(Disclaimer: Own nothing and lived to tell the tale. Excuse grammar and spelling, thank you for reading.)
As The Stranger came into the room Todd was alarmed and scared and struggling but to no avail. The stranger came closer to the front of Toad. He was a tall elderly man with white hair and white clothing. In fact the whole room was white.
Todd was able to talk through his mouth guard thingy but was petrified at the sight of all the 'weaponry' around him. It looked like the dentist without those nice nurses talking to you and small utensils.
The Stranger sat down on a stool beside Toads bed. "Ease up my friend, I'm only here to help."
Todd finally felt strong enough to talk. "Nice enough to help, you kidnapped us and where stuck who knows where yo."
"Do not fret." Said the man in an elderly nice voice. "We our on the planet Arkos 7 in a galaxy neiboring yours."
Todd's eyes stared at the ceiling. "God if I die today I want you to know I always wanted to be a firm believer."
Naaa naaa naaaa Brother Hood...
Brotherhood-Advanced #5
The Stranger Part2
By: Riddler kid
The Stranger started to walk around the Room telling an unfamiliar tall to the unwanting Frog boy. "You see 'Toad' along time ago there was me. Me and another fellow we were friends for at least a century or so. When the human race began we would either Marvel at the Wonders of your civilization or laugh and petty your worthless creature's.
The Stranger continued to walk around the room with his hands behind his back and crouching forward he continued his story. "Your kind symbolized strength."
Todd looked at the man. "You mean Mutants right."
"Yes I do." The man returned the glance towards Todd the continued pacing. "As your race continued through the years more hatred had been brought to your kind as you expanded. Eventually Two men met and made a safe haven for your kind. The men worked together and were great friends. The safe Haven was dubbed the savage land. But eventually the two rebelled out against each other. The Rebel ended with one stabbing the other with a metal spear through the back. Paralysing the man and crippling the man forever. My friend followed this chain of events for some time enjoying the small fights in between. The paralysed man went his separate ways and started an organization to help Mutants.
Todd thought it over for a second. "You mean the X-men."
"Right again. You're a smart fellow. The savage land didn't last long it ended quite soon. The other man made his own team to rebel these X-men. He had the Idea that Man should serve mutants, perhaps this is what lead to the fighting."
Todd knew who this one was. "Magneto."
"Your so smart. Magneto has tried many times and you have been involved haven't you." Todd nodded his head knowingly. "My friend discovered a flaw in this Magneto and decided to expose it. I on the other hand thought that mutants should be cured from this illness and set free. My Friend enjoys watching you mutants fight and wants to see what will happen. My friend left for earth."
"What does this have to do with me." Todd asked.
"My friend has reached earth. You have been chosen from birth."
"To do what."
"You will learn in due time my friend."
"What the heck do you want with my friends though."?
"Well assuming you fail your mission I'll have back up." The Stranger went up to Wanda and put his hands on her cheek. "Don't you think she'll make a great House maid.
Todd struggled hard to get free as the Stranger laughed in his face.
"They left some place." Asked Freddy.
"How the heck should I know, there just gone." Pyro complained back.
"They probably just went for a walk or something." Fred replied
"With Toad." Lance commented.
"Well maybe he tagged along." Fred talked back.
"Now guys lets just assume they went somewhere." Eileen said. The boys nodded in unison. "Why would they leave for a walk six o'clock in the morning?"
"Well uh." Said Pyro.
"maybe...nah." Said Lance.
"Duhh.. your Pancakes are burning."
"Ohh shit." Eileen said as she took the pancake out of the pan. "Well what ever I'm sure there fine."
"Uhun."
Thor, Wasp, Iron Man, Eagle Eye and there fearless leader Captain American get set to leave our bold planet and off into space. Captain American was at the front of the ship with the Wasp beside him. Thor was sitting behind Captain American and had Eagle Eye beside. Iron man sat lonely behind everyone reading a newspaper. Thor burped towards Eagle Eye. Eagle Eye smelt the distasteful smell. "Dude that was totally un called for."
"We need to have more fun around here everything is so boring." Thor said.
"I for one agree." Said Iron man. "I'm tired of going on space missions and taking out the bad guy."
"One more mission I promise." Stated Captain American. "We save these kids and head home for some fun. Alright."
The Avengers take off into space in second out of their launch bay they headed high into space and in seconds were on the Trail of The Stranger.
Todd continued to struggle as the stranger walked off but once again to avail our Todd was trapped within his restraints. "psttt."
Todd turned his head to look at Peitro. Wanda was in the middle of both of them but Todd was able to see Peitro a little. "Where the heck are we."
"Some stupid planet place."
Peitro got a questionable look on his face. "A Planet. What."
"Never mind. Lets just find a way out of here."
Todd and Peitro looked around at there surroundings. Peitro tried to struggle out of his bondings but to no use. Todd continued to look. His tongue was useless with the cage around it so if he could get it off. "I only wish that."
Wanda then jolted up and suddenly Todd's cage fell off with a pink flair. "Now that was cool. Toads tongue coming at ya."
"No wait." Said peitro.
"What the heck is going on." Wanda asked questionably.
"Wanda play dead." Peitro said.
"What! I will not play dead for you, where the hell are we?" Yelled Wanda.
Suddenly a green slime ball landed in her mouth. Todd looked scared knowing he the one who spat it. The ball caused Wanda to pass out a little with out being able to breath through her mouth.
"Good then." Peitro stared at the pulse rate chart.
Back on the good planet known as earth. The idiotic group known as the 'Rest of the Brotherhood'. That of course being Lance, Eileen, Fred and St.John await of the return of their members. Of course after an hour the four mutants get bored of waiting and headed out to look for the missing members.
John went to the theatre nearby and pointed at the two guys in front of him. He pointed his finger at a picture of Todd and rapidly pressed his face on the picture. The guy's shaked there heads up and down. John gets raged and pulls out his lighter and creates a fireball. The two guys walk back in fear and point down the road. John smiles and heads in that direction.
Lance walks to the skate park and looks at the people suspiciously. He grabs one of the kids off his skateboards and puts him on the ground in front of him. And asked politely where his friends were. The Boy was scared and shot his hand out in a direction. Lance walked away nicely and started on his way.
Blob had a seventeen year old in his one hand and had a fist in the other against the wall of the music store within the mall. Eileen walked by and stared at Fred. Fred smiled and chucked the person across the room.
The Team ended back at home. "I've searched everywhere. There just not here." Complained Pyro as he entered the kitchen and sat down at the Table.
"You don't think they left the city do they." Fred asked.
"Not if they walked. John and me are the only one with cars and they're both in the Driveway. Unless someone picked them up." Lance said back.
"Then maybe..." Everyone looked at the ceiling up into space.
A small saucer with a little green head was out of it ask the ship beside him. "Have you seen three weird looking mutants."
The others head shook from side to side.
"Nah that stupid." Complained Lance.
"Maybe they were kidnapped or something." John said. "That would explain why there is a hole in your neck." John leaped over the Table.
"Cut that out. My neck musta hit something sharp in the fall."
Eileen went to her room very much tired from exploring the city. Fred was starting to believe in the red kid. "Maybe Johns right."
"Fine then go do whatever you want they'll probably be home in a hour."
"Come on Fred."
Five minutes later John was wearing his goggles and a Sherlock Holmes costume complete with hat. John pulled out a magnifying glass and looked at the ground of which Lance had fallen. Fred wearing a huge Watson jacket and cap still not in his size appeared beside John and looked intently at the ground. John found something on the ground. "Ahaa ash why would there be ash here."
Fred pointed at the ceiling and John looked up to see the missing floor that he had burnt down earlier in the story. "Moving on then."
Peitro suddenly went dead as his pulse rate went to a sudden blurr sound on the cardiac thingy. Todd looked at Peitro wondering what the heck he was doing and Wanda was more or less asleep with her pulse rate going higher. The baffled Stranger walked into the Room with a two little hover robots beside him. He ran to Peitro and unstraped one of Peitro's arms picked it up and held his pulse. He could feel it faintly. He dropped the arm and called out to his machines. "Quickly get him to the..."
The Bots were covered in slime. The Stranger looked down at Peitro. Peitro quickly gave the man rapid punches of speed at the face. The Stranger fell back on the side of Wanda's bed. Peitro grab a key card thing from The Stranger's pocket. He then unlocked himself from the bed and ran to free Todd. When Todd was fine on the ground he felt his wrists happy to be away from the clamps. Peitro was about to run off but Todd called out to him as the White place went info red. "What about Wanda hey."
"You love her. You save her." Peitro snapped.
Peitro chucked the key card at Todd. Todd caught it and un clipped Wanda from the bed. Wanda got up slow and rather angry with Todd. "When this is over your gonna die toadie boy."
Todd felt rather dumb for his before action and followed Wanda out of the Building. Peitro was at the Door with it closed, He grabbed Todd and opened the door and chucked him out. Todd hit the ground hard but was still able to breath. Peitro felt safe now knowing they could breath. Peitro looked at his sister in angry grin and sped off at Toad. Wanda continued to walk behind them. Peitro was about to run off just when Wanda stopped him with that blue orb thingy. "Dang it."
"You're not leaving here without me."
John sat at a single seated couch and smoked on a bubble pipe. Mumbling to him self. Fred sat beside him on a big couch doing nothing. A fire was on behind them to give that old fashioned look. Kitty walked in. "Ice tea."
John gave his Shire lock glance and said. "Please."
Fred and John got their tea and left the room. John spat out his tea on the floor. "This stuff is distaste full!" Yelled a John who tried to speak his best in an English accent.
Fred was gluging the whole cup and jug down. Jean walked into the room. "The Professor is ready to see you." Jean had a look in here eyes to why the two were dressed as they were.
Some of the Xavier students were in the room when al of a sudden. Jean walked in smiling a giggling to her self. Xavier was also smiling. John and Fred walked in costume and all. The people started to giggle. "Haha very funny." Fred Barked.
"Yes indeed." Said an extremely whacked out John.
John walked closer to the desk of the Professor. He placed his foot on the chair in front of the desk and took off his cap. The Xavier students obviously thought that this was an act of war. "Ahem. Mister Xavier is it." John said as if he was Matlock.
Remy walked in. "John what brings you here. Why the heck are your wearing those offal clothes?"
John started to get angry and flames were protruding from his body. "Can there be any other excuses around here!"
One of Logan's hands had claws coming out and Cyclops had his glasses ready to let a blast go. Just then Colossus came in. "Hey John were have you been."
John was ready to light the place on fire. "Since when did John hang around with Blob?" asked magma.
Fred rather Watson pulled out spectacles and a book from his coats pocket entitled 'The official guide to Brotherhood member's Past and Present' "Ahem." Fred was trying to get into his best Watson look and talk with the glasses and all. "Crimson commando 2 joined."
"stop your going to far. They still haven't come up with a name for her and all." Said the fairly mad John.
"How bout sabre."
"No not until Todd comes back." Said Pyro.
John rather Shere Lock grabbed one side of the book and read it over carefully. "No wonder this is wrong. Your reading the future you twit. Are time line is here." John stuck his finger on the paper.
Fred began to read again. "A Eileen Harsaw a.k.a. Phantazia joined the brotherhood three weeks ago today. Group Affiliates: Member of Brotherhood. A St.Jhon Allerdyce a.k.a. Pyro joined the Brotherhood a week and three days ago. Group affiliates: Acolytes. Current member of the Brotherhood. The end of story."
Fred closed the book and put it back in his cloak pocket along with his fake spectacles. The X-men stared at the two villains in the middle of the room. "You guys got new members and like no one told me." Yelled Kitty.
"Yah isn't that swell we'll come fight you later when we try to take the world over or something. Let's go Fred."
"But we didn't even ask our."
"Fred lets go."
The Stranger woke up after a quick nap leaning against the bed formally occupied by Wanda. He got up and shouted at the new robots that arrived. "Prepare the ship. Were going into overtime."
The three mutants had discovered an abandoned cave. Todd tried to start a fire by all means. He took two what he though to be stones and a couple of stuff that he also thought were twigs. He crouched and hit the rocks together. "'The Stranger' will be on us any minute and all you guys can do is complain about each other."
The siblings sat on either side of the cave staring at the to be fire. Peitro suddenly felt sick and vomited on the side of himself. He caught his breath again and stared teary eyed at the fire.
"You Ok man." Todd asked care like.
"Yes fine." Peitro stated to go woozy for a while and fainted.
Todd jumped over to Peitro and supported his head against the cave. "Wanda a little help here."
Wanda looked the other way. "I said that your Brother has fainted and he needs help."
Wanda waved her hand and the fire started. "Thank you." For the first time Todd had been a little angry with the Witch.
"Well isn't this great a great family all together safe and sound." The Stranger stood in all his glory at the three mutants in the cave. "Looks like you're in for a battle."
Wanda quickly got up and shot of burst off her hex a The Stranger. The Stranger shrugged and waved it off. Literally. Todd did an impressive quick at The Stranger. The Stranger grabbed Todd's leg and chucked him out of the cave. Todd hit the ground hard The Stranger walked up to Todd. He lifted his boot and dropped it. "You missed."
Peitro, Wanda and Todd were standing in fighting positions. Peitro at the front with a happy look in his eyes. "So be it then die!" Yelled The Stranger.
A little hover bot flied past The Stranger and dropped a small pipe in his hand. The pipe then expanded into a poll. Now in a fighting stance The Stranger got into a fighting stance. Imagine that an old guy fighting three people at the same time
Todd jumped up in the air and unleashed some spit at The Strangers face. The Stranger took a step and dodged the spit the stranger then hit Todd with his staff causing Todd to crash land on the ground nearby.
Wanda tried some hex attacks but was unable to get The Stranger the Way she had planed. She finally created a big hex and tossed it at him. He shot it back at her causing the place to flash and have her fall to ground not softly.
"Peitro just you and me. Isn't it fun." The Stranger said. "What chance do you have alone. You are a worthless, your powers don't even make you better than a pathetic human."
"Bring it on bald head."
The Stranger was enraged but upon so saw a Ship hovering to the ground. The Stranger looked on at the ship waiting to see what was within.
John and Fred had continued their search. Believing that there missing comrades were kidnapped they went back home to explain their theory to the rest of the Brother hood.
"Undoubtedly the missing friends of ours were kidnapped." Shere lock John proclaimed.
"Ah dam it." Lance groaned.
"What proof do you have of this." Eileen asked
"ahh proof. We have proof. Fred show the lady the nettle."
Fred pulled out of a plastic bag labelled 'Evidence' a needle. He held the needle in front of Eileen's eyes. "This needle can make exactly the same size of hole in the back of lances neck." John stated.
"any other proof?" Eileen commented.
"Were still working on that ok." Pyro stated back.
The Ship landed on the purple planet with great horrendance sounds that can only come from a space ship landing. Peitro continued to try to fight The Stranger but was unable to pass the security of the staff. The Stranger pushed Peitro off to the side. He turned to look at the heroes in front of him. "Ah the avengers I presoom. What has brought you to Arkos 7."
Captain America stepped forward to talk to the Stranger. "You have taken some people from are planet."
"What there mutants. It's not like you want them on you planet." Stated The Stranger.
Hawk Eye piped up. "Really! Can we go home now."
The Rest of the avengers stared back at Hawk Eye that told him to shut his trap. He did and Captain American continued his talk with the stranger. "They still belong to earth and that's were they belong. We can take them home nicely or the hard way. It's up to you."
The Stranger got into a fighting pose. With one of his hands he mad the sign 'bring it'.
"So be it."
The captain chucked his shield at The Stranger. The Stranger hit it with his staff knocking the shield to go directly into the ground. Hawk eye shot a bunch of energy arrows at The Stranger while Thor used his hammer to make an earth quake near The Stranger. A giant crevace appeared below The Stranger. The Stranger stood in one place not moving he was flying or levitating rather.
Iron man and Wasp flew in for the attack. The Stranger steadied himself and took out Iron man with one hit of his staff and a double knocker to Wasp. The Stranger then turned around and got punched right in the face by Captain American. The Stranger flew back to solid ground while his staff fell through the crevace.
The Stranger got up and stood firm on the ground. "We will meet again."
A cloaked ship reappeared and the stranger entered it. The Three mutants woke up in time to see the ship take off.
The Avengers looked at the three mutants. Offered a ride home to the mutants. Peitro and Wanda got up quickly. Peitro saw Wanda and ran at super speed to the ship Wanda just walked. "Thanks."
Captain American looked at the girl as she walked off to the ship along with the rest of the avengers. The Captain signalled Todd to come. The two headed to the ship. Upon reaching the Ship He saw that all the people within were strapped to there seats and ready for take off. When Todd looked back at the world here he saw purple when he looked again he saw what he was looking for. "I'm not going."
"What I are you sure there is no other way home." Captain American replied.
"I'm staying here." Todd jump back a few feet. By this time Captain American had been in the stairs up into the main part of the ship. Todd used his tongue to press the button to seal the hatched. He waved his hand good bye as it went up.
Captain American headed up to the ship. And sat in his chair. Wanda stared behind him and didn't see anyone familiar in fact no one at all. "Where's Todd?"
"That Other guy you were with." The captain said as the ship was about to take off. "He said he was staying behind."
"What!" Wanda screamed. She looked out the window at Todd down below he smiled and waved as he got smaller into the distance. "We need to go back and get him."
"Negative. He has decided to stay and we are low on fuel. We should be happy enough that we made it here." Iron man replied.
Peitro looked out his window and could barely see Todd. He dozed off and fainted back into his chair as the Ship left the atmosphere.
The return home wasn't as hard as they made it there. Actually not knowing how you got to a place is hard enough. Peitro entered the brotherhood house and headed up stairs to his room. Wanda came in slowly. And headed to her room.
"Where's Todd."
"He won't be with us no longer."
Well there you have it the second part to the two-part story. I'm sorry about this one being so long but I wanted to have a cliffhanger on the first one.
Next time...
Family issues ensue between the siblings of the brotherhood. Mean while the Brotherhood moan for reasons of Todd and Pyro thinks about being a detective full time.
Till next time,
The Riddler Kid.
