Exceptions: We own (are): Vorserkeien, Lightning/-bulb, Rebel Mission, & Electricia Croft
Good vs. Evil3 days later:
The group started packing. Most were packing happily except Vorserkeien, Rogue, Rebel Mission and Legolas, who were complaining that they had been woken up too early. Lightning rolled her eyes at them, and James laughed.
"You would have thought," said Lightning. "That after all of the days that they have got up early, listened to loud music and generally mucked around that they would have been ready for this!"
"Well," replied James. "I knew that they had drunk too much Vodka last night!"
They both laughed, and packed the rest of their things.
One hour later, everyone had packed, well, minus Vorserkeien, Rogue, Rebel Mission and Legolas, who were still complaining. Lightning and Storm were talking about what they hoped the weather would be like. They both agreed that they would make it sunny, but not enough to melt the snow. Cyclops and Wolverine were arguing again about 'messing with my girl'. Phoenix and Prof. X were standing to the side, in hysterics with what both of them were saying to each other. Nightcrawler was trying to get attention off someone, then, when he realized that he wasn't getting any, he turned on the waterworks, before helping Rogue (who was the only one that felt sorry for him) pack her things. Lara and James were practising shooting with each other's guns.
Then the car came. It was a black limousine (not stretched) and out of it came an old lady, followed by a man in a white coat.
"007," said M. "006 is still alive."
"I didn't think that he was still 006, I thought that he lost that name," muttered Lightning.
"Shut up," shouted M. "He could be here in Iceland."
"He must have come with a broken back," answered James.
"Don't be so stupid," interrupted Legolas. "Orcs killed him. As Boromir, I mean."
"Errrrrrrrr, Leggy," whispered Vorserkeien. "Wrong movie!"
"Oh."
"Well, anyway, keep a look out," continued M "And Q wants to know if you still have your car." James glared at Nightcrawler, who was grinning sheepishly at him.
"It's here somewhere," he answered, not mentioning the fact that Nightcrawler had teleported with it.
"Well, it doesn't matter," said M. "Q designed a new one for you."
"Yes, so I did, but I don't trust 007 with it. The car will blow up even before he get within 10 metres of it!" Yelled Q.
"Q, would he really do anything like that to your car?" asked Lightning innocently. "I mean, is it really his fault that he is forever crashing it?"
"Lightning, you're not helping." Muttered James through his teeth.
"Right, 007, come with me," ordered Q. "Now this is a very special car. It has all the normals, Q-Wedge, Q-Boost etc. However, look at this." He pressed a button in the car. It flew up 2 metres. "I am very proud of this 007. Along with its invisibility, this will make car nearly invincible!"
"And he's worried about Bond crashing it?" whispered Vorserkeien to Lightning who smiled back.
"Good luck 007, and, please, come back alive," shouted M from the car. Then it drove off.
"Well?" Asked Rebel Mission. "Shall we go?"

"Are we ready yet?" Yelled Magneto to Raven Darkholme, a.k.a. Mystique, as she dragged half a dozen huskies towards the sledges.
"We will be when I get these dogs over to the sledges," she replied, trying to keep them under-control.
"Fine, but we better be ready soon, the rest are nearly here. Oh, and Mystique, when they come, change your form to human please, we don't to scare them at first sight!"
Mystique rolled her eyes to Toad and Sabretooth, who were sitting down, doing nothing.
"They'll be scared of his face when they see it!" she mouthed to them. Then one of the huskies tried to make a break. Mystique fell, still holding onto the leads. Sabretooth decided to help his friend, and, carefully, lifted all the dogs up and attached them to the sledges. Mystique looked up. Three helicopters flew overhead. Quickly, she transformed herself into a pretty young woman.
"That's what you think that you would look like if you weren't blue?" Asked Toad. She didn't reply.
The helicopters landed. Out got all the men, including Alex West, Manfred Powell and 006.
"Are we ready yet?" Asked 006. Then Mystique asked if she could turn blue again. Everyone nodded but to tell the truth they weren't ready. Alex West fainted, Mr. Powell went white and 006 looked like he had just seen a ghost. Then Mystique said in a very quiet voice, "Boo". The whole army ran away screaming.
"Was it something I said?"
Then out of nowhere about 25 soldiers came running back, still screaming.
"They must be running round in circles," muttered 006. However behind them came a black panther with a person riding on it. The panther stopped suddenly, and the woman fell off.
"LARA! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?" yelled Alex, who had just woken up.
"LARA? LARA! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I'M CALLED ELECTICIA CROFT, Lara's EVIL twin sister!" she shouted back.
"Lara has a sister?" Asked Powell.
"Seems like it," Alex replied. Then they all introduced each other to everyone. There was one problem that arose. They had lost a lot of men.
"I doubt that they have anymore than us," Electicia said. "They probably only have some of the X-Men and a couple of others. We will outnumber them easily." They all hoped that at any rate.
* * *
Meanwhile, the other side were steadily making their way to the temple. They had decided to take the X-Jet as they all fitted into it better than James' Aston-Martin.
After a while, they stopped at what looked like a village. There were a number of tents there like most villages and they decided to stop there so they could take a break.
In that very village, 006 watched calmly as everyone got out. He smiled. Electicia had been right. They outnumbered them easily. Mystique walked up to his side.
"Go and greet them," he ordered her. By now he had got used to her blue skin. She nodded and transformed into her pretty young lady, but this time with warmer clothes on, so that it would not look strange. "Bring them back here," he added.
"Something's wrong," said James. "There should be more people here." He glanced at Lightning. She wasn't bothered. She looked at him with a face of 'Don't-worry-about-anything-until-it-comes'.
"Is this a good place to buy souvenirs?" Asked Vorserkeien excitedly.
"Hmm, I personally prefer the next village, but this was a good'un before it was abandoned," commented Rebel Mission. She was looked at by all. "What?" she asked.
"That doesn't look abandoned," said Cyclops.
"Look at all of those cars," added Storm.
"And those People," said Lara.
"Someone's coming," muttered Wolverine, signalling towards Mystique, who had come out to 'greet' them.
"Welcome," said Mystique, with a friendly smile.
"Hello, we have come here to take a break. We are travelling to the other side of Iceland." Prof. Xavier told her. Wolverine tapped his shoulder.
"That's Mystique," he whispered. Prof. Xavier paused.
"Lets see what she wants," he said finally. Everyone agreed.
"Would you like to come with me?" Asked Mystique. They all followed her into the village. Rebel Mission skipped happily alongside Mystique.
"So," she asked. "What do you work as?"
"A tour guide," answered Mystique.
"WOW, THAT'S WHAT I WORK AS!" Yelled Rebel Mission excitedly. "What is your name?"
"Err, Kelly-Ann," murmured Mystique.
"When did this village get populated again?"
"Half year ago. They found a diamond mine underneath the surface," said Mystique hopefully. Rebel Mission wasn't listening properly so just nodded.
"You know," said Mystique. "Don't you think it must be really cool to be able to change your shape whenever you feel like it?"
"What, like, as a mutation?" Asked Rebel Mission, wide-eyed.
"Yeah."
"It would be great! I always wanted things like that!" Grinned Rebel Mission.
"You think so?" Asked Mystique in shock. She wasn't expecting an answer like that.
"YEAH, I could sneak up on everyone, and go into places I shouldn't! You know, like the men's dressing room! Oh, by the way, call me Rebs. My real name is Rebel Mission, but that's so long to pronounce. R-E-B-E-L M-I-S-S-I-O-N. I mean, its like someone being called Supercalafigerlistspagettialagoshus!"
"Err, that's not how you say it," said Mystique in a quiet voice. "You say it Supercowafriterlistexpesstaligo..., hang on, no that's not right, Surercowsfres..., no, not that..."
"Seems that Rebs has found a friend," muttered Wolverine.
"Not for long," whispered Cyclops. Phoenix smiled. That was the first nice thing hey had ever said each other today. Well, the kind of nice thing they had said.
"Here they come," murmured Alex. He turned the other way, and saw another helicopter coming into land. Out of it came a middle-aged man and a young black haired woman.
"Ah, William Stryker," greeted Mr. Powell. "And who is this?" He nodded towards the young lady who was making her fingers click like she had metal in them.
"This is Yuriko Oyoma, or as some call her, Lady Deathstrike. Mr. Powell, thank you for inviting me here today." replied Stryker.
"Welcome to our village," said Mystique.
"Are there good souvenir shops here?" Asked Vorserkeien excitedly.
"I'm afraid that we haven't managed to get the business going yet, but once we do, I'll let you know," said Mystique hurriedly. They all walked into the village, watching the guards sitting around fires, still in shock from Mystique's first appearance.
"I think that we have got ourselves into a whole load of trouble," said Prof. X. All of them agreed.
"Welcome!" Greeted Powell. "It is nice to see you all!" Lara made a lot of coughing noises, which, in between came sarcastic comments like 'My arse' and things that we are afraid we cannot put in this fic.
"Anyway, LIKE I WAS SAYING," he yelled at Lara and waited for the coughing to stop. "Thank you. Nice to see you all. As I can see, you are here to find the legendary Jasmine's Crystal."
"JASMINE'S CRYSTAL! WHAT A SOPPY NAME!" Yelled James.
"That's what I thought," agreed Lightning. "I think it must have been translated wrongly!"
"Excuse me, have you finished?" Asked Powell politely. "I am trying to sound like an evil tyrant here AND EVIL TYRANTS DO NOT GET INTERRUPTED!"
"They do!" yelled Vorserkeien.
"They don't!" Powell yelled back.
"Do!"
"Don't!"
"Do..."
"SHUT UP!" Cried Rogue. They both shut up. "Thank you," she finished.
"Well, anyway," continued Powell. "If you would like to stay here and help us find the crystal, that will be fine with us, but if not then..."
"US, GO WITH YOU? WHO ARE YOU KIDDING? THERE IS NO WAY THAT WE ARE GOING TO HELP YOU..." Yelled Prof X. He then blurted out a load of swear words that again we cannot put down. When he finished, he saw everyone looking at him.
"Sorry," he said quietly.
"Wow," said Wolverine in a very low voice. "Like, when did the professor know how to swear?" There was no answer.
"You don't want to join us? Very well then. Everyone, come over here!" Yelled Powell. All the people on his side walked up next to him.
"Wow, what a lot of men you have," muttered Lightning sarcastically. "What happened? Did something scare them?"
"Well, at least we have more than you," said Powell, thinking that it was a good comeback line. Lightning grinned at Storm. Storm smiled, and both of their eyes turned pearly-white. The sky suddenly darkened and a storm began. Lightning sent a large lightning bolt down in the middle of Powell's group while Storm sent smaller ones round the edge. At the end, Powell had half of his remaining army.
"Oh," he said. "Well, anyway, meet Alex West, my main Tomb Raider and a person I rely on a lot." Lightning and Lara started choking again, while muttering 'if he stays alive for long' under their voices.
"And this is Magneto who I think we all know who he is and his people, Mystique …"
"I think we know who they all are thanks," said Wolverine.
"Ah, Wolverine, how are you," greeted Stryker.
"Goodie, fun!" giggled Nightcrawler, sitting on his tail.
"DON'T DO THAT!" yelled Vorserkeien. "IT FREAKS ME OUT!"
"Well, your ears freak me out, so you can talk!" Answered Nightcrawler. Both Vorserkeien and Legolas turned a shade of purple. Meanwhile, everyone else had managed to keep Wolverine and Stryker apart, telling both of them that they could kill each other later.
"Anyway, I would all like you to meet Sauron, no, not that sir? Saruman, no, sorry, Elrond. Oh Agent Smith, its all the same to me."
"Elrond, what are you doing in that black suit?" Asked Legolas. Lightning buried her head in her hands.
"Stop confusing your movies, Leggy," whispered Vorserkeien. "We're on the Matrix at the moment."
"Oh, sorry."
"And also, meet Cypher, his friend." Lightning and Vorserkeien started choking again, [A.N. It will stop sometime soon, the choking.] this time muttering things like friend, yeah right.
"STOP IT, ALL OF YOU!" Yelled Powell. "NEXT PERSON TO DO THAT WILL DIE!" James snorted. He then started choking with comments like if you can shoot straight and bad guys can't shoot.
"Anyway," continued Powell, "may I proudly present (drum-roll) 006!" James rolled his eyes. Secretly he hoped he would have more missions like this.
Suddenly, the phone in Vorserkeien's pocket started ringing. She took it out and put it on the floor. Everyone, except Vorserkeien and Lightning, watched with wide eyes as three people emerged from it. After that another two people came. All wore black, minus one, who wore white.
"Oh, sh*t," muttered Agent Smith. One of the men then spoke.
"Surprised to see me Agent Smith?"
"Mr. Anderson, that is my line, and my line only."
"My name is Neo." The woman in black walked over to Lightning.
"We heard rumours that Agent Smith had managed to get his own body, so we came straight away," she muttered.
"So, that one's The One, is he, Trinity?" Asked Lightning.
"Yes, he's wonderful." Vorserkeien walked up to them.
"Oooh, you're in love, Trinny!" she giggled. Trinity sighed.
"Well, I'm supposed to be at any rate," she said smiling. In the meantime, Agent Smith was trying to drag Cypher away from Morpheus and Switch and Mouse were trying to drag Morpheus away.
"Is all we do here is fight?" Asked Lara.
"Like you're any better," said Cyclops.
"Right, time to explain everything," said Lightning, now that Morpheus and Cypher were separated.
"What we are in now is not the Matrix, believe it or not," she said. "We are actually in a real world. The Matrix is an exact copy of that world. When we get unplugged, which most of the world is now, thanks to me and Vorsie," Lightning added, smiling at Vorsie. "Anyway, when we get unplugged and when we go back to the Matrix, we actually travel to this world, the real world, but, because the Matrix is an exact copy, we see all the people in the Matrix. Do you get me?"
"What is the Mathematical equation for this?" Asked Alex stupidly.
"Alex, with the size of your brain, you wouldn't understand it anyway," replied Lara. Agent Smith was obviously getting tired.
"Can we kill them yet?" he asked.
"Have a go," muttered Lightning. Agent Smith didn't look too pleased to see her.
"If you think you can beat me," he said. "Have a go." And Lightning did. It was very easy really. One lightning bolt = one electrocuted man lying on the ground.
"Come on," said Morpheus, "Lets go." Then something got in his way. A black panther.
"Stay there Snowy," said a voice from behind him. It was Electricia.
"You little …" said Lara angrily but they were surrounded by the remainder of Powell's army, with no way out.
"Lara, I hoped that I would see you again soon," said Electricia. "How's Daddy, oh, I forgot, he's dead. I knew he wouldn't last for long."
"I see, and who's the moggy?" asked Rebs.
"HOW DARE YOU CALL HER A MOGGY, THAT'S SNOWY, MY BLACK PANTHER!" Yelled Electricia angrily. She turned, but didn't get any further, as ice crawled up her legs and up her body. And she wasn't the only one. Everyone in Powell's army was having the same problem.
"What's happening?" asked Phoenix. Rogue answered in one word.
"Bobby." At that moment, two boys came in. One had blonde hair and blue eyes. The other had brown hair and eyes and was holding a cigarette lighter.
"Bobby," screamed Rogue, running up to him. "You're here."
"Well, well, our little Iceman's back," said Lightning, walking up to him. "Where have you been?"
"Shouldn't we be asking you that question?" asked the other boy.
"John," said Prof. X. "You're back."
"Looks like it," said Cyclops. "Pyro, why didn't you go with Magneto?"
"Couldn't feel like it," answered Pyro. "But I heard about what they were planning to do so I went to the X-Mansion, found Iceman and we left to go to Iceland."
"Come to think of it, how do you lot know each other?" asked Neo to Vorsie and Lightning.
"With Trinity and Morpheus?" Asked Lightning. "Well, we work with them, Morpheus unplugged us when we were about four years old, so we grew up with him. Well, not true, Vorsie grew up with Legolas in Mirkwood and I grew up at the X-Mansion. But mutants seem to have a way to get into the Matrix without using telephones, so I pop back there whenever I feel like it or Vorsie calls me when she wants to go back."
"Let's go," said Pyro. "So I can unfreeze them." They all left to continue on their journey.
T.B.C…
Vorsie: oookay, don't ask about all the matrix stuff. I had nothing to do with it!
