Rules for Deadite Hunting
"So what do these Deadite things look like?" Logan asked as he landed the X-Jet in the middle of Paris.
"Oh, trust me you'll know." Ash said with an insane smile, "They'll be the ones threatening to…"
"… SWALLOW YOUR SOUL!" A flying woman's scream interrupted Ash's explanation.
"They say that a lot for one." Ash pointed at the now smoldering body. "They don't look to pretty either, kinda like if John had a kid with a Mack truck."
"Ha ha ha." Thunderbird mock laughed at Ash's joke, despite the seemingly hostile appearance the two actually got along quite well.
Unfortunately the small conversation was interrupted by a large white robotic form the came rushing through a small china shop (thankfully the owner remembered to pay his insurance this time), and stopped just a few feet from the group.
"You the X-Men?" A voice rang over a loudspeaker.
"Yes, we are." Xavier nodded. "And you would be?"
"Name's Vincent Detro and the big hunk of metal I'm riding in is called Valor." Vincent explained. "We help defend Tony Stark's European office and take a few jobs from SHIELD every now and then…"
"I guess they told you we were coming?" Wolverine grumbled.
"Yeah, and we could use the help, the people in this town started going ballistic a few hours ago and we can't put them down with anything BUT lethal force." Vincent's voice told the group that he was tired. Then he turned towards Cyclops. "I've seen you before, haven't I?"
"Well we are on TV a lot." Cyclops stammered as he tried to avoid the possible wrath of the mech and its pilot.
"Now, I don't watch much TV…" Vincent was obviously trying to remember. "Oh well, must not have been anything big if I can't remember it."
"Right, right, right." Ash interrupted. "You know while we're all sitting here nice and cozy chatting the hours away, the deadites are building an army of evil possessed people who you have to kill to stop, so let's shut up and stop them!"
"Jeez, can't you shut him up Chuck?" Wolverine whispered in Xavier's ear.
"I wish I could." Xavier groaned, "But he has the same immunity that Shipwreck does."
"Ok." Vincent said as he opened Valor's cockpit. "I'm gonna have to join you on foot, Valor's cells are low so he needs to recoup a bit and head back for refueling." Vincent was a tall and athletic young man with shaggy brown hair and dull green eyes; he was covered head to toe in a Stark industries single piece pilot uniform and a pair of black boots.
"Well that's good in a sense." Ash spoke up. "Now we can split up even further. Prof. you can take Red, El-Beardo, El-Beardo's daughter, Rogue and the blue kid to take out sonny boy and his body hoping play mate while Vinci and the rest of us clean house with the deadites."
"I'm afraid that won't…" A sudden thud from behind caused everyone to jerk their heads up to the top of the X-Jet, right were Venom was standing.
"TaKe THEM all, WE shALL help THe pUny humANs fIGHt the possesSED ones." The hideous alien symbiote hissed with a great deal of pleasure.
"Yeah, that's good and all, but…" Ash began, but was cut off by one of Venom's tentacles that reached past him and took down several silent Deadites that were creeping towards the group. Ash could only blink in astonishment. "You're hired."
"GO!" Venom growled to the group, "NoW, MOre COME!"
The X-Men hesitated slightly, and it showed that they were uncomfortable with leaving Ash and Vincent alone with Venom, but Ash was not worried. "Go already; if I can handle an unending army of these things, the three of use well tear them apart."
Before the X-Men left though Thunderbird stepped up to Ash and spoke. "If I don't make it, don't let the kids get mad about it."
"What?" Ash whirled around to face his newest friend, but Thunderbird was already off with the other group.
"Hey, Chainsaw guy!" Vincent called out. "They're here."
With out a single pause in his actions Ash whirled around and flawlessly decapitated a Deadite with a single blast from his shotgun. "Name's Ash…" He brought the gun to his face and blew away the smoke. "Hail to the King, baby." That's when the fight really began.
A flood of twenty or more Deadites came rushing towards the trio. Vincent fired wildly, small sparks of electricity fired from his side arm and blew out the backs of several deadites' heads. Venom tore wildly into the approaching horde, decapitating, severing and otherwise mangling the possessed humans. Ash just stood and waited for the ones he knew were waiting in the shadows.
"That wasn't so hard." Vincent chuckled as he shot the last charging deadite down. "Kinda like shooting fish in a really big barrel.
"We AGree…" Venom snarled as he chucked a few bodies towards the center of the road. "ThiS WAs no ChallENGE."
"No?" Ash asked sardonically, "How about them?" Ash pointed his shotgun behind the group to the rooftops, which were lined in with deadites.
"Jesus, there has to be at least a hundred of them!" Vincent exclaimed. "I don't have the kind of charge for that."
Ash silently tossed Vincent his Berretta and nodded. "When you run out with yours you can use that, I got plenty of ammo." He followed the gun up with several fully loaded clips of explosive tipped bullets.
"Thanks." Vincent whispered.
"THiS is much MORe to OuR liKing…" Venom's voice was again filled with disturbed joy.
"Say, uh, what's with Mister Psycho here?" Ash jerked a thumb towards Venom; thankfully the symbiote hadn't heard him.
"It's an alien parasite that attaches to a human host and gives them incredible powers, but controls them for the most part." Vincent smiled.
"WhY do THeY not ATTack?" Venom wondered aloud.
"Simple, we're in a group, so we're most effective like this." Ash explained. "Two simple rules for deadite hunting: Get in a group and STAY in a group."
"Right." Vincent scanned the rooftops. "Take the fight to them?"
"Why not? I've already survived one suicide mission against them, why not another." Ash said as he pulled his shot gun out and blasted a shell at a distant target that lost its head in almost record time. "Groovy."
The trio of deadite killers charged the roof and Venom picked up both his allies as he pulled them effortlessly upwards. On the roof the three fought a small horde and managed to make an effective battle against them. Vincent had already switched to the exploding rounds and was tearing through the deadites with little trouble, except for the fact that they just wouldn't stop coming.
"Ash, where are these things coming from?" Vincent shouted as he saw several skeletons climb out from beneath the streets.
"Oh jeez…" Ash groaned. "Don't tell me this city has catacombs!" He loped the heads off of a deadite.
"No, just a lot of organized crime." Vincent looked again. "Is that Jimmy Hoffa?"
"YeS!" Venom said in surprise.
"That's it!" Ash said as he chopped through another Deadite. "We need to cut these things off at the source."
"Yeah, well do you know how to do that?" Vincent shouted as he had to physically push several deadites back.
"Find the guy reading from the damn book that started this and kill him!" Ash shouted back as the deadites threatened to overtake him.
"Then get on it!" Vincent jumped off the single storyroof and ran towards Valor, just as a laser jutted down from the sky andpierced the left shoulder of the mech. "The three of us can hold these things off."
"Three? Kid you need to learn how to count; with out me there are only two of you!" Ash shouted as he fell backwards off the roof only to be caught by Venom. "My hero." Ash joked, Venom just dropped him face first on the concrete.
"Sir, I am afraid, that you are mistaken. I am VALOR, model 0001A." The mech was now walking and talking by itself alongside Vincent, while pelting the deadites off at a distance. "Please make your way to your mission objective as soon as possible, my pilot and I will hold off the threat as long as possible with Venom's aid."
"Get going Ash, we can handle it." Vincent said as he pulled a rifle from inside the mech. "Venom take them out at a distance!"
"Oh God…" Ash groaned as he saw an opening in the approaching Deadite mob. "I hate that book!"
