The group soon exited the sewers as they entered the west side of New York before they soon reached the north side as a part of the sidewalk blew up and jumping was a man in a red jumpsuit holding a katana and uzi.
"Huh? Isn't that…" Miriam said.
"Oh, you have got to be kidding me…" Cheetah said. "He is the last person I want to deal with right now."
"You guys look like the cast of a really bad sitcom. Ooo, I know, I could be the wacky neighbor who winds up killing you! That oughta get your ratings up." Deadpool said. "After all, it's been awhile since I've made an appearance."
"Yeah, and from what I heard, they didn't miss you." Captain Cold said.
"Ouch, now that's cold, especially coming from you." Deadpool said.
"That's part of the name for a reason." Captain Cold said.
"And judging from the look of Zamazenta over here, it looks like the little wildcat went with Pokemon Shield while the hardass went with Sword. Womp womp." Deadpool said.
"What do you want, Wade?" Zamazenta asked.
"Chance's are he was hired by Apocalypse." Tsuki said.
"Close, I was recruited by a really groovy dude named Mr. Sinister. Oh, sure, he looks like Death warmed over, but underneath that creepy facade you'll find out he's...even creepier." Deadpool said.
"Wade's acting creepy...more creepier than he usually is." Al said.
"And that's not getting to the fact he's basically a ripoff of Slade." Captain Cold said.
"Oh, how dare you!" Deadpool said. "I am so much better than he is!"
"Right, right… Just because you got the drop on him in that one fight." Poison Ivy said.
"Alright, that's it! I'm about to kick you all square in the chimichangas!" Deadpool said.
"Don't want to bother looking into what that means." Cheetah said. "Let's just get this over with. The sooner we get done with him, the sooner we can go into the tower."
"Yup, and he just gave us a way into the sewers." Al said.
The group soon proceeded to beat on Deadpool as he soon collapsed.
"Good! I wanted to lose." Deadpool muttered at the end.
"Well...ready for our last trip into the sewers?" Ace asked.
"Yes. Good thing we actually have gas masks this time." Cheetah said.
The group made their way through the sewers as they soon made it into Apocalypse's tower.
"Greetings. In Genosha we saw Apocalypse was willing to drown the city's populace at the first threat of attack. We cannot allow that to happen in New York. Therefore once you reach the command level I'll be sending Beast up to meet you." Professor Xavier said.
"Understood, Professor." Cheetah said.
The group began making their ascent through the tower, all the while dealing with Apocalypse's prelates before they soon reached Sinister's lab and saw both Beast and Sabertooth there.
"Hello, my friends. I trust all has gone according to plan so far. Just a minute and I'll begin a shutdown of any defensive systems Apocalypse might have." Beast said.
"But what're you doing here, Sabertooth?" Papelne asked.
"The furball here demanded I come along as protection." Sabertooth said.
"Wait, there wouldn't be any reason for Beast to need protection unless…" Ace said before widening his eyes. "Sabertooth it's a trap!" he yelled, but it was too late as Sabertooth was warped away.
"I stand corrected. Apparently, you're the one who needs protection." Beast said in an evil tone.
"That's not Beast… He's being controlled!" Cheetah said.
"Well done, my servant. You have not only handed the fourth victim to me - you have delivered my enemies. This pleases me greatly." Apocalypse said as his voice was heard.
"For that I am proud, my master." Beast said.
"Beast, please come to your senses!" Miriam said.
"The Beast you knew was erased back at the Savage Lands. I am now Dark Beast - Servant of Apocalypse." Beast said.
"Ignore these fools, Beast. Let us rendezvous with Sabertooth on the roof. There we will complete the final leg of our journey." Apocalypse's voice said as Beast ran onto a teleportation pad.
"No! This can't be! They have all the pieces needed to complete their task now! We must not let them proceed any further." George said.
"Right, after him!" Zero said.
