We're back folks!
AHHHH! Sorry i'm still trying to recover from watching the Sonic movie trailer.
"What the hell was that?!" Maverick yelled like Krusty The Clown.
My thoughts exactly.
"But maybe Detective Pikachu will be a good film right? RIGHT?!" Maverick asked out loud.
5UP3RN0V4: Thank you, there's more where that came from.
"That's what she said." Maverick snickered quietly.
Hush!
Anyway, now that we're all here.
LET'S GET DANGEROUS!
Mind Trip.
Back on the Star Search…
Victoria was with Aiden in his room on the ship, going through the records of Taskmaster on the terminal. So far they found a few recorded holo videos and audio recordings, and a couple of files on the mercenary's background. Aiden read his bio as he scrolled through the info.
This was easy with all of the files were in holographic form, all over the room. Thanks to the terminal's holo projectors.
"His name is Anthony Masters. A former sharp shooter and vanguard of the Nova Corps elite squad on Xandor." Aiden analyzed. "This space button man use to be a space cop. What are the odds?"
Victoria came closer and opened another hologram file, and held it like a piece of paper.
"Hold on, it says here that he was born with the ability to duplicate movements of others that he learned by observing. At the age of 8, he continued to discover his photographic reflexes to immediately copy other skills like learning to dive in a swimming pool when he saw someone else have performed, learning special techniques from sports players, and learning how to use weapon's a faster thinking rate then others, by watching the other top students train at the Nova academy." Victoria read.
"Wouldn't that technically be cheating?" Aiden asked.
"Tsk. His bullies thought so." Victoria said as she found an audio log at the bottom of the file. She selected it. "Listen to this."
A teenage sounding voice spoke in the log.
"I can't believe it. I get a month of suspended for finishing a fight i didn't cause! Nova Prime herself said for us to use our natural talents to adapt, and that's what i did! **Sigh** And yet i'm the one being punished instead of that asswipe who accused me of cheating. He's lucky i didn't have a knife in my hand."
"Sounds like he was copying the other students, and got into some deep trouble with them for it." Victoria said.
"Damn, didn't those Biff's ever heard of compared notes? He's must've admired their work so badly that he wanted to show value by copying them!" Aiden said in defense.
"Like he did you?" Victoria smirked.
"That's not copying that's shoplifting. i sell raw ass whoopins in one store call Mav-Mart, and anyone else trying to copy my recipes is generic." Aiden quipped earning a giggle from her. "Comparing him to me is like comparing a pogo stick to a jetpack."
Then they found another audio log.
"This one's from the principle of the academy. But this one takes place way after his suspension." Victoria said clicking on the file.
"Ma'am with all do respect, Anthony is incredible and gift, but he's also rebellious and an unpredictable student. Are you sure you want him for this squad?" The principle said.
" I do. It's not just about his scores or track records. It's about potential. And i see in him. We need him for this." Nova Prime stated.
"Very well." The principal replied with a sighed. "Will move him up immediately."
Then the audio ended.
They went though rest of the files, but they were all just reports on missions that Taskmaster succeeded for the Nova Corps. But nothing else on his personal life.
"That's it?! I get more info out of a half eaten happy meal!" Aiden complained.
"Is this really all the info that's there?" Victoria scowled.
"Ugh! Of all the-" Aiden groaned.
"Wait! Here's something!" Victoria grabs one particular file. "This one mentions his wife."
She opened the file and it had a picture of a lady with Anthony, the file had other info, also stating her name was Mercedes Merced. There was also a picture of some other Nova Corps members with them, they posted in the photo like one big happy family.
"Apparently Anthony's wife was also a Nova officer. And they both were apart of an elite Nova stealth team called the Shadow Initiative. But after her tragic dead during a Kree assault on D'bari V, Anthony blamed the Nova Corp for her death and the death of his team, saying that they never should've been there. And the Corps protocol got them killed." Victoria read. "Afterwards, he abandoned the Nova Corp and became the mercenary known as Taskmaster."
"Well that's depressing. I guess you never know what a fella might become, when he loses the ones he loved." Aiden said.
"J'son lost the people he loved. And look at him now. Helping me and trying to make things right." Victoria reminded him.
"That's the point, when you fall off course, you either go left or right. Taskmaster went left." Aiden stated before he resume searching through the records. "Anyway, It say here that he started his mercenary operations on Knowhere, where he bought his weapons and build the suit. That explains why he loves the skull theme."
Knowhere is a giant skull after all.
"Holy shit." Victoria gasped.
"What?" Aiden inquired.
"That's how he and the Ravagers found us." Victoria said in shock. "Taskmaster found us when me and Jase found and stole the second shard from the Collector's museum on Knowhere."
"You both robbed from the Collector? AKA the Frank Costello of outer space and lived?" Aiden's eyes widened.
"He never saw me coming." Victoria shrugged has she camouflaged in her seat.
"I….totally forgot you could do that." Aiden remarked. " So when Deathbird hired Taskmaster and the Ravagers to capture you and Mister Knife, you both just happened to be in the neighborhood for some reason."
"Yeah J'son and i couldn't go to civilized planet at the time. We were unregistered citizens and the Nova Corp would've pegged us as illegal immigrants." Victoria explained. "But when King Mickey found us, we became official citizens of his home world."
So J'son and Victoria went to Knowhere to refuel and rest, when they found a M'kraan Crystal shard there at the Collector's museum. They stole it without the Collector's noticing, and Taskmaster found them the moment they left. Due to the fact that the ex Nova mercenary had a hideout there at the time.
"Well, this just added to my 'bust the power' plan. If Taskmaster's hideout still there, he have left something that could trace him back over to Empress Death-wish. And where he might've gotten his dark powers." Aiden wondered. "Wouldn't you agree."
"I agree, exposing her for the corrupt ruler she is will be the first step in putting the Shi'ar Empire back in the light." Victoria nodded, but looked kind of conflicted. "But she will retaliate, and it might cause some casualties."
"Not if we're involved in step 2, going to battle with Deathbird." Aiden stated confidently.
Victoria's eyes widened. "No, i-i. I told you i'm never going back there. That empire was my prison, the worst prison anyone could ask for." She protested sounding like a panic.
"Vic you're stronger than they are." Aiden reassured her.
"I'm not strong enough!" Victoria exclaimed. Then she breathed. "I'm sorry. I'll help you on this journey back home and i'll help you expose Deathbird. But i can't go back to the Shi'ar Empire. I just can't."
Aiden held his hands up. "No one is asking you to go back, you don't have to." He said softly. "But as the Maverick, i'm committed to making every world a better place. And i have to go and help make that happen."
Victoria looked down as Aiden put his hands down he was about to continue, but then the terminal started beeping and showed a live image of something weird happening in the Isle of the Astray.
"Maverick. I'm detecting heavy amounts of dark activity bellow us. The Isle is beginning to shift open." IRIS said.
"Already?" Aiden furrowed his brows. He looked at the clock on the wall and it was only in the middle of the afternoon. And Moon wolf told them that the portal to the Isle of the Astray wouldn't open until tonight. Perhaps she was wrong?
What was happening down there?
"Well have to come back to conspiracy plan later. Right now we need to get down there." Victoria said standing up.
"Right, to be continued." Aiden stood up and shifted into his Maverick suit and pressed the intercom on the terminal. "Attention Guardians this is your captain speakin, who else could it be?" He announced in a Tom Cruise impression. " Could you all "Would you all kindly meet me on the bridge for a good old mission report?"
On the Bridge….
Once everyone came the bridge they all saw what was happening outside the window of the ship. The ship tilted down so they could get a good view of what was happening bellow.
The fog that was down in the middle of the ocean earlier, was now spinning and twirling into a strong visible wind, until it became a large water spout. Inside the center of the water spout was a large ray of white light. That shined like a wishing star, but they could see an opening from above of the light, that you could enter from the top of the water spout.
"What gives! Aren't we a little too early for Operation 'Rescue Fly-boy'?" Darkwing crossing his arms while tapping his foot.
"I didn't reset the schedule Duck Knight! Whatever's down there is causing the Isle to accelerate. It open early for us." Maverick said back.
"What do you purpose we do Maverick?" Zambron asked.
"The plan hasn't changed." Maverick said snapping his finger, causing the neon shields to cover everyone in the room except for he and Blaze. "We go down there, find Pan and get out. It's the only way we're ever going to get the third shard."
"More like the fifth if you count the first two J'son and i found." Blaze added.
"Oh yeah speaking of you." Maverick said before he turned and waved his hand over her. Causing a form of red wavy hair to form on top of her armored head.
"Woah! What did you do to my head?!" Blazed yelled feeling the top of her head.
"It's what i did 'for' your head." Maverick answered. " That's more than just a hairstyle that could bankrupt Kimberly Kimble, It's also grants you a new ability. With those hair threads you'll not only be protected from any power based attacks for a short period, but you will also be able to absorb the magic or anergy from said attacks. Your suit will project a meter to let you know when you've absorb a full amount of enemy once you do, you tell the suit to backfire. And shoot it back at them. "
"And what if i suit overcharges and kills me?" Blaze asked sarcastically. But Maverick thought she looked cute, or dare say 'hot'.
"It won't, think of it as a phone charger, once it's full it won't absorb anymore. Like a battery." Maverick emphasized. Then handed her a mirror. "Besides, your are burning hot."
She looked in the mirror and saw how good her hair looked. The red crimson neon hair matches the red color patterns of her armored suit from, and it blends well with her purple metallic face. She had to admit, the Maverick has a good sense of style.
"You know what sucks about you sometimes Mav?" Blaze asked in annoyance.
"Enlighten me." Maverick smirked.
"Your good at everything." Blaze deadpanned with sassy tone as she turned with a flick of her hair and strolled down stairs.
"I am Groot." Groot smiled at Maverick.
"Oh yeah, i got her sold." Maverick agreed crossing his arms.
"Sold? Why would you sell a fine young maiden like her?" Zambron asked sound disbelieving. He took him literally again.
"No it means she likes me." Maverick explained.
"No, she doesn't like you Maverick." Zambron disagrees with a smile. "She loves you."
"I….can see where this is going i'm going to wait down stairs." Darkwing said feeling awkward as he ran down the steps.
"Zam she's not… I really don't need to go that far yet, it's just a simple youthful crush, not a…." Maverick sighed trying to find the right words. But Zambron's light chuckle made him lose whatever words that could come out of his mouth.
"My friend. Everyone needs somebody." Zambron said placing a hand on Maverick's shoulder. "Standing with others makes you stronger. There is much you can gain by having someone like Victoria, at your side."
Maverick cleared his throat, with a simple nod. Still not knowing what to say, because he knew that the minotaur was right.
"She has all of the best qualities for someone like you, who is pathetic, narcissistic and proud. And your qualities will make her stronger as well." Zambron expressed honorably, as if there was nothing wrong in what he said.
Maverick's eyes wandered a little, not completely sure if he could take some of those insulting words as a complement, but he did anyway.
"Thanks. I'm not sure i got all of that, but thinks." Maverick said awkwardly.
"Do you need a hug?" Zambron asked.
"No. No i do not." Maverick answered but he was about to give him one anyway. "Wait!"
Zambron wrapped his big arms around him and was literally crushing him.
"I said no hugs. Boundaries man." Maverick wheezed.
"I am Groot." Groot teased with a chuckled from behind Zambron, while looking at Maverick who was looking like he was suffocating, with his eye lights blinking.
While Zambron was still hugging him, Maverick gave Groot a middle finger for the teasing comment he just made. Once Zambron let him go, Maverick inhaled a lot of air as he could finally breathe.
"Now that we've, as you would say. Clear the air?" Zambron stated.
"Oh yeah." Maverick said on his knees while breathing. "You cleared the air alright."
"Good, now let us go and complete are task here. By rescuing the Peanut Butter Clown." Zambron said as he went down the steps.
"Right. Behind you." Maverick painted. Then he bent upward allowing his spine to pop a few joints. "Oh! He almost broke the old jazz dancing tree." He whimpered.
"I am Groot." Groot deadpanned with an amused look.
"Your right, bad choice of words." Maverick said while moving his shoulder. As they both went down the steps.
The Isle Of The Astray…..
The team stood at the exit of the ship, looking down at the portal in the whirling twister down below. The good news is this would be a simple jump inside for the Guardians. The bad news is, the twister was pretty loud outside.
"You sure about this?!" Darkwing yelled.
Again, it was very loud outside.
"What?!" Maverick yelled.
"I said! Are you sure about-" Darkwing Duck tried to repeated.
But no one could hear each other.
"WHAT?!" Blaze asked.
"WHAT?!" Darkwing yelled back.
No matter how loud they could yell.
"WHAT?!" Maverick yelled.
"WHAT?!" Blaze yelled.
"WHAT?!" Zambron yelled.
"I AM GROOT?!" Groot yelled.
And Repeat.
"WHAT?!" Maverick yelled.
"WHAT?!" Blaze yelled.
"WHAT?!" Darkwing yelled.
"WHAT?!" Zambron yelled.
"I AM GROOT?!" Groot yelled.
And repeat.
"WHAT?!" Maverick yelled.
"WHAT?!" Blaze yelled.
"WHAT?!" Darkwing yelled.
"WHAT?!" Zambron yelled.
"I AM GROOT?!" Groot yelled.
And repeat.
"WHAT?!" Maverick yelled.
"WHAT?!" Blaze yelled.
"WHAT?!" Darkwing yelled.
"WHAT?!" Zambron yelled.
"I AM GROOT?!" Groot yelled.
"WHAT?!" Maverick yelled.
"WHAT?!" Blaze yelled.
"WHAT?!" Darkwing yelled.
"WHAT?!" Zambron yelled.
"I AM GROOT?!" Groot yelled.
And… They thought they heard yes.
"OKAY!" Everyone said. Then they jumped in.
"I! AM GROOT!" Groot yelled and he formed a ball. Translate: "CANON BALL!"
"YEEEEES!" Zambron laughed and screamed as he fell. He was enjoying it, it felt like a them park ride to him.
As they kept free falling down into the portal, and it was a long fall. They got sucked into the water spout and went into the portal. And just like that, they vanished into a flash of light.
Where ever they were going, it was not a normal place to be in.
Back in Corona…
Elsa, J'son and everyone else were still fighting the Unversed out in the courtyard of the castle.
Mickey jumped and slashed at the spawns like a little Yoda, if he were a mouse.
"THEY JUST KEEP COMING!" Cassandra yelled as she killed a few more Lone Runners with her sword.
"WHAT CAN WE DO?!" Rapunzel threw her spinning neon frying pan at a Belly Balloon in the head taking it down.
"WE GOT TO TAKE OUT THE LEADER!" Donald yelled after shooting fire at a few Blue Sea Salt Spawns.
"WHAT?!" Some of them asked, because they couldn't understand what he was saying.
"HE SAID WE GOTTA TAKE OUT THEIR LEADER!" Goofy answered for them.
"Okay yeah that sounds perfect! WHICH ON IS THE LEADER?! THE MINI MAN BATS?!" Eugene yelled as he fired his lazer cannon and shot down a few Axe Flappers.
"Just keep fighting! The Leader will appear soon, i can feel it!" Mickey said as he stood and fired a lighting spell at many of the spawned Scrappers. Then he called for help. "J'son! Elsa! We need your help in the courtyard!"
Earlier Elsa and J'son remained in the castle's main hall to draw all of the Unversed away from the rest of the castle residence. '
Anna and Kristoff were there swinging their hatchets at the spawn Floods. Kristoff gave his wife a pair and it worked. Aiden had given his Aunt a few pointers about fighting opponents in the past.
When Elsa and J'son heard from the King from Elsa's bracelet. They both responded.
"We loved to go to Recess Your majesty, but these dark creeps won't end class already!" J'son yelled as he used his jet boots to fly around and shot a bunch down.
As they cleared a bunch out. More Unversed Floods were coming down from the left hallway. Elsa grew frustrated and exclaimed. "THAT'S IT! THE GLOVES ARE OFF!"
Then the Queen opened up a holographic menu on her bracelet and selected the song menu. Music could often play from her the jewels on her bracelet, like they were loud mini speakers.
"Uh….Queen? What are you doing?" J'son looked at her weirdly as he landed next to her.
"My son's habit of playing music in tense moments is starting to rub off on me." Elsa answered as she select a song. "Alright. Follow me, it's time for these bozo's to chill."
"She sure talks like Aiden." Kristoff whispered in Anna's ear, earning a giggle.
"And I thought queens in this era are into croquet and tea time." J'son commented.
"Meaning?" Elsa inquired. Her stare made him swallow his words.
"I would answer, but i'm pretty sure you'll freeze my intestines out for saying it." J'son cleared his throat and said something else instead. "The Pests are coming for seconds. Let's clear them out."
"Yeah, let's." Elsa grinned ahead as the music started.
(Come A Little Bit Closer - Jay And The Americans)
As the Unversed were getting closer, Elsa formed two floating snowballs in her hand, and hardened them into ice. She held her hands out causing them to float in the air. The Queen dropped her arms and stood firm, facing the hallway.
In a little cafe
Just the other side of the border
She was just sitting there givin' me looks
That made my mouth water
She glared hard at the Unversed and with a thought, she sent the snowballs flying fast through a multitude of the spawns.
So I started walking her way
She belonged to bad man Jose
And I knew, yes I knew I should leave
When I heard her say, yeah
J'son looked amazed by the Snow Queen's stunning and still form of attack, that he stood next to her with his guns in his hands. Anna and Kristoff stood behind them, as the Princess smirked at the two standing together. Then they all walked forward, calmly as Elsa obliterated so many of the Unversed in the halls.
Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer
I'm all alone and the night is so long
Once the first row of the hall was cleared, they cut left at the second exit that lead to the courtyard. As they kept walking forward, the snowballs barely shattered as they kept bringing down the Unversed, those creature's kept falling and vanishing before the wrath of the Snow Queen. J'son looked over at her, with a look that said 'Your Beautiful'. He didn't say it, but he felt it.
So we started to dance
In my arms, she felt so inviting
And I just couldn't resist
Just one little kiss, so exciting
Then I heard the guitar player say
"Vamos, Jose's on his way"
Then I knew, yes I knew I should run
But then I heard her say, yeah
Elsa smiled at him but kept her focus on walking taking out the Unversed as her snowballs cleared the hallway. Anna felt giddy watching them look at each other like that.
Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer
I'm all alone and the night is so long
As the Music kept playing they kept walking and Elsa's snowballs cleared out every Unversed inside the final section of the halls. Allowing them to exit and see what was happening outside the courtyard.
Just then a large Unversed boss class, appeared in the middle of the courtyard and smashed the fountain. This one bear the resemblance of an Elephant, but purple with red sinister eyes, and a cannon on his trunk. This one was called a Dark Heffalump.
Then the music stopped
When I looked the cafe was empty
Then I heard Jose say
Man, you know you're in trouble plenty
While everyone else was fighting the other Unversed spawns, Tigger was the only one that noticed the boss that resemble their mythological creature from the Hundred Acre Woods.
"IT'S A HEFFALUMP!" Tigger gasped as he bounced on a few. Then he narrowed his eyes. "Have no fear Fella's! Tigger is here to bounce away your troubles!"
So I dropped my drink from my hand
And out through the window I ran
And as I rode away
I could hear her say to Jose, yeah
As Tigger bounces fast over to the Unversed Heffalump. J'son used his jet boots to fly above and shoot at it from above to distract the dark creature, and Elsa Skated around the creature and froze the Heffalump where it stood.
Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer
I'm all alone and the night is so long
Once the the creature was frozen solid. Tigger Then bounced real hide, and landed hard on the frozen creature, breaking and shattering the Dark Unversed Heffalump into pieces.
Once the boss was slain. All of the Unversed froze and vanished. Leaving everyone that was fighting exhausted. All except for Mickey. Who stood at looked at the book, to see that it was returning to normal. He smiled at this.
"Good job everyone! The Unversed corruption is gone, and the Hundred acre Woods is back to normal!" Mickey announced to everybody.
Donald and Goofy cheered and so did Rapunzel and Anna. Tigger was bouncing around in joy. "YAHOO!"
"Yay." Eugene moaned while forcing a smile. Then he past out on the ground from exhaustion.
"For once, i'm with him." Cassandra mumbled and past out as well.
It was hard, but they all did good. They could only hope that Aiden and his team was having it easy on the other side of the multiverse. Well…. Not really.
Inside the Isle of the Astray…
Maverick woke up in an area, surrounded by nothing but pure illuminating white. But that's not what worried him. He turned to see that his team was gone.
"Hello?!" Maverick called out. "Groot?! Darkwing?! Zam?! Vic?! Anyone?!"
No answer. He started walking forward, getting nowhere but more endless white nothing. He kept walking for a while and kept calling, with nobody responding. Where could they be.
"This better not be like in one of those pretentious movies where the protagonist needs to open up his mind in order to press on." Maverick mumbled. "Cause what's in my mind is not a normal place to be."
Two hours later….
Maverick felt like he's been walking to nowhere for hours. He was starting to get tired of walking and looking.
"Zam. Vic. Darkwing. Groot." Maverick slurred as he stumbled on his feet a little trying hard to keep his eyes open. He was getting tired. "Vic, Bic, Vicky Vicky Icky Vicky Sam, Broot, Dark Meat, Gloria."
Then he started calling names that kept running across his head.
"Vicky Timmy, Wanda. Burt. Kelly. Mack, Katy. Luke." Maverick mumbled tiredly.
He began to lose balance, and feeling very fatigue. That Maverick yelled the last thing that popped into his mind.
"Hear that Elizabeth?! I'M COMING TO JOIN YA HONEY!" Maverick blurred out. Then he collapse on the ground.
Maverick shot up awake yelling "ROSEBUD!" from the ground.
He moaned as he looked around, noticing that his surroundings changes from white nothing the Valley of the Trolls. The place where his Uncle Kristoff grew up. Only this time it looked like a mix up it and the small town of the Munchkins from The Wizard Of Oz film.
"What the?" Maverick muttered in confusion.
Just then, a bunch of Trolls dressed up as the Munchkins popped up in front of him and started singing and dancing.
"WE! WELCOME YOU! TO, TROLL DOLL LAND! LALALALALA!" They sang.
Maverick blinked and threw his hands up in annoyance.
"Oh what the flying ***k is this?! Some kind of dream sequence where i'm in a bunch of old movies, themed after the places i i've been?" Maverick face palmed himself, after realizing that his question is an answer in and of itself. "I had to say movies earlier."
One of the Munchkin trolls dance up to him with a huge smile. "So your a bid of a fixer upper!"
Maverick smirked. "Your right, let me fix you up." He said before taking a gun out of his pocket and shooting him in the head.
They all screamed and ran in terror from him. "AHH!" They ran for their lives. But Maverick still sat there.
"Oh come on! This is my dream sequence, you should love being shot." Maverick complained.
He never gets to do that in real then he noticed something huge was casting a shadow over him.
"Huh?" He looked up. To see a house falling right above him.
"NOOOOO! I HATE HOUSES!" Maverick screamed and covered himself before the house hit.
Then he woke up and noticed his surroundings changed again. Only this time, he was seated in a movie theater with a giant screen. While wrapped and strapped up in a straitjacket and his eyes taped oven (Or at least animated to looked taped open due to his mask eye's being nothing but lights. So you could say the tape was made up of lights into the mask.)
Like in A Clockwork Orange.
He grunted as he tried to get loose and break out of the straitjacket. "Ugh! Hey. Hey! What's going on here? I should shred this sweater! I like mine Blue or Green!" Maverick quipped as he struggled to get out to no avail. He gave up and said. "I hope Mom never finds out i watched this movie one time with Hayner. Wait? She doesn't know about this film. It doesn't exist in her world. Duh!"
Just then the screen turned on, showing a large, delicious homemade cheeseburger. Held in the hands of someone's white cartoon gloves. It was so delicately made, Maverick smiled as his mouth would water if he had a mouth.
"Hey, baby. That's what i'm talking about." Maverick said sounding like he was flirting. "What's your phone number-"
He stopped when the white gloved hand started to smash and mess up the burger. Much to Maverick's horror as sad piano music played in the background. His eyes widened but he couldn't close them due to being taped open.
"NO! Uh no! It's a sin!" Maverick cried and bellowed. "IT'S A SIN!"
His voice echoed the empty theater as he watched the glove hands tear and shred the burger to pieces, leaving the sticky greasy meat and cheese in it's fingers.
"THE BURGER NEVER HURT ANYONE! It was so innocent and delicious!" Maverick pleaded and sobbed. "Please stop it! STOP IT I BEG YOU! NOOO!"
His voice broke as he sobbed, it was more of a humorous sound than anything else. Then the scene on the screen change to Maverick standing in the Olympus Coliseum.
Maverick found himself standing there for real, instead of him trapped in a movie theater. Then he heard a voice behind him. "Hades sent the Caucasian Eagle once to try to test me."
"Whop, there's a creep in the room." Maverick quipped and turned to see Zambron standing there, locked in a cage. "Oh, it's just you Zam."
"I ate it's liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti." Zambron said as he hissed and licked with his own lips.
"Woah that's sounds pretty good." Maverick said rubbing his stomach. "I'll have to write that down. Did you ever try spleen with-"
"Macaroni and cheese?!" They both say in agreement and laugh.
"HOLY CRAP IT'S SO GOOD!" Maverick laughed hard until his looked down at his hands, to notice he was wearing boxing gloves. And he noticed Groot was standing behind him, also wearing boxing gloves.
"Huh?" Maverick inquired. Groot looked down at him and narrowed his eyes.
"I am Groot." Groot said in a Russian accent. Translate: " I must break you."
Maverick yelped in fear. "Oh dear God why?" He muttered quickly.
Groot punched him hard, knocking the daylights out of him. Causing Maverick blacked out again.
Then he woke. As Aiden. On the beach of Destiny Island. Laying on the sand, on top of a beach blanket and under a blue ice umbrella.
"Oh why dream world?! I liked the suit!" Aiden whined and crossed his arms. He looked down realizing he was wearing only a turquoise colored swim trunks. And a pair of shades over his eyes. Like what he has for his keyblader suit.
"Not as much as you'll like this." A hot sounding voice said next to him.
He turned to see what made his eyes widen to the size of dinner plates and his pale voice turn red. Victoria laying next to him, smiling while wearing a magenta colored bikini.
She looked real hot for a pre-teen.
"Uh…." Was all that could come out of Aiden's mouth. "What's hap- mph!"
The boy was cut off by Victoria kissing him on the lips. His eye's closed as he kissed her back and touched her cheek while doing so. The girl's lips felt real, it felt good. Soon she pulled away and spoke softly.
"You look tense. Come on Handsome, let me fix those cold muscles of hers with a little fire." Victoria crawled behind him as Aiden sat up.
"I...don't like how that sounds, actually that's a lie i do. But isn't this happening a little to fast for u- Oh… Child where did you get those gorgeous mitts?" Aiden sighed and smiled, the only responds he got was a giggle from her.
Aiden lost his words and relaxed when Victoria's warm hands rubbed and massaged his shoulders. Her hands were soft, so soft that it made his mind go at ease when she press hard into his shoulder blades with her fingers . He closed his eyes. Hoping this dream would last. At this moment Aiden forgot about everything. Everything that he was anxious about and anything that make him both conflicted or sad earlier. He felt nothing but pure blissful peace.
Nothing could pull him out of this moment.
"Come on, Sora! I thought you were stronger than that!" Someone taunted.
Aiden opened his eyes to see two boys his age, play-fighting near the shore of the beach. The older one with the long silver hair was the one who was acting superior. While the other boy with the spiky brown hair responded.
"Get real Riku! Look at which one of us is winning!" the boy named Sora talked back.
They both resumed fighting with their toy swords, while Aiden was watching.
"Heh. What are those two morons doing in my dream sequence?" Aiden asked while turning over to look at Victoria.
Only to see that she's gone. "Oh come on?!" Aiden exclaimed in disappointment.
"Don't worry. She's still there in the real world." A cheerful voice chirped in front of him.
He looked and jumped to see a yellow color woman with blue short hair and in a lime colored summer dress. Standing in front of his limelights.
"Hi. I'm Joy!" The girl introduced herself happily.
"When it Marge Simpson join an emo club?" Aiden said looking at Joy weirdly. She laughed hard at his joke making him flinch again.
"HAHAHAHAHA! Oh that's a good one!" Joy inhaled dramatically and humorously after laughing at how funny Aiden could be in person and spoke calmly. "No. I'm an emotion from inside your head."
"So… this is more than just a dream sequence? This is straight up Inception?" Aiden asked while standing up from the blanket.
"More, like your inside your head. Magically that is." Joy said meekly.
"Yeah, that's what i said. What am i doing here?" Aiden asked her.
"Well, Aiden. Uh…." Joy bit her lip and smack her lips. "You know what? This will make a lot more since once you wake up again in a few seconds."
"Wha-?" Before Aiden could say, Joy snapped her fingers causing Aiden to black out again.
Aiden woke up yet again in another weird place. He was back to wearing his keyblader's outfit and he was seated in a chair with a weird device strapped to his cranial.
"What in the acid trip is happening to me?" Aiden crooned as his eye's cleared.
He looked around to see that he was in a large room with different colored orbs everywhere. Most of them where in this contraption that looked like a cool looking ball machine. And there was a giant computer screen built on the wall in front. Aiden saw Joy standing there with four other people. One green looking woman with attitude. A purple man who looked paranoid. A short blue woman with glasses who looked depressed. And a short red man who looked pissed.
"Oh. He looks confused." The blue woman sighed.
"Who wouldn't be Sadness. The kid was going through more crap than a long line to the bathroom!" The red guy ranted.
"Anger? Get over it. Fear? could you help him get that stupid helmet off?" The green woman asked the purple guy named Fear.
"Not a problem Disgust." Fear said walking over to Aiden. He unstrap and took the device off of Aiden's head.
Allowing the boy to stand up and looked around looked. "I don't know if i'm going to get an answer for asking this, cause all i keep getting is more dream sequences. But where am i now? And why was i wearing that?" Aiden pointed at the helmet.
"Fear, stop pressing the controls! Your freaking him out!" Anger yelled at Fear who was over at the computer screen.
"Oh, sorry." Fear chuckled nervously, as he let go of the controls. Then Aiden stopped freaking out for some reason.
"Aiden? our best friend and responsibility!" Joy announced getting his attention, she flew her arms out and said joyfully. "Welcome to headquarters! More specifically, the center of your mind!"
"If someone's going to play the Jurassic Park Theme, now would be a good time." Anger rolled his eyes in sarcasm.
That's all for now folks!
No need to thank me or putting The characters of Inside Out in this story. Only their in Aide's head instead of Riley's head. I mean they are emotions that are living inside someone's head and telling that person what to do or what to feel after all.
"So i'm schizophrenic and bipolar now?! Oh my God!" Aiden panicked.
"FEAR! I TOLD YOU TO STAY OFF THE CONTROLS!" Anger yelled in the backgrounds.
Anyway... I gave Elsa an action sequence so she wouldn't be left out of any fight scenes. And it was even inspired by that cool Yondu escape scene from TGOTG Vol 2, but instead of an arrow i used snowballs for Elsa. Pretty cool don't you think?
And Aiden's dream sequence was inspired by that funny video on Youtube called 'Marvel Super Heroes: What The-?! DEADPOOL - For Your Consideration'.
Also. The Next chapter will be the last chapter in Neverland, after Aiden is done with the Inside Out bit. But don't worry that part is short. Just not too short
Once the Maverick is finish with Neverland, he and his team will head out to another world.
And i'll give you a hint of what that next world is. It's a world that knows how to 'Try Everything'.
Plus i thought it was neat for me to put in a cameo of Sora and Riku in Aiden's fantasy.
Oh yeah. And Victoria's Blaze Suit has hair now. With an extra ability.
But what what is Aiden doing inside his head? Where's the team? Will they be able to find Peter Pan soon? And what will they do with the info they found on Taskmaster?
Find out in the next chapter!
