New Exiles Ch 4
The portal opened and the new exiles were deposited once more into a whole new universe.
"What's our mission now?"
"We're to stop someone called the wanderer from destroying the city"
"Anyone heard of him?"
"Nope"
"Nada"
"Zilch"
"Zero"
"Well that's a whole lot to go on," sigh "let's go see what we can do, I hate going in blind."
They quickly followed a path of destruction, cars, buildings and streets were torn apart. The path of destruction led to one man his trench coat flapping in the wind, he slowly raised his hand and another building came crumbling down.
"Stop right there!"
"Who're you to tell me what to do?"
"We're the new exiles and we'll stop you if we have to!"
"Well, well, the old exiles must be dead if there's an entirely new group, so you know I've never done anything they said without a fight either."
"We won't let you destroy this city."
"Ah, not that you can stop me, but I'm trying to save this planet."
"Your nuts get him!"
The earth rumbled as rehulk and super doomsday charged straight at Wanderer, he side stepped Rehulk and snapped his fingers at Super doomsday. The sound hit Super Doomsday and sent him flying high up into the air, "heavy sound I bet you've never seen anything like it." spinning wanderer fired a bolt of lightning into Rehulk's knees burning them off.
"C'mon now you've got to be tougher then this to be exiles." Wanderer stepped forward into iron man as he charged. "I learned this trick from Neo." Wanderer reached into iron mans armor and pressed a few places on it. "You should be able to turn your armor back on before your back up air runs out."
Wild Things psychic claws tear into his head, she spins and kicks his feet out from under him, he twists in mid air and lets out a blast from his eyes sending her flying backwards.
"C'mon now you've got to do better then this." Portal fired his gun at Wanderer, the blast was returned back at him with a simple wave of wanderer's hand. Phermone lashed him across the back slicing through his coat and drawing blood from his back. "Damn it do you know how hard it is to fix this thing?!" he reached out and grasped the tendrils which quickly begin to change into acid. He grit his teeth "that hurts" wanderer side steps Super Doomsday and thrusts his hand out turning him back into cliff Kent. "Stay out of this, both of you" he points at rehulk and changes him back to banner. "Honestly now, how long have you even been a team? You fight like individuals and you'll never win that way."
The symbiote suddenly flooded all over Wanderer it attached itself to him and began cramming information into the link. It spoke of everything they'd done as exiles, "I see your just trying to get home, just like I am, I get it alright now get off or I'll hit you with enough solid sound to kill you."
The symbiote peeled back and reattached itself to MJ, "well now, I guess we should talk then."
"Who the hell are you really?"
"I'm the wanderer, I'm just a normal guy stuck going from universe to universe just like you all, although I wind up spending a much, much longer amount of time. Sometimes months sometimes years sometimes decades or more, I know I only look 20 but honestly I'm in my 1000's now, sometimes I get a new body when I shift out of a universe. I might have a little kid's body or a grown man's I never know till I get there. You seriously need to upgrade your teamwork as well, otherwise you won't last long doing this kind of thing."
"Where did you learn all that stuff?"
"Here and there one universe or another, I've been bouncing around so long that I've learned a lot. In fact I was holding way back in our fight, especially since I can use the entire list of my powers in this universe."
"So then why didn't you?"
"Why didn't I beat the crap out of you?"
"Yeah"
"Simple you think you're the good guys and honestly I'd flipped a coin to decide how I was going to do what needs to be done here. So I figure the coin didn't land the way it was supposed to."
"So why beat on us at all?!"
"To stay in practice of course."
"Of course"
"So what was the other thing?"
"Oh the other side of the coin? Beat the crap out of Galactus when he gets here, no big."
"Is that all? Wait what?!"
"Yeah apparently this city is putting out some kind of super power that's drawing Galactus here like a moth to a flame. Since I'm not supposed to take out the city I've got to stop Galactus when he gets here. "
"Can you do that?"
"Dunno I've never tried"
"We're all gonna die."
"Maybe, maybe not."
"Please tell me someone has a damn plan."
"Besides me taking on a pissed off space god?"
"Yes."
"Nope"
"Fuck"
Time seemed to slowly tick by and portal begins bitching more and more till finally Galactus arrived. The quaking sent people running first followed by Galactus landing.
"Well time to get big wish me luck." he slowly moved his arms and legs while whispering a few words before he began to grow very quickly and stopping at the same size as Galactus.
"Hey big man," Wanderer smashes Galactus with a huge right hand to the jaw "get off this planet!"
Galactus came back with a quick series of punches followed by a knee to the stomach and finishing it all up with an elbow to Wanderer's head that flattened him to the floor, crushing cars and a few innocent people beneath him.
"Ok that hurt" wanderer shook his head and stood back up "didn't think you'd know how to fist fight." wanderer popped his neck and shrugged his shoulders some as his hair began to stand straight up and down. He throws his arm out hand extended flat towards Galactus and fires a blast that melts the armor from his skin "now let's take this outside."
Wanderer reaches out and grabs Galactus the two disappear then reappear on the moon. Galactus cuts loose with 2 huge beams from his eyes, the blast burns away wanderer's coat, shirt and top layer of skin.
"That really fucking hurts! And do you know how hard it is to replace this damn coat!" wanderer grabs Galactus and smashes there skulls together. Galactus wobbled and collapsed onto the floor while wanderer just shook his head. "Well off you go" wanderer touched Galactus and he disappeared. Wanderer himself teleported back to where the new exiles were gathered, he slide down a wall and said, "Well that takes care of that."
"I don't fucking believe it."
"How the hell do you have that much power?"
"Too much time too many dimensions and always something new to learn or try. Before I fade out to my next world don't try to stop me if I seem evil there appears to be 2 of us and he'll kill you for no reason at all, if your lucky." suddenly he distorted changed and came apart spherical blue lightning filled the area he'd just been in and then it was gone.
"Ok what was all this about? We barely did anything."
"Well we're not done yet!" Phermone pointed up at the moon, which was coming apart the stress of the beams and pressure of the head but had cause pieces to crack off.
"We've got a week and we've got to make sure none of that big debris hit's earth."
"Stuck with nothing but clean up this sucks."
