I know that this is a very late update and I do apologize for it but I thought that no one liked my fic. But since I got a review you all get your update.
CHAPTER 4: THE RESCUE
AND BEFORE YOU READ THIS KNOW THAT THIS CHAPTER SUCKS
Rouge stepped forward, "You mean that guy with the whip? He's being interrogated about Toad. You could save him a lot of pain if you just hand him over."
"Your hurting poor Emishi-kun?" asked Ginji turning chibi and looking worried
"Ginji, lookout!" yelled Juubie
"Ahh" Ginji dodged a fire ball that zoomed over his head singeing the tips of his hair
"Are you gonna keep talking, leave, or get your butts barbequed?" asked Pyro as a fireball appeared in his hand above his lighter
"How about none of the above?" shouted Juubie as he threw his needles at Pyro who ducked and shot a fire ball
Iceman was about to help Pyro and Rouge when a bolt of electricity hit the ground in front of him. He turned to see the glowing man, "Hey, what about me?"
"The only way in is a second floor window on the south side." Said Kazuki, "Ready?"
"Yes, I'm ready." MacubeX said. He was then sling-shot into the open window.
Kazuki panicked when MacubeX yelled, "Help Kazuki!"
Kazuki landed on the window sill, bells at the ready. MacubeX was being cornered by a blue man with a tail and three fingers. "Sir, I must ask you to stay back or you will be very sorry."
The man turned to see who was talking to him. He gasped along with Kazuki, "Master Kazuki?"
"Kurt? What are you doing here?"
"I work as an X-man since they saved me. I am sorry I disappeared all those years ago but I joined the circus and had no time to say goodbye." Kurt looked down at the boy, "Did you call this boy MacubeX? As in the Third King MacubeX? I am sorry that I scared you. So you are here for the prisoner right? Who is it?"
"Emishi."
"Well, even though I owe these people my life, I owe you my life as well. I also miss Emishi a lot, so, I'm going to help you. Where do you need to go?" asked Kurt as he helped MacubeX to his feet
"We need to see Professor Xavier, it's about Mortimer Toynbee. You know him as Toad. He is, like you, an adopted member of Emishi's clan. Can you help us?" asked MacubeX
"Yes, hold on to me." Replied Kurt
"You go, I'll stay behind as the distraction." Said Kazuki as he ran out of the room.
Kazuki stopped in the middle of a hallway. He had silently run down each hallway. This one's rooms were filled with people. Kazuki attached strings to each doorknob and yelled, "Gotcha." As he yanked all the doors open. Inside each room were children huddled in the middle of the floor. Some older one's stood in front of the younger children to shield them from harm.
One made entirely of metal ran out into the hallway and asked, "Who are you and what do you want?"
"I am the soul heir of the Thread School, Thread Master Kazuki. I have come for the Fresh Blood Joker, Emishi Haruki. Surrender him and I will leave peacefully." Kazuki said in a calm but threatening voice
"I don't wish to fight you bit if I must I will." Said the metal man, "And so will he."
Kazuki turned to see a man in sunglasses staring angrily at him, "You will not have to fight me, for you can't move anymore."
"He's right Cyclops. I can't move." Said the metal man
"I can't either Colossus. What did you do to us?" asked Cyclops
"I simply put you in thread restraints. Now, to all the children, please listen to me. I don't wish to shed blood of any kind, I only want my friend back. I hope for your sakes that no one will be foolish to try anything. I only wish to sit here and wait for the signal from my friends." And with that Kazuki sat down against the wall and closed his eyes as if to sleep
"The blueprints said the elevator to the lower levels is right here." Mort pushed a button and an elevator appeared
"You ready Mort?" asked Shido
"Yeah, let's got." Mort said as he stepped into the elevator
Emishi sat quietly on his prison bed. His thoughts were interrupted when Storm said, "I have to know something."
"Whatever your heart desires." Replied Emishi with a suggestive smirk
"How is it that my lightning does not affect you?" Storm asked
"I used to work for the gang known as the Voltz. Our leader was the Lightning Emperor. He would constantly loose his head and sometimes attack his own teammates. We had to get used to it quick. But my favorite Voltz member was Shido." Said Emishi remenisant
"Are you talking about me behind my back Emishi?" asked Shido from the end of the hallway where he had suddenly appeared
Mort stood next to Shido. Mort stepped forward and said, "Let my best mate go or you'll regret it you weather bitch."
Wolverine stepped forward, "You'll have to get threw me first Toad. I owe you for traumatizing Rouge."
"The name is Mortimer, and I didn't want to hurt her. You have no idea what Mag's is capable of doing. By staying with her I saved her from him and from Sabertooth. He would have taken advantage of her in every way." Mort said all this with a hint of remorse and a look of longing for forgiveness on his face, "But I'm not here to talk about that. I'm here to get my mate back. Why did you take him anyway?" asked Mort in a determined voice
"We took him to get to you. You're a wanted man. We wanted to bring you in once we found out you were still alive so you wouldn't continue to murder innocent people." Said Wolverine
Shido stepped in front of Mort and spoke in a voice that sounded more like a growl, "You'll take him over my dead body."
"So be it." Wolverine yelled as he lunged at Shido
They collided in mid air and then jumped back. Shido didn't have a scratch on him. Wolverine was healing a cut on his face.
Mortimer jumped over Storms head and opened Emishi's cell door. He ran in, closing the door behind him, "Why did you do that?" asked Emishi. But he could say no more as Mort grabbed him around his chest in a hug and collapsed into sobs.
"I'm so sorry. I did terrible things. I killed so many innocent people. I made terrible machines, deadly weapons, and so many poisons. Please forgive me Emishi. I broke my promise. I became a killer. I had to, please forgive me." Mortimer gasped out between sobs. He suddenly gasped in surprise.
Emishi was returning the hug and whispering softly to him, "It's ok, I know everything. I forgive you. I'm just glade your alive after all you've been threw. I promise, from now on I'll keep you safe."
"NO!"
"What?"
Mort pushed away, "No. You won't protect me anymore. That's how you got here. From now on, I'll keep everyone else safe instead." Mort turned and faced Storm as he opened the door, "And I'll start with her." He stopped as Emishi's hand grabbed his shoulder
"No, leave her alone Mort. Revenge is an awful thing to seek. Besides, I think we're ok now." Emishi said smiling down at Mort and then looking back to Storm, "Isn't that right?"
"Yes." Said Storm, "I have just herd from Professor Xavier that you are all to go free and without a fight. I don't know why but you may leave unharmed."
HONKEY TONK CAFÉ, THE NEXT DAY
"So you guys did all that just to get me back? I feel so loved." Said Emishi with tears in his eyes
"Hey, I couldn't let my best mate be captured because of me." Said Mort hanging off Emishi's shoulders
"Madoka says she'll let us throw a welcome back party for Mort tonight at her house. So don't be late." Said Shido
WELL MY FRIENDS AND READERS WE ARE AT THE END OF OUR TALE. BUT BECAUSE I FEEL THAT THIS STORY WILL RUIN MY REP FOR FUN STORIES I WILL INCLUDE THIS CRAZY EPOLOGE THAT I WILL MAKE UP RIGHT ON THE SPOT SO ENJOY THE RANDOM GOODNESS.
(For all those yaoi fans hold onto your seats. This pairing is way out there and not too popular anywhere to my knowledge. If you don't know who Gambit is you should look him up on Wikepedia. If you do know who he is hold on tight)
The party was under way and hitting its stride. People were laughing, drinking, eating, drinking, telling stories, and drinking. So naturally much confusion broke out when Madoka came in and asked, "Is anyone familiar with a man named Gambit?"
"Oh, he's here!" Mort ran out of the room with a smile on his face. He came back with a man wearing a trench coat, boots, and sunglasses. He was also shuffling a deck of cards in his hands, "Come on Remi-chan, and take the glasses off. They won't chase you away." Mort begged as he hung off the mans arm
(Mort had changed a lot and has started to have an Emishi like attitude and become his old self. He now acts like he did when he an Emishi were friends.)
"Fine, but only because you were the one who asked me." The man removed his glasses to reveal black eyes with red pupils. He turned to Mort and asked, "So, how do you want to do this?"
"I'll do it." Said Mort, "Hey, can I have everyone's attention please? Thank you for accepting me back, even after what I did. I hope, that after I tell you this, you still will. So…um…I am…how to put this…Remy is my…I mean he and I…that is."
"Oh forget this." Said Remy. He grabbed Mort and gave him a passionate kill while holding him close tightly.
When Mort was released he said in a dazed and disoriented voice, "This is my boyfriend."
The entire room was silent until Emishi said, "Well, why did the party stop? Mort's still him, he's just gay. Let's get this party back on track."
1 HOUR LATER
Emishi was busy asking Gambit if he would want to work for MacubeX when Madoka's dog dragged him away and over to her side.
"What's up Madoka-han? Is something wrong?"
"I'm not sure really. There is a girl in the den who said she came all the way from New York to speak with you. Do you want to see her?" asked Madoka
"Sure, be back soon."
Emishi entered the den to see the girl named Rouge. She was staring at her hands. Emishi was stunned at how she looked. Her skin was so white and pale yet seemed to glow somehow. The glow from the fire heighten this causing her to look like a goddess to him. He silently walked up behind her and took one of her hands, "Why are you staring at your gloves? Did they speak to you?" Emishi asked jokingly
Rouge actually giggled at this joke and Emishi thought it was the most beautiful sound he had ever herd in his life.
"No. I was thinking about my mutation. Whoever makes skin to skin contact with me gets hurt. I take out their life force, or even their power if their mutant. I also take their memories and physical abilities. If I hold on for to long I, I could, kill, someone. But, back at the institute, when I touched you…nothing happened to you. I looked up into your eyes and I saw something there. All I can think about is your eyes, your face, and your voice. I think it was…" Emishi's finger covered her lips(No one freak out because I have changed Rouges age to 21)
He spoke softly, "Love at first Fight."
Rouge giggled again as tears of joy filled her eyes. She nodded her head and then pulled him into a kiss.
She pulled back and looked up at Emishi, "I left the Institute to be with you. I want to be with you. It's like an unknown force is driving my heart. Does that sound crazy?"
"No. Not at all. I feel the same way." Emishi kissed her again
