Ok, here's another chapter! YAY! I kind feel like I actually slid off course on this one, so expect seriousness in the next chapter. Pls review and enjoy! And yes, I believe there is OOCness...sorry.
Chun Li was waiting for Wesker outside on the Helicarrier. 'Damn it!' She thought to herself while rubbing her bandages, 'If he keeps putting me in these situations I'll have to get someone to switch squads with me.'
"I've seen what Wesker was doing with you." Came a voice from beside her. Chun Li turned to see Ironman standing right next to her.
"And that something would be...?" Chun Li asked.
"He getting to you, and not for a what you may think." Ironman asked, "If I were you, I would keep my eyes on the real target."
"I know who the target is, and I don't need the armored wonder, or anyone else to remind me." Chun Li snapped. Whether she surprised him, she didn't know because of the mask armor, but she sure surprised herself. "Sorry." she apologized with a sigh and a hand on her forehead.
"It's alright." Ironman replied, "Sorry, but you didn't answer my question."
"No, he is not getting to me that way." Chun Li replied seriously.
'You're lying.' Teased a voice in her head, singing the last part.
'Shut the hell up!' Chun Li mentally shouted, 'I'm talking to someone!' Chun Li was snapped out of her thoughts by a hand being waved in her face.
"Never let your mind wander." Wesker replied while retreating his hand, "Someone might want to take advantage of your carelessness. Now, let's get going before more of these clowns show up."
"I really hope you're referring to your imaginary friend." Ironman commented.
"Too late, it seems one has shown up already." Wesker replied.
"Are all your villains this stupid, or is it hereditary?" Ironman asked Chun Li.
"I'm not getting in the middle of this." Chun Li replied and walked away.
"Now that my assistant is out of harm's way..." Wesker commented.
"Come on, you don't want to do this." Ironman replied.
"You don't really think you can win do you?" Wesker asked.
"Well, I took on Thor so yeah, I can and would." Ironman replied.
"Prove it." Wesker provoked. Ironman charged forward at high speed and brought his fist to make contact with Wesker face. Unfortunately for him, Wesker easily dodged the attack and countered with a Jaguar Kick, sending Ironman through the air. Ironman regained his balance and used the thrusters in his suit to land right side up on one knee with his fist on the ground.
"What are they fighting about?" X-23 asked as she came up to Chun Li while looking at the one-on-one fight.
"One because he has a giant ego, and the other...well...basically the same thing." Chun Li replied.
"Oh...I got twenty on the armor." X-23 commented.
"Fifty on shades." Chun Li replied.
"Seriously?" X-23 asked, "Ironman has quite a few guns in that armor. Your guy won't stand a chance."
"We'll see." Chun Li replied.
Wesker pulled out his gun and fired it at Ironman who didn't even flinch from the ricochet.
"Is that all?" he asked. Wesker simply lifted three fingers and brought them down in a countdown. "Aww shit." An explosion came from Ironman's shoulder and Wesker took advantage of the distraction to charge forward and use a palm thrust to send Ironman off the ship with a huge dent in the armor chest plate. Ironman managed to regain his balance, jettison himself back on to the ship, and remove the chest plate before he suffocated.
"Consider yourself lucky that I didn't aim for your life support." Wesker commented.
"Will he be ok?" X-23 asked.
"He should." Chun Li replied, "This was a fight to demonstrate power. By the way….." Chun Li held out her hand. X-23 groaned and paid up.
"If you're done, I'd like to leave now." Wesker commented while approaching the two girls. "Before I get pulled into another useless fight."
"Heh, aren't you impatient." Chun Li commented, waved goodbye to X-23, and followed Wesker.
Hsien Ko was pacing back and forth at Wesker's lab while Nemesis watched her.
"So, what are you anyways?" Hsien Ko asked Nemesis. Nemesis looked at her but made no type of response. "Umm...I kinda...asked you something?" Nemesis didn't budge. "Can you even talk?" Still no response. "I'll take that as a no."
Hsien Ko began to wander around the lab and came to a computer that was blinking, "ERROR".
"Hmm..." Hsien Ko pushed a button on the keyboard and the message disappeared, "I guess it's fixed." She turned to go back to Nemesis when she felt a sharp pain on her shoulder and came face to face with a creature she'd never seen before.
Nemesis was still standing in place like a statue when he heard Hsien Ko scream in pain and left his spot to investigate. Upon arriving, he saw that two Lickers had attacked Hsien Ko. One was high above the wall, strangling her with it's tongue, while the other had her impaled on the wall with its claws by her shoulder. In two massive steps, Nemesis reached the second Licker, as it was about to impale Hsien Ko's heart, an brutally swing his arm into the Licker causing it to fly across the lab. Hsien Ko felt the pain in her shoulder ease a bit, but she couldn't do much because she was still being strangled and losing consciousness. While she blacked out, Nemesis grabbed the tongue with both hands and tore it in two. The Licker screeched in pain and retreated while Hsien Ko fell to the floor unconscious.
Hsien Ko regained consciousness to find herself bandaged up, in a bed, and Nemesis in front of her with his back towards her. Hsien Ko examined the bandages and noticed that some of the medical tape went above her chest and around her uninjured shoulder.
"Oh good, you're awake." said a voice beside her. She turned her head to find Chun Li sitting in the bed next to her, "Wesker is getting rid of those...Lickers? I think that's what he called them?"
"When did you get here?" Hsien Ko asked.
"I guess a little after your accident." Chun Li replied, "When we got here, Nemesis was dragging you by the leg to this room. I thought he attacked you for a second, but then that creature came at me and I brought it down before it touched me."
"There were only two." Hsien Ko informed, "And who...did the bandages?"
"Wesker, apparently he's good at that." Chun Li replied, "He didn't take as long as I thought though."
"Why do you say that?" Hsien Ko asked.
"Well...because when he patched me up...he kind of...took his time." Chun Li replied. Hsien Ko was about to ask another question when Wesker appeared out of thin air next to Chun Li.
"How'd you know we were talking about you?" Chun Li asked.
"Were you now?" Wesker asked, "I only came because of this." Wesker gestured to the tongue in his hand that he had apparently caught before it got to Chun Li. With a single tug, Wesker brought the Licker to him and smashed its head in with an axe kick. "Have you told her yet?"
"No." Chun Li replied.
"Told me what?" Hsien Ko asked.
"As soon as you're better, we're going to New York to clear out those clones." Chun Li replied, "It's the area with the most clones, most likely nearby Galactus as well, so we called dibs on it."
"Ok!" Hsien Ko replied cheerfully.
"What's wrong Chris?" Jill asked.
"I just know that Wesker is up to something, but I can't figure it out." Chris replied.
"Look, I hate Wesker as much as you," Jill commented, "but we have bigger things to worry about other than Wesker right now. We need you to focus!"
Chris sighed, "You're right, thanks Jill." Jill nodded and Chris moved forward. They were investigating TriCell labs along with Phoenix Wright.
"Well...these are...interesting creatures." Wright commented, "How come this lab is still here?"
"We just found out about it, thanks to those clones." Chris replied, "Just be careful and don't touch anything." Chris just finished his sentence when and alarm went off. He turned to glare at Wright but Wright only shrugged while showing that he didn't move anything.
"Chris!" Jill called, "You'd better come see this!" Chris ran over to Jill who was at a computer which was blinking "WARNING". "Apparently TriCell had T and G virus B. , and some have gotten out!"
"AHHH! What is this?" Wright cried out. Chris turned to see a Hunter closing in on Wright. The Hunter jumped up to behead Wright when Chris shoulder tackled it in mid air.
"Phoenix, get out of here!" Chris ordered. Wright turned to dash out of there when two clones of X-23 appeared before him.
"What now?" Wright asked.
"What else!?" Jill shouted as she took down a Licker and attacked one of the clones. Chris and Wright joined the fight as more clones of random allies appeared.
"What a waste of time." Wesker commented as he obliterated a clone of Thor.
"I'll say, this got us nowhere near finding Galactus." Chun Li replied while countering another clone.
"Umm...shouldn't we be helping Nemesis?" Hsien Ko asked. Nemesis was pinned down by three Rocket Raccoon clones.
"We'll, since those are the only ones left..." Chun Li responded, "let's enjoy the show." Hsien Ko gave her a questioning glance before turning back to Nemesis in time to see him shove the clones off and shot one in its face with his rocket launcher. One of the clones got onto his back again and began to scratch at his face. Nemesis didn't flinch and simply reached up, pulled the clone off, slammed it into the ground, and stomped its head in. The last clone tried to retreat, but Wesker simply pulled out his gun and fired off a shot to his left at it without even looking and landed a head shot.
Chun Li and Hsien Ko walked up to Nemesis.
"You ok big guy?" Chun Li asked.
"I hope that clone didn't mess up your face." Hsien Ko commented. Nemesis turned to face the girls. "Good it's in tact. Quite the skin you have on."
"No offense Nemesis, but I don't think its your tough skin that kept your face in one peice. It's the fact that it can't get any worse!" Chun Li joked.
"Oh don't be so mean Chun Li." Hsien Ko commented, "Nemesis looks good just the way he is...for a mutated experiment...and in the right light...well he sure looks better than those Lickers!"
"He knows I'm joking." Chun Li replied and turned to Nemesis, "You forgive me right?" Nemesis grunted an accepting response. "See? And as for those Lickers, I saw the footage to a camera that was nearby when you were attacked, you really shouldn't touch things when your at someone else's place."
"Well...I guess you're right." Hsien Ko commented and Chun Li.
"Enough!" Wesker ordered, "I swear if you not poisoning Nemesis with you happy attitude, then your poisoning me."
"Blame Hsien Ko," Chun Li replied, "Things got more cheerful when she came along. Anyways, what now?"
"There is nothing we can go on that reveals a hint to Galactus' location, so we'll have to return to the Helicarrier and see if anyone else has a lead." Wesker replied.
Once they arrived at the Helicarrier Wesker told the others to wait for him before he disappeared to the Briefing room. Chun Li and Hsien Ko jumped off of Nemesis' shoulders.
"Told you it was fun." Chun Li commented.
"It was!" Hsien Ko replied cheerfully.
"Hey! Chun Li!" A voice called out. Chun li turned to see Frank West running towards them, "Hey, can I get a picture of you and your teammates?"
"What for?" Hsien Ko asked.
"Well it just so happens that once this is over, the media will be all over everyone on this ship." Frank replied, "I figured if I get a head start, I'll not only get paid well, but I may be able to take some of that weight off." Frank turned back to Chun Li, "So may I?"
"I'd prefer it to be a team picture, do you have time to wait for Wesker?" Chun Li asked.
"Sure!" Frank replied, "My team is taking a break. Man, those three are a handful."
"Why do you say that?" Hsien Ko asked.
"Yeah, it can't be worse than Mr. Emotionless and the brick wall over here." Chun Li replied. Nemesis growled, making his presence clear.
"Try working with two brothers who hunt demons for a living and the scary girlfriend of one of them." Frank replied, "Dante is laid back, his girlfriend just jumps at the first chance to strike, and Virgil is too damn serious."
"And you?" Chun Li asked.
"I jump in if they need me and take pictures." Frank replied.
"Sounds like a useless asset to me." Wesker commented approaching the group.
"I don't just wait in the back, I fight just like the others and take pictures when I can." Frank replied, "Speaking of which, now that you're here."
"No." Wesker snapped.
"Oh come on." Chun Li commented, 'It's not going to kill you to take one picture."
"Fine." Wesker replied, "But just so you know, this will be the only one."
"Alright, just get together and make a good pose!" Frank commented excitedly while mentally taking note of how easily Wesker caved. Wesker stayed where he was and looked off to the side while Chun Li grabbed his arm and leaned on him. Hsien Ko waved excitedly towards the camera with a smile and Nemesis stood behind them with that awesomeness of his.
"Alright! Thanks guys!" Frank commented.
"Let's get going now." Wesker commented.
"Got a lead?" Chun Li asked.
"Chris' team was attacked at TriCell labs by B. and clones," Wesker explained, "one of the clones was carrying an unfinished device which Doom identified as his own. We're going to his lab."
"Is it me, or are the only places we go to labs?" Hsien Ko asked. Nemesis growled in agreement because, even though he couldn't say it, he was sick of labs.
