Hope awoke in an abandoned building and found a girl licking a single bleeding wound.
"Mmm. I smell new blood." She said before looking to Hope. "Your blood. It has a new aroma to me. Mind if I...have a taste?" She asked licking her lips.
"Sure. Go right ahead." Hope said.
"Really? Most people try to avoid having me taste it." She said walking slowly towards Hope. "Don't worry. I just wanna taste, then I can decide what to do with you." She grinned.
She sank her teeth into the would and drained the blood from the wound, healing it instantly.
"Yes! This blood is especially sweet. All right. I won't kill you then. Instead, I'll make you my personal blood slave." She chuckled.
"Let me guess, you're Marie?" Hope said Getting up.
"Oh. So you know me. Then you know letting me drink your blood was a fatal mistake." Marie grinned as Hope noticed his body moving on its own. "You're blood, now belongs to me."
"Was it… good?" Hope asked. "I dont think youre a monster. When I see red lanterns, I still think they have minds left. You, I think are just looking for a meal."
"Good eye. I consider myself a bit of a blood gourmet. I travel the worlds, sampling different kinds of blood. I came here to sample mutant blood for myself." Marie said.
"Well, If you join our team, then you can have all the blood you want. No need to-" Hope said before Marie started laughing.
"You're awfully cute. Listen, I only sample my blood through way of the hunt. It doesn't taste the same if someone just hands it over to me." Marie said.
Hope smiled. "Come with me. I know someone who might be a buffet to you."
"Oh! Show me!" She said excitedly.
The two hurried along the path and met up with Deadpool and the heroes.
"M-m-marie!" Volt and Deadeye shouted.
"Oh! I already tasted those two. Volt's blood has no much bitterness and Deadeye's is just horrid." Marie said brushing the two fighters off.
"What about him?" Hope said pointing to Jexi before whispering to him. "This is just to get her on our side, and also payback for leaving me to almost die." Hope said as Marie pounced on Jexi, biting into him.
"Hmm. This flavor. I tasted something like this before." Marie said wiping her mouth. "Its like that horrible Blazer's blood." Marie said as Jexi's body began to choke him. "Like his, it shouldn't exist!"
"Whoa, whoa whoa!" Hope said. "I know Blazer pissed you off, but killing him isnt gonna solve any problems. Tell me, what exactly did he do to get you to try and kill him?"
"He didn't do anything. His blood just tasted awful. And Awful blood must be purged!" Marie said.
"Hope...you….are a dead man." Jexi said struggling to breathe.
Hope swallowed, then remembere his talk with Juvia. "You shoudnt always judge people by your own ideals."
"Elaborate." Marie said releasing her hold.
"What I'm saying is, dont always look on the inside for likeability." Hope said.
"That's pretty stupid. But for your sake, I'll let him live. Just leave me alone." Marie said. "Besides, I still need to sample some of Sinister's blood." Marie said running off.
Jexi punched hope so hard, he sent him into another part of the island. There he saw a cyborg staring down at him.
"Cable. The man out of time." Hope said getting up.
"Yes. I'm here for Deadpool." Cable said.
"You do realize once you speak, he's gonna shoot himself to stop listening right?" Hope asked.
"I do and I am prepared for that outcome." Cable said.
"Well, It'll be awhile before they get here, so what do i need to do?" Hope asked.
"Just make sure the idiot gets this note." Cable said showing Hope the note. "Also, friendly advice, stop trying to recruit everyone. I've seen what that gets you. Its not pretty." Cable said.
"Yeah, a hit to the face." Hope said as Cable vanished.
The heroes arrived soon after that, Jexi going for another punch but Hope Blocked it this time.
"Sorry, but I needed to get the anger out." Jexi said calming down.
"Marie is scary. I'll be more courtious of who I recruiut from now on, but you need to show Marie that you arent like Blazer. That way, we'll have two powerful color fighters on the team."
"Two powerful fighters?" Jexi said. "And I'm not going anywhere near that psycho. She tried to kill me because of my blood."
"Besides, she still wants to taste Sinister's blood. I say we let her. Get some baddies off of our tail." Deadpool said taking the note in Hope's hand.
"It's from Cable. He says to… what the?!" Hope said reading it. "Partially naked, big breasted, number one fan girl?"
"Hot dog!" Deadpool shouted.
He then ran off to Cables next location, the heroes in puirsuit, until they saw Cable with Deadpool at his feet from a punch.
"You knew he was gonna fall for that?" Hope asked.
"Yes. It was the only way to make sure he would come." Cable said. "Now, you heroes are our only hope now. Sinister has used an frequency to knock out all the X-men. You are the only ones who can stop him."
"Finally, an actual reason to be here." Jexi said. "So, from what I can guess, Sinister plans to kill anyone who isn't a mutant, right?"
"Correct. Using a combination of exhumed mutant souls and the power of the girl's amulet, he will kill all non mutant life on this world." Cable said. "The girls name is Emily Charnon. She will actually make an excellent team member."
"When the Man out of Time says a girl with a Magic Amulet from a Dimension of an alternate earth populated by elves and weird creatures alongside humans-" Hope began.
"I get the point. I'll have to see her first before making a decision." Jexi said.
"Oh, and dont bother with the security tower. Sinister is Broadcasting a-" Cable started.
"Sinister? He's in there? Perfect." Deadpool said.
"Dammit, Wade! Dont be a mercenary before a hero!" Cable said as Deadpool charged the tower and Stealth killed the guards.
"Okay, lets split up. Three groups." Hope said before finding himself alone with Cable and Nagisa. "Yeah. They went after Deadpool." Nagisa said.
"I'll get Emily." Hope siad. "Where is she?"
"She's being held captive by Beast Man of Nebula." Cable said. "South Tower."
Hope flew over to said tower and saw the girl hooked up to a machine siphoning the energy. She was unconscious.
"So, we meet again." Beast Man said growling at Hope.
"Yeah, so we do. You know, I remember you getting your face smashed in, how's that working out for you?"
"That was before we started manufacturing these?" Beast Man said holding a black computer chip. "A computerized version of the Shadow Drug. Now we shall-"
Beast man was blasted out of the tower by Emily, who was out of the machine by Hope.
"You talk too much!" Hope said before seeing Beast Man okay with a dark aura surrounding him. "It works. I didn't feel anything!" He said laughing.
"Ah, crud. You up for running?" Hope asked Emily before finding a slash mark on his side and blood on Beast Man's claw. "Not only am I more powerful, I'm much faster." Beast Man said. "Now, you deal with a real beast." He growled as the two started running.
The blood on Beast Man's claw then moved, forming into a leash witch slammed him repeatedly.
"What sorcery is this?" Beast Man said before seeing Marie. "Run, sweet blood! I'll hold him off for as long as I can!" Marie shouted.
"I knew you were a hero!" Hope said as he and Emily jumped off the tower.
"So the prey escapes, leaving another to take their place." Beast Man said shaking the blood off his claws. "This might prove interesting." Beast Man said lunging at Marie as Marie lunged back.
The team of Hope and Emily continued to run as they got farther away from the fight. They then met up with the others in the middle of a Magnetic Apocalypse.
"Deadpool spun a roulette wheel. Now we're trapped in this mess. Get us out of this!" Lucy shouted.
"Stand back." Emily said as her Amulet Glowed. A sphere of light eveloped her, before blasting a beam that wrecked the entire tower.
"Holy Moley!" Hope said in surprise.
"There. That should solve the problem." Emily said as everyone got off.
"Hope, you're injured." Jexi said noticing the wound.
The wound suddenly closed. "Must be her ability. Since I'm her sweet blood source, she won't let me die." Hope said. "Its Beast Man. He's on the island. Except he's even more powerful now."
Deadpool then walked out of the wrekage with Sinister's head. "Okay, were done. Roll credits!"
The credits started to roll before Cable smashed the screen to bits. "This is a clone! Not the real Sinister!" Cable shouted.
"Rule of Game Design number two, never make a game that's too short or easy." Hope said. "So where's the real Sinister then?"
"Where I was trying to tell Deadpool where he is. Magneto's old Citadel." Cable said.
"If he's bent on destruction of humankind, does that mean a certain taco lady I know is gonna get killed?" Deadpool asked.
"Yes. You will never eat tacos again." Cable said as Deadpool screamed.
"Things just got real!" Deadpool said. "So, we bust in there back to back style?"
"Actually no. I have my own battles to fight in the future. But I can get you there." Cable said.
"We'll need some heavy fire power." Peacock said. SHe then looked at a Sentinel boot. "You thinkin what I'm thinking?"
"Oh yeah! Giant Robot time!" Deadpool cheered.
"Hmm. If we can repair it, it should definitely get us there." Cable said.
"We just need the boot. Theres a mounted laser turret, a missle launcher, and the boot jets still work." Tails said inspecting it.
"We'll need two parts, though. Rest up and get them when youre ready." Cable said.
