Sorry about the long delay guys. I've been really busy and haven't really had the time to do anything with this, so I'm terribly sorry. This one is pretty short, but they will be coming fast. I'll try and do a Thanksgiving side-chapter as well, since I missed Halloween. Also, you'll notice when a certain someone arrives, that I have a fragment of a link before his entrance. Its a Youtube link, just type in the beginning of the address (youtube) and paste the fragment at the end. They are going to be character themes.
I've also just got my hands on Sonic Colors and Donkey Kong Country Returns. Both are pretty good additions to your Wii. I'd say Sonic Colors is a good rental and so is DKCR, but DKCR is really freaking hard, so don't expect to beat it in one sitting. It's definitely for the hardcore platformers out there, but it's not a complete turn-off for the casual either. Both are great though. :) So without further adooooooo!
LIVING IN TWO WORLDS
4. Lemonade N' Convicts
OUTSIDE THE HOUSE
Outside of the house, Ryu, Captain America, Wolverine, Felicia, and The Hulk worked on the lemonade stand diligently. The grin on Ryu's face could be seen from outer space.
Wolverine wiped sweat off of his forehead as he chopped wooden planks up. Hulk grabbed the boards and hammered them down with nails to make the stand. Captain Amercia helped structure it, to make it look at least slightly professional. Felicia grabbed markers and tried to come up with signs for the stand. A...slogan..of some sort. But, she was having trouble.
Felicia: Ryu, what kind of catchphrase do you want?
Ryu looked at Felicia puzzled. Hulk quickly glared at Felicia and knew immediately that they were all doomed to Ryu's ignorance.
Ryu: Catchphrase?
Felicia beamed with glee. She stretched on the warm grass and eyed Ryu.
Felicia: Yeah! Here's an example! "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!"
Wolverine smiled but didn't say a word. Hulk also chuckled at the simplicity of Felicia's example.
Ryu stroked his chin. His brain was like a hamster wheel and it was not moving whatsoever at the moment.
Ryu: I HAVE ONE! Our lemons will "aid" you in your quest to quench your thirst!
Ryu winked at The Hulk, who just sighed and remained silent. Wolverine just looked at Captain America and they both shook their heads. Felicia smiled.
Felicia: I like it!
Ryu: Me too!
The two of them grinned hard and Felicia began to work.
JUST THEN...
A figure came storming out of the house, walking like a duck and swearing under his breath. It was Super Skrull. He was mumbling, groaning, whining, everything you can think of. He was pissed. (You would be too if you got punched in your testicles)
Dr. Doom soon came out as well, in need of some fresh air. They both stood away from each other and they were seconds from exploding into an uncontrollable rage. Wolverine looked at Skrull and back at Doom. He sighed.
Skrull: Asshole.
Doom: Dumbass.
Felicia gasped and covered her ears, disgusted at what she was hearing.
Captain America stared coldly at Dr. Doom and Skrull.
Captain America: What's wrong you two?
Doom pointed at Skrull viciously and electricity formed on his finger, intent on zapping Skrull. Skrull retaliated by stretching his arm to where his hand was in Doom's face and he proceeded to shoot him the middle finger as it burst into flames. Doom slapped Skrull's arm away and zapped Skrull.
Skrull: GAH!
Skrull punched the mess out of Dr. Doom.
Dr. Doom: AHHHHH!
Doom zapped Skrull again, and Skrull returned the favor. The two ran up to each other and it was like a match of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots, especially for Skrull. (remember that game? look it up)
Captain America rushed in between the two to break it up, but he quickly realized that was a mistake as he was caught in the middle of the flurry of blows. He quickly fell to the ground gasping for air.
Wolverine roared with laughter at how quickly Captain America got his ass kicked. Hulk snorted and burst into laughter as well.
Skrull and Doom assaulted each other with blows until Doom delivered a strong right hook to Skrull's jaw, which knocked him backwards a bit. Skrull stood up, grabbed Doom, and flung him sideways...right toward the lemonade stand...
NOOOOOOOOO!
Ryu began to run in slow-motion as Doom was hurled horizontally...
Hulk was too busy laughing to notice what was happening...
Wolverine was the same way...
Captain America just laid there...
Felicia was playing with her breasts...
Ryu shouted at the top of his lungs...but that was not enough to stop Dr. Doom's heavy body from smashing his stand to rubble.
Doom stood up.
Doom: Skrull! You imbecile!
Skrull: I've had enough of your mouth!
Doom: Not my problem!
The two argued for what seemed like an eternity. Wolverine and The Hulk just sat there..and marveled over the grand mess the two caused. They looked at Ryu and they realized that now might have been a good time to get the fuck out of there.
Wolverine grabbed Felicia and ran towards the house.
Skrull and Doom were still arguing as an enraged Ryu walked toward them. His eyes burned with fury and his muscles bulged. The two turned around and looked at him.
Skrull: What?
Doom: Is there a problem?
Ryu remained silent. He cracked his knuckles, his back, and his neck. He grabbed the two, and the only thing that could be heard after that were screams and yelps. Somehow Captain America got involved and he got his ass beat too. Again.
OUTSIDE OF IHOP
Iron Man and the gang had had enough of Agev's constant taunting. They were about 10 seconds from completely brawling in the deserted street. Civilians watched from their cars, and others ran for their lives. Outside of IHOP, a pier was not too far off. A huge body of water glistened in the sunlight, and a small beach rested close by. A giant ferris wheel was the center of attention on the pier and it was a fairly popular place. One man in particular kept a close eye on the imminent brawl. He munched on some popcorn and stared. His shades glistened in the sunlight and his business-like attire made him look quite out of place.
His slicked-back gold hair shone brightly and his smile could probably blind the sun.
The man was occupanied by a ninja in purple garb. A mummy with baggy cargo pants and a backwards cap. And a baby commandeering a green medium-sized mech. The man whispered something to the ninja and the four of them began to walk towards the battle.
Agev: Time to spill some blood. IT'S OVER TONY STARK!
As Agev's PTX40 prepared to launch its rockets, a battle cry could be heard from afar. Bright colors flashed in the distance and four figures darted from the pier. The bright yellow star on the man's armor was recognized immediately!
.com/watch?v=YFq5L273YLI&feature=related
The man's legs were a blur, almost like he was running at the speed of sound. He leapt high into the sky and reared his fist back. His mouth gaped as he howled with power.
Man: CAAAAAAAAAAAPTAIN! CORRIDOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRR!
He slammed his fist into the ground near the PTX's vicinity, and a huge column of electricity erupted up from the surface and collided into the PTX, impaling it.
A giant hole could be seen on the PTX and it malfunctioned immediately. Agev was speechless. The PTX began to overload and was seconds from exploding. Agev quickly jumped from the PTX onto the ground as it exploded and robot parts went flying everywhere.
The man stood directly in front of Agev and stared him down. His blue shades glistened in the sunlight. Agev's mouth gaped and he fell back in shock. The man pointed at Agev and began to speak.
Man: Get out of here.
Agev began to stand but he quickly fell back down in terror. His ninja posse surrounded him to protect him, but the other three figures accompanying the heroic superhero surrounded them!
Agev: Wh-Who are you?
Man: I...I am Captain Commando. Upholder of peace and justice in Metro City.
He pointed at Agev.
Captain Commando: And YOU are not welcome here.
The Captain clenched his fists and electricity cackled. The gaze underneath his shades settled on Agev's mask. Agev was awestruck and horrified. Viewtiful Joe however, was utterly amazed at what he was seeing.
Dante whispered to Chris in the meantime, without even looking at him.
Dante: Look at this nutjob...
Chris: I know right...
Captain Commando grabbed Agev and lifted him with one arm. Agev flailed and screamed in absolute terror. His posse couldn't help, they had already gotten their asses handed to them by Captain Commando's crew. They began to retreat immediately, abandoning Agev and leaving him to perish. Captain Commando frowned and glared at Agev.
Captain Commando: Anything you want to say?
Agev was too astonished to reply. The only words coming from his mouth were "Wha" and "Urg".
Captain Commando: I guess not. Goodbye assassin.
Captain Commando's right leg reared backward. He then brought it forward with a burst of speed and punted Agev full force, launching him into the stratosphere. A twinkle could be seen in the sky as Captain Commando marveled at his victory.
Viewtiful Joe's mouth dropped completely while Deadpool attempted to pull it back up with no success. Trish's eyes went wide in amusement and so did Chun Li's. Morrigan moaned afterwards, it was obvious she was horny.
Captain Commando looked at the group. He smiled and held out his hand.
Captain Commando: Sorry about that. He's been on my radar for a while now. Had to get rid of him. Name's Captain Commando.
He pointed at the purple ninja.
Cap. Commando: This is Shou.
He pointed at the mummy.
Cap. Commando: This is Mack.
Finally he pointed at the baby.
Cap. Commando: And this is Hoover. The Commando Team at your service.
Iron Man extended his arm and shook the Captain's hand.
Iron Man: Tony Stark. Pleased to meet you.
Everyone greeted themselves to the Captain and he smiled. He stared at Viewtiful Joe, who was still totally shocked.
Captain Commando: Uhh...is he going to be alright?
Dante: I guess.
Chris: Yeah, he should be. He's never seen a...uhh..eccentric superhero like you before.
Deadpool: Besides me.
Chun: Deadpool...you're not a superhero.
Deadpool: THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK.
Trish: Weirdo.
Deadpool: DON'T JUDGE ME.
Amaterasu began to scratch her head. The Commando team was unlike anything she had ever seen before. Nice people, but completely ridiculous at the same time.
Shou tapped on Commando's shoulder and pointed towards the pier. Commando nodded and looked back at the group.
Commando: I apologize, but we must get going. It was very nice meeting you. Until next time.
The Commando team immediately dashed off into the foreground as if someone was slaughtering people up on the pier. Yeah. They were THAT urgent.
Dante just shook his head. He looked at the others and smiled.
Dante: What a nutjob. Hahahaha.
He shrugged and his coat billowed in the wind. He put his pistols away and began to walk off down the road.
Chun: Where are you going?
Dante: I'm going home. Before Ono appears and asks us what happened to his sex slave Agev.
Dante waved at the group and laughed as he casually walked down the road.
Chris and Amaterasu looked at each other. Chris laughed and Amaterasu howled. They both ran to catch up with Dante.
Iron Man turned to look at the others.
Iron Man: Well...what do we do now?
Chun: There's really nothing to do...but Dante has a point. Ono could show up any minute now.
Trish: So? We didn't do anything.
Deadpool: Yeah, but he's gonna think we did something. You know how Ono is...he's a sly bastard.
Iron Man: I agree.
Morrigan: So..either we follow Dante, or we follow Commando. Or..we could just...go to the bar and hang out there.
Deadpool: What do you think, Joe?
Viewtiful Joe finally snapped out of it. He stared at Deadpool and spoke.
Viewtiful Joe: Let's follow Commando! Definitely!
Deadpool: I'm going with ya!
Chun: You two have fun. I think I'm going to follow the idiots home.
Trish: I'm going to the bar. You in Morrigan?
Morrigan: Mmmm yes.
She smiled seductively at Trish, who smiled seductively back at her.
Iron Man pondered for a second. "Hmmm..." he thought to himself.
Iron Man: I guess I'll go to the bar as well.
As the group made their decisions, they all went their seperate ways. But...someone was missing...and none of them realized it.
Thor was gone. Nowhere in sight. He disappeared right as Captain Commando appeared. What is the meaning of this? And what happened to the Hummer?
? (Unknown Palace)
In an unknown area, the hammer wielding God awoke from his slumber. It was dark, creepy...and moist. Silence filled the area and the God was utterly confused.
Where was he? Where are the others? All these questions flooded his mind. His hammer boomed with power, and the electricity lighted the area.
It was some sort of dark prison. With adamantium bars for capturing convicts and trapping them there. Luckily, Thor was on the outside, free to move about and escape. He looked in the holding cells and found many victims asleep, or unconcious.
Thor: What is the meaning of this...?
Thor moved about the prison. He looked in one holding cell in particular and saw a man throwing pebbles at a wall. Thor walked up to the bars and spoke.
Thor: Are you...alright?
The man stared at Thor. He got up off of the wet mattress and looked at Thor through the bars. He had golden hair, wore a blue striped prison outfit, sported a mean stubble on his chin, and had giant handcuffs on for no particular reason.
?: I'm fine.
His laidback voice boomed through the prison, awakening others from their sleep.
Thor: What is this place?
?: This? This is Yoshinori Ono's Fortress. Pretty..uhh...nasty, huh? I mean we have to drink from the dirty river that runs through this place. That's why it's all wet here.
Thor: How do you live like this?
?: Heh heh. Wouldn't you like to know. How did ya end up here of all places anyway?
Thor: Honestly...I have no clue. I was in Metro City..about to defeat a giant mechanical monstrosity and next thing I know..I wake up here.
?: Heh, that's a strange one...I wonder why you're not in a cell. 'Must got somethin' in store for ya.
Thor: What do you mean?
?: 'Prolly wanted to do somethin' to ya. Weren't expectin' ya to wake up so early. Who knows? They might've been trying to kill you and wanted to save ya for later down here.
Thor: That's preposterous!
?: Hey, when Ono's concerned, nothing is impossible.
Thor: Well, I thank you for your information, but I really must be leaving. I must find a way out of this...this...this hell!
?: I know how ya feel. Too bad we can't escape from here. I'm used to breakin' out of prisons, but this one is a bit more sturdy than the rest.
Thor: Hmm...since you have shared so much information with me...I will gladly release you from this cell. Stand back.
Thor gathered electricity in his hammer and swung the mighty mallet with all of his might. He completely obliterated the adamantium bars with a single, powerful, loud blow. The man stared in disbelief and howled in amazement.
?: Now THAT is power!
The man quickly stepped out of his cell and patted Thor on the shoulder.
?: I owe you one man. What's your name, homie?
Thor: Homie? What is a homie? And my name is Thor. Thor of Asgard.
?: Homie means a lot of things. But it means friend mostly. Thor huh? Name's Cody. Cody Travers.
The two shook hands and Cody thanked Thor for his rescue. Cody asked Thor if he could save some of his friends, and Thor agreed to help them out as well.
Thor destroyed five more cells, but stopped after the fifth one. There was a giant rumble above. Apparently, they were in the basement of the fortress. There was stairs north of the prison, and a giant black door at the very top.
The inmates all patted Thor on the shoulder. The five convicts were: Edward Falcon (Power Stone), Lei Lei (Darkstalkers), Regina (Dino Crisis), Jin Saotome (Cyberbots), and Hayato Kanzaki (Plasma Sword)
Together, they could escape this torturous hellhole and find their way back to the city, where they rightfully belonged.
