LIVING IN TWO WORLDS
EXTRA STORY
A MVC3 HALLOWEEN
PART 1
It was a dark and stormy night at the MVC3 house. All was quiet...and the guests were all in the living room, watching the new movie, Rising Dead, on their giant 70-inch TV.
The protagonist of Rising Dead, Wank Frest, was battling off a horde of zombies with a toilet plunger. The zombies were getting closer and closer as Wank Frest began to get fatigued. The protagonist looked at the TV viewers and began to scream for help.
"THERE ARE JUST SOME THINGS...MAN WAS NEVER MEANT TO TAMPER WITH."
Those were Wank Frest's final words as the zombies overwhelmed him and eventually consumed him.
Deadpool was at a loss for words as he watched the events transpire.
Viewtiful Joe: That...
Wolverine: Was...
Wesker: ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!
Chris: Yeah..for once, I agree with Albert. I've been through much worse stuff than that!
Jill: Yeah, same here. I remember when that tyrant, Nemesis, used to stalk me in Resident Evil 3.
Chris: Yeah, you told me about that guy. What happened to him?
Jill: Rocket launcher to the face. Just like every Resident Evil game.
Chris: Ah, true.
Wesker: Wait a minute...
Chris: Sheva and I shot you with a rocket too, Wesker. At the volcano, remember?
Wesker: Oh yeah. Right. Capcom gave you the ability to move boulders by punching them, as well.
Chris: That was awesome.
Dante: Nemesis, huh? He was the guy that wore that black trenchcoat? He had tentacles...or tendrils, right?
The Hulk was busy reading his anime/manga-manual.
Hulk: Seems like this Nemesis person would have been great for...HENTAI!
She Hulk: What's Hentai?
Hulk: Uhh...something to do with tentacles. And girls...
Magneto: Reminds me of Cable and Deadpool...
Wolverine burst out laughing.
Deadpool: Hey hey hey! We won't be having any more of that kind of talk! That was a one-time thing...
Ryu: Tentacles? Like an octopus?
Super Skrull: Wow, Ryu got something right for once!
Ryu beamed with pride as he punched his chest in triumph. Dormammu giggled to himself when he saw Ryu's victory smile.
Trish: You know...what would happen if we were in a zombie apocalypse?
Deadpool: Oh no. Here we go...
Deadpool buried his head under the couch cushions and mumbled something to himself, probably his ABC's.
X-23: Aim for the head!
Chris: I've already been through like three of them. I know how to deal with them. Lots of herbs, and lots of guns! So, X-23 has the right idea.
Doctor Doom: Herbs? What in God's name would herbs do against re-animated corpses?
Morrigan: Why not just call them zombies, Victor?
Doctor Doom: Because I'm not a bumbling fool, Morrigan.
Iron Man: Victor likes to flex his intelligence muscles. Don't mind him. Mr. Fantastic has bigger intelligence muscles though.
Doctor Doom was pissed.
Doctor Doom: Don't you DARE bring REED RICHARDS into this conversation!
Hulk: Metal Man is angry! Hulk laughs at his misfortune!
Ryu: Ryu laughs too!
Hulk & Ryu: HAR HAR HAR HAR.
Phoenix: So, about this Nemesis thing..Jill, what would it do? What was it like?
Jill: It was giant. It had a permanent smile on its face...and it's face was stitched up...it was a walking mass with clothes. It carried a bazooka and it pretty much killed everything that tried to rescue me. It was a nightmare. Not to mention it was freakishly strong...
Deadpool: That sounds like the thing we just watched on the movie!
Dante: Did it mutate?
Jill: Yes.
Deadpool: JUST LIKE THE THING WE WATCHED ON THE MOVIE!
Chun-Li: Hmm...did it talk?
Jill: Yeah, it would always say, "STARS".
Doctor Doom: Excellent. A monster astrologist.
Chris: It would say that because that was the organization Jill was with.
Deadpool: The monster on the movie would say, "PLANETS" every time it was about to eat someone's brain! THE SIMILARITIES ARE TOO SIMILAR!
Trish: Calm down, Deadpool.
Dormammu was on the computer at the time, and he had just looked up the name of the monster from the movie.
Dormammu: The name of the monster from this movie is, "Rival". I wonder if that has any correlation with the thing that Jill is talking about?
Felicia: I'm scared...
Spider-Man: Don't be scared. None of that stuff is real. It's all just made to try to scare people and get them to panic.
Chris: It's not real, Peter?
Spider-Man winked at Chris and Chris nodded back.
Chris: Yeah, Peter's right. Nothing to worry about Felicia!
Deadpool: Nothing to worry about!? Are you kidding me? That monster was a sign! This movie came on for a reason. It was to warn us! The similarities are too similar! Nemesis is coming for us!
Wesker: I invite the challenge. I would like to study this creature...
Everyone glared at Wesker as he cleared his throat.
Wesker: What?
Chris: No way, Wesker. You're not going anywhere near that thing if it really shows up one day.
Wesker: Afraid for my safety, Chris? That's cute.
Chris: N-No! What the hell are you talking about?
Arthur had just come out of the bathroom after washing his beard and he tapped Dante on the leg.
Arthur: I uhh...I borrowed your undergarments again...
Dante: Arthur, again!? This is like the fifth time this week!
Iron Man: Don't blame me this time, Dante.
Arthur: I'm sorry! Ryu washed our clothes and my undergarments shrank! You don't want me to walk around in what Morrigan likes to wear, do you?!
Ryu: Wash clothes? I thought I was supposed to dry them in the dryer?
Chun-Li slapped her head in shame.
Super Skrull: A thong?
Spider-Man burst out laughing.
Dante: Fine.
Morrigan: Hehe..Arthur would be cute in a thong!
Deadpool had got on the computer after Dormammu abandoned it.
Deadpool: Uhh...guys...
Super Skrull: What is it?
Deadpool: I just went on to the MVC3 site out of curiosity...guess who our newest member is...
Iron Man: A hot babe? Please Lord let it be that Juri Han girl. I would bang the everlasting-
Felicia's wide eyes looked up at Iron Man, and he quickly paused.
Iron Man: -uhh..I would..yaknow...okay, I'll hush.
Deadpool: No...it's freaking NEMESIS! LOOK!
He turned the computer monitor toward everyone as lightning flashed in the background.
Jill: That has to be a joke...
Deadpool: NO! It's the truth! Look! LOOK WHAT IT SAYS AS ITS DESCRIPTION!
Deadpool began to read in his most ominous voice ever with a flashlight shining under his face.
Deadpool: "THERE ARE SOME THINGS MAN WAS NEVER MEANT TO TAMPER WITH!"
Viewtiful Joe: DUN DUN DUN!
Deadpool: Nemesis is coming to kill us all...starting with me! I'm the handsome, comic-relief guy...my type is always the first to die! Someone hold me!
Dante: You're being ridiculous, Deadpool. Come on, that's gotta be some kinda stunt being pulled by Ono. He's yanking our chain, as usual.
X-23: What if Deadpool is right though?
Iron Man: We've got more than enough firepower to take him down. Right, Cap?
Iron Man looked over to see Captain America, but the Winter Soldier was nowhere to be found.
Iron Man: Cap?
Deadpool: OH MY GOD. IT GOT CAPTAIN AMERICA! IT WANTS TO TAKE OVER THE UNITED STATES FIRST! AUSTRAILIA IS NEXT AFTER THAT...AND THEN EUROPE! I WON'T BE ABLE TO WATCH FUTBOL ANYMORE!
Magneto: Deadpool! Shut up you babbling imbecile. There is a logical explanation for this, obviously.
Wolverine: I dunno, bub. Cap is never out jogging this late.
She Hulk: Yeah, he's usually taking a shower by now. Don't ask me how I know that.
Felicia: This is seriously starting to creep me out...
Deadpool: This is just the beginning Felicia. Nemesis is going to capture all of us and force us to clean his toes...oh the humanity!
Spider-Man grabbed Deadpool and slapped him.
Spider-Man: You. Are. Not. Helping. Wade!
Deadpool: Peter! Do you remember that time when Venom raised that army of symbiotes to track you down?
Spider-Man: What does that have to do with anything?
Deadpool: It will be the same concept here...Nemesis will impregnate us with his Nemesis babies and we'll be parents of little baby Nemesi! Not Nemesis! NEMESI! IT'S PLURAL. MEANING MORE THAN ONE!
Wolverine: You're seriously workin' on my last nerve, Wade.
Hulk: Hulk not afraid of Nemesis! Hulk punch Nemesis in his ugly face if he ever tries to-
The lights in the house flickered on and off about three times in a row.
Hulk: -HULK IS SORRY, NEMESIS!
Doctor Doom shook his head.
Morrigan: Do we have candles?
Trish: We have Super Skrull.
Dante: And Phoenix.
Viewtiful Joe: Amaterasu too.
The lights finally turned all the way off, and the power in the house went out completely. Deadpool screamed at the top of his lungs as he jumped into Wesker's arms.
Magneto: Please, Nemesis, take Wade away.
Deadpool: Don't communicate with the monster!
Magneto: HAHAHA! What's wrong Wade, afraid of a little-
-Just then, everything was quiet. The man that had just been talking was instantly silenced. Magneto had disappeared completely.
Iron Man: Erik? Magneto?
Doctor Doom: Ha! That shut him up.
X-23: What did you do?
Doctor Doom: I hit him with my Silence Gun.
Super Skrull: You left that in my room, Victor.
Doctor Doom: ….Oh shit.
Wesker: Super Skrull, give us some light!
Super Skrull: Aye aye!
Super Skrull illuminated the living room with his brilliant flame, and everyone could actually see each other. Magneto was truly gone without a trace, and the tension in the room was rising.
Dante: Now...everyone calm down...
Hulk was in the fetal position on the floor, sucking his thumb while rocking back and forth.
Hulk: I've been good Hulk...Hulk is good Hulk...
Wolverine: Bruce, stop that! Come on, you're supposed to be our first line of defense, big guy!
Hulk: There's a homicidal monster after us, Logan. There is no way I'm leaving my fetal position. Thank you.
Hulk went back to sucking his thumb and rocking.
She Hulk: Let's all do a head-count! If you're here, say "Here"!
She-Hulk: Chris!
Chris: Here!
She-Hulk: Thor!
…
No answer.
Deadpool: OH MY GOD, IT GOT THOR.
Thor: No it didn't. I'm right here.
Thor was using Iron Man's phone, still trying to learn the intricacies of texting.
Iron Man: Whew. I was worried about you, Thor.
Ryu: I'm hungry...
Dante: Me too. Let's go make a sub sandwich.
Ryu: Yummy. I want those fire beans on mine.
Dante: Fire beans?
Ryu: Yeah. They make my mouth hot!
Dante: Peppers?
Ryu: Yeah!
Dante and Ryu walked into the kitchen to make themselves sandwiches.
Spider-Man: Hey...I want one too. Save me some of those fire beans, Ryu!
Deadpool: You idiots! Don't split up from the group! That's how you get captured! Just like the movie!
X-23: Be careful you guys...
Dante: Haha, we will. Nemesis might want a sandwich too. The guy is probably just hungry.
Deadpool: Yeah, for PEOPLE. LIKE US. AND OUR BRAINS.
Felicia began to cry.
Morrigan: Aww, Felicia...it's okay. We won't let anything hurt you.
Iron Man: Yeah, Nemesis is about to get a taste of my PROTON CANNON!
Wolverine: You've been itchin' to say that, huh?
Iron Man: Can't deny it.
Dante: Woah...check this out.
Dante pulled something out of the refrigerator and closed it. It was a note; and it read, "This bird shall never be reborn..."
Chris: What the heck does that mean?
Super Skrull: Hmm...
Jill: Oh no...PHOENIX!
Indeed, Phoenix was gone. Nowhere in sight and disappeared much like Magneto did.
At this point, She Hulk was genuinely creeped out.
She Hulk: Something is seriously going on guys...
Zero: Yeah, this thing is too crafty. We have to be more alert.
Hulk: I told you! Hulk apologized. Hulk cannot be harmed now.
Wesker: That's what it wants you to think...
Chris: Don't start this, Wesker.
Wesker: It's the truth...all tyrants think alike...a false sense of security...then when you least expect it, BAM! They got you in their clutches. It saves the weakest for last...
Deadpool: Oh my God. Oh my God. OH MY GOD.
Viewtiful Joe: Who's the weakest?
Super Skrull: Doctor Doom doesn't have any powers...
Doctor Doom: Quiet Skrull! Don't tell it that!
Just then, the front door flew open and a giant gust of wind knocked everyone back except for Thor. Rain poured in through the door and a vortex of wind began to suck Thor out of his seat. Thor fought with all of his might to resist the funnel of wind that pulled him in like a black hole, but the wind was too strong for him. He reached out for someone, hoping that they would assist him, but the wind kept everyone back, like it was aiming exclusively for Thor. Iron Man tried his hardest to grab Thor's hand, but the wind was much too powerful.
Iron Man: NOOO! THOR! HANG ON, BUDDY!
Iron Man grabbed a chair and extended it in Thor's direction, hoping that Thor would reach for it..but Thor's arms had been pinned back by the wind.
Thor: BY ASGARD. FOR ASGARD. YOU WILL NOT TAKE ME, YOU BEAST! I WILL SLAY YOU.
Thor smiled at Iron Man, turned around, and charged into the night head-on with the intent of slaying whatever it was that was trying to restrain him. As he disappeared into the night, the door slammed behind him as Iron Man pounded on it furiously.
Iron Man: THOR! GOD DAMMIT, THOR! THOOORRRRR!
Iron Man fell to his knees in despair. He pounded the floor in sheer rage.
Iron Man: I'm going after him.
Wolverine: Tony, no. Don't even think about it, bub. We need you here. We have to track this thing down.
Dante and Ryu were munching on sandwiches.
Dante: Yeah..that thing isn't playing around.
Trish: Don't talk with your mouth full...
Dante: Geez Trish. That saying could have applied to you every-
Chris: -Magneto...Phoenix...Captain America...Thor...you guys noticing this?
Arthur: What?
Chris: It's going after Marvel people first...
Iron Man: And?
Chris & Deadpool: Just like in the movie...
Zero: What do you mean?
Chris: Remember the first victim in the movie? A war-veteran soldier that wore red, white, and blue colors. The next victim? The old man that carried around a bucket on his head. After that? The bird-keeper lady. Then after that? The big guy with the hammer!
Deadpool: So...if we go by the movie...the next victim will be...
Deadpool looked up in complete terror.
Deadpool: The short guy...
Trish: Wait...who's that?
…
Wesker: WOLVERINE, GET DOWN!
Wolverine's claws shot out as he growled.
Wolverine: Come and get me, bub. I'll slice you like swiss cheese!
Wolverine began to walk backwards as he shifted his eyes toward every angle, vigilant and alert. He bumped into a chair and sliced it almost instantaneously as he breathed heavily.
Hulk immediately stood up and dashed to Wolverine's aide, ready to face whatever it was that was after his long-time hated enemy, but now friend.
Wolverine: Thanks, Bruce.
Hulk: Hulk protects Wolverine!
The power came back on and the lights flickered on and off again.
Hulk: HULK IS SAD.
The power went off again.
After moments of inactivity, the gang lowered their guard and glanced at Wolverine.
Wesker: What's going on?
Iron Man: It's not Logan that's next...
…
X-23: Shit! Viewtiful Joe! WATCH OUT!
Viewtiful Joe screamed as he looked up and saw multiple tentacles grabbing for him from the ceiling. Viewtiful Joe dodged the first one and did a slow-motion kick to the second one.
Viewtiful Joe: SOMEONE SAVE ME!
Deadpool: I've got you, Joe! Here, use this!
Deadpool tossed Joe one of his katanas and Viewtiful Joe used it to slice the tentacles that tried to grab him. The tentacles were impervious to the assault, and could not be destroyed. Viewtiful Joe threw away the katana and ran down the hallway screaming, but one of the tentacles grabbed him and pulled him as he clawed the floor.
Iron Man: Now's our chance!
Iron Man analyzed the rapidly-pulling tentacle and placed a tracking device on it while trying to stop it from pulling Viewtiful Joe. Everyone in the room tried their hardest to stop the tentacle, but it would not stop pulling. Viewtiful Joe began to cry as he desperately tried to escape, but to no avail.
Jill: Everyone step back!
Jill lit her lighter and lit the tentacle aflame. It instantly dropped Viewtiful Joe and the monster screamed in agony on the roof.
Jill: Fire works on Nemesis!
Super Skrull: HA! Then that means I can take care of it myself! I'm not next on the list, so that means I don't get captured! I'm going to destroy this thing once and for all.
Wesker: You fool! Don't try to fight that thing by yourself!
Super Skrull: I am the pinnacle of Skrull bioengineering. I won't let a simpleton like Nemesis shame me! I am the Super Skrull!
Doctor Doom: Skrull, as your longtime adviser...I will openly say that this is quite possibly the most moronic thing you have ever thought of.
Super Skrull paused for a moment...but then launched himself through the ceiling to confront this, "Nemesis".
…
It was quiet.
"MAY THE SKRULL RACE THRIVE, FOREVERRRRRR!", were the last words heard from the Super Skrull.
Doctor Doom: Skrull? Super Skrull? SKRULL!
Deadpool: Uhh...I made a mistake. The short guy wasn't the next to be caught...it was the guy with the pointy ears...
Doctor Doom was infuriated.
Doctor Doom: Your miscalculation just got my friend killed!
Dante: Simmer down, Victor. We need a plan, guys. How's that tracking device coming along, Iron Man?
Iron Man: Uhh..Jill kinda fried it once she burned the tentacle.
Jill: Oops...
Felicia was basically sobbing at this point. X-23 and Morrigan were trying to comfort her, but to no avail.
Spider-Man: Listen guys...I don't know what this thing wants, but we have to do something. This thing can't be allowed to run rampant any longer.
Deadpool: It wants OUR FREAKING BRAINS, Spidey!
Spider-Man: Then that means it will starve when it gets to you, Wade.
Deadpool was quiet.
Deadpool: Woah...me and Ryu can't die!
Ryu: I don't understand...
Deadpool: We have no brains, Ryu!
…
Deadpool: Hey wait, what are you trying to say, Peter?
Spider-Man facepalmed.
Chun-Li: What do you propose we do, Peter?
Spider-Man: We fight back.
Ryu: With fire!
Ryu's mind began to pop like popcorn in the microwave. He looked down at his sub-sandwich and grinned massively.
Ryu: Fire beans!
Chris: What?
Ryu: Fire beans! Nemesis eats fire beans!
Chun-Li: They are PEPPERS, Ryu. And what do they have to do with anything?
Ryu: They set your mouth on fire! Nemesis can't eat after that!
Jill: His bane IS fire...
Dante: Do we have any ghost peppers left? Those will char his mouth completely!
Dormammu: Or, I could just incinerate him when he appears...
Wesker: That seems like a much better plan.
Wolverine: We need to split up.
Deadpool & Felicia: NOOOOO!
Wolverine: We do. If we stay bunched up like this, we won't get anythin' done. Some of us are gonna have to go up to the attic. And the rest will have to scout from differen' areas. It's the only way we'll be able to track this thing. Who's with me?
Chris: We have an attic?
Deadpool: Oh, screw that. I'm not going up there. Attics are death traps every single time.
Wesker: I'll go, as long as I am with Dormammu.
Doctor Doom: Yes. But who else is going to the attic?
Deadpool squealed and hid under the couch.
Morrigan: I propose Dormammu to go to the attic. He's the strongest of us at the moment.
Dormammu: Glad some of you finally realize it. I'll melt this, "Nemesis".
Deadpool: Yeah, that's the same thing Skrull said and he hasn't come back yet..
Doctor Doom: Because YOU messed up the order!
Arthur: I have a torch, maybe I should accompany Dormammu?
Wolverine: Good idea. I'll come too. I'll try to sniff this bastard out.
Chris: If he comes back down here, I'll be ready. I've gotta go get my flamethrower out of my room.
Iron Man: Zero, Hulk, She Hulk, and I will try to build a motion tracker in the meantime. Hulk, you gotta guard us.
Hulk: Hulk understands.
Spider-Man: We'll check the front door.
Deadpool: ARE YOU INSANE?!
Spider-Man: Maybe. But someone's gotta do it. You with me, Dante? Ryu?
Dante: Yeah. Let's go see what's up out there.
Ryu had placed about seven ghost peppers through a string, and wore it around his neck like a necklace.
Ryu: I am ready to cause pain!
X-23: Morrigan, Felicia and I will follow you guys.
Just then, the doorbell rang at the front door.
DING...DONG.
It was the most ominous, persistent ringing of all time.
DING...DONG.
Deadpool: Do NOT open that door, Ryu.
Ryu: What? Someone is at the door! I wonder who it could be?
Deadpool was at a loss for words.
Ryu placed his hand on the door and was about to open it...
Dante clenched the hilt of his sword and Spider-Man was ready to shoot webbing as soon as the door opened. X-23 was ready to slash and Iron Man pulled out his Proton Cannon.
Ryu opened the door and they were surprised to see that it was two little girls, holding up little baskets asking for candy.
Tron Bonne & B.B. Hood (from Darkstalkers): TRICK OR TREAT!
…
Tron: Why do you guys look like you're about to kill us?
Dante: Why are you guys trick-or-treating in the...wait a minute, it's not raining anymore?
Tron: Uhh...it hasn't been raining today.
Doctor Doom: Now wait just one fucking minute, you CANNOT be serious.
Dormmamu: It was storming pretty badly, and the wind was even worse. Why is nothing happening now?
B.B. Hood: You guys are crazy. It's been a nice day today..you guys are losing it...
Felicia: No, B.B. Hood! There's a monster chasing us and it wants to eat us and it's already taken like six of us and there's more next and I might have to clean its toes and-
Spider-Man: -No one is cleaning any toes!
Peter Parker shuddered.
Spider-Man: If anything, THAT'S what I'm most afraid of.
Dante: I have no idea what's going on. But you two seem normal enough, what are you guys supposed to be?
Tron: Zombies.
Deadpool screamed in the background.
Dante: Ooookay. And what do you guys want as candy?
B.B. Hood: We want brains.
Iron Man pulled out his Proton Cannon once more.
Iron Man: Excuse me?
Tron: Brains. We want yours.
Doctor Doom: All we have are girl scout cookies. Try again you little rodents!
Doctor Doom drew his gun and placed its laser sight on the forehead of Tron Bonne.
Dormammu: Shoot her, Victor! SHOOT HER!
Chris came back from down the hallway with his flamethrower in his hands.
Chris: I got my flamethrower, but Trish is gone guys!
X-23: She's gone too?
Wolverine: Was she next, accordin' to the movie?
Deadpool: The blonde chick...yep. Of course. Always the blonde ones...
Arthur: Hey, what are those two doing?
Tron Bonne and B.B. Hood were both salivating as they dropped their baskets and pointed at Arthur.
Tron Bonne: He's next.
B.B. Hood: You're the one.
Arthur's frown covered his entire face as he threw off his helmet and lit his torch. He began to foam at the mouth as he pushed passed the two girls and ran outside.
Arthur: I will not be captured you filthy beast! I have a torch! Come and make me clean your toes if you dare!
Spider-Man: NO ONE IS CLEANING ANY TOES, ARTHUR!
Arthur began to run down the street, but it started to rain again. It began to pour down rain and the wind came back like it did with Thor. Morrigan ran out of the door to try to save Arthur, and she insisted that She Hulk go and catch him.
Morrigan: She Hulk, you're the fastest runner!
She Hulk: I am NOT going out there.
Hulk: Arthur is not going to make it...
Iron Man: Arthur! Come back!
Arthur did not listen. The wind was too noisy and his mind was too focused. He searched every nook and cranny looking for Nemesis, but he couldn't see anything as the rain was pouring too hard.
Arthur: Goddess, protect me!
X-23: We've got to help him...
Tron: There's no saving him.
B.B. Hood: He's already gone.
Tron: Like the one behind you.
Indeed, they were right. Viewtiful Joe was quiet in the corner. The tentacle that grabbed him earlier had corrupted him, and he became much like the two little girls at the front door; zombies.
Viewtiful Joe: Uhhhhh...
Deadpool: No Joe! NOOOOO!
Viewtiful Joe pounced on the closest target, Doctor Doom, and tried to bite him but fortunately, Doctor Doom had all that metal on and it protected him. Doctor Doom threw him off and pulled out his gun once again.
Deadpool: Don't shoot!
Doctor Doom: HE'S A FREAKING ZOMBIE!
Deadpool: Oh, so now you believe?
Doctor Doom: …
Doctor Doom: HE'S A FREAKING ZOMBIE!
Ryu: Here, make him eat one of these!
Ryu tossed Doctor Doom a ghost pepper, and Doctor Doom caught it. He shrugged, and shoved the pepper into Viewtiful Joe's mouth. Viewtiful Joe munched on it and instantly began to moan in pain.
Chun-Li: Holy crap, it worked!
The two little girls at the front door were gone...and Arthur had made his way back to the house.
Arthur: He's here!
Dante: What!?
Felicia: OH MY GOD! LOOK!
Nemesis was in the kitchen, abruptly. He just stood there. The hulking mass of flesh wearing the black trench coat just sat there...grinning at the cast. He carried a bazooka with his left arm and tentacles could be seen slithering from under his right sleeve. Rainwater slid down his coat as lightning flashed in the background.
Nemesis: Stars...
Jill: Nemesis. CHRIS! SHOOT HIM WITH THE FLAMETHROWER!
Chris: GOT IT!
Chris pulled the trigger on the flamethrower, but the weapon only squeaked.
Chris: Out of fuel?!
Chun-Li: Oh my GOD! CHRIS, YOU IDIOT!
Chris: Dude, it was fully charged yesterday! I haven't touched it!
Deadpool: Someone set us up! We are SO fucked!
Arthur: Here, use my torch!
Arthur tossed Chris his torch and Chris used it to push the tyrant back. Nemesis walked backwards and growled as Chris approached.
Chris: Yeah, YEAH! You don't like that, do ya? What did you do with our friends?
Hulk: Hulk don't like Nemesis! Hulk want to punch Nemesis in the face!
Deadpool: Good luck with that, Brucie baby.
Spider-Man: Flame-on, Nemesis!
…
Spider-Man: That's what my buddy Human Torch would say. I miss that guy.
X-23: He sounds like what we need right now...
Doctor Doom: Skrull has his powers, but that idiot brilliantly decided to go fight him on his own!
Nemesis roared as Chris asked him these questions. The monster stomped the ground once and aimed his bazooka right for Chris.
Chris: Holy shit. What is a torch going to do to a fucking bazooka?!
Wolverine: Chris, get down!
Nemesis fired the bazooka, but Chris ducked just in time. However, the blast hit an angry Doctor Doom and launched him through the wall to the outside.
Nemesis: Stars...
Dante: That's it. You're going to be seeing plenty of stars once I'm done with you.
Dante drew his sword and dashed toward the beast, who only sat there...breathing. The Hulk and Wolverine followed in behind Dante, and fought the tyrant alongside him. Dante slashed at the monster, but it was unfazed by the blade.
Dante: What is going on? Why is this thing impervious?
Zero slashed at it as well, but the monster slapped Zero into the refrigerator.
Zero: What am I fighting for? We can't even put a dent in this thing!
Dormammu lit Nemesis aflame with his sphere of fire, but Nemesis just flailed around furiously, more annoyed than damaged. Dormammu's eyes were the size of dinner plates.
Wolverine's claws did absolutely nothing, but The Hulk managed to bring Nemesis to his knees. The Hulk punched Nemesis numerous times, and even picked it up to body-slam it. The Hulk punched it while it was on the ground.
Hulk: YOU HURT THOR. YOU HURT SKRULL. YOU HURT CAPTAIN AMERICA! YOU HURT JOE, TRISH, PHOENIX, METAL GUY, AND EVEN MAGNETO!
The Hulk picked Nemesis up, and was charging for a massive punch that would destroy whole countries; however, The Nemesis had a different idea in mind.
Nemesis: Stars...
Hulk: Hulk will help you reach stars as he punches you into outer space!
The Hulk swung and punched The Nemesis square in the face.
…
It did nothing.
She Hulk: Bruce...Bruce...get out of there. Now.
The Hulk was speechless. Not even the Hulk's powerful punches could put a dent in the Nemesis. The Hulk's eyes went wide as tentacles shot from under the Nemesis's sleeve. The tentacles grabbed the Hulk, and Nemesis threw him through the ceiling.
She Hulk: This is bad.
Chris: This has to be some kind of trick pulled by Ono. Nemesis wasn't this strong...was he Jill?
Jill: No way! The Hulk should have killed it in one swing! He punched it like 20 times and he isn't even dazed!
Nemesis: Stars...
Wesker: Hmmm...
Wesker approached the monster and stood right in front of it.
Wesker: Nemesis.
Nemesis: Stars...
Wesker: Let me study you.
Nemesis: Stars...
Deadpool had his eyes covered the entire time. Felicia and Morrigan were both in awe as the abomination walked right past Wesker, and in the general direction of Arthur.
Arthur: No, not again!
Tron Bonne and B.B. Hood appeared once again at the front door, but this time, they were truly zombified. Spencer and C. Viper also appeared with them and they were zombified as well. They all groaned as they stumbled through the front door, and the cast were trapped in between them.
Dante: Alright, Iron Man. Now's the time to use that thing.
…
Dante: Iron Man?
Iron Man had already launched himself through the ceiling to make his escape, abandoning everyone else.
Dante: What an asshole...
Wolverine: No, Tony wouldn't leave us. He's got a plan. Some kinda plan. An' he needs to hurry up with it!
Zero: Where has Amaterasu been this entire time?
X-23: Yeah, Storm is missing too!
She Hulk: She' s always missing...
Wesker rubbed his chin.
Wesker: Sudden storms out of nowhere? We seem to be the only ones affected by this "storm"!
Chris: What are you trying to say?
Wesker: Why are Storm and Amaterasu missing? Perhaps they are the ones setting us up because Ono is paying them to do so!
Jill: You're crazy! They would never do that!
Zero: Yeah, Amaterasu said that she doesn't even trust Ono!
Wesker: Just think about it!
Deadpool made a dash for it. He flipped the couch over and ran down the hallway screaming at the top of his lungs.
Chris: I think he has the right idea.
Jill: Right now? Definitely.
They all made a break down the hall, avoiding the zombies and Nemesis who slowly but surely stalked them from afar. Chun-Li, however, had already been caught by the zombified C. Viper, and before she could scream, The Nemesis covered her mouth and resumed his operations.
The team made their way to the west wing of the house. There were stairs leading up, and stairs leading down to the basement...both equally dangerous.
Zero: Which way?
Wolverine: Up?
Deadpool: DEFINITELY not down.
Dante: Yeah, we gottta keep going up. Is there a window up there?
Dormammu: I think so. Let's burst out of that and run like cowards down the street.
Ryu: Guys, Chun-Li isn't here! Normally, she'd be slapping me in the face for eating so loudly!
Dante: Ryu's right. She's not here...
Arthur: Poor lass...
She Hulk: She didn't stand a chance...
Deadpool: Nemesis has impregnated her! Just like everyone else! His toes are going to be squeaky clean by the time this is over...
Spider-Man: Deadpool, I swear..if you mention Nemesis-toes one more time...
Felicia: No! Chun-Li! This monster is such a bully! Why won't it just leave us alone!?
Deadpool: There are some things...man was never meant to-
Spider-Man, Wolverine, Dante, Zero & Dormammu: -SHUT UP, DEADPOOL.
Deadpool: Meep.
Wesker: Hmm...
Chris: What are you "Hmm"ing about now, Wesker?
Wesker: That monstrosity is interesting. It was invincible. The Hulk couldn't damage it. And it didn't even make an attempt to harm me...
Wesker: Storm and Amaterasu are gone. Both weren't even present for the movie!
Jill: So?
Wesker: This tyrant doesn't have a will of its own. It's operating on a pre-determined consensus. Meaning, that it has been programmed to go after us in a series. Storm and Amaterasu are the ones keeping us pinned down by the storm! Explain a gust of wind that can hold Thor back? Of all people, THOR! Who could clear up a storm like nothing ever happened? A SUN goddess!
Dormammu: You may be on to something...
Wesker: I certainly am! Nemesis's mind is like a checklist!
Deadpool & Wesker: Just like the movie!
Wesker: What was the major turning point in the movie, Deadpool?
Deadpool: The survivors removed the clothing...
Wesker: And what did they find?
Deadpool: Its exposed heart...
Wesker: Exactly.
Chris: You don't make any sense.
Wesker: You idiot! It's operating on brain functions and algorithms only. The heart sends messages to the brain, does it not? It's heart should be exposed under that clothing. If we can overload its heart..we should be able to essentially fry its brain. Nothing stimulates sensory information like extreme heat!
Ryu: I'm confused.
Wesker: Ryu, you were right the entire time. Those peppers are the key.
Ryu: But...I want to keep some for my sandwich...
She Hulk: My cousin is probably a freaking zombie out there, and all you're worried about is a damn sandwich!?
Zero: So, what do we do Wesker?
Wesker: We force it to eat these. As many as we can. While it's finally stunned due to the constant messages being sent to its brain, we remove its coat and incinerate its heart. As for Storm and Amaterasu...we're going to have to improvise.
Morrigan: How do we even know they're behind this?
Wesker: We don't. But what other explanation do we have?
X-23: We got nothing to lose at this point. What do you think, Dante?
Dante: We'll be fine. Zombies are slow, something we aren't. The real worry is Nemesis, but even then..he's a bit sluggish too.
Jill: No he isn't. He can sprint like She Hulk when he feels like it.
Dante: Well damn.
...
Dante: How the hell did you survive?
Jill: I'm freaking Jill Valentine!
Dante: Fair enough.
Felicia was still crying.
Spider-Man: Let's do it. I doubt my webbing will be able to stop the guy, but we'll see.
Morrigan: We have to try, I guess.
Deadpool: The people on the movie didn't survive though...
Wesker: They weren't smart enough to think of a plan like mine.
Dante: Yeah, fictional characters aren't smart. Everyone knows this.
Deadpool stared at Dante and pointed at the camera behind him. Dante turned around and caught you, the reader, watching him and reading his every move.
Dante: Dammit Deadpool.
Deadpool: They're always there...watching...it's creepy!
Chris: Maybe they're the ones that set us up!
Jill: Maybe they're the reason why he's so strong!
Arthur: Who are we talking about here?
Morrigan: Them! The viewers! The readers!
Wolverine: Do you enjoy seein' us struggle?
Spider-Man: Who wouldn't?
Wolverine: UNACCEPTABLE!
Deadpool: I wonder if we'll survive...
Dormammu: There are just some things...man was never meant to tamper with...
There was a beating on the door behind them.
BOOM.
BOOM.
The beating increased in frequency.
BOOM BOOM.
BOOM BOOM.
Faster.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM.
Faster.
BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM.
The cast got themselves ready in preparation for the Nemesis and his zombie minions. But little did they know, the entire house would soon be surrounded by his minions. And there would be no escape from the terror that awaited them.
The door burst open, and the zombies limped through the door. Nemesis stood at the back, grinning.
"Stars..."
Part 1 is done. Part 2 will be here before the 31st. As always, tell me what you think if you can!
What happened to Thor, Phoenix, Trish, Captain America, Magneto, Super Skrull, The Hulk, and Chun-Li?
We know Doctor Doom got blasted by a bazooka. We know Viewtiful Joe, C. Viper, and Spencer were zombified. We know Iron Man left.
Who's next?
We still have:
Dante
Chris
Deadpool
Jill
Spider-Man
X-23
Felicia
Dormammu
Zero
Arthur
Wolverine
She Hulk
Wesker
Morrigan
Which characters do you want to see gone next? Who do you think should make it through?
What's REALLY going on here?
Mwahahahaha.
