LIVING IN TWO WORLDS
EXTRA STORY
Percy
AT THE MVC3 HOUSE
A nice melody could be heard coming from the television in the living room, and Viewtiful Joe was completely enthralled by it. He sat in front of the grand television with his legs crossed over each other, Indian-style, and he bounced up and down in place to the beat of the tune.
"They're fluffy and so cuddly! They're peppy and they're bubbly! They turn that frown upside down! Life's not the same when they're not around!"
Viewtiful Joe hummed and grinned with stars in his eyes. The commercial on television was none other than the "Super Fluff Breeder's Miniature Horse Collection".
The variety of horses on the television were endless: Red, Brown, Black, Blue, Green, Spotted, Bald...you name it and there was probably a horse for you. Viewtiful Joe could care less about the horses though, because all he wanted was to listen to the tune. The individual sitting next to him, however, was completely bedazzled by the large assortment of horses. Deadpool was in love.
Deadpool: I want one.
Viewtiful Joe: A horse? Why?
Deadpool: AREN'T YOU LISTENING!? CUTE, FLUFFY, AND CUDDLY...those are like...the only qualities people need to survive for the rest of their lives!
Viewtiful Joe: ...Are you high?
Deadpool: If love was a drug...I just overdosed. Joe! Help me get a horse! I guarantee everyone else will reject my dreams!
Viewtiful Joe: We don't need a horse man. We don't need pets. We already have Wolverine and Felicia.
Deadpool gave Viewtiful Joe his puppy-dog look.
Viewtiful Joe: Deadpool...you're not getting me caught in your web of craziness. If you even mention this idea to Iron Man or anyone else, they're going to flip.
Deadpool: But I want one...
Viewtiful Joe: If you get one, I'll help you take care of it. But as far as helping you get one...I'll pass, bro. Sorry.
Deadpool: Fine. Who needs you anyway? I'll get a horse! You'll see!
Deadpool ran to the back-door with tears in his eyes. Before he reached for the knob, he turned around and shook his fist.
Deadpool: YOU'LL ALL SEE!
After this, he turned the knob, stepped through the door and slammed it behind him. Viewtiful Joe shrugged and turned to the newest episode of "The Silver Samurai Returns".
Super-Skrull, Amaterasu, and She Hulk walked in after Deadpool's slam, and they all eyed Viewtiful Joe with concern.
Amaterasu: (What happened?)
Viewtiful Joe: Deadpool happened. The usual moodswings.
Super Skrull: Geez. That's the third one this week!
She Hulk: What is he crying about this time?
Viewtiful Joe: I dunno. He got up and ran off because I'm watching Silver Samurai.
Amaterasu: (Really?)
Viewtiful Joe looked at Amaterasu calmy. He scratched the back of his head and cut his eye at She Hulk.
Viewtiful Joe: Yeah...
In the kitchen, Iron Man and Nemesis were at the table drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.
Iron Man: Sheesh. Stock market just went down by four percent. Hopefully it won't affect my shares...
Nemesis turned his head toward Iron Man, slowly, and responded very bluntly.
Nemesis: Stars...
Iron Man: You think so? I like the way you think, Nemesis.
Nemesis turned his head back to his coffee. He took a sip and growled as he gently put the cup down.
Iron Man: What? Too much creamer?
Nemesis nodded.
Wolverine, Taskmaster, Chris, Ryu, Super Skrull and Phoenix all walked into the kitchen afterward, followed by Vergil, Doctor Doom, Rocket Raccoon, and Zero.
Chris hurriedly opened the refrigerator and his eyes almost popped out of his head.
Chris: I KNEW IT. SOMEONE IS EATING ALL THE EGGS.
Wolverine: Ain't me, bub. I can't stand brown eggs.
Chris: It has to be the Hulk. There's no other person. It HAS to be. I swear to God..I'm just going to buy my own freaking chicken and-
Vergil: -Where's Deadpool?
Chris: I KNEW IT! IT WAS DEADPOOL! HE WAS MY PRIME SUSPECT THE ENTIRE TIME!
Vergil: ...No, really. Where is he? We were supposed to have our sparring session today. He's skimping on his training. I guess you'll have to be my partner again, Zero.
Zero sighed and was seconds from smashing his head against the wall.
Zero: What about Taskmaster? Or Dante? Come on, Vergil! I'm exhausted!
Vergil: You're a robot. You don't tire.
Taskmaster: Yeah. I'm staying out of that shit.
Vergil: Taskmaster, come. Both of you will be my partners.
Zero & Taskmaster: Fuck.
Wolverine laughed as he looked over Tony Stark's shoulder. His eyes focused on something when he began to read the newspaper...something that Tony may have missed out on.
Wolverine: What's that ad over there? Miniature horses?
Iron Man: Yeah, I read that. It's all some propaganda stunt by that Shadaloo Company. You can't trust those guys.
Wolverine: Why are they breedin' miniature horses though? That's for pansies.
Iron Man: Yeah, you SAY that. Kids fall in love with those horses, they bring them home, and the horses wreak havoc. The horses are supposedly spies or something. They steal your credit card info, personal files, and all that good stuff. And then Shadaloo comes in, tells their lies, and rakes in all the money. Probably some other sinister stuff associated with that, but you get the idea.
Doctor Doom: Interesting...
Iron Man: Smart business tactic. They use actual horse breeders as scapegoats, so the blame can't be traced to them.
Viewtiful Joe walked into the kitchen and almost soiled his pants after hearing that.
Viewtiful Joe: Uhh...I think I should go water the flowers outside...
She Hulk: Already covered, Joe.
Viewtiful Joe: Uhhh...I'll wash clothes today!
Ryu: Already done, Joe! I even separated the whites and the coloreds!
Phoenix wiped tears from her eyes.
Phoenix: He grows up so fast...
Nemesis was perplexed. He turned around in his chair and looked at Chris. He pointed and grinned.
Nemesis: Stars?
Chris: No, Nemesis. EGGS. We have no EGGS.
Nemesis: Stars...?
Chris: Nemesis...don't taunt me please. You're going to make me cry, I swear.
Vergil: Why not just call Morrigan? She's at the grocery store, I think.
Super Skrull: Yeah right. Shopping for men's private parts, probably.
Vergil: …...Eugh.
Phoenix: Chris. Watch your mouth.
Taskmaster: It's true! She had like...five-
Nemesis covered his eyes, got up, and ran into the wall.
Nemesis: STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRSSSSS!
Ryu: Huh? What game are you playing, Nemesis? Hot potato? May I join?
Nemesis tilted his head sideways and stared at Ryu.
Nemesis: Stars?
Vergil: Let's go, Zero. You too, Taskmaster.
Vergil turned around and walked toward the back-door, with Taskmaster and Zero walking slowly behind him. The two hung their heads in depression, and drug their feet as they walked.
Dante, X-23, Spider-Man, and Felicia walked in right they left, and Dante wiped his forehead in relief.
Dante: I was waiting for him to leave...
Spider-Man: That's a shame. Hiding from your own flesh and blood! For shame, Dante. FOR SHAME.
Felicia: Yeah, FOR SHAAAAAME!
Dante: You gotta be joking. Vergil doesn't know how to relax. The guy would be the perfect military colonel.
Wolverine: With hair like that?
Dante: Good point.
Chris: I'm going to kill Deadpool...I'm going to go into egg withdrawal, and this guy thinks he can just waltz out like that? Wait till I get my hands around his neck...
Shadaloo Pet Store
Deadpool examined the tall building that stood in front of him as he trudged through the heart of Metro City. He eyed the sign to the right, "MINIATURE HORSES FOR SALE", and was instantly filled with glee. As he sprinted for the door, he saw children walking out of the building with their miniature horses following them; their parents weren't so giddy, however. One child hugged his horse, and the horse hugged back.
Deadpool: AWWWW!
Deadpool ran toward building and peeked through the glass. He saw so many different horses that he became cross-eyed. He marched to the front door and opened it in an anxious fury, demanding someone's assistance.
Deadpool: Hello?
A shadowy figure with a cape sat on a giant lawnchair at the very end of the building. The floors were perfect marble, and one could tell that however owned this building was very tidy; if you smiled at the floors, they would smile back. The shadowy figure slowly stood and turned toward Deadpool with a super-white grin on his face. He wore a burgundy uniform, like he was some sort of military captain and he even wore a hat on his head like a military leader. He had brown boots with silver shin-guard looking plates on them, and his purple cape flapped as he walked.
?: Welcome to the Shadaloo Eastern Branch: Animal Foundation. To whom I owe this pleasure?
Deadpool eyed the mysterious man and quickly pointed at the horses.
Deadpool: Can I have one?
The mysterious figure burst into maniacal laughter the moment Deadpool finished.
?: Of course you can, boy. Which would you like?
Deadpool gasped. He looked all around for about six seconds until he laid eyes on a sky-blue horse that had a perfect white mane. White hair covered the little horse, and its eyes could soften even the most hardass people in the world. The horse looked sad, however, like it had been abused, and as soon as Deadpool pointed at it..it began to smile.
Deadpool: THAT ONE!
?: A fine choice, my friend.
Deadpool: So, what do I have to do?
?: You take him home with you. My only request, is that you pay 50 dollars. Acceptable?
Deadpool: Shut up and take my money!
Deadpool threw over 100 dollars to the suspicious man and ran over to claim his pet. He grabbed it and ran back toward the door before the shadowy figure stopped him in his tracks.
?: I will warn you, boy. Don't let its cuteness...kill you. Heh heh heh.
Deadpool paid no heed to the man's words and instead, he dashed through the door laughing at the top of his lungs; finally gaining what he wanted. As the door slammed behind him, the mysterious figure chuckled and walked back to his desk. As he sat down and counted his money, the nameplate on his desk shined.
It read: "My Name Is M. Bison".
Back at the MVC3 House
Magneto was outside trimming the hedges. As he finally finished one section, he took off his helmet and wiped his forehead.
Magneto: Perfection. Absolutely perfect hedges. Magneto, you have outdone yourself.
The mailman, Balrog, peddled by on his bike and stopped right before he got to the mailbox. Balrog was an African-American boxer, who looked much like Mike Tyson. Everyday, after his morning training, he would ride by and deliver the mail when the usual mailman wasn't running. He was a substitute, you can say.
Magneto turned around and looked at Balrog, confused.
Balrog: MAIL, SUCKA.
Balrog flung the mail and hit Magneto right in his face. Balrog laughed hysterically and peddled off, leaving Magneto fuming in anger. As Magneto began to chase the evil mailman, he stopped suddenly and looked to his left. When he looked, he saw Vergil, Taskmaster, and Arthur in the yard. Vergil was shaking his head about something, and Magneto didn't want to have any part of it.
Vergil: Come on, guys. Focus! You won't get any better if you keep screwing up!
Taskmaster: You're working us like horses in the early 1800s. We're fucking TIRED, Vergil.
Arthur huffed and puffed from under all his armor and quickly nodded in agreeance.
Vergil: In order to master the blade...YOU. MUST. BE. DEDICATED.
Taskmaster: WE. ARE. EXHAUSTED. YOU. BIG. DUMMY.
Vergil: That's it. Fifty laps from you, Taskmaster.
Taskmaster: Oh come on!
Arthur: Vergil...I plead with you. Let us enjoy a small rest, yes? You need one too.
Vergil: You guys are weak. Why can't you be like Zero? He's dedicated! Look!
They all turned to look through the window in the distance. Inside, they all saw Zero sitting on the couch, pointing and laughing at what he was seeing on television. Zero told Vergil that he needed a bathroom break in order to escape training, but Zero had been gone for atleast 20 minutes. As soon as Zero caught Vergil's glance, he immediately stood up and began swinging his Z Saber wildly.
Vergil: See? That's dedication.
Taskmaster: The guy was watching TV!
Arthur: You saw him!
Vergil: Oh, was he now? We'll fix that.
Vergil's scowl covered his entire face as he stormed toward the backdoor in order to reprimand Zero and lecture him. Taskmaster and Arthur gave each other a sly look and high-five'd each other.
Taskmaster: He's going to kick Zero's ass now...maybe we'll catch a break this time!
Arthur: Indeed!
Vergil came back with Zero following him, depressed. As Vergil made his way back to the group, he snapped his fingers and numerous swords appeared, circling all three of his apprentices.
Vergil: Fifty laps for all of you. If you stop, one blade is going straight up your buttocks until there are NO. MORE. BLADES.
…
Vergil: Then, I'll just summon more.
Arthur, Taskmaster, and Zero screamed.
In the Kitchen
Iron Man looked up from the stove and peered out of the small window in front of him.
Iron Man: What the hell was that?
Dante sat at the table peeling the outside of an orange. He glanced over at Chris and laughed.
Dante: 'Prolly Vergil and his Three Stooges.
X-23: Would have been four if he caught you.
Dante: But that's the thing, my dear Laura...I am Dante. I can't get caught. I'm too smooth. Smooth like butter in July, baby.
Wolverine: HA! I'll bust a gut if he just appears out of thin air and catches you, bub.
Dante: Please.
Chris had his head down on the table as he fiddled with his Revolver gun.
Chris: I can't believe Deadpool ate all my freaking eggs. I'm losing it. I seriously am. I'm starting to see little children in the field playing with chickens and the chickens are shitting eggs and I can't reach them. THEY'RE TAUNTING ME.
Spider-Man was on the ceiling, dangling from a web while upside-down.
Spider-Man: Wow, Chris. Might want to check with a therapist about that. I hear that's what Super-Skrull went to school for.
Iron Man: Where is Skrull?
Felicia: He's in his room with Doctor Doom! They were talking about...playing cards?
Wolverine: Hmm...
Wolverine hopped off of his chair and walked down the hall to their room. The door was closed, but Wolverine slowly opened it and pushed it forward a bit. He peeked through the crack and caught Super-Skrull and Doctor Doom watching "Real Housewives of Metro City".
…
Wolverine pulled the door shut.
Wolverine: I'm not touchin' that with a ten-foot pole, bub.
He walked back into the kitchen and aided Tony Stark in making pancakes.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.
As everyone in the kitchen and living room turned around to see who was at the backdoor, Chris's eyes lit up in a fiery fury. He dashed from his chair to the front door and pointed his gun at the individual at the door.
It was Deadpool, and he had a cardboard box on the floor beside him. A...moving...cardboard box.
Viewtiful Joe, Hulk, Phoenix, Trish, Amaterasu, and She-Hulk sat on the couch in the living room together.
Hulk: THE BOX MOVES. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!?
Deadpool: Uhh...this is my box. See? I..uhh..gotta take it with me as an experiment.
She Hulk: ...An experiment?
Deadpool: Yeah. Yaknow...Wesker...that guy is kooky! I need to go to my room so bye...
Deadpool kicked the box and he walked off with the box following him. The box was peculiar though, because every time it moved, it would twitch...as if it had touched an electrical socket or something. Chris wasn't having it though. Chris grabbed Deadpool by his collar and pointed his gun at his face. Foam slid from Chris's mouth as he spoke, and Deadpool was terrified.
Chris: WHAT HAPPENED TO MY EGGS, WADE?!
Deadpool: I didn't touch your eggs, Chris! Scout's honor!
Spider-Man: Yeah, I don't think Wade is much of an egg-eater. Ever since I egg'd his apartment that one time I don't think he's been a big fan of eggs.
Deadpool glared at the web-slinger.
Deadpool: That was YOU?! I blamed Cable for that!
Spider-Man: Whoops.
Chris let Deadpool go. He began to scratch his head with both hands and after much thought, he looked up at the clock which was now shaped as an egg.
Chris: I can't take this anymore...
Deadpool: By the way, Hulk totally ate your eggs.
Chris: I KNEW IT. I KNEW IT WAS YOU!
Hulk: Hulk didn't eat your eggs! Hulk don't like raw eggs! Hulk crush eggs when he picks them up!
Chris: So...if it wasn't you then...who?
Ryu: Woah! Moving box! What's inside?
Deadpool: Nothing!
Wolverine: Good question, Ryu. Wade, what's in there? Don't lie to us.
Deadpool began to sweat profusely.
Deadpool: I have no idea what you're talking about! Uhh...so, Magneto has the mail. There's a check in there for like...20,000 bucks for Tony Stark and-
Iron Man's ears perked up like a dog. He quickly abandoned his kitchen mission and ran outside.
Iron Man: Hot diggity dog! Finally, I got my residual check!
Spider-Man: Did Tony just say, "hot diggity dog!"? I don't know what to think about that.
Dante: Yeah...me either.
As everyone was flustered over Tony's phrases and sudden excitement, Deadpool quietly snuck down the hall with his box in his arms. Rocket Raccoon was coming out of the bathroom however, and Deadpool's legs bumped into Rocket's head.
Rocket Raccoon: HEY HEY HEY. Watch where yer goin', Wade.
Deadpool: Sorry! I gotta get to my room!
Rocket Raccoon was puzzled. He tilted his head upward and began to sniff around Deadpool's proximity.
Rocket Raccoon: What's that smell?
Deadpool: I've got awful gas today...those beans last night totally destroyed my-
Rocket Raccoon: Thor didn't make beans last night, Wade. He's the only one that makes beans around here...
Deadpool: Oh...well, yeah..youknow, he gave me his recipe so I-
Rocket Raccoon: -Don't even try that with me, Wade. What's in the box? Smells like a furry...I think I recognize it...
Deadpool: No! Rocket! You just need to take a shower, yaknow? I think Captain America accidentally dropped...uhh...a rotten egg on your head and that's what you're smelling. That's why Chris is so pissed!
Rocket Raccoon: Do you really think I'm that stupid? I'm insulted, Wade.
Deadpool: Listen, Rocket. PLEASE, don't tell anyone.
Rocket Raccoon: You've got my word. What is it? A miniature horse, isn't it?
Deadpool: Yeah...how did you know?
Rocket Raccoon: I know these things Deadpool. I conquered the Animal Kingdom in my prime.
Deadpool: So...you won't tell? Iron Man would flip his shit if he found out...
Rocket Raccoon: You can count on me.
Deadpool: Thank you Rocket! I'm going to go to my room and comb its hair for all of eternity! Hee hee!
Deadpool ran off giggling like a madman as he opened and slammed his door loudly, leaving Rocket with a concerned expression on his face.
OUTSIDE
Iron Man was bamboozled.
Iron Man: Where the hell is my check?
Magneto: That fool lied to you. There IS no check.
Iron Man: You took it, didn't you?
Magneto: Tony Stark, I'm going to warn you now; if you honestly believe Deadpool then you're just as crazy as he is.
Iron Man: I want my check goddammit!
Spider-Man: What do you need a check for, Tony? Seriously. You're so loaded that you could use that check as general tissue paper.
Phoenix: Indeed. Why are you so upset?
Iron Man: That's my residual check! It's not the money that matters...it's the meaning behind it. The company that I delivered my invention to finally caved in and recognized its greatness!
Phoenix: ...And?
Iron Man: And...that means I won! But since its not here, it makes me more angry because now I have to wait longer for the inevitable!
She Hulk: Tony...you have some issues.
Hulk: Methinks that-
Hulk sniffed the air and gagged almost instantly.
Hulk: What is that smell?
Taskmaster burst out from the bushes and hedges screaming wildly and in a craze. He shifted his head left to right rapidly as if he was looking for something, and he instantly ran toward The Hulk.
Taskmaster: That guy is crazy...he made us run laps and then...and then...he...threatened to make me eat mayonnaise...
Wolverine: That ain't so bad as long as it's on a sandwich.
Taskmaster: No...RAW mayonnaise...
Everyone gagged, and Spider-Man nearly vomited. Vergil could be heard in the backyard calling for Taskmaster, but Taskmaster covered his ears and ran off down the road.
Rocket Raccoon and Deadpool showed up outside minutes later, but Deadpool was extremely antsy.
Rocket Raccoon: I think you owe Tony an apology, dontcha, Wade? From what ya told me, you tricked him something awful.
Iron Man: Yeah, I'm waiting.
Deadpool: I'm sorry! I really am! You guys just scared me because you pressured me! There was nothing in the box except for my remote control car!
Hulk: Why didn't you just show us? Hulk wonders.
Deadpool: Because I didn't want to be viewed as a child!
Magneto: Believe me, we STILL view you that way.
Deadpool: Well, it's over now. I'm sorry. Can I go back to my room? The plot can't continue until I do.
Phoenix: What?
Amaterasu: (He's speaking gibberish again.)
Deadpool quickly dashed off back into the house. He sprinted full speed back to his room, but what he discovered frightened him; the horse was gone.
Deadpool: Percy? Percy?
Deadpool thrust both of his fists into the air and fell to his knees.
Deadpool: PEEEEEEERRRRRRRRCCCCCCCCCYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Downstairs, in the gym facility
Captain America was enjoying a nice workout session as he ran on the treadmill. The gym facility contained every piece of exercise equipment one could ask for, and Cap spent a lot of time in the area. As he ran, he looked up at the television screen above him and watched the news.
On the news, Phoenix Wright was winning a court case involving Frank West and some scandal where he supposedly leaked a bunch of nude pictures of females all over the internet.
Captain America: That is some odd stuff. I wonder how that is going to turn out?
As Captain America huffed and puffed, the door to the gym facility creaked open...and a familiar figure creeped inside. The figure slowly made its way for Captain America, and Captain America was completely oblivious. He kept running on the treadmill as sweat poured from his forehead, but he had 10 more miles to run. He kept at a steady pace, but suddenly the treadmill stopped and Captain America went flying backward into the wall.
CRRRRAAAASSHHHHHH.
Captain America was stunned. As he glanced up, he saw his assailant. He groaned in pain, but when he looked...he didn't recognize the figure.
Captain America: What...what are you?
?: I'm a horse. This is what I must do.
It was the miniature horse. As it frowned at Captain America, it raised one hoof into the air...and proceeded to stomp on Captain America's face. After the repeated trouncing, it bit into Captain America's leg...and trotted off nonchalantly.
Upstairs in Dante's Room
"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLPPPPP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
Dante's ears perked up at the loud scream coming from below them.
Dante: What was that?
X-23: I dunno...sounded like someone's in pain or something.
Chris: It's probably Captain America. He's the only one downstairs I think. He probably pulled another hamstring.
Jill: More than likely.
Dante was playing his guitar, Nevan, in his room. Every stroke produced a current of electricity that would fry him every so often, and Nevan would giggle every time. The guitar was actually alive, and it came from one of the bosses in Devil May Cry 3 that Dante had to defeat. In fact, one could make the argument that every one of Dante's weapons was alive.
Dante: Man. I just have no inspiration. I can't come up with a song to save my life.
X-23: You'll think of something. You're persistent.
Chris: Yeah. I thought you had something in the making?
Dante: I did. But I don't think it'll be a hit like during Christmas last time.
Jill: Play that, then.
Dante: If you insist...
Dante pulled out sheets of paper from under his bed and booted up his laptop. After the laptop instantly loaded, he pulled out his guitar and sat in a peculiar fashion. He crossed one leg squarely over the other, and held the guitar close to him with his head down.
Chris: What are you doing, praying?
Dante: Quiet! I've got this...
Song time. Dante adopted his singing voice as Felicia, Ryu, Chun-Li, and Spider-Man walked in, with Wesker listening from the hallway. Not only this, but the miniature horse also listened from the darkness of the bathroom across the hall. It moved quickly, and hid to the best of its ability. As it sat in the middle of the bathroom, it frowned..but instantly smiled once Dante began to sing.
But still you weren't around...
You wanted to sail away tonight
But still you weren't around...
Just tell me where I should wait
You oughta just turn around...
You oughta think on it some more
But still you weren't around...
You oughta stay
Dante stroked his guitar to begin the song.
If I have to go, just tell me where
Have to go, just tell me where
If I have to go, just tell me where
Tell me what it takes to win you...
If I have to go, just tell me where
Have to go, just tell me where
If I have to go, just tell me where I can...
Don't care, if I have to travel to...to the end of universe
Don't care, if it takes eternity...the history of mankind
Don't care, if I have to devote...my whole life
Waiting...
I will never leave...
X-23's eyes lit up as Dante sang his song, and even Wesker began to tear up. He took off his shades and wiped his eyes, and as soon as his eyes began to focus again...Deadpool was about two centimeters away from his face.
Deadpool: HAVE YOU SEEN PERCY!?
Wesker: Who?
Deadpool: MY HORSE! HAVE YOU SEEN IT!? PERCY IS MISSING AND I'M DEVASTATED!
Wesker: Who in the name of Uroboros is Percy!? A horse? I have not seen a horse...why do you have a horse?
Deadpool: You don't understand!
Wesker: Obviously I don't, Deadpool!
Dante was growing increasingly frustrated as the two yelled outside of his door. Ryu went to investigate.
Ryu: What's happening guys?!
Deadpool: MY HORSE IS MISSING, RYU!
Ryu: Horse? Isn't that a basketball game? My friend Sean from Street Fighter 3 taught me how to-
Deadpool: -No, Ryu. The animal! My horse! Percy! Is gone!
Deadpool's words were all jumbled and erratic. Wesker chuckled as Deadpool stuttered and used numerous hand gestures that didn't mean anything.
Ryu: I have not seen a horse here!
Wesker: Yes, Deadpool. There IS no horse. We haven't seen anything. You need to go see your therapist for your weekly checkup, don't you? Maybe go talk to Super-Skrull. I heard he went to school for that...
Deadpool: I. Am. Not. Crazy. I bought Percy from the..uhh...animal foundation or whatever and it's mine! It's my friend and if Iron Man finds it, I am so screwed! You guys have to help me!
The miniature horse, Percy, could hear everything from the bathroom right behind them. It smiled very hard at first, but eventually began to frown as it twitched in place.
Ryu and Wesker looked at each other, totally confused.
Wesker: Alright, Deadpool. We got it covered.
Deadpool: Thank you guys! Bless your little hearts...
Deadpool looked up, turned around, and skipped off shouting for his lost horse. Ryu and Wesker chuckled as he left the hallway, and the two walked into Dante's room where it was already crowded enough.
Dante: What the hell was that? Totally ruined my flow...
X-23: I wanted to hear the rest of it...what happened out there?
Wesker: Deadpool is up to his usual insanity. He claims he bought a horse from some animal foundation and the horse has gone missing...
Chris: A horse in the house?
Dante: How could you lose a freaking horse?
Chun Li: Animal foundation? Wasn't Deadpool the one that threatened to sue PETA because they wouldn't give him a penguin?
Spider-Man: Why does he need a horse for a pet? We already have Wolverine the Chinchilla.
Ryu: A chin...huh? What is on Wolverine's chin?
Spider-Man: It's an animal, Ryu...
Ryu smiled.
X-23: Alright..so now that that is out of the way, can you start over?
Felicia: Yeah, start over Dante!
Dante: Alright, alright..if you insist. An encore, eh?
Chris: Wait a minute...what's going on outside?
Wesker: Magneto is probably streaking again. He really needs to lay off the alcohol...
Everyone turned around to look out of Dante's window, and they saw numerous figures sprinting at full speed through the yard.
OUTSIDE
Taskmaster, Zero, and Arthur were dead tired. They had just finished sprinting around the house 75 times and were at the brink of death. Taskmaster wheezed and could barely breathe as he lie on the ground.
Taskmaster: I think I am seriously going to leave this world.
Arthur: My friend...I'm right behind you.
Zero: You guys don't even know what it's like for me. My E-Tank is running on empty...and when that happens...my body uses energy from...other...places...
Taskmaster: Holy shit...
Arthur closed his eyes as he lie on the ground, close to incapacitation.
WEEEEEOOOOOO WEEEEOOOOOO WEEEEEOOOOOO
An ambulance could be heard screeching in the distance. The red and white vehicle swerved into the yard, putting on brakes immediately as it crossed the yard.
Taskmaster: Look! Our saviors!
Arthur: Praise the Goddess!
Zero: Over here! Come and take us!
Three figures jumped out from the ambulance and ran right past the three exhausted soldiers.
Taskmaster: What the FUCK!? We're the ones that need rescuing!
As soon as Taskmaster uttered his last word, Vergil appeared and stood over the three. He shook his head as he clenched the sheath of his katana.
Vergil: You guys need some motivation.
Vergil reached within his coat pockets and pulled out a very familiar jar of mayonnaise. As he held it up to the sun, Taskmaster's eyes grew to extreme sizes as his mouth dropped and drool slid from it.
Arthur: Goddess...
Zero: Vergil...please ….
Vergil: Get motivated.
Taskmaster: SHIT. SHIT.
The ambulance crew burst through the backdoor with someone on a stretcher. As they dashed to place the individual inside of the rescue vehicle, the man on the stretcher gave a thumbs-up.
Vergil: What happened to Captain America?
One of the rescue workers was a man named Rolento, an ex-army official that quit to pursue his dreams of being a surgeon. Another worker was a man named Nightcrawler, who always used his powers to heal people physically and spirtually. His teleportation powers made him invaluable during rescue operations. The last worker was a woman named Rebecca Chambers, who was the rookie when it came to rescue services.
Nightcrawler: Severe head trauma. Unknown cause. Bless Captain America's soul. We will have him back to the world of the living.
Rolento: TEN HUT, SOLDIER. WE NEED TO GET HIM TO THE EVAC ZONE PRONTO! MOVE, MOVE, MOVE!
Rebecca: I'm pushing as fast as I can, Rolento!
Rolento saluted Taskmaster, Arthur, and Zero as they lie on the floor. Instead of pushing the stretcher, he made Nightcrawler and Rebecca do all of the work, and he just rolled in behind them. No, seriously..the guy would curl up and roll around like a bowling ball as his means of transportation.
As the ambulance blared off into the distance, Vergil sat in the yard..dumbfounded.
In Spencer's Room
Spencer, Dormammu, Ghost Rider, and Thor were all playing cards at a table in the middle of the room. Spencer had a noticeable river of sweat shooting down his face as he trembled with cards in his hands. Dormammu was on the brink of erupting into laughter, but he had to wait until the game was over to do so. Spencer was losing the poker game by a huge margin, and a comeback seemed impossible.
Ghost Rider: Whatcha got, Spencer? Last game, right here. You better pull a miracle out of those dreadlocks.
Thor: Indeed. The match is almost decided...
Dormammu: What you got, Spencer?
Spencer cursed under his breath repeatedly as he hid his face behind his cards. He almost began to cry due to frustration, but he would fight until the very end. Something brushed against his leg from under the table, and while everyone else began to chat with each other, he looked under the table and saw something strange. It was the miniature horse, and it held a card in its mouth trying to give it to Spencer. Spencer took the card and swapped it with one of his bad cards so the horse would take it, then he slammed all of his cards on the table.
Spencer: HA! I WIN. FULL HOUSE, BABY!
Dormammu looked at the cards in awe. Spencer was right.
Dormammu instantly fainted because since Spencer won that hand, it made Dormammu the loser.
Ghost Rider: How in the name of hellfire did you pull that off?
Spencer: I had it the entire time. I was just waiting for you guys to get your taunts off your chests.
Thor: Preposterous!
Spencer: No, Thor. I'm just a really good faker!
As Spencer looked under the table again, the horse was gone. He smiled to himself and slapped his knee in relief.
Rocket Raccoon also witnessed this turn of events from the window, and he rubbed his chin in curiosity. The horse made its way out of the door and back into the hallway but as it did so, it twitched and yelped.
Rocket Raccoon: That horse is gonna cause problems here.
In the living room
Chris was angry, once again. The more he thought about his eggs, the angrier he got.
Chris: I need a fried egg...someone hold me...
Chris rocked back and forth in the corner while sucking his thumb. There were bags under his eyes, and he his hair was extremely messy from scratching it so much.
Chun-Li: Is Chris okay?
Jill: I...I don't know...
Viewtiful Joe: He looks like a crack addict that...has no crack.
Spider-Man: I'm telling you, Super Skrull can help. He went to school for psychology!
Super Skrull walked into the living room at that exact moment.
Super Skrull: HAHAHAHA! You are correct, Peter. Let me take a look at him.
Super Skrull walked over to Chris and examined him.
Super Skrull: Hmm. Yes...yes...hmm...I see...okay!
Spider-Man: So, what's wrong with him?
Super Skrull: He's fucked up, that's what's wrong with him.
Dante chuckled.
Chun-Li: Wow. You're so helpful, Skrull.
Ryu: Do me next, Skrull! Can you therapy me?
Super Skrull: Can I...what now? Can I therapy you? Is that English?
Ryu: What am I thinking!?
Super Skrull looked Ryu right in his eyes.
…
Ryu: How did you know!?
Felicia and X-23 died of laughter. Chun-Li just shook her head.
While the cast members talked in the living room, the miniature horse sat in the background. It listened to everything. It was smiling with eyes full of intrigue, but the horse was starting to look wore out. It did not move as quickly as it once did..and it crept around in a cumbersome manner, clearly distressed about something. It creeped around in the background and into the kitchen where Nemesis was STILL reading the newspaper. He was reading it, but he couldn't tell you what he was reading if you asked him.
Nemesis: STARS! Stars? Stars.
The horse crept over to Nemesis and stared up at the tyrant. Nemesis dropped his newspaper and caught the horse's glance. Nemesis had his usual grin on his face and turned toward the horse.
Nemesis: Stars?
The horse was confused. It tilted its head to the right in an attempt to understand Nemesis, but it was completely baffled.
Nemesis: Staaaaaaaarsssssss...
The horse opened its mouth.
Horse: Stars?
Nemesis flinched and fell out of his chair.
Nemesis: GRRRAAAAAAAHHHHHH!
The members in the living room were alarmed. As they ran to see what was wrong with Nemesis...they all encountered Percy, the horse. Viewtiful Joe was seconds from ruining his pants.
Wesker: Is that...Deadpool's horse?
Ryu: WOAH! Give it a carrot!
Dante: Don't touch that thing! It's Deadpool's horse? There's no telling what that thing is planning. It could have a suicide bomb attached to its posterior or something...
Spider-Man slowly turned his head toward Dante.
Spider-Man: Posterior?
Dante: ...Booty? Is that better?
Spider-Man: Much. I was worried about you for a second.
X-23: But..it's so cute though..
Felicia: Yeah! It looks harmless! Aww...what should we name it?
Spider-Man: How about, Spider-Horse? There's already a Spider-Pig...
Super Skrull: How about no?
Spider-Man: Killjoy.
Chun-Li: It's so vulnerable and defenseless...leave it alone!
Nemesis ran behind the group and examined the horse from afar. The tyrant had never seen anything like it in all of its life.
Super Skrull: Is Nemesis afraid of the little horse?
Ryu: Give it a carrot!
?: I would be afraid of it too, If I were you.
Rocket Raccoon appeared from the living room with a toothpick in his mouth. He flicked the toothpick to the side and punched Ryu's leg.
Rocket Raccoon: That thing is bad news, guys. I've done the research.
X-23: Uhh...how? Look at it!
Rocket Raccoon: Looks can be deceiving, X-23. You should know that.
X-23: What are you trying to say?
Rocket Raccoon: I once thought you were just some lonely little innocent soul, but then I found out you had claws and a temper that could rival Wolverine's.
Dante: Uh oh...
Rocket Raccoon: Yeah, Dante. You haven't seen her on her bad days.
Dante: ...care to explain?
Rocket Raccoon: I can't. She beat the memory out of me so I couldn't tell anyone.
Dante slowly turned his head to X-23 with his mouth wide open, and her face slowly burned red.
Spider-Man: I smell domestic violence in the near future.
Wesker pushed up on his shades.
Wesker: Yep. She's definitely wearing the pants.
Ryu: I'm going to feed it a carrot!
Chun-Li: Shut up, Ryu! This is more interesting.
Jill: How do you feel, Dante?
Dante: ...I uhh...hey, why did we leave Chris unattended?
Spider-Man: Don't avoid us, Dante. You can't escape this time.
Felicia: Oooooo! Dante...we're waiting on your answer...hee hee!
Wesker smiled and even Nemesis was trying to listen, even though he didn't understand what was going on. Dante looked up at the ceiling as if asking God, "Why?"
Dante: Uhh...well, yaknow...maybe...you see...I just...look...how about...no...I can say that...
…
Dante: Crap.
Spider-Man burst into uncontrollable laughter as Felicia joined him on the floor. Chun-Li couldn't help but giggle as Dante stammered. The horse tried to feel the same happiness and emotion that Spider-Man and Felicia felt, but it couldn't. Instead, it just sat there...twitching more than usual...with a clear frown on its face.
Rocket Raccoon: Aren't you two gonna get married?
…
Dante's face distorted into one of the freakiest smiles ever made by him. He stared at Rocket Raccoon with a face that could only be visualized with an image. Look at it here: (actually, just message me if you want to see the image since I can't post the link within the chapter. It just shows up blank)
When Spider-Man caught a glimpse of Dante's hideous face, he howled with even more laughter and eventually began to snort as he laughed.
Spider-Man: MY RIBS. SWEET DAILY BUGLE, MY RIBS.
Wesker began to laugh due to Spider-Man's laughing, but the real matter at hand, the horse, was as confused as ever. It shook its head like it was having a headache.
Ryu: I'm going to give it a carrot!
Viewtiful Joe was still paralyzed with fear as he stared at the horse. As Ryu grabbed a carrot out of the fridge, he held it out to the horse and it began to neigh. Chun-Li fell in love with the horse, and as it pranced toward Ryu's hand, she imagined herself hugging it and playing with it.
The horse quickly lunged forward and bit the carrot so ferociously that it ended up biting Ryu's hand as well, and it latched on for dear life as Ryu ran around in pain.
Ryu: IT BIT ME. ALMIGHTY SHINKU, IT BIT ME!
The horse held on so hard that it crapped itself out of sheer concentration; it wanted that carrot badly. The horse didn't have normal feces, however...it crapped eggs. As the first egg was laid, it hit the floor; the familiar sound woke Chris up out of his trance and he immediately ran into the kitchen.
Chris: I HEARD EGGS.
Super Skrull: The horse! The horse craps eggs!
Chris: GIVE THEM TO ME.
Chris ran over to Ryu and began to pull the horse off of Ryu's hand with all of his might, but it was of no use. He stopped, ran over to Nemesis, pointed a magnum at Nemesis's face, and demanded that he remove the horse from Ryu's hand. Nemesis obliged, and easily removed the horse. The horse struggled to get away as it flailed in Nemesis' arms, but Nemesis held on tight and gave the horse to Chris.
Chris held the horse in his arms and cackled maniacally.
Chris: I want you to crap...and I want you to crap as hard as you can little horse...DO IT.
Chun-Li: Leave it alone, Chris!
Dante and X-23 were both still quiet after the recent events. Wesker and Super Skrull were flabbergasted, while Spider-Man and Felicia finally recovered from their hysterical laughing fit. Jill, however, was really concerned for Chris.
Rocket Raccoon: Chris! Put it down! You don't know what it will...
Everyone's eyes went wide at what was now happening.
Chris had the horse in the air, with its buttocks in his face and his mouth wide open. He wanted the horse to...well...put eggs in his mouth...
…
I know it's crude, but Chris is doing this. I didn't make him this way or anything. The guy wants his eggs.
Chun-Li gagged. Viewtiful Joe ran off down the hallway screaming "I DIDN'T DO IT", and Super-Skrull passed out. Nemesis pointed at the scene.
Nemesis: STARS!
?: PERCY!
Deadpool appeared in the kitchen with tears in his eyes. As he screamed at Chris Redfield, he tackled him and snatched Percy away from him. Chris didn't give up though. Chris drew his magnum and pointed it at Deadpool with foam coming from his mouth once again.
Chris: Give me the horse, Deadpool...
Deadpool backed away slowly while crying his eyes out.
Deadpool: This isn't you, Chris! Leave my Percy alone...it hasn't harmed anyone! Stop this!
Chris: GIVE. ME. THE. HORSE.
Deadpool: NOOOO!
As Deadpool turned to run, he bumped into a familiar individual that was standing behind him.
It was Vergil.
Vergil: Is there any water in the fridge?
Spider-Man: Yeah, there's like thirty bottles. Can't miss em.
Vergil: Nice.
As Vergil walked past the commotion, he grabbed four water bottles and walked back to the door.
Vergil: Hey, Dante.
Dante: Hello, Vergil.
Vergil had to do a double-take.
Vergil: No smartass comment today? Are you okay?
Dante: I'm fine, dear brother. Just...dandy.
Vergil was absolutely intrigued at this point.
Vergil: What happened in here?
Jill: Well, Rocket Raccoon told Dante about X-23's temper, Deadpool's horse bit Ryu's hand, it craps eggs, Chris tried to make it crap, and then he threatened to shoot Deadpool over the horse because Chris went into withdrawal because there are no eggs.
Vergil: …
…
Vergil: Later, guys.
Vergil opened the door and closed it behind him, obviously making no attempt to understand the situation.
Chris: Deadpool, I'm going to count to three. If you don't give me that egg goldmine, there's going to be more bullet holes in here than an Old Western saloon.
Ryu: My hand hurts...
Ryu's hand turned a deep purple due to the horse, and Ryu looked at Wesker worriedly. Wesker examined Ryu's hand with his handy magnifying glass and he came to one specific conclusion to Ryu's conundrum:
Wesker: Ryu, you have rabies.
Ryu: …
…
Ryu: But...I don't want babies. I'M NOT READY TO BE A PARENT. I CAN'T EVEN TIE MY OWN SHOES.
Super Skrull: Ryu, you don't wear shoes!
Ryu: I can't have babies...
Ryu had fully lost it.
Ryu: They're going to say, "Daddy, can you make me oatmeal?" And I'm going to say, "Okay baby! I'll make you oatmeal!"
…
Ryu: And then they will cry...and I will have to wake up to feed them oatmeal...every day...
Ryu: ...every night...
Ryu: And they'll cry...and clocks will tick and I will fall down the stairs and have to go make more oatmeal...
…
Ryu: And then they will attack me and call me a bad daddy because I can't make good oatmeal...
Ryu: I don't even know how to make oatmeal...
Ryu: And they'll say, "Daddy, why are you so stupid?" And I will have no choice but to tell them that I am Ryu.
Ryu began to bash himself with his own fist. He collapsed to the floor laughing hysterically.
Ryu: When does the train leave for Mexico? Tuesday? Okay, Mr! I'll trade you my jellybeans for your teeth! Super duper!
Dante was horrified.
Dante: That horse needs to go.
Wesker: Indeed. It will infect all of us with its rabies!
Deadpool: NO! It was a mistake! Look, Ryu gave it a carrot right? Of course it was going to bite him! It wouldn't bite anyone without any stimulation to do so!
Trish appeared out of nowhere.
Trish: Did someone say stimulation?!
Chris had his gun pointed toward Deadpool the entire time.
Wesker: Chris...shoot the horse. For the love of Uroboros, shoot that damn horse!
Rocket Raccoon: I told you guys! Spencer is probably flipping out in his room too.
Super Skrull woke up from his unconsciousness.
Super Skrull: What? Why?
Rocket Raccoon: I watched that horse. It helped Spencer win the poker game, but when the two exchanged cards, the horse bit down on Spencer's finger!
Chun-Li: It was a mistake!
Rocket Raccoon: No it wasn't! That horse has every intention of killing us all off and we can't let it live. I conquered the animal kingdom before...I know this horses' agenda. I know what it's after.
Dante: What do you mean?
Rocket Raccoon: The Shadaloo company...the children...cute and fluffy horses...the rabies infections...M. Bison...it all makes clear freakin' sense. These horses are Shadaloo's agents. They use these horses to infect people...so that they will go down to Shadaloo for treatment. But little will they know...Shadaloo will use these people for testing and engineering purposes! They TEST on PEOPLE. That's what M. Bison does! He's infamous for it! That piece of shit! I'm going to go guns blazing into his office and-
Deadpool: -NOOO! You don't understand. Percy isn't like that! Are you, Percy?
The horse looked up at Deadpool with stars in its eyes.
Nemesis: Stars?
Yes Nemesis, stars. Anyway, the horse looked as though it was on the verge of crying, and Deadpool was right alongside it. The door opened from behind Deadpool, and in walked Tony Stark.
Iron Man: Captain America is in the hospital. Vergil told me everything. Deadpool, let me see that horse.
Deadpool: I can't, Tony. Please...PLEASE don't make me...
Iron Man: Wade. You're not keeping that horse. After we put it down, we're taking down Shadaloo. Got it? All of those horses are going to be removed.
Deadpool: But it's not Percy's fault! It was manipulated by them...they FORCED it to become this way! That's why I rescued it!
Iron Man: That horse was tainted the moment it was born.
Wolverine walked in alongside Magneto, Phoenix, Hulk, and She Hulk.
Wolverine: Give it up, Wade. That horse is a problem and we don't need more problems.
Hulk: HULK CONCURS.
Wesker: LOOK at what it did to Ryu, Deadpool. You want that to happen to your friends?
Deadpool: I WILL NOT GIVE UP ON PERCY.
Iron Man: Wade...if you don't give up the horse...we're going to have to take it from you. And if we have to do that by force...then so be it.
Felicia gasped.
Deadpool: Go ahead, Tony. You're not taking it from me. The readers will get VIP front-row seats to the "Deadpool's Great Escape" chapter.
Iron Man: Heh. I know you're crazy, Wade...but even this is a new low for you.
Deadpool: Don't try me, Tony! I used to run track back in high school! I will sprint farther than Forrest Gump if you make me!
Morrigan had just got home from the...uhhh...grocery store.
Morrigan: Hi everyone! Here's your eggs, Chris. Thanks for texting me, darling.
Chris lowered his gun and eyed Morrigan.
Chris: You went to the grocery store?
Morrigan: Yeah. Where did you think I was?
Everyone stared at Super Skrull, and Morrigan cracked her knuckles immediately.
Morrigan: What did you say about me, Skrull?
Super Skrull: Well...you won't be hearing from me for the rest of this chapter. So long, readers.
Morrigan dragged Skrull down the hall by his ear to beat the everloving crap out of him.
Iron Man glared at Deadpool.
Iron Man: Wade.
Deadpool: DON'T MAKE ME GET MY RUNNING SHOES.
Iron Man: The horse.
Deadpool: TONY, STOP!
The horse had had enough. As it glared at Iron Man from within Deadpool's arms, it opened its mouth.
Percy: I...I can't control...myself...
Iron Man: What the hell?
Percy: I...Shadaloo...M. Bison...implants...I...am being...controlled...by him...to...sabotage...
Electric currents zapped the poor horse so that it would stop speaking. It twitched in Deadpool's arms.
Percy: Destroy...me...I've tried...so hard...to resist...
Tears fell from Deadpool's eyes.
Percy: I...never had anyone...that cared for me...
…
Percy: I was ordered...to...take out Captain America first...
…
Percy: Then Spencer...
Phoenix: Why?
Percy: M. Bison wanted them...he...wanted...a-all of you...
Rocket Raccoon: For testing...
Percy: He told me...to go...for the tyrant...Nemesis...
ZAP
Percy: BUT I...couldn't...
Percy: I was forced into this. We...all...were...
Deadpool: Percy...
Percy: I don't want to live like this...hurting others...once I saw you all...and your friendship...I was curious...
Wolverine: Then?
Percy: I felt...comfort...security...
Percy: The ramblings...the funny banter...the camaraderie all of you share...it reminded me of myself with my family...the others at Shadaloo's facility...
…
Percy: I couldn't go on...hurting you...I'm sorry...R-R-Ryu...he's FORCING ME TO-
ZAP
Percy: AAAHHHHHHHH!
Deadpool: PERCY!
Percy: No one has ever cared for me...like you, Wade...
…
Percy: Thank you for saving me...from my torment...
ZAP
Percy: The others...suffer the same fate...
ZAP
Percy: I only...hope...that they will find the same peace...that I've found...
Percy: …..You all...I enjoyed...my time here...despite...the harm I inflicted...and I learned...a lot...
…
Percy: Captain America...Ryu...and Spencer...use carrot juice...it will...restore them...
A giant jolt of electricity fried the horse from the inside out, and it was at the brink of giving up.
Percy: Thank you, Wade...for taking me...and all of you...for the enjoyment...that I had...observing you all...
Deadpool: Percy...I guess...maybe I do need to let you go...I...don't want you to suffer...
Percy: Don't care...if I have to travel to...the end of the universe...I'll still wait...for my brothers and sisters...and we'll sing songs...about Wade Wilson...Deadpool...
Dante: Hey...that's part of my song...
Percy: Will you...finish it...?
Dante pulled out Nevan immediately and walked over to the slowly degrading horse. Vergil, Arthur, Taskmaster, Zero, Ghost Rider, Dormammu, Doctor Doom, Thor, Morrigan, a beaten up Super Skrull, Magneto, and Amaterasu walked into the kitchen at that time.
But still you weren't around...
You wanted to sail away tonight
But still you weren't around...
Just tell me where I should wait
You oughta just turn around...
You oughta think on it some more
But still you weren't around...
You oughta slow-ly...get...to know me
Before I touch you and get caught up...in you.
If I have to go, just tell me where
Have to go, just tell me where
If I have to go, just tell me where
Tell me what it takes to win you
If I have to go, just tell me where
Have to go, just tell me where
If I have to go, just tell me where I can...
Don't care, if I have to travel to...to the end of universe
Don't care, if it takes eternity...the history of mankind
Don't care, if I'll ever see that life
Oh but it sounds so beautiful
I know, this is my destiny
Yes, I will never leave...
At this point, Spider-Man, Chris, Wesker, and even the debilitated Ryu joined in.
Sail to the end of time...
We'll all have a go...
But I'm still here waiting...for you
If I have to go, just tell me where
Have to go, just tell me where
If I have to go, just tell me where
Tell me what, it takes to win...you
If I have to go, just tell me where
Have to go, just tell me where
If I have to go, just tell me where to goooooooo
X-23 was completely in a trance by the end of the song; she just KNEW Dante made it for her, but she wasn't going to say anything about it. As Dante strummed the last verse on his guitar, he looked over at Percy...but the horse already had its eyes closed, smiling..awaiting peace with no more suffering. As the horse breathed heavily, Deadpool took the animal outside.
Iron Man nodded at Chris. As Chris walked with Deadpool, the merc looked up at Chris with complete dejection in his eyes. Chris couldn't help but feel bad, and the sorrow he felt overshadowed his withdrawal symptoms to the point where they didn't even exist anymore. Chris put his gun to the horse's skull...
Deadpool: Goodbye, Percy.
….and pulled the trigger.
POW.
END OF THE EXTRA STORY.
I made this mainly because of the fact that I lost a dog that I became very attached to to a disease called Parvo. I'm not going to go into my life story, but it got to the point where he would just trudge around, clearly in pain, and it was so bad that the vet couldn't do anything for him so they had to euthanize him. He must have had the disease for a while, before I met him..and I couldn't really tell early on. Since the disease is a virus, there wasn't much they could do. He was around for about a month, after someone put him out on the road..probably for that very reason. I personally took him in and tried to do what I could for him.
Sucks. But it's just one of those things that can't be avoided. Anyway, if you read this extra, I hope you enjoyed it and I hope I didn't make things TOO dark and depressing, because that wasn't my intention.
Now that I proofread it, it seems like I made a complete U-turn with the mood of the chapter...but it'll go back to the main plot after this.
ALSO! If you want to hear Dante's song, message me and I'll send you the link. It's a rock song, so if that's your cup of tea then you'll probably like it. The lyrics are a little hard to make out at times, but you'll get the gist. If anyone is interested, tell me what you think of it afterward because I have an idea for a chapter revolving around it later on.
