"Snide. A name that hasn't been heard from for a while since Sledge and his crew had crashed on earth, and so far their attention had been on rather important things. Such as working with a upcoming hero, learning that he's a half alien who's race are a conquering empire. However thinking about Snide again wasn't exactly a pleasant thing due to how Snide was just as worse as Omni Man. Only he didn't hide the type of monster he was, as well did it with a statistic smile on his face showing joy in the destruction. Meaning that for Mark, he would be facing someone that wouldn't hold anything back as well would go all out if he wasn't careful. Much less the Guardians since they to were new at facing a rather powerful threat, so they would have to focus and be ready for what might happen."


Iron Mile-Afternoon

Just as both teams had gotten their equipment and any other items they would require to handle Snide, in which they had arrived to the Mile noticing the building as well construction had been half way done. Taking a better look, Robot did a scan across the environment to see if there was any civilians or possibly anyone around that might be hurt. While he was doing so, the others were getting a explanation from Sledge about how dangerous Snide was.

"Now while you all may have seen the destruction of a Flaxan army and that of Omni Man. Snide is on a different level since he's been doing this for a while."

He started off as the group of heroes looked at the bounty hunter alien not knowing the experience he's had with Snide. Which he had Wrench pull out a recording of Snide that he was able to share with the others. Presenting it to the Guardians, they saw what he looked like as well his fighting techniques.

"Unlike the outlaws that I had in custody, Snide is a entirely different monster. As well a actual warrior like Fury, except enjoys chaos then fighting."

Bringing up a detail of how during the recordings, they saw how Snide moved fast as well attacked his enemies. Much like Fury with his sword, except Snide moved much faster as well able to throw opponents in mid air without even breaking a sweat.

"I still don't see the deal how dangerous this guy is. It's a ten on one fight, easy pickings. Plus take away his sword and he isn't worth shit."

Rex stating since from the recordings that they were being shared with, the explosive adult could see this alien wasn't a threat. Fury, grabbed him by the shoulder and raised him up which made the others surprised of how he picked him up without no trouble.

"Because kid, unlike me. I'll threaten you, him? He'll rip you apart with even making a witty remark like you do. As well battled countless of beings with powers, so don't get cocky."

The cat informing him as well placing him down gently for him to think about what he said. Rex, was itching to try and blow him up by Samson stopped him seeing how what he said was true. Resuming the video, Robot was curious about another thing that might be vital to this attack.

"What of his abilities? Where they powerful enough for you to handle? Along that when you arrived, would it be possible to gain new abilities?"

Questioning that when Sledge and his crew arrived, they themselves had obtain rather unique but also dangerous new abilities that they didn't have before arriving on Earth. The three merely said nothing seeing how if it was true, then things would possibly be a problem.

"Then we bring him down before he finds out. Meaning we can distract him and then rush him since it's ten of us."

Mark suggesting as it seemed that while they did have the number and power on their side, they needed to be careful on facing Snide since whatever ability that he had acquired might turn the tides to his favor.

"Yeah. And I can tell that distraction has a personal vendetta to one of us in this group."

Monster girl staying as most of them turned to Sledge seeing how he was the reason for chasing him down across the galaxy. Meaning that while Snide had eyes on him, the others could find a good spot for each person to jump in and take him down.

"Then we're all in a agreement, while Snide has a old chat with Sledge. Each of us will find a spot to take him down from, and try to not bring down the whole damn building on us during the process."

Samson suggesting as it seemed like the idea was good, Sledge however merely gestured a glare at them seeing how it seemed everyone was board with the idea. Mark, on the side merely looked over in the air trying to see if Eve and Poisandra might be coming.

"Well we should possibly get this done fast. Poisandra wanted to bring Eve to help, and the last thing I want is to have her worry about me since we're dating."

Announcing to them of how he didn't want Eve to see him back at the hospital. Everyone was a bit surprised when they heard him stating it, along getting some questionable looks about it. Nodding their heads to the agreement of the plan, they begun to figure out how they would attack once Snide was distracted.

"Really? Bringing up the girlfriend shtick into this?"

"Yeah. Since Poisandra is the one bringing her, who I frankly remembered being your girlfriend. And if anything happened to us, we'd be screwed and have them kicking our asses all across the city."

Bringing up another point that while they themselves are strong enough to handle almost anything, they now also had a responsibility to making sure Even and Poisandra know what their doing. More or less not have them worried about not getting killed or in the hospital. Sledge merely groans at the statement and decided to check up on his blaster making sure it was strong enough to blow a hole right threw Snide.

"Excuse me, Mark?"

A voice spoke from behind him which was none other than Duplikate who was once her former friend along a teammate of hers. Plus the reason why Rex and Eve broken up in the first place. He was still fuzzy on how the breakup had ended, more or less what had happened between them since Eve didn't say much. So seeing the girl that caused a relationship and possibly a friendship end was a bit awkward.

"Yeah? Duplikate?"

Asking her about what might be going on since this was a rather strange moment for them to be talking since they were moments away from facing one of the galaxy's most dangerous criminals. However Kate wanted to ask something just before they did so.

"Just in case if something happens, or if I don't survive since the last time we fought a group of super villains as well aliens. Just tell Eve that, I'm sorry for what I did. And she doesn't have to say anything, I just want her to know."

Informing the Viltrumite about that while Eve seems to remember the pain and sadness she felt when Rex cheated on her. Kate felt much of the same when she saw the look on her face, as well tried to apologies to her when it happen. Mark saw the look on her face feeling like while her power involved multiplying into more version's of herself, this felt rather much more dangerous in this moment.

"It won't come down to that. Because now we have the advantage, so you can tell her that. And maybe, things might turn out alright."

Giving her confidence that unlike fighting at Machine Head's place, they were much more trained along had a advantage when facing this one outlaw. Duplikate merely smiled at the response and decided to get serious while the aliens, saw how the young man was trying to comfort the girl since the outcome of this fight wasn't clear.

"It's sad to see people like her afraid to face someone rather challenging. More or less what type of powers Snide may have acquired."

Wrench stating as he wielded his one handed axe not knowing of what might happen since he didn't know if he could handle himself. Fury, merely blows his nose and growls light to the robot making him tense a bit of how frightened he might be.

"What's the matter tin can? You can manipulate water but afraid you'll piss yourself? Might as well sit on the sidelines."

Fury mocking him due to how while Wrench could hold himself in a fight, he seemed nervous himself. As the two looked like they were about to bicker, Sledge walked over and slapped behind their heads making them stop messing around.

"Will you two knock it off. Both of you shouldn't be arguing since none of you will be a target. I am, so go with the humans while I have to deal with this crap."

Giving them both orders of what they should do while he goes off to distract Snide. In which seemed now due to how the Guardians had just finished where they would be place when Snide reveal himself. Sure enough, the nine super power beings merely headed to their spots while Sledge. Made sure his armor was fasten tight as well blaster charged since he was about to venture into territory where anything might happen.


Within the Mill

Inside of the building with several construction vehicles as well several steel pipes laying upon the ground. The place was a mess, more or less still under development. Right at the front doors was Sledge as his red eyes were looking around the place, not knowing where that crazed outlaw might pop out from. Walking in as well watching his surroundings, the bounty hunter vigilant.

"Alright Snide. I got your message from the destroyed neighborhood, you wanted me. Here I am."

Announcing to the empty building trying to get Snide's attention, seeing if the alien would show his face. Though there was no sign of him, meaning Snide was either building up tension to catch Sledge off guard. Or to tick him off since he wasn't exactly so patient in these types of situations.

"What's wrong? I force you to use that weapon and now your afraid to fight me? The greatest bounty hunter in the.."

Before Sledge could continue to speak boldly towards his enemy, he felt a powerful slash coming from behind him as well was sent flying to the side. Tumbling a bit, he groaned to see a figure in the shadows.

"You always talk to much during our chase, I prefer cutting it short."

A groggily type voice spoke as coming out of the shadows was Snide, who looked just the same as ever. It was a pain since Sledge preferred his normal look, though seeing Snide standing there and smirking at him was more then enough to know he was going get stomped on.

"Snide, still skulking around like a rat? I thought with that you did to that neighborhood you'd be glad to fight me."

Making a remark to him of how Sledge could see while destroying a neighborhood was mere child's play then fighting him face to face. Snide, placing the tip of his sword on the ground drags it towards him before pointing towards Sledge's face.

"Oh I am. And want to enjoy killing you very slowly, and painfully. But first, I wanna know about this whole deal with that brat. Invincible. And this, new look of yours."

Questioning him about the strange individual that he's been hanging around along of the younger look that Sledge had acquired. Making Snide laugh of how before arriving, Sledge looked rather menacing. Though now he looks like a brat himself, Sledge merely stood up slowly while making sure to give Snide his full attention.

"Let's just say I got a taste of that weapon you stole. More or less that I got some rather unique after effects from it, glad to show you right now."

Responding back towards Snide as he was focusing on possibly growing giant, though Snide merely nodded his head before delivering a solid straight forward kick which made Sledge move away from. As well shocking to see as Sledge felt the kick almost cracking a bone in his body.

"Same as me old friend. Which during the destruction of both our ships, I flew out of mine. Affected by the void missile, it's raw ion energy poured into me. Resulting in a unique type of power."

Informing Sledge that he himself had been affected by the experimental weapon that Sledge and his gang were chasing after him. As he listened to Snide, Sledge noticed amongst the shadows that of the others carefully making their moves as well waiting for the right moment.

"That's the name of the missile? Because when I was hired, the owner couldn't speak so much since you almost broke his neck."

Bringing up on how Snide required the weapon as well how it was urgent to require it, but now it was to late. Further more of how it seemed it's energy was transferred within each of the aliens. Snide, merely chuckled of how he remembered acquiring the missile.

"The old man didn't know what he was doing. Further more that it was important that someone knew how to use it, so I took it upon myself to take it. But now I am the weapon, and might test it out on this planet and on you!"

Shouting out towards Sledge and doing a sword spin and was about to plunge it right into his heart, though soon enough. Mark rushed in right on que and delivered a strong uppercut sending Snide upwards. However the attack made him flip back onto his feet and got into a sword stance while looking at the pair, Invincible took a look at the armorlike alien as he looked like a gargoyle.

"Seriously? He's the dangerous one? Looks like reject from a medieval restaurant."

Making a joke to possibly catch Snide off guard or make him lose his cool, however Snide just looked annoyed as Sledge merely adjusted himself as the pair looked at his enemy ready to take him on.

"Talk about your 'little' friend. Maybe I should show him the real meaning of pain unlike that red cape man did that day."

Reminding Mark about what his father did to him when Nolan revealed his true side to the world. While Sledge didn't know how Mark would respond with a whistle, which suddenly caused a instinct call to the arms. Which had everyone launch right out of their hiding spots and landing all around Snide. The outlaw looked at each of the humans and that of Fury and Wrench who was with them.

"And I thought Sledge and Fury was ugly. You look a like a reject soldier from a crappy horror movie."

Monster girl stating as she was in her monster form, as the ten had the outlaw alien surrounded making sure there was no way he could escape. Snide, merely lowered his sword seeing how this was a rather interesting moment for him.

"Your giving up that quickly? What a pussy, I thought you said this guy was dangerous."

Rex asking Sledge and the others as this was the first time they saw a opponent giving up. Instead, Snide merely let out a mad like laughter of the moment he was in. The guardians felt unnerved by this, while Sledge and the other aliens merely kept up their guard as they knew this side of him.

"Just to think, the so called 'great bounty hunter' surrounds with weaklings. And bodies for me to test out this new found power. What do you say? Let's make it a fucking death battle!"

Announcing to everyone as well inviting the ten to battle them, which made Rex and the others charge in accepting the fight. Spinning his blade he sends a destructive slash at them, it sent the six flying in mid air and hitting the wall as well metal beams. Laughing at them, Sledge and the others rushed at him and fought against him. As Invincible was trying to land a blow, the alien bounty hunters were trying to attack them with their weapons.

"Seriously just stand still already!"

Mark shouting at Snide as he tried to throw a punch, however Snide was able to dodge the punch and accidentally hit Wrench sending him to the ground. Mark felt sorry for hitting him, but got slashed by Snide sending him up in midair.

"Thunder crash!"

Fury shouting as he charged up his sword and was about to slam his weapon downwards upon Fury. However Snide moved away avoiding the attack, though soon see's Black Samson and Robot charging up their energy attacks and fired right towards him.

"Pour it all on him!"

Samson shouting as both he and Robot focused on firing at Snide, the others delivered their own personal attacks. Monster girl rushed towards him delivering a solid punch hitting him to the ground, as well tossing him into the air. Rex hurled several small disc towards Snide sending him upwards into the air. Duplikate multiplied into several versions and did several attacks onto him. Landing on the ground, Snide tried to stand back up but felt something right from behind his neck.

"Go long!"

Shouted Shrinking Rae as she was right onto Snide's back and was small, though increased in side as she hurled him towards the others. Which left Wrench to deliver a strong axe slash at him as well Fury to do the same. Feeling the momentum of everyone, Invincible dragged him upwards into the air and hurled him upwards crashing threw the roof.

"End it."

Looking to Sledge as the green skin bounty hunter was able to access his Magna mode growing in size as well catching Snide at the right moment, leaving him to grab Snide and slam him right into the ground hard enough to shake the entire ground. Everyone took a moment of breath to catch from how much they had to give at Snide. Though right at the crater where Snide resided, the yellow eyed alien didn't look bruised or even appeared to have any sigh of broken bones.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me."

Fury asking as from all that punishment, it did nothing to Snide. However, at the center of his chest was where it slowly glowed. Laughing at them, Snide unleashed a battle cry right at them. Which suddenly coming out of his chest was several large green tentacles, they begun to latch against each of the individuals and launched them up into the air.

"What kind of Hentai crap is this?!"

Rex shouting as they were all being dragged across the Mill as well slammed towards the walls and ground. No one was able to break free due to the strength which tentacle had, more or less that they were moving in a chaotic movement.

"I can't, break free!"

Sledge announcing of how the tentacles had a good grip on him, while for Mark. Seeing everyone getting hurt, felt that inner anger that he had back at Machine Head's place. Shaking in a aggressive manner, he broke free and flew towards Snide. However, Snide looked at Mark as he retracted his tentacles towards Mark grappling all of them onto him.

"Let's dance boy."

Snide speaking as he was brought him up into the air and was about to smash him onto the ground with the same momentum like they did to him. However, Sledge was able to deliver a powerful blast at Snide with blaster sending Snide flying outside of the building. Letting go of Mark, the Viltrumite landed on the ground as he was lucky to stand from the squeeze. Regrouping together, the ten looked at Snide as he was back up.

"I guess you found out my 'special' power. The more pain I get, the more I can dish out towards you at ten fold. So. Wanna go again?"

"Sure ugly."

Spoke a voice from behind Snide as he explained his new power towards them. However behind the outlaw was Eve and Poisandra arriving just in time. As well looking ready to face him, along Curio who looked at the whole scene seeing everyone hurt.

"Did we miss anything?"

Asking curious as Snide could see he bit off more than he could chew. Growling in a frustrated tone, he looked at Mark and Sledge as he pointed his blade towards the two in a threatening manner.

"Know that I'm not going anywhere, and that whatever happens is on your head."

Declaring to the two as they were all going to stop him, however Snide soon spun his sword and plunges it to the ground. It let out a flash light blinding them, as well allowed him to escape from the area without making a sound. Everyone groaned at the flash as well seeing that Snide had escaped. Eve, looked at her former team and Mark being threw a rather difficult fight.

"Alright. Mind telling me what happened when I was being brought over here?"

Asking any of the Guardians or Invincible about what had happened, which was going be rather difficult since they didn't expect Snide to be so dangerous. Though lucky enough to not end up so bruised, so it be a lot to fill Eve and Poisandra in on this possible new threat that they be expecting.

Later on in a abandon building

Being able to escape the Guardians and Sledge's crew, Snide was able to gather himself in a building that was condemned. Stumbling a bit into the apartment, he needed a moment of air due to what they did to him. As well the tentacles he released from his chest seeing how it took a lot out of him.

"Shit. Rather stronger then I thought, but. This planet has much to offer, as well seems good enough to stay hidden."

Talking to himself as it seemed that there was another means to being stranded on this planet. Placing his sword on the side as well going to the floor and possibly calm himself, he sensed something within the room. Which left him to take his sword and aim it at the wall where he noticed someone there with him.

"Hell of a fight you did there, I can see why Sledge was after you."

Spoke a voice from the shadows as the figure walked out showing none other than Cecil Stedman. The man in charge of GDA, as well apparently had watched the battle from afar as he showed Snide the recording from his phone.

"And apparently you have information on why you wanted that missile that I like to know. In exchange, I could offer you something in exchange."

Explaining to Snide that exchange for information behind this mysterious theft of this missile that was the reason of this arrival. Plus pulling out something from his jacket, which seemed that of a GDA badge. The swordsman alien took a look at the item, as well how the old man didn't look much afraid of him. Snide, merely chuckled seeing how he knew there was something devious about Cecil. Meaning it be good to stay close to him so whatever might happen, it be good to have ally like Cecil, that is if he could trust him.
