The god-like entity began to consider two more potential roles. Every team needed the cute innocent one, and it was always interesting to have the “Badass Loner”.
Yes, he had to individuals in mind that would add a great deal of spice, and help keep the team on track…
------
Vash panted as he climbed out of the pool. Turning to the redhead with the white bangs, he bowed his head. “I’m sorry.”
Rogue scowled. “Well sugar, I think there is one little thing you can do to make it up to me!”
Vash smiled widely. “Anything. I’m really sorry about that…”
“Just hold still,” Rogue stated, removing one of her swimming gloves. “this’ll only take a second…”
Brianna looked over to Bobby. “What is she doing kid?”
“She can drain people’s energy. She getting back at him,” he replied.
“Really,” muttered Brianna, “You know, if he was so desperate to grope a girl, he could have just grabbed me.”
“Can I?” asked Nightcrawler, all but popping out of nowhere.
Brianna blinked and looked at the strange mutant, then chucked. “Heh. Virgin.”
Bobby began to roar in laughter as Kurt changed from blue to red, “I AM NOT!”
Zero sighed in exasperation. “Humans.”
------
Rogue chucked as well but her focus was on Vash. She reached up and clamped her hand on his forehead. As always, she felt the influx of energy that marked the activation of her vampiric power. Any time now, he’d fall over and hit the ground. Any time now…
He wasn’t dropping. The amount of power she was draining from him was not even decreasing. It was like his body was generating it just as fast as she could drain it.
Without removing her hand she looked up to him. “Why aren’t you passing out?”
Vash blinked. “What are you trying to do?”
“I’m draining your energy. You know, you should have passed out a minute ago...”
“Oh... It’s kinda tingly...”
Rogue cocked her head. “What the hell are you sugar, some kind of walking power plant?”
“Ah... you could say that...”
Behind them were two loud splashes. Everyone turned around to look at the new comers.
Pulling himself out of the pool was a man whose body movements spoke of combat experience and skill. The X-youths couldn’t help but equate his body language to Wolverine. Still in the pool was a pale, confused looking Japanese girl who was holding onto a railing for dear life.
Solid Snake and Hotaru had arrived.
------
The small Balkan nation of East Bubblefucksylvania was a relic of the cold war, a nation at war with its primary rival, the dastardly capitalist West Bubblefucksylvania. The country was the last bastion of Leninism in a decadent Post-Soviet world. Its neighbor was a former outpost of the United States, it’s small landmass was once rife with jets and US troops now abandoned by their former allies.
The two nations had no oil, no natural resources worth mentioning. In the world view they didn’t matter. In the big picture, the lives of people are only worth that of the land they live on, and their land was worthless. It was the kind of land where a man ruthless enough could seize power and make himself the master of all.
In the sky, overcast by gun smoke, a red vortex opened and from it fell Liquid Snake. For the first time in years, liquid opened his eyes, his own eyes. After living as a ghost in the back on another’s mind he was alive again in the body which had been taken from him by Foxdie.
He smiled and looked over the burnt landscape, saying only two words: “Outer Heaven.”
------ Mistress 9 smiled looking over the bleak, frozen landscape. She was live again and possessed a body of her own. The girl, Hotaru’s spirit was not present, but neither was the Silence Glaive. She could feel it’s powers pulsating and distant. I called to her, beckoned her to come. She would do so. She would weald the weapon to bring silence to the universe, starting with this little rock… but first she had to find a way out off of Antarctica.
