Chapter 14: Act I, Chapter 13: Gaining Allies

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Vanoss sat in the makeshift encampment that Rainbow Hair helped them make.

It was a bit of work setting up and maintaining, but it gave him time to chill with his youtube friends.

"Hey, Vanoss! Check Mini out!" Wildcat yelled from across the camp.

God dammit. He had things he wanted to do today, he walked over to where Wildcat was, only to see Mini Ladd with his hands in the air, with a Sticky Bomb on his back.

"Wait, wait, I had nothing to do with the blue stuff!" He yelled.

Delirious walked over to Mini, inspecting his condition, walking away shortly after.

"Yeah, yeah, there's no hope for him." He said through that mask.

"Hold on, let me observe this-" Nogla walked over to Mini Ladd, who exploded; killing them both.

Pretty much everyone started laughing at Nogla's corpse launch.

"Ha ha, 'let me observe this', kaboom!" Vanoss was still laughing.

Lui Calibre ran towards the group, he looked like he had something important to tell them.

"Vanoss, Droidd found these guys outside the camp, follow me!" Lui said.

What? He thought that this would be secluded. Who was there?

----

"Let me out of these ropes!" Alex yelled at a guy in a pink shirt.

"No can do, Sénor. Vanoss!" He yelled again.

"Are you sure that this is a good idea?" Alex asked Karis, who was also tied up.

"At first, I was, but now I'm having second thoughts." She admitted.

Just then, the guy with a red and white jacket and the iconic owl mask ran over alongside the other guy in the monkey mask, another guy with a hockey mask, and this other guy wearing the pig mask.

"Who are these guys?" The owl asked.

"I-I don't know Vanoss! These guys just showed up over here!" The monkey masked guy said, in a rather high pitched voice.

"Ah, so were they born in the darkness?" This other guy asked, clutching a Pringles can and doing his best Bane impression.

Alex groaned, he was already getting pretty damn sick of this.

"So then, who are you?" The guy wearing the pig mask asked them.

"Alex Walker." He replied.

"I'm Agent Karis Victoria Thorne, CIA." Karis said.

"Well, I'm Vanoss, the badass of the group." Vanoss egotistically introduced.

"I am H2O Delirious, the axe murderer!" Delirious yelled, splitting Piggy's head open.

"You sound a lot like this guy I know called the Masturbating Fisherman."

"Well, you sound like this other guy I know called-" Delirious was about to finish when Vanoss so rudely interrupted.

"HOO-DINI!" Vanoss yelled, shooting Delirious in the face with a musket.

"NOOOOOO! YOU BITCH!!!!!" Delirious yelled, falling off a conveniently placed cliff.

"Anyway, the Pig is Wildcat," Vanoss said, pointing to this Wildcat person.

"Are you ready, Kids?!" Wildcat asked, pulling out a mini-gun.

"...what?" Alex asked.

"I can't hear y-" Alex shot Wildcat in the face by his .44 Scratch.

"Alex!" Karis scolded.

"What?!"

"Why the hell did you do that?"

"Sit down, you punk bitch!" Vanoss yelled.

Vanoss swung at him with a 9-iron. Alex deftly evaded the blow, spun behind Vanoss, wrestled the golf club out of his hands and swung at his neck. The Owl clutched his neck, giving Alex another opportunity to attack, before he was surrounded by the crew, all pointing various weapons at him.

"You've gotta be kidding me." Alex grunted, pointing his own weapon at them.

They all shot at him, but he dived down, all of their shots missed, and hit the others.

"AAAAAH! IT'S BATMAN!!!" Delirious screamed.

"Where did he go!?" Another man wearing a paper bag asked, looking around.

Alex stood behind him, getting close to his ear.

"I'm right here." He said, sliding between him and the Monkey Masked fellow. Paper Bag guy shot his weapon at another guy.

"Nogla! Don't shoot me!" A guy with a Mohawk and a multicolored t-shirt said.

"C-c-c-combo breaker!" Someone else said as Alex kneed some guy in the face, placing a foot on his chest once he was knocked over.

"Marcel, you noob!" Delirious laughed.

Alex pointed his gun at Delirious' face, then he flipped on the safety, putting it back in a holster.

"Look, you guys' combat skills are...average at best," Alex began.

"Alex..." Karis warned.

"...But still good, I have a proposition for you." Alex continued.

"What kind of proposition?" Vanoss asked.

"Perhaps he is the instrument of our liberation?" The guy with the Pringles can said again.

"Shut up, Terroriser. What do you want?" Wildcat asked.

"Rainbow told you about me, right?" Alex questioned.

"Yeah, mentioned you killing people in front of everybody." 'Marcel' said.

"...well, there's a reason behind that." Alex started to explain.

"Get to the point."

"I'm going to need some help getting through this crap, so I'll pay you all to help her and myself kill a rogue CIA agent, I'll pay you all about...10,000 bits." Alex proposed.

"Pfft, we could get more money by doing a heist," Vanoss scoffed."150,000."

"100,000 bits." Alex said.

"125,000. Final offer." Vanoss had given him an ultimatum, there were at least 10 of them, this would completely drain his resources! But he had no other choice.

"Deal." Alex raised out a hand, Vanoss shook it, and demanded his money up front.

"Sure." Alex opened up his pocket dimension, and handed everyone a bag.

Vanoss and friends went inside, each coming out with their bags full of loot.

"Okay, now my first order as your boss, untie her." Alex said, pointing to Karis.

Delirious cut Karis out with his axe, and helped her up.

"Okay, team. You're going to go about your daily lives until Karis and I need you. Sound like a plan?" Alex asked.

"125,000 gold coins to do nothing? Sounds good to me." Mini Ladd said.

"Well, I think it would be best to reintroduce ourselves, especially since Alex here tried breaking Evan's neck. Sound good?" Karis asked.

"Okay, I'm Vanoss, and that guy in the mask is Delirious," Vanoss began

"'Sup, bitches?" Delirious introduced, brandishing an axe.

"And these guys are Lui, Mini, Nogla, Terroriser, Wildcat, and...who else?"

"I'm Basically." Marcel said.

"And these other guys are Droidd and Moo." Terroriser finished.

"Good meeting you all, I'm Alex." Alex said.

"Agent Karis Thorne." Karis introduced herself to the other men.

"Okay, Alex, now that we've been paid and already introduced ourselves, what exactly is the plan?" Mini asked.

It was Karis who answered.

"I'm going to dig up what I can about Winchester, that's the guy we're paying you to help us kill, Alex is going to do some extra special missions for me, and we'll call you guys if we need you." Karis instructed.

"Question, what the hell does Alex have, exactly?" Wildcat asked.

"Yeah, that's one hell of a gun." Basically said, admiring the gun.

"Yeah, it looks epic as shit, where did you get it?" Moo agreed.

Alex thought back to Vinyl, always a trustworthy mare, she helped him on his first day in town, and gave him the weapon after it got damaged in his first scuffle against Crimson after getting here.

"The gun got broken during a battle, and this mare, Vinyl, fixed it up, made it a thousand times cooler that what it already was." Alex said, remembering the events play back in his head.

"What do you guys have?" Karis asked the crew.

"We have our phones and some money, we could buy, like, tanks and helicopters and shit." Delirious said.

"One more thing, is there an extra tent somewhere? It's a little cramped in our old base camp, and they probably found it by now." Alex asked Vanoss.

"Well, we have Delirious' extra tent, though you may want to burn it, or clean it, or at least spray some febreeze inside..." Vanoss' voice trailed off, thinking about some dark subject.

"Hey! Don't judge my special spongebob time!" Delirious defended himself, looking indignantly at Vanoss.

"That reminds me, remember that giant spongebob trap?" Vanoss asked, laughing.

"Don't remind me..." Moo facepalmed.

Rainbow Dash flew in looking like she missed the bus, looking around, and noticing that Alex and Vanoss had already been aquainted.

"Buck! I'm late!" Rainbow looked rather flustered, as though she had just woken up from a nap.

"Yes, yes you are." Nogla rolled his eyes through his paper bag.

"Wait, Nogla, why do you wear that paper bag over your head?" Karis asked.

"Do you really want to know?" Wildcat asked.

"...No." Alex said.

"Oh, fock you guys!" Nogla looked pretty mad, it was kinda funny.

And with that, Rainbow helped Karis and Alex move into the tent, Karis decided it would be best to try and redesign the Goliath Mk. V armor to better handle gunshots.

As for Alex, he figured it would be best to train Vanoss and Friends in combat as best he could. Looking back, Alex had no idea how he managed to survive his past encounters, he had backup at first in Area 51, and got wounded pretty badly after they turned on him. The fight against Task Force Crimson at Sugarcube Corner, maybe the need to escape, plus Karis' instructions helped him get there without dying an awful death, but he still got shot in the leg and other various spots. And his most recent attack, he survived because he always wore that armor. Thank god for Karis' handiwork.

He still wasn't sure what was going on back in his old world. And he thought about Kat for the first time in weeks. He wondered how she was doing...

--POV Shift: Kat--

Kat fell out of another portal, landing hard against the rocky ground.

Writhing in pain, she staggered up, only to back away in terror as she was standing over the edge of a cliff overlooking a base of some kind.

"Where the hell am I this time..?" Kat groaned inwardly. She knew she shouldn't have pressed 'shuffle' again!

In any case, she ducked out of sight. She didn't know where she was, and considering how things went last time, they weren't exactly going to treat her well.

"Drop your weapon and put your hands in the air!" A voice demanded. Kat thought the man sounded kind of odd, since he sounded like he was talking through a cheap voice-changer from Target.

"Who are you?" She asked in a low whisper.

"I should be asking you the same thing." A tall man, about seven feet, in fact, introduced. He looked like he was in some type of military.

"I'm not from here.. My name is Katherine Anderson, former Corporal of the Kahn Militia." Kat introduced herself.

"My name is Kaiver Locust, Commander of the Adenien Ryder Corps. And you're going to help retrieve something for me."

Author's Notes:

Well, I'm trying to get the word out about the story as best I can.
And without people telling me how else I can improve, I have no safe method on how to help you guys read a good fan fiction.
Also, I told you about Crossover elements being added into the story, so here it is. What do you guys think of my adding Vanoss into this, like, I know it's been done to death already and I also know this may seem like a Cheap shot for likes, but truth be told, the way I wrote the story makes it so that these elements are interwoven into the storyline from the get-go, so it would seem obvious looking back.
Also, one last thing, a certain web-series will be crossed over in this fan fiction, can anyone guess what that web series is?

EDIT:
I've been making edits to most of the chapters to better segue the story in the direction it was going.

Next Chapter: Act I, Chapter 14: Plan B Estimated time remaining: 11 Hours, 8 Minutes
