X Force Uprising

"James sighs, as a girl suddenly appears from the shadow"

James: Hey Death
Death: Hello James. It's been a while. I need a favor
James: What?
Death: I need you to track someone down for me alright. This man's probably familiar to you, at least the name. Wade Wilson...
James: Wait...I know that name...
Death: Another name he uses is Deadpool. Now off you go
James: Alright...you expect me to this without any other information? Just "find him" and that's it?
Death: Yes

"Death smiles cheerfully. Gil is a bit confused, but goes with it and says nothing"

James: You're gonna have to give me something here. Please. Last time you showed up in this planet involved a star system wide ban on death
Death: Alright. There's something coming, and I need everyone that's been touched by me. Has met me. Any possible hmm...avatars you may call them.
James: What's coming?
Death: James...just do what I'm asking. Please. I'm a cosmic entity saying please to a mortal. Isn't that enough?

"James sighs"

James: Fine...but you'll tell me what you know after I find Deadpool got it?
Death: I promise I'll tell you everything I can.
James: What about Nightmare. Why did you get him to contact you?
Death: He's going with you. And once you have Wade, I want you to hand both him and Nightmare over to Milo Ventro for protection

"James turns to stare at Nightmare. When he stares back again...Death is gone"

James: Quite literally "serving death"...this is poetic. Come on Nighty...get in the car

---

Simon: Sure why not. First day off in weeks. Taking Elizia out on a date, all's well with the word today

Frank: Would appear so.

..........................

Nightmare: Always fun working with her isn't it. Hopefully this trip with you won't prove to dull.

*Nightmare existed the building with the other two getting in the car James was driving.*

James: Do you know anything about what she's planning anyway?
Gil: So wait, that there really was Death. But how...
James: Long story Banshee...long story

"Gilroy looks James dead in the eyes. It's been well over 10 years since he's used that name. Still...being around this life again is good"

Nightmare: Who's your friend?
James: An old acquaintance of Invisible.

Nightmare: I see. Far as Death go's... well you knows how it works. We'll get details when we need them.

James: I don't know how anything works. We need to get back to the mansion...except

"James knocks out Nightmare, as the 3 drive back to Samuel's mansion. Gil and James carry him in, and then James wakes him up again"

James: Sorry. Just to make sure you don't know your way here.
Gil: So...
James: I had a smaller version of the cerebra installed here. Lets hope it's enough to find Wade

*Nightmare shrugs it off, not like he hadn't gotten worse then being knocked out.*

Nightmare: Overly physical for a telepath huh. What's wrong, Phoenix having more power make you stop caring?

James: No. I'm just thorough with know sociopaths

"Gil looked at James work. And for a second...he thought he was hearing Fawkes"

"The 3 men enter the living room. Frank and Simon were there eating lunch"

Simon: Oh god that's...my day off is gone isn't it?
James: Day off? You don't get days off. Live with it This is hmm...Banshee. That's Fullmetal and Bones
Gil: Pleasure...
James: Alright then. Someone find me that comic book collection Harry gave us. I want to go through everything on one Wade Wilson
Simon: Deadpool? We're going to search for him? I remember meeting him once. He's a crazy one
James: Just do it

"Simon groans. There goes his date."

Frank: Deadpool huh. Alright, but before we question that, what is he doing here? (referring to Nightmare)
Nightmare: I'm here because Death asked.
Frank: Death. Figures some nut like you would befriend her.

"Ledge had left about an hour after that had arrived at the blade. He'd decided to make it a solo mission, this sword was connected to him, his family history, and the Angels had messed him up. Now someone else had it, and he knew sword-smiths would get payed millions, possibly billions to get it repaired. He had arrived in some area in Japan, a swordsmith Togashi was trying to replicate the Mursama Blade for Shadow, one of the Hands top ninja's. Ledge grinned the hand was involved, he hadn't had an encounter with them for years. He pulled out his own blade that he'd brought, it was nothing special but it had a tip covered in admantium. Ledge put the blade in a sheath on his back. Then with a snikit his claws came out and he stabbed them into the mountain and began climbingin down towards Togashi's manor, he had spotted and sniffed out several Hand Ninja's all around inside the area. "

Ledge: Damn, can't make fun of Simon anymore. All those platforms, flying around and shit make it easier to get around. Now I see why the Agency missed Ray when he died. Hmm.

"Ledge began following the smell of the Mursama Blade, but also sound. He heard the blade being sharpened, Togashi was already in the process of trying to duplicate the Mursama Blade. He picked traces of sparks in the air, he heard blades clashing, foot-steps with no sound, even heart beats. He even heard some irregular, perhaps drug usage, with smell he detected it was marajuana. He maneuvered downed to the supposed stoned ninja's location."

Ledge: Wait a minute, there heart beats should be slower then that with all that Kush there smoking unless. Fuck I knew it, Shogun's here he's doing that anti toxin training. Fuck Bastard.

"Ledge spotted them, and sniffed out his own blade, they were close, he was close. He continued going not wanting to start a confrontation with Shogun, one of the most dangerous Handsmen. Finally seeing the manor he saw several Hands were around it, and he pulled out some paint and holding himself in place with one claw and a foot he drew a quick simple, then said an incantation, and a feeling of sedation spread across the manor. Ledge then leaped forward hitting the manor's roof bursitng through it. Togashi backed up, and o ninja inside charged, Ledge leaned back and moved forward smashing it one full force, and delivering a powerful spinining side kick to the other."

Ledge: You got all that fancy, ninja shit, and I'm raping you guys with karate, then again I have my own advanced martial arts. Time will do that to ya, Togashi nice sword you're experienting with
Togashi: You think I mere swordsman you think.

"Togashi drew his blade, but Ledge raised his hands tossing a miniature flash grenade into his face causing it to go off blinding him, as the other ninja's came shruiken tossed, Ledgedjust flipped back-wards drawing his blade in mid air to deflect that he couldn't dodge. He lunged at Togashi tossing his current blade into the ninja moving to stop him, then grabbed the Mursama Blade, and the incomplete one. He stashed the incomplete one in his shealth, and raced forward using his control over gravity to slow down the ninja as he used advance butujutsu techniques slashing apart the slowed ninja's invading the manor to stop him. Making his way outside he reversed his gravity powers to boost him as he leaped to safety stabbing his blade into the mountain. He then stabbed a claw into the mountain, and put the Mursama Blade between his teeth, and with a snikit drew out his other claw as he began climbing to where he landed the Blackbird."

Ledge: fuck Fuck Fuck I just know Shogun's gonna get there, damn bastard, moving faster then a cokehead and he's not even a speedster, it's not right.

"Molly w as on her laptop, using her ability to moinitor several politicians, CIA Agents, FBI Agents, DHS, FSB, PSB, U.N, and other major players, their actions showing in thousands of documents that she seemed to be monitoring at once. Molly not even phased as she would take breaks to sip coffee."

Molly: Just enjoying a day off.
Abdul: Oh..my I see..

"Abdul who was passing by was in shock of her amazing talent. It was one thing to hear about all these powers on TV, but to see them up close in personal was another thing. He moved onto the kitchen, he felt like contacting the own woman in his life Emina. He'd started a relationship with her, before he got involved with a covet operation stop Fitrah, and wondered if his cousin Mordecai was okay."

Abdul: Ah the joys of a day off, reminds me of the calm before the storm, something will disturb this peace surely.

James: He's here because apparently Death needs him for something...

"After a while, Simon brings the comics. James quickly goes through them (mostly key issues)"

James: Alright then...fascinating. This guy's a nutter. Molly

"James walks up to Molly"

James: I need a favor. I need you to find me the last know location of one Wade Wilson...also known as Deadpool

Frank: So is this Deadpool interest also...
Nightmare: Because of Death, yes, yes it is.
Frank: And her interest with you two?
Nightmare:: Does not concern you, bone man.

"Molly nods head and types in Wade Wilson. Instantly using her ability she locates him and the latest actions she's done. Pulling file, she accesses the projector and puts it on the wall."

Molly: There sir, it's up there, or you can read the lap-top whichever you prefre.
Abdul: So no more day off?
Aisha: It appears not.
Molly: Also Claws is still gone, I assume his wherabouts should be kept secret from the others?

James: Yes. He can handle himself, and he knows how to contact me if there's any problems

Simon: So we going after this guy?
James: No AFTER. I'm sure you can get him to cooperate
Simon: Ha! Deadpool? Man you really didn't have a childhood did you? Deadpool wont cooperate for shit
James: I seem to remember Deadpool was quite...fond of Death

"Simon and James stare at each other, and James poker face is hiding a snicker of how he just out-geeked Simon"

James: Alright. You guys can sight tight. me, Banshee and Nightmare will handle this one. I don't want to ruin your day off. I'll be taking the jet though

"The three of them head out"

James: Simon, Erica. Both of you be ready to move out using the teleporter if Ledge needs any help understood?

*The 3 board the jet.*

Nightmare: Private Jet and all. This deal really is to good.

"James is the one driving. Meanwhile, Gilroy seems to be reading a book he had with him"

James: This jet is the same one that the original X-Men used apparently...
Gilroy: Actually, it's tweaked. Samuel Ventro had this made for us
James: Us?
Gilroy: A small team Fawkes, Hank and Samuel put together to deal with an issue some time back...I doubt you were even born then.
James: Oh...

Nightmare: So, in your... professional opinion. How long should it take to get to Deadpool's location?

James: Considering we have his location, not long

"Gilroy meanwhile is going through the baggage in the plane...and finds a very familiar uniform"

Gil: Who gave you this?
James: I asked Simon to pack it...you're gonna need it. Welcome back for just this once...Banshee.

*Nightmare didn't have much else to say, all he could do was wait out the short trip.*

.................................

*Still with Simon.*

Frank: Deadpool, Nightmare, and Death. Well, what do you make of all this.

Simon: No idea...but James knew that other guy...Banshee he called him? No idea where from, but he knew him. Asked me to go into Fawkes old personal storage and get out a suitcase with something in it. Place it in the plane

----

"After Gilroy is equipped with a black camouflaged uniform with wings on either side, he stretches a bit"

Gilroy: Probably out of practice...
James: Like riding a bike. We're almost there. I'll drop you off. I'll keep in telepathic contact. According to Molly's info, he's been seen using the Northeastern American woods as a hideout. Get ready

"The hatch of the backhawk opens. Gilroy gives a thumbs up before diving. As he approaches the ground, he suddenly extends his arms, and screams. Sonic bursts emerge from his mouth, and allow him to use the built in wings to fly. That was Gilroy's powers. The same as the original Banshee. He could manipulate his throat muscles to create sonic bursts of various effects."

Gilroy: HAHA! Feels like 14 again!

"Gilroy soars for a while before making a landing, as he sees the blackhawk looking for a clearing to land in"

Frank: Well, whatever, he'll call if he needs us I guess.

Simon: Yes he can. Wanna go outside a spar a big. Hey Abdul, wanna join us? I've got some sweat to work off before my night out

---

"After Gilroy meets with Nightmare and James, who have parked their jet, the explore along the mountains, searching for Deadpool"

James: So...what's your real name Nightmare? I haven't actually read you yet. Figure might as well ask
Gilroy: Oh but with me, ya go righ' ahead heh? Very nice youngster
James: Shut it old bat

Nightmare: It's funny how often one is asked that, even someone like me.

*As they continued on, Nightmare never actually gave a answer, despite knowing he was in the presence of a telepath.*

...............................

Frank: Ah what the hell, may as well.

James: I don't want to pry...although technically you're a villain, I SHOULD pry...but I don't want to-

"Just then, a massive explosion goes off. Just as it looks like the 3 are engulfed, Gil gives off a massive shout, and the sonic waves form a concussive force field that protect them, but send them back. James pulls out a pair of pistols and passes one to Nightmare"

James: What the...
Gil: This place is probably booby trapp

"Before Gil can finish his sentence, he's hit in the back of the head by a swinging wildman...who promptly disappears. James takes aim and shots the rope, causing him to fall into some nearby bushes"

James: I KNOW IT'S YOU WILSON! I'M X-MEN!
...: AND I'M COPYRIGHT!

"Deadpool opens fire from the bush. James drags Gil with Nightmare's help and takes cover. Why the FUCK was he doing this"

James: Can you do anything here Nightmare?

---

"Meanwhile, in the smaller danger room that the X-Force have in their mansion, Simon is seen doing some exercises before Fran joins him. As he's working out, he notices something strange. His skin around his automail is somewhat darker...almost dark blue"

Simon: What...

"Simon wonders what this is."

Nightmare: You ever stop to think this man may not like the current X-MEN.

*Nightmare wasn't all that much up to date on Wilson, wondered why James never just got into his head.*

Nightmare: WILSON, NEVER MIND THESE HERO TYPES, ALWAYS THE SAME. WE'RE HERE UNDER DEATH'S REQUEST, NOT THE NEW AGE X-MEN.

*To James.*

Nightmare: Will he listen or was that a waste of time just now.

Deadpool: WELL SHIT SON!

"Deadpool comes out of the woodwork. He's wearing a black and white uniform version, possibly for concealment during winter"

Deadpool: Death...why didn't she come to me herself?
James: Because she wants you two under our protection. For now, you're coming with us until Death contacts us again alright?
Deadpool: Alright. No problem...is she still DCU version?
James: What...
Deadpool: Still hot teen Death?
James: Yes...

"Deadpool fuck yeahs and follows, helping to carry Gil. James sometimes wonders why the easy solutions fail him"

----

"After sparing with Frank for about an hour, getting ready into street clothing, Simon had left the mansion to head for the nearby city, for a date with Elizia."

Simon: I can't believe it...it...it actually worked this time. No catches. Dear god is this just my lucky day?
