X-Force Horizons
Chapter 8
Toad's Battle
Part 3
Disclaimer: I own nothing except for the story idea and crimson prophet. Props to Red Witch, RogueFan, and L1701E. And yeah.. sorry about the delay, been a little busy.
Back on the battlefield Virus was gloating and unknowingly was making a mistake by doing this. Such was the price of arrogance as anyone would tell him if they saw him in person. “Oh victory is so close for me, Althea my love you are close to being with me once again.” By now he had been looking up into the sky with a crazed look on his face and his arms thrown up.
When suddenly he was knocked to the ground and could see Toad standing over him. “Funny thing is you should have been hitting me more instead of gloating yo.” Virus growled and went to try and trip Toad but the frog like mutant had already moved out of the way.
“Too slow yo.” He knew it was wrong to gloat like he had just done but he also knew if he did it, Virus would just get angrier and make more mistakes.
As he had hoped, Virus rose quickly and launched an attack but was blocked and soon the two began to trade blow for blow, some being blocked, others getting through. He could tell that Virus was panting heavily, but he wouldn't let that stop him from doing what he could to finish the fight as quickly as he could. As he used his right arm to block a kick, his watch that allowed him to teleport to other places and could tell him the time to a fault was hit hard and he felt a small shock. “Aww no yo, you broke my watch! You have any idea the horror I'm going to be dealing with from Trinity!?!? Oh wait.. you do have an idea don't ya?” And Todd shuddered at the memory of what they did to him and what he was going to have to deal with.
“DON'T YOU DARE MENTION THAT AGAIN BOYO!! I'M STILL GETTING THERAPY FOR IT!” A brief image flashed in his mind, in it was shown of him being tied down to a chair in nothing but boxers and three of the biggest men he had ever seen in his life were dancing in front of him. And a large banner could be seen with the words 'Courtesy of Trinity, enjoy!' The mere thought of it made Virus start to suck on his thumb but he forced himself to not curl up into a ball.
Toad while watching all of this was laughing until his sides ached and managed to get something out. “Well man, they always thought you were gay!” Course they never actually thought it and it had been Darkstar's idea to begin with.
Howling with rage, Virus charged after Toad but missed his target and caught himself before he could fall. “FOR THE LAST TIME!! I AM NOT GAY!! ALTHEA KNOWS IT BUT SHE JUST DOESN'T REMEMBER CAUSE YOU DID SOMETHING TO HER!!” Toad shook his head sadly and decided to launch an attack.
Now whether Virus forgot or didn't think on it, due to the news cameras he had left on so that the world could watch their battle, the ones watching were laughing loudly and the three large men that Toad had mentioned before had very big smiles on their faces. They had always hoped to see him again but knew if they did he was liable to try and kill them, so sadly they left him alone. But they never gave up hope that they could be with him once again. “BRING HIM HOME TO US TOAD!!” The three shouted and with their combined voices, shook the house.
“I am getting bloody tired of you freak, I think its time we end this so I can take back what is rightfully mine.” He had grabbed Toad's fist in one hand and was squeezing very hard, fortunately for Toad he was able to withstand it.
Thinking quickly he made for a kick to the midsection and luck was with him and his hand was free. Pulling out his staff, he unfolded it and set it up in to the proper position and smirked at Virus and with one swing, swung at Virus like he was an oncoming baseball and before he could dodge it was smacked soundly in the jaw and was sent over turning and flying backwards and landed a bit hard onto the ground. “And you ARE OUTTA THERE!” The toad like mutant crowed proudly. “Toad-1, Virus-NOTHING!” And started to imitate crowd applauses.
Growling, Virus struggled to get to his knees and noticed that his own blood had been spilled. Wiping it off he fought to stand up and turned towards Toad. Once more rage could be seen in his facial features as well as some annoyance due to the blood that was coming out of his mouth and spit some of it out. By now and after doing a quick check, he took notice that some of his equipment was either missing or crushed and after his eyes came upon a bomb and he began to smile in a crazed yet scary kind of way and looked towards Toad. Quickly calming himself the way the therapist taught him after sending the old man to a coma he began to laugh and felt that the frog like mutant's time was over with and that the spell he had placed on his beloved Althea would be destroyed and have her back with him once more. He took it off the holder it was on and put up to eye level and Toad noticed this and gulped in alarm and became quickly worried.
“Oh yeah boyo, this.. is just for you mate!” Backing up a little he tore off the pin and launched it in the direction of Todd. “Dad always told me that me ol' kid's baseball pitching would come in handy!”
“Aww hell..” Toad muttered and going to into a position that mimicked a batter's. And swung as soon as the bomb got closer and prayed to God and every other deity out there that it wouldn't explode on him.
As divine intervention seemed to smile down upon Toad, the virus made grenade and the staff connected and the grenade went flying back at Virus. Seeing this Toad breathed out a huge sigh of relief and thanked the makers of the staff for making it big enough to hit things like a grenade. Virus' eyes widened in fear and before he could say anything the grenade exploded before making contact and he was engulfed in a fiery inferno and pain like he had never known before coursed through out him. And for once in his life he cursed himself for making the grenade be able to become harmful to the insides of the intended target. But what surprised everyone was that the flames were an emerald green, obviously to reflect the colors that Virus often wore. But for Toad this would signify an end to whatever innocence he still held after all the years of his life. As he looked around, the cameras that were controlled by Virus fell to the ground and shattered and he was thankful for it as he did not want to be seen by the entire world as tears fell down his face as he had felt he had taken another person's life.
“Toddles!” Althea had suddenly appeared and ran to embrace Todd into her arms and noticed that he had been crying but wisely said nothing and held him. “Ready to go home sweetie?” She whispered and seeing him nod a yes she activated her watch and the both of them went home. Unaware that a new figure had arrived on the scene.
The area that Virus was laying in had areas that were still on fire and Virus himself was beyond recognizable. Faint gasping sounds could be heard coming from him and the figure shook his head at the creature that was once a proud member of the Mutant Race. “Young Vincent, I am the Crimson Prophet and I come to you to give you another chance. You can either serve under my glorious master or die in an agonizing and slow death. The choice is yours.” He had gotten to one knee and placed a hand on the burned mutant's forehead. “Help...” Was his raspy reply and anyone that knew the Virus would never ask for help unless he absolutely needed it and this was one of those times.
The Prophet nodded and took himself and the near dead Virus to where his Master lied in wait for the day that he would rule over the Earth. And had anyone been there, they would have seen a very large smile on the face of the Prophet.
Finally I got it done and over with for this chapter! Stay tuned folks!
