Talon looked on with the Ancient one (aka Dr. Strange) and Krugarr
the 31-st century sorecerr supreme. They had been tracking developments
in the Amalgam situation, and they didn't like what they saw.
Krugarr: So, student how do you propose to end this? If the child dies
we do as well, and if the child lives, everything starts anew.
Talon thought about it. :Isn't there some way I could remove the powers
from him? Couldn't we close the void inside to make sure he wasnt a threat?
He could still rule his world but it wouldn't be at the risk of others.
Krugarr and the ancient one smiled.
Krugarr: that we can, but then you must guard and train him. We will
work through you and I know a couple of people in the other world who would
help I'm sure.
Talon nodded and went off to plan a stratagy with his fellow guardians.
Ancient one: Will this work?
Krugarr: If it doesn't my master...we will know very soon.
-----------------------
The Guradians appeared not far away from the Muir Island base.
Talon and Charlie-27 took the front. Starhawk went off to talk to Galactus,
Nikki,yondu, and vance followed talon and charlie.
Galactus chuckled and stood aside revealing Krugarr and the ancient
one.
Starhawk was visisbly upset as Talon hadn't said anything about them
helping.
As Starhawk flew off to leave Galactus zapped him unconcious.
Galactus:While I will stand aside for my part, I will make it a fair
battle as well. That is the bargain I made with the ancient one. And It
would be only him that could make me stand by after the damage I have done.
The ancient one, Krugarr and starhawk all left leaving Galactus to
monitor events as they unfolded.
The battle began with Nikki trying to out manuver a very persistant
multiple man. Her Wrist blaster didnt seem to do much good as when she
shot one down another 2 would appear. Charlie had made the mistake of calling
Saturn girl a wannabe and was taking his due pounding for it. She had tricked
him by letting him start to walk by, then grabbed his ankle threw him about
50 yards. Since then the two have gone toe to toe with neither budging
a inch.
Talon had made his way in past the guards with some help from Krugarr
and The ancient one who work working their magicks through him. He made
it to April's room to find her asleep but under guard by Sabertooth.
Vance and Yondu were having a difficult time as they were battling
Kang and Mystique. Kang was tring to match weaponry with Yondu's bionic
hand and Mystique was determined to get her hands on captain america's
sheild.
Now with everyone fighting, no one noticed the world ship starting
it's decent. Galactus walked out and watched as the mortals fought each
other in various ways. He often wondered why people wanted him to spare
a world that was inhabitied by people, some would say, that were as bent
on destruction as he himself was.
Galactus, with a wave of his hand trasported everyone to seperate rooms
on the world ship. There they could finish their battles and no one would
interfere with the plans that Krugarr and the ancient one had laid out.
Talon looked at Sabertooth. He had heard tales of him, though he knew
this wasn't the Sabertooth he knew. Sabertooth was supposed to be a feirce,
go for the jugular type. Someone who when they spotted ya didn't give ya
time to think. Not only was he giving Talon time to think, but there was
time left over to read a newspaper, watch tv and have a hardy lunch.
Sabertooth: Guess your wondering why I aint rushin ya.
Talon nodded. Sabertooth motioned for him to follow. They walked outside
to the hill where Blink's grave was. "Beloved pup and Daughter" was on
the gravestone.
Sabertooth: she was the only thing close to family I had, and I let
her down. You dont have to worry. I know you aren't here to hurt April,
I could tell that much.
Talon: how so?
Sabertooth: the way you came in. Calm, focused. Even a assassin has
some nerves screaming at him. your the childs dad I would guess.
Talon nodded.
Sabertooth:Found a way to end this mess?
Talon: hopefully yes.
Sabertooth:do it quick then. Because we have lost to many good folks
here..and I for one can be counted amongst the casualties as I have no
heart left. Not since she died.
Talon nodded and left Sabertooth alone with the grave of the only person
who ever cared for him.
Inside Galactus's world ship pieces were flying everywhere. Galactus
had to admidt he was finding the fighting entertaining. Saturn Girl and
Charlie-27 were still fighting to a stand still...no suprise there. both
had tremendous strength.
Suprisingly Yondu was overpowering Kang. Though he refused to use projectile
weapons he was faster and could hit and run faster than Kang.
Vance was winning over Mystique which was no suprise as Vance's psychic
gifts clearly gave him an advantage.
That left nikki. Nikki had been pummeled into submission by the multiple
men some time go. her hot temper had got the best of her and allowed Jaimie
to overpower her.
So now all the battles but one decided...how would April react to the
childs father coming home?
------------------------------------------------------------
Talon made his way back to April's room. She was awake and looking
at him.
April: So you've come to take it away?
Talon shook his head.:No. but I have come to bottle it's power. If
I can, then it can grow up to be what it was meant to be without the other
worlds being destroyed.
April looked shocked. All the trouble they went through and the ones
who have been hurt or killed, and now it means nothing? How could this
be?
Talon looked: Eh it's a comic...go figure...nothin ever makes sense.
April giggled nd the two kissed. Talon then, with the help of Krugarr
and The Ancient one brought the childs power under control.
As the last of the "troops" gathered by Kangs teleporter niiki ruhed
over to give Talon a hug.
Nikki:Are you sure you can't come back?
Talon nodded: April and I must stay here to raise the child and guide
it. In time it will be a powerfull being, with luck it will also be a kind
one as well.
Nikki nodded and Kang teleported the Marvel and DC people bck to their
respective homes. Talon teleported Kang back leaving the equipment should
they ever need it.
Talon and April walked back to muir isle as the child sat in wonder
of how the world was to be.
