Take It To The Grave

[Deleted]

Steve glanced over at Hulk, then back at Tony. "Big guy's got a point. You might need the training in case you get caught off-guard without a suit on." Steve commented about Hulk's statement. If Tony were training, that would probably be a good thing on his part so he didn't get himself killed for being so cocky around the other side. Plus, if he were captured, he could use some knowledge on how he could get out.

----

Tara gritted her teeth a moment, chewing minty gum that was keeping her calm and focused for the moment. Minty things seemed to help her think a lot better for some reason. She figured she remembered some sort of study that said minty gum helped you think better, but she discarded that memory a while ago. She glared down a test dummy, pistol in hand. Her trigger-happy finger had repeatedly pulled the trigger to shoot the test dummy up. Sure, the noises may have been pretty loud and obnoxious to some, but she didn't really care. She needed the practice, and it was a taste of the real world. You'd need to deal with the sounds of a battle and keep focus on your target.

Her aquamarine eyes shot to her pistol as she let out an aggravated sigh. She cursed under her breath, realizing she'd used the last of her bullets. "Well, now what do I get to do? Sit around on my hands?" she muttered, glancing around the area. She could find someone to train with... right? Instead, she found herself staring at her weapon, wishing it would magically reload itself, hoping something or someone would be distracting enough to grab her attention.

If she was going to be getting anywhere, she needed to actually care about the other army members.

[Deleted]

Hulk grunt pleased with Steve's comment before leaning forward and gently nudges Tony in the shoulder "Train" he say this time slightly more rough as if now demanding it to be done.

[Darla]

Spirit was pleased that someone could be able to use some way of making this easier as his face showed. Spirit then smiled to Ma-Ti taking trust with the young boy. He would indeed like it here most likely. He then smiled back as Ma-Ti told him he was a member of the critic army as it were. Spirit then turned to Wanderer and felt that the duck did have a trustful glow around him so the horse was ok with him around too
XXXX

"Whoa easy there birdie, no need to get hostile" Spoony said, not really taking the bird seriously but his tone said otherwise to prevent a fight with the puffin. He then heard the bird's name and almost laughed out loud but instead his cocky smile increased. Spoony turned to the boy though and he responded "Nice to meet ya Iceland. And your birdie too. I gotta admit I'm glad for any member on critic's team. It's been hell for a while"
XXXX

"Darla you watch out! Bambi's gonna get us!" Kiara laughed as she kept running. Darla laughed really hard and ran even faster. Bambi however kept puffing after them and was running too, trying to get the other three. Bambi responded back "Oh yeah I will!"
XXXX

Snob groaned "That's true. Well, we gotta find someway to punish him. He may think it'll be ok to do it again if we don't" Snob meant that but was smiling happily as he kept training with Roses. It was difficult to handle and harder to fight but he was handling it anyway
XXXX

Joe was too slow. He tripped instantly as the sword went through his feet. Joe got up quickly though and replied with a smile "Nice! Didn't see that one but next time you won't get such a chance!" He then went to marzgurl's legs, deliberately trying to trip her too. Joe wanted to win this time
XXXX

Critic definitely knew he'd regret it the moment Chick smiled. He knew it would be painful and he knew it'd be just plain shit afterwards but hey, at least he made her review the bratz movie. Maybe it was worth it? He wasn't sure anymore ever since he admitted to loving her. He was distracted enough to get kicked and although it didn't really hurt it definitely blew some wind out of him. He handled it though and went right after Chick with his sword.
XXXX

"Alright mom and dad! Alright! I'll go get a fun toy to play with first" Without any obligation from steve or the hulk, Tony went back inside to get a powered gun. When he came back, tony had a huge blaster in his hands, protective goggles in his eyes and replied to Steve with a happy grin "Hey captain. Ask me what this baby does. Seriously. Ask me"
XXXXX

"Oh really? I'm not surprised then that Lilo was like happy to see ya" 90's kid responded as Kim told her story. 90's kid got up and started to fight with the young woman yet again. This was really fun now that he thought about it. Without meaning to the young man told his story "Well, I'm no secret agent or anything cool like that but my friend's a superhero comic book reviewer. He's not training today because of Vyce getting IHeart and... Well a lot of people on this team including me really care for her and she's a nice person. I wish you met her before she got kiddnapped" He wasn't upset just talking out loud as he trained
XXXX

"Hmm yeah. I felt that way too before people realized they weren't treating me nicely. Once they did though things looked up for the better" Ralph commented as he and the woman were not training at the moment and just simply talking. It was as if they were old friends already. It was strange. He then frowned a bit as Vanelope was mentioned "Yeah. She's a good president. She believed in people having freedom and not someone to rule over them. She's a smart person too, she knows how to built transportation. I hope she's here too but not with that Ask Thatguy dude. I can tell from everybody talking about him that he screams trouble"
XXXXX

Holmes smiled to Linksano and responded "And you are a very impressive student. Don't worry. With my help along with Splinter's help, you will be a very deadly martial artist in no time" He then gently but firmly aimed a punch to Linksano, deliberately wanting the scientist to dodge it
XXXX

Meanwhile donny saw tara and couldn't help but feel curious about her. Splinter was talking to him and as the rat finished speaking he responded "Uh sensei? Do you mind if I go check on that young lady over there? She seems a bit in need of a partner to train with"

Splinter smiled, good old donny. Always wanting to help someone. It was a good quality. Splinter nodded "Yes. It is good that you want to train. Go ahead my son"

"Thanks sensei!" Donny replied cheerfully before going off to meet with Tara. Then donny's shyness as well as sweet side took over as he replied gently "Uh hi there ma'am. You need help?"

[Deleted]

Oh no. What was that giant weapon going to do? Steve was scared to receive an answer, but he figured he'd ask anyway. "Alright Tony, what exactly does that thing do? You're not going to blow someone's head clean off by using this for training, are you?" Steve said with concern as he stared down at the massive weapon. He really hoped Tony knew how to handle that thing, for everyone's safety.

----
Aquatic hued eyes went from the pistol to Donny. Casually slipping the pistol in a holster on her hip, Tara looked over at the turtle. She messed with her gum a little bit, until she stuck it on a back tooth with her tongue. Best not to be chomping and chewing while talking. She contemplated the question before responding with a shrug. "Sure, kid. Guess I could use some help." she said in reply. "Name's Sullivan. Tara Sullivan. What about you, Turtle Man? I can't be calling you Turtle Man all the time. Or kid. Or whatever other nickname I can come up with."

It felt odd to speak to a turtle, not to mention a turtle that she was eye to eye with. That was a bit unnerving. She had to get used to odd things like that on this army, though. She'd seen some pretty crazy members of the army. She'd seen an attractive blonde man, a guy and his puffin, giant turtles, a guy clearly stuck in the 90's, a dinosaur, and let's not forget the robots either. By now, nothing should surprise Tara.

[Deleted]

Hulk just rolls his eyes in a unimpressed fasion as he watches Tony hold the gun "Good" he grunts out now crouched in a gorllia like stance as he watches what Bruce's/his boyfriend will do next.

[Nostalgia Chick]

Ma-Ti smiled at Spirit and Wanderer glad to have them here.

"I'm glad you both decided to join." said Ma-Ti.

He glanced at Wanderer who looked curious about his ring.

"Gaia the spirit of the Earth gave me and four of my friends these chanted rings. The others got an element of nature earth, fire, wind, and water while my ring is heart. It gives me the power to speak to everyone, humans, and animals telepathically and I was linked to my four friends before but...."

He trailed off as he felt a familiar prescence as his ring began to glow. He put it to his head shocked at seeing Gi here as a member of the other army only she was different somehow. And she was fighting his telepathy. He stopped not wanting to hurt her. Gi was alive and on the other side. Had she been brainwashed like Goggles? Now that he knew he she was here had to save her. He made a mental note to talk to Critic and the others unaware most of them already knew about Gi and had been hiding it from him not sure how to tell him.

XXXX

Littlefoot laughed as he kept running having a blast. He hadn't had this much fun in awhile. Bambi was catching up to Darla and Kiara it looked like.

"Watch out. He's going to get you." said Littlefoot, laughing.

He paused running by Lilo, Spirit, Ma-Ti, and Wanderer.

"Lilo you want to play tag? Bambi's it." said Littlefoot.

He saw Bambi catching up and took off again not wanting to get tagged at least not so soon.

XXXX

"Well we'll most of them back to their dimensions. But the others well Mechakara and Insano have been trying to take over the world for years now. Ask That Guy just gave them the opportunity. Even if he stopped or got bored after losing Insano and Mechakara would still be a threat. We might have to like send them to another dimension or something like Linkara did to Vyce before." said Roses.

XXXX

(ooc: Ouch. for a second i thought the sword stabbed his foot or something. xd)

Marzgurl smirked seeing her attack worked and chuckled.

"Well you gotta always be on your toes when around me." said Marzgurl.

Although Joe had surprised her knocking her over this time. She laughed and grinned at him.

"Well you're not general of your own army for nothing. Glad I'm not your real enemy." said Marzgurl, half-joking, half-serious.

She got up ready to fight again. She smiled and charged at him again swinging her sword at him.

XXXX

Chick smiled as they kept sparring. She would look forward to making him review an awful girly film or tv show. Whatever it was she knew she'd enjoy watching him review it. She swung her sword at him dodging a blow from him narrowly. They had both improved over the past few weeks since the war started. She never would have thought she'd be this good with a sword even though she knew she still had a lot to learn.

"So Critic? You ready to give up?" she taunted.

XXXX

Kim nodded.

"Yeah. Lilo was more resourceful than I realized. She ended up saving me." said Kim.

She smiled knowing she wouldn't underestimate Lilo again after that mission. And hearing Lilo's sister was one of the captives only made her more determined to rescue them.

"He reviews comic books? That sounds interesting. I used to read them when I was younger but I kind of grew out of them. But it's nice to know who to ask if I wanted to get back into reading them." said Kim.

She paused as he mentioned Iheart and nodded.

"I'm sorry to hear they're gone. But we'll get them Chester, Iheart, and the others back. I've performed a few rescues in my world. I'm sure we can get your friends back easily." said Kim.

XXXX

Rogue nodded sadly knowing there were prejudiced people no matter what world you were in. But at least people could change as he'd been given another chancce. If she showed up here she'd make sure she ended up here. No kid should be working for an enemy. She really thought kids shouldn't be involved at all but it wasn't her army. She would just make sure to keep an eye on the children members of the army if they went out to battle.

"I'm sure if she shows up it will be here. And that Ask That Guy just sounds evil. I've heard he's tricked good people and animals into working for him making him sound like the good guy. And they won't believe anything our side says to them." said Rogue.

XXXXX

Linksano narrowly dodged the punch after hearing Holmes praise. He then swung a kick at Holmes's leg and a punch at his chest sure one of them would collide. He had to get better at this and was sure with two teachers like Holmes and Splinter he would in time.

[Nostalgia Critic]

"It cuts things to the ground. This is gonna be a blast! Litterally!" With that he aimed at a safe far-away tree and blasted it. Suddenly the tree went down with a crash. Tony smirked to his more cautious friend and replied "Well captain. What do ya think? Pretty damn impressive huh?" Man, he was surely expecting some backlash but he was having fun so whatever
XXXX

Donny responded with a cheerful tone "I'm Donatello. You can call me Donny or Don. Most people do anyway" Donny then noticed that Tara said her name and replied "Nice to meet you Tara. I guess I'm a bit weird looking I'm sure but hey, I figured you want to train with someone or something"
XXXX

"Me niether. It'd be pretty weird to have a good friend of mine on the opposite side" Joe responded cheerfully again. Joe then dodged Marzgurl's sword and swung his to make contact with her sword and he pushed trying to get her down a bit. He knew that marzgurl was competitive but hey so was he.
XXXXX

Spirit saw Ma-Ti feel off-edge and instantly frowned in confusion. Spirit went over to the boy and responded in his head Are you alright friend? What is wrong? Is someone here? Call it paranoia but spirit just got here and didn't really know who was who yet
XXXX

Lilo turned to Morpheus "Can I morpheus? Can I go play?" Morpheus chuckled and nodded. Lilo happily ran over and replied to her other friends "Hang on guys! I'm coming!" With that the hawaiian girl catched up to them.

Darla ran faster leaving Kiara behind. Bambi ran as fast as he could before tagging Kiara. Bambi laughed and replied "Your turn kiara! You're it!" Bambi then ran off and warned littlefoot "Kiara's it! Watch out!" Kiara pouted before running after the other four children
XXXXX

"Yeah now that you think about it. If he wasn't given so many people, Ask Thatguy never would've done this. Maybe that's the solution! We don't go for Ask Thatguy, we go for only his teammates!" Snob responded as he both trained and figured out a perfect solution to maybe stall the war more
XXXX

Critic was having some fun. Despite himself he felt himself getting better and training actually was a bit more fun with Chick around. Critic fought hard and smirked back to chick's taunt. With a joking tone of voice he cried out "Never!" Then he aimed his sword a bit more to her sword, trying not to hurt her at the same time get her down.
XXX

"Yeah. I know it's weird to review comic books but he does and he's pretty good at it" 90's kid responded as he kept fighting Kim. He then responded to what she said afterwards "Thanks. I'm sure we will. I just was thinking about it to myself. That's all. I guess I'm worried about them anyway" He then kept fighting a bit more
XXXX

"Yeah. I heard some people are even brainwashed. This guy gives me the creeps. I just hope vanelope stays clear of that guy or is at home" Ralph replied with a unsure frown. He didn't like the guy from the sounds of him and it was more uncomfortable to feel the pressure of war being made just because some guy wanted to control everyone. It sounded familiar to Ralph and yet it was completely different.
XXXX

Holmes got the punch to his chest and backed up. Nevertheless he smirked to his training partner and kept fighting. He aimed a few punches and kicks as he kept going after Linksano

[Deleted]

Steve watcned as the tree took a tumble down to the ground with a grimace. "Tony, that could probably kill someone if you're not careful." Steve said in response to the weapon. "Are you going to be running around the battlefield and taking out a lot of men with that thing?" It wasn't much of a stretch for Steve to imagine Tony skipping with that thing, demolishing buildings and slapping people with the giant gun. Steve didn't like it whatsoever.

----

"Oh trust me, I think weird is the norm around here." Tara said when Donny said he was a bit odd looking. "'Sides, I gotta train with someone, since I'm all out of bullets. So, how do you train, Donny? Punch some faces, martial arts style, bash skulls in, break limbs, hand-to-hand combat, a bullet to the brain, there's all sorts of ways to either kill or injure your enemy, all of the above can be ways to train." Off-handedly, Tara began toying around with the dog tags hanging around her neck. "So, how do you want to train today?"

[Nostalgia Chick]

Marzgurl nodded.

"Well you still might. They still have Goggles on their side. I hope we can get her back. Spoony and Ma-Ti haven't really been the same since she was taken from us." said Marzgurl.

They kept fighting as his sword hit hers as he tried to push her back. She tried to push back just as hard. She wanted to win but she also wanted to get stronger.

XXXXX

Ma-Ti paused turning to Spirit and smiled.

"My ring sensed another friend of mine followed me from my world. But she's working for Ask That Guy. I don't know what they did to her but I'm going to undo it." said Ma-Ti.

He was convinced Gi was under a spell like Goggles or tricked like Michelangelo and the others. He just had to help her somewhow.

XXXX

Littlefoot chuckled running away from Kiara. He smiled glad Lilo had joined them. Kiara was pretty fast. So he guessed one of them would be it soon. If he was it next he wouldn't mind. He was having fun with his new friends.

XXXXX

Roses nodded.

"You're right. Once his army's gone he won't be a threat to anyone." said Roses.

They kept fighting as her sword clashed against Snob's.

"Maybe once we free the others we start targeting them and freeze them like we talked about earlier. Less members for them will make it easier for us to win." said Roses.

XXXX

Chick chuckled as they kept fighting. She paused seeing Ma-Ti looking troubled as she glanced back at Critic as they kept fighting.

"Have you told him about Gi yet Critic? It's only a matter of time before he runs into her." said Chick.

XXX

"Well I've heard of weirder things. If he enjoys doing it and helps out other people know what's good and what's bad then that's fine by me." said Kim.

After all the crazy super villains she'd run into before a guy who reviewed comic books was normal in comparison. She smiled glad he was cheerping up a bit.

"Just don't worry too much because you'll drive yourself crazy. Chester and everyone will be back before you know it." said Kim.

She smiled as they kept fighting as she swung a punch ath im.

XXXX

Rogue nodded.

"I was almost brainwashed in my world and a few of my friends have been too. I hated having to fight against them. Hopefully we can save everyone they've enslaved or tricked. No one should be forced into serving them." said Rogue.

She smiled and flew at him swinging a punch at him deciding to get back to fighting.

XXXX

Linksano smiled seeing it had gone through but Holmes was still more skilled than him. And soon he was knocked to the ground again. He chuckled standing up and dusting himself off.

"Well no one said this would be easy. But at least I'm having fun" said Linksano.

He charged at Holmes again swinging a kick at his feet.

[Deleted]

"isn't that the point?" Hulk grumbles out jade colored eyes turn to stare into Steve's own blue "to smash them?" by them Hulk meant the bad guys obliviously he then turns to Tony "Hulk can do better though" he grins down at the billonare jerking his head motining to the destoryed punching bag or what was even left of it.

[Deleted]

Wanderer glared at the ring that the youth had on his hand, interested as he listened to his story. Indeed, it was one of the most bizziare stories he had ever heard before, but then again so was the story of a Guard Duck getting killed and supposedly getting resirected and waking up in a strange new universe and joining an army that he held no knowledge about.

In response, the solemn mallard just nodded as he continued to study the ring with interested eyes. "Hmm, interesting." He only said as he glanced back towards Spirit, the mustang not too far away.

--

At this point, the Icelandic teen placed his hands in his jacket pockets, and glanced towards Spoony. "A while since what?" He asked curiously about the matter. "Um, so what exactly are your troops doing right now, training I suppose?" He asked, answering his own question.


(ooc: Sorry, I have no muse for this place. /sobs)

[Tony Stark/Iron Man]

Tony couldn't help but smirk as Hulk defended him againest Steve. Something about him boosted his confidence, not that it wasn't big already. He turned a bit to Steve and shook his head "Weapons are meant to kill things for a reason. Don't worry, we're far away from everyone else" He then chuckled at hulk "Besides the big guy's right, he can do better"
XXXX

Spirit was also interested in the ring. It was quite helpful and unlike wanderer who glared at it, Spirit observed it tenderly, as if it was a new child. He was interested in it and was grateful for it's help. He then looked to ma-ti and offered a small assuring smile. He then thought I'm sure things will turn up
XXXX

"Uh.... Ever heard of nijitsu?" Donny asked Tara after she spoke about all types of fighting. Donny was always a shy person but Tara's demeanor caused him to smile and respond back as good at he can. Donny showed his bo and smirked slightly to show his point
XXX

"Nothing" Spoony replied to the icelandic teen. He then focused on what else Iceland said and responded "We're training, yes. It's pretty much getting ready for other things. Since my partner's with others, ya wanna train with me?"
XXXX

"We'll get them back no worries" Joe assured as he kept training hard with Marzgurl. He made sure to be gentle with her since they were talking. He commented "They'll be able to handle themselves until we get them back. Spoony and ma-ti are tough"
XXXX

As the children kept running, Kiara made sure to tag someone. She was near Littlefoot which caused Bambi to respond "Watch out littlefoot!" Kiara aimed for his back and tried to gently tap the dinosaur boy
XXXX

"It doesn't sound bad at all. We'll talk to them about it" Snob responded as he defended himself againest Roses' sword. He was focused but also talking about other matters related to this
XXXX

"Not yet. I will though" Critic said, this tone showed this was the end of the discussion. He was worried about Gi suffice it to say. He was worried she'd kill Ma-Ti, he didn't know why but he just did.

[Deleted]

Hulk lets out a pleased rumbling noise that comes deep from his chest, almost like a purr. "Hulk always right" he grins at Tony. Jade eyes them turn to look at Steve "anything else Hulk can do?" he says.

[Deleted]

Steve sighed in exasperation. "I meant I was worried that it could kill someone on our side. But if you can seem to handle it, I'll trust you. At least, this time I'll trust you with a giant gun," Steve responded, crossed arms against his chest. "You've definitely got a point there, Stark. Surprisingly, I agree. Hulk over here can cause quite a bit of damage." When the question popped up about what Hulk should do next, Steve was at a loss. He glanced at the hulking beast, then looked over at Tony. "Good question. I think Tony over here might have a good idea."

---

"Ninjitsu? Yeah, I've heard of it, but I'm not exactly an expert in the style. American fighting styles are more my thing," Tara responded with a shrug. Ninjitsu. Wasn't that the ninja style of training? She assumed so. Aquatic hued orbs wandered to his bo staff, then back towards his face. "Well, considering the only weapon I've got is a gun that's out of bullets, how about we make this interesting? Why don't you come at me with that big whoop ass stick, and I'll use nothing but my hands and feet for self-defense."

[Nostalgia Chick]

Ma-Ti nodded glancing at Spirit and Ma-Ti.

"Yeah. I guess it's just another thing to add to the list. Some of my friends including my girlfriend were kidnapped. And now I find out one of my friends is working for the enemy. It's just a lot to take in. But you're right. Things will work out." said Ma-Ti.

"I hope." thought Ma-Ti.

He paused as he petted Spirit's mane absent mindedly. It seemed Spoony had a new training partner and he wasn't sure if he was in the mood for training anyway.

"Well you guys want to train? Or we could join the others on the porch until someone's free to train." said Ma-Ti.

XXXX

"You're right. I just wish no one had to handle themselves. First Chick, Morpheus, and Patch. Now they stole 8 of our friends. This can't keep happening. The first time was a battle. But this last time was at our house." said Marzgurl.

She paused seeing Bambi, Littlefoot, and some other kids playing as she turned back to Joe.

"Those kids need to feel safe. We all do. I just hope we can update security and make stronger weapons. Whatever we need to do. This should not happen again especially at our house." said Marzgurl.

She kept training with Joe swinging her sword at him as she swing a kick at his legs again.

XXXX

Littlefoot turned too late as Kiara tapped him making him it. He groaned but saw she was gone again before he could tag her back. He turned and ran after Bambi and Lilo since they were the closest.

"I won't be it for long." said Littlefoot.

He chuckled as he kept running. He hadn't had this much in awhile and hoped he'd have a lot more fun with his new friends.

XXXX

Roses smiled as they kept training.

"I never thought I'd be even this good with a sword. Just a month of training has changed us. I really don't want this war to go on forever but at least we're getting better. They should have tried to kill us when they had the chance. Instead they gave us time to get better and that was their mistake. And I know we'll stop them and get our friends back. A shame we don't have more of the others here. Phelous, Sage, and the others would be a big help. You'd think they'd come by now with the number of reviewers we have here." said Roses.

She sighed as they kept fighting. She hoped some of the others came soon. They really didn't need Ask That Guy tricking anyone else into joining him.

XXXX

Chick nodded seeing he wanted to drop the topic. She smiled seeing the kids playing and sighed.

"Kids shouldn't be in a war. I wish we could find a way to at least send them back and the ones on the other side too. Maybe we should start training them more. They're going to fight whether we want them too or not. Splinter and Morpheus I think would be good teachers. And it'd give Morpheus someting to do while he's recovering." said Chick.

She swung her sword at him as they kept fighting
