Day Four

Dante’s Abyss 2015 Finale
Doomguy, Deadpool, Mickey Mouse, Sasuke Uchiha

Doomguy stepped away from the corpse and shook the blood from the head of his hammer. Bending down, he grabbed the nailgun and turned to ensure he wasn’t being ambushed. He spotted some movement down near where the ‘lawn’ hit the forest, but before he could move in for a better look, he saw a flash of naked flesh near the other side of the clinic. The marine turned, his eyes settling upon Deadpool and the mercenary’s bulging, bloodstained underwear. It wasn’t crime scene in the man’s pants that nearly rankled Doomguy… it was the BFG in his hands.

“This familiar?” Deadpool snickered as he pulled the trigger. The plasma round roared through the air and slammed the ground where Doomguy had stood, plucking the marine off his feet and throwing him even though he was a few feet away from the epicenter of the blast.

“Nice,” a voice replied, causing the mercenary to spin around. The BFG was batted out of his grasp, and before he could retaliate, a palm crashed into his chin. A beat later the heel of Sasuke caught him in the jaw and knocked him down. Deadpool pulled his duffel bag over and grabbed the lightsaber out of it. As he activated the red energy sword and rose back to a standing position, Sasuke drew his Chidori sword, which crackled and hissed as the white-blue lightning blade surged up from the handle.

“Does this make me the bad guy?” Deadpool chuckled as he looked at his red weapon and then over at the blue blade of Sasuke.

“We are beyond humor,” the one-eyed ninja replied through his mangled mouth as he swung the weapon at Deadpool’s neck. The mercenary parried the attack and stepped forward, his wrist twisting as he tried to redirect the blade into the ninja’s heart. Sasuke pulled back and nearly fell over as the energy sword cleaved the air in front of him.

Deadpool himself backed up, but as he did, he held out the saber and grinned as he found the other button, activating the second blade. “You know, I always thought this was highly impractical, but something is telling me that it’s going to not manage to sever all my limbs.” With that, the merc-with-a-mouth moved forward, spinning and twirling the saber from blade to blade, each powerful swing forcing Sasuke to defend from a different direction or be sawed in half.

“C’mon, that’s it?” Deadpool shouted as he threw a swing high. Sasuke dodged right on cue, but this time the mercenary split apart the lightsaber and swung the second energy blade at the ninja’s face. Although he dodged once more, Sasuke left himself wide open for the bare, dirt-stained foot that smashed into his jaw a beat later. The ninja crashed through part of the wall and didn’t seem to move. Deadpool smiled as he stepped forward and went to thrust a blade into the ninja’s heart. Before he could, a bolt of lightning exploded against the wall in front of him.

The mercenary turned around and found himself looking at his favorite ruthless murderer—Mickey Mouse. On the back of the small prime, a slug-like organism pulsated softly, its tendrils embedded into the mouse’s fur. Deadpool didn’t need to review previous threads to know that it was the same creature worn by his very first friend in the Abyss.

“Here to try and finish the job?” Deadpool asked as he crossed the lightsabers in the air in front of him.

“I might enjoy this,” Mickey growled as he ran forward, his hammer releasing another bolt of lightning as he charged.

Deadpool dove to the wayside, his sabers crackling as they sliced through the ground. The mercenary landed on his feet and grinned. “Yes… give in to your anger!” He shouted as he smacked the energy weapons together as if they were his own palms, causing them to throw off sparks and hiss each time they hit.

“Enough!” Mickey shouted as he ran forward, his small body springing up over the swing of the lightsaber blades. As he passed up and over the mercenary, the mouse scowled as the head of Mjolnir flashed white and released a blast of lightning down into Deadpool’s neck and back.

As Mickey landed on his feet a few yards away, a convulsing mercenary hit the ground and continued to writhe for a few moments after the lightning dispersed. “You did this to me,” the mouse muttered as he started to walk toward the dazed prime. After a few steps, a clearly disoriented Deadpool looked over at him and smirked.

Mickey lifted Mjolnir once more, but before the lightning could spring from the ancient stone, the Malefactor shuddered. The mouse turned to see the scowling marine holding the giant plasma weapon.

For once, Doomguy seemed to be genuinely smiling. “Reunited at last.”

A burst of plasma erupted through the air.

Mickey Mouse, his injuries numbed by the toxins of the orgosynth attached to his back, cleared from its path.

Wade Wilson, his cancer-addled body worn down and battered after days of triumphant fights and schemes, was less fortunate.
