Wednesday, August 30, 2006
Polar wakes to the sound of the "hotel" door shutting. "Polar get up!" Cain shouts. As polar lets out a achnowledging yawn as he sits up. which he was then pelted by a stack of money, small but enough you would say. "go get cleaned up, they'll give ya a shave and a hair cut at the barber two blocks down. i'll pick you up some clothes." Cain told polar. " what's wrong with the way i look?" polar asked looking in a mirror. "dont ask, just go and do what i tell you to do." And remembering his deal he got ready and headed towards what Cain called a barber with the stack of money he threw at him.

As Polar walks through the door he's greeted by a man that looked like he was eighty. The man was nice and acted like he was in his teens. "come an sit in this here chair lad." said the old man spinning around a chair that was connected to the floor by a rod. Polar did as the man had asked, as he sat down the man asked, "so what would you like to have?" Remembering what Cain had said, "A shave and hair cut please," Polar repeated. "Alrighty, just have to lean you back here. there we go, ok just relax and i'll have you fixed up in no time." replied the barber.

The barber moved with incredible speed, there were cuts that Polar just hoped the barber didnt miss, which the old man didnt. When the barber finished Polar looked in the mirror at a completly different looking person. The man was good, very good. "thank you sir, you did an exelent job. here's the money." Polar complimented as he handed over the stack of money. "oh thank you so much sir thank you." the barber cried when he counted the stack of twenty's. "well ...umm..." Polar started as he realized he didnt catch the mans name. "Mike, i'm Mike" the barber answered. " ok..umm...mike thank you again for the clean up, and take care." With saying that Polar walked out of the shop, and headed back for the hotel.

when polar got there he saw his clothes laying on the bed, and figured Cain just left them there and went off to do what ever. Polar grabs the clothes and walks into the bathroom, he comes out 2 minutes later and looks at himself in the fullenth mirror he had. What Polar saw shocked him.... he looked good. Showing off he iced his hands up, he was amazed.



As Cain walked in Polar stopped playing with his powers and his hands. "where'd you get them clothes? thought i said i was gonna get them." Cain asked, a confused look on his face.

"off the bed, where i thought you put them." Polar replied

"i didn't put nothing on the beds, but hey they look good."

"oh look at that the Juggernaut just gave a compliment." Polar laughed.

"dont push it kid." Cain snapped.

"hey i was just joking bud, dont blow a lid..." Polar laughed some more.

"Shut up kid, and lets go."

"where are we going?" Polar asked.

"to find a mutant a ran into before, his name is Cove. a Good fighter, but he's been missing for a couple years now." cain replied

"why are we looking for this mutant?"

"he's one of the smartest scientist that you'd ever meet." Cain said.

"oh, well lets get going!" replied Polar.

With the objective clear they headed out towards the great canadian mountain forests. When Polar walks into the woods he notices there's little light as which to move by, and as a bird called out in the far distance it's voice echoed down the tree line. As the wind changed Polar caught a sent of other beings, and starts to notice the shadows are starting to move.

"Hey Cain there's something out here. " polar anounced.

"It's a forest of coarse there's things out here." cain replied sarcasticly.

As they entered deeper into the forest, the smell get's stronger and the shadows are becoming more clear. Polar makes out three humanoids that are lurking around, following them, and watching them. Then as Polar and Juggernaut reached a closed in ring of trees, polar the shadows disapear. Next thing he knows the three humanoids are in front of them. One was really thin, he had fire red hair and a flame tatoo on his chest. The second was huge, about the size of Juggernaut and seemed to have no hair to him as he wore a big brown friar robe. As for the last one he looked like a normal person, except the green lines running up his arms.

"Stop where you are!! Give us all your money and things, and we'll think about letting you live."
The one with the tatoo told them.

"Do you know who your talking to pipsqueek?" Juggernaut asked annoyed.

"We dont care who you are, either do as we say or we'll just have to take it." the huge bald man replied.

"I AM THE UNSTOPABLE JUGGERNAUT!! And i dont take orders from runts like you!" Juggernaut roared.

"Fine then, We get to do this the fun way." The Man with the tatoo grinned.

Next thing polar see's is a ball of fire come out of nowhere, hovering above the tatoo man's up turned hand, and him throwing it towards Cain. To Polars amazement, Cain doesnt move, he lets the ball hit him and diminish as he laughs.

"My turn!!" Cain yells as he picks up a head size rock, and sends it zipping through the air at the fire man. Once again Polar is shocked, as the big man steps in front of it and actually turns to a stone man before the rock hits him and watches him absorb it into himself. Not only was Polar shocked but Juggernaut as well.

"As you can see your powers are useless, so i give you the chance once more to give up and live." the fire dude repeated.

"your gonna be the ones that will be beggin for mercy when i'm finished with ya," Juggernaut shot back.

"have it your way then!" The flame guy laughed as he pulled up two more fireballs and hurled them at Polar and Juggernaut.

The only thing that saved Polar not having any armor or such was his speed. As for Cain the ball just had no affect on his armor, but provoking him into running at the little man at full speed. The ground shook with every foot step as Juggernaut ran forward, and as he got nearer to the man he pulled back and arm pumping for the hit. The punch directed to the tatoo man would have killed a bear, nevertheless the man, but once again the bigger man of the three steped in front of Juggernaut already changed and caught the punch in his left palm. As the Fist met Palm pieces of rock started to fly as Juggernaut powered all the way through the arm of the stone man. The big man screamed and flung out with his good arm sending Cain flying through the air into a tree, breaking it in half.

Polar watched as the man stopped screaming and walking over to a bolder behind them and absorbed it into himself as he had done with the rock ealier. Though what happened next polar couldn't believe The mans arm started to grow back. AS Juggernaut got up the stone man ran at polar mimicing Juggernauts Punch just seconds ago. Once again it was Polars speed that saved him, dodging the punch by inches.

"Polar Fight back!!" Juggernaut yells as he takes another fireball.

Realizing there is no other way, Polar listens to Cain. As the Stone man charges again, Polar dodges again, but this time grabing his arm and tossing him with ease at the man throwing fireballs at Juggernaut, which wasnt causeing damage but was keeping him at bay. that's when Polar noticed The small man with the green lines hadnt moved through the whole thing, he was just standing still, but there was a small difference the green lines were getting brighter and Polar could smell the breath of the man as he was concentrating on his hands.

As Juggernaut charged the other two men that were now getting back up, the small mans eye's turned bright green and two gigantic roots came out of the ground and wrapped around Cain, Polar could see the things tightening, but once again Juggernauts armor held strong. Though the roots couldnt hurt Cain, they did keep him bound. With his eyes on Cain Polar almost missed the two small vines slithering towards him. As they started to wrap around him, he felt them squeezing the breath out of him, they had too many wraps on him for his strength to break them, he could hear the rock and fire guys laughing as Polar begain to black out.


Time to go...
Tuesday, August 22, 2006
as the week went by polar thought of how he was going to react to meeting new mutants and what they were gonna be like. On the last day of the week Cain came out of the bar and walked into the woods where Polar had been training and staying for the week. As cain reached polar he saw him lift a tree that was bigger around than him up and toss it around like it was a paperweight.

"alright kid, time to go," Cain said as he watched Polar drill the tree into the ground.

"okay, so what we riding? a plane? a helicopter?" Polar curiously asked.

"No, try a big boat carrier." replied Cain.

"okay, we'll lead the way bud," Polar said with a grin.

"kid, i'm not your buddy, and dont call me one again.." Cain sternly corrected.

" then dont be callin me no kid. I'm probably as old as you are," Polar threw back.

" HA! as old as i am huh? how old are ya kid? early twenties'?" Cain laughed.

" nooo... matter of fact i'm fourty. the little healing thing i have keeps me from aging like normal people and mutants, unfortunately that's all it does. I wish it would heal cuts and such, then i wouldnt have to keep buying first aid stuff." explained Polar.

" hmm..... that's interesting, well kid your still younger than me, and even if you wasnt i'd still call you kid." cain joked. With that comment they laughed and Polar started to follow Juggernaut to a freight carrier.

After three days of thier ocean voyage, Polar starts to get curious about where they were going, So he ask's cain, " Hey juggs, where you taking me anyways?" with a sharp look Cain replies as he leans back up against a storage unit. " canada is where we're setting out at. From there i dont know." Polar then heard a small snoring sound comming from Cain, and realized he'd gone to sleep.

The afternoon of the fourth day, they came to port. As Polar looked around he couldn't believe what his eyes was seeing. The trees were huge and green, the docks were filled with hundreds of people, there were buildings that were bigger than the Inn from the village, and lastly a strange metal box that was moving on four wheels with no horse or mule pulling it. At the look on Polars face Cain laughed and says " Welcome to the future." As for the rest of the day they got set up in something Cain called a hotel. "eat kid, and get some sleep we'll be leaving in the morning."

Following Cains advice Polar found food in a place called a grociery store, that he paid for with the little dollars he'd had left from home. As he laid on a soft white bed, he closed his eyes to all kinds of sounds from outside.


Juggernaut and The Hang Over... how it all began.....
Friday, August 18, 2006
As Polar apologizes for the mistake, he buys Cain another beer since polar's question agrravated Cain to the point of squeezing his glass apart. " i'm sorry sir, i meant no disrespect," polar says handing Cain his beer, "It's just that i havent ever met another mutant before." Calming down, Cain takes the offered beer and drinks half in one swallow. " Just watch who your callin a mutant.." Cain replies. After about four more beers Polar try's to talk with Cain again.

"umm mr. Cain?" polars quietly tries... " have you seen other mutants anywhere?"

"kid, they're all over the place. You just have to look for them," replies Cain, "But you have to get outta here first if your lookin fer mutants, there's not one around here for miles."

" i know.... where are you from Cain? " polar asks.

" heh, i'm from all over the U.S." Cain replies with a laugh, " I was at Wenchester, before i came here. Now i've been to a couple places on the way, but that was the last i saw a mutant... and i'd rather not go there anytime soon."

"where u headed next then?"

" i dunno really, i figured i'd hang around here a week or so and head out." Cain says shrugging off the question.

"When you leave ......" polar starts.

"when i leave..what, kid?" Cain asks.

"When you leave can i travel with you?" Polar replies.

At the question Juggernaut just scratches his chin an replies with a " let me think about it". and for the next three hours they sat, drinking beer and talking away... with polar buying most of the drinks of course. After Cains thirtyeth beer or so he turns to Polar and says, "Can you fight kid?" As Polar searches Cains face for any sense of a joke, he relizes that he's serious.

"A little, enough to get by with." Polar replies with a shaky laugh.


"this aint no laughin matter boy," Juggernaut snaps, "If yer gonna be runnin with me you've got to know how to fight, because we gonna be gettin in some and i aint gonna be worried bout takin care of no kid."

"i can handle my own!" Polar snaps back.

Cain start's to laugh, which for a man of his size is a quite humorous thing, " Alright kid, have it yer way. Just know this i aint no babysitter, you'll have to work fer yer money and pay fer yer own things, And most of all Do What i tell ya when i tell ya got it punk!"

"ha, no problem. I think i can handle all of that, Just let me know when we're headed out," Polar replies as he stands up and heads for the door. When he reaches the door, Polar turns around and adds laughing, "by the way Juggs, your gonna have one hell of a hangover tomorrow.... Have a nice night."


The Juggernaut
Wednesday, August 16, 2006
Polar arrives back at his wooden shelter, where the snow was glimmering off the twelve foot tall roof. As he sets the deer beside the almost depleted wood pile, polar catches the faint sent of a polar bear. Following the smell Polar lays eyes on the wreckage of his supplies, It seemed to him that the beast was scavaging for food. It was rare for the bears to wander into these woods, but it must've been starving to chance it. As polar neals down to poke around a couple broken medical jars he lets out a sigh.

"I've got to protect my supplies better," Polar thinks to himself, "grrr... Now I've got to go to the village for more supplies, i guess dinner is jus gonna have to wait."

Thinking on dinner, Polar takes a few peices of wood from his small pile and builds a box the size of the deer, and hangs it between two 6 foot wooden logs. "That should keep the animals out of it," Polar mutters to himself, " I hope!"

From there on Polar heads to the only human habitat anywhere close to him, a small village that is close enough that Polar can make the trip in good time, but far enough away that the villagers doesnt come looking for him. Polar has traded with the villagers on many occasions for medical supplies, clothing, and on the rare occasion beer and ale. They are a decent manner of people, though they dont care for polar to be around long, and so he just trades and heads back into the woods. As Polar becomes closer to the village he looks around for some good wood, seeing a nice size tree, Polar walks over and puts his iced hands on the trunk and began to push the tree over. The tree's roots made a large cracking sound as they snapped under the presure of Polar's strenth. He then picks up the trunk, not being able to reach around the trunk and lifts it onto his shoulder. After getting the Tree centered, He begins to walk into the town.

As polar is walking to the mill of the village, he notices a man almost bigger than him talking with the inn keeper outside the bar. Polar starts to wonder who this man is and why is he dressed in a big maroon armor, and in his hand he's holding a weird shaped helmet. Polar drops the large tree off at the lumbermill and recieves his money for it, but instead of buying more supplies, he walks over to the bar where the man in the armor just went in. As polar walks in he see's the inkeeper walking past and stops him.

"Who is that man in the wierd armor?" Polar asks the man.

"That's cain marko he comes up here every once in a while." Replies the inkeep.

"huh, is that right," Polar jokes, "well he sure looks friendly an all, looking like a tank."

"he is alright customer for the most part, " the inkeeps says.

"Alright," replies Polar.

With that Polar walks over to Cain and sit's next to him. " excuse me sir? " Polar says. "dont mess with me punk," replies Cain. " But i wanted to ask you sir, are you a mutant?"
Polar asks. At that Cain becomes heated "I'M NO MUTANT, I AM THE UNSTOPPABLE JUGGERNAUT!!"" ....................




Just Another Day
Sunday, August 13, 2006
Another day goes by, as polar hunts for food here in the snowy woods, his current home. As he waits in the treetops for his prey to show itself, he starts to wonder if he'll ever find his creator or this one that shadows speaks of, this, this..... kodiak. As polar is sitting on his branch he smells the wind change and catches the sent of a deer close by, Polar starts to move silently through the treetops trying to spot his meal. He stops, there it is, not 5 feet away, oblivious to his presence.

he lets out a small growl..." lunch time" .

As the deer turned it's head to the growl, polar leaps finishing the animal in one motion. Polar observes the dead beast noticing how quickly it was done, and as his stomach growls polar reaches down and freezes the deer to keep the meat fresh, then hauling it onto his wide shoulders, he begins his trek back to his makeshift shelter.....
