Max's New ride.
Tuesday, September 19, 2006
After a couple weeks of riding the bus, and taking detours due to Max's image, They finally reached New York state line. Polar watched as the bus drive pulled into a rest stop and parked it at the back. As he got up and stretched, he turned and smiled. " Better go wake up Max," He told Polar as he walked off the bus. Polar got up and stretched himself as he walked to the back of the bus where there was a small room where Max was sleeping. When polar opened the door there was max staring him straight in the face, Polar jumped back crashing into the the bathroom and plopping down on the make shift toilet. Then polar just heard a yawn, and i film retract from Max's eye's, and with a sleeply voice he says.... "What?"

"We've reached state line bud. " Polar replied trying to pry his but from the toilet.

"told you to close the lid when you got done, but do you listen? Noo..... ha and now your stuck." Max said mockingly, as he dropped down on to his feet. "Here let me help ya."

"Thanks" Polar replied being back on his feet.

Max led the way off the bus, his nano coat covering most of his mutated body and a nice little hat to cover most of his head. Polar followed close behind, not to shabby in the clothes they picked up from a small store on the way there. Polar had praticed his abilities a little better while being bored and watching out the window. They see the bus driver standing next to a small but great looking black camaro.

"MY CAR!!!" Max laughed as he ran towards the driver.

"Yup, and just the way you left it, except with a little touch ups." The drive replied chuckling at Max's reaction.

" I owe ya a lot buddy, anytime you need something you just let me know ok..." Max offered.

"What's the car For?" Polar asked, though he wasnt complaining.

"I told ya i could only bring you to state line... your on your own from here." The driver replied with a smile.

"Well thank you again brother, i owe ya one again." Max hugged the driver tightly, "Well i really took to much time trying to get here we need to get going from here."

"Alrighty buddy, be safe, and call if you need anything." The driver answered patting Max on the shoulder.

"Hop In!" Max yelled to polar who was starting to get into the car, all he head before he disapeared into the car.

The last thing anyone hears is That little five speed camaro burning rubber as it took off towards a small town, where something incredible and someone interesting is waiting for them......... they sense it coming as they pass a man on a motorbike heading the same direction they were.

Change of heart....
Thursday, September 14, 2006
It's been a couple days since Polar was stopped at the edge of the cave by the creature cove. He'd said they had to head towards New York. He hasnt give a reason to Polar as to why they were headed that way. And as Polar lays against the wall of the moving train he looks at Max wrapped up in himself in the corner sleeping... Polar believed if he had the chance he's be sleeping upside down but with no beams or hooks he was left with the corner.

What a wierd creature.... Polar thought to himself.... a Hideous but kind person, and yet he doesnt hate the way he looks. On the way to the train station he walked through the crowd as he was a normal looking human being, then even being denied a train tickect 'cause of what we were, he still made an excuse for the idiot ticket master. I Hope he can help me find Juggernaut.

Polar was brought out of his thoughts by the wakend Cove. As he stretched and yawned, showing the sharp fangs that came with his mutation. Right then watching Cove wake up the rest of the way Polar realized that Max looked like one of those vampires from the television, from when he stayed in the hotel.

"Well bud bout ready to get moving?" Max asked opening the train-car door.

As Polar looked out into the night he watched as the trees, rocks, and the occasional animal pass by rapidly, "But we're still moving...."

"So?" replied Max.

"How are we supose to get off ?" Polar asked.

"jump!" answered Max easily.

"yea right, i'm not jumping!" Polar laughed and backed away from the opening.

"Fine then... there's a small button on the outside of the train that stops it, go push it for us while i get the stuff ready." Cove sighed.

As Polar walked over to the door way, he braced himself and leaned out to look for the button.... "Sucker" was the noise he heard as he was pushed tumbling out of the train and went rolling down the small hill it was on.... minutes later he saw Max jump from the train, but instead of falling to the ground and rolling around, he took flight and landed softly next to Polar. He smiled as he tossed Polar his things.

"YOU ......... You tricked me..." Polar screamed.

"Aye that i did, but we had to get out of there, or else we'd miss our next ride." Max explained.

Just as he had finished talking a blue and white bus pulled up. "Some ride" Polar muttered as he boreded the bus. After putting everything away, Cove wonders up to the bus driver and sit's to talk like they've been born brothers. all of a sudden you see the driver hand Cove a big box, Max looks at it wierd. Polar tensed up as Max unwrappened the box and tearing into it with joy.

"Took me a while to find one that would fit your style." The drive laughed.

"it's great!" Cove smiled as he pulled an over sized trench coat from the box.

"That's all it is? a overgrown trench coat?" Polar asked confused.

"Ah my dear watson, not all is as it seems, watch." And Polar did as Max pulled his arms throught the sleaves of the coat, and to Polar's amazement it changed size to to fit him.

"Wow" was all Polar could squeeze out.

"wanna see something better?" Max asked chuckling. All of a sudden he spreads his wings in the cramped bus, and once again Polar was amazed at the sight. The coat had formed to his wings and now had two arm holes and two wing slots.... but Then to top it all of when max rewrapped his wings the holes closed up, becoming a normal overcoat again.

"H-h-how does it do that?" Polar asked amazed.

"Nano-tech. i made it before my mutation, and had forgoten about it until my buddy here went and found it for me. By the way how long till we're in NY?" Cove asked the driver.

"three days to the state line... then you boys are on your own." Replied the driver.

Polar, paying no attention to the conversation had begun to nod offl as he watched the beautiful countryside go by the windows of the van. All he could think about as he slipped into the black space of sleep was that he had a feeling something was waiting for them in New York. Whatever it may be let it come........Then the blackness over took him.


Max/Cove
Monday, September 04, 2006
It's been two days since Juggernaut's abduction, Polar still hurting, and not knowing where or what he was doing, has restarted to search for this Max a.k.a Cove. If this man is as smart as Cain says, maybe he can help me figure out how to help him, polar thought to himself. As polar searched everywhere he was begining to lose hope. Polar's kept an eye out for the three that attacked them two days earlier. At the thought of them Polar's hands flared to ice, and his senses went crazy, Just let me get my hands on them, he kept thinking to himself. The day drew to an end, as the sun slowly faded Polar heard the soft bird call of the forests. Polar began looking for a place to sleep and rest for the night, then he spoted a cave not far away that was perfect size, and wouldnt be a bad defending spot if need came.

It was fully dark by the time Polar reached the cave with a stack of wood in his hand. Polar worked quickly to get the fire started, and once it was began to lean back and rest his eye's... Polar awoke to the sound of a man laughing, not knowing how long he had been asleep. As Polar's eyes cleared and he looked up, his blood went cold... it was staring right up at the man Known as Torch.

"Looky here boy's, the cat's caught the mouse napping..." Torch said as he laughed at the lame joke.

Then just as the fear had quickly came, it was just as quickly gone, it's place filled with anger and vengence instead. Polar quickly reached out and grabbed one of Torch's legs, And let his mutant ability roam free. Torch felt the touch and as he looked down Polar could see the horror in his eyes as all the liquids and tissue in the leg began to freeze. The one known as Forest started to glow, but Polars rage blocked any vision except that of the leg. All of a sudden Polar Was jerked backwards, and pulled tightly against the cave wall. That is when Polar noticed all the vines and moss covering the cave walls and floor.

"ow! ow! OW!!! Your gonna pay for that you dumb icecicle." torch screamed trying to unfreeze his leg by the warmth of a fireball, which at the same time was burning any hair he had on it, off.

To Polar's amazment the leg defrosted and from the notion of Torch not screaming anymore, the pain had gone away. It couldn't be!! This mutant also had a healing factor, The frozen blood should've at least killed the leg, but no! there it was just as normal. As polar looked up he met the glaze from Torch, and followed his sight to the fireball in his hand. Polar tried to break the vines the held him, but they were to thick. Just as Polar thought Torch launched to ball right at Polar... As polar opened his eyes he felt a slight burning on his left ear, Torch was playing with him, and was now laughing.

"hahaha, did you see him flinch!" Torch laughed.

"Enough playing! Master wants him alive." The one called boulder said giving a stern look at Torch.

Torch looked to the one called Forest, but all he got was a nod in acknowledgment to Boulder. "Fine then. lets get him and get out of this place." Torch sighed.

"Yall aint takin that boy anywhere"

"where'd that come from?" Torch yelled spinning round tryin to find the source of the voice.

"Right here hot head!" came the voice from deeper inside the cave, from the shadows. Suddenly bright green eyes appeared in the darkness.

"W-w-w-what are you?" Torch asked backing away.

"I'm the thing that goes bump in the night, and you've got my food all tied up for me. Thank you, now you can be going, before i decide to have dessert." The eye's said in a wierd voice.

"Show yourself shadow." Boulder said stepping forward.

"If you wish, but know that once you see me i'll have to eat you." The eye's replied chuckling.

Suddenly the eye's moved in a circle, and polar heard something hitting the ground just beyond the light. He then realized that the thing had been hanging on the ceicling.The creature walked forward, his talons tapping the floor. Polar became terrified at the sight of him, he walked like a man, but looked like a bat. He had wings that were wrapped around his stomach under his arms, his face looked almost like a bat, his knees were bent and taloned feet.

When the three saw him they started to back away from polar and the creature. the creature smiled... at least what looked like a smile, and kept inching forward towards them. The three was so scared they'd forgot they had powers or else they didnt wanna anger this thing. That's when the creature finished it, he spread his wings that were attached right under his arms, and opened his fanged mouth. The three took off running as fast as they could to get away from that cave.

"hahaha They're running as fast as a bat outta hell." The creature laughed.

"What do you want with me?" Polar asked trying to get out of his bindings.

As the creature turned around he smiled again," dinner", and at the sight of Polar going white the creature laughed.

"Ok you can calm down now, i'm not going to eat you, and never was." The creature said in a normal voice.

Polar looked at the creature when he said the words with confusment. Though with Polar still scared and the risk of him using his powers, the creature walked over and started to cut the bindings with his clawed hand. Then he proceeded to help Polar get over to the fire.

"Who and what are you?" Polar asked sitting down.

"The names Cove, but you can call me max. As for what i am, i am a mutant that got blessed with being a bat/man." Max answered, and looked at the Big eyed Polar.

"So your the geneuis scientist," Polar said a little happier and calmer.

"I use to be, you didnt come looking for me for that did you?" Max replied with a undertone.

"Actually i was, i need your help." Polar almost laughing now.

"Well im not going to so you better go back to your city now and dont tell anyone you found me otherwise i will come and eat you." Max said to Polar quickly sadding face.

"But i dont have a city, or a home. And my only friend i had has been sent away in some black hole, i need your help please." Polar begged.

"No! i gave up science a long time ago kid, it's to much of a danger. and anyways why should i help you?" MAx Snapped.

"Oh ok, i dont wanna put you in any danger. and i have no reason to give you to help me and therefore i wont ask for it anymore. i'm sorry for bothering you, and thank you for saving my life, i owe you my life." Polar said in a very sad tone, "Perhaps you wouldnt mind me asking to stay here for the night until morning then i'll leave."

"No not at all, rest up. I'll wake you in the morning." Max replied as he walked back towards the shadows.

As Polar slept that night, Max stayed up hanging from his ceicling thinking. "What should i do?" He thought to himself. all through the night Max stayed awake pondering this and that, when morning came he dropped down and walked over to Polar and woke him up. Polar yawned as he got up, and remembered the events of the night before.

"I guess i'll be leaving, nice meeting you Max, and thank you for saving my life. If you ever need anything just find me," Polar said starting out of the cave, Max just watched him as he started out the cave........


Round Two...bye bye Juggernaut.
Sunday, September 03, 2006
Just as he was to give up, Polar managed to turn a hand around and touch the set of vines, and using his ability freezes them. At that point they had lost all their strength and Polar was able to break them with ease. As the Vines shattered Polar dropped to his knees gasping for breath. He caught the sent of the air changing and jumping to the side barely avoiding another ball of flame. still out of breath Polar looks over to see If Cain had freed himself from his organic prision, But all Polar could see was a Big round oval shaped cocoon of thick roots. The only thing that ensured Juggernauts life at the moment was that the vines weren't getting any tighter therefore his armor is still holding strong, but Polar knew if he didnt act fast the cocoon was going to run out of air before long.

As Polar dodged another fireball and froze another two sets of vines, he started to move towards Cain's prision. Once again the big rock giant rushed polar, and polar not havin the energy to dodge, reached out and caught the punch, not stopping it, but slowed it enough that it didn't do much damage. Though the Punch didn't cause much damage it did knock Polar closer to Cain, he was almost in arms reach. As The stone man charged once more, Polar managed to get a finger on one of The two roots. As the root shattered and the other was torn apart, Juggernaut emerged from his prision right in front of the Charging man. At the momentum the man was racing he couldn't stop, smiling which was a rare thing for Juggernaut, he reached back and as the man reached him, sent the stone man flying with a uppercut. The ground it shook with the impact of the man, making a crator.

"Looks like the only one who was pulling his own weight is indisposed at the moment huh?" Cain growled with a smirk.

"You'll regret doing that to boulder!! Forest no more playing around, finish them." The tatoo man yelled.

"my pleasure torch." Forest said calmly.

Once again Forest's eye's turned green, and as polar had recovered his breath he kept an eye out for anymore roaming vines, but it wasnt vines that was comming this time. He watched as the forest came alive, the trees started to move towards Juggernaut and Polar. At the same time Torch was sending off fireballs like a wild man. dodging flame and tree alike Polar started to think of how to beat both, which had been no problem for Juggernaut, he was just plowing through the trees and letting the fireballs just bounce off of him. As a group of tree's surrounded him blocking his view Of Cain, Polar was backed against the tree Cain had hit earlier and broke.
With a lightbulb going off in Polar, he picked up the broken tree and began using it as a Bat, smashing through tree after tree. He finally reached the point where he could see Juggernaut finally reaching Torch, Polar watched as Cain picked up the little man and toss him at Forest. The second Torch hit Forest and broke his concentration forest's eys turned back to normal and the trees rooted themselves and went back to normal. Unfortunatly they still blocked Polar from getting to Cain.

as Juggernaut picked up a Tree and threw it at Torch and Forest, who was knocked out, Polar saw a Dark Dark thin circle appear and the tree disappear. As Cain and Polar stared confused another circle appeared, and out walked a shadowed figure, all that was visible was a deep glow of red eyes. All Polar saw next was Juggernaut rush the shadow and another one of those circles appearing and Juggernaut falling into it, disapearing as the circle vanishied. Polar growled with all his strength he started to rip up trees and began to move quickly towards the shadow. The shadow figure just turned his red eye's on Polar and then on to the Three mutants knocked out. Three circles apeared, one beneath Boulder, one beneath Torch and Forest, and one in front of the shadow. Once again the shadow turned his eyes onto Polar which was only two tree's away and tearing feriously, then the shadow stepped into the cirlce and all four disapeared, as the circles did. Polar was left there in the spot where his guide, and friend had disappeared.

"CAIN!! Bring him back!!" Polar screamed into the forest, to the emptyness.................................
