Excuse me while I catch my breath...

Who's he calling?

A drawing i did for Black History Month. Michael Morrison aka Xenoblade. A genius tinkerer who spends his time at a boarding school for inventors with his little sister and friends. But when danger looms he goes to save the day as Xenoblade, leader of the XenoForce. Armed with a futuristic blade, his digital headband, and his ability to break the 4th wall, he'll take down any evil that threatens Los Angeles. He is named after my uncle.

Mechanic, fix it gal, and inventor. Lin is the adopted little sister of Vivian. She spends most of her time making technology in hopes of one day helping the XenoForce catch bad guys and join the team. As young as she is, Lin is one of the brightest minds of her school. Lin is inspired by, you guessed it; The Xenoblade X character of the same name!

Chapter 8: Heroes United! (Disclaimer!) We were getting prepared for the final battle against Smithy in Shanghai. Steven was putting on new armor designed by Luna. Michael and his team were putting on their armor. “Alright Cross, I got something for you,” I said, “I’ve upgraded your Blue Angel Armor into something new.” He transformed into Blue Angel. “Focus your mind and think of anything that comes inside of it,” I said. His right arm turned into some kind of blade. “Whoa!” he said. “I know right?!” said Luna, “I call it, Stream Edge armor.” “Its gonna be fun having you in battle after a while,” said Steven talking to Star. “Well looks like we have more allies as well,” said Star. Steven got a text from Connie. It read ‘Star told me everything. Just be sure to come home safe, cause we have a surprise for you. Good luck, and Mom says hi. I love you Steven. Love, Connie.’ “We all have to work together on this,” I said, “If even one of his goons survives, it all starts over again.” I turned to Michael. “Sure you’re up for this?” I asked. “I don’t have any plans tomorrow,” he said. “I’ll handle Smity,” I said, “I’m the guy he really wants.” “That’s true, he hates you the most,” said Geno. “Our top priority is evacuating everyone from the battle area,” said Colleen, “And as it turns out, one of B.L.A.D.E’s soldiers, Lao is rounding up any soldiers from Shanghai to assist us in the fight, probably to show gratitude for saving his wife and daughter.” “The more the merrier,” I said. We were in Shanghai evacuating the city. “The city is under attack, so clear the city!” said Denise. She ran out of the building. The people still stood there. Jet ran in and fired a rifle. “Get off your asses,” he said. I was out of costume getting people’s attention. “Ok everyone listen up!” I said. I took out my Japanese sayings book and found what I thought meant get to safety. “Daremoga anata no mottomo surudoi naifu o mitsukete, watashi no bōru o kezutte kudasai, right now!” I said. They all stared at me like something was wrong. Chun-Li face palmed her head. “What did I just say?” I asked. “You just asked everybody to find their sharpest knives, and shave your balls,” she said. “………I said that?” I asked. “Yes,” she said, “I’ll take it from here. She evacuated the city.  Asia assisted Chun-Li with her magic. I looked around for Smithy. “You’ve come to meet your demise?” asked Smithy. “No,” I said, “I’ve come to stop you.” “There’s no need to stop me Nicholas,” said Smithy, “All these innocent people losing loved ones every day to the jaws of war. But I can save them, maybe even cure them.” I saw him and he had new armor. I also saw something behind him. “This is my purpose; to save the humans from their lust for war, and make them strong enough to fight,” said Smithy, “Its what’s best for them whether they understand or not.” Xenoblade appeared on the scene. “I want you to know that I understand your intentions, but you can’t change the world like this,” he said. He chuckled. “I like your grit,” said Smithy, “I can see why the world treats you like heroes.” HE looked at us. “But you need to understand that I’m doing this for you all, to stop anymore innocent lives from being lost,” said Smithy. As the others were evacuating the civilians, Smithy drones started to rise from the ground. “You may think of me as a madman but that’s not the case,” said Smithy, “My true intention was to save as many humans as I could.” “Your methods are pretty understandable,” I said, “But your way of carrying it out and our way are different.” Colleen was fighting off the Smithy drones. Asia made a shield to keep the drones from attacking the people. “Run!” she said. “This is where conflict ends, and peace in our time begins,” said Smithy. “Smithy,” said a voice. It was Geno. “My vessel,” said Smithy. “Only without your vision of saving the world,” said Geno. “They really did take you from me,” said Smithy. “You set the terms, and you can also change them,” Geno explained. “Alright then,” said Smithy. He pushed Geno to a wall, but Geno grabbed him then shut him out from all of his drones. “Smithy has been cut off,” I said, “And he’s being cut from the net!” “You think that matters?” he asked, “I’ll still finish you off by myself if I have to!” We were fighting off Smithy. Jet saw Smithy drones attacking civilians. “Time to do what I do best,” he said. He charged up electricity then ran around the road taking them down one by one. “Fuck he’s fast,” said EJ. “Whether I have what I need or not, I will destroy all of you,” said Smithy. “Not if I can help it,” said Xenoblade, “Monado, EHCNANT!” He made us stronger and able to withstand Smithy’s attacks. Smithy tried attacking us with his hammer but I managed to block it. Chun-Li and Elma were back to back fighting Smithy’s drones. “You up for this?” asked Elma. “You know it,” said Chun-Li. She did a spinning bird kick knocking a few drones to the side. Denise was fighting a Smithy drone that looked like an Axem Ranger. It knocked her into a bush. “Time to finish you off,” said the drone. Steven jumped in the way and shielded her with a bubble. “Steven keep that up!” said Denise, “I’ve got an idea.” Denise pushed the bubble and started running. Meanwhile Bryan and EJ were fighting off more drones. A Yardiovich drone was facing off against Bryan. He decided to go for a concrete armor. “Concrete?” asked EJ, “I didn’t know you liked to play dirty.” “As Churchill said, there comes a time where all men must….” He said before he picked up Yardiovich by the legs. He then spun him around and threw him at a wall. “Oh you get the point!” he said. EJ was fighting a smithy drone and cut off its arm. It regenerated. He tried cutting him down to pieces but to no avail. “Alright,” he said. He kicked the drone in the groin. “Grow those back,” said EJ. Bryan threw Yardiovich in the air and finished him off with a megaton smash. As he was falling Cross caught him. “Ride’s not over yet,” he said. “My man!” said Bryan. Asia was using all her courage to fight off the Smithy drones with Bowser giving a hand. Crowds of people were cheering her on. Cross took on a Smithy drone. “How do you like me now?” it asked. It formed into a clone of him. “Ok,” he said. They clashed at each other with photon sabers. “Your copying me is a knockoff,” said Cross. “Your head is a knockoff,” said the drone. Cross knew that Elma was behind it. “Can I say one thing?” asked Cross, “Think fast!” Elma did the side slash while Cross did the assault hammer. He then picked it up. “You’ll never….” It said before he threw it at a wall shattering it. “I’ll never what?” he asked, “You didn’t finish!” Cross saw Lao fighting off the soldiers. “You’re the guy who saved my family,” he said, “Figured I’d return the favor.” “Thanks,” said Cross helping him fight off the drones. “I’m Lao by the way,” said Lao, “Lao Huang.” “Nice to meet you Lao,” said Cross. “Nice to meet you too Cross,” said Lao. He grabbed his javelin and slammed it down causing an earth shake around the area and demolishing a lot of the drones. “Damn,” said Cross. Smithy saw Star fighting off the Smithy drones and grabbed her. “You’re a nuisance and a distraction,” he said. He dragged her to where me and Xenoblade were. I grabbed one of the weapons used by his drones and used it against them. Jet brought Asia over to where Lao was to give him a hand. “Hold your fire men!” he said. Asia charged up neon and shot a beam at the drones. One of the soldiers accidently shot Jet in the arm. “Sorry,” he said. Jet shook it off and healed fast. Star was dealing with Smithy. “You think you’re saving people?” asked Smithy, “All you’re doing is making them face their demise!” He knocked Star in the face. “If you want a perfect world, you should think like I do, and take risks you fear,” said Smithy. “I am Star Butterfly, princess of Mewni, and as long as I have life in my breast….. I’m starting to run out of things to say,” said Star looking at Geno, “Ready?!” Smithy looked but he was too late. “It was at this moment that Smithy knew…… he fucked up,” said Xenoblade breaking the 4th wall. Geno whacked Smithy using the wand as a club. “This thing is terribly well balanced. I was flying around fighting off the air based drones. Pit was giving me a hand with Rock. “Now this is a Megaman story,” said Rock. “Yeah if you live to tell it,” I said. Cross saw Elma struggling with Smithy Drones. “Elma!” he said. He flew over to help him but was shot down by a Smithy drone. He quickly got back into balance and flew after it. One of them was flying a plane and had a target on Elma. It fired a missile at her. “No!” said Cross, “Not this time!” he said. He flew right in front of her and the missile fired. Elma had her eyes closed then opened them again. Cross formed a shield protecting them both using the stream edge armor. “Always there in the nick of time,” said Elma. We were all doing our part in taking on the Smithy drones. Chun-Li was driving a truck piling all of them down. Pit had out his bow and arrow and was pepared to shoot. Geno went in the way and demolished them all without breaking a sweat. “What…. The fuck?” asked Pit. We were all meeting at the same place where Smithy way. “You really think those tin cans tan take us all down?” I asked, “They barely stood a chance.” “Yes, and now you face the final boss,” said Smithy. “Is that the best you can do!?” asked Star. A giant machine appeared before us. It had a bigger hammer and was menacing. “You had to ask,” I said. “This is the best I can do, my strongest weapon against all of you,” said Smithy, “How do you intend to stop that.” “Like Megaman X said,” Xenoblade said, “Together.” He summoned more drones while Cross and I handled Smithy. The head turned into a tank and started firing missiles at us. I cut them to shreds. Micah froze most of the drones in their tracks while Bryan and Bowser smashed them to pieces. We were all working together. “You’re bothering me Nicholas Shay,” said Smithy. He knocked me out. I woke up and I saw one of the Axem ranger drones that had an ax. “Wait a second,” I said, “Jet, Geno come here!” They both came to where I was. “I have an idea,” I said, “But I’ll need your power Jet.” The gem on my helmet copied his ability to conduct lightning while Geno put his own touch on the ax. Asia was helping Chun-Li fight them off. “Shanghai is our home!” she said, “Anyone who messes with it deals with us!” Thunder was brewing. It was Geno using the new ax. “Holy shit!” said Xenoblade. “Rock, did you and Pit clear out the people?” I asked. “The whole city,” said Rock, “We checked every spot and nobody was there!” “Good, cause I have an idea that’s gonna end with a bang,” I said, “If you know what I mean.” Geno kept fighting them on and the ax was starting to glow. “The ax is starting to glow,” said Geno. “That means its time!” I said, “Just like I told you!” Geno flew high into the sky and aimed for Smithy. “Geno WHIRL!” he said. He threw his ax and it spun around aiming straight for Smithy. When the ax hit, a tremendous explosion appeared. It leveled the city demolishing all of the Smithy Drones. Cross saw debris about to hit Elma as she tripped. “ELMA!” he said. He quickly flew to her before the debris hit. When the dust settled, Elma opened her eyes and saw she was being held bridal style by Cross. “Are you ok?” he asked. Elma smiled at him and answered, “I am now.” She then hugged him. I went to check on the others. “Is everyone alright?” I asked, “I don’t wanna haul my ass home solo.” “We’re all good,” said EJ. Colleen helped Jet up. “Can you stand, soldier?” she asked. “I just need a minute,” he said. “Fate dealt us these cards, so we have to play them,” said Cross. Smithy was crawling from the debris. He was half beaten up and missing half his face. “You know…. With a benefit of hindsight….” He said. Bowser punched him so hard he landed on the other side of the city. “He had a mouth,” he said. A jet was going up and Smithy was on it. “There’s information about Smithy and his weapons on there,” Anela said, “If he gets to that lab the whole thing starts over again!” “We can’t even let him get close,” I said, “Cross, Geno, you’re on me. Let’s….” Before I could finish Bowser jumped up on the buildings. He kept jumping until he got into the jet. “Oh for God’s sake!” Smithy said. Bowser threw him out. When Smithy awoke he saw Geno. Bowser saw us on screen. “Ok Billy you did good,” said Steven, “Now I need you to turn this plane around.” Bowser didn’t listen. “Billy, can you hear me?” asked Star, “We’re depen…….” The signal was lost. Geno approached Smithy. “You’re the last of your kind,” he said. “You were supposed to be the last,” said Smithy, “Nicholas wanted someone who would bring peace, but settled for what he had.” “I suppose we all have our flaws,” said Geno, “Your intentions were good nonetheless, however they were carried out wrong.” “How would you know?” asked Smithy. “We were all born in different ways, and yet we cannot be ashamed for who we are,” said Geno, “Our skills, gifts, and abilities can be a gift, or a curse depending on the choices we make.” He looked up to the sky. “In order to achieve our goals, we must also realize that they will not always go as we planned, and yet we cannot give up,” said Geno, “Because we are only human.” “You are so naïve,” said Smithy. “Well…… I was just born a day ago,” said Geno. Smithy went after Geno and Geno finished him off. “Rest now Smithy,” he said. It was finally over. The civilians cheered for our heroic actions. Elma turned to Cross. “Sooooo wasn’t there something you wanted to say?” she asked. Cross looked around and saw us. “Now’s a better time as any,” said Cross. He turned back to Elma. “So you know when you said you have some things you wanted to tell me later?” asked Cross. “I do,” said Elma. “Well, I also had something I wanted to say, and I’ve been meaning to tell you since the party, and maybe even before it,” said Cross looking down to the floor, “However given everything that was going on I didn’t think it was the right time.” He looked back to her. “And now, I kinda feel like an idiot for not telling you sooner, but now that its over, I can finally say it without any regret or fear,” said Cross as he looked into Elma’s blue eyes, “Elma…… I love you.” Elma blushed. Cross started to turn away. “I actually said it,” he said to himself, “I understand if you don’t…..” Elma made Cross face him. “Cross, there’s always been something about you that I’ve never seen in anybody else that I’ve worked with,” said Elma, “When I’m around you, I feel like everything is gonna be ok, no matter the situation, and I’ve tried to find out the reason for all of it.” She looked at Cross’ hand on top of hers. “And now its all clear to me as to why that is,” said Elma as she smiled at Cross, “…..I love you too Cross.” Cross was surprised. “Well since we love each other,” said Cross, “Maybe I could…. Maybe we….” “Cross?” asked Elma. “Elma?” asked Cross. Elma smiled and said, “Stop talking.” The two of them closed the distance between each other. Their lips met and they kissed. After a few minutes their foreheads were touching as they smiled at each other. “Well its about time,” I said with a grin. Most of the Peacekeepers had returned to their homes to take a vacation. Steven went home and got greeted with a kiss from Connie. Jet and Asia were taken in by Dr. Light. Elma was given a medal for her hard work. Chun-Li went back to Interpol work. Michael, Star, Colleen and I were walking around a building. “As of now the rules have changed,” said Colleen, “It looks like we’re about to be dealing with something new.” “Like Geno’s AI,” I said. “He’s a machine made to look like wood,” said Michael. “So he doesn’t count?” asked Colleen. “He’s a person,” I said, “A person that can somehow lift Star’s wand, and an all around nice guy.” “Exactly,” said Michael, “But what about the Mind Jade.” “As far as I’m concerned, if he can weild my wand, he can keep the gem,” said Star, “I feel as if it’ll be safe with him.” “Good thinking,” I said, “But if you put it in the elevator would it still go up.” “I doubt it,” said Michael. “I will miss the conversations we had,” said Star, “But for now, I gotta return what’s left of my cousin’s scepter, then meet up with my husband.” “You don’t have to leave you know,” I said. “But I don’t have a choice,” said Star, “There are other Cosmic Gems out there with great power, and like all great power, there may be someone who wants to use it for evil.” We were outside. “Someone’s been using us as pawns, but once the stones are set, the answers will be clear,” said Star. “You think you can find the answers?” asked Colleen. “I don’t think I can, I know I can,” said Star, “Until we meet again Nicholas.” She teleported back to Mewni. “I’m sure gonna miss her,” said Michael. He saw his teammates in the van. “A lot of manful tears at the end of the story,” he said breaking the 4th wall, “But I’ll be back in Xenoforce IV.” “I will miss you Michael,” I said, “I had a hell of a time working with you.” “I do feel kinda bad for Asami though,” said Michael, “She doesn’t have anything ready for the conference.” “Actually about that….. Mako proposed to her on stage,” I said. “Get outta town!” said Michael. “I’m serious,” I said, “He came up with it on the spot.” “Lucky dog,” said Michael. “Alright,” I said, “Bring it in.” We gave each other a hug. “Hopefully we’ll have another ultimate crossover like this one,” said Michael. He got in the car and they drove off. Colleen was staring at a wall. I came in. “It’s a great wall,” I said, “You look at yourself in the mirror, and you see two different sides of you; Who you were before and who you are now.” “I know,” said Colleen, “Back then we were just kids with dreams, and now…. We’re Earth’s line of defense.” “Our parents would be proud of how far we came,” I said, “I know I am.” Colleen gave me a hug. “Thanks for always being there for me man,” said Colleen. “Through thick and thin,” I said, “Nothing can separate the dynamic duo.” “So are you two gonna talk all day, or are we gonna start training the new team?” asked Cross. “So how do we look?” asked Colleen. “Well we’re not the Justice League,” I said. “We got some good members though,” said Colleen. “They’re good,” I said, “But they’re not a team yet.” “So let’s beat them into shape,” said Cross. We opened the doors of the Training Room. There we met the new members of the Peacekeepers. Cross, Colleen and I were the veterans. One of the newcomers was my younger sister Daisy Shay a.k.a Stretch Girl. The 2nd new member was Lola Montez known in LA as Arachnid Girl. All her abilities come from her technology and her athletic ability. Pit was our 3rd new member armed with a new bow and arrow. The last member was none other than Geno. They all looked at us. “Peacekeepers,” I said, “Mo…….. THE END…….. Back in Mewni, Comet had Dyntos the forger of weapons recreating his scepter. “Here you go sonny,” he said, “This is the best I could make.” “And it’s the best I’ll take,” said Comet. He grabbed the scepter and placed the space sapphire in one of the holes. “There’s no time to lose,” he said. Heroes by Gang of Youths I, I wish I could swim Just like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim But nothing, nothing will keep us together Yeah, we can beat them, forever and ever 'Cause we can be heroes, just for one day I, I will be king And you, you will be queen And nothing can drive us away We can be heroes, just for one day And we can be us, oh, just for one day And I, I can remember Standing, by the wall And the guns, the guns shot above our heads And we kissed, as though nothing could fall And the shame, was on the other side Oh, we can beat them, oh, forever and ever Then we could be heroes, oh, just for one day We, we can be heroes We, we can be heroes And we, we can be heroes, just for one day We can be heroes Meanwhile in the city of Amity Park, a young kid was watching his parents. They were creating a machine that would open a portal to the ghost world. “Alright Maggie, this is it,” said the dad, “After all these months of preparation, its finally about to happen!” “I’m prepared, Jack,” said Maggie. Maggie pulled the switch and nothing worked. “I don’t get it,” said Jack, “All that hard work and it….. it doesn’t work….” They both went upstairs. The young kid went inside to see what had happened. One of the plugs was undone. The young kid smiled to himself. “Time to prove my worth,” he said. THE FAN FICTION EXTENDED UNIVERSE WILL CONTINUE IN PHASE 3
