Help me Write something! 2

I was adding more detail to my previous suggestion in case you were interested.

Personally, I think my suggestion is a pretty interesting idea. Though I'm not sure how it'll fit into the story yet.

My plan right now is to have Sijo visit the Mushroom Kingdom looking for some relaxation only to find Daisy acting weird. Just to add some (more) humor to the story.

@Philosopher: Is the Overlord you mentioned the one from the video game of the same name, or was that an accidental link (has happened to me in the past) and you meant someone else?

It is the one from the video game.

Ah, Ok. Had to clear that up, you wouldn't *believe* how many characters with that name there have been.

Chapter 2 is almost ready for posting, it just needs a little more polish. Should be up later tonight.

CHAPTER 2

"Well, I'll be damned- it is the One Ring!" Sijo said, after picking it up.

"Yeah, you will be damned, if you put that thing on" Deadpool mocked.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. Unlike someone I know" Sijo retorted.

"Hey man, I'm not THAT brain-damaged!"

"That's debatable. Now hold on to me, like I told you, so I can take you home."

"Lead the way, fanboy!" the mercenary said, laying a gloved hand on Sijo's shoulder, as the two walked into the strange mist.

Soon, strange sensations washed over their bodies. "Ohh, creepy. What's going on?" Deadpool asked.

"We crossed the interdimensional veil, which has been weakened by The Mist" Sijo explained. "Normally, I'm unable to carry anyone along with me. Lucky for you, this fogbank is basically one continuous interdimensional portal, allowing things to slip from one universe to another randomly."

"Where is this stuff coming from, anyway?"

"I don't know. All I know is that it first showed up somewhere in a small New England town a few years ago. I'm trying to find its source and stop it."

As the two men conversed, they were unaware that inhuman eyes were following their movements through the mist...

"Uh, dude?" Deadpool suddenly said. "I hate to spoil the mood, but something is watching us."

"Eh? How do you know?"

"I read it above, of course."

Sijo almost facepalmed. Deadpool and his stupid Fourth Wall Breaking comments. He should know better than to pay attention to the ramblings of someone who believes he's just a comic book character.

"Says the fanboy who keeps self-inserting himself in his stories" Deadpool suddenly replied. "And what's with all the blue links? Are you too lazy to use any exposition?"

Sijo was about to tell Deadpool to go do something unpleasant to himself when he noticed a dark-robed figure approaching them through the fog. "Oh, dammit. I was afraid of this. A Nazgul!"

"Hey, I remember those from the movies!" Deadpool shouted happily. "Don't worry whatsyourname, I'll deal with him!" Letting go of Sijo, the mercenary drew out one of his submachine guns and emptied it on the Ringwraith.

"EAT LEAD SONUVABITCH!!!" BRATATATATATATATAT!!!

The Ringwraith seemed to twist in pain, but then simply righted himself up.

"Deadpool, you moron, its an undead, bullets aren't going to kill it!"

"Well, you should have explained that, Mr. Sucky Writer! Bah, I'll handle it my way! He then pulled out one of the two swords on his back, and engaged the wraith in a duel, their weapons ringing in the Void Between the Worlds.

Sijo wondered what, if anything, he could do to help Deadpool. While he had acquired many powers over the years, most of them didn't work in universes such as this.

Before he could decide, however, something else came out of the fog, a birdlike reptilian creature screeching like mad at him.

"What the-" was all Sijo got to say before the thing grabbed him in its claws, carrying him along. He then recognized it as one of the monsters the Mist had brought to Earth before, some kind of Pteranodon.

"URGH" he gasped, as he struggled to break free. Luckily, its flight brought them right next to where Deadpool was fighting the ringwraith. This gave Sijo the chance to reach and grab the mutant's other katana. He then impaled the giant bird with all his strength.

"SKREEEE!!!!" it screamed, before letting go of Sijo. The two of them tumbled in different directions. Sijo quickly picked himself up; the creature did not reappear. Hopefully it was dead, or had fled.

Sijo then turned to find Deadpool standing before him. "Hey, not bad. Maybe you're not such a geek after all" Deadpool said calmly.

"And the Ringwraith?"

"Let's just say it won't be haunting any Hobbits anytime soon" Deadpool boasted.

"Yeah, whatever. Let's get out of here before- oh no!" Sijo suddenly gasped.

"What now? A giant squid?"

"No! The One Ring- I lost it!"

"What! Duuude! Fail!"

"Hey, I was fighting for my life, OK?"

"Whatever. Can I have my katana back now?"

"Here" Sijo said, returning the weapon. "Now hold onto me again, the mist is dissipating and once its gone, I won't be able to take you anywhere, so unless you want to stay here forever-"

"Say no more. Let's go!"

(Meanwhile in another universe)

Well, that went well enough, the figure in dark armor thought as it sat in his throne.

It would have been nicer if those two annoying heroes had been killed, but at least he got what he wanted: The One Ring! Eat your heart out, Saruman! I'll show you what being an Overlord is all about! he thought, laughing, as he held the One Ring on his gloved hand.

I am enjoying a lot this fic. I love the way you write deadpool .

What about deadpool and ambush bug meeting each other as an idea?

Write an AU LOTR/Hobbit movieverse/Oliver Twist crossover. Frodo as Oliver and Otho and Lobelia as Mr. and Mrs. Sowerberry. Thorin as Fagin, with Tauriel as Nancy and Gandalf as Mr. Brownlow.

Thank you. And yeah, I should have Pool and The Bug meet. I've been itching to write that for a while.

Not that I'm opposed to the idea, but remember, you must *sell* me on it. Why should it be included?

Working on Chapter 3, should be up soon.

Your writing is fantastic.

Gnarl from the same series would probably advise the Overlord to destroy the ring instead of risk being possessed like the wizard. In attempting to teleport to Middle Earth the mist interferes with the spell and they wind up in the kingdom. At Gnarl's advice the Overlord pursues You and Deadpool to find out what you know, but by the time the Overlord get to your area you're already gone.

Daisy could join up as a supporting protagonist. She and Peach have done various things from tennis to soccer except be heroes so the girl would get one up on her counterpart.

Those are some great ideas too.

But note that Peach *has* been a hero in various game already (especially in her own). Dunno about Daisy, but yeah, why not?

I didn't know that.

Learn something new everyday.

CHAPTER 3

"Are we there yet?" Deadpool asked Sijo.

"No yet" the latter replied.

Ten seconds later, Deadpool again asked "Are we there yet?"

"No!"

Ten seconds later-

"Are we there-"

"NO!" Sijo snapped back. "Do you have any idea how forkin' big the Omniverse is?? Now shut up or I swear I will leave you stuck in this limbo forever!!"

That finally shut up the Merc With A Mouth, a least for the moment. Finally, the mist began to thin, and a modern city began to appear around them.

"Here we are. New York, right?" Sijo asked. "If that's not where you wanted to be, go catch a taxi."

"Umm, dude, I do not think we are in the right universe" Deadpool suddenly said, as he pointed behind Sijo.

The other man turned around, and his mouth fell open when he saw what was there:

A huge billboard that read, "Welcome to Metropolis, Home of Superman."

"Whoa. Not even in the same comics company" Deadpool laughed.

"Ohh, shut up!" Sijo snapped. "We have to go back before- aww no!"

"What now?"

"The portal! Its gone!!"

"What portal?"

"You see" Sijo sighed as he explained, "The way my powers work, is that I see these portals that randomly open and close. I don't control them, I merely can see and use them. And I cannot even bring other people with me, normally; only that strange Mist is allowing it this time. But now, we'll have to wait until another portal opens before I can take you to your proper home- which is not far from this one, actually."

"How long is that going to take?"

"A couple of hours... hopefully."

"Ah. Oh well, I always wanted to see how they lived here, anyway. I think I'll go hit on Lana Lang or something" Deadpool started to say.

"Ohhh no you don't!" Sijo suddenly said, yanking Deadpool back by the collar like a bratty child. "The last thing the people of this world need is a half-crazy mercenary on the loose. You're sticking with *me* until I can take you to your own Earth!"

Deadpool reacted by pulling out a submachine gun and pointing it straight at Sijo's face. "Just who do you think you're manhandling, Mr. Nobody? Let me go right now, or I'll pump you full of lead, even if it leaves me stuck here forever!"

To the mutant's surprise, Sijo's answer was a wide grin. "Sorry to disappoint you, 'pool, but you see, I have acquired a LOT of powers over my years as an interdimensional explorer. They tend to not work outside of their respective universes... but guess what, most of them DO work on this one. Not only I can eat your lead, I can spit it right back on your face. Which won't kill you, what with your healing factor, but I bet it'll hurt."

Sijo couldn't see Deadpool's face under his mask, but his expression was probably priceless. (Then again, since he was horribly disfigured, maybe it was for the better.)

"So. You either stay by my side -quietly- or spend the rest of the day with a lamppost wrapped around you. Your choice."

"Rassem frassem alright!" Deadpool grumbled. "Can we at least eat? I'm starving!"

"...Fine. But you pay for your own food."

The two of them then started walking around Metropolis. Some people looked at Deadpool funny, but most paid him no heed.

They found a hot dog cart, and stopped to buy some.

Sijo didn't really want to engage Deadpool in conversation, but the latter did anyway:

"So *munch* have you been here before *munch*?"

"...Uh. Yeah. Why do you ask?"

"Its the way you are looking around. Like this place means- something to you."

(a beat)

"...It does. Or it did."

He wasn't planning on elaborating, but Deadpool was waiting for more, and really, why not?

"I... used to come to this universe. A lot. Even befriended Superman. Yes, seriously. But then... something happened."

"That thing with the Anti-Monitor, right?"

"Huh? How do you know?"

"Dude, everyone in comics knows how Crisis on Infinite Earths was the first big Cosmic Retcon in comics history. Thank goodness Marvel doesn't do those!"

Sijo decided to ignore Deadpool's usual comic book rantings. "Anyway, though the universe was saved, everything changed. And since I wasn't nearby at the time... I wasn't included. Nobody here remembers me."

-*POP* "Everyone but ME, that is!!" a man in a full-body green costume (with orange antennas) who literally popped out of nowhere, suddenly said!

"Wha- Ambush Bug!" Sijo gasped.

"Sijo! Sijolino! Palomino! Long time no seen-o!" the strange character said, hugging Sijo excitedly.

Deadpool smirked. "You know this guy?"

"Umm, sort of" Sijo said, pushing the Bug away politely.

"Hey, wait a minute!" The Bug suddenly snapped. "What's HE doing here?" he said angrily, while pointing at Deadpool.

"Fanboy here took a wrong turn at Albuquerque and led us here rather than at Marvel-Earth" Deadpool laughed.

"You two know each other...?" Sijo asked.

"Everybody knows this two-bit Deathstroke imitator has been ripping off my Forth Wall Breaking gimmick for years!" Bug said.

"Oh, you're just jealous that MY comics have been huge sellers and yours haven't!"

Sijo facepalmed. *Great, now I have to deal with not one, but TWO lunatics who think they are comic book characters.*

"I demand you take this looney to his proper universe before I call the Continuity Cops on you!"

"Don't I wish" Sijo responded. "He then explained to Ambush Bug how and why they were there.

"Huh. I thought you were here for the funeral."

"No, I- wait. Whose funeral?"

"Umm, you didn't know? Sorry. Its- Jimmy Olsen" the Bug said, finally taking a serious tone. "He died saving Superman from Metallo."

Sijo was stunned. Jimmy! No, not... Jimmy. He had been friends with Jimmy for so long... or they were, before history got rewritten. Even so, his death still really hit him hard.

yay! Ambush bug and Deadpool keep it up. I am enjoying this alot!

CHAPTER IV

__________

"How... how did Jimmy die?" Sijo asked Ambush Bug.

"Well..." Bug started to explain, somberly. "It started normally enough. A robot attacked Metropolis, Superman shows up to stop it, the usual. But then- it turned out to be Metallo, in disguise!"

"Isn't Metallo a robot anyway?" Deadpool asked.

"Hah! Shows what you know. He's a cyborg! Only his head is human!"

"Bah, same difference."

"Quiet, you!" Sijo snapped at the mercenary. Then he spoke to the Bug again: "Superman has beaten Metallo before. What happened this time?"

"I dunno. He was- enhanced, apparently. His Kryptonite rays were so strong, Big Blue was down and dying almost instantly. That's when Jimmy attacked him, despite him not having any of those crazy powers he sometimes gains at the moment- and Metallo just- skewered him."

Sijo gasped.

"But at least his sacrifice wasn't in vain" Bug continued. "Just as that piece of junk was about to finish Superman, Wonder Woman arrived!"

"Wait, what was she doing in Metropolis?" Deadpool asked.

"Actually, Superman managed to sent an SOS with his Justice League signal device before he fell down. Princess Diana was on monitor duty at the League Headquarters and teleported in- too late to save Jimmy, but just in time to save Supes."

"And where were you during all of this?" Deadpool asked, mockingly.

"Umm, err, well-"

"IGNORE him!" Sijo snapped. "What happened then?"

"Ohh, she was mad! I've never seen her so angry! She literally tore him apart, you should have seen her!" Bug said with glee. "But just as it looked like she was going to finish him off, a bright light enveloped him, and he disappeared."

"Teleported away?" Sijo asked.

"Most likely."

"He can't do that, that I remember. Which means someone is helping him."

"Yeah. Supes thinks its... Darkseid."

"Yeah, that's what I fear too" the extradimensional explorer mused.

"Aww, what's the big deal?" Deadpool said, yawning. "He's just a comic book character, you know. He'll come back to life, we always d-"

KA-POW! Sijo suddenly elbowed Deadpool with such superhuman force, the latter was left gasping for breath.

-*haaack* (doubles over)

Turning back to Bug, Sijo asked: "What are they going to do?"

"Well... Diana wants to go to Apokolips and investigate, but Superman is opposed to that. Its too dangerous, even for the Justice League, he says, and as much as he wants justice for Jimmy, he won't take risks without proof of their involvement. But that pissed off Diana; she said she would still go, even if she had to gather her own team to do it."

Sijo turned grim. While he sympathized with her, he definitely agreed more with Superman.

"So... are you coming to the funeral? It's already started."

"I..." Sijo began to say. Jimmy had been a good friend; they'd had some fun times together, especially when he got in trouble and was transformed into something bizarre. Jimmy had even lent him his Elastic Lad serum on occasion!

...Except that never happened. Not now, anyway; it had been erased from history when this universe was remade. Now they are but casual acquaintances.

Were casual acquaintances...

But maybe he should go, and silently pay his respects, in honor of all that they had shared, once?

But before he could make his decision, he noticed a hole floating in the air near them- a window into a mist-filled void.

"Looks like the choice was made for me" he said matter-of-factly. Then, picking up the still-deflated Deadpool like a sack of potatoes, he flung him over his shoulder, then he said:

"Thanks, Bug. For the information. I'll be back. Count on it."

"See ya, Fanboy!" the strange man answered, and he waved goodbye to Sijo as the latter stepped through the portal, and disappeared.

(Several hours later)

Metropolis Cemetery, a tombstone that read:

"Here lays James Olsen the IV. Beloved son and friend."

Suddenly, the ground began to shake, then explode with a surge of light.

Then, literally rising from his own grave, Jimmy Olsen appeared, virtually glowing with power!!
