" 'cause i remember fightin' someone like ya with Wolverine. So... did it really happen? " She asked as she tilted her head. She had ta know if it was real or just another implanted memory.

Arkady seemed surprised by the question. He tilted his head. ''I don't believe so. I would have remembered fighting someone like you. Trust me. If we fought, I wouldn't be speaking with you. I most likely would have used my Death Spores on you.''
He now knew that his deadly pheromones did not affect her. He usually didn't talk with his enemies anyway. Fighting was his prefered method of dealing with his opponents. He usually wasn't a dirty fighter since he didn't use his Death Spores very often. His tentacles were his usual weapons. He had no control over his pheromones.

She put her hand on her head is if she was in pain. " Grrr... damn inplanted memories... at least ya don' have implanted damn memories... ya can remember yer past" She said wisperin' ta him. Suddenly her cell started ta ring. She becamed very serious an' an' answered the call. A few seconds later she hung up an' looked at him. " Look... i got ta leave right now... it's important. " She told him as she put the cell away an' went over ta a nearby trash can. An' started diggin' in it. Her combat gear was in the can, she knew by the call.

Omega Red scowled. ''That's not a good thing. I have commited many dark deeds so long ago. Part of me wishes to forget them.'' He watched her depart. So much for their ''date''!
She was of no use to him anyway since he couldn't use his abilities against her. Would they ever cross paths again? Only time would tell. He chose to wander aimlessly through the park. That sadistic grin appeared on his grey face again. A pregnant woman was sitting on a bench and smiling while touching her huge stomach.
Omega Red approached her and watched her look up at him with wide eyes. He supposed he was a little odd looking with his grey flesh and red eyes. His laughter was quiet as a coil exited from his wrist and wrapped itself around her body! His tentacle hid her mouth so that her scream wouldn't attract anyone who happened to be nearby. He proceeded to slowly drain her life force. He didn't know about the three babies within her.

A small car pulled up to the curb of the park. It soon parked and the figure of Mastermind exited her ride with little more than her keys and a hidden gun at her disposal. She traversed quickly through the park until she laid eyes upon her subject. A middle-aged man with a black suit coat was leaning up against a tree, taking a drag on a cigarette. He was too suspicious for him to NOT be her informant.
Martinique was on guard, just in case this was a crooked deal gone wrong by her half-sister. The Brotherhood member walked up to the human and nodded her head. The man removed the cigarette from his mouth, shoved it to the grass, and pressed his foot into it.
"Smoking is such a bad habit, Mr. Montgomery. It's a shame you have a habit that'll only kill you in the long run," Mastermind grinned.
"Yea'. So you must be Ms. Jason, I guess. I was expecting a butch dyke... but hey I guess I shouldn't judge by a voice, eh?" Montgomery replied.
"Ah... but I could be a butch dyke. We won't go into that though. I would like to hear this information you retrieved for me about my dear half-sister, Regan. What exactly is she doing right now?" Mastermind asked, with her eyes narrowing as she mentioned her relative's name.
Montgomery's eyebrows furrowed and he put a sly smile across his tanned face.
"I talk only when the money talks, babe."
"You petty investigators and your desire for the green. It sickens me. You have no idea how kind of me it is to actually be paying you, as I could easily trick you into just releasing the information to me. But I am in a decent mood today, so I suppose you are in luck," Mastermind grimaced.
She removed a wad of cash from her pocket and handed it to Montgomery.
"Na' how am I supposed to know this is real money and not one of your wack illusions, lady?" Montgomery growled and counted the money, waiting for a reply.
"I told you, fool. I am in a good mood. Let us leave it at that. Now, tell me this information so that I may go on with my life and start plotting."
"Ya really are an evil breed, aren't you? I didn't believe it at first. Whatever. Well, I can tell you that..." He stopped and glanced to the right.
In view was a park bench, a pregnant female apparently being raped by a strange looking man, at least in Montgomery's mind. He wasn't the best moral person in the world, but he knew when he had to lend a helping hand.
"What the hell, I can't believe that bastard. I'll stop this. You wait here, I'll be right back," Montgomery pointed at Martinique to stay and moved forward towards the strange looking blond haired one.
Martinique peeled her eyes in order to get a better look of the happening. Obviously, SOMETHING was happening to the woman, but Martinique truly did not think it was rape. The attacker either had the worst skin disease ever or he was a mutant. The lightbulb went on in Mastermind's head and she hurried to grab Montgomery.
He was only a few feet away from the strange man before Mastermind tapped him on the shoulder.
"Mr. Montgomery, leave this business alone. This is not something you should dabble with," she demanded.
Her warning was ignored; Montgomery drew a small handgun and pointed it at the monster. His hands were shaking, as he was fearful for the sight of tentacles.
"Hey, hey you, buddy, back off the pretty lady right now or I'll shoot you!" Montgomery commanded.

Arkady turned his head in order to identify the voice. He was not familiar with the man. His usual serial killer smile appeared on his grey face. ''I must admit. You have a bit of courage to threaten me with a gun, but your bravery is false. However, your trembling hands are honest.''
His smile disappeared. He continued to drain the poor woman's life force. ''You are either slightly brave or very foolish to be pointing a gun at me.'' He watched the woman's eyes close. ''Besides, this young mother has already sacrificed her life so that I could live another day.'' He released her and focused on the man who seemed foolish to him.
Omega Red finally noticed a woman standing a few feet away from him. He had no idea who she was, but perhaps he could absorb her life force later. He turned to the man who seemed stupid enough to point a weapon at him. That sadistic grin reappeared. His invisible Death Spores left his body. ''Let's see if you are fast enough to dodge my deadly virus.''

The strange looking man professed that he was impressed by Montgomery's bravery, but that didn't stop him. This guy meant business. Martinique was slightly disgusted by the way this man killed the pregnant female. She might've been cruel but there was a point to her cruelty. She brushed off the woman's death and concentrated on keeping her foolish informant alive.
The man told Montgomery something about a virus, and Mastermind understood it was time to put up a defense.
"You are coming with ME!" Mastermind yelled at Montgomery.
She grabbed his wrist which startled him. He shot off a bullet that barely missed his own face.
"I'm calling authorities about this!"
"No, no you aren't. Our first priority is to stay alive, you idiot. What were you thinking messing with a mutant? I wouldn't have cared about your well being if you had just told me the information you have. But you had to go and make things difficult for me, didn't you?" Mastermind groaned.
The illusion master managed to calm her nerves while running to infiltrate the mutant attacker's mind.
"Now where are your fears..." Mastermind mumbled to herself.
This man's mind was full of death and evil, even moreso than what she spotted today in Spiral's mind. It was hard wading through his mind to find something that would prove useful in their defense. The pair continued to run through the park while Mastermind poked around in his mind.

Omega Red frowned when the man was pulled away. Now he wouldn't be able to see his slow and painful death. The bullet managed to graze his face. He winced when he felt her wandering through his shattered and diseased mind. He wondered if she ''viewed'' his memories of telling Agent Cassidy to kill him because he did not want to be Russia's mutant assassin. Did she ''see'' that he was a leech who was forced to absorb others' life forces just to stay alive?
Arkady had plenty of dark memories. After all, he once and still happened to be a serial killer. Age and gender did not matter to him. Nobody was spared. How could he forget about being experimented on? He winced at the memory of having the coils implanted in his arms.
''Depart from my mind at once! Someone tampered with it before and I will not allow it to happen again!'' There was so much evil and anguish within him. The Soul Skinner mind raped him just like what the woman was doing to him now. He tricked his mind into thinking there were leeches on him. After all, he was just like the animal.
His darkest memory consisted of killing young girls with his Death Spores. Seeing their terror filled eyes brought him immense pleasure. This was before he was forced to become the Soviet super-soldier. A tiny part of him felt guilt over what he did. He was still a monster who enjoyed hurting and killing others.

The man's mind started raging even faster, to Mastermind, it felt like a thousand waves were being tossed at her to keep her out, and it seemed to be working. He verbally protested about her entering his mind, which only made Martinique want to press further into finding out his inner fears and weaknesses.
His thoughts seemed to linger on the murder of young girls. With her other investigations of his mind, she also discovered cold immensely affected him. This would be something she'd play on. She created the illusion that he was back in Russia inside a small, almost claustrophobic room. Small little girls, the ones he destroyed with his tentacles, appeared from the walls, creeping towards him in a zombie-like fashion.
They slowly welled up around him, until they were surrounding him. Their arms outstretched to touch him, sending extremely cold touches his way. Their tiny, decrepit hands crept up his body, sending more extreme cold at him.
Meanwhile, Martinique used this as her opportunity to get away. In a breathy tone, she explained to her informant.
"The bad thing about being an illusionist alone is that if your foe is as powerful as this one before us, there's not much physical damage I can do to him. But that's why I try not to work alone."
It would just be a matter of time before he discovered that the illusion was false and was able to combat it and come after them once more. However, although it was a HUGE strain on Martinique's brain, she created a secondary illusion that would appear once his first illusion disappeared; the two would be "invisible" to their attacker's eyes.
Martinique stopped against a tree to catch her breath and concentrate, just hoping the illusion would stay up until they could make their getaway.

So much for ordering the woman to depart from his mind! Omega Red was fooled by the illusion. The cold seemed to cut through his body like a knife made of ice. It appeared to him that his victims were finally avenging themselves. He recognized every one of them. He cried out ''no'' in Russian a few times. The illusion finally disappeared.

"I'm going to die... Oh shit, I'm going to die... He's going to come after us," Montgomery whined, pressing his head against the tree behind him.
"You aren't going to die with me here, although you may get hurt. But that's the consequence for fooling around where you do not belong!" Mastermind scolded him with a fierce intent in her eyes.
She wasn't sure what her next plan of attack would be when he figured out both illusions. It was important to keep a calm mind to best avoid danger.
"For our invisible illusion to work, you need to stay quiet, or else we are dead, okay?"Mastermind told Montgomery.
He listened and quickly shut up, trying to contain his worried breathing within his nose. The two waited against the tree, carefully watching the figure of their attacker.

Omega Red's crimson eyes observed his surroundings. There was currently something he wanted more than the C-Synthesizer itself. He wanted to view his female assailant's death. However, she was nowhere to be seen. Snarling, he approached a tree while looking around. The second he saw her, she would become a new victim for him. His coils exited from his wrists. He allowed them to ''feel around'' the tree's location.

(Enter Spiral)
The invisible woman (pun intended!) followed Martinique to the park and stood near the tree. The sight of the angry Russian man did not seem to bother her. Maybe he could be the one to allow her to display her abilities. However, she couldn't see Mastermind and wondered if this was a mere illusion. She heard Arkady screaming at Martinique earlier and was surprised to see that his blood lust was just as strong as hers. The sight of the pregnant woman dying did not seem to bother her. As a matter of fact, it seemed like something she would do herself.
Spiral thought about allowing Omega Red to assault the tree or whatever he was doing yet decided against it. She wished to test her powers on him. She proceeded to spin her body around so that she would become visible again. Her teleportation powers allowed her to appear behind the blonde man and hold his two arms behind his back! Two other hands placed blades at his throat while the remaining swords were above and below his silver belt.
Her cruel smile reached her ears that were hidden by her samurai helmet. She thought she would have some fun with him first. She used one sword to slice off his stupid-looking (to her) headband and the other weapon to remove his grey belt. ''If you even consider blinking, you shall become a woman very quickly!'' Quiet laughter emerged from her blood-red lips as she used her blade tip to poke him there. He was at her mercy now.
Spiral couldn't tell if Arkady looked terrified or angry. She figured he would be horrified since he was still a man. ''Martinique? Are you still here?'' She buried her face in his long blonde hair. The idea of removing his tresses occurred to her yet she decided to let him keep his mane. Was he crying? There was no way of knowing.

When Omega Red approached the tree they were hunkered down near, Martinique started to panic, although only in her mind. She did not move a muscle, or even breathe heavy. Mastermind just watched and hoped her end would not be today. Perhaps she would be meeting her father sooner than she expected.
Just as the threat was growing, her newfound teammate appeared out of nowhere, apparently to their rescue. But Martinique knew such a bloodlusting person better than that, she was likely doing it just to test her own strength and for fun, rather than to help the two.
"Wait a second," Mastermind murmured.
She removed her invisibility illusion shortly after Spiral said something. Martinique got to her feet and stepped a decent amount of way from the two fighters. Montgomery was hot on her tails, scared out of his human mind.
"I am sorry for hiding. My illusions can only go so far before I lose my defensive measures," Martinique sighed, "I appreciate your help, Spiral. I wasn't the one to tempt that horrible mutant before you, it was the man beside me."
Suddenly, Montgomery pulled his gun on both Mastermind AND Spiral. He shakily tried to point it at both. Sweat was pouring down his face as he backed away.
"I'm going to do the human world a favor and kill you both. I now realize the mistake I've made in helping mutants. What an idiot I was," Montgomery growled to the mutants.
"You will never realize what kind of mistake you have just made, Mr. Montgomery," Martinique laughed while speaking.
"No... no, what are you doing... Get away from me."
It was easy for Martinique to invade Montgomery's mind and glean the information about her half-sister from him, as he had it in view. That was all the master of illusions needed from this gun-toting nincompoop. With a quick wave of her right hand, she placed a permanent illusion inside of Montgomery's head; much like she had done with Arcade so long ago.
He would find himself running through this very park, although the park never ended, running away from Omega Red. Martinique could be cruel, but she was sick of the man and had no mercy on him. Montgomery collapsed to his knees and curled up into a ball. Mastermind leaned over, dug in his pocket, and removed the wad of money she had given him earlier and put it back in her purse.
"I was actually going to give the money to you, you poor thing," Mastermind said, as she kicked his body.
She looked at Spiral, then to her attacker, "What are you going to do with him?"

Omega Red didn't dare move while the six-armed woman had her blades all over his body. He scowled on the outside yet his internal anxiety nearly consumed him. If he did anything to anger her, he could just forget about having children! Actually, he couldn't start a family anyway because of his deadly aura. Now that he thought about it, why didn't Spiral become weak? Then again, she wasn't human.
Arkady's urge to murder Mastermind increased when she appeared. If it wasn't for the time-dancer of death, he would have used his coils to end her life. That was exactly what he told her. ''Your life will end as soon as this witch releases me!'' He wondered if he could infect her with his Death Spores yet found that he couldn't since Spiral continued to hold him.
