Where: Cursed Forest, Temple of Earth?
When: March 24

From two separate directions, bands of Heroes traverse the wastelands in search for the others. One crossed an entire desert carrying the remains of an airship engine, wishing for water. The other climbed down the Death Mountains fearing for their lives. At last, they have more people to talk to.

"Whaaaaaaat. What do you mean, orders to not let us in? Orders from who?"

'Because you suck' is not a good enough reason for Sparks, whose wondering what his next move should be. Deadpool was never very predictable; maybe this was just him being his weird self.

Before Deadpool could answer, another golem figure approached, adjusting the shield on his arm.

"We're under orders by Kalki herself to not allow people like you any further here. And these orders are enforced by Deadpool, the Archfiend of Earth." He said.

"Thanks, Cap, but yeaaaah, sorry, but you're in the wrong neighborhood, mama jama." Deadpool said. "Now, I know what you're thinking: 'Deadpool, how could you do such a thing?!' And the answer is simple: because I'm sick and tired of you! I mean, I know you guys are going to save the day, but, oh my god, this entire adventure has been nothing but 'don't kill this, don't kill that!' Boo-freaking-hoo! Half of the grief we had to deal with wouldn't of happened if you guys didn't worry about how Jack and Ramza and that guy who couldn't be in Smash would look at you! Look at Ramza! He's now riding shotgun in his own body! And MY GOD, that nap I was put into! It was so boring, I woke up five minutes later!"

"But! This just means I'm more powerful than you bleeding hearts!"

"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!" Aang said suddenly. "You're doing this because people expected you to be... I don't know, not a bad person!? Not even because you agree with Kalki and want to save people? You don't even think you'll win?"

"That's just... people have died over the last five years, Deadpool, while we were trapped." And that had been something Aang had never wanted again. If Deadpool had been able to wake up, why had none of the others did? (Or possibly there were three others working for Kalki, if this world had the same elements as his own.) "Not even people like Garland and Palitutu who were doing awful things; ordinary people who were just living their lives. Maybe even good people who were trying to save others. Well, good job, then. You've killed people. Way to go."

Santa raised an eyebrow. Deadpool's logic had never been what the rest of them would call sound, he guessed. He let Aang say his piece.

"But, um, thanks for the warning? If you wanted to get rid of us, you could've not announced your betrayal and caught us off guard." Santa pointed this out in a deadpan, but he was wondering if there was more to it than that. Maybe Deadpool wanted to scare them off rather than kill them, in spite of his gleeful love of violence?

"Yer workin' for Kalki? Are you kiddin' me?"

Those are fightin' words, and the only ones Sparks needed. He drew his gunsword, but held it to the side for now.

"We just dragged our butts through hell and yer gonna tell me you're gonna get in our way cuz Kalki told ya to? Is she really a better option than us?"
