Ghost-X, a young Ghostbusters and x-men crossover

Chapter 14

Meanwhile, at Iorigaste, Adder Hellrich seems aware of the next node the young ghostbusters will shut down, which also jeopardizes his alliance with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants as well as their bond.

"Sir, the young ghostbusters are heading to the sentinel factory." Dade Lurkman informed.

"I'm aware that Magneto confronted the Sentinels before, and those Sentinels are operated by the villainous Master Mold." Adder responded in determination.

"Master Mold, the ultimate Sentinel," Adder continued, his eyes gleaming with interest. "If the young Ghostbusters succeed in destroying the eighth node, it would disrupt my plans and undermine my alliance with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants."

"Shall I alert the Brotherhood, sir?" Dade asked, his voice cautious.

"Not yet, Dade," Adder replied, his mind working strategically. "Let the young Ghostbusters and X-Men think they have the upper hand. But, we will be prepared to strike when the time is right. The Sentinels, Master Mold, and the eighth node will be the key to our victory."

Adder's eyes gleamed with determination as he began to formulate his next move, ready to take advantage of the situation and crush his enemies once and for all. In addition, his chances of bringing forth Omega seemed to have tampered with both the young ghostbusters and the X-Men confronted the Ringleader.

Quicksilver returned with an unconscious Avalanche on his back, and Ryleigh Ripley cocks an eyebrow at the sociopath.

"Improbable of him for leaving the lair." Ryleigh responded.

"I did what I have to do, Ryleigh." Quicksilver upbraided, and he dropped a semiconscious Avalanche on the floor.

"I'll be at the lair with my cult while you start your conversation with your boys." Ryleigh responded, leaving Quicksilver to muse on his encounter with both the Young Ghostbusters and the X-Men.

That witch! This is why I don't get along with a woman like Ryleigh Ripley! Quicksilver thought.

Magneto emerges from the hall and discovers Quicksilver ticked off over the quarrel between Avalanche and young ghostbusters' leader Egon Spengler III.

"What is the meaning of this?" Magneto questioned.

"Magneto, I found Avalanche alone at the Herald Towers, so he disobeyed your orders." Quicksilver explained.

"No excuses, Pietro! Take action on the repercussions. Same thing with Avalanche!" Magneto enjoined, floating away from the throne room furious.

Avalanche rises from his torpor to find Blob and Toad by his side as Quicksilver regrets striking his fellow member of the Brotherhood from the back.

"You let that red-haired human get away, Quicksilver!" Avalanche grumbled.

"Forgive me, but Magneto told you not to go rogue. I must hold you accountable." Quicksilver informed.

"Hold me accountable?!" Avalanche thundered, "Hold me accountable?!! I was this close to pulverizing their leader if it wasn't for the interference of the X-Men!"

"Look, what if I told you that Adder is aligning with Master Mold, the enemy who hunts for mutants. What would our alliance with Adder play out?" he queried.

"This may take a while to figure out." Avalanche answered, and the other members became skeptical with the notion at first.

Luther Rutledge practices an advanced form of dark ritual to boost the strength of dark magic with Ugamanuga conducting the formula for disaster. Malle Fale glances at Ryleigh, who entered the lair after a brief conversation with Quicksilver, and rushes up to her fellow cult member.
