Cross: Rise of the Villains

We're in.

Call the other guardians.

Never was there a team such as this.

They assist our cross team.

The ruthless villains:

All right, guys, let's get to work.

The last comic we defended ended in disaster.

We lost Riley.

Callan took it hard.

Callan is a soldier.

He knows exactly what it means to live this type of life.

And Riley died in battle.

They deal with the loss and move forward.

That is the job.

Well, let's kick some ass

and save every life that we can.

Is that what it appears to be?

The entire Cross team is dead?

There's 16 tombstones. That means...

Both of the Cross teams dead.

They will be if we don't change the outcome.

Legend has it that the third issue of the comic

is the most dangerous

with the most difficult opponents.

And listen closely.

What we do tonight

can and will determine the final outcome

and life or death of the Cross team.

In the last issue, Muerte had opened a briefcase,

and it cast a glowing red light on his face.

He seemed pretty excited about it.

Yeah. He said, "Ladies, we've got our edge."

Exactly. So we know Muerte has something powerful in his hands.

And some time has passed.

So let's see where we come in.

"The Cross team is in the high desert,

stopping a major gun sale.

However, they didn't expect half of Muerte's army

to be there.

Blackfire and War are taking some serious heat

behind a boulder."

Damn. They're everywhere! Yeah. They are.

Apples? Seriously? Don't worry about my apples.

I told Nuke I love food, okay?

So he made something special.

Special? Like what? These.

Whoo!

How much do truck drivers make?

You driving a rig 80 miles an hour,

pulling 70,000 pounds?

Oh, shit! What's wrong with that?

I think you'll survive longer dodging these bullets.

I mean, all comic heroes get benefits.

Benefits? Hey, like what?

I mean, I'm sure Deadpool gets down

on cheesecake and caviar.

Cheesecake and caviar?

Yeah. That's disgusting.

You know he's pulling his mask up

and eating sandwiches

and getting down in between takes.

Airmail! It's on the way and it's coming on time.

Dude. Whoo!

Hold it. Did your mother drop you repeatedly?

Man, I was my mama's favorite.

She's the one taught me how to throw.

Boom, boom!

Why am I always getting shot at?

Because you never shut up. They know where to find you.

Why are you wearing shorts? I came straight from the gym.

You don't work out. Look at your ankles.

Boom!

Airmail! Delivered on time, every time!

Hey. Launch, launch!

Throw it!

Fore!

Get down! Shots fired!

One for the money.

Two... - Your 6 o'clock.

for the show.

Three for your mama.

Because your mama is a ho.

Ranger, cover me and Blackfire!

Careful!

Lucia, focus on contact!

Reload!

Chaos, get your ass down!

Got the son of a bitch on the right! I got him!

Chaos!

Talk to me! You alive?

I'm just relaxing.

Not like on-a-sandy-beach relaxing.

Spring break is over, sis.

Get your ass up

and sling some lead! I'm going, I'm going!

Reload!

Damn.

Sometimes you have to take care of things

the old-fashioned way,

especially when they're personal.

You tried to kill my little sister.

Just like lab rats.

Walked right into it.

No respect for their enemies.

Let's see what the ladies are doing.

Send us in. We like to play.

Yeah, put us in, coach.

Seize the day, boss.

Not just yet.

My plan is just getting started.

All right, let's get these guns loaded.

Hey, fellas.

Looks like I got a flat tire. Could you help?

Just a little flat tire.

We gotta move these-- We gotta-- We gotta move this stuff, guys.

Muerte's gonna kill us. We gotta move this. I'm sorry.

Please?

You're wondering what we're doing

with all those guns.

Having one hell of a party.

Hey, boys.

Well, maybe I...

I better not. No, no, no.

No, Muerte's gonna-- Muerte's gonna kill us.

Hey, boss, it's almost time.

Think he'll make it?

He'll be here.

He waited a long time, and he's come a long way.

All bad guys.

Right on time.

I knew you wouldn't miss a party. Heh.

Muerte.

You know, it's ironic, with a name like death,

that you would find what I finally need.

It's good to see you, old friend.

It's been a while.

Yeah.

I see you're keeping the Cross team entertained.

Just like I promised.

I keep them busy till you can get my prize--

Oh, speaking of our prize...

Show her to me.

I have yours.

My baby has been gone for much too long.

The third and final amulet.

The amulet of death...

and immortality.

That cost me a pretty penny.

Yeah, I heard you lost some men trying to acquire it.

Too bad it'll only work for you,

or I would have taken a shot at it.

I bet you tried it on anyway.

I bet you did.

Looks like you're gonna lose more soldiers today.

Collateral damage.

Well worth the loss.

My guys will keep them busy,

so you can get what I asked for.

Oh, I'll get it.

I got the amulet for you.

Now get me what I need.

You'll have what you desire, Muerte.

That's a promise.

It's heavily guarded.

But I made sure everyone will be dead

by the time you get there.

You're not the type of guy to leave loose ends.

You'll have what you need.

Nice to see you, caveman.

Okay, let's finish this up and go home.

I've got a comfy bed waiting for us.

Who are you?

Charlie's maids?

You're so cute. Does your mommy know

you're out here talking smack?

Yeah, to a bunch of girls that are about to kick your ass.

So you hos about to kick my ass?

Oh, not them. Just me.

Give me some sugar, baby.

Really? One throat punch?

I've got to find a bigger guy.

Oh, my God.

Wanna dance, little lady? Bring it on.

Dance on that, punk.

Oh, yeah.

I'll fuck you up, motherfucker.

You okay? I'm fine.

Left!

Reload!

Get your head up, you damn turkey.

There you go.

You good?

All clear.

That does it for these cockroaches.

Let's link up with the team.

I think I heard Blackfire coming from over there.

Where? Over there.

Right. Let's go this direction.

Yeah, I can hear him now.

"Blackfire did this. Blackfire did that."
