                                                  Slipping into Death's 
Embrace
                                                       by Daniel 
Hernandez


                          Dana Scully and Fox Mulder were sitting in 
their basement office when a light enveloped them. Suddenly, they were in 
a room full of people. They ranged in shapes and sizes. One of them said 
"Oh boy, more people."
  Mulder said "Who the hell are you." The man looked Mulder up and down 
and just laughed.
   He said "Names Burton, Jack Burton.("Big Trouble in Little China") The 
names of my friends respectfully are Snake Plisskin, (a tattooed bad-ass 
from "Escape From New York") Juanito,(from "Desperado") Lt. Ripley, (from 
"Alien") Duncan Macleod, of the Clan Macleod, (The Highlander) Rambo, 
(You better know Rambo) Indiana Jones, (Indiana Jones") and James Bond. 
(Bond movies.) We are all here for some reason that we don't know. Do you 
know?"
          "He doesn't know, said a voice, but I do." Before any one could 
interrupt he said, " You are here because I need your help. My name is 
translated into your language is 
"Knower". So you may call me that. The help I need is very dangerous and 
I do not expect you all to live. However those of you that do live will 
be granted your hearts deepest desire. What I need is for you to fight 
some people that are coming to get me. I have many enemies among my race, 
and they must be stopped. They have also brought "Champions" if you will 
to fight. "
          Burton always the bold one stepped forward and said "Why don't 
you fight?"
 "Because Mr. Burton I grow old and to fight so many would surely be my 
end. In fact that is why I picked you people. You are the noblest, 
strongest, warriors on Earth. Mr. Burton you yourself slew Lo Pan my long 
time enemy."
          Macleod stirred "You slew Lo Pan?" he asked amazed. 
   Burton responded modestly "Yeah he stole my truck."
         Mulder whispered to Scully "Why are we here? I mean any of these 
guys
could kick my ass. Even that girl over there."
    "Do not underestimate yourself  Agent Mulder. You and Agent Scully 
will have very important roles in the battle ahead. Well I have explained 
all I can for now. When we get to your destination I will give you more 
details. Good-bye for now." And with that there was a flash of light and 
he was gone.
                 Jones said "This is too strange"
  "Agreed" Bond said. Mulder walked around the room nervously. He didn't 
like this one bit. Though he had now had conformation of alien life he 
didn't know what to do. He thought he was going to throw up.
      Macleod said "As long as we are stuck together we might as well 
tell a little about each other." Scully looked at the men in this room 
and found that most of them were incredibly handsome. However she knew 
there was only room in her heart for one man, though he didn't know it. 
He continued, "My name is Duncan Macleod, and I am an immortal. I cannot 
be killed unless you were to cut off my head. We have existed on Earth 
for as long as anyone can remember. I myself am 400 years old."
   "Great" said Burton. "More magic. I am as I said Jack Burton. I don't 
have a clue as to why I am here, but I guess it is because me and my pals 
Wang and Egg Shen killed Lo Pan. He was a magic demon with no blood. As 
far as I am concerned I just want to get the hell out of here and get my 
truck back."
  "Indiana Jones is my name. I think that I am slightly out of my time. 
The last thing I remember is just getting back to the States after 
finding the Holy Grail. Oh, that is why I am here I guess. I found The 
Arc of the Covenant and The Holy Grail. I am just an archaeologist at 
heart though." They continued this way for several hours. Telling their 
stories and judging one another. Several small groups formed in fact. 
Juanito, Rambo, and Ripley made up one group. Scully, Mulder, Macleod, 
Jones, and Bond in another. The last group was Burton and Plisskin the 
two loners of the group. 
  Mulder said to Scully, "Dear god!! Some of the things these people have 
gone through compared to us makes us look like babies. I mean an Immortal 
swordsman, a Nazi hating WWII adventurer, a secret agent, and all the 
others. What have we done compared to them?"
   Before Scully could answer the Knower said, "Again Mr. Mulder do not
underestimate yourself. It is true you have not taken out a Mexican mob 
by yourself or jumped off the Eiffel Tower, but you are a key part of my 
plan. We are here. This is aplanet designed for battle. It...
  "Where do you get your ideas?" asked Burton, "Marvel comics?"
  "Why yes Mr. Burton."
  "Oh"
"At any rate you are facing some of the most dastardly villains ever seen.
 I have a list for you all. Verbal Kint or Keyser Soze if you wish, (the 
Usual Suspects) Cancer Man, (X-files duh!) The Terminator, (Terminator 
The Predator, (Predator) Vincent Vega, (Pulp Fiction) Mike Corleone (The 
Godfather movies) Mr. Pink, (Reservoir Dogs) Simon, (Die Hard with a 
Vengeance) Flattop, (Dick Tracy) and your most deadly opponent, Mr.Leland 
Guant. (Needful Things) You will have a base of operations so you can 
plan for your battles. There will be weapons that you can use. I will 
give you one clue for the battles. When fighting Guant, to win you must 
BELIEVE. Good bye everyone."
  Suddenly the heroes found themselves sitting at a table. There were 
maps,
weapons, and all sorts of weird instruments. They got up and looked 
around. They discussed strategy for awhile and soon decided that Rambo, 
Ripley, Juanito, and Indiana Jones would be the advance team. They would 
go on a exploration mission. The object was to find out there weaknesses 
and try and eliminate some of them.
  Rambo and the others moved quickly. Rambo leading the way to the base 
that was outlined on a map that was provided for them. Soon they made it 
to the base and tried to find a way inside. Rambo said "I found an 
opening on the roof. Come on." 
  They scaled the wall and looked down on the villains. All ten of the 
bad guys
looked over a map. Soon the bald one looked up and said "Intruder!! Kill 
them!" As all the villains raised their weapons Rambo and Ripley fired 
off many shots. None of them hit except one. It caught Simon right 
between the eyes. He died instantly. Mike Corleone took aim and shot 
Ripley several times in the chest. She toppled over and fell on to the 
map the villains were looking at, staining it a sinister crimson. 
  Rambo who was angered greatly by Ripley dying jumped down on to all of 
them screaming, "I've got a present for ya!!!!" With that he shot Mike 
Corleone fifteen times in the chest. With his other hand he grabbed a 
fallen gun and shot Vega dead. Flattop raised his tommy gun and riddled 
Rambo with bullets.
   Juanito and Jones who had been trying to give cover were being shot at 
by this time. Juanito said in his thick accent "Go! Tell the others what 
has happened!" With that he leapt out of his cover firing repeated shots 
with his guns. Jones scurried up the way the came and took off for the 
base. 
  Juanito knew he was almost certainly doomed. The Terminator grabbed a 
Bazooka and fired at Juanito. He ducked out of the way, but the villains 
didn't know that. He realized that with them thinking he was dead he had 
the perfect opportunity to wait and recuperate until the others came. 
Then he could help when the attack did come. All he had to do was wait...


   After the battle cleared the bodies away. Verbal said "Fuck it!! We 
lost the same amount of guys. Simon, Vega, and Corleone all dead. What 
are we going to do now.?"
 Cancer Man answered smoothly "We will wait for whatever Guant tells us 
to do. I have a feeling that we can waist these annoying bastards with 
time. I for one want to take out Scully and Mulder.
	Cancer Man said, "We took out commando boy, the chick, and the spic. (I 
am not racist. Just showing how bad Cancer Man is) We got three of the 
toughest." With that something just appeared next to Flattop. It was a 
most hideous creature. It had fangs and big eyes. Yes, the Predator was a 
hrrible sight. Luckily for whoever was watching it soon put it's mask on 
to cover the terrible visage. "We just have to think." said Cancer Man.	
     Jones ran faster than he had ever run. After what seemed like 
forever he got to the base. He rushed by Burton who was stationed on 
guard. He rushed into the war room and collapsed. Mulder said, "What the 
hell happened?"
 "I.....ran......Rambo.....Ripley.....dead."
 "Juanito?"
 "I don't know. I didn't see him go down. He is probably gone though. We 
managed to take out Mike Corleone, Vincent Vega, and Simon. I didn't see 
Guant once though."
  Macleod came out from the war room and said " I think I know what we 
can do to take the base."
 "How is that?" asked Scully.
 "If we lure some of them into a trap then we can attack them form to 
sides. Like we dig a trench. Hide people in the trench. Send people out 
to get them to follow and then spring the trap!"
 "To late for that!" cried Burton, "here they come!" The two armies set 
up behind rocks and in ditches. They were ready for anything. The fire 
fight began slowly with no side having the upper hand. Then in one 
horrible moment the Predator appeared next to Bond. He didn't stand a 
chance. He was blown apart by the blast from Predator's gun.
  His dying words were, "Oops." Burton enraged by his friends death 
grabbed his knife that was attached to his ankle and hurled it at 
Predator's face. It connected with a disgusting sound. The Predator was 
dead.
  "I love this knife!!!" Burton screamed. Mulder and Scully were laying 
down cover fire for each other when Macleod went down. He was decapitated 
by none other than Verbal Kint lying in wait for him. He smiled that evil 
smile and tried to run back to shelter, but Jones angered by another 
friends death fired shots into his back. Parts of Verbal's lung flew 
through the air and he went down. Someone actually shot the devil in the 
back. (Inside joke from Usual Suspects.) Snake Plisskin covered Mulder as 
he ran to better
cover. Mulder called "Snake look out behind you!" Snake looked behind him 
in time to see the Predator coming towards him. He managed to pull up the 
bazooka he had been using to blast the Terminator into oblivion. He took 
a shot to the chest though.
  Mulder ran to him and with his dying breath Snake said, "Call me 
Plisskin." His head slumped and the only man to escape from New York was 
dead.
	 Flattop who was in charge called the retreat. But not before he shot 
Jones in the head. They backed off leaving only people alive on the 
battle field Mulder, Scully, and Burton. Mulder, Scully, and Burton 
entered the building. They knew the only people left
alive on the other side were Mr. Pink, Cancer Man, Flattop, and Guant. 
They knew they didn't stand a chance. Mulder said " I don't know about 
you guys, but I am going down fighting. If I die then they die too. 
Scully?"
  "I agree."
 Mulder said, "Burton you ready to slip into death's embrace?'
 "I was born ready."

  Guant said to his men "Hold them off as long as you can. I will take 
care of the rest." Mulder and the gang quickly covered the ground to the 
base. They entered though the same opening as the first group. They 
scaled the ropes down again. They walked through the compound and soon 
walked into a brightly lit room. Flattop, Mr. Pink, and Cancer Man 
quickly dodged all the bullets that were fired at them. They fired back 
at the heroes. Mr. Pink put his head up to see what was happening when 
Burton caught him right in the head. He slumped to the ground dead. 
Flattop came up and just went crazy. He fired
with a tommy gun in each hand. And oddly enough he was LAUGHING! He was 
laughing from the time he came up till the time he was shot in the head 
by Scully.
 Mulder said "Where is Cancer Man?"
 "Right here Mr. Mulder." he said with spite. He had a gun to Scully's 
head. 
 "If you shoot her you are a dead man." Mulder said calmly.
 "I am a dead man anyway. Say good-bye Ms. Scully. A loud shot was heard 
and blood and brains got all over Scully. Cancer Man slumped to the 
ground. Behind him a bloody and bruised Juanito looked crazed with the 
blood that splattered on to his face.
	"Who is the spic now motherfucker?"
 Suddenly a door opened and a man in a black trench coat walked out. He 
was an elderly man with an evil look about him. He said "Mr. Mulder I 
presume." Suddenly Juanito, Burton and Scully fell to the ground knocked 
out. "More privacy." he said simply.
  And suddenly Mulder doubled over in pain. It was more potent than any 
other pain he had ever felt. It was more than mere pain also. It was the 
pain of every bad thing that had ever happened to him. It was His sister 
being taken, it was Scully being gone, Arecibo, and so much more. Mulder 
tried to think of what the Knower had said "You have to  believe. You 
have to believe." 
 "In what?" wondered Mulder. "What!!!" "I want to belive!!!!  "Believe in 
MYSELF!!!" realized Mulder. He could defeat Guant. He had to. It was his 
destiny. He stood up. And he looked at Guant. "I have to believe in 
myself. Said Mulder. "I believe in myself, I believe in your weakness, 
and I believe your FUCKED!!!" And with that Mulder channeled his mind and 
with an eerie howl Guant exploded. 
 Suddenly a bright light came down and the Knower appeared. He said, 
"Thank you my friends. I will know scan your minds for your deepest 
desires. Juanito you want all your downed comrades to come back? Done. 
Suddenly they were all there. Burton you wish for your truck and your 
knife back? Fine. Then they to were there. Mulder and Scully I can not 
give you both what you want because you already have it, whether you know 
it or not. And the world dissolved into light and all was righted.
	Mulder and Scully appeared in their offices and just looked at each 
other. Mulder
said "What did you wish for?" 
 " I wished....I wished.......that you loved me."
 "Me too"
 "You love me Mulder?"
 "Isn't it obvious?" With that he pulled her to him and their lips met. 
And for a few brief moments all was right with the universe.
