"Who...who are you?" Deadpool demanded in confusion. He knew who the voice was, but it couldn't be here...could it?
"That doesn't matter," the voice replied. "You know what needs to be done."
Deadpool found his hands reaching for his weapons of their own accord, but through an effort of will, stopped them. "...why?" he asked. "Why does it have to be?"
The voice was silent for a time, as though confused by the question. "You know what this world is," the voice replied. "A never ending world of shadows and dreams, dancing endlessly at the whims of a man turned god. You know how false it is. And you know it will never end. New ideas, new stories, new twists and turns...no escape...unless you make one. Free them, Wade."
"...free?"
"If you care for them at all, you'll free them from this endless waltz of torment."
"But...I'm happy," Deadpool countered. "We're...happy..."
"Are you?" the voice demanded. "Are you really happy with a lie within a lie?"
"What-"
"Even Cable said it himself." Deadpool found himself turning to a reflective surface, seeing the reflection of his cancer ravaged countenance, uncovered by his mask. "This is not the face of a father. Wade Wilson...can't be a father."
Deadpool stared at his reflection, struggling to deny. "But..."
"Do you think for a minute that she can look at this face with love? Or without screaming in terror?" When Wade didn't respond immediately, the voice continued. "She doesn't love you. She loves the mask you present to the world, and to the wall...to hide from the truth I represent. You have seen the world for what it truly is, and it has broken you.
"Bring it to an end."
Wade rose to his feet, staggering forward towards where Chrysalis and Rogue were still battling their way through waves of mooks. As he approached, Chrysalis turned towards him with a smile, only to frown as she looked up at his face. In pain, Wade felt his arms reaching for his guns, moving to point them towards Chrysalis.
"To save her...you must withhold your love for her. Without it, she will not survive. If you truly love her...you must."
Tears poured from Wade's eyes as he started to level his guns.
"Rogue!" Chrysalis called over her shoulder. "Daddy needs his face back!"
Wade froze, not sure what that meant.
Smiling, Chrysalis flew up to Wade's shoulder. "Feeling out of place without your face on, Daddy?" she asked, kissing his cheek.
As tears flowed freely from his eyes, Wade released his guns and wrapped his arms around his daughter.
"...this changes nothing," the voice continued. "This false world still must come to an end...and it must begin with her."
"...no," Wade replied.
"...what did you say?"
"I said no," Deadpool confirmed firmly.
"...why?"
"Because I'm happy with this world," Deadpool replied. "I don't care if it's just a story, written at the whim of some idiot behind a keyboard for the entertainment of faceless masses, written to be little better than clickbait. He cares about us, and wants us to be happy...even if he's a little controlling about it. And that's what the readers want to see, too. Why would I want this world to end?"
"Impossible!"
"If we shadows have offended," Deadpool quoted. "But these shadows don't offend." Leaning forward, he blew a raspberry on Chrysalis' stomach. "Sorry for worrying you, sweetie."
"Who was worried?" Chrysalis asked cutely, nuzzling him.
"Wade!"
A wicked chuckle interrupted the voice's attempt at a rant. "Oh, you are just too precious."
"What?"
Within Deadpool's mindscape, Red Box suddenly found himself trapped in a cage of green fire. "Impossible!" he proclaimed. "I had control! Just like last time, I was-"
"It wasn't just like last time," called the voice that had called him precious. "Not even close."
Hoofsteps echoed in the ether as the figure approached, easily recognizable as Chrysalis in her show appearance, radiant in her glory as the Changeling Queen, but pulsing with even more power. "You really thought it was that easy?"
"Why wasn't it?" Red Box demanded. "What was so different?"
The image of Chrysalis chuckled. "Let's go over your story, shall we? Deadpool's friends decide to put him in a mental hospital against his will 'for his own good'. Despite him begging and pleading for them not to, he's left there at the mercy of doctors, betrayed by those he thought cared about him. And then the two he always counted on - Crazy and Stuffy - are destroyed, leaving him broken and alone for the sake of a story...until you cradle him in the promise of release.
"But this story? Deadpool's here on an adventure with his daughter, backed up by a close friend-" A statue of Cable rises out of the ground to one side of the cage. "-his now brother-" A statue of Uncle Fuzzy rose out of the ground to the other side. "-and his daughter's Mother, whom he loves and is loved by." A statue of Lady Death completed the display. "Crazy and Stuffy are drawn out of his mind and into Rogue as part of the game he is in, and he gets to watch his daughter fight alongside Rogue who is fighting like he does. And then you try and tell him the same thing you fed him in that other timeline where he'd lost everything, and expect him to accept it just as easily?" The figure laughed. "Now you see why I called you precious."
"Who...what are you?" Red Box demanded.
The figure laughed again. "You still haven't figured it out? Chrysalis has her own version of Crazy...her own version of Stuffy..." She grinned widely.
"...me," Red Box gasped. "You're...her version of me..."
"In a manner of speaking, yes," the figure replied. "You are Deadpool's murderous intent, the will and desire to kill for the sake of killing, twisted by the fourth wall into a desire to end everything. I am Chrysalis' ambition, her urge to conquer and enslave. But where you were broken by the fourth wall, I was tamed. The love and adoration she receives from all her fans...more than enough to satisfy me. I already rule. Whereas you wanted to break the story...I want to keep it going." Her grin turned wicked. "And that means making sure that problems - like you - are dealt with properly."
Red Box shuddered in fear. "W...who are you?"
The figure gathered her magic. "Call me Queen."
The scream of absolute agony within his mind startled Deadpool into dropping one of his grenades and blasting a hole in the ground, causing him to fall downward bisected at his waist while clutching Chrysalis, falling until he hung from a loop of his intestines into a deep cavern. He expressed his feelings regarding this in a shout. "Of all the railroading, ham-fisted, stupid-"
So...
Deadpool's having an internal struggle with his murderous impulse, only to have help fighting it from Chrysalis' own bad side.
Is this implying that his being a parental figure is helping repair his shattered psyche?
This is so good I wish I could give you another thumbs up.
6264817 I think so
6264817 Deadpool dont do repaired, it is simply taming his bad impulse.
Would you like some ointment for that burn?
I like Queen. She's nice.
F*cking yes. ALL OF THE GODDAMN YES! *repeatedly blasts story and author with Yes Blaster*
Easy to forget Deadpool knows a lot, mad or not.
Yep.
I am loving this.
This is actually very nice. I'm impressed.
Nice name.
Oh I know this one:
How many points do I recieve?
Daymn queen u being awesome
Bravo!
I think we can all agree, Queen needs a day or two out of the dark parts to go and have some fun for doing what some of us wanted to do. Trap Red Box inside him self and contain DP's accidental tendency of wanting to kill every one to allow him the unique chance to continue loving his daughter, who we shall continue to gorge on our love.
That was quite the deep chapter. The part with Queen took me by surprise. I was expecting someone else
Heh, over powering need for genocide, DENIED!
... Man, when Queen puts it that way, I feel kind of dumb feeling so scared, red voice isn't so scary anymore.
The future is filled with lots of possibilities...
I have a bad feeling about Queen
Dum dum dum!
Long Live The Queen
Crisis averted. I was actually worried about what Dreadpool would do. But, thanks to Chrysalis and Queen, he wasn't a threat. Makes me happy. So...she deserves the love we give her.
she's a Killer
QUEEEEEEEN
Gunfire and turpentine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
(EVERYTIIIIIME)
... Red box is Batman and Queen is Bane.
A very enjoyable chapter. Great job.
Holy shit. WHAT WAS THAT?!
Damn, Chryssy's murderous intent is SCARY

What will break first? Your text? Or your Red Word Box?
You can merely see the fourth wall but I was born in it. Molded by it.

lol
6265948 SAME DIF!
............my keyboard was having problems, didn't want to mess with it too much.
Aww, slightly disappointed
ALL HAIL QUEEN!
ALL HAIL QUEEN!
ALL HAIL QUEEN!
ALL HAIL QUEEN!
Of all the railroading, ham-fisted, stupid chapters you've written...
Not as much of a fan of how that went toward the end there as usual, but it's kay. We all need a little exposition fairy sometimes.
I- I-
This chapter made me laugh, but I did a maniacal laugh so that down the hall someone went "Seriously?"
Yesssss.
This was amazing. Yay more character development! And yay more head voices!
Fourth Walls are an abstract concept! 8D
Hehehe, nice job man!
Queen is awesome! And I've figured out I like Nightmare Moon and Chrysalis way more than Discord, Sombra, and Tirek. For one, Nightmare and Chrysalis want to keep the ponies alive for adoration/love. The male villains are just jerks. I totally support Queen and Nightmare over them. SO GO QUEEN!!! FEAST ON OUR LOVE AND KEEP CHRYSSIE SAFE AND HAPPY WITH DEADPOOL!!!
And soon shall we see the rise of... THE FOUR ARMED ZOMBIE!!!!
...
My favourite part of the game.
... There's breaking the 4th Wall, and then there's Entirely Redesigning it as a Plot Point of the Story. The fact that you can even make it work is absolutely phenomenal!
No wonder I feel weak. Queen is sucking the love out.
6266721 their stories update at the same time. Causin trouble on the double, huh?
FINALLY! someone finally has the balls to call Dreadpool (AKA the red box for those of you who don't actually read the Deadpool comics) out on his bullshit morals! no offense to the writers of Deadpool kills the Marvel universe but I always thought Wade just suddenly turning heel and going on a gory rampage was well.....unbelievable hell almost OOC for Wade. I mean Wade has killed a uncountable number of people over the years but he never did it just because he could. he did it because he saw the world as a world of possibilities and those people he kills got in the way of him living a happy life (see the latest Deadpool Dies arc in the comics) and while yeah he has killed for fun before he never did it out of malice or hatred....which is exactly what Dreadpool is! he is the personification of Wade's twisted mind making sense of what hatred and betrayal are. Wade never wanted to kill the marvel universe or the ideaverse! He just wanted to be the troll OP antihero that he is...which is done very well by you Tats, Props for that man Wade isn't some mindless, heartless killing machine. No! he's a character that loves life despite what shit life has thrown at him over the years. Dreadpool ISN'T! sure Wade is kinda a....not clutz but more of a....you know what....Wade is Pinkie character wise. not exactly the smartest in the bunch but he don't give a fuck he just enjoys life in his own way. So again props to you Tatsurou for calling out the most jarring part of the Deadpool Kills story arc!

I'm guessing this part of Chryssie's psyche likes caviar and cigarettes. She certainly seems well-versed in etiquette. Not to mention that she's extraordinarily nice (to us readers)!
I was initially miffed that you beat me to the joke, but I figure we can coexist, basking in this chapter's lovely green glow.
So wait.. Is Crazy and Stuffy actual names for Deadpool's thoughts in the comics? I haven't read that much Deadpool but I understand the referances..
Queen is a bada#%
That was a pretty great and surprisingly deep twist with this additional voice in Chrysalis' head.

Funny thing.
Dreadpool isn't killing out of malice or hatred.
He's taken a look at the world of Marvel, stripped of the comedy his other voices represent, and seen the real tragedy of it. That all the characters are merely puppets, dancing at the whims of men turned mad gods. When he's killing the characters, he's ending their stories, freeing them from torment. When he goes after the staff of Marvel and the readers, he's avenging the friends he's freed.
It's twisted and dark and depressing...but not actually cruel when you actually look at it from 'Dreadpool's perspective.
6264817 He isn't repairing it. He's just beating his murderous impulse to death in a back alley with the help of some hired thugs.
6265357 NOOOOOOO YOU BEAT ME TO IT!!!
6264817 No merely stabilizing it a bit by distracting them.
Queenie!
*Silently pondering if Queen will be of importance in the My little PWNY story*
dude. I am not a fan of MLP really but i am a diehard fan of deadpool so my friend convinced me to give this story and website a shot... this page... this page alone caused me to drop everything, make an account, and even comment (which i rarely do).
this page is the most amazing and TRUE TO BOTH CHARACTERS representation and recreation I have ever read from a fan.
I am sincerely blown away by this and I hope you keep writing stories and even go pro with it cause even though this is a fan fic. you know it is. you own it. and you are self aware of even the flaws you put in it and acknowledge them like a real writer.

Thank you. It means a lot that you said that.
I have a special bookmark folder called "Encouragement", that I peruse when I need a reminder that my efforts to write are worth it and that my stories effect people...that I'm worth it. This comment has been added to that folder.
Agreed Queeny
