User blog:Uncleben/Scratch notes - possible storyline - Juggernaut

-Juggernaut's (Cain Marko) journey in orbit (flew into orbit by Skaar) did not last long and ended in Cain plummeting hard to the ground landing in the backyard of Psylocke's Lake House in England. -Worse for the wear after his fall, Psylocke and her brother Captain Britain (Brian Braddock) nurse Cain back to consciousness and good health. -Owing the two a favour, having worked with Braddock before as part of Excalibur, Juggernaut offers his services. Braddock asks him to go to America to grab some intel for MI-13. -Upon arriving in America, Juggernaut crosses paths with Sandman (William Baker). -The two complete a couple of vigilante duties during their time together - although Marko cant help but get the feeling he is being followed. (Unbeknownst to him it is Vulture actually trailing Sandman, who is upset with Sandman for walking out on their parntership)

-During one secretive intel mission for Braddock (ie. Marko is alone from Sandman) Marko eyes, a now older, Carter Ghazikhanian. Knowing Carter's links to the X-Men, along with the feeling of being stalked for the past while, Marko becomes suddenly angry, as he previously warned Xavier not to send anyone to try to find him. -Just as he jumps Carter, Juggernaut sees that although he is older, Carter is still a young boy and just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Then everything comes rushing back to him. Marko remembers Carter as the close friend of Squidboy (Samuel Pare) - Marko's old friend who was killed by Black Tom Cassidy. -The pain, remorse, and guilt hat he had been suppressing immediately allow him to let Carter go, but now Carter's instincts kick in. -Still not in full control of his mutant abilities, Carter barrages Juggernaut with his telepathy, hacking into his mind. The two share a brief mind-link where Marko catches glimpses of Carter's thoughts and memories before blacking out. -Carter, stunned by what he has just done, stands still over Marko's unconscious body - not sure what to do. -Marko quickly stirs and awakens, and Carter begins to flee. Marko quickly grabs him and explains he means no harm.

-The two talk and Marko invites him to come along with him and Sandman. Marko wants to get to know Carter better - he caught a glimpse of one of Carter's memoriess. A memory where Phoenix tells Carter about the Life Force and her ability of revival. He hopes to undo the early end he brought to Squidboy. -Juggernaut, Sandman and Carter track down the Phoenix (now White Phoenix)

-Revives Squidboy -->But he is not who Juggernaut remembers. Samuel still likes Marko, and they get along fine, but there is no connection between the two, like there used to be. It is not the same Squidboy, just a the same body. -Juggernaut is upset and misses his old friend more. -He tries attacking Phoenix, but she resists, and begins to drain his powers from him. -She does not take all of his powers, but leaves him considerably less strength, stamina and speed than he's ever had before. She warns him to never show his face to her again, or else she will take his Life Force next time. -Squidboy obviously shaken by all of the recent events and seeing how much Juggernaut actually cared about him, now begins to warm up to Juggernaut. -The new Squidboy hardly remembers the past life of Samuel Pare and has much trouble finding understanding and purpose. He has little idea of who he is or why he is there. He asks Juggernaut to teach him and to train him.
