First I'd like to say I'm sorry to everyone who was reading this story the first time, for not updating. I stopped because I didn't like the way the story was turning out and I just couldn't come up with in ideas for new chapters. I'm planning on finshing the story this time, but I don't know how fast I can write the chapters so don't expect quick updates. The story will probably be the same for the first chapters except for some differences. The first chapter is exactly the same except for one or two minor differences. I also added Apocalypse's Most Wanted List.

Disclaimer: I don't own the X-Men, the only original things are the names "The Battalion" and "The Outcasts"

The X-Men failed that day. They managed to stop his plan to infect everyone with the X-Gene, but they didn't finish him off. Apocalypse started a war against the humans after the battle. Five have passed and the world has slipped into chaos. Only a few remain that still follow the dreams of Charles Xavier. They are the only ones that might have a chance to stop Apocalypse, before he reaches his dream of complete genocide of the human race.

The Battalion

Leader: Apocalypse

Apocalypse: Started the war against the humans. He has his own army of mutants, led by his horsemen.

The Four Horsemen:

Charles Xavier (Death): Never broke the hold Apocalypse put on him. The name Death was given to him by Apocalypse.

Ororo Munroe (Storm): Never broke the hold Apocalypse put on her.

Erik Lehnsherr (Magneto): Never broke the hold Apocalypse put on him.

Mystique: Never broke the hold Apocalypse put on her.

Other:

Pietro Maximoff (Quicksilver): Joined Apocalypse to be close to his father. He has lost all hope that his father will return to normal. He is Wanda's brother.

Wanda Maximoff(Scarlet Witch): Joined Apocalypse to be close to her father. She, unlike her brother, is still trying to get her father back to normal.

Alex Summers (Havok): Left the X-Men after a fight with his brother. Without any guidance, Death easily corrupted his mind.

Hank McCoy (Beast): Without the Professor help him control his darker side, he became evil and willingly joined Apocalypse. He is used to create soldiers by using the bodies of fallen mutants.


The X-Men

Leader: Cyclops

Scott Summers (Cyclops): Became leader of the X-Men after the first battle. He was not ready for the job and lack of experience cost him many friends and allies during the first years of the war. He is now an excellent leader. The war has made him much more serious and angry.

Logan (Wolverine): Only stayed with the X-Men, because he still believes in Charles Xavier's dream, and to protect the kids. The war has made him more violent then he ever was. Without help from the Professor, he loses his sanity more everyday.

Jean Grey: Stayed with the X-Men to stay close to Scott and try and reach the Professor's dream. She is still always trying to do the right thing and will do anything to protect her friends.

Peter Rasputin (Colossus): Since Magneto was no longer himself; Colossus joined the X-Men hoping to stop Apocalypse.

Kitty Pryde (Shadow Cat): Stayed with the X-Men after the first battle.

Bobby Drake (Iceman): Stayed with the X-Men after the first battle. The war has given him a cold heart to match his ice powers.

Lance Alvers (Avalanche): Joined the X-Men after the first battle to be close to Kitty. They have grown further apart after he was captured and tortured by Mystique. The things that happened to him has mad him cruel and violent.

There are other mutants, but they are not willing to fight.


X-Calibur

Leader: Nightcrawler

Kurt Wagner (Nightcrawler): Left the X-Men after having a fight with Cyclops that nearly killed him. He had vanished for a year before anyone saw him again. He started his own group with the same goal as the X-Men. The war, and the year fighting on his own, has made him extremely powerful and vicious. He now carries two swords and is an incredible fighter.

Rogue: She left the X-Men after Kurt returned and joined X-Calibur to stay close to her brother and fight Apocalypse. She can now fly, has super strength, and is invulnerable to many attacks.

Victor Creed (Sabretooth): Magneto wasn't around, and he didn't want to take orders from Apocalypse, so he tried to join the X-Men. Wolverine wouldn't let it happen, so he joined X-Calibur to fight Apocalypse and try to free Magneto. The war has made him as violent as Logan.

Warren Worthington III (Archangel): He was on his own for most of the war trying to save humans from Apocalypse. He eventually joined X-Calibur to have a better chance at stopping Apocalypse. The war and the things he has seen have left him as vicious as Nightcrawler. He now carries a sword as a weapon.

Tabitha Smith (Boom-Boom): Joined X-Calibur when Kurt returned because she felt that what Scott did to him was wrong.

Amara Aquilla (Magma): She followed Tabitha and joined X-Calibur

Remy LeBeau (Gambit): He is not officially part of the team. He mostly just fends for himself, but often helps them out to be close to Rogue.


The Outcasts

Leader: Spyke

Evan Daniels (Spyke): The Morlocks were all killed by Storm in an attempt to free her from Apocalypse's control. Spyke spent four of the fives years on his own fighting anyone that was involved with Apocalypse. He is probably psychotic, but he hides it well. He is merciless, vicious, violent, and relentless. He has become one of the most dangerous mutants in the world.

X-23: Like Spyke, she spent four of the five years on her own. She ran into Spyke while she was wandering the ruins in New York. She decided that she would never defeat Apocalypse on her own and joined him. She has become much more violent since the last time she was seen. She is extremely dangerous.

Ray Crisp (Berzerker): He left the X-Men along with others after the Battle of Mexico. The year he spent fighting with the other mutants left him with many anger issues. He was one of Spyke's best friends and quickly joined him.

Rahne Sinclair (Wolfsbane): Was one of the mutants that left with Berzerker. The fighting has made her more savage and primal, she is slowly becoming an animal. She joined The Outcasts because she felt safer.


Other

Blob: Became an X-Man after the first battle. He was killed by Magneto in the Battle of Mexico. He was used by Beast for experiments.

Toad: Joined Apocalypse after the first battle. He was killed by Nightcrawler in the Battle of Mexico. He was used by Beast for experiments.

Roberto DaCosta (Sunspot): Left with Berzerker after the Battle of Mexico.

Jubilation Lee (Jubilee): Left with Berzerker after the Battle of Mexico.

Sam Guthrie (Cannonball): Left with Berzerker after the Battle of Mexico.

Multiple: Was killed by Havok and Quicksilver during the Battle of Mexico, and then used for experiments by Beast.

Cain Marko (Juggernaut): Unknown

Pyro: Joined Apocalypse after the first battle. He was killed by Iceman during the Battle of Mexico. He was used by Beast for experiments.

Mastermind: Unknown

Forge: Unknown

This is what happened to the mutants. Things have changed. They are the ones that will fight the War of Apocalypse.
