Worse Than Death 1
By slickboy444
AN: I'm back! And I'm still in to X-men evolution. Here is the fic I mentioned in the last part of my previous X-men story "Matchmaker." I urge you to read it, but it doesn't have the action that this story has. This is a result of my obsession with X-men and my love of horror movies. I've always liked to get scared by something and this fic is a result of that habit. I urge you to tell me what you think of this story, along with all my other stories. The more reviews I get, the more motivation I have for completing the next part. Send reviews to slickboy444@aol.com. Remember, I don't own X-men or Zelda or any of the songs I may mention in the future so please don't sue! I have nothing. Thanks, and enjoy!
All my x-men evolution fics are dedicated to Jen (aka: littlesortaredheadedgirl) the author of the x-men evolution fic "Snow." I highly recommend you all read it.
AN: 'these mean character thoughts.' This fic takes place after my last fic "Matchmaker." This story also has some strong language, but I think it's manageable. Just remember, it's only a story.
**************************************
Do you want to know who I am? Do you really? Have you got any clue who you're dealing with? No, of coarse you don't. You assholes probably don't even care! I am not human; I am more than just a mutant. They say that mutants are nothing but mistakes in the human gene pool. Well I'm here to tell you all that's a load of crap. They say mutants are the greatest threat to humanity, yeah right! I...Am the greatest threat to humanity. I control, I understand the very thing that keeps humanity in check. I control the glue that binds humanity to it's pitiful self! I control the two things that will make even the mightiest being tremble before me! I control fear! I control pain! I am Morris!
You think I'm crazy?! You ain't seen nothing yet!
****************************************
In a little place called Bayville, the summer has set in. Jubilation and celebration among the young set forth. It doesn't matter whether they are mutants or not, they all partake in the peace and bliss that the summer sun brings to them. The X-men are no exception. They partake in the bliss of summer going swimming, going fishing, and hanging out with good friends.
"Come on guys! Let's get us some lunch, I'm starving!" exclaimed Jack as he got out of the pool.
"Now you're talking! Let's eat!" said Kurt as he followed Jack inside.
Scott, Jean, Evan, and Kitty joined them as they made their way in to the kitchen for some food. Swimming had made them hungry. As they satisfied their appetites they went in to the living room to watch some TV.
"Aw man!" said Kurt as he turned on the TV. "Every channel is still on the news about that psycho killer."
All was not right in the bliss of summer. There was a dark side. Since the beginning of the month a madman was terrorizing the Northeast.
"There's gotta be something else on," said Kurt.
"Wait.........Let's just watch this, it could be important," suggested Kitty.
"Like we have a choice," stated Scott as they sat down and continued to watch the news of this madman unfold.
They listened to the TV reporter, "As of now there have been 17 victims of the mysterious assailant known only as Morris. Police are baffled at the randomness of his crimes. So far he had tortured 9 men and 8 women. Although none of them were actually killed by the attacker, every one of them is now in a mental institution suffering from severe psychosis. Two have committed suicide. So far the attacks are centered in Eastern New York and stretching as far east as Boston. New York police urge everybody in this area to stay indoors if possible, and stay around others for strength in numbers. The last attacks, which took place near Bayville, are getting more severe in nature every time this man commits another heinous act."
As the X-men watched on, the stayed transfixed by the story. It seemed like a horror movie come to life. The attacker known only as Morris was like a demon from hell.
"You think we should stick together like they say?" inquired Scott.
"I wouldn't worry, this place is a fortress. Even if this guy is superhuman like they say, we can take him," reassured Evan.
Just then the professor came down.
"I don't think you should take it that lightly Evan," stated the Professor. "I've been keeping track of this mystery man all month and it's not a matter to be taken lightly. I have had psychic disturbances related to this man. He is truly mad. I want each one of you to stay with someone else and keep your guard up."
"No prob professor!" said Kurt, "That guy is crusin' for a brusin' if he messes with the X-men."
*********************************
The students had to accept the professor's wishes. Now it was forbidden to go anywhere outside the institute alone. This meant no more solo journeys to the mall for the girls or guys.
The day after the professor's decision Kitty and Rogue made a weekend trip to the mall for a little casual shopping. However, they weren't alone when they got there.
"Hey Kitty wait up!" yelled a familiar voice.
"Aw no, not Lance," moaned Rogue.
"Oh.........Hey Lance," said Kitty dryly.
"Hey, why so glum?" he asked.
"Oh I don't know," said Kitty sarcastically, "Maybe because you ATTACKED us at that military base months ago and since then have refused to make eye contact with any of us, including me!"
"Hey, I didn't have a choice," started Lance, but Kitty didn't let him finish.
"There's always a choice Lance! You just made the wrong one. You've made too many wrong choices because you just don't get it," said Kitty sternly.
Lance was taken aback. There was no denying that he had made the wrong decisions in fighting with Mystique and Magneto. "Just let me try and make it up," justified Lance.
"I've been giving you too many chances. I thought you would eventually make the right one.........Because I really liked you. Now I guess I've learned things will never change with you, because you won't let them change. I thought we really had something special Lance.........But I guess I was wrong" Kitty's harsh words stuck. Then she walked away, Rogue followed suite.
Lance didn't move from where he was. He was outraged, yet saddened at the same time. He felt he had finally blown it with Kitty, the girl he had been chasing since she got here. He could have done things differently so many times, but he didn't. With an angry face he left the mall, got in his jeep, and began the drive back to the brotherhood boarding house. However, he negated to realize that he was being watched.
'Go ahead rocky. Ignore that trembling feeling you feel shivering up your spine. I know your secrets; I know every last secret of all my victims. I know where they're from and where they're going. I know who they are and in your case, what they are. Anybody with power is always easily defeated. This walking Richter scale will fall before his own weakness, which happens to be every human's weakness. Fear...And pain.'
***********************************
Lance drove down the open roads of upstate New York in a daze. It was sill a mixture of anger and sadness. He was too lost in his thoughts to realize he wasn't alone in his jeep. He briefly looked in his rear view mirror, for he thought he saw something. But it turned out to be nothing.........Or so he thought. His unannounced passenger then took out a mysterious, taser-like device and jammed in the back of his neck.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH," yelled Lance helplessly as his Jeep swerved off the road. Soon it tipped over on its side and he fell out. However he was still screaming in pain. He lay helplessly on the ground in agony. He couldn't concentrate or use his powers to save himself. All that was there was pure pain. It was unlike any pain he had ever felt, it was far more severe than any memory in his mind.
"Pathetic."
Lance looked up at his mysterious attacker. All of the sudden, it was as if someone had taken every ounce of fear in the world and channeled it directly in to his head. The man wore all black, he wore a large trench coat, and his eyes were blood red. Lance tried to speak as the man got closer and looked deeper in to his eyes. The deeper he looked, the more fear he felt.
"Wh..........Who..........Who are you?" was all Lance managed to get out. Soon he became paralyzed by the fear in his head and the pain in his body.
"You think I'm gonna kill you Mr. Rock headed bastard?" smirked the attacker, "Don't you watch the news kid? I am Morris. And when I get through with you, you'll beg me to kill your sorry ass!"
He then took out a knife and his taser weapon. He lunged towards the immobile Lance and began to ruthlessly cut in to his body. His blood flowed profusely while the madman simultaneously shocked him over and over again with his tasers. Lance could only scream.........Scream at the top of his lungs. He yelled out in pain and fear as Morris attacked him. The scariest thing was, Morris was smiling throughout the whole attack.
***************************
As Kitty and Rogue drove down the road back towards the mansion Kitty was still silent after the incident with Lance. Rogue noticed she was still angry with him.
"Ya all right over there Kitty?" asked Rogue.
Kitty didn't respond.
"Look, I know ya liked Lance a lot. And I think he liked ya back, but I know ya made the right choice," reassured Rogue.
Kitty's expression changed slightly.
"You think so?" asked Kitty.
"Of coarse. Ya deserve better than that guy. He really was never there for ya. Hell when he was there he was on the wrong side anyhow," said Rogue.
Kitty chuckled a bit. It did help her feel better. The mood seemed to lighten up after that moment. They drove along the road until they were met with a ghastly sight.
"Oh my God that's Lance's jeep!" exclaimed Kitty as she pulled over to investigate. Rogue jumped out with her and found Lance.
"Lance! Lance, it's Kitty!" she shouted.
She turned him over and faced him. Both girls promptly gasped as they saw him. His face.........Was blank. His eyes were open, but they were trembling. His body was covered in cuts, slashes, and bruises. He looked paralyzed. Indeed he was, he was paralyzed with fear, suffering with pain. The two girls saw that he was alive, but he looked worse than death itself.
"We.........We better get him back to the institute," said Kitty finally.
They promptly picked him up and put him in the back seat and they sped off towards the institute. They tried not to listen when he softly wailed out in gasps of pain and suffering.
'Professor.........Professor can you hear me!' Kitty and Rogue frantically yelled in their thoughts, hoping that the professor would hear. Finally they got an answer.
'Kitty, Rogue are you two okay!?' yelled the professor's thoughts in their minds.
'Yeah, but Lance was attacked. We think it was that Morris guy. You've gotta help him he's getting hysterical.' Kitty's subconscious was getting frantic.
'Okay, just bring him in. We'll help him as best we can.'
Rogue then put the petal to the medal and began to speed towards the institute. Having only had her license for a short time it was a bumpy ride, but the made it back in one piece.
*********************************
The X-men and the Brotherhood stood as Lance underwent treatment. Both sides were shocked at the brutality of the attack. It had left Lance permanently scared externally and internally. He was getting more unstable by the moment. He would scream out in pain and tremble in fear. Jack watched the professor and Hank try in vain to get him to calm down. They couldn't sedate him, or calm him. Jack knew there was more to this than meets the eye.
"Well, we can't seem to sedate him. We've given him the maximum dosages of the strongest sedatives we can find but they're not working," said Professor Xavier.
"Well, what's wrong with him?!" yelled the Blob.
"Yeah! Nobody messes with the hood man! No matter how psycho he is," exclaimed the Toad.
"I'm sorry about your friend," stated the professor, "I truly am, but there's nothing we can do at this moment. Whoever attacked your friend really showed no mercy."
"Well I guess mutant powers aren't enough to stop him like we thought," said Scott.
"There might be more to it than that," stated Jack.
"What do ya mean?" asked Rogue.
Jack then silently walked up to Lance and put his hand over his head. He then closed his eyes and began to concentrate. The others watched as the symbol of the triforce began to glow brightly.
"This is definitely not good," Jack sternly stated.
"No kiddin' genius," replied Toad, "Tell us something we don't know."
"If you really want to know, so be it. I don't think we're dealing with an ordinary psychopath my friends. We are definitely dealing with something far darker than we ever imagined," said Jack in an ominous tone.
"Wait.........What do you mean darker?" asked Pietro.
"This guy is packing magic.........Dark magic. And a lot of it I might add. That's why the professor can't help your friend. You see.........Magic must fight magic," stated Jack.
"Well than use that magic shit you pull on us and help him!" shouted the Blob.
"Fred calm down, you're not helping the situation," said Storm.
"Lady I can't be calm! I'm too angry to........."
"Look friend, I can help your friend along with the rest of the victims. I just need time in order to concoct a spell," said Jack.
"Until then we must now, more than ever stay in groups. Lance was on his own so we can't make the same mistake. Everybody has to stick together now," said the professor.
The Blob, frustrated and angry, yelled "You know what? I've got a better idea! Why don't we all go out, search, and pound this mother fucker in to a pulp!"
"I'm with Blob man, we got to hunt him, not the other way around!" agreed Toad.
"That would be a bad move guys," said Jack.
"What do ya mean?!" yelled Toad.
"Do you know Latin?" asked Jack. Confused, Toad and the rest of the brotherhood shook their heads. "Morris means 'you die' in Latin. Because he chose that name for a reason you must think of him as crazy, but not stupid. This guy shows that he has more than enough dark energy to take us down unless we play it smart, because if we don't he will. Take a good look at your friend. Muscle and power means shit in this situation. We have to fight him with our chi, not our powers."
Jack was getting annoyed at the brotherhood's outbursts. That last little speech seemed to shut them up. He then walked up to the professor.
"Professor, I strongly advise you call the rest of the recruits here and fill them in on the plan," said Jack.
"Right, that's a good idea. I'll call them."
*****************************************
After a quick announcement the rest of the students met with the professor in the main hall. Then they made a role call to make sure everybody was there.
"Is that everybody, professor?" asked Jack.
"I........."
Scott then suddenly said, "Wait.........Where's Tabitha?"
Quickly everybody look around to see that she was the only one not there.
Jack could only say after that, "Oh no."
Unknown to them, they were being watched. Not through a window or an audio bug, but through evil. It was a magic of evil that can watch victims from the shadows.
"Go ahead.........Stay in groups. If you live in constant fear I win, if you let your guard down and try to live on I win. You can't win against me. You pathetic excuses for mutants.........You are now threats to my fun. You all must be neutralized. And what I mean by neutralized, I mean victimized. You assholes are nothing but bugs. I will make it so each one of you begs for death. And as for your missing Tabitha, I'm afraid you're already too late."
