I got this idea in head and couldn't shake it. Also since no one had done it before I knew for a second time what I had to do. I'm going to do Batman Beyond Return the Joker X-men style. It will feature the X-men characters from the films. I have gotten all figured out for their roles.
Magneto=Joker
Mystique=Harley Quinn
Professor X=Batman/Bruce Wayne
Cyclopes/Scott Summers=Robin/Tim Drake
Jean Grey=Batgirl/Barbara Gordon
William Stryker=Jordan Pryce
The Brotherhood=Jokerz
But be warned this is not a complete retelling of the movie. There are some things the Joker does that I highly doubt Magneto would do or say. Plus I am as much a fan of Cherik slashes as much as the next girl so a little of that will be put into the story.
Also I don't know who to cast as Terry McGuiness or Ace.
I have these choices for Terry:
A) Peter Parker
B) Wolverine
C) Rogue, Kitty or any other of Xavier's students
D) Keep Terry as he is but give him a mutant power
Review your choices to me or I'll choose for you. And you don't want that.
Well without further ado here's the Prologue:
Scott had been missing a month now and no one knew where he was. Not even his fiancée Jean could find him. No matter how many times the Professor searched with Cerebro he couldn't find even the slightest trace Scott's mind. Everyone in school feared for the worst. What if an anti-mutant terrorist group had gotten him? Or what if he had been brainwashed by a super villain?
Many of the X-men even Wolverine was desperately looking for anyone who could give them a hint on his whereabouts. Even after interrogating rogue mutants to people in the government who wanted to see mutants oppressed they weren't getting any closer finding Cyclopes. But the X-men refused to quit on him. Although after questioning their 100th suspect they began to wonder if Scott was dead and that there was no point to keep going.
But neither Professor or Jean Grey was willing to give up. Suddenly a month after his disappearance the X-men discovered a member of the Brotherhood, Toad who after a few threats gave them their long awaited information. Scott had been indeed captured by none other than Mystique and was brought before Magneto. But as the X-men quickly left to go to the Brotherhood's hideout they didn't noticed or simply ignored Toad's laughter. OH I told the truth alright but they'll be so disgusted with what they find he thought.
Almost nobody stayed at the school when they heard the news. All the students either went home to their families or followed the older X-men to the Brotherhood's hideout. Even the founder of the school came along. Some of the students were excited to face the Brotherhood for the first time. Others were more cautious. However no one not even the older members knew what would await them there.
As they got off the Blackbird they couldn't help but feel like something was wrong. There were no guards in front of the hideout. The students thought it was simply good luck. However the older mutants knew it was weird. Magneto was not stupid enough to leave his place unprotected. When they got in a few mutants attacked them. However the X-men quickly got rid of them. Although the short, easy fight made them even more suspicious what was going on. It almost as if Magneto wanted them to come.
After that skirmish they went down the dark hallways without resistance. Finally they came to a large metal door. Wolverine quickly pulled it open with his strength. They slowly marched into the room where they found Magneto himself sitting on his throne.
"Magneto, old friend where's Scott?!" the professor said sternly.
"My, my it took you this long to figured it out" Magneto said jokingly.
Mystique came out from under the shadows and joined him at his side.
"Well we were running low on powerful mutants. Every time we tried to recruit one, they always refuse to see the bigger picture. Then I remembered you had plenty kids to spare so we borrowed one" he said chillingly.
"Oh, Cyclopes come here please" he called.
At that moment a door slid open and a familiar face came through.
Scott had changed since anyone last saw him. His suit was torn at his chest, arms and legs. The skin the sticking out showed bruises and scars all over. His short brown hair was matted. There was even blood coming out. His visor was gone and his eyes were closed.
"He need a little bit of reeducation. But eventually he started to see things my way" claimed Magneto.
Then Scott opened his eyes and directed his laser beams right at his former teammates and teacher. Luckily everyone got out of the way just in time.
Wolverine filled with rage jumped at Magneto. But he simply just waved his hand brought Wolverine to the ground. The leader of the Brotherhood quickly walked out leaving everyone to deal with Mystique and a brainwashed Cyclopes. Many of Magneto's mutants came in and started putting up a fight 10 times as harder as the one they had when the X-men came in.
Most stayed and tried to get through to Scott. The Professor attempted to use his telepathy get through to him. But he soon found out that most of his mind was scattered and there was barely anything left of the little boy he once took in. Well I'll just have to get in deeper to reach him the Professor thought.
But before he could Magneto used his powers to pull his wheelchair through the door. Wolverine saw this and went after him.
The minute they both entered the door they were trapped in dark space. The Professor feared for the worst. He had lost Magneto when he was dragged and he couldn't even sense his mind because of the helmet. So he knew his former friend could be anywhere.
"Want to know how I did it, old friend?" said a voice in the dark that the two quickly recognized.
"If you had seen him during his transformation you would been proud to see him so strong. So willing to take whatever came to him to protect you and your school. However soon the serum and the shocks overtook him and he began share all he knew" said Magneto.
"In some ways I pity you. At the end of the day your X-men are just little kids in playsuits crying for their rights and world that will never be".
The Wolverine with his hearing found where the voice coming from and he burst in through the window. He held Magneto by throat ready to punch the lights out.
"I'll break you in two" barked Wolverine.
Magneto simply shook his head before throwing Wolverine back with his powers.
"You never learn do you? And besides if you were capable of that you would have done years ago" he said calmly.
The Professor tried to get up to where Magneto was. He forced his wheelchair to go up the stairs. However when he finally got up he discovered a trap door and fell out of his chair into it. His chair quickly followed him.
He and the chair ended up in separate spots on the ground. He glad to see that most of the Brotherhood was either unconscious or had retreated. His X-men seemed to be okay with no fatally injures. His former shape shifting foster sister lay on ground having been defeated by Jean.
Unfortunately Scott was still conscious and was standing in front of him ready to shoot a laser to end the Professor's life. None of the X-men moved step closer fearing that if they did Scott would kill him.
The Professor sighed and said" Scott, Scott Summers." Then he projected all of his memories of him into his mind.
Scott took awhile to process this and hesitated killing the Professor. Magneto soon walked into the room to see what was going on. That was his fatal mistake.
Cyclopes turned his head away from his teacher and face his tormentor. He opened his eyes and let beam hit its mark.
Magneto was killed instantly. However that didn't ease most of the pain for anyone. Scott let himself drop to the floor sobbing and wanting to cry.
Jean went to him and held him close. "It's okay Scott. It's okay" she said comforting him.
Although the Professor felt some remorse for his fallen friend he mostly worried about what would become of Scott.
They hid Magneto's passing from everyone. Only the X-men and some of the Brotherhood members knew. The Professor found some doctors who were willing to help Cyclopes. It took them a year but they able to nurse him back to sanity. However the Professor forbade him from fighting. No matter tried to show that he deserved 2nd chance the Professor wouldn't budge. Soon he just gave up and settled down with Jean refusing to have any sort of contact with his old mentor.
As for the X-men the Professor swore he never again put one his pupils in harm's way. He kept his school running but he never sent out them on missions. A few of the teachers there like Wolverine and Storm left to find their own paths. They felt that sitting and just teaching wasn't as great as it was when they were out on missions defeating bad guys.
The Brotherhood also lost a lot of power because Magneto's death. There was no other mutant who was as charismatic or a better schemer than their dead leader. They soon became nothing more than a street gang whose greatest achievement was robbing the mall.
It seemed that Cyclopes' and Magneto's ends meant the ends of their groups. At least that what everybody thought. But 10 years later when the Professor was still teaching and Brotherhood was causing mayhem they would out how wrong they were.
