X-Men: Evolution

Magnus Rex

Veni, Vidi, Vici, as they say. I came, I saw, I conquered. It all seems so hollow now. The world is mine, so why am I so...unhappy?

Three Months Earlier:

In the private chambers of Magneto....

"...That is the plan." said the voice from the shadows, stepping out and revealing himself to be Magneto. "So, it appears that I am ready for my great Ascension. And no one can stop me! At last, it will all be mine!" He laughed, a triumphant, evil laugh, and put on his helmet.

"Maybe, but I see ruin in your grand Empire. Both for you and your subordinates. I fear your rule will be a dark time for all, yourself included." the woman with the crystal intoned.

"Come now, Destiny. You know that I am capable of perseverance through even the darkest times. I will not be pushed back by some vision of ruin, not when I am this close to the completion of my plan!" He then turned and walked out of his chambers, ready to reveal his grand plan to his Acolytes.

"Be warned, Erik Magnus. The world has far crueler punishments than you could ever dream...."

The Present:

I should have listened to Destiny. The very Darkness she foretold now threatens to devour my very soul. I am even now sinking deeper and deeper into ruin, exactly as she said I would. I have no meand of escape. I have even begun to contemplate suicide. It would be a fitting end, to die by my own hand. I, who have lived by my own hand all these many years. I, who no man nor mutant has been able to best in combat. I, who cannot even hold together my own sanity, let alone a great Empire slipping into darkness....
