[Amid a Field of Crimson Flowers]
[X-men: Evolution fanfiction by Kirikou]
[Chapter summary]
[10/16/03 - 11/2/03]
1[outbreak] - Sudden and un-timed forays of mutants towards the government catch the eyes of the X-men as thousands of children and adults alike are slaughtered as they march against a growing power. The president rests with a shocking statement. He refuses to believe the existence or death of these thousands of protestors. Yet, the attacks and slaughterhouse continues.
2[alighting] - Jean hears word of a mutant rebellion group surfacing in the streets of New York. They call themselves the Exodus. The departure from tyranny. A video is sent to the institution from this group full of their disturbing events. They are taking normal humans, torturing them to "get back at the government" to prove that mutants will never stand down, of their existence. Hundreds go missing, alarming the people. The X-men decide that it is time to take action against this rebellion before it gets out of hand.
3[providence of death] - A group of a thousand human protestors gather outside of the White House. Scott goes to investigate the seemingly peaceful gathering, finding his brother there as well. The president starts his speech, and all hell breaks loose in the confides. Exodus attacks the crowd relentlessly, getting Scott involved in trying to stop them. The National Guard comes to aid, killing thousands in cold blood, human and mutant alike. Storm and Wolverine arrive on the scene to find Scott's brother dead at his feet, and as the crowd regresses and Scott is forced away, they realize that this will only end in tragedy for both parties.
4[jeopardy] - Mission infiltrate Exodus and dismantle their coalition. Scott is unable to fight back the wave of regrets he feels over his brother, causing him to make rash outbursts. Xavier is skeptical of Scott's use on the field. Kurt is brought into the mission, leaving he and Kitty with the tremendous responsibility of finding Exodus, and joining their group, flowing through the cracks and secrets of the organization without detection. Thousands more people die every day, making each and every hour critical to the time of infiltration.
5[carnage][combined with chapter 6] - Kurt is discovered communicating to the institution, and is immediately taken underground for death. The x-men and shadow cat now must get into the base guarded by what seem now millions of mutants to save their comrade. Meanwhile, a war has broken out above ground between mutants and the town. Police slaughter anyone they can, while mutants pour out from the sewers from all races. Town after town has been annihilated this way, and now one more will be. The army has moved in, running underground. Storm is caught in the mayhem, shot in the arm by a police officer. A simple mission turns into a bloodbath as the x-men fight for their lives among the carnage. Meanwhile, the army has planted a bomb below ground.
6[the wings of angels] - Amid the rocking underground fortress, the x-men have saved Kurt, and find the bomb, which is ticking away with only minutes left. They try to warn the leader of the organization, but he refuses to let from this war until someone dies. A finale to last a lifetime erupts in the city, leaving the entire city in ruins with no survivors, and the x-men to look on at lost friends.
7[epilogue] - The president calls this encounter a 'memoir for history', making a memorial for all lives lost, including those of mutants that could be identified. Scientists will further study these creatures. Scott is left to stand at his brother's grave in reverence to a best friend, walking away in the storm, the flowers flowing wildly over his name, eventually blowing away as a bolt of lightening hits the ground.
