A man kneeled before some sort of monster. The boy had brown hair with streaks of white layered in. They were both in what appeared to be the remains of a room.
"Well, it looks like you let your father down." The monster said. "You through your life away when you betrayed him."
"I never betrayed my father. I betrayed Sinister." The boy replied. He looked up and a golden glow appeared in his left eye.
"It doesn't matter. You're dead any way." In saying this, he raised his left arm, which seemed to be a cannon. The boy looked down, and a single memory flashed through his mind.
He was sitting on a piece of rubble in what seemed to be a run down basement. Across from him sat a man with many metallic limbs.
"Are you ready for your story."
"Yes."
"Good, because today's story is of how Apocalypse got power. I heard this story from Magneto himself when he and the X-Men stopped by." The man took a short breath before continuing. "Many years ago, a boy named Legion appeared. He began looking for Magneto, and when he found him, he attempted o kill him, but before Legion could land the fatal strike, Charles Xavier, the greatest mind to ever live, got in the way, and was killed. I wish that you could have met Charles. He could have probably helped you with your powers. After Charles died, the energy released woke Apocalypse, and he took over an unsuspecting world."
"Forge, you can't tell stories."
"I know, but I wanted to give you something after this story." Forge reached into his pocket and took out something small wrapped in a brown cloth.
"What is it?" The boy asked.
"It is the M'Kraan Crystal, the Key to restoring the world."
Back in the present, the boy felt something in the palm of his hand. In a moment, he realized it was the fragment of the M'Kraan He had been given. As the monster fired his weapon, the boy seemed to disintegrate. He appeared behind the monster, and thrust his hand forward, striking the monster in the back. A blinding flash covered verything in sight, and as it cleared, neither the boy or the monster could be seen.
