The end is finally here. Sentinels cover the earth, hunting down mutants at sight; capturing or killing every mutant they find including Professor Charles Xavier.
Inspired in The Days of Future Past storyline
Chapter 1: The death of a dream
The things have been tense the last months. The TV was always on. He heard the news over and over again hoping to hear something new. But there wasn't anything new. Everyone had been talking about the same issue over the last months: the assassination of Senator Robert Kelly by mutant hands.
"You're still watching that?" Professor Xavier asked the man sitting on the couch.
"Ya' know ol' Remy can't get enough news." Gambit said sarcastically and turned to face the Professor.
"Don't worry she'll turn out soon."
"'S long 's she doesn't come ou' in one of those stupid news."
People have been attacking innocent mutants on the streets; throwing stones and some even shooting at them. Anti mutant riots were more and more violent each day. And it was all over the news.
" An' Cerebro?" The Cajun asked.
"I still haven't been lucky. It's as if she was covering her psychic waves."
"Or maybe-"
Gambit stopped as the news reporter had just said two names he and Xavier recognized.
"John and Elaine Grey were killed this morning by an anti-mutant group. John and Elaine Grey are the parents of the known mutant rights activist Dr. Jean Grey." The reporter went on and on about how a riot outside the Grey's house went out of control and ended up in a tragedy.
Someone on the back dropped a plate. It shattered the moment it touched the ground. Remy and Xavier turned around to find Jean, petrified with horror, next to her husband Scott.
She stood still as tears began rolling down her cheeks. After a few seconds she finally moved. She turned to face Scott.
"Rachel was with them!"
Scott's face turned white. "We've got to go!"
Just as Cyclops finished his sentence the lights went out and were replaced by several red beacons. A computerized voice echoed through the whole mansion. "Code red, evacuate the building, code red."
"What th'-" The Cajun was interrupted by a sudden explosion.
The wall besides them fell to pieces. At the other side they could see the legs of a 20 feet Sentinel.
Remy stood up. "This can't be good."
The X-Men hold their position waiting to attack. They heard a few metal slashes and a man screaming in anger. After, the Sentinel's headless body fell on the roof, destroying it. Wolverine landed next to his teammates.
"They have th'whole mansion surrounded."
"We need to get the children out of here." The Professor stated.
Scott made eye contact with the Xavier "I´m on it." He said and ran towards the dormitories.
"Jean, you need to go find Rachel."
"I'm not leaving you here Professor."
"Don't worry about it red, me and French sissy here have it cover."
Jean nodded and followed her husband.
Two Sentinels more approached them. Gambit threw a card at one of them it hit it right in the shoulder. Its whole arm fell off. Logan jumped on to the other Sentinel and started slashing its head. Remy threw 2 more cards at the armless Sentinel. The cards exploded knocking it down. He then threw 3 cards at the Sentinel which Wolverine was attacking. It was also knocked down. Wolverine had to jump off it before it fell. Once the Sentinel touched the ground it exploded.
"Th'hell is your problem!" Logan said facing the Cajun.
"Who's th'sissy now? Don't worry, I had a hunch th'explosion wouldn't hit you."
The two X-Men and the Professor came out to the gardens just to find them filled with mutant hunting machines.
"I thought th'stupid Sentinel program had been shut down."
"Well, it looks like ya were wrong Bud."
At the other side of the mansion were Colossus and Storm fighting off the machines. Alex Summers was on his knees right next to Kitty Pryde who was lying on the floor. A bunch of Sentinels took Colossus down. Six other Sentinels shot energy beans at Storm. She moved fast but couldn't evade them all and finally got hit.
Gambit threw a charged card at one of the Sentinels. It hit the Sentinel on the head making it explode. Wolverine was running through the estate cutting every machine on his path. Gambit kept throwing cards and knifes at the gigantic metal monsters, until one of the Sentinels shot a bean at him. Remy got hit on the back. He fell to the ground and the Sentinels gather around him. Before they could end him Remy began charging the earth underneath him. The whole ground turn purple and exploded.
Most Sentinels lost their legs on the explosion. Xavier fell from his chair. Logan was sent flying and landed 15 feet away from the professor. Most of the Sentinels were down; destroyed.
As Remy and Logan recover from the explosion 60 more Sentinels fell from the sky. With a single hit they defeated Gambit and with two more Wolverine was brought to his knees.
The fallen X-Men saw how one of the Sentinels walked towards the Professor. From its eyes it shot a plasma bean directly at Xavier. The bean hit him right in the chest. It burn through his flesh, bones and organs. The machine walked away leaving behind the lifeless body of Professor Charles Xavier.
