'The Elements of Apocalypse'

At the X- mansion

The sound of metal claws being drawn out made a certain Cajun jump.

' Gambit, are you trying to say that Apocalypse has returned?' questioned Professor Charles Xavier.

' Gambit thinks he's said enough' said the man, still eying the sharp 'extension' on Wolverine's hands. He started to leave when he heard an angry voice yell after him.

'Oh and Cajun, stay away from Rouge. Or you'll have to answer to me' growled Logan.

'Relax mon ami!'

' Stay away Caj…

'Gambit' Logan's words were interrupted by Professor Xavier ' It may be best if Rogue was left alone for a while'.

But the mutant known as Remy LeBeau was already gone.

Wolverine growled and thrust his hand into a very expensive looking machine.

At the Brotherhood House

Lance Alvers sat on a grubby sofa as he contemplated why the hell he was there. It was just another day in the B'hood house: Toad was confessing undying love to Wanda, Wanda was throwing hex bolts at Toad while eying Pyro, Pyro was playing with his favourite black lighter and laughing like a maniac ever so often, Gambit was playing cards with Fred, Who by now had lost all his worldly possessions in the game and Pietro was throwing darts at a rate of 100 per second at a large group picture of the X-men.

After 'Mag-not-so-neato' had left the brotherhood, they had remained unemployed, unbeaten ( quite some miracle ) and unbelievably bored. Lance's only perk in a day filled with boredom was seeing his current girlfriend, Kitty Pryde. Thank God that they had a date tonight.

'Wanda, sweetums, please tell me what I have to do to win your love!'

ZAP!!!

'ouch' said a mildly roasted toad

The redhead known as Pyro loved this ' Good on you Sheila !' MWHA Ha Ha Ha!! He muttered as the flame in his lighter transformed into a mildly familiar girl.

Suddenly Pyro noticed a flaming Joker card at his feet ' Oh Crap' he managed to say before the card exploded.

Wanda glared at Gambit and went to help to 'extinguish' the now flaming Pyro.

At the X-men debriefing room

'you're like kidding right?' said the mutant known as Shadowcat.

'I wish I was Kitty' said the professor glancing at his students 'but I'm afraid that it's definite, Apocalypse has returned.'

'Do we have any idea vat he is planning next?' said Kurt.

'Luckily we do,' replied Hank McCoy, more commonly referred to as beast. 'when I was in the chamber of the eye of ages I did scan some of the writing on the walls.'

'Well get on with it Bub' scowled Logan

' I can roughly translate the writing' began Beast.

'And what does it say?' asked Scott, tightly gripping Jean's hand.

'It reads that Apocalypse will fall on his first attempt but will look to the elements of Earth and…'

'What?' asked Ewen.

'Will destroy those who get in his way.'

The room was silent but then Kitty spoke up ' what does it like, mean Beast'.

It means my X-men that Apocalypse will turn to four mutants with the power to control the elements The professor spoke to each of them telepathically.

'But who are they?' questioned the mutant known as Rouge.

'That my X-men is a question I cannot answer until Apocalypse begins to influence their powers.'

'Influence?' Rogue repeated.

'He will Enhance their powers, Kitty and Rogue you will go to warn the Brotherhood of this.'

Scott scowled and said 'Why? They won't help us. They're just as Kitty said they re, a bunch of Hoods.'

Kitty turned around and screamed at him 'Like, what's your deal? Lance and his bunch of 'hood' friends saved my life!'

'Again with Alvers, when will you realise he's untrustworthy and …'

'That will be quite enough Scott, Kitty and Rogue warn the Brotherhood as instructed. We can only hope that Apocalypse will strike soon and that he does not succeed in controlling the Elements'.
