All characters belong to their respected owners and etc. etc. At the end of this story, I have included a couple of tidbits about the future of this series, so feel free to check them out after you read this chapter (WARNING: There are a few spoilers!!!). So without further ado, I present:
X-MEN: THE MOVIE SEQUEL
CHAPTER 3: Fires of the Past
Wolverine struggled for air. He was choking within the grasp of his enemy Sabertooth, who had happened to catch him unaware four stories above the ground, on a creaky catwalk, in the middle of rural Canada. Life sucked.
"Miss me?" Sabertooth asked mockingly before turning his head skyward and roaring to the heavens.
For Christ's Sake!!! Doesn't this guy ever stop??? FINE!!! Wolverine had wanted a fight, and DAMNIT he was gonna get one!!! Wolverine smiled.
SNIKT!!!
Sabertooth winced in pain as three, razor sharp, adamantium claws sprang from Wolverines fist/knuckles and embedded in his lower right side. He dropped Wolverine instantly.
While Sabertooth clutched his wound and roared in anger, Wolverine dropped to the catwalk and rolled back, out of harms way, into a crouched fighting stance, his six claws no longer concealed in his forearm, but instead bared ready to attack.
"I've got a bone to pick with you bub..." Wolverine sneered. His voice was colder than the wind that was now wipping around him and Sabertooth.
Wolverine watched as Sabertooth got to his feet and roared at him in anger. At the same time, Sabertooth raised his arm that had been holding his wound. Wolverine stared perplexed, his jaw almost touching the ground: SABERTOOTH'S WOUND WAS GONE!!! Did he have some sort of healing ability too???
"The hell..." Wolverine whispered.
Sabertooth got out of his fighting stance and began walking slowly toward Wolverine. He had snow covering his brown trenchcoat, and even though he had dropped his fighting stance, his sharpened teeth were still bared menacingly. He spoke.
"You've got some guts, little man. It's a shame they're gonna be all over this catwalk in a minute."
Wolverine just snarled and tensed his body to attack.
Sabertooth spoke again. "Ah ah ah," He said waving his index finger in the air like a mother berating a child. "That's not the way to get what you're looking for!" Sabertooth reached in his trenchcoat and pulled out a stack of papers before speaking again. "Aren't you curious about how you got those oversize toothpicks???" He said, indicating Wolverines claws.
Wolverine's body tensed even more. "You hand me those papers pal...nice and slow like...and maybe I won't turn you into a kite." He said in a low snarling voice.
Sabertooth was no more than five feet away from him now. Sabertooth spoke again.
"You know what midget...you'an me have a past together...I'm surprised you don't remember it." He said. "Oh well," Sabertooth reached back into his trechcoat and brought out a device that reminded Wolverine of a phone, before speaking again: "That's behind us now."
"WHAT'RE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!" Wolverine screamed.
Sabertooth threw back his head and roared with laughter. "HA HA..DON'T TELL ME YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS???" Sabertooth said pointing the device in Wolverines direction. Wolverine noticed that the device had one flip switch, and a flashing green light.
"Uh oh." Wolverine was suddenly fully aware of the device Sabertooth was holding: A detonator.
"That's right," Sabertooth said, his laughter now gone, "It's a detonator. I took the liberty of placing a couple of bombs in that building behind me...and behind you. Once I press this button, It's all over."
"HOW IN THE HELL DID YOU EVEN KNOW WHERE I WAS???" Shouted Wolverine.
"SHUT UP YA PIPSQUEK!!!" Sabertooth roared. "Do ya remember when that ole geezer Xavier was knocked unconscious by ceb..cer...cbedb.. AH HELL!!! That shiny thing he puts over his head."
"Cerebero?" Wolverine asked.
"YEAH, THAT'S IT!!!" Sabertooth said before continuing, " Anyways, I'm sure you realized the cause of his unconsciousness was due to sabatoge of that thing. It was my pal Mystique that sabatoged it..."
Wolverine remembered Mystique very clearly. That blue bitch had caused a lot of trouble when the X-Men were trying to rescue Rouge. Wolverine had pretty much killed her...or so it had seemed. After the whole thing was over, the other X-Men had told him that Mystique was alive. She had impersonated Senator Kelly on National television. He turned his attention back to Sabertooth.
"... but that wasn't her only mission." Sabertooth said. "She also planted hearing bugs throughout the whole mansion. We know everything that's going on in yer house, every minute of da day!!!" Sabertooth stated proudly.
"We... what do you mean we???" Wolverine asked.
"Me and my pals!!! We were all getting kinda bored without the boss around, so we...payed em a visit..." Sabertooth spoke.
"YOU DON'T MEAN???" Wolverine screamed, but Sabertooth was no longer listening, he had a far off look in his face, and seemed to be staring straight through Wolverine. When he spoke, his voice was unusually soft and far away. Totally unbefitting a murderer.
"The fires of the past burn in all of us..." Sabertooth said. Wolverine knew he was about to do something drastic, and he was right: Sabertooth pressed the detonator and immediately, the frozen hell was replaced by a burning one. The building behind Sabertooth exploded in a series of small tiny explosions. Wolverine could hear a few going off inside of it as well. That building was on fire, but Wolverine still might be able to salvage some information from inside of it. Suddenly, The building behind Wolverine shuddered and was also racked by tiny explosions, inside and out. But, like the other building, it was still intact...sorta.
"NOW YOU'RE FINISHED!!!" Sabertooth screamed. "Those were just tremors compared to what's coming up!!! In five minutes, the real fireworks will start and this building, as well as your past, will be gone FOREVER!!!" At that, Sabertooth lept at Wolverine. The fight had started.
Wolverine ducked and rolled beneath the flying behemoth and when he came up, he was behind him. Without bothering to think about it, Wolverine spun around with his left arm, as well as his claws, outstretched. It was a good move, but his claws hit nothing but air because Sabertooth ducked beneath it and stuck out his left leg, spinning it around and trying to sweep Wolverines feet out from beneath him. Like Wolverines claw swipe, this also missed because wolverine jumped the leg. But when the leg had passed Wolverine, Sabertooth lept to his feet and roared in his face. Throughout all of this, the catwalk was shaking.
Four minutes left.
Taking the roar as his cue to shut sabertooth up, Wolverine launced a punch with his right hand, claws extended, at Sabertooths head that Sabertooth was able to go under and spin around behind Wolverine. Sabertooth swung out with his right hand and tried to dig a claw into his opponents spine. Unfortunately for him, Wolverine was spinning around at that exact moment and all Sabertooth was able to do was rip three jagged strips of cloth from the back of Wolverines uniform. Wolverine, of course, was not too pleased with this and launched a right hook at Sabertooths head. Sabertooth grabbed Wolverines wrist midswing with his left hand, and uses his right claw to slash at Wolverines chest. Blood flew from three cuts on Wolverines upper chest, already beginning to heal (A bit slower than usual because he was still recovering from Rouges nearly fatal touch from the end of the X-Men movie). Undaunted, Wolverine launcehs a left hook to Sabertooths forehead. Sabertooth grabs Wolverines lef wrist and does the exact same thing as last time, except he couldn't slash this time because both of his hand were "occupied." Wolverine takes this opportunity to launc a head but at Sabertooth's head. It connects and Sabertooth lets go of Wolverines hands. Big mistake. The catwalk is really shaking by now.
Two minutes left.
Sabertooth didn't have time to blink after the head but because Wolverine flew at him with his claws. Right swing: Sabertooth ducks. Left swing: Sabertooth jumps back. When Sabertooth lands, He raises his arms above his head and clasps his hands together in order to deliver a crushing blow to Wolverine who appeared to be off balance. Sabertooth brought his arms down, only to have them blocked by Wolverines upper left arm. Sabertooth was startled by this change in events. He was even more startled when Wolverine threw out his right arm, impaling his claws THROUGH Sabertooth. He felt them come out his BACK for heavons sake!!! Neither of the opponents noticed that one (of four) supports had broken off from underneath the catwalk.
Sixty seconds.
Sabertooth looked down at the wound. Both of the mutants were breathing heavily. Blood ran down Sabertooth stomach. It was fatal. That was, of course, if he didn't have a healing factor. Healing factor or not that damn thing really did HURT!!! he looked up at Wolverines face (Which had a look of hatred on it).
"Maybe I should be more careful?" Wolverine asked. "I might hurt those papers that you have!"
Wolverine pulled his claws out of Sabertooths stomach so fast that when they came out, Sabertooth did a small flip (involuntarily of course) and landed on his back, staring up at Wolverine. Wolverine knew they didn't have more than a few seconds. He reached down to check Sabertooths coat for he papers. After sticking his hand in the pocket of Sabertooths trenchcoat, he came out with the goods: THE PAPERS!!! Suddenly, Sabertooths right hand reached out, ever so fast, and latched on to Wolverines collar, pulling his face down to his level.
"Times up pretty boy!!!" Sabertooth sneered, using his free hand to snatch the papers from Wolverine, while using his other hand to Throw Wolverine off the catwalk!!! The snow and wind had SERIOUSLY picked up now. Without a second thought, Sabertooth dove off the side of the catwalk, to the ground far below. Then, in mid fall, Sabertooth saw the sky light up and his ears were bombarded with noise as both the plant and the office exploded.
Wolverine was hanging on for dear life. He cursed himself for letting his guard down. HE HAD THE PAPERS IN HIS DAMN HAND!!! Luckily, on the way down, He had reached his hand out and snagged onto the bottom of the catwalk with his claws. Right now, the only that was stopping him from falling four stories were his three claws embedded in the catwalk. He was just thinking about a Sabertooth rug when a blur that was obviously his enemy flew over the railing on the catwalk and disapered in the darkness below. He was swinging in the wind like a flag while his nemesis was getting off with his past.
"This is bad..." He grunted.
Suddenly, the plant AND the office exploded in a ball of flame. There was no way he would EVER get any information about his past here now. That was when the catwalk gave way and he fell down ward into oblivion.
(A couple of minutes later)
He had no recollection of hitting the ground. All Wolverine could remember was Sabertooth. Wolverine picked himself up from the snow and looked behind him. The whole Canadian facility was gone: Destroyed by smoke, fire, and brimstone. He looked to his right and saw the catwalk, on fire and buried halfway into the snow. It would have broken every bone in his body if it had landed on him. He wiped the snow off his uniform and looked down to his feet. The snow had traces of blood. He looked down at his wounds on his chest. They were still bledding. That was bad. He took one last look at the burning facility. He was again without a past. Life never gave him any leeway. He started toward his/Cyclops's bike, defeated and miserable.
Wolverine was halfway to his bike when he fell into the snow. "Damn potholes!!!" upon closer inspection, he realized they were footprints. BIG footprints. He got back to his feet and followed them with his eyes. He began to walk, slowly following them. He was five feet away from his bike when he picked up Sabertooths scent again. Just then, The forest behind the bike exploded, and a purple jeep shot out from the woods, fistailed, and shot down the path away from the canadian facility, headed towards the highway. It was then that all of the anger Wolverine had pent up in him exploded outward. He walked briskly to the bike, hopped on and turned the ignition, but he had forgot about the defense mechanism. The volts of electricity shot up his arms, but instead of falling off the bike, he impaled the control panel with his claws and ripped out the circuits. He swung the bike around and shot after Sabertooth.
"Never did like that damn thing anyway."
(Main Highway)
THIS WAS PERFECT!!! Thought Matt. I'M GONNA MEET KATIE AND TAKE HER TO A MOVIE!!! Matt was a senior in highschool and he had finally got a date with Katie, the most popular girl in his school!!! He was driving down a dark winding Canadian Highway on his way to pick up her up right now. As a matter of fact, he was the only car on the road. He turned on the radio:
"--In other news, today the Mutant know as "Magneto" has escaped from--"
He turned off the radio. Mutants!!! Who cared about mutants??? He turned his thoughts back to his date. I wonder if she--
Just then, a purple jeep flew out of the woods to his right, swerved, and nearly crashed into Matts "Eclipse." He was lucky enough to run off the side of the road and stop. He was trying to catch his breath when he heard a roar come from the jeep. Matt got out of the car and walked into the middle of the road. "ASSHOLE!!!" He shouted, well aware that the jeep was out of hearing range. He turned to look at the forest where the jeep had come from. Hey is that smoke??? He was just about to turn around when he heard an engine. A Motorcycle??? "Uh oh." Matt dove out of the way as a black and blue motorcycle with a weirdly dressed rider on top of it, jumped from the forest, took a sharp turn, and shot after the jeep. Matt just stood there with his jaw touching the ground. So much for his date...
( A mile down the road)
Damn kid. Wolverine thought. Oh well. Wolverine turned his attention to the purple jeep in front of him. It was trying to pull away. Wolverine had destroyed the turbo button on the bike when he destroyed the contol panel so he would have to chase Sabertooth the old fashion way. Wolverine popped a wheele (sp?) And shot after Sabertooth. The road they were on was very twisty and dangerous thanks to the snowstorm. Both Wolverine and Sabertooth went off the road several times. Then, finally, Wolverine pulled up beside Sabertooths jeep.
"Please do what I think you're gonna do..." Wolverine said to know one in particular.
Sabertooth swerved the jeep towards Wolverine motorcycle, as Wolverine had expected. A milisecond before the vehicles would colide, Wolverine dived at the purple jeep. He heard the jeep colide with the bike but didn't look backward for fear he might miss Sabertooth's jeep, but instead of landing on the jeep Wolverine flew over it!!! Sabertooth looked up at Wolverines form flying above. Wolverine thrust his arm down and his claws grabbed metal. Wolverine used his momentum to swing around and land on the hood of the jeep. Without slowing sown, Wolverine drove his arm threw the window and made Sabertooth lose control of the jeep. Wolverine rolled of the hood and landed on the snowy road. HARD. He turned his head to look at the jeep. It rolled over on it's side and skidded a few feet before hitting a stone and finally rolling over and over, off the road, and crashed into the tress next to the road. Wolverine got to his feet and began walking over to the crashed jeep. He was right next to it when it EXPLODED and knocked Wolverine off his feet and blew him back a few feet. He got up and looke in the jeeps broken windows. It was empty. He was back to square one. He turned and walked back down the road to reclaim his bike. He was about to turn the corner when he sniffed the air.
Sabertooth.
Wolverine turned around and surveyed the area. He was about to keep heading towards his bike when he heard Sabertooths voice. He couldn't pin it's location because the wind picked it up and obscured it a little, however the message was unmistakeable:
"HEY LOGAN!!! I THINK YOU BETTER GET BACK TO THAT MANSION!!! WHEN WE BROKE OUT THE BOSS, HE REALLY WANTED TO GO...SEE...YOUR FRIENDS!!! HE WASN'T TOO HAPPY WITH THEIR BEHAVIOR AT THE STATUE OF LIBERTY!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!"
Wolverines blood ran cold. He even forgot about Sabertooth. Then he remembered Rouge and Jean were at the mansion. When he remembered that, He forgot everything. He turned and sprinted down the road to his bike. He picked it up, but didn't bother to see if it was damaged, and climbed on. As Wolverine kicked the ignition on, he heard Sabertooth's wild roar from aomewhere behind him. He didn't have time to worry about Sabertooth right now. If that overgrown cat was lying, he's kill em. If he wasn't lying, well, He'd kill all of em (Sabertooth AND his friends). With that one thought on his mind, Wolverine gunned the engine and shot down the road back to America. Back to home. If it was still there when he got back...
....TO BE CONTINUED....
Authors 1st Q&A's
HI!!! So, What do you guys think of Ch.3??? Good??? Bad??? Rate and give me your thoughts. If you also have any questions, Post them as well and I will try to answer them in a future question & answer section, as I am doing now. With that said, let's answer some questions:
1.) Will I EVER talk about someone other than Wolverine and Sabertooth??? Read my next chapter, and every one after that. I simply felt that Wolvie and Sabertooth would be a good way to start off the series.
2.) Will I include characters other than the ones in the movie??? Well, that depends. I'm not an expert on a lot of these "New generation" X-men (Who in the hell is cannonball???) Anyways, I will say this: In this story I will include TWO NEW TEAM MEMBERS. I already know who they will be, but I want their identity to be a surprise (If you MUST KNOW who they are, Email me and I might give you a couple of hints.)
3.) Who are the Enemys going to be??? The same as in the movie, and "maybe" a guest appearance by someone like Juggernaut.
Well, that's all for my 1st Q&A!!! I hope to see you all in Ch.4 (that is if you want a Ch.4)!!!
