Chapter Three No Rest For The Wicked:

The Realm of the Rest:

Cyclops said calmly "What is the Realm of Rest Clarence?"

Clarence said eagerly "Think of it as a resting room for inter-dimensional travellers?"

Cyclops said annoyed "How come I don't remember travelling here?"

The Watcher pulled out a small silver gun and said softly "This is a Retcon Gun, a device that we Watchers use both offensively and defensively. As we take folks to other worlds either to rehabilitate hardened criminals leaving them with no memory or taking people to worlds to discuss things without warping their minds,"

Cyclops said angrily "How come Clarence you did not use the fucking gun on Apocalypse?"

The Watcher replied sternly "the gun and the armour that Apocalypse wears is made from the harvested remnants of Celestial technology, and if we fired it at Apocalypse the power augmentation he receives would increase infinitely!"

Cyclops said quietly "Should we really be getting back to Earth?"

The Watcher said coldly "No we have an advantage that Apocalypse does not have the element of surprise!"

Meanwhile back on earth:
Apocalypse said shocked "He knows our heritage!"

He screamed and then disappeared in flames....

Then back on the Realm of Rest the disembodied head of Apocalypse appeared surrounded by a red flame.

He bellowed "My brother I implore you to listen to reason with me as ruler of the world all the pain and loss you've felt in your life will be gone!"

Cyclops said angrily "You may be my brother by blood but all the terrible things you have done in your name makes me ashamed of you to call you family"!

Apocalypse said darkly "Clarence, tell him the truth my arrival and my plans are necessary,"

Clarence sighed

Clarence said sobbing "It is true Apocalypse I persuaded the Elders of the Universe to bring Apocalypse back to life just to give his restless soul a chance to reconcile with his brother what a fool I was,"

Cyclops said "Your not a fool Clarence, it was a nice for a brief family reunion!"

Apocalypse said grimly "There is not rest for the wicked!"

He fired a red laser from his eyes and both Cyclops and the Watcher where asleep

Apocalypse said coolly "HA, HA, HA!"
