Yin: How was that ending of the last chappy? Did you think I would really end it there? Nah!
To Anonymous- That's cool. We're Oneness. And yes, the whole room-bed issue is sad. We've been meaning to get a bunk bed, but you know how life carries you in other directions. It just hasn't happened yet. Except...Dad is talking about building Yang and I our own 400 square foot house! We're really excited about that one...
Oh, girl, Phil is so alive. I would count on it. Although I heard one rumor that he's gonna turn into Vision...O.o I don't think that will happen. I think he's just alive.
What's your story's title? I'll look it up ^^
Do have a Deviantart? I've posted a contest on there for it. I'm excited at the responses I'm getting! Oh, and thanks!
One more thing...can anybody spot the Loki line in here? You get a free online cookie!
Amanda clanged her Sword against Magik's. She knew she had little experience in the whole-fighting-an-evil-villain-and-saving-the-world, but so much was at stake here. She had to win.
Magik glowered at Amanda. "I should have known. You're nothing like me."
"And proud of it!"
"Argh!" Magik tried to stab Amanda, but she easily dodged out of the way. She was used to doing stuff like this, as every time she visited Kurt, you have to be ready for the unexpected.
"Listen to me!" Amanda tried to reason with herself. "You don't want to do this!"
"I do what I want!" Magik screamed.
Amanda shuddered. That sounded nothing like her.
Bringing her sword down upon Amanda, Magik barely missed, which angered her even more. She was now through with having to fight her younger self. Her Sword powered up, and shot a blast out.
Amanda countered it with her own bolt. The two energy signatures hit each other, blowing Magik and Amanda back.
Right before her head hit the ground, Amanda screamed.
Alex raced for the school, Logan at his heels. Nightcreeper seemed confused, as if he didn't know whether to stop them, or protect Magik. Finally he teleported inside the building, joining his Mistress.
Charles and Jean had already beat them. They were tending to both Amanda's, who were knocked out cold. Nightcreeper growled at Jean, chasing her from Magik. Tenderly he scooped her up, his tail twitching. He gazed up at Charles mournfully, a single tear dripping from his normal eye. He stumbled forward, but fell to his knees. Something was clearly wrong with him.
Carefully setting his wife down, Nightcreeper collapsed, curling up.
"Come on! We have to get them to the infirmary!" Logan instructed.
Alex nodded, clinging to both Soul Swords.
Logan gingerly held the older Ef as he walked out from the X-Van. He was still a cyborg, which was a little odd, but then, Logan didn't know anything how time travel worked.
Jean used her telekinesis to carry both Amandas, and Charles rolled in behind her.
Logan was concerned for Alex. He didn't seem to want to let the Soul Swords go, and they didn't need another fight on their hands.
"Hey," Forge walked up to them. "I got everything ready."
Alex took a deep breath in. "Ja."
"You ready kid?" Logan asked.
"I zink so."
"Alright then," Charles said.
Alex nodded, then teleported into the alien dimension.
Alex hesitated for a split second before dropping the Swords in. Unlimited power was now gone.
Warily paying attention to the creatures that were on his tail, Alex reappeared beside Logan.
"It is finished," He quoted.
Logan grunted. "Just like that?"
"Just like zat," Alex sighed. "How are zey?"
"Amanda is fine. She was just stunned. And...your parents will live," Jean walked up. "And Kurt's awake. He wants to see you."
Alex shook. "Okay," Teleporting to the infirmary room, he saw Amanda sitting in a chair beside Kurt. She was holding his hand, smiling lightly.
Kurt gestured for the door, and Alex walked in. "How you doing?"
Kurt opened his voice, but his voice was very low and hoarse. "I'm fine," He looked up at Amanda and grinned. "And you saved ze vorld," He coughed.
"Been doing it my whole life," Alex replied.
Amanda lowered her head.
"But it's not going to happen. I...took care of ze Svords. Before long, I'll probably just dissipate."
"No!" Amanda protested. "Why?"
"Because time is alvays changing. Zat is just how it happens. I may or may not be born, but frankly, it doesn't matter. I'm just thankful zat ze fate of ze vorld is different."
Kurt shook his head. "You are a very gut son. Know zat...son."
Alex chuckled. "Alright 'Dad'."
Amanda, emotional from everything, began to cry. She wrapped her arms around Alex, burying her head in his shoulder. "I'm so sorry! For everything! I promise I won't to anything like I did before...or later...or whatever!"
"I know you von't," Alex gasped. His chest tightened, and he fell to the floor.
"Alex?" Kurt's voice was fading in and out. "Alex!"
Kurt was shattered as he watched Alex, his son, fall to the ground. Slowly he began to vanish, and no matter how many time she pushed his red call alert button, no one was coming. Within a minute there was nothing left of the teenage hero. he was gone with the wind.
Amanda couldn't help but sob. Alex was gone.
Logan rushed in. "They disappeared!"
"I know," Kurt croaked. "Alex...he..."
"He's gone..." Amanda said.
"I'm sorry kids," Logan sighed. "I truly am."
Slowly the rest of the X-Men filed in, some still recovering from from Magik's attack, others having moved on to the fact that Kurt, Amanda, and Alex just dematerialized. It was hard to take in.
After a long time, Amanda turned to Kurt. But before she could say anything, Kurt put his finger to her mouth. "How about after high school? Zen ve see after zat?"
Amanda numbly nodded, sniffling.
"Well..." Kitty commented. "At least we got one good thing out of this..."
"And what's that half pint?"
"A wedding."
Yin: :O Is the story over? I don't think so...
