+Ice Can Kill +
Johnny sat on the couch watching T.V. enjoying his day off away from Sue, Reed, and most of all Ben. They had all left to celebrate Sue and Reed's engagement. Johnny had instead felt like staying home. Ever since Celeste had disappeared he didn't feel like doing much at all. He could understand why she was pissed at them for the whole Victor thing but that didn't mean she had to leave. They had to destroy Victor to destroy his little evil plot. Johnny had done everything to find Celeste. He had called up her agent who had said he hadn't talked to her in about two months. He had searched her apartment to only find she up and left leaving most of her stuff behind along with the fantastic five suit. Johnny had even asked the hospital that her brother had been in only to find that her brother had passed the same night that the whole thing went down. He had the whole city searching for her but no one had seen her. It was like she had been there one second and then next she was gone. 'Like a Mirage' Johnny thought with a small smile. As Johnny watched the news he found something unusual. The Newscaster was saying that temperatures had started to drop. Well that was unusual since it was still in the middle of the summer. He'd have to tell Reed about that later.
Johnny was about to change the channel when he heard the newscaster say something that really caught he's attention.
"Earlier this week a jail was broken into by a group of mutants, three were men who were identified as these men who used to work for magneto," Johnny looked at the picture not really recognizing any of them and he was about to turn it off until they mentioned something else, " and three women, with only two identified to also had worked with Magneto, the other was not identified and was only caught on this camera," they said showing a film with a girl with long white hair and dark blue streaks through it attacking a couple of guys in it with ice crystals made from her hands in the video, " If you know who this is please call. These group of people are armed and dangerous. They recently busted out Magneto from this prison and disappeared like in what appeared to be a cloud of smoke." Johnny did recognize who that was on the video. It was Celeste but what was she doing with them.
A week ago
Celeste sat in a car along with Gambit in the passenger seat to her left and Quill, Zonic, Callisto, and Pyro all cramped in the back of the van. "So Cheri you sure you know what you're doing," Gambit asked.
"Believe me Gambit, if I didn't I would tell you," Celeste snapped.
"Well it seems like you don't," Pyro said.
"Do you want you're pretend daddy back or not flame boy," Celeste said. Pyro just glared and Celeste said, "That's what I thought." Celeste looked out the window and the huge jail with guards surrounded all around it. "Let's do this," Celeste said getting out of the Van. Gambit followed behind and after him was Callisto, Zonic, Quill and then Pyro. Celeste started walking towards the gate and immediately the guards tensed and glared at her and the others. "Sorry Ma'm you can't go in, it's restricted." In an instant he was up in the air choking. "I didn't ask, I'm telling you," Celeste said as he finally died and she threw him to the side. The other guards started shooting but it didn't work because Zonic had used her powers to deflect the bullets. Quill helped get rid of the guards with his own powers as Celeste busted down the gate, which immediately sent alarms off. Guards started to shoot them from all directions. Celeste set up her own barrier of ice and only delt with what was in front of her. She killed everyone that stepped into her path. As she continued to walk she stepped over the bloody bodies without any emotion. As she reached the next-door Zonic used her power to break it down but it didn't work.
"Pyro melt the sides, I'll do the rest from there," Celeste said. Pyro quickly lit his lighter and began to melt the sides when the sides where melted Celeste froze it and then with a single kick brought it down. Pyro just looked at her glaring. Celeste didn't know why but ever since they met she never quite liked him and he never quite like her. She guessed she didn't like him because he reminded her of someone, but then again so did Gambit or better yet known as Remy.
Celeste stepped inside only to find more guards. They took them out easily but with all the power that Celeste had been using it had begun to wear her down.
"You all right Cheri," Gambit asked putting his hand on her shoulder.
"Yeah just a little weak, that's it, nothing a little rest can't fix," Celeste said.
"Alright then we'll do most of it from here, you've done most of yours," Gambit said as he threw a card at a group of guards who blew into pieces as the card did. Celeste's face cringed at that but she recovered.
"Having problems standing the slaughter," Pyro said with an evil smirk.
"No," Celeste said glaring at him. Callisto was so fast that she destroyed ever guy easily. To her it was like killing an ant. Zonic was keeping most of the soldier's bullets and darts at bay. Quill was doing his job of killing the guards with his quills. Gambit was blowing everything in his path to pieces, while Pyro burned everything in his. Celeste however was simply standing around watching as she tried to gain energy back. That was the only thing she had learned that was her weakness. The more she used the more she losed as the saying went. When they finally reached the 3rd floor everyone was beginning to tire and Celeste took over again by slinging every object she could at the soldiers and using as many ice crystals that she could muster. At one point she noticed a camera video tapping her and she told Pyro to burn it and he quickly did, but it was to late anyway. It had caught her on tape along with the others. She'd just have to deal with that later then. When they finally reached the floor that Magneto was on they breathed in a sigh of relief. They were almost halfway done.
When they finally reached his cell Celeste did that little trick again with Pyro but they found that it was only glass and not metal.
"Shit," Celeste said.
"What are we going to do now? It's to thick to break despite it being glass," Callisto said.
"Stand back," Celeste said. She extended her arm out and began to slowly ball her hand into a fist and that's when the others heard it. A cracking sound began to erupt and at the last second before Celeste fully closed her fist the Glass cracked all the way and burst. Everyone covered their faces to shield themselves as Zonic used her mutation to deflect the pieces of glass away from them.
"You know Cheri, it seems to me you learn a power every other week," Gambit said.
"Yeah well how I got this way is the reason of that," Celeste said looking at her arm, which was covered in blood because of the glass, but it quickly healed and all that was left was the blood. She cleaned herself up by taking off her jacket and using it to get it off. She then wrapped the Jacket around her waist and walked into the chamber. Magneto who was on the other side of the chamber in a glass box was smiling. Celeste looked down in time to notice that she was going to have to fly over and get him. Celeste flew over and once again broke the glass with the same move.
"I'm presuming you're here to rescue me," Magneto said.
"Why else would I be here," Celeste said.
"Well I have heard all about you Miss, Doom," Magneto said.
"For my pleasure, call me Mirage," Celeste said and Magneto smiled.
"Well let's get out of here then," Magneto said and with that Celeste threw him three metal balls that helped him to the other side. As they made their way out they didn't have much trouble due to all the now slaughtered guards, but as they reached the courtyard Celeste found a plane there and a couple of people all dressed in black jumpsuits.
"Well, look who has a new body," Magneto said looking at a rather old man.
"I had to make a few changes Erik," the man said.
"I didn't know you'd become a hypocrite in doing so Charles," Magneto said smiling.
"So what is this, you're little crew that's going to save you," a man that had hair shaped like wolf ears said.
"Actually that's he's little crew, so he has his little crew, himself, and me," Celeste said.
"Ah, Celeste, I heard all about what happened to you're family on the news. I'm sorry for them but you must understand that it was necessary," Xavier said.
"Nothing like that is ever necessary for the reason they did it," Celeste said.
"Reed Richards called me and told me everything, he say's that Johnny misses you terrible. Celeste why don't you come with us. We can help you, if you'll just help us," Xavier said.
"None of that talk will persuade me anymore, Mr. Xavier," Celeste said. Xavier frowned and then said, "I'm sorry I had to do this Celeste, but you need to understand what you are about to do." Celeste wasn't about to hear anymore and motioned for Pyro to use his fire and she used her ice and water to create a steam to hide them and help them get away in.
"What am I going to tell Reed now," Xavier said.
Back to week after that
Johnny stood still looking at the T.V. Right, as he was about to reach for the phone to call Reed he walked in along with Ben and Sue. The phone began to ring and then Reed answered it. Johnny overheard and frowned. Apparently Celeste had been the one to attack the jail and she had slaughtered over 200 guards.
"Johnny I got some bad news," Reed said as he put down the phone.
"What," Johnny said.
"That was a friend of mine, Professor Xavier, he called and to tell me that Celeste has attacked the jail that a man named Magneto was stationed at. He believes that she did this because she thinks with his help she can get back at us. Xavier said she has a plan but he didn't have enough time to find out because she disappeared. He told us to be on our toes and keep an eye out for anything suspicious," Reed said.
"Well do you call drop in temperature drastically, something suspicious," Johnny said.
"Yes," Reed said glaring at Johnny and then the T.V. where they were still showing the attack on the jail. The body count had been 350 and the ones alive were about 35. What a way to relate the numbers but then again most of the ones that had lived were the people imprisoned in the jail.
All right I couldn't help myself so I decided to right another chapter. This is only the beginning of what is to come and I hope you'll enjoy what is to come because I'm trying real hard to make it as real as possible. Just remember this I won't be able to right the Rise of Silver Surfer part until I see the new movie. Oh and this part of the Story I'm going to call, (copying the Rise of the Silver Surfer part) Rise of the Icy Mirage. Okay, lame, I know, but come on you can come up with a name and I'll use whatever good tips you give me. Well I really hoped you liked the chapter.
