Scene 10
Washington DC-Lincoln Memorial
William Stryker is met by Henry Geirich-they shake hands
Henry
"General its been a long time."
William
"You were right about the Mutants! They are among us-How soon can you have a unit up and running?"
Henry
"I need money General-Sentinels don't grow on trees!"
They laugh
"I showed some friends in Genosha your designs-They are very interested-but first they wish to see them in action-if the prototype works here in America they wish to use them to oversee the round up of mutants in the Island country."
Henry
"What about the President?"
William
"If he won't approve the project then we will have to find a President who will."
CIA Research Facility
Agent is sitting in a room with another talking about Shaw-while the Mutants are in the break room talking and playing games.
Darwin
"Man you are killing my score."
Scott
"Pin ball is my life man!"
Pixie
"Guys I'm going to the bathroom."
Darwin pauses as his survival instincts kick in and he hears a feint thump
"Did you guys here that?"
Thump
Bobby
"I heard it that time!"
Jean
"What the hell is that?"
Agent
"This Shaw is slippery we need to convince the Director to put all field agents on this-Maybe we should even bring in SHIELD on this!"
Thump-the Agent gets up and goes to the window and as he stares out the window the Agent behind him is grabbed by Azeezal in a puff of red smoke
"What the hell!"
Azeezal reappears and grabs the Agent-They reappear in the air and he drops the agent
Darwin
"Son of bitch!"
Jean and Pixie scream as the Agent is dropped in front of the glass-Then a huge tornado rips apart the Cerebro building.
Agent
"Stay here we are under attack
Front Lobby
Soldier
"Hold it right there!"
Shaw ignores the command
"I'm looking for the Mutants-Can you tell me where they are!"
Soldier
"I said hold it right there or I will open fire!"
Shaw
"I know, but tell me where the advanced people are first."
The soldier shoots but the bullets have no affect on Shaw as he walks up to the Soldier and grabs him by the neck. He lifts him up with one hand.
Soldiers run into the lobby and from the second level they point their guns at Shaw
"Drop the soldier or we drop you!"
He throws the man to the second level onto his comrades. The rest of the men open fire and Shaw absorbs the energy of the bullets as they hit him. When they cease fire he raises his foot and brings it down destroying the lobby and killing the men.
Soldier
"Get back!" He yells as Azeezal appears behind him
Mutants-Scott, Jean, Pixie, Bobby, Hank, Warren, and Darwin
"Look out!"
They all scream, but the man is stabbed by Azeezal who kills the Agents in the Qwaud one by one. He teleports-vanishing and reappearing-Causing the soldiers to kill their own men, he slashes throats, stab men with his tail-snaps necks.
Darwin
"Stay here my ass!"
They run and are cut by a soldier
"Get back!"
Darwin
"We can help!"
But they refuse to listen and they run back to the RR room.
Azeezal and Antoine walk through the broken glass of the window
Agent
"The mutants are in there-just let us normal people go."
There is a loud cracking sound and Shaw walks in
"Where's the telepath?"
Azeezal
"He's not here!"
Shaw removes his helmet
"Good I can take this stupid thing off!"
When he does Jean Narrows her eyes and attack their minds-They all fall to their knees
Jean smiles and says with her mind
("Guess what boys? I'm a telepath as well!")
That is when Pixie hits Jean across the head knocking her out and she becomes Mystique
Shaw slowly stands up
"Nice work Mystique-Where is the real one?"
She leaves and comes back with the real Pixie-After sticking her with a needle she wakes up
Shaw puts his helmet back on
"My brothers and sisters-A war is coming! When humans find out what we can do and who we are a line will be drawn in the sand-Ask yourselves which side are you going to be on-Ask yourselves do you want to protect people who fear and hate you-or do you wish to be kings and queens."
Pixie sighs
"He's right-We don't belong here! And I'm tired of hiding."
Darwin
"No! Don't do this!"
Pixie
"I sorry!"
Warren
"No you are weak!"
Pixie
"We don't belong here! None of us do!"
Shaw
"Come on-They will see the truth!"
Scott helps Jean up as they watch Shaw and his people get ready to leave with Pixie
Darwin
"We have to do something!"
Darwin bumps Scott who pushes him
"Wait! I'm coming with you!"
Pixie smiles as Shaw asks a question
"And what can you do?"
Darwin
"I adapt to survive-So I'm coming with you!"
Shaw
"Good man!"
Darwin
"Scott now!"
Darwin grabs Pixie as Scott removes his glasses and fires his explosive eye power at Shaw-It hits him in the chest and he absorbs the blast-Azeezal and Antoine cover their eyes
Shaw smiles
"Nice try-you want to protect your fellow mutant!"
Darwin tries to hit Shaw who blocks the lick and absorbs it
"Adapt to this!"
He uses the energy he absorbed from Scott and places it in Darwin's mouth as he adapts to the energy Shaw vanishes with Azeezal, Antoine, Mystique, and Pixie-Darwin raises his hand as he looks at the others-His body becomes molten led, then it becomes volcanic rock and then he becaomes normal-Then his body glows brightly and he is incinerated.
The research facility is in ruins when Charles drives up with Moira, Sean, and Erick-Charles jumps out and hugs Jean
"Are you alright?"
Jean
"I'm fine I just have a splitting headache!"
She replies rubbing the spot where Mystique hit her
Bobby
"What do we do now?"
Scott
"I say we go after that son of a bitch!"
Warren
"The facility is destroyed!"
Charles
"No you are all going home!"
Scott
"What home-If you remember you found me in a correctional facility-I don't have a home."
Jean
"Darwin is dead Professor! You just expect us to walk away."
Erick
"We can avenge him!"
Charles looks disapprovingly at Erick
"Erick a word please! They are just kids!"
Erick
"No they aren't not after what they just witnessed-They need closure and as you told me earlier Shaw has an army and we need ours."
Charles sighs
"We will need training-all of us!"
Scott
"Where? The Facility is destroyed."
Charles
"I have place!"
CIA Headquarters
William
"I told you! These mutants are dangerous!"
The CIA Director and General Stryker are looking through a two way mirror at Emma Frost
"I know, but you went behind my back!"
William
"Someone has to fight for humankind-Mutants are a disease."
Director
"She is a US citizen-she has rights!"
William
"She is a mistake of nature-Shaw, Xavier, and that Jean Grey-This is just the beginning-A war is coming Director and we need to be ready."
The Director looks at him
"Yes a but a war with whom?"
Emma gets up and walks up to the glass-Her hand becomes diamond and she cuts a hole in it and pushes
"That's a good question Director-Though I wouldn't call it a war-That implies that both sides stand an equal chance of winning."
