CHAPTER 10. BACK TO THE FUTURE

The X – Men stand around in the garden and there are a few children watching. "Thank you all I don't know if we could have fulfilled our mission without you…" Bishop says.

"I am sure you would have…" Charles replies.

"Keep up the fight the future depends on it…" Shard says speaking up.

Bishop looks at X, "So are you coming or not…"

He hunches his shoulders, "I think I will stay…I hope to see you in the future…"

They interlock arms then Cronos opens a time warp portal. Bishop, Blink, Shard, and Cronos enter and it closes.

MUTANT RESISTANCE BASE – 2055

A portal opens and the four time travelers emerge in the resistance base. When they gain their bearings a force field is placed around them. "Hey what is this?" Bishop asks.

"Oh my God!" Shard says.

Bishop's team is looking at Magneto, Charles Xavier, Forge, Wolverine, Storm, and Rogue. "Welcome back to the future…"

"Did we succeed…"

"Yes and no…" Charles replies.

"You stopped the Sentinels from existing, but your trip through time gave birth to something far worse…We are at war with super-humans or Mutates…But before that the Mutant race was laid low by the legacy virus…A virus that affected only Mutants…Many died including my son X and my wife…"

"So why the medical bubble?"

"We did not want you to get infected…and we needed to give you the cure…"

"There is a cure?" Blink asks.

"Derived from Wolverine's DNA…His healing factor…His blood allowed Forge and Beast to create a cure for all mutants…But Beast died before we could give it to him…"

They give the time travelers the cure. Then they are released from the medical field. They gather in the war room to plan another trip into the past. Then the alarm starts to sound as mutates infiltrate the base. "Intruder Alert!" The base computer announces.

"Time to go!" Magneto says. He offers his hand to Cronos, but Magneto is blasted in the chest with an energy blast.

"Nemesis!" Charles says.

"Magneto! No!" Rogue screams. She flies at the super-mutate and punches him in the face. She sneers and tries to punch him again, only this time he catches her fist breaking every bone in her hand. Down on her knees she goes and then Nemesis breaks her neck with the other hand killing her. Soldiers enter the war room and start shooting. Charles goes down then Cronos.

Forge fires his gun and Shard blasts them with her energy beams. Then there is a huge flash as Cable appears. He throws a shield grenade and blows a whole in the wall. "You three come with me if you wish to live…" They follow Cable through the hole in the wall and run down a hallway. "Computer time jump coordinates to the year 1987 for four…"

"Triangulating…Time jump initiated…"

All four are engulfed in time warp energy and they vanish.
