The Amazing X-men
Arc 3: Magneto
Issue 9
The X-men looked at Magneto who was floating in the air.
"What are you doing here?" Wolverine shouted
"I just saved your life; I was expecting you to be a little more grateful" Magneto smiled.
Wolverine got his claws out.
"Please, I mean you no harm" Magneto started to beg, he was beginning to think Wolverine wanted to kill him.
"Look, it's been a long day, first we destroyed Weapon X, and then a robot attacked us. We are all just so very tired" Cyclops replied.
Magneto looked at the X-men, and then he noticed Frank.
"I never knew Xavier brought traitors into the group" the evil mutant smiled as he flew off.
Wolverine looked at Frank.
"What is he talking about buddy?
"Don't worry, it's nothing to do with you" Frank replied, walking out the mansion.]
"Get back here" Wolverine shouted as he tried to run after him, but Cyclops held him back.
"Leave him Logan, let him run. He will be back" Cyclops said.
Later that day…
Magneto stood outside the Weapon X ruins.
"You're late" Magneto announced.
"And you're early" a voice replied.
Magneto turned round to see Deadpool holding a sword.
"When is the launch date?" Magneto asked.
"Xavier is finding out now. But I reckon this war has already started, we just don't know it yet" Deadpool replied.
"That's crazy. We all know it starts with the camps, then the Sentinels and then the Apocalypse" Magneto said, looking back at the ruins.
"However it starts, we need to end it. I don't think we can prevent it from happening, but we can at least make sure it doesn't last the century Bishop and Cable said it would" Deadpool explained.
"The X-men are our best shot, but even they will only listen to Xavier. Clueless fools, they are being guided by someone who wants to defend them peacefully, but will have to eventually kill them" Magneto weakly smiled.
"It could result into the end of the X-men, I can see why Xavier is not letting go so easily" Deadpool replied.
The X-mansion
The X-men had been called to the briefing room where a team of tired and fed up heroes sat on chairs. Xavier sat in his wheelchair looking very distressed.
"Fellow X-men, I am ashamed to say that I've not been honest these last few days. I have lied to every one of you and I feel that it was not right to put you in the dark. But everything you have witnessed over the last few days has been planned. The Agent who killed that boy. He is a X-men from the future, an X-men with the power to show illusions. The only way to find him was by him pretending to kill a child so that we can bring him in safely. He is from exactly 58 years into our timeline, a timeline where after the coming of Apocalypse and the battle of the Sentinels, we were at war with one another. Yes, a mutant Civil War. I don't know how it begins, but I know how it will end. It will end with the death of humanity and the end of the world" Xavier explained.
The X-men looked stunned at the news they were giving. All except Wolverine who sat there smoking his cigar.
Prologue to Arc 4
The Desert, Two days ago…
The Egypt desert was surrounded by a crazy sandstorm. Explores looked at the Pyramid and gazed at its beauty. Even the sandstorms won't trouble these people.
"Look at it" one of the tem said to his partner.
His partner smiled, her face filled with delight.
Then the ground started to shake.
The two explores where too stunned to move. A whole ripped on the side of the Pyramid and a blue face emerged.
"I am APACOLYPSE!" the face called.
The man was terrified but the woman still had a crazy smile of delight.
"Yes my master, reign supreme" the woman shouted.
The man looked at his partner.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"I am the slave of the Apocalypse" she smiled as half her face turned to sand.
Apocalypse looked at the man.
"You are an Enemy of the Mutants, Horsewoman, kill him" the giant ordered.
The man slowly turned to sand, his screams filling the air. Within minutes, he flew away like the rest of the sandstorm.
The woman then regained human form.
"Master, how shall I serve you?" the woman laughed.
"Find me the one who awakened me" the Giant ordered.
Arc 3 Epilogue
Weapon X ruins…
Cable, Deadpool, Magneto and Titan all stood looking at the ruins.
"When do we fight?" Deadpool asked.
"Now" Cable replied.
They all turned round to see Sandstorm, Archangel, Gambit and Sabertooth.
"Hello Master" Cable smiled.
