AN: Michael has to go after Armageddon in order to save the two girls he loves the most. Will he save them in time? Well...

Chapter Ten: Time For A Hero

Michael wanted to tear Armageddon limb from limb as soon as he saw him and heard what he had did to Miley and Melody. He would get them back safe and sound, no problem. Armageddon was really going to get it now. Michael was going to make him pay very dearly for putting his hands on his girls. The price for harming his loved ones?

Death.

"So, what do we do now?" William asked.

"We clear our heads, and go after this SOB." David answered.

"How do we 'clear our heads', so to speak?" William asked.

"Burn some bridges, and by saying that, I mean, take care of some things before we go after Armageddon."

"Meaning?" William hesitated.

"Come clean to the X-Men about the real reason that we are here." Michael said suddenly. David and William looked at him like he had lost his mind, and judging by the way he was thinking and acting, that wasn't a too far off guess.

"Are you sure?" David asked Michael.

"For Miley and Melody." Michael said looking at them. David and William shared a glance, and nodded in agreement.

"Thanks. Let's go." Michael said. David and William began their journey back to the Xavier institute.

God, please let Miley and Melody be all right...

Xavier was studying the security cameras very carefully. He was watching as smoke filled a car, and two burly figures took two young girls out of a car. Xavier knew that it had to be Miley and Melody. That meant that only Armageddon was behind this, and he wanted to lure Michael to his place for an unknown reason, but why?

"What's up, Chuck?" Logan asked, entering with Jean and Scott.

"There was an abduction outside our grounds earlier today." Xavier said.

"Who was abducted?" Jean asked.

"Miley Stuart, and Melody Song." Xavier said. "Those are two young women very close to Michael."

"Why would he take them?" Scott asked.

"Because," Xavier said, turning to the three students, "Armageddon hopes to use Michael's hidden power to take over the world. He is going to do something that I do not know yet."

"So that's why you wanted him out here, so he could deal with this goon, right?" ogan asked.

"Exactly. Now I fear that bringing him here might cause civilian casualties." Xavier said. He looked up, and saw Michael enter the institute, followed by two unfamiliar young men.

"Better go and face him, then." Xavier said leaving the room.

Michael was pacing back and forth, like a cage lion. He knew that he couldn't waste any more precious time standing here with these useless mutants.

"Calm down." David said.

"How can I?" Michael said. "Miley and Melody are God's knows where, and I can't save them unless I go and find them."

"I take it that you know what has happened, Michael." Xavier said.

"Yeah, my girlfriend and stepsister was jacked from right in front of your fucking school!" Michael yelled.

"Watch your mouth, kid." Logan said.

"Kiss off." Michael shot back.

"Look, we need to go after him, if we sit around and wait he will kill them." William said.

"And who are you?" Scott asked. William stepped right into his face.

"We are his friends, unlike you who took someone else's girl and is a total asshole hidden by some glasses." William said.

"Also," David interjected, "our powers are inherited, not some mutant nonsense."

"Like you are any stronger than us." Logan said. "Can you heal yourself after taking damage? I bet you can't."

"Well, asshole, there is a flaw in your logic there." David said. "Do you know that all it takes to stop a self healing enemy is an attack that can kill him in a single hit? Because Michael, William and myself all know an attack that can do just that. Do you?"

Dead silence.

Thought so.

"How are you going to get Miley and Melody back?" Jean asked Michael.

"Leave that to me." David said. "Just you let me worry about that."

Armageddon was staring at his two trophies, as you would call them. Miley and Melody were sound asleep in their prison cell, awaiting their fate. Armageddon soon would have the all powerful Dragon of the Mind in his clutches. He knew that Michael would try to rescue the two women that he loved, and that is why Armageddon kidnapped them both. It would just be a little while longer.

Armageddon is coming soon...
