Pods go lucas gets caught go to xaVI AS CLIFFIE
Hey all I didn't intend on writing this chappie so soon after but he said yes! So im going ot update YEEEEAAAH!!!And my dad got me a car!!!
Rogue cried out as Lucas plummeted onto the harsh ground below, some sort of self preservation mechanism kept the adamantium shield from letting her fly to him.
As soon as she was able she snapped the metal coils back into her hands and with a pained howl she soared as fast as she could towards him.
Magneto released his own shield and they all turned their eyes upward to see Rogue racing to Lucas' plunging form. "No!" Remy's eyes were wide with pain as he saw one of the remaining silver beast also leap into the air after Lucas, at the rate they were both going the creature would grab Rogue in its massive jaws.
Magneto paled and raised his hands to stop the creature but a shot from one of the remaining soldiers stopped him and Magneto clutched his injured hand to his chest, trying to stem the blood flow. Wanda turned to the soldier enraged; flinging a hex at him she watched with satisfaction as his figure contorted then went limp.
Seeing John's slightly disgusted face she smirked "relax he's still alive, but I wouldn't count on a lot of heavy action for a while"
John winced again and looked at the poor fool, then sighed as he saw the touched look on Magneto's face, yep he planned to marry into a mad house…..
Rouge was yards away from Lucas when a giant silver blur swept past her, the friction threw her out of control and when she regained balance she could see the creature grab Lucas's puppet like form in its jaws and throw it into the air like a rag doll, catching it on it's back the beast turned and ran.
Rogue growled just as hard and wiped away a lock of sweat soaked hair; she flew higher to gain altitude and began her chase
Pete took a step forward and then turned to Magneto "she's running after her death, we have to stop her!'
Magneto growled at him obviously no liking the situation any more than the hot headed blade thrower
"At the speed they're going at and our current strength after this battle we can do nothing but pick of the remaining soldiers and hope that's enough!"
Remy grunted with anger but realized they didn't have the strength to do much more, with any luck it'd make a difference; he picked up a stray piece of rubble charged it and flung it at the emerging soldiers. Then they jumped back into the battle hoping the best for their companions.
Rogue was gaining, her speed was un-believable and she was determined to get him. By now they were almost half way across the meteor, when she was almost parallel she noticed a large aircraft with soldiers clustered around it.
Their gray suits camouflaged them against the dusty rubble in the almost absent light, the small fires that were scattered across the ruins of their home provided most of the light, casting long stretching shadows over the troops, the silhouettes of their guns were elongated till they looked like spears and Rogue began to realize what she was jumping into, ignoring the logical part of her telling her to run and hide.
She pulled her adamantium up to block the blasts that began to cascade upon her as she got closer, she used a final burst of energy to jump onto the creature's back and climbed up it to reach Lucas, it screeched to a halt and threw her off violently sending her into the aircraft, another volley of bullets beat on her adamantium shield but Rogue pushed it away as she leapt after Lucas, by now soldiers were pulling him of the creatures back
She jumped again, but with her energy so low she was slow and her vision was beginning to double. The creature easily threw her at the craft again, a handful of soldiers raced to subdue her but a voice stopped them.
"Leave her, we'll get another chance at her when she comes to rescue this one. Right now she's to great a threat to take"
The soldiers backed off but not without a few glares thrown her way. Rogue stood back up shakily using the wall of the ship to pull herself up, a soldier shot at her and screamed when the bullet ricocheted back into his knee.
She gave a smug grin and used Remy's powers to charge all of the rubble from her to the entrance of the ship, as it blew up the trolley with Lucas was flung to a side, Rogue winced as Lucas' body was thrown about once more, if they got out of this he would kill her, vain thing he was.
By now the soldiers realized that shooting her was pointless and had taken to jumping on her. This too was pointless as everywhere they jumped an adamantium block stopped them, breaking many noses and teeth.
The silver creature saw the humans weakness and pounced on her, a signal from one of the scientists stopped it from shredding her, she struggled in vain to free herself not caring as pain ripped through her as her muscles were shredded by the creatures claws, unable to heal because they were embedded in her shoulders.
She started to scream as they worked past the wreckage to load Lucas's form onto the ship.
She used her dwindling energy to charge the entire beast above her, it howled as its torso was blow to bits.
She struggled to stand up and started to walk shakily back to the ship, she couldn't let them have him
This wouldn't be like the stasis chamber
He wouldn't just float in an eternal sleep
This would be torture
This would be pain
She wouldn't allow that
Then it all went dark and she could feel her adamantium fall as a single blow to the back of her head put her out of commission, the last thing she saw was the soldiers filing back into the ship.
Pain, and that grating feel of muscles knitting themselves back together, that was all she could feel, the crackling of fire and the smell of smoke filled her senses, she struggled to open her eyes, when she did all she could see was a large rock in front of her face, she tried to turn her head and realized what an effort it was, trying to move the rest of her body was too much, she hurt.
And so she lay there, weeping at her failure to save someone from the pain that would await them due to her inability to beat the enemy. This was wrong, what had happened, why had her powers diminished so quickly?
The light had only brushed her in the explosion! That that was enough to diminish her so much was terrifying.
And so Rogue lay there smelling smoldering building around her, she closed her eyes and faded back into that peaceful silence, ignoring the remorse that filled her hours of consciousness.
"Chere"
"Chere"
"Chere"
It wouldn't go away, that vague annoying voice, kept breaking the silence. She tried to block it out as she blocked out the other voiced from her powers.
But this one wouldn't go away, and then suddenly the world began to shake.
Remy clambered over the rubble, turning over rock after rock, signs, and swings, he picked up a chair and flung it to the side, his eyes scanned the area for a hint of leather hoping desperately that she hadn't been taken.
Rogue
If she was returned to that place, he didn't know what would happen
She could go mad
He couldn't lose her
Then he saw it, brown and red in the suns early light, he ran for it,
"I found her! She's here!"
Scrambling over the wreckage over to his chere. Her head was right next to a large rock that looked like it was ready to fall and crush her already bloody head.
He pushed the rubble away unsure if it was safe to move her. He felt for a pulse and was ready to cry when he found one
"chere come on, chere, wake up chere"
The others were there now around her body , Magneto bent down and shook her slightly, reaching under her shoulders to bring her upwards he began to shake her harder, he bent down and whispered into her ear
"Marie, come now Marie, wake up, we're waiting for you. If Lucas is to be saved we'll need your help"
Remy pulled her closer to him ignoring Magneto's look of amusement and annoyance
'cheeeere"
"shut up"
Rogue moaned as she turned her head lightly then whimpered as she was crushed to Remy's large beaten form, he immediately let go and sheepishly grinned,
"Sorry about that chere, just happy to see you"
Rogue smiled lightly then it all came rushing back
"Lucas, what happened, wait now- they took him! We have to get him!"
Remy looked at her sadly, she was still healing and at such a slow pace, and yet she was already trying to jump into another life threatening battle. Magneto pushed her down by the shoulder ignoring her gasp of pain .
"Not yet, we have no resources in which to retrieve him, to do so now would be suicide"
Rogue glared at him but understood what he said, after so long they knew what each other were saying before it was even spoken. Laura however was like the others clueless
"What do you mean?"
Magneto turned to her with a small smirk "Simple dear child, to save the young Xavier we must go to the old Xavier"
Pietro raised an eyebrow "why would he help?"
Magneto smirked as Betsy slowly began to use her powers to lift up Rogues' weak body
"The same reason I allowed you to buy that Lamborghini Pietro, guilt" The twin's eyes widened with enlightenment and smirks grew on both of their faces.
And so the tattered and torn crew found them selves shelter among the wreckage for a night, salvaging food and cloths for their haggard bodies. It was dawn when they all lay down to rest.
In the morning they would fly out in silver orbs to Xavier's' Institute for the gifted and then see where things went from there. Remy would share an orb with Rogue to monitor her condition and a fully covered Rogue would rest in a silver orb clutching a worried Cajun in her healing sleep.
Elsewhere a raven with eyes of amber and heart full of guilt soared looking for her daughter, and the ache in her chest growing as she realized that soon everything would come out in the open, and when it did she would either live a life eternally full of regret or maybe she would be able to get a second chance….
