X-Men Belonging Chapter 16: Episode 16, a x-men fanfic

EPISODE 16:

ATVs and SUVs drive full speed toward and past Cyclops and co. at the first line of defence. Dust puts up sand walls which lift vehicles into the air and have them crash land. Gambit kinetically charges playing cards and throws them toward tires, blowing them so those vehicles can't go further. Wolverine and Sabretooth battle one another as if they were gladiators in an arena. Dr. Doom's goons step out of other vehicles and begin shooting. Captain America, Angel and Iron Man defend themselves and fight back. Doom's goons have guns and don't care to use them. Erik addresses Doom.

Erik: "You didn't tell me guns were your way to go."

Doom: "That was your deal with Cloak and Dagger, not mine."

Doom joins in the fight, going back and forth with Cyclops. Erik decides to drive through the chaos. We see at the back end of the Jeep that it's heavily weighed down. Juggernaut sits with a rocket launcher in his grasp.

At the entrance of the ceremony we watch as a number of Doom's goons' vehicles arrive. Shots are fired and dozens of Doom's army exit the vehicles and go on to battle the second line of defence. We see Black Widow engage. Hulk battles many. Beast launches armed soldiers as far from the entrance as he can.

We fade to seeing Shadowcat and Jubilee along with Luke Cage guiding people away from the commotion and toward the Black Panther Complex.

Spider-Man joins the fight at the second line of defence and he seeks out Nightcrawler.

Spider-Man: "Kurt, Kitty needs help."

Nightcrawler: "On it."

Colossus: "Take me with you, please?"

Nightcrawler looks toward Beast who sees Blob arriving in the far distance.

Beast: "We'll need you here Piotr. You have to do the job. You can't help Kitty out of emotion."

Colossus: "Please Beast," he points toward Banner; "we have a Hulk after all."

Hulk: "Hulk smash fat Blob!"

Beast nods to Colossus as BAMPF, Colossus and Nightcrawler disappear.

The ground keeps rumbling and opening and we see Avalanche inside the vehicle with Mystique beside him. Toad is driving.

Mystique: "You can't do more damage?"

Avalanche: "Not at this size." He stops the rumbles, exhausted. "We need to be normal so I can break the ground more."

Mystique: "Fine. Toad stop the car."

Toad stops and Mystique presses the button on the gadget that The Wasp gave her for the car. The car becomes regular size, making the inhabitants regular size too. We see Quicksilver swiftly appear by the car window. He knocks on it. Mystique gets out.

Quicksilver: "There you are. What was the rush?"

Mystique makes the car miniature and puts it in her pocket. She marches toward the Black Panther Complex: "Cloak and Dagger are here for the same thing we are. I just made things happen a little early."

Quicksilver: "Right before the I dos? That's cold."

Mystique: "Like I give a shit." Mystique marches with Quicksilver, Toad and Avalanche in tow. "Is everyone else here?"

Quicksilver: "They're here. There's a big fight on the outskirts and one at the ceremony. How did you guys make it in this far?"

Mystique: "That's not important. What's important is finding that tomb and getting sunlight to it. Where are Blob and Juggernaut?"

Quicksilver: "Blob's at the ceremony. Juggernaut's with my dad."

Mystique: "And Wasp?"

We see The Wasp crawl out of Quicksilver's pocket. She flies into some space and appears as regular size: "I'm right here. Thanks for the heads up."

Mystique: "I get impatient."

Cloak and Dagger emerge.

Dagger: "Your impatience is bullshit."

Cloak: "And why are we hearing gunfire? Your dad agreed that there would be no killing!"

Mystique: "Look Cunt and Fucker, do you wanna wake Nur or not? All that commotion keeps all the good little bunnies busy so we can get through the building and out back to break down to the hollow ground under the pyramid. Is that alright with you?"

Dagger: "What the hell did you just call me?"

Cloak: "We don't have time for this. Do we know for sure that's the weakest point of the pyramid?"

Quicksilver: "Yeah, right out the back of the fancy hotel. I took a zing around the place and Wasp went into some cracks. That hollow ground is out the back and below, as dad expected."

The group arrive at the Black Panther Complex. Quake is there with her guard up.

Quake: "Mystique. No surprise you're on Erik's side over such a ludicrous plan."

Mystique: "I'll have you know it was my idea."

Quicksilver: "Our idea. Yeah that's right, our idea. What's it to you anyway Quake? Mutants have zilcho to do with Inhumans."

Quake: "Except for the fact that a lot of'm are my friends. Apart from Cloak and Dagger apparently."

Dagger begins talking as Avalanche and Toad become impatient. Mystique seems up for a fight, but Cloak and Dagger try to calm the situation down. We fade as we see Jubilee join Quake's side.

We cut to see BAMPF Nightcrawler bring Colossus to Shadowcat.

Shadowcat: "There's drama out front Kurt, Mystique has arrived. Daisy is there and Jubilee's gone too. Can you help me get these people to the courtyard?"

Nightcrawler: "Of course mein freund."

Nightcrawler BAMPFs on and off to move people to perceived safety. There's an awkward silence between Piotr and Kitty.

Shadowcat: "I can't handle this right now Pete."

Colossus: "Calm Shadowcat. Where do you need me?"

The building rumbles and we see parts of it begin to fall. BAMPF, Nightcrawler drops off Luke Cage.

Cage: "Most of the people are outside, but I heard there's a fight where I may be of more assistance."

Shadowcat nods: "Out front. Try minimise the chaos." She looks at her former beau; "You too Colossus."

Colossus nods and pounds fists with Luke Cage as they exit the scene. Shadowcat and Nightcrawler try to help and guide people through the rubble and the rumbling.

Colossus and Luke Cage emerge at the entrance of the Complex, joining Jubilee and Quake as the last line of defence as the fight has already ensued. Quake and Avalanche try and cancel one another out as Cage fights with Toad and Colossus goes for Mystique. She's agile and she goes between Cage's fight, turning into Cage and confusing Colossus. She goes between Quake's fight and turns into her, confusing Colossus. Cloak, Dagger, Quicksilver and The Wasp are no longer on the scene.

We fade to seeing the fight continuing at the first line of defence; Cyclops, Captain America, Wolverine, Iron Man, Gambit, Dust and Angel battling against what seems like hundreds of Dr. Doom's goons.

We split-screen to seeing the second line of defence where Thing and Human Torch do all they can to protect the unconscious bodies of Storm, Black Panther and Mr. Fantastic. Sue Storm is covering them using her power to form a protective shield, but the chaos continues as Blob and Hulk tumble back and forth. Beast deals with Doom's soldiers along with Black Widow and Spider-Man. Wakanda'n guards try to do their part in honour of their fallen King T'challa.

We see Cloak and Dagger emerge at the back of the Complex. Quicksilver and The Wasp are already there. The building rumbles because Avalanche is trying to bring it down and Quake is trying to counter him on the outside. Shadowcat emerges through a wall. She sees Cloak and Dagger.

Shadowcat: "Ty', Tandy?" She sees The Wasp; "Hope? What's going on?"

The Wasp: "Not Hope, not anymore."

Dagger: "She's Janet now. Took her mom's name."

Shadowcat: "Why?"

Rumbles continue and the building continues to crumble around and near them. As Cloak begins to speak we hear a loud boom. They all look up and see that the Complex is falling apart even more.

Shadowcat: "Ty'? What the hell?"

Cloak: "Look Kitty, we can explain later."

Another boom.

We cut to the outside and see that Erik and has driven onto the scene of the last line of defence. Juggernaut on the back end of the Jeep. The booms are coming from a rocket launcher that Juggernaut was shooting at the Complex. Quicksilver zooms to Erik.

Quicksilver: "Dad, you can stop. We've found our way in. We need Juggernaut to get us through."

Mystique shouts: "Blow the whole place down!"

Quicksilver: "No dad, you said it yourself; Nur's in a tomb down there. If the building falls then we risk crushing him underneath."

Erik nods and exits the vehicle: "Get Cain and I inside."

Quicksilver zooms his father to where Cloak, Dagger, The Wasp and Shadowcat are. We watch as he heads back out to the front and tries to take Juggernaut, but he can't pull him.

Quicksilver: "Juggernaut, what the hell man?"

Juggernaut stands there as Quicksilver tries to pull, to push and even tries causing a mini tornado to get Marko to move. As Juggernaut tries to explain we see Luke Cage land a fist in his face and this knocks him back a few yards. Juggernaut goes right back at him and headbutt's Cage to the ground. Colossus comes to take over as Toad latches his tongue around Cage's neck and their fight continues.

Mystique: "Pietro, get me inside."

Quicksilver zooms Mystique into the crumbling building. Shadowcat is arguing with Cloak, Dagger, Wasp and Erik.

Erik to Mystique and Quicksilver: "Where's Cain?"

Mystique: "You didn't realise Juggernaut's too big and heavy for Pietro to move at speed."

Erik: "Shit."

Quicksilver: "Sorry dad. I tried, but he wouldn't budge."

Erik: "Alright well go help the fight son. We need him in here."

Mystique: "Pietro, take me back out there."

Quicksilver takes Mystique back out to the fight.

We fade to see how Wolverine and Sabretooth have made one another bleed dramatically, but both of their wounds gradually heal.

Sabretooth: "You would lose if you weren't a mutant Wolverine. The punishment you take from me would've had you torn to shreds years ago!"

Wolverine: "You ever thought that I keep you alive for sport bub? I can fuck you up if I want to you ugly piece of shit. Look at you, you're an animal. You blame me for never standing out, you blame me for always being second best and what, you blame me for Decimation Day too? You want to be human huh? Or did you want me to lose my mutant abilities just so you can come and finally kill me?"

Sabretooth in anger: "I wanna kill you! I'll be the one to kill you!"

The brothers scream at one another and continue their battle.

At the wedding reception we see the arrival of Dr. Doom having made it through the first line of defence. He's fully armoured and floating in the air due to his rocket boots. We watch as he has a skirmish with Spider-Man and then he has his eyes set on Mr. Fantastic, though he can recognise that Sue Storm is there because of the protective shield. He floats toward the stage, but Thing and Human Torch come to stand in his way. Around their showdown we see Black Widow and Beast fighting Doom's goons. Human Torch barks at Doom commanding him to step away, but without a word in return Doom force blasts Thing and then he shoots a laser toward Human Torch, but Johnny absorbs it in his fire state. A battle ensues between them, but every so often Doom fires a force blast at the shield that Invisible Woman has up over Mr. Fantastic, Storm and Black Panther. We see Wakanda'n guards in the mix of fighting Doom's goons. Many of which sacrifice themselves for King T'challa.

Outside of the Black Panther Complex we see Mystique go to the back of the Jeep to pick up the rocket launcher. Quicksilver gets involved in the fight, helping Toad against Luke Cage while Jubilee tries to help Quake against Avalanche to try and minimise the rumbling. Mystique makes her way through the commotion and into the entrance of the Complex.

At the back of the Complex we see Shadowcat arguing with Cloak and Dagger. Black Panther's mother Ramonda is there trying to reason with Erik. Daredevil is there and he's arguing with The Wasp back and forth.

Shadowcat: "Ramonda, please, you shouldn't be out here, please let me take you to safety."

Ramonda: "I will not let a tyrant come and ruin my son's wedding day without having my say."

Daredevil to The Wasp: "I can tell by your heartbeat that you're the most anxious person in here. Why is that?"

Wasp: "You know nothing about me Murdock."

Dagger to Cloak: "Come on Ty' get us in."

Cloak: "I've tried. I don't know what's on the other side, so I can't get through. Magneto's plan was right to bring Juggernaut in."

Nightcrawler BAMPFs to the first line of defence to collect Cyclops. He seems hurt, but continues valiantly. BAMPF.

BAMPF; they arrive at the back of the Black Panther Complex with Nightcrawler holding Cyclops up.

Cyclops: "Erik. You have to stop. Nothing good is going to come from waking En Sabah Nur." Cyclops looks at Cloak and Dagger. "You two. Of all the things you could've done against us, this is the most heinous crime you could've committed."

Dagger: "Crime?" She laughs, "Crime? You hear that Ty'?"

Cloak: "Tandy come on, he didn't mean it like that. Scott if you would just let us explain."

Cyclops: "You can explain yourselves later. Enough now Erik."

Erik: "Oh holier-than-thou Cyclops. I'm here to get Wanda back. This is the only way I know how."

Cyclops: "You're here to waken the apocalypse. You know better than anybody that this guy can't be trusted, nor reasoned with, nor negotiated with." He says barking at Erik while also addressing Cloak and Dagger. "There's no telling what he could do if you wake him. It could be the end of all of us."

Erik: "What do you know about anything Scott? En Sabah Nur was the first ever mutant. He might see the lack of mutants in the world and want more of a mutant presence. He might understand that we need Wanda back so that she can make things the way they were."

Cyclops: "The way they were when you were Magneto? The way they were when mutants were a prosperous part of the world?"

Erik: "Exactly. Wanda could be found. Charles could be found. I don't understand why you're so against this. Waking Nur might fix everything."

Cyclops: "Might Erik, key word being might! You're hurting people to get what you want here. And if Nur agrees with you, that the mutant population needs to come to life again, what if he agrees to it on the basis of wiping out humans first? This is a reckless attempt to restore your life. You're even more selfish than you have ever been and I'm not going to let you do it!"

We see Mystique emerge with the rocket launcher readily pointed toward the back wall of the Black Panther Complex; the softest point of the pyramid outside. Nightcrawler steps in front of the whole crowd.

Mystique: "Kurt move out of the way. Leave here. This has nothing to do with you."

Nightcrawler: "I'm sure me being a mutant has everything to do with it mother. Why? Don't want to fight your own son?"

Mystique: "I'm not here to fight, I'm here to get to Nur so move!"

Everyone begins to squabble and shout over one another.

The Wasp to Nightcrawler: "Your mom's fuckin' crazy."

Dagger to Cyclops: "Who do you think you are?"

Erik to Daredevil: "What business is this of yours?"

Cloak to Shadowcat: "No, you're not listening. This has to be done because…"

We hear a stomping. A stampede-like march, but the arguing continues. We cut to the outside where Juggernaut runs through the front of the Complex full speed, decking Jubilee on the way. She's knocked out cold as he continues all the way through. He decks Mystique en route, smashes through the crowd and goes head first into the back wall of the Complex. The wall caves through and downward. Juggernaut falls through into a hollow dark space. Cloak and Dagger have disappeared. Daredevil is nowhere to be seen. Shadowcat is on the floor, but only has a few scratches on her.

Shadowcat: "Oh my God. Ramonda? Ramonda, where are you?"

Erik picks himself up, as does Cyclops. Mystique is out cold and Nightcrawler is checking on her. Erik and Cyclops look down into the dark hole. We watch as a line of sand and gravel moves along the floor past the feet of Erik and Cyclops and down into the hole.

Following the sand and gravel we see that Juggernaut has landed in a heap of rubble and he seems dizzy. The space beneath the pyramid is circular and while Juggernaut is in the middle we can see four entrance ways that assumedly lead to different places.

We cut to Ramonda walking down a dark tunnel. She fiddles through her clothing; a stunning outfit that had become dusty, torn and ruined. She pulls out her mobile phone and turns on the flashlight. She points it down the tunnel and sees nothing, but instead of turning around to go back, she keeps walking.

We fade to Daredevil walking down a dark tunnel. He seems steady with his pace, but purposeful.

We see The Wasp, in her miniature state flying through a dark tunnel. We cut to her point of view and through her technology she can see where she's going via night-vision. "Here Nurry Nurry Nurry" she says quietly to herself.

Elsewhere in another part of this underground maze we see sand and gravel whooshing through a dark tunnel.

Further underneath the pyramid we're in a dark room that has the mummified body of En Sabah Nur on a raised platform in the middle. There's walking space around him and the room is circular. As we pan around it we can just about make out that it has four separate entrance points.

Out front of the Black Panther Complex we see Cloak and Dagger emerge by Quicksilver. Gambit is riding onto the scene on his quad bike, but by the time he gets there Cloak, Dagger and Quicksilver have disappeared. Gambit sees Quake in trouble and he charges a card and flings it at Avalanche, exploding the ground at his feet and causing Avalanche to be blasted away from Quake. Gambit gets off the quad and goes over to Quake to check on her. She's hurt, but conscious as he puts an arm under her head.

Quake: "Always helpin' a damsel in distress huh?"

Gambit: "Well I would hardly say you were ever in distress Chere."

Gambit helps Quake to her feet.

Quake: "I heard that the opening to El Savio -"

Gambit: " - En Sabah Nur."

Quake: "Whatever. His tomb's under the back end of the Complex. Thing is Shadowcat led a lot a people near there to try get'm to safety. I don't know what's going on now."

Gambit: "Cyc' must be in there." Gambit notices Jubilee down and out: "Merde, Jubilee!"

Quake sees Toad coming for them: "Go to her, I'll handle him."

In the distance we watch as a couple of SUVs carrying Doom's goons also drive over. Gambit puts his hand to Quake's waist: "You sure you're gonna be alright?"

Quake: "You gonna take your hand off my ass?"

Gambit smiles: "Sorry, force of habit." He runs off in the direction of Jubilee.

Daisy shakes her head, has a smile to herself, but then gets her fists up and ready to fight once again.

We fade to seeing Captain America and Iron Man teaming up against a number of Doom's goons at the first line of defence. Wolverine and Sabretooth endlessly go back and forth.

Angel joins the second line of defence, trying to help Hulk against Blob. Spider-Man is hurt as is The Thing. Beast and Black Widow do a great number on the goons, but when they try and help Human Torch, Doom force blasts Beast away and he shoots Black Widow with a laser. She's down and badly hurt. Now Human Torch is one on one against Dr. Doom as Sue Storm tries protecting her husband and friends.

Black Widow on comms to her fellow Avengers: "Tony, Cap', get back to the wedding venue. Shit's hitting the fan here."

Luke Cage and Quake are fighting out front of the Complex against Avalanche, Toad and numerous Dr. Doom goons. Colossus is protecting the area around Jubilee. Gambit can't seem to wake her.

Gambit: "Jubilee!"

We fade to a four-way split screen where we see Ramonda, Daredevil, The Wasp and Dust make their way down their respective tunnels.

Meanwhile Erik and Cyclops are arguing. Nightcrawler is beside his mother's fallen body and we see Shadowcat sink herself through the ground and down to Juggernaut. He tries to get up through all the rubble, but Kitty goes to his legs and sinks into the ground around him, pulling his legs into the floor. Juggernaut's body is halfway down into the ground and Shadowcat smartly pulls one of his arms into the ground too. He begins swearing at her as only his head and one arm are free from the floor. He begins swiping for her, but she's out of reach and he can't move. She ignores him as she turns and looks around, realising that she has a choice of four tunnels to go down.
