This is part three of my X-men/Labyrinth x-over. I thought that at most that this series would be at the most four parts but it doesn't look that way. Oh well.
Ok heres the drill:
I don't own this stuff
I don't make money for this stuff
and everybody knows it
X-treme circumstances Part 3
Wolverine, Gambit, Jubilee, and Sarah got off the jet and was soon met by Professor X.
Xavier looked at Sarah, "Hello. I am Professor Xavier. You are Sarah, right?"
Sarah nodded.
Xavier smiled, "Good. I don't know how much Jubilee has told you but we really need your help with Jareth. It seems that he is losing his magic and needs someone to go into his home world and bring back a crystal. "
"So why did you contact me," she asked.
"Because you can get us into the other world and through the Labyirnth."
Sarah was perplexed, "Why do you think I can get you into the Underground? I have no powers."
"Jareth says that you do have some power and you have used it before........... when you were angry at your brother you opened the gateway between both worlds."
Sarah sighed and shook her head. "But I didn't open any portals... All I did was wish my....," she stopped, "So that's how...."
Xavier looked at Sarah questionably, "Yes?"
She looked at the X-men that stood around her, "I have to wish us there!"
"This is good Sarah," Xavier said, "Now that you know how to get into the underground, you can start on your trip. Wolverine, Gambit, and Jubilee have all agreed to go with you."
"Yeah," Jubilee added, "Lets go get us a crystal!"
Gambit rolled his eyes. Wolverine just nodded.
Sarah smiled, "Very well.... I wish that we could enter the Underground.... Right now!"
Soon a set of crystal doors appeared in the middle of the grounds. They opened revealing the all too familiar sight of the Labyrinth to Sarah and the others.
Xavier was awestruck. It was just like the image he saw in Jareth's mind! Resisting the temptation to go through the doors, he watched as the girl and three X-men disappeared through the doorway.
***************************************************************
"Wow!," Jubilee exclaimed as she saw the Labyrinth, "this is so cool!"
Wolverine looked at his young friend, "Just take in mind that we have to solve that thing to save that Jareth guy."
The four made their way down the hill to where the outer wall of the Labyrinth stood. Sarah stopped and looked around for a familiar face.
She sighed.
"What's wrong Sarah?," asked Jubilee when she noticed Sarah's change in mood.
Sarah looked back to her friend, "Nothing much.... I was just kinda expecting to see one of my friends here. I guess its a dumb idea. The under ground is a big place... Why would he be here of all places?"
"Maybe you'll meet up with this friend later," Jubilee suggested, "I'm sure of it."
Gambit looked at the walls for an opening, "I don't see anyway in...", he said out loud.
"You just have to ask the right question," Sarah absentmindedly answered....
"What?", gambit asked.
Sarah still was caught off guard by what she said but for some reason repeated it. "To get in we have to ask the right question."
"Oh this is stupid!," Gambit said, "How does a question get you in?" He charged up one of his cards with energy and threw it at the wall. When the card hit the wall an explosion erupted. But all that happened to the wall was a little scratch.
"Oh great!", gambit said, throwing his arms up in frustration, ".... I can't blow a hole through this thing......there are no doors in sight.... just dandy. So HOW DO WE GET INTO THE LABYRINTH?"
Just as Gambit says those words, two large metallic gates opened.
Gambit was surprised, "What happened?"
Sarah smiled, "You asked the right question."
"Good job Gumbo., " Wolverine commented as they entered the Labyrinth.
***************************************************************
Mystique entered the room where Magneto was in.
"I trust that you brought me news, " Magneto commented as he heard her enter, "Well?... What is it?"
"The girl does know that mutant.," Mystiques said as she walked towards Magneto.
magneto smiled, "I knew it. He was protecting her, not the senator. Maybe it will be easy to recruit him after all."
"It won't be easy."
"And why not?"
"the girl..... She is a friend to one of the X-men..., the Jubilee girl."
Magneto frowned, "this is not good. The girl could introduce him to Xavier before I meet with him... We must find him immediately. Did you figure out where he could be?"
Mystique frowned, "The girl wasn't very clear. She said something about a private clinic. She didn't say where."
"Well check the private clinics and keep an eye on the girl. She may provide a clue to his whereabouts."
"Very well..."
Mystique left the room.
***************************************************************
Jean watched the monitors that were hooked up to Jareth.
All signs normal... for now.
She looks over to a couch where Beast fell asleep. Poor guy he had been up for a long time and only found time to rest right now.
Hearing the door slide open, she turned to greet her mentor.
"Hello Professor."
"How is he doing?," Xavier asked.
"He's doing well.... where's Storm and Rogue?"
"I put them back on Kelly duty. they're not happy but they understand why I did that."
"Oh....ok.."
Silence filled the room and Xavier turned to leave the infirmary. As the door slid open, one of the monitors began to beep.
Jean looked at the machine and frowned. She woke up Beast and pointed out the change in the monitor.
"Is this supposed to happen, Beast?", Jean asked.
Beast studied the output, "Oh my..."
Professor X turned back to look at the two X-men, "What is it?"
Beast looked at the Professor, "He's starting to age rapidly. If this continues, Jareth will be dead within ten hours."
Xavier left the infirmary and went into a separate room. There in the center was Cerebro. Putting on Cerebro, Professor X reached out with his mind.
***************************************************************
Sarah, Wolverine, gambit and Jubilee made their way through the greener part of the Labyrinth.
Sarah wondered to herself how far they actually went until she saw the familiar sight of Alph and Ralph.
"Hello Sarah. We haven't seen you in a long time!", Alph said as he noticed her walking towards the doors.
"Yes. Long time indeed.", Ralph commented.
Sarah smiled. "Hello Alph and Ralph. Same drill as before?"
"Yes."
"One door is the correct door and the other will lead to certain death. You may only ask one of us one question and be forewarned that one of us always lies and one of us always tells the truth."
Wolverine and Gambit exchanged confused glances.
"Wait a minute...," Jubilee interrupted, "They could BOTH be lying. Instead of just one always lying it could be both that always lie."
Sarah looked at Jubilee and then back at Alph and Ralph. Of Course! It made sense.
"Well that pretty much gets rid of the question thing", Sarah frowned.
Sarah was going to ask Gambit what he thought when he noticed a strange look on his face.
"What's wrong Gambit?", She asked, "Are you well?"
"I'm fine Cherie, "Gambit answered, "But Jareth is not so fine. Beast estimates that Jareth will die in about 10 hours with out the crystal."
"How do you know?"
"Professor X is talkn' en my head."
"Oh...", Sarah said, "Hey wait a minute...... 10 hours?!! That's not enough time!"
She felt sick. She needed Hoggle's help dearly.
"Oh Hoggle.......," She muttered, "..... I need you."
"Well..........WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO?!," a voice rang out.
Sarah knew that voice anywhere, "Hoggle!"
Wolverine, gambit, and Jubilee moved over so Sarah called to reach her friend. She hugged him.
"What's wrong Sarah?", Hoggle asked, "Why do you need me?"
Sarah looked at her short friend, "Hoggle, if I could guarantee that Jareth will not punish you, would you be able to show me and my friends to the Goblin Castle in less than 10 hours?"
Hoggle thought about it, "It'd be a stretch but I guess I could show you the shortcut... But I must warn you.... some parts are dangerous. Ans some parts are off-limits... You did say Jareth won't punish me right?"
Sarah laughed, "Yes. I don't see why he would if he wants me to get through this time."
"So Hoggle," Jubilee asked, "Do we go Left or right?"
"Left."
***************************************************************
Jean looked on worriedly s Jareth's face seemed to contort with pain.
"Oh, poor dear...", She said. She wanted so much to sooth the tortured soul. She closed her eyes and reached out to Jareth's mind.
Soon she was surrounded in darkness except for a small window. Getting a closer look, she sees five figures.
Jean jumps as a gloved hand touches her shoulder. Turning around she sees Jareth He seemed older looking.
"Sorry about that.... You must be Jean." Jareth then notices what she was looking at.... "They have certainly covered a lot of distance. I wonder if it will be enough to get to the castle in time."
Jareth waives his hand and the image disappears. "I better conserve what's left of my magic and stop checking up on these guys."
Jean looked to the weakened Faye, "You seemed to be in pain....Is there anything I can do for you?"
Jareth managed a faint smile, "You have done enough already and I appreciate the help."
Jean smiles, "It's the least we can do for you....doing our job and protecting the Senator."
Jareth shook his head, "I wasn't protecting the Senator."
"You weren't?"
"No. I was protecting Sarah," he answered, "Although I think she believes I only did it to protect the Senator or something for my own benefit. Don't tell her the real reason. I'd rather have her think I did it for selfish reasons.......It'll be easier for her if she thinks that."
"Why?"
"She won't feel so bad if she gets back too late."
***************************************************************
After about an hour of walking they noticed they were in a forest.
"Be careful now...," Hoggle warned, "We still have to cross the firey's forest. But it isn't as long a path as the other way."
"Oh no..." Sarah groaned.
"What Cherie?," gambit asked, "Why is that a bad thing?"
Sarah looked at the Cajun, "The last time I met up with them, They were trying to take my head off."
"Ouch."
They looked around carefully and cautiously made their way through the forest.
Jubilee noticed a flash of orange, "What the?..." She pointed at what she saw.
Sarah looked at what Jubilee was pointing at and cursed, "Come on people... they saw us."
"Hey Lady!," a firey yelled out, "You've come back to play?"
"Stay away!," Sarah yelled.
"But you owe us your head!," another one yelled.
Soon the group was surrounded by fireys They soon started to dance.
Wolverine rolled his eyes and grabbed one of the firey's by the head. He was slightly surprised by the head coming off but kept his cool.
"What did the Lady say?," Wolverine asked the firey as he showed his claws to the head.
The firey was startled, "She said to stay away."
"Good. You can hear.," Wolverine said as he let go of the head, "Heed those words or your head will have a permanent headache."
The firey assembled himself and quickly rejoined his friends. "Come on....", he said to his friends, "these guys don't want to play."
As they were leaving, the firey turned to the group and yelled, "Spoil sports!"
Soon the fireys were gone.
Sarah smiled at Wolverine, "Thanks! I don't think I could stomach another visit from them."
Wolverine nodded, "Let's keep going."
The four humans followed Hoggle once more.
***************************************************************
James knocked on the door to Jubilee's room and frowned when there was no answer.
He was kind of concerned when Jubilee didn't make it to the one class they did share.
He decided to check with Sarah and knocked on her door and was surprised to get no answer. Where were those two?
"Are you looking for Sarah?", a voice came from behind James.
James turned around and came face to face with a reddish-brown haired girl, "Ummm....hi..."
The girl smiled, "My name is Melissa Loadenstien. And yours is?..."
"Uhhh.... James Caldwell."
"So James..... are you looking for Sarah?"
"Uh yeah... I'm looking for her friend Jubilee as well."
"Oh... well I don't know who Jubilee is but I saw Sarah and this black haired girl in a yellow raincoat walking outside of the building with these two men."
"Two men?"
"yeah.....", She looked at James and then looked at her watch, "Oh well I have classes starting soon so I better get going. I hope you find your friends."
She turned towards the elevators and then stopped to look back at James, "Hey... Could you e-mail me when Sarah gets back? She borrowed some notes of mine and I need to get them back soon."
"Must be some important notes."
"Yes. and a very important test is based off of them."
With that Melissa left the hallway leaving James with his thoughts. "Two men?"
He left for his room with a worried look on his face. "I don't like this one bit."
