X-Games
Chapter 3
Samuel Guthrie jolts up in bed. Sweat beating down his face,his mouth hanging open with panting,irregular breaths.
He wipes a hand over his sweaty forehead and swipes it thru his hair.
He had the same nightmare he had been having for weeks....and what bothered him the most....was that he knew that being a mutant...especially a mutant on a super hero team like x-force that dreams or nightmares.....ussually came true....
He got up and let his cold feet touch the floor and this reminded him of a song.
He left his room and walked down the hallway.
Tabitha's door was adjar and he could see her sleeping inside.
He stood and stared at her for nearly five minutes before the dream slowly but surely creeped its way back into his thoughts.
The dreams sequence sometimes differed but the conclusion was always the same.
There was going to be a battle.
Only a few of them would be able to fight this unknown villian and Sam,aka Cannonball,did not know how these few were choosen.
But he did know,that he would be one of the combanants.
He also knew that failing to defeat this being would mean the end of everything
..........including Tabitha...........
Cannonball watches on as Wolverine and Northstar fade into view on the stage,the blue static falling from their bodies.
He knows instantly that this is his dream come to life.
His nightmare
And he doesnt know whether to feel responsible or not....
"I guess its a good ol' Canada brawl here eh Northstar?" Wolverine says with a grin.
Northstar frowns and says "I never wanted any part of this.....but if defeating you is what it takes to get the hell out of here then I will."
"Mister confidense eh bub?"
Northstar's eyes glow momentaraly and he is gone.
Wolverine sniffs around and easily spots him flying high above.
"Flying aint gonna help ya twinkle toes!You'll have to come down some time!"
Northstar knew this to be true and could find nothing he could hit the Wild man with and even if he could,he doubted it would be good enough.
With a burst of hope,Northstar moves quickly again,this time he closes in on Wolverine.
'I know Logan will be using his damn sences to find me out......so ill have to use my reflexes quickly to dodge his attacks...'
Wolverine had senced Jean-Pual closing in on his side and skillfully back handed in that direction.
Jean-Paul,using all the sences he had,which were nothing compared to the clawed man in front of him,was able to dodge the back hand.
Northstar's speed was much greater that Logan's,much to Northstar's luck.
Northstar zipped around Wolverine and rammed both his fists into the man's gut.
Wolverine barely grunted and sent a fist to Northstar's face,the result was Northstar being sprawled on the ground with blood running from his nose.
Jean-Paul sat up slowly just in time to see the wild X-man charge at him.
With a sound of rage,Northstar threw up his hands and bombarded Wolverine with a feild of blinding light.
Wolverine's eyes closed and for just a second...just one second he became disoriented.
A second was all Jean-Paul Beaubier needed.
He shot up quickly and rapidly bombarded Wolverine with his fists.
In less than one minutes,Northstar had hit Wolverine with over 500 blows.
Wolverine,unfortuantly for Jean-Paul,has taken worse.
With one fluid movement,Wolverine began to beat down on the fellow mutant.
Until Northstar fell before him,bloody and broken,but not in danger of dying.
Both Wolverine and Northstar were taken away by the blue static.
But only Wolverine came back,while Northstar was nowhere to be seen.
"You did not have to go so strongly on the man Logan." Storm scolded him as she walked up to him.
"Ah,Ororo...lay off....watch the next chump battle....."He lit a cigar that he had placed in his mouth "....Guy had it comin'"
Archangel suddenly faded away with the static,as did the Beast.
They became visible again in the areana as the others watched on.
Warren's blue face was stern as he watched over his long time friend,Hank McCoy.
His thoughts for a mess,he didn't know which course of action to take.
The Beast approached him and put a hand on his shoulder.
"I know Warren,this is an odd and cruel perdicament we have been placed in....but like those before us,I think it is best to duel it out,at least one of us might be able to fight the maniac who did this to us"
"Your right Hank,still does'nt seem right...(he sighs)...even Scott has cut lose onNightcrawler back there..."
"Yes..I know,truely a remarkable event...only in desperate times does Cyclops allow his power to go free.....and on a teamate? My stars and gathers....what are we in for?What are we in for?"
They stood there,wondering just that before Henry broke the silence.
"Well my friend,i beleive it is time we started..."
