Author's Note: Ummm... I don't really know what Sinister looks like; so don't get mad if the details are...wrong. Otherwise, Enjoy the story! This is the last chapter, but I'm writing a sequel.
Royal Flush Part Four: Something Sinister
Gambit woke slowly. He found himself chained to a wall in a cell. Across from his cell, he could see other unconscious X-men chained just as he was. His skipped a beat as he saw Rogue chained to the wall of her cell, a bit of blood running down her head. A shadow walked by his cell. Gambit could only recognize him as Mr. Sinister.
" It's wonderful isn't It."? Sinister said in a cold voice.
" Ah've been in better." Gambit said angrily.
" Well, soon you and your friends will not need better. This place is perfect...for the dead." Gambit's heart dropped into the floor. Sinister laughed and walked down the hall. Gambit sat there, stunned. Dead. Everyone would be dead. He would kill Rogue. Gambit's eyes burned with angered. He pulled at his chains. They were stuck. He groaned and picked at the locks. He couldn't charge it. It might blow his hand off. He glanced at Rogue. Was his hand worth the loss of Rogue's life? Of coarse not. He closed his eyes as he charged the shackle. It exploded and burned Gambit's hand. He cried out and cursed under his breath. He then charged the shackles that chained his feet and other arm. Freedom. He looked at Rogue's cell. She was gone. He burst open the cell door with ease. He dashed out into the hall to see Sinister holding Rogue, just over an odd looking machine.
" I was waiting for you, Remy. Would you like to know what this machine is?" Remy kept his eyes on Rogue. He nodded slowly.
" Very well. This machine is similar to your little friend here. When a mutant is hooked up to it, it takes away all of there mutant DNA. The machine gives the power to me. At a price though.This machine also takes the mutant's life along with their powers. Would you like to see your friend as an example?"
" No!" Gambit shouted. Suddenly an explosion attracted Gambit and Sinister's attention. Scott stepped out of the cell, along with the other X-men.
" Fools!" Sinister hissed. Scott shot at him, but missed. The beam hit the floor and caused a great hole. Sinister "accidentally" dropped the now awakened Rogue into it. She managed to grab onto the side.
" Rogue!" Gambit shouted as he ran to her and helped her up.
" Ah won't let you drop dis time, cher." He said as he pulled her up. There was another explosion and Rogue and Gambit looked around. Apparently, Sinister had some mutant helpers and they had knocked out Jean, Logan, and Kurt. Rogue ran to help them, her gloves lying on the ground. Sinister's evil laugh filled the room as Rogue tried to stop his mutant helpers. Nothing seemed to stop them. She would touch them, and it hurt Rogue. It was then that Gambit knew what he had to do. He sprinted to the machine and attached himself to it.
" Let's see how much power your machine can handle!" He shouted as he put forth all of his power into it. The machine started to suck his life out of him. He cried out in pain. The machine could not handle so much power. It exploded. Gambit's world faded to nothingness. It just ceased to exist. He fell to his knees and crumpled down in a heap. The blast of the machine destroyed the prison that the young mutants were held in. Sinister screamed as the place became rubble. He loved Rogue. He would give up his life for her.
