Divine inspiration

By Todd fan

Disclaimer: Do i LOOK like Stan Lee? I got the 'bodies dropping for the sky' idea from the movie Dogma. Bet that makes you wonder.

Hail to the reviewer, reviewer, reviewer Hail to the reviewer, reviewer person.

Bradliegh - Yes we all HATE Pickles. He's so evil, he could beat Dr Evil in an Evil contest. Yes, poor Evie pooo, i just can't help being mean to him, and i LIKE his character. Mmmmmmm i must be nicer to him in the future...

Dog face - Whoha ha ha ha ha. I have you under my power! Yes...i think i need to sleep.

Eileen - I love making people panic about cliffhangers. Maybe i'm just a little bit evil too.....





Chapter 14 - THE battle (insert drimatic music here).



The Blackbird landed on the grounds of the Stokes Maxium Sercurity Facility. The place was a deathly quiet. Kitty was the first out of the jet, phasing through the side. Her eyes widened at the sight before them.

"Oh my god", she said shakily.

"What?", said Lance, opening the Jet's door and stepping out, then he saw it, "oh...man".

Littered all around on the floor were bodies of guards. The place was a bloodbath.

"I guess were too late", said Storm looking around.

"You got that right toots", came a voice.

Out of the shadows stepped Imitate. His eyes glowed eirlily and he seemed to radiate power. Suddenly a body dropped right at Kitty's feet from the sky. She gave a squeal of fright and hid behind Lance. The mutants looked up to see a all-too-familiar winged figure flying around. It was Pickles. He had something in his arms. Imiatate looked up and grinned.

"He's been doing that for hours now", he said with a chuckle, "he's got a lot of pent up aggression in him. He's just picking them up and dropping them".

Pickles suddenly dropped whatever he was holding and letting it fall to the ground. As soon as it hit the ground, it was obvious what it was, it was a guard.

"Thats...gross", said Rogue.

"They deserved it".

The gang looked up to see Pickles coming down to land. His eyes were also glowing a deep dark red. Bastet groaned.

"You gave him divinity too?", she said, throwing her hands in the air.

"Of course", said Imitate with a shrug, "he should have it. Now the four of us are immortal, we are unstoppable. To top it all off, we're omnipitent, it's time we righted a wrong".

"What are ya talkin' about bub?", asked Logan.

"Its time we brought back mother!", said Imiatate with a manical laugh.

"Morgan!", said Todd, "but shes....".

"Not for long", said Imatiate, "brothers!, sister!, lets do this".

"You can't use your power to bring back the dead!", shouted Bastet, running forward, "the mess it would make would be unbeliveable. You can't open the gates to the underworld, everything will come out, not just your mother. You'll destroy us all!".

"I don't care", said Imitate indifferently, "we're immortal. We will be able to see you lot die. I think i'll enjoy this".

Pickles grinned at Bastet.

"You know, i always found Sidney attractive, but she was a fighter. I think you might be a little less....resistant to my persuits. The i'd get the best of both worlds", he said, walking over and running a hand through her hair, "he sniffed the air around her. You smell just as good as her. You look good in that little thing that your not wearing".

"Back off ugly", warned Todd.

"Theres the pot calling the kettle black", chuckled Pickles, "but i haven't got the time to fight with you people now. It's time to do some resurection".

He walked off to stand next to Mimic and Dopleganger. Imitate had hold of the sistrum, grinning. He suddenly rammed the sitrum into the ground and waved his hand over it. The ground began to shake again. Lance frowned, he was more in touch with the earth than anyone, and he could tell that the earth did NOT like this one bit.

"Will ya quit screwing around with my element please", he said, shaking his head.

"We have to stop them before it's too late", said Bastet, "if they open the gates to the underworld. Its game over for the enitre planet".

"Vell lets just get the stick", said Kurt.

*BAMF*

In a second, Kurt was standing next to the sistrum. He put his hand on it to try and pull it out of the ground. He felt a sudden and intense burning sensation. He yelped in pain and let go of the sistrum, only to be picked up by Mimic and thrown back to the group.

"That hurt", said Kurt, rubbing his hand.

"Once they have power over it, only I can touch the sistrum without getting hurt", said Bastet, "you think you can 'port me over there Kurt?".

"Sure thing", said Kurt standing up.

Dopleganger was listening to this and chuckled evily. She flicked a hand at Kurt and he suddenly fell to the ground unconcious.

"I think not", she said.

"Dam it", said Bastet.

The ground began to shake even more violently and a big crack started to appear in the ground. Bastet looked at it with wide eyes. She swiftly turned to Lance.

"Can you keep that thing small?", she asked, pointing to the crack.

"I'l try", said Lance with a shrug.

He rolled his eyes to the back of his head and concentrated, willing the ground to move back to it's normal position. Whatever was controling the ground was strong, very strong. Lance gave a groan of pain and put all he had into keeping things stable, trying to overpower the sistrum's power as he was doing it.

Bastet turned to Pietro.

"He can't keep that up for long", she said, "get me over there now. Everyone else, try to keep the goons occupied will you?".

Pietro nodded and picked up Bastet, speeding her over to where the trpilet's and Pickles were standing before they could notice. Bastet reached out to grab the sistrum only to be stopped in her tracks by Pickles. He waggled a finger at her.

"Ah ah ah", he said with a chuckle, "you can't go about....".

He was stopped in his tracks as Pietro started to run around him, creating a whirlwind. The large mutant was picked up and spun around, roaring loudly. Pietro kept him up in the air for a while longer before slamming him into the wall. Pickles dropped to the ground, unconcious. Imitate frowned.

"He's not as good a warrior as mother said he would be", he said, shaking his head, "oh well. Lets see if you can handle this".

He made the ground shake even more violently, causing the crack to go even bigger. Lance was having a hard time with this and he sank to his knees. The pressure in his head was now emense, he couldn't hold the ground closed for much longer. Meanhwile, Dopleganger and Mimic were being kept busy by Todd, Evan and Kitty. Mimic had turned into a enormas hawk and was trying to grab Kitty, only to phase through her. Mimic sreached and dive-bombed her again, this time Kitty phased straight thorugh the ground. Mimic misjuged his swoop and fell to the ground. This was all the time Todd needed to leap on top of him, knocking him out. Evan was also fighting Dopleganger with little difficulty, he just kept throwing spikes at her, it didn't stop her, but i kept her attention away from the sistrum. That only left Imitate guarding the sistrum. He stared down at Bastet.

"It's just you and me now, ex-goddess", he said with a smrik.

The distant rumble of thunder could be heard.

"Correction", said Bastet, "its just you and me and her".

She pointed skywards. Imitate looked up in time to see Storm throw a lightning bolt as him knocking him to the ground. Bastet saw this as her chance and leapt for the sistrum, grabbing it. The second her hand made contact with the wood, a blinding flash of light swept the area. The ground stopped rumbling. Lance quickly clapped his hands together, closing up the crack. He then gave a yell of pain and collapsed. Everyone stopped fighting to look at Bastet, her eyes glowed breifly then suddenly she dropped to the ground. Everything went quiet.
