~Begin Chapter 2~
"What!?!" cried out the German born, Kurt Wagner, also known as
Nightcrawler.
"Yeah, that's what I said."
"How could that have slipped by us? We have everything monitored here."
"I was just about to ask you the same. It's good that we're on the same
page."
"We need to talk to Charles."
In northern parts of the world, Ottawa specifically, Sabertooth had
begun to form an army. An army consisting of thugs, gangsters, mobsters,
and any other low life form you could think of. He was forming his army
with precision. He had specialists in every form of killing, minus
Wolverine. He goes by the reputation of being the best there is at what he
does. And you can figure out what that is. Creed knows this. He expects
Wolverine to come. He expects Wolverine to lash out in vain and anger.
That gives Sabertooth his edge. Wolverine has his berserker attitude that
can't be controlled, and Creed knows that. He takes advantage of it every
time.
Logan was on a direct flight to Ottawa, along with Nightcrawler,
Iceman, and Jessica Drew. It was a direct flight on the X-Men's personal
jet. The crew was within an hour of their destination, when the aircraft
was attacked. Sabertooth was expecting Logan's arrival. After a few
minutes of intense flying from Kurt and Wolverine, our team of heroes
departed on their venture to the remains of Department H. Little did they
know, Creed had also anticipated this move, planning for Wolverine to find
some clues. On the way there, they met up with Shaman, Sasquatch, and
Puck, three of Alpha Flight's premier members.
"A lot has happened since we first talked Logan," explained Shaman,
"Sabertooth has formed an army of an incredible size. We can't even begin
to imagine how he's done this so quickly right under our noses."
"Well, I can't even begin to imagine how you let this happen in the first
place!" yelled Logan.
"Logan, calm your nerves. We'll get through this," said Jessica, trying to
reason with him. But reasoning with Wolverine? That's facing the
impossible!
"HOW CAN I CALM DOWN? I HAVE MY ARCHENEMY HOLDING TWO OF MY BEST FRIENDS
SOMEWHERE, AND I HAVE NO CLUE IF THEY'RE ALIVE!"
"What is our first move, guys?" asked Puck.
The mystic better known as Shaman answered that, "We must eliminate
Sabertooth's forces. I can take care of the eastern side, while Wolverine
and Jessica take care of the west. Nightcrawler, Iceman, you take care of
the north, and Sasquatch and Puck will handle the south."
"And just how do you expect that to work?" questioned Iceman.
"You just take care of you part of the job, and I'll do my part." Shaman
responded.
