Changes part 8B Dragonseizer
The group looked on as the Purple and blue planet grew in front of there eyes, as all they got closer and closer to it, No one spoke, none could. All looked at the marvellous site that laid in front of them All knew that this was just the start of a brand new adventure. Some more in more ways then one.
Later, on the planets surface.
"By the Goddess the sea it is red!" Exclaimed Ororo, as she surveyed the area around them. Other then the sea in front of her, she also noted the diverseness of this planet. On one side there seemed to be an endless dessert, on the other, vegetation..
"Yeah Blood Red" Wolverine spoke under his breath.
"Well then. I suggest we brake up in two teams. None of us knows were this second orb lies. Rogue, Raven and I sense's are pretty much useless from here on out. We should split into teams to cover more ground. Rogue, I and Christof will go in one group, were as the rest of you will go in the other." Alkia said taking charge.
"Excuse Me! Who the hell appointed you the leader? There is no way I am going to let you walk of with my daughter! Instead of Christof I will go with the two of you!" Raven said bluntly strait to the point
"No. Raven you wont. Someone has to stay with the ship. And that person should be you. I don't trust you. No way." Said Wolverine To Raven pushing her off her high horse
"No way! I am not going to let him near her!" Raven shouted back to all of them. Somehow she felt as though nothing she said was getting through to them.
"Mama Im a big girl. I can fight my own battles!" Rogue shouted at her. No way was Rogue was going to let Raven tell her what to do. She had, had enough of that in the past.
"Rogue we have several matters that we should discuss" Alkia said. Receiving a nod from Rogue.
"Right Listen up Kiddies and Listen up good! This is what is going to happen. Raven you stay with the ship." Wolverine stated before Raven could interrupt, he carried on with the plans " I will go with Alkia and Rogue. Storm, Bishop and Christof will go together. Is that clear?" He said looking at every one with those eyes that meant if anyone was to disagree at that moment. they would get a belly full of Adamantium as a result. " When either team finds something they tell the other over the intercom." Again no one spoke another word." Good lets get going. I want to get off this stinking planet as soon as I can."
With that both teams broke up. Storms into the Dessert and wolverines into the vegetation. Leaving a very angry Mystique behind.
"Wolverine" Rogue said to her side, as they entered the forest " You really trust Raven with our only way out of here?"
""Don't worry kid, She isn't going no were, trust me." Wolverine smirked as he lifted his nose into the air. trying to get a scent.
***********************************************************************************************
Storm, Bishop and Christof walked in a line Further and Further into the dessert
"So Christof what's the story With Raven and your brother? They don't seem to be so chummy for old friends" Bishop asked. Never the tactful one. Storm looked at him accusingly. He just shrugged his shoulders. Well there was no point in pussy footing over the subject was there.
"Raven and Alkia have never been friends" Christof laughed to himself "There be a time when they tried to be civil. But that lasted all of five seconds, before they started ripping each others heads off again."
"Then what's up with Rogue and Alkia?" Bishop asked. There had to be a reason why they were always at each other's throats.
" I thought the two of you were Rogues friends. If she didn't tell you then I don't suppose I should. Is it true that she has joined the X-men?"
"Yes child she did a very long time ago. She has proven herself many times. She is a true friend." Storm told him. looking at his puzzled frown that appeared on his face.
"None of us ever thought she would leave the Brotherhood. Not even for Alkia…" Christof stopped himself. Now I have done it, or have I? What was the point from hiding it from them? What ever went on in the past was in the past. It should stay there. That's what Alkia always told me anyway. But then one.Can never hide from the past either.
"Even for Alkia eh? So there is more to do this little story. Come on kid spill it" Bishop spat out
"It's a long story," Christof said looking at his feet. He wasn't used to being interrogated like this.
Bishop looked around at the endless dessert with nothing in site
"We got time" At that remark from Bishop. Christof hesitantly began his story
"Alkia and Rogue were once an Item. In fact they were…. Engaged." Christof could feel Storm release a long breath in shock. Obviously Rogue hadn't told them this stuff. But no matter he had started now. "They were in love. There was a time that no one could pry them apart. You may not have noticed But Alkia is Immune to Rogue. none knows Why he just is. That was why, in the beginning, before there powers had shown them selves, Alkia and I joined Raven and Destiny. Of course back then we didn't know. What we had actually joined was the Brotherhood. I guess Raven thought Rogue would want Company with her powers and all. Anyway. As time went on Rogue and Alkia fell in love. Mystique hated Alkia. She always had. Don't know why, or why Raven decided to keep us there. Since she mistrusted him so. Personally I think that it was Destiny's doing. She was always concerned about Rogue's well fare, Alkia falled into it. That didn't change anything. Alkia and Rogue had to hide their love. and the fact that they were engaged. At least until the tension had eased up. Raven found out they're secret. And was dead set against the engagement. She would have done anything to stop it. By the time of the orbs, life had gotten intense. Alkia had enough and was talking to Rogue about leaving the Brotherhood. The three of us could go together and start up our own family. Rogue would not hear any of it. Even after everything Raven did to her she still saw her and Destiny as her mothers. Alkia thought she would never go. I knew there was a chance she would. I can sense things. People's emotions and there feelings. I knew there was a chance Rogue would leave. When we got back Destiny got sick, very sick. One day while we were all on a mission Mystique, Alkia and I. something went wrong. Alkia and I were still in a building when it exploded. It nearly killed the both of us. By the time we had come around and went back to the base. Everyone had gone including Rogue. I guess she finally made her mind up. Sure Alkia was Heart broken. But I helped him out and told him he should not try to contact her. It was foolish if he did try. Since then we have stuck together through thick and thin" Christof finished looking up at the sky remembering. "I guess the story wasn't that long after all…does that answer all of your question's Mr Bishop?" Christof said. Looking At Bishop and Ororo. Looking at the way they reacted to the news. Both seemed to be speechless.
Bishop looked up at Christof at his last statement and thought to himself only the answers to a few kid, Something still was not right and I have a good inkling that maybe this Chance accident. Might not have been such an accident as Christof clearly thought it was.
"Storm, Bishop, Christof. We have found something. a temple actually." The voice of Wolverine spoke over the intercom.
"I suggest you get here stat. there is a strange smell around here, I don't like it"
"We are on our way Logan. What is your position?" Storm said as her group ground to a halt
"About 2 miles North of were we started…. Eh…what the ……" Wolverine's voice was drowned out by the noise of a busell going on ahead. The intercom went flat but not before Storm made some attempt to resume contact
"Its dead" She informed Christof and Bishop. Eagerly waiting to here what was happening
"Then I guess we should go and help them out" Christof replied. It was not needed. All three of them were already on there way to help their fellow teammates.
