discl: Marvel owns the X-men
Never felt so low
Chapter twelwe-Generation X
By The Opal Jade
I have been here for two days, a little bit longer, o I am not even sure anymore.
And already I have watched my friends to die a terible death.
The FOH did it. And I shall stay in «debt» to them for the rest of my life. I will live to kill them. I will live to avenge them all.
I am now crying in Kitty s arms. I can no longer hold myself. I can no longer bear not to reveal my emotions.
Bobby died. Jubilee died. It was the Egiptian tomb all over again. Just this time it was scarier than ever. I told them about it. The tomb.
But the truth this time. And that those years that I spent as a slave did all those marks on my body that Rogue and Kitty were all worried about.
There are only a few of us now. In the underground part of the mansion. Soon we will go somwhere else. Soon.
We will have our classes and get our education but we will put the training above it all. We need to know how to defend ourselfes now.
I chilled for a while.
Got up. Made something to eat for the profesor. He has not been eating since the atack. He felt guilty about not seeing it on time to stop it.
There was so little of us. We relied on our number but that was nogthing. Storm, the great weather sorceress died. So did Cyclops. Domino feels guilty about calling him a nazi. She thinks that she was responcible for his death. She has too much power in her hands to control it. That was what she said.
I feel a burning in the heart. A dark burning. I can not feel anything but that. Why does the same faith follow me everywhere I go?
Is this my doing?
Profesor Xavier, Jean, Emma, Wolwerine. They are alive but hurt. Blink died. She sacrificed her life to save Amara, Mirage and Rahne. Only Rahne survived in the end. She transformed into a wolf and ran off into the woods. She was mistaken for a trained dog.
Storm destracted the sentinels while the students escaped.
She was doing fine, got help from Cyclops. Then more robots came. And they all shot their beams at her. Her so strong but now so limp body fell deep down.
This morning…she was on the news. Her body was hanged on a flagpole with the sighn on her:«Is this your mutant queen?».
Scott came back to the manor. There was nogthing that he could do now. Not anymore.
I brought the food to the profesor. He told me to take it to Jean. She is tired too.
The darkness on his face. Once he was so peaceful. Now he is a wreck. But we will get trough this. One day….
Jean was crying in the arms of Emma Frost. Emma once tried to seduce Cyk so I heard. And now they are friends that do not bring anything but compasion into their relation.
Cyclops died when he tried to help Jean and the rest of the students out of the building. Jean was holding up a strong shield. She let it fell down only when Meltdown was prepared to fire her power all out. And Cyclops came out of no where. And just got on the way.
Bobby, John and Jonathan were with Caliban and Toad. John was hurt and he could not use his powers. He sacrified his life for Jubilee who died the very next moment. I will miss that little punk. After Boby was killed by the electrical net in the moment that he began making ice (ice and electricity) Chamber found Wolwerine somehow and managed to get out with him and fifty students more. Storm and Cyclops provided protection for them.
Gambit almost got his hand choped off. I do not know how he escaped. He got traped inside the building alone. I think that his power kicked in but more powerful than ever before. He did not want to tell. It is okay. I respect that.
Caliban and Toad got caught alive and they were shiped in a secret laboratory somwhere in Canada. We are trying to find out where.
I remember what it was like.
First there was a big blast. Some walls colapsed. Then there were screams. Pretty soon a Slayer 2000 came into the room. I told Rogue and Kitty to jump out of the window. We were on the second floor. It was not a big height.
I took my sword out. I cut him to pieces, I was so scared and mad that I did not even notice when his adamantium shell cracked from the power of my will. I jumped out.
Rogue and Kitty were still there. A lot of mutants were runing around. But the people from FOH caught them and tied them up. Then they burned them.
I remember what it was like for me. And I survived. Most of them will just die.
They will die. They are dead. They were young. And had a life to live.
I saw Domino, Mirage and Catwoman jumping out of their window. Something from the room fired a laser that killed Catwoman. Guns were held up to Domino and Mirage.
They kicked their asses.
Then one of them put a bullet trough Mirages leg. Domino put her over her back and started runing making the most of her power. And Mirage was shot off dead from her. She was unconciesly used as a shield.
Domino did not look back. She just kept on runing. She joined Rogue, Kitty and me. Kitty phased into a tree and stayed hidden. Rogue was captured by the electrical net. Someone, I do not know who, lifted it off of her with telekinethic powers. Domino evaded the two Slayer 2000 lasers like it was nogthing and picked up Rogue.
I made a shield around me with the feather. I hoped that it will hold. I got the sword out. I cut everything that I could. Then Cyclops blasted them off of me when they got too close. That was the moment when I saw Storm falling to the ground, and the barn burning along with the mutants.
This is when the four of us got together with Wolwerine and the others. He left us to go back inside. He came back with Jean, Emma, Kelis and Evan.
There was no one else to save.
While he was gone, ten Slayer 3000 robots came along. We all formed a circle. Back to back.
I remember how Domino stood in front of me when a miscle should have hit me. It just altered its course. We escaped out of the estate. There were more FOH there.
We kicked their asses but a lot died. Us. Not them. They escaped and left the robots to do the fighting. Asses. Idiots. Murderes. Filthy cowards.
But again I found myself within the living.
Rogue and Kitty were the only ones that did not have a strong power and survived. Kitty could not just phase trough everything and Rogue could not drain everybody there. The poor girl. She was blaiming herself for Bobby s death.
-If I hadn t drained him he would still be alive.
-If you did not drain him we would all be dead.
She looked at me like I said that it is better for him to die than to live. It all mixed her mind a bit. Well…not just a bit.
Gambit, Chamber, Domino, Wolfsbane (Rahne), Evan, Hipnotia, Kitty and me.
We are the only ones of the students to be left standing alive.
We need to fight back. The profesor does not like that posibility. We all said that we want to be full fledged X-men. We wanted to fight.
Rogue said that she wants to go. That is why the profesor flied her off to England, to Moira McTagert. It is gonna be kinda empty without her.
Now here we are. The future X-men.
Hiding underground.
The new generation. We already have our new name.
Generation X.
