Chapter 20: Mutant Holocaust


Well the general consensus, that is the only three-friggen reviews I got, says to keep this story up and finish it off at my own pace. Well I'm going to start tying everything together but rest assured, we got at least 6-7 chapters more to go. Now on with the show.

Dedication: Pixiechick and Jayman, Thanks for reviewing. You to sliderjj.

Summary: AoA in the Evolution Universe. 'Nuff said.

Apocalypse Island


"Are you ok?" Scott Summers asked as he helped Jean Grey up.

"Yea. There was a sudden Psionic backlash on the Asteral Plane. Knocked me for a loop." Jean said as she smiled. "But I'm ok."

"Good." Cyclops said as he cut loose an Optic blast that missed Jean's head by a mere few inches. The blast slammed into Sam Guntrie's spine, severing it.

"Holy shit..." Jean muttered as she grabbed a small section of sizzled hair. "You killed him."

"He would have done the same. Survival of the fittest." Scott said as he turned around.

"Apocalypse drilled that into your head, didn't he?"

"If you want to survive here, you can recite it upside down in your sleep with the lights off." Scott said as he led the way down another corridor.

"Damn." Jean thought as she followed him. "I'm glad he's with us."

Apocalypse Island, The Watchtower


"It's all clear." Toad shouted as Pietro sped up to where he was. Nightcrawler teleported up and Storm flew over.

"Now we wait for our distraction." Pietro said as an explosion rocked the tower.

"Guess Evan, Wanda and Meltdown are good at destruction." Storm said as she landed.

"Tabitha's got a lot of rage inside her." Toad said as they moved toward the tower. They were interrupted by a loud explosion above them. They turned to see the burnt for of storm, falling to the ground.

"STORM!!!" Pietro shouted as he sped over to her body, which was still sizzling. "Ororo?"

"Hall. Cost." Storm said as she motioned to the sky, before she passed away.

"AUNTIE O!!!" Evan shouted as he ran over to her body, Pietro detained him from getting close.

"No Evan. She's gone. You don't want to see her." Pietro said as he held his friend back.

"Ah, isn't this touching." Holocaust said as he landed on the ground. "Its a fucking Kodak Moment."

"Hey, Halley!" Holocaust turned to see Toad barreled into him. "Remember me?" Toad screamed as he spit acidic slime that began to eat away at Holocaust's Armor.

"Damn you whelp!" Holocaust shouted as he slammed Toad's Face into brick wall.

"Todd!!!" Meltdown shouted as she barraged Holocaust with energy bombs. "I already lost my lover, I'm not going to lose my friend!" Tabitha shouted as she kept the Barrage up. Wanda and Evan joined her, raining Bone spikes, time bombs and Hex Bolts onto the Horseman of War. Meanwhile Pietro checked on Toad.

"You ok, Frog-Face?" Pietro asked as he rolled Toad over.

"Eat me Speedy." Toad said with a weak smile, his nose was broken but otherwise he was ok. Then Wanda went flying by.

"Wanda!!" Pietro shouted as he ran over to where she slammed into the wall.

"Pi-Pietro?" Wanda asked weakly, Quicksilver leaning over her broken body.

"Wanda. Hold on." Pietro said as he held his twin's hand.

"Tell father I'm sorry." Wanda said before she closed her eyes.

"Wanda? WANDA!!!" Pietro shouted as he held her broken form close to him.

"Wanda?" Kurt asked as he teleported over to the two. "Now you die."

"Kurt what are you going to do?" Pietro asked as he turned to the ebony skinned mutant.

"I'm going to find out once and for all if there is a god, muin friend." Kurt said as he teleport over to where Holocaust was about to finish Tabitha.

"KURT, DON'T!!!" Pietro shouted as he tried to run to where Holocaust was, but he was to late.

"What the hell?" Holocaust asked as he felt Nightcrawler grabbed a hold of him.

"Wanda Lenshuer was one of the only people who was ever kind to me. Now you will pay, monster!!!" Kurt Darkholme shouted as he teleported with Holocaust in tow. Before Holocaust knew it he found himself teleported into the center of the sun. He was instantly vaporized. So was Nightcrawler.

"We did it." Toad said in shock. "We took down Holocaust."

"At the price of three of our own though." Pietro said. He had lost his sister and one of his best friends.

"So what now?" Tabitha asked.

"Lets send Factor X to hell." Todd said. I've been meaning to give Beast a little payback for what he did to me."

"Lets go X-Men!" Pietro shouted as Evan, Tabitha, and Toad all followed him.

"I ain't no friggen X-Man, yo." Toad said in the background as they ran toward the tower that housed Factor X.
