Chapter 26: A Fallen Phoenix

Apocalypse Island
"I hate myself..." Wolverine thought as he ran through the ruined tower. "I knew Apocalypse was coming, I smelt the mother fucker. But I left the others alone to fight him. But I need to find Jeanie..." Logan thought as he ducked under a low pass. "But hell is she gonna hate me..."

"MOVE IT PEOPLE!!!" Duncan Matthew's shouted as he fired his plasma rifle at the fast coming infinites. "ANYTIME NOW BANNER!!!" Duncan shouted as he ran behind the mob of innocent people, occasionally stopping to fire at the Infinite patrol that was approaching them. Suddenly the infinites burst into flame as massive purple robot's appeared from the sky. "I love you, you God Damn pieces of metal." Duncan Muttered as the sentinel's landed and defended the fleeing human's from the Infinite patrol's that where hunting them.
"DUNC!!!" Nick Fury shouted as he ran over to Duncan. "Were ready to enter orbit." Fury spat as he blasted an Infinite that got through the sentinel wall.
"Right, let's move out!!!" Duncan Matthew's shouted as he boarded the ship. He walked into the command core where Dr. Richards, Banner, and Pym were all gathered with the ship's creator, Tony Stark. "Will this bucket of bolt's hold up in space Stark?" Duncan asked as he walked over to the armor-clad individual.
"It will, the only thing I'm worried about is whether or not the Infinites will shoot us down before we can get into orbit." Stark said as he walked over to a console.
"Dinae worry about that." Moria McTagert Trask said as she walked toward the two men. "The Sentinel's will keep us safe both going to and inside of Orbit." Moria said.
"Right. "Then let's get the remaining human population out of here..." Duncan said. The Human resistance had long ago decided if Apocalypse grew to powerful, they would leave earth, and then turn it barren with a barrage of Nuclear weapons. That plan was know in action. The ship they were on, Odyssey, was capable of holding over a million humans. There were two more ships exactly like this one and they were already in space, circling the earth. Once Odyssey was in Orbit, all three ships would nuke the earth and leave it Barren. Then once the earth was safe to live on again, they would return. A risky plan, but it was the only one the human's had left.
"Everybody pray..." Stark said as he flipped the switch that started the ship. With a loud roar of thunder the Odyssey took off into space. Once it had cleared the atmosphere, the sentinel's followed in into space.
"Let's convene the council..." Duncan said, turning to the others. "Maybe the X-Men can stop Apocalypse before we execute the Omega plan." Duncan said with a grim look as he walked off deck.

"Jean, get behind me!" Scott Summer's ordered as he blasted The Beast.
"Ouch." Beast stated as he landed on his spine. "That. Really. Hurt's." Beast muttered as he got up and attacked Cyclops.
"Then you're going to need some aspirin for this..." Cyclops muttered as he blasted The Beast directly in the head. Beast's body slumped to the ground, missing its head.
"Remind me not to piss you off..." Jean muttered as she stared at Beast's body.
"Let's go, we only have a short time before Shadow King will find us." Cyclops said as he turned to face Jean. A look of Horror was plastered on her face.
"GET DOWN!!!" Jean shouted as she pushed him out of the way. Cosmic energy tore through her, sending her into a wall. She slumped down like a rag doll.
"JEAN!!!" Scott shouted as he turned to face her attacker. "ALEX!!!"
"Hello Brother." Havoc said as he charged more energy.
"Damn it Alex, Jean was the only person keeping this area safe from the Psionic Backlash of the Shadow King! Is dying the only thing we are ever going to do together!!!" Cyclops shouted as he tore his visor off and cut loose on his brother. Havoc dogged the energy blast and pulled out a gun.
"Not even Judas." Havoc muttered as he emptied the clip at Cyclops. Scott Summers fell to the ground dead. His hand was just barely touching Jean Grey's dead hand as Havoc walked over to him. "I got you, you mother fucker... I GOT YOU!!!" Havoc screamed. (SNICKT) "Wha..." Havoc muttered as he stared at the three claw's emerging from his chest. "I got him..."
"And I got you, Bub." Logan said as he severed Havok's spine. Havok fell to the ground in a heap as Logan walked over to Jean. He held his lovers hand and let a silent tear slip down his eye as he remebered a myth he had heard as a child. A myth of a mystical bird of fire, that would rise from it's own ashes after it had fallen. But alas, Jean Grey was no Phoenix.
