Alternate Universe

Wee!!  This story just keeps making less and less sense the more we write it.  It's crazy!  How many more plot holes can we create?  How many more backgrounds can we make up?  How many more people must DIE and SUFFER to make this one stupid little story?!

You all ask for Rogue.  You all just think that because we're crazy, we'll go and honor your requests.  JUST because Rogue's only part in this story so far was walking by with Storm does not mean that we're going to give her a significant role.  Or…will we…?

For your unruly demands, we are going to severely punish Rogue.  Mwa ha ha ha ha…

"But…" started Lance.  "The Planet Rogue wasn't ALWAYS called the Planet Rogue."

"What do you mean, Lance?" asked Scott.

"A long time ago, this planet was inhabited by my people." Lance answered as he tried to hold back his tears.  "It was filled with people just like me.  Everyone here could shake the world so it was a very chaotic society.  One day, a girl was born who could not shake the world.  She was shunned and ostracized and soon grew to hate all us people who COULD shake the world!"

"Who could blame her?" asked Remy with a raised eyebrow.

Lance eyed Remy.  "When she was old enough, she overthrew the king and took over, enslaving all the people!"

"How could she have possibly enslaved the people if they could shake the world and she couldn't?" asked Pietro.

"I can't help but notice that an entire minute has went by since you were last typing." Beast said.  "Is something wrong, Charles?  Writer's block?"

"Not exactly." Professor Xavier said, leaning back in his chair.  "Pietro rose a reasonable question."

Beast and Professor Xavier momentarily brainstormed.

"I know!" said Beast.

"I can always rely on you!" said Professor Xavier.

"Well, Rogue couldn't shake the world, right?" Beast clarified.  Professor Xavier nodded. "You never stated that she didn't have any OTHER powers, did you?  She could have some sort of neutralizing power that makes…"

Beast paused.

"Oh right." He said.  "Rogue DOES have that power."

"Yeah…maybe she found a way to magnify that power though." Professor Xavier continued.  "So there's constantly waves going out sucking the shaking the world power of the people of the Planet Rogue!"

"Yes!" said Beast, bouncing up and down.  "Hurry!  Type more!  I want to know what happens!"

"How do you know so much about Rogue anyway?" asked Bobby.

"Because…" Lance started.  "I used to be king of this planet."

"GASP!" gasped everyone.

"I fled to earth where she wouldn't be able to find me but I can no longer stay in hiding while my people suffer!" Lance declared.  "Because Rogue won't stop with this planet!  Soon she'll move onto other ones!  Like yours, Kitty!"

"You're right!" Kitty said.  "My father, the king, sent me a message earlier and said that Rogue's forces had invaded the planet!"

"For the sake of the universe, we have to stop her!" St. John said.

"You can't defeat Rogue as you are!" Angelina declared.  "In order to save the world, I will have to become my goddess form and drain my power into all of you, giving you the power you need to destroy her!"

"What will happen to you?!" St. John said, grabbing her hands.

"It doesn't matter!" Angelina answered bravely.  "If I can give you the power to go on, I don't care what happens to me!"  She let go of St. John's hands and took a few steps backwards.  Tears flowing, she closed her eyes and the whole group was soon engulfed by a white glow that surrounded them.

"ANGELINA!!" St. John called.  But the white glow soon disappeared and Angelina was gone.  St. John took a deep breath because he knew that Angelina would not want him to mourn over her death because it went to such a good cause.  The eight looked at what they were now wearing to see they all had suits of a different color and were equipped with all sorts of weapons.

"Wow!" said Scott who was red and held a long sword in his hand.  "I feel so pumped!"

"You're right!" said Kurt as he flung his nun chucks around crazily.  "My power is surging!  I feel as though I could teleport anywhere on the planet right now!"  Then he looked down at what he was wearing.  "Blue?!  Great.  I'm blue." He paused.  "Da ba dee."

"Lance, maybe you should stay behind." Said Kitty who was dressed in pink as she held out the nozzle of the flamethrower she had.  "It's too dangerous."

"No!" said Lance who was in green as he loaded his bow up with a green arrow.  "I have to help my people!"

"We should split up into two groups." Said Remy who was in black as he swung the long stick he had as if an enemy was attacking.  (What OTHER weapon would he get?!)  "One group could stop Rogue and the other could free the people."

"I could make a team of one to find the prisoners." Said Pietro who was dressed in silver and wielded a long stick with a trident-like blade at the end.

"Yeah but what are you going to do once you find them?" Bobby said, crossing his arms.  He was wearing gold and held a large, heavy axe.  "You need someone to bust down the doors and stuff!"

"And what are YOU going to do?" asked St. John who was wearing orange and pushed his two daggers into their sheaths just because he could.

"For your information, I used to be a weightlifter." Said Bobby as if he were offended.  "So someone of my strength should have no trouble busting down doors!"

"But that was YEARS ago." Said St. John.  "Back BEFORE the accident."

"I can do it, if I believe!" said Bobby as he flexed his muscles tightly so that his shirt completely ripped off.

"Well, you'll need someone with knowledge of computers." Said St. John.  "I used to be top computer engineer for the President of the United States!"

"We'll take one more." Said Pietro.  "Preferably someone with excellent stealth."

"Well." Said Kurt.  "I WAS an international spy for twelve years…"

"You're in!" said Pietro.  Then he turned to his team which consisted of himself, St. John, Bobby and Kurt and nodded.  "We're going in.  The rest of you wait here for the signal."

"What's the signal?" asked Scott.

"I'll send up flare!" said St. John excitedly.  "I'll make it something creative so you know it's us and there's no way anyone can trick you!"

"All right!" said Lance as he handed Kurt a metal device.  "My people don't speak the King's English so you'll need this to communicate with them.  It's a recording of my own voice telling them that their king has come to rescue them."

"We shouldn't be too long." Said Bobby as the four of them ran off.

"Good luck, mon ami…" said Remy as he waved them off.

Meanwhile, in Lord Rogue's castle, she was very much aware of the intruders.

"IMPOSSIBLE!" she bellowed angrily as she viewed the surveillance cameras.  "They've managed to not only get past all of my security but also survive my super motorcycle mayhem team!"

"That's because they went in through the back way." Said a minion who was chained up and forced to work for Rogue.  "If they had gone through the planned entrance, they would SURELY be dead!"

"Well send out my SPECIAL squad and make sure they don't go any further!" yelled Rogue as she whipped the terrible minion that had dared to speak.

Pietro, St. John, Bobby and Kurt were walking, braving Lord Rogue's horrible lair when suddenly, a group of what looked like men dressed entirely in gray fell from the sky and started attacking them.

Fortunately, the four of them were quite skilled in many forms of martial arts so they were able to fend off the attackers who were making incessant babbling noises.

"There's too many of them!" Pietro said as he flipped up and kicked three in a row.  "We'll never defeat them all!"

"St. John!" Bobby yelled as he picked up five gray men and heaved them into a rock causing them to explode into sparks upon impact.  "The signal!"

"Yes, of course!" Said St. John in a flustered voice as he looked around.  He paused for a moment.  "I KNOW I saw one of you with a flamethrower earlier!"

Everyone took a moment to look around and shake their heads.  "Must have been one of the other guys." Suggested Kurt.

"Great…" said St. John.  "Sorry guys!  No flare!"

Suddenly, from the skies, Lord Rogue descended upon them all.  She was holding a large stick with a moon at the end of it.

"MAGIC WAND!!" she yelled as she threw the wand down to the ground.  "MAKE ME GROW TO INTENSE SIZE!!"

The ground began rumbling and almost out of nowhere, Lord Rogue growing until she was the size of a four-story building!

"Uh-oh, guys." Said Bobby.  "I don't know what to do now."

________________________________________________________________________

"What ARE they going to do, Charles?" asked Beast who, by now, was at the edge of his seat with anticipation.

"You know, Hank…" started Professor Xavier.  "I didn't know at first, but now I have a pretty good idea!"

"WHAT?!" demanded Beast.

"Do you want me to tell you and spoil the surprise or would you rather read and find out?"

"I want to find out on my own but is this going to be a new genre because we're not being very consistent."

"I know." Said Professor Xavier.  "By now it's unavoidable but yes… it IS going to be a new genre."

"What genre is that?" asked Beast.

"I believe this would go into the 'parody' genre." Said Professor Xavier.

"Oh this should be good!"

Oh GUESS WHAT!!  We have been getting a bunch of reviews for 'Red and Silver' and it is been doing better than we thought.  One person has realized that this is a double story.  Two people have reviewed us very nicely asking for us to update and so forth.  And one person was just CRAZY and knew about our evil plots the entire time but reviewed our story anyway.  I haven't read the story without Beast and Professor Xavier yet but I guess it gives the story a whole different feel when those two aren't randomly inserted in the middle to discuss where the story will go next.  I just can't wait until these poor people are bombarded with the SciFi chapter.
