Zachary was asleep in a cheap motel bed, when he started getting these strange images in his head. He felt as if his body was being transferred to another place, and he tried his hardest to recognize where he was. He soon realized that he had no idea about his whereabouts, and then he suddenly began hearing the voices of two ladies. At first he could barely hear anything, and the sound was a little bit choppy. Then the sounds of the two women talking, and then their voices slowly started to become clearer.
"She has be the one to stop the "One" one of the ladies said.
"Whose the one?"
"Zachary."
"Whose that?"
"A man more powerful than Xavier, and even more deadlier than Magneto. You have two days before he's upon you, and he will strike with a vengeance."
"Isn't he the one that Magneto wanted?"
"Yes. Magneto is going to succeed in finding the man, but when that happens all will be lost."
Zachary broke his concentration, when he realized that someone had been talking about him. He tried to figure out what the two women meant when they said that he was going to strike with a vengeance. He knew that his plan for total world domination was inevitable, but it was basically impossible that these ladies would know anything about his plans.
He also found it rather strange that these two ladies knew his name, when he didn't even know who they were. He wondered if they were a part of the FOH meeting that he was involved in earlier, or if they were a part of some secret coalition that set off to destroy him. More importantly he wondered how he was even able to hear their conversation, and he wondered if this was some new aspect of his powers.
He wanted to see if it was in fact his powers that caused him to hear this strange conversation, and so he burrowed his brows in a frown in order to concentrate. Once again he heard the two female voices. The voices became clear again, and he could discern that this new power was in fact coming from him. The voices ranged out to him, and it almost seemed like they were calling out to him. He listened to the voices once again.
"So are you saying that we must stop him?"
"No. We must kill him, and that's where the Phoenix comes in."
He broke his concentration once again, and then he had to catch his breath. Not only did these two strangers want to annihilate him, but he also realized that one of the world's most wanted criminals wanted him as well.
Zachary didn't know much about mutants, but he knew that Magneto was one of the deadliest criminals out there. He also knew that Magneto was also a stickler for mutant supremacy over all humankind. He could certainly understand why he would want to destroy them all, because he had all the same feelings himself. However, he couldn't shake the feelings of jealousy that he suddenly started to feel. He wanted to have the world all to himself. He didn't like the idea of sharing, and this Magneto fellow was going to find this the hard way. He was also upset that these two strangers talked about icing him, but he promised that they would be the ones to die. That was a promise that he intended to keep.
Remy LeBeau walked back inside the Blackbird, after seeing Logan dash out the plane in one of his berserker rages. He walked back towards the rear of the plane, and stared down at the dead body of Jubilee. He soon felt a tear fall down his face, as he could recall the words of one his teammates. Bishop claimed that Jubilee was going to be the last living X-Men. Then again he also said that he was going to end up betraying the X-Men, but the true traitor was in fact Charles Xavier when he was inhabited by Onslaught. Bishop had been wrong once before, so naturally he was also wrong about Jubilee. The facts were there, and Jubilee was dead. There would be nothing that was going to bring her back now, or so that's what Remy LeBeau thought.
His thoughts were interrupted when he heard a soft voice call out from behind him. He looked back, and noticed that Ororo was trying to sit up. She cried out in pain, and she quickly lay back down. She glanced over at Remy, and tried to talk. However no words escaped her lips, and she questioned Remy with her eyes.
"Shh. Don't talk petite. Remy have ta stitch ya up. Do ya want ta know what happened ta ya chere?"
Ororo shook her head from side to side, and then winced in pain as her stomach began to throb with pain.
"Well as ya can see chere, you've managed to hurt yourself some. You stepped between Sabretooth, and Logan non. Let's just say that you were on the wrong end of Sabretooth's claws, but once I git ya all stitched up you'll be fine."
Ororo looked past Remy, and saw Jubilee lying on the cot. She widened her eyes when she noticed that Jubilee was no longer breathing. Tears sprang from her eyes, and Remy pulled her gently into his arms.
After her tears were dried, Remy reluctantly pulled away from Ororo. She laid back down on the gurney, and grimaced with pain from her lacerations. Remy pulled up her shirt, and immediately looked at her wounds. He noticed that the slash across her stomach was pretty deep.
He stood up and went to the medicine chest, and he pulled out some towels. Then he pulled out the stitches, and a bottle of water in order to cleanse her wounds. He immediately went to her side, and opened the bottle of water. He poured a generous amount of water on the towel, and then he placed the wet towel on her stomach. He pressed down on the towel to get some of the bleeding to stop, and Ororo stifled a painful scream.
He removed the soiled towel, and then poured some more water on another towel. He cleaned around the wound once again more gently this time, and then he discarded the bloodied towel. He then started to thread the needle for the stitches, and once he was done with that he began stitching up her wounds. When that was done he began to sew up her lacerations, and he flinched every time she cried out in pain. He hated the fact that he didn't have any painkillers, but Ororo managed to hold her own and stay strong. He admired her for that. Hell he loved her for that.
Once he was through with that he placed a gauze bandage over her stitches. She soon fell asleep, and Remy was disturbed about what he should do now. He was aware that Logan was out for blood, and he knew that he would have to find him before he had the chance to hurt someone. His main concern was that Logan was going to unintentionally hurt one of his teammates, but he knew that he couldn't leave Ororo alone either. He was torn between making the decision to either leave the Blackbird in search of Logan, or he could stay where he was until the team made it back to the plane.
In the end he decided to stay with Ororo, because he didn't want to leave her alone. He had confidence that his other teammates could protect themselves from Logan, if he had tried to hurt them. Ororo was asleep, and not to mention wounded. He couldn't leave her here defenseless, and so he decided to stay. He stared into her face, and noticed that she was sleeping uncomfortably. He summed it up to the day's recent events. He pulled her shirt down, and he sat down her bed. He grabbed her hand, and then he bent down to give her a soft kiss on the forehead.
"You were there for me petite, and I'll be damned if I'm not gon be there for ya chere."
That's it for chapter 8. In the next chapter there's going to be another death, and yes it's a main character. Stay tuned to find out who it's going to be. Also stay tuned for Logan's berserker rage, and find out what he does while he's in this mode. Even the X-Men will be shocked. Zachary will be on his way to Canada, and Magneto is going to meet up with him. Stay tuned for this head on collision.
