I do not own X-men evolution or its characters, and I only lay claim to the
OC Tyler Klimov. The OC's that show up in my story will be accredited to at
the bottom after every chapter once they've appeared.
Son gomay videl Goku- No, Ana is not in the next chapter, if you do see her, it would be more around chapters 11-12, there are some other things that need to be written before new characters come in.
Pyroizhot- sorry, but I'm gonna have to postone the arrival of your character too, but hey, at least we know he's coming right?
Sorry if this chapter seems a bit focused on Tyler, but this is supposed to be his chapter.
A Dark Future Chapter 8- Rumble in the Concrete Jungle
Tyler jumped off the pickup with Gambit and Pyro following. He walked into the night city and stood looking at the full moon. "What's up with ya mate? Ya ain't said much," Pyro asked. "I don't know, something is going to happen tonight, I can feel it," Tyler said with a face that looked deadly serious. "You're freaking us out here monami," Gambit said. "I don't know why, you two go ahead, I'm gonna go take a walk, Wanda and Piotr is in the city," Tyler then said. "How do you know?" Pyro asked. "I don't know," Avatar said. Gambit and Pyro gave each other puzzled looks and quickly went deeper into New York for answers.
Specter landed on a building, feeling new power in himself for some reason. He looked over the massive city of millions and didn't know why, but felt a tragedy coming. He was afraid of people right now. "There still people," He said to himself. "But how do I know something is going to happen?" He asked himself.
DJ jumped out of his hijacked car and looked around the night Downtown area. He growled lightly to himself. "There here," He said.
War stood in front of DJ with 4 people behind him, all too familiar indeed, Colossus, the Scarlet Witch, Sunspot and Night Crawler. All where in there battle attire, thought you can't really tell with Roberto. Kurt also had something very interesting, a very sharp and very deadly sword.
"The first casualty of war I see," War said to DJ. "Casualties," Came a voice from above and Specter landed beside DJ. "Mike?" DJ asked. "Hey DJ, can't let ya die alone can I?" Michael said with a grin. "Now then, let's stop these guys," Michael added. "Yea," DJ said with enthusiasm. "Do you two idiots actually think you're a match for the horsemen of Apocolypse? Let alone me?" War snapped. Just then a glowing card landed in front of him and exploded. War jumped back and turned to his right. "Another?" He said looking crossed. "More than one monami," Gambit said and picked up a pipe and charged it and threw it viciously it at War, it exploded on contact and War stumbled back. "The name is Gambit. Remember it." Remy said looking serious. Pyro came out behind him. "This looks about right, 4 for 4," War said grinning. "Prove yourselves horsemen, as worthy of our master," War said gesturing to the 4 horsemen. "Yes," They all said in a zombie like voice.
All battles take place during the same time and will be marked with a *** to specify who is fighting.
***Gambit vs. Sunspot***
Remy saw the man transform, he thought he could only do it in sunlight; he looked at the full moon and snarled. "Shit," He said and turned back to be drop kicked by Sunspot and hit a wall hard nearly breaking through. He got up groaning and noted that was not Sunspot's full power. 'He must only get a fraction of it in the moonlight,' Remy thought. *Note, Roberto in the comics actually can do that*
Gambit got ready for Roberto's next attack as the solar powered horsemen rushed towards him. Gambit quickly pulled out his staff and jumped into the air, he did a spin and landed low to the ground and knocked out Sunspot's legs with his staff, before Sunspot even hit the ground Gambit swung the staff upwards and caught Roberto in the back of the neck. Roberto spun quickly in the air and landed on his face with a sickening thud. Gambit let out a sigh until Sunspot got up glaring at him. "Shit," Gambit said and Sunspot came at him again.
Roberto landed a hard punch on Gambit's cheek and sent the Cajun flying back, Gambit landed on his feet and pulled out 3 cards and charged them, Roberto on a mad dash came at him and Gambit threw the cards, one hit each leg and one hit his chest. Roberto's legs where knocked out by the explosion first and then the card in the chest blasted him flying back and he hit the side of a moving car and smashed right through the drivers side, killing the driver. Gambit frowned at the sight. "Oops," He said to himself.
Sunspot got out of the wreck and picked up the small car and lifted it above his head and turned to Gambit. "Today is not Remy's day," Gambit said frowning. Roberto threw the car and Remy barely dodged when he got up Robert landed a vicious attacked on Gambit's face and attacked viciously with punches and kicks, Gambit felt a few of his ribs break and his left arm and went flying back from one last hit that sent him into the side of a SUV, Gambit dented into it.
Remy breathing heavily with a head wound that let blood down his forehead now and he panted as he got up. "Alright, come and get me you stupid son of a bitch," Gambit said. The Mesmero controlled Sunspot rushed towards him and did a jump kick. Gambit pulled out of the way and Roberto kicked into the SUV. Gambit saw his chance; he put his hands on the vehicle and kinetically charged it. He ran for all he was worth and hid around a corner. The SUV exploded in a massive blast. Remy turned around the corner and looked at the wreckage and sat against the wall and let out a sigh of relief. Just then, Roberto stumbled out, he looked injured, but sadly still battle worth. "You've gotta be shitting me," Gambit said looking very pissed off.
Sunspot rushed towards him and Gambit rolled to the side as Roberto put a hole through the wall he was leaning on. Gambit returned with a hit from his staff to Sunspot's ribs. Roberto snarled and backhanded Remy away. Gambit got to his feet and knew he had to come up with a plan. Sunspot came towards him once more and Gambit looked at his stiff and sighed, he charged it and threw it like a spear, the staff hit Roberto right in the abdomen and exploded after Roberto went back and gasped.
Remy pulled out 15 cards and charged them in his still useable hand. He charged them and threw them directly at the exploded area, another massive explosion ensued. Gambit pulled out 12 more and Roberto ran out of the flames roaring, he charged the cards and threw them at the badly injured Roberto at point blank range. The explosion blasted out hitting both and knocking both out.
***Tyler***
Tyler walked over to a motorcyclist and elbowed him off his sports bike; he then saw some explosions coming from down town and revved the bike. He took off at full speed weaving between cars and pulled a wheeling and managed to jump one as he headed there. He noted that the police had now cut off the area and continued to drive and took a jump off a police car and continued heading towards down town, spite some small arms fire shooting at him.
***Colossus vs. Specter***
Specter dodged from the side as the 7'5 metallic Russian charged him. He had no idea how to stop this monster. He pointed his hands at him to block when Colossus made his next charge and two massive energy bolts blasted out, hitting Colossus in the chest and making him fall over. Michael looked at his hands; they had just fired two orange energy bolts. 'That's the new power I felt in me,' He thought looking shocked. He had no more time to think as he was punched by Colossus and sent flying into the air. He held his ribs in pain, 2 broken, from one punch. "Dude, that was not cool," Specter groaned floating in the sky. He flew to the side as Piotr threw a car at him. "Damn Sunday drivers," He growled and flew down and right past Colossus. Colossus attempted to attack but Specter was too fast. Before Colossus could turn he was blasted in the back and sent flying forward and hit a bus, breaking into it. The people inside had recently been evacuated, so no one was injured. Specter then opened up on the bus with everything he had.
Energy blast after energy blast hammered into the vehicle, it had long since exploded but Specter kept firing. Colossus walked out and pushed through the blasts and was now coming right at Specter, who was shooting for all he was worth. He turned invisible, but for some reason Colossus could still follow him. *Mesmero is guiding him through a mind link to show where Michael is, based on where he detects his mind*.
Specter flew into the air and turned visible, realizing it was pointless to be invisible. 'Alright, how do you stop a crazed man made of metal who could literally tear you in two with a gesture of his arms?' He asked himself. 'You don't,' His mind reminded him. He gulped and dodged another car that was thrown at him. He saw the car land on the street totally destroyed. 'Gravity is your friend,' He thought grinning and flew directly at Colossus.
Specter flew 50 feet at 200 mph into a jump kick, breaking his own leg and Colossus fell over from the force. Specter hobbled to one foot. "Not my smartest plan," He said to himself frowning at Colossus got up. He then got another plan, a much better one.
Michael flew at Colossus once again and picked him up from behind. He flew directly into the sky holding Colossus. He could barely keep control of the flight at the Russian's arms flailed and hit him once or twice, each time he felt the bone snap where it hit, his shoulder was broken but now he still pushed on, they where 900 feet in the air. "Nose dive!" Michael said laughing as he went straight towards the ground and let go of Colossus about 200 feet from the ground after flying towards the ground at top speed. He pulled up and managed to slow down enough but landed himself in the park and lay there injured and barely conscious, bleeding badly as well, just hoping for help to arrive.
Colossus stumbled to his feet; he had hit the ground with the force of a meteorite. He stumbled around for a few more moments and just collapsed.
***Pyro vs. Wanda***
Pyro let flames run out of flame throwers grinning manically at Wanda. Wanda just stood there in a zombie like fashion. "Come on Shella, this ain't any fun unless you do something," Pyro said frowning. She put her hands up and the flames moved down and attacked him. Pyro was not affected thanks to his suit. "Sorry love, you've gotta do better then that," Pyro said. "Right, now I'll get you for that," Pyro said and went right up to her and was blasted by a hex beam and went flying back. "Right then," Pyro said shaking off the attack.
Wanda walked towards him and fired another hex beam. Pyro dodged to the side and fired his flamers at her, she hexed the flames and they turned into snakes of fire and started to attack Pyro who shut down the fire and snarled at her. "This ain't over love, I'll get ya," Pyro snarled and decided on another approach, physical combat. He came up to her and threw a punch, using her abilities of probability, Pyro slipped and broken his pinky finger on his left hand. "Right, I'll do you for that," Pyro said angrily and managed to land a hard knee on Wanda's stomach. She gasped and stepped back holding her mid section. He then pointed his flamers at her and blasted them at her. Wanda was taken by surprise and hit by the flames and rolled back and to avoid them. She was not burned but that hurt and she got ready for his next move.
Pyro laughed against and let loose with 2 more fireballs and she saw her opening. He was ready to dodge a hex bolt, but not this. Wanda ran directly at him and past the two fireballs. Pyro didn't know how to react when she landed a hand kick on his stomach. She then hexed him at point blank range and sent him flying back and his head first into a car. Pyro passed out.
***Zero vs. Night Crawler***
Zero dodged a swing of Kurt's sword just barely, it cut one of his long bangs off through and that scared him. He rolled backwards with his enhanced agility and Kurt came in with his sword, slashing at him. He barely managed to dodge as the two agile warriors went through the street.
DJ kicked Kurt away and put his hand up, a moment later a like solid spike of rock shot out of the ground under Kurt who teleported out of the way of the impaling spear like creation. Kurt teleported behind DJ and slashed him down the back, DJ did a strong back kick and sent his fellow furred mutated human back into a street lamp. Kurt shook it off and got up once more and came at DJ. He teleported around him with bursts of speed and DJ jumped to the side just as Kurt came in with a slash, but before DJ could do another thing Kurt double kicked him in the side. DJ went back and he himself hit a lamppost.
DJ snarled as he got up and ducked just as Kurt's blade cut the post off, where his head used to be. DJ looked shocked and scared, that blade was too dangerous. He noted a small fire from a destroyed car from the fight between Colossus and Michael, he pointed his hand at it and the flames drew off and blasted Kurt into a wall, making him drop his sword.
Zero stood in front of Kurt now, and felt blood coming down his back under his leather armor like battle attire. Kurt's eyes shot open and the furry mutant tackled the slightly larger furry mutant to the ground. Kurt punched DJ in the face and DJ flipped him over and landed a hard elbow on Kurt's face. Kurt's head tilted to the side, his tongue came out of his mouth and his eyes rolled into his head. He was still breathing, but the blow had knocked him out.
Zero had been surprised about his power; he didn't have that kind of control over earth and fire before the fight. He turned to see Wanda standing victorious over his supposed enemy Pyro. 'Well then, looks like it's down to me. and her,' He thought.
***Back to normal real time, beyond this point nothing is in the meanwhile stage unless I dictate otherwise***
The Zombie like Wanda stared at DJ who gulped, from what he had heard, this was the Scarlet Witch, and that was not good based on what his friends said she could do. "Alright then," He said looking slightly frightened. "Let's do this," He added looking slightly fearful. "No," A voice boomed from above.
War landed between the two. "This was pathetic, you all fail, so you will all die," War said. "None of you are worthy of the master," He added. "What ever man, you're kinda insane you know that dude?" DJ said and was blasted by an energy beam from him. Wanda dezombified and looked around. "Where am I?" She asked and was blasted. Mesmero came out of the shadows. "Go to the top of the world once more, and asked the master on what to do," War said. "Of course herald of the almighty," Mesmero said and disappeared into the night. "Now to purge this area of life," War said until he heard something from the background. He listened carefully, it sounded odd, and it was a buzzing like sound mixed with that of an engine. 'A motorcycle?' He asked himself mentally.
War turned to see a blue motorcycle stop about 15 feet away and a large man got off of it and walked towards him. He stopped after about 5 feet.
Tyler looked at the unconscious DJ, who seemed to be coming too. He glanced over and then noticed Wanda, and then Piotr; he also noticed Pyro, Kurt, Sunspot and Gambit. Gambit was starting to come to, while Kurt was flat out with Sunspot and Pyro. He noticed Colossus get up and looked very badly injured.
Tyler glanced at War and narrowed his eyes. He took off his sunglasses and threw them away. "I'm going to kill you," Avatar said. War laughed slightly. "Is that so? I very much doubt you could end my life. no one alive has been good enough to end my life... except Apocolypse," He said sounding disappointed. A wind blew past and Tyler's Trench coat blew back slightly. "Well, then I guess you haven't fought me yet have you?" Tyler asked. War chuckled lightly. "So be it, you will die here and now then I suppose," War said and pulled up his large axe. "Talk is cheap," Tyler stated. "So it is," War said and dashed forwards.
Tyler stood there as War swung his axe upwards. He knew it couldn't hurt it. It swung up the side of his face and he titled back in pain and felt a warm sensation on his face.
Tyler put his hand to where he felt the sensation. He then pulled it away. "Blood?" He gasped. He felt up where he'd been cut. He had been struck starting just under the eye and between the right side the noise; it went up the noise around where the forehead starts, and ended at the forehead, it was in total 3 inches long, sadly about the height difference between he and War. Tyler was in shock, he was supposed to be impenetrable. "How?" He gasped at War. "What do you mean? Weapons do that you fool," He snapped. "I'm supposed to be impenetrable!" He shouted in a rage. "This axe cuts through anything," War responded smirking. Tyler snarled and went at him. He dodged under a swing from the axe and grabbed it. He and War stood there struggling over the weapon and Tyler managed to knock him over. War released the axe and Tyler threw it as hard as he could on a 90 degree angle to the sky. "NO!" War shouted angrily. "That was a gift. from the master. how DARE you!" He snapped.
"I no longer will jest, this will end, and you will die," War said. "Are you prepared to see my true powers?" War asked. "Remember, I said talk is cheap," Tyler said smirking. War just grinned. "We'll see," He said.
With incredible speed War slammed his fist into Tyler's stomach; he then elbowed him in the top of the head, since Tyler had bent over in pain from the first hit, and kicked him 30 feet down the street. Tyler jumped to his feet from the ground and snarled. War rushed towards him and threw a punch, Tyler ducked under it and threw one of his own, and War dodged his head to the side. Tyler snarled and kicked, but War was too fast, War threw one of his own and Avatar jumped over him and did a flip in the air, landed behind him a few feet away, turned around and rushed towards him. War turned and jumped a good 10 feet back, and then to the side. Tyler rushed at top speeds and caught up, throwing a punch, but War was too fast and moved once again. Avatar followed again and this time caught War in the face with a hard kick that sent the horsemen back.
Avatar threw a punch and it was dodged and then threw another to the same fate. War did a side kick but Tyler this time dodged; he then dodged a punch and came in with one of his own, which was dodged. Tyler quickly noticed that War was rebounding from the attack and kicked at Tyler, who luckily dodged. Tyler punched War in the face that went back and then ran full speed at Tyler and kicked him in the face, sending him flying back.
Tyler snarled as he picked himself up and ran at War, he attacked with blinding fury with punch after punch and War barely dodged each one. Tyler over extended one punch and War jumped out of the way, Avatar saw a chance for a move to come in and followed quickly and attempted to kick War's leg out, War jumped over the leg and kicked Tyler in the back of the head, Avatar skidded forward his feet dragging along the ground.
Both Avatar and War then glared at one another from afar. Avatar rushed at the ancient mutant in a rage and threw a right with fury backing it, War put up his arms and blocked it, the two skidded along the ground even after trying to stop and Tyler pulled back his other arm and threw a hard left to an unguarded area in the block, and caught War right up the side of the right side of his face, War's head tilted back in pain and Tyler started to jab him in the face with his right, hitting him 4 times. Tyler pulled back his left for another assault while still jabbing and threw it, War ducked under it and kicked Avatar into the sky.
Tyler fell to the ground and quickly jumped to his feet. He saw War just as he came in with an overextended kick, he moved slightly out of the way and with all his strength slammed an elbow into War's chest and sent him 40 feet into the side of a building.
Everyone who was conscious watched in awe of the fight, they where moving so fast and yet so gracefully. "That does it!" War shouted as he pulled himself out of wall. Tyler didn't understand he looked confused until War put his hand up and pointed at him, a green ball energy appeared in his hand. Tyler quickly turned around. "RUN AWAY NOW!" He shouted to the other mutants. The energy ball was released and Tyler dodged, it hit a building behind him and it exploded outwards. Everyone fled as best they could before the blinding blast of light and energy overtook them.
Tyler got up and his shirt and trench coat had been blown off by the blast. Ruined building all around him for as far as the eye could see, he saw dead humans hanging out of the buildings and looked around frantically for his fellow mutants. He then turned to see War getting up. War immediately turned to him and jumped at him.
War threw a punch while in his jump and Tyler blacked it tilting back with the strength of the hit. Avatar returned the punch with his own hard right, which was barely blocked by War. War then punched Tyler in the shoulder, it was aimed for his chest but Tyler had turned in time. Tyler turned back and threw a left punch which hit a right punch from War, the two punches had collided.
War and Tyler then threw a punch at the same time and hit each other in the face and both went about 5 feet back. They both hit the ground and jumped to there feet. Tyler and War then roared at the same time and ran towards each other. Tyler attacked with ferocity and so did War, both throwing punches with lighting speeds but both dodged and blocked, anyone from the side would see they where going too fast for the eye to keep up with coherently.
Tyler tilted and moved with the punches as he blocked and threw them, tilting back and forth with War, they where throwing about 2 punches a second each. At last Tyler caught a punch from War and threw one of his own; it was then caught by War.
The two snarled at each other and locked hands in a test of strength both growling and looking at each other with hate in there eyes.
Tyler and War where pushing themselves to the limit and Tyler started to be pushed back, it seemed like his arms where going to buckle. He then remembered something, after that blast, he saw no sign of Wanda or anyone, and if that was so.
He roared in agonizing rage and pushed forward. War looked shocked as his glowing green eyes turned to ones of panic as Tyler pushed forward, War's arms buckled under the pressure as the two inhumanely strong mutants locked in battle. Tyler then did one last show of power; he pushed War's arms in, and then pulled out from the sides and then back. Avatar tore War's arms completely off and blood blasted out as War screamed out in pain, Tyler discarded the arms. War continued to scream as blood sprayed out of his body and covered over almost everything. Tyler then pulled back his right arm and went low to the ground and narrowed his eyes. "Game over," Tyler said and went straight at War and shot his arm out and it extended into a massive uppercut that hit War in the cheek, crushing his cheek bone and sending him flying into the air and blood still spewed out of his body and he spiraled in the air. 200 feet into the sky he stopped his climb towards the heavens and dropped like a rock, he landed head first, already dead.
Tyler looked around frantically; his body was aching from everything. He looked around frantically. "Wanda! Gambit! SOMEONE!" He shouted in shock. He looked around almost crying at the thought of loosing his friends. He then noticed something in the corner of his eye in a destroyed building he ran over and quickly pulled some debris off. He found a broken Scarlet Witch lying there with multiple small cuts. He quickly tried to assess the damage that had been done. He checked her pulse and then noted that she had 4 broken ribs, her left wrist was broken, and so was her right ankle. He also noted, just be common sense, she most likely had a concussion. He glanced over the area for anyone else, anything. He had no idea how far that explosion even went, no clue at all, or where he was. From what he gathered, this wasn't where it originated. He carefully pulled Wanda up into his arms and held her tightly to him. "Don't die on me, I know for a fact I can't wake you up with that concussion, I know I should but you wouldn't be able to wake up anyway," He said to her unconscious form. "Just don't die," Tyler said sadly and walked down the street, looking for a vehicle that was not completely destroyed.
Tyler found a car and carefully put her in the back seat. He got in the front and easily hot wired it, simply uncovering the steering wheel and manually starting it. He then noted something, he was badly injured, he could feel fractures all over his body, and the pain was almost unbearable, he then noted he had dozens of small bruises and 2 or 3 huge ones. He hit the gas and wondered where to go, but then knew one place where he could get safe haven, or at least hoped it was.
DJ woke up slowly; it smelled like dust and death around him. He opened his eyes completely and focused to see an unconscious Pyro lying in front of him. "The hell?" He asked himself. "Are you alright?" Kurt asked sitting there. "You!" DJ said in fear. "Vhat?" Kurt asked. "You tried to kill me!" He said in shock. "Listen, I voke up about a fifteen minutes ago, when I did, I saw you, and Pyro near one another with a big explosion coming tovards you, so I teleported us out of zere," Kurt said. "You vhere the only one's I saw," Kurt then added. "There where others," DJ said sadly. "Vhat happened?" Kurt asked, holding the sword he'd woken up with closely. "Don't ask. not right now," DJ said. "Alright DJ, but I'm going to have to find a vay to contact the professor, I'm sure he'll let you and Pyro go vonce he gets us," Kurt said. "Yea. sure, whatever," DJ said. The idea of facing his cousin wasn't a pleasant one. "And. thanks for saving me back there," DJ said.
Gambit woke up in a place with burning trees near him. Colossus stood there with a young man over his shoulder, the mutant Michael, who was bleeding rather extensively. "I will carry you to a place where we can get help," Colossus said. Gambit couldn't move he felt too strapped with pain. His jaw was also broken so he couldn't even reply, and he barely got off a nod before slipping back into unconsciousness.
Roberto woke up floating in the Hudson. "What the hell?" He asked. He immediately made his way to shore, and tried to remember what he'd been doing.
2 hours later,
Tyler pulled up to the Brotherhood boarding house, on the way rescue crews and police/firemen where franticly headed towards NYC, including the military. Tyler noted while driving, that at least 66% of New York was destroyed, and down town was almost completely leveled, it was a miracle anyone but him, War and Colossus survived the blast.
Tyler pulled Wanda out of the car carefully and lifted her up and headed towards the door, he himself could barely remain awake, from exhaustion, blood loss from bruises and his cut, as well as just pain. He heat butted the door lightly to know as both his arms where holding the wounded Scarlet Witch. Lance opened the door and his jaw dropped at the sight of them. "Please, she needs medical attention, I don't care about me, make me leave later, but please help her," Tyler begged looking desperate. Lance didn't exactly know what to say, Mystique wasn't there. "What the hell happened?" Lance asked in shock, "We had a little fight in New York," Tyler said. Lance's eyes widened, everyone had been watching the news, it was considered one of the biggest tragedies in history, two million confirmed dead. Lance didn't know what to say, but then gathered his courage, he could just turn them way. "Come in, put her on the table, I'll see if I can get some help," Lance said. Tyler took Wanda into the kitchen and put her on the table counter.
It was 2 am right now and Neo wondered why Lance had gotten her to get up. She came down the stairs to see Wanda on the counter with Tyler standing there. "Holy shit," She said. Toad was the next to arrive. "Snookums!" He shouted in terror. "You did this!" He snapped and jumped at Tyler. Tyler was so weakened, he was actually tackled over and Toad attacked with punches. Lance came up behind Todd and clubbed him in the back of the head with a wooden board. 'This is serious, if Tyler is that worn out,' Lance thought. Fred came in next and finally Tabitha. "We need Mystique, now," Lance said. "Well, she told us to call her in emergencies," Tabitha said. "Alright, get the phone," Lance ordered. Tabitha picked up the phone and dialed Mystique immediately.
"This is for emergencies only, I swear if you're pranking me at 2 am, I'll kill you," Mystique said. "We've got injured, it's pretty bad," Tabitha said. "Ugh, fine I'll be right over," Mystique said.
10 minutes later,
Mystique flew into the window in her bird form and morphed into her normal self. "Oh. oh this is too good," She said smirking seeing the two 'wounded'. "You let them in? Traitors don't get medical attention," Mystiques said grinning evilly. "Please, help Wanda, I don't care about me, please just help her," Tyler begged. Mystique looked at the pleading young man and sighed. "Fine," She snapped. "How did this happen?" She asked immediately. "I dunno, Wanda, Colossus went missing, Pyro and Gambit went ahead, then I found this weird mutant. we fought, I won, Wanda was the only one I could save, I couldn't find the others. If I could have even found the guys who weren't on Magneto's side I would have saved them, I noticed 3, one was Sunspot, another I couldn't recognize, he had brown fur and looked similar to Night Crawler, and. well, Night Crawler," Tyler said. Mystique glared at him. "How dare you LYE, Night Crawler died," She snapped. "He very well may have back there, but he was there," Tyler said. "Now please, help her," Tyler urged. "Fine," Mystique snapped. Tyler smiled and got up off the chair, he didn't make it out of the kitchen before he collapsed, his task was done and he finally gave in to the pain and fatigue. Lance, Tabitha and Fred rushed over to him.
Meanwhile,
Kurt saw the Velocity hovering overhead. DJ gulped as he saw Hank jump out with a look of worry on his face. "DJ!" He shouted and ran over hugging his cousin. "Come on, we gotta get you outta here," Hank urged. Wolverine got Pyro and Kurt teleported.
On route to the Mansion,
DJ had noted Sunspot was on the Velocity as well on the way back. Kurt had explained everything to the Professor as well. DJ was just so tired, even though he had been out cold, he couldn't stay away, and let unconsciousness take him. Kitty immediately noticed and moved over to help Hank check his injuries on the flight back.
In New York,
Piotr carried both Gambit and Michael until he got to a pay phone, he picked it up, this was the 5th one he tried, and the other 4 had been dead. He lifted the receiver and dialed Magneto's personal number, only he and Pietro knew it, Magneto didn't trust the others enough to use it responsibly. "What Pietro? It's 2 am?" Magneto snapped. "Magneto, it is I, Piotr, I am in trouble and I require your assistance," Colossus said. "Where have you been?" Magneto snapped. "I do not know, please send help," Colossus finished. Magneto hung up and got into his battle attire and headed out.
3 Metal pods landed before Colossus and Magneto got out to see Piotr with the wounded. "What happened?" Magneto asked, but more like ordered to know, because of Colossus did not answer, he would find his life very quickly ended.
***
Phew, that was a big chapter, took me almost 4 hours to finish, so be grateful for it! Anyway, next chapter will have what in the end happens and the political situation, some Iceman will be in it as well.
Also, I think I'm going to add Action to the Genre, mainly because that's the most common thing in almost all chapters. It has everything really. tragedy, romance, angst, but the most common thing seems to be action, and one of the biggest pleasers, so, it's from now on. a General/Action! LoL!
DJ 'Zero' McCoy belong to Hybrid Omega, and Michael 'Specter' Raynor belongs to Emerald Knight1. Neona 'Pixie' Shields belongs to PyroRockerGrl. I thank everyone who has submitted a character to me and I hope I will be able to use as many as possible.
Son gomay videl Goku- No, Ana is not in the next chapter, if you do see her, it would be more around chapters 11-12, there are some other things that need to be written before new characters come in.
Pyroizhot- sorry, but I'm gonna have to postone the arrival of your character too, but hey, at least we know he's coming right?
Sorry if this chapter seems a bit focused on Tyler, but this is supposed to be his chapter.
A Dark Future Chapter 8- Rumble in the Concrete Jungle
Tyler jumped off the pickup with Gambit and Pyro following. He walked into the night city and stood looking at the full moon. "What's up with ya mate? Ya ain't said much," Pyro asked. "I don't know, something is going to happen tonight, I can feel it," Tyler said with a face that looked deadly serious. "You're freaking us out here monami," Gambit said. "I don't know why, you two go ahead, I'm gonna go take a walk, Wanda and Piotr is in the city," Tyler then said. "How do you know?" Pyro asked. "I don't know," Avatar said. Gambit and Pyro gave each other puzzled looks and quickly went deeper into New York for answers.
Specter landed on a building, feeling new power in himself for some reason. He looked over the massive city of millions and didn't know why, but felt a tragedy coming. He was afraid of people right now. "There still people," He said to himself. "But how do I know something is going to happen?" He asked himself.
DJ jumped out of his hijacked car and looked around the night Downtown area. He growled lightly to himself. "There here," He said.
War stood in front of DJ with 4 people behind him, all too familiar indeed, Colossus, the Scarlet Witch, Sunspot and Night Crawler. All where in there battle attire, thought you can't really tell with Roberto. Kurt also had something very interesting, a very sharp and very deadly sword.
"The first casualty of war I see," War said to DJ. "Casualties," Came a voice from above and Specter landed beside DJ. "Mike?" DJ asked. "Hey DJ, can't let ya die alone can I?" Michael said with a grin. "Now then, let's stop these guys," Michael added. "Yea," DJ said with enthusiasm. "Do you two idiots actually think you're a match for the horsemen of Apocolypse? Let alone me?" War snapped. Just then a glowing card landed in front of him and exploded. War jumped back and turned to his right. "Another?" He said looking crossed. "More than one monami," Gambit said and picked up a pipe and charged it and threw it viciously it at War, it exploded on contact and War stumbled back. "The name is Gambit. Remember it." Remy said looking serious. Pyro came out behind him. "This looks about right, 4 for 4," War said grinning. "Prove yourselves horsemen, as worthy of our master," War said gesturing to the 4 horsemen. "Yes," They all said in a zombie like voice.
All battles take place during the same time and will be marked with a *** to specify who is fighting.
***Gambit vs. Sunspot***
Remy saw the man transform, he thought he could only do it in sunlight; he looked at the full moon and snarled. "Shit," He said and turned back to be drop kicked by Sunspot and hit a wall hard nearly breaking through. He got up groaning and noted that was not Sunspot's full power. 'He must only get a fraction of it in the moonlight,' Remy thought. *Note, Roberto in the comics actually can do that*
Gambit got ready for Roberto's next attack as the solar powered horsemen rushed towards him. Gambit quickly pulled out his staff and jumped into the air, he did a spin and landed low to the ground and knocked out Sunspot's legs with his staff, before Sunspot even hit the ground Gambit swung the staff upwards and caught Roberto in the back of the neck. Roberto spun quickly in the air and landed on his face with a sickening thud. Gambit let out a sigh until Sunspot got up glaring at him. "Shit," Gambit said and Sunspot came at him again.
Roberto landed a hard punch on Gambit's cheek and sent the Cajun flying back, Gambit landed on his feet and pulled out 3 cards and charged them, Roberto on a mad dash came at him and Gambit threw the cards, one hit each leg and one hit his chest. Roberto's legs where knocked out by the explosion first and then the card in the chest blasted him flying back and he hit the side of a moving car and smashed right through the drivers side, killing the driver. Gambit frowned at the sight. "Oops," He said to himself.
Sunspot got out of the wreck and picked up the small car and lifted it above his head and turned to Gambit. "Today is not Remy's day," Gambit said frowning. Roberto threw the car and Remy barely dodged when he got up Robert landed a vicious attacked on Gambit's face and attacked viciously with punches and kicks, Gambit felt a few of his ribs break and his left arm and went flying back from one last hit that sent him into the side of a SUV, Gambit dented into it.
Remy breathing heavily with a head wound that let blood down his forehead now and he panted as he got up. "Alright, come and get me you stupid son of a bitch," Gambit said. The Mesmero controlled Sunspot rushed towards him and did a jump kick. Gambit pulled out of the way and Roberto kicked into the SUV. Gambit saw his chance; he put his hands on the vehicle and kinetically charged it. He ran for all he was worth and hid around a corner. The SUV exploded in a massive blast. Remy turned around the corner and looked at the wreckage and sat against the wall and let out a sigh of relief. Just then, Roberto stumbled out, he looked injured, but sadly still battle worth. "You've gotta be shitting me," Gambit said looking very pissed off.
Sunspot rushed towards him and Gambit rolled to the side as Roberto put a hole through the wall he was leaning on. Gambit returned with a hit from his staff to Sunspot's ribs. Roberto snarled and backhanded Remy away. Gambit got to his feet and knew he had to come up with a plan. Sunspot came towards him once more and Gambit looked at his stiff and sighed, he charged it and threw it like a spear, the staff hit Roberto right in the abdomen and exploded after Roberto went back and gasped.
Remy pulled out 15 cards and charged them in his still useable hand. He charged them and threw them directly at the exploded area, another massive explosion ensued. Gambit pulled out 12 more and Roberto ran out of the flames roaring, he charged the cards and threw them at the badly injured Roberto at point blank range. The explosion blasted out hitting both and knocking both out.
***Tyler***
Tyler walked over to a motorcyclist and elbowed him off his sports bike; he then saw some explosions coming from down town and revved the bike. He took off at full speed weaving between cars and pulled a wheeling and managed to jump one as he headed there. He noted that the police had now cut off the area and continued to drive and took a jump off a police car and continued heading towards down town, spite some small arms fire shooting at him.
***Colossus vs. Specter***
Specter dodged from the side as the 7'5 metallic Russian charged him. He had no idea how to stop this monster. He pointed his hands at him to block when Colossus made his next charge and two massive energy bolts blasted out, hitting Colossus in the chest and making him fall over. Michael looked at his hands; they had just fired two orange energy bolts. 'That's the new power I felt in me,' He thought looking shocked. He had no more time to think as he was punched by Colossus and sent flying into the air. He held his ribs in pain, 2 broken, from one punch. "Dude, that was not cool," Specter groaned floating in the sky. He flew to the side as Piotr threw a car at him. "Damn Sunday drivers," He growled and flew down and right past Colossus. Colossus attempted to attack but Specter was too fast. Before Colossus could turn he was blasted in the back and sent flying forward and hit a bus, breaking into it. The people inside had recently been evacuated, so no one was injured. Specter then opened up on the bus with everything he had.
Energy blast after energy blast hammered into the vehicle, it had long since exploded but Specter kept firing. Colossus walked out and pushed through the blasts and was now coming right at Specter, who was shooting for all he was worth. He turned invisible, but for some reason Colossus could still follow him. *Mesmero is guiding him through a mind link to show where Michael is, based on where he detects his mind*.
Specter flew into the air and turned visible, realizing it was pointless to be invisible. 'Alright, how do you stop a crazed man made of metal who could literally tear you in two with a gesture of his arms?' He asked himself. 'You don't,' His mind reminded him. He gulped and dodged another car that was thrown at him. He saw the car land on the street totally destroyed. 'Gravity is your friend,' He thought grinning and flew directly at Colossus.
Specter flew 50 feet at 200 mph into a jump kick, breaking his own leg and Colossus fell over from the force. Specter hobbled to one foot. "Not my smartest plan," He said to himself frowning at Colossus got up. He then got another plan, a much better one.
Michael flew at Colossus once again and picked him up from behind. He flew directly into the sky holding Colossus. He could barely keep control of the flight at the Russian's arms flailed and hit him once or twice, each time he felt the bone snap where it hit, his shoulder was broken but now he still pushed on, they where 900 feet in the air. "Nose dive!" Michael said laughing as he went straight towards the ground and let go of Colossus about 200 feet from the ground after flying towards the ground at top speed. He pulled up and managed to slow down enough but landed himself in the park and lay there injured and barely conscious, bleeding badly as well, just hoping for help to arrive.
Colossus stumbled to his feet; he had hit the ground with the force of a meteorite. He stumbled around for a few more moments and just collapsed.
***Pyro vs. Wanda***
Pyro let flames run out of flame throwers grinning manically at Wanda. Wanda just stood there in a zombie like fashion. "Come on Shella, this ain't any fun unless you do something," Pyro said frowning. She put her hands up and the flames moved down and attacked him. Pyro was not affected thanks to his suit. "Sorry love, you've gotta do better then that," Pyro said. "Right, now I'll get you for that," Pyro said and went right up to her and was blasted by a hex beam and went flying back. "Right then," Pyro said shaking off the attack.
Wanda walked towards him and fired another hex beam. Pyro dodged to the side and fired his flamers at her, she hexed the flames and they turned into snakes of fire and started to attack Pyro who shut down the fire and snarled at her. "This ain't over love, I'll get ya," Pyro snarled and decided on another approach, physical combat. He came up to her and threw a punch, using her abilities of probability, Pyro slipped and broken his pinky finger on his left hand. "Right, I'll do you for that," Pyro said angrily and managed to land a hard knee on Wanda's stomach. She gasped and stepped back holding her mid section. He then pointed his flamers at her and blasted them at her. Wanda was taken by surprise and hit by the flames and rolled back and to avoid them. She was not burned but that hurt and she got ready for his next move.
Pyro laughed against and let loose with 2 more fireballs and she saw her opening. He was ready to dodge a hex bolt, but not this. Wanda ran directly at him and past the two fireballs. Pyro didn't know how to react when she landed a hand kick on his stomach. She then hexed him at point blank range and sent him flying back and his head first into a car. Pyro passed out.
***Zero vs. Night Crawler***
Zero dodged a swing of Kurt's sword just barely, it cut one of his long bangs off through and that scared him. He rolled backwards with his enhanced agility and Kurt came in with his sword, slashing at him. He barely managed to dodge as the two agile warriors went through the street.
DJ kicked Kurt away and put his hand up, a moment later a like solid spike of rock shot out of the ground under Kurt who teleported out of the way of the impaling spear like creation. Kurt teleported behind DJ and slashed him down the back, DJ did a strong back kick and sent his fellow furred mutated human back into a street lamp. Kurt shook it off and got up once more and came at DJ. He teleported around him with bursts of speed and DJ jumped to the side just as Kurt came in with a slash, but before DJ could do another thing Kurt double kicked him in the side. DJ went back and he himself hit a lamppost.
DJ snarled as he got up and ducked just as Kurt's blade cut the post off, where his head used to be. DJ looked shocked and scared, that blade was too dangerous. He noted a small fire from a destroyed car from the fight between Colossus and Michael, he pointed his hand at it and the flames drew off and blasted Kurt into a wall, making him drop his sword.
Zero stood in front of Kurt now, and felt blood coming down his back under his leather armor like battle attire. Kurt's eyes shot open and the furry mutant tackled the slightly larger furry mutant to the ground. Kurt punched DJ in the face and DJ flipped him over and landed a hard elbow on Kurt's face. Kurt's head tilted to the side, his tongue came out of his mouth and his eyes rolled into his head. He was still breathing, but the blow had knocked him out.
Zero had been surprised about his power; he didn't have that kind of control over earth and fire before the fight. He turned to see Wanda standing victorious over his supposed enemy Pyro. 'Well then, looks like it's down to me. and her,' He thought.
***Back to normal real time, beyond this point nothing is in the meanwhile stage unless I dictate otherwise***
The Zombie like Wanda stared at DJ who gulped, from what he had heard, this was the Scarlet Witch, and that was not good based on what his friends said she could do. "Alright then," He said looking slightly frightened. "Let's do this," He added looking slightly fearful. "No," A voice boomed from above.
War landed between the two. "This was pathetic, you all fail, so you will all die," War said. "None of you are worthy of the master," He added. "What ever man, you're kinda insane you know that dude?" DJ said and was blasted by an energy beam from him. Wanda dezombified and looked around. "Where am I?" She asked and was blasted. Mesmero came out of the shadows. "Go to the top of the world once more, and asked the master on what to do," War said. "Of course herald of the almighty," Mesmero said and disappeared into the night. "Now to purge this area of life," War said until he heard something from the background. He listened carefully, it sounded odd, and it was a buzzing like sound mixed with that of an engine. 'A motorcycle?' He asked himself mentally.
War turned to see a blue motorcycle stop about 15 feet away and a large man got off of it and walked towards him. He stopped after about 5 feet.
Tyler looked at the unconscious DJ, who seemed to be coming too. He glanced over and then noticed Wanda, and then Piotr; he also noticed Pyro, Kurt, Sunspot and Gambit. Gambit was starting to come to, while Kurt was flat out with Sunspot and Pyro. He noticed Colossus get up and looked very badly injured.
Tyler glanced at War and narrowed his eyes. He took off his sunglasses and threw them away. "I'm going to kill you," Avatar said. War laughed slightly. "Is that so? I very much doubt you could end my life. no one alive has been good enough to end my life... except Apocolypse," He said sounding disappointed. A wind blew past and Tyler's Trench coat blew back slightly. "Well, then I guess you haven't fought me yet have you?" Tyler asked. War chuckled lightly. "So be it, you will die here and now then I suppose," War said and pulled up his large axe. "Talk is cheap," Tyler stated. "So it is," War said and dashed forwards.
Tyler stood there as War swung his axe upwards. He knew it couldn't hurt it. It swung up the side of his face and he titled back in pain and felt a warm sensation on his face.
Tyler put his hand to where he felt the sensation. He then pulled it away. "Blood?" He gasped. He felt up where he'd been cut. He had been struck starting just under the eye and between the right side the noise; it went up the noise around where the forehead starts, and ended at the forehead, it was in total 3 inches long, sadly about the height difference between he and War. Tyler was in shock, he was supposed to be impenetrable. "How?" He gasped at War. "What do you mean? Weapons do that you fool," He snapped. "I'm supposed to be impenetrable!" He shouted in a rage. "This axe cuts through anything," War responded smirking. Tyler snarled and went at him. He dodged under a swing from the axe and grabbed it. He and War stood there struggling over the weapon and Tyler managed to knock him over. War released the axe and Tyler threw it as hard as he could on a 90 degree angle to the sky. "NO!" War shouted angrily. "That was a gift. from the master. how DARE you!" He snapped.
"I no longer will jest, this will end, and you will die," War said. "Are you prepared to see my true powers?" War asked. "Remember, I said talk is cheap," Tyler said smirking. War just grinned. "We'll see," He said.
With incredible speed War slammed his fist into Tyler's stomach; he then elbowed him in the top of the head, since Tyler had bent over in pain from the first hit, and kicked him 30 feet down the street. Tyler jumped to his feet from the ground and snarled. War rushed towards him and threw a punch, Tyler ducked under it and threw one of his own, and War dodged his head to the side. Tyler snarled and kicked, but War was too fast, War threw one of his own and Avatar jumped over him and did a flip in the air, landed behind him a few feet away, turned around and rushed towards him. War turned and jumped a good 10 feet back, and then to the side. Tyler rushed at top speeds and caught up, throwing a punch, but War was too fast and moved once again. Avatar followed again and this time caught War in the face with a hard kick that sent the horsemen back.
Avatar threw a punch and it was dodged and then threw another to the same fate. War did a side kick but Tyler this time dodged; he then dodged a punch and came in with one of his own, which was dodged. Tyler quickly noticed that War was rebounding from the attack and kicked at Tyler, who luckily dodged. Tyler punched War in the face that went back and then ran full speed at Tyler and kicked him in the face, sending him flying back.
Tyler snarled as he picked himself up and ran at War, he attacked with blinding fury with punch after punch and War barely dodged each one. Tyler over extended one punch and War jumped out of the way, Avatar saw a chance for a move to come in and followed quickly and attempted to kick War's leg out, War jumped over the leg and kicked Tyler in the back of the head, Avatar skidded forward his feet dragging along the ground.
Both Avatar and War then glared at one another from afar. Avatar rushed at the ancient mutant in a rage and threw a right with fury backing it, War put up his arms and blocked it, the two skidded along the ground even after trying to stop and Tyler pulled back his other arm and threw a hard left to an unguarded area in the block, and caught War right up the side of the right side of his face, War's head tilted back in pain and Tyler started to jab him in the face with his right, hitting him 4 times. Tyler pulled back his left for another assault while still jabbing and threw it, War ducked under it and kicked Avatar into the sky.
Tyler fell to the ground and quickly jumped to his feet. He saw War just as he came in with an overextended kick, he moved slightly out of the way and with all his strength slammed an elbow into War's chest and sent him 40 feet into the side of a building.
Everyone who was conscious watched in awe of the fight, they where moving so fast and yet so gracefully. "That does it!" War shouted as he pulled himself out of wall. Tyler didn't understand he looked confused until War put his hand up and pointed at him, a green ball energy appeared in his hand. Tyler quickly turned around. "RUN AWAY NOW!" He shouted to the other mutants. The energy ball was released and Tyler dodged, it hit a building behind him and it exploded outwards. Everyone fled as best they could before the blinding blast of light and energy overtook them.
Tyler got up and his shirt and trench coat had been blown off by the blast. Ruined building all around him for as far as the eye could see, he saw dead humans hanging out of the buildings and looked around frantically for his fellow mutants. He then turned to see War getting up. War immediately turned to him and jumped at him.
War threw a punch while in his jump and Tyler blacked it tilting back with the strength of the hit. Avatar returned the punch with his own hard right, which was barely blocked by War. War then punched Tyler in the shoulder, it was aimed for his chest but Tyler had turned in time. Tyler turned back and threw a left punch which hit a right punch from War, the two punches had collided.
War and Tyler then threw a punch at the same time and hit each other in the face and both went about 5 feet back. They both hit the ground and jumped to there feet. Tyler and War then roared at the same time and ran towards each other. Tyler attacked with ferocity and so did War, both throwing punches with lighting speeds but both dodged and blocked, anyone from the side would see they where going too fast for the eye to keep up with coherently.
Tyler tilted and moved with the punches as he blocked and threw them, tilting back and forth with War, they where throwing about 2 punches a second each. At last Tyler caught a punch from War and threw one of his own; it was then caught by War.
The two snarled at each other and locked hands in a test of strength both growling and looking at each other with hate in there eyes.
Tyler and War where pushing themselves to the limit and Tyler started to be pushed back, it seemed like his arms where going to buckle. He then remembered something, after that blast, he saw no sign of Wanda or anyone, and if that was so.
He roared in agonizing rage and pushed forward. War looked shocked as his glowing green eyes turned to ones of panic as Tyler pushed forward, War's arms buckled under the pressure as the two inhumanely strong mutants locked in battle. Tyler then did one last show of power; he pushed War's arms in, and then pulled out from the sides and then back. Avatar tore War's arms completely off and blood blasted out as War screamed out in pain, Tyler discarded the arms. War continued to scream as blood sprayed out of his body and covered over almost everything. Tyler then pulled back his right arm and went low to the ground and narrowed his eyes. "Game over," Tyler said and went straight at War and shot his arm out and it extended into a massive uppercut that hit War in the cheek, crushing his cheek bone and sending him flying into the air and blood still spewed out of his body and he spiraled in the air. 200 feet into the sky he stopped his climb towards the heavens and dropped like a rock, he landed head first, already dead.
Tyler looked around frantically; his body was aching from everything. He looked around frantically. "Wanda! Gambit! SOMEONE!" He shouted in shock. He looked around almost crying at the thought of loosing his friends. He then noticed something in the corner of his eye in a destroyed building he ran over and quickly pulled some debris off. He found a broken Scarlet Witch lying there with multiple small cuts. He quickly tried to assess the damage that had been done. He checked her pulse and then noted that she had 4 broken ribs, her left wrist was broken, and so was her right ankle. He also noted, just be common sense, she most likely had a concussion. He glanced over the area for anyone else, anything. He had no idea how far that explosion even went, no clue at all, or where he was. From what he gathered, this wasn't where it originated. He carefully pulled Wanda up into his arms and held her tightly to him. "Don't die on me, I know for a fact I can't wake you up with that concussion, I know I should but you wouldn't be able to wake up anyway," He said to her unconscious form. "Just don't die," Tyler said sadly and walked down the street, looking for a vehicle that was not completely destroyed.
Tyler found a car and carefully put her in the back seat. He got in the front and easily hot wired it, simply uncovering the steering wheel and manually starting it. He then noted something, he was badly injured, he could feel fractures all over his body, and the pain was almost unbearable, he then noted he had dozens of small bruises and 2 or 3 huge ones. He hit the gas and wondered where to go, but then knew one place where he could get safe haven, or at least hoped it was.
DJ woke up slowly; it smelled like dust and death around him. He opened his eyes completely and focused to see an unconscious Pyro lying in front of him. "The hell?" He asked himself. "Are you alright?" Kurt asked sitting there. "You!" DJ said in fear. "Vhat?" Kurt asked. "You tried to kill me!" He said in shock. "Listen, I voke up about a fifteen minutes ago, when I did, I saw you, and Pyro near one another with a big explosion coming tovards you, so I teleported us out of zere," Kurt said. "You vhere the only one's I saw," Kurt then added. "There where others," DJ said sadly. "Vhat happened?" Kurt asked, holding the sword he'd woken up with closely. "Don't ask. not right now," DJ said. "Alright DJ, but I'm going to have to find a vay to contact the professor, I'm sure he'll let you and Pyro go vonce he gets us," Kurt said. "Yea. sure, whatever," DJ said. The idea of facing his cousin wasn't a pleasant one. "And. thanks for saving me back there," DJ said.
Gambit woke up in a place with burning trees near him. Colossus stood there with a young man over his shoulder, the mutant Michael, who was bleeding rather extensively. "I will carry you to a place where we can get help," Colossus said. Gambit couldn't move he felt too strapped with pain. His jaw was also broken so he couldn't even reply, and he barely got off a nod before slipping back into unconsciousness.
Roberto woke up floating in the Hudson. "What the hell?" He asked. He immediately made his way to shore, and tried to remember what he'd been doing.
2 hours later,
Tyler pulled up to the Brotherhood boarding house, on the way rescue crews and police/firemen where franticly headed towards NYC, including the military. Tyler noted while driving, that at least 66% of New York was destroyed, and down town was almost completely leveled, it was a miracle anyone but him, War and Colossus survived the blast.
Tyler pulled Wanda out of the car carefully and lifted her up and headed towards the door, he himself could barely remain awake, from exhaustion, blood loss from bruises and his cut, as well as just pain. He heat butted the door lightly to know as both his arms where holding the wounded Scarlet Witch. Lance opened the door and his jaw dropped at the sight of them. "Please, she needs medical attention, I don't care about me, make me leave later, but please help her," Tyler begged looking desperate. Lance didn't exactly know what to say, Mystique wasn't there. "What the hell happened?" Lance asked in shock, "We had a little fight in New York," Tyler said. Lance's eyes widened, everyone had been watching the news, it was considered one of the biggest tragedies in history, two million confirmed dead. Lance didn't know what to say, but then gathered his courage, he could just turn them way. "Come in, put her on the table, I'll see if I can get some help," Lance said. Tyler took Wanda into the kitchen and put her on the table counter.
It was 2 am right now and Neo wondered why Lance had gotten her to get up. She came down the stairs to see Wanda on the counter with Tyler standing there. "Holy shit," She said. Toad was the next to arrive. "Snookums!" He shouted in terror. "You did this!" He snapped and jumped at Tyler. Tyler was so weakened, he was actually tackled over and Toad attacked with punches. Lance came up behind Todd and clubbed him in the back of the head with a wooden board. 'This is serious, if Tyler is that worn out,' Lance thought. Fred came in next and finally Tabitha. "We need Mystique, now," Lance said. "Well, she told us to call her in emergencies," Tabitha said. "Alright, get the phone," Lance ordered. Tabitha picked up the phone and dialed Mystique immediately.
"This is for emergencies only, I swear if you're pranking me at 2 am, I'll kill you," Mystique said. "We've got injured, it's pretty bad," Tabitha said. "Ugh, fine I'll be right over," Mystique said.
10 minutes later,
Mystique flew into the window in her bird form and morphed into her normal self. "Oh. oh this is too good," She said smirking seeing the two 'wounded'. "You let them in? Traitors don't get medical attention," Mystiques said grinning evilly. "Please, help Wanda, I don't care about me, please just help her," Tyler begged. Mystique looked at the pleading young man and sighed. "Fine," She snapped. "How did this happen?" She asked immediately. "I dunno, Wanda, Colossus went missing, Pyro and Gambit went ahead, then I found this weird mutant. we fought, I won, Wanda was the only one I could save, I couldn't find the others. If I could have even found the guys who weren't on Magneto's side I would have saved them, I noticed 3, one was Sunspot, another I couldn't recognize, he had brown fur and looked similar to Night Crawler, and. well, Night Crawler," Tyler said. Mystique glared at him. "How dare you LYE, Night Crawler died," She snapped. "He very well may have back there, but he was there," Tyler said. "Now please, help her," Tyler urged. "Fine," Mystique snapped. Tyler smiled and got up off the chair, he didn't make it out of the kitchen before he collapsed, his task was done and he finally gave in to the pain and fatigue. Lance, Tabitha and Fred rushed over to him.
Meanwhile,
Kurt saw the Velocity hovering overhead. DJ gulped as he saw Hank jump out with a look of worry on his face. "DJ!" He shouted and ran over hugging his cousin. "Come on, we gotta get you outta here," Hank urged. Wolverine got Pyro and Kurt teleported.
On route to the Mansion,
DJ had noted Sunspot was on the Velocity as well on the way back. Kurt had explained everything to the Professor as well. DJ was just so tired, even though he had been out cold, he couldn't stay away, and let unconsciousness take him. Kitty immediately noticed and moved over to help Hank check his injuries on the flight back.
In New York,
Piotr carried both Gambit and Michael until he got to a pay phone, he picked it up, this was the 5th one he tried, and the other 4 had been dead. He lifted the receiver and dialed Magneto's personal number, only he and Pietro knew it, Magneto didn't trust the others enough to use it responsibly. "What Pietro? It's 2 am?" Magneto snapped. "Magneto, it is I, Piotr, I am in trouble and I require your assistance," Colossus said. "Where have you been?" Magneto snapped. "I do not know, please send help," Colossus finished. Magneto hung up and got into his battle attire and headed out.
3 Metal pods landed before Colossus and Magneto got out to see Piotr with the wounded. "What happened?" Magneto asked, but more like ordered to know, because of Colossus did not answer, he would find his life very quickly ended.
***
Phew, that was a big chapter, took me almost 4 hours to finish, so be grateful for it! Anyway, next chapter will have what in the end happens and the political situation, some Iceman will be in it as well.
Also, I think I'm going to add Action to the Genre, mainly because that's the most common thing in almost all chapters. It has everything really. tragedy, romance, angst, but the most common thing seems to be action, and one of the biggest pleasers, so, it's from now on. a General/Action! LoL!
DJ 'Zero' McCoy belong to Hybrid Omega, and Michael 'Specter' Raynor belongs to Emerald Knight1. Neona 'Pixie' Shields belongs to PyroRockerGrl. I thank everyone who has submitted a character to me and I hope I will be able to use as many as possible.
