I do not own X-men evolution or its characters, and I only lay claim to the
OCs Tyler Klimov and Adam Akimov. The OC's that show up in my story will be
accredited to at the bottom after every chapter once they've appeared.
As you guessed, aside from the sentinel battle, this chapter is going to focus a lot of Bobby and his motives for doing what he's doing, as well as what's affected him, and his other reasons aside from murdering Scott is what I mean by his motives. You'll see a number of reasons why he's changed, and why he hasn't changed back by his own will.
For the fight against the HFC, it's going to be separated into sections like before of fights going on at the same time, but this time it will be multiple opponents fighting 1 person more or less. Most likely this chapter will read the two digit number. It might be the longest chapter I write so far.
The Acolytes Roll will be enlarged soon, but I was wondering, if anyone has a good Acolyte character they wanna send in to me, please do, I could use one, because I don't wanna use one of my own OC's to take the place as one of there more main characters, though it is likely that Pyro and Omega Red will become main characters for them, I've gotta get Magneto's crew more involved, it's just true.
A Dark Future Chapter 12- The melted heart of the Iceman
"This is JUST FUCKING GREAT, you know that?!" Adam hissed as the sentinel's torso transformed and its extra guns ported out, its missile launchers appeared and its arms changed. "Surrender, Sentinel 7 will not repeat warning," The voice boomed. "7!?" Pixie said in shock. "Let's do this," Adam said. He then clenched his fists and grinned, a bluish aura starting blasting out of his body and he roared in pain as static blasted out of his body, the roar turned to an insane laughter and he stood there a moment later grinning with static and the blue glow coming off him. "This should be fun, I can thank the bucket of bolts for the quick charge, he's got a lot of energy stored up in there," He said grinning. Pixie flew into the air quickly using his wings. DJ jumped beside Lance. "You thinking what I'm thinking?" He asked. "Oh yea," Was Avalanche's reply.
Fred picked up Lance's cheep. "NO FRED!" Lance cried in desperation but it was too late. The Blob whipped the jeep into the sentinel and it exploded on contact. The sentinel took a few steps back. Its weapons glowed and it opened fire, blasting Fred into the ground. Lance and Z pointed there hands forwards and the ground began to crack and rumble around the sentinel's feet, a giant fissure opened and the sentinel fell into it. "That's that," DJ said grinning. Just then they heard thrusters blast and the sentinel flew out and landed. "MOTHER FUCKER!" Lance shouted. The Sentinel's weapons opened fire and blasted the pair.
Mystique stood off from the side, "Toad," She said. Todd nodded and moved in. He looked up at Neona. "Distract it yo!" He shouted. Neo flew right in front of the sentinel. "Hey, asshole, try shooting me," She said and fingered it. The sentinel opened fire and she dodged through the air just barely dodging mind you. Then the firing stopped. Toad had slimed its eyes, and the thick slime was too much, it couldn't use its visual scanners. The sentinel stumbled around. It just stopped them. Adam grabbed the foot and started to laugh manically. "This is too easy!" He shouted and pushed up, the sentinel tripped over and slammed onto the ground. He turned to Mystique. "See, no problem," He said crossing his arms. Just then the sentinel stood up. "Why won't you just DIE?!" He snarled. Fred walked up beside him, he'd recovered from the barrage, though Lance and DJ where still down.
"Tabitha!" Mystique ordered. "Alright," Meltdown said. The sentinel was now just about to get up. "Knock it over again! Fred, give me a hand when it's down," Adam said. Mystique was shocked he was giving orders. The Sentinel turned to Meltdown who threw a high powered explosive on it, the blast exploded and the sentinel didn't go down. It turned its weapons on her and fired, she barely dodged, and it then turned to Adam and Fred and fired. "FUCK!" Adam snarled as he was blasted back. Mystique looked very cross. Toad was going to slime it again when it turned and blasted him. 'It's still using stun weaponry, no missiles yet,' Mystique thought.
Pixie was dodging shots from the sentinel again when this time a wave of earth piled up and tripped it, some fire on the ground then expanded and blasted into the sentinel. DJ and Lance where standing there using there powers, the Sentinel sat up and fired missiles. DJ grabbed Lance and pushed him out of the way and barely dodged the rockets, they hit the ground where they where with a massive blast. "He's on lethal mode now! His lasers have increased to kill!" Mystique shouted. The Sentinel got back up and Meltdown threw an explosive in its need joint. "GO DOWN THIS TIME!" She snarled. The bomb exploded and the sentinel fell down.
Adam and Fred where back up. The pair rushed to the sides of its head. "See Fred, told you this would work," Adam said with a grin, they both grabbed the head and used the sentinel's torso for leverage to do what they had planned and tore the sentinel's head clean off. Mystique grinned at the teamwork they had shown. "That thing really hurts when it hits you," Adam said rubbing his shoulder and ribs as the glow and static left him. "Nice work everyone, but unfortunately, this means we now have to find somewhere else to live," She said. "Because we just destroyed most likely a multi billion dollar machine that is owned by the government, they'll send more on lethal for this," She informed them. "Let's go!" Lance said. "Get anything you need from inside, I'll contact some people I know," Mystique said.
Meanwhile at the mansion,
Kurt hobbled inside with his broken leg and picked up his sword. "If they get inside, I'll be ze professor's last line of defense," Kurt said looking grim.
Back outside,
Scott got out of the X-van with the other X-men and the other vehicle and Logan's bike's occupants also got out looking at the HFC.
"Fitting isn't it? You guys where just leaving, so now that we are both in battle uniform, I guess this time it's a bit more official," Bobby said. "What happened to you Bobby? Come on, you don't wanna do this," Sam said. He was then scolded by a cold mocking laughter from Iceman. "You all don't get it do you, LIFE happened to ME, you're all so blind, and you know what, so was I," Bobby started. "But that's all in the past, what matters now is right here, right now, right guys?" He turned to his team. "Of course Mr. Drake," Sebastian snarled.
'Bobby's team doesn't seem that willing to help him,' Scott noted. "Bobby, this is the last time we'll ask you, please stop this madness, your our friend, we can forgive just stop this insanity," Beast pleaded. "Sorry Mr. McCoy," Bobby said almost regretfully, "But I'm not who I used to be," He said grinning now. "Not the little kid who everyone pushed around, who wasn't taken seriously, now most of you are pissing yourselves to even hear of me, am I right? I can see it, I've learned a lot, now you guys being afraid of me, THAT'S what I call respect!" Bobby said grinning. He then turned dead serious. "Now let's get this over with," He added.
The teams glared each other down, the X-men had numbers, but it seemed the hellfire club had experience and in many cases just more power.
The Black King squared off against Berserker, Sunspot, Beast, and Jamie
The white Bishop squared off against Shadowcat, Dream, and Cannonball
Brian Braddock the Black Bishop squared off against Raptor, Storm, and Magma
Emma Frost moved against Jean Grey
Elizabeth Braddock moved against Wolverine and Rogue
Bobby picked his target well, Cyclops, just Cyclops.
***Sebastian Shaw vs. Berserker, Sunspot, Beast and Jamie***
Shaw smirked as he moved away on the institute grounds his 4 opponents follow.
"Well then, I haven't properly introduced myself, I'm Sebastian Shaw," He said politely. "Why are you dressed like a guy from the beach?" Ray asked. He narrowed his eyes on Ray, "You die first," He said angrily.
Sunspot charged up while Beast just roared and Jamie stood there for a few seconds. Ray charged his hands and blasted Shaw who yelled out as he hit the ground walls. He got up grinning, he looked fine. "Thank you," He said grinning, no one understood what he meant.
Sunspot ran forward and slammed his elbow into Shaw's jaw, Shaw titled back and grinned and then punched Roberto in the face, Rob couldn't believe the power of the attack and went flying back and landed on the ground barely able to move. "THE FUCK!?" Ray shouted. "You see my boy, any force used against me helps raise my endurance, strength and stamina," He started to chuckle after that. Beast grinned. "Thanks for telling us that, now we know your strengths," Beast said. "I told you because none of you will be able to stop me," Shaw hissed.
Shaw rushed forwards and kicked Jamie, 20 Jamie's shot out. Shaw's eyes widened in terror as the 20 boys turned to him and grinned. "My god," Shaw said as the wave of Jamie's jumped on him, he struggled to get out of the dog pile of humans attacking him, he felt the pain but it was increasing his power drastically. He finally roared and threw them all off. Beast growled. "We're done, there's no way we can stop this guy," Hank said looking down. Just then a misty aura surrounded Shaw. "What's this?!" He shouted in a rage as he was unable to see anything, he moved through the mist but to no avail.
Hank turned to Roberto, "How far do you think you could throw him?" Hank asked as Roberto De Costa got up and grinned. "Far enough," He said. Shaw then flew something on his leg and was lifted off his feet, he was then spun on his foot, he was yelling out as he spun and Sunspot threw him into the sky, he went a good 4 miles before at last hitting the water, he had gone over the cliff near the institute. Isabella Lebeau walked up behind Beast. "I get him?" She asked. "Yes you did," Beast said smiling happily.
***Daniel Pierce the White Bishop vs. Cannonball, Shadow Cat, and Dream***
Pierce looked very bored. "You do know none of you will be able to contend with me, right?" Pierce said. "We'll see about that," Sam said and flew forwards and slammed into Pierce. Daniel hit the ground hard and jumped to his feet and then punched Sam in the face, his cybernetic arm did a good job too, it sent Sam flying into the air and he landed flat on his back in front of the mansion's door, out cold.
Pierce turned to the two girls. "Care to try?" He asked. Dream turned to Shadowcat. Dream then ran forwards and Pierce swung at her, she ducked under his punch and laid an uppercut him, He titled back and she unleashed two quick kicks to his face and then a quick spinning back hand, Pierce fell back and hit the ground hard.
Ana turned to Kitty. "See, no problem," She said looking confident. Just then Pierce's arm grabbed her shoulder. "Really?" He snarled and spun her around, he landed a kick in her ribs and she went back gasping for air, Pierce then pushed her as hard as he could and she went back 10 feet before hitting the ground and skidded along it rolling over and over on her head and hit the ground out cold. Pierce grinned at his handy work and saw the scared Kitty Pryde looked at him in shock.
"Don't be surprised," he said walking towards her. "I'm one of the richest men on the planet, and part of a super human organization, do you actually believe that a few YOUTHS would stop me?" Daniel said with a grin plastered on his face. Kitty got up her courage and kicked him in the stomach, Pierce was barely fazed by this, he swung at kitty and she jumped through him using her powers. Pierce screamed out in pain as his cybernetic parts burned. Kitty then looked at him in shock. He hit the ground breathing heavily. "You bitch. you just destroyed my cybernetic parts," He said gasping. Kitty smirked confidently and walked over to him. "Not so tough now are we?" She asked. "Yes we are," He said with a grin and jumped to his feet, catching Kitty guard he punched her in the chin knocking the Shadowcat out. "My parts also have an auto repair mechanism, did I mention that?" Pierce then turned to the mansion. "This should be interesting," He said making a break for it running past the unconscious Sam and Ana.
***Brian Braddock, the Black Bishop vs. Raptor, Storm and Magma***
Brian didn't take any pleasure in this fight; he was doing what he needed to do, he was in the club, and his life was more or less at stake, he would very much enjoy it if Bobby was killed in the fight, in fact, he could say that for everyone save Frost for wanting that.
Brian looked at the freak before him. "What the hell happened to you lefty?" He asked. "Oh it's personal now," Chris snarled. Brian didn't know what exactly that mean, but he was a pretty good feeling he was screwed because of that comment.
Brian dodged an energy beam that was blasted towards him from Raptor. He flew into the sky and grinned. "Well, I think I've got the advantage now," He said confidently. He then saw Magma come up beside Raptor and transform, she created a magma ball and Raptor formed another energy blast, the two fired at him and he barely dodged. "Ugh, today is just NOT my day," He snapped to himself as he dodged another two shots. "I'm tired of this," He said and flew directly at them and dodged another few shots on the way.
He flying close lined Chris, and with his enhanced power it was an easy one hit KO. "Oh this is just too easy," He said in his British Accent. He flew back up to take make an attack on Magma when thunder clapped around him and the winds picked up. He turned to Storm and growled angrily, she was flying like him. He flew at her and swung, she flew under him and her eyes glowed as her pupils disappeared.
"What are you going to do? Blow wind at me?" Brian snickered. Just then a Magma ball flew past him and he turned his attention to Magma once more. "Ok, this one can't do anything, your going down first," He said angrily and flew at her.
He was about to landed an attack of her when a kick from the side hit him and he went flying until he hit the ground. Brian got up to see Jason Essex standing there with his arms crossed. "No touching this one," Jason said shaking his finger at him. "Little insolent bastard!" Brian snapped until he heard thunder clap again and now Storm flew high above. "This battle ends now," She declared in her god like voice. Brian didn't understand until a bolt of lightning blasted out of the clouds that had formed and hit him head on, and thus was the end of his battle as he went flying back from the shot and smashed through the institute wall. He got up and glared at them as they came towards the hole. He hit in some trees and watched holding his burned chest. "That was annoying," He growled.
***Emma Frost vs. Jean Grey***
Emma Frost glared at the other Telepath.
~So, you think you can take me up here?~ She told her telepathically and in real life tapped on her head. Jean glared at her. ~That'd be more then easy~ Jean scowled back. Emma grinned, she had her. ~Fine, come on~ Emma communicated grinned.
Jean sent out a telepathic blast that hit Emma and Frost's head titled back, she turned back to Jean and narrowed her eyes. She herself fired a telepathic blast and hit Jean. Jean fell back and shook her head.
Jean fired another blast, then another. Emma's head shot back and she snarled turning back to Jean, blood trickled out of her left nostril now. "Bitch," She snapped in reality. She then gathered her strength and blasted Jean with everything she could gather. Jean literally was knocked off her feet by the force and hit the ground out cold. Emma grinned and walked over to her with her arms crossed. "Weakling, you telekinetic telepaths are always weak in the mind," She scolded.
She then turned to the institute to see Charles in the window. 'Charles Xavier,' she thought and then her mind burned with pain as she went back as waves of power blasted her mind. 'NO! He's a telepath!' She mentally screamed, his power was overwhelming and she could no longer stand it, she fell to her knees and then to the ground unconscious.
Charles sat there looking at the fallen telepath. "She's the reason why Bobby is like this," He said to himself.
*** Psylocke aka Elizabeth Braddock, vs. Wolverine and Rogue***
Psylocke got to her fighting stance and Logan glared at her. He let his claws out and growled. "So kid, you think you can go head to head with us?" Logan asked. "Think? I know I can, bloody Americans, always 'We're so tough' bullshit, I should really knock some dignity into you," She said looking rather cross. Logan growled. "Umm, lady, Logan isn't from the states, as far as anyone knows, he's Canadian," Rogue said. "Shut up, southern wench," Betsy snapped. "Ok, now this is just stupid, come on you bitch," Logan snapped. "With pleasure," Betsy replied narrowing her eyes before taking off.
She ran at Logan and stopped just in front of him and jumped into the air and did a spiral, landed behind him and kicked him in the back. Rogue came in with a jump kick and she moved to the side and kneed Rogue in the stomach. She turned to see Logan coming at her with claws out, she moved back as he slashed at her. Logan's claws went straight for her neck and she dodged to the side and connected a vicious hit on his jaw from her elbow.
Psylocke jumped back as glared at the two, not sure on what to do next. Rogue was catching her breath and Logan was already back in action. She let out her psyonic dagger. "Come on then," She said glaring at them.
Logan roared and came in with a hard slash, Psylocke moved to the side and Logan caught her in the stomach with a kick, she moved back in pain and punched him in the face, Logan titled back and snarled turning back to her. He slashed at her head and she ducked under and kicked Logan in the side of the knee, Logan tilted down and Betsy stabbed him in the head with her knife. Logan cried out and then fell unconscious. "That's that," Psylocke said grinning until she felt everything seemingly drain out of her and hit the ground. Rogue with her glove off stood behind her looking down. "Mah god, what's Bobby been doing?" Rogue asked looking through Betsy's memories in shock and horror. "Warren," She then gasped. She knew what Bobby had done to Angel now.
Brian watched from afar, his battle had recently ended. 'Capture my sister? NEVER!' He thought and flew in. Rogue was still going over the memories when she felt a force fly past her, she turned to see what it was and found Psylocke gone. 'Shit,'
***Bobby vs. Cyclops***
Bobby watched at his team started to engage the X-men and turned to Scott. "Now that is happening, let's get this over with," Bobby said with a grin. Scott pulled his hand to his visor. "I'm going to stop you Bobby, you've haunted me enough," Scott said. "To you it's iceman," Robert snapped. "Whatever," Was Scott's response as the crimson beam shot out of his visor and shattered Bobby.
Bobby reformed and slowly took human shape once more. "Ouch," He said grinning and pointed his hand at Scott and a beam that froze anything it hit shot out. Scott dodged around it and fired at Bobby. Bobby did the same as Scott had done and growled angrily. "We don't have to do this Bobby," Scott said. "Stop calling me that!" Bobby shouted and fired a beam at Scott.
Scott rolled to the side and blasted Iceman again, this time shattering him once more. Bobby reformed and cried out in a rage. "You're still just a sloppy kid!" Scott shouted angrily. "Oh that does it!" Bobby shouted back and formed spikes over his right arm. "I learned this from Evan," He said grinning and let them loose. Scott's eyes widened with shock as the deadly ice spikes shot out at him, he shot them down just in time.
Scott looked around for anyone to help him and saw Evan sitting in the X- Van. 'What's he doing?' Scott thought. Evan looked scared. 'He saw him come back from the dead, of course he's scared,' Scott thought frowning. Just then Bobby appeared in his view. And fired a beam at Scott, Scott jumped out of the way but Bobby fired another where he was to land. Scott landed on an ice slick and hit the ground hard and looked up to see Bobby freeze his legs to the ground. "Bobby!" Scott pleaded. "See ya Scotty boy," Bobby said and pointed his index finger at him, it formed into a spike at the end and pointed at Scott's forehead. Just then a bone spiky cut off the arm and Bobby jumped back and saw Evan. "I won't let you do it Bobby," Evan said, shaking slightly. He then fired two spikes that shattered the ice that trapped Cyclops freeing him. "Touching," Bobby said looking annoyed as a new arm liquefied out and then solidified into ice.
***This is now in the real time sequence***
Just then he noticed something. He turned around to see all the able bodied X-men glaring at him. "Robert, please give up," Storm said. "You all can't beat me! You know it! I can't be harmed like this!" Bobby declared. Beast just shook his head slightly. "But you can be contained Bobby, just give up," Beast said. "I'd rather die," Bobby snarled and pointed his hands at them. "I thought you where my friends, I guess I thought wrong," He added. "We are your friends Bobby, you need help right now, that's all," Ray said to his friend. "Shut it Ray," Bobby snapped and was about to fire an ice beam when Scott blasted him from behind shattering him. Magma walked over and melted the ice down. "We have to find something to contain him!" Beast shouted.
Pierce looked around. "This is just too easy," He said. "Vrong," Kurt said limping out holding a sword. "A cripple. A CRIPPLE is going to stop ME?" Pierce then started to laugh fanatically. He ran over to Kurt and swung at him, Kurt barely managed to move back to dodge. "Oh, a quick one huh?" He swung again and this time Kurt swung the blade, removing the cybernetic arm. "Holy shit!" Pierce said in shock looking at where his arm once was. "I'll kill you!" He shouted. He ran at Kurt who swung again and he dodged, he threw a punch with his left arm and Kurt teleported behind him and pulled the blade up. Pierce turned around growling with rage and was about to attack and Kurt retaliated, the blade cut through with amazing precision and blood sprayed everywhere. Kurt stepped back in shock at what he had done. Donald Pierce slowly slipped in half, he had been cut completely down the middle and slipped apart and blood went everywhere. "Nien." Kurt said and dropped the sword and fell to the ground and huddled as best he could in the fetal position with his broken leg crying as his actions.
Bobby kept trying to reform but it was no use, Magma kept melting him down. Beast came out with an odd container and Jean levitated Bobby's puddle into it and it was sealed.
The X-men looked around. Shaw was gone, so where the Braddock's, and Pierce was not in sites. The only person who was still downed was Emma Frost. Beast carried Bobby's container in and Jason picked up Frost and brought her in. Everyone stopped in shock at the site they saw waiting for them. "Looks like we found the other one," Scott mumbled. "Kurt is going to need some counseling I think," Beast said in shock.
The container shook violently. "I think he's mad," Scott pointed out. "Really?" Beast asked rolling his eyes. He took him underground and put him in a holding cell. He quickly opened the container ran out of the cell and shut the door. Bobby took his human shape and became flesh once more. ~Welcome home Bobby~ Professor Xavier's voice said. Bobby growled angrily. 'I'll get out of here, I swear if it's the last thing I do,' He snapped. ~You will once your better~ Xavier assured. Bobby sat down in a corner going over his thoughts. 'I don't need his crap,' He turned to ice so he could think in peace.
3 hours later,
Emma Frost came around in her cell. "This is just perfect," She said sounding annoyed. 'Oh well, Robert will get us out of this soon enough,' She thought cockily. "Unfortunately not Ms. Frost, Bobby is in an air tight steel cell that he cannot break out of," Professor Xavier said wheeling into the cell. "Oh great, I can only assume you're the one who subdued me?" Emma asked. "Yes, that would be me, now I have some matters to discuss with you," Professor X said putting his hands together in front of his face and then setting them on his lap. "Discuss away," Frost said rolling her eyes. "What DID you do to Bobby?" Xavier asked. "Ah, the question I was expecting, I did a lot, be more specific," Emma said coldly. "What did you do to his mind," Xavier said sounding actually angry, something that doesn't happen often to the great Professor Xavier, he lost his cool.
"Well, that's rather complicated, I first implanted mental barriers in his mind to prevent tamping, that took 5 hours," She said. "Then, I read his entire mind to learn everything I could, that didn't take long, 2 minutes," She continued. "After that I put a presence of my psychic energy in his mind, to help guide him and keep him in line, like he feels pain if he wants to hurt me," She explained. "That's monstrous," Xavier said. "It is not monstrous. It is a very smart tactic to keep your minions in line. thought it didn't work out as I had planed." She said frowning. "What do you mean?" Xavier asked. "In his ice form, since he has no organic mind, he is an entity in that form, he ignores everything I did and he cannot be attacked mentally, I'm sure you noted that," Emma said. "So, what did he do? Why hasn't he killed you, since this new Bobby would attack you no doubt," The Professor said. "He did," Emma said sitting back looking cocky. "Then how did you survive if you made his life such a hell?" Xavier asked. "He let me live," She said casually. "Why?" Xavier asked. "That's personal! Mind your own business!" She snapped. "You destroyed one of my student's minds! It IS personal!" Xavier shouted. "Hah! His mind was in a lot worse shape then you THINK when he came to me, yes there are things I did, but the blame can't all be on my shoulders," She snarled back. "Besides, Robert spared me for reasons that you don't need to know about," She said quietly. He just stared at her. "Leave," She added. "No, I own this area, and by all means you are not a guest here under normal circumstances," Xavier said. "What the hell more do you want to know?" She snapped. "It would be easy if you simply told me why he spared you," Xavier said. "Pity?" He added. "Now THAT is just insulting, Robert let me live because he lo. enjoys my company," Emma said. "I see," Xavier said. "I'll be having you transferred to the proper authorities soon," He said and wheeling out as the door shut.
Xavier was outside the air tight cell door for the icy demon, once known as Bobby Drake. ~Bobby,~ He projected to the cell. ~What?~ Snapped back. ~I'm coming inside, will you be calm?~ Xavier asked. ~Why should I be?~ Bobby replied. ~WE doe have Ms. Frost here as well, I'm very certain that Wolverine would be able to get to her before you killed us, and you do know how Wolverine would act if you killed me,~ Xavier said. ~. Fine.~ Bobby said.
Xavier wheeling in, the cell had ice coming off the walls and icicles' coming from the ceiling, the air was a low temperature as well and Xavier looked at his breath. "What do you want Q ball?" Bobby asked sitting back on a chair he made of Ice. "Robert, I'm here to help you," Xavier said. "YEA RIGHT!" Bobby said laughing. "You just want me to come back right? To be a little X-man?" Bobby then snarled. "No Bobby please just listen to me. Ms. Frost and I had a little talk about you." He was cut off by Bobby just looking away looking depressed. "What?" He snapped. Xavier decided this was pointless and looked into Bobby's mind.
He saw many things, and the blocks in place, they where almost impossible to get past, but Xavier did manage to get inside. He saw what Bobby had in his mind. He thought Emma betrayed him to get out. 'Not much faith,' Xavier thought. He then saw the thing Emma had put into his mind, and realized something as he looked over the huge orb among the thoughts, he could only remove it if Bobby let him, he looked over the other things in his mind and discovered some things in there and found out why Bobby had let Emma live, the boy was in love with her. He sighed to himself and knew this was going to be hard, mainly because the only way to get him to forget that would be to lye to him, because he in all honesty didn't know if Emma returned the affections towards him. This situation was indeed most difficult.
"Bobby, just to put you to some rest, Emma has not betrayed you," Xavier said. Bobby immediately turned to ice. "You went inside my head you BASTARD!" He shouted getting off his chair. Xavier looked nervous now. "I did so only to understand why you've done this," The Professor explained. Bobby didn't seem to calm down. "If you're going to change my mind," Bobby transformed back to flesh. "Then do it, I don't have time for these games, make all these 'bad things' go away, I know you can, because right now I'd rather you do that then put up with anymore shit," Bobby said. "Robert, I wouldn't do that," The Professor started. "Oh shut up, you're so full of shit," Bobby snarled and turned to ice. Xavier just sighed. "Bobby, I can remove the link Emma put in your mind, but I need your help to do it," He said. "Why would I want that gone?" Bobby said smirking. "You. know about it?" Xavier asked in shock. "Yea! Duh, she put that in there when I started to work for her, to ensure loyalty, I know it causes me pain to think about harming her while I'm in my fleshy flesh state," Bobby said. "It alters your thoughts slightly too Bobby, and keeps you connected with her, have you considered it might be the source of your attraction to her?" He asked. "No, because I did feel something when I did first meet her," Bobby said in a low voice. "Now, move out of my way and let me OUT!" Bobby shouted. "You know what Bobby, I will on one condition, you let me remove that, if I do, and you still want to go off and do what you did before, I'll let you leave the institute, as long as you don't fight anyone on the way out," Xavier said. Bobby just looked at him. 'It's a trick. but I can't think of another way out of here,' Bobby thought. He turned himself once more into flesh. "Do it then," Bobby said.
Xavier went into Bobby's mind and Bobby just sat in a chair inside his mind. "Hello," Xavier said. "Alright, let's do this," Bobby said rolling his eyes. He walked over to the black orb. "Pick it up Robert," Xavier said. Bobby did, "Smash it," He added. Bobby then tossed it on the ground and it shattered.
Bobby's eyes shot open and looked at the professor. "Well?" He asked. "Can I go now?" Bobby asked. Xavier frowned, he hoped that had been the main source of what ailed Bobby. He did detected distaste for Scott in there, but not enough to change him this much. Xavier then thought of something. 'He's doing it now because he does love that telepath,' Xavier thought grimly. 'It wouldn't matter if she was out to kill half the world at this point,' He added. "Very well Robert, follow me," Xavier said frowning and lead him to Emma's cell. The door opened.
"It's about damn time!" Emma shouted. "Sorry," Bobby replied. "What are you doing with him?" Frost asked. "Made a deal, c'mon lets go," Bobby said in a defeated voice. She left with him to the upstairs area.
Scott and the other X-men watched in horror as Bobby left, before he did he stopped in front of Scott. "This is far from over Scott," He said. Bobby then left with Emma. 'The club's already betrayed me I bet, so, what now?' He asked himself. ~Well, who needs them? Your probably one of the most powerful forces on this planet,~ Emma told him. He smirked at her as they exited the institute grounds. "Yea, your right," He said and grabbed her and kissed her. "You owe me," He said grinning. "Oh how nice," She said grinning back. Bobby's face then turned dead serious. "I do love you, you know that right?" He asked. "Of course, I wouldn't be much of a telepath if I didn't, you still are human some of the time," She replied. "How about you?" He asked. "I'll just have to keep you guessing," She said smirking and put her finger on his noise. "Now, can we go?" She asked. "Course," He replied happily.
Meanwhile,
Magma looked at Jason. "Thanks for saving me out there," She said smiling. "No problem," He said smiling back gently. 'Eating out of the palm of my hand,' He thought evilly.
Scott looked at Jean. "Why. why did he just let him go?" Scott asked. "Scott calm down, I'm sure the professor was just." She was cut off by Scott looking almost out of control. "I can't take this much more," He said to himself rubbing his head and looking very distort. "Scott, are you ok?" Jean asked. "No," Scott replied and walked to his room.
***
That's chapter 12 is up! Took me a while, hope it's not too sappy or anything, but that' generally how I see Bobby at this point. Anyway, next chapter is a bunch of new stuff coming up, like with the Hood expecially, some surprises all around of course, Magneto's reaction to Michaels leave, and Michael's return to the X-men. Not to mention a lot of happening which you do not see, you'll find some of it out later.
Not to mention, how is Kurt going to deal with what's going on in his life, he just killed someone for the first time, how is he going to get over it?
***IMPORTANT VOTE***
And what's up with Cyclops?
I want your opinion actually, should Cyclops pull an Iceman on everyone? I'm thinking of that because of everything that's wrong with his life, no control over his powers, multiple people out to kill him, and a seeming betrayal from the professor in releasing Bobby. Should Scott betray the X- men? Vote yes or no please, I really want everyone to vote on this, I'll repeat this message at the beginning of the next chapter as well. ***
Apocalypse will most likely be see once I deal with a few minor villains, for now Iceman is out of the way, so the next one to leave view for a while will be Sinister, which should open things up for Nor to come in, heck, Sinister leads to Apocalypse.
DJ 'Zero' McCoy belong to Hybrid Omega, and Michael 'Specter' Raynor belongs to Emerald Knight1. Neona 'Pixie' Shields belongs to PyroRockerGrl. Ana Catalina Maria Christina 'Dream' DeSanFe belongs to Son Gomay Videl Goku. Pyroizhot is the creator and owner of Chris 'Raptor' Winters, and Pyro Gurl2 is the creator of Isabella 'Misty' Lebeau I thank everyone who has submitted a character to me and I hope I will be able to use as many as possible.
As you guessed, aside from the sentinel battle, this chapter is going to focus a lot of Bobby and his motives for doing what he's doing, as well as what's affected him, and his other reasons aside from murdering Scott is what I mean by his motives. You'll see a number of reasons why he's changed, and why he hasn't changed back by his own will.
For the fight against the HFC, it's going to be separated into sections like before of fights going on at the same time, but this time it will be multiple opponents fighting 1 person more or less. Most likely this chapter will read the two digit number. It might be the longest chapter I write so far.
The Acolytes Roll will be enlarged soon, but I was wondering, if anyone has a good Acolyte character they wanna send in to me, please do, I could use one, because I don't wanna use one of my own OC's to take the place as one of there more main characters, though it is likely that Pyro and Omega Red will become main characters for them, I've gotta get Magneto's crew more involved, it's just true.
A Dark Future Chapter 12- The melted heart of the Iceman
"This is JUST FUCKING GREAT, you know that?!" Adam hissed as the sentinel's torso transformed and its extra guns ported out, its missile launchers appeared and its arms changed. "Surrender, Sentinel 7 will not repeat warning," The voice boomed. "7!?" Pixie said in shock. "Let's do this," Adam said. He then clenched his fists and grinned, a bluish aura starting blasting out of his body and he roared in pain as static blasted out of his body, the roar turned to an insane laughter and he stood there a moment later grinning with static and the blue glow coming off him. "This should be fun, I can thank the bucket of bolts for the quick charge, he's got a lot of energy stored up in there," He said grinning. Pixie flew into the air quickly using his wings. DJ jumped beside Lance. "You thinking what I'm thinking?" He asked. "Oh yea," Was Avalanche's reply.
Fred picked up Lance's cheep. "NO FRED!" Lance cried in desperation but it was too late. The Blob whipped the jeep into the sentinel and it exploded on contact. The sentinel took a few steps back. Its weapons glowed and it opened fire, blasting Fred into the ground. Lance and Z pointed there hands forwards and the ground began to crack and rumble around the sentinel's feet, a giant fissure opened and the sentinel fell into it. "That's that," DJ said grinning. Just then they heard thrusters blast and the sentinel flew out and landed. "MOTHER FUCKER!" Lance shouted. The Sentinel's weapons opened fire and blasted the pair.
Mystique stood off from the side, "Toad," She said. Todd nodded and moved in. He looked up at Neona. "Distract it yo!" He shouted. Neo flew right in front of the sentinel. "Hey, asshole, try shooting me," She said and fingered it. The sentinel opened fire and she dodged through the air just barely dodging mind you. Then the firing stopped. Toad had slimed its eyes, and the thick slime was too much, it couldn't use its visual scanners. The sentinel stumbled around. It just stopped them. Adam grabbed the foot and started to laugh manically. "This is too easy!" He shouted and pushed up, the sentinel tripped over and slammed onto the ground. He turned to Mystique. "See, no problem," He said crossing his arms. Just then the sentinel stood up. "Why won't you just DIE?!" He snarled. Fred walked up beside him, he'd recovered from the barrage, though Lance and DJ where still down.
"Tabitha!" Mystique ordered. "Alright," Meltdown said. The sentinel was now just about to get up. "Knock it over again! Fred, give me a hand when it's down," Adam said. Mystique was shocked he was giving orders. The Sentinel turned to Meltdown who threw a high powered explosive on it, the blast exploded and the sentinel didn't go down. It turned its weapons on her and fired, she barely dodged, and it then turned to Adam and Fred and fired. "FUCK!" Adam snarled as he was blasted back. Mystique looked very cross. Toad was going to slime it again when it turned and blasted him. 'It's still using stun weaponry, no missiles yet,' Mystique thought.
Pixie was dodging shots from the sentinel again when this time a wave of earth piled up and tripped it, some fire on the ground then expanded and blasted into the sentinel. DJ and Lance where standing there using there powers, the Sentinel sat up and fired missiles. DJ grabbed Lance and pushed him out of the way and barely dodged the rockets, they hit the ground where they where with a massive blast. "He's on lethal mode now! His lasers have increased to kill!" Mystique shouted. The Sentinel got back up and Meltdown threw an explosive in its need joint. "GO DOWN THIS TIME!" She snarled. The bomb exploded and the sentinel fell down.
Adam and Fred where back up. The pair rushed to the sides of its head. "See Fred, told you this would work," Adam said with a grin, they both grabbed the head and used the sentinel's torso for leverage to do what they had planned and tore the sentinel's head clean off. Mystique grinned at the teamwork they had shown. "That thing really hurts when it hits you," Adam said rubbing his shoulder and ribs as the glow and static left him. "Nice work everyone, but unfortunately, this means we now have to find somewhere else to live," She said. "Because we just destroyed most likely a multi billion dollar machine that is owned by the government, they'll send more on lethal for this," She informed them. "Let's go!" Lance said. "Get anything you need from inside, I'll contact some people I know," Mystique said.
Meanwhile at the mansion,
Kurt hobbled inside with his broken leg and picked up his sword. "If they get inside, I'll be ze professor's last line of defense," Kurt said looking grim.
Back outside,
Scott got out of the X-van with the other X-men and the other vehicle and Logan's bike's occupants also got out looking at the HFC.
"Fitting isn't it? You guys where just leaving, so now that we are both in battle uniform, I guess this time it's a bit more official," Bobby said. "What happened to you Bobby? Come on, you don't wanna do this," Sam said. He was then scolded by a cold mocking laughter from Iceman. "You all don't get it do you, LIFE happened to ME, you're all so blind, and you know what, so was I," Bobby started. "But that's all in the past, what matters now is right here, right now, right guys?" He turned to his team. "Of course Mr. Drake," Sebastian snarled.
'Bobby's team doesn't seem that willing to help him,' Scott noted. "Bobby, this is the last time we'll ask you, please stop this madness, your our friend, we can forgive just stop this insanity," Beast pleaded. "Sorry Mr. McCoy," Bobby said almost regretfully, "But I'm not who I used to be," He said grinning now. "Not the little kid who everyone pushed around, who wasn't taken seriously, now most of you are pissing yourselves to even hear of me, am I right? I can see it, I've learned a lot, now you guys being afraid of me, THAT'S what I call respect!" Bobby said grinning. He then turned dead serious. "Now let's get this over with," He added.
The teams glared each other down, the X-men had numbers, but it seemed the hellfire club had experience and in many cases just more power.
The Black King squared off against Berserker, Sunspot, Beast, and Jamie
The white Bishop squared off against Shadowcat, Dream, and Cannonball
Brian Braddock the Black Bishop squared off against Raptor, Storm, and Magma
Emma Frost moved against Jean Grey
Elizabeth Braddock moved against Wolverine and Rogue
Bobby picked his target well, Cyclops, just Cyclops.
***Sebastian Shaw vs. Berserker, Sunspot, Beast and Jamie***
Shaw smirked as he moved away on the institute grounds his 4 opponents follow.
"Well then, I haven't properly introduced myself, I'm Sebastian Shaw," He said politely. "Why are you dressed like a guy from the beach?" Ray asked. He narrowed his eyes on Ray, "You die first," He said angrily.
Sunspot charged up while Beast just roared and Jamie stood there for a few seconds. Ray charged his hands and blasted Shaw who yelled out as he hit the ground walls. He got up grinning, he looked fine. "Thank you," He said grinning, no one understood what he meant.
Sunspot ran forward and slammed his elbow into Shaw's jaw, Shaw titled back and grinned and then punched Roberto in the face, Rob couldn't believe the power of the attack and went flying back and landed on the ground barely able to move. "THE FUCK!?" Ray shouted. "You see my boy, any force used against me helps raise my endurance, strength and stamina," He started to chuckle after that. Beast grinned. "Thanks for telling us that, now we know your strengths," Beast said. "I told you because none of you will be able to stop me," Shaw hissed.
Shaw rushed forwards and kicked Jamie, 20 Jamie's shot out. Shaw's eyes widened in terror as the 20 boys turned to him and grinned. "My god," Shaw said as the wave of Jamie's jumped on him, he struggled to get out of the dog pile of humans attacking him, he felt the pain but it was increasing his power drastically. He finally roared and threw them all off. Beast growled. "We're done, there's no way we can stop this guy," Hank said looking down. Just then a misty aura surrounded Shaw. "What's this?!" He shouted in a rage as he was unable to see anything, he moved through the mist but to no avail.
Hank turned to Roberto, "How far do you think you could throw him?" Hank asked as Roberto De Costa got up and grinned. "Far enough," He said. Shaw then flew something on his leg and was lifted off his feet, he was then spun on his foot, he was yelling out as he spun and Sunspot threw him into the sky, he went a good 4 miles before at last hitting the water, he had gone over the cliff near the institute. Isabella Lebeau walked up behind Beast. "I get him?" She asked. "Yes you did," Beast said smiling happily.
***Daniel Pierce the White Bishop vs. Cannonball, Shadow Cat, and Dream***
Pierce looked very bored. "You do know none of you will be able to contend with me, right?" Pierce said. "We'll see about that," Sam said and flew forwards and slammed into Pierce. Daniel hit the ground hard and jumped to his feet and then punched Sam in the face, his cybernetic arm did a good job too, it sent Sam flying into the air and he landed flat on his back in front of the mansion's door, out cold.
Pierce turned to the two girls. "Care to try?" He asked. Dream turned to Shadowcat. Dream then ran forwards and Pierce swung at her, she ducked under his punch and laid an uppercut him, He titled back and she unleashed two quick kicks to his face and then a quick spinning back hand, Pierce fell back and hit the ground hard.
Ana turned to Kitty. "See, no problem," She said looking confident. Just then Pierce's arm grabbed her shoulder. "Really?" He snarled and spun her around, he landed a kick in her ribs and she went back gasping for air, Pierce then pushed her as hard as he could and she went back 10 feet before hitting the ground and skidded along it rolling over and over on her head and hit the ground out cold. Pierce grinned at his handy work and saw the scared Kitty Pryde looked at him in shock.
"Don't be surprised," he said walking towards her. "I'm one of the richest men on the planet, and part of a super human organization, do you actually believe that a few YOUTHS would stop me?" Daniel said with a grin plastered on his face. Kitty got up her courage and kicked him in the stomach, Pierce was barely fazed by this, he swung at kitty and she jumped through him using her powers. Pierce screamed out in pain as his cybernetic parts burned. Kitty then looked at him in shock. He hit the ground breathing heavily. "You bitch. you just destroyed my cybernetic parts," He said gasping. Kitty smirked confidently and walked over to him. "Not so tough now are we?" She asked. "Yes we are," He said with a grin and jumped to his feet, catching Kitty guard he punched her in the chin knocking the Shadowcat out. "My parts also have an auto repair mechanism, did I mention that?" Pierce then turned to the mansion. "This should be interesting," He said making a break for it running past the unconscious Sam and Ana.
***Brian Braddock, the Black Bishop vs. Raptor, Storm and Magma***
Brian didn't take any pleasure in this fight; he was doing what he needed to do, he was in the club, and his life was more or less at stake, he would very much enjoy it if Bobby was killed in the fight, in fact, he could say that for everyone save Frost for wanting that.
Brian looked at the freak before him. "What the hell happened to you lefty?" He asked. "Oh it's personal now," Chris snarled. Brian didn't know what exactly that mean, but he was a pretty good feeling he was screwed because of that comment.
Brian dodged an energy beam that was blasted towards him from Raptor. He flew into the sky and grinned. "Well, I think I've got the advantage now," He said confidently. He then saw Magma come up beside Raptor and transform, she created a magma ball and Raptor formed another energy blast, the two fired at him and he barely dodged. "Ugh, today is just NOT my day," He snapped to himself as he dodged another two shots. "I'm tired of this," He said and flew directly at them and dodged another few shots on the way.
He flying close lined Chris, and with his enhanced power it was an easy one hit KO. "Oh this is just too easy," He said in his British Accent. He flew back up to take make an attack on Magma when thunder clapped around him and the winds picked up. He turned to Storm and growled angrily, she was flying like him. He flew at her and swung, she flew under him and her eyes glowed as her pupils disappeared.
"What are you going to do? Blow wind at me?" Brian snickered. Just then a Magma ball flew past him and he turned his attention to Magma once more. "Ok, this one can't do anything, your going down first," He said angrily and flew at her.
He was about to landed an attack of her when a kick from the side hit him and he went flying until he hit the ground. Brian got up to see Jason Essex standing there with his arms crossed. "No touching this one," Jason said shaking his finger at him. "Little insolent bastard!" Brian snapped until he heard thunder clap again and now Storm flew high above. "This battle ends now," She declared in her god like voice. Brian didn't understand until a bolt of lightning blasted out of the clouds that had formed and hit him head on, and thus was the end of his battle as he went flying back from the shot and smashed through the institute wall. He got up and glared at them as they came towards the hole. He hit in some trees and watched holding his burned chest. "That was annoying," He growled.
***Emma Frost vs. Jean Grey***
Emma Frost glared at the other Telepath.
~So, you think you can take me up here?~ She told her telepathically and in real life tapped on her head. Jean glared at her. ~That'd be more then easy~ Jean scowled back. Emma grinned, she had her. ~Fine, come on~ Emma communicated grinned.
Jean sent out a telepathic blast that hit Emma and Frost's head titled back, she turned back to Jean and narrowed her eyes. She herself fired a telepathic blast and hit Jean. Jean fell back and shook her head.
Jean fired another blast, then another. Emma's head shot back and she snarled turning back to Jean, blood trickled out of her left nostril now. "Bitch," She snapped in reality. She then gathered her strength and blasted Jean with everything she could gather. Jean literally was knocked off her feet by the force and hit the ground out cold. Emma grinned and walked over to her with her arms crossed. "Weakling, you telekinetic telepaths are always weak in the mind," She scolded.
She then turned to the institute to see Charles in the window. 'Charles Xavier,' she thought and then her mind burned with pain as she went back as waves of power blasted her mind. 'NO! He's a telepath!' She mentally screamed, his power was overwhelming and she could no longer stand it, she fell to her knees and then to the ground unconscious.
Charles sat there looking at the fallen telepath. "She's the reason why Bobby is like this," He said to himself.
*** Psylocke aka Elizabeth Braddock, vs. Wolverine and Rogue***
Psylocke got to her fighting stance and Logan glared at her. He let his claws out and growled. "So kid, you think you can go head to head with us?" Logan asked. "Think? I know I can, bloody Americans, always 'We're so tough' bullshit, I should really knock some dignity into you," She said looking rather cross. Logan growled. "Umm, lady, Logan isn't from the states, as far as anyone knows, he's Canadian," Rogue said. "Shut up, southern wench," Betsy snapped. "Ok, now this is just stupid, come on you bitch," Logan snapped. "With pleasure," Betsy replied narrowing her eyes before taking off.
She ran at Logan and stopped just in front of him and jumped into the air and did a spiral, landed behind him and kicked him in the back. Rogue came in with a jump kick and she moved to the side and kneed Rogue in the stomach. She turned to see Logan coming at her with claws out, she moved back as he slashed at her. Logan's claws went straight for her neck and she dodged to the side and connected a vicious hit on his jaw from her elbow.
Psylocke jumped back as glared at the two, not sure on what to do next. Rogue was catching her breath and Logan was already back in action. She let out her psyonic dagger. "Come on then," She said glaring at them.
Logan roared and came in with a hard slash, Psylocke moved to the side and Logan caught her in the stomach with a kick, she moved back in pain and punched him in the face, Logan titled back and snarled turning back to her. He slashed at her head and she ducked under and kicked Logan in the side of the knee, Logan tilted down and Betsy stabbed him in the head with her knife. Logan cried out and then fell unconscious. "That's that," Psylocke said grinning until she felt everything seemingly drain out of her and hit the ground. Rogue with her glove off stood behind her looking down. "Mah god, what's Bobby been doing?" Rogue asked looking through Betsy's memories in shock and horror. "Warren," She then gasped. She knew what Bobby had done to Angel now.
Brian watched from afar, his battle had recently ended. 'Capture my sister? NEVER!' He thought and flew in. Rogue was still going over the memories when she felt a force fly past her, she turned to see what it was and found Psylocke gone. 'Shit,'
***Bobby vs. Cyclops***
Bobby watched at his team started to engage the X-men and turned to Scott. "Now that is happening, let's get this over with," Bobby said with a grin. Scott pulled his hand to his visor. "I'm going to stop you Bobby, you've haunted me enough," Scott said. "To you it's iceman," Robert snapped. "Whatever," Was Scott's response as the crimson beam shot out of his visor and shattered Bobby.
Bobby reformed and slowly took human shape once more. "Ouch," He said grinning and pointed his hand at Scott and a beam that froze anything it hit shot out. Scott dodged around it and fired at Bobby. Bobby did the same as Scott had done and growled angrily. "We don't have to do this Bobby," Scott said. "Stop calling me that!" Bobby shouted and fired a beam at Scott.
Scott rolled to the side and blasted Iceman again, this time shattering him once more. Bobby reformed and cried out in a rage. "You're still just a sloppy kid!" Scott shouted angrily. "Oh that does it!" Bobby shouted back and formed spikes over his right arm. "I learned this from Evan," He said grinning and let them loose. Scott's eyes widened with shock as the deadly ice spikes shot out at him, he shot them down just in time.
Scott looked around for anyone to help him and saw Evan sitting in the X- Van. 'What's he doing?' Scott thought. Evan looked scared. 'He saw him come back from the dead, of course he's scared,' Scott thought frowning. Just then Bobby appeared in his view. And fired a beam at Scott, Scott jumped out of the way but Bobby fired another where he was to land. Scott landed on an ice slick and hit the ground hard and looked up to see Bobby freeze his legs to the ground. "Bobby!" Scott pleaded. "See ya Scotty boy," Bobby said and pointed his index finger at him, it formed into a spike at the end and pointed at Scott's forehead. Just then a bone spiky cut off the arm and Bobby jumped back and saw Evan. "I won't let you do it Bobby," Evan said, shaking slightly. He then fired two spikes that shattered the ice that trapped Cyclops freeing him. "Touching," Bobby said looking annoyed as a new arm liquefied out and then solidified into ice.
***This is now in the real time sequence***
Just then he noticed something. He turned around to see all the able bodied X-men glaring at him. "Robert, please give up," Storm said. "You all can't beat me! You know it! I can't be harmed like this!" Bobby declared. Beast just shook his head slightly. "But you can be contained Bobby, just give up," Beast said. "I'd rather die," Bobby snarled and pointed his hands at them. "I thought you where my friends, I guess I thought wrong," He added. "We are your friends Bobby, you need help right now, that's all," Ray said to his friend. "Shut it Ray," Bobby snapped and was about to fire an ice beam when Scott blasted him from behind shattering him. Magma walked over and melted the ice down. "We have to find something to contain him!" Beast shouted.
Pierce looked around. "This is just too easy," He said. "Vrong," Kurt said limping out holding a sword. "A cripple. A CRIPPLE is going to stop ME?" Pierce then started to laugh fanatically. He ran over to Kurt and swung at him, Kurt barely managed to move back to dodge. "Oh, a quick one huh?" He swung again and this time Kurt swung the blade, removing the cybernetic arm. "Holy shit!" Pierce said in shock looking at where his arm once was. "I'll kill you!" He shouted. He ran at Kurt who swung again and he dodged, he threw a punch with his left arm and Kurt teleported behind him and pulled the blade up. Pierce turned around growling with rage and was about to attack and Kurt retaliated, the blade cut through with amazing precision and blood sprayed everywhere. Kurt stepped back in shock at what he had done. Donald Pierce slowly slipped in half, he had been cut completely down the middle and slipped apart and blood went everywhere. "Nien." Kurt said and dropped the sword and fell to the ground and huddled as best he could in the fetal position with his broken leg crying as his actions.
Bobby kept trying to reform but it was no use, Magma kept melting him down. Beast came out with an odd container and Jean levitated Bobby's puddle into it and it was sealed.
The X-men looked around. Shaw was gone, so where the Braddock's, and Pierce was not in sites. The only person who was still downed was Emma Frost. Beast carried Bobby's container in and Jason picked up Frost and brought her in. Everyone stopped in shock at the site they saw waiting for them. "Looks like we found the other one," Scott mumbled. "Kurt is going to need some counseling I think," Beast said in shock.
The container shook violently. "I think he's mad," Scott pointed out. "Really?" Beast asked rolling his eyes. He took him underground and put him in a holding cell. He quickly opened the container ran out of the cell and shut the door. Bobby took his human shape and became flesh once more. ~Welcome home Bobby~ Professor Xavier's voice said. Bobby growled angrily. 'I'll get out of here, I swear if it's the last thing I do,' He snapped. ~You will once your better~ Xavier assured. Bobby sat down in a corner going over his thoughts. 'I don't need his crap,' He turned to ice so he could think in peace.
3 hours later,
Emma Frost came around in her cell. "This is just perfect," She said sounding annoyed. 'Oh well, Robert will get us out of this soon enough,' She thought cockily. "Unfortunately not Ms. Frost, Bobby is in an air tight steel cell that he cannot break out of," Professor Xavier said wheeling into the cell. "Oh great, I can only assume you're the one who subdued me?" Emma asked. "Yes, that would be me, now I have some matters to discuss with you," Professor X said putting his hands together in front of his face and then setting them on his lap. "Discuss away," Frost said rolling her eyes. "What DID you do to Bobby?" Xavier asked. "Ah, the question I was expecting, I did a lot, be more specific," Emma said coldly. "What did you do to his mind," Xavier said sounding actually angry, something that doesn't happen often to the great Professor Xavier, he lost his cool.
"Well, that's rather complicated, I first implanted mental barriers in his mind to prevent tamping, that took 5 hours," She said. "Then, I read his entire mind to learn everything I could, that didn't take long, 2 minutes," She continued. "After that I put a presence of my psychic energy in his mind, to help guide him and keep him in line, like he feels pain if he wants to hurt me," She explained. "That's monstrous," Xavier said. "It is not monstrous. It is a very smart tactic to keep your minions in line. thought it didn't work out as I had planed." She said frowning. "What do you mean?" Xavier asked. "In his ice form, since he has no organic mind, he is an entity in that form, he ignores everything I did and he cannot be attacked mentally, I'm sure you noted that," Emma said. "So, what did he do? Why hasn't he killed you, since this new Bobby would attack you no doubt," The Professor said. "He did," Emma said sitting back looking cocky. "Then how did you survive if you made his life such a hell?" Xavier asked. "He let me live," She said casually. "Why?" Xavier asked. "That's personal! Mind your own business!" She snapped. "You destroyed one of my student's minds! It IS personal!" Xavier shouted. "Hah! His mind was in a lot worse shape then you THINK when he came to me, yes there are things I did, but the blame can't all be on my shoulders," She snarled back. "Besides, Robert spared me for reasons that you don't need to know about," She said quietly. He just stared at her. "Leave," She added. "No, I own this area, and by all means you are not a guest here under normal circumstances," Xavier said. "What the hell more do you want to know?" She snapped. "It would be easy if you simply told me why he spared you," Xavier said. "Pity?" He added. "Now THAT is just insulting, Robert let me live because he lo. enjoys my company," Emma said. "I see," Xavier said. "I'll be having you transferred to the proper authorities soon," He said and wheeling out as the door shut.
Xavier was outside the air tight cell door for the icy demon, once known as Bobby Drake. ~Bobby,~ He projected to the cell. ~What?~ Snapped back. ~I'm coming inside, will you be calm?~ Xavier asked. ~Why should I be?~ Bobby replied. ~WE doe have Ms. Frost here as well, I'm very certain that Wolverine would be able to get to her before you killed us, and you do know how Wolverine would act if you killed me,~ Xavier said. ~. Fine.~ Bobby said.
Xavier wheeling in, the cell had ice coming off the walls and icicles' coming from the ceiling, the air was a low temperature as well and Xavier looked at his breath. "What do you want Q ball?" Bobby asked sitting back on a chair he made of Ice. "Robert, I'm here to help you," Xavier said. "YEA RIGHT!" Bobby said laughing. "You just want me to come back right? To be a little X-man?" Bobby then snarled. "No Bobby please just listen to me. Ms. Frost and I had a little talk about you." He was cut off by Bobby just looking away looking depressed. "What?" He snapped. Xavier decided this was pointless and looked into Bobby's mind.
He saw many things, and the blocks in place, they where almost impossible to get past, but Xavier did manage to get inside. He saw what Bobby had in his mind. He thought Emma betrayed him to get out. 'Not much faith,' Xavier thought. He then saw the thing Emma had put into his mind, and realized something as he looked over the huge orb among the thoughts, he could only remove it if Bobby let him, he looked over the other things in his mind and discovered some things in there and found out why Bobby had let Emma live, the boy was in love with her. He sighed to himself and knew this was going to be hard, mainly because the only way to get him to forget that would be to lye to him, because he in all honesty didn't know if Emma returned the affections towards him. This situation was indeed most difficult.
"Bobby, just to put you to some rest, Emma has not betrayed you," Xavier said. Bobby immediately turned to ice. "You went inside my head you BASTARD!" He shouted getting off his chair. Xavier looked nervous now. "I did so only to understand why you've done this," The Professor explained. Bobby didn't seem to calm down. "If you're going to change my mind," Bobby transformed back to flesh. "Then do it, I don't have time for these games, make all these 'bad things' go away, I know you can, because right now I'd rather you do that then put up with anymore shit," Bobby said. "Robert, I wouldn't do that," The Professor started. "Oh shut up, you're so full of shit," Bobby snarled and turned to ice. Xavier just sighed. "Bobby, I can remove the link Emma put in your mind, but I need your help to do it," He said. "Why would I want that gone?" Bobby said smirking. "You. know about it?" Xavier asked in shock. "Yea! Duh, she put that in there when I started to work for her, to ensure loyalty, I know it causes me pain to think about harming her while I'm in my fleshy flesh state," Bobby said. "It alters your thoughts slightly too Bobby, and keeps you connected with her, have you considered it might be the source of your attraction to her?" He asked. "No, because I did feel something when I did first meet her," Bobby said in a low voice. "Now, move out of my way and let me OUT!" Bobby shouted. "You know what Bobby, I will on one condition, you let me remove that, if I do, and you still want to go off and do what you did before, I'll let you leave the institute, as long as you don't fight anyone on the way out," Xavier said. Bobby just looked at him. 'It's a trick. but I can't think of another way out of here,' Bobby thought. He turned himself once more into flesh. "Do it then," Bobby said.
Xavier went into Bobby's mind and Bobby just sat in a chair inside his mind. "Hello," Xavier said. "Alright, let's do this," Bobby said rolling his eyes. He walked over to the black orb. "Pick it up Robert," Xavier said. Bobby did, "Smash it," He added. Bobby then tossed it on the ground and it shattered.
Bobby's eyes shot open and looked at the professor. "Well?" He asked. "Can I go now?" Bobby asked. Xavier frowned, he hoped that had been the main source of what ailed Bobby. He did detected distaste for Scott in there, but not enough to change him this much. Xavier then thought of something. 'He's doing it now because he does love that telepath,' Xavier thought grimly. 'It wouldn't matter if she was out to kill half the world at this point,' He added. "Very well Robert, follow me," Xavier said frowning and lead him to Emma's cell. The door opened.
"It's about damn time!" Emma shouted. "Sorry," Bobby replied. "What are you doing with him?" Frost asked. "Made a deal, c'mon lets go," Bobby said in a defeated voice. She left with him to the upstairs area.
Scott and the other X-men watched in horror as Bobby left, before he did he stopped in front of Scott. "This is far from over Scott," He said. Bobby then left with Emma. 'The club's already betrayed me I bet, so, what now?' He asked himself. ~Well, who needs them? Your probably one of the most powerful forces on this planet,~ Emma told him. He smirked at her as they exited the institute grounds. "Yea, your right," He said and grabbed her and kissed her. "You owe me," He said grinning. "Oh how nice," She said grinning back. Bobby's face then turned dead serious. "I do love you, you know that right?" He asked. "Of course, I wouldn't be much of a telepath if I didn't, you still are human some of the time," She replied. "How about you?" He asked. "I'll just have to keep you guessing," She said smirking and put her finger on his noise. "Now, can we go?" She asked. "Course," He replied happily.
Meanwhile,
Magma looked at Jason. "Thanks for saving me out there," She said smiling. "No problem," He said smiling back gently. 'Eating out of the palm of my hand,' He thought evilly.
Scott looked at Jean. "Why. why did he just let him go?" Scott asked. "Scott calm down, I'm sure the professor was just." She was cut off by Scott looking almost out of control. "I can't take this much more," He said to himself rubbing his head and looking very distort. "Scott, are you ok?" Jean asked. "No," Scott replied and walked to his room.

That's chapter 12 is up! Took me a while, hope it's not too sappy or anything, but that' generally how I see Bobby at this point. Anyway, next chapter is a bunch of new stuff coming up, like with the Hood expecially, some surprises all around of course, Magneto's reaction to Michaels leave, and Michael's return to the X-men. Not to mention a lot of happening which you do not see, you'll find some of it out later.
Not to mention, how is Kurt going to deal with what's going on in his life, he just killed someone for the first time, how is he going to get over it?
***IMPORTANT VOTE***
And what's up with Cyclops?
I want your opinion actually, should Cyclops pull an Iceman on everyone? I'm thinking of that because of everything that's wrong with his life, no control over his powers, multiple people out to kill him, and a seeming betrayal from the professor in releasing Bobby. Should Scott betray the X- men? Vote yes or no please, I really want everyone to vote on this, I'll repeat this message at the beginning of the next chapter as well. ***
Apocalypse will most likely be see once I deal with a few minor villains, for now Iceman is out of the way, so the next one to leave view for a while will be Sinister, which should open things up for Nor to come in, heck, Sinister leads to Apocalypse.
