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.
Votes are in, 3-0, Cyclops prepare to make your alternation! LOL. Anyway, keep reading and reviewing, I'll try to get a chapter up at least once every 2 days. This chapter is about Cyclops and the turn of another student. Amara is going to be playing a pretty significant roll over this as well.
By the way, in the next few chapters, don't be surprised if I have Jean leave the team as well. believe me when I say this, she doesn't do it willingly. The X-men seem to come apart at the seams in the next while, but of course do not because there a mainstay team.
A Dark Future Chapter 14- Betrayal
Starts right after the X-men get home from killing Adam
Jean looked at the wounded, once more being treated by Hank and frowned. "The injuries are finally catching up with the risks the team takes it looks like," Hank said sadly. "Let's hope they don't progress beyond this type of injury even," Ororo said frowning. Jean looked at the two. "I'm going to get see how Scott's doing," She stated. Scott had been in regression the last while. He hadn't talked to anyone let alone the professor. The day that Xavier just let Bobby go was the last day he'd been even remotely like he used to. He and Xavier had a 'talk' a little while ago. Needless to say, the entire mansion was worried after the argument nearly got out of hand.
"Scott?" Jean asked knocking on the door. No response. She sighed and opened the door to see Scott sitting there talking to Jason. "Your theories sound more like the delusions of a crazed madman," Scott said. 'Yea, wonder where he picked that up,' Jason thought. "Anyone, I'm going to see Amara, see ya," Jason said before walking past Jean.
"Scott," She said calmly. Scott just sighed. "What is it Jean?" He asked. "I just wanted to see how you where doing," Jean said. "Well what wonderful thing happened to you today Jean?" Scott asked. Jean frowned. "Logan and me killed Adam," She said. Scott looked at her. That was the best news he'd heard all week! "I'm sorry Jean, though I can't say I'll be attending the funeral," Scott said calmly. "Yea, me neither, he was kinda creepy, but he killed about 30 people before we stopped him," She said. "Listen, Jean, I'm not really into this today." Scott said. "Into what?" Jean asked. "Well, I'm different alright?" Scott said. Jean raised a brow. "Look, I just need some time alone alright?" Scott asked. "This is still about Bobby isn't it?" Jean asked, she looked mad, "Jean," Scott was cut off. "FOR FUCKS SAKES SCOTT! Get OVER it, the professor let him go because it was the only way for him to even try to help him! He explained that! Get over it!" She shouted at him. Scott got up. "You know what Jean?! You don't get it, you've never had someone out there looking to kill you, I have, and I'm tired of it! We're not even helping that many people anymore! And we let threats like Iceman go! We should have killed him!" Scott snapped back. Jean froze. "What?" She asked. "We should have put a bullet in his fucking head alright!?" Scott snapped.
"Scott, what's happened to you?" She asked. He stopped and looked confused. "You're an X-man Scott. are you already forgetting that because of the way the world is?" She asked. "I'm starting to see the Professors dream for what it is! A dream!" Scott said. "We've done everything to stop those bills but they kept going on, now mutants are under registration, laws are lack on punishment for people who do crimes against us, and we just sit here hiding in the mansion! There are others out there fighting Jean!" Scott yelled. "I can't believe your saying this," Jean said in shock. "I've had time to think, Magneto is an asshole, so is Mystique, but nice guys come in last, I know that from experience," Scott said. "And what about Bobby Scott? How many people does he or Magneto's men have to kill to stop this Scott?" She asked. "I dunno Jean," Scott replied sadly. "Scott, think about what you're saying," She pleaded. "Yea. yea I will," Scott said in a depressed voice. "You're starting to scare me, please just think about what you're doing," Jean said. Scott looked at her and nodded, she was always there for him. He looked down at the ground and let his head just sag. "Why's life so hard for me?" He asked himself.
Scott heard a voice in his head then. 'He can protect you, he can make your enemies disappear, he can fix your powers and give you all the power you want, and will help the world finally be at peace,' The voice rang in his mind. "Who's there? Professor?" Scott asked to the air in his room. 'Hardly, I am looking for worthy followers to help bring the great En Sabah Nor into life once more, you could help us Scott, he's the savior of all mutant kind,' The voice said. Scott looked out the window and looked for someone. 'You will not find me here, some of your friends have attempted this and failed the test, will you come willingly?' It asked. "Where?" Scott asked in intrigue. 'Meet us at the ruins tonight, we will find you if you go to them, the ruins of once the city of New York,' It said. Scott didn't know why, but he stood up and headed out the door, to where he headed, he knew, to whom he was to meet was another thing.
Scott got into his car and drove out. Xavier was on Cerebro and detected an all too familiar signature, and felt Scott heading towards it. "No," He gasped. "X-men we must stop Scott from going where he's supposed to," Xavier mentally told everyone.
~Son, you must stop the X-men at all costs, they MUST not intercept Cyclops~ Nathaniel told Jason through there link. Jason smirked and nodded. "At last, I don't have to put up with these low class fools anymore," Jason said and geared up.
The X-men met in the front. "Alright, we will be taking the Velocity to cut him directly off and the X-van to pursue him," Storm said. Jean looked desperately worried. "He's finally given in," She said to herself.
"Actually, I have to tell you all something," Jason said walked in front of them. "What is it kid? This ain't time to be messing around," Logan said. Jason grinned evilly. "I can finally stop acting, I've gotten everything I want so far, so my dad has decided to cut my membership," He said. Amara looked at him in shock. "We can still see each other right?" She asked. "I'm afraid not Amara, you see, he's told me, that well, your not allowed to follow Scott," Jason said evilly and levitated a few inches off the ground. "To get to him, you must go through me," He said and his blue eyes turned red. "And its not Jason Lander, it's Jason Essex," He added.
"Alright, I've had it with this kid, and he's finally given me an excuse," Logan said grinning and came at him with claws extended. Jason smirked, dodged his swipe and kneed him in the stomach. After kneeing him he grabbed his arm and threw him away like a rag doll. "That was easy," Jason said grinning, "I'm tired of having to hold back anyway," He added. "Hey ASSHOLE" Everyone heard. He turned to look into the sky and a massive gold like energy black hit him head on, exploding outwards everyone put there arms up to cover from the debris blowing everywhere. Logan was the first to look up. "Michael!" He gasped. Michael landed a few meters away from the smoking crater. He leg was still out of action. He then turned invisible. Jason appeared as the smoke stopped, completely fine with a smirk. "Oh that's it," Berserker said. "Storm!" He added. She and Ray fired a massive amount of energy into Jason. He took the hits without even budging. "I'm so hurt," He said in a mocking tone.
Amara was too shocked to do anything. Jason was acting the whole time? She couldn't believe it. 'My boyfriend is a murderous monster?' She asked herself. "Jason! Stop it!" She screamed at him. "Shut up! I'm trying to do my JOB here," He snarled back.
Spyke let a spike come out of his arm and threw it at Jason, who caught it and sighed. "Oh no." He replied looking bored. He levitated a bit high and Michael appeared below him. "Ray!" Mike shouted. The 2 then laid a massive amount of blasts onto him. The explosion blasted out into the sky. They then heard chuckling, which turned to an insane cackle. "Oh please! Try a new approach already! Here! Let me show you what your little blasts do to me," Jason shouted. He pointed his hands down. A good 100 kinetic blows blasted out all at once. Everyone dodged and jumped aside and the blasted the front of the institutes lawn into a massive sea of craters. "They give me a bit of juice for my kinetic energy blasts, nice trick huh?" Jason said evilly. Everyone was shocked by this.
Jason landed on the ground. "Anyone else?" He asked. Logan came up behind him roaring. Jason looked very pissed and growled, he dodged Wolverines attack and once again kicked him, but this time he grabbed his arm but didn't throw him lightly, he threw him a good 30 feet into the institute wall. Jason turned to be tackled to the ground by Beast. "Let go of me!" He shouted. Beast then punched Jason in the face. Jason managed to get the upper hand and pushed Hank off, he then blasted him with 1 kinetic shot. "Damn, can't fire more then one now," He said.
Michael and Kurt where downed indefinitely now, with there already injured legs the blasts from Jason had done them in.
Dream ran directly at Jason and jumped over him and kicked him in the face as she did it. He moved slightly back from it and turned around swinging; she dodged the punch and kicked him in the stomach. Not much of an effect. "Bitch," He snarled and punched her. "Jason please stop!" Amara shouted, this time flaming up. "Will you shut up?! You're lucky you're now on the list for those I let live!" Jason shouted.
He then noticed Rogue and Jean. Rogue was coming in and he knew what that meant. He blasted Rogue back quickly and was hit by a massive wave of telekinetic power. He hit the institute wall like Logan had earlier. Just hen 8 bony spikes pinned him to the wall. "Got him!" Evan shouted. Jason just shook his head and pulled off the wall with no effort. Jason then shot an energy beam and Jean and knocked her over. 'Remember, Amara, Rogue, Jean and Beast have to survive this,' He added mentally. Storm blasted him with winds but it had no real affect. Just then he turned to see Amara form a magma ball. "Don't make me do this," She pleaded. "Oh will you shut up? I'm starting to regret my choice in you," He said looking annoyed. She glared at him and threw the ball, it was about the size of a baseball. It burned straight through his chest and he gasped, there was a baseball size hole in the middle of his chest. He helplessly fell over.
Everyone capable surrounded him quickly. They then heard something disturbing, laughter. "I. see. I picked. well," He said looking at Amara with an evil smirk on his face before his face went lax and he died. Amara didn't know what to do. She shook for a few moments and fell to her knees, still in her magma form. "We have to get her inside, the team that was going in the X-van stay here, they'll be no chance in getting Scott with the van, take the wounded and Amara inside," Ororo ordered. "Welcome back Michael," She added.
Jean, Misty, Rogue, Ray, Multiple, Sunspot, Storm, Wolverine and Spyke all went to the velocity as quickly as possible in hopes of catching Scott.
"He just died it would seem," Sinister said with his arms crossed. Mesmero looked at him. "I'm deeply sorry for your loss, Apocalypse will try to compensate you," Mesmero said trying to look sympathetic. "Don't pity me, I have not lost anything, you know nothing, my son can't die, he is immortal, every time he dies I just clone him, he's died twice before this, his memories can all be uploaded through me to his new body anyway," Nathaniel said. "Impressive," Mesmero said in awe. "He'll be here any minute, the velocity will be here in 14 minutes, Scott in 2, so we must make sure he joins us," Essex said. "Why is he so important again?" Mesmero asked. "Idiot, he's the only one who can stop me, his powers negate my own when I'm struck by them, if he joins us." He was cut off by Mesmero, "I understand," He replied.
Scott got out of his car and looked at the destroyed surroundings, there where some homeless people about 50 feet away near a fire they made. He sighed at the sight of them. "Good to see you made it Mr. Summers," Mesmero said coming out. Scott reached for his glasses. "I'm not here to fight, I'm here to make an offer, we are here to make an offer that is," He added. Nathaniel Essex, also known as Mr. Sinister stepped out behind Scott. "Hello Scott, it's been a very long time," He said with a slight smile.
"Who the hell are you?" Scott asked. "I'm the man who ran the orphanage you where in until Xavier took you away," He shape shifted into his more human self. "You remember me now?" He asked. Scott gulped. "Yea, yea I remember," Scott said. "Good, and don't think Xavier just betrayed you by letting Iceman go, he's been lying to you from day one," Sinister said with a grin. "Bullshit he was," Scott said. "No, really, you have control over your powers, in a sense," Sinister said. Scott raised a brow. "You can't control them, you should be able to, and here is the reason, you have slight brain damage from the coma you where in from after the plane crash, rather unfortunate," Sinister said. "I can fix it though, I was unable to back then but I can now, come work for me, you will get your powers and eternal life in a sense," Sinister said smiling. "Why?" Scott asked. "Why what?" Sinister replied. "Why me that's what," Scott hissed. "I've had interest in you from day one, your overall genetics are incredible," He explained. 'Not to mention any offspring you where to have would be most interesting,' He thought evilly, knowing exactly how Scott's children would evolve if he bred with another mutant. "I can give you control, I can give almost anything you want in fact," Sinister said. Scott looked away. "We're done talking," He said. "I know how you want humans and mutants to get along, but you're becoming a realist like so many aren't you?" Sinister questioned. "Listen, get lost," Scott said heading for his car.
"She'll leave you, I hope you realize that," Sinister said. Scott froze and turned to him. "Yes, I know all about Jean, she's already thinking of leaving," Sinister said. "I've got contacts," He added. "And I know that's the only reason why you stay at the pitiful institute; you've been betrayed and attacked for some idealistic cause." Sinister said. "How much more must you loose hmmm?" Sinister asked. Scott looked down. He'd be crying if not for his optic blasts. "Your friends will be here to take you away in a minute, pick now," Sinister said seriously. Scott looked at him. "Al.Alright," He said quietly. "Welcome to the Marauders Scott," Sinister said with a grin.
The Velocity landed right by Scott's car and everyone hurried out to see no sign of there leader. Jean then probed the area for him and didn't find anything. "He's gone," She said looking sad. "I know child, but we must go," Ororo said. Jean looked at Scott's car. He'd been too different, he wasn't the same Scott as before, that Scott died when he was put into a coma. "I hope he finds himself," Jean said. "What do you mean?" Evan asked. "Scott isn't Scott anymore, I think I've only been with him out of pity, the fact he didn't need another tragedy in his life." Jean said looking depressed. "Let's just go. I don't think I can stand being here much longer," Jean said.
Just as they where about to leave everyone heard an all too familiar sound. A huge figure landed from the sky and crushed Scott's car. Its jets retracted. "Mutants, you are to surrender to registration by an act of the law, you will do so or be neutralized," The sentinel said. "Shit!" Rogue exclaimed.
The sentinel asked once more. "Storm, give me a charge, everyone else hold it off," Berserker said. "Excellent idea," Ororo said. Remembering what happened to Tyler from the similar tactic.
Jean picked up a giant steel rod with her powers and shot it at the sentinel like a javelin. It stabbed through the middle and destroyed its main gun. The sentinel was now unable to switch to its heavy gun mode. Misty created a mist around its head. The Sentinel fired 12 missiles that automatically tracked, the X-men barely dodged out of the way. The sound of thunder cracked through the air as lightning hit Berserker.
Ray had enough power now. He pointed his fists forwards and a massive blast, thought not nearly as massive as his shot against Tyler blasted the entire Torso of the sentinel into scrap. "Everyone to the Velocity before more come!" Jean shouted.
Everyone arrived back at the institute just as Hank was performing an autopsy on Jason. "This is the most bizarre body I've ever checked over," Hank said. Everyone looked at him, and Amara looked worried. "He has 2 X- genes, like they where grafted onto his DNA, I can tell one is from birth, but he has installed powers," Hank said. "Or had," He mumbled. "My word, genetic experimentation, or alteration," Xavier said frowning. "You mean, he was changed?" Amara asked. "Not recently if that's what your wondering, he's been like this most his life I'd guess," Hank said. The Professor sighed and wheeled up the stairs until he heard a roar from the living room.
Logan looked very angry. "What's he DOING?!" Logan shouted at the TV. Xavier wheeled in front of the TV to see something astonishing. A mutant which was a very big one at that.
He had to be about 9'5, he was covered with muscle and dark blue skin, and he was a giant. He was currently floating in the air laughing hysterically as a black hole in space and time was opened behind him. There where 3 sentinels' facing off against him. "And today a mutant of unknown origin fought the government's new sentinel program, completely destroying two of them," The reporter said. "1 was barely salvageable, making this the 8th sentinels lost since the beginning of the program," The reporter said.
"This type of violence will not help us," Xavier said frowning.
"The mutant killed 231 people as they where sucked into the void behind him, they came out the other side as bodies and hit the ground, they had already decayed according to official for around 80-100 years," She explained.
"Yea. this is not good," Logan said. "I know Logan, I'll check on Cerebro for him," Xavier said frowning, depression as of late had been affecting the telepath.
Meanwhile at an undisclosed location that is not in North America.
"Well Mr. Summers, how do you like your new living arrangements?" Essex asked. "There fine," Scott mumbled. "Stop complaining, fuck, when I got here I was happy as hell!" One of his teammates, Janos, also known as Riptide said. "Leave him alone you worthless little throwback, he's far more important then you!" Sinister snarled. Janos just mumbled something and left the room. "I hope you enjoy your new accommodations Mr. Summers, I think tomorrow we'll discuss your eyesight," Sinister said calmly and left. Scott looked at his new room with a deep sense of guilt.
The next morning Scott woke and groaned holding his head. He remembered everything that had happened, but he still had a headache. Scott slowly got to his feet, had a shower, did his teeth, shaved and then got dressed.
Scott walked out of his room to see Sinister and. Jason?
"Jason?" He asked in shock. "I see you've already met my son," Sinister said. Scott looked shocked. "C'mon, operating table awaits," Jason said. "Operating table?" Scott asked. "I'm fixing your problem," Essex sr. explained. "Alright." Scott said in hesitation.
2 days later,
Scott's eyes slowly opened. "Where. where am I?" He asked. He looked down to see he was in a tube and very naked. "What the FUCK!?"
"Relax," Sinister said throwing him his clothes. "What the fuck!? You didn't go dental on me, I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU." He was cut off. "Idiot, you died in the operation," Sinister snarled. Scott looked shocked. "What?" He asked. "I just told you, you died during the operation, I was forced to clone you, but you should be happy, you came back with control over your powers didn't you?" Sinister asked. Scott then realized everything was in color. "I can see," Scott said in shock. "Of course you can! Now get out of the tank, we have MUCH to discuss," He said sounding annoyed. Scott was still in complete shock over this, he died? But he was back? Was he really even himself anymore?
Scott walked in and saw his 'teammates' with Sinister, Jason wasn't there though. "This is your new team Mr. Summers, you'll do as I ask if you enjoy your freedom," Sinister explained.
Scott looked at the team and raised a brow. "I know you already know Janos," He said. "But this is the other members," He explained. "Kodiak Noatak, also known as Harpoon," He said. Harpoon just glared at Scott. "Grey Crow, also known as Scalphunter," He explained pointing at Scalphunter. "Michael Baer, also known as Blockbuster," He said. "And finally, Lorna Dane, also known as Polaris," He finished. Scott looked at them. "And you all know this is Scott Summers, also known as Cyclops," He explained. The team members all looked at one another. "Since Jason is going to be working with me rather soon, and none of you have shown excelling leadership skills, Mr. Summers will be taking over the squad," Sinister said.
"That is some bullshit!" Harpoon snapped. Sinister glared at him. "I mean. I'm sorry, I was wrong, you're the boss," Harpoon said. Scott knew nothing about Sinister, but for some reason Sinister seemed to be acting more friendly to him and he didn't know why. If he knew why, he'd most likely be in charge.
Scott noted the only one who was close to his age seemed to be the green haired girl Lorna. "So," Scott started. "What?" She asked. "Why are you here?" Scott asked. "Control, money, parents, lots of reasons," She explained. "But the main reason, is because our boss wanted me here," She said. "Oh," Scott said. "You're lucky he favors you, he's most likely interested in who you pick to 'breed' with as he puts it," She said. Scott raised a brow looking almost disgusted. "He's a geneticist, and he breeds stronger mutants, he also works for some guy who's in some crypt," She said. Scott was still shocked. "Stop that, it's not so bad, he'll most likely give you whatever you want that means so you can have some poor bitch spit brats out for him," Janos said from behind. Scott just looked ill for a moment before shrugging it off. "Alright. let's get started on teamwork skills," Scott said, Essex had been good to his word so far, so Scott would be good to his.
Nathaniel and Jason watched through the security monitor how Scott seemed to take charge of the team. "You see son, he's a very good field commander, I finally have someone other than you I can rely on," Sinister said. "Gee, and here I thought I was an only child," Jason said rolling his eyes. "Mind your tongue," Nathan snapped. "Yea ok," Jason replied. "Now then, I wonder who he'll pick," Sinister said. Jason looked at him. "I have to keep him happy you know, I mean I wonder who he'll pick to be with in his social life, because the Summers' family has a very interesting thing about there genes," Sinister said. "What's that?" Jason asked. "If Scott where to bread with another mutant, his gene would merge with the gene from the mother, and ENHANCE the power already there, so no matter what, the child comes out with similar powers to the parent, but enhanced far beyond there predecessor," Sinister said. "Wow. trippy," Jason said. "Please son, use English while talking to me, not slang," Sinister said sounding disappointed. "Whatever," Jason said leaving. "He gets more annoying every day," Sinister said growling.
Meanwhile,
The large blue mutant from the news sat in a corner, he shook with fear. "I wanna go home," He mumbled in his booming deep voice. "Hello child," Said a voice from the shadows as Selene stepped out. "I can take you home," She explained smiling friendlily.
Acolyte Base,
"Gambit!" Magneto shouted. "Yea boss?" Remy asked coming out. "Get the team, I have to deal with some worthless humans who think themselves beyond us," Magneto explained, this would be the first time the full team went out to confront humans in some time. But he knew there weren't just humans where he was going, but traitors to there own kind.
***NEW MAIN CHARACTER*** Scott Summers is now a main character, Alex may be put into this too. I thought it would be cool and do what almost no one does in any one of the mainstream universes and use Scott as a Marauder, I think it's fitting since I made Scott a bad guy, if he was his older self I'd say its retarded, but he's not!
***
That's chapter 14, I liked it, anyway, and next chapter is based around the Acolytes, Tyler, Wanda and a slight bit of the X-men about Michaels return.
Chapter after that will be dedicated to Selene and her new group, there going to be some villains of course, Selene's lead Henchmen is Adam as you've most likely guessed, but he's still dead for now.
Anyway, Please Read and Review, I really want some more, it makes me think I have a purpose to keep continuing to story (, I will either way, but I really like reviews (
Votes are in, 3-0, Cyclops prepare to make your alternation! LOL. Anyway, keep reading and reviewing, I'll try to get a chapter up at least once every 2 days. This chapter is about Cyclops and the turn of another student. Amara is going to be playing a pretty significant roll over this as well.
By the way, in the next few chapters, don't be surprised if I have Jean leave the team as well. believe me when I say this, she doesn't do it willingly. The X-men seem to come apart at the seams in the next while, but of course do not because there a mainstay team.
A Dark Future Chapter 14- Betrayal
Starts right after the X-men get home from killing Adam
Jean looked at the wounded, once more being treated by Hank and frowned. "The injuries are finally catching up with the risks the team takes it looks like," Hank said sadly. "Let's hope they don't progress beyond this type of injury even," Ororo said frowning. Jean looked at the two. "I'm going to get see how Scott's doing," She stated. Scott had been in regression the last while. He hadn't talked to anyone let alone the professor. The day that Xavier just let Bobby go was the last day he'd been even remotely like he used to. He and Xavier had a 'talk' a little while ago. Needless to say, the entire mansion was worried after the argument nearly got out of hand.
"Scott?" Jean asked knocking on the door. No response. She sighed and opened the door to see Scott sitting there talking to Jason. "Your theories sound more like the delusions of a crazed madman," Scott said. 'Yea, wonder where he picked that up,' Jason thought. "Anyone, I'm going to see Amara, see ya," Jason said before walking past Jean.
"Scott," She said calmly. Scott just sighed. "What is it Jean?" He asked. "I just wanted to see how you where doing," Jean said. "Well what wonderful thing happened to you today Jean?" Scott asked. Jean frowned. "Logan and me killed Adam," She said. Scott looked at her. That was the best news he'd heard all week! "I'm sorry Jean, though I can't say I'll be attending the funeral," Scott said calmly. "Yea, me neither, he was kinda creepy, but he killed about 30 people before we stopped him," She said. "Listen, Jean, I'm not really into this today." Scott said. "Into what?" Jean asked. "Well, I'm different alright?" Scott said. Jean raised a brow. "Look, I just need some time alone alright?" Scott asked. "This is still about Bobby isn't it?" Jean asked, she looked mad, "Jean," Scott was cut off. "FOR FUCKS SAKES SCOTT! Get OVER it, the professor let him go because it was the only way for him to even try to help him! He explained that! Get over it!" She shouted at him. Scott got up. "You know what Jean?! You don't get it, you've never had someone out there looking to kill you, I have, and I'm tired of it! We're not even helping that many people anymore! And we let threats like Iceman go! We should have killed him!" Scott snapped back. Jean froze. "What?" She asked. "We should have put a bullet in his fucking head alright!?" Scott snapped.
"Scott, what's happened to you?" She asked. He stopped and looked confused. "You're an X-man Scott. are you already forgetting that because of the way the world is?" She asked. "I'm starting to see the Professors dream for what it is! A dream!" Scott said. "We've done everything to stop those bills but they kept going on, now mutants are under registration, laws are lack on punishment for people who do crimes against us, and we just sit here hiding in the mansion! There are others out there fighting Jean!" Scott yelled. "I can't believe your saying this," Jean said in shock. "I've had time to think, Magneto is an asshole, so is Mystique, but nice guys come in last, I know that from experience," Scott said. "And what about Bobby Scott? How many people does he or Magneto's men have to kill to stop this Scott?" She asked. "I dunno Jean," Scott replied sadly. "Scott, think about what you're saying," She pleaded. "Yea. yea I will," Scott said in a depressed voice. "You're starting to scare me, please just think about what you're doing," Jean said. Scott looked at her and nodded, she was always there for him. He looked down at the ground and let his head just sag. "Why's life so hard for me?" He asked himself.
Scott heard a voice in his head then. 'He can protect you, he can make your enemies disappear, he can fix your powers and give you all the power you want, and will help the world finally be at peace,' The voice rang in his mind. "Who's there? Professor?" Scott asked to the air in his room. 'Hardly, I am looking for worthy followers to help bring the great En Sabah Nor into life once more, you could help us Scott, he's the savior of all mutant kind,' The voice said. Scott looked out the window and looked for someone. 'You will not find me here, some of your friends have attempted this and failed the test, will you come willingly?' It asked. "Where?" Scott asked in intrigue. 'Meet us at the ruins tonight, we will find you if you go to them, the ruins of once the city of New York,' It said. Scott didn't know why, but he stood up and headed out the door, to where he headed, he knew, to whom he was to meet was another thing.
Scott got into his car and drove out. Xavier was on Cerebro and detected an all too familiar signature, and felt Scott heading towards it. "No," He gasped. "X-men we must stop Scott from going where he's supposed to," Xavier mentally told everyone.
~Son, you must stop the X-men at all costs, they MUST not intercept Cyclops~ Nathaniel told Jason through there link. Jason smirked and nodded. "At last, I don't have to put up with these low class fools anymore," Jason said and geared up.
The X-men met in the front. "Alright, we will be taking the Velocity to cut him directly off and the X-van to pursue him," Storm said. Jean looked desperately worried. "He's finally given in," She said to herself.
"Actually, I have to tell you all something," Jason said walked in front of them. "What is it kid? This ain't time to be messing around," Logan said. Jason grinned evilly. "I can finally stop acting, I've gotten everything I want so far, so my dad has decided to cut my membership," He said. Amara looked at him in shock. "We can still see each other right?" She asked. "I'm afraid not Amara, you see, he's told me, that well, your not allowed to follow Scott," Jason said evilly and levitated a few inches off the ground. "To get to him, you must go through me," He said and his blue eyes turned red. "And its not Jason Lander, it's Jason Essex," He added.
"Alright, I've had it with this kid, and he's finally given me an excuse," Logan said grinning and came at him with claws extended. Jason smirked, dodged his swipe and kneed him in the stomach. After kneeing him he grabbed his arm and threw him away like a rag doll. "That was easy," Jason said grinning, "I'm tired of having to hold back anyway," He added. "Hey ASSHOLE" Everyone heard. He turned to look into the sky and a massive gold like energy black hit him head on, exploding outwards everyone put there arms up to cover from the debris blowing everywhere. Logan was the first to look up. "Michael!" He gasped. Michael landed a few meters away from the smoking crater. He leg was still out of action. He then turned invisible. Jason appeared as the smoke stopped, completely fine with a smirk. "Oh that's it," Berserker said. "Storm!" He added. She and Ray fired a massive amount of energy into Jason. He took the hits without even budging. "I'm so hurt," He said in a mocking tone.
Amara was too shocked to do anything. Jason was acting the whole time? She couldn't believe it. 'My boyfriend is a murderous monster?' She asked herself. "Jason! Stop it!" She screamed at him. "Shut up! I'm trying to do my JOB here," He snarled back.
Spyke let a spike come out of his arm and threw it at Jason, who caught it and sighed. "Oh no." He replied looking bored. He levitated a bit high and Michael appeared below him. "Ray!" Mike shouted. The 2 then laid a massive amount of blasts onto him. The explosion blasted out into the sky. They then heard chuckling, which turned to an insane cackle. "Oh please! Try a new approach already! Here! Let me show you what your little blasts do to me," Jason shouted. He pointed his hands down. A good 100 kinetic blows blasted out all at once. Everyone dodged and jumped aside and the blasted the front of the institutes lawn into a massive sea of craters. "They give me a bit of juice for my kinetic energy blasts, nice trick huh?" Jason said evilly. Everyone was shocked by this.
Jason landed on the ground. "Anyone else?" He asked. Logan came up behind him roaring. Jason looked very pissed and growled, he dodged Wolverines attack and once again kicked him, but this time he grabbed his arm but didn't throw him lightly, he threw him a good 30 feet into the institute wall. Jason turned to be tackled to the ground by Beast. "Let go of me!" He shouted. Beast then punched Jason in the face. Jason managed to get the upper hand and pushed Hank off, he then blasted him with 1 kinetic shot. "Damn, can't fire more then one now," He said.
Michael and Kurt where downed indefinitely now, with there already injured legs the blasts from Jason had done them in.
Dream ran directly at Jason and jumped over him and kicked him in the face as she did it. He moved slightly back from it and turned around swinging; she dodged the punch and kicked him in the stomach. Not much of an effect. "Bitch," He snarled and punched her. "Jason please stop!" Amara shouted, this time flaming up. "Will you shut up?! You're lucky you're now on the list for those I let live!" Jason shouted.
He then noticed Rogue and Jean. Rogue was coming in and he knew what that meant. He blasted Rogue back quickly and was hit by a massive wave of telekinetic power. He hit the institute wall like Logan had earlier. Just hen 8 bony spikes pinned him to the wall. "Got him!" Evan shouted. Jason just shook his head and pulled off the wall with no effort. Jason then shot an energy beam and Jean and knocked her over. 'Remember, Amara, Rogue, Jean and Beast have to survive this,' He added mentally. Storm blasted him with winds but it had no real affect. Just then he turned to see Amara form a magma ball. "Don't make me do this," She pleaded. "Oh will you shut up? I'm starting to regret my choice in you," He said looking annoyed. She glared at him and threw the ball, it was about the size of a baseball. It burned straight through his chest and he gasped, there was a baseball size hole in the middle of his chest. He helplessly fell over.
Everyone capable surrounded him quickly. They then heard something disturbing, laughter. "I. see. I picked. well," He said looking at Amara with an evil smirk on his face before his face went lax and he died. Amara didn't know what to do. She shook for a few moments and fell to her knees, still in her magma form. "We have to get her inside, the team that was going in the X-van stay here, they'll be no chance in getting Scott with the van, take the wounded and Amara inside," Ororo ordered. "Welcome back Michael," She added.
Jean, Misty, Rogue, Ray, Multiple, Sunspot, Storm, Wolverine and Spyke all went to the velocity as quickly as possible in hopes of catching Scott.
"He just died it would seem," Sinister said with his arms crossed. Mesmero looked at him. "I'm deeply sorry for your loss, Apocalypse will try to compensate you," Mesmero said trying to look sympathetic. "Don't pity me, I have not lost anything, you know nothing, my son can't die, he is immortal, every time he dies I just clone him, he's died twice before this, his memories can all be uploaded through me to his new body anyway," Nathaniel said. "Impressive," Mesmero said in awe. "He'll be here any minute, the velocity will be here in 14 minutes, Scott in 2, so we must make sure he joins us," Essex said. "Why is he so important again?" Mesmero asked. "Idiot, he's the only one who can stop me, his powers negate my own when I'm struck by them, if he joins us." He was cut off by Mesmero, "I understand," He replied.
Scott got out of his car and looked at the destroyed surroundings, there where some homeless people about 50 feet away near a fire they made. He sighed at the sight of them. "Good to see you made it Mr. Summers," Mesmero said coming out. Scott reached for his glasses. "I'm not here to fight, I'm here to make an offer, we are here to make an offer that is," He added. Nathaniel Essex, also known as Mr. Sinister stepped out behind Scott. "Hello Scott, it's been a very long time," He said with a slight smile.
"Who the hell are you?" Scott asked. "I'm the man who ran the orphanage you where in until Xavier took you away," He shape shifted into his more human self. "You remember me now?" He asked. Scott gulped. "Yea, yea I remember," Scott said. "Good, and don't think Xavier just betrayed you by letting Iceman go, he's been lying to you from day one," Sinister said with a grin. "Bullshit he was," Scott said. "No, really, you have control over your powers, in a sense," Sinister said. Scott raised a brow. "You can't control them, you should be able to, and here is the reason, you have slight brain damage from the coma you where in from after the plane crash, rather unfortunate," Sinister said. "I can fix it though, I was unable to back then but I can now, come work for me, you will get your powers and eternal life in a sense," Sinister said smiling. "Why?" Scott asked. "Why what?" Sinister replied. "Why me that's what," Scott hissed. "I've had interest in you from day one, your overall genetics are incredible," He explained. 'Not to mention any offspring you where to have would be most interesting,' He thought evilly, knowing exactly how Scott's children would evolve if he bred with another mutant. "I can give you control, I can give almost anything you want in fact," Sinister said. Scott looked away. "We're done talking," He said. "I know how you want humans and mutants to get along, but you're becoming a realist like so many aren't you?" Sinister questioned. "Listen, get lost," Scott said heading for his car.
"She'll leave you, I hope you realize that," Sinister said. Scott froze and turned to him. "Yes, I know all about Jean, she's already thinking of leaving," Sinister said. "I've got contacts," He added. "And I know that's the only reason why you stay at the pitiful institute; you've been betrayed and attacked for some idealistic cause." Sinister said. "How much more must you loose hmmm?" Sinister asked. Scott looked down. He'd be crying if not for his optic blasts. "Your friends will be here to take you away in a minute, pick now," Sinister said seriously. Scott looked at him. "Al.Alright," He said quietly. "Welcome to the Marauders Scott," Sinister said with a grin.
The Velocity landed right by Scott's car and everyone hurried out to see no sign of there leader. Jean then probed the area for him and didn't find anything. "He's gone," She said looking sad. "I know child, but we must go," Ororo said. Jean looked at Scott's car. He'd been too different, he wasn't the same Scott as before, that Scott died when he was put into a coma. "I hope he finds himself," Jean said. "What do you mean?" Evan asked. "Scott isn't Scott anymore, I think I've only been with him out of pity, the fact he didn't need another tragedy in his life." Jean said looking depressed. "Let's just go. I don't think I can stand being here much longer," Jean said.
Just as they where about to leave everyone heard an all too familiar sound. A huge figure landed from the sky and crushed Scott's car. Its jets retracted. "Mutants, you are to surrender to registration by an act of the law, you will do so or be neutralized," The sentinel said. "Shit!" Rogue exclaimed.
The sentinel asked once more. "Storm, give me a charge, everyone else hold it off," Berserker said. "Excellent idea," Ororo said. Remembering what happened to Tyler from the similar tactic.
Jean picked up a giant steel rod with her powers and shot it at the sentinel like a javelin. It stabbed through the middle and destroyed its main gun. The sentinel was now unable to switch to its heavy gun mode. Misty created a mist around its head. The Sentinel fired 12 missiles that automatically tracked, the X-men barely dodged out of the way. The sound of thunder cracked through the air as lightning hit Berserker.
Ray had enough power now. He pointed his fists forwards and a massive blast, thought not nearly as massive as his shot against Tyler blasted the entire Torso of the sentinel into scrap. "Everyone to the Velocity before more come!" Jean shouted.
Everyone arrived back at the institute just as Hank was performing an autopsy on Jason. "This is the most bizarre body I've ever checked over," Hank said. Everyone looked at him, and Amara looked worried. "He has 2 X- genes, like they where grafted onto his DNA, I can tell one is from birth, but he has installed powers," Hank said. "Or had," He mumbled. "My word, genetic experimentation, or alteration," Xavier said frowning. "You mean, he was changed?" Amara asked. "Not recently if that's what your wondering, he's been like this most his life I'd guess," Hank said. The Professor sighed and wheeled up the stairs until he heard a roar from the living room.
Logan looked very angry. "What's he DOING?!" Logan shouted at the TV. Xavier wheeled in front of the TV to see something astonishing. A mutant which was a very big one at that.
He had to be about 9'5, he was covered with muscle and dark blue skin, and he was a giant. He was currently floating in the air laughing hysterically as a black hole in space and time was opened behind him. There where 3 sentinels' facing off against him. "And today a mutant of unknown origin fought the government's new sentinel program, completely destroying two of them," The reporter said. "1 was barely salvageable, making this the 8th sentinels lost since the beginning of the program," The reporter said.
"This type of violence will not help us," Xavier said frowning.
"The mutant killed 231 people as they where sucked into the void behind him, they came out the other side as bodies and hit the ground, they had already decayed according to official for around 80-100 years," She explained.
"Yea. this is not good," Logan said. "I know Logan, I'll check on Cerebro for him," Xavier said frowning, depression as of late had been affecting the telepath.
Meanwhile at an undisclosed location that is not in North America.
"Well Mr. Summers, how do you like your new living arrangements?" Essex asked. "There fine," Scott mumbled. "Stop complaining, fuck, when I got here I was happy as hell!" One of his teammates, Janos, also known as Riptide said. "Leave him alone you worthless little throwback, he's far more important then you!" Sinister snarled. Janos just mumbled something and left the room. "I hope you enjoy your new accommodations Mr. Summers, I think tomorrow we'll discuss your eyesight," Sinister said calmly and left. Scott looked at his new room with a deep sense of guilt.
The next morning Scott woke and groaned holding his head. He remembered everything that had happened, but he still had a headache. Scott slowly got to his feet, had a shower, did his teeth, shaved and then got dressed.
Scott walked out of his room to see Sinister and. Jason?
"Jason?" He asked in shock. "I see you've already met my son," Sinister said. Scott looked shocked. "C'mon, operating table awaits," Jason said. "Operating table?" Scott asked. "I'm fixing your problem," Essex sr. explained. "Alright." Scott said in hesitation.
2 days later,
Scott's eyes slowly opened. "Where. where am I?" He asked. He looked down to see he was in a tube and very naked. "What the FUCK!?"
"Relax," Sinister said throwing him his clothes. "What the fuck!? You didn't go dental on me, I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU." He was cut off. "Idiot, you died in the operation," Sinister snarled. Scott looked shocked. "What?" He asked. "I just told you, you died during the operation, I was forced to clone you, but you should be happy, you came back with control over your powers didn't you?" Sinister asked. Scott then realized everything was in color. "I can see," Scott said in shock. "Of course you can! Now get out of the tank, we have MUCH to discuss," He said sounding annoyed. Scott was still in complete shock over this, he died? But he was back? Was he really even himself anymore?
Scott walked in and saw his 'teammates' with Sinister, Jason wasn't there though. "This is your new team Mr. Summers, you'll do as I ask if you enjoy your freedom," Sinister explained.
Scott looked at the team and raised a brow. "I know you already know Janos," He said. "But this is the other members," He explained. "Kodiak Noatak, also known as Harpoon," He said. Harpoon just glared at Scott. "Grey Crow, also known as Scalphunter," He explained pointing at Scalphunter. "Michael Baer, also known as Blockbuster," He said. "And finally, Lorna Dane, also known as Polaris," He finished. Scott looked at them. "And you all know this is Scott Summers, also known as Cyclops," He explained. The team members all looked at one another. "Since Jason is going to be working with me rather soon, and none of you have shown excelling leadership skills, Mr. Summers will be taking over the squad," Sinister said.
"That is some bullshit!" Harpoon snapped. Sinister glared at him. "I mean. I'm sorry, I was wrong, you're the boss," Harpoon said. Scott knew nothing about Sinister, but for some reason Sinister seemed to be acting more friendly to him and he didn't know why. If he knew why, he'd most likely be in charge.
Scott noted the only one who was close to his age seemed to be the green haired girl Lorna. "So," Scott started. "What?" She asked. "Why are you here?" Scott asked. "Control, money, parents, lots of reasons," She explained. "But the main reason, is because our boss wanted me here," She said. "Oh," Scott said. "You're lucky he favors you, he's most likely interested in who you pick to 'breed' with as he puts it," She said. Scott raised a brow looking almost disgusted. "He's a geneticist, and he breeds stronger mutants, he also works for some guy who's in some crypt," She said. Scott was still shocked. "Stop that, it's not so bad, he'll most likely give you whatever you want that means so you can have some poor bitch spit brats out for him," Janos said from behind. Scott just looked ill for a moment before shrugging it off. "Alright. let's get started on teamwork skills," Scott said, Essex had been good to his word so far, so Scott would be good to his.
Nathaniel and Jason watched through the security monitor how Scott seemed to take charge of the team. "You see son, he's a very good field commander, I finally have someone other than you I can rely on," Sinister said. "Gee, and here I thought I was an only child," Jason said rolling his eyes. "Mind your tongue," Nathan snapped. "Yea ok," Jason replied. "Now then, I wonder who he'll pick," Sinister said. Jason looked at him. "I have to keep him happy you know, I mean I wonder who he'll pick to be with in his social life, because the Summers' family has a very interesting thing about there genes," Sinister said. "What's that?" Jason asked. "If Scott where to bread with another mutant, his gene would merge with the gene from the mother, and ENHANCE the power already there, so no matter what, the child comes out with similar powers to the parent, but enhanced far beyond there predecessor," Sinister said. "Wow. trippy," Jason said. "Please son, use English while talking to me, not slang," Sinister said sounding disappointed. "Whatever," Jason said leaving. "He gets more annoying every day," Sinister said growling.
Meanwhile,
The large blue mutant from the news sat in a corner, he shook with fear. "I wanna go home," He mumbled in his booming deep voice. "Hello child," Said a voice from the shadows as Selene stepped out. "I can take you home," She explained smiling friendlily.
Acolyte Base,
"Gambit!" Magneto shouted. "Yea boss?" Remy asked coming out. "Get the team, I have to deal with some worthless humans who think themselves beyond us," Magneto explained, this would be the first time the full team went out to confront humans in some time. But he knew there weren't just humans where he was going, but traitors to there own kind.
***NEW MAIN CHARACTER*** Scott Summers is now a main character, Alex may be put into this too. I thought it would be cool and do what almost no one does in any one of the mainstream universes and use Scott as a Marauder, I think it's fitting since I made Scott a bad guy, if he was his older self I'd say its retarded, but he's not!
***
That's chapter 14, I liked it, anyway, and next chapter is based around the Acolytes, Tyler, Wanda and a slight bit of the X-men about Michaels return.
Chapter after that will be dedicated to Selene and her new group, there going to be some villains of course, Selene's lead Henchmen is Adam as you've most likely guessed, but he's still dead for now.
Anyway, Please Read and Review, I really want some more, it makes me think I have a purpose to keep continuing to story (, I will either way, but I really like reviews (
