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.
Legion has a rather large roll to play in my story, and I'm going to be keeping the Horsemen the same as before.
Pestilence= Mystique Death= Xavier War= Magneto/ original War, but he's deceased as you all know Famine= Storm
The Juggernaut will have a roll to play as well, but since Ascension two is not out, by the time I write what happens, it will most likely be different, I've got some funny ass ideas though about what happens while the Horsemen and Apocalypse fight. Selene will be back for the main battle as well, you'll see how eventually. But REMEMBER, how I SEE THE PYRAMIDS work is possibly DIFFERENT from the shows, so do remember that. Sam's powers will be realized *in the comics he is an external*, and much that goes on will be different. Anyway, the story now continues.
A Dark Future Chapter 22- Hunters and the Hunted
Xavier got onto the Black Bird with Jean, Ororo, Wanda, Logan, Jacen and Kurt. "Remember, this is a fragile situation, and I'll be speaking with David's mother," Xavier said. "Ve had no idea you vhere a father Herr Xavier," Kurt said. "Neither did I," Charles mumbled. "Vhat vas that?" Kurt asked. "Nothing Kurt," Xavier replied. With that the Black Bird took off.
It would be some time before they arrived in Britain, and they had no idea the shocking things that would happen there, nor did they have any idea of what was going to happen back at the institute.
1 hour later,
Jason stepped off the jet that had landed outside Bayville. He turned around as his 4 associates came off. "I see you can follow orders normally, so follow me," Essex snapped. "Sure, why not," Scott mumbled. Nathaniel often had a certain way of telling orders, unfortunately Jason had not inherited that, he was too much of an asshole while in command, actually, scratch that. Scott found that Jason was an asshole in GENERAL when not acting as his alter ego that he was in the institute.
"Why are we doing this again?" Illyana asked. "Because my dad wants to ensure that my kid, his grandkid, gets the proper care it needs and is not hunted down with its mother before it's born by sentinels," Jason explained. "Fair enough, can we get this over with?" Lorna asked. "Of course, your questions are stalling us, not me," Jason said rolling his eyes.
Jason looked at the institute and saw the front gate was out of commission. "I think someone else has attacked recently," Jason said folding his arms. "I'm not thinking the front door is a smart approach," Scott said. "Your right, Scott, blast a hole in the wall, then the mansion," Jason said. "If you say so," Scott replied, knowing it would just rouse the X-men, but he really didn't care if Jason failed.
Amara looked at the other members of the X-men who where still there. "So. A kid at 15." Tyler said looking away for a moment. "Must be hard." He started. "If you have nothing new to talk about Acolyte, don't talk at all," Michael said. "You got a problem Raynor?" Tyler snapped back. Just then the wall exploded with a red optical beam blasting through the wall. The X-men got up and faced the hole and looked ready for battle.
"Distract them while I get Magma wouldn't you?" Jason said calmly walking off to the side and then flying into the air. "Gee, thanks for letting me know that BEFORE I shot," Cyclops said with sarcasm dripping off every word and turned back to see the X-men moving through the hole.
"Ray, stay back and guard Amara," Kitty ordered. "Alright," Ray said nodding.
Roberto was the first out the door so to speak and was blasted through a wall by Cyclops.
Tyler immediately noted what type of beam hit Roberto. "CYCLOPS!" He shouted. Everyone got ready for the former team field commander and possibly his entire troops. What they saw was Alex, Lorna, Illyana and Scott standing there. 'It doesn't make sense, we outnumber and outgun them,' Rogue thought.
Ray pulled Amara into another room. "Don't worry, we'll be safe here," Ray assured her. "Oh I'm sure you'll be safe Amara," A voice in a friendly tone said from the shadows. Ray charged up and glared at where it came from as Jason stepped into view. "Did you miss me?" He said with a smirk played across his face. Ray and Amara's face's both when to complete shock and horror. Ray stepped back and his jaw dropped in fear, he knew exactly what Jason's powers where, and knew what would happen if he used his on him. "Ray, I see your smarter then your profile gives you credit for, now run along, I want to talk to my little darling Amara," Jason said with a sly grin on his face. "Go on, shoo," Jason said, now narrowing his eyes. Berserker shook with rage and looked at Amara. "I'll be back with help, I promise," He said quickly.
"Amara, how have you been, you look great, working out?" Jason asked with a smirk. "W-what do you want Jason?" Amara said stepping back. "I want a big house, a nice car, and unlimited money and an army of slaves, but you don't see me getting it, yet anyway," He said with a grin. "But really," He said. "I want to take you with me," He said putting his hand out. "High time you met my dad," He added. "You died," She said stepping back. "Yes, yes I did, and we must have a talk about our relationship since you eliminated my original body, that was VERY annoying," He said putting his hands on his hips and creating a face of mock anger, frankly he didn't care that she killed him once.
'He's crazy,' Amara thought immediately. "And I know what your thinking, he's nuts, or he's lost it," Jason started. "No, I haven't, I've just come to pick up my girl friend, you'll thank me later," He said grinning evilly. Amara didn't know what to do now. "5 sentinels are on there way here, your friends are going to be captured or killed, and I know you can't use your powers, come with me now," Jason said extending his hand, his kidding face was now gone and he was dead serious. "I will take you by force if needed," Jason added. Amara didn't hear anyone coming down the hall and Jason now looked impatient. "Al-alright," She barely whispered out. He took her hand and grinned. "A decision you won't soon regret," Jason said and took off out the window. ~I have her, pull back NOW~ He said to his team.
Cyclops fell back and picked up the drained Havoc, Rogue had gotten a hold of him. "Pull back!" Scott shouted. Lorna whipped the X-van at Tyler who caught it. Cyclops then blasted it and it exploded. He dragged his brother away. Illyana stood there quietly with Sunspot, Berserker, and Sam all unconscious around her, she quietly teleported away not saying a word.
The New Recruits, Kitty, Evan and Rogue where about to regroup when they saw it slam into the ground before them, a sentinel. They turned around and saw others landing. Kitty fazed through the ground to the underground part of the institute holding Rogue and Evan. But unfortunately, Isabel, Tyler, Ana, Berserker, Sunspot and the others stood helpless looking at the metal monoliths.
"This is it?" Lance asked. "Yea, this is the place Selene told us about," Answered Julio, the two earth quaking mutants stared at the base and Pixie stepped forwards. "Come on then! Shit we don't have all day!" Neona snapped.
Pyro watched Apocalypse 'kill' Magneto again. He was laughing hysterically until the base began to rumble. "We're not on a blooming fault line, so that means," He was cut off as the wall fell down. "Hey Avalanche, how are ya?" John said nervously. "Fine, thanks for keeping the base warm for us, but you can leave now," Lance said. "But this is my home!" Pyro protested. "He can stay, his aura is a darkish gray, but he's nice at heart," Pixie said smiling slightly. "Yea! Ya here that? Old John is a good guy!" Pyro said. "DJ, kill him," Lance said. "WAIT!" Pyro said putting his hands up. "Guys, stop teasing yo," Toad said hopping forward. "JOHN! What the hell is going on out there?" Everyone heard a voice shout. The Brotherhood snarled to each other and looked in its direction. "Pietro," Lance said angrily.
"Fred, Toad. Lance. D.J." Pietro started and gulped. "Hey Pietro. How ya doing old buddy?" Lance said in mock enthusiasm. "Now guys, listen, I can explain," He said. He was lying in bed right then, his hip was still out of action. "Well let's here it old friend," Lance said smirking evilly. Pietro, immobile and defenseless looked on his old team with fear. "Well, he's my dad," Pietro started. "We knew that," Fred said. "What do you want me to do? Attack my father?" Pietro snapped. "He does have a point yo," Toad said. "Shut it Toad," Lance snarled. "Leave him alone Lance," DJ said hobbling in. "I mean it," He added. "Yea Lance, the guy's not going anywhere," Tabitha added. "Fine," Alvers growled. "But I'll be keeping my eyes on you speedy," He said dangerously. "Welcome to the New Brotherhood Base," Lance said smirking, looking over the massive Acolyte base. 'Until Omega Red and Sabertooth get back here ya stupid bloke,' Pyro thought.
Adam shivered as he felt something cold on his back. He did it again as it was put back on and it felt wet. He opened his eyes to see two people, one sitting and one standing next to him. His vision was hazed for a moment and he stood up. "Are you alright?" Jubilee asked. "You've been out for hours," She added. Adam noted that his burn didn't hurt as much. "We cooled it down for you, the least we could do since you helped Maddy," Jubilee added. Adam gave the pair a death glare. "I did no such thing," He snapped and stood up, now able to fit his leather armor back on. "And I don't want, or need your pity," He added angrily.
He looked out the window and saw it was starting to snow lightly. 'Just great,' He thought. He pushed the door open and saw everyone starting to gather in one place. "Where are you going?" He asked one man who looked about 40. "There feeding us," He responded. "Really," Adam said. He turned back to the barrack. "Get out here, there feeding us," He snarled loudly.
After the slop they where fed Jubilee and Madelyn went back to the barrack while Adam practiced. "What are you doing?" A child asked. "Training," Adam replied not even looking at him, continuing what he is doing. "Why?" The child asked. "To stay strong," Adam replied throwing a few other punches. "Are you a soldier?" The kid asked. "No," Adam replied. "A fighter?" He asked. "Yes," Adam replied. "Really?" The kid added. "YES!" Adam snarled. The kid smiled. "Your one of the first people who can fight here!" The 6 year old said. Adam stopped and looked confused. "What do you mean?" Adam asked.
Adam stormed into the bunker and looked at Jubilee and Madelyn. "No one here can fight!" He shouted angrily. "Well duh, not everyone becomes a paramilitary member or a soldier for a cause who's a mutant, most people just want to live out there lives," Madelyn said. "Real shame," Jubilee said with a bit of sarcasm. "I was hoping to use a few of them to get out of this piss hole!" Adam snarled. "There's no getting out," Madelyn said depressed. "Probably for the best too," She added. Adam looked at the two. "A day and your already broken," He said with disgust. "Well what do you expect us to do? We have no powers, the guards outgun and outnumber us, and barely anyone here has any real training," Madelyn said. "Yea!" Jubilee added.
"You're both a waste of my time, get out," He ordered. "No!" Jubilee replied. "I SAID GET OUT!" He roared. Madelyn got up and took Jubilee's hand. "Come on Jubilee," She said sadly. Adam stood alone in the bunker and moment and sat down. "I'll get out of here," He said to himself looking almost insane. "I swear I will, Apocalypse, Rictor, and these worthless humans, they'll all pay for what they did to me," He said gripping his fist. "I swear if it's the last thing I do," He added.
He stared into space for some time after that. He saw the snow starting to pile up. He went and opened the door and looked around for the people. He saw Jean and Jubilee outside huddled with a group of others. 'Why haven't they gone to another bunker?' He thought curiously. He stepped out and walked over.
"Why are you here?" He asked. "The other bunkers are run by people now, not Tom, and they didn't want anyone else in them," Jubilee said looking ready to cry and shivering. He glanced over at the others and then back to Madelyn and Jubilee and growled. "Get inside," He snapped pointing at the Barrack. The other 9 looked at him and smiled slightly. They where all men and Adam had an idea why they where trying to be nice to Madelyn and Jubilee. "Can we come to sir?" One asked. "Freeze," Adam said emotionlessly and walked away. The 9 looked shocked and dismayed over his comment.
"Thank you," Jubilee and Madelyn both said. "Shut up," Adam hissed. "You're lucky I was in a good mood," He added coldly. "Why are you being such an asshole?" Madelyn asked. "Why? I'M STUCK IN A FUCKING CONCENTRATION CAMP AND WAS BRANDED!" Adam shouted. "So was I!" She screamed back. Adam's eye twitched angrily. "Do you want to leave outside again?" He snapped. "No," She said quietly. "Then shut the fuck up!" He shouted. "I'm going to find a way out of here," He said angrily. "Adam, it's a lost cause we can't get out," Jubilee said. "We'll see," Adam said.
The next day,
Adam watched as a new aircraft arrived. "More people," He said crossing his arms. About an hour later and Adam grinned at who it was. ~Well Madelyn, some of your friends, and I think one of your enemies have decided to join us it would seem~ Adam told telepathically.
Madelyn looked shocked after hearing that and rushed outside, and cursed the human guards for not giving anyone winter clothing. She then saw an amazing site.
The Juggernaut hit the cold ground hard with a new burn on his back. He barely got to his feet and stared over at the figure watching him with a smirk. "Well, well, the Juggernaut," Adam said. "Selene gave us a rather nice profile on the unstoppable Juggernaut, looks like the government found something to put you down," He said. Behind the Juggernaut Tyler hit the ground, followed soon by Berserker, Sunspot, Isabel, Jamie, and Ana where next. Adam couldn't help but feel overjoyed, finally some people who could at least fight. "Welcome to the Alaskan get away for mutants, I hope you enjoy your stay," Adam said and gave a mocking bow. The mutants all glared at him. "Jean?" Everyone aside from Cain gasped as Madelyn came into view. "Come on," Madelyn said gesturing her hand towards the bunk. "We have a lot to talk about," She added.
"So, you mean you need us to break out?" Ray said crossing his arms. "Yes," Adam said. "No one here even has powers!" Roberto said. "That's not entirely true," Madelyn said looking away for a moment. Adam knew that Selene had taught her a few tricks. "What can you do?" He asked. "I can shoot a few energy bolts, and I can make a few people sleep," She said. "Good enough," Adam said. He turned to the others. "If you want to get out, you're going to have to work with me," He said. "And, first, we're going to have to find the controls for these god damn collars, as soon as there off, we win," Adam explained. "So, let's get to planning," Ana said.
"The most deadly of us in our current states, based on what I know, is me, Adam, Ana, and Cain," Madelyn explained. "As soon as our collars are off, everyone here will be able to fight, over a hundred mutants," Madelyn added. "It could take hours to weeks to plan, but we are going to get out," She added, finally some hope in her voice. Adam grinned. 'That's more like it,' He thought. "This is more like it," He said. Not one of the X-men trusted him at all, and naturally each one had good reason not to. Adam mentally grinned. He then looked dead serious at the X-men, after the battle he could even use them for the means of revenge on Apocalypse, and then he could turn on them later. 'It's always great to be smarter then almost everyone around you,' He thought evilly. ~Now Adam, that's not very nice to use your allies like that~ Madelyn told him. He glared at her. ~You should be lucky your not one of them, keep with me and you might get somewhere~ He told her narrowing his eyes. He then sat back on his bed as the others got settled in. 'God damn that woman,' He thought putting up his mental shields. 'More trouble then she's worth,' He added. 'Yes. definitely too much trouble. She doesn't know anything; I don't need her. right?' He then snapped out of it. 'Damn bitch,' He thought again angrily, that cycle seemed to repeat itself for the remainder of the day and then night.
The Juggernaut remained silent through the rest of the talking, but it was still obvious they would be there for at least a good month.
Meanwhile, in Britain,
"I wonder how the others are doing," Xavier said. "I'm sure they are fine professor," Jean assured him. "Yes, I suppose your right. for now all that matters is David," He said. He wheeled up to the house with the others around him. Hank knocked on the door and Mrs. Haller opened it. "Charles," She said almost angrily. Charles and her stared at one another a moment, it was a cold silence. "Gabrielle," Charles said. There was another cold silence. "May we come in?" Xavier asked. Mrs. Haller didn't give as much as a cold look before gesturing the mutants to enter.
Lucas walked looked at Xavier enter the home with his 'lackeys'. "This will be more interesting then I thought it would be. father," He said narrowing his eyes.
Xavier and his wife bickered as the other X-men watched. "If you had told me about him this could have been avoided!" Xavier shouted. "Do you actually believe that Charles? Do you actually believe you would have time for us?" She screamed back. "I can see why they divorced," Michael said. "Quiet, this is between them," Storm said hushing him. "That's fucking retarded," Michael muttered. "Language!" Storm hissed. 'Damn scary weather bitch,' Michael thought. "And I am not a bitch," Storm snarled. 'Wow, what is she psychic?' He thought. "And no, I'm not psychic either, you and the others are just incredibly predictable," Ororo said. "I resent that," Michael said. "As you should," She said.
Logan walked outside and heard something in the bushes. He was weary due to it being nightfall. "Hey, I could use some backup out here," Logan said. The figure grinned seeing who it was. 'My contacts where right, he is here,' The shaded person thought. 'Come Logan, come to your death' He added.
Beast came out next to Logan with Kurt. "Are you sure you heard something Herr Logan?" Kurt asked. "Yea," Logan said. He then sniffed the air, someone was definitely hiding nearby. He walked over to the bush and let his claws out, he then recognized the smell. "ACOLYTE!" He shouted turning to Beast and Kurt, the bush tore apart as Omega Red's coils flew out and wrapped around Logan and lifted him into the air. "Weapon X," He said smiling insanely. "It is good to see you again," He added. "Because this will be the last time I, or anyone else greets you ever again," Logan was then whipped through the side of Mrs. Haller's mansion. She screamed as she saw the bleeding and barely moving Logan.
"My word!" Charles said in shock. Omega Red stepped through the hole in the wall. "Omega Red!" He shouted. Arkady turned to Xavier and his ex-wife, but quickly turned back to Logan. "After all this time I finally have you," He said grinning.
A boy with dark black hair and streak white bangs jumped in front of Logan. "Not yet," Jacen said and his dark blue eyes then started to glow. "Fool, you cannot stop me," Arkady snapped. His tendril shot out and Jacen moved faster then Omega Red could follow, right by his tendril and gave him a swift upper cut into a wall. "That takes care of that," Jacen said cockily. Omega Red got up and a tendril got around Jacen's ankle. "Shit," Jacen said. Omega Red used all his strength and thrashed his tendril into a wall, Jacen with insane speeds like the end of a whip cracked into the wall and fell to the ground and twitched twice.
Omega Red grinned at his hand work and was about to move on when two blue muscular arms put him into a full nelson. "That's quite enough friend," Hank said. Omega Red's coils went behind him, wrapped around Hank's mid section and squeezed as they drained the energy from his body. Omega Red felt revitalized as Hank hit the ground. Logan got back to his feet now and was ready for action.
Omega Red was thrown into a wall by Jean using her TK and snarled with anger as she pinned him there. "Stop interfering!" He shouted. Xavier was shocked that Omega Red had gone to such lengths to attack Logan now that Magneto was out of the way. Omega Red once more relied on his coils as they slithered out and one speared Jean in the leg. She fell down in pain and he fell off the wall. Mrs. Haller now was scared to death as she saw the 7 ft Russian Super Soldier attack again. this time destroying a 300o dollar vase in the process. 'He'll cost me a fortune,' She thought. ~Don't worry I'll pay for the damages. and have Logan pay me back for leading this ignorant monster here~ Xavier assured her.
Omega Red was kicked in the back of the head by an invisible force (Michael) and stumbled forwards to be stabbed in the stomach by Wolverine, the blades did not even scratch his skin. Omega Red then punched Logan with a massive right and his super human strength made Wolverine flying through the fireplace and out the other side. "My fireplace! It was custom designed, it'll cost me." She was cut off. "I will pay for it don't worry," Xavier said. ~Everyone, take the fight outside before you cost me a small fortune!~ Xavier scolded mentally.
Storm took the command and her eyes glowed, she blasted Omega Red with 400 mph winds and sent him through the hole in the fireplace where he broke through a tree outside.
Omega Red saw this battle was not turning in his favor but his hatred for Logan fueled him to get up. "I will not be defeated! I am a living weapon! I will have my vengeance!" He shouted. Logan got up now. "Sure bub, I've heard that line before," Logan snapped. The X-men had now gathered in behind Logan. Omega Red sweated looking at them and snarled. Jean was about to go on the offensive again when a telekinetic bolt blasted her back and she landed unconscious beside Xavier who looked shocked and confused.
Jacen turned and looked around. "He's got a friend!" Jacen shouted. Wolverine snarled and glanced around and sniffed the air. "He's right! Mutant 3 o'clock!" Wolverine shouted. Lucas came into view. "Hello, I hope you've enjoyed you stay in England, and I hope you loved it so much that you already picked out your grave sights," He said floating there. Omega Red narrowed his eyes on him but then back on the X-men. "We are partners for now stranger," He yelled towards Lucas. "Agreed Russian, this of course, may be the start of a beautiful friendship," Legion shouted back. 'I hope not,' Omega Red thought.
Kurt Bamfed behind Omega Red with sword in hand and slashed down his back, it made a scraping noise and a few sparks came out, but there was not even a scratch. Omega Red roared and spun around and caught Kurt in the side of the ribs with a strong kick sending him flying. He was then blasted in the back by a volley of energy beams from Specter.
Legion saw his chance and blasted Michael with TK but was blasted by a lightning bolt from storm for his trouble. He hit the ground hard and jumped to his feet and morphed into Ian. "IAN!?" Mrs. Haller said in shock. "Do you know that boy?" Xavier asked. "Yes, David found him a few years ago," She said. Xavier now grew suspicious.
Ian formed a massive fireball and shot Storm with it sending her flying. Beast had regained his strength from Omega Red's attack and jumped out. He saw a boy and raised an eyebrow. "Since when was the enemy a 9 year old kid?" He asked himself. During his time of thought Ian formed back into Lucas. "Hello chap," He said and mentally attacked Hank knocking him out.
Logan ran down to where he swore Omega Red had been blasted by Michael. "Weapon X!" He heard from the side and was tackled to the ground. Omega Red's red pupils shined with raged as he pinned him to the ground with his coils and grabbed his neck. "After I finish with you, I will be able to hunt down that disgusting fool Sabertooth, and then I will find Maverick, then Silverfox, and finally Wrath and I will be done with you all!" Omega Red shouted. "Why where you working with Sabertooth before then?" Logan demanded. Omega Red chuckled. "Because it made it much easier to eliminate you, the strongest member of Weapon X, while Sabertooth would die shortly after we together eliminated you," Omega Red explained. "Magneto is now gone, and so is that plan, but so are you, goodbye Logan," Arkady said with a malice grin.
Before he could strike the final blow Jacen came in with a diving jump kick that sending Omega Red flying, but since his coils had Logan pinned, Logan went with him. The pain both smashed into a tree and hit the ground. "Oops, sorry about that," Jacen said sheepishly. Logan untangled himself before Omega Red recovered and moved back. "This is crazy," Logan said as Omega Red got up. Michael flew from above. "Run! It's time to make some crater fun!" Specter shouted. Logan and Lynch immediately knew what he meant. They took off and Arkady was about to make chase when a massive barrage of explosives energy blasts leveled the area.
"Who the hell is that guy?" Jacen asked. "Kid, all I know is his codename, I don't even know who he is at all, but he seems to hate me as much, if not more, then another guy I know," Wolverine said. "I'm not a popular guy apparently, and most of the time I don't even know why," He added.
Omega Red lay in a 10 meter wide and 3 meter deep crater. "I hate Wolverine," He said getting up shakily. He started to make his way after Logan, possessed by his rage.
Legion blasted Storm away once more and stood there for a moment before screaming. "NO!" He finally shouted and morphed into David. "Where. where am I?" David said in shock. Xavier, Gabrielle, and the others who where still conscious looked at him hard, and Xavier gasped in shock once his ex- wife spoke, "David?"

Cutting Chapter 22 off there, it will continue from that point from the next chapter, lots of interesting stuff I hope. Omega Red will be continuing his hunt for Logan as well...

Legion has a rather large roll to play in my story, and I'm going to be keeping the Horsemen the same as before.
Pestilence= Mystique Death= Xavier War= Magneto/ original War, but he's deceased as you all know Famine= Storm
The Juggernaut will have a roll to play as well, but since Ascension two is not out, by the time I write what happens, it will most likely be different, I've got some funny ass ideas though about what happens while the Horsemen and Apocalypse fight. Selene will be back for the main battle as well, you'll see how eventually. But REMEMBER, how I SEE THE PYRAMIDS work is possibly DIFFERENT from the shows, so do remember that. Sam's powers will be realized *in the comics he is an external*, and much that goes on will be different. Anyway, the story now continues.
A Dark Future Chapter 22- Hunters and the Hunted
Xavier got onto the Black Bird with Jean, Ororo, Wanda, Logan, Jacen and Kurt. "Remember, this is a fragile situation, and I'll be speaking with David's mother," Xavier said. "Ve had no idea you vhere a father Herr Xavier," Kurt said. "Neither did I," Charles mumbled. "Vhat vas that?" Kurt asked. "Nothing Kurt," Xavier replied. With that the Black Bird took off.
It would be some time before they arrived in Britain, and they had no idea the shocking things that would happen there, nor did they have any idea of what was going to happen back at the institute.
1 hour later,
Jason stepped off the jet that had landed outside Bayville. He turned around as his 4 associates came off. "I see you can follow orders normally, so follow me," Essex snapped. "Sure, why not," Scott mumbled. Nathaniel often had a certain way of telling orders, unfortunately Jason had not inherited that, he was too much of an asshole while in command, actually, scratch that. Scott found that Jason was an asshole in GENERAL when not acting as his alter ego that he was in the institute.
"Why are we doing this again?" Illyana asked. "Because my dad wants to ensure that my kid, his grandkid, gets the proper care it needs and is not hunted down with its mother before it's born by sentinels," Jason explained. "Fair enough, can we get this over with?" Lorna asked. "Of course, your questions are stalling us, not me," Jason said rolling his eyes.
Jason looked at the institute and saw the front gate was out of commission. "I think someone else has attacked recently," Jason said folding his arms. "I'm not thinking the front door is a smart approach," Scott said. "Your right, Scott, blast a hole in the wall, then the mansion," Jason said. "If you say so," Scott replied, knowing it would just rouse the X-men, but he really didn't care if Jason failed.
Amara looked at the other members of the X-men who where still there. "So. A kid at 15." Tyler said looking away for a moment. "Must be hard." He started. "If you have nothing new to talk about Acolyte, don't talk at all," Michael said. "You got a problem Raynor?" Tyler snapped back. Just then the wall exploded with a red optical beam blasting through the wall. The X-men got up and faced the hole and looked ready for battle.
"Distract them while I get Magma wouldn't you?" Jason said calmly walking off to the side and then flying into the air. "Gee, thanks for letting me know that BEFORE I shot," Cyclops said with sarcasm dripping off every word and turned back to see the X-men moving through the hole.
"Ray, stay back and guard Amara," Kitty ordered. "Alright," Ray said nodding.
Roberto was the first out the door so to speak and was blasted through a wall by Cyclops.
Tyler immediately noted what type of beam hit Roberto. "CYCLOPS!" He shouted. Everyone got ready for the former team field commander and possibly his entire troops. What they saw was Alex, Lorna, Illyana and Scott standing there. 'It doesn't make sense, we outnumber and outgun them,' Rogue thought.
Ray pulled Amara into another room. "Don't worry, we'll be safe here," Ray assured her. "Oh I'm sure you'll be safe Amara," A voice in a friendly tone said from the shadows. Ray charged up and glared at where it came from as Jason stepped into view. "Did you miss me?" He said with a smirk played across his face. Ray and Amara's face's both when to complete shock and horror. Ray stepped back and his jaw dropped in fear, he knew exactly what Jason's powers where, and knew what would happen if he used his on him. "Ray, I see your smarter then your profile gives you credit for, now run along, I want to talk to my little darling Amara," Jason said with a sly grin on his face. "Go on, shoo," Jason said, now narrowing his eyes. Berserker shook with rage and looked at Amara. "I'll be back with help, I promise," He said quickly.
"Amara, how have you been, you look great, working out?" Jason asked with a smirk. "W-what do you want Jason?" Amara said stepping back. "I want a big house, a nice car, and unlimited money and an army of slaves, but you don't see me getting it, yet anyway," He said with a grin. "But really," He said. "I want to take you with me," He said putting his hand out. "High time you met my dad," He added. "You died," She said stepping back. "Yes, yes I did, and we must have a talk about our relationship since you eliminated my original body, that was VERY annoying," He said putting his hands on his hips and creating a face of mock anger, frankly he didn't care that she killed him once.
'He's crazy,' Amara thought immediately. "And I know what your thinking, he's nuts, or he's lost it," Jason started. "No, I haven't, I've just come to pick up my girl friend, you'll thank me later," He said grinning evilly. Amara didn't know what to do now. "5 sentinels are on there way here, your friends are going to be captured or killed, and I know you can't use your powers, come with me now," Jason said extending his hand, his kidding face was now gone and he was dead serious. "I will take you by force if needed," Jason added. Amara didn't hear anyone coming down the hall and Jason now looked impatient. "Al-alright," She barely whispered out. He took her hand and grinned. "A decision you won't soon regret," Jason said and took off out the window. ~I have her, pull back NOW~ He said to his team.
Cyclops fell back and picked up the drained Havoc, Rogue had gotten a hold of him. "Pull back!" Scott shouted. Lorna whipped the X-van at Tyler who caught it. Cyclops then blasted it and it exploded. He dragged his brother away. Illyana stood there quietly with Sunspot, Berserker, and Sam all unconscious around her, she quietly teleported away not saying a word.
The New Recruits, Kitty, Evan and Rogue where about to regroup when they saw it slam into the ground before them, a sentinel. They turned around and saw others landing. Kitty fazed through the ground to the underground part of the institute holding Rogue and Evan. But unfortunately, Isabel, Tyler, Ana, Berserker, Sunspot and the others stood helpless looking at the metal monoliths.
"This is it?" Lance asked. "Yea, this is the place Selene told us about," Answered Julio, the two earth quaking mutants stared at the base and Pixie stepped forwards. "Come on then! Shit we don't have all day!" Neona snapped.
Pyro watched Apocalypse 'kill' Magneto again. He was laughing hysterically until the base began to rumble. "We're not on a blooming fault line, so that means," He was cut off as the wall fell down. "Hey Avalanche, how are ya?" John said nervously. "Fine, thanks for keeping the base warm for us, but you can leave now," Lance said. "But this is my home!" Pyro protested. "He can stay, his aura is a darkish gray, but he's nice at heart," Pixie said smiling slightly. "Yea! Ya here that? Old John is a good guy!" Pyro said. "DJ, kill him," Lance said. "WAIT!" Pyro said putting his hands up. "Guys, stop teasing yo," Toad said hopping forward. "JOHN! What the hell is going on out there?" Everyone heard a voice shout. The Brotherhood snarled to each other and looked in its direction. "Pietro," Lance said angrily.
"Fred, Toad. Lance. D.J." Pietro started and gulped. "Hey Pietro. How ya doing old buddy?" Lance said in mock enthusiasm. "Now guys, listen, I can explain," He said. He was lying in bed right then, his hip was still out of action. "Well let's here it old friend," Lance said smirking evilly. Pietro, immobile and defenseless looked on his old team with fear. "Well, he's my dad," Pietro started. "We knew that," Fred said. "What do you want me to do? Attack my father?" Pietro snapped. "He does have a point yo," Toad said. "Shut it Toad," Lance snarled. "Leave him alone Lance," DJ said hobbling in. "I mean it," He added. "Yea Lance, the guy's not going anywhere," Tabitha added. "Fine," Alvers growled. "But I'll be keeping my eyes on you speedy," He said dangerously. "Welcome to the New Brotherhood Base," Lance said smirking, looking over the massive Acolyte base. 'Until Omega Red and Sabertooth get back here ya stupid bloke,' Pyro thought.
Adam shivered as he felt something cold on his back. He did it again as it was put back on and it felt wet. He opened his eyes to see two people, one sitting and one standing next to him. His vision was hazed for a moment and he stood up. "Are you alright?" Jubilee asked. "You've been out for hours," She added. Adam noted that his burn didn't hurt as much. "We cooled it down for you, the least we could do since you helped Maddy," Jubilee added. Adam gave the pair a death glare. "I did no such thing," He snapped and stood up, now able to fit his leather armor back on. "And I don't want, or need your pity," He added angrily.
He looked out the window and saw it was starting to snow lightly. 'Just great,' He thought. He pushed the door open and saw everyone starting to gather in one place. "Where are you going?" He asked one man who looked about 40. "There feeding us," He responded. "Really," Adam said. He turned back to the barrack. "Get out here, there feeding us," He snarled loudly.
After the slop they where fed Jubilee and Madelyn went back to the barrack while Adam practiced. "What are you doing?" A child asked. "Training," Adam replied not even looking at him, continuing what he is doing. "Why?" The child asked. "To stay strong," Adam replied throwing a few other punches. "Are you a soldier?" The kid asked. "No," Adam replied. "A fighter?" He asked. "Yes," Adam replied. "Really?" The kid added. "YES!" Adam snarled. The kid smiled. "Your one of the first people who can fight here!" The 6 year old said. Adam stopped and looked confused. "What do you mean?" Adam asked.
Adam stormed into the bunker and looked at Jubilee and Madelyn. "No one here can fight!" He shouted angrily. "Well duh, not everyone becomes a paramilitary member or a soldier for a cause who's a mutant, most people just want to live out there lives," Madelyn said. "Real shame," Jubilee said with a bit of sarcasm. "I was hoping to use a few of them to get out of this piss hole!" Adam snarled. "There's no getting out," Madelyn said depressed. "Probably for the best too," She added. Adam looked at the two. "A day and your already broken," He said with disgust. "Well what do you expect us to do? We have no powers, the guards outgun and outnumber us, and barely anyone here has any real training," Madelyn said. "Yea!" Jubilee added.
"You're both a waste of my time, get out," He ordered. "No!" Jubilee replied. "I SAID GET OUT!" He roared. Madelyn got up and took Jubilee's hand. "Come on Jubilee," She said sadly. Adam stood alone in the bunker and moment and sat down. "I'll get out of here," He said to himself looking almost insane. "I swear I will, Apocalypse, Rictor, and these worthless humans, they'll all pay for what they did to me," He said gripping his fist. "I swear if it's the last thing I do," He added.
He stared into space for some time after that. He saw the snow starting to pile up. He went and opened the door and looked around for the people. He saw Jean and Jubilee outside huddled with a group of others. 'Why haven't they gone to another bunker?' He thought curiously. He stepped out and walked over.
"Why are you here?" He asked. "The other bunkers are run by people now, not Tom, and they didn't want anyone else in them," Jubilee said looking ready to cry and shivering. He glanced over at the others and then back to Madelyn and Jubilee and growled. "Get inside," He snapped pointing at the Barrack. The other 9 looked at him and smiled slightly. They where all men and Adam had an idea why they where trying to be nice to Madelyn and Jubilee. "Can we come to sir?" One asked. "Freeze," Adam said emotionlessly and walked away. The 9 looked shocked and dismayed over his comment.
"Thank you," Jubilee and Madelyn both said. "Shut up," Adam hissed. "You're lucky I was in a good mood," He added coldly. "Why are you being such an asshole?" Madelyn asked. "Why? I'M STUCK IN A FUCKING CONCENTRATION CAMP AND WAS BRANDED!" Adam shouted. "So was I!" She screamed back. Adam's eye twitched angrily. "Do you want to leave outside again?" He snapped. "No," She said quietly. "Then shut the fuck up!" He shouted. "I'm going to find a way out of here," He said angrily. "Adam, it's a lost cause we can't get out," Jubilee said. "We'll see," Adam said.
The next day,
Adam watched as a new aircraft arrived. "More people," He said crossing his arms. About an hour later and Adam grinned at who it was. ~Well Madelyn, some of your friends, and I think one of your enemies have decided to join us it would seem~ Adam told telepathically.
Madelyn looked shocked after hearing that and rushed outside, and cursed the human guards for not giving anyone winter clothing. She then saw an amazing site.
The Juggernaut hit the cold ground hard with a new burn on his back. He barely got to his feet and stared over at the figure watching him with a smirk. "Well, well, the Juggernaut," Adam said. "Selene gave us a rather nice profile on the unstoppable Juggernaut, looks like the government found something to put you down," He said. Behind the Juggernaut Tyler hit the ground, followed soon by Berserker, Sunspot, Isabel, Jamie, and Ana where next. Adam couldn't help but feel overjoyed, finally some people who could at least fight. "Welcome to the Alaskan get away for mutants, I hope you enjoy your stay," Adam said and gave a mocking bow. The mutants all glared at him. "Jean?" Everyone aside from Cain gasped as Madelyn came into view. "Come on," Madelyn said gesturing her hand towards the bunk. "We have a lot to talk about," She added.
"So, you mean you need us to break out?" Ray said crossing his arms. "Yes," Adam said. "No one here even has powers!" Roberto said. "That's not entirely true," Madelyn said looking away for a moment. Adam knew that Selene had taught her a few tricks. "What can you do?" He asked. "I can shoot a few energy bolts, and I can make a few people sleep," She said. "Good enough," Adam said. He turned to the others. "If you want to get out, you're going to have to work with me," He said. "And, first, we're going to have to find the controls for these god damn collars, as soon as there off, we win," Adam explained. "So, let's get to planning," Ana said.
"The most deadly of us in our current states, based on what I know, is me, Adam, Ana, and Cain," Madelyn explained. "As soon as our collars are off, everyone here will be able to fight, over a hundred mutants," Madelyn added. "It could take hours to weeks to plan, but we are going to get out," She added, finally some hope in her voice. Adam grinned. 'That's more like it,' He thought. "This is more like it," He said. Not one of the X-men trusted him at all, and naturally each one had good reason not to. Adam mentally grinned. He then looked dead serious at the X-men, after the battle he could even use them for the means of revenge on Apocalypse, and then he could turn on them later. 'It's always great to be smarter then almost everyone around you,' He thought evilly. ~Now Adam, that's not very nice to use your allies like that~ Madelyn told him. He glared at her. ~You should be lucky your not one of them, keep with me and you might get somewhere~ He told her narrowing his eyes. He then sat back on his bed as the others got settled in. 'God damn that woman,' He thought putting up his mental shields. 'More trouble then she's worth,' He added. 'Yes. definitely too much trouble. She doesn't know anything; I don't need her. right?' He then snapped out of it. 'Damn bitch,' He thought again angrily, that cycle seemed to repeat itself for the remainder of the day and then night.
The Juggernaut remained silent through the rest of the talking, but it was still obvious they would be there for at least a good month.
Meanwhile, in Britain,
"I wonder how the others are doing," Xavier said. "I'm sure they are fine professor," Jean assured him. "Yes, I suppose your right. for now all that matters is David," He said. He wheeled up to the house with the others around him. Hank knocked on the door and Mrs. Haller opened it. "Charles," She said almost angrily. Charles and her stared at one another a moment, it was a cold silence. "Gabrielle," Charles said. There was another cold silence. "May we come in?" Xavier asked. Mrs. Haller didn't give as much as a cold look before gesturing the mutants to enter.
Lucas walked looked at Xavier enter the home with his 'lackeys'. "This will be more interesting then I thought it would be. father," He said narrowing his eyes.
Xavier and his wife bickered as the other X-men watched. "If you had told me about him this could have been avoided!" Xavier shouted. "Do you actually believe that Charles? Do you actually believe you would have time for us?" She screamed back. "I can see why they divorced," Michael said. "Quiet, this is between them," Storm said hushing him. "That's fucking retarded," Michael muttered. "Language!" Storm hissed. 'Damn scary weather bitch,' Michael thought. "And I am not a bitch," Storm snarled. 'Wow, what is she psychic?' He thought. "And no, I'm not psychic either, you and the others are just incredibly predictable," Ororo said. "I resent that," Michael said. "As you should," She said.
Logan walked outside and heard something in the bushes. He was weary due to it being nightfall. "Hey, I could use some backup out here," Logan said. The figure grinned seeing who it was. 'My contacts where right, he is here,' The shaded person thought. 'Come Logan, come to your death' He added.
Beast came out next to Logan with Kurt. "Are you sure you heard something Herr Logan?" Kurt asked. "Yea," Logan said. He then sniffed the air, someone was definitely hiding nearby. He walked over to the bush and let his claws out, he then recognized the smell. "ACOLYTE!" He shouted turning to Beast and Kurt, the bush tore apart as Omega Red's coils flew out and wrapped around Logan and lifted him into the air. "Weapon X," He said smiling insanely. "It is good to see you again," He added. "Because this will be the last time I, or anyone else greets you ever again," Logan was then whipped through the side of Mrs. Haller's mansion. She screamed as she saw the bleeding and barely moving Logan.
"My word!" Charles said in shock. Omega Red stepped through the hole in the wall. "Omega Red!" He shouted. Arkady turned to Xavier and his ex-wife, but quickly turned back to Logan. "After all this time I finally have you," He said grinning.
A boy with dark black hair and streak white bangs jumped in front of Logan. "Not yet," Jacen said and his dark blue eyes then started to glow. "Fool, you cannot stop me," Arkady snapped. His tendril shot out and Jacen moved faster then Omega Red could follow, right by his tendril and gave him a swift upper cut into a wall. "That takes care of that," Jacen said cockily. Omega Red got up and a tendril got around Jacen's ankle. "Shit," Jacen said. Omega Red used all his strength and thrashed his tendril into a wall, Jacen with insane speeds like the end of a whip cracked into the wall and fell to the ground and twitched twice.
Omega Red grinned at his hand work and was about to move on when two blue muscular arms put him into a full nelson. "That's quite enough friend," Hank said. Omega Red's coils went behind him, wrapped around Hank's mid section and squeezed as they drained the energy from his body. Omega Red felt revitalized as Hank hit the ground. Logan got back to his feet now and was ready for action.
Omega Red was thrown into a wall by Jean using her TK and snarled with anger as she pinned him there. "Stop interfering!" He shouted. Xavier was shocked that Omega Red had gone to such lengths to attack Logan now that Magneto was out of the way. Omega Red once more relied on his coils as they slithered out and one speared Jean in the leg. She fell down in pain and he fell off the wall. Mrs. Haller now was scared to death as she saw the 7 ft Russian Super Soldier attack again. this time destroying a 300o dollar vase in the process. 'He'll cost me a fortune,' She thought. ~Don't worry I'll pay for the damages. and have Logan pay me back for leading this ignorant monster here~ Xavier assured her.
Omega Red was kicked in the back of the head by an invisible force (Michael) and stumbled forwards to be stabbed in the stomach by Wolverine, the blades did not even scratch his skin. Omega Red then punched Logan with a massive right and his super human strength made Wolverine flying through the fireplace and out the other side. "My fireplace! It was custom designed, it'll cost me." She was cut off. "I will pay for it don't worry," Xavier said. ~Everyone, take the fight outside before you cost me a small fortune!~ Xavier scolded mentally.
Storm took the command and her eyes glowed, she blasted Omega Red with 400 mph winds and sent him through the hole in the fireplace where he broke through a tree outside.
Omega Red saw this battle was not turning in his favor but his hatred for Logan fueled him to get up. "I will not be defeated! I am a living weapon! I will have my vengeance!" He shouted. Logan got up now. "Sure bub, I've heard that line before," Logan snapped. The X-men had now gathered in behind Logan. Omega Red sweated looking at them and snarled. Jean was about to go on the offensive again when a telekinetic bolt blasted her back and she landed unconscious beside Xavier who looked shocked and confused.
Jacen turned and looked around. "He's got a friend!" Jacen shouted. Wolverine snarled and glanced around and sniffed the air. "He's right! Mutant 3 o'clock!" Wolverine shouted. Lucas came into view. "Hello, I hope you've enjoyed you stay in England, and I hope you loved it so much that you already picked out your grave sights," He said floating there. Omega Red narrowed his eyes on him but then back on the X-men. "We are partners for now stranger," He yelled towards Lucas. "Agreed Russian, this of course, may be the start of a beautiful friendship," Legion shouted back. 'I hope not,' Omega Red thought.
Kurt Bamfed behind Omega Red with sword in hand and slashed down his back, it made a scraping noise and a few sparks came out, but there was not even a scratch. Omega Red roared and spun around and caught Kurt in the side of the ribs with a strong kick sending him flying. He was then blasted in the back by a volley of energy beams from Specter.
Legion saw his chance and blasted Michael with TK but was blasted by a lightning bolt from storm for his trouble. He hit the ground hard and jumped to his feet and morphed into Ian. "IAN!?" Mrs. Haller said in shock. "Do you know that boy?" Xavier asked. "Yes, David found him a few years ago," She said. Xavier now grew suspicious.
Ian formed a massive fireball and shot Storm with it sending her flying. Beast had regained his strength from Omega Red's attack and jumped out. He saw a boy and raised an eyebrow. "Since when was the enemy a 9 year old kid?" He asked himself. During his time of thought Ian formed back into Lucas. "Hello chap," He said and mentally attacked Hank knocking him out.
Logan ran down to where he swore Omega Red had been blasted by Michael. "Weapon X!" He heard from the side and was tackled to the ground. Omega Red's red pupils shined with raged as he pinned him to the ground with his coils and grabbed his neck. "After I finish with you, I will be able to hunt down that disgusting fool Sabertooth, and then I will find Maverick, then Silverfox, and finally Wrath and I will be done with you all!" Omega Red shouted. "Why where you working with Sabertooth before then?" Logan demanded. Omega Red chuckled. "Because it made it much easier to eliminate you, the strongest member of Weapon X, while Sabertooth would die shortly after we together eliminated you," Omega Red explained. "Magneto is now gone, and so is that plan, but so are you, goodbye Logan," Arkady said with a malice grin.
Before he could strike the final blow Jacen came in with a diving jump kick that sending Omega Red flying, but since his coils had Logan pinned, Logan went with him. The pain both smashed into a tree and hit the ground. "Oops, sorry about that," Jacen said sheepishly. Logan untangled himself before Omega Red recovered and moved back. "This is crazy," Logan said as Omega Red got up. Michael flew from above. "Run! It's time to make some crater fun!" Specter shouted. Logan and Lynch immediately knew what he meant. They took off and Arkady was about to make chase when a massive barrage of explosives energy blasts leveled the area.
"Who the hell is that guy?" Jacen asked. "Kid, all I know is his codename, I don't even know who he is at all, but he seems to hate me as much, if not more, then another guy I know," Wolverine said. "I'm not a popular guy apparently, and most of the time I don't even know why," He added.
Omega Red lay in a 10 meter wide and 3 meter deep crater. "I hate Wolverine," He said getting up shakily. He started to make his way after Logan, possessed by his rage.
Legion blasted Storm away once more and stood there for a moment before screaming. "NO!" He finally shouted and morphed into David. "Where. where am I?" David said in shock. Xavier, Gabrielle, and the others who where still conscious looked at him hard, and Xavier gasped in shock once his ex- wife spoke, "David?"

Cutting Chapter 22 off there, it will continue from that point from the next chapter, lots of interesting stuff I hope. Omega Red will be continuing his hunt for Logan as well...
