A Dark Future Chapter 23- Salvation
Omega Red came back to the mansion to see Lucas change into David and looked confused for a moment. "Wolverine," He said in a low deadly tone. Logan turned to see Omega Red's coils wrap around him and lift him into the air and began to squeeze. "Does nothing kill this guy?!" Specter shouted. Omega Red chuckled as Jacen and Michael moved in.
Xavier quickly looked over to see Omega Red on the attack, but turned his attention back to David. "David, what's happening?" Mrs. Haller asked in shock. David looked at his hands. "Who are you people?" He said turning his attention to the others. "I'm Charles Xavier," Xavier said wheeling forward and extending his hand. "Father," David said in a not so friendly manner, but took Xavier's hand. He stepped back and groaned as he morphed back into Lucas. "Hello daddy," Lucas said evilly. Lucas couldn't maintain control and transformed back into David. "David, come here quickly," Xavier said putting his hands out.
He attempted to seal Ian and Lucas away, but unfortunately was tricked into sealing Ian and David away.
David hit the ground and Xavier and his ex-wife looked shocked as Lucas stood up. "Thank you dear old dad," Legion said with a grin. "Where is David?" Xavier demanded. "You sealed him away, along with that brat Ian, just as I planned for you to do," Legion said laughing. He floated off the ground and was about to leave when the flying unconscious form of Wolverine hit him over. Everyone turned there attention to Omega Red.
"Where the fuck did this guy come from?" Jacen asked before being kicked away. "Moscow," Arkady said mockingly. He then sent his tendril out and wrapped out Michael lifting him into the air and draining the energy out of him.
"Watch where ya throw them ya bloody poof!" Lucas said pushing the unconscious Wolverine off him. Beast was back up now and so was Storm. Michael hit the ground unconscious. Omega Red grinned until he suddenly found himself 200 feet in the air.
Kurt appeared on the ground holding his side where he had been kicked before. "Ve don't have long!" Kurt said. Lucas blasted Kurt away and grinned. "I like this Red's style! He can be very entertaining, don't you think so dad?" Lucas said evilly. Omega Red hit the ground and sat up a moment later looking annoyed.
"Charles, this does not look good," Storm said as Omega Red stood up, his coils whipped around randomly. Jacen rushed forward and kicked Arkady in the face, but was slashed in the ribs by a cracking coil, it snapped like a whip as it hit.
"Fools, you will not stop me," Omega Red declared. A shield chopper was seen in the sky. "Shield, such a worthless organization," Omega Red declared and turned back to the X-men. Logan was back up and snarling. Lucas floating behind Omega Red and shrugged, "I think I'll be watching for a while, if that's ok with you Mr. Russian killing machine," Lucas said.
"I want you to all know you are weak, and I am strong," Arkady said stepping forward. He then shot his tendrils out but they never made contact, a solid atamantium shield flew in with deadly accuracy, and hit Omega Red in the bridge of the noise. Arkady went flying back as his tendrils sucked back into hit body. He landed 5 feet back on his shoulders first. He lay there a moment holding his face snarling. He got up and saw a figure standing on top of Mrs. Haller's mansion that caught the shield. Logan looked up and his jaw dropped with awe. "Cap!" He said in shock. Captain America landed in front of the X-men with a dead serious look on his face.
Omega Red looked overjoyed for some reason. "You," Arkady finally said. "I finally get to meet you, the American Super Soldier," Arkady said with an evil grin. "Logan?" Captain America asked. "Y-yea?" Logan said still in shock. "How are you still alive?" He asked calmly. "Explain later," Logan said. Captain America still looked at Omega Red with a serious face during this time. "Who is this guy? I get pulled out of my nap and needled, and sent to fight some 'mad man' as a man tells me with an eye-patch," Rogers said. "I wish I could tell ya cap, I really do, but I don't even know him," Logan said.
"I am the pride of the United Soviet Socialist Republic!" Omega Red shouted, even making Lucas cringe. "I was created as the ultimate weapon, the super soldier of Russia, better then you! I was designed to be stronger, and more deadly," Omega Red added. "I am better then your weak super soldier and the worthless Nazi one! Captain America and the Red Skull! HAH! I was created superior to whatever you could dream in power!" Arkady shouted. 'A Soviet me huh? We'll see how good he does against the original,' Captain America thought.
"Cap, be careful, seriously!" Logan said but it was too late and the patriot was on the offence. Captain America landed a hand blow from his shield onto Omega Red's chest. The Russian went back and landed hard on his back, but he rolled back and fired his coils out and wrapped around Captain America and lifted him into the air. "This is for the great mother Russia," Omega Red said about to tear Rogers apart until Wolverine tackled him to the ground.
Lucas blasted Wolverine and Roger's away with TK and Jacen jump kicked him from the side. Legion snarled and knocked him out telepathically. He then lifted Omega Red Telekinetically. "Time to go friend," He declared to his new found ally, the then flew into the sky and the duo disappeared.
Xavier looked up almost in tears as his ex-wife cried behind him. The shock he felt was overwhelming.
"They cured you," Logan said laughing. Rogers just smiled. "Now tell me how you're still around?" Rogers asked. "I'm a mutant, a group that has powers, mine is healing, so, I live long," Logan explained. "I'm going to get some answers on that THING," Rogers said getting up. He turned to the X-men. "I still have much to learn, but I'll come back into contact with you when I find out what happened," Captain America explained, all but Xavier where listening.
"What happened?" Wanda asked sitting at the black bird. "Don't ask," Logan said sitting down and groaned in pain. "To put it lightly, we didn't think we'd need you, we did," Jacen said groaning as well.
On the way back to the mansion, Xavier was dire in his mood and everyone noticed it.
5 hours later
Alaska.
Adam brooded in a corner for some time as he saw the others talking, most of them found Madelyn's story hard to believe, but after what everyone had seen, they agreed with it.
"We need to get to the collar control room in the main structure connected to the wall," Adam said bluntly. "We have someone check it out tonight who's not to big, so they can't be spotted easily," Adam explained. "Ana can do it, she's a 'ninja'," Tyler said mockingly. "Shut up; is it true you can do it?" Madelyn said. Ana nodded in response. "Then go out there and do it," Cain growled.
Ana looked over the building, sneaking out of the guards on the walls view. She saw two entrances that people could fit thought, mainly air ducts for larger sizes.
She hurried back and looked at the others. "I can get 2 others inside," She said. "Good," Ray said. "I'll go," He added. "Me too," Sam said. "Then it's settled, when can you get them inside?" Madelyn asked. "Tonight if you want," Ana said, "Then everyone get ready, go and do what you want, 'for we may not live to see tomorrow,'" Adam said frowning and walked out into the cold, leaving the shelter of the old barrack.
Jubilee looked at her old friends. "What happened Jubes?" Ray asked. "I. I got in trouble for being a mutant, they caught me sneaking around where I wasn't supposed to be, and a mob came after me. a woman found me and saved me, and then I met Adam and the others," She explained. "I have to work for her if she wants. or she could do things to me," She said looking scared. Ray and the other new recruits didn't understand, and based on Jubilee's expression, didn't want to. "What about Adam?" Roberto asked. "He's great," She said. Everyone looked shocked. "He acts like he doesn't care, but he does, and just between us, I think he likes Madelyn," She said winking at them. "Why would you say that?" Isabel asked. "He treated her burn, didn't let some asshole take her away, and is protective of her, and he does help me out, I think he's my friend," She said. "Wow, never branded that psychopath as the caring type," Jamie said. "He trys to show he doesn't, but he even took care of Void. before. before he died," She barely got out. "Adam's just had it hard. We all knew each other's stories. his sounds like it's out of a Greek tragedy," She explained.
"What happened?" Ray inquired. "His father beat him since he was a toddler, his mother abandoned him when he was three, left and had another family, and even named there son Adam, that boy was Void," She said. "Adam had no friends most of the time, and no one ever really got along with him," She added. "Adam killed his dad when his powers emerged, and he was forced into Bayville high for other reasons, they never discovered he killed his father," She explained. "After that, he ran into his mom, then he was killed by Jean, who he didn't want to fight because he had a crush on her, that's what Selene said, he said it was because he forgot, but I think he was bullshitting," Jubilee to a big breath, "Then he was brought back by Selene, accidentally enhanced and picked to lead the Void Stalkers," Jubilee finished. Every one of the New Recruits and even the Juggernaut stared dumb founded. "And I thought I had it bad," The Juggernaut said looking sick. "Has anyone seen Madelyn?" Jubilee then asked. "Who told you all that stuff? Adam doesn't seem like the talkative type," Roberto said. "Selene did," Jubilee said. "She made sure everyone knew the other's past to exploit it if need be," Jubilation explained. "Selene?" Ray asked. "LONG story," Jubilee said.
Adam sat alone looking at the people going about there business. "Pathetic really," He said to himself. "That's not very nice to say," Madelyn said from behind. Adam snarled and turned to her. "Don't follow me around, if you have nothing better to do, bug the Juggernaut, he can kill you too if that's what you want," Adam hissed. "I'm just trying to be nice," She said. "I DON'T CARE!" Adam shouted. "I don't WANT friends, I don't NEED them!" Adam shouted. "Emotional bonds are weak! All they do is cause pain," He added quietly. "That's not true, my par. Jean's parents are still together and very happy," She said. "Some people have friends for there whole lives, how are those weaknesses?" She asked. "Leave me alone clone," Adam said cruelly.
Madelyn stepped back at his comment and trembled with rage and sorrow at the reminder of what she was. "LISTEN HERE!" She screamed. "I've been through a lot too! I'm a shadow! I don't have anything! And neither do you! So you can stop being an asshole and actually talk to me!" She snapped. Adam glared at her a moment. "Then talk," He said darkly and narrowed his eyes with suspicion. "In other words, what do you want?" He snapped. "What do you mean?" She asked. "EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE, wants something, this is all part of a little game of yours right, to find something out about me to use against me later? Or to pretend to be a friend of mine and then stab me in the back and get something in return later," Adam asked. "Are you that out of the social loop to think that?" She asked. "I examine behavior I've seen," He said. "Yea, well when you where with the Brotherhood was it like that?" She asked. Adam remained silent a moment. "No," He finally replied. He looked away and sat down again on the cold ground. "So, what's so important that you wanna talk about?" He asked. She sad a few feet away from him, "Well, for starters, why you keep being such a jerk," She said.
Adam laughed slightly. "Me? Being a jerk? NEVER!" He said mockingly. "I know all about your dad, your mom and how you grew up Adam, but most people push themselves beyond that," She said. "I'm not most people," Adam said. "I'm just tying to get to know you Adam, is that so bad?" Madelyn asked. "No, not really, I'm just no accustomed to. nothing, never mind," Adam said. "Go on, please," She said. "I'm not accustomed to people approaching me," He lied. "That's not true I saw it all the time at the school," She said. He glared at her. "FINE, I'm not accustomed to someone I actually have an interest in approaching me, satisfied?" He snapped. She was slightly taken back but then connected the dots rather easily based on Jean's memories. "Well, it makes sense," She said. "Yes, and look what it got me, a body bag," He snarled. "I'm not Jean," Madelyn said. "No, you're just a copy of her," Adam hissed. "Not entirely," She said frowning. "I'm different up here," She said pointing at her head. "Increased aggression. a forced point of view," She started. "Ok, I get the point," Adam said rolling his eyes. "It'll be an hour before we start, wanna talk more?" She asked. Akimov looked at her and mentally smiled but physically frowned only to keep his cold exterior, "I don't see why not," He said.
An hour later,
Madelyn noted that Adam wasn't a 'terrible' human being, just someone who had been destroyed by circumstance. They had just talked about average things, but Adam didn't really answer much of any questions, he didn't seem to care much, but she also noted that he spent most of his life training his body and mind, not having much of a life. One thing she did pick up on however was, Adam did NOT like Apocalypse or Rictor.
Ana stood there with Ray and Sam. The night sky behind them seemed to shine with life. "Get out there, turn off the collars and destroy the control," Adam said. "We get it already, it's not THAT tough," Ray said.
The 3 went into the building that night, and did not come out.
Meanwhile, at Essex's base
"So this was your choice in a breeding partner," Sinister said. Amara felt hurt by those words, but also knew that Jason was not who he had appeared to be. She saw the sentinels from above as they flew away, but she knew the care was not for her, it was for what was inside her.
"You should feel honored my dear, it is not often that someone is privileged with having someone in there family related to my line," Nathan said. Amara just stared at him not saying a word. "Not very polite is she?" He asked Jason. "Well gee dad, she only burned a hole in my chest," Jason said smirking. "I see you have developed a similar taste in woman as me, unfortunate at best," Nathaniel said back. Amara just looked at the ground a moment. "What's wrong my dear?" Nathan asked. "I just wanna go to sleep," She mumbled. "And so you shall!" Essex said grinning. "Grey, take Ms. Aquilla to a room, not in the general living area," He added. "Course Dr. Essex," Scalphunter replied.
"How the hell did you end up with Jason?" He asked leading her to her room. "He wasn't like this before." She said about to trail off and Grey shook his head. "That's what happens when your dad's that manipulative, your lucky he's decided to keep you around, he probably finds you useful, if you weren't, he would have taken the fetus, artificially grown it, and killed you, so there's one thing to be happy about," Scalphunter said as Amara felt the blood drain out of her face. "I-I-I guess," She stuttered as Scalphunter left shutting the door. She went and sat down on the bed, the room was nice, not as nice as the mansion's but nice. Before she had been afraid to yell at Jason, and now she was too terrified, she really did want to give him a piece of her mind, if she couldn't use her powers, but now that seemed unlikely at best.
Jason sat back and put his arms behind his head and relaxed for a moment. He looked to his left to see a fist connect with his face and he fell off the chair and hit the ground. He got up growling to see Scott and hissed. "What was that for?!" He snapped. "That's for being a monstrous asshole," Scott snapped back. "Doing that to Amara. how could you?" Scott snarled. "Obviously you failed grade 8 science," Jason said smirking. Scott narrowed his eyes dangerously. "If it's any consolidation, I don't intend to hurt her, if I did, she would be dead and my offspring would already be in incubation, HAPPY?" He said. "No, I'm not, you're a disgusting person Jason," Scott said turning around and walking off. "Hey! I actually like her c'mon!" Jason shouted back but Scott didn't respond. "Oh well," Jason said sitting back again and decided to relax, his conscious only slightly bothering him, but thanks to years of living with his dad, that was all but a silent voice now.
The mansion-
The upper levels where scoured by military officers as the 3 mutants who remained hid underground, where not even those professionals above could find a way to, or even knew about.
The X-jet landed in the underground hanger and Kitty, Rogue and Evan rushed out to stop them from going above.
"Hey! We're back!" Jacen said casually jumping out and noted the scared looks on Evan, Rogue and Kitty's faces. "Professor!" He shouted.
Xavier listened to there story. "We. we cannot go to the upper levels," He said sighing. "Stay down here for now while I arrange another place for us to live," He said in a tired voice. "What about everyone who got captured!" Logan roared. "Find something to do about it please," Xavier said in a defeated voice as he rolled away, almost broken inside.
Wolverine quickly got on the phone. "Fury," He snarled. "What is it Logan? I'm a busy man," Fury replied. "Where are they?" Logan hissed. "I don't know what you're talking about," Nick lied, "Tell me, or you'll be having another rogue project on your hands," Logan snapped. "Alright. they where sent to one of the new mutant camps in Alaska, you'll find them at," Logan listened as Fury gave out the details.
"Tomorrow we leave for a camp in Alaska, there are 121 mutants being held there, our team members included," Logan said. "We'll leave in the X-jet at 2:00 PM, and Charles is getting us a new area, he says he knows somewhere in Scotland," Logan said. The X-men stood silent as they heard Logan speak.
Logan's cell rang and he picked it up. "Logan," Rogers said. "Cap? What did you find out?" Logan asked. "That guy, who's after you, and me, is also after a few old friends of yours, and he's almost impossible to kill, he's the Russian equivalent to the super soldier program, it was originally designed to kill me!" Steve said. "We'll see what we can do about him when the time comes Cap, I promise, but right now. I need some sleep," Logan said.
The next day, around 3:00 pm in New York
Alaska-
Adam and every other member of the camp where rounded up by about 30 guards and lead to an open space.
"These 3 where found in the building last night," An officer said. Adam knew exactly what was going to happen as Ray, Sam and Ana came into view and looked away. "This type of behavior is not to be tolerated," The officer added. He then stepped aside as the bound mutants looked in fear, all three where shot by 6 men, killing them.
There where gasps from the other X-men as they saw there friends body's being dragged away. They took the collars off and moved on. "This is the fate according to the government, of any mutant terrorist attack against America," The officer said. Just then the velocity blasted by overhead. "What's this?" The officer said in awe as the Velocity shot down 3 choppers.
"Everyone to guard positions!" The officer shouted. 20 guards stayed behind and had there barrels pointed at the collared mutants, children still crying from seeing the 3 shot.
Cannonball's eyes shot open as he saw no wound where the bullets had entered. He looked around and felt stronger then before. He turned to see the building where the collar control was.
Wolverine jumped out with the other X-men. "Wanda! We need a door!" Logan shouted. Wanda pointed her hands out, and a few moments later, the thick cement wall was blasted away. Jean floated in front and put up a telekinetic shield that blocked the incoming fire. Spyke jumped up behind her and unleashed a volley of spikes in return, but not aiming to hurt anyone. "Remember! Just suppressing fire!" Logan shouted. Michael unleashed a wave of energy blasts, but was less cautious as Spyke and did hit two people.
Kitty fazed through the walls until she reached the control center. "This is it?" She saw a guard draw his weapon and open fire, she phased through the 2 pistol rounds and ran up kneeing him in the stomach and then ran past him, she phased through the computer.
The lights on all the collars went dim and they automatically fell off. The guards who where guarding the prisoners looked in fear as Cain Marco stepped forward first cracking his knuckles. "Well, it seems the captors have a little bit of a problem?" The Juggernaut said. "Stop that mutant!" One shouted firing a grenade hitting Cain head on. He walked through the explosion. "Nothing stops the Juggernaut!" He shouted before charging forwards.
Tyler quickly followed, his skin easily deflected bullets. He came in with fury attacking the guards who had been responsible for branding him. He knocked one's head off and turned to see the other prisoners doing the same. He followed up with a back kick killing another.
Adam snarled and charged up. He then fired a massive wave of energy at the wall and blasted a huge hole in it. He turned to see the X-men and growled, they where in combat as well but he knew this was the best chance for escape. He knew The Juggernaut and Madelyn would most definitely not want to be here either.
"Cain!" Adam shouted. The Juggernaut turned to him while being shot by 20 of the soon to be doomed military personnel. "X-men! We have to pull out!" Adam shouted. "To where kid?" Cain said questionably. Adam pointed at a chopper outside where he had blasted. "You can walk or you can fly," Adam said grinning. He turned to Madelyn. "You coming?" He said as she blasted another group of men telekinetically. Madelyn turned to see the familiar faces of her team and felt guilt rise up, but quickly go down as she saw Jean.
Jean saw Madelyn and gasped. 'She's here?' She thought. "WAIT!" Jean cried. Madelyn turned to Adam. "Let's go, now!" She demanded. "Wait up!" Jubilee said following quickly.
Logan saw the 4 making a break for it. "Damn it! Don't let them get away!" Logan shouted. Tyler heard and took chase, even though tired. Sunspot was next.
Tyler tackled Adam to the ground from behind. Adam snarled and electrocuted him and kicked him off. Sunspot was about to detain him as well but not before being shot by Jubilee.
The 4 made it out to the chopper and Adam started it, thanking god for flight simulators. He saw the X-men making there way there. "Madelyn! Telekinesis!" He shouted. She put up a shield and the other Jean attacked it, she really wanted to know who this woman was. Jean broke through and Logan jumped up and sliced a piece of the chopper blade off. Adam growled.
The Juggernaut tore out the side and ran into the woods, but left Jubilee, Adam and Madelyn to look at the X-men as they surrounded them. "This is just fucking great," Adam said to himself sitting back as the X-men stood there.
"Nice to see you," Tyler said with a smile at Wanda, the best he could pull off at the moment. "I can't believe they shot them," Wanda said sadly. "I can," Tyler replied in a similar tone. Logan was not at all happy over the predicament, but then was shocked along with everyone else. "Hey guys, what's up?" Sam asked.
Of the 118 mutants that fled the camp, 42 escaped capture and got to the Yukon, 36 of which declared refugee status.
Meanwhile,
Storm and Beast looked at the professor. "Are you sure Charles?" Ororo asked. "Yes Storm, the rest of the world aside from some area's are having a better time with acceptance of mutants, this is the only way I can save them," Charles said sadly. "It's alright Charles, I can see this should help, but you should first inform the families," Beast said. "I intend to Hank, I intend to," Xavier said.
Unknown location in UK-
"How dare you take me away from my fight!" Omega Red snapped, he had finally come to. "Will ya shut up, the name's Lucas friend, and you caught my interest back there," Legion said. "I have no interest in you, you can do nothing for me," Arkady replied. "I think not friend, I can help ye fight all of those guys, and the others you talked about, you saw me out there," Legion said. "And what do you want in return?" Arkady said. "Nothing really much, just someone to hang around with, and also to help me get revenge on my father," Lucas said. "You make an interesting proposition 'Lucas'," Omega Red said. "But, the last time I made a deal like this it furthered me from my goals," Arkady said. "I'm not like that friend, as long as we both get what we want, I'm happy," Lucas said. Omega Red narrowed his eyes and extended his hand. "This should be most interesting," He said. Lucas took it and shook his hand. "I see you're a wise man in your choice of allies," Lucas declared. "Now c'mon! You won't fit in looking like that!" Lucas declared. "I don't like where this is going," Omega Red said.
Adam, Madelyn and Jubilee remained silent despite questions and stares from the X-men as they where put in the velocity and flown back to the mansion, where Xavier was trying to get things in order for there move. Jean stared at her clone the entire flight back, once back the real interrogation could begin.
En Sabah Nor floated above the final Pyramid, preparing to lock into place his vessel to open it. It locked in and the mighty structure transformed to its true state.
Apocalypse teleported to the sphinx and he went inside to try to realize his plans.

A Dark Future Chapter 23- Salvation
Omega Red came back to the mansion to see Lucas change into David and looked confused for a moment. "Wolverine," He said in a low deadly tone. Logan turned to see Omega Red's coils wrap around him and lift him into the air and began to squeeze. "Does nothing kill this guy?!" Specter shouted. Omega Red chuckled as Jacen and Michael moved in.
Xavier quickly looked over to see Omega Red on the attack, but turned his attention back to David. "David, what's happening?" Mrs. Haller asked in shock. David looked at his hands. "Who are you people?" He said turning his attention to the others. "I'm Charles Xavier," Xavier said wheeling forward and extending his hand. "Father," David said in a not so friendly manner, but took Xavier's hand. He stepped back and groaned as he morphed back into Lucas. "Hello daddy," Lucas said evilly. Lucas couldn't maintain control and transformed back into David. "David, come here quickly," Xavier said putting his hands out.
He attempted to seal Ian and Lucas away, but unfortunately was tricked into sealing Ian and David away.
David hit the ground and Xavier and his ex-wife looked shocked as Lucas stood up. "Thank you dear old dad," Legion said with a grin. "Where is David?" Xavier demanded. "You sealed him away, along with that brat Ian, just as I planned for you to do," Legion said laughing. He floated off the ground and was about to leave when the flying unconscious form of Wolverine hit him over. Everyone turned there attention to Omega Red.
"Where the fuck did this guy come from?" Jacen asked before being kicked away. "Moscow," Arkady said mockingly. He then sent his tendril out and wrapped out Michael lifting him into the air and draining the energy out of him.
"Watch where ya throw them ya bloody poof!" Lucas said pushing the unconscious Wolverine off him. Beast was back up now and so was Storm. Michael hit the ground unconscious. Omega Red grinned until he suddenly found himself 200 feet in the air.
Kurt appeared on the ground holding his side where he had been kicked before. "Ve don't have long!" Kurt said. Lucas blasted Kurt away and grinned. "I like this Red's style! He can be very entertaining, don't you think so dad?" Lucas said evilly. Omega Red hit the ground and sat up a moment later looking annoyed.
"Charles, this does not look good," Storm said as Omega Red stood up, his coils whipped around randomly. Jacen rushed forward and kicked Arkady in the face, but was slashed in the ribs by a cracking coil, it snapped like a whip as it hit.
"Fools, you will not stop me," Omega Red declared. A shield chopper was seen in the sky. "Shield, such a worthless organization," Omega Red declared and turned back to the X-men. Logan was back up and snarling. Lucas floating behind Omega Red and shrugged, "I think I'll be watching for a while, if that's ok with you Mr. Russian killing machine," Lucas said.
"I want you to all know you are weak, and I am strong," Arkady said stepping forward. He then shot his tendrils out but they never made contact, a solid atamantium shield flew in with deadly accuracy, and hit Omega Red in the bridge of the noise. Arkady went flying back as his tendrils sucked back into hit body. He landed 5 feet back on his shoulders first. He lay there a moment holding his face snarling. He got up and saw a figure standing on top of Mrs. Haller's mansion that caught the shield. Logan looked up and his jaw dropped with awe. "Cap!" He said in shock. Captain America landed in front of the X-men with a dead serious look on his face.
Omega Red looked overjoyed for some reason. "You," Arkady finally said. "I finally get to meet you, the American Super Soldier," Arkady said with an evil grin. "Logan?" Captain America asked. "Y-yea?" Logan said still in shock. "How are you still alive?" He asked calmly. "Explain later," Logan said. Captain America still looked at Omega Red with a serious face during this time. "Who is this guy? I get pulled out of my nap and needled, and sent to fight some 'mad man' as a man tells me with an eye-patch," Rogers said. "I wish I could tell ya cap, I really do, but I don't even know him," Logan said.
"I am the pride of the United Soviet Socialist Republic!" Omega Red shouted, even making Lucas cringe. "I was created as the ultimate weapon, the super soldier of Russia, better then you! I was designed to be stronger, and more deadly," Omega Red added. "I am better then your weak super soldier and the worthless Nazi one! Captain America and the Red Skull! HAH! I was created superior to whatever you could dream in power!" Arkady shouted. 'A Soviet me huh? We'll see how good he does against the original,' Captain America thought.
"Cap, be careful, seriously!" Logan said but it was too late and the patriot was on the offence. Captain America landed a hand blow from his shield onto Omega Red's chest. The Russian went back and landed hard on his back, but he rolled back and fired his coils out and wrapped around Captain America and lifted him into the air. "This is for the great mother Russia," Omega Red said about to tear Rogers apart until Wolverine tackled him to the ground.
Lucas blasted Wolverine and Roger's away with TK and Jacen jump kicked him from the side. Legion snarled and knocked him out telepathically. He then lifted Omega Red Telekinetically. "Time to go friend," He declared to his new found ally, the then flew into the sky and the duo disappeared.
Xavier looked up almost in tears as his ex-wife cried behind him. The shock he felt was overwhelming.
"They cured you," Logan said laughing. Rogers just smiled. "Now tell me how you're still around?" Rogers asked. "I'm a mutant, a group that has powers, mine is healing, so, I live long," Logan explained. "I'm going to get some answers on that THING," Rogers said getting up. He turned to the X-men. "I still have much to learn, but I'll come back into contact with you when I find out what happened," Captain America explained, all but Xavier where listening.
"What happened?" Wanda asked sitting at the black bird. "Don't ask," Logan said sitting down and groaned in pain. "To put it lightly, we didn't think we'd need you, we did," Jacen said groaning as well.
On the way back to the mansion, Xavier was dire in his mood and everyone noticed it.
5 hours later
Alaska.
Adam brooded in a corner for some time as he saw the others talking, most of them found Madelyn's story hard to believe, but after what everyone had seen, they agreed with it.
"We need to get to the collar control room in the main structure connected to the wall," Adam said bluntly. "We have someone check it out tonight who's not to big, so they can't be spotted easily," Adam explained. "Ana can do it, she's a 'ninja'," Tyler said mockingly. "Shut up; is it true you can do it?" Madelyn said. Ana nodded in response. "Then go out there and do it," Cain growled.
Ana looked over the building, sneaking out of the guards on the walls view. She saw two entrances that people could fit thought, mainly air ducts for larger sizes.
She hurried back and looked at the others. "I can get 2 others inside," She said. "Good," Ray said. "I'll go," He added. "Me too," Sam said. "Then it's settled, when can you get them inside?" Madelyn asked. "Tonight if you want," Ana said, "Then everyone get ready, go and do what you want, 'for we may not live to see tomorrow,'" Adam said frowning and walked out into the cold, leaving the shelter of the old barrack.
Jubilee looked at her old friends. "What happened Jubes?" Ray asked. "I. I got in trouble for being a mutant, they caught me sneaking around where I wasn't supposed to be, and a mob came after me. a woman found me and saved me, and then I met Adam and the others," She explained. "I have to work for her if she wants. or she could do things to me," She said looking scared. Ray and the other new recruits didn't understand, and based on Jubilee's expression, didn't want to. "What about Adam?" Roberto asked. "He's great," She said. Everyone looked shocked. "He acts like he doesn't care, but he does, and just between us, I think he likes Madelyn," She said winking at them. "Why would you say that?" Isabel asked. "He treated her burn, didn't let some asshole take her away, and is protective of her, and he does help me out, I think he's my friend," She said. "Wow, never branded that psychopath as the caring type," Jamie said. "He trys to show he doesn't, but he even took care of Void. before. before he died," She barely got out. "Adam's just had it hard. We all knew each other's stories. his sounds like it's out of a Greek tragedy," She explained.
"What happened?" Ray inquired. "His father beat him since he was a toddler, his mother abandoned him when he was three, left and had another family, and even named there son Adam, that boy was Void," She said. "Adam had no friends most of the time, and no one ever really got along with him," She added. "Adam killed his dad when his powers emerged, and he was forced into Bayville high for other reasons, they never discovered he killed his father," She explained. "After that, he ran into his mom, then he was killed by Jean, who he didn't want to fight because he had a crush on her, that's what Selene said, he said it was because he forgot, but I think he was bullshitting," Jubilee to a big breath, "Then he was brought back by Selene, accidentally enhanced and picked to lead the Void Stalkers," Jubilee finished. Every one of the New Recruits and even the Juggernaut stared dumb founded. "And I thought I had it bad," The Juggernaut said looking sick. "Has anyone seen Madelyn?" Jubilee then asked. "Who told you all that stuff? Adam doesn't seem like the talkative type," Roberto said. "Selene did," Jubilee said. "She made sure everyone knew the other's past to exploit it if need be," Jubilation explained. "Selene?" Ray asked. "LONG story," Jubilee said.
Adam sat alone looking at the people going about there business. "Pathetic really," He said to himself. "That's not very nice to say," Madelyn said from behind. Adam snarled and turned to her. "Don't follow me around, if you have nothing better to do, bug the Juggernaut, he can kill you too if that's what you want," Adam hissed. "I'm just trying to be nice," She said. "I DON'T CARE!" Adam shouted. "I don't WANT friends, I don't NEED them!" Adam shouted. "Emotional bonds are weak! All they do is cause pain," He added quietly. "That's not true, my par. Jean's parents are still together and very happy," She said. "Some people have friends for there whole lives, how are those weaknesses?" She asked. "Leave me alone clone," Adam said cruelly.
Madelyn stepped back at his comment and trembled with rage and sorrow at the reminder of what she was. "LISTEN HERE!" She screamed. "I've been through a lot too! I'm a shadow! I don't have anything! And neither do you! So you can stop being an asshole and actually talk to me!" She snapped. Adam glared at her a moment. "Then talk," He said darkly and narrowed his eyes with suspicion. "In other words, what do you want?" He snapped. "What do you mean?" She asked. "EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE, wants something, this is all part of a little game of yours right, to find something out about me to use against me later? Or to pretend to be a friend of mine and then stab me in the back and get something in return later," Adam asked. "Are you that out of the social loop to think that?" She asked. "I examine behavior I've seen," He said. "Yea, well when you where with the Brotherhood was it like that?" She asked. Adam remained silent a moment. "No," He finally replied. He looked away and sat down again on the cold ground. "So, what's so important that you wanna talk about?" He asked. She sad a few feet away from him, "Well, for starters, why you keep being such a jerk," She said.
Adam laughed slightly. "Me? Being a jerk? NEVER!" He said mockingly. "I know all about your dad, your mom and how you grew up Adam, but most people push themselves beyond that," She said. "I'm not most people," Adam said. "I'm just tying to get to know you Adam, is that so bad?" Madelyn asked. "No, not really, I'm just no accustomed to. nothing, never mind," Adam said. "Go on, please," She said. "I'm not accustomed to people approaching me," He lied. "That's not true I saw it all the time at the school," She said. He glared at her. "FINE, I'm not accustomed to someone I actually have an interest in approaching me, satisfied?" He snapped. She was slightly taken back but then connected the dots rather easily based on Jean's memories. "Well, it makes sense," She said. "Yes, and look what it got me, a body bag," He snarled. "I'm not Jean," Madelyn said. "No, you're just a copy of her," Adam hissed. "Not entirely," She said frowning. "I'm different up here," She said pointing at her head. "Increased aggression. a forced point of view," She started. "Ok, I get the point," Adam said rolling his eyes. "It'll be an hour before we start, wanna talk more?" She asked. Akimov looked at her and mentally smiled but physically frowned only to keep his cold exterior, "I don't see why not," He said.
An hour later,
Madelyn noted that Adam wasn't a 'terrible' human being, just someone who had been destroyed by circumstance. They had just talked about average things, but Adam didn't really answer much of any questions, he didn't seem to care much, but she also noted that he spent most of his life training his body and mind, not having much of a life. One thing she did pick up on however was, Adam did NOT like Apocalypse or Rictor.
Ana stood there with Ray and Sam. The night sky behind them seemed to shine with life. "Get out there, turn off the collars and destroy the control," Adam said. "We get it already, it's not THAT tough," Ray said.
The 3 went into the building that night, and did not come out.
Meanwhile, at Essex's base
"So this was your choice in a breeding partner," Sinister said. Amara felt hurt by those words, but also knew that Jason was not who he had appeared to be. She saw the sentinels from above as they flew away, but she knew the care was not for her, it was for what was inside her.
"You should feel honored my dear, it is not often that someone is privileged with having someone in there family related to my line," Nathan said. Amara just stared at him not saying a word. "Not very polite is she?" He asked Jason. "Well gee dad, she only burned a hole in my chest," Jason said smirking. "I see you have developed a similar taste in woman as me, unfortunate at best," Nathaniel said back. Amara just looked at the ground a moment. "What's wrong my dear?" Nathan asked. "I just wanna go to sleep," She mumbled. "And so you shall!" Essex said grinning. "Grey, take Ms. Aquilla to a room, not in the general living area," He added. "Course Dr. Essex," Scalphunter replied.
"How the hell did you end up with Jason?" He asked leading her to her room. "He wasn't like this before." She said about to trail off and Grey shook his head. "That's what happens when your dad's that manipulative, your lucky he's decided to keep you around, he probably finds you useful, if you weren't, he would have taken the fetus, artificially grown it, and killed you, so there's one thing to be happy about," Scalphunter said as Amara felt the blood drain out of her face. "I-I-I guess," She stuttered as Scalphunter left shutting the door. She went and sat down on the bed, the room was nice, not as nice as the mansion's but nice. Before she had been afraid to yell at Jason, and now she was too terrified, she really did want to give him a piece of her mind, if she couldn't use her powers, but now that seemed unlikely at best.
Jason sat back and put his arms behind his head and relaxed for a moment. He looked to his left to see a fist connect with his face and he fell off the chair and hit the ground. He got up growling to see Scott and hissed. "What was that for?!" He snapped. "That's for being a monstrous asshole," Scott snapped back. "Doing that to Amara. how could you?" Scott snarled. "Obviously you failed grade 8 science," Jason said smirking. Scott narrowed his eyes dangerously. "If it's any consolidation, I don't intend to hurt her, if I did, she would be dead and my offspring would already be in incubation, HAPPY?" He said. "No, I'm not, you're a disgusting person Jason," Scott said turning around and walking off. "Hey! I actually like her c'mon!" Jason shouted back but Scott didn't respond. "Oh well," Jason said sitting back again and decided to relax, his conscious only slightly bothering him, but thanks to years of living with his dad, that was all but a silent voice now.
The mansion-
The upper levels where scoured by military officers as the 3 mutants who remained hid underground, where not even those professionals above could find a way to, or even knew about.
The X-jet landed in the underground hanger and Kitty, Rogue and Evan rushed out to stop them from going above.
"Hey! We're back!" Jacen said casually jumping out and noted the scared looks on Evan, Rogue and Kitty's faces. "Professor!" He shouted.
Xavier listened to there story. "We. we cannot go to the upper levels," He said sighing. "Stay down here for now while I arrange another place for us to live," He said in a tired voice. "What about everyone who got captured!" Logan roared. "Find something to do about it please," Xavier said in a defeated voice as he rolled away, almost broken inside.
Wolverine quickly got on the phone. "Fury," He snarled. "What is it Logan? I'm a busy man," Fury replied. "Where are they?" Logan hissed. "I don't know what you're talking about," Nick lied, "Tell me, or you'll be having another rogue project on your hands," Logan snapped. "Alright. they where sent to one of the new mutant camps in Alaska, you'll find them at," Logan listened as Fury gave out the details.
"Tomorrow we leave for a camp in Alaska, there are 121 mutants being held there, our team members included," Logan said. "We'll leave in the X-jet at 2:00 PM, and Charles is getting us a new area, he says he knows somewhere in Scotland," Logan said. The X-men stood silent as they heard Logan speak.
Logan's cell rang and he picked it up. "Logan," Rogers said. "Cap? What did you find out?" Logan asked. "That guy, who's after you, and me, is also after a few old friends of yours, and he's almost impossible to kill, he's the Russian equivalent to the super soldier program, it was originally designed to kill me!" Steve said. "We'll see what we can do about him when the time comes Cap, I promise, but right now. I need some sleep," Logan said.
The next day, around 3:00 pm in New York
Alaska-
Adam and every other member of the camp where rounded up by about 30 guards and lead to an open space.
"These 3 where found in the building last night," An officer said. Adam knew exactly what was going to happen as Ray, Sam and Ana came into view and looked away. "This type of behavior is not to be tolerated," The officer added. He then stepped aside as the bound mutants looked in fear, all three where shot by 6 men, killing them.
There where gasps from the other X-men as they saw there friends body's being dragged away. They took the collars off and moved on. "This is the fate according to the government, of any mutant terrorist attack against America," The officer said. Just then the velocity blasted by overhead. "What's this?" The officer said in awe as the Velocity shot down 3 choppers.
"Everyone to guard positions!" The officer shouted. 20 guards stayed behind and had there barrels pointed at the collared mutants, children still crying from seeing the 3 shot.
Cannonball's eyes shot open as he saw no wound where the bullets had entered. He looked around and felt stronger then before. He turned to see the building where the collar control was.
Wolverine jumped out with the other X-men. "Wanda! We need a door!" Logan shouted. Wanda pointed her hands out, and a few moments later, the thick cement wall was blasted away. Jean floated in front and put up a telekinetic shield that blocked the incoming fire. Spyke jumped up behind her and unleashed a volley of spikes in return, but not aiming to hurt anyone. "Remember! Just suppressing fire!" Logan shouted. Michael unleashed a wave of energy blasts, but was less cautious as Spyke and did hit two people.
Kitty fazed through the walls until she reached the control center. "This is it?" She saw a guard draw his weapon and open fire, she phased through the 2 pistol rounds and ran up kneeing him in the stomach and then ran past him, she phased through the computer.
The lights on all the collars went dim and they automatically fell off. The guards who where guarding the prisoners looked in fear as Cain Marco stepped forward first cracking his knuckles. "Well, it seems the captors have a little bit of a problem?" The Juggernaut said. "Stop that mutant!" One shouted firing a grenade hitting Cain head on. He walked through the explosion. "Nothing stops the Juggernaut!" He shouted before charging forwards.
Tyler quickly followed, his skin easily deflected bullets. He came in with fury attacking the guards who had been responsible for branding him. He knocked one's head off and turned to see the other prisoners doing the same. He followed up with a back kick killing another.
Adam snarled and charged up. He then fired a massive wave of energy at the wall and blasted a huge hole in it. He turned to see the X-men and growled, they where in combat as well but he knew this was the best chance for escape. He knew The Juggernaut and Madelyn would most definitely not want to be here either.
"Cain!" Adam shouted. The Juggernaut turned to him while being shot by 20 of the soon to be doomed military personnel. "X-men! We have to pull out!" Adam shouted. "To where kid?" Cain said questionably. Adam pointed at a chopper outside where he had blasted. "You can walk or you can fly," Adam said grinning. He turned to Madelyn. "You coming?" He said as she blasted another group of men telekinetically. Madelyn turned to see the familiar faces of her team and felt guilt rise up, but quickly go down as she saw Jean.
Jean saw Madelyn and gasped. 'She's here?' She thought. "WAIT!" Jean cried. Madelyn turned to Adam. "Let's go, now!" She demanded. "Wait up!" Jubilee said following quickly.
Logan saw the 4 making a break for it. "Damn it! Don't let them get away!" Logan shouted. Tyler heard and took chase, even though tired. Sunspot was next.
Tyler tackled Adam to the ground from behind. Adam snarled and electrocuted him and kicked him off. Sunspot was about to detain him as well but not before being shot by Jubilee.
The 4 made it out to the chopper and Adam started it, thanking god for flight simulators. He saw the X-men making there way there. "Madelyn! Telekinesis!" He shouted. She put up a shield and the other Jean attacked it, she really wanted to know who this woman was. Jean broke through and Logan jumped up and sliced a piece of the chopper blade off. Adam growled.
The Juggernaut tore out the side and ran into the woods, but left Jubilee, Adam and Madelyn to look at the X-men as they surrounded them. "This is just fucking great," Adam said to himself sitting back as the X-men stood there.
"Nice to see you," Tyler said with a smile at Wanda, the best he could pull off at the moment. "I can't believe they shot them," Wanda said sadly. "I can," Tyler replied in a similar tone. Logan was not at all happy over the predicament, but then was shocked along with everyone else. "Hey guys, what's up?" Sam asked.
Of the 118 mutants that fled the camp, 42 escaped capture and got to the Yukon, 36 of which declared refugee status.
Meanwhile,
Storm and Beast looked at the professor. "Are you sure Charles?" Ororo asked. "Yes Storm, the rest of the world aside from some area's are having a better time with acceptance of mutants, this is the only way I can save them," Charles said sadly. "It's alright Charles, I can see this should help, but you should first inform the families," Beast said. "I intend to Hank, I intend to," Xavier said.
Unknown location in UK-
"How dare you take me away from my fight!" Omega Red snapped, he had finally come to. "Will ya shut up, the name's Lucas friend, and you caught my interest back there," Legion said. "I have no interest in you, you can do nothing for me," Arkady replied. "I think not friend, I can help ye fight all of those guys, and the others you talked about, you saw me out there," Legion said. "And what do you want in return?" Arkady said. "Nothing really much, just someone to hang around with, and also to help me get revenge on my father," Lucas said. "You make an interesting proposition 'Lucas'," Omega Red said. "But, the last time I made a deal like this it furthered me from my goals," Arkady said. "I'm not like that friend, as long as we both get what we want, I'm happy," Lucas said. Omega Red narrowed his eyes and extended his hand. "This should be most interesting," He said. Lucas took it and shook his hand. "I see you're a wise man in your choice of allies," Lucas declared. "Now c'mon! You won't fit in looking like that!" Lucas declared. "I don't like where this is going," Omega Red said.
Adam, Madelyn and Jubilee remained silent despite questions and stares from the X-men as they where put in the velocity and flown back to the mansion, where Xavier was trying to get things in order for there move. Jean stared at her clone the entire flight back, once back the real interrogation could begin.
En Sabah Nor floated above the final Pyramid, preparing to lock into place his vessel to open it. It locked in and the mighty structure transformed to its true state.
Apocalypse teleported to the sphinx and he went inside to try to realize his plans.
