From the sounds of it, you all wanna hear what happens next! Well then,
I'll be annoying and distract you from the story!
LALALALALALA tenka tana squashed banana OLD MACFARMER HAD A CAKE have you seen the muffin man THE MUFFIN MAN the muffin man HEY JUDE the long and winding road YOU HAVE A LOT TO LEARN MY YOUNG AVALANCHE we have a rogue
Woah, that really leaves you out of breath if you say it in one sentence! I just had to get that out of my system. Now that I have, I'll get on with the story.
By the way, the "Oh no you don't" in the last chapter was cheesy, but is there an episode of Xmen: Evo that hasn't got a cheeseball in it? E.g. "when you're with the Xmen, you're never alone", (not true! You see Rogue on her own loads) and "We'll get through this, because we are the Xmen." (er, yeah, we know, why else would it be called Xmen?)
Chapter 2: tenka tana squashed banana
Just kidding!
The REAL chapter 2:
**************************************************************************** **********************************************
"Hey, she's coming round!"
"About time!"
"Quiet, all of you! This is important!"
Rogue slowly opened her eyes. Everything was blurred; the voices seemed miles away. Then, her eyes focused. A face, stern and wrinkled, was looking right into her face. It was so close their noses were almost touching.
"AAARGH!" Rogue screamed. She tried to move away from the face, but she found that her hands and legs were tied together, so she ended up just banging her head hard against the wall. Laughter echoed around the huge, mucky room she was in. The face moved back and stood up straight, three other figures were stood next to it, all of them looking down on Rogue. They were all wearing black robes with hoods that covered their faces, apart from the one who was just looking in her own, who had their hood down. Rogue recognised the face. It was Magneto, smiling with a sly look in his eyes.
"Shut up! You three laughing at her will not do anyone any good!" the third voice she'd heard said sharply, silencing the laughter. The person who said this crouched down beside Rogue.
"Its alright, don't panic." It said to Rogue, in a very familiar voice.
"Momma?" Rogue squeaked.
"Yes, my child, it is I, Mystique*." She took off her hood, revealing her blue mischievous face. "These three - " she gestured to the people standing around them " - and I have welcomed you into our team. You should be glad to be here, you aren't safe with the Xmen anymore." Rogue burst into tears.
"Whah have you tahken me? Ah was happy with thah Xmen. Ah told you before, Ah don't wanna be in youhr team Momma!" she said between sobs.
"Spoilt brat," said a voice from under a hood. "She needs a good beatin'." It punched its fist into its other hand menacingly.
"Actually, Sabretooth, she is anything but spoilt." Mystique said to the figure, who removed his hood to reveal a grinning Sabretooth. All but one figure had removed their hood.
"Well, Magneto. What's happening now?" Sabretooth asked the grinning man beside him.
As Magneto launched into a speech to the other three mutants, Rogue took this as a chance to see where she was. She was in a dimly lit room, with bricks and rubble covering the place. There were large scorch marks covering the walls. The ceiling had holes in it where people had fallen through. She knew exactly where she was - the burnt gymnasium.
At the Institute
The Professor headed to his dormitory, feeling disappointed with himself. He had tried to contact Rogue with Cerebro for over two hours, and failed. Something was blocking Rogue from exposure, like it blocked Magneto. He reminisced about earlier this evening when he broke the new to everyone. . . ______________
"VHAT?! No vay!"
"Yes, Kurt I'm afraid so." The Professor replied.
"But - but - thees is all mein fault. If I had just gone with her, and the uzzers - she asked me to, but I said no, because I vanted to plan a joke on Scott. ("What?" said Scott) Oh, Rogue, I'm sorry." Kurt collapsed on the floor and started praying very fast in German, tears running down his face, and getting absorbed by his fur.
"Its not Kurt's fault, Professor, its mine!" Kitty cried, tears streaming down her face aswell. "I yelled at her yesterday because she nicked my hairbrush! It was only a hairbrush . . . now we might not see her again . . ." Kitty trailed off.
"Don't be stupid, Kitty, its my fault!" Jean said, "I was the one who asked her to come with us, if I'd just left her in her room listening to her new Evanescence album she'd be with us now . . ."
"No, its my fault!" Scott interrupted, "I should have come and supervised!"
"No, its my fault totally, me and Jean just left her on her own, in the dark, where anyone could have grabbed her . . . " Kitty burst out between sobs, unable to finish her sentence.
"I shouldn't have let her go out, I read her horoscope this morning and it was bad . . . I told her but she wouldn't believe me! It's all my fault . . . " Amara said, and she turned around and ran from the room, rubbing at her eyes to wipe away tears.
The Professor looked around the room. Jean had gone extremely pale, clutching the mobile still held in her hand so tightly that her fingers had gone white, and things were randomly floating round the room. Kitty was sat on the couch crying her eyes out, and Storm had an arm round her, though Storm herself was shaking badly. Kurt had teleported to on the ceiling, hanging upside-down by his tail from the chandelier, still praying in German, his fur dark blue from tears. Amara had run from the room, followed by Wolverine. Sounds of roaring and slashing of claws came from the room next door, the Professor knew why. Rogue was like the daughter he never had. Beast was quoting Shakespeare, and Scott was hitting his head with his hand.
"Now then, everybody, Rogue is still alive. We will find her tomorrow morning. Now I suggest that you all get some sleep, we have a big day of searching tomorrow. Jean, will you please share a room with Kitty tonight, you both should have company." The Professor said.
"But - I'm not sleeping in Rogue's bed - that's disrespectful! You don't even care that she's gone!" Jean yelled.
"I care as much as you do Jean." The professor answered solemnly, "Now, if you please, go to bed. I know its early, being only nine - fifteen, but I need to use Cerebro."
They all went off to bed, and the Professor went to Cerebro.
_____________
". . . and then Mystique will morph into Rogue, and steal all the money!" Magneto finished.
"What?" Rogue said.
"Didn't you hear our plan, Rogue?" Magneto asked.
"No, if Ah did whah would ah be askin'?" Rogue replied quickly, some of her fiery Southern temper rising.
"What the plan is, my dear," Magneto paused, then continued, "is that we will keep you here for as long as possible. You are blocked from Cerebro because of that helmet on your head."
'Helmet?' Rogue thought. She must have had a confused look on her face, because Magneto said "You are wearing my helmet. We put it on you while you were knocked out. Anyway, then we hold you as randsom. Xavier will give us money for you, and we hand you back. But it won't be you. It will be your dear mother, in disguise as you, who will then steal the rest of Xavier's money and bring it back here!"
The four of them laughed. Rogue was confused.
"But, whah do you want me? Ah'm no good to yah."
"Oh, but you are, Rogue. You are amongst the most powerful mutants. No one else at the Institute has as good a power as you, except Xavier, Wagner, Munroe and Grey. The psychics have the power to refuse, so they're going too."
"Goin' where?"
"To heaven, my child. You see, Charles and you Xmen are the only things getting in our way so we can't destroy humanity. So, if we destroy Charles and the Xmen humanity these days are over."
Rogue gasped. "Y'all can't do thaht!"
"Yes we can, and we are."
"But - what about Storm ahnd Nahgtcrawler?"
"They are powerful too - they will be joining our team aswell."
"When will we give them the note?" Mystique asked.
"Tonight." Magneto answered. "We can - "
"Excuse mah," Rogue interuppted, "But who attacked mah before?"
"The same person who had this idea, and will break in and give them the note tonight."
"But who's thaht?"
Magneto gestured towards the fourth figure. "Let her see your face, my dear."
The fourth and smallest figure stepped forward. It reached up and lowered its hood, slowly and carefully.
Rogue gasped, and burst into tears again.
"No!" she cried, "No! Not you!"
**************************************************************************** ****************************************
Bit of a cliffhanger there, isn't it? Oh well. If you want to know who the fourth figure is, review and I'll write the next chapter asap! Who do you all think it is now? Don't forget to review!
