AN: 'These mean character thoughts.'
***********************************
As the mysterious stranger in the dark cloak stood before the house of the Brotherhood of Mutants, he began to chant mysterious words and soon became engulfed in a dark purple haze. Then, the ground suddenly began to shake violently.
"Hey! Lance is that you?! Knock it off!" yelled Blob from the living room as he felt the shaking grow more intense.
"Man, I'm not doing this! I don't know where it's coming from!" replied Lance as he stumbled in to the room.
Soon the rest of the members came downstairs in wake of the commotion.
"What's going on here!?" yelled Mystique as she stormed downstairs.
"I don't know!" replied Lance. "I'm not doing it!"
"Uh, guys," said Toad who was staring out the window with a nervous look on his face. "I think you should see...AHHHH!"
Suddenly, the young mutant was grabbed by a black tentacle that had ripped through the walls and in to the room from the outside. Todd was immediately flung outside and slammed in to the ground, knocking him out cold. The rest of the brotherhood rushed to the window. They all saw something that looked like a man, but they couldn't get a good enough look. Then, they all went out the front door and confronted an unknown figure. They discovered the source of that black tentacle to be the hand of a mysterious cloaked man with an odd purple haze surrounding his body.
"Who are you?" demanded an enraged Mystique.
The man slowly looked up, revealing his old, sinister looking face. He shot them a deathly grin that made each one of the bewildered mutants' skin crawl.
"Call me...The Shadowmaster!" said the man. "It is a name you will come to revere...For I shall be your new lord and master!"
As the brotherhood regained some of their composure, they readied themselves for battle with the mysterious stranger.
"In a pigs eye!" said Pietro.
The grin from the Shadowmaster only grew wider.
"You wish to challenge me? Well...Be my guest..."
Wanda floated up while Pietro began to charge the man at extreme speeds. To their surprise, the Shadowmaster didn't move or seem too concerned by their actions. As Wanda was about to launch a hex bolt and Pietro was about to make contact...Poof. He vanished in to a cloud of smoke. Confused by this occurrence, the siblings were stopped cold in their tracks. The rest of the brotherhood stepped out in to the front yard in confusion, but this proved to be a mistake. Behind them, the smoke appeared behind them and the Shadowmaster had reformed.
"Stupid kids..." chuckled the dark wizard as he blasted the unsuspecting teens from behind with a mysterious blast of dark energy, sending them flying across the yard.
"Aw man, who is this guy?" said Blob rubbing his head.
"He's a dead man!" yelled Pietro as he got up and ran back towards him in a fit of rage.
"Other way around...Kid," said Shadowmaster with a grin.
From his staff a mysterious beam shot out of the skull head on the top. The beam was a mix of blue and purple colors and it blinded the rest of the brotherhood as they watched in horror as Pietro was engulfed by the blast.
"AHHHHHHHH!" yelled the speedster as he felt himself lifted off the ground.
"Your fast Quicksilver...But too slow to beat me!" The dark wizard then focused more energy in to the ray, but suddenly, his staff was yanked from his hand by a mysterious force. Pietro then fell to the ground and lost consciousness instantly. Shadowmaster looked to his side to see Pietro's enraged sister, Wanda.
"You think I need that staff to take you down? Think again!"
From his fingertips, Shadowmaster let out mysterious mini-lightning bolts that were colored purple.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" yelled Wanda as the dark magic surged through her body. Shadowmaster was grinning like a madman as he made his blasts stronger. Wanda's screams grew louder; finally she fell to the ground in defeat.
"Who's next?" said Shadowmaster at the three remaining opponents as his staff floated back to his hand.
Lance and Blob just stood still, overcome with fear. This guy had just taken down half of the team with little effort. Now they were actually scared to face this guy.
"What the hell are you waiting for you cowards! Get out there and double team him!" yelled Mystique at her bewildered students.
"Uh...I don't think..." started Blob.
"Don't think, JUST DO IT!"
Slowly, Lance and Freddy stepped forward and stared down the mysterious man.
"Come on...Hit me with your best shot you brainless punks!" taunted Shadowmaster.
That got Blob mad, for he let nobody called him names.
"ERRR! Nobody makes fun of the Blob!" bellowed Fred as he began to charge the old man.
Avalanche also began to attack as his eyes rolled back in his head and he began to make the ground shake around them.
"Are you sure that's a good idea rock-for-brains?" laughed Shadowmaster as he raised his staff. A strange glow then overtook the skull head on top. Suddenly, through the cracks caused by Lance, dozens of mysterious black tentacles shot up from the ground and wrapped themselves around Lance and Blob.
"What the hell!" yelled blob as more and more began to wrap around his body. "What are these things?!"
"I don't know!" yelled Lance as the sheer strength of the tentacles raised him off the ground. He tried to use his powers to shake himself free, but it only caused more of them to appear.
Mystique also found herself under attack from the tentacles, but she was strong and nimble enough to dodge them. Her students were not so lucky as the tentacles tightened their grip. Finally, a surge of dark blasts from the tentacles around the bewildered boys knocked them out cold. And Mystique was the only one left.
"And then there was one..." said Shadowmaster as the tentacles dissolved and Mystique stood only 20 feet away from her.
"You beat my students...But I assure you I will not be so easy to take down," replied Mystique.
"Only one way to find out."
Quickly, Shadowmaster shot a beam of dark energy at the shape shifter. She was easily able to dodge them, but this amused the dark wizard instead of concerning him. Then, with his hands, he engulfed Mystique in a purple haze and levitated her in to the air.
"You will submit!" taunted the wizard.
"Never!" yelled Mystique as she shifted in to the shape of an elephant and fell to the ground under the weight. She then quickly charged the Shadowmaster in her enlarge form, but once again the wizard disappeared in a cloud of smoke only to reappear right behind her. She quickly turned around and charged him again, but with the same outcome.
"I grow tired of this game..." said Shadowmaster as he raised his staff and blasted Mystique with a wave of dark energy. This changed her back to her normal form, but it didn't stop her.
"ERRRRR! I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED!" she yelled as she ran back at him and leaped in to the air. She prepared to deliver a powerful flying kick, but as she was about to make contact, the dark wizard grabbed on to her leg. Immediately the blue shape shifter was overcome by a powerful blast of the wizard's dark energy. It felt like getting electrocuted, but far more painful.
"NOOOOO! I...WON'T..."
"Yes you will..." said the Shadowmaster as Mystique fell to the ground unconscious.
Now, the entire brotherhood lay on the ground out cold. A slow smile spread across the face of the dark wizard. He raised his staff in to the air and began to chant.
"Mon amshei mon ghan ran zu, Mon amshei mon ghan ran zu."
A mysterious cloud appeared over the area as the bodies of the unconscious brotherhood were lifted off the ground. From the cloud, a dark mist engulfed each of them and mysterious lightning began to surge through their bodies. Each member of the brotherhood began to change in appearance. Their skin became covered in strange markings the flowed over their bodies like a snake. Their clothes were replaced with mysterious dark-red armor uniforms that were riddled with similar markings to those all over their skin. As this transformation neared completion, they all began to awaken from their unconscious state.
"What the..." said a bewildered Toad as he looked at his new clothes.
"What happened to us? What did you do?!" demanded Mystique.
The Shadowmaster just grinned back at them. "I made you my minions, now you answer to me and me alone."
Mystique stepped forward in defiance. "We will never...AHHHHH!"
Shadowmaster didn't let her finish, she was immediately engulfed in a haze of purple energy. She wailed out in pain until she fell to the ground.
"You don't have a choice! You will be my slaves for all eternity! I have given you the gifts of enhanced strength, speed, agility, weapons, and you are all now immortal. And I control you. If any of you all even think about defying me, you will be punished as our little shape shifter is finding out."
The others watched as Mystique cowered before the wizard. She wouldn't stop wailing in pain. Finally, it stopped.
"Are we going to have any more problems?" asked the Shadowmaster.
"...No," said Mystique looking apologetic. "We won't."
Nobody else dared to think any more thoughts of aggression towards their new master. They all just quietly stood there.
"Welcome to my world Brotherhood," said Shadowmaster with a grin. "But fear not, you won't be alone for very long. You will all soon have company..."
Then each member of the brotherhood disappeared in a puff of smoke and vanished in to a small imprisonment realm. The sky then cleared over the dark wizard as he savored his victory.
"I now have a new army, yet it is still incomplete at the moment. I need more mutant minions...And I know just were to find them..."
***********************************
Jack once again was jolted from his sleep. It was doubtful that he had a decent night sleep in weeks. His head was plagued with nightmares every time he tried to rest. He didn't know what these dreams meant, but they always gave him a terrible feeling of foreshadowing. The feeling that he knew this...Thing or this...Entity was most disturbing. He slowly got up and tried to get his thoughts together, but this was by far easier said than done. Jack glanced at his alarm clock; it read 4:30 AM. He decided that going back to sleep was useless at this point, he didn't even feel tired. Sleep had become less of a necessity and more of a burden in the past few weeks. At least in the daytime, he could keep his nightmares at bay.
As he wandered down the dark halls of the institute he finally felt his mind begin to calm down. Jack was intent on finding meaning in what was going on in his head, but other times he just wanted it to go away. He made his way to the kitchen for some early morning breakfast. As he got close he saw that the light was on and somebody was already there.
"Hey Jack," said Logan as he walked in to the room.
"Morning Logan," replied Jack dryly as he grabbed some fruit from the fridge.
"You're up early kid. Wanna tell me why?" asked Logan who was sipping on some coffee.
"You don't want to know," he replied.
"Aw come on kid, try me."
"It's just nightmares, that's all," said Jack.
"What kind of nightmares?" asked Logan curiously.
Jack didn't want to respond to that. He felt it again...That lingering feeling in the back of his mind that haunted him when he tried to open up. He didn't know if this was because of Morris or if it was because of his dreams. Either way it wouldn't stop festering like a splinter in his brain.
"I didn't ask you why you were up early, please don't bother me with my reasons." Jack's tone was flat; it sounded like he just wanted to drop the conversation altogether.
Logan just looked back at him for a brief moment with no real expression on his face. Jack just sighed and went back to eating. The two men stayed there in silence as the early morning hours ticked by. Finally, Logan got up to leave, but before he could Jack had one last thing on his mind.
"Ironic isn't it?" Logan looked back. "You've spent years trying to remember and piece together your past, while I've spent years trying to forget mine."
Logan didn't respond right away, but he still contemplated Jack's words. "Well, that's why we're at this institute kid."
Logan then left for the danger room, leaving Jack behind in the kitchen. He sat in silence as looked out the window as the early signs of light were beginning to show in the morning sky. Soon, his attention turned to the glowing symbols on his right hand. They began to give of a slight glimmer of light as the looked at them. Slowly with the other hand, he felt the warmth coming from the sacred relic.
'I have great power and great weakness. I know something is coming and I don't know what it is. If I'm not careful, my family could get hurt. My...Family.'
***************************************
Outside the main headquarters of the Acolytes, all seemed calm in the light of the rising sun. Inside, Magneto was hard at work crew planning his next big idea for mutant-kind. The four subordinates Sabertooth, Gambit, Colossus, and Pyro were lounging about, waiting for the word from their boss that could come at any one moment. Unknown to any of them, a dark cloud formed over their compound. It was the same kind of cloud that foreshadowed the Brotherhood's home the other day. Out of the cloud stepped the eager Shadowmaster, ready for his next victims to come to him.
"My minion army will grow. With these lowly mortals in my arsenal I shall truly be unstoppable." Then, the dark wizard closed his eyes and began to cast his dark magic upon the unsuspecting Acolytes.
*************************************
AN: Well, that's it for part 2. Stay tuned for the next chapter if you want to see the Shadowmaster battle Magneto. I apologize for my slow updating, I've been busy with school lately, but rest assured, I will keep on writing. I have a ton of other ideas for X-men fics and so little time to write them all down. Don't worry, I won't stop as long as you all don't tell me to. Remember to REVIEW! Post them on fanfiction.net or send them to me at slickboy444@aol.com. Until next time, best wishes to you all.
