Okay this chapter is heavily influenced by what's in the comic version of X-Men. This is my own twisted spin on it.
Some Battles and Surprising Revelations
"Man I've played some real dives before but nothing like this," Benny whistled as he looked around. The sky was gray, there were shattered purple shards sticking up out of the hard ground.
"Barumpbump please get off my back," Hank moaned as he lay underneath him.
"Oops! Sorry! No wonder the ground felt so soft," Benny got off of him.
"Not as soft as your head," Logan grunted. "Are we all here?"
"Most of us," Scott looked around. "I don't see Forge, Multiple, Magma or Boom Boom."
"Daisy Mae is not here as well," Ororo noted. "They were left behind."
"But my daughter is here in harm's way?" Margali groaned. "Wonderful!"
"Hey you can't blame Kurt and the others for this!" Amanda snapped. "Magic is your department! Remember?"
"Um if we can all focus on the big picture here?" Kitty interrupted. "Okay what do we do and how do we get out of here?"
"Simple," Dr. Strange said. "We go to Belasco's temple, stop the invasion, heal the rift in the dimension and I will use my powers to transport us home."
"That simple huh?" Logan grunted, folding his arms.
"Well in addition to your powers we do have two sorcerers on our side," Dr. Strange told him.
"Don't forget me Doc!" Benny said cheerfully.
"I couldn't if I tried," Dr. Strange groaned. "But despite that we may have a good shot."
"I'm guessing this Belasco guy is the ruler of this dimension?" Sam asked.
"You guess correctly young Cannonball," Dr. Strange remarked.
"Is that him?" Sam gulped as he pointed upwards. Towering over them was a giant 40 foot purple demon with six arms, two horns and a tail with spikes.
"Uh no," Dr. Strange remarked. "That's one of his lesser minions I believe."
The demon shot out some flames from its mouth. Jean used her telekinesis as a shield. "You call this a lesser demon?" She shouted. "His flames are too strong! I can't hold it back much longer!"
The force from the blast and the collapsing of the mental shield scattered everyone. Between dodging the fire blasts, the arms and the tail the X-Men were not having an easy time. Dr. Strange and Margali were using their powers trying to protect Amanda, Benny, Burke and those that were knocked down.
"It's like fighting a freaking mutant Sentinel!" Logan snarled. "My claws barely made a dent!"
Peter managed to dodge one blast only to lose something from his uniform. A small piece of paper floated to the ground. "NO!" Peter in armor form jumped toward it just as the giant demon was about to swing down a huge club right where he was.
"OH NO YOU DON'T!" Rogue flew up and used her super strength to sock the demon on the jaw. The demon whimpered and fell to the ground unconscious with a thud. "Well I guess what they say is true. The bigger they are…"
"The harder they fall," Dr. Strange groaned. "We know, we know. Let's leave the bad jokes for Benny shall we?"
"Wow," Benny mused. "Who would have thought that such a big guy would have such a glass jaw."
"Well that's why he's a lesser demon," Dr. Strange explained. "But what I don't understand Colossus is what made you jump right into harm's way like that. I mean what is that that's so important to you that you nearly got killed over?"
"This is a picture of my little sister," Peter told him.
"You carry that wherever you go?" Benny asked. "Well couldn't you have simply called up and asked her for another one if it was lost or something?"
"His sister is missing you moron!" Rogue snapped at him.
"Oh sorry…" Benny gulped. "You know me, open mouth insert foot. What happened to her?"
"She was kidnapped by the Russian Mob I believe…" Peter sighed.
"WHAT?" Benny asked.
"It is a long story," Peter sighed. "But somehow they found out about my abilities and kidnapped my sister. Magneto told me about this. He said that if I would work for him he would help me find my sister. It took me a while to realize that he had no intention of helping."
"Sorry," Benny apologized. He heard something. "Oh great! Reinforcements!"
Several demons appeared. "Here we go again!" Rogue groaned and soon the X-Men were fighting them.
Kurt was knocked down by one demon. "KURT NO!" Amanda shouted as she saw the demon prepare to impale her boyfriend with a sharp spear. Before she realized what had happened a powerful feeling enveloped her. Light shot out of her hands and she used the blast to not only knock out the demon but several demons around it.
"Amanda…" Kurt blinked. "You're…a mutant?"
"That was not a mutant related blast," Dr. Strange told them. "It was a magical one."
"What?" Margali asked.
"It seems your daughter has inherited your innate magical abilities," Dr. Strange nodded. "As I suspected she will grow to become a powerful sorceress."
"What?" Amanda gasped. "I'm a sorceress?"
"Oh god no…" Margali groaned.
"Well it's not like you did not know that this would be a possibility!" Dr. Strange told her. "You should have prepared her."
"It is you who should be prepared!" A loud voice called out from the army of demons that regrouped.
"Is that you Belasco?" Dr. Strange shouted. "Come out and face me!"
"So if Belasco is not in charge of Limbo anymore…who is?" Dr. Strange mused.
"Our mistress rules here," A huge purple demon appeared. "I am S'ym! Enforcer of Limbo!"
"Mistress?" Dr. Strange. "Since when does Limbo have a female leader?"
"You don't know?" Logan looked at him.
"Hey even I miss something once in a while," Dr. Strange shrugged.
S'ym grunted. "Soon our mistress will rule that pathetic mud ball of a planet!"
"Not on my watch pal!" Benny powered up. "Now you're going to see some real sorcery!"
"Benny?" Dr. Strange gulped. "What are you doing? Benny! Benny!"
Too late. Benny shot out a magic blast. Unfortunately it went in the wrong direction and hit most of the adults head on. "BENNY YOU IDIOT!" Dr. Strange screamed as the blast shot him, Xavier, Logan, Burke, Margali and Hank far off into the distance.
"Oops," Benny gulped. "Sorry! Storm you and the other X-Men…" He looked around and saw that the blast had knocked everyone else unconscious.
"Uh oh…" Benny gulped as the spears were pointed around them. "This is not good."
************************************************************************
"Wonderful," Hank brushed himself off in another location. "We got blasted off thanks to Air Benny!" He looked around and saw they were in a huge fog. "And such a lovely destination it is."
"It's worse than that I fear," Xavier held his fingers to his head. "The X-Men are unconscious and they've been captured."
"Great we're split up and they've got the kids," Logan grunted. "Barumpbump screwed up again!"
"Oh I don't know," They heard Burke's voice. "It seems that it did do some good after all." Out of the smoke appeared a huge red demon wearing dark navy blue armor. He had horns, a tail as well as a moustache and a goatee.
"What did that idiot do to you, Burke?" Logan snapped. "Great! Now we gotta find a way to change him back as well!"
"Actually my friends," The figure that was once Matt Burke grinned. "This is my real form."
Dr. Strange's eyes narrowed. "Azazel…"
Didn't see that coming did ya?
