Limbo Kurt was terrified.

He had been found in the X-men's fridge, eating everything in sight. Logan had been the one to find him, and the chase was on as the alarms blared wildly all over.

He ran into a room that didn't have a window, and he found himself cornered as Kurt, Jean, and Logan came in. He tried to teleport, but Jean cut off that option and he was stuck in the corner, his back pressed up against it as he trembled and whimpered softly in the infernal tongue.

"What is he doing here?" Logan asked. Kurt thought about it, and his eyes grew wide when he realized what must have happened. He crouched down in front of Limbo Kurt, his tail swaying lazily side to side to show him that it was all right.

"It's all right." He said gently. "We won't hurt you."

"I was hungry." Limbo Kurt said. "I didn't eat all of your food..." Logan snorted.

"Yeah, you left a bottle of ketchup in there for us."

"Logan." Kurt said, looking over his shoulder. Turning back to Limbo Kurt, he smiled and held out his hand slowly. "Come on, you and I need to tell everyone what happened in the Danger Room all right?" he asked. Limbo Kurt's stomach growled loudly in answer.

"And we'll get you some more to eat all right?" he added with a laugh. Nodding, Limbo Kurt took his hand and they all headed for Xavier's office to talk. ***
"And you're not sure why this happened?" Xavier asked when both had told him what had happened in the Danger Room. Kurt nodded, but Limbo Kurt hesitated, biting his lower lip slightly.

"Do you know anything else?" Xavier asked gently.

"I think so." Limbo Kurt admitted softly. "Once, I heard my master talking to Mephisto. Mephisto said...what did he say... He said that he needed to get rid of a few realities and...and that's all I remember..." he mumbled sadly, his tail wrapping around one of his legs slowly.

"It's all right." Xavier assured him. "We'll figure out everything else from there." Hank took Limbo Kurt gently and led him to the infirmary to look at a few of his old wounds while the others tried to figure everything out.

"Mephisto wanted to get rid of a few realities?" Kurt asked aloud.

"Isn't Mephisto that demon who's the boss over Belasco and everything?" Logan asked. "I've heard of him before. I think he's the reason why we have different versions of ourselves around the place isn't he?"

"Yes, I believe he is." Xavier nodded. "But why would you put Kurt in a situation like that with all of those versions of him?"

"The computer was saying that it needed to clear out some universes before it opened the door." Kitty pointed out. "And Limbo Kurt said that he heard Mephisto say the same thing."

"So you're saying that because all of those versions of myself died, so did their worlds?" Kurt asked, his cheeks turning a pale blue.

"I'm afraid it looks like that." Scott nodded.

"But what would be the purpose of destroying different versions of me?" Kurt asked. "What could he possibly gain from it?"

"I'm not sure." Xavier sighed. "But something tells me that it won't be the last time that he pulls something like this. All we can do is hope that we are prepared for him the next time he tries it!" ***
He needed more room!

Mephisto growled, narrowing his eyes as he watched worlds collapse into themselves as one of their key people died in 616.

But it just wasn't enough!

Clenching his fist, Mephisto put a few Captain Britain's into a single room to take down a few more worlds.

He needed more room so that he could manipulate the entire Marvel Universe into his own making. Then he would be the supreme ruler of the universe!

But he couldn't interfere with Earth 616...not directly anyway. He could just put a few different versions into one room and watch the fireworks after that.

Once he was able to get rid of as many universes as he could, he would replace them with his own deformed and perverted versions, sending the people to Earth 616 to take it down once and for all.

Until then, all he could do was sit and wait, and destroy worlds along the way.

The End
