DISCLAIMER:  Don't you people EVER die?

I'm awfully sorry for not updating, but since my computer is a vicious hellbeast from Hades, it commited suicide when I almost was finished.

But in this chapter it will finally be revealed what the Bulbasaurs are used for! You don't care? To bad for you.

(The following morning, outside.)

XAVIER: Come along, Kurt, keep up! Be careful, both of you. The enemy has many spies in his service: sparrows, snails, strange guys with facial tattoos.. Is it safe?

(Evan pats his short pocket.)

XAVIER: Never put it on, for the secret agents of the Dark Lord will be drawn to its power. Always remember, Evan, the Ring is trying to get back to its master. It wants to be found.

(Xavier wheels off, leaving Evan and Kurt in a forest.)

(Random shots of Evan and Kurt skating along countryside and streams.)

BACKSTAGE ROGUE: Where'd the other skateboard come from?

(Evan walks along a cornfield. Kurt follows behind, then suddenly stops by a scarecrow.)

KURT: This is it.

EVAN: (Turns around) This is what?

KURT: I take one more step, it'll be the the farthest avay from home I've ever been.

EVAN: C'mon Kurt. Remember what auntie O always used to say...

STORM VOICEOVER: It's a dangerous business, Evan, going out of the door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's  no knowing where you might be swept off to.

EVAN: Auntie O? Where are you?

KURT: Okay. (Bamfs two feet forward.)

(Later, Kurt is setting up a tent.)

EVAN: Great! I totally forgot to bring my own tent!

KURT: Umm...No thank you! It was edgy enough in the original movei!

(It starts to rain.)

EVAN: Aaww... (Folds up an umbrella from his backpack.)

(A Ringwraith stares on the Shire.)

CALLISTO: This really is a beautiful sight.. Oh wait, I'm not supposed to talk right now...

(Xavier wheels swiftly into Isengard. Jean with white hair descends down the steps of Orthanc to greet him.)

XAVIER: YOU'RE PLAYING SARUMAN?!? BUT WHY?

JEAN: I can't tell you why. I... I have no choice.

(Xavier gives her a very odd look.)

JEAN: Smoke rises from Mt. Doom. The hour grows late and Charles Xavier rides to Isengard to seek my counsel. For that is why you have come, isn't it... my old professor?

XAVIER: Jean Grey. (Bows.)

(Jean is wheeling Xavier through the gardens of Isengard.)

JEAN: And you're sure about this?

XAVIER: Without any doubt.

JEAN: The Ring of Power has been found.

XAVIER: All this years it was in the Shire, under the very wheels of my wheelchair. Wait a minute, that explains why the ground there always was so bumpy!

JEAN: And you didn't have the wit to see it. Your love for the halfing's weed has clearly slowed your mind.

XAVIER: But we still have time. Time enough to counter Apocalypse if we act quickly.

JEAN: Time!? What kind of time do you think we have?

(Jean and Xavier are conferring in the chambers of Orthanc.)

JEAN: Apocalypse has regained much of his former strength. He cannot yet take physical form, but spirit has lost none of its potency.

Councealed within his fortress, the Lord of Mordor sees all – his gaze pierces earth, wind, water, fire and... shadow!

You know of what I speak,  professor – a great Eye, lidless.... circled by Bulbasaurs.. (Shudders.)

XAVIER: The Eye of Apocalypse.

JEAN: He is gathering all evil to him. Very soon he will summon an army great enough to launch an assault upon Middle Earth.

XAVIER: You know this? How?

JEAN: (Proudly) I have seen it!

(Jean wheels Xavier into a big round room with a table in the middle.)

XAVIER: A Cerebro is a dangerous tool, Jean.

JEAN: Why? Why should we fear to use it?

(Jean unveils the Cerebro helmet, which is lying on the table.)

XAVIER: They are not all accounted for, the lost Seeing Hats. We know not who else may be watching! (Throws the blanket over Cerebro again.)

(The Eye of Apocalypse flashes!)

JEAN: The hour is later than you think. Apocalypse's forces are lready moving. The Nine has left Minas Morgul.

XAVIER: (Shocked) The Nine!?

JEAN: They crossed the river Isen on Midsummer's Eve, disguised as riders in black.

XAVIER: They've reached the Shire?!

JEAN: They will find the Ring..... and kill the one who carries it.

XAVIER: Evan!

(Xavier heads towards the door, but Jean closes it with her mind. Then she closes all the other doors.)

JEAN: You didn't seriously think that a hobbit could mess with Apocalypse? There are none who can. Against the power of Mordor there can be no victory.

We must join with him, professor. We must join with Apocalypse. It would be wise, my friend.

XAVIER: Tell me, "friend". When did Jean the Grey abadon wisdom for madness?!

JEAN: RAWR! I'll get you!

(Jean throws Xavier out of the wheelchair with her mind.

Xavier throws Jean down on her back. They battle back and forth, until Jean gets a determined look upon her face.)

JEAN: I choose you, Bulbasaur!

(A Bulbasaur appears from nowhere.)

JEAN: Vine whip, Bulbasaur!

(The Bulbasaur wraps its vines around Xavier, making him unable to move. And he's WAY to shocked to use his incredible mind powers.)

JEAN: I gave you the chance to aid me willingly. But you ............have chosen............. the way of pain!

(Jean  throws Xavier up to the top of Orthanc.)

JEAN: Good job, Bulbasaur.
