Brotherhood Evolution: Horseman of Death
Here we go. More fun for ya'll…
Xavier's
"Angel!" Storm screamed.
"I am Death!" Archangel stated simply. "And you shall die." Death roared as he sent his razor feathers at the gathered mutants. Lance threw up an earthed wall to deflect the feathers as Death and Famine took to the air.
"Fight on!" Lance roared as he launched a seismic blast at War, trying to slow the giant down. He was answered with a savage blow to the base of the skull.
"Lance!" Kitty shouted as she ran over to her boyfriend. Archangel flew towards the two of them. Kitty phased them into the ground as Death swooped low, slicing Cyclops chest with his razor wings.
"Gag!" Cyclops shouted as he fell to the ground. He still still managed to fire an Optic blast that knocked Famine off his horse.
"We have to hit them hard." X muttered under her breath.
"Let's do it." Pietro said simply as the Brotherhood rushed the Horsemen; Wanda hexed Death so that he was forced to stay on the ground as Toad mule kicked Pestilence. Blob slammed into Famine as X took a chuck out of Caliban's back. Wanda hexed War into a tree and Pietro created a whirlwind that sucked Famine's flames away.
"Infidels!" Death shouted as he burst out of the ground, only to get beaned by an optic blast from Cyclops. Soon the X-men were in the fight as well.
"Horsemen! We ride!" Death shouted as he flew off. Famine leaped upon his flaming horse as Caliban mounted a pale green one. War leapt onto his large red-black stallion. Soon the Horsemen were gone, leaving the battered and bruised mutants.
"Soon." Lance stated as he emerged from the ground, leaning on Kitty.
"Soon." Cyclops agreed as he held his bleeding chest.
Somewhere else
"And at last, my horsemen stand complete." Apocalypse stated with a smile.
"Yes milord. They almost tricked me into fighting against you, but the glory of your will was with me." War stated as Apocalypse smiled at him.
"You have done well my horsemen. You may rest well now. Death, I have a very special mission for you." Apocalypse stated simply as he and his most loyal horseman left.
Later at the Mansion
"This is un-frigging' believable." Jubilee muttered as Generation X was filled in on what had happened.
" Your tellin' me." Chamber muttered. " If I had known… Mike was that bad… off I never… would've… left him alone… Joining… this Apocalypse bugger… I mean… damn."
"How's Betsy holding up?" Paige asked.
"How do you think?" X asked. "Her boyfriend turned his back on her."
"And having me here probably isn't helping out a whole lot." Sarah stated as she leaned back. "You know, with the whole me wanting them both dead thing."
"We'll deal with that later." Xavier stated. "We need to worry about Omega and Warren. Sean, I can trust that you and Generation X will stay here and help out all you can?"
"Count on it Charles. But right now, I think it be best if we rest up a bit. Come on Lads." Banshee said as he led Generation X away. "I'll be back shortly to talk with ye." Banshee said as he walked away.
"No. That wasn't Mike. That was War. Mike's trapped inside. And we need to get him free." Toad stated angrily.
"Agreed." Lance said as he let his arm get bandaged by Beast. "But what about Angel. That was Warren. Right?"
"I don't know. We never recovered Warren's body. Perhaps Apocalypse interfered somehow, saved his life and brainwashed him." Beast thought aloud.
"Wrong." Came the icy reply from behind them. The mutant's turned to see Angel floating outside the balcony, his skull mask not on.
"Death." Logan cursed.
"I have a message for you from the Lord Apocalypse." Archangel stated, his blue face creasing in disgust. "Michael Nagrite willingly joined us. In doing so, the Lord Apocalypse returned you to life." Death stated as he pointed at Psylocke. "His love for you was so strong that he willingly gave up his free will and life to us. He is ours now. And forever."
"And you Warren?" Xavier asked.
"I still posses my free will Charles..." Warren said with a twisted smile. "Where the humans cut off my wings, the dark Lord gave me new ones with which to claim my vengeance." Angel stated in anger. "Vengeance that you will all feel for what you did to me." Death stated coldly.
"Warren, you would have died if we hadn't amputated your wings." Beast stated.
"Better to die whole, than incomplete!" Warren screamed. "But no matter now…"
"We were buddies dude." Iceman stated. "We hung out all the time."
"We were your family…." Kitty said. "You were my Favorite teacher."
"And you were the most annoying children I ever dealt with." Archangel stated as Kitty gasped. Lance got in front of her, radiating anger and energy. "You have you warnings and explanations. Now I give you another warning. Your lives were spared last time because the Dark Lord wished it. You amuse him. But do not interfere with his will again. Otherwise, the Horseman shall ride again. You have been warned." Death stated as he flew away.
"Wonderful." Scott muttered.
"I can't believe Mike gave himself up to that madman…" Betsy stated in horror.
"Can't you?" Tabitha asked. "You of all people know how much he loved you."
"Oh God…" Betsy said as she chocked back the tears.
"Come here Bets." Pietro said as he hugged her. "Chucky. We call in everyone." Pietro said simply.
"Agreed." Xavier stated.
"X-Factor, Gen X, and what's left of the Acolytes." Lance recited off.
"All that's left of the Acolytes is Mastermind and Colossus" Banshee stated as he walked back inside. "And he went back to mother Russia. The Cajun joined you guys; I'm training Gen X with Jono here. Sabertooth is Mia after the Morlock fiasco. Pyro's running with the A man and Xorn's a no show, same with Lifeline."
"We're right here Comrades." Colossus said as he walked in with Xorn, Mastermind, and Lifeguard. Gambit leading them in.
"Figured we need de help. So Remy borrow de jet and pick up a few friends." Gambit said with a smirk.
"I love you swamp rat." Rogue said as she hugged him.
"He did well, for I have stayed in hiding far to long as Apocalypse has taken his hold over mutants." Xorn stated.
"Way to sound maniacle Xorn." Toad quipped.
"Hi Lancey poo." Lifeguard state with a smile.
"help?" Lance said weakly.
"Stay away from my Man." Kitty hissed as she grabbed Lance's crotch. "See this. This is mine." Kitty spat.
"Whoa!" Lance said in surprise.
"Half Pint?" Logan muttered in suprise.
"Yes!" Lance said, shaking his head.
"I'm gonna kill you." LOgan swore as he popped his claws.
"If only de man was here. He be a big help in dis." Gambit muttered. "But Apocalypse made him go boom."
"I agree. Magnus would be a boon right now." Xavier stated. "His added powers and knowledge would be quite welcome."
"I hate to agree with Chuck on this. But we're going to need all the power we can get." Logan muttered. "Apocalypse just revealed his third pyramid. Counting his home base that makes four areas we need to hit if we want to take him out."
"And he has four horsemen to guard them." Wanda stated in anger.
"Then perhaps the charade should end." Xorn stated as he removed his helmet. Revealing Magneto, the Master of Magnetism underneath it. "Hello children, Charles."
"Father?" Wanda and Pietro exclaimed as the rest of the mutants looked on in shock.
"There's something you don't see everyday..." Toad said simply.
"Don't even go there Toad." Nightcrawler stated.
Next Time on Brotherhood Evolution: Getting Ready. With all the pieces moved into place, Apocalypse makes his move. Its now up to the Brotherhood and X-men, along with a few others to stop him. But can they all stand up to the combined power of this madman?
Whoo doggy. I keep the cliffhangers coming, don't I? If you thought these past couple of chapters were intense, you ain't seen nothing yet.
