Second chapter. So what did you think? This is where things are starting
to get graphic and bloody and really sad. TISSUES ALERT.I think.well I
cried when I wrote it, does that count? You have been warned. Thank you
for reading and please leave me a review.
Btw, I don't think I made a disclaimer last chapter; so I will now. Disclaimer: I don't own X-Men or any of the characters I use. Only Pyro's family is mine.
Xavier rolled off the plane and onto the ground outside what looked like an original WWII death camp. It looked like something brought deep from within the depth of his nightmares. He saw many other people, mutants gathering in front the gates, Sentials standing behind them. Human guards opened the gates and pushed everyone inside. Everyone they could see had those power stopping necklaces on. Soon a Sential landed in front of Xavier and Stryker. "Orders, sir." The Sential said in its dark, robotic voice. "Take these mutants inside and take them up onto the addressing podium. I will meet them there shortly. First I want to see how the process is coming." Stryker said, smiling at Xavier again. The Sential nodded and signaled to others. They came and picked up Xavier and his X- Men and took them inside the camp.
The inside of the camp was the scariest thing Bobby Drake had ever seen in his entire life. He was just standing up on the platform, but watching the faces of the mutants that were entering the camp was so scary, he was terrified just watching them. They were all grouped and pushed up in front of the platform. Bobby scanned the crowd and found just a few familiar faces; he saw his neighbor back from Boston, Jake. He hadn't known he was a mutant and was shocked to see him again, especially here. After scanning the crown a bit more thoroughly, Stryker walked up on the platform and the crowd quieted. He smiled at everyone and waited for complete silence. "I'm sure that a good percentage of you already know who I am; I am William Stryker, one of the most anti-mutant leaders in the world. And now, finally, I have been able to put my thoughts and dreams into action. That is why all of you are here, you see. It is time to once again purify the world; the mutant race is about to disappear." The crowd gasped and started to talk quietly. Stryker only smiled and waited patiently for silence once again.
"I am sorry to say, well actually, I'm not sorry to say that you have no say. You have no option in being here. You were just one of the lucky ones who were captured first and will have the privilege of dying first. I'm sure your wondering how exactly I plan on doing this, seeing as you are all mutants with powers and I am just a human. I think some of you know already, but your powers have been taken care of. You can no longer access your mutant abilities with those mutant collars that you have on your necks." Everyone stopped and looked at the tight collars that they were all wearing. "So, now you will know what it's like to be human, to be real, not just an animal." Stryker insulted, and some of the mutants cried out or raised a middle finger.
"So what will you do to us while we are here!?" a mutant called out loudly from the middle of the crowd. The crowd split where the person had spoken out. He gasped as he saw standing there, Magneto and his group; he was with Mystique, Toad, Sabretooth, as well as his old friend Pyro. Pyro, or John, had once been Bobby's best friend. But then John left the X-Men to join Magneto. But now, Pyro wasn't alone; clinging on to his arm tightly was a woman who looked to be about his age. Golden rings shined on both of their fingers. A small child of about three years was holding on to her mother. Bobby smiled for a second, seeing them there; John had a family now. He looked at the little girl; she looked just like her father. But as he looked, he could see how terrified she looked. She was holding on tightly to her parents and in tears.
It had been John who had spoken out. Stryker smiled. "Why, you mean, during these few days before you die? You will have the worst possible time you could possibly imagine. You will be stripped of all valuables. The young will be separated from there parents; the old will be killed on the spot." The mutants were all terrified now. Children were crying and holding on to there parents, scared. Stryker smiled again, even wider, he was doing a lot of smiling these days. He liked watching the mutants worry. It discussed Bobby.
"Guards, first, separate them." Stryker commanded and all of his soldiers moved at once. There was too many of them to be stopped, even being outnumbered by the mutants; the mutants were unarmed, and the guards were fully loaded. Parents tried desperately to hold to there children as guards pulled them away. Screams were heard by children, mothers, and the elderly. Several elderly hit the ground immediately. Others screamed as there older relates died. Children were being herded over to another corner. One mother refused to give up her child; as quick as lightning, a guard took out his gun, shot the mother, and took the screaming child over to the others. Bobby watched as Pyro stood with his wife and daughter. As a guard approached, he grabbed Pyro's shoulder and tried to pull him away. This was a mistake; Pyro had him flipped and on the ground in seconds. Other guards pulled out there guns. The commander called, "parents, over here, and children over there, now! If you don't, you're all dead and we won't have to worry about it." Slowly, they began doing as told.
Bobby saw John's wife begin to pull away, towards where she was told to go; but he saw John grab her shoulder and keep her there beside him. "You two! Get to where your supposed to be!" a guard shouted at them. "I don't think so." John said. John had never been one to except being pushed around. "Are you trying to cause problems?" Stryker asked him. "Sure, if that's what you call it." John said. "Guards take his child." One stepped forward to do as Stryker told, but John quickly turned. "Don't you dare. Don't you have children? What would you do?" John asked the guard and he stopped. He backed up and seemed to puzzle over the question. Now Stryker was slightly agitated.
John spoke up again. "What are all of you thinking? You're all going to give in that easily? You're just going to let him take your children away from you? How could you? What kind of parents are you? Do you think they are really going to keep your children safe? Can your trust your child's life with them?" the mutants talked to themselves and seemed to agree with what Pyro was saying. Soon, they began to move back and stand with Pyro; several of them called over there children. As they got about half way to him, Stryker was rather angry now. He made a signal to one guard; that guard kicked John in the back of the shin, causing him to lose balance. He hit the ground and his daughter, Alexis, bounced away from him.
"You dare to challenge me? I have complete rule over you! I can end your life in a heartbeat! And still you dare to challenge me?" Stryker asked, totally enraged. "Yes, I do. You know what you're doing is wrong, and so do I." John said. Mutants were nodding now and Alexis was getting back up; she had landed and rolled about 15 feet away. Stryker was angry now; everything had been going smoothly. No one had resisted and they were all indeed frightened. But this one mutant has just switched everything that he had going, around. Now, they were going to resist him; he was sure that they were still afraid, but now they would not back down so easily. Mutants began to walk towards John from about 30 feet away. "You think you can stop this!?" Stryker asked him. "I think we can stop this. We are not just going to let you hurt the people that are important to us. I will do everything I possibly can to stop this; we can't let you hurt so many people." John said, standing tall.
Stryker was fuming now; this man was getting in his way and making the mutants want to fight. He didn't want them to resist; all they need to do is except their fate. "You can not stop me; you aren't even people." Stryker spat at them. "We are so people. We are just as real as you." John said and everyone was nodding and a few shouted out yeah. Alexis had stopped to tie her shoe lace, which had come loose when she fell, about 10 feet from her father. "We aren't going to do anything you tell us too! We will fight you while we're here. And if we ever figure out how to get these collars off, you'll be dead in a heartbeat!" a man in the crowd shouted out, and the crowd shouted Yeah! With him. Stryker turned to John. "This is your fault; all you had to do is cooperate." Stryker said. "I will not cooperate with you." John said. By now all the mutants were on his side. Alexis began to slowly turn towards her dad and take a few steps forward; she was preoccupied by the only plant left on the ground, it was a white flower.
Stryker raised a finger and pointed at him. "You will be the first to suffer." Stryker said and then called out to guard. "Fire." He said. His wife grabbed him, in fear that he would be shot. But Stryker moved his finger when the guard pulled his gun. "No!" John said and began to run forward. But before he could reach her, the sound of a gun was heard along with the scream of a little girl; Alexis fell to the ground, still clutching the white flower to her. "No!" John and his wife screamed and ran forward to her. John pulled her up onto her lap. "Daddy, what's happening? It hurts daddy make it stop." she said, crying and holding her mom's hand. "Alexis.oh Alexis." Her mother said, holding her hand and pulling it to her heart. "Please don't leave me Lexis, please don't go." John said, cradling her against him. "Daddy, I don't want to go." she said, but her eyes began to close and her grip loosened. "I love you Lexis." Her mother said. "I love you.too mommy." She said but she was starting to fade. "I love.you daddy." She said, grabbing his hand. "I.love to too Alexis." John said, crying himself. She smiled at him and them her eyes closed; she was dead.
Well what did you think? I was crying when I wrote it, so did any of you cry? Let me know. that was sad.I'm very sad and mad at myself for writing it. Please leave me a review. Thanks much for reading it. I know not many people have read it because it's rated R. But thanks much.
