Here is a reply to the single review I got from Krylancelo:
Krylancelo- Thank you for that compliment. This means that I will continue writing this
until the whole story is over.
Shame on the rest of you for not responding! Now, ahem, ON WITH THE FIC!!!
Chapter Seven: The Road to Apocalypse
Annemarie paced in her room. "This is not good. If Apocalypse knows of my
powers, he will do anything to make me join him." Tsukino watched her. "You could
fight him off. You have done such things before.
"That was when my powers were mild. Now they are being taken out of my
hands, literally. Back when I got them, they were like newborn puppies. Now like full-
grown dogs, I can barely hold them. What should I do?"
Tsukino thought for a minute. "Perhaps we could fly to a desolate place, such as
the moon, and practice there?" he suggested. "Perhaps. Except that there, my powers will
be less. Meaning I can only use small amounts." "True", Tsukino agreed, "but it is the
best thing I can think of. Let's go now."
Annemarie transformed into Chikyu, and created a clone of herself. "Act as I
always do, and if Apocalypse shows up, call me through our telepathic link", she ordered,
and the clone nodded, skateboarding outside. Tsukino transformed into his true form, and
they both flew to the moon.
It was desolate, but not completely deserted. Both Chikyu and Tsukino were
careful not to land their feet (or claws) on the ground, and both avoided the space probes.
Then they landed in a crater, deep enough to conceal them. "Guess we should start",
Chikyu created a discus out of rock and began throwing it around.
Then Tsukino created obstacles of ice that were normally used against enemies.
Chikyu at first had difficulty defeating each and every one of them, but she got better
with her firepowers. It wasn't perfect, but she had them in her hands.
When she had those mastered, he began working on her use of plants. She had a
harder time than usual, however, keeping up with growing and shrinking them, otherwise
they threatened to overpower her. It wasn't long before she lost control, and the vines
turned on her. She barely dodged them, burning them with her firepower. She took a deep
breath and tried again. The vines were under her control faintly better before they became
Benedict Arnolds. This time they caught her, threatening to strangle her until Tsukino
stopped them.
The third time she almost had them, but her emotions interfered. Her
apprehension of her not controlling them made them livid with frenzy. They weren't just
plants; they had life, and they had something to do with it. She protested against them,
trying to tell them to calm down and trying to stop the fear. Tsukino read her mind.
"Don't deny your fear!" he shouted. "Let it flow through you! Accept it!" Chikyu
screwed up her face. It's hard to accept that you're afraid, but she tried hard. Eventually,
the vines grudgingly trusted her enough to allow her to control them. Then it was time to
work on her ice powers.
Those were slightly easier, but only slightly. She never knew how hard it was to
prevent an avalanche. But it was nothing compared to her electric powers. They went
HAYWIRE. No, haywire was an understatement. More like they had a mind of their own
and wanted to destroy everything in their path. Chikyu tried hard, but they wouldn't
yield. Quickly Tsukino stopped it.
"That's enough for one day", he halted the attacks. Chikyu nodded wearily. Her
powers had really drained her. Even though she had tried to use small portions, they had
exploded.
Somewhere, in the fabric of time, a hole existed. All it needed was something...
not human. Slowly its jaws opened. (Note: This is a personification. Virgil: Could've
fooled me, Draconmouth punches him OW! Draconmouth: Do you wanna live in this
story or not?)
Xavier took off Cerebro and wheeled out of the room. "Apocalypse has found his
way out of time. He will then proceed to destroy the human race." "Is there anything you
can do?" Jean walked with him. "Not much more than what I was able to do last time."
Suddenly screams echoed from Kitty's room.
"Danielle!" Kitty tried to help her friend, but the Native American girl was on the
floor, gasping as visions went past her. Everyone streamed in, Virgil one of the first. "If I
didn't know any better, I'd say she was having a seizure", he commented.
"Virgil, this is no time for jokes!" even Shenice was panicking. In an attempt to
contain Danielle from rolling around, Virgil used his powers to lift her up onto the bed.
Jean tried to warn him, but it was too late, and Virgil then shouted something and
clutched his arm. Danielle continued to roll around.
Suddenly Optic came into the room. He blinked and Danielle stopped jerking.
Everyone stared at Optic. "How did you do that?" Virgil asked. The young boy did not
answer as he instead helped Danielle up onto her bed. Kitty whispered to Evan, "You
owe me five dollars."
