THE END IS GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER...WITH EVERY WORD YOU READ...
OoOoOoOo Chapter 16 OoOoOoOo
/It's easier to run,
Replacing this pain with something numb,
It's so much easier to go,
Then face all this pain here all alone/
As soon as the mouthed words came out of her mouth, the chaos stared. Everyone ran towards each other and within seconds people were paired up to fight the toughest people while others were fought the less strong mutants like the nasty boys individually.
Rogue went straight for Sinister but to her dismay got hit by juggernaut before she could reach her old leader. Juggernaut ran his big fist on her back as she flew by him making Rogue hit the ground so hard her body made a hole outlined like her body. She slowly got up eyes narrowed as Juggernaut tried hitting her the same way again. Before it could make contact with her she grabbed on to it brought him over her then bringing him down slamming him into the floor. She knew this wouldn't bring him to much pain since the only true way to beat Cane was through his brain, but it didn't mean she wasn't going to try to see if beating the shit out of him did the trick. She grabbed him around the waist and got ready to punch him hard but didn't see his foot come up and hit her straight in the gut. Rogue made a little moan indicating pain and crashed right into the tree behind her. Juggernaut slowly walked towards her knowing that she wasn't really hurt…after all she was the invulnerable one. As he got closer a slim leg went up to kick him but he grabbed a hold of it and through her leg causing her whole body to move with it to the side. He threw her around hoping that that would do her harm but as she was in the air she stopped herself from being thrown too far and flew back to him, his back was towards him since he though he had finished her off and he was walking towards Scarlet Witch, Psylocke, and X-23 who were occupied with apocalypse.
"Sorrah Suguh but we ain't done here…" she yelled as her leg made contact with his back and he fell to the ground his face falling into the mud. She walked closer to him watching as he got up but before he could get up all the way charged cards surrounded him. Rogue's eyes widened and she ran to get away from the blast, once it had passed she looked around for the person responsible. Gambit appeared behind her, she turned to look at him and glared.
"Ah didn't ask fohr help," she said with narrowed eyes and a cold tone. Remy started at her curiously seeing her cold transformation…it was hard to believe this was the same girl who had fallen asleep in his arms yesterday while watching a movie. She noticed the way he was looking at her and her eyes softened a bit giving him an answer for her behavior. She turned to face the rising Juggernaut as Jubilee, Berserker, Sunspot, and Magma reached him and start trying to find way of how to get the helmet off.
"Chere…y'don 'ave to do dis alone…" Remy whispered to her as he moved his hand to touch her shoulder. Rogue moved her shoulder at the contact. "Y'know dats pourquoi we're here…" Rogue looked around them and then looked at him, her eyes were no longer narrowed.
"Ah know…guess I'm still not used to working with a larger group," she mumbled while looking at Juggernaut trying to get his hands on one. "Do they know how tah stop him?" she asked Gambit.
"Oui…de helmet…"
"Good…" she said walking away from them.
"Where you going?" he shouted after her.
"Help them and get a telepath to get inta his head…" was the only answer she gave him as she passed a lot of people fighting. Her eyes scanning everyone and finding exactly what she had noticed before…Sinister was nowhere in sight.
OoOoOoOo Apocalypse OoOoOoOo
/Something has been taken from deep inside of me,
A secret I've kept locked away,
No one could never see,
Wounds so deep they never show,
They never go away,
Like moving pictures in my head,
For years and years they've played/
"This is going to be hard," Psylocke mumbled as Apocalypse approached them from the sky.
"Hard yes…but who say's challenges like these aren't fun…" X-23 responded while standing in front of Scarlet witch.
"X-23 could you move? You're blocking my view…" Wanda whined irritated.
"Really…sorry I hadn't noticed," Lexa answered sounding like it was new news to her but not moving. Apocalypse looked at them, a grim expression on his face. His hand rose and his fist pointed at them, before he could send a telepathic blast at them (what is that called? You know that thing he used on all the mutants in Dark horizon pt 2 that made everyone fall to the ground unconscious) he hand reached up to his head as if he was getting a slight headache. Betts turned to the side and smiled as Jean walked towards them with her eyes closed and the tips of her fingers on her forehead. She opened her eyes and looked at Apocalypse but spoke to them.
"Hey…I thought you could use another telepathic against this one…" she said her voice strained she still had a hold on the powerful mutant.
"Thanks…we can use all the help we can get with this one," Betts answered smiling at the redhead as Wanda and Lexa exchanged looks and rolled their eyes.
"Well…I'm gonna go now…" X-23 three stated making all of them look at her.
"Why?" Betts asked.
"Cause he's up there…and I'm down here…I need some action and I'm not getting that from him…" she answered looking around for someone to pound.
"Well I'm sure you loved to get some action…but Pietro's kinda busy right now…" Wanda commented looking at her twin who was fighting one on one with Ruckus, not far from them was John with Vertigo (Grrr…lol).
"That's not what I meant…but it's not a bad idea…"
"Uh guys…can you talk about that later we have something bigger on our hands at the moment," Betts said pointing her psychic knives at the mutant in the sky.
"I'm not gonna be much help so I'm leaving…" X-23 said and found exactly what she was looking for, Wanda watched where she was walking towards and wondered what it was she was going to do.
"Have fun…" she yelled to her.
"I'm planning to…and you…be careful," she answered over her shoulder.
"Funny…I was gonna say that too," Wanda mumbled to her self and watched as jean started getting weaker by the second. She looked at the stone bench next to her and it started glowing blue, without warning to the other telepaths it flew up and hit Apocalypse right on the head. Jean's hold on him broke and she turned to Scarlet Witch.
"Thanks…a little longer and he would have had a hold on me…"
"Whatever," Scarlet witch answered as all three put their fist in the air ready to attack Apocalypse who had quickly recovered.
OoOoOoOo Deathstrike OoOoOoOo
/If I could change I would,
Take back the pain I would,
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would,
If I could stand up and take the blame I would,
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would,
If I could change I would,
Take back the pain I would,
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would,
If I could stand up and take the blame I would,
I would take all the shame into the grave/
Yuriko had found herself shocked to see her old team members a live…and deep down inside of her a little relived, but that didn't mean she was planning to go easy on any of them that would confront her…she had already made her choice to stick by sinister till the end…anything to get back at Logan. Logan…wolverine…the person she was fighting at the moment.
"What's wrong wolverine…a woman too tough for you now?" she mocked him seeing that he hadn't hit her once but she had already scratched him three times with her Adamantium nails. Wolverine growled in response and blindly attacked to her, Deathstrike easily counter all his attacks. She was winning since a part of wolverine wasn't sure if he should attack her, she was part of his past…someone he had truly cared for, also he wasn't sure how the MoE would react to his hurting a former mentor. As he thought these things Yuriko found an advantage and was about to pierce his chest with her nails but…
'CLANG' metal met metal
Yuriko started at the young girl she had come close too in two years…someone she would have wanted as a daughter. X-23 who was now in the middle of Deathstrike and Wolverine looked up at her mentor, her eyes were full of anger and sorrow.
"Lexa why…" before she could finish the question X-23 threw her hands up making her claws and Deathstrike's nails away from each other, with a little battle yell she kicked Deathstrike in the gut making the older woman bend and walk a couple of paces back. Yuriko stood up straight after a couple of seconds.
"Why are you protecting him?" she asked a little shocked at the fact that the person who seemed to hate Logan to the mount she did if not more had just saved him.
"Because I've been learning the same lesson over and over again this week…guess I though I might try listening to it…especially since you and Sinister were the first ones to do it…"
"And what lesson might that be?" Deathstrike asked ready to attack.
"That sometimes…you just gotta let go…" with that the both jumped at another throwing punches at each other, their metal claws barley missing each other by millimeters. After a while of getting nowhere but some scratches on their clothes, much to X-23 dismay since she worked hard on her outfit, she just thanked herself for not wearing her black leather trench coat anyway Deathstrike spoke.
"Do you really think you'll be able to beat me…I taught you everything you know," she commented as she kicked the back of X-23's knees having her fall on to her knees. Yuriko stared at the kneeling girl a smirk appearing on her face. Logan was about to help when he heard X-23's voice as she spoke and looked at him.
"That may be true…but for the past week…I've had a new teacher…" a second after she said this her leg went straight up hitting the shocked Asian in her eye and cheek. X-23 popped up and looked at her ex mentor…she regretted not having her foot claw out but as soon as Deathstrike regained her composure they went at it again. Finally getting the advantage Lexa grabbed Yuriko and slammed her into the X-mansion wall since they were near the building. She pinned the older woman and put her fist in the crook oh her neck. She looked at Yuriko who had a little blood coming out of her mouth, she was about to unleash her claws into her skin…but could…she just couldn't do it.
Instead she put her hands on the wall above Deathstrike's shoulders and pushed it making her body go backwards. Yuriko watched and thinking Lexa wasn't going to do anything started moving around. Unfortunately she though wrong, X-23's foot came up and hit her ex mentor right in the crook of her neck. Deathstrike fell to the ground and had enough strength to look at as Lexa moved away from her.
"She's all your…" she told Logan who stared at her in shock and still had a mix feelings as to actually hurting Yuriko. Lexa noticed his hesitations.
"You said it yourself…'You shouldn't dwell in the past'…" she started walking away, as she did she looked at Yuriko who was staring back at her. With a little shake of her head of disapproval for what she (Yuriko) had done and with one last glance she turned around leaving Deathstrike to look after her letting everything she had given up for her revenge sink in making her feel guilt…but as she had said before…she had already made her choice…so she got started getting up preparing herself for the worst against wolverine.
OoOoOoOo Inner Circle, Omega Red, & Rogue OoOoOoOo
/It's easier to run,
Replacing this pain with something numb,
It's so much easier to go,
Then face all this pain here all alone/
(Ahhh don't wanna go into detail with these)
"Well Well Well…I really wouldn't have pegged you as one of the one's to go and try to be good all of a sudden…I have to say I'm highly disappointed…I'm sure Sebastian will be too," The black queen remarked to white queen.
"I could give a damn what Sebastian thinks about my decision…as for you…I'm shocked you didn't see this coming …I thought you knew me better than anyone else…"
"I thought I did too…but I guess I was wrong…and now you'll pay for deceiving me…"
"Poor naive Selene…there was a reason I was leader of the inner Circe…" White Queen Snarled and attacked the person she had considered one of her best friends. Next to them Red Queen and Mastermind we're also fighting.
Rogue who was still looking for Sinister looked at them and watched as both inner circle sorceresses fell down unconscious. Emma's hand was on Selene's brow as she slowly fell to the ground. Mastermind on the other hand was confusing the heck out of Maragali, one minute she thought she was a little schoolgirl the next she was an undercover detective looking for a missing child. After more confusion she fainted and was knocked out. She looked at Emma to make sure she was ok since she still wasn't at 100; she saw that she was fine so she continued her search.
She passed her 'mother' and Sabertooth who at the moment were taking turns beating fighting with Omega red. Watching them made her think that they were in a circus. A big furry cat like man, a blue woman ship shaping into whatever she wanted and a cybernetic Russian mutant. She watched as Mystique turned into a Raven and started pecking at him, he was about to use his Death aura but was stopped by Sabertooth throwing the big fountain on him. Not looking at what was happening Omega got hit by the fountain and hard.
Rogue started away from them and looked all around, destruction everywhere yet no Sinister in sight.
"Where the hell are yah?" she asked herself quietly and that's when her eyes went up to Prof. X office…Xavier was suppose to be alone…but she saw a shadow through and it wasn't a bald short one.
"SHIT!" Rogue yelled and ran inside as fast a she could. When she got there she tried opening the locked door, finally getting tired of trying the knob she crushed her shoulder into the door-making break. She walked din and saw Sinister by the window as he was reciting something, Prof. Xavier was on the floor trying to reach his chair, and he looked up at Rogue.
"We're to late."
Rogue looked back to sinister and started running towards him, but she was already too late. As she was about to reach him a blinding light came from his hand and threw her towards the wall, it then went out the window and hit the floor right in front of the entrance door. The light hit the ground and then went up to the sky.
Rogue looked at the laughing Sinister in front of the window, she slowly started getting up and when she was up she went and help Prof. X.
"It's to late now…she will rise…" saying this he looked out the window at the blinding light.
OoOoOoOo Nasty Boys & Vertigo OoOoOoOo
/Sometimes I remember,
The darkness of my past,
Bringing back these memories,
I wish I didn't have,
Sometimes I think of letting go,
And never looking back,
And never moving forward so,
There would never be a past/
Lexa walked towards Apocalypse to go back to the duty Rogue had bestowed on her…'Take Care of Wanda'. But when she got close enough to the people fighting him she noticed that Emma had now joined Betts and Jean as did Mastermind. Wanda was nowhere in sight. Her eyes turned all around her. Her eyes landed on Sunspot who had just caught Magma from a pretty nasty looking fall after Juggernaut threw a punch at her right in the face. Berserker and Jubilee had managed to get three of the locks of Cane's helmet off and gambit was getting the last as the younger mutants distracted the big boy.
She turned away from them and found Mesmro getting the tar beaten out of him by Cannonball, Boom boom, Wolfsbane and Iceman, she kept roaming around trying to find what she was looking for. Finally after surveying most of the yard she found Wanda with Pyro and Quicksilver. The trio was fighting against Gorgeous George, Ruckus, and Ramond. See started walking towards them and got briefly distracted as she saw Cyclops and Nightcrawler, and Beast have trouble taking Slab and Hairbag, the though about helping them crossed her mind but she soon saw Magneto join so she shrugged the thought off and kept walking. As she passed them she though it was a bit funny that two of the Nasty Boys were being so hard to bring down by the 'fearless leader' of the X-men. She rolled her eyes at the 'fearless leader' thought and looked up at Scarlet Witch and just in time.
Vertigo who had run of as fast as she could when Scarlet Witch had approached her was now watching her fight against Gorgeous George and watched as Wanda hexed him away from her and towards Lance and Kitty. Gorgeous George looked at Shadowcat and was about to wrap his tar like body around but as soon as he got close enough the Earth started to rumble and the ground Kitty was standing on went up into the sky causing Gorgeous George to wrap himself around the ground that was in the way. He turned into his regular appearance and glared at Avalanche. As he was about the earth shaker he felt himself being pulled down on to the ground and looked down to look at Shadowcat dragging his feet into the drag so he wouldn't be able to move. Kitty finished and moved out of the way as Lance smiled at her and started bringing the ground he had brought up early down so it could fall onto the purple mutant.
"TIMBER!" Shadowcat yelled out so everyone near could hear and then ran into Avalanche's arms and giggled a bit.
Lexa shook her head at them, 'So carefree even though our lives are in great danger…so happy…maybe one day that could be us…maybe…' she thought to herself and looked back to Vertigo to find that she had a circular looking weapon that had sharp blades all around it. That wasn't what was really worrying her…what was was the fact that she was pointing it straight at Wanda's back. Without any warning to the Scarlet Witch the little scheming bitch threw the circular spiked blade at Wanda.
Wanda was standing with her hands on her hips watching her baby's daddy and her twin brother team up to take on Ruckus and Ramond who at the moment was using the wooden stick he always carried around as a sharp pointed blade. Pietro started running circles around them as john tried lighting the mini tornado Pietro was creating with his flamethrower. Wanda couldn't help but give a small smile as her boyfriend and brother worked together.
'Maybe…Pietro can be forgiven…' she though and as the thought finished he heard a weird sound behind her. She turned around to find a blade right in her face, her eyes widened at how close it was to her. Next to it was X-23 extremely pissed off as a couple of blood drops fell from her since she had caught the blade with her right hands middle and index finger.
"MOVE…" she commanded in a cold voice to Wanda who took two steps back. X-23 pulled her hand towards Wanda but then swung it back towards Vertigo, both watched as the circular blade landed right in the blondes throat causing the skin to slit.
"You are so lucky I love you and Rogue would have kicked my ass if I didn't pay attention to directions…" Lexa said glaring at Wanda.
"I…I…"
"Yeah yeah yeah…you ok?" Lexa asked a bit more caringly.
"A little creped out that I almost died but other than that…fine…" she was going to say more but was interrupted by John's screams of agony. She turned to find that things had been turned around as John was now pinned to a tree with Ramond stabbing Pyro's arm with his stick and Pietro had been tripped by Ruckus. Wanda's eyes narrowed as she watched Ramond and she found herself walking towards him her hands glowing dangerously blue. Lexa watched Wanda walk away fro her…she would have been pissed but wasn't since Scarlet Witch's temper was coming out and with a baby in her stomach that was the last thing she wanted to face. As the fact that she was going to help the one she loved stopped her from getting pissed as she looked at Pietro who somehow had gotten up and was holding Ruckus's throat stopping the mutant from using his mutation. She turned away from her speed demon lover and turned to look at Vertigo with narrowed eyes as soon as she noticed the bitch wasn't dead yet.
Vertigo was on her knees, blood pouring out of her slit throat and out of her mouth. From the little gasps she was making you could tell she was having a hard time breathing. X-23 slowly walked towards her, as her footsteps got closer Vertigo was able to hear them and her eyes become wide in fear.
"Hm…I'm not really shocked to find you in this position," Lexa commented as she looked down at the blonde. "After all…the boys brag about how good you are in it," she added and crouched down to be at eye level with her. Vertigo coughed and looked around her, maybe in hope that someone would save her or that all these was a bad nightmare. Since she couldn't talk X-23 decided to do all the talking.
"You know…just because we're fighting on the good side…doesn't make us good…" she said dragging her hand on top of the blond hair and then slowly dragging it down on to Vertigo's face.
"We joined with the X-men just so we could have the pleasure of doing this to you…all of you…" after she finished saying this her hand reached Vertigo's chin and turned into a fist, it slowly rose back up her face and stopped when her fist was covering Vertigo's nostrils making it harder for her to breath. "I'll see you…in hell…" and without being able to do anything Vertigo watched and felt as X-23's claws unleashed and went into her eyes straight up piercing her brain and having the claws break though her skull. After a minute Lexa let her claws back in and watched at Vertigo's stiff body fell backwards and landed with a thud on the ground.
"Hm…you'd think that after a week with these X-geeks I would have learned the meaning of the word Mercy…" she mused out loud to herself.
"Do you want me to tell you what it means?" a voice spoke up behind her making her turn.
"No…if you tell me it might stop my fun of being the evil bitch I like to be…" she answered Pietro's question and looked behind him to see what had become of Ruckus and Ramond. She found Wanda looking at John's arm to make sure I wasn't badly injured, in a tree nearby Ruckus body was stuck in it, Ramond was on the floor with broken bones.
"How did that happen?" she asked Pietro as he snaked his arms around her waits.
"No one should get in Wanda's way when she's mad…"
"I guess we forgot to show Sinister how bad our tempers are and what we can do when they came out…" Lexa remarked with an evil little smirk.
"I'm starting to think you're to evil for me to handle…" Quicksilver mumbled as he gave her neck a couple of good kisses.
"Evil like us can't be controlled…Sinister has just learned that the hard way…" she replied as he looked around to find that the baddies were being defeated, many of the good guys were hurt of course but that was expected.
"Well at least it seems to be over," John interrupted their conversation as Wanda and himself walked closer to them.
"Yeah…" Lexa answered with a small smile. Wanda didn't say anything as she looked around, something was wrong.
"Lexa…where's Rogue?" she asked looking at the midnight haired mutant. Lexa eyes widened at the fact the MoE's leader was missing. As in on cue seconds after the question was asked and silence filled the air a bright light escaped from Xavier's study and went down straight to the ground near them. Everyone that was fighting elsewhere turned to look at what was happening as the four mutants walked backwards since the light was blinding them.
As they all stared on the started to see a figure rise…blue eyes peered out at them, an evil glint in them. They all gasped as they saw she was bold and looked a lot like Xavier…this was her…his twin.
Cassandra Nova had risen…
OoOoOoOo Rogue OoOoOoOo
/If I could change I would,
Take back the pain I would,
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would,
If I could,
Stand up and take the blame I would,
If I could take all the shame into the grave I would,
If I could change I would,
Take back the pain I would,
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would,
If I could stand up and take the blame I would,
I would take all the shame into the grave/
Rogue stared at the Sinister as his hysterical laugh continued. Finally get fed up with it she approached him and since he was to bust laughing he didn't notice her coming towards him. Without hesitation she threw him out the window and watched him fall only to get caught by Gorgeous George's hand which was coming out of the ground…at least that's what it looked like to her. Rogue then watched the blindly light and looked around the grounds to see that all the X-men, Acolytes and BoM members had abounded the people they were fighting against and had gone forth towards a bald lady.
"Cassandra Nova…" Rogue whispered guessing that this was the evil they had failed to keep locked up. She turned to face Xavier.
"What now?"
"We must fight her and try to lock her back through the light before the fifteen minutes are up…if it's not done by then…"
"A sacrifice must be made…or we all die…" Rogue finished for him as he sadly nodded. She started walking towards the door she broke.
"You stay here and try to help through the window…the rest of us will do what we can..." and with that she walked out the door having Xavier look at her with sad eyes…for he had read what was in her mind.
OoOoOoOo Cassandra Nova OoOoOoOo
/Just washing it aside,
All of the helplessness inside
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
It's so much simpler than change!!!!!/
Everyone was giving Cassandra Nova what they had but to no avail since it hardy put a scratch on her. Sinister's group took this distraction to get up and start making their escape seeing as they weren't being noticed anymore. They all walked toward the X-men gates, which were now completely destroyed thanks to all the people that had crushed into them. They stood and waited…either to have their plans fulfilled…or to await their defeat.
Rogue run out of the mansions front doors to meet with the blinding light, she carefully made her way around to rejoin the other mutants who were giving Cassandra Nova their all. She run and stood next to Gambit as he threw a couple of charged cards to the bald mutants feet. Rogue started to explain to those near her that they had to get Cassandra back into the light to entrap her. While she was saying this Pyro was distracting Xavier's twin by surrounding her with a wall of fire with his good hand and far away out of hearing range were the telepaths making a plan to get rid of the evil telepathic being.
"I think they only really way to get rid of her would be through the mind…" White Queen said starring t her.
"That's probably true luv but don't we need a very powerful telepath for that?" Psylocke asked.
"Yes that would mean…Xavier…"
"NO…I will not afford to have the Professor get put in danger…" Jean said furiously.
"Well we have to…it's either that or bye bye human race!" White Queen yelled at the young redhead.
"Well…we're all powerful…why not just combine our powers? Wouldn't that be just as good as the Prof?" Jean said trying to find an alternate then to risk the life of the person who was like her father. By this time Betts was looking at Cassandra Nova no longer paying attention the older telepaths. She looked over and noticed Rogue had joined the action, she also noticed that the reason everyone's attacks weren't working might have been cause they were so far away from their target.
'They'll never reach her like that…Well if this is my last day being an MoE member…might as well got out with a bang…" Betts though to herself and without anyone noticing walked behind their enemy.
"What the hell is wrong with all if you shooting at her from all the way over here? Ah don't tell me you're all scared?" Wanda yelled at everyone and started moving forward to give Cassandra Nova a taste of what her evil self could do. Before she could take more than one step a hand grabbed her wrist, Wanda turned to glare at the person who had grabbed her thinking it was John on to find Rogue's hand. Her emerald eyes were set on Cassandra Nova.
"No…Xavier didn't explain what was so dangerous about her that he had to lock her way…and if someone's going to be risked you're the last person on the list…" Wanda looked at Rogue and saw how her eyes were misty…she had gotten the hidden message no one but those that knew Rogue well could understand. Wanda was going to comment something but stopped as Rogue eyes widened.
"Elisabeth NO!" but it was already too late. The purpled haired Goth had her psychic knives aimed at Cassandra Nova who was standing less then five feet from her. Betts shot them at her but they had no effect on her, Cassandra Nova smiled evilly at Psylocke and Betsy stared feeling weak and dizzy. Before she knew what was happening her mind was trapped and her body was no longer hers to control.
Rogue and the other watched at Elisabeth turned to them as Cassandra Nova's body suddenly became like a dead body, her eyes showing more evil then she had ever had before.
"I…think we just found out what makes her so damn dangerous…" X-23 mumbled as Psylocke's body slowly moved towards them in a dangerous fashion. Without warning Cassandra Nova using Betts body starred attacking them. Many got hit with Psylocke's psychic knives others dodged them just in time.
"Rogue…what the hell are we suppose to do know?" X-23 yelled to her as she took cover behind a tree to avoid the knives.
"Yeah…do we try throwing Betts into the light? Or Cassandra's limp body?" Scarlet Witch asked as Pyro brought a fire skull up to cover them.
"Ah dunno…um ah gonna guess with Cassandra's mind…" Rogue yelled back as she dodged the knives and went forward towards Betts body. When she got close enough and started talking to her, trying to Betts to fight Cassandra Nova in her head she started fighting her which was bad since Psylocke was well known for her fighting skills. Rogue blocked all the hits and started walking backwards…she didn't want to attack because after all Betts was her friend and even though this was Cassandra Nova she was using her friends body. At one point during there hand-to-hand combat Cassandra found an advantage and hit Rogue made her fly a couple feet away. Everyone else tried fighting her as well but with her ninja skills and telepathic abilities, the controlled Psylocke was pretty unbeatable…especially since no one really wanted to hurt her.
Rogue slowly got up and looked on as others were defeated easier than she had, she then looked down at the watch on her wrist and her eyes widened…thirteen minutes had passes meaning…only two minutes left. They either finished this now…or the end of the world would start in less than an hour. With a last glance around her she started making her way into the mansion, making sure no one had seen her.
Wanda stood in front of Betts possessed body, her hand s glowing blue as Psylocke prepared to throw psychic knives at her. She had to hex her Wanda told herself…it was either Betts or herself. At the last minute she couldn't do it and Scarlet Witch watched as the psychic knives flew her way. X-23 got to Wanda before the knives did and seconds later she was kneeling before Wanda's feet in pain.
"Lexa…" Wanda yelled slowly bending to the youngest member of the MoE.
"I'm okay…OUCH why the hell didn't Betts ever tell us how much that shit hurts…" Wanda ignored the whine and got up her hand s once again glowing blue, it went up and pointed at Psylocke…this wasn't the girl she knew…Betts wouldn't have done that to Lexa…she was an imposter and this time…she would attack. Before she could attack and hand rested on her shoulder distracting her, she turned to see Angel looking at Betts. Getting the hint her hand fell to her side and she watched him walk towards her. When he was far away she turned to X-23 who was now leaning on Pietro so she'd be able to stand. Her eyes narrowed.
"This has got to end…and it's going to end now…" Mumbling that to her self the Scarlet Witch disappeared from sight.
OoOoOoOo Anlocke OoOoOoOo
/It's easier to run!
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Then face all this pain here all alone......…/
"Betts…" Warren said her name softly as he approached his possessed girlfriend. Cassandra Nova's eyes narrowed as he got closer and brought her hand up to point psychic knives at the masked covered men.
"Betts you can fight her and win…I know you can…you just got to try…"
"Sorry Elisabeth Braddock isn't here right now…please leave a message after you're dead," Cassandra mocked in Betts voice and got ready to unleash the knives on him. Angel's eyes narrowed and he pulled of his mask to show h is face to her.
"Are you really going to do it Elisabeth…if you are do it now!"
Cassandra Nova got ready to shoot them at him but before she was going to she dropped to her knees and looked up Warren. Her eyes were no longer narrowed Betts had gained control.
"Warren…you have to…get away from me…before…it's too…" she stopped and her head looked down at the ground.
"I'm going to presume she was going to say 'too…late'…" Psylocke's voiced spoke up as she started getting up…her eyes cold again.
"Let her go…" Angel threatened less then five feet away from the possessed body.
"I don't think so…but I do think we have unresolved issues…LUV," she answered and psychic knives appeared right in front of Warren. Before he could move or do anything to stop her they headed straight for him and hit him right on his chest. Warren fell to the ground and his mind started getting surrounded by darkness.
OoOoOoOo Meanwhile OoOoOoOo
Emma and Jean looked over to Rogue as she yelled at Elisabeth but it was too late for them to talk to the telepath with their powers…she had been taken.
"This is not good…" Emma stated and ran towards the rest of the team determined to do something about her apprentice getting her mind back. Jean was about to join her but stopped and looked inside the mansion…she was hearing someone's thoughts and they weren't the best in the world…if the person went through with it many people would be heartbroken.
'Gambit…' Jean called to Remy telepathically and he turned to face her, as he was bout to throw a charged card at Psylocke. Jean looked up at the roof…
'It's Rogue…' she said in a voice that told Gambit what was happening. He easily got onto the tree he was nearby and made his way towards the roof.
OoOoOoOo The Roof OoOoOoOo
/It's easier to run!!/
Rogue opened the door and walked onto the roof. She then walked towards the front of the mansion towards the bright light.
'If anyone had told meh ah was gonna be doing this ah woulda broken their jaws' Rogue thought to herself as she got nearer and nearer. She reached the rail and slowly flew up into the air so her feet could rest on it, she sighed and got closer towards the edge.
"Don't do it…"
Rogue didn't turn around to stare at him.
"Ah should have know yah would be here…how did yah know?"
/If I could change I would/
"Your thoughts are so loud y'ain't letting some telepaths think chere…"
"Ain't that a shame…"
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why are you doing this…is it some kind of trying to make up for all de things you've done?"
"No…ah know ah haven't been a great person and ah don't have a problem wit that…"
"Then porquoi?"
"Cause in one minute… it's either one of us or all of us…"
/Take back the pain I would/
"Den I'll go…"
"NO! Ah'm the one that's gonna go…"
"Y'said that I was the hero…so let Remy be the damn hero…"
"If it means yah dying…ah won't let it happen."
"And what…y'just expect me to watch you do this!"
"Yea…" Rogue answered and got ready to jump into the light but arms grabbed her around the waist.
"Remy…yah have tah let meh go…" Rogue whispered still not facing him, not wanting to let him see the tears that had formed in her eyes…leaving him was harder then she had though and he wasn't making it easier.
/Retrace every wrong move that I made/
"You aren't a hero Rogue…et Y'don have to be…"
"You're being selfish…there are things ah have to do this fohr…"
"Like?" Remy answered refusing to let her go.
"Fohr Wanda and the baby…fohr my teammates…fohr the world…et toi," Rogue answered and using her super strength took his grab on hold off.
"Je t'amie…" Rogue slowly turned around facing Remy, she walked of the rail and towards him looking deep into his eyes.
/It's easier to go!!/
"Ah love yah too…" she whispered and she got on her tiptoes to meet his lips. She quickly broke this kiss, "And that's why ah gotta do this…" she captured his lips again draining his energy. Remy fell unconscious and Rogue gently placed him on the ground…she wiped the tear from her eyes as she looked at him and started doing backward flips until she ended up on the rail.
"Here's goes nothing…" she mumbled to herself and did a flip into the light, as the light touched her and she started to fall down to the ground hard Cassandra Nova's screams could be heard as she started going into her own body, and then into the lights abyss.
OoOoOoOo The ground OoOoOoOo
/If I could change I would,
Take back the pain I would,
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would,
If I could,
Stand up and take the blame I would,
I would take all the shame/
Everyone covered their eyes as the light went all over the place blinding them, when they reopened them the light was gone and everything was quiet. Everyone looked around to see where Cassandra had gone but she was gone. Psylocke was on her knees, she looked up confusedly but stopped at what she saw and she stood shock at what was in front of her.
X-23 dropped to her knees next to Rogue's lifeless body, her eyes starting to burn because of the tears threatening to come out. Wanda was standing at Rogue's feet staring at her best-friend expressionless, John went and stood next to her getting ready to comfort her when she would have the break down.
The X-men stood quiet looking down at the pale beauty, there was no scratches on her, it just seemed like she was sleeping but what other explanation could there have been for Cassandra's disappearance other than a sacrifice.
Sinister and the rest of his group also stared at the sight, Deathstrike fell to her knees…one of the girls she helped train…the toughest of them all was…gone.
Sinister was shocked…Cassandra Nova had been locked in her hell dimension once again…his team was now officially defeated…and Rogue…one of the girls he though he had made the evilest had given her life for…the greater good.
Jean looked up at the roof to see Gambit woozily get up with help from the rail as he leaned on it. He looked down at the ground to see his chere on the ground, his eyes showing heartbreak…he wasn't able to stop her.
Everything was quiet…
/To the grave!/

OoOoOoOo Chapter 16 OoOoOoOo
/It's easier to run,
Replacing this pain with something numb,
It's so much easier to go,
Then face all this pain here all alone/
As soon as the mouthed words came out of her mouth, the chaos stared. Everyone ran towards each other and within seconds people were paired up to fight the toughest people while others were fought the less strong mutants like the nasty boys individually.
Rogue went straight for Sinister but to her dismay got hit by juggernaut before she could reach her old leader. Juggernaut ran his big fist on her back as she flew by him making Rogue hit the ground so hard her body made a hole outlined like her body. She slowly got up eyes narrowed as Juggernaut tried hitting her the same way again. Before it could make contact with her she grabbed on to it brought him over her then bringing him down slamming him into the floor. She knew this wouldn't bring him to much pain since the only true way to beat Cane was through his brain, but it didn't mean she wasn't going to try to see if beating the shit out of him did the trick. She grabbed him around the waist and got ready to punch him hard but didn't see his foot come up and hit her straight in the gut. Rogue made a little moan indicating pain and crashed right into the tree behind her. Juggernaut slowly walked towards her knowing that she wasn't really hurt…after all she was the invulnerable one. As he got closer a slim leg went up to kick him but he grabbed a hold of it and through her leg causing her whole body to move with it to the side. He threw her around hoping that that would do her harm but as she was in the air she stopped herself from being thrown too far and flew back to him, his back was towards him since he though he had finished her off and he was walking towards Scarlet Witch, Psylocke, and X-23 who were occupied with apocalypse.
"Sorrah Suguh but we ain't done here…" she yelled as her leg made contact with his back and he fell to the ground his face falling into the mud. She walked closer to him watching as he got up but before he could get up all the way charged cards surrounded him. Rogue's eyes widened and she ran to get away from the blast, once it had passed she looked around for the person responsible. Gambit appeared behind her, she turned to look at him and glared.
"Ah didn't ask fohr help," she said with narrowed eyes and a cold tone. Remy started at her curiously seeing her cold transformation…it was hard to believe this was the same girl who had fallen asleep in his arms yesterday while watching a movie. She noticed the way he was looking at her and her eyes softened a bit giving him an answer for her behavior. She turned to face the rising Juggernaut as Jubilee, Berserker, Sunspot, and Magma reached him and start trying to find way of how to get the helmet off.
"Chere…y'don 'ave to do dis alone…" Remy whispered to her as he moved his hand to touch her shoulder. Rogue moved her shoulder at the contact. "Y'know dats pourquoi we're here…" Rogue looked around them and then looked at him, her eyes were no longer narrowed.
"Ah know…guess I'm still not used to working with a larger group," she mumbled while looking at Juggernaut trying to get his hands on one. "Do they know how tah stop him?" she asked Gambit.
"Oui…de helmet…"
"Good…" she said walking away from them.
"Where you going?" he shouted after her.
"Help them and get a telepath to get inta his head…" was the only answer she gave him as she passed a lot of people fighting. Her eyes scanning everyone and finding exactly what she had noticed before…Sinister was nowhere in sight.
OoOoOoOo Apocalypse OoOoOoOo
/Something has been taken from deep inside of me,
A secret I've kept locked away,
No one could never see,
Wounds so deep they never show,
They never go away,
Like moving pictures in my head,
For years and years they've played/
"This is going to be hard," Psylocke mumbled as Apocalypse approached them from the sky.
"Hard yes…but who say's challenges like these aren't fun…" X-23 responded while standing in front of Scarlet witch.
"X-23 could you move? You're blocking my view…" Wanda whined irritated.
"Really…sorry I hadn't noticed," Lexa answered sounding like it was new news to her but not moving. Apocalypse looked at them, a grim expression on his face. His hand rose and his fist pointed at them, before he could send a telepathic blast at them (what is that called? You know that thing he used on all the mutants in Dark horizon pt 2 that made everyone fall to the ground unconscious) he hand reached up to his head as if he was getting a slight headache. Betts turned to the side and smiled as Jean walked towards them with her eyes closed and the tips of her fingers on her forehead. She opened her eyes and looked at Apocalypse but spoke to them.
"Hey…I thought you could use another telepathic against this one…" she said her voice strained she still had a hold on the powerful mutant.
"Thanks…we can use all the help we can get with this one," Betts answered smiling at the redhead as Wanda and Lexa exchanged looks and rolled their eyes.
"Well…I'm gonna go now…" X-23 three stated making all of them look at her.
"Why?" Betts asked.
"Cause he's up there…and I'm down here…I need some action and I'm not getting that from him…" she answered looking around for someone to pound.
"Well I'm sure you loved to get some action…but Pietro's kinda busy right now…" Wanda commented looking at her twin who was fighting one on one with Ruckus, not far from them was John with Vertigo (Grrr…lol).
"That's not what I meant…but it's not a bad idea…"
"Uh guys…can you talk about that later we have something bigger on our hands at the moment," Betts said pointing her psychic knives at the mutant in the sky.
"I'm not gonna be much help so I'm leaving…" X-23 said and found exactly what she was looking for, Wanda watched where she was walking towards and wondered what it was she was going to do.
"Have fun…" she yelled to her.
"I'm planning to…and you…be careful," she answered over her shoulder.
"Funny…I was gonna say that too," Wanda mumbled to her self and watched as jean started getting weaker by the second. She looked at the stone bench next to her and it started glowing blue, without warning to the other telepaths it flew up and hit Apocalypse right on the head. Jean's hold on him broke and she turned to Scarlet Witch.
"Thanks…a little longer and he would have had a hold on me…"
"Whatever," Scarlet witch answered as all three put their fist in the air ready to attack Apocalypse who had quickly recovered.
OoOoOoOo Deathstrike OoOoOoOo
/If I could change I would,
Take back the pain I would,
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would,
If I could stand up and take the blame I would,
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would,
If I could change I would,
Take back the pain I would,
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would,
If I could stand up and take the blame I would,
I would take all the shame into the grave/
Yuriko had found herself shocked to see her old team members a live…and deep down inside of her a little relived, but that didn't mean she was planning to go easy on any of them that would confront her…she had already made her choice to stick by sinister till the end…anything to get back at Logan. Logan…wolverine…the person she was fighting at the moment.
"What's wrong wolverine…a woman too tough for you now?" she mocked him seeing that he hadn't hit her once but she had already scratched him three times with her Adamantium nails. Wolverine growled in response and blindly attacked to her, Deathstrike easily counter all his attacks. She was winning since a part of wolverine wasn't sure if he should attack her, she was part of his past…someone he had truly cared for, also he wasn't sure how the MoE would react to his hurting a former mentor. As he thought these things Yuriko found an advantage and was about to pierce his chest with her nails but…
'CLANG' metal met metal
Yuriko started at the young girl she had come close too in two years…someone she would have wanted as a daughter. X-23 who was now in the middle of Deathstrike and Wolverine looked up at her mentor, her eyes were full of anger and sorrow.
"Lexa why…" before she could finish the question X-23 threw her hands up making her claws and Deathstrike's nails away from each other, with a little battle yell she kicked Deathstrike in the gut making the older woman bend and walk a couple of paces back. Yuriko stood up straight after a couple of seconds.
"Why are you protecting him?" she asked a little shocked at the fact that the person who seemed to hate Logan to the mount she did if not more had just saved him.
"Because I've been learning the same lesson over and over again this week…guess I though I might try listening to it…especially since you and Sinister were the first ones to do it…"
"And what lesson might that be?" Deathstrike asked ready to attack.
"That sometimes…you just gotta let go…" with that the both jumped at another throwing punches at each other, their metal claws barley missing each other by millimeters. After a while of getting nowhere but some scratches on their clothes, much to X-23 dismay since she worked hard on her outfit, she just thanked herself for not wearing her black leather trench coat anyway Deathstrike spoke.
"Do you really think you'll be able to beat me…I taught you everything you know," she commented as she kicked the back of X-23's knees having her fall on to her knees. Yuriko stared at the kneeling girl a smirk appearing on her face. Logan was about to help when he heard X-23's voice as she spoke and looked at him.
"That may be true…but for the past week…I've had a new teacher…" a second after she said this her leg went straight up hitting the shocked Asian in her eye and cheek. X-23 popped up and looked at her ex mentor…she regretted not having her foot claw out but as soon as Deathstrike regained her composure they went at it again. Finally getting the advantage Lexa grabbed Yuriko and slammed her into the X-mansion wall since they were near the building. She pinned the older woman and put her fist in the crook oh her neck. She looked at Yuriko who had a little blood coming out of her mouth, she was about to unleash her claws into her skin…but could…she just couldn't do it.
Instead she put her hands on the wall above Deathstrike's shoulders and pushed it making her body go backwards. Yuriko watched and thinking Lexa wasn't going to do anything started moving around. Unfortunately she though wrong, X-23's foot came up and hit her ex mentor right in the crook of her neck. Deathstrike fell to the ground and had enough strength to look at as Lexa moved away from her.
"She's all your…" she told Logan who stared at her in shock and still had a mix feelings as to actually hurting Yuriko. Lexa noticed his hesitations.
"You said it yourself…'You shouldn't dwell in the past'…" she started walking away, as she did she looked at Yuriko who was staring back at her. With a little shake of her head of disapproval for what she (Yuriko) had done and with one last glance she turned around leaving Deathstrike to look after her letting everything she had given up for her revenge sink in making her feel guilt…but as she had said before…she had already made her choice…so she got started getting up preparing herself for the worst against wolverine.
OoOoOoOo Inner Circle, Omega Red, & Rogue OoOoOoOo
/It's easier to run,
Replacing this pain with something numb,
It's so much easier to go,
Then face all this pain here all alone/
(Ahhh don't wanna go into detail with these)
"Well Well Well…I really wouldn't have pegged you as one of the one's to go and try to be good all of a sudden…I have to say I'm highly disappointed…I'm sure Sebastian will be too," The black queen remarked to white queen.
"I could give a damn what Sebastian thinks about my decision…as for you…I'm shocked you didn't see this coming …I thought you knew me better than anyone else…"
"I thought I did too…but I guess I was wrong…and now you'll pay for deceiving me…"
"Poor naive Selene…there was a reason I was leader of the inner Circe…" White Queen Snarled and attacked the person she had considered one of her best friends. Next to them Red Queen and Mastermind we're also fighting.
Rogue who was still looking for Sinister looked at them and watched as both inner circle sorceresses fell down unconscious. Emma's hand was on Selene's brow as she slowly fell to the ground. Mastermind on the other hand was confusing the heck out of Maragali, one minute she thought she was a little schoolgirl the next she was an undercover detective looking for a missing child. After more confusion she fainted and was knocked out. She looked at Emma to make sure she was ok since she still wasn't at 100; she saw that she was fine so she continued her search.
She passed her 'mother' and Sabertooth who at the moment were taking turns beating fighting with Omega red. Watching them made her think that they were in a circus. A big furry cat like man, a blue woman ship shaping into whatever she wanted and a cybernetic Russian mutant. She watched as Mystique turned into a Raven and started pecking at him, he was about to use his Death aura but was stopped by Sabertooth throwing the big fountain on him. Not looking at what was happening Omega got hit by the fountain and hard.
Rogue started away from them and looked all around, destruction everywhere yet no Sinister in sight.
"Where the hell are yah?" she asked herself quietly and that's when her eyes went up to Prof. X office…Xavier was suppose to be alone…but she saw a shadow through and it wasn't a bald short one.
"SHIT!" Rogue yelled and ran inside as fast a she could. When she got there she tried opening the locked door, finally getting tired of trying the knob she crushed her shoulder into the door-making break. She walked din and saw Sinister by the window as he was reciting something, Prof. Xavier was on the floor trying to reach his chair, and he looked up at Rogue.
"We're to late."
Rogue looked back to sinister and started running towards him, but she was already too late. As she was about to reach him a blinding light came from his hand and threw her towards the wall, it then went out the window and hit the floor right in front of the entrance door. The light hit the ground and then went up to the sky.
Rogue looked at the laughing Sinister in front of the window, she slowly started getting up and when she was up she went and help Prof. X.
"It's to late now…she will rise…" saying this he looked out the window at the blinding light.
OoOoOoOo Nasty Boys & Vertigo OoOoOoOo
/Sometimes I remember,
The darkness of my past,
Bringing back these memories,
I wish I didn't have,
Sometimes I think of letting go,
And never looking back,
And never moving forward so,
There would never be a past/
Lexa walked towards Apocalypse to go back to the duty Rogue had bestowed on her…'Take Care of Wanda'. But when she got close enough to the people fighting him she noticed that Emma had now joined Betts and Jean as did Mastermind. Wanda was nowhere in sight. Her eyes turned all around her. Her eyes landed on Sunspot who had just caught Magma from a pretty nasty looking fall after Juggernaut threw a punch at her right in the face. Berserker and Jubilee had managed to get three of the locks of Cane's helmet off and gambit was getting the last as the younger mutants distracted the big boy.
She turned away from them and found Mesmro getting the tar beaten out of him by Cannonball, Boom boom, Wolfsbane and Iceman, she kept roaming around trying to find what she was looking for. Finally after surveying most of the yard she found Wanda with Pyro and Quicksilver. The trio was fighting against Gorgeous George, Ruckus, and Ramond. See started walking towards them and got briefly distracted as she saw Cyclops and Nightcrawler, and Beast have trouble taking Slab and Hairbag, the though about helping them crossed her mind but she soon saw Magneto join so she shrugged the thought off and kept walking. As she passed them she though it was a bit funny that two of the Nasty Boys were being so hard to bring down by the 'fearless leader' of the X-men. She rolled her eyes at the 'fearless leader' thought and looked up at Scarlet Witch and just in time.
Vertigo who had run of as fast as she could when Scarlet Witch had approached her was now watching her fight against Gorgeous George and watched as Wanda hexed him away from her and towards Lance and Kitty. Gorgeous George looked at Shadowcat and was about to wrap his tar like body around but as soon as he got close enough the Earth started to rumble and the ground Kitty was standing on went up into the sky causing Gorgeous George to wrap himself around the ground that was in the way. He turned into his regular appearance and glared at Avalanche. As he was about the earth shaker he felt himself being pulled down on to the ground and looked down to look at Shadowcat dragging his feet into the drag so he wouldn't be able to move. Kitty finished and moved out of the way as Lance smiled at her and started bringing the ground he had brought up early down so it could fall onto the purple mutant.
"TIMBER!" Shadowcat yelled out so everyone near could hear and then ran into Avalanche's arms and giggled a bit.
Lexa shook her head at them, 'So carefree even though our lives are in great danger…so happy…maybe one day that could be us…maybe…' she thought to herself and looked back to Vertigo to find that she had a circular looking weapon that had sharp blades all around it. That wasn't what was really worrying her…what was was the fact that she was pointing it straight at Wanda's back. Without any warning to the Scarlet Witch the little scheming bitch threw the circular spiked blade at Wanda.
Wanda was standing with her hands on her hips watching her baby's daddy and her twin brother team up to take on Ruckus and Ramond who at the moment was using the wooden stick he always carried around as a sharp pointed blade. Pietro started running circles around them as john tried lighting the mini tornado Pietro was creating with his flamethrower. Wanda couldn't help but give a small smile as her boyfriend and brother worked together.
'Maybe…Pietro can be forgiven…' she though and as the thought finished he heard a weird sound behind her. She turned around to find a blade right in her face, her eyes widened at how close it was to her. Next to it was X-23 extremely pissed off as a couple of blood drops fell from her since she had caught the blade with her right hands middle and index finger.
"MOVE…" she commanded in a cold voice to Wanda who took two steps back. X-23 pulled her hand towards Wanda but then swung it back towards Vertigo, both watched as the circular blade landed right in the blondes throat causing the skin to slit.
"You are so lucky I love you and Rogue would have kicked my ass if I didn't pay attention to directions…" Lexa said glaring at Wanda.
"I…I…"
"Yeah yeah yeah…you ok?" Lexa asked a bit more caringly.
"A little creped out that I almost died but other than that…fine…" she was going to say more but was interrupted by John's screams of agony. She turned to find that things had been turned around as John was now pinned to a tree with Ramond stabbing Pyro's arm with his stick and Pietro had been tripped by Ruckus. Wanda's eyes narrowed as she watched Ramond and she found herself walking towards him her hands glowing dangerously blue. Lexa watched Wanda walk away fro her…she would have been pissed but wasn't since Scarlet Witch's temper was coming out and with a baby in her stomach that was the last thing she wanted to face. As the fact that she was going to help the one she loved stopped her from getting pissed as she looked at Pietro who somehow had gotten up and was holding Ruckus's throat stopping the mutant from using his mutation. She turned away from her speed demon lover and turned to look at Vertigo with narrowed eyes as soon as she noticed the bitch wasn't dead yet.
Vertigo was on her knees, blood pouring out of her slit throat and out of her mouth. From the little gasps she was making you could tell she was having a hard time breathing. X-23 slowly walked towards her, as her footsteps got closer Vertigo was able to hear them and her eyes become wide in fear.
"Hm…I'm not really shocked to find you in this position," Lexa commented as she looked down at the blonde. "After all…the boys brag about how good you are in it," she added and crouched down to be at eye level with her. Vertigo coughed and looked around her, maybe in hope that someone would save her or that all these was a bad nightmare. Since she couldn't talk X-23 decided to do all the talking.
"You know…just because we're fighting on the good side…doesn't make us good…" she said dragging her hand on top of the blond hair and then slowly dragging it down on to Vertigo's face.
"We joined with the X-men just so we could have the pleasure of doing this to you…all of you…" after she finished saying this her hand reached Vertigo's chin and turned into a fist, it slowly rose back up her face and stopped when her fist was covering Vertigo's nostrils making it harder for her to breath. "I'll see you…in hell…" and without being able to do anything Vertigo watched and felt as X-23's claws unleashed and went into her eyes straight up piercing her brain and having the claws break though her skull. After a minute Lexa let her claws back in and watched at Vertigo's stiff body fell backwards and landed with a thud on the ground.
"Hm…you'd think that after a week with these X-geeks I would have learned the meaning of the word Mercy…" she mused out loud to herself.
"Do you want me to tell you what it means?" a voice spoke up behind her making her turn.
"No…if you tell me it might stop my fun of being the evil bitch I like to be…" she answered Pietro's question and looked behind him to see what had become of Ruckus and Ramond. She found Wanda looking at John's arm to make sure I wasn't badly injured, in a tree nearby Ruckus body was stuck in it, Ramond was on the floor with broken bones.
"How did that happen?" she asked Pietro as he snaked his arms around her waits.
"No one should get in Wanda's way when she's mad…"
"I guess we forgot to show Sinister how bad our tempers are and what we can do when they came out…" Lexa remarked with an evil little smirk.
"I'm starting to think you're to evil for me to handle…" Quicksilver mumbled as he gave her neck a couple of good kisses.
"Evil like us can't be controlled…Sinister has just learned that the hard way…" she replied as he looked around to find that the baddies were being defeated, many of the good guys were hurt of course but that was expected.
"Well at least it seems to be over," John interrupted their conversation as Wanda and himself walked closer to them.
"Yeah…" Lexa answered with a small smile. Wanda didn't say anything as she looked around, something was wrong.
"Lexa…where's Rogue?" she asked looking at the midnight haired mutant. Lexa eyes widened at the fact the MoE's leader was missing. As in on cue seconds after the question was asked and silence filled the air a bright light escaped from Xavier's study and went down straight to the ground near them. Everyone that was fighting elsewhere turned to look at what was happening as the four mutants walked backwards since the light was blinding them.
As they all stared on the started to see a figure rise…blue eyes peered out at them, an evil glint in them. They all gasped as they saw she was bold and looked a lot like Xavier…this was her…his twin.
Cassandra Nova had risen…
OoOoOoOo Rogue OoOoOoOo
/If I could change I would,
Take back the pain I would,
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would,
If I could,
Stand up and take the blame I would,
If I could take all the shame into the grave I would,
If I could change I would,
Take back the pain I would,
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would,
If I could stand up and take the blame I would,
I would take all the shame into the grave/
Rogue stared at the Sinister as his hysterical laugh continued. Finally get fed up with it she approached him and since he was to bust laughing he didn't notice her coming towards him. Without hesitation she threw him out the window and watched him fall only to get caught by Gorgeous George's hand which was coming out of the ground…at least that's what it looked like to her. Rogue then watched the blindly light and looked around the grounds to see that all the X-men, Acolytes and BoM members had abounded the people they were fighting against and had gone forth towards a bald lady.
"Cassandra Nova…" Rogue whispered guessing that this was the evil they had failed to keep locked up. She turned to face Xavier.
"What now?"
"We must fight her and try to lock her back through the light before the fifteen minutes are up…if it's not done by then…"
"A sacrifice must be made…or we all die…" Rogue finished for him as he sadly nodded. She started walking towards the door she broke.
"You stay here and try to help through the window…the rest of us will do what we can..." and with that she walked out the door having Xavier look at her with sad eyes…for he had read what was in her mind.
OoOoOoOo Cassandra Nova OoOoOoOo
/Just washing it aside,
All of the helplessness inside
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
It's so much simpler than change!!!!!/
Everyone was giving Cassandra Nova what they had but to no avail since it hardy put a scratch on her. Sinister's group took this distraction to get up and start making their escape seeing as they weren't being noticed anymore. They all walked toward the X-men gates, which were now completely destroyed thanks to all the people that had crushed into them. They stood and waited…either to have their plans fulfilled…or to await their defeat.
Rogue run out of the mansions front doors to meet with the blinding light, she carefully made her way around to rejoin the other mutants who were giving Cassandra Nova their all. She run and stood next to Gambit as he threw a couple of charged cards to the bald mutants feet. Rogue started to explain to those near her that they had to get Cassandra back into the light to entrap her. While she was saying this Pyro was distracting Xavier's twin by surrounding her with a wall of fire with his good hand and far away out of hearing range were the telepaths making a plan to get rid of the evil telepathic being.
"I think they only really way to get rid of her would be through the mind…" White Queen said starring t her.
"That's probably true luv but don't we need a very powerful telepath for that?" Psylocke asked.
"Yes that would mean…Xavier…"
"NO…I will not afford to have the Professor get put in danger…" Jean said furiously.
"Well we have to…it's either that or bye bye human race!" White Queen yelled at the young redhead.
"Well…we're all powerful…why not just combine our powers? Wouldn't that be just as good as the Prof?" Jean said trying to find an alternate then to risk the life of the person who was like her father. By this time Betts was looking at Cassandra Nova no longer paying attention the older telepaths. She looked over and noticed Rogue had joined the action, she also noticed that the reason everyone's attacks weren't working might have been cause they were so far away from their target.
'They'll never reach her like that…Well if this is my last day being an MoE member…might as well got out with a bang…" Betts though to herself and without anyone noticing walked behind their enemy.
"What the hell is wrong with all if you shooting at her from all the way over here? Ah don't tell me you're all scared?" Wanda yelled at everyone and started moving forward to give Cassandra Nova a taste of what her evil self could do. Before she could take more than one step a hand grabbed her wrist, Wanda turned to glare at the person who had grabbed her thinking it was John on to find Rogue's hand. Her emerald eyes were set on Cassandra Nova.
"No…Xavier didn't explain what was so dangerous about her that he had to lock her way…and if someone's going to be risked you're the last person on the list…" Wanda looked at Rogue and saw how her eyes were misty…she had gotten the hidden message no one but those that knew Rogue well could understand. Wanda was going to comment something but stopped as Rogue eyes widened.
"Elisabeth NO!" but it was already too late. The purpled haired Goth had her psychic knives aimed at Cassandra Nova who was standing less then five feet from her. Betts shot them at her but they had no effect on her, Cassandra Nova smiled evilly at Psylocke and Betsy stared feeling weak and dizzy. Before she knew what was happening her mind was trapped and her body was no longer hers to control.
Rogue and the other watched at Elisabeth turned to them as Cassandra Nova's body suddenly became like a dead body, her eyes showing more evil then she had ever had before.
"I…think we just found out what makes her so damn dangerous…" X-23 mumbled as Psylocke's body slowly moved towards them in a dangerous fashion. Without warning Cassandra Nova using Betts body starred attacking them. Many got hit with Psylocke's psychic knives others dodged them just in time.
"Rogue…what the hell are we suppose to do know?" X-23 yelled to her as she took cover behind a tree to avoid the knives.
"Yeah…do we try throwing Betts into the light? Or Cassandra's limp body?" Scarlet Witch asked as Pyro brought a fire skull up to cover them.
"Ah dunno…um ah gonna guess with Cassandra's mind…" Rogue yelled back as she dodged the knives and went forward towards Betts body. When she got close enough and started talking to her, trying to Betts to fight Cassandra Nova in her head she started fighting her which was bad since Psylocke was well known for her fighting skills. Rogue blocked all the hits and started walking backwards…she didn't want to attack because after all Betts was her friend and even though this was Cassandra Nova she was using her friends body. At one point during there hand-to-hand combat Cassandra found an advantage and hit Rogue made her fly a couple feet away. Everyone else tried fighting her as well but with her ninja skills and telepathic abilities, the controlled Psylocke was pretty unbeatable…especially since no one really wanted to hurt her.
Rogue slowly got up and looked on as others were defeated easier than she had, she then looked down at the watch on her wrist and her eyes widened…thirteen minutes had passes meaning…only two minutes left. They either finished this now…or the end of the world would start in less than an hour. With a last glance around her she started making her way into the mansion, making sure no one had seen her.
Wanda stood in front of Betts possessed body, her hand s glowing blue as Psylocke prepared to throw psychic knives at her. She had to hex her Wanda told herself…it was either Betts or herself. At the last minute she couldn't do it and Scarlet Witch watched as the psychic knives flew her way. X-23 got to Wanda before the knives did and seconds later she was kneeling before Wanda's feet in pain.
"Lexa…" Wanda yelled slowly bending to the youngest member of the MoE.
"I'm okay…OUCH why the hell didn't Betts ever tell us how much that shit hurts…" Wanda ignored the whine and got up her hand s once again glowing blue, it went up and pointed at Psylocke…this wasn't the girl she knew…Betts wouldn't have done that to Lexa…she was an imposter and this time…she would attack. Before she could attack and hand rested on her shoulder distracting her, she turned to see Angel looking at Betts. Getting the hint her hand fell to her side and she watched him walk towards her. When he was far away she turned to X-23 who was now leaning on Pietro so she'd be able to stand. Her eyes narrowed.
"This has got to end…and it's going to end now…" Mumbling that to her self the Scarlet Witch disappeared from sight.
OoOoOoOo Anlocke OoOoOoOo
/It's easier to run!
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Then face all this pain here all alone......…/
"Betts…" Warren said her name softly as he approached his possessed girlfriend. Cassandra Nova's eyes narrowed as he got closer and brought her hand up to point psychic knives at the masked covered men.
"Betts you can fight her and win…I know you can…you just got to try…"
"Sorry Elisabeth Braddock isn't here right now…please leave a message after you're dead," Cassandra mocked in Betts voice and got ready to unleash the knives on him. Angel's eyes narrowed and he pulled of his mask to show h is face to her.
"Are you really going to do it Elisabeth…if you are do it now!"
Cassandra Nova got ready to shoot them at him but before she was going to she dropped to her knees and looked up Warren. Her eyes were no longer narrowed Betts had gained control.
"Warren…you have to…get away from me…before…it's too…" she stopped and her head looked down at the ground.
"I'm going to presume she was going to say 'too…late'…" Psylocke's voiced spoke up as she started getting up…her eyes cold again.
"Let her go…" Angel threatened less then five feet away from the possessed body.
"I don't think so…but I do think we have unresolved issues…LUV," she answered and psychic knives appeared right in front of Warren. Before he could move or do anything to stop her they headed straight for him and hit him right on his chest. Warren fell to the ground and his mind started getting surrounded by darkness.
OoOoOoOo Meanwhile OoOoOoOo
Emma and Jean looked over to Rogue as she yelled at Elisabeth but it was too late for them to talk to the telepath with their powers…she had been taken.
"This is not good…" Emma stated and ran towards the rest of the team determined to do something about her apprentice getting her mind back. Jean was about to join her but stopped and looked inside the mansion…she was hearing someone's thoughts and they weren't the best in the world…if the person went through with it many people would be heartbroken.
'Gambit…' Jean called to Remy telepathically and he turned to face her, as he was bout to throw a charged card at Psylocke. Jean looked up at the roof…
'It's Rogue…' she said in a voice that told Gambit what was happening. He easily got onto the tree he was nearby and made his way towards the roof.
OoOoOoOo The Roof OoOoOoOo
/It's easier to run!!/
Rogue opened the door and walked onto the roof. She then walked towards the front of the mansion towards the bright light.
'If anyone had told meh ah was gonna be doing this ah woulda broken their jaws' Rogue thought to herself as she got nearer and nearer. She reached the rail and slowly flew up into the air so her feet could rest on it, she sighed and got closer towards the edge.
"Don't do it…"
Rogue didn't turn around to stare at him.
"Ah should have know yah would be here…how did yah know?"
/If I could change I would/
"Your thoughts are so loud y'ain't letting some telepaths think chere…"
"Ain't that a shame…"
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why are you doing this…is it some kind of trying to make up for all de things you've done?"
"No…ah know ah haven't been a great person and ah don't have a problem wit that…"
"Then porquoi?"
"Cause in one minute… it's either one of us or all of us…"
/Take back the pain I would/
"Den I'll go…"
"NO! Ah'm the one that's gonna go…"
"Y'said that I was the hero…so let Remy be the damn hero…"
"If it means yah dying…ah won't let it happen."
"And what…y'just expect me to watch you do this!"
"Yea…" Rogue answered and got ready to jump into the light but arms grabbed her around the waist.
"Remy…yah have tah let meh go…" Rogue whispered still not facing him, not wanting to let him see the tears that had formed in her eyes…leaving him was harder then she had though and he wasn't making it easier.
/Retrace every wrong move that I made/
"You aren't a hero Rogue…et Y'don have to be…"
"You're being selfish…there are things ah have to do this fohr…"
"Like?" Remy answered refusing to let her go.
"Fohr Wanda and the baby…fohr my teammates…fohr the world…et toi," Rogue answered and using her super strength took his grab on hold off.
"Je t'amie…" Rogue slowly turned around facing Remy, she walked of the rail and towards him looking deep into his eyes.
/It's easier to go!!/
"Ah love yah too…" she whispered and she got on her tiptoes to meet his lips. She quickly broke this kiss, "And that's why ah gotta do this…" she captured his lips again draining his energy. Remy fell unconscious and Rogue gently placed him on the ground…she wiped the tear from her eyes as she looked at him and started doing backward flips until she ended up on the rail.
"Here's goes nothing…" she mumbled to herself and did a flip into the light, as the light touched her and she started to fall down to the ground hard Cassandra Nova's screams could be heard as she started going into her own body, and then into the lights abyss.
OoOoOoOo The ground OoOoOoOo
/If I could change I would,
Take back the pain I would,
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would,
If I could,
Stand up and take the blame I would,
I would take all the shame/
Everyone covered their eyes as the light went all over the place blinding them, when they reopened them the light was gone and everything was quiet. Everyone looked around to see where Cassandra had gone but she was gone. Psylocke was on her knees, she looked up confusedly but stopped at what she saw and she stood shock at what was in front of her.
X-23 dropped to her knees next to Rogue's lifeless body, her eyes starting to burn because of the tears threatening to come out. Wanda was standing at Rogue's feet staring at her best-friend expressionless, John went and stood next to her getting ready to comfort her when she would have the break down.
The X-men stood quiet looking down at the pale beauty, there was no scratches on her, it just seemed like she was sleeping but what other explanation could there have been for Cassandra's disappearance other than a sacrifice.
Sinister and the rest of his group also stared at the sight, Deathstrike fell to her knees…one of the girls she helped train…the toughest of them all was…gone.
Sinister was shocked…Cassandra Nova had been locked in her hell dimension once again…his team was now officially defeated…and Rogue…one of the girls he though he had made the evilest had given her life for…the greater good.
Jean looked up at the roof to see Gambit woozily get up with help from the rail as he leaned on it. He looked down at the ground to see his chere on the ground, his eyes showing heartbreak…he wasn't able to stop her.
Everything was quiet…
/To the grave!/
