Apocalypse Game

A/N: I don't own anything, except my stuff which you all know about and yadda, yadda, yadda. Technically Connors and Banner are Marvel and they are doctors, better then Strange, you want to know how??? Read their comics and know.

Chapter Fourteen

"So," said Strange, "You two recluses decided to show up, well I guess the fact that you two are both monsters has to help with something."

"Shut it you Witch Doctor," muttered Banner, "You figured out what the problem, now it's our turn as real doctors to help bring the patient out."

You could see the energy in the room, Strange was up against the Lizard and Hulk and he knew it and didn't seem perturbed, course when your mystic, nothing except impending doom frightens you.

"Fine," he sneered, "Let's see what you have that I don't."

The two of them got to work, the applied a few homegrown remedies that Strange had never seen before, and soon enough they brought my temperature down to a respectable degree and had an IV in me.

"That is interesting indeed," said a bemused Connors, "If somehow the fight indeed induce the coma and the dream recurred then he still feels sorrow over it, I sympathize with him and I believe that a child of his age should never have to carry out a mission like that."

"But," mused Strange, "What interests me is why he didn't spare the unit's leader, if he had done that he might not have had to go through that."

"Strange," said Q, "If hadn't spared him, then he'd be dead and the hope that we have along with it as well, Destiny plays her cards well and sometimes we have to go along with her, we can't truly write our own, but we can accept and write within her."

"Guys," said a worried Banner, "His temps going up again, our monitor say's he's going through another dream."

"Damn," muttered Strange, "I can't do it, if he's that deep in then we have to concider him dead."

"I can't and won't allow that," said Lady Q, "Somehow we have to bring him back."

"A befallance of this kind belongs to nature," mused Urd wiping my forehead and stroking my hair, "He needs help and...and...and I think that I can try and help."

"No," said Bell, "If anyone of us is going to bring him back, then it's going to have to be me."

"But," said Urd, "I do believe that Belldandy has the abilty where Strange lacks, Bell was able to bring out Keichi when Bell was almost recalled to Heaven, but we don't know about Goldwood, since he isn't a normal human."

"Right," said Strange, "Let's do it."

Bell stepped in the protection circle and Strange stepped out. She sat on the edge of my bed and put a hand on my forehead and immediately she was inside my head.

Inside my head

"Ugh...That hurt," "I said as I once again was in my dream, "The blade might of gone in further, but it slipped, ugh."

I looked around and immediately proceded back into the santuary, inside it was a lot worse then I had imagined, there were bodies around all over, both students and the killers, a few people were still alive, those who hadn't been in the direct line of fire but had gotten clipped and were dying, I noticed one person trying to get up and I went over to her.

"Uhh...I....I need to get to a hospital," The girl said, "I can still escape."

"You should stay put, you need to conserve your energy," I said, helping her sit down, "Medical assistance will be here shortly and you'll be alright."

"Where were you John?" she asked with an accusing tone, "Why weren't you down here fighting and trying to save us, why couldn't you help?"

I realized that I had been a coward, but I wasn't going to admit that, but then she spoke again and this time cut directly to the soul.

"You did't care, you only cared about getting out of here and saving your own hide, you didn't care about us one bit, otherwise you'd be down here like the rest of us." She said pointing a finger at me accusingly.

"Nooo!!!!!" I screamed, "That wasn't true at all, yes did have cowardice and leave, but I saved the Tech Director and he will get help here soon, I killed everyone of those who harmed you and you are all avenged!!!

She looked at me with eyes full of conviction and accusement and said, "Then I leave you with this, you will not find rest until all of the evil that hurt us has been elimanated, you are now cursed not to find rest until this mission is over, either in life or in death, so I leave it to...." That's all she got out before she died.

"Nooooooooo!!" I screamed, "No, I cannot fail like this, I cannot fail at all, none of you would be dead if I hadn't stayed and fought back, I am sorry, I am sorry!!"

I stood there and slowly walked out, police and aid units were already on the sceen with the area being cordoned off and medics helping those who were still alive get treated, the whole school had been hit, but we had fought back killing most of the attackers, three were left over and were under security by the school's own guards, the three smiled and laughed and I went over to them.

"So, you are the people who caused darkness to fall upon this place, well let me tell you something," I said, "I will kill all your friends, and then I'll kill all your families, and then I'll" I was cut off by one of them speaking to me

"You....You are just a kid, you...you can't do anything, you tried to save your school, but you failed," the leader sneered, "Now you are going to wander forever broke and defeated and you will rue the day that you were born."

I calmly told the guards to back off, since they wouldn't be needed anyfurther, then I turned back to the leader, and smiling I said, "I don't care about you mocking, your people all died at my hand with this blade," I said, "And you will all die like dogs in my sight as I use you as an instrument for you and all of your followers destruction!!"

T.V. camera's were turned towards the action as I slew all three of the terrorists, people screamed and fainted as I cleaned my blade and then I turned to see a woman facing me, a woman whom I knew from somewhere before, in here eyes I saw sorrow and she spoke with sorrow, "Now I understand why you face this horror, it is your destiny that was set upon you, a destiny that you can't be set free from, the deaths of many in your life, of friends, of family, this has given you your bitterness and has caused you to feel sorrow, come out of this, come out and return to life."

Immediately I felt a great weight lifted from my shoulders, the lady approached me and held my hand, all at once this world began to disappear and I felt myself going, moving upward. I turned to her and saw to my surprise that she looked like a goddess, I asked, "Who are you, where are we going and am I dead?"

She smiled at me, a smile of true radiance that beamed of the morning sun after a rainstorm and said, "You will not remember, but I am the Goddess Belldandy, I entered into this dream to help understand why you were in a coma, you are going back to wakefulness and I will be by yourside."

With that we entered into the waking realm, and I awoke with a start to find many gathered round my bed, many of the X-men, Yoda, Galactus, Dr. Strange, Bell and her sisters, Q and Lady Q, a family eager for one such as me to return to life.

"The time has come," I said, "We must go to war, those who attacked my school were not ordinary terrorists, they were from other demensions, those who attacked served as a warning from one who wanted to get my attention in a bad way."

Everybody looked around and mused on who it could be, finally Calhoun spoke and asked, "Who would be that bold to send terrorists to attack a school of no significant importance, who would be that insane?"

"One who was never truly sane, world conquest, the re-writting of time, the enslavement of all....who else but Megatron!!"
