Red Lotus, Gaia, Amun, Colossus, and Sunfire stepped into the training room, which was pretty much equipped to be the Exiles' version of the Danger Room. Today Colossus and Sunfire were about to take their students on a little holographic mission. The two needed the training themselves since they were a little rusty when it came to fighting skills considering how long they had been held captive by Sinister.
"So Amun I hear you like Egyptian mythology," Colossus commented.
Amun's face lit up light a candle and he replied, "Yeah. Pretty much where my name came from. Amun was the god of creation. Though he wasn't in any stories surprisingly."
"Well, then I think you'll like this simulation child," Sunfire said as the metal boxed in room turned into a vast desert.
Red Lotus looked around amazed, "This is incredible. It's so real I can even feel the heat of this place."
"The technology came from some connections Exodus has yet to disclose to us. Unless he did while Sunfire and I were gone," Colossus said looking over at Gaia who had been around since before the two went missing.
Gaia shook her head, "He still hasn't said who gave him the tech. Kinda strange huh?"
"Very, but that's a matter for another day. Right now we need to focus on the mission at hand. There are four pyramids. One in the east, north, south, and west of this desert we're working in. Each one of these pyramids has a red flag at the top of them. Retrieve those flags and we win. It's as simple as that," Sunfire explained.
Colossus moved beside Sunfire, "Amun I suggest you pick one of us to absorb the DNA from. Remember your two hour time limit or you'll be stuck in the form you change in to. Amun you will be the only person to have a partner. You will choose who that partner will be."
"I choose you Colossus. And I'll be absorbing your DNA if you please," Amun said as he walked up to Peter and touched his chest. It took only a brief moment for Amun to absorb Colossus's DNA into himself.
"Now you have your first DNA sample in your catalogue. When we get the time you'll absorb all of the students and teachers DNA," Colossus said.
"Enough chatter. Everyone fan out and be on your guard. Remember most of us will be all alone in this," Sunfire said as he took off in the air towards the north leaving a blaze of fire behind him.
"Amun and I will take the west," Colossus said as he directed Amun to follow him.
"I got that east side baby," Gaia laughed as she took in stride towards the pyramid she was to conquer.
"Guess that leaves me with south," Red Lotus sighed as he walked his way towards his objective.
CairoRamses walked down the streets of Cairo. Chaos reigned around him. His mutant soldiers were ravaging the city to pieces. Homes burned, bodies were mutilated, and screams of terror could be heard all over. This all pleased Ramses Xavier.
"Hear me Earth! I am here and I will conquer!" Ramses yelled out to no one in particular.
A mutant with long black hair and an emaciated gray face approached Ramses, "Sir we have reports of resistance pounding into our forces! Numerous mutant forces lead by who we believe to be the X-Man known as Sabertooth."
"Impossible! Sabertooth is dead. Take me to this resistance and now!" Ramses yelled his anger beginning to boil over.
Buenos AiresNew Son stretched out his hand and ignited a building with his kinetic energy. The building exploded loudly sending debris flying all over the city. New Son threw back his head and laughed. The time was nearing when this Earth would be theirs. The unconquerable Earth 616 would fall to them.
"New Son! New Son!" Domina, one of New Son's favorite Neo, yelled as she came running down the streets at full sprint.
"What is it Domina?" New Son asks as he bends down to hold up an exhausted Domina. She was suppose to be on the other side of the city so for her to run all that way non stop was a feat to admire.
"We are under attack New Son! An army of clones sir have just attacked our forces. Rax and his division are holding off the army as best as possible. But going up against an army of Sabertooths and Sebastian Shaws is no easy thing.
The blue energy that made up New Son's body flared up as Domina finished her report. With piercing eyes he looked the woman Neo in the face and said, "Take me to this disturbance. I will annihilate it quickly."
Domina nodded her head obediently and New Son wrapped his arms around her midsection. With that he took off into the air and from there he could see his forces battling against this army of clones.
He could see Barbican struggling as best as he could to fight off the hordes of clones by raising up brick walls out of thin air. He was able to entrap a good number of his opponents. And he was also making stone spikes arise randomly out of the ground to severely harm the attacking forces.
Not far way from Barbican, New Son saw Seth holding off two Sabertooth clones with some degree of success. Though he was cornered and if not saved he would fall.
"This ends now!" New Son exclaimed as he enveloped all the clones in his kinetic energy. Their bodies began to glow and at the sight of this many of the Neo began to retreat back. They looked up into the sky and saw who had arrived on the battlefield. They knew exactly what was about to happen.
BOOM!
DamascusHail, thunder, lightning, fierce rain, and tornadoes battered this ancient desert city. All of these strange happenings originated from Jadianna Logan. She was the daughter of Storm and Wolverine. On her world her mother and father had both been killed by Sentinels. She was barely even two when that happened.
"Run humans! Cower before your new goddess! Give way to Jadianna. All will fall before me," the lineage of Storm screamed as she spun around in the air wildly. Nature was her plaything and right now she was having far too much fun with it.
"Oh please!" Fabian Cortez shouted from below as he blasted Jadianna in the sky sapping away a good deal of her strength. She began to fall towards the ground.
"How dare you harm her majesty?" Cypher asked enraged as he came up behind Cortez and touched his cheek. Fabian fell to the ground and began to convulse wildly.
"That should teach you a lesson whelp. I just had a very nasty conversation with your nervous system," Cypher gloated as he dusted his hands together at a job well done.
Before he could even move to see if Jadianna was all right he was hit in the face by a size 13 foot. It had come from the mutant F19. He had light grayish skin and two black circles around his eyes. His hair was read as fire. He was the son of Domino and Apollyon. He was the grandson of Jean Grey and En Sabah Nur. He was a servant of Sinister and he was ticked.
"Fabian didn't come alone mutant. I'm here to accompany him in destroying you and yours," F19 said through gritted teeth.
Cypher rubbed his jaw and said a few inaudible words. F19 fell over grasping his stomach. What had Cypher done to him? The bodyguard of Jadianna grabbed F19 by his short hair and spat in the mutant's face.
"I just told your stomach to start making as much acid as possible. Talk about killer heartburn," Cypher laughed wickedly.
"I've not given up yet," F19 said with a smug smile as he let out a gigantic scream. He was using the powers of Ruckus that had been grafted to him. The whole of Damascus shook from F19's tremendously powerful sonic scream. Cypher fell to his knees clutching his ears and then he fell unconscious. F19 fell down right next to Cypher knowing he was going to die. His stomach would soon make far much more acid than his body could handle and he would die. Simple as that. He had accepted it.
SpaceSeti and Ptah watched the displays of the war happening on Earth. Looking over to Seti, Ptah asked, "Who could possibly be behind all those mutant attacks on our army? Do you know of anyone that powerful in this reality?"
"Some potentially my friend. Someone in particular. I'm going to find him and make use of him as best as possible," Seti laughed.
"Who could this someone be?"
"Mr. Sinister."
"Can you be sure?" Ptah asked dumbfounded. He had hardly ever thought of Sinister. On his world he had died by the hand of Cyclops and Jean Grey.
"More than sure. He is the one we must kill."
