Here's another chapter (2 in 2 days) I am on a roll (I'm so excited about finishing it you may get another tomorrow (but no promises.)

Psycix-Yes this story is coming to an end but I still have It's all Greek to me and several more ideas for stories that have swam into my head (they could all possibly join together to make a series) involving Wolverine, Gambit, Mystique and Sabertooth.

Humanity's last stand (Magneto Vs Xavier II…Nuff said)

"Magneto what you've done here is astounding" gasped Xavier as he walked into the giant office of Magneto which to him reminded him more of a throne room. Magneto sat on a giant chair that sat in the centre of the room.

"Thank you my friend but think that this is just the beginning" smiled Magneto as he stood up, he was wearing a magenta costume with a long billowing cape which made him look like some comic book super villain. "We'll build more, we'll grow and expand once we gather more mutants."

"That could take quite a while" said Xavier as Magneto walked towards him and both men strode towards the door.

"What do you mean Charles?" asked Magneto, his strides were long and powerful as if he was a nobleman and always had been and so had been taught his entire life to be above others.

"It has been so many years since we last met and so far we only have a small handful of mutants and I don't know about you but I discovered my protégés by complete accident said Xavier.

"What do you mean by accident?" asked Magneto as he opened the huge metal doors with his powers.

…

"See Charles Africa is wonderful" smiled Gabrielle as she hung onto the arm of Charles as they whipped through the savannah in a special safari vehicle.

"Yes Gabrielle it is beautiful but I would still rather went to Venice" smiled Xavier back as he looked out at the Zebra running towards the horizon.

A giant crack of thunder exploded overhead as giant clouds rolled through the sky from nowhere, more lightning launched down from the sky as the clouds screamed.

"Does this happen often?" asked Charles as he shifted his weight to lean over the shoulder of the driver.

"More often then you'd think" smiled the driver with a knowing smile "Let me show ya" said the driver as he quickly span the wheel rocking Xavier back to his seat hard.

"I don't know whether this is such a good idea Charles" wined Gabrielle as she grabbed his arm hard.

"I agree" said Xavier as he leaned forward to talk to the driver "You are sure this is a good idea?"

"Of course and even if it isn't doesn't matter now because were here" smiled the driver as he slammed on the breaks and the vehicle skidded to a halt resting on the edge of a high ridge.

Xavier and Gabrielle both looked out of the window as a woman dressed in animal skins hovered high in the air while lightning flashed past her and hit the ground near where a man was standing, the wind howled and rain fell all around as a battle ensued.

"We call the chick with white hair Storm, she some sort of freak but they treat her as a goddess. The guy's Hungan he's a real piece of work, threatened to kill me once just for stepping on their land…hoping she fry's him personally" smiled the driver, Gabrielle and Xavier just looked at one another and nodded.

"Mutant" smiled Xavier to himself.

…

"After the battle I offered her a place in my school and she joined" said Xavier "I didn't even find Hank, he came to me one rainy night and asked for help to contain a beast."

"A beast?" asked Magneto with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes as well as his strength and agility his mutation gives him heightened senses but with those senses comes animal aggression and rage which he constantly fights to repress" said Charles "Unlike your friend Sabertooth, he seems to have given into his animal nature."

"He has given into nothing Charles, he merely knows that that is the way he is supposed to be, he is supposed to be an animal and he loves it" smiled Magneto as he walked towards another giant door "Let us see how our little friends are getting on".

"I'm sure they're getting on famously" smiled Charles as the door swung open and he was hit by the flying body of Mystique sending him to the floor, the blue woman flipped to her feet and launched back into the room at high speed with a kick to Storm, Sabertooth shot past the two before bouncing into a wall and hurtling back to Hank who found himself pinned to the floor as Sabertooth roared above him.

"famously?" asked Magneto with a small smirk as he prepared to use his powers.

…

Months passed and the mutants formed an uneasy alliance, Xavier's recruits and Magneto's recruits did not get along, Beast hated Sabertooth because he was everything he did not wish to be but was scared he would become. Sabertooth hated Beast because he hid who he truly was. Mystique and Storm had no real reason to hate each other but they did have mutual loathing for one another. Magneto and Charles still got along well or at least on the surface.

"Has anyone seen Magneto?" asked Charles as he walked into the main dining room.

"He's gone out" grinned Sabertooth with a raspy throat laugh.

"What did he say?" asked Charles as panic rose in his voice, he had sensed Magnus growing more and more angry with the world each day.

"He said when the baldy loser asks where I am tell him I went out" smiled Sabertooth "Okay maybe it wasn't in those words but…he went out."

…

"The earth, a gift from god and so beautiful. We spin helplessly on the little blue marble but our hoe is rotten, there is a cancer that is slowly eating away at this paradise…Humanity" thought Magneto as he walked down the street in his best human suit, trying to blend in "Yet like any surgeon worth his metal I must test…and this is the final test, if humanity fails then I shall destroy them."

"Yeah of course that's it Aliens" smiled Bill, he had worked his entire life and was now the foreman on the city construction site. He was the average man, two kids wit a third on the way, worked from 9 till five, when he got home he'd open a beer and watch the news every night and then he'd read the newspaper sports...funnies…News.

"I can't understand, this is earthquake proof, hurricane proof and riot proof. It was going to be my masterpiece that would stand for all time" cried the architect as he looked at his building which had so unceremoniously (so near completion) somehow been ripped from the floor and been dumped upside down.

"Might as well go home boys…we wont get anything done today" shrugged Bill as he grabbed hi lunch box and the others followed his example.

Bill wandered down the sidewalk a little before he was joined by a white haired man in a dark suit wearing sunglasses "Mr Jones?" asked the man.

"As long as you aint IRS, that's me" smiled Bill with a handshake, that was one of his favourite little jokes.

"I'm Magnus, I'm from the government and I'm looking for answers about your building" said Magneto with a confused expression and a thumb towards the upside down building.

"Well I don't really know anything but if you buy me a coffee I'll make some good sounding stuff up" smiled Bill, he was always joking.

Magnus handed him a coffee a couple of minutes later as the two began to speak "That was some sight huh? The building I mean."

"Yup sure was" smiled Bill as he took another sip of the hot coffee, plain, white, two sugars and none of that mocca frappe choco loco chino crap, just the way he liked it.

"You don't seem startled by it" noticed Magnus as he took a drink as they walked.

"When I first saw it damn near soiled myself" laughed Bill "but the boys look up to me so I just brushed it off, no one was hurt and that's the main thing aint it?"

"Quite" said Magnus "But people will be hurt Bill, a mass culling is coming and people will be hurt, people will be killed unless you give me a reason not too" thought Magneto to himself. "Bill let me ask you something do you know what a mutant is?"

"Not really, what's this all about anyhow?" asked Bill as he became suspicious of this government man.

"Our scientists recently discovered an anomalous gene that gives people extraordinary powers such as flight, control of fire…"

"…turning buildings upside down" laughed Bill "Okay where's the cameras" Bill looked at the serious face of Magnus for a second "You're not joking are you?"

"We believe the mutant is a man on your team and we want you to help us find him" smiled Magnus.

"If you're wanting me to point a finger…you're out of luck. I wont lie and say that the whole idea of a mutant doesn't scare me but I've known these guys for a while and I don't care if one of them can melt brains with a thought as long as he doesn't do it" said Bill as he began to walk away but Magnus caught up with him.

"So you're telling me you'd just let a mutant live near you or go to school with your kids?" asked Magnus as he put on his best average Joe vocabulary.

"I aint sayin I'd like to run into a guy who can play twister with a building like that but I got nothing against them, the way you're talking they're just average guys who got genetically shafted" shrugged Bill.

"Could it be Charles is right? That these prejudice morons are possible of true enlightenment?" wondered Magnus to himself "But what if these mutants were hunted, what if they decided that enough was enough and set about to destroy the human race, what if they destroyed your wife and kids with a single thought?"

"Is that some kind of threat?" asked Bill, he was growing to dislike the man more an more.

"No it's just hypothetical really, I just wondered" smiled Magnus as he tried to bring a more relaxed.

"I don't like hypothetical questions Mr Magnus, we don't live in a hypothetical world" said Bill with a serious nod "I realise you're trying to get at something but you're going about it all wrong, if you want to figure out someone with a question game you have to be more subtle like."

"How do you mean?" asked Magnus, his interest was peaked by the genetic dead end giving him advice.

"Well take this one my daddy taught me, he was in the war don't you know. It's an old one but it still works…If you could go back in time and kill a defenceless innocent baby Hitler would you?" smiled Bill as he thought he stumped the man "See not so easy is it."

Magnus stared for a second as his face twitched, the nearby fire hydrant shook a little "You are wrong Bill, it is easy, if it would save those lost during the holocaust…I would find the child and smother him where he lay. Then I would destroy his family! His families family! I WOULD DESTROY THE CITY IN FIRE AND FURY, I WOULD KILL EVERYONE WHO HAD EVER THOUGHT ABOUT HIM!" screamed Magnus at the top of his voice as trucks began to jack-knife as drivers lost control, street lamps exploded and hydrants flew into the air spraying water around, magnus slowly rose into the air above Bill.

"What are you?" asked Bill with a quiver in his voice.

"You have asked all the questions you are going to, now is my turn. Bill if by some miracle you had me at a disadvantage would you kill me! Would you kill the mutant master of Magnetism Magneto!" screamed Magneto as power crackled around him.

"Get away from me!" screamed Bill as he began to run but was simply hoisted into the air.

"Why Bill? I thought you didn't mind mutants" grinned Magneto furiously as he brought the crying man to him "All I have done Bill is show you my true face, one face in a legion of many more who refuse to cower any longer, a legion who are tired of waiting for acceptance from humanity and acceptance which will never come. Face your fear, ace the truth we were meant to rule over you, now tell me Bill are you still willing to shared a drink and a dirty joke with a mutant?"

Bill was silent as he hovered in the air, tears streamed down his face as he sniffed "NO! I want you all dead!

"Thank you Bill I have my answers…every wise man becomes a rabid killing machine when faced with something they don't understand" smiled Magnus magnanimously as he dropped Bill.

"It didn't have to be this way" cried Bill "You could have said something from the beginning. I'm only a man, what choice did I have after what you did? I was scared of you, not because you're a mutant….you're a Monster!" screamed Bill at the top of his lungs.

Magneto shot back one more look and then rose higher until he was gone.

…

"Charles I've just constructed the greatest machine ever for locating mutant…here look at the plans" said Magneto as he threw some rolled up paper at Charles, who looked them over for a second before tucking them in his pocket.

"Were leaving" said Charles simply.

"Leaving? Why?" asked Magneto as he grasped for words.

"I know what you did Magnus" said Charles.

"Magneto!" barked the master of Magnetism, he now hated the name Magnus.

"You're name is Magnus! I was wrong to call you Magneto, it builds into your deluded fantasies that you are more then a man."

"Charles about what I did I needed to do it, I needed to evaluate humanity" said Magnus with a shake of the head.

"You did not! Even if you had needed too why not tell me, we could have down it objectively by reading minds, we could have looked at history, we could have done anything…you did not have to terrify a poor man, you shouldn't have kept it a secret!" yelled Charles as he walked towards the door where Beast and Storm stood outside waiting.

"Secrets!" screamed Magneto as the doors swung shut "You dare speak to me of secrets, I know of your secret psychic meetings with world leaders, the warnings and what you've been saying about me! Charles you're the only one with secrets, why is it that you can see everyone of my thoughts but keep your own so tightly locked?"

"Magnus I would never read your mind you were my friend" reasoned Charles as he pulled on the door.

"Were? Past tense Charles" smiled Magneto as he magnetically dragged Charles to him before flinging him hard into a wall.

"Don't you understand Charles we must destroy them before they destroy us?" asked Magneto as he strode up and down the room.

"Magnus this is your final warning free me from your shackles or I will not be held responsible for my actions!" yelled Xavier, Beast and Storm pounded on the other side of the door with all their strength but it wouldn't budge.

"How long Charles till they build camps to hold us, till they destroy us and experiment on us…I tell you it has already begun, Sabertooth out there, I rescued him from a thing called Weapon X…experimentation on mutant soldiers. Charles they will destroy us if we don't destroy them" lectured Magneto.

"Fine I warned you" said Xavier as he summoned up the last of his mental strength and unleashed the largest mental force bolt he had ever thought of, Magneto flew backwards and slammed into the wall behind his chair, the doors swung open as Beast and Storm ran in.

…

"Magneto…wake up" said Mystique as she propped him to his feet.

"Charles?" asked a groggy Magneto.

"He's gone and so are the other two, they'll still be in the jungle let me go after them and I will bring you their skins" growled Sabertooth.

"No! let them go" ordered Magneto "but I shall give Charles a gift to remember me by" smiled Magneto as his chair began to twist, it was like liquid metal as it turned into a long spear. Magneto scanned the jungle with his magnetic powers till he found the mutant signature he looked for "There you are" he smiled as the spear shot from the room.

"Keep going professor!" yelled Storm who flew over the heads of Beast and Charles as they ran through the jungle's thick growth. Silently the spear raced towards them.

"AGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Charles as he crumbled to the floor.

Beast skidded to a halt and ran to his side "Dear god!" cried the beast as he looked at the giant spear which pinned the professor to the floor and had severed his spinal cord, they escaped the jungle but Charles Xavier would never walk again.

Magneto sat in his throne room smiling to himself "Charles, the war has just begun" his laughter rang throughout the jungle.

To Be Continued…

Well that's this one done and dusted…this leads us up to about seven or eight years before Evolution kicks off but there wont be any more chapters set before, so go watch all of X-men Evolution so you can remember what happened and then come back for the final chapter. The Trial of Magneto!
