Chapter Eight Essence Part Five Residual
"We're here." said one of the men named Ben.
"I've put anaesthetic in the man since he wasn't injured and could wake up at any time." said Donny. Remy was laid on the van floor next to Rogue who had bandages on her to help stop the bleeding which Donny had put on.
"I'm sure that the masters will be pleased." said Ben.
"I'm not sure if this is the right thing though." said Donny. "The X Men are good people Ben, they've never done anything wrong."
"Yes they have, there mutants Don, don't forget that. Plus the masters hate them, and they are the main key to the return of...well you know who." Donny sighed. He looked to the nearly dying girl and sleeping man. Donny new this was wrong and didn't want to hurt people, but he also knew that he would die if he didn't. Donny was a coward, but he had hope.
He looked to the girl with the white stripes in her hair. Her hair was curly, but long. She had beautiful red rose lips and her face was one of an angel. Donny couldn't help but smile. Her face for some reason gave him hope, maybe because she was an X Men but he felt as though she would be a big role to play.
He continued to look at her but his eyes trailed to her wound which was on her waist and near her heart. Blood flowing like mad, it would be a miracle if she survived from all the blood she lost, it was even a miracle that she had survived this long.
The girl started to move her head a bit so Donny moved forward and looked at her. Her eyes fluttered a bit but then closed. Donny only saw the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen, even if it was for a mere moment.
Rogue had looked to see a man in front of her, she didn't know who he was, but he was just a blur as she went back into unconsciousness. Her dreams were keeping her alive now, and she was dreaming about the time of Apocalypse…
Rogue flew as fast as she could to the SHIELD base near Bayville, she needed to get there as quick as possible to save the others from their 'fate'.
As she landed outside SHIELD units, six men dashed in front of her with guns. Rogue gasped as this was unexpected.
"Hold you're hands up and tell us you're reason for being here." said one of the men.
"Ah'm here t' see Hutch." said Rogue, but she didn't put her hands in the air.
"Reason being?"
"Okay ya really wanna know, it's 'coz this spirit thang has wiped out half o' mah family an' Hutch might have found a way t' capture it." explained Rogue.
"And why would a young girl like yourself come all the way down here for that? Couldn't someone older come?" asked one of the men.
"Yeah but ah'm the strongest one they got." said Rogue.
"And what you're like 10 years old." joked one of the men. Rogue grunted but didn't take it seriously; she wasn't in the mood since Ororo's death.
"No actually ah'm 17 years ol'."
"Boys back off the little lady." said a voice as the man came through the six men. "Never point a gun at a lady, especially not one like Rogue here." Nick Fury looked at Rogue with a serious face and the same with Rogue. "Welcome once again Rogue."
"Where's Hutch?" asked Rogue.
"Well aren't you straight to the point." Rogue just narrowed her eyes.
"Ah have no time fo' chit chatter, mah family are in danger an' ah know SHEILD won' help me since ya'll are jus' ass holes, so ah need a devise that Hutch said he'd make." explained Rogue.
"That devise little lady is for SHEILD only." said Nick stepping forward.
"Ah don' care Fury, one o' mah closest friends have died an' ah won' let the rest. Ah need that devise, so you either give it t' me or ah'll take it." the six men laughed in disbelief, but Fury new she could.
"I'm afraid that won't be possible Rogue." said Fury.
"Don' play games with me Fury, ah know an' you know ah can get passed you're security in a second."
"That's not the point, we don't have it."
"What do you mean!" Rogue shouted stepping forward.
"Starlight took it." said Fury simply.
"She…took it…took it!"
"But don't worry, Hutch is outing equipment together as we speak to make the same devise which Starlight made and destroyed." explained Fury.
"How long will it be?" Rogue asked.
"As long as it takes."
"That aint good enough Fury."
"Well then you'll just have to stay here for the time being."
"Stay here with you goons, no way." said Rogue. "Ah need t' save the ones ah love before this thing comes back and takes them away from me."
"I know this must hurt Rogue, but we can't let you off the grounds now, it's official rules." said Fury.
"An' what are ya goin' t' do, lock me in a cell!" shouted Rogue tears rolling down her eyes.
"No, you know we don't do that sort of thing."
"But ah do know that you have the sentinels, an' ah do know you torture mutants which you find t' find the ultimate mutant abilities an' put them t' test. You use us as genie pigs, like you're lil toys!" shouted Rogue.
"But we don't do that Rogue, we experiment on mutants that wish to be experimented on." explained Fury.
"Then tell me Nick Fury, who in the right mind would wan' t' b' experimented on!"
"You're good friend, Wolverine." pointed out Fury. "Captain America, Sam Jones, Fil…"
"Okay ah get the point maybe ah'm wrong. But they had their reasons an' ah have mine." said Rogue.
"Well then, I'm sorry but we can't do anything for you." said Fury.
"You won' even come t' the mansion an' help us?" asked Rogue, angrily.
"It's not our place to save the world Miss Rogue, unlike you X Men try to do."
"Least we have a dream." said Rogue. "You've jus' got a sick problem." Fury started to walk away. He turned his head over his shoulders.
"We're not the sick ones Rogue, you are." with that he and the six men walked away. Rogue was always confused on what SHIELD really stood for.
"Ah can' give up." said Rogue to herself. She flew up ontop of SHIELD'S roof and crushed the cameras. She then opened the entrance to SHIELD and flew down making sure know one could see her. She knew Hutch was most likely a scientist so she looked for a lab. The lords must love her as she found a door with Technical Lab on it. If it had Hutch in it, she'd not know.
Rogue quietly opened the door and found inside Hutch with goggles on. He hadn't noticed Rogue come in. He attached a small button to the device he was working on and then smiled to himself.
"Yes finally I've done it!" shouted Hutch to himself.
"What?" asked Rogue. Hutch jumped out of his skin and turned to Rogue. He took his goggles off.
"Oh Rogue I didn't see you there. Did Fury let you in?" asked Hutch.
"Urr…yeah." Rogue lied. Sje moved closer to Hutch. "So, is that what ah think it is?" Rogue pointed to the device.
"Well yes, bt I'm sorry to inform you but SHEILD said I can't hand them to anyone." said Hutch. Rogue sighed, she liked Hutch and didn't want this to get ugly.
"Hutch ah'm sorry but ah need this more than anyone." said Rogue.
"Hey Hutch what's going…Rogue?" Johnny had come through the doors.
"Human Torch?" Rogue said as she turned around. She thought Johnny wa san okay guy, but she would never think as him as a boyfriend.
"What are you doing down here?" he asked.
"Ah'm gonna b' honest with ya, ah need that device o' his t' save mah family." said Rogue pointing to Hutch. "Thang is he has orders not t' give it t' me."
Johnny looked to Hutch.
"Just give the girl what she wants." said Johnny. Hutch blinked in disbelief.
"Pardon me?"
"Well she needs that thingy to save her family, so it's more important than a stupid little order that people brake all the time." said Johnny. Rogue looked to Johnny to Hutch. She smield sweetly as Hutch looked to her. Hutch sighed nad handed it to her.
"Fine but I want it back."
"Why ah mean once this thang captures the Spirit there's no need fo' it." said Rogue.
"Just don't brake it." said Hutch.
"Ah won', thank you so much Hutch." said Rogue as she hugged him. Hutch looked uncomfortable. Rogue headed for the door when she felt a hand on her covered shoulder.
"Where do you think you're going?" asked Johnny.
"Well first ah'm goin' t' Europe to backpack an' then ah'm gonna do the hulla hoop dance in Mexico, where do you think!" said Rogue sarcastically.
"A girl with whit, I like that."
"Yeah an' how much would you like a broken arm?"
"Funny, but back to business, I'm going with you." said Johnny. Rogue's eyes widened.
"No way fire ball, ah can handle this on mah own." said Rogue.
"I know, but I want to see this thing die too. My sister Sue, you might know her as the invisible woman, well she's in a coma right now. She's all I have and I love her so much." said Johnny. Rogue sighed.
"Fien but screw this up an' you're getting the blame!" Johnny smiled. Rogue turned back to Hutch. "Thanks Hutch." she and Johnny then excited and back to the mansion.

Jubilee was crouched down on the danger room floor. She was sorting out the temporary beds for their uncomfortable nights to come in the danger room. Bobby jumped on one of the mattresses Jubilee was sorting out.
"Bobby!" she shouted. "I've just done this one!"
"And?" he questioned.
"And now you've ruined it and it was all neat." said Jubilee sadly.
"Beds are meant to ruined it's not going to stay neat all day." pointed out Bobby.
"Yeah I guess you're right." said Jubilee. Bobby looked surprised.
"What no whitty comment about how lame I am?" asked Bobby.
"Nope, but you are lame."
"Jubes…? It's Ororo isn't it?"
"You know it is, she died Bobby, she died." said Jubilee.
"I know Jubes…I know." he hugged her.
Logan looked over ot the two and returned back to Jean.
"It's like a match made in heaven huh?" he asked.
"Yeah and they don't even realise it, but past all the sarcasm and meanfulness, there just meant to be." said Jean. Logan nodded.
"Thinking about Scott?"
"Yes." she said trufuly. "He could be next Wolverine." Logan put an arm around her.
"One eye is a tuff man red, he'll make it through."
"Just like Ororo?" said Jean with tears rolling down her eyes. Her eyes were all ready swollen red.
"No way Jean, Ororo was a good fighter, but maybe she just didn't have enough will as Scott has." reassured Logan.
"Hey you used mine and Scott's real name." said Jean happily as she looked up to him.
"Wow I must be growing soft." Jean laughed and walked over to Scott's bed.
"I love you so much Scott."

Rogue entered the house; she made as much noise as possible. Johnny entered behind her. Rogue wasn't sure if it was even here, but she had a good feeling.
She and Johnny walked slowly forward, watching every object and every corner.
"It could b' anywhere." said Rogue.
"Well, well, well aint dis de lil party fo' three." Rogue cursed to herself. She turned to the side of her and Johnny and saw Remy LeBeau.
"Damn you LeBeau!" Rogue whispered shouted. Johnny sighed.
"Not you again, you looking for another fight I can kick you're ass in?" Remy scowled.
"Mon ami, you forgot dat Rey b' de one dat win dat." Rogue sighed.
"Ya'll shut up an' some on."
"Rogue you should b' in de danger room." said Remy following her silently.
"An' you should b' half way t' Japan 'f you know what's good fo' ya." she said.
"Remy had t' see 'f mah chere was alright." Remy said.
"Well go find her then." said Rogue. Remy grinned.
"What are you two doin' anyway?" asked Remy.
"We're gonna get this thang an' trap it." replied Rogue.
"And then we're going to go back to SHEILD and give it them the device back." said Johnny.
"Actually we're not Johnny." said Rogue. Johnny stopped in his tracks so Rogue and Remy did and turned to him.
"What!" he shouted.
"Look, ah know you're a good guy but SHEILD aint on the good list sugah, 'f we hand this back t' SHEILD with the Spirit in it, then god knows what things they'll do with it." explained Rogue.
"I'm all for breaking rules, but that has gone too far. I'm going to have to take that off you Rogue." said Johnny as he flamed up. Remy stood infront of Rogue.
"You touch Rogue an' you're gonna go boom boom." Remy charged his card.(1)
"Ya'll please we're here t' help the others not t' fight one another!" shouted Rogue. Suddenly loud breathing was heard. Rogue and Remy looked at Johnn's wide eyes ao they turned around and saw…it. The spirit just looked at them.
"Chere, move slowly t' moi." said Remy. Rogue looked stunned and then growled.
"No way this thang is goin' down." Rogue touched the green button and a ray hit the Spirit. The Spirit was being pulled into the device but the ray wasn't strong enough Rogue moved closer to try to get it in. "Come on damn it!"
The ray got weaker and weaker and weaker and then finally disappeared. Rogue gasped and looked up to the Spirit. She dropped the device and watched as it intact with her body.
Remy screamed 'no' as it attached to her body. As he ran forward, he fell on his butt as there was a force field making sure he didn't get anywhere near Rogue. He even tried to blow it up but nothing worked. Johnny used his powers to get rid of the fields but nothing happened.
Rogue's eyes widened as she felt the spirit go inside of her. She felt it go through her body, all of her cells, her brain, her mind, her heart, every bit of her body getting weaker and weaker and running out of life.
The spirit started to come out of her body and slowly as it did, Rogue fell to the ground. The force field disappeared. Remy immediately ran to Rogue's side, horrified by the sight of her unconscious self. He held her and rocked her back and forward, not caring if the Spirit got him or not. Seeing Rogue suffer was enough for him.
Johnny used his flames to back the Spirit away. He grabbed Remy's trench coat and pulled him away from the unconscious Rogue. Remy kept punching him wanting to go back to Rogue.
"Sorry buddy, but she's not going to wake up to see you cry." said Johnny as he tried to drag him along the ground.
The fire Johnny used to back away the Spirit came through it and Remy watched as it went over Rogue and trying to get towards them. Remy stood up and dodged the spirit. He then ran to the device near the unconscious Rogue and pressed it again.
The Spirit was about to get Johnny who was under it's hypnotic trance when it stayed froze as the ray hit it. Remy charged the device up to give it more power. The spirit started to move back into the device. It then started to use it's trance on Remy. Remy closed his eyes. He then realised the sound of the ray had gon. he opened his eyes to notice it had stopped working again. He charged it up but nothing happened. If the spirit had a face or a sense of humour, it'd defiantly be laughing at him right now.
"Um Johnny ol' boy, a bit o' help 'ere." said Remy as the Spirit came closer to him.
"How about run dumb ass." Johnny ran through the halls leaving Remy, the Spirit and the unconscious Rogue.
"Guess it's you an' moi den Spirit t'ing." The Spirit was about to drain Remy when it stopped. It was like it could hear something…no sense it. It went into the direction Johnny went, and Johnny didn't know where he was going. But Remy knew that that was the direction to the Danger room…

"Bobby, close the doors!" shouted Jubilee and Jean.
"But it's so hot in here, even with the air conditioning and the simulation of a cool day." moaned Bobby.
"Jeez Bobby why don't you think of us for a change and either one get out of the danger room so we can live and you can die, or come in here where you won't get you're life force sucked out of you to bring back Apocalypse." said Jubilee. Bobby gazed into space then looked at Jean and Jubilee.
"I'll go for the second thing." Just as bobby was about to come in, a scream was heard.
"Well that wasn't Rogue, unless she became a man." said Logan.
Fire entered the danger room which scared the X Men half to death. Then Johnny came through…but the Spirit too. It got Johnny and absorbed him. Johnny fell to the ground.
"Oh my god!" shouted Jubilee as the Spirit entered the danger room. "Damn you Bobby for opening the doors!" Jubilee used her 'fireworks' on the Spirit but it went right through it. She did it again and again as it got closer to her. Then it was too close to her to get away. Jubilee gulped, but as it was about to absorb her, Jubilee started to turn into an ice sculpture. The X Men gasped.
But it didin't make any difference, the Spirit went into the ice sculpture and Bobby knew Jubilee was gone.
They backed away and Logan got out his claws as he growled.
"You've done that for the last time." he jumped into the Spirit, but got absorbed in the process. He fell to the ground unconscious.
Bobby and Jean came backing away slowly as the Spirit was. Jean used her telekinesis on it but nothing happened. Then Bobby tried to ice it up but it went right through it. Jean then put a force field around the two of them.
The Spirit went through the force field and absorbed Bobby. Jean screamed and ran as fast as she could out of the danger room as the Spirit absorbed Bobby. She ran upstairs and into her and Scott's room. She crouched down in a little corner and put her knees up against her stomach. She rocked herself back and forward with tears coming down her eyes. This couldn't possibly get any worse…
