Here's a new chapter, sorry it took longer then usual I've been really busy lately.
The Gods, the witch and the Sunspot
A giant magnificent hall sat with giant stained glass windows all around the outside, the sun beat through them casting a range of colours across the room, a giant table sat in the centre surrounded by giant chairs.
Several people sat in some of the chairs and waited quietly for the rest of their number. The younger of their number always believed in a stylish entrance. The woman with white hair gazed distastefully as billowing clouds of mist seemed to appear out of the mouth's of her companions as the vapour in their breath froze and pulled itself together in the form of a young man.
"Best entrance ever?" said Frost the god of ice, Storm rolled her eyes and pointed towards the chair that was his opposite from Terragon, Pyro and Bezerker. The two seats that flanked his side were empty.
The earth rumbled and Storm cast a glance towards Terragon who shrugged his shoulders and brushed his brown hair from his eyes, Storm as the elder of the meeting gods was in charge of maintaining order. The floor cracked and a spew of Lava spewed into the air in a minor volcano, when the lave subsided a girl made of Magma stood in the centre of the crater.
"You have out done me again my love" smiled Frost as he held out his icy hand to the fiery woman which caused a billowing of steam. Storm glared at the younger generation distastefully as they waited for the final god to appear. Sunlight exploded through the building as a dark black shape appeared before them.
"You're late" grumbled Storm to Sol as he took his seat.
"I am never late, I arrive when I mean to" smiled the sun god as he stared at the white haired goddess.
"We have come together today to discuss the war between Xavier and Magneto" said Storm as she stood to face the other gods "It always saddens me to see trouble between us gods especially when it is between my fellow elder gods, we have came here today to decide what we should do."
"We should follow Magneto, he want what is best for us" yelled Pyro as he leaned forward on the table.
"Magneto is foolish, you cannot forget our obligation to the mortals who follow us" said Frost as he sat forward to argue with his fiery counterpart.
"We owe them nothing…" began Bezerker before he was cut off by a bolt of lightning from Storm, he growled at her as he had never liked her using the powers which were his by right.
"It is my personal belief that the rest of us gods should not become involved in any difficulties they have with one another, let their witch breed and followers follow them into battle" said Storm as she scanned the group with her eyes.
"I understand that Xavier's witch breed visited you Storm and not only did you give them your minion but offered them your own services" growled Terragon at Storm's double standards.
"They completed a task for me and I as such am bound to follow their requests…If you must I advise you do the same thing, any witch breed who ask your services and complete a task for you, you offer your services whether they be of Xavier's or Magneto's."
The gods nodded their approval of the idea and departed.
…
"I'm still not sure about this Alex" said Rahne as she climbed over a crumbling log to catch up with her boyfriend.
"We'll be fine, Scott and the others are going to continue to the town further along the path where the temple of Sol stands while we go into the woods and try to convince the Scarlet witch to join our quest" said Alex as he blasted a bush out of the path.
"I just thought we should stick together" said Rahne as she snaked her arm around Alex's.
"This way is quicker then if we went to Sol and then back or vice versa, this shouldn't be so hard and even if she is Witch breed like Kurt says the two of us should be able to handle her if she causes any problems" smiled Alex as he destroyed a large rock.
…
"Great Sol we come to ask for your help in our coming battle" said Nightcrawler as he bowed before the throne in Sol's inner chamber which was bathed in burning sunlight.
"I would like to help Kurt but my hands are bound by god law to not get involved unless you help me first of all" said Sol as he stared at the blue furred demon. "I would greatly like to help but the only problem is I'm just too good, my people have no needs, they're happy and I am in need of no help."
"My lord!" cried a man as the doors to the building burst open and a man hurled himself at the feet of Sol "Pyro has set the harvest ablaze because the farmers refused to give him a sacrifice as he passed by and Terragon is destroying the city."
"It looks like you have a quest my friend…protect my city and my people and I shall see Pyro from my land before returning to deal with Terragon" said Sol as he glowed with energy and rose into the air to deal with his fellow god.
…
"Is that her?" asked Rahne as she lay low on the ground looking at a woman with long dark hair who stood in the clearing meditating.
"I guess it is" said Alex as he raised to his knees.
"I know you are there" said the girl in a clear loud voice.
Alex and Rahne looked at one another before slowly standing to their feet and stepping into the clearing.
"Why have you ventured into my forest?" asked the woman as she opened her eyes and fixed Alex with a icy stare, he felt tingles along his spine as he stared at the woman.
"We have come to ask for your allegiance against Magneto in an upcoming war of the gods" said Alex as he walked closer the witch.
"I'm sorry I can't do that, my father would destroy me if I opposed him" said the witch as she began to stand to her feet.
"You are Magneto's daughter?" asked Alex, shocked by what he had just heard he could barely move despite the fact Rahne was pulling on his arm.
"In that case were wasting our time…come on Alex" said Rahne as she gave another pull.
"Why do you oppose my father?" asked the girl as she stood still fixing her eyes on Alex and not letting Rahne distract her.
"The high god Xavier has set us a quest to unite the Witch breed against your father who seeks to rule the mortal race" said Alex as the truth seemed to simply spill from his mouth as he spoke.
"Why would you side with a god who hates you?" asked the girl as she patted a log with her hand to show Rahne and Alex to sit down "Let me explain something to the two of you."
…
"This is the land of Sol, what are you doing here? Why attack these people" yelled Jean as she slammed some rubble into Terragon but he managed to get a wall of dirt in place as not to get hurt.
"I am passing through to my own land and who are you to question a god" laughed Terragon back as his eyes rolled back causing the floor to shake beneath the feet of Scott who stumbled and blasted Jean from the air.
Kurt bamfed a couple of kids away from flying rubble caused by the shake as Spyke held up a wall which threatened a family.
"I'm finishing this" said Jean as her eyes glowed with fire, she blasted tarragon into the air and froze him in place with her powers before she placed her hands on her head.
"Can you hear me god…are you scared…you can feel the power can't you?…you feel the Phoenix" said Jean telepathically to the god whose eyes widened with terror before he crumpled to the floor.
"Everyone is safe…" said Kurt as he bamfed in next to Jean "…by the gods what happened here?"
"I shut of his mind, he'll be alright by tomorrow although he probably wont feel like causing any earthquakes for a while" smiled Jean.
The heroes stood looking at the destruction that had been caused during Terragon's attack when suddenly they felt the heat rise greatly. A Phoenix flew high over the city, Jean's heart skipped a few beats as she recognised something within herself stirring at the sight. The bird dived and grabbed tarragon up in it's talons, it was then that the heroes noticed Pyro flying on the back of the magnificent bird, as it took off again Sol landed.
"They will not return soon…are my people safe?" asked Sol as he cast a glance around at the destruction.
"There are some injuries but not many and none are serious" said Kurt as he stared up at the god.
"You have my allegiance witch breed but I must leave you now to help my people rebuild" said Sol as he rose into the air again.
"Thank you we shall not forget this" said Spyke as they turned to leave the city towards the far end of the woods.
…
The group could see Alex and Rahne with a third figure as they cleared a line of trees "I take it your quest went well" said Spyke with a smile as he lokoed at the three, Alex turned with a sneer on his face and unleashed a giant wave of energy which sent the others flying backwards and Scott to one knee, he and Alex's power usually cancelled each other out but with such a massive blast Scott felt a little overloaded.
"We need to talk brother" said Alex as he stepped forward charging his hand with energy.
