Here is another chapter, were nearing the end of the story (nearly…kinda…okay not really nearing but it's getting closer with each chapter) Thanks for the reviews again (Stray Phoenix mainly…only…does anyone else read this?)

Brother Vs Brother

"What in Tartarus are you doing Alex?" asked Scott as he rolled to his feet and listened intently to his brothers heavy breathing, the others were unconscious including Jean which meant that he was once again blind but it didn't bother him because that is when he felt most alert.

"I'm making a stand Scott" said Alex as he strode forward flanked by Wanda and Rahne who stood silently.

"A stand against what?" asked Scot as he zoned in on the foot steps and stood to his full height.

"Lets start with Tyranny" said Alex as he brushed his blonde locks from his face.

"Please Alex start at the beginning tell me what you're talking about" said Scott as he stepped towards his brother.

"Tyranny of the gods or one god in particular. Rahne and I had a conversation with Wanda and she made us see something. Scott what has our dream always been?" asked Alex. "I'll tell you since the day that mom died we looked after the farm, the entire point of our lives was to tend the farm. It was a good life, we enjoyed it, it was our lives and there is nothing wrong with that but then the god Xavier comes to us and sets us some quest."

"Alex this quest is the right thing to do and you know it" said Scott as he turned his head as his brother walked round him in circles.

"Do I Scott? Tell me why is it right that we follow the orders of a god who wants us to remain in poverty hiding from our fellow man or do we follow the god who has asked for no sacrifices, no quests and wants us to assume our rightful places?" asked Alex as he placed his hand on the shoulder of Scott.

Scott moved his shoulder away from Alex quickly "Alex I don't like what you're saying and I will have no part of whatever stupid idea you've got in your head."

"My idea isn't stupid Scott, we will round up those witch breed loyal to Magneto and take our rightful place as lords" said Alex as he looked at Rahne and smiled "It's the only way if we follow Xavier's path we will surely die and I cant let that happen." Alex walked away from Scott back towards Wanda and Rahne.

"What are you doing Alex, he is rounding up the witch breed to face our lord he must be destroyed" said Wanda as she pleaded with the blonde man.

"NO! He is my brother and even though he walks the path of a fool now, one day he will realise we are right and then Magneto will accept him by his side…till that day brother goodbye."

…

"We should have taken them out when we had the chance" said Wanda as they walked down the trail towards the temple of flame where the god Pyro resided.

"No! Wanda they are my friends and my family, they will come around eventually if only they would have listened like Rahne and I did which they'll have too once we've destroyed Xavier, then they'll see Magneto was right" said Alex as he nodded and held his hand out towards Rahne.

"Maybe we should go back and try talking to them" said Rahne as she embraced Alex's hand.

"That wouldn't work" said Alex as he shook his head sadly and looked at his feet.

"Well maybe…" said Rahne before she was cut off by an icy stare from Wanda which sent shivers up her spine as Wanda's eyes glowed a weak blue colour.

"maybe you'd like to turn into your wolf form and scout around" smiled Wanda as Rahne transformed and she twisted her arm to link Alex and they walked side by side as Rahne sniffed the floor.

A sudden blast of wind whistled past the two as a pale man dressed in green robes stood before them, he wore a dish like helmet which had small wings on it "Took you long enough sis" smiled the boy as he zipped over and leaned on Wanda's shoulder "I've been waiting for a whole thirteen minutes…do you realise how long that is to someone whose heart beats 138 times in a second, anyway enough time wasted the temple is just a couple of minutes ahead" said Pietro as he zipped away and then reappeared again second later "Don't worry sis I meant your minutes distance."

…

"What was that about Scott?" growled Spyke as he pummelled the ground with his fists and fired some flaming spikes into the air to quell his anger.

"Increase the peace Spyke mein freund" said Kurt as he bounce over towards the bony teenager.

"I'll increase the pieces you're in if you don't quit it with the live and let live stuff elf" growled Spyke as he cast a glance at Kurt.

"I may be a priest but I am a warrior priest and I will not stand another threat mein freund" growled Kurt as he limbered up for a fight.

"Bring it on fuzzy" growled Spyke again as he made several spikes pierce his skin, the two rushed together before suddenly being flung apart and hovering in mid air.

"If you don't calm down I'll make both of you think you're sheep…male sheep that like each others company a little too much, if you get my meaning" grinned Jean as she lowered the two down and kneeled to put her arm around Scott.

"You okay?" asked Jean as she rubbed his shoulder.

"Yeah Alex can be a bit misguided sometimes but it just feels strange to argue with him, since mom died we've been looking after each other and haven't been separated for more then a day" said Scott with a weak smile to cover his emotions.

"There are some advantages of being alone" smiled Jean telepathically as she stimulated Scott's pleasure centres.

"I think we should set up camp here" said Scott with a smile "me and Jean will go find fire wood…it doesn't look like there's much around though so we may be a bit late." With that said the two hurried towards the woods.

"I thought he couldn't see?" said Kurt with a confused look at Spyke.

"You really are a priest aren't you?" laughed Spyke at the elf.

…

"Well, well, well looks like the human candle and little lightning had a sleep over" smiled Pietro as he Wanda, Rahne and Alex stood looking at Bezerker the god of thunder and Pyro.

"Silence messenger before I show you that you can't move as fast as my bolts" scowled Bezerker as he charged his hand.

"Or my flame" laughed Pyro as a beam of flames shot out towards the teens before stopping just short and returning to where it started.

"Enough of these stupid games" yelled Wanda "We have a proposition."

"Join us with your powers and we together along with Magneto will beat the forces of Xavier and rise up to our true positions unopposed" said Alex as he stared at the two gods, they looked back at him blankly.

"Could you come a little closer?" asked Pyro with a smile.

"And could you repeat that again?" asked Bezerker with a shrug, Alex nodded and moved a little closer before he began to speak.

"Join us with your powers and we together along with Magneto will beat the forces of Xavier and rise up to our true positions unopposed" he said with a bemused look.

"Okay lets go" said Bezerker which sent Pyro into hysterical laughter.

"What?" said Alex as he looked at the gods and then at his companions.

"The way I understood it is we had to complete a task for you" said Rahne as she stepped forward.

"You did I asked him to step forward" said Pyro with a devious smile.

"I asked you to repeat your first comment" smiled Bezerker.

"It was my idea" laughed Pietro as he ran over to the gods and put his arms round them before zipping back.

"We want to help Magneto why would we set you a difficult task" shrugged Bezerker.

…

"So what do you think we should do next?" asked jean as she lay naked in Scotts arms surrounded by trees.

"We should head to the temples of Frost and Magma, they're the gods most likely to join us" said Scott with a serious nod.

"That will take us close to Terragon's territory should we not try to recruit him?" asked Jean hopefully.

"Jean you know just as well as I do that he supports Magneto and would never allow us to pass his test" said Scott with a shake of his head.

There was a long silence before Scott spoke "Jean I know I've only known you a short time but I want you to know…just in case we don't make it through the battle…I love you."

"I love you too" said Jean as she moved closer to Scott and the two began to kiss.
