Sorry this is a bit late and Please don't kill me. I beat X-Men Legends 2 so my attention is off that now. It was such a lovely little game.
Disclaimer: I do own any of the characters in here, if I did they would all stop DYING in the comics.
At the Hotel
Rogue stood in the middle of the room, staring blankly ahead of her. She did not flinch away when the Shadow King came close and wrapped an arm around her waist. "This is perfect." He smiled as he tilted her chin.
"I had dreamed of escaping from the prison Xavier put me in." He laughed. "Now I can have my revenge on that foolish old man. I really should send a thank you card to Apoc-" He began to say when the phone began to ring. The Shadow King looked over at the phone. A few seconds later, it caught on fire.
"These new powers are quite useful." He mused to himself before he turned his attention back to Rogue.
"Now for you, my dear. I've had plans forming in my mind since Malice walked through that door with you. You would make an excellent second in command, right by my side when I destroy Xavier and his little team. I can tell you will have no problems taking them down. Or better yet, have them bow down before their new king and queen." He smiled down at Rogue as he kissed her.
X-Mansion
Gambit quickly ducked as Angel flew at him and the winged mutant hit the wall. Warren turned and made another attempt to grab the Cajun.
"What de hell is y'r problem, homme?" Remy yelled as he pulled out his bo staff and extended it. He used the metal staff to block Warren from attacking him again.
"Like you don't know. You and your little buddies ripped my wings off!" Warren shouted as he flew over Remy and kicked the Cajun in the back.
"Seriously, I don' know what de hell y' talkin' about. I don' wanna hurt y', but y' keep dis up, I'll take y' down." Remy told him as he got to his feet. He didn't want to fight in the mansion. 'Might wanna take de second choice. Dere are too many chilie's in here. De last thing dey need to see is a fight.' He thought to himself as he glanced over at a shaking Sarah, who was hiding under a table.
"In those tunnels, I was down there with some colleagues. All of a sudden, we were attacked by a bunch of savages you lead!" Warren yelled as he flew at Remy again. Before the Cajun could block or dodge the attack, Warren grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pinned him against the wall.
Remy now knew what this man was talking about and painful memories soon started to resurface again. He had blamed himself for the Massacre, even though it was Sinister's fault. He hadn't killed anyone in the tunnels and tried to stop the Marauders. "Listen, homme-" Remy began to say, but Warren cut him off.
"-DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK TO ME! I SWORE IF I EVER FOUND THE PERSON WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR MY WINGS, I WOULD KILL THEM!" Warren shouted as he threw Remy.
Remy fell to the ground as soon as he hit the door. 'Mon Dieu, my back hurts.' He thought to himself. He could feel a cut on the side of his face as a streak of blood ran down his face and hit the floor.
Warren started walking toward him and he knew that he would have to act fast. He felt bad for this man losing his wings, but there was no way he was going to let Warren kill him. Remy slowly started getting to his feet.
"You're going to-" Warren began to say when he felt someone kick him in the back of the leg. He turned around to see the little girl that was standing next to Gambit when he walked in.
"Leave Remy alone. He didn't do anything to you!" Sarah demanded as she stomped on his foot. Her small feet didn't really hurt him.
"Go away, kid. This doesn't concern you." Warren told Sarah as he pushed her away.
"Yes it does!" Sarah yelled at him just as Kurt bamfed into the room just as Bobby and Lorna came down the stairs. "I was there when the bad people killed my family and friends. Remy is the only family I have and I won't let you hurt him!" She told him as she crossed her arms and went over to stand next to Remy.
"Kid, he is the one responsible for your family being dead. He was the one that lead those killers into your home." Warren looked down at Sarah.
"He also is the one that saved me from being killed. Otherwise, I would be with Mommy and Daddy right now." Sarah said as tears started forming in her eyes. "They both wanted me to live and I wanted to make them happy by doing it. I ran away from the bad people, but one found me an was going to do the same thing he did to my parents. Remy saved me and took me away from that." Sarah told him as she wiped away a tear.
Warren saw two figures walk over to stand next to Remy also. "If you want to blame Gambit, I guess you're going to blame me as well?" Lorna asked as she looked at Warren. "I was there with the Marauders when they entered the tunnels."
"You don't need to stand up for him and make up stories. I heard you crystal clear the first time. He lead those savages into the tunnels where they ripped off my wings!" Warren pointed angrily at Gambit.
"Do you even care about the other people that died or only about your wings?" Bobby asked Warren. The two of them had gotten along very well when Warren would visit the mansion and didn't have a problem talking to him. Bobby also knew that Lorna felt responsible for the Massacre as well. He hadn't heard Gambit's version of it, but from what Rogue had told him,. The man blamed himself entirely for those deaths.
"Of course I care about the others that died. I think that their killer should have the same fate." Warren told Bobby as he glared at Remy.
"Mein freund, please keep your voice down. Zere are children upstairs studying and might over hear something zey shouldn't." Kurt asked Warren politely.
"Fine, if pigeon boy wants to settle somethin' with moi, we'll do it out back." Remy suggested. Warren hesitated for a second as he thought it over.
"I have to find Betsy right now, you better stay out of my way around here, or else you will end up like those people you killed." He warned as he left the room.
"Are you alright, Remy?" Sarah asked as she pulled on his duster.
"Oui, petit. Gambit be fine." He smiled down at her. He then turned to the two people beside him. "Y' know dat none of dat was y'r fault. Y' didn' need to get involved." Remy said to Lorna.
"I saw the entire massacre and a lot of those mutants died by my hands." She stated. She felt Bobby wrap an arm around her shoulder and bring her close.
"That was Malice's fault, not yours. Besides, she is gone now. That's good, right? Bobby looked down at Lorna.
"Non, she ain'." Remy murmured. The couple looked at him in shock.
"What do you mean she isn't?" Lorna asked a bit terrified. 'I was right, I knew I had felt her.' She thought to herself.
"She took over Rogue when we were out." He replied in a low voice. "Gotta ask de Professor if he can track her." Remy told them as he left to find Xavier.
Hours Later
Logan, Ororo, Wanda, and John returned home and headed straight for the War Room. They were alerted there was news about Rogue. As they entered the room and took a seat, Logan noted to himself that Gambit looked completely unharmed.
"Thank you all for coming. As you know by now, Rogue has been missing for the last day.. Gambit explained to me earlier that Malice took control over her mind. I used Cerebro to track her down. While I was able to find her, I also discovered she is not alone." The Professor explained.
"Who was with her?" Cyclops asked.
"I recognized the mind that was in there, but didn't believe it. Years ago, as some of you know, I had locked away a psyche parasite named The Shadow King. I am afraid he has escaped and taken over a mind of the young man. I believe Malice was helping him, but I am unsure. When I searched through Rogue's mind, I found no trace of Malice, but parts of the Shadow King were readily apparent instead." Xavier told the group.
Around the room, different people were having emotional reactions. Kitty and Jubilee looked over at each other worried. Bobby gave Lorna's hand a comforting squeeze as they listened on. Storm, Nightcrawler, Angel, Psylocke, and Beast were all sorting out the new information. As for Gambit, he was staring straight at the table in deep thought.
"I am afraid he has taken control over her mind. We must track them down and bring-" The Professor began to explain when he was cut off.
"-Intruder activity in Quadrant Six, Sector C." Cerebro announced to the group. Remy looked up from the table and looked at the ceiling.
"Can you try dat in English?" Gambit asked the computer. He wasn't the only one who was confused by what Cerebro said. The only one who understood what was spoken was Scott.
"That was English." Cerebro responded.
"It means someone in the front yard." Scott explained as he got up from his seat. The Professor stopped them before they all exited the War Room.
"Wait, I can sense it is them. Please be careful. I will be joining to face off against the Shadow King. Please try to help Rogue. I feel there is something different about her." Xavier said to them.
End of Chapter 12
Warren seemed like a jerk in here I know, but it won't be for the entire story. In fact it was only for this chapter.
WolvGambit Le Diable Blanc: glad ya found it interesting. Thanks for reviewing
loneraven: haha, who knows, I might add a Marrow and Evan fight in here somewhere. And yup, well sorta, it is a part of David Haller, kinda going with the evo version cause I dunt understand the comic one, so that is, well you will see soon. Thanks for reviewing
Roguechere: Warren doesn't understand the situation correctly, once it is explained to him, he will understand a bit more. As for who the Shadow King is controling, it is not Proteus, he is Xaviers son in Ultimate, and im kinda mad at Ultimate right now. I'm using his other son, Mr split personality. No need to worry, not a OC, I don't really get along too well with OC. Thanks for reviewing
firestorm13: no need to worry about Gambit, he can look after himself. As for Rogue, she will be back to her old self in . . . a bit. And I think in the next chapter or the next I'll let Jean decide who she really loves, but as a hint, the person u are rooting for is who she chooses. Thanks for reviewing
enchantedlight: glad ya enjoyed the last chapter :) Thanks for reviewing
bored247: haha, hope ya were able ta get that done in time. Glad ya enjoyed the last chapter. Thanks for reviewing
Miss Elisa Tenant: glad ya enjoyed UV and love UA :) your review inspired me to write, sorry this chapter took so long, I promise I will get the next up a lot faster. With the stab part, I didn't want Rogue to think Remy would blame her for it (since she could see everything that was going on), so I thought him saying that would help a bit, she'll still feel a bit guilty over that, and what happened with Carol. Next chapter there is plenty more evil Rogue, and hot Remy! Thanks for reviewing
dreamer's dawn: but I love being mean and putting cliffhangers in stories, it makes it more exciting. There is a chapter I've been planning for a while that is all cliffhanger, but that isn't for quite some time. Thanks for reviewing
sakura5tar: hehe, well its gonna be a while until I can answer all of the things in here. The next few chapters are more action/drama filled. Thanks for reviewing
Next Chapter: the X-Men go against the Shadow King and Rogue. I promise the next chapter will be longer than this.
