+10:00 A.M.+
(Scene opens with Sam sitting on a bench in the shade. He has his chin being supported by his upturned hand which is supported by his elbow propped up on his left knee.) (He looks bummed, but his eyes perk up a little as we see a car pull into the drive.) [It had been but a week since Samuel Guthrie had lost most of his family, but in a way, he was about to start a new one].
(Then from Sam's point of view we see two people get out of the car before Sam says,) "Alex, Lorna, what are you guys doing here...?" "Sam, didn't expect to see you here, I thought that you and X-force were in San Francisco," (Alex says as he and Sam shake hands). "We were until we decided to go our separate ways, at least most of us went our separate way," (Sam says as we see Sam, Alex, and Lorna in the foreground and Tabitha coming outside in the background.)
"Tabitha's here as well, so are you two...", (Lorna says smirking with her eyebrows raised). "Maybe, but..", (Sam starts to say before Tabitha blurts out while running towards them), "Hey Sam, we got a hit, Psylocke picked up War in Europe". "What's going on, what do you," (Alex says looking puzzled as Tabitha comes to a stop next to Sam).
"Apocalypse is alive, and he's gotten himself all new horseman, and after what they've done ah've been itchin for a crack at em," (Sam says pounding his fist in his other hand). "Need any help," (Alex says smiling). "Alex, we're here to see Scott and Jean, not to go gallivanting around the globe," (Lorna says crossing her arms.) "Well right now Scott and Jean aren't here, and who knows when they'll be back, so," (Tabitha says shrugging her shoulders).
"Well since you put it that way, got room for one more," (Alex says smiling and looking at Lorna out of the corner of his eye). "Well it has been awhile since we got some work in, got room for us," (Lorna says putting a stray strand of hair behind her ear.) "From what Warren and Betsy have told us about War we're gonna need all the help we can get," (Sam says turning back towards the mansion.) "Then what are we standing around here for, let's go," (Alex says smiling as he, Tabitha, and Lorna follow Sam back towards the mansion.) (Scene shifts to the hanger bay, Warren and Betsy are prepping the Blackbird to depart). "Okay Betsy, let's do a final check, fuel-med kit- weapons," (Warren says poking his head through the open door of the Blackbird). "Check, check, and check, everything's ready Warren" (Betsy says rolling her eyes)."Good, then once Sam and Tabitha get here we can leave," (Warren says looking out of the plane over his shoulder.) "Yes, where the bloody hell are they," (Betsy says looking kind of angry and turning around in her chair.)
"Hold the plane, we're here," (Tabitha says as she, Sam, Alex, and Lorna come running through the door and towards the Blackbird, Sam and Alex are still pulling their jackets on.) "Alex, Lorna, what are you doing here, I thought," (Warren says with a shocked look on his face.) "It's a long story, one best left for another time, right now we're here to help," (Alex says standing next to Warren). "Well we could certainly use the help, well we'd better get going, so whoever's coming with us get on now, cause this birds ready to fly," (Warren says Warren as he runs up the steps and into the plane)
."Right behind you blue boy," (Tabitha says as she, Alex, Lorna, and Sam follow Warren into the Blackbird.)[With a renewed vigor Archangel, Psylocke, Cannonball, Meltdown, Havok, and Polaris blast off towards an inevitable and unavoidable confrontation with the new horseman of Apocalypse, War].
(Scene shifts to the interior of the Blackbird). [Somewhere over the Atlantic]. (Betsy is flying the plane with Warren in the co-pilot seat, Alex and Lorna are talking to Sam and Tabitha in the middle of the jet). "So how you holding up Sam," (Alex says looking concerned). "Okay ah guess, it still hasn't really sunk in yet that they're really gone, ah keep expectin tah one day wake up and it'll all be a dream and they're not really gone, but ah know they are," (Sam says looking down at the floor sadly as Tabitha puts her hand on his shoulder.)
"I didn't know, I'm so sorry for you Sam," (Lorna says looking very sad). "Thanks, but ah'll be okay, I think, but what I could really use right now..." ,(Sam says trying to sound upbeat before Tabitha breaks in with) "Is to turn Death into a piñata," (Tabitha says smiling). (Alex, Lorna, Sam and Tabitha laugh). "So what's the big picture here Warren, what's really going on," (Lorna asks turning to Warren). "It's simple, the devil has returned, Apocalypse is alive, and he's recruited himself four new horseman, and on top of that he's made an unholy alliance with the Crimson Dawn," (Warren says grimly while turning in his chair to face them.)
"Apocalypse, but how, I thought he was dead and gone," (Lorna says looking worried). "He was, but somehow he's back, and now everybody's fair game," (Warren says crossing his arms). "And we're the last line of defense, right," (Alex says with his head in his left hand and not looking to happy.)"Pretty much, ain't you two glad that you decided to come along with us," (Tabitha says smiling gleefully). "Oh boy," (Alex says sighing and rolling his eyes back in his head). "Heads up people, we're almost there," (Betsy says putting a headset on along with Warren.)
+Cassidy Keep, Ireland+
+12:30 P.M.+
(Scene shifts to Cassidy Keep, it's in the distance). (We do a fly up to the keep as we see a red headed woman, Siryn, walking along a high stone wall). [As she walks along this wall, a wall that she had followed many times during her life, Theresa Rourke-Cassidy's thoughts bring up images of the recent past, of attending a friend's funeral with a friend that she had thought long dead, and her shutting down and pushing him away].
(Scenes show her and Warpath at Deadpool's funeral, then her pulling away from Warpath while he tries to comfort her, then we see him walking towards the sun in the background and her in the foreground with a very sad look on her face, as she turns away because she can't watch him go.) (Then after he disappears from sight we do a close-up on her face, we see her from her hairline to the middle of her nose, she's crying). (Then scene shifts back to her walking along the wall).
Why do I keep pushing him away, simple, because I care for him to much to hurt him, and I'm scared to death that if I tell him my feelings that we'll end up just like me parents, (Siryn thinks as her eyes start to tear up). But by pushing him away I'm hurting him and it's killing me, oh God, what am ah going to do, (she thinks sitting down on a broken section of the wall). (Scene shifts to an aerial view that show Theresa as being far away).
(Next we see a close-up of a pair of eyes, they're mean looking eyes, and in the next close-up it's a mean looking mouth that is smiling wickedly and says,) "Ahh good, fresh meat, just the way I like it", (We pull back to see that it's War and some friends of his of the Crimson Dawn variety, they look hungry and like they've found their next meal). "On my mark, strike", (War says raising his hand before saying), "Now," (As he drops his hand War blasts a large burst at Siryn).
(Scene shifts back to Siryn in which she's starting to stand up as we see her lift her head as the blast hits near her, sending rocks flying like shrapnel and her as well while she says,) "Huh, ahh," (as she gets knocked out of the way and to the ground in pain.)
(Then we see the C.D. warriors swarm around Siryn and we see a few large C.D. warriors, drooling all around her.) "Whoa, mah head," (Siryn says gingerly starting to sit up before she sees the Crimson Dawn warriors around her). "This doesn' look good," (Siryn says looking a little scared). (Then we see a group of C.D. warriors lunge at her, to which she first rolls out of the way and then with an angry and ticked off look on her face she unleashes her sonic scream that blasts five C.D. warriors through the wall.) "Not bad, but completely futile, foolish woman," (War says laughing). "Ah bet ye say that to all the girls," (Siryn says smiling as she rises into the air.)
[Things quickly go from bad to worse]. "Not so fast lasse," (War says grabbing both her feet and ankles). "What are ye," (Siryn starts to say before War throws her into the wall with a big crashing sound.) "Ohh, mah head," (Siryn says as she lifts her head off the ground with a hand on her right temple, there's a little bit of blood there). (Then we see a close- up of Wars shoulder, and somebody is tapping on it). "Huh," (War says turning around.). "Knock, knock," (We see the words as a huge fist hits War and sends him through the wall right over Siryn's head). (Then we see everybody turn to see who hit War).
"Jimmy", (Siryn says as we see a big picture of Warpath looking very angry and ready to fight). "Terry, are you okay," (Warpath says looking concerned). "I think so, but what are ye," (Siryn says rising to her feet). "How dare you," (War growls as he comes roaring back through the hole in the wall causing Siryn to flee by flying up and away from him). (And as the same time we see Warpath yell,) "Terry, look out," (As he starts to move towards War.) "Terr..," (Warpath starts to say before War tackles him).
(The next few scenes are of Warpath fighting War and Siryn fighting the C.D. warriors)"Stupid boy," (War says blocking one of Warpaths punches, then War blasts him back through the wall). "Jimmy," (We see a close-up of Siryn's face, she's very scared and shocked). "You're next little girl," (War says turning his head to sneer at Siryn, there's blood around his mouth.) (We see Siryn from the waist up and she doesn't look to confident).
"Now we end this," (War says taking a step towards her menacingly). (We see a panel with War on one side and Siryn on the other side in a face off). (Then we see two different energy blasts hit at Wars feet, sending him up into the air because of the explosion with War growling,) "Aargh,".
(Scene shifts to a rocky outcropping with a mist blowing around which is clearing.) (As the mist clears we see closest to us Havok looking ready to fight with his powers flaring up.) (A little bit behind and above him is a mad Polaris hovering in the air, powers flaring, Betsy is in the middle looking ready to fight with her psysword, Warren is near her in flight with wings fully extended, Tabitha is beside Betsy and a little bit in front, popping her gum and ready to fight, Sam is on the other side of the panel from Alex and in the air just to the left of Tabitha).
(Alex is saying), "So you're War huh, hmpf," (he says looking unimpressed). "You will die for this," (War says getting to his feet and ready to blast somebody.) "You first," (Warpath says emerging from behind the wall). "You fools, I cannot be defeated, imbeciles, attack them," (War says yelling at the C.D. warriors). (Big battle scenes). (Late in the battle one of the big C.D. warrior's moves to attack Sam whose back is turned).
"Not in this lifetime, bug brain," (Tabitha says blasting a hole through the creature, and she gets showered by its guts to which she replies,) "Oh my gaw...", (Tabitha hurls as Sam looks over his shoulder with a,) "Huh,"( Then we see the remaining C.D. warriors go down so it's just the team and War that are left standing.) "Uh oh buckaroo, looks like it's just you now, better run," (Tabitha says smirking and looking very happy.)
"I run from no one, especially not from inferior beings like you," (War says glaring at the team). "Question, why do all the megalomaniacs have to have a superiority complex," (Tabitha says smiling and crossing her arms as she leans against Sam). "Tab", (Sam says glaring at her but he's not really mad.) "Enough, this ends now," (War says very angrily.) "I couldn't agree more," (Warpath says clasping his hands together and slamming them into Wars face, sending him into the air towards us in the picture and War says,) "Aargh."
(Then we see War hit into the side of a hill, kicking up a lot of dust and dirt). (Warren lands as he says), "Good work James, now if...", (as a weird colored blast of energy comes screaming out of the dirt cloud and is headed straight towards Siryn). "Terry," (Sam yells with a warning look on his face as he starts to blast towards Siryn as Tabitha looks shocked.)"What do ye," (Siryn says as we see a close-up on her face first as she looks shocked and worried, then a close-up on her eyes as they suddenly grow wide in shock and horror.)
"Look out...Ahh," (Warpath says as he jumps in front of the blast and it wholly hits him as Siryn ducks out of the way behind him.) "Jimmy," (Siryn yells out with a pained look on her face as she reacts to the attack as Warpath falls to the ground in front of her.)
(Then we see Siryn try to touch Warpath, but Betsy stops her by saying), "Theresa, don't touch him, he doesn't look so good," (Betsy says with an arm outstretched as if to physically hold Siryn back.) "But," (Siryn says looking sad and wanting to see if Warpath is okay, he looks pale.) "I'll get him," (Lorna says picking Warpath up in a magnetic field and moving him towards the Blackbird.) "Good, now who," (Alex says turning towards the thinning cloud of dust and dirt.)
"Ahh," (Wars angry yell is seen coming from the cloud as through the dust cloud we see his dark shape stand up.) "Get ready," (Warren says as we see Polaris moving Warpaths body up the stairs of the Blackbird while Havok covers her.) "How dare you attack me," (War growls as another figure is seen beside War.) "Ahh, did the big bad War get a boo-boo," (Tabitha says grinning in a mocking way.) "I will kill you for that little girl, what Death started, I will finish," (War says clenching his fists and teeth.)
"But not today, you've had your playtime, and the meat have already seen an example of my power, that's enough for now," (the figure says snickering.) "Who are you," (Sam yells angrily). "I am the masters third horseman, Plague, but unless you want to end up like your big friend over there, you won't try to stop us, we'll meet again," (Plague says starting to teleport away, all of Plague that we can see is bits of black hair that is coming out from under her hood.)
[Meanwhile, inside the Blackbird...]. (Scene shifts to interior of the Blackbird, Warpath is in the temporary medical unit, all hooked up, and Siryn is standing by him, trying not to cry). "Hey Terry, don't worry, we'll get him back to the mansion and Hank'll help him get better, just try to stay calm," (Lorna says with her hand on Siryn's shoulder). "Okay, but what about," (Siryn says wiping away a tear). "Alex and the others will take care of them, for now we have to take care of Warpath," (Lorna says opening a nearby drawer.)
(Scene shifts back outside to see Plague has just completely disappeared)[Meanwhile....]. "You'll regret this day," (War growls as he looks around and realizes he's alone.) "As will you," (Betsy says looking mean and jumping at War ready to strike him down with her psysword.) "I doubt it," (War says snickering as he teleports just as Betsy slashes through him but he's to phased for it to affect him). "Damn him," (Betsy says as her psysword dissipates.) "I hate it when they do that," (Tabitha says pouting).
"Enough Tabitha, everyone back to the Blackbird for immediate extraction," (Warren says launching himself into the air.) "You heard him, let's go," (Alex says turning towards the blackbird.) "Yessuh, Colonel Klink suh, "(Tabitha says in a mock salute, clicking her heels together and with a big smile on her face).
"Just get in the plane Tab," (Sam says grabbing her arm and pulling her towards the plane.) "Ow, hey that hurt," (Tabitha says as she looks mad at Sam as they go up the ladder and into the Blackbird). "You know Warren, I have this funny feeling that this is going to be a long flight home," (Alex says looking worried at Warren). "I know what you mean," (Warren says smiling as they enter the Blackbird and then we see it take off and fly away). [With their wounded ally aboard, the X-men race back to the mansion]. (Scene shifts to the medical area of the mansion, Warpath is unconscious on a bed, with Siryn sitting in a chair by his side, looking sad).
+Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters+
+6:30 P.M.+
"Don't worry Theresa, I was able to counteract the toxin, he'll be fine," (Beast says with a paw on Siryn's shoulder). "Ah know, thank ye Mr. McCoy," (Siryn says meekly). "You're welcome, mostly what he needs right now is rest, but I have other work to do so I'll be in the Danger Room if you need me," (Beast says exiting the room). "Aw Jimmy, what am I going to do with ye, not matter what's happened you've always been there for me, whether I wanted you there or not," (Siryn says brushing a strand of hair off of Warpaths forehead.)
But why is that, why is he always around, simple-he loves me that's why, and the scariest thing about all this is that I feel the same way about him, but why can't I just say it..., (Siryn thinks, swallowing hard as the tears start to well up in her eyes). "Jimmy I, I love you," (Siryn squeaks out before burying her head in her hands as the tears begin to flow freely and as we pull back through the school and see the rest of the team relaxing, Warren and Betsy are sitting on the sofa in the living room and Warren has the remote in one hand and his other arm is around Betsy, who has a folded up stock section of the newspaper in her hand, Alex and Lorna are seen talking to Scott and Jean in the kitchen, and then Sam and Tabitha are seen walking by the pond, arm in arm, and they're both smiling.) [With the roster now complete, the team awaits the next challenge]

"Knock, knock," (We see the words as a huge fist hits War and sends him through the wall right over Siryn's head). (Then we see everybody turn to see who hit War).
"Jimmy", (Siryn says as we see a big picture of Warpath looking very angry and ready to fight). "Terry, are you okay," (Warpath says looking concerned).

"How dare you," (War growls as he comes roaring back through the hole in the wall causing Siryn to flee by flying up and away from him).

(Scene shifts to a rocky outcropping with a mist blowing around which is clearing.) (As the mist clears we see closest to us Havok looking ready to fight with his powers flaring up.) (A little bit behind and above him is a mad Polaris hovering in the air, powers flaring, Betsy is in the middle looking ready to fight with her psysword, Warren is near her in flight with wings fully extended, Tabitha is beside Betsy and a little bit in front, popping her gum and ready to fight, Sam is on the other side of the panel from Alex and in the air just to the left of Tabitha).

(Warren lands as he says), "Good work James, now if...", (as a weird colored blast of energy comes screaming out of the dirt cloud and is headed straight towards Siryn). "Terry," (Sam yells with a warning look on his face as he starts to blast towards Siryn as Tabitha looks shocked.)"What do ye," (Siryn says as we see a close-up on her face first as she looks shocked and worried, then a close-up on her eyes as they suddenly grow wide in shock and horror.)
"Look out...Ahh," (Warpath says as he jumps in front of the blast and it wholly hits him as Siryn ducks out of the way behind him.) "Jimmy," (Siryn yells out with a pained look on her face as she reacts to the attack as Warpath falls to the ground in front of her.)
(Then we see Siryn try to touch Warpath, but Betsy stops her by saying), "Theresa, don't touch him, he doesn't look so good," (Betsy says with an arm outstretched as if to physically hold Siryn back.) "But," (Siryn says looking sad and wanting to see if Warpath is okay, he looks pale.) "I'll get him," (Lorna says picking Warpath up in a magnetic field and moving him towards the Blackbird.) "Good, now who," (Alex says turning towards the thinning cloud of dust and dirt.)
"Ahh," (Wars angry yell is seen coming from the cloud as through the dust cloud we see his dark shape stand up.) "Get ready," (Warren says as we see Polaris moving Warpaths body up the stairs of the Blackbird while Havok covers her.) "How dare you attack me," (War growls as another figure is seen beside War.) "Ahh, did the big bad War get a boo-boo," (Tabitha says grinning in a mocking way.) "I will kill you for that little girl, what Death started, I will finish," (War says clenching his fists and teeth.)
"But not today, you've had your playtime, and the meat have already seen an example of my power, that's enough for now," (the figure says snickering.) "Who are you," (Sam yells angrily). "I am the masters third horseman, Plague, but unless you want to end up like your big friend over there, you won't try to stop us, we'll meet again," (Plague says starting to teleport away, all of Plague that we can see is bits of black hair that is coming out from under her hood.)
[Meanwhile, inside the Blackbird...]. (Scene shifts to interior of the Blackbird, Warpath is in the temporary medical unit, all hooked up, and Siryn is standing by him, trying not to cry). "Hey Terry, don't worry, we'll get him back to the mansion and Hank'll help him get better, just try to stay calm," (Lorna says with her hand on Siryn's shoulder). "Okay, but what about," (Siryn says wiping away a tear). "Alex and the others will take care of them, for now we have to take care of Warpath," (Lorna says opening a nearby drawer.)
(Scene shifts back outside to see Plague has just completely disappeared)[Meanwhile....]. "You'll regret this day," (War growls as he looks around and realizes he's alone.) "As will you," (Betsy says looking mean and jumping at War ready to strike him down with her psysword.) "I doubt it," (War says snickering as he teleports just as Betsy slashes through him but he's to phased for it to affect him). "Damn him," (Betsy says as her psysword dissipates.) "I hate it when they do that," (Tabitha says pouting).
"Enough Tabitha, everyone back to the Blackbird for immediate extraction," (Warren says launching himself into the air.) "You heard him, let's go," (Alex says turning towards the blackbird.) "Yessuh, Colonel Klink suh, "(Tabitha says in a mock salute, clicking her heels together and with a big smile on her face).
"Just get in the plane Tab," (Sam says grabbing her arm and pulling her towards the plane.) "Ow, hey that hurt," (Tabitha says as she looks mad at Sam as they go up the ladder and into the Blackbird). "You know Warren, I have this funny feeling that this is going to be a long flight home," (Alex says looking worried at Warren). "I know what you mean," (Warren says smiling as they enter the Blackbird and then we see it take off and fly away). [With their wounded ally aboard, the X-men race back to the mansion]. (Scene shifts to the medical area of the mansion, Warpath is unconscious on a bed, with Siryn sitting in a chair by his side, looking sad).
+Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters+
+6:30 P.M.+
"Don't worry Theresa, I was able to counteract the toxin, he'll be fine," (Beast says with a paw on Siryn's shoulder). "Ah know, thank ye Mr. McCoy," (Siryn says meekly). "You're welcome, mostly what he needs right now is rest, but I have other work to do so I'll be in the Danger Room if you need me," (Beast says exiting the room). "Aw Jimmy, what am I going to do with ye, not matter what's happened you've always been there for me, whether I wanted you there or not," (Siryn says brushing a strand of hair off of Warpaths forehead.)
But why is that, why is he always around, simple-he loves me that's why, and the scariest thing about all this is that I feel the same way about him, but why can't I just say it..., (Siryn thinks, swallowing hard as the tears start to well up in her eyes). "Jimmy I, I love you," (Siryn squeaks out before burying her head in her hands as the tears begin to flow freely and as we pull back through the school and see the rest of the team relaxing, Warren and Betsy are sitting on the sofa in the living room and Warren has the remote in one hand and his other arm is around Betsy, who has a folded up stock section of the newspaper in her hand, Alex and Lorna are seen talking to Scott and Jean in the kitchen, and then Sam and Tabitha are seen walking by the pond, arm in arm, and they're both smiling.) [With the roster now complete, the team awaits the next challenge]
