Somewhere in Egypt
We open between towns on a train headed to Cairo. There we find the men known as Bullseye and Scorpion sitting in one of the cabins. Bullseye holds up some object in his hands.
"There all taken care of," says Bullseye. "In my hands I hold the heart of Apocalypse."
"That thing was really his heart," asks the Scorpion. "It doesn't look right."
"Well, he was mutant right," replies Bullseye. "It figures it is weird, all those freaks are. To think they started popping up in ancient Egyptian times and we didn't know till now."
"So, what does Kingpin want it for," asks Scorpion. "It must be important if he wants it."
"I hear it has some sort of power, but I don't know what," says Bullseye. "Once we get to Cairo we'll contact Fisk."
In the cabin across from them an Asian man sits in his seat looking at the two. He smirks.
Outside above the train a helicopter moves in on the train. A ladder falls down. "Come on Creed hurry it up," says Deathstrike.
"I don't need no ladder to get to the train," yells Sabretooth.
Sabretooth jumps from the helicopter and lands on the roof of the train. "Show off," mutters Deathstrike.
Lady Deathstrike climbs down the ladder and then hops off to get to the top of the train. "The Kingpin's lackeys are in this section of the train. Let's get the heart and get out."
"Yeah, yeah," sighs Sabretooth.
A Couple of Hours Ago
Logan sits in the pilot's seat of the Blackbird.
Logan, I am mentally inputting the information to fly the Blackbird into your mind.
Go ahead.
Using their minds Logan and Professor Xavier communicate with each other. The Professor gives Logan the information he needs to fly the Blackbird.
You have all you need to know.
Thanks. I'll bring it back in one piece.
Be sure that you do.
Logan, now in the guise of Wolverine, hits the switches that need for lift off. Above on the school grounds the basketball court opens up and the Blackbird flies out. "Hope no one was on that court," says Logan.
The jet flies off toward Egypt.
Back to Present in Cairo
Scorpion and Bullseye sit in their cabin unaware of those above the train coming in. Sabretooth and Lady Deathstrike are now in the train and heading for the cabin with Apocalypse's heart.
"Hope they have something decent to eat over there," says Scorpion. "Running around in that tomb I really worked up an appetite."
"Well, maybe if you were concentrating to our surroundings you wouldn't have this problem," says Bullseye.
"What do you expect from me," asks Scorpion. "I'm an assassin for hire, not an archeologist."
"Oh, shut up," says Bullseye.
The door to the cabin is forced open by Sabretooth. He steps in.
"What the hell…," says Bullseye, but is interrupted when Lady Deathstrike puts her claws to his neck.
"Where is the heart of Apocalypse," asks Lady Deathstrike.
"What are you talking about," asks Bullseye
"Don't play us, we know you have it," says Deathstrike.
Scorpion lashes out his tail, but it's caught by Sabretooth.
"Huh," mutters Scorpion.
"Nice tail," says Sabretooth. "I wonder if you can grow another one."
"You can pretend no longer," says Deathstrike. "He's shown us his costume, which means you are the ones Kingpin sent out. Now hand it over or you will lose your own heart."
"It's in the bag up there," says Scorpion.
Bullseye rolls his eyes, "Shut up you idiot."
Sabretooth grabs the bag that holds the heart. "I got it," says Sabretooth.
"Good," says Deathstrike.
Lady Deathstrike throws Bullseye into the wall of the cabin and his head hits the window shattering it. Sabretooth slashes at Scorpion. The two of them leave the train while Bullseye and Scorpion are down. On top of the train, Sabretooth and Lady Deathstrike watch as the helicopter gets closer to the train.
"There's our ride," says Deathstrike.
"Hold it, you're not going anywhere," says Wolverine from behind.
"Well look who it is," says Sabretooth. "I never thought I'd see you again, runt."
"Oh, yeah," says Wolverine. "So long as I'm alive you will never see the end of me."
"Such a dramatic moment," laughs Sabretooth. "Well Oyama, it looks like our flight will be delayed."
"What did you do with their bodies," asks Wolverine.
"Who's bodies," asks Sabretooth. "Oh, your family… Now I don't remember…"
"Urr," mutters Wolverine.
"Well, what are you gonna do to make us tell you," asks Sabretooth.
Lady Deathstrike watches as Sabretooth angers Wolverine.
"You fool," says Deathstrike. "This is not a place to start a fight."
"Come on don't tell me you're scared," says Sabretooth.
SNIKT!
"There's no backing away from this," says Wolverine. "You had this coming."
Sabretooth charges at Wolverine. He takes a swipe with his claws and Wolverine leaps over him to dodge. Wolverine turns slightly and hits Sabretooth with the back of his fist, hitting the side of his head. Then Wolverine turns in the other direction and kicks Sabretooth on the side of his body.
"Raahhh," growls Sabretooth.
Wolverine and Sabretooth turn to face each other.
"What's with the yellow spandex," asks Sabretooth. "You look like a joke."
Wolverine and Sabretooth begin to charge at each other, but are stopped when acid lands in front of them. The Scorpion swings his tail at Sabretooth. Lady Deathstrike turns and Bullseye throws a ninja star at her. Deathstrike extends her claws and uses them to slash the star in two. Wolverine watches as they all fight.
"What the hell is going on here," says Wolverine.
Sabretooth hits Scorpion with his right fist and Scorpion come back by swinging his tail again. Bullseye throws many stars at Deathstrike and she slashes at every one of them. While swinging his tail, Scorpion manages to get the bag out of Sabretooth's hand. It falls to the side.
"They after that bag," says Wolverine. "There must be something of value in it."
While everyone is occupied the man from the cabin across from Scorpion and Bullseye's, grabs the bag.
"Hey let go of that bag," says Bullseye.
"Enjoy your little battle, for now the heart of Apocalypse belongs to the Silver Samurai," he says.
"Heart of Apocalypse," questions Wolverine.
"Yes, this object has great power and now it belongs to me," says the Silver Samurai. "Once I learn to wield it the world will then belong to me as well."
"Get it," yell all the villains.
Wolverine watches in confusion as everyone else goes after the bag. Silver Samurai pulls a small object out of his pocket and throws it to the ground, it explodes and a cloud of smoke comes from it. As the others move toward the cloud of smoke they find that the Samurai has vanished.
"He's gone," says Deathstrike.
"You fools how dare you interfere with our plans," says Bullseye.
The four of them argue forgetting that Wolverine is even with them.
Wolverine's Thoughts: This heart must be really powerful if they all want it. What should I do? Continue fighting Sabretooth and Deathstrike? Or should I go after this Silver Samurai and prevent him from gaining power and taking over the world. Well, like I said before as long as I live I will be after these two for my revenge, but now there are more important things. I have to contact Xavier and find about what this thing can do.
SNIKT!
Wolverine retracts his claws and leaps off the train. Wolverine begins to head toward the location of the Blackbird. He wasn't too far away, but he would have to run if he wanted to get to the jet before the Silver Samurai could do anything.
Wolverine's Thoughts: If this heart does have power, I may be able to use it to find Mariko and Kirkia's bodies and give them a proper resting place.
