"So what are we gonna do now?" asked Gambit. "I mean we've got a shadow trying t' kill us, an insane woman tryin' t' kill you an' we've got de next Apocalypse on our shoulders." Rogue rolled her eyes and carried on walking down the dark passage way. "Did Gambit mention we don' know where we are!"
Rogue stopped and looked at Gambit angrily.
"Yes Gambit did mention that, Gambit mentioned that 'bout 10 million times!" shouted Rogue. She turned around and carried on walking. "Ah know this is kind o' scary Gambit, but ah rather get torn t' bits by a mad gal an' a shadow than get blamed fo' Apocalypse winning."
"Chere, all Gambit's sayin' is dat let de others find clues, we got enough on our plates." Rogue came up close in Gambit's face angrily again.
"An' 'ow do ya know that there no in the same position as us Gambit!"
19.51pm
"Wow." said Beast as he looked at the room they had entered.
"What have you found something?" asked Storm.
"No, it's just amazing that someone had inscribed all of these." Storm smiled at her innocent friend and carried on looking around.
"Here, I think I have found something." said Magneto. Beast came up behind Magneto and looked at the inscriptions.
"Yes I do believe you have."
"What does it say?" asked Bobby.
"Well let me see…" Beast examined it more. "It says an Apocalypse will end the three times in this universe."
"Huh?" said Storm.
"What does it mean by that?" asked Pyro.
"Well, it's only a theory but some scientists believe there is 3 timelines in each and every universe. Past, present and future." explained Beast. "They also believe that there is a time line where no one can go, they call it the astral plane."
"So lets get this straight, Apocalypse is gonna take over our universe, including our timelines…well that's just too extreme." said Pyro.
"All we need to know is how to destroy him. Does it say it on there?" asked Magneto. Beast had another look.
"Well the last time Apocalypse ruled was in the ancient Egyptian times, and his slaves…"
"Yes, yes, yes, we've had enough history lessons or a day, what of his downfall?" said Magneto.
"If you were listening, I would have gotten to that part." said Beast. "As I was saying, his 5 main slaves, the umbreys they are called, they actually started to think about peace and so when Apocalypse attached himself to a machine on the top of his vessel, to claim the world as his, the 5 Umbreys shut him in it and transported him somewhere."
"But I thought that Apocalypse didn't get the right energy and then was defeated by a powerful mutant and sent into deep space." said Storm.
"That did happen. It happened after the Umbreys did so. When they transported him, he didn't go far and was able to break free. But now mutants have become powerful, he can find the right energy source and take over our world." explained beast. Bobby and Pyro gulped.
"Just our luck." sighed Bobby.
"So we'll just have to fight him?" asked Magneto.
"Yes, with the most powerful mutants on this planet. And then trap him inside his vessel and somehow, send him into the astral plane."
"Looks like we've a long day ahead of us." sighed Pyro.
20.03Pm
"Rogue…" said Gambit as they continued to walk down a passage way. "…are you ignorin' moi?" Rogue didn't answer and continued to walk down. She now obtained a lantern she had gotten from the wall, looking at all the inscriptions. Rogue stopped and Gambit bumped into her back. "What's wr…"
"Shhh." said Rogue cutting Gambit off. "Ah here something."
"What d'ya hear?" whispered Gambit.
"Footsteps…ah don' know which way there-" all of a sudden X23 jumped onto Rogue out of no where. Rogue landed on her back, X23 on top of her. X23 growled and got her claws out. Rogue looked at her strangely. "You remind me o' someone."
X23 smiled and looked as though she was about to stab Rogue when she was kicked into a wall. Gambit helped Rogue up and charged his card.
"Go near her again an' yaw dead." he warned.
"Is that a threat?" joked X23, circling the two Southerners.
"It can b' whatever ya wan' it t' b'." he said as his red on black eyes followed her every movement.
"I need both of you, so if you don't want to be torn to threads then I advise you to come with me." said X23.
"Is dat a threat?" mimicked Gambit.
"It can be whatever you want it to be." mimicked X23. Gambit growled as he leapt on her, sending him and her onto the floor.
X23 stood up and kicked him in the gut. She then grabbed his trench coat and pushed him into the wall. She kneed him in the gut again and got out her claws and stabbed him in the side. Gambit screamed in pain and Rogue ran to him, but X23 still had hold of him. She pulled out the claw she stabbed with Gambit and pulled it in front of Rogue's face. Blood was dripping from it. Rogue stared at the three claws.
"Come with me, or I'll kill your buddy." she said.
"Ya lil bitch!" shouted Rogue, tears falling from her eyes. She clenched her fists ready to hit her.
"Ah ah ah." said X23 in a playful voice. "You hurt me, I'll kill him." Rogue growled. If she wanted to help Gambit, she would have to do as they said. She couldn't attack X23, if she did Rogue would have to drag Gambit and then X23 would catch up to them quicker and kill him. Rogue released her clenched fists. "Good girl." Suddenly something grabbed Rogue's hands and tied them up with rope.
"What the hell!" shouted Rogue.
"I do believe you've met my good friend shadow here." said X23. Rogue knew exactly who she was on about. She let the shadow tie her hands behind her back, but as he did so, Rogue kept her eyes on X23, giving her an evil stare.
"Move along." said Shadow in his Scottish accent. Rogue was pushed forwards and walked along the passage way. X23 dragged Gambit on the floor. Rogue, at the corner of her eyes, saw Gambit. Tears dropped from her eyes.
Apocalypse's lair
20.15pm
Wanda was still in the same corner she had crept to when she had seen everything in the future. Her tears had dried, but she was still crying deep in her mind. Suddenly a door opened to the room she was in. Wanda came back into reality and heard some people talking. She looked for somewhere to hide and saw a metal desk she could hide behind.
Two mutants entered and went up to the screen Wanda had. The screen turned to a profile of two people. Wanda moved closer and saw the X Man she knew as Rogue and her father, Magneto.
She looked to the two mutants and couldn't recognise who they were. She moved closer again and saw a woman. She wore a black bodysuit with a purple vest and black high heels. She had long brown hair which was curled at the bottom.
The other mutant was a man. He was a techno-organic being, (In other words he was totally black, totally white eyes, and yellow inscriptions on him).
"Paradigm, what are you showing me?" asked the woman in an angry voice.
"Apocalypse wanted me to show the team the mutants he wants." said Paradigm.
"What, he only wants two?"
"Of course not, but these are the ones he wants right now."
"I thought he wanted that Xavier Guy." said the woman.
"He does, but not right now. He wants to have a little fun with Xavier first." said Paradigm, smiling. "This here is the girl he is going to use as his life source."
"She looks pretty." said the woman. "I can't wait to ruin her life." Paradigm rolled his eyes.
"Her name is Rogue. She has an ultimate power of taking away other people's memories, personality, energy, abilities including mutant powers, and psyches, just by a mere touch." explained Paradigm.
"Wow, and I thought I had it bad." said the woman.
"No time for jokes Malice, Oracle is already posing as a student at the Xavier mansion and X23 and Shadow have already got Rogue and her X pal Gambit in the temple."
"Gambit?"
"Sinister wants him, I don't know why. But Apocalypse wants us to get Magneto."
"The master of magnetism? No problem." said Malice smiling. Paradigm smiled and looked at the screen. "What, you in love with her or something?" joked Malice.
"Don't be pathetic. I just think that with such power, how can her help to the rise of Apocalypse end so soon?"
"Forget it Paradigm, we haven't got time for that kinda shit. The boss wants to use her, so be it. We gotta concentrate on getting Magneto." said Malice.
"That's the most sensible thing I heard you say today Malice." joked Paradigm. Malice laughed sarcastically and then the two walked out of the room. When they did so, Wanda quickly ran to the screen and looked at Magneto.
"Shit, how am I gonna warn him?" said Wanda to herself.
Outside the room, Malice stopped Paradigm.
"What's wrong?" he asked her.
"I sense something. Back inside the room…a girl…" Malice walked towards the room again, Paradigm trailing behind her.
Wanda searched threw Magneto's file, trying to do something.
"Well, well, well look who it is. I thought I smelt a rat." said Malice. Wanda gasped and looked at Malice and Paradigm.
"What are you doing out of your cell girl!" shouted Paradigm.
"I didn't like the room service." said Wanda sarcastically. Malice grinned and walked over to Wanda.
"I can see why Apocalypse liked you; I can sense your spirit already. You are very strong, but apparently not strong enough." said Malice.
"I'm stronger than you lady!" shouted Wanda. Malice laughed.
"You think so huh? I think you're mistaken. My power is far greater than any of yours." bragged Malice. "I can make my mind merge with the mind of another sentient creature and bring out the dark side of their personality. In other words I can posses a person, or just bring out there dark side. The victim is fully aware of my actions, yet unable to intervene." Wanda stared at her.
"Like I wanted to hear that." said Wanda. "But I can still kick you ass!"
"Wanna bet?" said Malice getting into fighting position.
"Enough!" shouted Paradigm. "Malice put her in her cell already!"
"And who are you to order her to order me around Mr self-satisfied!" shouted Wanda.
"How dare you talk to me like that girl!" shouted Paradigm.
"I'll talk to you how I want. After all I was kidnapped by your 'master', I saw the future and you want to hurt my dad, so I think I have a reason to be angry!"
"Dad?" questioned Malice to Paradigm.
"Yes, she is the daughter of Magneto." Malice smiled and looked to Wanda.
"Looks like we might have use for her after all Paradigm." said Malice.
"What do you mean?" asked Paradigm.
"Well we could use the girl as bait." said Malice as she circled around Wanda. Wanda's fists went even tighter.
"You dare lady!" shouted Wanda.
"Oh I dare. And the names Malice, remember it, you'll be begging me to use you later. This is going to be your only chance to be part of the rising of Apocalypse, you should think yourself lucky." Paradigm rolled his eyes and took Malice to one side.
"She is of no use to us Malice, we can get Magneto in an instant." said Paradigm. "She is powerless, we don't need her."
"Oh come on Paradigm, you don't wanna have a little fun?" joked Malice.
"I just want to get the job done; I have no time for fun and games."
"Your buddy is right Malice, you have no use for me!" shouted Wanda.
"My 'buddy' here will use you as bait; he just needs to be reassured. And don't refer to 'buddy', he is a powerful man." said Malice.
"Oh yeah, how is he powerful. From where I'm standing he looks like a teacher's pet." said Wanda.
"His power is to change into any object, person, or anything he desires. He can also fly and read minds. He was forced to connect with this thing called the phalanx, so this is why his body is like this." explained Malice.
"I didn't ask for his life story!" shouted Wanda.
"He's our top fighter, so if I was you I'd show him some respect."
"Respect? In your insignificant little dreams sweet cheeks!" shouted Wanda.
"If we are going to take her then take her! I will not stand her all day!" Malice smiled.
"My pleasure." Suddenly, Malice's eyes turned total white and Wanda started to scream. Wanda fell to the ground and then she stood up, smiling. Her pupils were white and Malice grinned even more.
Paradigm looked confused.
"Don't worry, I've possessed her, but part of my mind is still in my body." explained Malice.
"Come on let's go get Magneto." said Wanda, possessed by Malice.
Temple of Legends
20.34pm
Rogue was pushed inside a room. Instead of a cave, it was a huge room with metal supporting it. There was loads of lab equipment and tubes which made Rogue shiver.
X23 laid the half conscious Gambit on a metal table and walked over to Rogue. She punched her in the gut and threw her into a corner. Rogue was about to get up and kick her back but X23 looked over to Gambit.
"I wouldn't if I were you."
"Untie me!" Rogue shouted.
"Let me think…no. Infact, Shadow pass me a canceller." Shadow threw a metal chocker at X23, who caught it. She put it on Rogue's neck. Rogue suddenly felt powerless.
"What…what have ya done t' me?" she asked as she fell to the ground.
"This cancels out your powers so you have none. I could untie you but I don't want to." X23 said. "Sinister should be out in a second."
"Sinister!" shouted Gambit. X23 turned to the table Gambit was laid on, blood slowly pouring onto the metal table.
"Yes, Sinister. We didn't need you, only Rogue, but for some reason he wanted you." explained X23. "Why is that?"
"I…I…I don't know." lied Gambit in pain. X23 smiled.
"I can tell through your lies Cajun." she said. She walked over to Rogue. "So you came to the temple looking for clues on how to destroy Apocalypse did you?" Rogue growled. "I thought so. Well Sinister did tell us you were coming here. You know, this temple is very important. That's why we have a base here, because this is where Apocalypse had his vessel the first time. Of course last time his vessel wasn't a big space ship but things change."
"Why d'ya wan' us!" shouted Rogue.
"Apocalypse wants you because…" X23 thought for a moment. "He wants to use you for ultimate power." X23 grinned.
"Ya an' evil bitch ya know that!" Rogue shouted. X23 grabbed Rogue's head and slammed it to the ground. Rogue screamed in pain.
"Rogue…" said Gambit weakly as his eyes saw her.
"Aw what's wrong, ya don't like your 'girlfriend' being hurt? Well I do." X23 stood up and kicked her in the face. Rogue's nose and lip started to bleed. She was unable to get up because of her hands being tied.
"Leave…leave her alone." said Gambit weakly.
"Don't tell 'er what to do." said Shadow.
"Stop!" shouted a voice. X23, Shadow, Gambit and Rogue turned there attention to Sinister who had entered the room. "I said bring them to me not torture them. We will leave that till later." said Sinister as she walked over to Rogue. He put his hands on her face.
"You are so beautiful. I remember the first time I ever saw you. I could have used you, but Jean and Scott were more important to me at the time. But now you are my main priority." said Sinister in an eerie voice.
"Get away from me ya monster!" she shouted. Sinister smiled and clicked his fingers.
"Take her to a table and don't hurt her." he ordered. X23 picked her up with help from Shadow and they moved her onto a separate metal table next to Gambit. He moved his head the other way so he could see her. She stared at him and mouthed 'sorry'.
Sinister walked over to Gambit and studied him.
"And look at my other prize. Looks like X23 has indignant you. We will have to fix that and then we can have a good talk." Shadow and X23 lifted him up and put a collar on him. "Put him in a tube and fill it up with water. Make sure you put a mask on him." X23 nodded. Sinister turned his attention back onto a helpless Rogue while X23 and Shadow prepared Gambit in the tube.
"Don' hurt him." she said.
"And why don't you want me to hurt him my dear?" asked Sinister, finding it entertaining to watch.
"'Coz he's mah friend." said Rogue. Sinister laughed.
"Don't play fools with me girl. I know how you feel about him, and I'm sure he feels the same about you. You see I keep tabs on Gambit. Did you know he came to me to help him control his powers?" Rogue gasped and the struggled as she tried to get out of her bonds.
"Yaw lyin't' me!" she shouted.
"My dear I may be sinister but I am no deceiver." he said.
"Gambit would never work fo' you." she said.
"Maybe not now, but he did once. And besides it shouldn't matter much to you, you're just 'friends'. Now then, we are going to send you to Apocalypse and Gambit will stay here with me." Rogue shouted.
"No please don'! Don' hurt 'im, he aint done anything wrong. Send me t' Apocalypse do what ya wish jus' don' 'urt 'im!" she shouted. Sinister smiled.
"And why…"
"Because…because he's innocent, he don' deserve the torture you'll put 'im through!" she shouted.
"Sorry my dear, I cannot do that. His fate rests in my hands now." said Sinister.
20.55PM
Magneto and the rest of the mutants carried walking down a passage way. Beast stopped to look at the inscriptions along the passage way.
"Look I've found something." said Beast.
"What is it, we've been looking for ages now." moaned Bobby.
"It's Apocalypse, an actual inscription…of the future." Strom gasped and ran over to the picture. Magneto on the other hand walked slowly along the passage way, his hand on the wall. His eyes were closed and looked as though he could feel something.
"What does it describe Beast?" asked Storm.
"Does it say anything about me?" asked Bobby. Pyro rolled his eyes.
"Now why would it say anything 'bout you mate?" Bobby stuck out his tongue and looked at the inscription. It was mucky and was very hard to see.
Beast stared at it and wiped some of the muck of the inscription. He stared even more at it. His eyes grew wide as he translated it in his head.
"Oh my…" he said to himself.
"What, what is it?" asked Storm.
Magneto was totally oblivious to the conversation. Then, his eyes opened wide and he looked at the wall.
"There is metal here." he said. Storm quickly looked at him.
"Don't be ridicules, this is an ancient Egyptian temple." she turned back to Beast who was still reading it.
"Oh but my dear, there is so much more than that." suddenly, he used his powers to open the wall. Half of the wall fell down, including the one that Beast was reading from. He fell back and luckily, no one was hurt. In front of then, replacing the wall was a huge metal wall.
"What on earth?" said Storm.
"What is it?" asked Pyro.
"Let us see." Magneto said as he used his powers again to open the now metal wall. As he pushed it with his magnetic powers, the wall fell down and revealed the same room Rogue, Gambit, Sinister, Shadow and X23 were in.
"Rogue?" said Storm as she saw Rogue on a metal table, struggling to get out of some bonds. Storm ran to her and untied her bonds. "What's going on?"
"Sinister…" said Rogue. "He got some lackeys o' his t' capture me an' Gambit."
"Why?" asked Bobby as he ran up to her.
"'Coz he wanted me an' Gambit. Well he actually jus' wanted Gambit, but he needed me. Ah should have known all along, Sinister is working fo' Apocalypse. An' mah guess is, so is every other evil powerful mutant." explained Rogue.
"We should have seen this!" shouted Magneto.
"Wait, so Apocalypse wants you?" asked Storm.
"Apparently." she said.
"Not that this isn't serious but, where's Gambit?" asked Bobby.
"Sinister heard a noise an' grabbed Gambit. But X23 an' Shadow didn't…"
"It's not nice to talk about people behind there backs." said a voice. The X Men and Brotherhood turned to the voice and saw X23 with her claws out.
"Who are you?" asked Iceman.
"They call me Weapon X, but others call me X23."
"She has claws like Wolverine." said Storm.
"Enough chit chat, back away from the skunk head and I'll free ya from pain." warned X23.
"I do not take nicely to threats." said Storm as she flew a bit away from the floor. "I command the power of lightning!" lighting crashed down and nearly it X23, but she dodged it.
"Close but not close enough." she said as she looked up at the weather witch.
Magneto used his powers to move X23 from the ground.
"You defiantly share a same quality as a 'friend' of mine." said Magneto. "You should know that I can control any metal object, and unfortunate for you, it seems you are made of it." Magneto pushed her back into a machine which sparked and she fell, apparently unconscious.
"Now that aint very nice. You 'urt my friend, now I hurt yours." said a Scottish voice.
"It's Shadow, literally!" shouted Rogue.
"Where is he?" asked Iceman.
"How am ah meant t' know." said Rogue as she looked beneath her. Storm started to scream as she was dragged to the ground. She started to scream even more and upon her body was a shadow.
"What the…?"
"He's draining her soul, that's his power! Quick pull 'er away!" shouted Rogue. Silently and without noise, X23 came behind her and grabbed her mouth.
"You have no powers darlin'." whispered X23. "That makes you weak." X23 knocked Rogue out by knocking her claws really hard on her head. Silently and without anyone noticing, as they were attending to the scene before them, X23 snuck Rogue out of the room and into the passage way where the fallen wall was.
"Storm, he's off you, are you okay?" asked Beast.
"I'm…I'm fine." she said weakened.
"Ur…where's Rogue?" asked Bobby. They looked around and Magneto cursed to himself as he looked to where X23 should have been lying.
"If Apocalypse gets his hands on that girl…!" shouted Magneto as he walked out of the room and into the passageway. The rest followed him, Beast carrying Storm in his arms. Pyro was trying to keep up.
"Boss, what's he want with th' Sheila?"
"Isn't it obvious? He wants her as his life force. He wanted my Wanda, but she has not as much power as Rogue has. Apocalypse must have the right amount of power to have his own full power." explained Magneto, still walking fast. They went round a corner and then found Rogue standing upon an unconscious X23.
"Hey, ah may not have mah powers but ah still aint no Southern push over." she said smiling.
"You okay Rogue?" asked Bobby.
"Ah will be, but we have t' find Gambit an' quick. We could loose Sinister's tracks."
"I'm sorry Rogue, but we cannot. Gambit is of no use to Apocalypse…well maybe one day but for now he is not. I will not search for a mutant who is of no bother to me." said Magneto.
"But we can' jus' leave 'im down 'ere with Sinister!" shouted Rogue. "You o' all people should know what power Sinister has, an' how crazy he is!"
"I do know, but I will not go looking around for him. We came here for clues on Apocalypse and Beast has found something." said Magento, looking at Beast.
"He is correct. As I was translating an inscription on the wall, I found the future prophesies." said Beast. "It said that, Apocalypse shall rein the universe and its three timelines. But once he has control of the astral plane, only one may enter to stop him."
"And that's Bishop." muttered Storm as she was still being held by Beast.
"Correct. It also told me his plans and the legendary horsemen of the four elements."
"Huh?"
"The four element dur brain." said Rogue to Bobby. "Water, Earth, Fire an' wind."
"Yes, but think more of the guidelines of, War, Pestilence, Famine and Death." said Beast. "They are the names of his Horsemen. In the Egyptian times, his horsemen fell. His strongest was Death I, and Famine II. Famine I had died during a battle."
"Okay, but besides that…" said Rogue. "Ah'm goin' after Gambit."
"Rogue…" said Beast. She turned and looked at him. "I'm going with you." Rogue nodded and smiled. "Bobby, take Ororo back to the mansion. She doesn't need any medical treatment as far as I can see." he said.
"Wait Hank, are you sure?" asked Rogue.
"I can get us out of here quickly when we find Sinister." said Beast. Rogue nodded.
"Okay Hank, be careful." Bobby said as Beast and Rogue walked down the dark passage way, which Rogue and Beast were oblivious, it would lead to their undoing.
