Hey…I got good responses from that chapter lol. Glad you liked it…and glad your worried lol.
mazdamiatta- Well yep Remy's dead…he he he he. Jean being evil is defiantly not good, but her evil side will come out soon, at the moment I'm concentrating on the others. Lol I'll take that as a compliment. I like bright stories, but I think dark ones are cooler because it's different and you get to make the characters a little bit different. Wow thanks lol, I would send this story into marvel but I think they'd disapprove. Yeah I can't believe they haven't put Gambit in and I heard this is the last X Men movie, and Gambit might have his own! Whoo, but Rogue must be in it coz it won't be the same otherwise. Anyway thanks for the great review!
jn- Lol. like I said to the other review, a dark approach to the X Men is much better because the characters…well the evil characters can be even eviler, and the good characters can have their floors too. I know it's a bit gross, but I was trying to get a point across lol. Thanks for reviewing and please review againXxX
Roguechere- Wow you are very smart lol, but you might be wrong…Romy will defiantly be coming up, but I think you'll enjoy how the romy is spread out lol…you'll see what I mean. Review please XxX
tinuviel-telcontar- Yeah it reminded me of Christ to, I've never watched Samurai Jack thought lol. It also reminded me of Uncanny X-Men #423, 427 where Skin and Jubilee were crucified on the X-Men's front lawn by the Church of Humanity. Pretty gross I know. Lol. Anyway thank yo for your comment and please review againXxX
LeDiableBlanckthe2nd- Aww, thanks like I said on the other reviews the story is getting darker and darker lol. And I'm glad you like that combination. And since you begged I'm updating lol. Please reviewXxX
firegoth- Don't worry I hate Sinister to, but I adore Remy and I adore Romy even more, so you might find some unexpected twists in the story. XxX
Prexistence- Aw I hope you still like it though. I did plan for this to happen and I knew people wouldn't like the thought of precious Remy dead lol. But this story is going to get slightly hard to follow so read carefully. He was in a tank yes, but if you read what Rogue said when the X Men came through the wall, she said "When Sinister heard you comin' he grabbed Remy an' wen' off through the tunnels." Oh Sinister will pay, and if not now, later lol. Please review XxX
Previously - So the X Men and Brotherhood made an uncommon alliance. At Apocalypse's vessel inside the force field, Apocalypse told Mesmero he needed a life force to give him energy, and out of every mutant in the world, the one Apocalypse wanted, was Rogue. A day after that, the X Men had a surprise visit from Bishop, from the future. He told them he was there to help them destroy Apocalypse in this time. So Jean, Cyclops, Xavier, Shadowcat, Colossus, Quicksilver, Blob and Toad, including the new arrival of Bishop, would go to the remains of New York and try to find a way to shut down the force field. While Hank, Rogue, Remy, Bobby, Storm, Magneto, Avalanche and Pyro went to Egypt to see if they could find any facts on Apocalypse. Rogue and Gambit got trapped inside a room and decided that since they were stuck they might as well look around for clues of Apocalypse, but discovered a mutant named Shadow. Sinister ordered X23 to capture Remy and Rogue and so she did, but she stabbed Gambit in the process. Sinister explained that he only wanted Gambit, but Apocalypse wanted Rogue. Meanwhile near the force field, Xavier had his mind possessed by Sauron and Archangel, so Jean went inside to help him. When they returned to the Xavier mansion, Jean was cornered by a worker of Apocalypse known as Oracle. She explained that the mutants who were helping Apocalypse were called Follows and that Apocalypse needed 5 mutants' energy to open up the astral plane so he could rule. Wanda on the other hand escaped from her cell and went inside a room and put a headphone on which actually showed her everything that is going to happen if Apocalypse wins. She was soon found by Malice and Paradigm, also part of 'The follows' and was possessed by Malice and going to be used as bait for Magneto to come to Apocalypse. At Generation X, Emma, Sean, Jubilee and Jono decide to go to the X Men for information. Back in the Temple of legends, Beast and the others found out that Apocalypse needs four horsemen, question is who will they be? While looking around, they find Rogue and Gambit. But before anyone knows, Sinister had took off with Gambit. With an injured Storm and an unwilling Magneto, Rogue and Beast went to search for Gambit on there own, but stumble on to a crucified Remy LeBeau…
Nightmare
Rogue ran to Gambit and climbed up the cross, she couldn't fly since she couldn't get the canceller off her neck. She struggled to stay on the cross but she managed to pull the nail out of one of his hands. Gambit seemed unconscious…or dead? She didn't know. Tears were all over her face. She screamed in agony as she couldn't stay on the cross any longer and fell from the wall onto the ground.
Beast ran up and climbed on the wall and quickly tore out the nails in Gambit's hands and Gambit's body fell on him.
"Remy!" shouted Rogue as she pounced on his body, tears all over. She buried her face in his chest. "Oh Remy…"
"Rogue, let me check if he's breathing…" Hank checked, but there was no pulse. He started to give him mouth to mouth, but there was still no pulse. By Hank's actions, Rogue knew Remy must not have a pulse. She looked to Hank and back down to Gambit every time Hank gave mouth to mouth.
"No…" she said silently. Hank moved his mouth slowly away from Gambit and his eyes were full of sorrow. He closed them shut and looked to Rogue slowly.
"There's nothing more I can do…I'm…I'm so sorry Rogue." said Hank, truly sorry.
"No…NONONONONONONONO! He aint dead! He can' b'! Do it again Hank, do something!" shouted Rogue.
"There's nothing more I can do my dear…" he said, tears also falling. His voice sounded cracked and sorrowful. He knew Gambit as a spicy young man with an attitude to life, a good one. He enjoyed his time with Gambit when he was with him, and by far he knew Gambit was a good man. Beast couldn't believe that a man with many words and a life full of…well life, was dead, right In front of him. And the worst thing was, the one true woman Gambit had actually cared for more in the world, was crying, sobbing her heart out, and trying to bring him back from the dead. Beast knew how Gambit felt about Rogue, he had actually confronted him a few times, and he could see how Rogue felt too.
"Ah won' let go Remy…ah won' let you go…" she cried as she tried to give him life again by pressing her hands on his chest, inwards and outwards. Since her powers were cancelled, she gave him mouth to mouth. Rogue looked at his face and checked his pulse again. "No…" she had no energy. It was gone, and now her heart was gone. She watched, the man she cared about most in the world, die…die.
She lay on top of his body, sobbing on end. Beast sat there and let the tears fall. Not just hers, but his own. A life had ended today, a life that hadn't properly begun.
After a while, Rogue lifted her head softly from Gambit and revealed her now angry face to Beast. Her tears had dried, leaving her face an unsettling wax effect. Her make-up had smudged and she looked as though she had just gotten out of bed. Beast felt sorry for the girl.
"Sinister…" she grumbled in anger. She stood up and walked over to Beast who was sat against a wall. He got up as Rogue angrily strided over to him. "Get this off o' me Beast." Rogue said as she pointed to the collar.
"My dear, if I did I could…"
"Ah don' give a damn 'f it electrocuted me or whatever, jus' get it off!" she shouted, half grumbling.
"Okay." Beast gathered his strength and reached for Rogue's neck. He pulled on the collar and Rogue's face expression turned into pain. She was being electrocuted, yet she didn't seem to care, and it didn't seem to harm her as much as it should. The collar broke into two and fell on the floor. Beast looked at the woman. Rogue breathed slowly and then opened her emerald eyes which had now turned very pale and ordinary.
"He's gonna die fo' killin' Gambit!" shouted Rogue. She walked off past the cross and into another passageway which Sinister must have gone through. She walked straight on and Beast looked to Gambit's body.
"We shall come back for you my friend." he whispered as he went off to catch up with Rogue. Gambit's body was left alone in the room. But at the corner of his mouth, became a grin…
Rogue carried on walking as fast as she could, she was practically running. Beast caught up to her in no time and he was at the same pace as she was.
"Now Rogue, I understand what you must be going through…you and Gambit were very close but do you think expressing your anger by killing Sinister is a good idea?" asked Beast. Rogue stopped and pushed her head into Beast's so there heads were inches apart.
"Ah'd do anything fo' mah family Beast. Fact was, no matter how much ah denied it, Gambit means…meant,the world t' me." said Rogue as she closed her eyes as she said meant. Beast looked at the woman he knew as Rogue. Once a beautiful feisty young girl, and in minutes transformed into an evil, dark Rogue on the edge.
Rogue turned around and carried on walking. At the moment, Beast also wanted to inflict pain on Sinister, but he knew it was not right. He would follow Rogue, but if she tried to kill Sinister, Beast would have to stop her. He after all didn't want to see one of the most kindness people he knew to be transformed into a wicked person, regretting every moment of her life for killing someone.
As they carried on walking through the passageway, there were noises heard. Rogue and Beast both stopped and looked around the passageway. No one was there, but Rogue knew that there was someone somewhere.
"Come on." she said as she carried on forward.
"How do you know that is Sinister?" asked Beast.
"Let's jus' say it's mah gut feeling." said Rogue as she ran straightforward.
As they ran, Sinister was there, stood right in front of the two X Men. He had a smile upon his lips and put his hands at each side of his hips. He looked as though nothing happened.
"You evil bastard, ya killed Gambit!" shouted Rogue, the tears starting to fall again. He just smiled even more which made Rogue extremely angry. "Ya killed an innocent man an' ya think it's funny!"
"He's never been innocent my precious." said Sinister.
"Ya evil piece o' shit!" shouted Rogue as she lunged at him. Beast grabbed her arms and pulled her back. "Let me go!"
"No Rogue, killing him will prove any justice. It'll just make the situation worse. You won't feel any better!" Beast said, struggling with her super strength and his own.
"Ah don' know what you're on 'bout doc, it'll certainly make me feel a lot better!" shouted Rogue. Unfortunately her antagonism was more powerful then Beast's reconciliation. She lunged onto Sinister and pushed him on the ground. She lay on top of him and punched him in the face. He smiled, which made Rogue so angry it was unexplainable.
"Stop smiling!" she shouted at the deformed creature. "Ya killed 'im an' fo' what! Ya had no right t' end his life!"
"I did what I did for a reason my dear, I had to." he mumbled.
"Why!" she shouted. "Ah thought ya were infatuated with 'im, ah thought ya wanted no harm done t' ya 'precious' Gambit!" shouted Rogue.
"Oh but he is still my precious creation, and I will not let any harm done to him."
"What are you talkin' 'bout, he's dead…jus' like you!" she shouted as she held out her hand and took her glove off. She reached for his face.
"No Rogue…think of Gambit…Gambit wouldn't have wanted you to kill him!" shouted Beast.
"Oh ah think he wanted him dead!" shouted Rogue.
"Yes he probably did, but I know he wouldn't want you to do it! I know he wouldn't want you to go through the pain of knowing you killed someone."
"But you don' know Hank, 'coz he's dead! Dead Hank…dead! 'Coz o' this bastard!" shouted Rogue, the tears forming again.
"I know Rogue, I know. But you are not a murderer, I know that you are hurt…hurt to the extreme, but you will never forgive yourself." said Beast.
"Oh ah think ah will." said Rogue as her hand got closer to Sinister's face.
"…But will Gambit?" said Beast softly. Rogue stopped for a second. Anger was written all over her face, but it died down to a sorrowful face. The tears started to roll down her cheeks, but she did not make any noise. She looked down at Sinister, about to let him go, when he grinned at her. Rogue stood up and watched the evil monster get up. He looked at the two X Men and started to laugh.
"What the hell are ya laughin' at!" screamed Rogue.
"I t'ink he's laughin' at you cherie." said Gambit. Rogue turned around to look at the man she saw dead. She looked at him amazed.
"What…Gambit…you are…but I…" stuttered Beast. Gambit looked to Beast like he was nothing. He looked back to the stunned Rogue, with a sexy smile on his face.
"'Ello chere." he said.
"Ah thought…ah thought…you were dead." she said.
"Ya t'ought wrong." he said. He smiled and leapt on Rogue, hugging her. She didn't know what to do for a second and then hugged him, tightly, never wanting to let him go.
"Oh Remy…ah thought ah lost you forever." said Rogue, crying.
"You'll never loose Remy chere, never." he said. From the scene, Sinister laughed again. Remy and Rogue pulled apart and looked at the Sinister monster before them.
"What a touching scene." Sinister said sarcastically.
"You tried t' kill moi…ya tried t' manipulate mah girl…how dare you!" Gambit shouted as he stepped towards Sinister. Beast came up from behind Rogue and whispered something in her ear.
"Something doesn't quite add up here Rogue." he whispered.
"Ah…ah know…he doesn't seem like…Remy." said Rogue watching Remy and Sinister. It was as though Sinister and Remy were rehearsing a play, and really deficiently.
"I told you what would happen between you and Rogue." said Sinister. "She will betray you with another man." Remy looked down and looked to Rogue.
"Yes…I know she will." Rogue looked at Remy when he said those words. She was puzzled and didn't understand what he was getting at.
"Gambit?" she said. He smiled mischievously at her and walked towards her. He looked at her.
"Damn dose emerald eyes o' yours. Dey are full o' love an' passion…but dat love will never b' mine…never…" he said. Tears from Rogue's eyes started to dry. She looked at him worried.
"Ah would never hurt you." she said.
"But you will, you'll fall in love with another." he said gravely.
"But ya can' judge me on something ah haven't even done!" shouted Rogue.
"Oh but I can chere, I saw it in the future. Sinister showed moi."
"Oh so ya believe Sinister over me now? Remy what in the world is goin' on with ya!"
"You…you are what's goin' on. From de day I met you, you were all Remy could t'ink 'bout. Now though, I know dat you will only hurt moi. An' you t'ought it would b' moi!" shouted Remy. He started to circle Rogue. "Ya an evil lil bitch."
"What has he done t' ya Gambit?" asked Rogue.
"He made me realise…"
"Realise what?"
"What must b' done." Gambit swiftly gone out a dagger and stabbed Rogue in the stomach. Gambit kept the dagger in her for a moment, still holding the knife. Rogue bent down, her mouth wide open. Gambit pulled the dagger out of her stomach. His eyes were wide and full of regret.
"Gambit!" shouted Beast.
"Non…non…what have I done?" he said as Rogue fell on the ground. He caught her in his arms and then he looked down at her fragile body. Her eyes were wide open and tears were falling down her cheeks. "Rogue…please forgive moi. I don' know why I did it…I don' know why…"
Rogue lifted her gloved hand up to his face and stroked it gently.
"Remy ah…ah…ah lo…" she managed to get out before she took her last breathe, and closed her now greyish eyes, forever. Remy looked at her body and cried.
"Non…I wouldn't…I wouldn't kill 'er…I would never…" he said. He lifted her head into his chest and wept. "What have I done…?"
Gambit screamed and quickly raised himself from the bed he was on. He took deep pants, he was sweating all over. He then looked questionably in the room he was in. it looked like he was back home, at the Xavier Mansion. He didn't understand.
'It might o' been a dream." he thought to himself. He looked around and gasped as he saw something under the covers with him. He lifted the covers up swiftly and then gasped again as he saw that it was a woman. But it wasn't just a woman; it was the woman of his dreams, Rogue. She had her back turned to him and wore a purple vest, nothing covering her arms.
'Okay Remy defiantly know dis is a dream…but den why does it feel so real?' He stared at the back of her for a moment. 'But I killed 'er…Sinister controlled moi t' kill 'er!'
Remy felt a tear drop go down his cheek. He didn't know what he was doing; he didn't even know where he was. He looked to Rogue and shook her. She moaned and didn't move. Remy didn't have time for this, he wanted to know what was going on and he wanted to know now. He got up and realised he still had his boxers on so he searched for some clothes.
After he found some jeans and a black shirt, he ran down the corridor of the Xavier Mansion and down the stairs. He went into the kitchen to find Ororo and Logan having some coffee. Remy looked at Ororo strangely. She had shirt white hair now up to her ears, and she looked more confident.
"'Ro?" he asked surprised by her appearance. She looked up at him and smiled.
"Good morning Remy dear." she said with a smile. Remy looked to Logan, who had longer hair, but still the same deadly look.
"What's up Cajun?" Logan said. Remy smiled confused and then walked up to the counter.
"Um…dis may seem strange but…what's goin' on?" Remy asked. Ororo and Logan looked at each other.
"What do you mean?"
"I woke up dis mornin' next t' Rogue, in a room which I t'ink was ours. An' I should b' in de Egyptian temple of Legends, stabbed by X23 an' bein' dragged off bah Sinister." explained Remy. Ororo and Logan looked at each other and back at Remy.
"Gumbo I knew you were strange but this just cuts the cake. Why are you mentioning that?" asked Logan.
"But…it happened. 'Ro you were der. We were lookin' fo' clues on Apocalypse."
"I hardly remember." she said. Remy couldn't believe it. What the hell had happened, where the hell was he, what the…?
"Mornin' sugah." said a sexy Southern voice behind Remy. Remy turned around and gasped as he saw the beauty before him. She wore a purple vest and some pink trousers, obviously her sleeping wear. Her hair was totally different; it was shorter and tied up. Even her white strands of hair didn't fall at the side of her delicate face.
"Rogue?" he said. She smiled with her red rose lips and pulled him closer to him.
"Who else would kiss ya like this?" Rogue swiftly pulled Remy into her space and her lips closed in on his. She gained entrance with her tongue to his mouth and massaged her tongue with his. His eyes were wide open and he was totally shocked by her action. She pulled back and looked at him.
"You…you didn' absorb moi." he said. Rogue looked confused.
"Yeah and…" she said.
"Well…you…well ya…well." he stuttered for words.
"Sugah ya okay?" she asked him.
"You jus' kissed moi…moi…without absorbin' moi…but you kissed me."
"Ah kissed you…so? Rem Rem are ya okay?"
"Rem-Rem? Um…non not really. I jus' wanna know what de hell is goin' on!" he shouted.
"He's been acting weird Rogue, just ignore him." said Storm. "Ranting on about Apocalypse, and being stabbed by X23."
"Sugah that was years ago, she wouldn' hurt a fly now…actually that's a lie but ah know she wouldn' hurt ya." said Rogue.
"Yeah but she's got my DNA Gumbo, so I know she must not like you." said Logan.
"Play nice." joked Storm. They both smiled at each other and Logan planted a kiss on her lips. Rogue smiled, happily for them, while Remy had his jaw wide open.
"Oh…did you jus'…what…I don'…." stuttered Remy. Logan looked at Remy at sniggered.
"What I can't kiss my fiancé in front of you but you can kiss your wife in front of us?" asked Logan sarcastically to the still jaw-wide-open Remy. Rogue looked at Remy hesitantly.
"Don' mind him Logan." Rogue looked at Remy. "What the hell is up with you!"
"I need a word wit' you." said Remy as he dragged Rogue out of the kitchen and into the hall.
"Remy what's wrong with you?" she asked him.
"What's wrong wit' moi…! Everyt'ing. What de hell is goin' on?"
"Ah don' know what you mean." said Rogue.
"I mean why did you kiss moi an' how come Stormy was acting like Apocalypse is dead or somin', an' why de hell is Logan kissin' my best friend? And…are we married!" shouted Gambit like a lunatic.
"Number one ah kissed you because ah love ya…"
"What…" he said seriously.
"Ah love you. Ah mean ah better 'coz we've been married fo' a year." Rogue showed her hand off with the ruby wedding ring on it.
Remy was shocked. He looked at her ring, his eyes wide open.
"M…m…married?" he stuttered. Rogue rolled her eyes.
"Apocalypse was destroyed 5 years ago, half a year later we started dating, an' 'Ro an' Logan are in love. Ah mean can ya remember when we were engaged, that wonderful feeling? There jus' goin' through the same thang so don' moan 'bout their public display of affection." said Rogue as she slowly wrapped her arms around Remy. He looked at her and pushed her away, not knowing what to do or even what to think. "Honey are ya okay?" she asked him, putting her head to the side like a puppy.
"Um…ur…yeah…" he lied. 'I'm happy 'coz I got you chere, but I don' know what de hell is goin' on…what happened?'
"Good, don' freak me out like that again." said Rogue as she kissed Remy on the cheek. "Now remember that we got an appointment with the doctor at 11.00am today so b' ready bah then."
"Why…um…why do we have t' see de doctor?" asked Remy even more confused. Rogue looked at him in an usual way.
"Cajun, ya startin' t' freak me out again. What is wrong with you t'day?" asked Rogue.
"Noti'n…'sept everthing." muttered Remy. Rogue looked at him confused but shook it off.
"Ah advise you t' shut up swamp rat befo' ah kick yaw ass." threatened Rogue.
"Well least I know it really is mah Rogue." said Remy. Rogue sighed.
"Give up with the jokes now!" shouted Rogue. "Jus' b' ready fo' 11 k?"
"But why?" asked Remy again.
"Oh mah gawd. You've been moaning at me everyday when we had t' go t' the doctors, sayin' ah'm gonna forget, an' ah actually get t' remind you for once." laughed Rogue. "Drrr, the baby appointment. Doc wants t' see how the baby is. Ah swear ah can feel it growing." Rogue put her hand on her belly.
"B…b…baby?" stuttered Remy.
"Ya know what, shut up!" shouted Rogue as she walked off, annoyed. Remy didn't even go after her, he stood in his spot, looking straight forward, shocked and extremely confused. Wherever he was, he wanted to get out, and now!
