Oh my god, I couldn't believe my responses on the reviews. I have to thank all of you so much, I loved every reviewXxX
mazdamiatta- I don't know if you meant stunned in a good way lol, but I hope you did. Yeah you did lol, I wanted to try to get people to think it was a total different mutant altogether, but I did my research and I couldn't find any mutants as powerful as Mastermind. I was really upset about the squirrel thing but I've took my pills and my uncontrollable rage to help the animal kingdom has gone down and I realise there's no need lol. God, can you imagine if squirrels started to take over America or Europe…wouldn't that be so weird? Them running around with guns…awww lol. Anyway thanks for reviewing as always XxX
WildCardRose- My friend in England is in an environmentalist group called the European Squirrel Initiative, and she told me about the governments' announcement to slaughter grey squirrels. She said there doing everything they can and wanted to know what the Americans were doing to help stop the slaughter and find peaceful matters of stopping the population of squirrels increasing. And as my new job as a reporter in training, I decided to go to a conference. And they've actually made a contraceptive pill which they are planning to lay out for the greys to eat. I completely understand what the English government are trying to do, and I agree because the greys carry a disease called 'Squirrel pox' which only infects the reds. Any whom, I loved your review with all the information and if you have anymore I'd love to hear it. XxX
LEDIABLEBLANCTHE2ND- Thanks I love when you say fantastic. I'm glad you like Romy now, I know you're not really bothered about them, but your couple will be coming up very soon. Well your not far off…thanks I love my stories to be unpredictable. Please review againXxX
Roguechere- Ya know, I always get that spelling wrong, I don't know why. But thanks for the heads up. Thanks and I hope you keep interested XxX
Lumberjane- Lol don't worry I am. I love the word dude to, it reminds me of the beach…I don't know why, maybe it's because surfer people use it. Anyway please review again XxX
everwing- Thanks you so much, I really try my best to put detail into it. Lol, Remy just needs to be reminded, the question is, how? I'm glad you love it. Now don't be silly, I'm sure you can right excellently. Thank you so much for your review and I hope you review again XxX
Homer Simpson – Thanks for your review and here's your updateXxX
Next Chapter – The Amethyst Girl – As Logan, Bishop, Jean and Emma search for Rogue, Remy and Beast, they run into a girl who might able to help them, for a price that is…
The Amethyst Girl
The back of the Temple of Legends
Sinister and Mastermind put the twitching bodies of Rogue and Remy into the jet they were flying in. Mastermind looked over Rogue.
"I will soon enter the illusion I have created in their mind." said Mastermind. Sinister looked at Rogue also.
"Why, what is happening inside?" asked Sinister.
"Well Rogue is finally remembering who she really ism but every time she remembers a memory, Remy looses one." explained Mastermind. "At the moment, Rogue is unconscious, and Remy is being questioned by 'Wolverine'."
Sinister nodded and looked down at Rogue. She was twitching and mumbling. Then he looked over to Remy who was the same, yet since he was conscious in the illusion, he was more restless.
"What of the Beast, shall we just leave him where we attacked him?" asked Mastermind.
"Yes, he will be fine. And it's not as though the X Men can do anything about it." Mastermind nodded. "But I felt a little iniquity not giving them a farewell gift, so I left a little something there for them."
Mastermind looked at him confused.
"And what would that be?"
"Oh, just a little surprise for Wolverine." said Sinister coldly.
The Temple Of Legends
Logan moved the cobwebs away, not really caring about them as did the rest, except Emma who kept dodging them.
Logan sniffed into the air, he could smell something. Except it wasn't Rogue, Remy or Beast.
"What is it?" asked Bishop knowing that look upon Logan's face. Logan growled.
"I smell a rat." he said. Bishop immediately got his gun out and went around the room. There were four passage ways they could go down.
"Why don't we split up?" asked Bishop.
"What!" shouted Emma. "I'm no sour puss, but if you guys are hearing noises I don't exactly want to be strolling down a dark freaky tunnel all on my own."
Bishop went up to Emma slowly, and looked her in the eyes.
"Your names Emma right?" he asked her. Emma looked at him, her body tensing up. "Well I've never actually heard of you. Not in the stories I've heard d'ya know why? It's 'coz people like you who are scared of the smallest things, are the people who are most afraid, and killed." Emma grew angry and put her hands on her hips.
"Well maybe ya never heard of me because I die going down a tunnel to my death!" shouted Emma.
"Will both of you losers shut up!" shouted Jean as she walked past them. She looked to Logan. "What is it?" He sniffed again.
"I have no idea, but I'm going in alone." Wolverine exclaimed. Jean grabbed his arm.
"Not with out me ya not." she said. "I can't let you of all people go alone." he sensed her flirty behaviour and smiled.
"Come on then, but I prefer to do things on my own." he said as the two walked down the tunnel.
"Oooo is that so?"
Bishop just watched them go down and and looked to a pissed off Emma. He sighed and rubbed his neck with his gin in his hands.
"Look I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry." he said.
"Well it's not very nice learning that everything you ever fight for isn't even worth your name being remembered." she said, crossing her arms.
"I know, and I didn't mean to. It's just, I'm changing history by just being here, perhaps I'm changing your history to." he said.
"Look, I don't need ya stupid apologises okay? I'm a big girl and I can handle myself." she said up close and personal. "And just to show you how much," she snatched his gun, "I'm gonna go down that tunnel." she walked past him. He watched her leave, gob smacked at her.
"Hey no one touches my gun. I'm gonna need that back." he said as he trailed after her.
Logan and Jean
Logan looked round the area he was in. He knew that something was there, either following them in the shadows, or just waiting for them to come. Jean on the other hand was having fun. She didn't know who it was who was following them, but she was on there side, so they couldn't attack her.
"See anything yet Logan?" asked Jean.
"No not yet…but I know there in here. The weird thing is, this scent is sort of familiar." said Logan. "I think that th-." suddenly out of the shadows X23 jumped out onto Wolverine.
Wolverine fell on the ground with the girl on top of him. He didn't have enough time to look at her face, so he kicked her off him with his feet and she fell on the ground.
They both immediately got up, but Wolverine couldn't see her face properly since the darkness was covering half of her face.
She jumped into the air and booted Wolverine into the wall. He banged his head but soon recovered. He moved his neck to the side and it cracked, then he quickly got out his claws and ran towards the girl.
As he came towards her she dodged the claws and he ran into the wall, and she quickly turned against him and pulled her own claws out and stabbed him in the back. He screamed in pain as she kept digging her claws in, deeper, and deeper.
"D'ya like the taste of metal." she said. She slowly took her claws out of his back and sliced them back in. He fell on the ground, blood dripping on the sand. Wolverine looked up at her from the ground.
"…It can't be…" he said. X23 smiled.
"Well it is me, and I'm here to deliver a little message. Rogue and Remy are gonna be just fine with Apocalypse, I'm sure he has a nice room set up for them in his dungeons." she taunted. Logan's wounds started to heal up, as X23 knew they would. She smiled. "It's so annoying when you just won't die."
He try to stand up but she swiftly boot her boot on his chest and plunked him to the ground. He was in no mood to fight back.
"You know you're a son of a bitch, especially after what you did to me." X23 stated.
"I didn't mean to." he said. "I thought you were a creation, a monster at the time."
"Well," X23 turned to Jean who was just watching in pleasure, "Let's see if your little girlfriend thinks the same."
"You touch her, and I will do what I almost did in Tokyo." he warned.
"I don't think you're in any position to argue with me!" shouted X23. Logan looked over to Jean.
"Uh hello, a little help here!" he shouted. Jean was just looking at her nails.
"Huh? Oh me? Sorry, I don't wanna get in the middle of your little spat." said Jean, carrying on doing her nails.
"Fine!" shouted Logan. He growled and unexpectadtly pulled out his claws and dug them into X23. X23 fell on the floor, blood pouring out.
"I hate you." she said.
"Join the club, we got T-Shirts." he said as he stood up and walked over to Jean, who was still looking at her nails. "Don't worry, she'll heal again."
"Yeah like I care." she announced.
"Jean what the hell is going on with you!" shouted Logan. "First of all you're offensive to Scott, which I thought was funny. But then you had a fight with Emma, you flirted with me, and now you couldn't be bothered to help me because ya doin' ya damn nails!" Jean looked at him.
"Have you ever thought why?" asked Jean. "Maybe I'm fed up with life at the mansion; maybe I'm looking for more." Logan looked into her eyes, they weren't the sea green eyes he remembered, and they were much darker.
"Something's happened to you hasn't it?" asked Logan. Jean smiled.
"It's about time." Jean used her powers to push Logan back into the wall. She held him there for a moment. She started to strangle him with her powers. A smile came upon her face, enjoying his swollen face.
Then a body flung on top of Jean. She landed on the ground, realising her telepathic hold on Logan, as he fell on the floor, coughing and getting his breath back.
Jean looked up to the body.
"Hello luv." she said as she kicked her in the face.
"Who the hell are you!" shouted Jean.
"They call me Betsy, but you can call me Psylocke." Psylocke created to energy blades in each hand and stabbed them in Jean's head. Jean fell on the ground, eyes closed.
Wolverine slowly walked over, his eyes wide open. He noticed X23 was gone. He ran over to Jean and put his hand under her head.
"She's not dead." said Psylocke. "She's just gonna be unconscious for a while." Wolverine looked up to Psylocke and gently put Jean's head down.
"Who the fuck are you?" asked Wolverine. Psylocke smiled and made her energy blades disappear. She wore an asymmetric dark blue bodysuit with a Chinese collar and a magenta dragon pattern going from the chest to her right leg. The suit didn't cover the other leg, where she wore a high boot instead. The ensemble was completed with a sash and dark blue opera gloves.
"I'm Betsy Braddock; I'm a mutant like you. I'm here for one reason, to stop Apocalypse." explained Betsy.
"Well the X Men have all ready been down here, and they've found nothing. All we know is that a guy named Sinister has a base here and has taken three of our team members." explained Wolverine.
"So, you are part of the X Men?" asked Psylocke. Wolverine nodded. "Cool, I'm actually meeting one of the X Men, the X Men I used to hear so much about."
Wolverine sighed.
"Jeez, your not from the bastard future too are you?" asked Wolverine. Psylocke looked at him confused.
"Ur no, but let's here more about that please."
"Look, I don't know how you know the X Men, but I need to find my team mates. Maybe I'll see ya around." said Wolverine. He was about to walk off when Pyslocke shouted to him.
"Stop!" he turned around and looked at the purple haired woman. "I can help you. I'm excellent at tracking people down. Plus, I want to meet the rest of your X buddies." Wolverine raised an eyebrow.
"Sorry kid, that's a bad idea, and I can track them down on my own." said Wolverine. He began to walk again.
"I'm sure you can, but I have something you need!" she shouted to him. He turned around.
"What could I possibly want from you?" asked Wolverine said harshly.
"The truth." Wolverine looked at her, as a smile came upon her face.
Bishop And White Queen
"So…the future isn't a very nice place huh?" asked Emma as the two walked down the tunnel.
"I'll be honest, it's like hell there." said Bishop. Emma gulped. "But that's why I'm here, to change all that."
"And I hope you do. I can't think of a life like hell." said Emma.
"Don't worry, you'll be dead by then." said Bishop. Emma looked at him offended. "Sorry, I didn't mean it like that. It's just you'll be too old."
"Look, I may not be a legend where you come from, I may just be some girl who tried to help, but to me, I can do anything." explained Emma.
"If you keep that attitude that might come to your destruction in the apocalypse fight." said Bishop.
"And why's that?" asked Emma. "Trust me sweetheart, if I didn't have this attitude, I wouldn't be here at all." Bishop smiled.
He could tell she was a hard class woman, and in the future, there aren't a lot of women like that. Which brought to the thought of his sister, Shard. He missed her so much, if only he had enough time to say goodbye. For all he knew, he might not live to come back to the future. But what made the situation even stranger is that his sister wasn't born yet.
"Oh my god!" shouted Emma. Bishop snapped out of his daydream and looked to the floor. In front of them was the team member he knew to be Beast of the X Men. Emma ran over to him, blood pouring from his mouth. "Beast, are you okay?"
There was no reply. Bishop looked around the room they had entered.
"Well there's only one way out, so Sinister must have taken Gambit and Rogue this way." said Bishop. "Come on Emma."
"But what about Beast?" asked Emma. "He needs medical help." Bishop looked to the floor to the unconscious Beast.
"Okay, listen to me, I need you to carry on down the tunnel. If you come to a number of different tunnels, try to find some evidence of where they went." explained Bishop.
"So I've got to do this alone while you take Beast home?" asked Emma.
"Look, I can't let you carry him on his own. Your not strong enough, no offence."
"None taken. I understand, besides I might find Wolverine and Jean on the way." said Emma. She was about to go off down the tunnel when she stopped and looked back to Bishop was lifting Beast up softly. "Good luck Bishop." He smiled at her.
"You too." She ran down the tunnel to find Sinister.
"HEY!" shouted a voice. He turned around to see Jean.
"Jean, what are you doing, I thought you were with Wolverine." She walked up to him slowly.
"Yeah, things turned nasty." said Jean.
"What do you mean?" he asked confused. He got up from the ground and looked at her. She seemed different. "Are you feeling okay?"
"She's feeling just fine." said another voice behind her. e turned around to see X23.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Your worst nightmare." she said.
"I've heard that line before." he said. "What do you want? What have you done to Jean?"
"I haven't done anything, but she works for Apocalypse now." said X23. "As will you, future man."
"How do you know I'm from the future?" he questioned.
"I have my sources." said X23 looking at the grinning Jean. "Besides, I think Apocalypse might find some use for you, and your little blue friend there."
Bishop looked into her darkened eyes. Then he looked down to Beast.
"Welcome to the Age Of Apocalypse." said Jean…
To be continued….
So how did you like it. I know it wasn't very long, I was pretty busy all week. Anyway please review. By the way, I know a lot of people might think Emma/Lucas…Luma…lol, might be a bit gross, but I don't intend them to be in a serious relationship.
Next Chapter – Those we dare to touch – Rogue and Remy are still stuck in the illusion, but Remy has forgotten all memory. While Rogue is forced to go into different illusions with Mastermind, Remy is her only hope, but if only he could remember! Romy!
