The Last Stand
Storm and Meghan were discussing about stuff together, one evening, when they had heard a familiar, gruff voice downstairs, shouting Storm's name.
"Storm, Storm!" Logan's voice echoed.
"That sounded like… Logan!" Meghan said.
"Let's go see what he wants." Storm said, getting off Meghan's bed, followed by Meghan.
"Logan? What are you doing here!" Storm said, judging by the look of his expression, she already knew the answer. "You found her, didn't you?"
"Yeah, she's with Magneto, they're going to attack Alcatraz Island!"
"They're going for the boy!" Beast said, appearing from down the hallway. Warren had peeked outside his door, to see what they were discussing. By the way Logan mentioned 'Magneto', Warren figured that he was not good news, especially if he wanted to attack Alcatraz Island.
Meghan noticed Warren listening about their discussion. "Hey, guys, I'll meet up with you at the Blackbird, Alright?" Logan nodded and asked her to make it quick. She nodded, and went to Warren's room.
"Warren, what are you waiting for!" She said, while standing at the doorway.
"I… don't know…" Warren said, looking out the window.
"Listen Warren, I may not come out of battle alive. This will determine my fate and destiny in this world. This will be the Final Battle, The Last Stand…" Meghan said.
"I understand…" Warren said, hugging Meghan.
"Warren… I…" Meghan stammered.
"Meghan! Suit up, we're leaving, now!" Bobby said. Meghan looked at Bobby, nodded, then turned back to Warren.
"I love you, Warren, never forget that." She said, kissing him on the lips, and then running out the door to get ready. Warren sighed deeply. He had already made his choice, running out to the balcony, he spread his wings and took off into the distant sky.
"What're we going to do? There's one six of us." Bobby said, sighing.
"Seven. How could you leave me out like this!" Meghan said, rushing towards them.
"What took you so long?" Logan said, raising an eyebrow.
"I had some business to take care of. Now come on." Meghan said, heading for the Blackbird.
"Let's go." Storm said, following Meghan.
Everyone was nervous during the flight. Bobby looked at Kitty, she looked as nervous as him. Peter seemed to be calm, while Meghan was looking out the window.
"Meghan, everything's going to be alright." Peter reassured her.
"I hope so, Peter. I just hope so…" Meghan said, looking at Peter.
"Going into stealth mode." Strom said, pressing the red button. It was already night, and also very dark. Meghan was worried about Warren's father. This war was started by him, and it might end with him.
From above, you could already see the battle raging. From down below, they could hear a sound of an engine. Storm flew down, electrocuting some mutants, Colossus jumped down, and landed on his foot, Kitty and Bobby jumped down together, but it was a little too much, because they went underground, but reappeared soon after.
"Don't ever do that again." Bobby whispered.
Meghan came flying down, landing beside Peter, Beast jumped down and gave a ferocious roar. Finally, Logan jumped down. They all got into one straight line, behind the ground troops.
"They're on our side!" The commander told the other troops.
"Hold this line!" Logan told the others. He looked at Kitty, she simple nodded. Peter and Meghan looked at each other, and nodded as well.
Magneto raised his hand, giving he final order. "ATTACK!"
