X-MEN #8

MASTER OF EVIL PART 3

By:Liam Lloyd

Flashback to over 25 years ago; Cyclops and Havok, the two Summers brothers, fighting along side each other in battle against Magneto and The Blob.

Havok: Hey Scott I guess its just us two this time aye?

Cyclops: Yeah, but this will be a piece of cake, there is two of them and two of us.

Havok: Yeah, I like the odds but your forgetting one thing...

Cyclops: Whats that Alex?

Havok: Our opponent is MAGNETO!

Magneto Throws a massive truck at the two summers brothers.

Cyclops then uses his optic blast to push the truck back.

Cyclops: Weve taken out Magneto many times in the past, why should this time be any differnt.

The Blob suddenly charges towards Scott, Knocking him to the floor.

Blob: Because this time you have to face the Blob!

Havok: Scott!

Cyclops Jumps streight back up and blasts the Blobs feet which knocks him of balance and causes him to fall to the ground.

Magneto: Give in Scott, Xavier may have convinced you to join his X-Men, Why not Join me instead. Your powers will be wasted with him. I can guide you Scott, teach you, help you, and together we can build a world worth living in. A world where Humans are no longer the rulers of this planet. A world where powerful Mutants like you and I can concur our enemies. Together we will be unstopable.

Cyclops: Thanks for the offer but I think Ill pass. (He says whilst blasting his common foe.)

Nothing you can say can change my mind. I AM AN X-MAN! And I always will be.

Back to the present.

Havok is remembering old times with his brother Cyclops.

Havok: I cant believe it, I just cant believe it. (He says with tears running down his face.)

Storm: Scotts one of them now, it is understandable that you havent given up on your brother. I havent given up on him either, I know the old Scott Summers is still in there somewhere. Its only a matter of time before he returns to us.

Wolverine enters.

Wolverine: But untill then he is our enemy, and we need to ensure that he doesnt stand in our way. When we can locate them, we will make our move and we will get Hope back. She is no good under the hands of Magneto, we cant have him turning anyone else to his side. If he could do it to Scott, he can do it to Hope.

Storm: Then we need to move fast. Who knows what they are planning to do next?

Meanwhile, at Shield HQ

Aloc Thorn is in his cell, sitting in his bed, looking at his hands. Phil walks up to his cell, along with Captain America, Iron-Man, Ant-Man (Eric O'Grady), and Hawkeye.

Iron Man: What should we do with this kid?

Captain America: We should give him to the X-Men.

Ant Man: Maybe we should ask the kid what he wants to do.

Hawkeye: Shut up, Eric!

Ant Man: What did I do?

Hawkeye: You were pissing me off when we were on our way here, thats what you did.

Phil Coulson(Head of Shield): Shut up, you two! Or Ill make you shut up. With special Sheild duck tape.

Ant Man: You guys have those?

Captain America: Come on this is serious, we need to figure out something to do with this kid.

Just then, an explosion occurred in the main S.H.I.E.L.D. deck. Phil and the others run back to the main deck, to which they see all of the members of the Masters of Evil causing havoc to the deck.

Captain America: DOOM!

Doctor Doom: We are the Masters of Evil, if you dont give us the mutant, you will all die!

Captain America: Twice in one day?

Hawkeye: Why am I not surprised?

Captain: Eric, Alert the X-Men. Get everyone down here. This ends tonight.
