X-MEN #11

FATE PART 2

By: Liam Lloyd

The Creature stands above the fallen X-Men.

Shadowcat, Ice Man and Storm lay unconsciouson on the floor.

Creature: And now X-Men, you DIE!

Collossus: No! I dont think so...

Collossus comes out to confront the creature. The Creature then turns towards Collossus and stares at him with his evil yellow eyes.

Creature: Your teamates have fallen. With the combined might of three X-Men against me, they still failed. What makes you think you will succeed?

Collossus: You wish to murder my friends, so I have no choice but to stop you, even if I fail, I wont let you hurt them.

Creature: You X-Men truly are pathetic.

Collossus: Not pathetic, just always there for each other.

Collossus runs at the Creature but the creature just points at the ground and the earth beneath Collossus begins to crumble. Collossus starts to callapse with the ground but he used his feet and his strength to push himself up, Collossus jumps to the surface and punches the Creature, but Collossuses fist just fades streight through this Shadowy Creature.

All of a sudden, Collossus passes out and slowly falls to the ground.

As Collossus falls, Rouge walks by and can see what is going on. She rushes to Collossuses aid but it is too late. Collossus has fallen alongside the other mutants. Luckily the Creature hasnt spotted Rouge yet, so she hides behind a tree, ready pounce on him and attack but she is quickly stopped by a hand that reaches out and grabs her!

Rouge: Hey!

xxxxxxxxxx: Sssshhhhh!

Rouge turns around and sees that Wolverine was the one who grabbed her and stopped her from attacking the Creature.

Rouge: Logan!

Wolverine: Stay here for now. We make our move at the right time.

Rouge: But... Storm and...

Wolverine: If he was gonna kill em, he would have done it by now bub! Hes up to something. We dont know what were up against yet. Wait behind this tree until I tell you to move.

Wolverine and Rouge wait behind the tree with a perfect view of the Creature and their unconscious team mates. The Creature looks around to see if no body is watching, he doesnt spot Rouge and Logan hiding behind the tree.

He then raises his hand to the sky and the warm sunny day that it was, suddenly turns into Dark Clouds and lightening falls from the sky. As the lightening hits the ground a portal suddenly appears. The Creature throws Collossuses, Storms, Shadow cats and Ice Mans bodies into the portal and shortly after the Creature once again looks around and then jumps in after them.

Wolverine: Alright Rouge, Now we make our move!

Before the portal closes, Rouge and Wolverine jump through to save their team mates.

When they get to the otherside, they appear to be in another dimension. Similar to Astral Plane and Hell, but Darker, more sinister and empty. No enhabitance what so ever. The ground is cracked and the sky is black.

Rouge: What is this place.

Wolverine: I aint never smelt this place before bub. Seems deserted.

As Wolverine says that they hear a voice coming from behind them standing on a high up plat form.

(Voice)xxxx: Welcome X-Men!

Wolverine and Rouge quickly turn around to see who is talking to them.

And they see an alternate version of Apocalypes!

Rouge: A... A...Apocalypes?

Apocalypes: This is where you meet your fate! THIS IS WHERE THE X-MEN DIE!

Wolverine and Rouge turn away from the alternate universes version of Apocalypes to see dozens of 4 foot high, little purple Demons, carrying big thick Swords.

The Demons quickly suround Rouge and Logan!

Wolverine: (SNIKT) (Gets his claws out)

Rouge: I take it this version of Apocalypes doesnt like us either.

TO BE CONTINUED!

NEXT: WILL ROUGE AND WOLVERINE SAVE THEIR TEAM MATES? WILL OUR HEROES GET OUT OF THIS DIMENSION ALIVE?
