X-MEN #12

FATE PART 3

By:Liam Lloyd

Wolverine and Rouge attempt to fight off the Demons but they just keep coming. No matter how many of them they defeat, more just respawn.

This Dimensions Apocalypes just sits and watches

Apocalypes: KILL THEM!

Wolverine and Rouge keep fighting. Kicking, Punching and Slashing the demons and they dont show any signs of giving up. Then suddenly Apocalypes shouts...

Apocalypes: STOP! I shall deal with you myself!

Rouge: Before we go round in circles again sugar, hows about you you tell us exactly why you want us dead! You aint exactly given us a clear picture hun.

Apocalypes: You have cheated your fate many times in the past.

Then Apocalypes makes Wolverine and Rouge see a flashback in their mind. A flash back of the Sentinels taking over New York City (Days of Futre Past) and all of the X-Men in that timeline, laying dead! Shadowcats mind goes back in time to prevent the deaths of the mutants. Then he shows them a flashback of Beast getting possessed by the Phoenix Force and getting taken over by Sublime (Here Comes Tomorrw) and killing the future X-Men. Beak, Cyclops ect.

Then Apocalypes shows them the most recent events of which the X-Men had escaped their fate. When Mr Sinister, Bastion and Bishop attempt to kill the mutant savior, Hope. But Cable and the X-Men save her life and prevent her death and the death of the entire mutant race. (Messiah Complex, Messiah War, Second Coming)

Apocalypes: Do you see now, you cannot escape your fate any longer, I am here to see to it that you meet your fate. THE X-MEN MUST DIE!

Wolverine and Rouge look at each other.

Then suddenly, the Creature that took Collossus, Ice Man, Storm and Shadowcat appears in the distance and begins to slowly walk towards them.

Creature: YOU CANNOT ESCAPE!

Meanwhile, back at the X-Mansion in the regular universe. A whole week has passed since, Wolverine, Ice Man, Shadowcat, Storm and Collossus went missing. And Hope is getting worried.

Magma: Where could they be.

Pixie: I dont have a clue.

Magma: Im getting really worried.

Cannon Ball: Maybe we should get...(Long Pause).

Pixie: Who?

Connon Ball: You know...(Another Pause).

Professor Charles Xavier: HE IS ALREADY HERE!

PROFESSOR X ARRIVES!

TO BE CONCLUDED...

NEXT: AFTER ALL THIS TIME, PROFESSOR X HAS RETURNED TO HELP THE TEAM HE CREATED! THE X-MEN ARE IN DYER NEED AND THE ORIGINAL FOUNDER HAS RETURNED, BUT WILL HE BE ABLE TO SAVE OUR FELLOW MUTANTS? OR WILL HE FAIL TRYING AND FALL WITH THE REST OF THEM?
