Hope ya enjoy :) I can not do Scottish accents, sorry it will be a bit messed up.
Disclaimer: I do not own X-Men or anything like that. But hey, I can still think I do.
Sorry, I forgot to put this in the last chapter. Death is Wolverine. Plague is Scarlet Witch. War is Gambit. Famine is Polaris.
The other Marauders and Nasty Boys, except for Gorgeous George, got out of the way before the card exploded and left a mini crater where the table and couches were.
Arclight and Ruckus glared over to see a man standing at the door way with a light blue symbol on his forehead and black eyes. "Isn't that LeBeau?" Prism whispered to Vertigo, who nodded.
"Yeah, but what the hell is wrong with him." She asked as the two groups backed away into the wall.
"I say we just kill this idiot now." Hairbag yelled and ran at War, who didn't move from his spot. Before Hairbag could even touch War, his hand rose from his side and red electric bolts escaped his hand and shot at the bigger mutant who screamed in pain.
"Crap, I think he's pissed." Harpoon whispered as a harpoon appeared in his hand and glowed. He through the harpoon at War. During the same time, Scalphunter pulled out his gun and fired at the intruder. However, both of their weapons exploded before they touched War.
"Screw this. Vertigo, Ruckus, and Prism, attack from behind. Me, Harpoon, Arclight, and Riptide will attack from the front." Scalphunter ordered and the teams attacked the horsemen.
Riptide spun around and threw Chinese stars at War, but it did not last long when the other mutant sent a bolt of electricity through him. "So, what else do you got planned?" Arclight sneered at Scalphunter.
The other group was not having much luck either. Before any of the groups could attack again, the entire building started to glow dark red. War suddenly vanished from the room and left the two groups standing.
"Why do I have a sudden case of de ja vu?" Riptide muttered before the entire building exploded; taking out all of Sinister's experiments, equipment, and his lackeys.
X-Mansion- War Room
Scott, Cable, and the rest of the X-Men entered the room and found Paige, Alison, and Sam watching TV. "We need to use this room. Could you please excuse us?" Ororo asked politely to the three teenagers.
"Sure, can we come back in when ya are done?" Sam asked them.
"Of course." Scott responded as the X-Men went to their seats. As Paige passed Warren, she stopped and stared at him.
"Wow, are you a real angel?" She asked him. Warren looked down at the sixteen-year girl.
"Um, yeah." He answered and folded his wings further behind him. Betsy walked past him and raised an eyebrow at him.
"Your wings are so pretty. What do they feel like? Are they like bird feathers?" She asked and batted her eyes at him.
"Sorta" Warren answered her.
"Come on, Paige." Sam took his sister by the shoulder and started dragging her out.
"Bye Angel." She winked at him before she exited the room. Warren ran a hand through his hair and took a seat next to Betsy.
"What was that about?" The purple haired woman asked.
"She was interested in my wings." He replied and she smirked at him.
"I think she has a crush on you." Betsy teased. Warren gave a small blush. "It's alright luv. She is too young anyways for you." She said as placed a kiss on his cheek.
"Can everyone please take their seats." Scott spoke up to everyone. Pete glared across at Piotr, who glared back at the older man. "Okay, there are a few things I want to say before Cable goes over the solution to getting rid of Apocalypse." He stated. He continued telling himself to be strong and that there is a way to get Jean back.
"I have recently talked with the contractors and they said the rest of the mansion will be done by tomorrow night. But they still have to fix the elevator." Scott told them and saw the relief in a lot of people's faces.
"Thank god. I've been having even more nightmares over the Danger Room than I had before." Kitty stated and leaned back in her chair.
"The next thing: we have a new ally that wants to help us." Scott said and looked towards the door as Mystique entered. Most of the people in the room glared angrily at her, but said nothing except for Pietro.
"YOU-BITCH-THERE-IS-NO-WAY-I-AM-WORKING-WITH-YOU-AFTER-YOU-TRIED-TO-KILL-ME-AND-MY-SISTER-AND-JOHN!" Pietro shouted and stood up. John glared at the woman and held his lighter in his hand, flicking it open. Rogue refused to look at Mystique. She still couldn't believe what the woman had told her earlier. That woman couldn't be the same as the one she considered her mother.
"Pietro, calm down. I know this maybe hard for some of you, but we need all the help we can get." Scott told them as Mystique took a seat next to Scott and Betsy. "Cable, if you want to tell us how you plan on getting rid of Apocalypse?" He asked and took a seat and Cable stood up.
"We need to get inside Apocalypse's Tower. It will not be easy. In my time, it took more than a million people to break in and destroy him." Cable spoke.
"Well, if you haven't noticed, mate. We got like twenty people here." Pete Wisdom said,
"Yes, I know. From what I have been told. The X-Men hadn't known how to destroy Apocalypse when they went to fight him. It took years to discover how to." He said and pulled out a gun from his back pocket. "One of our scientists had created a bullet that contains a virus in it. It effects him and will turn him to stone."
"And this has been tested?" Sage asked the white-haired man.
"Yes, it worked. Even when he was at his full strength." Cable said. "The only problem we will have is getting past the horsemen. They protect Apocalypse and will do anything he asks of them." He hesitated, knowing he was going to get a negative reaction from what he was about to say. "If it comes down to it, we may have to kill them."
"WHAT!" Rogue, Bobby, Jubilee, Pietro, Kitty, and John all yelled in unison.
"There is no way I am killing Wolvie." Jubilee folded her hands over her chest in protest.
"I am not going to kill the woman I love." Bobby glared at Cable, who sighed and grabbed the remote to the television. He flipped it onto the news where it showed a reporter in a helicopter talking. Scenes behind the woman showed people running from a man with black eyes and long adamantium claws. A few people laid dead in the streets.
"Turn it off." Kitty cried and turned her head away. She wasn't the only one having a problem watching it, almost everyone looked away.
"That is not Logan." Rogue whispered and looked back at the television screen when Cable turned it off.
"All of your other friends are the same way. It is not the real them. They are under Apocalypse's control. The only way to free them is to either kill them or kill Apocalypse." Cable told them.
"They're in pain." Warren whispered, getting the others attention. "When I had encountered him and he turned me into that 'thing.' It felt like something was trying to tear apart my soul. I was able to hang on." He said.
"Because Apocalypse didn't use his full power on you, with them he did." Cable stated. "It may not have to come down to that, but it is the right thing to do if you want to save the world."
"What of the Phoenix?" Scott asked.
"I never dealt with the Phoenix. There is one person I know of that knows all about her and I tried to contact her, but she hasn't answered yet. I think we should try to get Jean Grey back before going again Apocalypse. We need all the people we can get.
Downtown Manhattan
Three girls walked out of Macy's and onto the sidewalk. "This is so great. I got so many great clothes. I don't know which one to wear first." A girl squealed as she looked into her bag of clothes. "What about you, Crystal?" She asked a red and black-haired girl.
"I don't care what I wear or when. As long as I look good enough for Johnny." Crystal smiled pleasantly. "Though, I've been thinking of breaking up with him." She told her friends.
"What? Why?" Her blonde friend asked her.
"I am not interested in him anymore." Crystal stated. "I saw a picture of this guy with silver haired man on the news, and he is the one for me."
"How do you know where he is? Did you hear what his name was?" Her black-haired friend asked.
"I think they said his name was Quicksilver, but I can always have him tracked down." Crystal smiled to herself until a green light flashed in the street, causing cars to swirl out of the way and crash into one another.
"Hey, what the hell if your problem!" A cab driver yelled at a green haired girl with black eyes who glanced at him. She wore a black and purple suit with a short cape. Suddenly, the car flew into the air and was thrown into the building above the three girls.
"Hey, watch it!" Crystal yelled and got out of the way. She raised her hands and fire shot out of one and water from the other.
"You're a mutant?" Her blond haired friend asked and stepped back.
"No, don't insult me." Crystal growled as a green force field protected the green haired girl. The building behind them started to crack and the metal frame of the doors came apart and flew at Crystal. It struck her through the chest. Both of her friends screamed and started running away, only to have the building fall on them.
Famine turned her attention to police cars that stopped a few feet away from her. They aimed their guns at her and fired. The bullets stopped before they touched her and were sent back at them.
People got out of their cars and started fleeing the area as their cars lifted into the air and flew at them. A gasoline truck was lifted into the air and throw at a different building, causing a huge explosion.
A small smile crept on Famine's face before she disappeared.
Muir island
Moria MacTaggert shook her head in disappointment. Storm had sent a sample of Charles Xavier's blood. No one understood how the Professor had fallen into a coma after only being knocked unconscious.
"Is there anything new?" Sean Cassidy, her boyfriend, asked her. Moria turned around and looked at him with a sad expression on her face.
"Yes, there is something new I have found." Moria answered and turned her attention back to the microscope in front of her. "Take a lot at this." She moved out of the way for Sean to look.
"What is that?" He gasped.
"It's a virus that was planted into his system. Someone drugged him." Moria explained as Sean stepped away from the microscope. "It appears it is breaking down his body slowly." She whispered.
"Is he?" Sean asked, having a hard time finishing his sentence. He had known Xavier for a long time and didn't want to think of what could happen.
"He's dying." Moria replied as a tear slid down her cheek. "I have never seen anything like this before." She told him.
"If anyone can help him, it's you." Sean stated.
In the other room
"Come on you cowards, let me out of here. I dare you to face me." Lucas shouted from his cell. He had been placed into the cell a few weeks ago. The X-Men had thought it would be best to keep him on Muir Island and away from David Haller so he could not take over the other man's mind and become Legion again.
"What part of shut the fuck up don't you understand." Kevin MacTaggert aka Proteus yelled at Lucas. The man sitting in the cell next to him annoyed him more than anyone else he had ever met. "No one is scared of you, so shut up." He growled.
"Don't you dare talk to me like that. I'll have you killed for that remark." Lucas said to him and turned his attention back to trying to get the others to let him out. "I don't understand why you bother with these people." He muttered.
"My mother is trying to find a way for my powers to be controllable. If you say one remark about her, I'll kill you." Kevin promised.
Genosha
The Phoenix had had another battle over Jean's body with her mind. She was slowly losing control and knew she had to regain control. When Jean had retaken control over her body, she flew as far away as she could from the mansion.
"You can try all you want, but they will die." The Phoenix screeched as she hovered above metal buildings where people were working. A scream caught her attention and looked down to see the buildings glowing blue. Slowly, they started melting down to the ground.
"What?" The Phoenix cocked her head to the side as she observed the buildings. She had never seen anyone ever accomplish that besides herself and the people who locked her away in the lake.
The Phoenix flew down low enough to see a girl standing throwing hexing bolts at people and knocking them into each other or the buildings. She had short black hair with bits of red in them. She had black eyes and wore a long red coat that covered her black shirt and pants.
"Who are you?"The Phoenix landed on the ground, but kept the flames around her for protection.
Plague turned and glared at the Phoenix. A blue hexing bolt escaped her hand and shot at the Phoenix, but did not hit the other woman.
"You have some nerve attack me." The Phoenix yelled and sent a flame at the girl that would have turned her into ash. Plague stared at the flame as it turned into mist and disappeared. The Phoenix looked shocked. No one had ever gotten away from her and lived. 'And no one ever will.' She vowed and was about to attack Plague when she felt something pull at her mind and made her disappear into thin air.
Plague stared at where the Phoenix was and disappeared in a flash of blue light.
Apocalypse's Tower
Beast laid his head against the cement wall behind him. He hated this. His friends were in trouble and he couldn't do anything. He had tried to break the chains that held him, but found it useless. As soon as he saw his friends he felt like he was going to be sick. He had called to them, but they seemed so lifeless; only listening to Apocalypse.
The large door opened and Alex Summers walked out with his head bowed. The young man looked very upset and didn't notice Hank.
"Alex!" Beast called to the blonde haired mutant, who raised his head and spotted Hank.
"Beast? What happened to you?" Alex asked as he walked over to the blur furry mutant.
"They captured me a few weeks ago. They made a copy of me somehow and used it to spy on the mansion." Beast explained.
"I thought that was you." Alex commented and looked back at the large door he had exited.
"Alex, listen to me. You need to go back to the mansion and warn them. I heard them talking about putting an end to the X-men once and for all. The need to be warned in case Apocalypse attacks." Beast told him.
"I don't know if I can go back. I mean, Storm might know I set her up and the others won't be happy with me." Alex sighed and shook his head.
"Make them listen. Apocalypse already knows how to get into the mansion and knows all of the X-Men's secrets thanks to the imposter. You need to let them know. It is the only way your brother can be safe and a way to get the others back." Hank stated.
Alex nodded. He knew he would have to face everyone at the mansion. "Alright, I'll go." He replied. "What about you?" He asked.
"Tell the others that Dark Beast was not me. I will be fine." Hank assured him. "Now go."
Alex turned to leave the tower as quickly as possible. Beast sighed and prayed silently to himself that Alex would be able to reach the mansion in time.
"That was a terrific performance." Stryfe sneered as he moved from out of a shadow in the corner of the room. Hank's head jerked up and glared at the silver masked man.
"What do you mean?" He growled.
"Apocalypse has no use for the young kid. He wants the X-Men to attack here." Stryfe smirked. "We've been through this many of times. Apocalypse will send a horsemen to kill some of the X-Men to anger them. They will arrive here where they will meet their end." He stated, leaving out one minor detail. 'As long as Cable does not get in the way, we will have no problem.' He thought bitterly to himself and left the room.
X-Mansion- War Room
"Okay, you do know you are with the good guys right?" Kitty asked Mystique, who rolled her eyes at the young girl.
"Yes, I do. My friend who sees the future said that you are all supposed to die soon." Mystique stated.
"But why would you care if we died?" Jubilee asked. "Would that be good for you since you are a bad guy that works with Magneto and all."
Mystique glared at the young Asian girl. "I no longer work with Magneto. I haven't for sometime. I used to have my own Brotherhood of Mutants, until they ran off to join Magneto." She said bitterly.
"I seriously don't get this" Kitty shook her head. "I mean, if Magneto comes here asking to help us, that will be plan creepy." Sarah ran into the room out of breath.
"Guys." Marrow called below them.
"Sarah, maybe it would be better if ya went to the Danger Room." Rogue told the younger girl, wanting to keep her away from Mystique. 'Hopefully, she'll just leave.' She thought to herself.
"But." Sarah said, but Jubilee bent down next to the little girl.
"Come on, we can go play house." She presauded the girl.
"Um okay. But I wanted to tell you guys that I was outside and there's this scary looking guy with red eyes was there. I thought he was Remy, but this guy has a white face and a red diamond on his forehead. He said he wanted to speak with someone." Sarah told the group. Rogue looked over at Kitty and Jubilee in disbelief.
"That better not be who Ah think it is." Rogue growled silently.
End of Chapter 11
Note: when Riptide said about de ja vu, Remy had lost control over his powers back in Unexpected Visitor and thats what is meant by it. Also, Crystal is Pietro's wife in the comics and I really don't like her, mostly because she is a horrible wife and mother!
