Chapter 39: Meeting with Apocalypse, or En Sabuh Nur
Hallway #5, Asteroid Evolution, Orbit of the Moon, Milky Way Galaxy- May 16, 5:15 PM
Erik caught his breath as he found himself staring into the blood red eyes of En Sabuh Nur, or better known as Apocalypse. Erik did his best to keep his eyes on Apocalypse's but he was having trouble; after all, Apocalypse stood nine feet tall and his pale blue skin and metal veins kept drawing Erik's attention.
"Master Apocalypse, I thank you for your interference. If not for your help I might not be alive," said Erik slowly and softly as he quickly closed off his mind inside his helmet so Apocalypse could not read his it. He got up from checking Wanda and John's pulses, walked over to Apocalypse, and knelt down in front of the Egyptian mutant, all the while hating his actions.
"No thanks needed, slave Magneto," replied Apocalypse as he gazed at Erik with his piercing red eyes, using his telepathic powers to try and read his slave's mind. On finishing what he deemed a necessary test of loyalty he only got feelings of appreciation and gratitude for saving the slave's life, fear that he might be destroyed, and the feeling of knowing that he was nowhere as powerful as Apocalypse.
"Now, follow me, and bring that wench of a mutant Mystique with you," commanded Apocalypse as he began to float towards the exit. Erik got to his feet and prepared to follow his master but before he even moved Apocalypse stopped moving. He turned once more to face Erik, who was still kneeling in respect of Apocalypse's mighty powers. "Also, fix this floor, throw your daughter and her… 'boyfriend' into the two cells in hallway #21 after having their wounds attended to in the infirmary and have that illusionist of yours adjust the controls to torture them with their worst fears in such a way that they will never escape without help from the outside. Understood?" Apocalypse then motioned for Erik to get up, and as he did, then motioned to the limp forms of Wanda and John on the floor. He then nodded towards the doorway that led to hallway #16, where Raven was most likely near death because of a lack of oxygen. He then left, floating out of the door and closing it behind him.
'I must say, it is a pleasure to rule over that slime Magneto; except this time, I know my plans will not fail…' Apocalypse thought as he floated down the hallways en route to his private chambers, where he would plot and scheme some more in order to make his plan perfect.
