Episode Nine: "X-Force"
WE ARE X-FORCE- Rachel's team, now with all of its members, begin their campaign against Mr. Sinister and are assisted by a CIA agent. While on an interrogation mission, Rachel loses focus and becomes intrigued by Special Agent John Sublime. Laura struggles with what happened to her at the Weapon X Project and is not entirely convinced her sleeper program has been removed. Gambit finds a way to control his powers, but he must first make a deal with the devil (Sinister). Magneto begins to doubt Rogue's allegiance. Jean struggles with the Phoenix Force without realizing what she's struggling with.
(NOTE: This episode is mostly flashbacks to Rogue's past in the Hand, specifically revealing: 1) McKenna is a lesbian. 2) McKenna is transsexual. 3) Rogue really is a Christian and does not believe in being gay, but does it to survive, although she is manipulated some by McKenna. and 4) McKenna releases Rogue back to SHIELD with the promise she and Rogue will stay close, which Rose breaks in Season 2, and thus McKenna's split with her later)
(NOTE: Laura takes down Mr. Sinister and he hold a grudge against her)
Episode Ten: "Diplomacy"
THE WORST IS YET TO COME- Magneto goes to the U.N. under the guise of diplomacy, but the X-Men sense something more sinister is at work. Gambit's mission takes him down a path he was not expecting and he attempts to back out, but finds his mistake will cost many their lives (Mutant Massacre). Rogue contacts McKenna once more in an attempt to find solace in what she is doing, but the brunette severs ties with her. Rachel's romantic interest in John Sublime worries her team that she has lost her focus, especially considering her mother's struggles. With all of these problems piling on them, X-Force decides to take a break and return to Jubilee's hometown of Los Angeles. While there, a sinister plot against one of the team members unfolds, transforming them and the team forever.
(NOTE: Magneto pretends to act for diplomacy, then strikes the U.N. HQ, threatening war again and inciting many countries to order Sentinels shipped to their nations)
(NOTE: X-Force and Sublime go to LA, while there, a bomb goes off transforming Jubilee into a vampire.)
NOTE: Mention HYDRA's Helicarrier
Episode Eleven: "Sinister Motives"
MR. SINISTER STRIKES CLOSE TO HOME- After Laura's battle with Mr. Sinister, Sinister decides to punish her by destroying the two people she loves most: Julian Keller and Amara Aquilla. Laura attempts to rally X-Force behind her, but Rachel claims that Julian's rescue is a mission for the X-Men. Meanwhile Xavier feels he is close to discovering the traitor within his ranks. HYDRA is ready for their attack on S.H.I.E.L.D., Robert Kelly's Sentinels near completion, and the Cure begins production and shipment across the nation.
NOTE: Amara is abducted as well and receives blue eyes and pale skin making her much more like her comic book counterpart, now that she has dyed her hair.
Episode Twelve: "Checkmate; Part 1"
THE END IS NIGH- Worthington Labs announces that their cure to the X-gene is finished and is being distributed country-wide. President Kelly arms the newly formed Mutant Registration Division with weapons carrying this cure. Magneto prepares for war. Rachel's plans reach a snag when the Phoenix shows up at Worthington Labs and destroys the building. HYDRA's Heli-Carrier launches and wages war on S.H.I.E.L.D. Magneto forces Rogue to work with him to take down HYDRA and seize their resources for the Brotherhood, but is really working on something else. (NOTE: Everything builds up to a major cliffhanger where the SHIELD Helicarrier's engines are shot out and they start to crash into a river.)
Episode Thirteen: "Unthinkable; Part 2"
IS THIS THE END- X-23 and Elijah Bradley go to investigate the Weapon X Project. The spies within both Xavier and Magneto's ranks are revealed. X-Force makes a move that they think will save the world, but has much greater consequences. With an unthinkable ending that could not have been predicted, this is one Season Finale that will leave you wondering: What Happens Next?
NOTE: Magneto, after helping Rogue free X-23, reveals he has known since Episode 7 that Rogue was SHIELD and X-Men. He forces Rogue to tell Laura, then leaves. Laura can't handle the truth and gets angry. Still exposed to the trigger scent, her animal instincts take over and she stabs Rogue in the heart. Rogue collapses to the floor and dies, telling Laura not to blame herself, and that she loved her. Laura cries over Rogue for mere seconds before X-Force is in her ear shouting Patriot has gone mad and is going after Kate Bishop and Laura is the only one who can stop him—because she's the only one who can kill him. THIS is the FINAL SCENE.
NOTE: This episode has to have enough time for X to stab Rogue and discover the truth (earlier in the episode) and still meet up with Patriot to raid the Weapon X facility, where Patriot goes mad and that crosses over to the end of Bishop
"Most believe there are two types of people who enter a crucible: those who are strong and survive it, and those who die. There's a third type: the kind that learns to love the fire."
PLEASE NOTE: I came up with this episode planner months before I actually began Season 2 and it has experienced frequent changes. This was the final version for where Season 2 would have gone. What I was trying to do was build up as many storylines as possible, then sever them all in the season finale. These would have been resolved in Season 3, which would have taken place a year or two in the future and would have featured:
Episode One: A New Threat (Follow up to explain what happened after "Unthinkable" while still leaving mysteries for the third season.) It would have mainly dealt with the Phoenix Force. First scene is reading Rogue's will, Laura facing her demons in counseling with Jean, skip six months ahead to modern day mutants. Laura breaks up with Julian b/c she needs time to figure out who she is after Rogue's betrayal and death at her hands, Rahne's child is born. Magneto and his Brotherhood have been captured by the Sentinel Project
Gambit looked at the coffin. "I never even knew her name." He noted sadly, and tossed the rose on top.
Episode Two: Guardians of the Galaxy (While on a vacation, the [alien race] comes to Earth to wipe out the Phoenix Force and the Grey Family Line. While they murder Rachel's grandparents, the Guardians of the Galaxy swoop in to save her.
Episode Three: Guardians v. Avengers (The Guardians try to hunt down [alien race] but find themselves at odds with what is left of SHIELD. Meanwhile, the Red Skull, recently returned (would have occurred in an X-23 short during Seasons 2 and 3) manipulates the Avenger's attitude with the Mind Gem (aka Loki's Scepter from The Avengers. The [alien race] murder Scott, Jean in rage, unleashes the Phoenix Force. While Rachel explains she came back to keep an eye on her mom and explains the Phoenix Force, she does not mention her plan to "cure" her mother, despite protests from Kitty and Jubilee, the first part in alienating herself from them. Kitty and Starlord grow close, Piotr disapproves, Illyana catches Kitty kissing Peter and fusses at her, eventually tells her brother, two break up. Laura and Gamora get along very well, Gamora reminds Laura of Rogue, two talk, Gamora helps bring peace to Laura. Gamora leaves sword with Laura, tells her she would only give it to a true warrior, and Laura can contact her at any time using the sword if she ever needs help,
Episode Four: Naw, I had nothing for this. A bridge episode to calm down before…
Episode Five: AXIS: X-Men vs Avengers! Part I (The Mid-Season Finale. Does it get more badass? While the Avengers confiscated the (Mind) Infinity Stone from Red Skull (from Guardians v. Avengers) they do not realize it is making them more hostile towards everybody, prompting SHIELD and Director Maria Hill (Fury killed in HYDRA battle at end of Season 2, captain goes down with his helicarrier) to send the X-Men to investigate, end of episode leads into huge, destructive battle in middle of NYC, cut in middle of battle. Rahne's child continues to grow at an alarmingly fast pace, already five years old. Laura struggles with her instincts to kill. Kate Bishop and Young Avengers fight Young X-Men as well)
Episode Six: AXIS: X-Men vs Avengers! Part II (Basically battle continues, X-Men and Avengers pretty much reach stalemate, Red Skull steals mind gem, lifts spell on Avengers to use gem to do something terribly apocalyptic and HYDRA-like, X-Men and Avengers have to fight and save the day. Good reputation for mutants and Avengers. Charles Xavier has cancer)
Episode Seven: Asgardian (Immediately after Avengers vs X-Men, end with X-Men's defeat and Rahne with wolf-prince Focus on Rahne this story. Dunno exactly what I was going to do, but basically the X-Men go to Asgard to aid Thor—but it's Loki! He ends up trapping them all.)
Episode Eight: As Cold as Ice (Loki teases Laura about having a heart as cold as ice when he sees her with Gamora's blade and says only those with no compassion can have one. Julian, who is Hellion after Sinister's kidnapping, reminds her of him and she ends up helping defeat Loki.
Episode Nine: Nada
Episode Ten: Plague (Series Finale! Basically, the CIA and SHIELD recruit X-Force to help hunt down the Legacy Virus, an Extinction Sized biological weapon that could wipe out mutants or humans, bring back old Magneto rivalry for nostalgia, Sublime makes everyone believe HYDRA has it, then betrays them, defeats everyone there except X-23, whom he gives the Virus to. Despite her immune system and healing power, she will die in a year. Oh, yeah, and Rachel gets screwed in her relationship. AGAIN. Basically wrapping up everything except the two stones: the one after Days of Future Past, and another one that would have moved after X-23 killed Rogue.)
X-Men short to take care of Rahne's child
X-Men: Standing Guard – Apocalyptic Visions (Movie) So basically, Xavier is dying of cancer, he's almost dead. Laura is almost dead from Infinity Virus. She tries to break up with Julian so he doesn't have to suffer, but he refuses, citing he was with her when he found out she was a mutant, assassin, created by Nazi death cult, etc. and he's not leaving her now. After establishing everything, Jean is called into the deserts of Egypt to scout something. Rachel uses Psylocke and Kitty and helps "cure" her mother of the Phoenix Force - by transferring it into herself! Only Kitty knew of this. The X-Men arrive and chastise Rachel, but Apocalypse awakens, destroying a Great Pyramid. Xavier tries to talk to him, but Apocalypse kills him and leaves, thinking the X-Men no threat. The X-Men, Avengers, Young Avengers, SHIELD, the nations of the world, the Brotherhood, and basically anyone ever mentioned in this series come help. Then, near the end, the Guardians of the Galaxy show up when Laura uses her sword to call Gamora, first time ever. Peter Rasputin is killed in battle and Kitty grieves, but is happy she has Starlord. While evacuating a facility to prepare for the final battle with Apocalypse, McKenna rushes out to save her sister, forcing Laura to drag her away. Kitty, shocked McKenna is alive, is then forced to watch as she is murdered by Apocalypse. She then reveals the TRUE reason why the Hand wanted her, and helps kill Apocalypse. Gamora absorbs part of the Infinity Virus from Laura, as does Julian as part of a ritual, and they cure her of it. All plot lines would have been wrapped up.
Remember, I wrote this a year ago, and never got around, unfortunately, to finishing it. I would have loved to finish it, but I couldn't. Life's a bitch. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed learning what all you missed out on, Im sorry I couldn't write it, but tell me what you think of the story! If you have ANY questions, message me or review and I will answer them ASAP as best as I can. Loves! Thanks! And I hope you enjoyed X-Men: Standing Guard.
