	Title: LEGACY

THE ROCKIES, COLORADO

	Somewhere hidden in the mountains of an unassuming Colorado, is a
military base which had been responsible for building a band of mutant
hunting robots named The Sentinels. The Sentinels were originally created
to capture evil mutants the government deemed too dangerous for humanity,
however, one of the Sentinels' creators (Trask) decided that ALL mutants
were dangerous, and redesigned the robots to target Professor Xavier and
his School For Gifted Youngsters in New York City. A small band of X-Men
retaliated, battling the Sentinels while their colleagues ventured forth to
save Xavier and his students.

	Fighting topside on the surface of the military base were: Storm,
Polaris, Colossus, and Thunderbird. Gail force winds, thunder and
lightning, torrential rain, hail and sleet blustered through the Rocky
Mountains as Storm used all of the elements of nature at her disposal to
strike down as many Sentinels as her lightning bolts could strike. Colossus
turned his flesh and blood into organic steel, ripping up tons of granite
rock to hurl at his robotic opponents. Once the robots hit the ground,
Colossus would stomp them to death, ripping apart their metal husk into
millions of tiny pieces. Sentinels zeroed in, targeting him as one of the
most formidable mutants as they rushed to attack. During the battle
Colossus was hit with several arsenals which nearly rendered him
unconscious. Seeing her teammate's peril, Polaris used her powers over
magnesium to use Colossus' body as a weapon, using his mighty bulk as a
power ball to bowl the Sentinels over.
	But with each Sentinel they rendered inoperable, another took its
place, coming up out of the large entry hole in the military base's floor.

"We have to close that hole...!" said Thunderbird, morphing into a black
bear as he mauled a Sentinel to pieces with his sharp claws and teeth.

"Leave that to me...!" said Polaris, soaring skyward as the rain and sleet
tore at her lovely face. Her teammates covered her as she closed her eyes
and concentrated on the military base, using her powers over metal to bring
the entire surface of the base down on the hole. Iron and steel beams
crumbled and collapsed to her will, crashing in on itself and trapping and
destroying many of the Sentinels before they could exit from the
underground base.

	Underground, the second team of X-Men (Beast, Cyclops, Karma, and
Spirit) felt the underground base shake from the collapse topside. "We'd
best to get a move on, children...!" informed Beast, as Karma (managing to
mentally snag the brains of several armed army personnel) forced them to
escort her team to where they were holding the students captive.

"The students are behind that door...!" informed Karma, coming upon large
double metal doors which the solders had no access beyond.

"Leave that to me...!" said Cyclops, adjusting the settings on his visor as
he focused his eyes on the large door. His teammates stood back as a
focused red eyebeam shot from Cyclops' visor, ripping through the metal
door as if it were made of paper. The large metal doors broke open and
collapsed like a deck of playing cards.

"We're in!" announced Beast, as Karma used her mental control over the
solders to make them go in first with their rifles drawn.
	As the dust cleared, multiple red laser marks appeared on the
soldiers, as Sentinels (armed with the latest defenses) marked their
targets for death.

"HOLD FIRE..." said one of the Sentinels, monitoring the
door. "...LIFEFORMS ENTERING ARE HUMAN."

"Thanks for the tip, asshole!" said Karma, as the soldiers aimed their
automatic weapons up at the robots and opened fire.
       Bullets rang out by the hundreds, ricocheting off steel and iron as
the soldiers ventured forth in a straight line. The Sentinels (programmed
to protect human lives) held fire, even as some of the bullets pierced
their armored plates and began to destroy circuitry. When the soldiers ran
out of ammo and began to reload, the Sentinels descended, shooting the
humans with tranquilizers and gas grenades.

"I've lost contact with the soldiers...!" said Karma panic struck, as the
soldiers fell to the ground unconscious.

"Then it looks like we have to do the rest on our own...!" informed Beast,
jumping in through the entrance with a mighty leap, nabbing one of the
fallen soldier's automatic weapons and returned fire on one of the
Sentinels.
	The bullets pierced the robot's already cracked shell, exposing
vital programming. Cyclops focused his eyebeams on the exposed circuitry,
then blew the Sentinel's head off with one shot.

"You heard the Beast..., it's now or never!" yelled Cyclops, following
Beast's charge as he ran through the entrance on foot.
	Karma and Spirit ran in after them.

"My powers don't work against the robots..., they aren't afraid of
anything...!" complained Spirit, having the psychic ability to conjure
man's most terrifying fears.

"Then find another way to fight...!" said Karma, running over to one of the
computer consoles with another fallen soldier's rifle and began shooting at
the circuit board. "Help me free the students...!" she screamed, firing
wildly as smoke and sparks began to shoot out of the broken console...



>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SCENE-2<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<


	Not far away in one of the base's air ducts (hidden from the scans
of the Sentinels), were The Black Panther, Bishop, and Forge. Forge had
just been disciplined by The Panther (for his arrogance and disrespect) by
getting butt fucked up the ass during a mission. Forge took the fucking
like a man, receiving the full length of Panther's dick before the Avenger
filled his asshole full of his African mandingo load.
	But just when Forge believed his torture was over (with Panther's
climax), Bishop climbed onto his back and inserted his own cock.

	The 17 year old visitor from the future had been fucking Forge's no
longer virgin asshole for the last 5 full minutes, hammering at his sore
backside with deep penetrating blows, deliberately trying to cause the
older man discomfort for purposely needling him and Storm during their
rocky relationship. Forge bit hard into his lower lip, afraid to make any
sudden noises for fear that the automated machines would sense their
presence before their rescue efforts could be completed. Bishop humped his
hips into Forge's ass, driving his thick black dick well deep into the
older man's vulnerable ass. He could feel the tightness of Forge's hot
hairy hole squeezing his plunging shaft as he drilled through the path
already laid by the Black Panther.
	Panther's thick rich cum load coated Bishop's fat dick as it
plunged in and out of Forge's ass, making the second rape much easier than
the first. Forge could feel the enormously hard dick pummeling his bowels,
ramming deep into his bloated colon with strong force. Bishop held him
tightly, keeping him prisoner as he continued to drive his swollen cock
home. After the relentless fuckings of both black men, Forge's body began
to deceive him by actually relaxing and adapting to the thrusting spearing
deeply through his body. Bishop could feel the hole giving way as it
accepted his plunges with growing ease.

"T'Challa was right..." said the futuristic youth as he whispered into
Forge's ear. "...you ARE becoming a pussy-boy!" he teased, increasing the
speed of his thrusts as he drilled Forge's hole harder. "Admit it...you
like having our hard dicks in your hot pussy...!"

"No..., I don't...!" said Forge, shutting his eyes tight to block out
Bishop's taunting.

"You can't deny it..." said Bishop, never letting up as his dick plunged
balls deep with every inward thrust. "...T'Challa felt it when he was
fucking you, and I can feel it now! You love this...! Your body can't lie!"

"Fuck you, Bishop! I don't like it!" argued Forge, unconsciously throwing
his ass back to capture more dick.

"Lie all you want, white man..., but your body is telling me how much you
like it!" taunted Bishop. "I can feel your pussy swallowing me up...,
trying to get me to cum inside you! Your body's hungry for it! If I've lost
Storm forever, I'm gonna make YOU'RE my new cum dump!" said the teen,
making Forge moan aloud against his own will.
	Forge's erect cock started pulsing and pumping fresh cum onto the
air ducts' metal flooring as Bishop continued to ride him. "I can feel you
cumming...!" said the teenager, feeling the asshole spasm around his
manhood. "Your pussy's squeezing my dick to death..., you're gonna make me
cum inside you...! Do you want it, pussy boy...?"

"Yes..." moaned Forge out loud for the first time. "...give it to me! Cum
in me! I want it!"

"Here it cums...!" warned Bishop, shoving in all the way as his dick
suddenly unloaded. "...ARRRHHH...!!" groaned Bishop as thick heavy streams
of semen poured from his pulsating dick and balls, flooding Forge's bowels
with its second load of cum. Forge could feel the cock pulsing in his ass,
his warm bowels accepting the heated jets of creamy juice as his sphincter
muscles milked the throbbing shaft for all it was worth.
	Bishop was slowly regaining his spent energy when the air duct they
had been hiding in suddenly broke apart, causing the 3 males to spill out
onto the ground in the open.

"MUTANTS...!" said one of the patrolling Sentinels, having heard the cries
coming from the air duct, its eyes glowing bright red with energy it was
ready to fire.

"Move...!!" yelled Bishop, shoving Forge aside as the beam of energy shot
from its eyes and hit Bishop head on. Bishop yelled out loud in searing
pain, naked from the waist down as his mutant abilities reshaped and
reformed the energy, then repelled back on the Sentinel, blowing a large
hole through the robot's metal chest. The robot slowly feel over like an
old trashcan.
	Bishop fell down on his hands and knees weakly, still recovering
from his intense orgasm as Forge and T'Challa looked on in awe.

"You did well, Bishop..." said T'Challa, patting the young man on the
back. "...but we must get a move on..., more robots will be here soon!" he
added, jumping to his feet.
	Bishop pulled up his pants, tucking his soft dick as he looked over
at a frightened Forge.

"It's time...!" he said, signaling the older X-Man to get ready for battle.
	Forge pulled up his pants (which had been dragged down about his
ankles), then searched his pockets for the weapon he invented before
leaving the mansion.

"If I can find the computer's mainframe, I should be able to offset its
programming with this...!" he said, pulling out a miniature decoder.

"Then we need to get you to the mainframe...!" said Black Panther, looking
towards the ceiling. "The mainframe would need a lot of juice to power such
a demand on technology..., so we should follow the largest power lines..."
he suggested.

"...which will lead us directly to the mainframe...of course!" agreed
Forge.

"Whatever..., let's just get to it!" said Bishop, eager to get the mission
over with.
	Following Panther's lead, the 3 men follow the biggest power lines
leading deeper into the base compound...


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SCENE-3<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<


	As the battle raged with the X-Men and Black Panther verses The
Sentinel Robots, Professor Charles Xavier (the world's greatest telepath)
found himself trapped between two man sized Sentinels, both fucking his
weary body at both ends, shoving their man made dicks through his sore
swollen orifices as the continued to shoot an endless supply of oily semen
like poison into his body.

	Xavier's head lay tiled backward off one end of an examination
tables upside down, as a Sentinel drone rammed his artificial hips back and
forth, driving its prostatic penile limb in and out of Xavier's ballooned
throat. Professor Xavier could barely concentrate as the spermish poisons
entered into his blood stream and began shutting down his system. The
Sentinel fucking Xavier's throat rammed in, causing the Professor's throat
to bulge obscenely as he started to shoot more poisonous seed down his
throat.
	At the same time the Sentinel at his ass was slamming into his
bowels, its oiled slicked dick sliding easily through the Professor's
loosened hole. The Sentinels clutched Xavier's waist as it slammed its hips
forth, then unloaded a torrent of oil based seed into his asshole. This
last double dose was just enough poison to push the Professor over the
edge, causing Xavier's body to shake and convulse orgasmic, before falling
dead and limp on the table.

	Trask watched with less enthusiasm than he thought, as the life
slowly seeped from Professor X's body. With the Professor's death, Trask
thought he would have closure, but it was quite the opposite as he felt
even emptier now that he had had his revenge and his evil task had been
completed.
	Xavier's death changed nothing, as Trask's family was still
dead. Suddenly he realized that no level of revenge would satisfy his loss,
his family would still forever be gone. He suddenly regret killing the
Professor and kidnapping his students. But even as Trask tried to stop the
current programming and redirect the Sentinels to free the prisoners, the
prime directive overrode his new commands, as the computer mainframe sent
Sentinel guards in to subdue Trask.

"Wha...what're you doing...??!" he asked, as the two Sentinels that had
fucked Professor Xavier to death, retracted their erections and broke into
the main control room where Trask commanded.

"YOU HAVE TRIED TO CHANGE OUR PROGRAMMING..." said one of the robots,
breaking in through the observation window. "...WE CANNOT ALLOW YOU TO
TAMPER WITH OUR PRIMARY DIRECTIVE!"

"I'm Trask..." yelled the scientist, backing against the wall
defensively. "...security clearance 7-8-1-2-8-4-1-1! I command you to shut
down and cease all actions!" he ordered.

"NEGATIVE, DOCTOR!" answered the Sentinel, standing guard.

"I created you...!" shouted Trask. "I programmed your data...! I command
you to shut down now!"

"NEGATIVE! YOUR LOGIC CONFLICTS WITH OUR PRIMARY DIRECTIVE! HUMANS ARE TO
BE PROTECTED FROM MUTANTKIND BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY! WE WILL NOT DIVERT
FROM THAT PROGRAM!"

"I was wrong..." argued Trask, breaking down at the thought of Xavier's
death on his hands. "...we have no right to take a life, no matter who it
is! That's the core basis of our humanity! Without it, we're no better than
they are!"

"THIS LOGIC DOESNOT COMPUTE!" said the Sentinel, emotionlessly. "MUTANTS
ARE A DANGER TO MANKIND, AND THEREFORE MUST BE TERMINATED!"

"Noooooo...!!" yelled Trask, seeing the error of his ways too late.
	Trask realized that the Sentinel's mainframe must have programmed a
backup grid in case anyone tried to tamper with its programming. In
essence, the computer was beginning to make its own decisions. `Computers
cannot be allowed to make complicated human decisions', thought Trask,
knowing he needed to do something or else all of Xavier's students would
suffer the same fate as the Professor.
	Leaving the mainframe behind, Trask walked over to the computer
monitors showing Xavier's imprisoned students in various states of
suspended animation. The Sentinels made no move to stop him (since he was
not endangering the mainframe) as he began to key in codes to awaken the
students. In a secured section of the base a few levels down, the cells
were unlocked, freeing Xavier's students.

"SENSORS INDICATE MUTANT PRISONERS IN SECTOR-7 HAVE BEEN FREED FROM THEIR
CELLS!" said the Sentinel, downloading information from the mainframe. "WE
MUST NOT ALLOW MUTANTS TO ESCAPE BACK INTO HUMAN POPULATED AREAS! SEND ALL
AVAILABLE UNITS TO INTERCEPT...!"

"No...!" yelled Trask, being held back by his own robots...


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SCENE-4<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

SECTOR-7

	The students were slow to awaken, as their young impressionable
minds began to recount events which lead them there. The oldest ones
(Banshee, Cannonball, Gambit, and Northstar) helped the younger ones from
their suspended cells.

"Nightcrawler...! Multipleboy...!" called Banshee (seeing the two young
boys for the first time since chaps-6 & 7), hugging the two long lost
mutants. "Are you alright...?"

"I...I think so..." said Robby (Multipleboy), still feeling woozy from the
gasses which kept them physically frozen.

"Where are we, daddy...?" asked Banshee's daughter Syran, accompanied by
Rogue, Magma, and Premonition.

"I'm not sure, darlin'...!" admitted Banshee, looking about the
base. "Jean..., do you sense anything...?"
	Jean Grey (Premonition) closed her eyes and concentrated, probing
the minds of anyone within reach of her mental telepathy...

"The X-Men are here...!" she informed gleefully, her eyes lighting up with
hope and recognition.

"Where are they...?" asked Banshee.

"One level up...! They're looking for us!" she said, enthusiastically.

"Can you tell them where we are...?" asked Banshee, his question cut off
with the arrival of a band of mutant hunting Sentinels.

"We're not alone...!" warned Banshee, as the Sentinels made themselves
known.

"MUTANTS, YOU WILL CEASE ALL ACTIVITY OR YOU WILL BE TERMINATED!" they
threatened.

"If we're going to get out of here children..., we're going to have to
fight our way out...!" informed the older X-Man, opening his mouth to
scream as an ear piercing screech escaped his throat, --a sonic yell which
hit the lead robot head on and caused its outer shell to crack as computer
components fell from its head. Syran jumped in beside her father, opening
her mouth as a long loud wail escaped her powerful vocal cords. The duel
screams shattered the Sentinels circuitry, rendering them useless as they
froze and fell over, hitting the ground hard like fallen lampposts.
	Banshee smiled down at his teenage daughter, having helped him
topple their greatest threat.

"Ya heard th' man, yall..., fight for it!" yelled Cannonball, shooting
forth with the speed of a cannon as he bowled into the mutant hunters as if
they were pins waiting to be toppled.
	Magma turned on her mutant power as living lava, and threw searing
projectiles of molten earth at the Sentinels, burning holes straight
through their metal bodies and melting key components. Meanwhile Spike and
Gambit used their own formidable powers to fend off the hunters as well,
helping lesser powered students escape.

	Back in the computer's mainframe, Trask was still be closely
watched by one of the Sentinels, making sure the scientist made no further
moves to try to reprogram their circuitry. Trask felt like a prisoner as
the Sentinel's beady red eyes stayed focused on his person.
	Just outside the control room, Black Panther, Forge, and Bishop
appeared. "This looks like where the circuit trail leads...!" said
T'Challa, paying more attention to the ceiling grid than where he was
headed. The Sentinel turned just as the intruders appeared. Its red glowing
eyes shinned brightly as it prepared to attack. Trask saw the 3
unsuspecting mutants about to be fired upon, and ran to jump in front of
them just as the Sentinel fired. The beams struck the scientist in the
back, piercing his fragile body and fatally wounding him as he fell forward
into Panther's arms.

"DISASTER! DISASTER! A SENTINEL HAS CAUSED HARM TO A HUMAN! COMMENCE WITH
AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN AND RECOMFIGURATION!" said the robot, going off line as
its red glowing eyes darkened and faded to black.
	All over the military base the Sentinels started shutting down,
falling to the ground with heavy thumps as their "brains" were shut off.

	In Sector-7, the students cheered as the Sentinels ceased
functioning, joined by Beast, Cyclops, Karma and Spirit. Topside: Storm,
Polaris, Colossus, and Thunderbird looked in shock as the Sentinels
suddenly stopped fighting and fell over lifelessly.

"What the hell happened...?" asked Bishop, standing over the motionless
robot as Black Panther held Trask's dying body in his arms.

"It compromised its programming by killing one of the humans it was
designed to protect!" informed Forge. "We designed the mainframe with a
failsafe in case any humans got killed in the crossfire! I suppose they
never changed that part of the robots directives...!"

"So it's over...?" asked Bishop.

"Well..., the computer shut itself down to reconfigure its programming...,
but while it's in its vulnerable state, I can use the decoder to erase its
programming completely! Without me or Trask to program it, the government
would eventually shelve it indefinitely!"

"Then do it!" ordered Bishop, as Forge went to work attaching his
devise. "I can't believe it's over that quickly..." said the teenager,
looking towards Panther as he rolled Trask over onto his back and closed
the dead man's eyes.

"It's not over til I've find my son...!" said Panther, looking out of the
broken control room window to see Professor Xavier lying lifelessly on an
exam table. "Isn't that Xavier...?" asked the Avenger, causing Bishop and
Forge to look down over the ledge.

"Oh my god...!" said Forge, as he ran for the steps leading into the room
while Black Panther and Bishop simply jumped down from the booth.

"He's dead..." said Bishop, checking Xavier's pulse, an oil compound oozing
from his open mouth and dripping anus. "What the hell did they do to
him...??" asked Bishop, just as Beast and his team entered the room...
	News of Xavier's death spread quickly, causing many of the mutants
to cry in sorrow at the death of their mentor, and his legacy.


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SCENE-5<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<


CANADA

	Along a long stretch of wilderness runs a lone highway Logan (aka:
Wolverine) is strongly familiar with. He rides a supped up Harley Davison
to a secret location, the memory of his former lover's voice burnt in his
mind ever since receiving her frantic phone call (chap-15). Images of her
in danger fill his head as he blow through check points and boarder lines,
determined to make his rendezvous before its too late.
	In the distance he could see the small familiar cabin at the top of
the ridge. He accelerated, pushing the bike beyond its limits as he leaped
off the rolling cycle, somersaulted through the air, and crashed through
the wooden door like a dive bomber. Rolling on the cabin floor, he quickly
jumped to his feet, extending his metal claws with a [SHINK] sound as he
readied himself for battle.

<"Yuriko...!"> he yelled out, calling HER name. But the cabin was empty,
save for the roaring fire and a steaming hot cup of coffee on the table.
	Wolverine sniffed the air, smelling familiar scents as he turned
around and looked towards the door.

"Logan, Logan, Logan..., stupid predictable Logan...!" said Sabretooth,
walking through the entrance. "One call from HER, and you're still putty in
her hands...!"

"Where is she...?!" snarled Logan, his mouth twisted angrily.

"You tell me, Logan..., can't you smell her scent all over me...?" asked
Sabretooth with a wink.
	Indeed Wolverine could smell HER scent on him..., the scent of sex!
With a might leap he jumped forward, tackling the taller mutant and sending
them both out into the Canadian dirt before Sabretooth (using his muscled
legs) tossed Wolverine up into the air about 25 feet. Sabretooth jumped to
his feet as Wolverine twisted and turned his body in midair like a gymnast,
then landed squarely on his feet, --his claws still extended for battle.

"YAAAAAA...!!" yelled the human manimal as he began to charge. But suddenly
out of nowhere came a small blur. Before Logan even knew what hit him, he
found himself falling to the ground from a flying kick to the face.
	As he hit the ground on his stomach, he looked up to see a small
midget cart-wheeling into a fighting stance a few yards away. "Puck...?!"
called Wolverine, shaking his head as if seeing a mirage.

"The one and only, bub!" said the short bald man, a half chewed cigar
hanging out of his mouth.

"What'r you doin here, shorty...?" asked Wolvie, getting to feet.

"Same as the rest of us...!" said another familiar voice as Wolverine
turned around just in time to see a large orange hairy Sasquatch leaping
through the air. Before Wolvie could react, the Sasquatch landed directly
in front of him, back slapping him across the field.
	Wolverine felt himself being catapulted into a tree as the wind was
knocked from his lungs and he slowly fell to his knees.

"Oh..., is THAT how we're gonna play it...?" asked Wolvie, spitting the
taste of his own blood from his mouth. "You're ALL gonna jump me, eh...? Is
the whole ALPHA FLIGHT team here...?"

"I'm surprised you remember us, Logan...!" said voice from above. Wolverine
looked up just in time to see Guardian flying overhead. He aimed his fist
in Logan's direction, sending projectile beams in the X-Man's
direction. Logan barely had time to cartwheel out of harms' way before
regular vines grew up out of the ground, quickly wrapping around his arms
and legs, securing him as strongly as steel cables.

"Shaman...!" yelled Wolverine, recognizing the signature move as the
medicine man levitated out of the sky to land softly on the ground a safe
distance away.

"Where IS she...??!" yelled Wolverine, pulling at the vines with all his
might. The strain could be seen on Shaman's middle-aged Indian face as he
felt connected to the earth and its natural elements. "Where's
Yuriko...?!?!!"

<"I am here, Logan-san...:> said a woman's voice from behind.
	Wolverine quickly turned his head as the quaint Chinese woman
[draped in authentic Chinese garments and her hair swept up in a bun] walk
up beside him. Wolverine looked her up and down, relying on his sensitive
senses to confirm if she was real.

<"I am real, Logan..., it is I, --Yuriko..."> she said, as if reading his
very thoughts.

<"What happened to you..."> asked Logan, <"...you sounded so frightened
over the phone...!">

<"Did I..., my former love...?"> asked Yuriko, touching Logan's rugged face
with her dainty hand.
	Logan's eyes fluttered to her touch as memories of his past and
their love flooded his brain. But his reminisce was short lived as the
woman called Yuriko grew long sharp fingernail claws, and sliced them
across Wolverine's face, --drawing blood bone deep.

"AARRHHHH...!!" yelled Wolverine as the nails sliced through his skin.
	He looked at the woman questionably as she turned his nails up to
her face and licked his blood away.

<"I'm not the same girl I used to be, Logan-san...!"> she confessed,
backing away into the arms of Sabretooth.

<"What did Striker do to you...?!"> asked Logan, as Sabretooth kissed her
fully on the lips, slipping his tongue into her mouth before breaking apart
to look him face to face.

"Oh..., you'll find out soon enough, runt...!" smiled the larger man, just
before punching Wolverine in the face and blacking him out cold.
