"Where ARE we...?" asked Polaris, levitating in midair, spinning slowly to give herself a 360 degree panoramic view of the area... "It...appears to be ancient Egypt..." said Mountjoy/Xavier, "...at a time BEFORE it became a barren desert land...!" "But is it the past...? Or is it an altered reality...?" asked Forge, staring up at the skies to see if there were any signs of present life? Good question..." said Beast, unable to determine himself. "...if we've somehow teleported to the past, it would have to be about 6000 B.C. years ago...!" "Can we go BACK...?" asked Forge, curiously. "There doesn't seem to a BACK to go back to!" said Polaris, looking behind them the sky view. "There's just Egyptian vegetation everywhere I look! Who knew the grounds could be so beauty...?" she asked, completely taken by the breathtaking view and palm trees and majestic landscapes... "Well...it WAS supposed to be the birthplace of Adam and Eve and The Garden Of Eden..." reminded Calisto, holding Angel's hand. "...it should be a virtual Paradise!" Banshee rolled his eyes, ready to barf! "Yes..." said Beast agreeing with Polaris, leaping atop a tree for a better scope. "...a lot can happen to a climate in 5000 years...!" "After yur all finished lookin' at the bu-t-ful scenery..., just come down off cloud nine and remember WHY we're here...! A madman's abducted our friends: Storm, Jean, and Dana Moonstar...!" snarled Logan, ready to make someone pay for all his inconvenience. "We haven't forgotten, Logan..." said Angel, taking flight as he spread his beautiful white wings... "...just taking a moment to appreciate what no longer exists in our time!" "So...did we PASS into a time portal of some sort, Professor...?" asked Cyclops, unable to believe they're still in the same Egyptian period as a moment ago... "I'm...not sure, Scott..." said Mountjoy, "...I...still find it difficult to use my telepathic powers here..., so I cannot detect the minds of anyone inside or outside the force shied we passed through to get here...!" "Force shield or transporter...?" questioned Gambit, giving caution to his friends. "What could be powerful enough to block Professor Xavier's telepathy...?" questioned Cannonball, standing among his friends [Thunderbird, Colossus, and Gambit]. "Maybe we'll find some answers in one of those buildings...?" pointed Spike, noticing some newly restored dwellings in the distance. "We'll scout ahead...!" suggested Polaris, flying with Angel, Banshee, Cannonball, and Northstar. Thunderbird [a North American changeling] shape-shifted into an American Hawk and joined the others in flight, while the rest of the X-Men [Mountjoy/Xavier, Beast, Forge, Calisto, Wolverine, Cyclops, Colossus, Gambit, Spike, and Bishop] all followed on foot. Some of them [like Beast and Mountjoy] taking to the trees, leaping through the air from tree top to tree top, while the others all hiked it through the thick forest vegetation [with Wolverine and Calisto as the guides]. Wolverine kept a wary eye on Calisto, still unsure if he was worthy joining their ranks. The jury was still out on him becoming an X-Man like Angel petitioned for. Had there not been an emergency, he might well have been tossed out on his ear [chap-47, pt-2], as it was he was only invited to the party because 2 of his Morlocks were abducted as well. Then there was Mountjoy...! Wolverine looked back just in time to see Mountjoy aiding Cyclops over a hill. The overprotective manimal stopped in his tracks and quickly doubled back... "Hands off, bub...!" he shouted, shoving Mountjoy away before roughly grabbing Scott's arms and pulling him up the side of the hill to safety... "Hey...what was THAT for...?" asked Cyclops, taking note of the unnecessary roughness... "Yes Logan, indeed..., what has gotten into you...?" asked Mountjoy [with Xavier's tone], catching his balance... "You just STAY AWAY from him, got it...?!" growled Logan, pulling Scott along [the recent memory of Mountjoy's cum scent inside Scott's ass, still haunting his mind, /chap-46]... "HEY..." protested Scott, feeling like a piece of leftover meat the dogs were fighting for... "..what is your PROBLEM...?!" he yell frustrated, prying his arm from Wolverine's death grip. "I don't want YOU nowhere near HIM!" snarled Logan, obsessively. Cyclops looked around embarrassed...hoping no one noticed the lover's quarrel they were having...? Unfortunately Wolverine's jealousy didn't go unnoticed... "Trouble in paradise...?" joked Calisto, watching all the drama unfold. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ MEANWHILE Overhead, the other X-Men were closing in on one of the dwellings, a beautiful structure of Egyptian design, completely finished and untouched by time. Northstar [the fastest flier among them] reached the dwelling first, and landed. Before awaiting the others, he peered into the large entry way, but was knocked back by a telekinetic force. "NORTHSTAR!" shouted Polaris, seeing the boy sail backward as if pulled by an invisible rope. But as The X-Men swooped in to help, a fiery ball of pure fire suddenly came barreling up behind them out of nowhere, striking Angel in the back, singing his wings. Unable to fly, Angel began to tumble out of the sky, pummeling towards the ground. Luckily his friend [and longtime ex-lover] Banshee was there for the rescue, catching the winged man midair and taking him in quickly for a soft [safe] landing... "ANGEL!" cried Polaris, after seeing her friend rescued. "What happened to him...?" "Something attacked him...!" said Cannonball, shooting through the air like a circus act. Polaris turned around to find herself face to face with their attacker... "INTRUDERS..." yelled Sunfire [along with: Storm, Mystique, and Magneto], all dressed in ancient Egyptian apparel and head dress, and all physically altered to the molecular level to resemble Apocalypse: 9 feet tall, with ashy gray skin and ancient war paints. "...BY THE ORDER OF THE ROYAL GUARD OF APOCALYPSE; WE COMMAND THAT YOU SURRENDER AT ONCE! OR DIE!" On the ground, Calisto came out into a clearing, where he found an unconscious Banshee holding Angel [with singed wings] in his arms, an Egyptian male standing over the bodies menacingly [surveying them], before rolling Banshee over on his stomach and pulling down the ass of his spandex pants to reveal his hairy buttock. Unsure what the Egyptian man was doing, Calisto lay low and observed as the Egyptian lowered his face to Banshee's ass and began eating his asshole. Calisto felt his dick starting to stir when the Egyptian abruptly came up from wetting Banshee's anus, then rammed his 14" erection straight up the unconscious X-Man's ass! "UHHGG...!" groaned Banshee [even unconscious], as his body was penetrated and fucked. "What the hell'r YOU lookin' at...?!" asked Wolverine, stumbling across the same sight as Calisto. "Who's that on top of Banshee...? And WHY ain't you doin' shit to stop `em...??!" he asked, angrily. "Because we NEED to access the enemy before engaging..." strategized Calisto. "...whoever HE is, he was powerful enough to take out both Banshee AND Angel...! HE must have some formidable powers...!" "Formidable shormiable..., I ain't standin' by watchin' as some Egyptian VEGAS performer rapes one of our own guys! You IN or you out...?!" asked Wolverine, charging forth willy-nilly. "I guess I'm IN..." said Calisto to himself, running behind Wolverine as they charged the unsuspecting Egyptian rapist. But before the two mutants could get any closer, the Egyptian pulled out of Banshee's ass [his long hard dick swinging like a baseball bat[, then shoved his hands forward, instantly causing them the same intense nausea that hit Banshee when he landed with Angel moments before... "UHG..." choked Calisto, ready to vomit... The two mutants fell to the ground, withering in absolute pain and agony, both feeling sicker than they ever had before in their lives! Just when they were about to pass out from the stain of it all, Cyclops' red optic eyebeam blasted out from the bushes, striking the Egyptian man head-on, knocking him down for the count. "Logan..." called Cyclops, running into the field with Beast. "...are you alright...?" "Yeh kid..." said Wolverine [his healing factor already kicking in] as Scott helped him up off the ground and onto his feet. "...thanks..." he said genuinely, making Scott smile boyishly. Calisto jumped up and ran over to aid Angel, rolling him over to check his vitals... "How is he...?" asked Beast, checking on the unconscious Banshee [who continued to lie face down on the ground with his pants pulled down under his bare buttock... "He's OUT cold..." said Calisto, cradling Angel in his arms. "...his wings'r badly burnt...! I don't think he'll be able to fly...!" "Perhaps we can get your Morlock HEALER to heal him once we've find them all...?" suggested Beast, gently pulling apart Banshee's butt cheeks to check his bruised anus for damage. "Sean will live..." he surmised from the quick examination, "...although I suspect his anus will feel quite SORE for a while...!" he added, watching the Egyptian's silvery semen starting to ooze from his ravished hole. "Hold it..." said Wolverine, stopping as Cyclops helped walk him towards the others. "...I recognized that power signature that Egyptian guy was usin' on me and Cal..." he said, staring down at the unconscious Egyptian that attacked them. "...it was VERTIGO!" "Vertigo...?" questioned Cyclops, as Wolvie pulled away to get a closer look at the body. "The HOT chick from The Brotherhood...?" he recalled. "But she's a girl!" he argued, looking down over Wolverine's shoulder... "NOT anymore..." said Wolvie, examining Vertigo's manly torso and muscular form. "...seems like she's been genetically altered somehow..." he surmised, lifting Vertigo's loincloth to examine her newly created male genitalia. "...and from the looks of it..." he said, staring at the long soft penis... "...endowed like a HORSE!" "Wow..." responded Scott, staring down through his red ruby quartz visor. Logan quickly recovered the Egyptian phallus with the loincloth, then looked back over his shoulder at Scott, jealously... "Expanding Force Shields, genetically altered mutants..., this surpasses Magneto and The Brotherhood's capabilities...!" said Beast. "So there's a THIRD party involved...?" asked Wolverine. "Who?" "The GUY reporters said came up out The Pyramid Of Khufu before everything went white...!" suggested Cyclops. "The ONE they reported created the DOME in the first place...? "Many of the locals called him Apocalypse..., but I recall hearing of no such Pharaoh in Egyptian history!" recalled Beast. "Perhaps HE was from before Egyptian History...?" suggested Calisto. "Hold that thought, bub...!" said Wolverine, picking up a scent. The X-Men all went into defensive mode as Wolverine scanned the area with his keen animalistic sensibilities. Calisto also picked up on the new scent, as well as Beast who began to scourer the area... "Other there!" pointed Beast, seeing someone running rapidly through the brush. The X-Men took off after him, leaving Cyclops to watch over Banshee and Angel. The three mutants followed the man through the wild vegetation, Beast taking to the trees while Wolverine and Calisto followed on foot. The man [the mutant Scribe] ran for his life, frightened beyond belief after watching Apocalypse take out the entire Brotherhood and The Twelve. Phasing through the Pyramid walls [possessing the power of intangibility], he escaped into the redesigned realm of Apocalypse, only to find himself lost. Acutely aware that someone was chasing him, he ran through trees and vegetation with the power of intangibility, letting nothing in his path stop him from getting away. He was fairly certain that he lost whoever was chasing him, when Beast suddenly cut off his exit route by jumping down in his path. Unsure if The X-Man was friend or foe, Scribe tried to backtrack, but was instantly tackled by both Wolverine and Calisto at the same time... "You can't defeat him...!" he warned, as they held him to the ground, twisting his arms behind his back painfully. "He's much too powerful...! Even Magneto discovered that when he tried to confront him face to face...!" "WHO...?" asked Wolverine, gripping a handful of Scribe's long white hair, twisting it around his hand to lock him in place as he extended his claws on his free hand with a [SHINK], bringing them in close to Scribe's slim boney face... "Ya betta start talkin' if ya kno' what's good fer ya...!" he warned, threating bodily damage. "From the beginin'..., and don't leave nothin' out!" "I'll tell you anything you want to know..." conceded Scribe. "...although I doubt it does you ANY good!" ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ MEANWHILE... Cyclops stayed behind to watch over their fallen friends and their captured enemy. He was keeping a close eye on the unconscious Egyptian, when he heard Banshee starting to stir. "Mr Cassidy..." he called, walking over to help, as Banshee seemed a little disoriented. "...are you alright...?" he asked. But Banshee began to scream out loud, his supersonic voice echoing throughout the Valley as his body withered in absolute pain. Cyclops was forced to cover his popping ears as he fell to his knees on the ground from the intensity. Banshee screamed a horrible death as his current body died, transformed into another, --longer, --taller, --stronger body... Cyclops' ears were still ringing long after Banshee stopped wailing. He watched as an Egyptian male rose in place of Banshee, standing 9 feet tall, muscular, with skin as gray as ash. "Banshee...?" he called, unsure if his friend/teacher/teammate was still inside, conscious...? His question however was answered, when the Egyptian Banshee opened his mouth and sent for a rippling scream headed his way. Cyclops dove out the path of the sonic energy which ripped through the air with the speed of sound, tearing through ground and trees like a lawnmower. The X-Men [Wolverine, Beast, and Calisto] returned to find Egyptian/Banshee moving in on Cyclops, and attacked him physically by jumping him simultaneously, dog piling him to the ground. However given Egyptian/Banshee's extra added strength, he easily tossed the three men off his back, scattering them in every direction. Beast was the first to recoup and charge back in, hitting Egyptian/Banshee with the power of an enraged gorilla. Egyptian/Banshee staggered, but did not fall. Calisto retaliated with an attack of his own, jumping 10 feet into the air before connecting atop Egyptian/Banshee's dome. Banshee staggered again, but did not fall. Then Wolverine ran up and clocked him once head-long across the face, his powerful fist backed by the Adamantium steel in his bones, making HIS punch the equivalent of being smack in a face with an iron beam. Egyptian/Banshee saw stars, before falling back on the ground unconscious. "Well...that took some doing...!" said Calisto, knowing the outcome would be different had they gone one on one. Beast quickly moved in to examine Banshee while he was still down... "Incredible..." he said, looking at his bone structure and design, "...he's been completely redesigned all the way down to the molecular level, simply by the SPERM of the Egyptian! Do you have any idea what THIS means...?" "Yeah..., don't get FUCKED by any ov `em...! What?" asked Logan, taking the bait. "It means that this Apocalypse...WHOEVER HE IS..., and his army of transformed Egyptian soldiers have the ability to redesign the very fabric of reality..., changing everything from Egypt, to people, and even changing their sexes...! This is incredible!" "Okay..." said Calisto, "...so he's very powerful, I GET it...! Now, how do we stop him...?" "You don't, you morons..., THAT'S what I've been trying to TELL you!" said Scribe, coming out of hiding. "APOCALYPSE is all powerful! He's the very FIRST mutant in creation! And not only was he the first mutant, HE was genetically ALTERED BY ALIENS! His body bonded with their technology, empowering him beyond imagination! I've SEEN him change Magneto and the others into mirror images of themselves, simply by FUCKING them! If just his SPERM is enough to change your DNA, what hope do we have to stop them...?! Once he was awakened, you can't get the genie back in the bottle after he's tasted freedom...!" "No...?" asked Wolverine, sounding skeptical. "The genie hasn't gone up against The X-Men before!" he proclaimed, POPPING his claws from his knuckles for emphases. "He'll GO back in the bottle...even if we have to do it ONE PIECE AT A TIME!" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Pt-2<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ELSEWHERE Cannonball streaked through the air like an out of control rocket, barreling into The Royal Guard like a cannon [Cannonball's nearly invulnerable while flying in cannonball mode], sending them scattered in every direction from the impact. Egyptian/Mystique was the first to recover, flying up behind Cannonball and metamorphosing into a giant sized King Cobra snake before jumping onto his back, twisting herself all about his limbs, tying him up in midair and causing him to lose control of his flight as he sped towards the ground with the velocity of a fueled jetliner. The ground exploding in impact as both Cannonball AND Egyptian/Mystique were knocked unconscious together. Thunderclouds instantly formed out of nowhere, turning the blue skies suddenly dark as thunder and lightning indicated the worst was yet to come. From out of nowhere came an Egyptian god, soaring on his own power, lightning bolts crackling about his clenched fists as if the god of thunder, his long distinctive white hair blowing majestically in the wind. "Storm...?" called Polaris, recognizing her energy signature more than her friend's face and body. Egyptian/Storm [transformed into Apocalypse's own MALE image] shot 10,000 bolts of pure electricity through Polaris' body, electrocuting her on sight. A normal person would have fried on the spot, however [due to Polaris' powers over the Earth's magnetic pull], Polaris was able to absorb most of Egyptian/Storm's electrical energy, using her body as a conductor to transfer that energy back through her magnetic powers as a force shield. Without warning Polaris felt the shield suddenly projecting around her, growing stronger with the energy her body absorbed. Feeling hurt and confused, Polaris lashed out with her powers, sending a magnetic discharge that streaked across the sky like an atomic explosion, striking Egyptian/Storm headon and sending him reeling backwards like a swatted fly. Polaris was beginning to feel empowered, when Egyptian/Magneto [the master of magnesium] was able to easily absorb Polaris' discharge into his own body, collecting the energy which he THEN turned BACK on Polaris' teammates... Thunderbird flew down to assist Northstar, who had been struck down [moments earlier] by telekinetic energy of some kind. Transforming from a North American Eagle, back into his Native Indian form, he bent down to check on Northstar's prognosis before heading into the dwelling to see what [or who] struck him? Inside he was met by the guardians of the dwelling, Egyptian females Jean Grey and Poison Ivy [transformed into female versions of Apocalypse's image]. "More intruders!" announced Ivy, attacking Thunderbird with hand to hand combat. "We must protect the QUEEN!" Thunderbird evaded Ivy's first attack by somersaulting out of her way, but she quickly followed up by activating her mutant abilities, causing super vines to sprout from the ground underneath him, entrapping his arms and legs, pulling them apart as if on a cross [X]. Thunderbird transformed into a North American BEAR, then ripped his way through the large vines, freeing himself with a mighty roar. Ivy countered his act by physically assaulting him with a series of well-placed hits, battering his animal form and sending him to the ground with a thump. Ivy stepped out into the open field, checking on her new prisoner, when she was suddenly bulldozed by an earthquake caused by Avalanche. "WHAT the hell was THAT...??" asked Toad, hopping into the field from the forest. "Looks like an Egyptian of some sort...! Like the ANCIENT kind from those old black and white movies from the 30's and 40's!" "Who CARES what it is...?" asked Avalanche, running into the field with Pyro, and Mimic... "It was fighting Thunderbird, which means it's NOT on our side!" "Since when'r WE onna same side as The X-Men...?!" asked Toad, as Avalanche buries Ivy under tons of rubble. "Since Magneto's big plan for world dominance went up in SMOKE!" answered Lance, rushing in to help Thunderbird. Thunderbird was understandably on the defensive when he realized his savors were The Brotherhood, grabbing Avalanche by the arm before wrestling him to the ground... "HEY...WE'RE ON THE SAME TEAM!" argued Lance. "Since WHEN...?!" asked Thunderbird, twisting Lance's arm. "TOLD you those X-Men would'n be interested in savin' OUR asses...!" scorned Toad, hoping onto Thunderbird's back, and drop kicking him across the field. "Now letz git the fuck up outta here...!" "HOW'r we supposed to DO that without Magneto...??" asked Avalanche. "We NEED The X-Men's help..., even if we have to beat it into their heads...!" "Beatin' heads..., I can DO that!" joked Toad. "The X-Men might not be the issue at the moment, Toad..." advised Pyro, pointing at an Egyptian Jean Grey standing in the doorway. "uh-oh..." said Toad, as Jean released a kinetic discharge which instantly knocked everyone out... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "The kinetic wave came from THIS way...!" yelled Spike, pole-vaulting through the air with one of his bone appendages..., landing in the very spot where The Brotherhood [Toad, Pyro, Avalanche, Mimic, and The X-Men's Thunderbird] lay unconscious... "uh-oh..." sounded Spike, suddenly realizing anything that could take out all of them, could easily wipe the floor up with HIM! "What is THIS...?" asked Mountjoy/Xavier, running into the clearing along with teammates: Forge, Bishop, Colossus, and Gambit. "WHAT could've been powerful enough to take out this whole team in one shot...?" asked Forge, looking at the bodies sprawled out over the grounds. "Not what, Forge...WHO..." corrected Mountjoy/Xavier, "...I recognized that energy signature we detected back there in the forest..." he informed, checking Thunderbird's vital signs through his pulse. "...it was JEAN!" "Jean...? Cool..." said Spike, "...she's on OUR side...!" "I wouldn't assume so right off the bat, Evan..." said Mountjoy/Xavier, looking up towards the dwelling to find an Egyptian woman resembling Jean Grey guarding the entrance. "...nothing is what it seems here in Apocalypse's world...!" "Do'n be crazy, Professor..., Jean's one of US...!" said Gambit, stepping forth to say hello. But before he could take a second step, Jean unleashed another telekinetic wave [this once stronger than before]. The energy trail could be seen speeding across the ground, soaring towards her targets as Xavier shouted... "Bishop...absorb that energy!" Bishop [the X-Men's resident time traveler] stepped up front, taking the kinetic blast head on. The other X-Men fell back, but not unconscious, as Bishop's mutant ability to absorb ambient energy kicked in. He absorbed Jean's telekinesis, then sent it back on her, sending the Egyptian Jean rearing backwards into the dwelling. "Quickly X-Men, while she's disorientated...!" shouted Xavier, leaping forward as he was the first to enter the dwelling, helping secure Jean by absorbing her into his body... The others stood by and watched in horror as Mountjoy's powers to absorb another living host's form into his own drew Jean's body into his, giving Xavier the power over Jean Grey's memories AND abilities... "Are you sure that's SAFE, Professor...?" asked Bishop [Mountjoy's arch enemy]. "What CHOICE do I have, Bishop...? She's far too valuable to leave lying around...!" said Xavier, taking the lead into the dwelling. The X-Men slowly approached a large bed [composed mostly of gathered leaves from the surrounding area] where The AVENGER: The Scarlet Witch lay [transformed into an Egyptian woman]. "Is that...?" asked Colossus, as they approached the bed... "The Scarlet Witch...yes..." answered Xavier, drawing off of Jean's memories. "And is she...?" "Pregnant...yes again!" answered Xavier, not needing his telepathy to know what his team was thinking. The Scarlet Witch, although pregnant with child, raised her hand defensively as she began to create a spell to fend off her attackers. Xavier shifted form into Jean Grey [in essence becoming Jean Grey], causing The Scarlet Witch to relax to a familiar face as she grabbed her swollen stomach in labor... "What's going ON, Professor...?" asked Forge, completely lost. "It appears, Forge..." said Jean/Xavier, gently touching upon The Witch's brow... "...that The Scarlet Witch is having Apocalypse's baby...!" --to be continued...
