Date: Sun, 25 Mar 2001 23:10:48 -0800 From: Abercromnie Subject: X-Factor: Chapter 1c Legal Disclaimer: The usual. X-men is owned and copyrighted by Marvel. I imply NOTHING about the people from the movie. If you sue me you will have to get in the back of a very long line of people who want my money. Warning: This story will contain violence. This chapter has a lot in it. This story will contain male-to-male sex and gay themes. If these types of things offend you, then - What the heck are you doing here? Side Note: Sorry for the delay on this one. I was pre occupied, and the aliens couldn't properly beam the messages down to me. So I was temporarily malfunctioning. All is in proper order now. Thank you to everyone who emails me. This story is roughly based on parts of the movie. I will be adding characters from the comics, and some of my own. Oh, and for those of you, who asked, my name is Jayson. ~ Scott and the red headed lady said they had some things to talk to me about in the morning. I nodded and then closed my eyes. I woke up to the sound of a girl screaming. I looked around the room but couldn't see through the darkness. Did I dream the scream? I got my answer, This time it was a man screaming. It abruptly ended. I grabbed my coat from the desk beside me and ran into the hallway. No one was around. "Going somewhere?" I turned around to see Bella. She was covered in blood and smiling. She started walking towards me, at amazing speeds. She got up to me and grabbed me by the throat. She picked me up and my feet were dangling off the ground. I couldn't breathe, I was struggling to get free, and my hands were grasping her hand, trying to pry it off. "Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you, Your much to important to do that, I am ordered to bring you alive - but they never said I couldn't wound you." With that she threw me across the dining hall into the wooden door on the other side and I broke through it. I hit the floor and landed in a heap. I moaned and tried to get up, Bella kicked my in my ribs and I flew about a foot into the air. She then grabbed me and started dragging me towards the door. We got outside and Bella pulled me to my feet, I was still out of it. The sky started getting cloudy, and it was abruptly raining. Bella let go of me and looked around. Thunder and lightning cracked in the sky. A bolt of lightning flew down and slammed into Bella sending her back into the building. I took this as my cue and started to run towards the gates of the school. I ran right into the arms of... Mr. Jannsen!? He smiled at me, then grabbed my wrists and put them together, he then spat on them, and green goo came out, it stuck to my hands, they were bonded together by what could only be described as pond scum. I struggled trying to remove the goo and Mr. Jannsen just laughed, then he grabbed me by my hair and started dragging me towards a van. In a moment of desperation I chared forward and bit his ear, he screamed in pain and kicked me. I had no idea he was this strong, I flew back 30 feet, and stopped in the air and floated slowly to the ground. Did I just fly again? Mr. Jannsen started running towards me and jumped, he jumped at least 15 feet before he stopped in the air. We both looked around. That's when the red haired lady came out. "Ah, Jean, you bitch. Might as well give up now, were taking this whore with us." Said Mr. Jannsen. I looked at Jean and she smiled kindly. "Sorry to disappoint you Toad, but I have a date with Scott, and you have a date with a fence." Toad looked at her confused she smiled then pointed at Toad and then at the metal fence about 60 feet away, Toad flew back at an amazing speed, right into the fence. It bent back at the force of the body. The rain ended all of a sudden. I started to cry and she told me it would be okay. I backed up and Jean asked me what was wrong, but I couldn't speak. Bella backhanded Jean and she flipped in the air and landed on the ground in an awkward position. I backed away from Bella and she walked forward slowly and calmly. "The weather witch has been dealt with. You're just delaying the inevitable, child. Come with us before we have to kill more of these fools." Said Bella. I gulped at the statement and continued to walk back. A ruby red ray shot Bella in the shoulder and she crouched down holding it. She looked over to see Scott. She ran at him at excessive speeds and jumped at him with her fists out. Another red ray came out of his glasses blasting Bella backward. She landed at my feet smoking slightly. "Are you alright Zach?" said Scott. I just held my gaze on Bella. "Is she dead?" I asked. "I'm not sure" he replied. He walked up to me and put his hand on my shoulder. "Hold still, I'll blast the slime off." said Scott, then a small ray came out of his glasses and blasted it all off. I breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly Bella reached over and grabbed Scott's foot. She pulled it and he fell onto his back with a *thud*. Bella stood up, blood running down her forehead. "I have had it with these games little one. I will drag your unconscious body back to Alan if I have to." She had this look in her eyes. I thought she would kill me if she got close enough. "S-s-stay where you are Bella!" I said. She just laughed at me and kept coming towards me. "I said stop!!!" there was this swishing noise, then vines in the ground came up and tangled around Bella's feet. "I don't believe this. Your defeated and yet you still resist. Any more delays and I will take it out on your slut of a mother." Spat Bella. I looked up at her shocked. She smiled at me and then leaned over and started ripping the vines off. I was breathing heavily, enraged at what Bella had said about my mother, and the fact she knew where she was. I thought of all the horrible things they might have done to her. There was another swishing noise and then the vines around Bella all sprouted thorns. I heard the awkward noise the thorns made as they punctured Bella's skin. She screamed in pain and started thrashing around trying to rip the vines off. All she did was push them in deeper and cut her hands up in the process. She started spasming and foaming at the mouth. Bella's eyes glazed over and then she fell back, blood pooling around her. The vines retracted into the ground, and then the ground healed over, like nothing had happened. I fell to my knees and vomited from the sight in front of me. Had I done this? Had I killed Bella? Suddenly Toad landed in front of me; he grabbed Bella and then jumped off. There was a bloodstain where Bella had been laying. I turned my back to the stain and grabbed my knees. Sitting in the fetal position. I cried and I cried, I cried until I couldn't cry anymore. I passed out on the lawn of the school, beside the bloodstain of the woman I had killed. ~ Well that's it for this chapter. What did you think? Very violent I know. I want you all to email me with who you think Zach should date? Logan, Scott, Bobby, or maybe even John? (The boy who makes a fireball in class. He is called "Pyro" in the comics.)
