AtlanticStar, Catseye, Empath, Firestar, Penance, Surge, Wormhole, ___________________________________________________________________ X-Men Tales: -pt59 Title: MUTANT WARS ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ RECAP GENOSHA is an island country in the North Atlantic Ocean [somewhere between The Brazilian and African Continents], that claimed to be a safe haven for the world's unwanted mutants, only to enslave them as mindless workers once admitted to the island. The X-Men [Storm, Wolverine, Bishop, and Cyclops] infiltrated the country, pretending to be human tourists in order to discover the truth. Unfortunately for them, they were ambushed and separated, with Cyclops and Storm getting captured by the Genoshian Government, while Bishop, Wolverine, Havok, Calisto, and Weapon-X [Yuro] searched The Citadel to find them! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Pt-1<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< THE ELEVATOR SHAFT Calisto [one of Xavier's newest members/teachers] and Havok [student] touched down on the roof of the elevator, after concluding the Citadel basement the best place to look for X-Men survivors...! "Ground Floor..." asked Havok, looking at Calisto for guidance. "...everybody off...?" Calisto looked down over the edge of the immobile lift... "Service Ladders go down further...!" he informed, noticing levels below ground. The two X-Men took a ladder on either side of the elevator, climbing below ground as they came down on the other side of the shaft. "Sub-levels...?" asked Havok, looking back at his teacher. "Why not?" asked Calisto, moving faster as he raced towards the bottom. "The X-MEN ain't the only ones who do experiments underground!" "NOT experiments..." defended Havok, trying to keep up. "...they're TRAINING us how to better hone our powers...!" "Whateva!" said Calisto, reached the bottom of the shaft first. Unable to pry the doubly enforced steel doors open with his bare hands, Calisto turned to Havok to BLAST the doors into twisted metal with his plasma powers, before emerging from the dark shaft into a gigantic secret laboratory of The Magistrates! Workers in white hazard suits took to running for shelter as armed guards assigned to protect them pull out automatic weapons and began shooting! Havok dove for cover behind a mass of computer towers as Calisto took to swiftly crossing the room like a phantom ghost, his vastly superior mutant fighting skills giving him the art of combat as he somersaulted, cartwheeled, back flipped, ducked and dodged his way into arm's reach of the soldiers, making quick work of them in a series of fast moving kicks and punches! "Wow..." said Havok, coming up from behind the computers. "...not even Wolverine's THAT fast..." he muttered in amazement. Calisto smiled... "Nice to know I got SOME skills that remain impressive...!" he said, walking over to one of the hazard workers and yanking him from the corner where he coward with his fellow scientists. "We're looking for our friends you kidnapped...!" he yelled to the man, ripping off his protective hazmat helmet to see his human face! "Where are they...?! Where'r Cyclops, Wolverine, Bishop, and Storm??!" "I...I...I don't know WHO you're talking about...!" said the man, frightened! "We...we only have TWO mutants...!" "Where...?!" asked Calisto, threatening to knock the man's block off! "Where are they?!" "Over there..." pointed the man, "...in the CHAMBER...!" he cried! Calisto looked over his shoulder to see a big picture window, with pipes and ominous looking vales protruded like something out of a mad scientist movie! He ran over to the window, dragging the scientist with him... "What'r you DOIN' to them...?!" he demanded to know, as Scott and Storm lay hooked up to a series of live wires and energy grids, their bodies trembling in pain! "They're going through `the Process'!" answered the man. "WHAT Process...??" asked Calisto, angrily! "It's a program we've constructed that erases a mutant's memories, and enslaves them into servitude!" "A BRAINWASHING machine...??!" asked Calisto, still holding the man by the collar! "Essentially, yes...!" answered the frightened man! "Okay..." said Calisto, accepting that. "...change them back!" "We...we can't..." said the scientist! "...the effects are as definite as they are nonreversible! We were never given an order to create a reverse process...!" "So Storm and Cyclops'r FORCED to exist under the Magistrate's order...?!" asked Calisto, refusing to accept that concept! "Havok...?" he called, as the teenage mutant stepped up! "If you wanna FREE yur brother..., yur gonna have to BLAST him out!" "No problem!" assured Havok as he looked into the Chamber to see his biological brother hooked up to many gadgets protruding from the machine! He visually studied the equipment, then determined the best way to free him was to blow up the generators powering the machines! "NOOOOOO...!!!" screamed the scientist as Havok powered up, then released a powerful blast of pure plasma energy, causing a much larger explosion than he intended! Fire exploded everywhere, as metal and Plexiglas fragments flew through the air like projectiles! Everyone dove to the floor as the Citadel shook from its foundation, causing the entire building to jar! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ OUTSIDE The explosion could be heard for blocks! The ground shook under the feet of the Genosha Magistrates, police, army, and rescue personnel! The army insisted that barricades be pushed back another 3 blocks in case the building collapsed! "That explosion came from UNDERGROUND, Magistrate...!" said one of the Troopers! "There's a good chance the mutants have reached The Chamber!" The Magistrate grit his teeth...! "If it's a WAR they want, it's a WAR they'll get...!" he snarled, "Send in The Mutant Brigade!" he yelled, as an army truck carrying a mob of mutants pulled in through the barricades and stopped about a block from the building! The doors opened and out walked Genosha's salvation...! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ INSIDE "That was SOME display of power...!" complimented Calisto, lying on the floor next to Havok. "Are YOU okay...?" he asked, concerned. "Yeah, I'm fine..." said Havok, rising up to peer into the chamber! "...how's Scott...?" Inside The Chamber, Scott and Storm were no longer connected to the machines! "They're ALIVE!" shouted Calisto, rushing into the Chamber to aid them! "WAIT...!" I said suddenly, stopping himself and Havok in their tracks! "Who's THAT guy...??!" he asked, noticing another male trapped inside the half destroyed `brainwashing' machine! "WHO that fuck is THAT...??!" he asked the scientist, who stood back by the broken entrance...! "Oh...he's a MUTANT, just like the rest of you...!" answered the scientist, sounding more cocky! "He's an empath! The machines you just destroyed heightened his abilities to influence the minds of others...! We USED him to Process the others!" "You used MUTANTS to enslave other mutants...?!??" asked Calisto, physically sickened by Genosha's government! "It ENDS now...!" he said, ripping the probes and cords from Scott and Storm's heads! "I think NOT, mutant..." said the scientist, as the mutant Empath suddenly awakened, causing a horrible migraine to erupt in Calisto's and Havok's heads! The two X-Men fell to their knees in pain as they gripped the sides of their aching heads, trying to pry the pain from their temples! Havok was the first to submit, as he tossed Calisto from The Chamber! Calisto sailed across the floor on broken glass, staring up at the teenager who came after him as if ready to kill! "ALEX! What's wrong with you...?!?" he questioned, trying to snap the boy out of it! But when he saw Alex powering up to shoot off another plasma burst, Calisto was quick to react! "Sorry to have to DO this to you, son..." he warned, going into combat mode! Havok fired off his plasmid powers [shooting a large hole in the wall and destroying whatever stood behind it], as Calisto moved with the speed of lightning as he dodged Havok's attack and roughly wrapped his forearm about the boy's neck in a headlock position! Havok struggled to get leverage, but soon surrendered unconscious in a matter of minutes! Calisto dropped the boy where he stood, then spun around to find Empath standing behind him, his eyes all aglow with active energy as he tried to seize Calisto's mind! Calisto was instantly sent back to a time when he was in the United States Military, risking his life in a Special-Ops group to invade Sierra! His troops were captured and tortured for information, held by Syrian forces who did whatever they wanted to them physically! Calisto and his men were stripped naked and beaten within minutes of their lives! Then when they were practically unconscious, they were raped up the ass! Calisto could hear the painful grunts, groans, and wails of his military brethren as they [many of them] got fucked for the first time! Calisto was lying sprawled across a log, his ass getting pummeled by a thick cock soldier before getting cummed in! The Syrian soldier grunted out loud as he came up Cal's ass, letting everyone know he was sending heavy streaks up his vulnerable ass, breeding the unconscious American! Another soldier took his place, sliding his long hard uncut cock straight up Cal's sperm clogged hole! Calisto became more and more aware after even cock insertion, feeling a new soldier use his ass to dump in, pounding him hard before shooting their Syrian loads up his backside! When the last soldier pushed into him, Calisto elbowed the teenager in the face, causing him to fall backwards onto the floor as Cal jumped up on his feet! In reality Empath had Calisto paralyzed from his memories! After reading the X-Man's mind, Empath walked over and physically lowered Cal's pants to insert his penis, sliding his erect cock up between the black man's ass cheeks until he found his hole! Just as Empath pushed in, Calisto [reacting to events in his mind] elbowed him in the face, causing Empath to fall back on his ass! Calisto spun around and physically restrained Empath in a headlock [similar to the one he'd put Havok in], holding his forearm around his neck to cut off his breathing until all the fight left his body! Empath was in the midst of passing out when Calisto was interrupted by an optic blast to the back! "ARGH...!" he screamed as he and Empath were knocked about by the powerful blast! "SCOTT..., what'r you doing...?!" asked Havok, having awakened to find his brother assaulting his teammate! Scott looked over in Havok's direction, then lifted his red ruby quartz glasses to shoot an optical eyebeam directly at him at close range! "AARRHHHHHHHHHHHH...!!!" screamed Havok as his body soared across the room, slamming into a nearby wall before crashing to the floor! Havok could barely focus his eyes when he noticed his brother moving in for another attack! "Alex..." called Calisto... "I'm...alright..." answered Alex, slowly rising from the floor! "...Scott and I can absorb each other's blasts...!" he admitted, having absorbed most of Cyclops's optic beam! "Scott..." he tried to reason, as Scott lifted his glasses for another attack! However this time Havok countered with one of his own, blasting Scott at the same exact time! The 2 beams of energy met somewhere in the middle, hitting each other head-on and causing a huge discharge of explosive energy that knocked everyone in the room on their asses! "Al...Alex..." called Calisto, the first to shake the cobwebs from his brain before searching for Havok! "...we've gotta get OUT OF HERE...!" he suggested, pulling Havok to his feet as they scurried across the room towards the elevators! "Wha...what about Scott...and Storm...?!" asked Havok, not wanting to go, looking back in time to see Storm lifting her hands in their direction! "Oh shit..." he yelled as they dived into the elevator shaft! Seconds later lightning erupted from Storm's fingertips, electrified the entry way with thousands of volts! "Move yur ass, Havok...!" yelled Calisto, as he and Havok ran up the latters as fast as they could, climbing up pass the elevator to its roof, where they kicked in the maintenance hatch and jumped down inside. Havok used his powers to blast the doors open as they ran into the lobby, escaping! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Pt-2<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< HIGHER UP Weapon-X [Yuro] had just ambushed another group of armored Storm Troopers scouring the building! Disabling them with his Adamantum claws, he tore several of them from their protective metal machines, threw them to the floor, and had his WAY with them, ripping into the soldiers' assholes like a booty bandit! The Troopers screamed out loud when their manhood was stolen, their poor asshole ripped asunder as Yuro [16] bore his hard teenage cock straight through them and fucked them fast until he exploded in their asses, pulling out only to tackle another and repeat the whole scenario over again! Other Troopers fell back a safe distance, exiting the building as The Magistrate ordered something far worse to take their place! A military truck drove through the barricades and stopped just a block or so from the building. The doors were opened, and out walked a brigade of unknowns, dressed only in prison jumpsuits. Yuro was still shaking from his latest orgasm [shooting hot streaks of scolding hot cum straight up a male Trooper's ass], when a fiery woman [Firestar] ascended an outside window! Yuro saw the window suddenly melt away from extreme heat, as items nearby [desks, chairs, walls rugs, etc.] burst into flame! The overhead sprinkler system kicked in on his floor, trying to extinguish the fires as Firestar entered into the building [putting Yuro on high alert]! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Not far away, the futuristic X-Man BISHOP descended the Citadel stairwell, still reeling from the hocus-pocus Psylocke played to his mind, making him relive a rape by his arch enemy Mountjoy, while in reality Psylocke was raping him! Bishop's anus still smarted from the rough fucking it took [he could feel droplets of Psylocke's cum beginning to drip from his ravished hole as he ran]! He heard something in the stairwell, and decided to stop off on one of the floors in case it was security? He could hear definite sounds of a fight as he ventured into the office area, finding a graveyard of broken Trooper Battlesuits scattered about the floor! Not far off he found a few of the Battlesuit operators lying on the floor, the asses of their tights slit up the middle exposing their just fucked and battered asses! Bishop sheathed his lazar weapon and knelt to check if the soldiers were alive? Checking their pulses, he determined them alive, then checked their asses by pulling apart their bashed cheeks to find their ruined assholes oozing a clear white seminal substance! "Yuro..." laughed Bishop, knowing the boy's high sex drive [just like his father]! Following the trail of bodies, he was led to a large office area where he found Yuro dodging the fiery flames of Firestar as she tried to scorch the teenage x-student as best she could without ruining too much of the building! Yuro somersaulted, cartwheeled and back-flipped [dodging Flirestar's fireballs with just a singeing], when Bishop showed up, aimed his high powered lazar weapon and started lighting her up with high voltage rounds, sending her fiery body careening through a wall and into the employee's break lounge! "BISHOP!" called Weapon-X, spinning around with his claws extended! "I didn't NEED yur help!" he snarled [looking like a smaller version of his angry father]! "I know!" said Bishop, walking into the office area with his gun cocked and ready to fire again as he checked in on Firestar's body! The girl lay on fire, flames rising all around her! Bishop dropped his guard as he turned around to address the teenager! "It's not ALL about you, Yuro! I'm looking for Storm and Cyclops..., they were kidnapped and brought to THIS facility to be brainwashed into being slaves for Genosha! "Haven't seen them...!" said Yuro, finally sheathing his claws! "I came here with Calisto and Havok, but I lost them in the confusion! They could be anywhere!" he added, as he and Bishop tried to figure out their next move? "You seen my dad...?" he asked, suddenly. "Yeah..." answered Bishop, having no idea where he was at the moment...! "...I left him upstairs on the top floor fighting some psychic!" "I'm going after him...!" said Yuro, heading towards the stairwell exit when just then, a small wormhole opened in the center of the room, allowing the mutants: [Catseye = half male/half feline, Penance = a male mutant possessing superhuman strength and invulnerability, and Surge = a male mutant with the ability to absorb any form of energy and reshape it into electricity] to pass forth into the room! Before Yuro and Bishop could even register what to do next, Catseye leaped through the air like a wildcat, using his super-sharp claws to slash Yuro across the face before landing on the opposite side of the room on his feet! "ARG...!" shouted Yuro, spilling blood onto the floor before ducking and popping his claws [SHINK], spotting Catseye across the room [licking his blood from his fingernails]! Yuro smiled as the bloody scratches across his face suddenly healed and faded! Yuro and Catseye sprung towards one another, both with their claws poised for major damage before meeting midair, crashing into each other with force! Meanwhile Surge came out of the wormhole with electricity streaming from his fingertips, hitting Bishop head-on as the former XSE Agent pulled his weapon and began shooting back! Penance jumped in front of Surge, allowing the lazar cannon to bounce off his impervious skin, then charged towards the X-Man, tossing desks and cubicles out of his way like a runaway bulldozer! Bishop saw his cannon wasn't doing much to stop the mutant from charging, and chucked the gun before somersaulting over Penance's head, kicking him in the back with his foot before landing on the ground! Penance spun around [unaffected by the kick] and hit Bishop into next week! Bishop slammed into a row of cubicles, tearing through office furniture and computers before slamming to the ground! Surge stood over him as he prepared to FRY the X-Man where he lay, but Bishop reached up and grabbed the mutant's hands and began draining him of his power! Possessing similar abilities, Surge could feel his energy being drained as he turned on the power and started to try to drain Bishop right back! Electricity sparked between their hands as they both fought for control! Both seemed to be canceling each other out, until Bishop kicked up with his feet, catching Surge by surprise and rendering him temporarily unconscious before he could even hit the floor! Bishop rose to his feet, fully charged! Penance began to charge once again, this time more determined than ever to hit his target, when Wolverine suddenly tackled him out of nowhere! The two mutants clashed as Penance stumbled and crashed fell out the melted window, he and Wolverine falling nearly 20 stories before crashing onto the sidewalk below! "Dad...!" called Yuro, seeing his father fall out the window along with the enemy! Penance and Wolverine slammed to the ground like 2 suicide victims! Penance was the first to recover, rising from the broken pavement as Wolverine's healing factor began working to heal his injuries! "Kill him!" ordered the Magistrate, as his armed forced took aim! Wolverine could hear the slight hum of The Blackbird's stifle engine passing overhead, and smiled to himself, knowing that the calvary had come to make things right! At that moment the army opened fire with a hail of bullets, each one penetrating Wolverine's body at a point of entry! Blood splattered everywhere as he stood against the force, his body bombarded with heavy gunfire as his torso was met with over a hundred hits! The shooting never stopped firing as they emptied clips, then reloaded and continued firing, wanting to make SURE the mutant never opened his eyes again! Yuro just happened to look down and see his father's body being riddled with bullets! "DAD!!" he cried aloud, watching his father get shot full of holes from outside the 20th floor window! Leaping to his father's aid, Yuro slid down the 20 story slope, using his Adamantium claws to slow his descent as he quickly approached the ground floor! Just then a sonic scream erupted from overhead, blasting against the ground, exploding the concrete, rattling the tanks, and knocking the armed services off their feet! "Good shot, Banshee...!" said Northstar, moving in at top speed as he bulldozed through the rest of the army in a blur, disarming every weapon he came across! Polaris used her magnetic powers to unarm the service men as well, creating a magnetic field that literally yanked the weapons from their grasps and melded them into one giant ball of metal! The tanks she easily took apart by dislodging the metal bolts and rivets that held them together, watching them literally fall apart with the drivers still inside! "Looks like The X-Men are making quick work of The Genosha army, Professor...!" said Beast, flying the Blackbird to a nearby building top for a safe landing! Angel [spreading his magnificent white wings] soared down low over the remaining army, causing many of them to duck and cover in a panic! From out of his body emerged Professor Xavier [Mountjoy], somersaulting to his feet and he telepathically seized the minds of the men left standing, telling them to return to safety of their homes until further notice! The army men simply turned and walked away, abandoning their posts and leaving the Magistrate to wonder what in the hell was going on??? "Angel...how is Wolverine...?" asked Beast, exiting the Blackbird and making his way down to street level via a drainage pipe! Angel landed beside Wolverines battered and bloodied body, unable to even look at his remains as he turned away in horror! "He...he looks...DEAD...!" responded Angel, honestly! "He CAN'T be dead..." reasoned Beast, leaping towards his friends! "...he had a HEALING FACTOR...!" "Well..." said Angel, giving Wolverine's body another glance...! "...he LOOKS dead...!" Just then Yuro ran up as Angel stood to blocked the boy's view with his wings, refusing to allow him to see his father this way! But Yuro easily shoved Angel aside, physically flooring him as he slowly approached his father and knelt beside his remains! "Wake up!" he cried, knowing Wolverine possessed the power to rejuvenate his body from practically any injury! "Wake up old man!" he insisted as tears fell from his eyes emotionally! "I said WAKE UP!!" he screamed, slamming his fists to the ground, triggering Wolverine's power as his body began rejecting the plethora of bullets littering his body! The X-Men celebrated, as Wolverine slowly reached up and touched Yuro affectionately about the head...! "No...need...to yell...kid..." he managed, as his body began to heal before their very eyes! "...I heard ya...! "This isn't over yet...!" yelled the Magistrate, standing before his fallen army as Professor Xavier/Mountjoy, Beast, Angel, Wolverine, and Weapon-X all turned around to give him their undivided attentions...! "Genosha will RISE again! And next time, we'll be prepared for attacks...!" "You use innocent mutants to enslave and defend your country, Magistrate..." said Xavier, tossing his long hair over his shoulder...! "...once the world realizes the tactics you use, Genosha will be finished! There's not a tourist in the world that would want to come to a place like this...!" Just then, something came speeding in low out of the sky, and snatched up The Magistrate before anyone could SEE who it was! One instant The Magistrate was there, the next he was gone! "I'm ON IT, Professor!" yelled Northstar, chasing the after them skyward! The two mutants soared through Genosha airspace like supercharged fighter jets, performing aerial acrobat maneuvers sure to impress even the most stoic of critics! Northstar was the fastest flying mutant in recorded history, he couldn't believe the person flying ahead of him was even faster, as they began to pull away in high gear! "I'm NOT going to be able to catch them..." he said into his com-link, linking him audibly to his teammates! "...he's too fast...!" ((("Even for YOU...?!")))) asked Xavier telepathically, trying to pick up on the mutant's mind so he could slow him down! "Got him!" said Xavier, having tapped in on the aid's thoughts...! ((("He's all yours Jean-Paul!"))) Northstar noticed the aid starting to slow down drastically as he quickly caught up to him, then tackled him midair! The speedster was taken by complete and utter surprise when a bright discharge of light lit up the sky between them like the 4th Of July! The unexpected impact sent the two mutants [and The Magistrate] crashing to the ground like injured birds, each crashing into parked cars or the sides of buildings before coming to a rough landing! Northstar was the first to recover, climbing out on his hands and knees as he crawled over to see if his opponents were alive? He found The Magistrate groaning in pain as he lay atop a parked car, but the mutant looked far worse the wear as HE took more of the impact from the fall, lying on his side unconscious! Northstar reached for the fallen slave, then gently rolled him over onto his back...! "What the fuck...??!" he responded in shock, noticing the mutant looked exactly like him! An exact duplicate twin!!! Miles away, The Professor was reading the images in Northstar's mind, when an unexpected explosion on the ground floor of the Citadel suddenly sent a small tornado with heavy gusts of winds in the X-Men's direction! Shattered glass and other office debris from the lobby cascaded out into the street, along with the bodies of Calisto and Havok! "CAL...!" called Angel, running towards him [his wings all aflutter]! "Warren...?" called Calisto, half disorientated from the fast moving tornado [which disappeared as fast as it appeared]...! "Run...! Scott and Storm's under the control of The Magistrate...!" he informed! Just then a red optic blast [Cyclops' signature] shot through the lobby and out into the street, putting the X-Men on defense as they began to converge on The Citadel! But before anyone could DO anything, an unexpected visitor showed its ugly head, as the fiery Phoenix symbol suddenly appeared, sending an psychic wave of erotic energy across the entire country of Genosha, giving everyone in contact an erotic orgasm and making them relive the most erotic experience of their lives! All over the country [the airport, hospitals, police stations, office buildings, private homes, schools, highways, etc.] people were having spontaneous orgasms, falling to their knees and thriving in erotic bliss! THEN as suddenly as it came, it disappeared, leaving everyone wondering WHAT JUST HAPPENED...??! A split second later The Citadel [Genosha's pride and joy of military intelligence] came tumbling down...! The X-Men scattered, running [and flying] for cover, carrying the injured that couldn't run on their own, as the 40+ story building crumbled like a house of cards, creating a tremendous cloud of smoke that rose up and covered everything in its path...! "Professor..." called Polaris, in the midst of it all...! "...WHAT was that...?! Was it Abigail...?? Was she here...??! Is she trying to tell us something...??!" Mountjoy/Xavier scanned the area telepathically... ((("I sense NO thought patterns of the entity Abigail...nor Jean Grey in the area...!"))) he reassured his colleagues! ((("But there ARE people...MUTANTS trapped in the rubble of that collapse..., including Bishop, Scott and Storm...!"))) The X-Men worked frantically to free each and every mutant trapped within the building, finding some alive...some not...
