This is the first fan fic I've ever written...(wrote it last week) Please feel free to be as brutally honest as you'd like!


Issue 1:

3:30am at the X-Mansion. Wolverine, Cyclops, Beast and Storm were all sound asleep. Emma and Colossus have the students on a trip, figured it would be good for them to get out of the place once in awhile. The mansion remains silent and all of the lights are off... However a darkened figure walks through the hallway, without making the slightest noise.

He creeps up to a bedroom door, a opens it slowly. The figure stands in the shadows, and begins to slowly walk towards the bed. The figure stands over a man we know as James Howlett, aka Wolverine, who's sound asleep. He's breathing heavily through his mouth, yet holding the pillow and blanket ever so closely. One would never guess that one of the worlds most dangerous men could look so peaceful. The figure leans forward over James, and all we can see from the figure are glowing, red eyes...



Issue 2:

The figure, with glowing red eyes stands over Wolverine, who's sleeping peacefully. Suddenly, the figures hand begins illuminate with a beautiful, pink aura. While Logan lays there, taking deep breaths with his mouth...The figure slowly moves his hand towards his open mouth...He gently slides an object into the open mouth, and Wolverine's eyes abruptly open.

Beast on the other hand, is sleeping in what appears to be an uncomforable position. He's stretched out on his back, with an arm behind him and another over his face. He's suddenly awoken by the sound of a small booming noise, that came from within the house. He quickly leaps out of bed, and out of his door with a single lunge. He pounces through the halls, quickly to where the noise came from.

Beast kicks open the door, only to have a look of fear and sorrow in his face. He covers his mouth in horror as he slowly moves forward. He falls to his knees by the bed, which has a lifeless Wolverine. His adamantium skull in tact, yet every thing within 5 feet is soaking in blood and brain matter. Wolverine's window is wide open, with the shades blowing from the light wind.

Cyclops and Storm have now made it to the door way. Storm has a look of shock. "Jesus Christ..." Cyclops says in a low voice. "I want whoever did this...Dead or alive. Search every inch of this house....Wolverine will, be avenged." "Who do you think could have done such a thing?" Storm asks, with a raspy voice. Cyclops, clearly deep in thought replies "I don't know. But we're sure as hell going to find out."

Cyclops and Storm stick together, and go downstairs, proceeding with caution. Beast on the other hand, is following a scent and heads down the hallway to the right. It leads him to Colossus room, which is closed. Beast becomes filled with anger as he recognizes the scent. He leaps forward, full force kicking down the door and landing in the middle of the room with astounding speed. He growls while standing fierce, looking truly like a beast. Before he has time to react, he looks down just in time to see a glowing, pink ace of spaces....




Issue 3:

Beast is rocked by the explosion under his feet. He violently crashes to the cement wall at full force, smashing part of it. Bloodied and battered, he struggles to pull himself up. Abruptly, a staff slaps him accross the face. On his hands and knee's, he struggles to look up as two steel boots stand before him. He looks up only to see Gambit, eyes glowing with an evil tint of red, holding his bo-staff in 1 arm, and holding 3 glowing cards in the other.

Beast looks up, with a face his full of tears and blood, struggles to say "W..W..Why?". Gambit's eyes flair up, reder than ever, and with a deep voice whispers "Because you' nev'ah cared." Gambit swiftly swings around his staff and slams it into the back of Beasts head, viciously knocking him out.

Cyclops and Storm reach the doorway. "GAMBIT!" Cyclops yells, with a tone rarely seen from him. Before Cyclops can react with an optic blast, Gambit, within the blink of an eye, tosses a card at them and drops one next to Beast while diving backwards, shattering through the closed window in the room. Cyclops and Storm dive out of the way. They rush in, Storm cries out "HENRY!" and rushes next to Beast. Cyclops rushes to look out the window. Gambit is no where to be seen. Storm holds Beast close, crying. "No, no, no! Cyclops...He's dead." Storm looks at Cyclops, still crying and holding Beast "Why do you think he would to this!? I've known him since the beginning, I can only help but feel partially responsible for this." Cyclops replies with "This isn't your fault Storm. To be honest, I don't give a damn what his reason is. He's dead for this."

Suddenly, they hear a shatter and a loud thump downstairs. "We stick together, and NO holding back." Storm has a concerned look on her face, and unwillingly nods. They then exit the room and head downstairs...







Issue 4:

Cyclops and Storm rush down the stairs. They see the main living room is empty, however one window is shattered, glass all over the ground where it was broken into. "Storm, blow everything out of the way. I don't want that idiot using anything as a weapon." "Whatever you say Scott, but you're paying for the repairs." Scott doesnt smirk at all and says in a stern voice "...Very funny, Storm." With the movement of an arm, Storm draws a powerful gust of wind from the broken window, pushing the couches, tables, TVS, desks, everything, to their side of the room.

"GAMBIT!" Scott yells with an authoritative voice. "You have TWO options right now. One, surrender. Or the one I'd rather have, give us a reason to kill you. You think you can just burst in here and KILL the people that took you in and gave you a better life and a sense of meaning? Was that too much for a STUPID cajun like you to handle? I never did trust you but..." Before Scott can finish his sentence, a card flies faster than the eye can see from outside of the broken window, exploding directly on Cyclops. The explosion is so fierce it knocks him back, slamming into the wall, falling flat on his face. Storm was also in the blast radius, slamming her sideways into a couch, softening the landing. She struggles to get up.

Gambit leaps through the window, landing gracefully into the middle of the room. "That's da problem with you, mon'ami. Always thinkin I'm stupid jus' cause I'm different!? Well, WHO was there to try and save Rogue when you were too busy being da goody leader? YOU ALL FORGOT ABOUT HER! She was the ONE reason I stay with ya'll! She was the reason I wanted to change, the reason I WANTED to be good. And now I've lost her cause' o' all you!" "GAMBIT PLEASE!" Storm interrupts. "You must understand! The FUTURE of the mutant race was at stake! Rogue would have agreed with our actions!" Gambit hits Storm across the face with his staff, knocking her out. "SHUT UP! DATS NOT TRUE! YOU ALL FORGOT HER!" Gambit yells with rage, continuing to hit her in the face. Storm was knocked out after the first hit, but he keeps hitting. Blood fills her beaten face, and it's now become clear that Gambit has killed her.

He stops the assault, blood all over Storm, the woman he first saved and introduced him to the X-Men. He looks down at his hands. They're soaked in her blood, along with the bo-staff. A feeling of guilt shows on Gambits face, but before we know, an optic blast slams into his back with such a force it knocks him through the wooden wall, and outside of the mansion. Gambit knocks into the lawn, and his limp body rolls a few times. He struggles, but begins to rise to his knees. A new look of hatred fills his face. Cyclops is standing in the room, walking to the hole that he sent Gambit through. "YOU READY GAMBIT!? THINK I'M TOO MUCH OF A BOY SCOUT? Get ready, because you're dead." Gambit's on his knees outside, holding 3 cards and his staff and waiting...He wispers to himself "Bring it' on, mon'ami...Dis ones for Rogue."




Issue 5:

Cyclops and Gambit fire at the same time with speed and accuracy that would amaze even the most accurate shooters. Cyclops dives to his right while firing an optic blast, just barely doing the blast radius dealt from Gambit who's dodging to the left, missing the optic blast by a fraction of a hair. Both land and immediately take cover. Gambit puts his back to the corner wall of the mansion, and Cyclops crouches behind a small grouping of trees. Gambit flings cards in Cyclops' general direction, knocking down trees, but Scott is still safe behind the grouping, firing blasts back at Gambit who is safe as well, shattering pieces of the wall.

Cylops shouts over his cover "I have a feeling we could do this all day, Remy...Why don't we settle it without weapons or powers. Or are you too afraid?" Cyclops see's Gambit walk out from cover. He lets an entire deck of cards slide from his hand and fall gracefully to the floor. The bo-staff is then dropped as well. Cyclops smiles and says "I'm going to enjoy this." He then gestures his hand at Gambit, telling him to "come on". Both combatands charge full force...

Cyclops attemps for a right hook, but Gambit has already leapt and his steel boot makes contact with Cyclops' jaw, knocking him down. Cyclops wipes his hand over his mouth and spits out a bit of blood. Gambit, mockingly gestures at him to now "come on". Cyclops gets up and goes for another right hook, Gambit blocks and tries one of his own which is blocked. They go back and forth for minutes, blocking each others punches, kicks and jumping over sweep attempts. Both are already torn and tired, Gambit goes for a front kick to Cyclops' face. Cyclops couners by grabbing Remys foot, twists it, and Gambit falls to the ground on his back.

Cyclops quickly jumps ontop of Gambit and begins to pummel him. "THIS IS FOR WOLVERINE....AND BEAST...AND STORM....AND THIS ONE IS BECAUSE I WANTED TO!" While Cyclops is in a rage, he's left his gaurd down. Gambit takes full advantage of this by kneeing him in the groin. Cyclops yells in pain, and falls over to the side, grabbing his crotch. Gambit tries to reorient himself, and pulls himself up. Cyclops however, is doing the same.

"How could you just forget her?!" Gambit yells at him. "Damn it, Remy! We DIDN'T forget her. It would have been stupid to make that a priority when our entire RACE was at stake. You know this, I know this, and SHE knows this. You want to cry about the fact she left you? Go get a box of tissues. You've screwed up too many times, you're past redemption." Gambit lunges at Cyclops, both are now fighting out of pure rage. Gambit tackles into Cyclops' stomach, while Cyclops elbows him in the back. Gambit lifts Cyclops up, both yelling, and tackles him to the ground. Gambit wraps his hands around Cyclops throat "YOU CALL YOURSELF A LEADER YET YOU LEFT THE WOMAN I LOVE TO DIE! NOW SHE HATES ME FOR BEING THE ONLY ONE TO TRY AND SAVE HER!". Cyclops, struggling to breath, makes a noise we'd only hear from the likes of Wolverine, similar to a growl. He builds the strength to begin to choke Gambit as well. Gambit's kneeled ontop of Cyclops, both choking the life out of the other. A minute of this goes by until they both pass out. A few minutes later, Cylops awakens. Gambit is nowhere to be seen. Cyclops rises to his feet when suddenly he see's a shadowy figure with red eyes near the trees. Cyclops looks down, only to see a queen of hearts, glowing pink....
