X3: Second Chances/Our Stand, a fanfic/rewrite by NtCrawler and Goddessreicho

[ntcrawler]

Greetings and welcome!! Originally it started out as a simple rewrite of certain key scenes from X3: The Last Stand. But it's now become apparent that what we're doing is no longer just a rewrite. It's turned into a full-blown fanfic project, so we figured setting up its own thread would be the best way to present this material.

No official titles yet, but so far we're calling it either X3: Second Chances, X3: The Great Stand, or X3: Our Stand.

Here you will find the story presented in both written form and script form, as well as outlines and plot ideas, and thanks to the talents of Vilya and La-She-Beast, illustrations as well. This is also the place to do some proofreading, suggest ideas, and critique things for us.

It's now clear that our favorite heroes are in trouble and only their fans can save them from the evil that is bad writing and storytelling, so here goes nothing!

This project is made possible thanks to the talent and hard work (and sleepless nights) of Goddessreicho. Many thanks also so far to The Ones, Vilya, La-She-Beast, Gambitfire, LastSunrise1981, MDizzle, Ms.Vix, UraniaChang, and CapBeerCino, and MaleRogue. These and many more, all of whose enthusiasm and willingness to put up with our crazy imaginations has made this possible.

Also many thanks to other writers including Bishop2, Minisinoo, NJBorba, Juliebmr, Windwriter1, originalceenote, and Digital Tempest, whose own fanfics have fueled our imaginations and helped inspire us to do this.

Now, on with the show!

 

[ntcrawler]

so far I'm focusing on completing Scott's story arc. And if anyone is wondering, the Alcatraz Battle, because it's so honking huge, is being written side by side with the rest of the movie, so that'll probably be posted out of order (unless everyone wants us to wait)

Here's one of the first scenes of the movie. Not THE first scene (those will be the flashbacks), but one of the first scenes you'll get of Scott:


*** Scene: Scott's bedroom ***

Scott is sitting on the side of his bed. We see from the time on the clock that it's just before dawn. He is dressed in his pajamas and wearing his shades. The light is subdued.


we hear a voice.

"Scott."

Then again. And again.

"Scott!"

Louder and louder. Scott looks up, looks around the room. We see images flashing in his head. Jean's final moments. She's overwhelmed by the water. The panicked look on her face. Her hand outstretched, calling out, screaming, begging in desperation and terror.

Jean:
Scott! Scott! Help me Scott! Help me! Scott! Scott! HELP ME! PLEASE HELP ME! SCOTT! SCOTT!

Scott clutches his head tightly, and just as quickly the voice and images subside. He turns around and looks on his bed, his eyes lock on to something. He stares at it, leans in close and freezes. He looks astonished. Grabbing the object tightly in his hand, he bolts upright and quickly throws on some clothes.

*** end scene ***

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

Doesn't look to different from what we got...

 

[Goddessreicho]

What I've written is an extened Infirmary Scene. One of the biggest things I've hated throught the whole trilogy was the lack of character interaction outside of missions. It was like they didn't even know each other outside of the leather. And those who have seen my post before know that I hate the lack of substance in Ororo. So this was a great chance for me to fix that.

Just to let you know, this scene is only half finished. There's alot left for me to do. So read and review!

Infirmary scene:

Ororo walks towards the bed in the middle of the medical bay. The sole light in the room illuminates the body of the woman in the bed.

Ororo slowly comes up to the body in quiet reverence.

Ororo: Jean. [Holds her hand] What were you thinking? How could you leave us like that? Why didn’t you let us save you? We were supposed to be a team. [raises her voice] A. TEAM. We were in it together. Why couldn’t you have faith in us? [Still being very angry with her] We’ve always had faith in you? I have always believed in you, sister, [She has tears in her eyes and hugs Jean’s upper torso] no matter how much I hated you.

She walks around the table to brush hair out of her face. Ororo sees the tangle mess that it is and finds a brush to begins to brush it. When she hits a snag, Jean’s eyes shoot open, and grab Ororo’s wrist.

Jean opens her eyes, blinks a few times. She sees a near frozen Ororo with her wrist in her hand. She lets go immediately.

Jean: Rory?

Ororo: Jean! [comes up and traces her cheek] It’s alright, hun. Everything is alright. Your going to be just fine.

Ororo rushes her friend and gives her a deep and genuine hug. Jean closes her eyes leans into the embrace, and hugs her back. They pull apart and Jean looks at Ororo with wonder and bewilderment.

Jean: What happened?

Ororo turns away from Jean. She hugs herself, and looks towards the ceiling with eyes brimming with tears. The muted sounds of heavy rain can be heard even in the subasement. When she composes herself, the rain stops, and she turns around with a worried expression to face Jean.

At this point Jean has sat up. Ororo sits next to her. Both women sit in silence for a few seconds letting their feet dangle over the edge of the bed.

Ororo: I...What do you remember, J?

Jean looks at Ororo at first with a blank stare, very slowly her expression changes from empty to that of unbridled fear.

Ororo: We found you at Alkali, and brought you back here. You’ve been here, unconscious, for two days.

Jean: I remember looking back at the jet. A mountain of water! So much. It was everywhere, coming in so fast. It caved in on me.

Ororo laces her hand through Jean’s. Jean closes her eyes and picks up on flashes of thought that Ororo is projecting. Images of an explosion and fire fly by, screaming voices dust and people panicking are everywhere. In the middle of the dust and scurrying people is a dilapidated sky rise. The point of view zooms in underneath the rubble, dust, scorched beams, broken glass ,and broken bent steal to a whimpering voice. In the dark with a single ray of light that just flicked away is a six year old Ororo Monroe. She is holding a black woman’s hand. The rest of the body is shrouded in darkness and a puddle of blood is coming out of the shadows. Roughly four or five feet away is the body of a impaled black man. His bloody impaled body is also shrouded in darkness except for his head. His face is stuck in pure raging agony. His eyes are open in horror there’s blood coming from his nose and mouth. Hanging around his neck is a broken professional photographer’s camera. It is a glaring reminder that no warning came for the sudden distraction. The little girl looks at her father and burst out in tears; she automatically wraps herself in a fetal position with her mother’s hand. The entire rubble structure begins to shake and buckle. Ororo looks up in time to see it begin to cave in...

Jean sees all of these images, and knows what Ororo sees. Her friend and sister has been there. She knows also what its like to be alone. To have those who have always been around suddenly gone, and both know the pang of having the world cave in.

This also angered Jean. Ororo also had something terrible happen to her, and far earlier as well. She was left to wonder alone, and yet, she had her complete mutation at her disposal since she was six. She got hers when she was twelve, and still struggled with them. Ororo alone could thrive by herself. Jean always lagged behind and constantly needed help. She needed the professor for guidance, she needed Scott for love, and she needed Logan for her feminine pride.

What was the one thing she didn’t need. She looked at Ororo with black eyes that resembled an abyss. No, she didn’t need Ororo at all.

After all she was nothing more than a marionette, a tool, for Xavier’s dream. No one would really miss her.

Ororo was still looking down at her feet.

Jean squints her eyes and rubs her temples. Trying to get into Ororo’s mind was not an easy task for any sort of telepath. Ororo’s body was like a lightning rod. It was constantly drawing in energy from all around. Her psyche was the same. It was covered in a sort of static electricity. A psychic trying to get in her mind would have a better time sticking a wet fork in a socket.

Ororo: Jean...are you...are you trying to get in my mind?

Jean laced her hand in Ororo’s, and squeezes hard. Really hard.

Ororo winced in pain.

Ororo:. What are you doing? [pauses] Ouch Jean, that hurts.

Jean: [laughs at her own antics in a slightly sadistic way] Do you want to know something? I’ve always envied your natural defenses. Tell me Rory, did Xavier ever block you. Hold you back. Make it so you couldn’t choose what you did with your own power. It must have been really nice not to him walking around in your head. [Italics are said with disdain.]

Ororo: Jean, your still hurting me. What are you talking about?

Jean eyes glow black. In response to Ororo’s fear, the temperature in the room spikes a few degrees. There’s a fine mist of humid fog that appears.

Jean: It’s not a rhetorical question.

Ororo: Jean. Please.

There was another terrifying squeeze.

Ororo answers with tears in her eyes: NO! Alright? No, he didn’t hold me back! Please just stop.

Jean leans in and whispers in a deadly soft voice: Teacher’s pet. Teacher’s pet.

Ororo: Jean, what’s wrong. Just tell me, what is it you want.

Jean: Freedom! [The sound of the word came from a deep and empty place.]

Jean lets go of a shocked Ororo. She slams her against the wall. Ororo takes no time and whitens her eyes to prepare for a fight that she knew deep down would be inevitable. When she allows her self to see the electric patterns that inhibit all things, she was shocked at what she saw in Jean.

Jean’s basic components, all the things that make a human being, seemed to be endless. Universal. Limitless.

Before Ororo could wrap herself around this concept she felt the wall behind her slip away and then engulf her. Before the panic set in she takes one final look at Jean and sees something truly out of this world. Jean was surrounded by a wisp of gold and red fire. It was strange because there was no heat. Ororo remembered studying Christianity and Judaism. There was a story about a holy bush. A sign sent from God that was fire but gave the prophet who touched it no burns. As she continued to be surround by the all consuming darkness, she saw the flames spread but burn nothing, and out of Jean’s shoulders sprang flaming wings. The wings of a bird made from a near holy power.

Ororo: [Whispers] No, please. Jean, stop. [Outloud] What have you become!

 

[ntcrawler]

The hallway scene again. Again its purpose is to flesh out more what Scott's up to and why. And no, it's not due to just blind faith or voices in his head. There is a reason why after 8 months NOW is the time he decided to go. The X3 movie didn't do a good job of explaining why. We hope to do better.


*** Scene: hallway inside the mansion, main floor. Daytime ***

[Scott walks down the hallway, wearing jeans, a pullover and a leather jacket. He has a small pack slung over one shoulder. He brushes past Logan]

Logan:
Hey, Scott, they were looking for you downstairs, you didn't show

Scott stops and turns around

Scott:
What do you care?

Logan:
Well for starters I had to cover your ass

Scott:
I didn't ask you to

Logan:
No, you didn't. The Professor did. I was just passing through.

Scott [hissing]:
So pass through, Logan

Scott turns around to leave. Logan grabs his arm and stops him

Logan:
Look... I know how you feel.

Scott:
The hell you do

Logan:
I know what it's like-

Scott:
Don't

Logan:
When Jean died-

Scott's emotions explode

Scott:
I said Don't! Every damn night I hear her calling out
to me! I relive her terror! Drowning, dying, begging me
to save her!

Logan:
Voices in your head? You've got to get a grip, or you'll go nuts!

Scott:
Then how do you explain THIS?

Scott violently pulls something out of his pocket and shoves it in Logan's face. Logan looks at it. It's the pendant Jean was wearing we saw in X2 during the museum field trip. A silver PHOENIX. Logan looks confused.

Logan:
You wanna tell me what this is?

Scott:
It's the pendant Jean wore for the field trip to the science museum

Logan:
So?

Scott:
So why the hell did I find it on my bed last night?

Logan:
Look...

Scott:
No one could possibly know where she kept it or understand its
sentimental value! Either someone's screwing with my head or...
something's going on"

A silent pause. Logan raises his brow in understanding

Logan:
You're going back there, aren't you?"

Scott:
What's it to you?

Logan:
Scott...What do you hope to find there?

Scott hesitates, then responds

Scott:
Answers

Logan:
There might not be much left. A piece of bone, a scrap of fabric-

Scott:
I'll take my chances

Logan:
Look...I'll stay and help out while you're gone.
But if you find something... I wanna know too

Scott:
Some ONE, not some THING, Logan.

Scott pockets the pendant and walks away

*** END SCENE ***

 

[ntcrawler]

Doesn't look to different from what we got...

Not everything has to be turned upside-down. We just subtly inserted a little element at the very end of that scene which will help make a big symbolic difference later

Some scenes will look familiar. Others will be totally different. And a few others will be "missing" scenes that we feel were not in the movie, but should have!

 

[Hulkster]

Wow, good luck on your project ntcrawler.

 

[ntcrawler]

This scene takes place after the hallway scene between Scott and Logan, but not immediately after. It shows Scott's journey to Alkali Lake, and a flashback going back to events that took place in X2 but were "left out" and which we "put back in"

Purpose of scene: To show that Jean and Scott are a couple and act like a couple! I mean come on, how could anyone forget to put that in? It also expands a great deal about Jean's problems, her struggles, and Scott's committment and PROMISE to help her in times of peril. The 30-second dialogue in the museum scene just wasn't long enough, so we added an extra scene where Scott and Jean finally have a chance to talk about these things, alone. It also shows a little bit of Scott's wild and carefree side, as well as Jean's fears and vulnerability. A little sillyness, a little romance, a little opening up, and lots and lots of foreshadowing!

The flashback scene takes place just before Logan shows up at the mansion and immediately after Xavier's group returns home after their field trip.


*** SCENE - Open highway. Daytime ***

Scott is riding his motorcycle on his long journay to Alkali Lake. Judging by his appearance and the condition of his motorcycle we see that he has already been on the road for some time. He carries a look of someone who has not slep well in a long time but is determined to get to where he is going.

As Scott rides his motorcycle, he recalls some memories of Jean and we jump to a flashback:


Scott:
Well aside from John's antics and Bobby's attempt at
heroism, I'd say that was a pretty good trip

Jean:
Yeah...

Scott sees Jean leaning against the wall, her head pressed against it and her eyes closed, straining as if she's in pain.

Scott:
It's that... headache again, isn't it?

Jean:
I'll be all right...

Scott:
Hey... I know what you need!

Jean:
You do?

Scott:
Yes! You need some fresh air! Come on, let's go for a ride!

Jean:
Scott, I'm supposed to go to Boston with Ro

Scott:
But you're not leaving for another hour, right?


Jean:
Yes, but-

Scott:
Well there you go! No excuses, Jean! Come on!

Scott pulls Jean over, opens the garage door and preps his motorcycle. Jean looks with suspicion as Scott disables the motorcycle's headlight.

Jean:
Scott, what are you doing?

Scott smiles, and offers Jean a flashlight. Jean's expression changes to wide-eyed surprise as she recognizes what he's up to.

Jean:
Oh no. Not that! No way! We are NOT doing that!

Scott grins


*** END SCENE ***


---


*** SCENE: quiet rural road lined with trees. Nighttime ***

A motorcycle hums along the winding road, navigating its turns. It carries 2 occupants, shouting and laughing. Its headlights are off. The only source of light is a flashlight held by the passenger

Jean:
This is crazy!

Scott:
Keep that light on the road! I can't see without it!

Jean:
Scott! You're a maniac! Slow down!

Scott:
We're only going 25!

Jean:
I don't believe I let you talk me into this!

Scott:
Oh Come on! It's just like that one halloween party!

Jean:
We're teachers now! We're supposed to set a good example!
What would the students say if they saw us?

Scott:
They'd be jealous!

Jean's attitude changes and she smiles, enjoying herself, shining her flashlight on the road as Scott drives. Up ahead just past a turn, they see 2 lights approaching them.

Jean:
Scott?

Scott:
It's OK! I see him!

As the two lights go around the turn, it appears that the vehicle is on their sideright lane on a collision course

Jean:
Scott!

Scott:
What the? Hold on!

Scott tries to glide to one side of the road, but the two lights are matching him. As if the driver wants to collide. They are getting closer and closer. Faster than Scott can react, the two lights overwhelm the motorcycle.

Jean:
Look out!!!

Jean braces for impact and cries out but nothing happens. The lights spread out from each other, wider and wider, until they go past, one on each side. They turn out to be two motorcycles riding side by side! Scott looks behind them at the spectacle. Jean realizes what it was and shocked, also looks back.

Scott:
What the hell?

For a few moments, they stay silent as Scott slows down and pulls over to a rest area by a forest preserve.

Scott:
Bunch of crazy people out there-

Jean pounds his back with her fists. She is furious.

Jean:
SCOTT!!! WHAT THE HELL? We could have been killed!

Scott:
But Jean! It was just a prank! They probably figured out
what we were up to and-

Jean:
How did I ever let you talk me into this? What was I thinking?

Scott tries to supress a laugh as he gets off the bike and turns to face her

Scott:
You were enjoying it, weren't you?

Jean:
Are you out of your mind? You should be ashamed-

Scott:
You enjoyed it, didn't you?

Jean:
Of all the crazy stunts you-

Scott:
You had fun, didn't you?

Jean pauses, takes a breath, and gives in

Jean:
Yes... I had fun

They both laugh heartily. They stop as they gaze at each other, put their arms around one another, and lean for a long kiss.

They hungrily exchange tender, passionate kisses. Each one is savored, and having had their fill, they come up for air.

Scott:
It's just you, me and the stars above

Jean:
They're so beautiful. I missed these quiet moments. We
haven't done this in a while

They walk around admiring the view above, holding hands and Jean leaning her head on his shoulder. They stop and face each other. Jean feels better but Scott sees that something is still wrong.

Scott:
Jean, we haven't had alot of time to spend together lately and I'm sorry. I know your going through something tough right now and that you're hurting. I'm here for you. I always will be. You know you can talk to me.

Jean:
I know, and I'm grateful for that

Scott puts his hands on her shoulders and strokes them with his thumbs

Scott:
You always got me to open up and never hold anything back.
You taught me that it helps to get things out. Please don't
hold back from me.Let me help you.

Jean:
It's difficult to talk about and to describe


Scott cups Jean's face tenderly with his hands

Scott:
Talk to me Jean. Please...

For a long while, both are silent. Jean stares back, then looks down. Uncertain and afraid

Scott:
Please, tell me...

Jean:
All right.. Imagine walking into a room with 50 people inside,
all talking at the same time

Scott:
I've done that before...

Jean:
Except it's so loud it overwhelms you, pounding into your
head like a jackhammer. I have to focus to keep it out. But
sometimes it can overwhelms me. I also feel this sudden surge
of energy inside me, as if my powers are expanding at a rate
I never felt before. My nightmares are getting worse too. I
have these visions...

Scott:
What do you see in those visions?

Jean looks away and hesitates

Jean:
I see fire...Explosions. Then water. A mountain of water.
It's coming down on us. I can see all your faces. Then
you're all inside the X-Jet hovering above me and I'm all
alone on the ground. Then the water comes crashing down...
on...me...

Scott:
I know that dream.

Jean looks up at him, tears welling up.

Jean:
You do?

Scott [nodding]
I had it too...

Jean clenches her eyes tightly, looking down. Tears flow down her face.

Scott puts his arms around Jean, and pulls her in until he has her completely in his arms. Jean tries to hold back a sob. More tears flow from her eyes and she breaks down, weeping into Scott's shoulder and holding onto him like a lifeline.

Scott:
Easy, easy... I've got you. It's ok..

Jean:
Something terrible's going to happen... I'm so scared...

Jean shudders as she weeps.

Scott:
SHHHHHH... Jean... sweetie... Listen to me. Don't be
afraid. You're strong and brave. And you won't ever be
alone. You have a family who loves you and who'll
always look out for you.

Scott rocks her slowly and runs his hands across her back in a soothing motion

Scott:
And you have me. I'll always protect you. As long as I'm
alive, I swear I won't let anything happen to you.

Jean squeezes Scott fiercly

Jean:
I love you, Slim

Scott:
I love you too, Red

After a while Jean relaxes, and pulls away a bit. She feels better and wipes away the tears from her eyes, offering him a smile

Jean:
I always feel so safe when I'm in your arms

Scott:
Then don't leave

Jean:
But I have to go to Boston

Scott:
I'll go instead

Jean:
No. You have to guard Charles when he goes
to see Magneto.

Scott:
Jean...

Jean:
Scott, it's a simple reconaissance mission.
I'll be back in a few hours!

Scott:
Promise?

Jean gives him a reassuring smile

Jean:
I promise!

Scott:
Jean?

Jean:
Yeah?

Scott:
I was thinking... When you come back, why don't we take the
weekend off and go on a little trip?

Jean:
Oh? Where would you like to go?

Scott:
I was thinking Niagara Falls

Jean:
That would be wonderful

Scott:
Then it's a date! I'll make reservations.

They embrace and kiss each other. Jean looks up msiling at Scott, peering into his ruby glasses.

Jean:
I wish I could see your eyes

Scott:
Maybe some day they'll find a way to fix me. Or you could
use your powers...

Jean:
If I could use my powers to do that, I'd do it for you my love

They embrace and walk back to tho motorcycle in each other's arms


*** END FLASHBACK ***

The memory returns to Scott who continues to ride towards Alkali Lake as the camera zooms away from him

[MaleRogue]

OOOh I like it can't wait for the drawings and all
I really like the story so far

 

[flavio_lebeau]

We’ve always had faith in you? I have always believed in you, sister, [She has tears in her eyes and hugs Jean’s upper torso] no matter how much I hated you.

i dont understand this Storm hating Jean?!?!?! right after calling her sister?!?!?!?
I like the part of showing Storm's past...but at some points i have to disagree. Congrats for trying you two.
Can i just say something? i hope you dont get bad on me, but i think your ideas work better for a book than for a movie.

 

[ntcrawler]

i dont understand this Storm hating Jean?!?!?! right after calling her sister?!?!?!?

The secret resentment is explained a bit later on in the scene. And will become an important theme for the rest of the movie, coming to a climax at the Alcatraz battle, and later on in the sequel as well.

Jean's is jealous that Storm was able to learn how to wield and control her powers all by herself, while Jean instead had to endure years of stressful and painful sessions with Xavier to perform what looked like trivial tasks in levitation and telepathy control. Jean had to have her telepathic powers temporarily blocked when things seemed to get out of control, while Xavier never had to block Storm's powers for her own good. Jean also resents Storm's natural ability at being able to block some telepathic probing. Which Jean in her current demented state feels has given Ororo the advantage all these years in being able to keep the Professor out of her head while Jean's convinced he's always been probing her mind. Keep in mind that at this point, Jean is a little insane so what she's feeling isn't necessarily real or even appropriate, since during happier times she felt no such resentment or anger.

But you just can't argue rationally with an insane person, and thta's the whole point. Especially when that insane person's powers are suddenly strong enough to destroy the school with a single thought. Before this scene there will be another scene in the infirmary when Jean is first brought back to the mansion, with Storm, Logan, and adult Warren, and Nightcrawler wondering what's happened to her, and Xavier who explains what happened and what is going on. Hopefully once you had a chance to read that scene things should make more sense, at least with respect to what's happened to Jean. Like I said, this is a work in progress so we won't necessarily be tossing scenes out in their correct order. But if you have questions as to why things are happening the way they are, please don't hesitate to ask!

I like the part of showing Storm's past...but at some points i have to disagree. Congrats for trying you two.

Thanks for the support! Which parts do you not agree with BTW? You're all entitled to your opinions. We've certainly debated them for months. This project however will be based on our opinions. Penn and Kinberg presented a movie based on their opinions. Now you'll see a movie based on ours. We debated how we feel the motivations and concepts should have been played out based on the course we felt X1 and X2 were moving in. Now these concepts will be brought to life.

Can i just say something? i hope you dont get bad on me, but i think your ideas work better for a book than for a movie.

It's gonna eventually end up as a book, but since the essense is the rewrite of a movie (fleshing out and expanding roles, changing the motivations and outcomes of a scene to something we feel is far more appropriate yet recognizeable as X3), we started things out in script form

 

[CapBeerCino]

I like it so far, but I want to read it as a whole...

 

[flavio_lebeau]

The secret resentment is explained a bit later on in the scene. Jean's jealousy that Storm was able to learn how to wield and control her powers all by herself, while Jean instead had to endure years of stressful, agonizing and painful sessions with Xavier to perform what looked like trivial tasks in levitation and telepathy control.

I dont know, but, if she hated Jean, she would call her "sister"? I think Jean might be jealous of Storm a little, but, well, not to the point of hurting their friendship...if Jean said she hated Ororo, ok, but...Ro hating Jean, i see no reason...
anyways, its your story, i'll stop putting my fingers

edit: i just read your bigger reply, i'll wait for the whole thing, sorry for this nitpick

 

[ntcrawler]

I dont know, but, if she hated Jean, she would call her "sister"?

It is a secret resentment. A little darkness that is hinted at but which will eventually come to a climax. In addition, keep in mind that what we're posting is not necessarily set in stone. Certain elements such as dialogue I know I'll be tweaking, based on any constructive suggestions from people willing to help out with proofreading and reviewing.

I think Jean might be jealous of Storm a little, but, well, not to the point of hurting their friendship...

That's the key. Under normal circumstances, Jean would not hurt the friendship. Because as we know, they got along great together for years. But a deranged Jean that just came back from the dead and whose mind is scrambled? That's a different story. She's not exactly thinking coherently at this point

if Jean said she hated Ororo, ok, but...Ro hating Jean, i see no reason...
anyways, its your story, i'll stop putting my fingers

This is a plot twist but will be fleshed out and explored and (explained!) throughout the rest of the story. It's not going to be a one-time thing that's mentioned and then forgotton, like NightCrawler was in X3

edit: i just read your bigger reply, i'll wait for the whole thing, sorry for this nitpick

no problem! Adeus meu amego!

 

[Psylocke8]

Goin great ntcrawler. I am looking forward on how you are gonna do My scenes!

 

[ntcrawler]

I like it so far, but I want to read it as a whole...

I realize things look a bit confusing, but that's because we jumped in and started attacking scenes at random before our writer's block kicked in. I'm mainly trying to finish Scott's story arc up until Alkali Lake at this point. Once that's out of the way, things will go easier and we'll do our best to try and present things in an orderly, coherent manner

 

[antariksh]

boooooooooo on this thread.

 

[Majik1387]

^Do you ever post anything intelligent?

 

[La_She-Beast]

boooooooooo on this thread.

Ignore him, ignore him- please no arguements in this thread

Spoiler

idiotic dumb@ss

 

[CapBeerCino]

Ignore him, ignore him- please no arguements in this thread

Edit: only cause you asked...

 

[flavio_lebeau]

i would like to read X4 too. You guys are doing one too, right?

 

[Goddessreicho]

boooooooooo on this thread.

WTF is that soposed to mean! Do you like this idea, you don't. Did you actually read anything?

Wow...I have no other words to say about that.

Flavio, I read your comments, and I will do what I can to throughly explain the scene. But keep in mind that its out of order and unfinished.

When this is all done it will be posted in either script or novel form.

All other comments relevent to this either good or bad are always appreciated. Thanks.

Oh yea, if any one wants to beta, please please please feel free.

 

[Goddessreicho]

I forgot to say that I'm working on some missing scenes with Mystique, Colossus, Kitty, Iceman, Rogue and Jubilee.

Just small scenes, but it fleshes out the characters and explains thier reasonings behind some of thier actions.

Flavio, I read your comments, and I will do what I can to throughly explain the scene. But keep in mind that its out of order and unfinished.

When this is all done it will be posted in either script or novel form.

okay, keep up the great work, you and ntcrawler

So is everyone entering their own scene idea? I think it would be great if we could all pick a scene, write and or illustrate it, and then post it here. We could peer review each other and when it is all done we would have our own completed fan movie.
