Title: FROM THE ASHES
Pt-1<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
The Phoenix continued to pierce through solid earth until she reached the mansion above. From miles around people could see the flash of psychic/kinetic energy which brightened the night sky with a burst of fiery flame [in the unmistakable shape of a bird of prey], completely demolishing the mansion. From nearly 2 miles away the X-Men's Blackbird saw the light, the brightness strong enough to effect the X-Men's eyes, and the telekinetic energy strong enough to reap havoc on their flight and navigational instruments.
"What the HELL was that...?!??" asked Forge [flying the plane], as Xavier screamed in psychic pain...!
"I don't know...but the instruments are acting haywire...!" informed Beast, tapping the console. "We're losing altitude! Everyone prepare for an emergency landing!"
Everyone strapped in, preparing for the worse as Polaris jumped into action.
"Open the overhead hatch!" she ordered from the back.
"Can't...!" said Beast, pushing buttons that no longer responded. "Nothing's working!"
Polaris raised her hand, using her powers over magnesium to open the hatch herself. Gail force winds immediately blew into the cabin, causing some to panic. "Storm, level off the cabin pressure while the hatch is open...!" ordered Polaris, before shooting up through the opening.
Storm concentrated from her seat, stabilizing the oxygen throughout the X-Men Jet [causing everyone less anxiety, at least temporary]. Polaris took to flight in the night sky immediately after exiting the Jet. Summoning her magnetic powers, she focused them on the Jet, trying to slow the craft's momentum as it continued to plummet towards the ground. Almost instantly the pilot could feel a sluggishness in the Jet's pull, as if something [invisible] had grabbed hold and was attempting to slow it down. But while the descent was too strong for Polaris to stop it completely, she did manage to cushion the blow as The Blackbird crashed in the grassy hillsides of Salem Manor, then skid to a harsh stop.
"Is everyone alright...?" asked Beast, after the dust cleared.
"We're ALIVE...!" responded Wolverine.
The X-Men exited the craft [alive, but somewhat shaken up], with the crumbled remains of Salem Manor in their sights...
"Is THIS supposed to be their version of the Institute...?" asked Rogue, as dust and smoke seeped from the mansions remains. "I'm NOT impressed!"
"That fiery symbol we saw before we crashed..." recalled Forge, "...it came from HERE!"
"It was Phoenix...!" said Xavier, being helped from the Blackbird by two students holding each arm. "I'm afraid we're too late...!"
"Jean...?" asked Spirit [her lesbian roommate].
"If Phoenix has emerged..., the Jean WE know no longer exists...!" informed Xavier, standing on his own two feet [now that he's recovered from his psychic shock last chap].
"I don't understand, Professor..." said Spirit, feeling lost. "...Jean IS Phoenix, right...?"
"Yes and no...!" answered Xavier, having hoped the day would never come where he would have to explain Phoenix's existence. "Jean was originally born to be a twin..., but her sister's embryo got absorbed into Jean's, merging their x-genes and personas...! Jean had psychic abilities far before she reached puberty, --when most mutants come into power...! She..., --under her SISTER'S added power, could see and hear things with her mind! Abigail was becoming the more dominate of the two personalities, and began making bad things happen to the people around them! When I first met Jean Grey, she was only 8 years old and already a ward of a mental institution! I was able to go inside her mind and locate the more stable personality, --Jean's.., and bring HER to the surface while isolating and locking Abigail away deep down in Jean's subconscious mind!" explained the Professor, to the horrific faces staring back at him. "I always HOPED Jean would stay in control of her sister's persona by strengthening the psychic restraints I taught her in private sessions..., but with Emma Frost roaming about in her head..., I guess Jean lost all sense of who she was again..., allowing Abigail to reemerge!"
"So what do we do...?" asked Storm, "How do we turn her BACK into Jean...?"
"Once Abigail became the dominate force..., there IS no turning back...! Jean Grey no longer exist!" explained Xavier.
"Are you saying there's no way to defeat Phoenix...?" inquired Beast, sensing dread in Mountjoy's voice. "What exactly IS her goal after emerging from her sister's subconscious after all this time...?"
"Abigail is perhaps the MOST powerful psychic mind the world has ever produced..., so long as she's alive, everyone on the planet is subjectable to her whim...!" reasoned Xavier. "When Jean was a child..., Abigail was responsible for many deaths around her...! As an adult..., --with a stronger will and a stronger mind..., can you imagine the mass suicides and impromptu murders sprees she could incite...? She could start another world war! There is no end to the carnage she could spread throughout the planet!"
"So what'r you sayin', Chuck...?" asked Wolverine, standing beside Cyclops. "Jean's gotta die...?!"
"The Jean Grey WE know is already dead, Logan..." stated Xavier, bringing a hushed gasp across her friend's and teachers faces. "...it's just her BODY that is left..., much like Mountjoy and I!"
"So Jean has to die...?" asked Scott, coming to terms with reality. "NO WAY!" he stated, deadest against it. "There HAS to be another way!"
"It AIN'T, Scott..." said Wolverine, grabbing the boy by the arm. "...don't you THINK Charles already thought it all though after all these years...? He wouldn't've come to this conclusion litely...! There MUST not be any other way to stop `er!"
"But...but I treated her so bad, Logan..." cried Scott, feeling guilty for dumping her for his male teacher.
"I kno' kid..." said Logan, pulling Scott's head to his broad shoulder. "...so did I...!"
"Wait..." said Xavier, reading some residual thought patterns... "...over THERE...!" he pointed, as an energy sphere suddenly burst up from underground. "It's The Inner Circle!"
The X-Men went into offense mode as the sphere suddenly rolled to a landing, then disappeared, spilling members of the Inner Circle out onto the grassy lawns.
"Selene..., you SAVED us...!" said Shinobi Shaw, gratefully.
"Not fer long, bub...!" said Wolverine, standing over Shinobi with his claws extended. However, Shinobi was defended by The Red King, who branded his sword and attacked at Wolverine with intense precision. Wolverine was easily able to deflect the Swordsmen's lounges defensively with his claws.
The fight however, put everyone else in defense mode as The Inner Circle and The X-Men began to spar off in battle...
"You're going to PAY for what you did to Jean...!" yelled Storm, shooting lightning bolts directly into The Circle, striking several members at once.
Cannonball shot though immediately after, knocking many of The Circle members off their feet. The Blue King and Queen [The Hunters] went into attack mode, fighting their way through the onslaught of X-Men. The Black King went after Nightcrawler [he closest to him], causing the teenage boy to vanish in a puff of smoke & brimstone. The Red Rook [Azazel] saw Nightcrawler's disappearance, and vanished [himself] in a flash of fire & brimstone, meeting Nightcrawler in the same dimension.
"WHOO...?!" responded Kurt in shock [having never seen anyone in his own personal private dimension before], but was quickly kicked in the chest by Azazel before reappearing in OUR dimension, slamming backwards onto the ground. Azazel appeared several feet over a breathless Nightcrawler, then dropped down [feet first] in an attempt to crush him under his boots, when Nightcrawler quickly vanished again [causing Azazel's feet to slam the ground through his smoke] then reappeared behind Azazel, wrapping his tail around the older man's red neck and throwing him backwards back into the Circle. But before Azazel could hit anyone, he vanished again...
The Blue King [having lost the fight of Nightcrawler to Azazel] turned his attentions to Thunderbird, as the two men fought in hand to hand combat. The Blue Queen took on Gambit, slapping the teenage boy around until Gambit didn't know if he were coming or going. In an attempt to defend himself and save his pride, he countered The Huntress's fly kick, then roughly grabbed her from behind...
"Would not THIS be a much better way to fight, mon chere...?" he asked, his bulging crotch plastered against tight leather ass...
The Blue Queen could feel Gambit's bulge rubbing against her. As he began to hump, she threw her head back into his face, butting him in the nose... "ARRHHH..." he screamed, letting her go to grab his smarting nose. "...bitch!"
The Blue Queen spun around on one foot, then connected the other to Gambit's face, knocking him cold instantly.
Northstar took to the air when The White Rook [Tarot] pulled a picture of a gargoyle from her her deck of tarot cards, then made it come to life. The gargoyle screamed a blood curdling screech before taking flight, chasing after Northstar.
Spirit countered Tarot's attack on her teammate by pulling the thing that Tarot feared most from her nightmares: being taken by her own card creations. Spirit watched as Tarot's cards came to life, then turned on her physically as they began ripping at her clothing. Tarot screamed for help, but her voice was cut off when one of the hideous monsters shoved its fat cock in her mouth, shutting her up. Another monster slithered underneath her, slipping its long slithering cock up and around her thighs like a snake before sliding into her cunt. And a third monster squat down behind her, shoving its enormous hardon directly through her taut asshole, all raping her simultaneously.
The White Bishop [Cyborg] saw Tarot withering on the ground like a child in the midst of a nightmare, and went after the source. Polaris intercepted just as Cyborg was about to yank Dana Moonstar by the braids, and lifted him straight up into the air before he could do any harm. Using her considerable powers over magnesium, she easily ripped the cybernetic parts from his arms and legs [rendering him useless], before gently easing him back to the ground with nothing left but his human torso.
Leland [The Black Bishop] saw Cyborg being ripped apart by Polaris, and focused his gravitational powers on the magnetic mistress, causing her to plummet to the ground. But not satisfied with just simply grounding her, he added more gravity to her weight, causing her to start to sink into the ground as if it were quicksand.
Sunspot saw Polaris' dilemma, and ran over and gut punched Leland in his huge husky stomach, winding him badly before catching him with an uppercut, knocking the big man's lights out.
Sebastian Shaw walked up behind Sunspot, then grabbed his shoulder forcefully. Sunspot spun around, then punched Shaw directly in the chest. The impact would have floored any other foe, but Shaw merely absorbed the kinetic energy [empowering himself] before grabbing Sunspot by the head and roughly jamming 4 fingers up the Brazilian boy's not so tight ass [straight through his uniform]. Sunspot felt an immediate jolt shoot through his groin as his cock got hard.
"If you think Mountjoy did damage in that ass...just wait until I've had MY chance to bust open this hole...!" threatened Shaw, making Sunspot's cock throb with excitement.
((("Release him, Shaw..."))) said Xavier, telepathically. ((("...the boy's no threat to you!")))
"ah, Professor..." said Sebastian, still holding Sunspot in his grasp as he searched the fight ground for the Professor... "...or should I say, MOUNTJOY...?!"
((("I assure you, Shaw..., I AM the Professor...!"))) said Xavier, walking through the fight zone unaffected, as if no one but Shaw could see him.
"Are you SURE...?" asked Shaw, staring directly into Mountjoy's eyes. "Isn't there some residual desire to re-ravage this boy's hot black ass again...? You couldn't get enough of fucking him when you held him captive in The Chamber...!" reminded Shaw [back when Sunspot was kidnapped and fucked by the real Mountjoy].
A familiar smirked crept across Mountjoy's face, as if reminiscing memories of that experience with Roberto, convincing Shaw that the REAL Mountjoy still lurked inside. But before he could reveal his beliefs, he was psychically blasted in the template with an Xavier migraine. "AARRRRHHHGGG...!!" he cringed, falling to his knees in surrender as Sunspot [reluctantly] escaped [his asshole desiring more attention]. However Xavier was bested by Shinobi, who came to his father's aid by intangibly phasing his hand though Mountjoy's back and physically grabbing his heart with his hand while it was still beating inside Mountjoy's chest cavity.
"If you value your own life,Professor..., you'll release my father...!" he ordered, prepared to rip the heart out whole.
Xavier released his mind-lock on Sebastian's brain, giving the man complete control over his own thinking again. But when Shinobi tried to remove his hand, he found himself stuck [unable to phase], as Mountjoy had began to absorb him... "AARRHHHH..." he yelled, as a hostile takeover began.
Captain Brittan [The Red Knight] and Colossus began to spar off, as did The Son Of Satan with his sister Satanna [The White Knight and Black Rook of the New York division] against several X-Men [Beast, Angel, Havok, Cyclops, & Karma], prompting them to summon a demon horde from the depths of hell to help aid them in battle.
Demons of all sizes, shapes, and ferociousness emerged from nowhere [exploding from beneath the Earth], charging the remaining X-Men as Havok and Cyclops began blasting them with their super high plasmic/optic blasts, and the others began to dodge being torn to shreds.
"Cease combat everyone..." yelled The Red Queen [The Red Sorceress] and Mastermind, garnering attention in their direction "...I have the reason for all this fighting right HERE...!" she declared, exposing Jean Grey's existence to the X-Men.
"Jean...?" called Spirit, ceasing her attack on Tarot, who immediately discovered none of her torments were real.
The X-Men all stopped fighting, as did The Inner Circle...
"Jean...!" yelled Beast, jumping to her aid as he took her from The Sorceress and began checking her vital signs. "She's alive!" he announced to the others, getting a sigh of relief from everyone who knew and loved her.
"What's WRONG with her...?" asked Karma, as Jean continued to be unconscious.
"The White Queen extracted the other entity from Jean's psychic..." informed Mastermind, "...drawing it into herself, hoping to steal its power for her own...!"
"But the Phoenix is too strong..." advised Xavier [having released Shinobi from his hold], "...she couldn't possibly control such power...! Even I couldn't contain The Phoenix without her taking over!"
"So she learned, the HARD way...!" said The Huntress.
"So...that was EMMA we saw disappearing into a fiery bird when we came up...?" asked Forge, relieved.
"The question IS..." said Sebastian Shaw, speaking for the entire Circle. "...HOW do we turn her back...?!"
"I'm afraid there IS no way of separating Emma Frost from The Phoenix entity without killing them both!" said Xavier.
"BULLSHIT...!" said Sebastian, sensing a setup. "If it were JEAN instead of Emma, you'd find a way to save her!"
"Wrong again, bub..." said Wolverine, extracting his claws. "...we were already comin' up wit a plan to KILL Jean if we needed to...! Search our minds if you have anyone here who can do it!"
Everyone looked to Mastermind...
"Don't look at me..." he said, defensively. "...I can only direct your thoughts and project mine, I can't read what you're thinking...!"
"For pete's sake, step aside...!" said Selene, walking up to the Wolverine and placing her hands up to his cranium while staring deeply into his eyes. It took a lot of concentrating [not on the same psychic levels as Jean, Emma, or Charles], but she was able to pull the thoughts from his mind... "He's telling the truth..." she said, having SEEN their conversation.
Wolverine pushed Selene's hands away from his head, just in case she continued reading thoughts she had no right to...
"So what happens now...?!" asked The Huntress.
"Now...? We find The Phoenix...and we STOP her...!" said Xavier.
"Impossible..." said Selene, "...if she's as powerful as you SAY she is..., how are you expected to stop her...?"
"We may have a fighting chance if we fight her together as one...!" said Xvaier, hoping to unite The X-Men and The Inner Circle.
"Then you have NO chance, Mountjoy..." said Shaw, gathering his flock. "...The Inner Circle will not turn on one of its own...!"
"Don't be stupid, Shaw..." said Xavier, realizing the seriousness of the moment. "...Phoenix will turn on us ALL..., she has no loyalties to either side!"
"So YOU say..." said Shaw, stepping into a clearing with his New York Circle. "...but time will tell...! Are you coming son...?" he asked the London Branch.
"We will find our own mode of transport back to Europe!" said Shinobi, as he bid ado to his father.
Sebastian Shaw nodded to his son, then signaled to The White Knight [Damian Hellstrom] who raised his pitchfork, then created a circle of Hell's Flame which burnt bright as the sun and slowly consumed the Inner Circle in the heart of crackling fire, then teleported them back to NY, leaving a dark charred circle of burn grass where they once stood, as the air returned to normal.
"And YOU, Shinobi...?" questioned Xavier, turning to the London Branch.
"We do not share the blind loyalties my father's branch does, Professor..." said Shinobi. "...if Emma Frost is a danger to the entire world..., WE are at your disposal...!"
"We appreciate that, Shaw...!" said Xavier. "Our first order is to FIND The Phoenix! It shouldn't be hard..., all we need do is follow the carnage...!"
Pt-2<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
ELSEWHERE...
Bodies heaved and panted in breathless passion amid the suck sounds and slaps of erotic flesh. Hard cocks penetrated and drove through wet sucking orifices [mouths, assholes & pussy alike], ravishing them brutally and deep as the groans of the erotic reached magnitude levels of excitement and pleasure. Spontaneous orgasms erupted as sperm shot forth, drenching everything within its path. As soon as one cock left a drooling orifice, another hardon appeared, sinking deep inside and taking over with a frantic and frightful pace. Men, women, and even children were not immune to the sexual epidemic which started to reach across the coast line. Mass reports of people suddenly bursting out of their clothes and consorting in sexual mayhem broke across the news waves. Even the news anchors announcing the reports began shedding their clothes and having sexual relations on camera with staff. Hospitals, airports, subway systems, transit vehicles, churches, restaurants, theatres, and even busy NY streets were affected by what many outside the affected zone began calling a terrorist attack, using airborne chemicals to affect vast numbers of unsuspecting people.
But at the heart of the massive orgy [at the epicenter] sat the newly born Phoenix, residing over her reign from The Empire State Building, watching as the entire city of New York began to fall under her demonic influence.
