Wolverine stands in front of his team. Assembled X Men and students. Volunteers from the Brotherhood and Morlocks. Acolyte's as well. Apocalypse has risen, and has chosen their leaders as his horsemen.
"Everything you've ever learned about yourselves - your strengths, and your limits...it all comes down to this very moment. We're the world's last, best hope to stop this madman."
The battle is intense, both physically, psychically, and emotionally. Drained and confused, students find their mentors and teachers and bring them home. But there are still unanswered questions. Rogue voices everyone's concern and Wolverine hopes to put her at ease.
"Where'd it go?"
"I don't know. Hopefully it just fell through the cracks of time, never to be seen again."
"For some reason, I don't think we'll be that lucky."[/i]
While life goes on, no one has completely forgotten about Apocalypse, or about the Professor's cryptic speech. Secret worries, some nightmares, and quiet fears spread through the X Men. Not wanting to burden anyone else with their troubles, they keep to themselves, putting on the facade of being all right, of life moving on. But in the dead of night, alone in their beds, staring at the ceiling, eyes shut tight they hear the Professor's words and wonder.[/font]
Thanks to you all, we have averted catastrophe. It was not without its price, however. But steel is forged through fire, and like it, we have been made stronger. We are prepared for what the future brings. I know this, because I have glimpsed it in the mind of Apocalypse. Many challenges still await us, but I saw some who have been our enemies become friends. And, with a heavy heart, I saw the dearest of friends become the most terrible enemies. I saw my X-Men grow and change. And, of course, I saw that some people never change. But one thing was clear - that no matter what awaits us, terrible or wondrous, the X-Men will always be there, ready. And of that, I am proud.[/i]
Without them even realizing it, now is the time. Slowly many of the things he saw are coming to light. With the X Men divided in their own thoughts will they notice in time? Or will they be victims of their own. . . [/font]
