MKSG The X-Men: Survival - Issue #10
Central New York City, Upper Manhattan - 4 a.m.
Kurt and Bobby have been talking with police officers on the scene for the last 2 hours. Their friends, their family, Ororo Munroe and Scott Summers, also known as Storm and Cyclops, had been killed in a car crash. Bobby didn't believe a word of it.
“So how long until the lab results get back to us?! I need proof it was them!”
“Sir, please calm down,” the officer says, as Bobby attempts again to push past her and get to the wreckage of Scott's car, still smoking at the side of the road.
“Bobby. Maybe ve just 'ave to face it. They're just… gone,” Kurt says, thinking Bobby is in denial.
“No way Kurt! Absolutely not! There's no way in hell that two members of the X-Men get killed in a car crash! I bet Stryker had something to do with it, that bastard! They were just leaving his show!”
Then, the officer's radio buzzes.
***BUZZT ALL UNITS REPORT IN. GUN FIGHT IN MIDTOWN MANHATTAN. 48TH AND 6TH. OFFICERS SAYING IT'S A MUTANT ATTACK AT THE STRYKER SHOW!***
Bobby and Kurt look at each other, as the police officers rush off, leaving the firefighters to deal with the wreckage.
“What if it's them, Elf?” Bobby says hopefully.
Without hesitation, Kurt throws off the cloak that was hiding his face, revealing his X-Men outfit. Bobby activates his powers, turning his body to ice, and he too discards his cloak which concealed his outfit. Kurt then grabs Bobby's arm, and they disappear with a BAMF
The next second, they arrive outside the studio in Manhattan where 'The Stryker Show' is filmed. Police have surrounded the building, and SWAT are just pulling up outside too.
“We need to get in there before they do!” Bobby says, as Kurt teleports them inside. They arrive in the main filming hall, but there's no one about.
Suddenly, the main stage doors burst open and 4 Purifier soldiers come running out, terrified. The doors swing shut behind them. They take one look at Nightcrawler and Iceman, and continue fleeing past them.
Then Kurt and Bobby hear something loud and bassy. Footsteps. Very heavy footsteps, coming closer and closer.
BAM BAM BAM BAM
The doors explode off their hinges as a humongous man plows through, followed by 4 other mutants. Kurt and Bobby recognise half of them immediately.
Before them stands Magneto, Blob and Toad, as well as 3 others they don't recognise. By the looks of them, they are, or were, Morlocks, also known as ‘Sewer Mutants’.
The Purifiers continue running to the other side of the room, but Magneto plucks metal bars from the seats and barricades the doors. Toad uses his tongue to grab the weapons from 2 Purifiers at they attempt to retaliate, but he's too quick. Blob is about to squish one of them, but Nightcrawler teleports under his foot, then teleports the Purifier away from immediate danger. Iceman aims his hands at Magneto and Toad.
“Stop trying to kill them, Magneto!” He warns.
Magneto lowers himself from the air and chuckles.
“Well well well, if it isn't some unfriendly faces. The X-Men.”
After a moment of tension, Magneto waves his hand and his Acolytes stop attacking.
“Vhat are you doing here?” Kurt asks, while rounding up the 4 Purifiers and tying them all to a pole.
“We could ask you the same thing, Nightcrawler. We're here for Stryker, wherever the coward is hiding.” Magneto replies.
“We're here for him too” Bobby replies. “We think he did something to Storm and Cyclops.”
“Ah yes, 'The Weather Girl' and the 'One-eyed Wonder'. I did notice you were missing even more ranks. Speaking of, how is Angel these days? And 'The Beastie'?” Magneto taunts.
“That's enough,” Bobby responds.
Magneto nods. “Okay. Well you're looking for Stryker, and we're looking for Stryker. How about we help each other out for a bit?”
He extends a war-torn hand.
“Only if you don't kill ze prisoners here” Kurt interjects.
Stubbornly, Magneto nods and agrees, and Bobby shakes his hand.
“I'm only doing this to help Charles' children, and find Stryker,” Magneto adds.
“I know. But we need all the help we can get.” Bobby says in return.
Then, Bobby's cell phone rings. It's Kitty. Annoyed, he answers.
“Look, nobody is coming to pic- oh. Oh god. Okay, we're on the way”
Bobby looks at Kurt. “We need to get back to the Mansion ASAP. Can you get us all there, Kurt?”
“Probably, halthough zere are quite a lot of us” he says.
Just then, they hear SWAT start to mobilise outside.
“Grab one of the Purifiers too. The woman. Maybe they can help us find who we’re looking for…” Magneto says, as Nightcrawler grabs ahold of everyone, then grabs onto one of the Purifier prisoners with his tail.
“Here ve go!” he says, as SWAT storm the room.
With a sudden BAMF, all the Mutants disappear, headed to X-Mansion.
