You should note that the story takes place in comic format (i.e, through continuation into different comics) this is because I consider this story an Alternate to the Onslaught Crossover in Marvel Comics last year, therefore each story takes place over last years Onslaught Issues. Without any further adieu : The Herald Of Armageddon I am the Watcher, it is my duty and pleasure to observe the world known as Earth, recently I watched as it was nearly destroyed, it was saved from Onslaught only by the apparent sacrifice of it's heroes. This led me to stare into an alternate reality where the terror of Onslaught never occurred. In this world the mutant villains Apocalypse and Sinister tried to manipulate the now leaderless X-Men into fighting thier battles for them, but they were instead destroyed by their own foul machinations. As I left that Universe, it was with hope, for Apocalypse and Sinister were no more, the Legacy Virus was destroyed and humans and mutants had taken a step closer to accepting each other. But as I peer back now, I fear that I see an end to that hope, with the coming of Galactus' newest Herald, the former mutant Magneto, now known as Magnus... (Note : The Comics referred to in this story are all the comics involved in the Onslaught Crossover) ------------------------------------------- X-Men 50 - A Nightmare Of The Past's Future. ------------------------------------------- Xavier frowned in his sleep. Since the defeat of Apocalypse and Sinister, since Graydon Creed's political aspirations had collapsed around him, he had had nothing but pleasant dreams. Since the legacy virus had been cured he had been content to sit back and watch the world react...and for once the reaction was in favor of Mutants. Now he suffered a nightmare. He sat upon the beach, it was night and all around him he heard the sound of the waves crashing against the shore. But the sound that had once soothed him now made him feel uneasy. Something was coming. He could feel it in his bones, he knew it was the truth, somehow, in someway that surpassed telepathy, he knew someone was coming. "Hello Charles," the voice whispered behind him, Xavier's heart sank as he heard the familiar voice. "Erik?" "Come Charles," the voice mocked him,"I have not been Erik Magnus Lennsher for some time now." Xavier hung his head,"Magneto then?" The laughter was hard and bitter,"Once perhaps, but Charles, your hate has made me so much more!" Xavier whirled to face his arch-nemesis, he tried to move to his feet, but they did not respond, here in the dream, his legs were as dead and useless as if they had never been mobile. He twisted his body to look and saw Magneto standing above him, his familiar red armor dull in the darkness. "Erik, please, leave it be!" he moaned - both in his dream and in the real world. "How can I, when you keep calling me back," laughed Magneto bitterly. Xavier grabbed the Mutant terrorist by the hips and pulled himself up to face him, behind the mask he could see nothing but darkness. He grabbed the helmet and pulled it away, collapsing to the ground. Looking up, he stared in horror at his own face, suffused with anger and hatred. "No more," screamed the other Xavier,"Logan shall be the last!" Xavier felt more than heard the mocking, teasing tone to the anger, dropping his head to the ground he screamed. Henry McCoy - The Beast - put down the set of flowers and groaned,"Not again!" "What de matter?" muttered Gambit around a piece of bacon,"You sick of getting de flowers and tank you notes?" "No, it's the love letters that have stretched my endurance to it's uttermost limits," he snorted back. "Come on Beast," laughed Gambit,"No one e'er get tired of de love letters!" "From men!" exclaimed the Beast. Gambit began to choke with laughter, eventually spitting his half chewed bacon out,"Dey still tink you and me was planning dat romantic dinner, no?" (*) "Yes, my Louisanian friend, and I stress FRIEND!" growled the Beast. "Come now," laughed Gambit, standing up from the table,"Can anyone - man or female - really resist this package?" Loud laughter from the doorway interrupted him, he turned to see Rogue facing him. "What you find so funny, eh chere?" "Ah was just wondering, who gets to be the man?" Gambit and Beast peered at each other uneasily, Remy's eyes dropped to the Beast's groin, wondering if it was proportioned like the rest of him. "ME!" they said in unison. "Oh you big brave men, so scared to do what woman have been doing for millennia!" She sauntered over to the refrigerator, she was dressed in a short t-shirt and small white panties, and Gambit gulped as she bent over to pick some milk out of the refrigerator. "Neat trick," smirked The Beast,"You should do it while Gambit is eating," he pointed at the half chewed bacon,"He certainly needs the help!" Bishop looked at the picture on the mantle, smiling briefly he turned away and found Storm leaning against the doorway, grinning at him. "Yes?" he asked, noting the smug look on her face. "Do you miss Jubilee?" she asked. Bishop shook his head,"It is good to be able to watch t.v without her trudging in and begging to watch Saturday morning cartoons!" Storm just kept smiling, finally Bishop grinned back,"Very well, I do miss her - and she was normally up too late on Saturdays to watch cartoons anyway." "I believe you used to tape them for....." she began. "Shall we leave the subject there?" he overrode her,"I am sorry to see her go, but I also feel a strange, uplifting sensation at seeing her leave us." "It's called pride," Storm said,"She's off to join Generation X at Xavier's insistence, and we feel pride that he feels justified to send her there." "And a little sadness," Bishop said,"She's just a child." "She is eighteen," Storm said, her smile turning a little sad,"I remember when she first came to us, a frightened fourteen year old with no idea of what was to come." "Let us stop looking back at the past,"Bishop finally said,"It is a beautiful day, for a change, I thought I might sit out in the sun and enjoy it." Storm tried to keep her mouth from dropping. "Where's the Prof? Where's Scott and Jean?" Bobby Drake - Iceman yawned. "My goodness Jim," said the Beast in a rocky, craggy voice,"It's some kind of language, but like none I've ever heard before." "You are.....correct.....Bones," Sam Guthrie - Cannonball - replied haltingly. "Funny," laughed Bobby,"So who's Spock?" Elisabeth Braddock - Psylocke - entered the room, she walked imperiously, not a hint of emotion on her face, disdaining to pay attention to the Beast, Cannonball, or Iceman. She took a carton of milk from the refrigerator and poured herself a glass. "Ahh, Ms Braddock," asked Cannonball, a little unsure of himself,"Ain't it a little early to be in uniform?" Psylocke was indeed wearing her uniform, a tight blue top hugged her large breasts and skinny waist, her long legs were practically bare, save for blue bands around the thighs and blue stockings/boots. "No," she replied simply, she drank the milk, returned the carton and placed it back in the refrigerator. She walked out of the kitchen, seeming to put a little shake into her walk. "There's your answer," replied Iceman,"Mrs Spock." "I do not believe young Mr Guthrie can hear you," laughed the Beast, Iceman looked up at Cannonball and saw that the new X-Man was still watching the door, his mouth hanging slightly open. Bobby laughed and repeated his previous question, this time without yawning. "The Professor is still sleeping," replied Hank,"As for Scott and Jean, they're still in bed." "Hmmm?" murmured Cannonball, shaking his head slightly,"Are Scott and Jean still asleep, I thought I heard them talking earlier?" "I never said they were still asleep," replied Hank,"Just that they were in bed," he turned and winked slightly at Iceman as Cannonball blushed furiously. Scott lay with his arm around Jean's waist, they were pressed up against each other and he found himself wondering how it was, that after 12 years of marriage (albeit in the future and in different bodies) he was still incredibly turned on by the sight of her. She felt his cock press up against the small of her back, her eyes remained closed but she smiled slightly,"Didn't you get enough last night?" she yawned. "If you were chocolate I'd eat you till I exploded," he whispered into her ear,"I can't get enough of you." "My poor little pussy is gonna start smoking one of these days," she replied, opening her eyes slightly for a second, then closing them again. "Maybe we should restrict ourselves to just once a week then," he said with a grin. She instantly turned around and glared at him, a look of mock terror on her face. "You want to give me a heart attack, Mister?" He reached down and grabbed one of her breasts in his free hand,"I can still feel your heart beating." "Naughty boy, maybe I should spank you?" "Now who's insatiable?" he laughed. She reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him down to her they kissed passionately. The hand around her waist slid down between her asscheeks and a finger slid into her pussy, it was already growing wet. "Dirty girl," he murmured, breaking the kiss,"I believe you're getting turned on by this!" His cock was now rammed against her belly, she peered down at it and smiled,"You're a poster child for self control." She pushed him down onto the bed, he lay on his back and his cock pointed up towards her. She slid a fingernail along it's length and a shiver went though his entire body. She wrapped her hand around him and slowly began jacking him off, pre-cum oozed from his head and she began rubbing his member up and down with it. "Ahhhh....." he moaned,"Jean, that feels great." She smiled down at him and slid her free hand down to her pussy, a finger slid in between her lips. "Whatever would the others say if they knew you masturbated," he said with a grin. "Look whose talking," she laughed back. "Oh I don't wank," he said with a grin,"I have someone to do that for me!" She laughed back then released her hold on his cock, standing up on the bed, she stood over him and then lowered herself down onto his cock. He felt once more the incredible sensation of entering her, joining with her in a special way. It was different with them because of the mindlink they shared, each felt the others pleasure and in turn felt pleasure from that. She slowly began pumping up and down, his thick cock sliding in and out of her moist pussy lips, a hand slid down to her clitoris and she began rubbing it. "Jean, you are insatiable!" he groaned, she laughed and lowered down, so she lay on top of him, her breasts pressing against his chest. She began sliding up and down, his cock moving in and out of her slowly. Scott was approaching ejaculation when suddenly Jean stopped, through their mindlink he also felt it, waves of terror and shock seemed to wash over them. Jean leaped of off him, his cock slid out of her with a scchlipp, she grabbed a bathrobe and wrapped it around her body. "Jean, who was that?" he gasped. Jean stared up at him, anxiety clear in her eyes. "It was the Professor." Xavier screamed in pain as he felt Magneto's pain. He stood in Magneto's armor upon Avalon, now he felt the pain as his mind was taken over, his powers pushed to his uttermost limits. The damage done to his mind was irrevocable. "I didn't know," he screamed,"I was trying to save the world!" "Who asked you to be the messiah?" came Magneto's voice, and Xavier realized with a chill that it was his own voice. "What was I supposed to do, let you go unanswered for the thousands you killed when you disrupted the Earth's electromagnetic flow?" "Is the answer to violence more violence? To hatred more hatred? Once you said those words to me, preached the open hand over the closed fist.....what has become of your high morals? Your dream?" Xavier started awake, screaming, hands grabbed him by the shoulders and he struggled to free himself of their grip. - Professor! - came a voice in his mind, - Professor, please calm down. - He forced himself to stop, opening his eyes he found himself staring at Jean, who held him by his shoulders. Behind her stood Cyclops and the Beast, in a dark corner he saw Psylocke with her arms folded across her chest, the red mark of the Crimson Dawn seemed to glow vividly, then it was just a mark once more and he turned to face Jean. "What is it?" Jean cried,"I thought you were being attacked, but I detected no psionic interference." "No," gasped the Professor, pulling the sheets away from him and hopping out of the bed. For a few seconds he feared his legs would not work, but they supported him, he pulled pants over his jockeys and turned to stare at his students,"Somehow, I was warning myself, I fear that Magneto may be returning in a way we never foresaw, I fear Magneto may be returning within me!" * - During the award winning X-Crossover Something Sinister This Way Comes, a young checkout girl mistakenly came to the conclusion that Gambit and the Beast are gay. The story comes out in the papers after Hank cures the Legacy Virus. (Note that two issues pass before the next story. In those issues Psylocke begins to act strangly and Angel takes her to a mountain retreat in Colorado.) ------------------------ X-Men 53 - First Contact ------------------------ The most advanced tracking system in the world belongs to Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four & Doctor Doom (Reed and Doom developed it seperate of each other, neither realising the other was working on it. They finished at roughly the same time and both mistakenly believe they were to first to invent it), but neither of them detect the anonmaly. The next most advanced systems belong to the X-Men, Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D, but they do not detect it either. The comet passes into Earth's atmosphere, a few people see it and point. "Wish on it," one man says to his son,"It's good luck to see a shooting star." He is wrong. The comet disappears below any possible radar detection and levels out, the rock formation collapses to reveal a man, flying through the air, a look of fierce joy on his face. Magnus lands on the grass, the rock has been destroyed, he has left no traces of his arrival. The left overs of his old uniform suddenly change, soon he is wearing what appears to be denim overalls and a white shirt. He looks younger somehow, the lines of worry and anger gone from his face. But his eyes remain the same, a little calmer than before, but the old anger and hatred not easily dispersed even by one so mighty as his master...Galac.... Magnus frowns and says aloud,"Who is my master? Galactus?" he smiles to himself, Galactus is forbidden to return to Earth, held in place by his own oath....Magnus suffers no such restriction. "I have ever been, and will always be, my own master." Colorado. Warren Worthington the Third looked down at his lover with worry. "I am fine," she moaned,"Leave me alone!" Warren frowned,"Betsy, I want to know why you did what you did?" "What are you talking about?" she asked, stretching out on the bed, she was naked and he had a hard time taking his eyes off her. "You know," he snapped, pulling his eyes away from her naked form,"Nate told me what you did to Jean." Psylocke smiled,"That boy? The so called X-Man?" "Betsy! he told me that you tried to seduce him afterwards!" She laughed, it was a rich sound, but there was a note to it that seemed to indicate contempt,"Look at me Warren, if I wanted to offer myself to that young whelp....he would blow his load." Warren groaned,"Betsy, he told me that you took Jean skinny dipping and tried to have sex with her." "So why hasn't Jean spoken of this?" Psylocke said with a grin,"Don't you find that odd?" Warren frowned again,"I don't know.....Betsy, since the Crimson Dawn healed your body it just seems like you've been acting differently." Betsy smiled, warmly, with no hint of derision,"Warren, I don't know why Nate said what he said, but I didn't try to seduce him or Jean, me and her aren't even close friends," she reached up to him and grabbed him around the neck,"Come here, I'll seduce you!" He cast aside his doubts for the moment and laughed, kissing her, his tongue slipping into her mouth, she smiled and slipped her own tongue into him. His hand cupped her breast and he began to rub her nipple between his fingers. BAAAAMMMMMM!!!!! Warren sat up in shock as the wall collapsed behind them and a giant figure strode into the room. "Juggernaut," he screamed, staring in shock at the invulnerable, unstoppable step-brother of Charles Xavier. "Yeah," mumbled Juggernaut,"Miss me." Angel's wings broke his shirt open, he lifted into the air,"I warn you Juggernaut......" "Calm down," laughed Juggernaut,"Like the new feathers though, maybe I'll use them to stuff my pillows one day. For today however, I just want some info." Angel hesitated and lowered himself to the ground, Juggernaut stood over him, glaring down, he noticed Psylocke lying on the bed. "Nice tits," he said conversationally, Psylocke gasped as she remembered she was naked, she quickly pulled a sheet over her body. "Fergit it," he said as Angel was about to issue a warning,"I'm so big that I'd rip her in two." "What do you want, Cain Marko?" she asked coldly. "Oooh, you know my name," he laughed,"What's the red shit over your eye? A tattoo?" "What do you want?" she repeated, a psi-blade formed over her closed fist. "Fergit it," he repeated,"That little mind knife of yours can't penetrate my helmet," he clonked the large round helmet on his head,"Nothing stops the Juggernaut." "Answer the question," yelled Angel. "Yeah, just one question, can Chuck walk again?" The two looked at each other in surprise, then turned to look at him,"Yeah," Angel said,"He walks, why?" "No reason," laughed Juggernaut,"I'll see ya," he turned and walked out into the snow, Angel followed. "Watch where you're going," he yelled,"There's a cliff that looks down over the mountain, you'll fall off!" Juggernaut laughed and leaped forward, going over the cliff. "So what," he yelled as he began to fall,"The ground will break my fall!" 5 days earlier ...X-Man - Nate Grey - sat in the tree watching Storm fly about in the sky. He still couldn't get over how at ease everyone seemed here, how totally unafraid and full of hope. After saving Xavier, he had been convinced to stay around the Mansion, but lately he had come to regret the decision. X-Force was coming soon, however, and he would have to leave anyway. Cable and he were basically the same person genetically, and whenever they were around each other they felt incredible pain and experienced each others memories. He sent out a small telepathic probe, looking inside Storm's mind he saw all her memories, her fears and hopes. She had once had a romantic relationship with Forge, the man who in his Universe had been like a father to him. Psylocke sped past him below the tree, moving with a ninja's grace she disappeared into the woods. Something about her troubled the powerful young mutant, nothing evil, but her closely guarded mind held a swirling, chaotic mix of strange thoughts and dark intentions. He remembered the fantasy he had picked up once, his room was next to hers, and as he lay awake, thinking about everything that had happened since he came to this Universe, her dream had suddenly intruded upon his mind, the images becoming real in front of him. He was so powerful that he could literally create images out of thin air that had real substance, and this was one of many times when he wished he couldn't. Jean Grey and Psylocke had both appeared in front of him suddenly, both naked and dripping wet from a shower, Psylocke had reached forward and grabbed one of Jean's large breasts, massaging it while the red headed mutant moaned in pleasure. Nate had quickly swept away the images, Jean Grey was the alternate version of his genetic donor in another Universe, as he was named after her, he wanted nothing to do with any fantasies like that. Now he sat in the tree, wondering what the purple haired mutant was up to. Psylocke stripped of the last of her clothes and leapt into the water, it was shockingly cold, but her mutant physiology protected her from the worst of it. She felt her nipples harden and go erect as she slowly swam in lazy circles through the lake. She heard a noise, and her telepathic senses instantly picked up who it was.....Jean Grey. "Sorry," said the red haired mutant as she stepped through the trees,"I didn't realize anyone else was here." "Do not apologize," replied Psylocke,"The lake is free for anyone to swim in." Jean looked down at Psylocke's costume. "You're skinny dipping?" Psylocke smiled,"Try it, the water feels wonderful on your bare skin." Jean - who was wearing a two piece bikini under her bathing robe - hesitated. "There is no one else around," said Psylocke with a smile,"We are two of the most powerful telepaths in the world, who is going to surprise us?" Jean hesitated a few seconds more, then slipped her bathing robe to the ground, she reached behind and fumbled with the clip, then it fell away, her large breasts springing free. Psylocke was doing a slow backstroke, revealing most of her beautiful body to Jean, their breasts were about the same size she believed, but whereas she kept her pubic hair trimmed short and shaven around the lips, Psylocke had only a small rectangle of purple pubic hair over her vagina. Jean slipped away her small bikini panties, placed them on top of her towel and slowly slipped into the ice cold water. She too felt her nipples grow erect in the cold water, and tried to withhold a shiver of pleasure. Psylocke was treading water now, watching as Jean grew used to the water, they both watched each other as they treaded water, smiling, finally Jean said,"This water is very, very cold." The both laughed, a little uneasily, Jean had never been too comfortable with Psylocke since she had tried to seduce Scott, despite the fact that it had been the Revanche part of her personality, but now that Psylocke had Angel, the tension had died down somewhat. Psylocke paddled around behind Jean and placed her arms around her neck, pulling up right next to her body, her large breasts flattening against Jean's back, she said. "How is that? Are you warmer?" "Yes," replied Jean, a little uneasily, but she had to admit, she was definitely warmer. Psylocke slowly began to rub her body up and down against Jean's back, her erect nipples sliding over the red heads shoulder blades. "What are you doing.....?" started Jean. "Shush..." whispered Psylocke,"Back in Britain the water gets a lot colder than this, people often do this to warm up, would you like me to stop?" Jean had to admit, she was warming up, and the sensation of having Psylocke's nipples running against her back was heavenly. "No, it's all right." Psylocke slid her hands back, placing them on Jean's shoulders, she slowly turned Jean around so that they were facing each other. She then pulled Jean close, hugging her to her body, she began rubbing up and down again, their breasts sliding against each other, sensitive nipples rubbing together. Jean's legs had parted slightly, and Psylocke slipped her thigh in between Jean's leg, the firm, muscular thigh slid up and down, parting Jean's cunt lips slightly, rubbing against her clitoris at the top, she did it slowly, Jean hardly even realized it was happening, her eyes were closed and her head leant back, she made small moaning noises as Psylocke's thigh rubbed against her clit and their breasts moved against each other. Jean began to move her hips herself, sliding herself up and down over Psylocke's leg. The mutant ninja lowered her mouth down, in leaning back Jean's breasts had slid above the water, and now Psylocke gently took one nipple in her mouth, lightly licking the end, causing a wave of pleasure to ride through Jean's body, she slowly began sucking on the nipple. Jean began to move her hips faster as her clit clamored for more attention, her cries became louder and faster, then suddenly she came, her juice's mingling into the lakes water as they ran around Psylocke's thigh. She collapsed against Psylocke, breathing heavily, then she sat up, stared at Psylocke in shock, then pulled away from her, quickly swimming back to shore, she jumped onto the beach, pulling her bathrobe over her still wet body and grabbing her bikini, she ran back into the forest. Psylocke lay on her back in the water, a satisfied smile on her face, and slowly masturbated. Nate watched Jean rush up the Mansions steps and inside, he frowned as he detected her thoughts. Psylocke sauntered up onto the lawn, she was apparently wearing a incredibly tiny two piece bikini - apparently. He watched her lay down in the sun and stretch out, he shook his head, she was naked.....he could sense it, despite the fact she was obviously wearing a bikini. - Come down here boy, - he heard her voice in his head, he shook his head and glided down to her, he noticed that Storm was paying no attention to them, in fact she was flying away. - I've masked us from her sight, and everyone else can only see me in this skimpy bikini. - "You're naked," he said, pushing slightly, he dispelled the telepathic illusion and saw she was indeed naked. "So now you can see my tits and pussy, you like what you see?" "What did you do to Jean, I could sense incredible guilt coming from her." "You tell me what I did boy," she said,"Maybe I'll let you feel me up if you get it right." She gasped in shock as he slipped into her mind, breaking past her defenses like they were paper. "You tried to fuck her!" he yelled. "Quiet," she moaned,"It's difficult to shield us from everyone, and you're a disorientating presence." "What the hell did you think you were doing?" "You want to fuck me?" she asked, he stopped for a second and involuntarily looked over her incredible body. "You do, don't you?" she laughed,"Come on, Warren doesn't have to know, and I'm a good fuck, I promise you." "Why are you acting like this?" "I'll let you do me up the ass," she giggled,"Have you ever buttfucked a girl, Nate? Have you ever fucked any girl?" "I don't know why, but I feel like something is influencing you, but I don't detect any telepathic influence...." "It's an incredible feeling, to be inside someone else, you'd love it...." Nate turned and walked away, Psylocke began to laugh,"That's your last chance Nate, you'll never get another.....maybe I'll send you a dream tonight about me, it's all you'll ever get." Nate walked away angrily and stepped into the Mansion. Psylocke frowned,"Why can't I make him do what I want, it was so easy with Jean?" "Don't worry about him?" a dark voice whispered in her head,"I'll take care of him." She laughed lightly and slid a finger into her pussy. Present Time Nate smiled warmly at Xavier. "You're wrong," he said,"I don't detect even one iota of Magneto's personality within you, you didn't absorb it by accident, you're fine." "Are you sure Nate?" Xavier asked, frowning,"You do realize that I may have shielded certain information without meaning to?" The X-Man smiled,"If you did, you really are the best, I completely smashed every barrier you created, every door you locked and all I saw regarding Magneto was a bitter pity." Xavier smiled slightly,"Nate, do you really have to go? there's so much we can teach you." Nate's smile slipped,"I'm sorry Professor, I thought things would be all right, but I can't deal being around so many people, their thoughts pounding my head, the things they think are so alien to me." Xavier extended his hand, Nate took it,"Goodbye then, and good luck....if you ever need help....." Nate smiled and disappeared, he had been an astral projection the entire time he and Xavier had spoken - now he was gone. "Fascinating," said the Beast, stepping into the room,"If he was an astral projection, how did he shake your hand? did he merely create the illusion of a handshake?" Xavier shook his head,"No Hank, I don't think that any one of us really realized how powerful he was." Compliments, Criticisms, Compliments or Requests to : dimitri_resides@yahoo.com
