--Near the X Mansion--
Logan tripped on the grass as he was near to the mansion. He was tired and he doesn't want to do this but he has to save the X-Men. As he crawled his way up to the hill, he saw the trucks from earlier parked in front.
"Everyone who is inside, please step out or you will be decapitated." A mercenary shouted
"Fuck. Fuck. How will I solve this." Logan said, as he saw one of the windows opened
Logan then got an idea. He sneakily made his way as he hid beneath the grass. A few more trucks started to park in front and some helicopters started to appear from above. What a great day it is. Once he was behind the mansion, he climbed through the trees and went inside the window.
"Easier than I thought." Logan said, as he slowly opened the door
He saw Hank and Scott entering classrooms and escorting the other mutants down stairs. Before he could speak, there was an explosion that happened downstairs.
"Hank! What the hell is going on!" Logan shouted
"Logan? I thought you were still in Canada?" Hank said confused. "We have some soldiers outside so we're escorting the students downstairs."
"It's A.I.M. Keep escorting them down, I think I got this." Logan said, bringing his claws out
"We still have some mutants on the west side. Maybe you could draw some attention while I run towards them."
"Sounds like a good idea. But I'm still a human shield."
They both walked down the hallway as they cleared the rooms out. All of it was clear so they tried to make their way downstairs. Suddenly two mercenaries appeared above the stairs as Logan got on front of Hank. About a dozen bullets got on Logan's chest but he fought it. He rushed both of them as he stabbed the first on his chest while the second on his head.
"That was fucking brutal, Logan. Don't do overkill." Hank said
"You want to get them out or not?" Logan asked
"Just not that much." Hank said, as he peeked downstairs. "There's 5 more that entered the mansion. Do you think you can handle that?"
"Are you fucking kidding me? I'll go first." Logan hopped over the guardrail and stabbed one on the chest. "Over here you bastards!"
Logan stabbed the second on his lower chest and thrusters him forward to the third one which pierced him as well. Bullets flew through the air but Logan let it hit his arm. Once the fourth one was reloading, he cut his arm off and stabbed him through his head. When Logan looked behind him, Hank ran across to the west side as he killed the last one.
"Is that the last one?!" Hank shouted as he managed to get across
"Not the last one. I think there is more. And I mean more!" Logan shouted
He went to the door and close it up with a board. He then went upstairs to help Hank get the students out of the floor.
"How many students left?!" Logan shouted
"There's about 20 left over here. Can you help me escort them." Hank said
Logan walked over to the classroom where Hank was escorting the students out. Logan stood near the window of the classroom but he regretted it as two men jumped in.
"Everyone get on the ground!" The mercenary shouted
Logan laid on the ground and stabbed the first one on the knee. He shouted in pain as bullets got shot on Logan's chest. The second mercenary shot him in the face but the bullet almost did nothing to him as it bounced off his head. Logan got up an stabbed the first one, who was in pain and on the floor, on the neck while he threw the second one out the window.
"You might need to buy a new shirt by the way." Hank said
"Goddamnit, everyone keeps on telling me that. I bet before I die, at least all of the X-Men will tell me that." Logan said, looking out the window
There was two helicopters flying above them and soldiers checking the sides of the house. None of them noticed Logan's head sticking out so he took advantage of this.
"I need more help in taking these guys out. We can't call the Avengers because of me. They think I'm a threat to them." Logan said
"Oh yeah... I remember the Hulk throwing you through a building. Can't you call the Fantastic Four?" Hank asked, bringing students out of their classrooms
"Do you have their number? Look, it's only us and news reporters will be out of their goddamn minds if they would be filming this shit."
"Let's bring these X-Men down and we'll talk about it downstairs." Hank said
--20 minutes later--
Logan and Hank walked through the crowd of people looking for Charles. He must be there since he issued everyone to go under and hide. Instead they managed to come across Jean.
"How did you get here, Logan?" Jean asked
"Long story. Hunter, hunter tried to kill me. Hulk, he tried to kill me and now these bastards are over here trying to take over the mansion." Logan said, still looking for Charles
"I think I can help you take those guys down. Maybe if I could release the Pho-." Jean said but was cut off short by Charles
"No... you should not release the force. Remember what happened in 1995? Logan, great to have you back." Charles said
"Charles, 1995 was so long ago. I think it was time to show the Phoenix to those bastards and teach them some good."
"Look at Jean. Using some inappropriate words, right Professor?" Logan said
"Well, she is always learning from you." Charles smiled
"We don't have time for this Professor, I checked the cameras and they have entered the building. What should we do?" Colossus said, approaching the group
"I say you should help us, big guy. What weapons are they using?" Scott asked
"Nothing too surprising. They look like they are holding some small weapons with darts in them."
"No! That is fucking scary. Those darts can paralyze our powers and remove them. They can potentially kill us. It can even pierce you too, Colossus." Logan said
"They can't if we work together. You guys help me get upstairs and outside. Once we're out, we can release the Phoenix." Jean said
"Logan, are those darts able to strip is of our powers entirely?" Hank asked
"No. It will come back but by the time it does, we're already captured." Logan said
"What are we waiting for? Let's go."
The group carefully made their way upstairs as they were greeted by some guards. Before they can draw there weapons up, Logan stabbed one of them and used him as the shield. Three guards kept on firing at their 'shield' but Logan drew it away as Scott used his laser to wipe them out. The stairs started to shake.
"I guess it's only effective outside. Just don't go too crazy on it, will you?" Logan said
Once they made it into the lobby, guards with normal weapons stood around shocked. Colossus went on the front as he threw soldiers around the place. Hank got on a few and choked them to death. But Logan was ruthless, he stabbed soldier to soldier without mercy as blood poured around the floor. One soldier hit him in the back as he turned around and ripped his stomach apart.
"What are you?" One said, as he was stabbed in the lower chest by Logan
"It's who. I'm the Wolverine, bub." Logan removed his claws from his body
Logan continued to kill the mercenaries who attacked Hank and Scott. Suddenly two men went inside with their darts ready. Charles, who stayed down, used his mind to make one of them shoot the other. Logan took advantage and killed both of them by slicing of their head.
"My God, Logan! I'm not cleaning the floor up once everything is over!" Colossus said, almost vomiting
"Who said you're going to clean up the floor?" Logan responded
"Guys, I can sense something outside. And it's not good, not even in the slightest." Jean said
Everyone looked at Jean as she concentrated her powers on the outside. Now everyone could here Charles in their minds.
"All of you, listen. I can feel our kind outside and waiting to be killed. It's Remy and Storm. We must save them before they will be executed." Charles said in their minds
"Alright, guys. We have to think of a plan. We can't go out guns blazing because they might just capture us." Scott said
"I can keep them distracted while you guys get on top of the roof. There you can release the Phoenix." Logan said. "Besides, I think I can do this."
Behind Logan's thought, he can probably escape by letting him be killed. Let him join where he needs to be. But he has to save the X-Men and might just die in an honorable way.
"Logan, are you sure about this?" Hank asked
"Let me do this. If we don't, Remy and Storm dies and maybe we'll be killed as well," Logan said, holding the door knob, "just wish me luck."
Logan opened the door as dozens of soldiers aimed at him. He can feel laser sights all over his face as helicopters hovered around him. Remy and Storm were kneeling on the ground as soldiers were keeping them from escaping. From the looks of it, they must have been stripped from there powers.
"On behalf of the leader of A.I.M., the X-Men are sentenced to die as they have been charged with murder. The suspect is James Howlett, also known as Logan." The mercenary said
"Ever since we met, you bastards have been giving me a pain in the ass! Now, the government has not allowed mutants to be killed because your bitch William Stryker died, it's only your company who said that we will be killed." Logan replied
"A.I.M. is a government unit which is served to protect and make our country grow. So we have all the power we want if we would like to arrest or kill all of you."
"Well then, that doesn't sound nice to me." Logan said. "Isn't that right, Jean?!"
Jean stood on top and floated in air as she released her powers. A majestic bird in a form of an eagle appeared which was killing the soldiers. Every soldier was falling on the ground as her powers released. The plan has worked and A.I.M. has been successfully killed.
But for some reason, her powers were not stopping. Logan's regenerating ability made him withstand the pain as it was also reaching out to the X-Men. Once again, Charles entered his mind.
"Logan, please listen to me. She cannot control her anger and we must stop it. She has stopped time as my mind can match her power and you can withstand her pain." Charles continued, talking into Logan's mind. "I need you to hold her mind as I'm to far to reach her. Hurry Logan, time is not on our side."
Logan made his way inside the mansion slowly as the pain was making him unable to walk quickly. From everyone from the X-Men, it had to be him. Once he made it to the stairs, he had fallen down.
All the pain and noise the Phoenix was producing, it overcame him. He crawled and held on the the guardrail as he was feeling more pain by the second. He was at the point of screaming as he was gasping for enough air. But he was the savior that the X-Men needed.
"Logan. Logan! You can do this. You are the Wolverine!" Logan thought as he pulled himself up and made his way up
He was slowly limping his way towards the stairs which led to the very top of the mansion. Once he made it to the stairs, he fell once again to the ground from all the noise it was making. It wasn't just vibrating in his ears, it was his past love that was screaming. He had to fight it though.
He walked step by step as he could feel a small amount of air above. He finally mad his way to the top and saw Jean screaming to the soldiers below. He fell again but this time, he couldn't stand up. The pain was unbearable as his metal was already showing on his back.
"Logan! Time is about to be broken. Our reality is already being separated!" Charles shouted in his head
Logan screamed and crawled his way up to Jean. His skin started to fade away as his regeneration was starting to fall behind the pain he was feeling. Finally Logan got up to Jean's feet and held her waist. He grabbed it tight as he tried so hard to pull himself up.
"Logan! Logan! Logan! You are killing yourself!" Charles said in his head
Past memories started to hit Logan like a truck. Now he could remember everything in his past. He saw himself sitting on his chair with Thomas Logan to his side as yet had a nice little chat. Victor teaching him how to stand up to himself.
Now Logan was the same level with Jean. He placed both of his hands on her head as Charles started to take over his mind and stop this madness. After a few moments, the Phoenix dissapeared as he and Jean fell to the ground. Logan breathed heavily as he was still regenerating slowly from all the pain he went through.
"What happened?" Jean said, breathing heavily
Logan looked into the sky and sighed. "We did it Professor. We actually did it."
