Ceremony Room:
Logan swallowed a growl deep in his throat and quickly decided that it woulf be better to go for the Kings head.
"How heroic. Romeo come to save Juliet" The King began to circle him and Logan kept his gaurd
"Cut the chit chat shit head---"
The King shrugged "What a beautiful story of Juliet and her Romeo.....tragic how it ends."
"This aint no play Logan growled and pushed forward swinging his sharp claws. The King ducked the attack and moved past Logan.
"Do you honestly think Wolf boy that Ororo would want you? You can't even remember your past let alone give her a future" The remark seemed to hit Logan like a blow to the head....that thought Hadn't really been an issue until now.
"I believe in the old code Logan" The King stood upright "So choose your weapon" he held his fist out abd a silver sword sprouted from his hand. Logan didn't flinch "Thanks" his claws presented themselves "I brought my own". Shadow King gave a throaty laugh
"Then let the games begin"
Queen's Quarters:
It was the Law was that when an disturbance within the empire was wittnessed that one was required to report it to Leaf the head gaurd. Tacar's dead body was disturbance enough, but Presha wasn't quite ready to report it yet. She had come to the Queens quarters to countinue their talk only to find a whole in the wall and Tacars dead body through all the mess. The Queen had escaped. Presha was both happy and sad all in one moment....She had wanted the Queen to be free...and she had wanted to ensure her safety, but who know's what might have happened to her between her bedroom and the out side world. Presha needed to be sure. Grabbing the pole near Tacar's body she turned toward the Ceremony room only to be held back. Presha gasped and fell to the floor looking to Tacar's ugly hand around her ankle.
EAST of Ceremony Room:
Storm could feel the anger at the pit of her stomach, and her power countinued to grow. Scott frowned looking to her
"Storm. Are you alright your sweating bullets" Storm took deep breaths "I'm fine" she said her voice heated. She needed to get to Logan before he got hurt...loosing him was not an option...she loved him and that was all that mattered. No thick necked bastard was going to change that. "We should go this way" she pointed to a long hall and they quickly made their way.
Ceremony Room:
Logan slammed his fist against The Kings face leaving behind three scarrs just over his right eye. The King howled
"You'll pay for that half breed" he dropped his sword. Logan's lip tightened
"Yeah with your life bub" Logan was on him again in the next instant. They both exchanged equal blows the Kings large frame slamming against the floor in pain, Logan spitting blood from his mouth and his heart racing. The King got to his feet putting his arms up to counter Logan's attack. Like two bulls they locked into one another.Tension flared at the look in thier eyes..... pure hate.
"Logan!" the sound of Storm's voice jaded his defense and thehKing wrapped his hands around Logans neck pulling him off of his feet. Logan struggled to breath as his claws retracted themselves.
"Thomas leave him alone!" Ororo screemed at the top of her lungs. The King smiled madly
"Is this what you want my love. Some worthless little shit whose only joy is found in your bed" Logan's face redened even more
"Fuck you" he managed still desperate for air. Scott stand with his hand on his visor ready to shoot.
"I wouldn't do that my little one eyed friend...my power source is within the empire...If I die this place will come down around all your heads" he tightened his grip on Logan's throat.
"Stop it! You'll kill him!" Storm moved closer.
"That's the idea sweetness". Just then two gaurd appeared behind them and the slammed the butt of the rifles into the back of Scott and Storms head. Scott fell to the ground unconsious, but Storm only groaned in pain as she fell to the floor craddling the back of her head. "Idiots!" The King dropped Logan to the floor where he countinued to gasp for air. He moved his large frame toward Ororo. The King punched the gaurd that had hit Ororo and sent him away. Ororo closed her eyes against the blinding pain behind her eyes and felt larg arms wrapping around her as she was being pulled to her feet.
"Forgive them my love, they are ignorant fools to touch you" Ororo leaned against Thomas' chest and took a deep breath knowing the chance she had to take
"I wanted to help you" she said softly...."You wouldn't let me" She looked into his eyes "Let them go" she said.
"As you wish" his voice was as smooth as it was the first day she had met him and she remembered that there were some good qualities in this man that she once loved......but he was still evil. His lips fell to her's and she did not deny him the thrill of holding her for the last time. their bodies began to elevate from the floor and the embrace taken air born from Storm's festering power. Lighting flashed inside his eyes and around the room. Clouds seemed to drift to their mother as she called them and swirl around their blurred bodies above a golden platform. The KISS deepened flooding Ororo with all the memries she wanted to forget. Logan looked on as he regained control and wasn't quit sure of how he felt about what he saw. The room began to shake. Ororo leaned away from her former lover tears filling her eyes
"I loved you"
was all she said before placing her palm against his chest. Electricity sketched the outline of her hand....The King did not resist her dominance. Storm summoned a sudden shock wave that shook the entire room. The king was pushed back his body flying across the room and landing against a statue...The bulls horn on the pillar like statue peeked through his chest...blood spreading around it...his heart stopped. Ororo began to fall weak from her attack. Yet Logan was there to catch her. She leaned against him wanting this all to just be one big dream...a nightmare. He held her for a moment
"You alright?" Storm licked her chapped lips
"I LOVE you" Logan gave a light smile "I love you too kid"
Scott came too at the roar of crummbling bricks and looked to his friends
"Hey guys can we do this a little later...you know when the building isn't falling apart!" Logan craddled Storm in his arms as they ran from the falling dust and stones. They reached the main hall the lead to other ajoining halls...no place to turn.
"This fucking place is like a tomb" Logan growled.
"Well we've gotta choose and its gotta be now" Scott said looking through the long halls. Storm took a deep breath
"Presha!" she whispered. Her intention had been to save the girl...she couldn't leave without her...
"We have to save her!" Storm got to her feet staggering a little. Logan and Scott said in unison "Save who?!"
