Revelations Ch. 9
By Eliad Sholomovich

UNDERGROUND CAVERN IN MEXICO

Apolcalypse sat on his throne. He yelled two names "Plague, Famine!!!" Two knights in black armor came to the room and bowed.Apocalypse looked at a screen and then turned to them."Get ready tomorrow we strike" They put their right fist on their chest "Yes lord Apocalypse" they answered.

Apocalypse started laughing as soon as they left. "Soon I shall get two more nights to recreate my four knight of destruction. All I need is to wait for tomorrow."

Apocalypse looked at the viewscreen. On it he saw a taping of Evil Ryu's talk with Wolverine and Cyclops a few days before.

AKUMA AND E.RYU'S CAVE ISLE NEAR JAPAN

E.Ryu was packing his bag. "Partner Come we must leave for The US" Akuma looked at him with a confused look "And How are we going to do that?" E.Ryu grinned "And led him out of the cave. Outside was one of Shadowlaw's Vtol planes.

Akuma looked impressed "I've underestimated you, I do apologize. E.Ryu waved his hand "It matters not lets go" They both entered the plane. "Can you pilot this?" Akuma asked. Evil Ryu shook his head.

"But are old friend here can" E.Ryu said smiling Akuma raised a brow "Old friend". Out of the shadows stepped a tall man in red military uniform. Akuma coughed "Bison, How is it possible"

Bison smirked "As long as my psyhco drive is operational I'm immortal. I can't wait to see the expression on Ryu's face when he sees me" Akuma shaked his hand "Glad you're back Partner. We must catch up on old times"

Bison and Akuma entered the cockpit while E.Ryu remained in the little passenger room. Bison sat in the pilots seat and Akuma in a seat next to him. "I don't trust E.Ryu" Bison said. Akuma nodded "True He is too secretive.He is probaly planning to double-cross us". Bison nodded in approval at the statement.

Akuma smiled "Once Ryu is destroyed we'll take care of the other Ryu" Bison smiled "After all since we failed to destroy Shadowbane were bound by blood" Akuma nodded "To victory" he said and raised his fist. Bison copied the gesture and phrase.

MEANWHILE INTERPOL'S BASE OF JAPAN

Chunli was sitting in her new boss's office. Beside her were Mariko and Mel. Her boss was named Lau and was a tall middle-aged man with short silver hair. He had a dark complexion.

"How may I help you Miss Xiang?" He asked her polietly.Chunli decided only to ask on the symbol. To explain the situation would only cost precious time.

She took out the X symbol and showed it to her boss. He examined the symbol. "I'm surprised you don't recognize the symbol of the Uncanny X-men Miss Xiang. They have been on the new alot lately"

Chunli slapped her forehead "I knew that symbol was familiar" She thought.She thanked him for his time and left with Mariko and Mel. When they left the office Mariko asked Chun li "Who are the X-Men Chunli?"

Chun li turned to her "They are a group of powerful mutants that vowed to protect mankind against any threat to prove mutants and humans can live in harmony."

Mel raised a brow "If the're the good guys. Why'd they kidnap Ryu?". Chunli shrugged "We'll have to ask them when we get to the U.S in two days" Mel and Mariko nodded.

THE NEXT DAY AT 1300

XAVIER MANSION USA

Ryu was led to the entrance of the mansion. A huge Vtol Ship was on the grass. Ryu looked at it in disbelief "No it can't be" he whispered to himself.

The ships hatch opened and came E.Ryu. Ryu narrowed his eyes "I knew you wouldn't have the courage to fight me Demon" Ryu said angrily E.Ryu smirked "Why bother fighting I know you're better".

MEANWHILE IN THE AIR ABOVE THE MANSION

Two flying robotic horses were heading towards the mansion. Each of their riders was clad in full black armor and face covering helmet. One had a brown metoer painted on his chest and was 7 feet tall. The other a blue wave. and was 6'2.

"Mi'lord were approaching the target" The taller one spoke into a viewscreen on his robotic horse. The screen showed the face of a normal man. "Excellent when I show my true form begin the attack"

The two nodded.

BACK ON THE GROUND

E.Ryu told them to let Ryu go. Ryu entered stance and prepared himself. Suddenly Akuma and Bison left the plane to everyones surprise. The X-Men saw Akuma and his similarity to E.Ryu.

Wolverine unseathed his claws and growled "You lied to us" E.Ryu smirked "Yes I did and you were the perfect little pawns. The X-Men were about to attack when a man entered the mansion.

"How nice the're here for me to take. Everyone turned to the man. Jean paled "Apocalypse" She whispered in horror. The X-men heard the name got ready. Ryu and the villians didn't understand who stood before them.

His eyes turned red "Come with me peacefully and you won't be hurt" Apocalypse said in his booming voice. Akuma and Bison laughed "Ryu is ours. If you want him. Come get him" Wolverine whispered to his friends "Big mistake"

Apocalypse narrowed his brows. His eyes burned in red. Then hunched over. His skin ripped off revealing his true form. "Foolish Humans you dare challange the mighty Apocalypse"

Ryu raised a brow and so did E.Ryu. Akuma and Bison looked unimpressed. Then blue and brown lasers hit the ground next to them. everyone hit the ground to avoid the lasers and The two knights jumped of their steeds.

Apocalypse laughed "Let me introduce you to my new minions.Famine and Plague." The X-men got ready.

Apocalypse grinned "Without Cyclop and Storm you don't stand a chance.Surrender now and I'll delay your destruction" Akuma and Bison also got ready and approached.

E.Ryu went with them. "Together We can beat even you Apocalypse" Iceman said. Apocalypse rubbed his hands "Foolish mortals I'll enjoy tearing you apart".

Meanwhile Ryu was confused so many of his foes new and old in one place. "Who should I help?" He asked himself. He entered stance and looked at Apocalypse.

"If my new and old foes fear him that means he is a greater threat. I'll have to take care of the others later."

They all stood before Apocalypse and his knights. Apocalypse looked at his wrist "Well look at the time I'm expecting company."

A moment later two flying figures landed near Apocalypse.One was tall and in red and purple clothing and helmet with a long purple cloak. He was the strongest mutant in the world Magneto.

Beside him stood his second in command Exodus in a black red and white armor.Magneto spoke "Remember our deal, When this is over you help us with your technolegy to rebuild Avalon"

Apocalypse nodded "Ofcourse Magneto I wouldn't dream to betray you" Magneto nodded and pinkish-red energy surround his hands and body. "Atleast not yet" Apocalypse thought to himself

The X-men gulped things were looking grim. E.Ryu channeled his Chi and Shot a Gou Hadouken at Apocalypse the hit pushed him back but didn't seem to harm him. E.Ryu shouted "Shut up and fight D*mn you"

And then it begun.
