Micro Adventures in the AoA!
Previously, in A Micro Adventure:
: "Now be Gambit's big moment, I gar-on-tee! Now you gon' pay for everyt'ing you ain't done yet, Magneto!"
: "You absolute retard, you missed!"
: "My God! I have been shot!"
: "He's....dead."
: "My time is now! The Age of Apocalypse begins anew!"
: "Aw crap, not again! Gambit, if we ever get out of this alive, you realise I'm gonna kill you anyway, right?"
: "Yeah, Gambit, he figured dat."
*back in the present*
: "Hoo-ha! I'm the good guy again!"
: "Gambit swear, he never see dis comin', I gar-on-tee."
: "Screw 'if we ever get out of this alive', I'm gonna kill you right here and now."
------------
And now....Micro Adventures in the AoA!
: "The reign of Apocalypse must end, tonight!"
: "This time, this whole world should not be! Gambit here screwed up the timeline, you have to help me fix it!"
: "It not Gambit's fault, anyone could have made dat mistake, I gar-on-tee."
: "So...you're asking us to erase our own existence?"
: "Traitor scum! I arrest you all in the name of Lord Apocalypse!"
: "You and what army, bub?"
: "This one, you freakin' freak!"
: "You had to ask, didn't you, Logan?"
: "Wait. Cyclops is de bad guy? Gambit, his head hurt."
: "Exiles are go!"
: "Now Holocaust shall have his own title!"
: "OK, who see dat coming?"
: "Me. I'm from the future, yo?"
: "X-Men...uh...run away!"
: "Can we trust these two madmen? How do we know they aren't just agents of Apocalypse?"
: "The Big A has some standards. It's easier to believe they really are from another reality."
: "So why should we
give up everything we have here, and fight to restore another world for
y'all? Ah could lose mah son, and mah husband!"
: "Gambit, he not goin' t'let you his Roguey be married to Magneto, I gar-on-tee!"
: "I can promise you all a better world."
: "A world where Apocalypse doesn't rule?"
: "A world where millions haven't been slaughtered in his name?"
: "A world where my one true love is still attached to my arm?"
: "Better than that.
I can promise you all a world where nothing ever changes. Where no-one
ever stays dead. Where the long-term consequences of your actions
rarely matter, and events keep repeating themselves."
: "So what's the catch?"
: "You, Magneto an' Sabretooth not
be X-Men no more, and Gambit, he gon' get back to puttin' you all in
hospital again, I gar-on-tee."
: "Is he serious?"
: "Well, apart from him ever actually beating Magneto or Exodus, yeah."
: "Wait, I get to lose to the chump? Screw saving that reality."
: "Tell us more about this world, Bishop."
*hours later*
: "You want me to fight for a world where I'm the Antichrist?"
: "...where I'm dead?"
: "....where I'm dressed like a catfish?"
: "...where I never appear anywhere anymore?"
: "...where I'm dating Gambit? And my son doesn't exist?"
: "...where I lived in another dimension with a guy with a mullet and leather pants?"
: "...where I'm with Logan instead of Quicksilver? And every time I get tattoos, they never last?"
: "Magneto, if I didn't worship the ground you walk on, I'd tell you this is the Worst Idea Ever, and refuse to support it."
: "But since you do, you're never actually going to say that, right?"
: "Except that he just did."
: "So none of you are going for the plan, then?"
: "Doesn't look like it. Can't say I really want to hand Rogue over to your friend, just to be rid of Apocalypse."
: "Hey, Gambit, he not ever cheat on his Roguey. Unless we on a break, or Gambit be in a different time zone, chere."
: "That's so reassuring. Please don't let him near me."
: "I know! We'll get Colossus to help us!"
: "Colossus want save little sister!"
: "Your obsession with her is starting to worry me."
: "Yes, why was
I the one made into a creepy incestuous freak in the Ultimate books,
when you offered so much more for them to work with?"
: "Da! Colossus love little girls! Colossus help Gambit and Bishop save little sister!"
: "Are you even going to notice when I tell you I'm leaving you?"
: "Mr Bishop, please take me to a world where the Sugar Man will protect me from my brother."
: "You mean where yo' brother can protect you from de Sugar Man, chere?"
: "...no."
: "It's a world where you're dead. That protection enough?"
: "Dead?!!? Colossus not help you do this! No before Colossus can..."
: "Colossus....dead!"
: "Finally, Gambit, you do something useful. Now let's go save history!"
: "Gambit been waitin' all day to kill Colossus. Now dis time, we gon' get it right, an' kill Magneto, I gar-on-tee!"
-----------------
*20 years ago. Again*
: "Look, there they are! We have to act before our past selves can!"
: "Don't worry chere, Gambit always keep goin' until he get it right!"
: "That's not what Rogue tells me."
: "I can't believe it actually worked this time."
: "I...am dying! Charles, my only friend...live my dream for me!"
: "I cannot refuse your dying request!"
: "And our work here is done, I gar-on-tee. Let's go back to de present, chere."
-------------------------
*back in the AoA*
: "Now, a suicide mission to bring down Apocalypse, there's a mission I can support!"
: "You realise we're all going to die, right?"
: "Keep fighting! We have to stop Apocalypse before Gambit and Bishop re-write our timeline, and none of this matters anymore!"
: "None of you are fit to survive the Age of Apocalypse! Obliterate them, my Horsemen!"
: "X-Men...welcome to die!"
: "Erik, if they re-write history, we'll be enemies!"
: "Maybe I'll be able to fix you up with my younger clone or something?"
: "And Pietro, we'll barely even know each other."
: "At least I'll be going back to a wife and daughter I sometimes see. You'll be going back to Logan. Heh."
: "Now that's just mean."
: "At least you'll still know each other, I won't even have ever met Exodus."
: "...damn them all to H*ll! At least try not to date any guys with mullets."
: "I'd be rid of Logan? Why didn't I help Gambit and Bishop?"
:
"SILENCE! Apocalypse shall strike you all down, with one mighty blow from his BIG ARM of Apocalypse!"
: "Do you have to talk about yourself in the third-person?"
: "Indulge me, I'm winning."
: "I...still...stand! And with my mystery tag-team partner at my side, you shall fall!"
: "Hey yo!"
: "Holocaust! To my side! The final battle begins!"
: "Drop da bomb! Join the navy!"
: "Duck and cover, he's got a bomb!"
: "Do your worst, man-animal! I shall survive everything!"
: "Game over, man! Game over!"
*The bombs go off*
: "Ha! Apocalypse survives! ..........anyone left? Anyone? Holocaust? Magneto? Cable-Boy? Anyone?"
-------------------------
: "Back to the present, at last!"
: "Everything looks normal so far. Look, there are the X-Men, just like we remember them."
: "Gambit, Bishop, welcome back. Welcome to H*ll."
: "Now is the Age of Onslaught! No-one is safe!"
: "Gambit, I'm gonna kill you."
: "What, like Gambit knew dis would happen, chere?"
