Title: THE FIRST MUTANT
Pt-1<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
5000 B.C.
EGYPT, many believed it was the birthplace of creation, where Adam and Eve once dwelled as the first humans created by god. The world was a different place back then. There were no countries, no dictatorship, no rulers, no laws, no justice, no supermarkets, no planes, no automobiles, no mass transit, no satellite TV, no fast food franchise, and no Internet. It was a time where life was harsh and the lands were brutal, where children learned their way early in life, where the strong survived and the weak were eaten alive.
From the offspring of The First Created, humans began to branch out through the world, discovering new lands with a bounty of riches. From there a civilization was born, and a kingdom erected. For a young teenager looking to make a name for himself, En Sabah Nur enlisted for his nation's military by combating against the best of the best. HE proved to be faster, stronger, quicker, more agile, and possess more stamina than any other warrior in command. It was believed that En Sabah Nur was the very first mutant, his abilities making him the greatest hunter/warrior to ever live.
En Sabah Nur was inducted into the military, helping his people to conquer more land as they began to spread out across the continent. HE quickly became the HEAD of the military, his quick healing/regenerative powers making it virtually impossible to kill him in battle. Eventually HE took over the kingdom, after killing his king and taking his crown. For the next 10 generations, HE ruled his people with an iron hand, taking on over a 100 wives which he sent many hours impregnating with his offspring. With unnatural long life, most of En Sabah Nur's people feared him as much as they revered him, many believing him more creature than human.
It was during one of En Sabah Nur's long personal journeys though the No Lands [where HE liked to push the limits of his abilities by venturing forth where no man had ever been before, into undiscovered country], that he came across a ship made of steel.
Armed with only his sword and shield, HE braved aboard the strange vessel to discover an alien race of 9 foot tall humanoids [2 arms, 2 legs, body and head] that quickly nabbed him with their heightened powers of mind control, and began preforming experiments on the backwater savage.
En Sabah Nur was subjected to various tests and procedures, needles, anal probes, injections, extractions, and more. His blood, skin, and DNA samples were taken and analyzed by the beings, his anatomy examined inside and out. Probes invaded his body through every opening and orifice. His mind was raped and plundered [psychically] for information of his people and his land. Once they were done analyzing him, they placed his body in stasis for further testing, as no human had ever survived their probing before.
En Sabah Nur was lying in suspended animation [his thoughts being monitored at all times through machines], when he suddenly found himself being brutally violated anally by one of the Beings. The humanoid closely resembled human beings, with the exception of their large black eyes, deformed craniums [giving them higher intelligence], and grayish skin color. En Sabah Nur felt the creature's huge long fat appendage sliding in and out of him, stretching his violated anus abnormally wide as it stabbed over 18 inches deep inside him. En Sabah Nur awakened to horrible pain shooting through his body as his eyes opened and adjusted. He found himself still hovering in an incubator module, his legs held up and open by one of the Alien Humanoids, it's `penis' destroying his rectal passage as it roughly [forcibly] slid in and out of him. Fortunately [or unfortunately] En Sabah Nur's mutant healing abilities kept him alive throughout his rape and probes, his body instantly repairing itself after the damage was done. His healing powers kept his rectum intact when it should have been ripped to shreds, keeping the anus tight for the creature that fucked it as hard and deep as his powerful alien body would allow. En Sabah Nur felt the enormous alien phallus slamming into him deeply, butchering every vital organ and ripping through the walls of his intestines with every frightful thrust.
En Sabah Nur had no idea how long he had been enduring the pain while in stasis, but he could tell by the intensity of the Being's facial expressions and quickened fuck pace, that it was getting dangerously close to climax. En Sabah Nur felt the creature's cock expand inside him [the tentacle like appendage] thickened in size before secreting a seminal like fluid from its glands. Instead of semen shooting from the tip [like humans], it oozed out from the entire length as tiny pores opened to allow discharge. En Sabah Nur's insides quickly became saturated with the Being's reproductive fluids. Once climax was complete, the softening tentacle fell limply from En Sabah Nur's anus, as a flood of alien semen and blood gushed from the ruined/gaping orifice. The Being pulled En Sabah Nur from the module, then roughly threw him to the steel floor face down. When it noticed the human's anus magically repairing itself [taking on its normal tight tiny shape], the angry Being jumped down on top of him and re-rammed its [once again] hard phallus back up the human's ass.
En Sabah Nur felt his asshole being ripped to shreds once again, and decided to fight back instead. This time free from stasis, he had movement as he struggled to get from under the 9 foot tall goliath.
The Creature was very strong as it fought to keep the human captive for another fucking. But En Sabah Nur was a warrior with nothing to lose. He managed to reach back overhead and poke the Alien in the eye. As the Being fell back in defense [its cock withdrawing from the human's bleeding rectum], En Sabah Nur quickly got into fighting mode with his speed, strength, and agility, climbing atop his opponent to wrench his forearms around the Creature's thick neck. When it tried to take over and seize his mind, the warrior began punching the Being in the head, battering its cranium and causing it several brain damage. The Creature fell to the steel floor, dead.
En Sabah Nur ventured further through the strange construct of the ship, finding more Beings which he was quickly able to kill with several blows to their soft craniums. However, unable to find the exit, he remained trapped on his craft with the rotting corpses. It was then that HE ventured into the Aliens' hibernation chamber. After lying down in one of the Chambers, his body was bonded and assimilated with the technology, his mutant healing powers acting as a conduct as he and the machines merged. En Sabah Nur ceased to exist at that point, giving birth to what would later be known as APOCALYPSE!
Now with the alien technology properly bonded to his body, Apocalypse opened the exit doors and escaped his confines. Returning to his land, his people were frightened by his new appearance. Apocalypse had taken on much of the look of his captors: growing up to 9 feet tall with grayish toned skin and no body hair whatsoever. When Apocalypse began to speak of where he'd been and what he saw [as well as his plans to take his people BACK to the alien ship and have them ALL assimilate with the machines so that they all would become like him], the people began to revoke, demanding the death of their king.
The People fought valiantly, many giving their lives to stop the madman from destroying the race. But Apocalypse proved indestructible, his already formidable mutant abilities heightened with alien technology, the merging allowing him total control over his body's molecules, enabling him to transform any body part into any weapon of choice. While battling his once loyal warriors, he transformed his arms into swords, slicing down his army effortlessly while his body healed itself from what was sure to be fatal stab wounds.
With Apocalypse undefeated, a call went out to the four corners of the earth, calling in any special powered beings willing to oppose the dictator. The TWELVE was formed, mutant descendants of En Sabah Nur, each with formidable powers of their own: earth, air, water, fire, nature, healing, magic, mystics, mind, body, soul, and heart.
The TWELVE [along with other armies] where able to drive Apocalypse back into the construct which made him, imprisoning him in the hibernation chamber and burying the craft under tons of earth. Monuments were erected to commemorate his defeat, warning others of his existence and discouraging exploration of his remains.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2500 B.C.
As time passed on, much was forgotten of the man who was once king and became a god. As Egypt grew around the site where the [Sphinx] monument stood, the Pyramids were built in conjunction to the celestial readings of the stars. While this arrangement would baffle the minds of scientists and astrologers for many centuries to come, it was all fore planned by a Being far surpassing human comprehension.
Apocalypse knew his technology was far too advanced for civilization at that time, and surmised a plan to hibernate until a time where mankind's technology caught up with his own...
Pt-2<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
EGYPT, AFRICA today...
For decades scientists and scholars worldwide have been excavating parts of ancient Egypt, trying to figure out exactly WHO [or WHAT] built the infamous pyramids, and what significance it has on the meaning of life and mankind's evolution?
They bicker over when the pyramids were built and by whom. Some believe they were created as a tomb for the fourth dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu [built over a 20 year span for him and his wives], while others [a growing number of which] believe they were created by extraterrestrials, --aliens. They base their facts on the sheer size of the stone blocks used to form the pyramids, arguing that even with current day technology and engineering we would be hard pressed to move such stones, especially with the precise degree and alignment of which the great pyramids were built. They also argue the laser sharp precision with which the large stones were cut, knowing modern technology would have trouble replicating it.
While no one knows for certain which theories and speculations are correct, those in attendance of Giza [the city closest to The Ancient Pyramids], find a sight to behold when out of the skies [from Magneto's orbiting Asteroid-M] comes a large metallic sphere, barreling to the earth with meteorite like force, smashing into the sands with enough impact to shatter the glass from every manmade building within a 2 mile radius.
Traffic comes to a halt as people regain their wits, then begin to investigate the strange sphere that invaded them. Some believe it the foretold coming of the extraterrestrials that built the ancient civilization, returning to reclaim their lost land.
Police and rescue quickly guard off the site, keeping curious onlookers at bay as authorities try to figure out what's happening. After nearly 10 minutes with no activity coming from the sphere, someone [an officer] daringly walked up to the construct and reached out with his hand...
Everyone watched with fear/amazement/awe/bated-breath as the officer touched the metallic construct, then was physically repelled several hundred feet through the air with electricity which suddenly emitted from the giant sphere like discharge from a light bulb. Police and special command forces opened fired on the sphere, causing a panic as civilians ran for cover, stampeding their way to safety through the streets of downtown Giza.
Bullets bounced off the metal sphere, causing no damage to the outer surface. However, a small opening began to form near the center base, growing larger and larger as police ceased firing and waited to see WHAT emerged from the alien craft...?
"What IS it...?!" began the mummer of the spectators, their voices raising in wonder as a lone man began to emerge from the center of the sphere, hovering above ground as if floating on air...
"It's APOCALYPSE!" yelled one man, capturing the attention of the `floating alien'...
"Bring THAT man to ME...!" said Magneto, pointing out the query as Magneto's forces [The Brotherhood] emerged from the sphere, jumping by him like animals set free from a cage...
Police re-opened fire in defense as The Brotherhood descended. TOAD leaped out into the center of the crowd, drop-kicking and punching anything in sight, using his formidable [frog like] abilities to clobber the opposition. VERTIGO danced her way from the sphere, twisting and turning her body to and fro, causing nausea and disorientation to anyone within her vicinity. JUGGERNAUT jumped from the sphere, then ran nonstop towards the crowd, gaining momentum, he barreled his way through the crowd, smashing everything in his path from police vehicles to people. AVAILANCHE focused his mutant powers on the ground, sending seismic shockwaves through the earth as ground literally began to rumble and quake. PYRO stepped forth, using the flamethrowers attached to his costume to create an intense Sun. Anyone within 100 feet of the flame was instantly blinded and singed, boils breaking out on those closest to the heat's intensity. BLOB made quick work of the opposition when they tried to defend themselves, slapping most of them into next week with just a swipe of his hand. And MIMIC dove forth with the power of Storm, leaching off The X-Man's elemental abilities to cause severe windstorms, hail, lightning, and mini tornados.
As the crowds disbursed [fleeing for their lives], MYSTIQUE singled out the man Magneto wanted, chasing him down like a human bloodhound until she cornered him. When the man realized he was being pursued, he pulled a pocketknife from his person and began to defend himself, Mystique made quick work of him by easily evading his erratic lunges and pulverizing him with her formidable knowledge of hand to hand combat.
Magneto ascended from the air as the man was thrown at his feet...
"YOU..." said Magnus, picking the man up by the collar, staring him directly in the eye... "...what do you KNOW of Apocalypse...?"
"I...I know nothing..." choked the man, barely able to breathe. An angry Magneto reached out with his free hand, then summoned the small bullet fragments from the police officers' earlier discharges, causing the tiny mental fragments to pop up from the sands, then shoot into the man's vulnerable legs... "AARRRRHHHHHHH...!!!" screamed the man as the bullets pierced his flesh as sure as if they had been fired from a gun. "I will not ask again..." warned Magneto, "...the next bullets will pierce your spine, then your heart, then your skull..."
Mystique smirked, attracted fiercely to Magneto's ruthless cunning...
"He...he is...but a myth..." cried the man, in serious pain. "Apocalypse was believed to be the greatest warrior to ever live..., some believed he had special gifts from the gods, making him super human!"
"The FIRST mutant...!" said Magneto, glancing at Mystique.
"It was later said he was abducted by an alien race, and transformed into something ten times worse than before...!"
"WHAT...?" asked Magneto, curiously. "WHAT was he transformed into...?!" he demanded to know, shaking the truth from the bleeding man...
"Something so hideous and horrible, that his people turned against him, imprisoning him in an underground tomb for 5000 years...! It is believed that when The TWELVE descendants of Apocalypse are reunited, that he will rise again and take ownership of the land he was denied!" screamed the man, telling everything he knew. "But it is all just superstition and rumor..." added the man, "...none of it is real...!"
"Can you IMAGINE..." said Magneto, casting the man aside like used garbage. "...all of that raw untapped power, lying in a sarcophagus somewhere underground..., just WAITING to be tapped into!"
"And how do you know this THING exists..." asked Mystique, believing Magneto a little crazy and self-absorbed. She doubted anything would come of his latest scheme at world dominance, but she toyed with the idea of becoming his predecessor should he somehow perish during his quest? "...because of the ramblings of some superstitious local...?!"
"Not exactly..." said Magneto, summoning the smaller Spheres containing the bodies of the abducted. "...I have the WORD of the mutant Scribe..., a servant of The London Based Hell's Fire Club...! HE has, --among other abilities, the power to retain everything he's ever learned, making him the perfect roadmap for finding Apocalypse...!" informed Magneto, releasing Scribe from his prison...
The pale white man [dressed in all white: white shirt, slacks, vest, trench, and long flowing white hair] fell to the sands face first, slowly lifting himself [and his dignity] from the hot desert... "Tell me, Scribe..., what do I need to yield the power of Apocalypse...?!"
Scribe's pitch black eyes turned over white...
"You will need access to the TWELVE descendants of Apocalypse..." informed the mutant librarian, "...NATURE, EARTH, AIR, FIRE, WATER, MIND, BODY, SOUL, HEALING, MYSTIC/MAGIC, and the MAGNETIC/KENTIC pull of the planet connecting it all together...! Then, and only THEN will you be able to draw off that power, becoming as invincible as Apocalypse once was himself!"
"And WHERE are we to find the source of this power...?" asked Magneto, eager to have it in his grasp...
"There..." pointed Scribe, almost hypnotically. "...between the paws of The Ancient Sphinx will you find the DOORWAY leading into the Great Chamber...!" he added, before weakening and falling back into reality...
"Avalanche..., to my side...!" called Magneto.
Avalanche took a break from terrorizing the citizens of Giza [from causing several earthquakes to their magnificent city], to aid his commander... "Beneath the Sphinx, between its gigantic paws lies the entrance to the lower tomb of Apocalypse...! I need YOU to excavate the area quickly...!"
"Yes sir!" said Avalanche, rubbing his hands together [anxiously] before sticking them out before him. Concentrating, the ground began to quake and shift beneath his feet, the sands emptying into a giant cavern which began to open up underground.
Avalanche began to perspire as the task quickly became the biggest he ever attempted. He could feel himself growing lightheaded as blood began to trickle from his nose, sending his body into shock...
"I don't think he'll be able to hold out...!" doubted Mystique, sensing the boy's weakness as his knees began to buckle.
"He'll hold out..." assured Magneto, confidently. "...or DIE trying...!"
Suddenly the paws of The Sphinx gave way, revealing a staircase leading down into the lower chambers beneath its belly... "You DID it...!" praised Magneto, as Avalanche passed out from the strain. "Carry him inside...!" said the mutant leader, descending the large, steep, stone staircase to a large stone archway, protecting the entrance.
"Should I break it DOWN for you, boss...?" asked Juggernaut, ready to pound something hard...
"No..." answered Magneto, motioning the big lummox to stay back... "...it COULD cause the entire structure to cave in, losing what's hidden beneath it forever...!" he said, calling in Scribe to study the wall carefully.
Scribe came in and touched the great wall, closing his eyes as his fingertips seeped the knowledge from the ancient structure. Opening his eyes, he noticed a Wind Emblem carved within the bedrock of the wall...
"There..." he pointed at the symbol, showing Magneto. "...it is the doorway of one of the Twelve, the Wind Rider...!"
"Mimic..." called Magneto, bringing forth the mute mutant. "...use Storm's powers over the WIND to blow open this doorway...!" he insisted.
Mimic latched onto Storm's power signature once again, then conjured a wind tunnel, placing his hand upon the stone as the doorway suddenly [miraculously] began to slide open...
"It's working...!" shouted Toad, surprised.
The underground doors open to reveal a dark entrance...
"Pyro...!" called Magneto, as the master of the flame took the lead, using his hand as a torch to illuminate the way...
All of Egypt watched as Magneto and his gang of evil mutants disappeared down into the belly of the Sphinx, many hoping never to be seen again...

5621 miles away... THE XAVIER INSTITUTE FOR HIGHER LEARNING Salem Center, NY
The X-Men Mansion had recently been assaulted by an unmanned metallic sphere, which crash landed through 3 levels of the mansion, then took off for orbit with one of the X-Men [Storm] inside. Mountjoy [Professor-X] rushed to the sub-levels to Cerebro, to find and locate Storm's distinctive brainwave patterns, hoping to pinpoint her exact location. However Xavier quickly learned that Storm's brainwaves were to be found nowhere on the planet, leaving some of them to wonder if she had been killed...?
"PROFESSOR...!" yelled Hank McCoy [Beast], from The X-Men's `Ready Room', --which functions as their computer monitoring/war room.
Xavier and the others: [Forge, Polaris, Banshee, Angel, Bishop, and Dazzler] ran to the room where Beast was working the monitors... "Reports are coming in from all over the place about people being abducted by large metal Spheres...!" added McCoy, having a special link to The Avenger's computer in Manhattan. "Captain America's informed me that one infiltrated Avenger's Mansion and abducted The Scarlet Witch...!"
"Magneto's daughter...?" questioned Mountjoy/Xavier, thoughtfully. "Why would Erik kidnap his own daughter...? What about Pedro, --his son...?"
"Quicksilver was unharmed...!" informed Beast. "Of course, given this new turn of events; with Magneto possibly being behind Storm's and Wanda's abductions..., Cap's assures me that The Avengers are at our disposal...! They'll do whatever we deem necessary to HELP get The Scarlet Witch back...!"
"Yes...yes, of course Hank..., tell The Captain we'll keep them informed of anything we learn...!" assured Xavier.
"Charles..." called Polaris, "...I've been scanning waved reports from the media as well..., it seems a Sphere hit The Hell Fire Club in Manhattan as well...!"
"Call them..." said Xavier, "...let them know WE have suffered casualties as well, and if they have any information on who was taken or WHY, we would oblige...!"
"We'll do, Professor!" said Polaris, making the call.
"Did you get ahold of Wolverine and Scott...?" he asked curiously, turning to Forge.
"Yes..." answered Forge, "...Logan said they were on their way in...!"
"And were any OTHER students harmed in this incident...?" asked Xavier [while he was in The Cerebro Chamber]...
"No..." said Banshee, "...we checked in with them all..., so far only Storm, Jean, and Spirit were kidnapped...!"
"Why THEM...?" asked Xavier, wrecking his brain to come up with the answer.
"Smoke mentions to Calisto that Doc and Poison Ivy were also abducted from The Morlock's underground tunnels...!" added Angel [last chap].
"Professor..." called Polaris, hanging up from her phone call to The Hell Fire Club. "...it took some convincing..., but Sebastian Shaw confided in me that Mastermind was taken away by metallic Spheres which crashed through their Manhattan Club at about the same time Storm was being abducted...!"
"Storm, Jean, Spirit, Poison Ivy, DOC, the Scarlet Witch, and Mastermind..., WHY them specifically...?" asked Xavier, trying to make sense of it all? "WHAT is Magneto UP to...?!"
"Whuteva IT is...., it's WORLDWIDE...!" said Wolverine, showing up with Cyclops bringing up the rear. "I just gotta frantic call my Mariko Yashida...who said her cousin Shiro, --SUNFIRE, was also attacked by a metal Sphere which seemed impervious to his powers...!"
"That's EIGHT...!" said Xavier, counting off...
"What's it mean...?" asked Polaris, looking at computer generated profiles of those abducted and their locations...
"Check THIS out...!" said Beast, pulling up a global Internet connection to Egyptian TV, showing a LARGE metal Sphere sitting in the sands of The Egyptian Pyramids...
"Is THAT...?" questioned one of the X-Men...
"LOOKS like it...!" said Beast, knowing the question before it was asked. "One of Magneto's Spheres..., and by the looks of it, a rather LARGE one...!"
"Why is it in Egypt...?" asked Polaris.
"That's the 64,000 dollar question...!" said Forge. "BISHOP..., any ideas...?"
"None at all..." said Bishop, looking as mesmerized as everyone else...
Suddenly the X-Men saw the Egyptian police officer repelled by electrical discharge after an unprovoked attacked.
"Oh no..." sounded Beast as the police opened fire.
The X-Men watched in horror as the Sphere opened up, revealing Magneto and The Brotherhood inside, they watched helplessly as the citizens of Giza were slaughtered by evil mutants, leaving many dead or dying in their wake...
"We've GOT to get to Egypt!" said Xavier...
"I'm sending this feed directly to The Avenger's computer...!" informed Beast, typing in the key codes...
"Inform the New X-Men..." said Xavier, as they began preparing to take off in The Blackbird... "...the new graduating class is going on their
