Marvel: It Ain't Easy Being A Mutant - X-Men Male Reader Insert

Hail to the queen

After an indeterminate amount of time, the signal was given, and the X-Men answered the call

It was time to put an end to this before it could even begin

Soon, you all gathered before N'astirh, who true to his word, ensured your safety until the time was up

N'astirh: The time has come, Darkchylde. I do my part, now do yours

Illyana: Do it

The demon raised his arms and energy surrounded you all, and in a flash of light, you were gone

N'astirh: And so it begins...

With that done, the demon turned to walk away, with his hands behind his back

His precognitive magick had already shown him the result of this fight. Illyana would claim her throne and weapon back, but by staining her mighty Soulsword with the pretender's blood, she would fully become the Darkchylde

The very same being that would create a rift and lead an invasion of its own, an invasion that Nastirh could control with no opposition

Whether or not this future would come to pass, however, was entirely up to Illyana

___________

The portal left you outside the gates of what was once Illyana's castle. Logan's senses immediately alerted him of the danger, but when he looked around, he discovered that there was no real danger at all

All over the stone room demons lied on the ground, too drunk to even move. It was debatable whether or not some were even alive, but you knew better than to test it

Reaching a mutual understanding, you snuck your way around the room without a word. Didn't mean you couldn't hold a telepathic conversation, however

Elizabeth: "Is that why there was a signal? So they'd be too drunk to attack?"

You: "Can't say it wasn't clever"

Piotr: "What are they even celebrating?"

Illyana: "If I had to guess, it would be my defeat"

Logan: "Too bad we came to cut the celebrations short"

Finally, you reached the doors and quickly made your way inside. Piotr broke a large piece of stone and used it to block the doors behind you

???: What in the--?

You quickly turned around to see that even if you had avoided the first wave of demons, there was another very much sober inside the castle, and they were all looking at you

One quickly drew his sword and yelled:

???: Get the muties!

Elizabeth: Really? Even here?

But Illyana didn't care and instead raised the katana she had borrowed

Illyana: Show no mercy!

And just like that, the X-Men clashed against the hordes of Limbo once again, in what would be the battle to define the new direction of this dimension

But their time in Limbo had served the mutants greatly. They knew that if they were to be victorious over such an enemy, they had to be just as ferocious if not more

Which for Wolverine, in particular, was a blessing

He roared like an animal as he dug his claws into a monster and tore it in half. An arrow hit his shoulder, but unlike last time, he allowed it to pull him back, only to use the momentum against the arched and stab him through the head
