Mission Rogue (X-men Evolution Fan-fic)

Part 3

The figure rubbed his head. I thought it was Mystique so I slowly began to crawl away. I saw the figure arise and then he did something that made me know it wasn't Mystique. He sniffed the air. He suddenly turned around and looked at me.

"Logan," I said with a sigh.

"Rogue?" he said in surprise.

He walked over to me and helped me to my feet. When I explained what was going on, he gritted his teeth.

"So that was Mystique!" Logan exclaimed. "Last night, Mystique came disguised as you. We all assumed that you had come back from your ride. But later, Mystique knocked us all out and hid us around the house."

Just then we heard clapping.

"Bravo," a voice said. "Looks like you finally joined the party, Rogue."

We turned and looked at the stairs. Standing there, was Mystique.

Logan started to walk towards Mystique, making his claws pop out of his hands. I put my arms in front of him to stop him. He looked at me for second, then retracted his claws. I turned to look at Mystique.

"Mystique," I said. "Stop this."

Mystique let out an evil laugh.

"Why should I?" she asked me, taking a step closer.

Logan and I backed away as she came closer to us. I knew we shouldn't fight unless she wanted to start the fight. The Professor taught us this.

"Xavier thought you all would have a relaxing vacation with no powers," she said. "Well, how do you plan on stopping me without your powers?"

I heard Logan grunt from behind me. Then, he stepped in front of me.

"Rogue," he said. "Get out of here. I'll deal with her with no powers."

I closed my eyes and teleported to the top of the cellar stair. Below me was darkness, but I could hear the two fighting. I suddenly heard the sound of something spraying and a grunt. I backed away from the stairs in shock. Had Logan been beaten? Had Mystique won the battle?

I back up to the front door, afraid for what had happened. I kept my eye on the cellar to see if Logan would come out. And he did indeed come out, just not in the way I wanted. Mystique had flung Logan up the cellar stair towards me and followed him up. Logan and I both flew through the front door and landed on the ground outside. I crawled to Logan to make sure he was okay, but he was knocked unconscious. I looked up and saw Mystique standing in the doorway.

"Do you plan on stopping me, Rogue?" she asked me. "With no powers."

"I'll do whatever it take to stop you, Mystique," I said, standing up. "With or without my powers."

I walked pass Logan and got ready to face Mystique. Mystique then turned herself into Logan. She lunged herself at me, but I was able to dodge her attack. Mystique turned, glared at me, and made claws just like Logan's pop out of her hands.

"What do you hope to accomplish by doing this?" I asked, backing away from Mystique.

Logan/Mystique tried to attack me again.

"I want my revenge on the X-men for every time they have beaten me," she said, lunging at me.

I tried to get out of her way, but found myself colliding with her. We flew through the wall of the house, crashing into the living room. As I fell onto the table, Mystique flipped above my head, and turned herself into Juggernaut. I had landed in the table so hard that it had broken into pieces, ripping my costume and cutting my arms and legs. As I struggled to get up, she grabbed a chair and lifted it above her head. Mystique then threw it at me just as I got to my feet. It hit me with such force that I was thrown back through the wall into the yard.

I got up to my feet slowly. There was a shooting pain going through my whole body but I tried not to show it. I looked straight at Juggernaut/Mystique and used the powers of Avalanche to cause a wave of rock and boulders to go straight towards her. She quickly morphed into herself and flipped on the roof of the house. She landed with grace and stood tall. She shape-shifted into Colossus, then jumped off the roof. He landed on the ground and ran towards me.

I tried to run out of the way, but the pain in my legs slowed me down. Mystique body slammed into me, causing me to sore over Logan and tumble many times. I tried to get up, but it was no use. I was too weak to do anything. I ended up collapsing on the ground as Mystique approached me once more. I watched her as she transformed back into herself and was now standing over me like a giant. She turned herself into the beastly creature Sabertooth and picked me up by the arms.
