Sinister stood still, letting the blade pierce him. He winced as he looked Josephine directly in the eyes, "Do it, my love," he said, his gaze unwavering, "I'd rather die by your hands then anyone elses."

Josephine suddenly looked confused and lept a few feet away, taking the blade with her, still looking confused she looked at Apocalypse who nodded and Josephine shook her head and glared at Sinister, though this time her eyes looked a little clearer as she slammed the hilt of her blade into Sinister's nose.

Sinister grunted and fell backwards, clutching his face. He shook it off, his face still looking pained, as he stood back up, "I knew it," he said, still trying to ignore the pain in his face, "You might not be able to think of it, but you can still feel what we had, Josephine. You know what we were, what we can still have."
Shrapnel struggled against the hold the cloaked man had on him. He looked to Sinister and shook his head as best he could, "Boss, don't do it, the girl's gone crazy!" His breath was stolen from his lungs, and he looked back to the man wrapped up in cloak.
He pulled his cape away, and tossed it into the dirt behind him, exposing brown hair, and blue eyes. The same blue eyes of the man who helped the Marauders defeat Onslaught not more than a few months ago.
Shrapnel looked at him, his eyes large and nose curled in confusion, "Rumble? What the hell?"
He shook his head, "New boss, new life. New name," he said with a chuckle, "Cyclonus," he declared, before, like his namesake, spinning Shrapnel around like a cyclone, and throwing him into the ceiling, shaking the stone foundations.

Josephine chuckled and buried the blade deep into Sinister's uninjured shoulder and twisted it around. She jumped back a few more feet and licked the blood off the edge of her blade a grinned even more.

Another cloaked figure emerged from the shadows, the hem of his cloak barely touching the floor and his feet not visible. The hood covered his face, only his mouth showing. A hand extended, outstretched towards Shrapnel, holding the man with his mind painfully.

Sinister let his arms go limp. Fighting the pain would only make it worse. He looked at Jo and his eyes began to tear up, "So it is done," he lamented, "Then it would seem what we had is the past. I'm sorry, but you've left me no choice."
He looked back to the door, and nodded forth his hired help.
Ravage charged through the door, and made a b-line for Apocalypse, his fists charging with kinetic energy, "Heard you took my pal Zeb," he yelled, "I'm not too keen on that!" He leapt into the air, and threw his fist against Apocalypse's face, the energy blasting out of his hand, with a resounding 'WHACK!'
Sideswipe followed him from the entryway, and stopped in front of Jo, "Hey sexy," he said with a grin, "How you doin' tonight, hm? Listen, drop the sword and come with me, eh?"
Shrapnel screamed as he fell to the ground, clutching his skull. He looked up, teeth gritting against one another, as he shook his head, "You too, Zeb," he cried, "Dammit... come on man, this is rediculous."

Spookily so, the boy grinned, his pearly white teeth showing beneath the hood. "Of course me too," He spoke in a soft, sultry voice, "Did you not notice I was gone?" His grin turned into a cold frown. "That's just pathetic."

"Josephine, make sure Sinister doesn't escape," Apocalypse said and Josephine nodded and suddenly teleported in front of Sinister and dug her blade into his stomach. She ignored the man that was speaking to her and held a hand up shooting lightening at the man before digging the blade into Sinister's stomach even more. She looked up at him the smirk on her face suddenly disappearing and a confused look appearing on her face again, and her eyes becoming a little more clearer. She shook her head a few times and looked into his eyes again still looking confused.

Sinister screamed in pain, echoing off the walls as he doubled over to his knees, clutching his stomach, "Fine. Then let this be it," he huffed through pained breaths, "Go ahead, Josephine, kill me. But let it be known that the last thing that goes through my mind is you..."
Shrapnel stood, fighting off the pain, and charged Zeb, "I noticed, pal," he said, taking a swipe at his ex-teammate, "Of course I noticed... But you do have a tendancy to go running off without letting us know as it is!"
Sideswipe charged towards Ravage's side, "Bigger they are," he asked him with a smirk.
Ravage looked at Apocalypse, his attack obviously having no effect, "The harder they hurt your knuckled when you punch them in the jaw," he said, shaking his fist, "This guy ain't joking."

As Sinister's scream rang through Josephine's ears she blinked again and tears came to her eyes as she realized what she was doing,b ut could stop herself, she had no control over her body, she was being controled and was being forced to kill Sinister. The she felt it, a small window of a few mere seconds where she had control. She pulled the blade from Sinister's stomcah and placed the hilt in his hand and stood there, her body shaking to keep control.
"Please, Nathaniel," she managed to say her figers curling in pain as she tried to keep in control, she looked into Sinister's eyes pleading for him to kill her so she wouldn't kill him.

Zeb side-stepped the attack gracefully, spinning as he did. He aimed a kick for the small of Shrapnel's back. "You think I'd run off and miss something as important as this?" He said, sneering. "You really are a stupid, useless fool."

Sinister grabbed the hilt and swung. The blade landed on the ground behind him. His decision was instant, undebatable, "I would never," he whispered, "I would marry you. I would fight with you over dinner, or who is to remove our trash, but I would never kill you..." He fell over, his body limp and blood flowing from his wounds. He coughed blood and shivered as his body began to feel cold.
Shrapnel spun as the kick hit his back, releaving some of the pain, "Screw you, turncoat," he bellowed, "All I can say is thank God you ain't the daddy's boy I first thought you'd turn out to be!"
He was thrown to the wall, as Cyclonus grabbed him by the neck and heaved him, "You need to learn to shut up and fight, Shrapnel," he said, standing by Zeb's side and crossing his arms.

Tears came to Jo's eyes as she used her powers to put the blade back in Sinister's hand, then she walked forward letting the blade run through her stomach. Her blood mixed with Sinister's blood that was already on the blade. Tears ran down her cheeks as she reached forward and used what was left of her strength to heal Sinister. She was in pain, but still managed to get Sinister to his knees and look at him as her blood flowed out of her wound.
She began to cough, blood staining her hand before she collasped against Sinister's chest, "Nathaniel," she whispered her strength leaving her, "I love you," she murmured closing her eyes, "Zeb," she added barely opeing her eyes trying to find her first born son.

Sinister felt his burden lighten, as he was healed albeit slightly. He looked to Josephine, and shook his head, "Jo!" He cradled her head as he began to cry once more, "No, Jo, hold on. I'll pull back the Marauders, and get you home. Our children need you! I need you, the Marauders need you! You're our glue, our sanity!"

Josephine managed a bloodied cough, chuckle and reached up and touched Sinister face, looking him in the eyes with a look of kindness and pity, "It's too late," she whispered blood pouring our of the wound around the sword, "It's my time, you always knew that I would go before you. At least this time I will leave with love in my heart for you."

"No, Jo. It isn't your time yet, I won't let you go like this. You deserve a less harsh death, something peaceful, serene, surrounded by our children, who will cry as they say they will miss you, but will remember you. Not here, in the sand..." Tears began to flow as he pulled the sword from her, and let it fall, "Josephine, I love you so..."

"Shh, I know, but my life hasn't been fair, and we both suspected I would leave this world less then peaceful," Josephine said her voice become weaker as she put her finger to Sinister's lip and managed a small smile, "I wanted to kill you when we met again, but I didn't and I fell in love with you again, I was proud of you, proud to bare your children, proud to love you. I hold no ill feelings towards you this lifetime, only love."

Zeb opened his mouth to speak again, "T- Hnng." He grunted, as if some invisible hand had punched him in the stomach and knocked all the air from his lungs. An arm wrapped around his stomach, a sharp pain resonating there. What was happening? Then he heard his name, spoken in a weak voice from across the battlefeild that he couldn't see. Another wave of pain struck him and he nearly doubled over, hand clasped on Cole's shoulder to steady himself. "What's happening?" He hissed to the other man, "What's going on? Tell me."

"Ignore it, Deception," he warned, "Jo has failed Apocalypse. She has betrayed him. Don't fall into the same pitfall, you can see whats happened to her..."
Sinister cradled her in his arms, "Jo, please, just hold on! I don't know what I could ever do if I lost you!" His tears began to flow freely as he held her.

Josephine managed a small smile her hand falling from Sinister's cheek, "Nathaniel, please I need to speak to Zeb one last time," she whispered hoarsely struggling to hold on.
