Fight against Apocalypse

(MC's Point of View)

It has been around two years since Jean and Anna confessed their feelings for me, and from that day forward, we've spent more time together. I've also taken them out on a few dates. During these two years, many significant events occurred around the world. For instance, Thor was exiled to Earth, Captain America was rescued from his sleep in Antarctica, and Nick Fury is currently attempting to assemble a team of Avengers. Up until now, he has only managed to recruit Bruce Banner, Tony Stark, Captain America, Black Widow, and Hawkeye.

One year ago, Reed Richards and his team acquired superpowers due to a space storm and formed a group of superheroes known as the Fantastic Four.

During these two years, I also granted Jean and Anna new powers:

For Jean, I granted her the power of Reality Warping, Absolute Immortality, Time-Space Manipulation, and Power Negation.

For Anna, I bestowed upon her the power of Power Manipulation, Absolute Immortality, Time-Space Manipulation, and Power Negation.

I also granted them Kryptonian physiology. Currently, we all find ourselves at the Garden of X-Mansion, engaged in conversation when we suddenly hear an announcement that captures the world's attention.

(Third Person Point of View)

An unknown voice: "Hear me, inhabitants of this world. You have lost your way, but I have returned."

Unknown voice: "The day of reckoning is here. We will destroy everything you have built, and there is nothing you can do. This Earth will be ours."

Saying this, the unknown voice continues:

Unknown voice: "This message serves only one purpose, and that is to inform the strongest among you."

All over the world, people begin to panic as the message in their heads concludes. They don't understand what is happening, but the fact that someone—or something—managed to deliver such a message to the entire world in their minds terrifies them.

(Cairo, Egypt)

Inside a certain pyramid, a massive man with blue skin and ancient Egyptian armor sits atop a throne. This man is En Sabah Nur, also known as Apocalypse. At his side are the four horsemen he has recently recruited: Erik Lehnsherr, also known as Magneto; Victor Creed, also known as Sabretooth; Cain Marko, also known as Juggernaut; and Vincent, also known as Mesmero. After becoming his horsemen, all of them gained enhanced abilities and grew even stronger.

Once the message ends, Magneto speaks first:

Magneto: "They won't listen, you know. They will only retaliate."

Hearing this, Apocalypse sneers and says to Magneto:

Apocalypse: "It doesn't matter. Be it the X-Men or so-called superheroes. None of them will succeed. Why should those with power protect those without when we can rule over them? And why should those without power sit above those with power? This world is wrong!"

Sabretooth chimes in with disdain in his voice:

Sabretooth: "Heh. I don't care about all this. As long as I kill Wolverine, I'm good."

Juggernaut laughs and stomps his feet, causing the ground to shake, and says:

Juggernaut: "Haha! I only want to destroy!"

Mesmero remains quiet because he only followed due to Magneto's leadership, and it seemed interesting. Magneto sighs but no longer says anything, as he, too, joined for selfish reasons. He disdains normal humans and wants nothing more than to let mutants take over the world.

While Magneto contemplates, Apocalypse commands arrogantly:

Apocalypse: "Prepare the defenses. I'll give them a day to try and resist. Tomorrow will be the beginning of the end."

(X-Mansion)

As everyone discusses their plan to counter this threat, a figure arrives at the X-Mansion, covered in wounds. She has blue skin, and red hair, and wears a white sleeveless and backless suit with small skulls on her waist. She is none other than Raven Darkholme, also known as Mystique.

Mystique: "Charles, it's Erik. Save him."

She says in a pained voice and promptly faints, collapsing to the ground. Witnessing this, Anos takes action, healing her. After some time, Mystique regains consciousness and proceeds to inform everyone about Apocalypse.

Upon hearing her explanation, Charles forms a team consisting of Jean, Anna, Wolverine, Storm, Mystique, Cyclops, and himself for the impending battle. He instructs everyone else to defend the civilians.

(MC's Point of View)

As Charles assembles the team, I announce my intention to join the fight, surprising everyone, as I had never engaged in battle before. Mystique appears confused.

With everyone prepared for the battle, I teleport us to Egypt, where the confrontation will take place.

(Third Person Point of View)

Upon sensing our arrival, Apocalypse sneers and turns to his horsemen, who prepare for the fight. Mesmero suggests using his powers to even the odds, but Charles and Jean manage to stop him. Apocalypse questions Mesmero's hesitation, and Magneto, Sabretooth, Juggernaut, and Mesmero eventually acknowledge their selfish motives for joining Apocalypse.

Apocalypse then commands his horsemen to attack the X-Men. As the battle unfolds, I observe other superheroes such as Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Mister Fantastic, Human Torch, The Thing, and Invisible Woman joining the fight against Apocalypse.

I notice Hulk, The Thing, and Iron Man facing off against Juggernaut, while Storm, Invisible Woman, Black Widow, and Nightcrawler confront Sabretooth. Captain America, Mister Fantastic, Rogue, and Mystique engage Magneto. After a tough battle, they manage to overpower Magneto.

As I continue to observe the fight, I see Charles and Jean overpowering Mesmero. Eventually, the heroes defeat their adversaries. With all of his horsemen defeated Apocalypse deems them "useless."

Apocalypse: "Useless."

He says, looking at Mesmero's unconscious form. He then stands up, teleports outside, and deems them all useless once more. He prepares for a fight against the combined might of the heroes.

(MC's Point of View)

As I survey the battlefield, I remark, "That's nice and all, but you overestimate yourself too much." My words capture everyone's attention, as I casually walk toward Apocalypse.

Apocalypse frowns but doesn't act out. Instead, he gazes at me as though I were insignificant. This infuriates me, and I respond:

Apocalypse: "Name yourself, child."

I retort in a cold voice: "There's no need for you to know my name."

Apocalypse begins to question my abilities, and I interrupt him, saying:

"This is your punishment."

The next moment, I demonstrate my power, forcing Apocalypse to kneel. This leaves everyone, except Anna and Jean, shocked.

Apocalypse questions my actions, and I respond:

"This is enough to defeat me."

In response, the earth around us starts to rise, forming countless spikes aimed at me. I easily destroy them and, growing bored, erase Apocalypse. With Apocalypse gone, I observe everyone looking at me with shock and fear in their eyes.
