Apocalypse watched Cyclops enter the cave. He stood at the end of the cave waiting for Scott to come near him. " The time has come for you to become a leader." Apocalypse waves his hand and the cave comes alive with torches. " Your challenge will be to overtake the mansion and defeat the X-men."
Apocalypse looks toward a wall on the cave as it turns to an image of the front gates of the mansion. " Are you ready Scott?"

Scott's eyes had just begun to adjust to the darkness as he slowly made his way through the cave, relying on all that time running around voluntarily blind to get him through unscathed, when Apocalypse's voice echoed in the dark and torches lit up the entire cave. He had to close his eyes for a moment, the rush of light momentarily blinding him. When he opened his eyes Apocalypse was telling him what his challenge was... Overtake the mansion and defeat the X-Men? There were so many problems involved in doing such(technical and emotional) that it took a moment for Scott to reply, too caught up in staring at the image of the mansion gates.
"I..." and then the leadership that had been spoon-fed into him in all the DR sessions came out, a little curious if he could do it. "Just me or do I have a team to work with?" His brain raced through all the weapons systems he knew to be in place as well as the potential where-abouts of the mansion's residents...how best to get in and out without causing a commotion...

"You need not worry about a commotion Cyclops. I'll start one for you!" yelled evil Gust as he flew down and kicked Scott in the face. "Whoops, did I do that? My bad!" he said kicking him the the stomach! "Get up, wimp!!" he said furiously "I don't wanna kill you yet!" he yelled kicking him more

Apocalypse hovers back away from Scott and watches as the young mutant meets his first opponent. " Scott I shall help you only once and no more soo choose that time carefully." He returns his sights to the new mutant in thier presence. " He shall be your test to enter the mansion Scott, now go fourth and begin your journey." Apocalypse changes back to his "En Sabah Nur" form and lowers to the ground, and walks toward Scott

"Got it," Scott nodded, watching as Gust flies in and begins a flury of kicks, the angle sending Scott sprawling. Scott waited and timing it right grabs Gust's leg during a kick and pulls him to the ground, trying to get a good hold on the boy as he readies his eye beams. He knew very little about the boy so he wasn't sure what to expect in retaliation.

"Stupid, Boy!" Gust yelled as he turned himself into air. He then reformed behind Scott and kicked him down. "Hahahahaha! Foolish Scott, physical can attacks will do you no good." he said as he began to float up again.

He was surprised to find that the hold he'd had had accomplished nothing but him holding a bunch of air...the boy reappearing behind him. "Well then no physical," Scott responded, shooting a wide beam at the boy, knowing it wasn't particularly powerful, not a killing shot, but that wasn't the point. The point was to knock him out of the air...the wide beam insured he would hit his target.

'Agh! Ya bloody bastard!!" he yelled as he fell to the ground after being hit by Scott's beam. Gust stood back up holding his shoulder in pain. "Not a bad shot, Scott. You may pass." he said opening the gates to the mansion. "Be careful, the others won't be so easy." he said cautiously.

"Wouldn't expect them to be," Scott responded, passing through the gates. Nothing about Apocalypse's tasks were ever easy. He kept his guard up, watching for the automated defenses should they go up. Scott moved quietly across the grounds on edge for that next attack which would inevitably come.

"Lesson Number One Scott, TRUST NO ONE!!!" he said throwing a boulder down at Scott.

With Gust's verbal warning Scott had just enough time to dodge the boulder before he saw it crash to the ground. He wasn't going to blast it unless he had to...he'd learned in the labyrinth that blasting something so large usually only amounted to giving the opponent more projectiles. The trick was going to be blasting Gust...he couldn't believe he'd actually thought his opponent was going to just give up...but then again, most of the time the Brotherhood just ran off, so in his mind it had been a plausible outcome.
Scott ran behind the fountain hoping to use it as a barrier between him and his opponent. Not that it would stop a boulder, but it was better than being out in the open. He wasn't going to waste a shot, either...all or nothing next time he thought, eyes glowing red and watching for his shot.

"The fountain won't stop me, Scott." he said as he used the wind to slice the founain into six pieces. "Now come to me Scott, come to me." he said as he lifted Scott into air, binding his ams. "Say hello to the rest of the X-Men, Scott. Bye-Bye." he said as he made Scott fly face first into the mansion wall.

Figuring there was nothing else to do besides blast the mansion wall he did so, landing on a pile of rubble instead of having his head cracked open. He looked out through the hole and could see Gust still floating there...Time to take my shot, Scott thought, aiming for the heart and shooting a concentrated blast.

'Oh crap." he said as the blast shot right threw him. "With...my...last breath....i curse.....Zoidberg!" he said as he fell out the sky and hit the ground, dead.

After seeing Gust go down X23 cuckled. "Loser I knew he'd lose," she whispered as she slid down the tree she was hiding in she quitely and gracefuly inched her way behind scott. She was deadly silent as she pounced on him and used his own wait to throw him back wards into the tree she had been hideing in.
