X-Men: The Last Stand Page #4

Synopsis: When a cure is created, which apparently can turn any mutant into a normal human being, there is outrage amongst the mutant community. Whilst some mutants do like the idea of a cure, including Rogue, many mutants find that there shouldn't be a cure. Magneto, who still believes a war is coming, recruits a large team of mutants to take down Warren Worthington II and his cure. Might seem easy for the X-Men to stop, but Magneto has a big advantage, which Wolverine doesn't have. Jean Grey has returned, and joined with Magneto. The Phoenix has woken within her, which has the ability to destroy anything in her way, even if that 'anything' is a X-Men.

Jean, he wanted to hold you back.

- What do you want?

- I want you to be what you are.

As nature intended.

That cure is meant for all of us.

If we want freedom, we must fight for it.

And that fight begins now.

She shouldn't be here with us.

- Her power is completely unstable.

- Only in the wrong hands.

- And you trust her? She's one of them.

- So were you once.

I stuck with you. Would have killed

the professor if you'd given me the chance.

Charles Xavier did more for mutants

than you'll ever know.

My single greatest regret

is that he had to die for our dream to live.

So what now? What do we do?

Xavier started this school.

Perhaps it's best that it end with him.

- We'll tell the students they're going home.

- Most of us don't have anywhere to go.

I can't believe this. I can't believe

we're not going to fight for this school.

I'm sorry. I know this is a bad time.

I was told that this was

a safe place for mutants.

It was, son.

And it still is. We'll find you a room.

Hank, tell all the students

the school stays open.

Rogue.

Hey, Rogue.

- Hey, Pete. Have you seen Rogue?

- Yeah, she took off.

Logan.

Logan.

- Logan.

- Jean?

Logan. Where am I? Logan.

Logan. Logan.

- Logan.

- Stop.

Logan. Logan. Logan.

- Where are you going?

- Where do you think?

- She's gone, Logan. She's not coming back.

- You don't know that.

She killed the professor.

It wasn't Jean.

The Jean I know is still in there.

Listen, why can't you see the truth?

- Why can't you just let her go?

- Because... because...

Because you love her.

She made her choice.

Now it's time we make ours.

So if you're with us, then be with us.

We don't need a cure! We don't need a cure!

We don't need a cure! We don't need a cure!

We don't need a cure! We don't need a cure!

We don't need a cure! We don't need a cure!

Getting the cure so you can go back home

to mommy and daddy?

I'm looking for someone.

Oh, I get it. Your girlfriend.

I figured she'd want the cure. She's pathetic.

Come on, Iceman.

Make a move.

Same old Bobby. Still afraid of a fight.

Today's attack was only our first salvo.

So long as the cure exists, our war will rage.

Your cities will not be safe. Your streets

will not be safe. You will not be safe.

And to my fellow mutants,

I make you this offer...

Join us or stay out of our way.

Enough mutant blood

has been spilled already.

We're trying to track them, sir.

We're working hard.

- We cannot let him do this.

- You know I agree, sir.

This is now a national security matter.

Seize and secure Worthington Labs.

I want troops armed with cure weapons

deployed immediately.

And Trask, you have to find Magneto

and stop him by any means necessary.

Magneto wants a war. We'll give him one.

Let's go. Keep it moving.

Turn in your old weapon. Turn in all metal.

Bayonets, magazines, dog tags.

Pick up your plastic weapons.

Pick up your cure cartridge.

Absolutely no metal.

We don't need a cure! We don't need a cure!

We don't need a cure! We don't need a cure!

We don't need a cure! We don't need a cure!

They wish to cure us.

But I say to you we are the cure.

The cure for that infirm, imperfect condition

called homo sapiens.

They have their weapons.

We have ours.

We will strike with a vengeance and a fury

that this world has never witnessed.

And if any mutants stand in our way,

we will use this poison against them.

We shall go to Alcatraz Island,

take control of the cure,

and destroy its source.

And then nothing can stop us.

Jean.

I know the smell of your domatium

from a mile away.

- I didn't come here to fight you.

- Smart boy.

- I came for Jean.

- You think I'm keeping her against her will?

- She's here because she wants to be.

- You don't know what you're dealing with.

I know full well.

I saw what she did to Charles.

And you stood there and let him die?

- I'm not leaving here without her.

- Yes, you are.

OK.

Two minutes till rendezvous, Mr. President.

We have a satellite feed

of Magneto's base of operations.

- How did we find it?

- She gave us everything we wanted.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Approaching target dead ahead.

Set for 360-degree incursion.

This is Team Leader to Bravo One.

We are green to go.

OK, send them in.

OK.

Freeze, mutants!

Get your hands in the air! Hands in the air!

OK. I give up.

Sorry, Mr. Secretary, it was a decoy.

If he's not there, then where the hell is he?

Worthington Labs. It ends where it began.

- Are you sure the boy is still inside?

- 100%.

So how are we supposed to get there?

'Cause I don't swim.

Leave that to me.

Storm. Storm.

What are you doing back here?

I need help.

- You found her.

- Yeah. She's with Magneto.

- Where are they?

- On the move. I know where they're going.

- You're saying you saw Magneto?

- We gotta go. They're gonna attack Alcatraz.

- There are troops stationed on that island.

- Not enough to stop him.

Let's suit up.

- Hard to believe this once fit me.

- If Magneto gets that cure, we can't stop him.

- Can you estimate how many he has?

- An army. And Jean.

- His powers have limits, hers do not.

- There's only six of us, Logan.

Yeah. We're outnumbered.

I'm not gonna lie to you.

But we lost Scott.

We lost the professor.

If we don't fight now,

everything they stood for will die with them.

I'm not gonna let that happen.

Are you?

Then we stand together.

X-Men.

All of us.

We're in.

Let's go.

- They're ready.

- Yeah, I know.

But are you ready to do what you need to do

when the time comes?

Dad, what's going on?

It's an earthquake.

We're trapped.

Charles always wanted to build bridges.

My God.

Fall back! Take cover! Fall back!

The boy's in the southeast corner

of the building.

- Well, then.

- Let's take it down!

In chess, the pawns go first.

Humans and their guns.

Plastic. They've learned.

That's why the pawns go first.

Target the bridge.

Fire!

Arclight, use your shockwaves.

Target those weapons.

- Oh, my stars and garters.

- Go into stealth mode.

- What about jets? Tanks?

- Against Magneto? He'll turn them inside out.

- Where are our ground troops?

- 30 minutes away.

Then God help us.

They're coming for him.

Don't ever do that again.

You men cover the doors!

Everybody get together! And hold this line!

Traitors to their own cause.

Finish them!

Not yet.

Go inside and get the boy. And kill him.

With pleasure.

Hold it!

He's going for the boy!

Not if I get there first.

Kitty!

Come on.

Grow those back.

Don't you know who I am?

I'm the Juggernaut, b*tch.

Going somewhere?

You're the guy that invented the cure, right?

Yes, I am.

Girls.

No. Don't. Don't hurt him.

- No. Don't hurt him.

- Let go of me. I didn't do anything.

Calm down. Calm down.

Everything's gonna be OK.

- I thought you were a diplomat.

- As Churchill said, "There comes a time..."

Oh, you get the point.

Oh, no. Please, no, no, don't.

No.

No, don't worry. I'm here to help you.

I'm going to get you out of here.
