HELLO EVERYONE, UNFORTUNETLY THE NEW ART OF X3 BOOK DIDNT COME WITH A SCRIPT, SO I MADE MY OWN, HERE IT I, THERE MAY BE MISTAKES AS I JUST WROTE WROTE AND WROTE AND DIDNT CHECK ALONG THE WAY, CYA
20 years ago
A car pulls up outside a house within an ordinary neighbourhood
Magneto and Prof x, both looking much younger, come out of the car
Magneto
I still don’t know why I’m here! Couldn’t you just make them say yes?
Prof x
Yes I could but it’s not my way, and I would expect you of all people to understand my feelings about the misuse of power!
Magneto
Ah, power corrupts and all that, yes I know that Charles, when are you going to stop lecturing me?
Prof x
When you start listening. . .
Magneto chuckles
. . . You’re here because I need you
Magneto
We’re not going to have to meet every one of them in person are we?
Prof x
No, this one’s special
End scene
Within the house sit Mrs grey, Mr grey, Prof x and Magneto
Mrs Grey is looking upon the Xavier institute leaflet
Mrs Grey
A beautiful campus, john, don’t you think?
Mr Grey
Yes the brochure is great, but what about jean? What about her, illness?
Magneto
Illness. . .
Mrs Grey
. . . John!
Magneto
You think your daughter is sick Mr Grey?
Prof x
Perhaps it would be best if we were to speak to her, alone!
Mrs Grey
Of course, jean can you come down dear?
Jean walks down and enters
Mr Grey
We’ll, umm, leave you then
Both parents exit
Jean looks at both Magneto and Prof X
Prof x (within his and her mind)
It’s very rude you know, to read my thoughts or Mr Lenshers without our permission
Magneto
Did you think you were the only one of you’re kind young lady?
Prof x
We’re mutants’ jean, we are like you!
Jean
Really, I doubt that
All the cars within the neighbourhood begin to float on the air, a mans lawn mower lifts within the air, another mans water from his hose starts to shoot upwards against gravity
Magneto
Oh Charles, I like this one!
Prof x
You have more power than you can imagine jean, but the question is, will you control that power. . .
All the cars drop, jean looks upset
. . . Or let it control you?
End scene
Ten years ago
A large building appears, within it is a young man named warren Worthington, he seems to be soaring something upon his back, and he is crying and seems to be in some pain
His father, warren Worthington SR walks down a corridor
He knocks on the bathroom door
Warren SR
Warren, son, is everything all right? What’s going on in there?
Warren
Nothing ill be right out
Warren SR
Come on you’ve been in there for over an hour, open the door! Warren . . .
Warren
One second
He puts various tools back into a box; there are several spots of blood around the sink
Warren SR
Open this door! Warren, let me in there right now. . .
Warren tries to clear everything; warren SR tries to open the door
. . . Open the door!
He slams the door open, warren turns to face him, covering in front of the tool box, warren bursts out crying, there are feathers all over the floor
Warren SR
Oh no, not you
Warren
Dad, I’m so sorry
The mirror reveals his back where he has the left over from two sawn off wings, the camera zooms in
The opening sequence includes different cells travelling through the bloodstream
Then it reveals scientists hands preparing different test tubes
Then into a set of jeans where the title ‘X men The Last Stand’ appears.
Then the usual cerebro appears and zooms in to the next scene
End scene
A giant explosion occurs, to reveal a war ground!
Bobby and kitty run through a massacre of explosions and falling buildings.
While flying, storm dodges laser blasts and lands.
Rogue and colossus hide behind a rock.
As he looks back he sees shrapnel from an explosion heads towards them.
As he turns to his metal form, he grabs rogue, she too turns to metal.
The rocks bounce off them onto wolverine smoking a cigar.
Colossus and rogue see wolverine healing as they turn back to human form.
Colossus shakes his head as he is a little weak from touching rogue.
Logan
The whole worlds gonna go to hell an your just gonna sit there? . . . . lets go!
Bobby and kitty continue to run, he notices a missile heading towards them, he freezes it and it hits the ground.
As he turns around kitty notices another missile.
Kitty
BOBBY!
she embraces him and the missile phases through them. They smile at each other.
Bobby
Thanks kitty!
Rogue notices them together and gives a jealous glance, then continues with colossus.
Logan is lighting his cigar on a piece of fire upon a wrecked car. Storm runs up besides him.
Storm
We’re getting killed out here!
Logan
Yea I know, there not ready storm
A defining foot step appears catching storms attention.
Storm
Logan!
The sentinel’s bright eyes appear as it seeks out its target
Logan
Oh don’t get your panties in a bunch
She hurls him away as a rock crushes the car. Logan has lost his cigar.
Logan
That was my last cigar!
He walks off as the sentinel approaches them blowing obstacles away.
Storm
Logan!
Rogue
It’s getting closer!
Storm
Come on, we’ve got to keep moving
Eyeing up the sentinel, logan looks over to colossus.
Logan
Hey tin man, come here . . . . . . how’s your throwing arm.
Logan unleashes his claws
Colossus walks over to logan.
Storm
Logan we work as a team
Logan
Yea good look with that
Colossus reaches logan turning into his metal form
Logan
Throw me . . . . . now!
Colossus grabs him, spins around and hurls him in the air
Storm
Logan don’t do this!
Logan
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Logan disappears into the light of the sentinel, sounds of breaking metal occur, the x men wait for him to return.
Suddenly from the mist, the head of the machine lands on the ground with a thud.
Logan walks out from behind it
Logan
Class dismissed
Storm gives a look of disapproval.
The whole battleground fades away into a large, round metal room
Logan
Hey colossus . . . . . . Nice throw!
All of the x men turn there ear pieces off
The danger room
Simulation, complete!
All the x men walk into the hallway of the lower levels
Storm
What the hell was that?
Logan
Danger room session
Storm
You know what I mean
Logan
Oh lighten up storm . . . .
Storm
. . . . look you cant just change the rules when you feel like it, I’m trying to teach them something here
Logan
Well I taught them something
Storm
It was a defensive exercise
Logan
Yea, best defence is a good offence, or was it the other way round?
Storm
This isn’t a game logan!
Logan
Really, you could have sure fooled me . . . . Hey, I’m just a sub, if you’ve got a problem talk to Scott.
He walks off with the others
End scene
Scott is sitting on his bed with his head down.
A sudden image of jean drowning under water appears in his mind
Jean
Scooott
Scott
Jean?
Jean (whispers)
Scott, Scott, Scott
He grabs his things and leaves
Scene end
Walking out of the elevator . . . . .
Bobby
Are you ok
Rogue
I’m fine
Bobby
You don’t seem fine, you seem like your avoiding me! Something’s wrong
Rogue
What’s wrong is that I cant touch my boyfriend without killing him, other than that I’m wonderful
Bobby
Hey I don’t think that’s fair, have I ever put any pressure on you?
Rogue
You’re a guy bobby, your minds only on one thing!
End scene
Walking past each other in the corridor
Logan
Hey Scott, they were looking for you down stairs you didn’t show!
Scott
So, what do you care
Logan
Well for starters I had to cover your ***
Scott
So didn’t ask you to
Logan
No, you didn’t the professor did! I was just passing through
Scott
So pass through logan!
Logan (grabbing scott)
Hey look, I know how you feel
Scott
Don’t!
Logan
When jean died
Scott
I said don’t !
Logan
Maybe its time for us to move on!
Scott (walking off)
Not everyone heals as fast as you logan!
End scene
Within the ‘department of mutant affairs’ building, a blue furry man named Dr Hank Mccoy A.K.A.beast is reading ‘scientific america’ clinging upside down to the ceiling of his office, a lady walks in.
Lady
Mr Secretary
Beast
Yes?
Lady
The meeting has begun sir!
Beast
Thank you
Beast walks into a room full of people including the president, and Bolivar Trask, a man head of mutant operations.
Beast is just putting on his jacket, he goes and sits down
Beast
Mr President
President
Have a seat hank, Homeland security was tracking magneto.
He hands him some papers
Trask
We got hits on Thisben, Tuniba Montero, nav sat lost him crossing the boarder but we did get a consolation prise. . .
He switches a screen on; mystique is on the screen tied up with an interrogator
. . . We picked her up breaking into the FDA of all places
President
Do you know who she has been imitating, secretary Trask here.
Beast
Yes sir, she can do that
Trask
Not anymore she can’t, we got her
Beast
You think your prisons can hold her
Trask
We have some new prisons hank, we keep them mobile, and we will be a step ahead this time
Beast gives a look of approval
Upon the screen
Interrogator
Where is magneto? Raven, Raven I asked you a question!
Mystique
I don’t answer to my slave name
Interrogator
Raven Darkholme that is your real name isn’t it, or has he convinced you, you don’t have a family anymore?
Mystique
My family tried to kill me you pathetic meat sack!
Interrogator
Ok then mystique, where is he
She morphs into magneto
Mystique
In here with us
Interrogator
I don’t want to play games with you! I want answers!
She morphs into the Interrogator
Mystique
You don’t want to play games with me?
The Interrogator stands up
Interrogator
You are going to stop this, tell me where is magneto?
She leans up to him
Mystique
You want to know where he is.
She head butts him back into his chair, then she slides the chair back into the guard, she jumps onto the table morphing into her true form, she then kicks the guard who comes up behind her, then she swings round grabbing the interrogators neck and drags him back to the wall
Mystique
Homo Sapien
The other 2 guards come and stop her, the screen in the office is switched off, the people on the desk turn around
Beast
You know her capture will only provoke magneto, but having her does give us some diplomatic leverage
President
On principal I can’t negotiate with these people!
Beast
I thought that is why you appointed me sir
President
Yes it is
Beast
But that is not why you called me here
President
No, this is, its what she stole from the FDA
He hands beast some papers with information about a young boy called leech who can suppress the mutant jean, in another word, cure all mutants.
Beast
Dear lord, is it viable?
President
We believe it is!
Beast
Do you realize the level of impact this will have on the mutant community?
President
Yes I do, that’s precisely why we need some of your diplomacy now
Beast thinks
End scene
Prof x
When an individual acquires a great power, the use or misuse of this power is everything, will it be for the greater good? Or will it be used for personnel, or destructive ends, now this is a question we must all ask ourselves, why? Because we are mutants. . .
The shot reveals a class of recognised mutant students such as kitty Pryde, jubilee, siryn, and Jones.
. . . for physics this presents a particular problem, when is it acceptable to use our power and when do we cross that invisible line that turns us into tyrants over our fellow man.
A mutant girl is writing the lesson down using only her mind to create the words on the page
Kitty
But Einstein said that ethics are an exclusive human concern without any super human authority behind it
Prof x
Einstein wasn’t a mutant, as far as we know
The class laughs, two boys look at each other while laughing, they are identical
Prof x
Now this case study was sent to me Dr Moira Mctaggart , Jones
Jones switched the TV on by blinking
It shows Moira and a man in a hospital bed
Moira
The man you see here was born with no high level brain functions, his organs and nervous system work, but he has no consciousness to speak of.
Prof x
Now what if we were to transfer, the consciousness of one person, a father of four with terminal cancer, into the body of this man, how are we to decide what falls within the range of ethical behaviour and what. . .
He stops as something has distracted him, storm clouds gather outside
Jones
Professor
Prof x
We’ll continue this tomorrow, class dismissed.
End scene
Storm is standing upon the school balcony; she is staring into the sky
Prof x
The forecast was for sunny skies
Storm
Oh, I’m sorry
She sends away all the clouds with her eyes glowing white
Prof x
I don’t have to be physic to see that something is bothering you!
Within the corridor
A boy is flying paper aeroplanes with his mind
Storm
I don’t understand magneto is a fugitive; we have a mutant in the cabinet, a president who understands us, why are we still hiding?
Prof x
We’re not hiding but we still have enemies out there, and I must protect my students you know that
Storm
Yes, but we can’t be students forever!
Prof x
Ha ha, storm I haven’t though of you as my student in years, in fact I though, you might take my place one day
Storm
But Scott’s. . .
Prof x
. . . Scott’s a changed man, he took jeans death so hard, yes things are better out there, but you of all people know how fast the weather can change
Storm
There’s something you’re not telling us!
They enter a room where beast is looking upon a piece of artwork on the wall
Storm
Hank?
Beast
Ororo, Charles,
Beast and storm hug
Storm
I love what you have done with your hair
Beast
You too
Storm
Thanks
Beast
Thank you for seeing me on such short notice
Prof x
Hank, you are always welcome here, you’re a part of this place
Beast
I have news
Prof x
Is it Erik?
Beast
No, but we have been making some progress on that front, mystique was recently apprehended
Logan
Who’s the fur ball?
Beast
Hank McCoy, secretary of mutant affairs
Logan
Right, right the secretary, nice suit
Prof x
Henry this is Logan, he’s ummm. . . .
Beast
. . . Wolverine, I hear you’re quite an animal
Logan
Look who’s talking!
Storm
You know magneto is going to come and get mystique right!
Beast
Magneto’s not a problem, at least not our most pressing one; the major farmer suitable company have developed a mutant anti-body, a way to suppress the mutant x-gene
Logan
Suppress?
Beast
Permanently, they’re calling it a cure
Storm
Well, that’s ridiculous; you can’t cure being a mutant
Beast
Well scientifically speaking. . .
Storm
. . . Since when did we become a disease? . .
Prof x
. . . Storm, they are announcing it now
Warren Worthington SR (on TV)
These so called mutants are people just like us, their affliction is nothing more than a disease, a corruption of healthy cellular activity, but I’m here today to tell you there is hope, and this site, once the worlds most famous prison, will now be the source of freedom for all mutants who choose, ladies and gentlemen I proudly present the answer to mutation, finally we have a cure.
The president and Trask look upon the TV with happiness, rogue looks at the screen, idling the cure
Storm
Who would want this cure; I mean what kind of coward would take it just to fit in.
Beast
Is it coward ness to save oneself from persecution? Not all of us can fit in so easily, you don’t shed on the furniture
Logan
Well for all we know the government helped cooked this up
Beast
I can assure you the government had nothing to do with this
Logan
Well I’ve heard that before
Beast
My boy, I have been fighting for mutant rights since before you had claws.
Logan looks at Prof X
Logan
Did he just cal me boy
Rogue (entering)
Is it true, they can cure us?
Prof x
Yes rogue it appears to be true
Logan looks at rogue
Storm
No professor, they can’t cure us, do you want to know why? Because there is nothing to cure, nothing is wrong with you, or any of us for that matter!
End scene
An abandoned church is the home to a comity of mutants who are debating about the mutant cure
Upon the stage area is a mutant organizer; the room is filled with about 80 mutants
Mutant organizer
How should we as mutants respond? Here is what I think, this is about getting organized, bringing our complaints to the right people, we need to put together a comity and talk to the government. . .
The room is full of noises of complaints, there are various mutants within the room, one mutant, named the lizard man, is climbing upon a wall,
. . . They don’t understand, they don’t know what it means to be a mutant, we need to show them, educate them, let them know that we’re here to stay! . . .
A large man walks and goes to sit into a small space between 2 others, he shrinks into a much thinner man as he sits down.
. . . People you must listen, they won’t take us seriously. . .
Psylocke
They want to exterminate us!
Mutant organizer
This cure is voluntary; nobody is talking about extermination. . .
Magneto
. . . No one ever talks about it. . .
The mutants look over to him
Magneto and pyro make there way to the stage, pyro sends the organizer away
. . . They just do it, and you go on with our lives, ignoring the signs, all around you, and then one day, when the air is still and the night has fallen, they come for you. . .
Mutant organizer
. . . Excuse me. . .
Magneto
. . . its only then you realise what your talking about, organising and comities, the extermination has already begun, make no mistake my brothers, they will draw first blood, they will force their cure upon us, the only question is, will you join my brotherhood and fight, or wait for the inevitable genocide, who will you stand with, the humans, or us!
He walks away, a mutant quill follows, as does a mutant named callisto with her friend arclight
They stop magneto
Quill
You talk pretty tough for a guy in a cape
Pyro (lighting his flame thrower)
Back off
Callisto
You so proud of being a mutant, where is your mark?
Magneto (showing the numbers on his arm)
I have been marked once my dear and let me assure no needle shall ever touch my skin again!
Pyro
Do you know who you are talking to?
Quill (erecting many thin spikes from his face)
Do you?
Pyro laughs
Magneto
And what can you do. . .
Callisto zooms across the room and back in less than a second
. . . mmm, so you have talents
callisto
That and more, I know you control metal, and I know that there is 87 mutants in here and none of them are above a class 3, other than you 2
Magneto
You can sense other mutants and their powers. . .
She nods
. . . Could you locate one for me? (Whispering)
A mobile prison makes its way across the country; it is guarded with four police cars
Within the truck are three cells, guarded with 2 guards
Within the open cell, the president is hung by his hands
The president
Let me out of here, I demand that you release me, do you know who I am, I am the president of the United States!
Guard
Oh Mr President, SHUT UP!!!
He turns around, a morph sound appears
The president is now a little girl
Little girl
Why are you doing this to me, let me down, I’ll be a good girl, please let me girl, please
Getting out his sprayer
Guard
Keep it up; I’ll spray you in the face *****
Little girl
When I get out of here, I’m going to kill you myself
Guard
Ha ha, yea right
The little girl morphs once again, however this time into the true form – mystique, who glares at the guard.
The convoy continues across the country
End scene
A helicopter lands on Alcatraz; from it steps out Dr Hank McCoy meeting Dr Rao,
Dr Rao
Secretary McCoy, welcome to Worthington labs
Beast
Thank you Dr Rao, not an easy place to get to!
Dr Rao
It’s the safest location we could find, that’s why we keep the source of the cure here
Now within the building
Beast
He is a mutant, you understand our concern
Dr Rao
We are in full compliance with your government’s policy
Beast
How long will you keep the boy here?
Dr Rao
Until we can fully map his DNA, we can replicate it but we can’t generate it!
Beast
And his power, what is its range
Dr Rao
You will see . . .
She opens the door to a bedroom where leech is playing upon a games station
. . . Jimmy, there is someone I would like you to meet
Beast
Hello there son
Leech
Hi
Beast
(Walking up to him) my name is hank McCoy
His hand turns human as he goes to shake his hand, however his hand turns human
Leech
I’m sorry
Beast
It okay
He looks at his hand at what it once would have been
Beast
You have an amazing gift, thank you Jimmy
Beast walks back to Dr Rao, his hand turns back
Dr Rao
Extraordinary isn’t he
Beast
Yes he is
They both exit

We have some new prisons hank, we keep them mobile, and we will be a step ahead this time
Beast gives a look of approval
Upon the screen
Interrogator
Where is magneto? Raven, Raven I asked you a question!
Mystique
I don’t answer to my slave name
Interrogator
Raven Darkholme that is your real name isn’t it, or has he convinced you, you don’t have a family anymore?
Mystique
My family tried to kill me you pathetic meat sack!
Interrogator
Ok then mystique, where is he
She morphs into magneto
Mystique
In here with us
Interrogator
I don’t want to play games with you! I want answers!
She morphs into the Interrogator
Mystique
You don’t want to play games with me?
The Interrogator stands up
Interrogator
You are going to stop this, tell me where is magneto?
She leans up to him
Mystique
You want to know where he is.
She head butts him back into his chair, then she slides the chair back into the guard, she jumps onto the table morphing into her true form, she then kicks the guard who comes up behind her, then she swings round grabbing the interrogators neck and drags him back to the wall
Mystique
Homo Sapien
The other 2 guards come and stop her, the screen in the office is switched off, the people on the desk turn around
Beast
You know her capture will only provoke magneto, but having her does give us some diplomatic leverage
President
On principal I can’t negotiate with these people!
Beast
I thought that is why you appointed me sir
President
Yes it is
Beast
But that is not why you called me here
President
No, this is, its what she stole from the FDA
He hands beast some papers with information about a young boy called leech who can suppress the mutant jean, in another word, cure all mutants.
Beast
Dear lord, is it viable?
President
We believe it is!
Beast
Do you realize the level of impact this will have on the mutant community?
President
Yes I do, that’s precisely why we need some of your diplomacy now
Beast thinks
End scene
Prof x
When an individual acquires a great power, the use or misuse of this power is everything, will it be for the greater good? Or will it be used for personnel, or destructive ends, now this is a question we must all ask ourselves, why? Because we are mutants. . .
The shot reveals a class of recognised mutant students such as kitty Pryde, jubilee, siryn, and Jones.
. . . for physics this presents a particular problem, when is it acceptable to use our power and when do we cross that invisible line that turns us into tyrants over our fellow man.
A mutant girl is writing the lesson down using only her mind to create the words on the page
Kitty
But Einstein said that ethics are an exclusive human concern without any super human authority behind it
Prof x
Einstein wasn’t a mutant, as far as we know
The class laughs, two boys look at each other while laughing, they are identical
Prof x
Now this case study was sent to me Dr Moira Mctaggart , Jones
Jones switched the TV on by blinking
It shows Moira and a man in a hospital bed
Moira
The man you see here was born with no high level brain functions, his organs and nervous system work, but he has no consciousness to speak of.
Prof x
Now what if we were to transfer, the consciousness of one person, a father of four with terminal cancer, into the body of this man, how are we to decide what falls within the range of ethical behaviour and what. . .
He stops as something has distracted him, storm clouds gather outside
Jones
Professor
Prof x
We’ll continue this tomorrow, class dismissed.
End scene
Storm is standing upon the school balcony; she is staring into the sky
Prof x
The forecast was for sunny skies
Storm
Oh, I’m sorry
She sends away all the clouds with her eyes glowing white
Prof x
I don’t have to be physic to see that something is bothering you!
Within the corridor
A boy is flying paper aeroplanes with his mind
Storm
I don’t understand magneto is a fugitive; we have a mutant in the cabinet, a president who understands us, why are we still hiding?
Prof x
We’re not hiding but we still have enemies out there, and I must protect my students you know that
Storm
Yes, but we can’t be students forever!
Prof x
Ha ha, storm I haven’t though of you as my student in years, in fact I though, you might take my place one day
Storm
But Scott’s. . .
Prof x
. . . Scott’s a changed man, he took jeans death so hard, yes things are better out there, but you of all people know how fast the weather can change
Storm
There’s something you’re not telling us!
They enter a room where beast is looking upon a piece of artwork on the wall
Storm
Hank?
Beast
Ororo, Charles,
Beast and storm hug
Storm
I love what you have done with your hair
Beast
You too
Storm
Thanks
Beast
Thank you for seeing me on such short notice
Prof x
Hank, you are always welcome here, you’re a part of this place
Beast
I have news
Prof x
Is it Erik?
Beast
No, but we have been making some progress on that front, mystique was recently apprehended
Logan
Who’s the fur ball?
Beast
Hank McCoy, secretary of mutant affairs
Logan
Right, right the secretary, nice suit
Prof x
Henry this is Logan, he’s ummm. . . .
Beast
. . . Wolverine, I hear you’re quite an animal
Logan
Look who’s talking!
Storm
You know magneto is going to come and get mystique right!
Beast
Magneto’s not a problem, at least not our most pressing one; the major farmer suitable company have developed a mutant anti-body, a way to suppress the mutant x-gene
Logan
Suppress?
Beast
Permanently, they’re calling it a cure
Storm
Well, that’s ridiculous; you can’t cure being a mutant
Beast
Well scientifically speaking. . .
Storm
. . . Since when did we become a disease? . .
Prof x
. . . Storm, they are announcing it now
Warren Worthington SR (on TV)
These so called mutants are people just like us, their affliction is nothing more than a disease, a corruption of healthy cellular activity, but I’m here today to tell you there is hope, and this site, once the worlds most famous prison, will now be the source of freedom for all mutants who choose, ladies and gentlemen I proudly present the answer to mutation, finally we have a cure.
The president and Trask look upon the TV with happiness, rogue looks at the screen, idling the cure
Storm
Who would want this cure; I mean what kind of coward would take it just to fit in.
Beast
Is it coward ness to save oneself from persecution? Not all of us can fit in so easily, you don’t shed on the furniture
Logan
Well for all we know the government helped cooked this up
Beast
I can assure you the government had nothing to do with this
Logan
Well I’ve heard that before
Beast
My boy, I have been fighting for mutant rights since before you had claws.
Logan looks at Prof X
Logan
Did he just cal me boy
Rogue (entering)
Is it true, they can cure us?
Prof x
Yes rogue it appears to be true
Logan looks at rogue
Storm
No professor, they can’t cure us, do you want to know why? Because there is nothing to cure, nothing is wrong with you, or any of us for that matter!
End scene
An abandoned church is the home to a comity of mutants who are debating about the mutant cure
Upon the stage area is a mutant organizer; the room is filled with about 80 mutants
Mutant organizer
How should we as mutants respond? Here is what I think, this is about getting organized, bringing our complaints to the right people, we need to put together a comity and talk to the government. . .
The room is full of noises of complaints, there are various mutants within the room, one mutant, named the lizard man, is climbing upon a wall,
. . . They don’t understand, they don’t know what it means to be a mutant, we need to show them, educate them, let them know that we’re here to stay! . . .
A large man walks and goes to sit into a small space between 2 others, he shrinks into a much thinner man as he sits down.
. . . People you must listen, they won’t take us seriously. . .
Psylocke
They want to exterminate us!
Mutant organizer
This cure is voluntary; nobody is talking about extermination. . .
Magneto
. . . No one ever talks about it. . .
The mutants look over to him
Magneto and pyro make there way to the stage, pyro sends the organizer away
. . . They just do it, and you go on with our lives, ignoring the signs, all around you, and then one day, when the air is still and the night has fallen, they come for you. . .
Mutant organizer
. . . Excuse me. . .
Magneto
. . . its only then you realise what your talking about, organising and comities, the extermination has already begun, make no mistake my brothers, they will draw first blood, they will force their cure upon us, the only question is, will you join my brotherhood and fight, or wait for the inevitable genocide, who will you stand with, the humans, or us!
He walks away, a mutant quill follows, as does a mutant named callisto with her friend arclight
They stop magneto
Quill
You talk pretty tough for a guy in a cape
Pyro (lighting his flame thrower)
Back off
Callisto
You so proud of being a mutant, where is your mark?
Magneto (showing the numbers on his arm)
I have been marked once my dear and let me assure no needle shall ever touch my skin again!
Pyro
Do you know who you are talking to?
Quill (erecting many thin spikes from his face)
Do you?
Pyro laughs
Magneto
And what can you do. . .
Callisto zooms across the room and back in less than a second
. . . mmm, so you have talents
callisto
That and more, I know you control metal, and I know that there is 87 mutants in here and none of them are above a class 3, other than you 2
Magneto
You can sense other mutants and their powers. . .
She nods
. . . Could you locate one for me? (Whispering)
A mobile prison makes its way across the country; it is guarded with four police cars
Within the truck are three cells, guarded with 2 guards
Within the open cell, the president is hung by his hands
The president
Let me out of here, I demand that you release me, do you know who I am, I am the president of the United States!
Guard
Oh Mr President, SHUT UP!!!
He turns around, a morph sound appears
The president is now a little girl
Little girl
Why are you doing this to me, let me down, I’ll be a good girl, please let me girl, please
Getting out his sprayer
Guard
Keep it up; I’ll spray you in the face *****
Little girl
When I get out of here, I’m going to kill you myself
Guard
Ha ha, yea right
The little girl morphs once again, however this time into the true form – mystique, who glares at the guard.
The convoy continues across the country
End scene
A helicopter lands on Alcatraz; from it steps out Dr Hank McCoy meeting Dr Rao,
Dr Rao
Secretary McCoy, welcome to Worthington labs
Beast
Thank you Dr Rao, not an easy place to get to!
Dr Rao
It’s the safest location we could find, that’s why we keep the source of the cure here
Now within the building
Beast
He is a mutant, you understand our concern
Dr Rao
We are in full compliance with your government’s policy
Beast
How long will you keep the boy here?
Dr Rao
Until we can fully map his DNA, we can replicate it but we can’t generate it!
Beast
And his power, what is its range
Dr Rao
You will see . . .
She opens the door to a bedroom where leech is playing upon a games station
. . . Jimmy, there is someone I would like you to meet
Beast
Hello there son
Leech
Hi
Beast
(Walking up to him) my name is hank McCoy
His hand turns human as he goes to shake his hand, however his hand turns human
Leech
I’m sorry
Beast
It okay
He looks at his hand at what it once would have been
Beast
You have an amazing gift, thank you Jimmy
Beast walks back to Dr Rao, his hand turns back
Dr Rao
Extraordinary isn’t he
Beast
Yes he is
They both exit
