The man who interrupted the wedding must have been suicidal if he thought that there wouldn't be repercussions for his actions. And they were much more immediate than even he realized as Ichigo and Logan were both at his throat before Joseph or Colette could even realize they'd moved. One with adamantium coated claws and the other with twin techno-magically forged blades glowing with a blue-white energy. In the background, Runa's claws and nails began to appear as she growled out her anger at the situation.<br/><br/>The entire Imperial Guard went from formal attention to armed and prepared to tear him apart.<br/><br/>Suddenly there was a telekinetic shockwave emanating from Joseph as his psimitar appeared in hand as he bellowed out, “ENOUGH!!!!”<br/><br/>The shockwave up-ended several tables, a vast majority of the guests within fifty feet of him, the wedding train, his mother, Ryan, Ichigo, and Logan were all exempt from that particular disruption.<br/><br/>“First of all, Mr. Braddock, I would suggest for the sake of your mind and sanity that you pull your blade away from my wife or you'll learn a whole new definition of the word 'agony'. Ichigo.... Logan... Stand down.”<br/><br/>Both Ichigo and Logan took three steps back, but both were close enough that if Ryan breathed wrong, he'd be dogmeat before he finished a breath. Especially if you counted the Imperial Guard, X-Force, and some of the others there who wanted to rip him apart.<br/><br/>“You know you disrupted the most precious thing imaginable? For both myself and my wife? And for that I should shred your mind a million times over before putting you down like a maimed dog.” hissed Joseph attempting to contain the fury that brimmed just below the surface of his mind.<br/><br/>Just then a laugh came from the back end of the wedding field and a very large individual stood clapping. Black leather pants, a leather scaled vest with what appeared to be runes engraved on scales, boots of a leather like material. Clapping gently, he said, “Bravo Ryan Braddock. You've delivered my message quite wonderfully. And now that nearly all players have been assembled, I offer unto you a challenge and a gift.”<br/><br/>With that he snapped a finger and a huge wooden cross appeared, crucified upon it was the emaciated form of Apocalypse himself, complete with armor and all.<br/><br/>“The gift is that I have permanently removed Apocalypse from the playing field. His soul fueling wondrous things.” grinned the blue skinned man as he raised his hand and pointed at Joseph while grinning ferally.<br/><br/>“My challenge, Scion of Xavier, is to stop me. I care not about world domination only the eradication of the human race and it's bastard offspring mutantkind, so that my people can repopulate it as we were meant too before exiled by our enemy. But know this Scion of Xavier, I have given you a gift. Now I shall take something from you for my efforts.” grinned the man as he pointed at Colette and said, “Perish!”<br/><br/>A black bolt interlaced with a sickly green-white light streak over everyone aimed directly at Colette's breast. It moved entirely far too fast for anyone to intercede, but between the blink of an eye a portal opened and the bolt passed through the portal just before the portal snapped shut. In it's place stood a woman with short blue hair a large pistol leveled at the man who obviously intended to end Colette Xavier's life.<br/><br/>“Begone, mine enemy, lest I send you from this place in as many pieces as I can imagine.” snapped the woman.<br/><br/>“Charmaine, dear sister. Dear Guardian. Can you not even acknowledge our kinship? Here when things get so very, very interesting.... Ah well.... My goal has been achieved, but for that small thing. So with that I bid everyone adeu.” smiled the man before disappearing in a puff of brimstone smelling smoke.<br/><br/>(Tag, everyone feel free to give your reaction)
