The Purifiers have returned. Possibly with political backing, perhaps they've been in the wings for years, for whatever reason, Cyclops has learned from a mutant who can see future that the Legacy virus will infect and kill everyone and everything, in a mad attempt to wipe out mutants.
They were able to get this information out of the woman before she passed away. It turns out that she was indeed a precognotive mutant that the Purifiers were using to foresee battles and happenings leading to the upcoming anti-mutant war.
When they saw that an alternate future was that there would be a sturdy peace at least underway for mutants and homo sapians, they new they had to do more then foil the Xmen in isolated incidents, it was time to bring forth the secret weapon long thought done away with, the LEGACY virus.
The mutant finally made her escape from the purifiers, and rushed to tell the X-men that their lives were in danger, unfortunatly she was wounded in the attempt.
She jumping over fences, running through allies, she hides behind a wall, hearing people coming. She squints her eyes saying under breath "Find me...please find me...I'm right here.......oh please hurry-"
"THERE SHE IS!" Says one of the gunmen that are looking for her, and aims his gun to open fire, then -ZAP- he's blasted away by a red laser beam. Roaring is heard and a hairy large silloette jumps from the cieling landing on two other purifiers. Ice freezes another before emptying his gun.. (Basicly the Xmen have come and are defending here, even though she cant see them, and neither can way do to darkness of room/ally.)
Before dying she was able to see the future that would unfold if the Legacy Virus was to go on line, eventual irradication of every living thing do to uncalculated mutation of the virus. Before dying, she breathed out the last words to answere Scott's question at what they could do to stop it: "Grayden Creed, must DIE."
Seeing no other option, and knowing that dealing with Radicals like the purifiers under the late Willaim striker would not result in taking prisoners, Scott Summers decides to initiate plan X. A plan he never hoped to resort to and that Xavier himself wished would NEVER be condonable, and he states this.
The X-Factor, the Xmen's very own black ops, caplable of doing the WET WORK needed that the Xmen could not be seen doing. Eager to head the team of course was Wolverine, who was asigned to both recuit and bring in the members. Though Cyclops insisted he finalise who STAYS.
X-23 is made an adition to the team seeing how her term with SHEILD is presently expired, (ironicly doing THEIR wet work). We see her in the middle of a mission taking out Hydra or whoever in some Ukranian castle, in a misson suit. Right before she knives the boss she's supposed to kill, all guards around her freeze in thier tracks, so does the boss, she looks around ready for anything and see's Wolverine and Emma coming from behind some pillars. "Logan!" she growls, "What do YOU want...." he explains to her that they need her for a black opps mission, she asks why should she when she's being PAID to do it with Shield, he replies, "What if mutey haters are the targets?...PUrifiers for instance?" She tenses... "If you've any sence in you...think about it dear...." Emma says. When she looks up, the guards are back out of their coma and she resumes to fight/kill them all again.
Angel is brought back in, eager to get vengiance on those who were responsible for taking his organic natural wings, and experimenting on him, (this was when Stryker was alive and leading the purifiers, and he DOES have flash backs of this in the movie).
Domino, is brought into the fold after breaking out of Rykers. She'd apearently attempted to assassinate a leader of a forgien country.
And of course members from their own acadamy who would not be as astranged to the topic of killing: Elixer, and Wolfsbane.
Vanisher WAS part of their team, but was let go due to constant rejection of orders and going on his own agenda within the mission, jeapordizing it.
In fact, it is believed that he MAY be working with the Purifiers to aid them in aquiring the Virus. The reasons why are unknown, but thats enough of a reason for him to be DEALT WITH.
Domino reveals the man she was framed in killing was not her target, she was supposed to kill a member of the Latverian Prime Minister's councel, a man who had dealings with the Purifiers before. She had been hired by the purifiers (unbeknownst), so that a mutant would take the fall for one of their members being let go for not commiting to the cause. She had said that it was ridiculous that they implacate her, she had assassination equipment yes, but for a PERSONAL asssasination, knife to the back. Not the stealth weaponry that would SEND A MESSAGE by sniper riffle. When she came to the room she was using to stay next to his hotel, she found it had been rearanged, and that there was now a sniper riffle in the window with a timer. Before she could examine it closer, it fired and killed the the Prime Ministers' aid. SHEILD took her away knowing her M.O. regardless of her evidence against her doing it, especially since (As she puts it) "I don't miss, when I want someone dead."
Then, former X-man, and Veterin, WARPATH. Warpath also has a vendetta against the purifiers for killing his friend Caliban. While he believes in honor and the honor that Xmen hold in not killing, having a chance to vent the loss of his comrad is NOT turned down.
Now assembled, the X-Factor is put to work to find the Purifiers base of operation, and to do it as covertly as possible, and where it comes to targets, take no prisoners.
Both Wolverine and X-32 says:"Sounds like fun..."
When they go on their first mission, it is to aquire information on the Purifiers next move, not their base of operation. The Purifiers are smart, and know that a sedindary base of operation is foolish when dealing with foes who have super abilities that can storm you. If anything, the XMEN taught them that much.
When Domino spills her info on how her actual target was Purifer member Vlad Manson/Latverian grand counsel, she says how the person they THOUGHT she was trying to take out was the equivelent of Fedel Castro, and so SHEILD didn't give her up to UN authorities because honesty his loss wouldn't be missed. Seeing this as a golden opertunity (Luck she guess's) she played along with it that she WAS trying to kill him.
NOW, this is all before its determined that Graydon Creed is her faceless employer. Their first mission involves them raiding a facility in Latveria which is rumored to be making medacines. However, Scott knows better that this may be the ideal place for Graydon to experiment on the Virus. Overseeing this opperation, is a Dr. Cameron Hodge who aside from his bio weapons research, specialised in vaccines.
It was believed that in his time in the U.S. that he was illegaly experimenting on dogs, and cats and other creatures to test his treatments. The Xmen however had a bigger version of the story, in 1998 when they made a raid on his complex, their suspicions were justified. He was experiment on human tissue, MUTANT-Human tissue.
He was never convicted of these atrosities but fled the country just the same and began toting the title of global provider for those who are sick. (A time magazine shows him huddled around little african children who are now in good health. Wolverine tears it up with his claws. (Has a flash back of him in old xmen uniform looking over a wrecked labratrory with dead children of the same age all over. Mutant.......dead children.)
When they make it there by X-jet. They break in, find a whole nother facilaty underneith it, where both chemical experiments are being tested, and where mutants are being used to ginny pig mutative trials.
Angel gets flash backs of when William Stryker had him hooked up to like machinery and gave him metalic wings, and instructions to kill Charles Xavier.
If it weren't for Wolverine ironicly, the X-men would've had to have stopped him for good to keep him from ending the professer.
When attacking the plant, they see Hodges escaping to the roof. Angel takes chase but is accosted by some like-altered mutants that Hodges baked up (Surge and Rictor).
Wolverine reminds X-23 that they're only supposed to kill Creed, Hodges and the big dogs. Those mutants have no idea what they're doing.
X-23:"So the only ones attacking us, we can't hurt?"
Angel:"Welcome to the not Xmen-xmen."
Wolverine also yelled out for Angel not to take Hodges out, but Angel after felling the mutants goes after him anyway. He fires his angel wings at the chopper taking off, making it crash into flame.
Wolverine chews him out, saying that they could've interigated Hodges, made him tell them where the Purifiers next move was. Angel Retorts saying:"Have they softened YOU up of all people thinking he didn't deserve that? Face it login, the only reason your acting so rational is cause Stryker's DEAD. You don't have anyone in this to make it personal!"
Elixer goes to reckage and confirms that Hodges was NOT on the chopper, it was a decoy, the real Hodges is long gone by now.
Domino pulls Wolverine aside about it asking him what the heck was wrong with him, "You know he's right, you and I are the only ones the Purifiers haven't hurt personaly that we've ALREADY dealt with. I took out my tormenter, you left Stryker for dead when you could've savedd him. You and I have no stakes in this other then knocking mutant haters around. The reason you chose these kids is because they have a chip on their shoulder they can only get off by ending the ones who put it there! You know what its like to go through that, what the heck are you going off sounding like Cyclops for?"
Wolverine:"Watch it poka dots!"
Domino goes on:"Hodges WOULDN'T have talked, he's a nut, they ALL are, they'd gladly die before-."
Wolverine:
"Don't you think I know that? Thing is Domino I'm not on this team just because I'm the best to lead a team vengful teens, I'm leading it cause I've lead a team before, and though I screamed and kicked the whole dang way, I learned that sometimes you can't go in beheading everything in your path, not beceause your angers wrong but because it makes you do stupid things. I want Hodges to get his, and I want Warren to be the one to give it to him, but this mission ain't about retribution only, its about doing the job right, which means kill'n em all in the right place at the right time. We're assassins, not Mutant thugs, not anymore. Otherwise we're just a bunch of crazies who were out killing everyone that hurt us while hell breaks loose on all mutant and human kind cause we were to stupid to do things right."
Wolfsbane sniffes the air, "No thats not Hodge, but it was his coat, he must've given it to him before he went on the chopper. He's going east, most likely in a Hummvee."
They tell Scott that he has a dozen or so mutants that'll need care back at the medical plant before authorities get there. "Get here quick Summers, cause we can't lose this guy, hopefully he'll lead us right to their next target."
Scott:"Or a trap."
Wolvie:"Count'n on it."
They get in the X-Jet and speed off towards the coast of Latveria after Hodges.
Thats all I have for a plot right now....but I now for the movie cast
Wolverine, would be of course Hughe Jackmen, if he stays. But if not, I say give Dougery Scott a go, he WAS after all auditioning for the part before he was.
Scott Summers would be played by Matt Fox, since he fits the bill as the Astonishing Xmen's type who actually LEADS the Xmen. Emma, (just there for five minutes), would be Maggie Grace.
Now, for the rest of the X-Factor:
X-23 would be Terminator's Summer Glua
She's got the look, and the martial arts skill.
Elixer would be played by Josh Hutcherson.
His love interest, and partner (reason for joining the team more then killing)
would be Alexis Bledel as Rahne Sinclair aka Wolfsbane.
Warpath would be played by Adam Beach
ArchAngel would be reprised by actor Ben Barnes
and Domino by Charlise Theron, good vibes between her and Hugh for playing mutants un afraid to take a life. Plus, they'd like each other.
Anyway, lastly Graydon Creed, the new leader of the Purifiers, he'd be played by
Michael Shannon, he could play a mutant hater very well.
There could be a real cool end where before Wolverine kills Creed, he says "So Login, guess that addled professors lessons of non violence didn't take did it? Killing a defensly human?"
Hugh Jackmen:"You aren't defensless." *Snkt* "..And you ain't human." *SNIKT* (dead).
