ACT 1: A Normal Day at Artemis
Setting: Artemis Hospital Break Room. Coffee stains. Crumpled charts. A vending machine that ate someone’s last rupee.
(Doctors shuffle in, exhausted, looking like they’ve survived a war. In some ways, they have.)
Sheen (Rogue) (collapsing into a chair):
If I have to explain one more time that Google is not a licensed physician, I will absorb someone’s soul just for fun.
Laila (Storm) (rubbing temples):
A guy in the ER told me he couldn’t possibly have pneumonia because his aunt “manifested good health” for him. Guess who’s on a ventilator now?
Caleb (Gambit) (chugging coffee):
Somebody told me their uncle “cured his own tuberculosis” by eating raw onions. I want to fight him.
Max (Wolverine) (snarling, holding his head):
I had someone refuse a tetanus shot because “they don’t trust Big Syringe.” BIG. SYRINGE.
Noah (Professor X) (massaging his temples):
Why are people like this?
(Logan (Mystique) rummages through a dusty cabinet and pulls out an old, worn-out X-Men role-playing game.)
Logan (Mystique) (grinning):
Well… we could do this.
Max (Wolverine) (narrowing eyes):
No.
Kara (Jean Grey) (already picking up a character sheet):
Yes.
(Lights flicker. The room trembles. Reality shatters.)
ACT 2: The Battle Against the Mutant Diseases
SCENE 1: MRSA vs. Rogue
(A hulking, pulsating superbug towers over Sheen (Rogue), tendrils pulsing with antibiotic resistance.)
MRSA (Superbug) (gloating): No antibiotic can stop me! I evolve every time you try!
Sheen (Rogue) (cracking knuckles): Then it’s a good thing I don’t need antibiotics.
(She rips off her glove and slaps MRSA with her bare hand. The bacterium screams as Rogue absorbs its power—then explodes into harmless soap bubbles.)
SCENE 2: The Chameleon Virus vs. Mystique
(A swirling, constantly shifting entity looms before Logan (Mystique), changing forms—one moment it’s fever, the next it’s a rash, then pneumonia.)
Chameleon Virus: I adapt. I change. You cannot pin me down!
Logan (Mystique) (grinning): Oh, you think you’re the only one who can change?
(Logan shape-shifts rapidly—turning into vaccines, antiviral drugs, a literal quarantine sign—until the virus, overwhelmed, implodes.)
SCENE 3: The Fever Plague vs. Storm
(A molten, fiery entity ignites everything around it, raising temperatures to unbearable levels.)
Fever Plague (laughing) : I turn bodies into furnaces!
Laila (Storm): Not today.
(She summons a blizzard, freezing the Fever Plague in an instant.)
SCENE 4: The Mind Fog vs. Jean Grey
(A thick mist rolls over the battlefield, causing confusion as memories slip away.)
Kara (Jean Grey) (grabbing her head): No… no, my thoughts—
Mind Fog: Your past, your knowledge… all will vanish.
(Kara unleashes a telepathic scream, piercing through the fog, forcing it to dissipate.)
SCENE 5: Bone Crusher vs. Colossus
(Patients collapse as their bones shatter like glass.)
Janet (Colossus) (smirking): You picked the wrong mutant, buddy.
(She slams Bone Crusher into the ground, shattering him instead.)
SCENE 6: The Rash King vs. Dazzler
(An oozing monster spreads rashes at an uncontrollable rate.)
Nancy (Dazzler) (smirking): You like spreading things? Try this.
(She unleashes a dazzling burst of light, incinerating The Rash King into harmless flakes of dry skin.)
SCENE 7: The Pink Eye vs. Cyclops
(A massive, grotesque, red eye pulses with contagious energy, spreading infection everywhere.)
Ethan (Cyclops) (groaning): Oh, you have eye problems? Let me fix that for you.
(BLAST! The Pink Eye is vaporized.)
SCENE 8: Tetanus Claw vs. Wolverine
(A rusty, clawed disease snarls.)
Max (Wolverine): Claws, huh? Let’s see whose are better.
(One brutal fight later, Tetanus Claw is in pieces.)
SCENE 9: The Gambling Bug vs. Gambit
(A disease forces people into reckless, irrational decisions.)
Caleb (Gambit) (flipping cards) : You’re all about gambling? Man, you’re in my world now.
(Caleb throws a charged card at the bug, reducing it to dust.)
SCENE 10: Phantom Virus vs. Shadowcat
(An invisible virus tricks people into believing they’re sick.)
Emily (Shadowcat) (phasing through): You’re not real.
(She phases into its core, causing it to disappear.)
SCENE 11: Frostbite Syndrome vs. Iceman
(Cold energy surges, freezing patients solid.)
Mason (Iceman): Nice try. I do cold better.
(He absorbs the freezing energy, reversing it and destroying Frostbite Syndrome.)
SCENE 12: Rabid Rage vs. Beast
(A virus turns people into uncontrollable berserkers.)
Jake (Beast) (dodging an attack): Oh, so you make people angry? Have you met a doctor working a 24-hour shift?
(Jake outmaneuvers Rabid Rage until it collapses.)
SCENE 13: Shock Syndrome vs. Thunderbird
(People are collapsing at random.)
Olivia (Thunderbird): Oh, hell no.
(She unleashes a shockwave of her own, stabilizing the patients and neutralizing Shock Syndrome.)
SCENE 14: The Itch That Teleports vs. Nightcrawler
(Alarms blare. Mutant diseases rampage through the halls. Liam (Nightcrawler) stands on a toppled hospital gurney, scanning the chaos.)
(A strange, red-tinged rash ripples across the walls, jumping between patients, staff, and even inanimate objects. People scratch furiously, unable to stop the relentless spread.)
Liam (Nightcrawler) (grimacing) : Mein Gott… that is disgusting.
(The rash pulses, bubbling grotesquely before forming into a humanoid figure—The Itch That Teleports. The creature crackles with static energy, shifting erratically from one spot to another in rapid succession.)
The Itch That Teleports (grinning wickedly): You can’t stop me! I spread faster than you can blink!
(The creature vanishes and reappears behind Liam, latching onto his arm. An intense itch spreads over his skin.)
Liam (Nightcrawler) (eyes widening): Nein, nein, nein—this is worse than wearing wool socks in the summer!
(He teleports, hoping to shake the creature off. But as soon as he reappears a few feet away, the itch follows him, growing stronger.)
The Itch That Teleports (cackling) : Oh, teleportation? You think you’re fast? I can follow you anywhere! You’ll never escape!
Liam (Nightcrawler) (gritting teeth, scratching his arm) : You are a persistent little pest, aren’t you?
(He teleports again—this time across the room. The itch follows. Again, he bamfs away. And again, it follows. Each time, he moves faster and farther, appearing on the ceiling, behind an overturned desk, inside a supply closet.)
Liam (Nightcrawler) (smirking, muttering to himself) : If you’re going to chase me everywhere… let’s see if you can keep up.
(He teleports repeatedly, hundreds of times in mere seconds—jumping between patient beds, onto shelves, onto the ceiling, across hallways. Each time, The Itch That Teleports latches onto him, trying desperately to keep up.)
(Finally, in a blur of blue smoke, Liam reappears in the hospital freezer.)
Liam (Nightcrawler) (shivering, crossing arms) : Brrr… not my best idea…
(The Itch That Teleports materializes, but something is wrong. It twitches, turning pale.)
The Itch That Teleports (voice faltering) : W-wait… it’s… too cold… I… I can’t…
(The extreme cold prevents it from spreading. The rash retreats, shrinking into nothing before finally disappearing in a puff of frost.)
Liam (Nightcrawler) (dusting himself off, still shivering) : A rash that can teleport—but not handle the cold? Hah! You should have moved to Canada!
(He teleports out of the freezer, shaking off the last of the itching sensation, and returns to the battle.)
SCENE 15: The Pandemic’s Final Gambit
(Noah is possessed by the ultimate virus.)
Kara (Jean Grey) (reaching into his mind): Noah, fight it!
(Sheen (Rogue) absorbs Noah’s power, expelling the Pandemic from his mind. It screams and disappears.)
ACT 3: Back to Artemis Hospital
(The doctors wake up in the break room.)
Caleb (Gambit) (flipping a card): So… we never talk about this again?
Nancy (Dazzler): Or… we do it again next week.
(Lights fade as the hospital calls for them. They might be doctors again… but they know now that, given the right conditions, they could be X-Men.)
THE END.
(Or is it? 👀)
