XTreme Wolverine Season 2 Episode 12: ” Ties Of Blood part 2 (season finale)”
Written by Greg D’Angelo

A voice cries out saying: "Previously on XtremeWolverine," the following clips are shown:

1-From Rampage, Prof. Page introduces himself to Logan. He says, "Logan I need your help. Demons have been running amok and I need you to send them back to hell. If you accept, I can bring your wife Yuriko back from the dead."

2-From, Kiss Of The Spider, Gambit asks Logan, “When are you going to tell us about Yuriko?"

3-From Ties Of Blood 1, Nightcrawler tells Logan about how the Professor is going to do the ritual to bring back Yuriko.

4- From Ties Of Blood 1, The ritual begins, and Logan walks in seeing Yuriko's spirit hovering above him. She looks at him, points and screams, “YOU!” then fades away.

5-From Ties Of Blood 1, We hear Logan say: “Why Professor?! How could you betray my trust?" as he rides into Canada.  

Scene 1 (Fire In The Sky by Ozzy Osbourne plays here): Logan stops by a bar on his way to Canada. He sees there is no spots by the bar, so he takes a bike and moves it, so he he can pull his into the space. A man walks out, “What in tarnation are you doin` boy!?” “Just parking,” replies Wolverine. “Just be glad I didn’t do any body work,” he adds extracting his claws. The man instantly gets scared (wouldn't you be if YOU saw LOGAN?) and backs off. Logan pays him no mind, and walks into the bar.

Scene 2 (Ozzy continues playing until the end of this scene): In Magneto's lair, we see him and Sabertooth performing a ritual. “By the blood I pour, bring the soul of Edea back to me!” Magneto commands, as he cuts his hand with a knife. The ground begins to shake, as the blood hits the floor. Energy blasts out, and both men (& I use that term loosely for Sabertooth) are laid out. A deep voice is heard laughing. (scene fades out quick)

Opening Credits

Scene 3: Logan is drinking by the bar, when a man picks up a bottle and moves to hit him. “That wouldn’t be smart bub!” Logan says raising his claws. Four more men walk over, each drawing and opening switch blades. “Now that’s more fair,” Logan says, as he turns to slice at their hands. Each drop their blades in pain, but the 1st man cracks the bottle over Wolverine’s head. (OUCH!) He just shakes it off, and growls. He grabs the man, punches him, and then slams his face against the counter. He drives his claws into the counter as well, right next to his face. “Next time I won’t hold back!” The other 4 run, and Logan goes back to his drink. "Chickens," he says under his breath.

Scene 4: Professor Page is in his office contemplating on what happened between him and Logan. “Where did I go wrong? I wanted to help Logan. I wanted to suprise him by bringing Yuriko back to life, but something went wrong with the spell.” Page slams his hand into his desk, then feels a jolt of energy flow through him. The professor let’s out a scream. In his mind he sees Magneto and Sabertooth being hit by energy and knocked out. “This is horrible! What madness is this?"

Scene 5: James and Scott are watching a bootleg copy of Elektra on the TV. (let me say that this movie totally SUCKS!) “Boy, that sure is one hot chick!” says Cyclops. James nods with a sly grin on his face. “No worry, I will not tell Valerie.” “You’d better not or I may just wink at you.” “Think you can catch me?” Nightcrawler says, part joking and part bitterly (as if he didn’t take the threat lightly). Then a scream is heard from Page’s office. They look at each other, and they run off to see the cause. They burst in and see the professor lying in his chair. “Professor, are you alright?” asks Cyclops. “I just let out a scream of terror, what do you think?” “What happened?" asks Nightcrawler. “Trouble! We have big trouble! Scott, call Valerie in at once." Cyclops nods and he leaves to get Dr. Grey while James tends to the Professor.

Scene 6: In a cemetery we see an unmarked grave. It splits open, and smoke comes out. We then see shots of a city. The ground continues to shake, and people are scared. A giant shadow hovers over the street. (scene fades)

Scene 7: Upstairs, Valerie Gray is in her room trying to meditate. Suddenly, she feels something, and gets up to see. When she goes to the door, Cyclops barges in. "Valerie, the Professor needs you now!" he shouts. They then go downstairs. Both heroes walk into Pages office, and see James holding him, as he screams. She walks over, and helps calm him. “Professor, what did you see?” “Something evil.” His students now have an even more grave look on their faces. “What is it?” asks Valerie. “ “I do not know, I can only feel it. It's pure evil thats for sure. It’s coming closer! It’s almost here!” says the professor, and then he screams again till he passes out.

Scene 8: Page is asleep on the couch. “I have never seen him like this. He has always been able to handle whatever came along head on, but this is terrifying him,” says Valerie. “Well then, we must find it and and stop it," says Scott. Valerie and James nod. “James, we will need Logan, go find him. Meanwhile, we’ll go looking for whatever this evil force is.” James smiles and says: “Of course.” And in a puff he disappears. (scene fades)

Scene 9: Logan is in a snow covered cemetery. He is sitting by a grave, but we cannot see a name, as it is covered in snow. “Why can’t I ever find peace? Why does everyone have to go away?” Logan doesn’t know it, but not to far off he is being watched by Nightcrawler. “I can tell you why. It’s cause what goes around comes around. You ruined my life, and I returned it in kind!" he says not letting Logan hear him. “I guess I can’t stay here and whine forever, and I’m all out of money, so I can’t even get a drink.” He reaches over, and picks up an empty bottle of booze. He smashes it. “I should make everyone who hurt me pay!” Nightcrawler grins wickedly. He reaches into his pocket, and morphs into Sabertooth. “Time to die, dear brother.”

Scene 10: Valerie and Scott are driving around, but cannot find any sign of trouble. “This is hopeless!” Scott says, as he stops the car. “I know, but it’s a spiritual thing. We knew it wouldn’t be easy.” “Can’t you locate it?” She shakes her head. “I can only read human feelings, and with a limited radius.” “Great,” he says sarcastically. Val’s face turns to shock as she feels insulted. “What did that mean?” “I’m sorry,” he says putting his arm around her. “I’m just shook up with the professor all hurt or whatever has happened to him, and this unknown evil on the way.” “I know Scott, but as always, we have to stick together. We make it through anything.” He pulls her closer and starts to kiss her. However, she pushes his away. (SUCKAAA!) “No Scott, not here. We have work to do." He rolls his eyes, and with a sigh starts the car.

Scene 11 (Born To Be Wild By Stephenwolf plays throughout): Logan is driving on his bike down a highway in Canada. Out of nowhere, a huge boulder is thrown on the road, and Logan swerves just in time to avoid it but crashes into a few bushes. He is unhurt. He quickly gets up and looks around. He spots Sabertooth atop a nearby cliff. “Sabertooth?!” he growls, as he picks up his bike. He clenches his fist. “I’ll deal with you another time,” Logan says, jumping on his bike and taking off. Sabertooth walks out of site, and morphs back into Nightcrawler. He kicks some dirt and hisses, “You can’t run from me . . coward!”

Scene 12: Wolverine arrives back in New York, and is very tired. He heads straight to the mansion. He gets of his bike, and extracts his claws. He cuts his way in, rather then using his key. The camera pans up to show Nightcrawler waiting on the roof. Logan creeps into Page's office, and sees him sleeping. He looks down at his claws, and shakes his head. “You have to be awake for this!” (Sure, cause that’s more honorable of a murder?) He kicks the couch, and Page begins to stir. “What?! Logan, you’re back.” “Yes, but not for long.” “I see,” says Page. “I wish things could be different, but I respect your decision to leave. I am truly sorry for what happened. Can you forgive me? ” Logan stops to think. "I dunno Professor. You hurt me really bad. Maybe in time, but I I dunno if I can trust you again." Page nods then looks at Logan intently. “There is something I need to warn you about professor. James is trying to kill us.” “What?! Oh my.” Page closes his eyes, and senses James is angry. As he does, Logan moves in and is about to slash Page. “Hold it!” demands Cyclops. “Ah, the red-eyed freak. Think you can shoot before I slice him.” “You wanna chance it? This blast can move mountains!” “You’re to slow!” Logan jumps, and Cyclops fires. Logan lands behind Page and knocks Page to the floor, while Cyclops’s optic blast blows a hole in the floor. The professor opens his eyes, and sees Logan about to stab him. “Noooo,“ he cries out, but Logan doesn’t stop. His hand comes closer. Valerie walks in, and uses her powers to hold Wolverine more. He is now frozen in place, but still manages to bring his claws forward, and they are nearing Page’s throat. (scene fades out as we see Logan's claws near Page's throat)

Scene 13: An optic blast hits Wolverine, and pushes him out the window. “Is that the evil you sensed?” Cyclops asks the professor. “No, I sensed something truly evil, not just a man who has lost his way and all sense of hope.” They all stand in shock. “Wait!" cries the professor. “James is here, and he still bears a grudge on him for killing Edea.” They look outside, and see Nightcrawler appear before Logan’s unconscious body with a knife. “Don’t move!” Scott commands him. “You don’t give me orders,” James retorts. Cyclops prepares to fire at him, but Valerie stops him. “No! You might kill him!" Both she and Page turn, and hold him psychically. Edea appears before him, and says “Overcome them my son. Your love is stronger, and can avenge my death.” Nightcrawler nods. “Avenge me, and I might come back to give you the love that only a mother can give.” With her words, the psychic powers of Page and Valerie are dispelled, and James swings the knife down at Logan. “James, listen to me.” says the professor. “That is not your mother, it is a demon who has taken her form.” “You lie!” Nightcrawler hisses, and brings the knife close to Logan’s heart. However, it goes flying from his hand, and everyone turns to see Magneto. “He doesn’t lie to you, James,” says Magneto. Nightcrawler falls down in shock and in a fit of rage. “Overcome them my son,” says Edea. “James, I am your enemy, who would love to see you all dead. You X-Men are all that stands between me and a peaceful world for mutants. However, this demon is more dangerous then any mere mutant. I know this, for I summoned it.” Everyone’s face turns to shock. “I was trying to bring back my wife, but I brought back this demon thing instead.” “No, he lies son,” says the demon. James gets angry, and begins to get up. “I do not lie, I have no reason to lie or to help any of you. However, what I do care about is a safer world. PULMINU EXTOS!" says Magneto, as he slams some kind of mixture near Edea. She screams, and vanishes. James falls back down and begins to scream and cry. Logan wakes up, and upon seeing what just happened, shakes his head in disbelief. Page, Valerie and Scott go over to James. The camera pans down and on his belt they see a device. Scott picks it up. “She gave that to me last year. It allowed me to change shape. I am sorry for the trouble I've caused. She told me to bring Logan back to New York to see the ritual, so it would fail, and Logan would be mad and leave. She said she could only return if I sacrificed Logan, so that is why I did it. I just wanted my mother back.” James looks down and cries some more. Valerie and Page lay a hand on James. Magneto turns to James. “We all have our demons and our loses. Perhaps this is our punishment for not burying it?” he wonders. No one has an answer. Magneto begins to float away. Page only turns his head and says: ”Farewell old friend.” Logan gets up and walks away. Valerie senses him leaving and turns towards him. Page then shakes his head. “We have all been struggling with this for a while now, but we all know that Logan is in a place where he needs to be alone and work through his nightmare.” She closes her eyes and nods. “Right now," continues the professor, "We have the important job of helping James." “This doesn’t make any sense,” cries Scott. “Life’s tragedies seldom do Cyclops.” “Why do I get the feeling that there is much more to this then what we have heard today?” asks Valerie. “Because, there are many answers waiting to be be found, and many that will stay hidden. But we have time to look for them." The 3 then help James into the mansion. (scene fades out)

Scene 14: We see Magneto in a cemetery looking down at a grave. “I was wrong to try and change the past. Even if it could have been done, I have no right to disturb your rest. I love you my dear wife, but now it is time for us to say goodbye. If not it would be tragedy, so I must nobly depart." He gets up and fades away as the camera shows the name of the grave. It only says "EDEA."

Scene 15: Logan is sitting on his bike looking at a picture in his wallet of Yuriko. He shakes his head and puts it away. He then rides off, passing a sign that says; Now leaving New York. (episode fades to black)
