### Chapter 35: Awakening the Ancient One

#### Part 1: The Rise of Apocalypse

The ancient tomb of En Sabah Nur, buried beneath the sands of Egypt for millennia, began to stir. Energy pulsed through the ancient ruins as the dormant mutant awoke from his slumber. Apocalypse, the first mutant, had risen once more.

As he emerged from the tomb, his powerful mind reached out across the world, seeking those who would become his Horsemen. The ancient mutant knew he would need powerful allies to bring about his vision of a world ruled by the strongest.

#### Part 2: Gathering the Horsemen

In various parts of the world, mutants felt an irresistible pull toward Egypt. Some resisted, but others welcomed the call, drawn to the promise of power and purpose.

In Germany, Erik Lehnsherr, also known as Magneto, was rebuilding his life when he felt the call. With his family tragically taken from him once more, Erik found solace in the promise of revenge and power.

In New York, Ororo Munroe, known as Storm, struggled to survive on the streets. The promise of control over her powers and a place where she belonged lured her to Apocalypse.

Angel, a fallen hero with broken wings, found hope in the promise of restoration and strength. Psylocke, a skilled mutant with telepathic and telekinetic abilities, saw an opportunity to unleash her full potential.

With his Horsemen gathered, Apocalypse prepared to unleash his wrath upon the world.

#### Part 3: The New Team in India

Meanwhile, Harry and his team were busy with their own plans. They had been working closely with the Prime Minister of India and other key ministers to create a new team of metahuman heroes. The goal was to represent mutant powers as a gift from Deva, the divine beings of Hindu mythology, and to help reduce mutant hatred worldwide.

Due to their efforts in infrastructure improvement in India and some parts of Africa, Harry and his team had garnered significant support from the people and politicians. They had successfully built schools, hospitals, and water purification plants using their magitech innovations.

The leader of this new team was Suryan, a powerful mutant with the ability to manipulate solar energy. Suryan was chosen not only for his powers but also for his strong sense of justice and leadership qualities.

#### Part 4: Building the Team

Harry, Hermione, and Daphne sat with Suryan in a secure conference room, discussing the formation of the new team.

"We need to make sure this team is not just powerful but also respected and loved by the people," Harry said. "It's important that they see mutants as protectors, not threats."

Hermione nodded. "We should focus on community engagement. They need to be visible, helping people in everyday situations, not just in crises."

Daphne looked at Suryan. "Do you have any candidates in mind for the team?"

Suryan smiled. "Yes, there are several mutants I've encountered who would be perfect. There's Vanya, who can control plants and is very connected to nature. Rajan, who has incredible speed and reflexes. And Amara, who can manipulate earth and magma."

"Excellent," Harry said. "Let's start the recruitment process. We'll need to train them and integrate them into the community quickly."

#### Part 5: Apocalypse's Plans Unfold

Back in Egypt, Apocalypse was preparing to make his move. His Horsemen had gathered, each more powerful than ever before. Magneto's control over metal had grown exponentially, Storm could summon devastating storms, Angel had been transformed into Archangel with razor-sharp metal wings, and Psylocke's powers had been amplified.

Apocalypse's voice echoed through the ancient temple. "The world has grown weak and corrupt. It is time to cleanse it and build a new order, where only the strong survive."

His Horsemen nodded in agreement, their eyes glowing with newfound power. They were ready to follow Apocalypse into battle, to reshape the world in his image.

#### Part 6: The X-Men Prepare

At Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Charles Xavier sensed the rising threat. He gathered the X-Men, explaining the urgency of the situation.

"Apocalypse is one of the most powerful mutants in history," Charles said. "If he is not stopped, he will bring about the end of the world as we know it."

Jean Grey, Scott Summers, and the rest of the X-Men listened intently. They knew the stakes were high.

"We need to gather all the allies we can," Scott said. "This isn't a fight we can win alone."

#### Part 7: Joining Forces

Harry and his team received a message from Charles Xavier, requesting their assistance in the upcoming battle against Apocalypse.

"We'll be there," Harry said, reading the message. "This is exactly the kind of threat we need to prepare for."

Hermione and Daphne nodded in agreement. They quickly began making preparations to travel to the X-Mansion, bringing Suryan and his team along.

Upon arriving at the X-Mansion, they were greeted by Charles and the X-Men.

"Thank you for coming," Charles said, shaking Harry's hand. "We need all the help we can get."

Harry introduced Suryan and the rest of his team. "We've been working on building a team of metahuman heroes in India. They're ready to fight alongside you."

Jean Grey stepped forward, her eyes filled with determination. "We'll need all the help we can get. Apocalypse is unlike any threat we've faced before."

#### Part 8: The Media's Perspective

News of the alliance between Potter Industries and the X-Men quickly spread. Media outlets around the world covered the story, speculating on the potential impact of such a powerful collaboration.

"With the combined forces of Potter Industries and the X-Men, can the world finally stand a chance against the rising threat of Apocalypse?" one reporter asked.

"In India, the new team of metahuman heroes led by Suryan has already begun to gain popularity," another news anchor reported. "Could this be the beginning of a new era of cooperation between mutants and humans?"

Public opinion was divided, but the majority seemed hopeful that this alliance could bring about positive change.

#### Part 9: Preparing for Battle

The combined teams of Potter Industries and the X-Men spent days training and strategizing. They knew the battle against Apocalypse would be their most challenging yet.

Harry, Hermione, and Daphne worked closely with Charles and the X-Men to develop a comprehensive plan. They identified key targets and formulated tactics to counter Apocalypse's immense power.

"Apocalypse will be expecting us," Charles said during one of their strategy sessions. "We need to be unpredictable, use our unique abilities to catch him off guard."

Suryan and his team trained tirelessly, honing their powers and learning to work seamlessly with the X-Men.

"We're ready," Suryan said, his voice filled with determination. "We'll do whatever it takes to protect the world."

#### Part 10: The Battle Begins

The day of the battle arrived, and the combined forces of Potter Industries and the X-Men faced off against Apocalypse and his Horsemen. The ancient mutant stood atop a ruined pyramid, his eyes glowing with malevolent power.

"Behold the end of your world!" Apocalypse declared, his voice echoing across the desert.

Harry, Hermione, and Daphne stood at the forefront of their team, ready to face the challenge. "This ends now," Harry said, his wand raised.

The battle was fierce and chaotic. Magneto's control over metal clashed with Harry's powerful spells, while Storm's lightning battled against Hermione's defensive charms. Daphne used her Legilimency to disrupt Psylocke's telepathic attacks.

Suryan led his team with unwavering courage, using his solar energy to counter Archangel's deadly attacks. Vanya, Rajan, and Amara fought with everything they had, their combined powers creating a formidable force.

In the midst of the battle, Jean Grey's powers began to surge. She felt the presence of the Phoenix Force, its primal energy awakening within her. Harry noticed the change and quickly moved to her side.

"Jean, focus!" Harry shouted. "We need your help to take down Apocalypse!"

Jean nodded, her eyes glowing with fiery intensity. "I won't let him win."

Together, Harry and Jean unleashed a powerful combination of magic and mutant energy, striking at the heart of Apocalypse's power. The ancient mutant roared in anger and pain, but he was relentless.

#### Part 11: Turning the Tide

As the battle raged on, it became clear that they needed a new strategy. Harry called for a temporary retreat, gathering his team and the X-Men for a quick strategy session.

"We need to take out his Horsemen first," Harry said. "Without them, Apocalypse will be more vulnerable."

Charles nodded in agreement. "Divide and conquer. It's our best chance."

The teams split into smaller groups, each targeting a specific Horseman. Harry, Hermione, and Daphne focused on Magneto, while Jean and Suryan took on Archangel. The rest of the team engaged Storm and Psylocke.

#### Part 12: Defeating the Horsemen

Harry and his team approached Magneto with caution. The master of magnetism was powerful and dangerous, but they were determined.

"Erik, you don't have to do this," Harry called out. "You can still choose a different path."

Magneto's eyes narrowed. "It's too late for that, Potter. The world needs to be remade, and only Apocalypse can do it."

Hermione cast a series of defensive charms, while Daphne used her Legilimency to create mental distractions. Harry unleashed a barrage of powerful spells, pushing Magneto to his limits.

Slowly but surely, they managed to weaken Magneto, until he finally collapsed, exhausted and defeated.

Jean and Suryan faced off against Archangel in the skies above.
