THE X-FILES - STRUGGLING TO EXIST

My version of what happens after My Struggle II, the X-Files Season 10 Finale

(Personally I think they should make a movie next. If it is the end of the world as we know it,

which it seems to be, I think they should make it epic.)

Disclaimer : Although I would love to, I don't own the X-Files. Fox does.

CHAPTER ONE

Dana Scully glared into the blinding light as it beamed down on her. Her heart pounded loudly in her ears.

She felt paralysed.

Move Dana… Move!

Her internal voice was screaming at her desperately. But she was transfixed, amazed by the sight above her. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. Hot tears stung her eyes as she fought against it and every fibre of her being was telling her to run, to get out of the way of the light, that it would be the death of her if she didn't move…

"SCULLLLLLYYYY!"

The sound of his heart wrenching cry finally made her come crashing back to reality. She gasped in shock as the air seeped back to her lungs and she blinked madly, trying to get the white light out of her eyes.

A single tear rolled down her cheek as her eyes seared in pain. She raised her hands to her face and placed her hands over her eyes and felt her heart racing madly. She felt her breathing quicken, panic setting in.

"SCULLY!" He cried out again.

"MULDEEEEER!" Her long, drawn out scream erupted from her as she finally felt the urgency come shattering down on top of her.

She needed to move fast.

Scully pushed herself to move away from the light and she gritted her teeth with determination as she spun round and faced Agent Miller who was still looking up at it, just as mesmerised as she had been. "NO!" She shouted and raised her hands to his chest. Without thinking straight she pushed him backwards, away from the light with all her strength, causing him to fall back against the car that he had brought Mulder in. His back crashed against the car painfully, and he slid down to the ground weakly, the virus taking over more and more with every second.

"Hey… Agent Scully?!" He exclaimed in shock. But Mulder was her priority. She couldn't stay with him and explain.

They needed to get out of the light, something just didn't feel right at all. Mulder knew it, that was why he had called out to her, to warn her.

She glanced around her madly and saw hundreds of people, weak and dying, all looking up to the spaceship in terror.

"EVERYBODY GET OFF THE BRIDGE! EVERYBODY!" She screamed to them all, tears now rolling down her face in horror. They looked at her in terror, the whites of their eyes so clear in the darkness. Scully felt the frustration and anger grow inside her. They didn't move. "GET OFF THE BRIDGE! RUUUUUN!" She roared.

They soon got the message. There was a deafening collective scream and then they were running, in all directions. There was no use driving, everyone was grid locked. Scully had to get Mulder out of the car and off the bridge, somehow. When she was convinced that people were leaving, she finally ran to Mulder. Her heart broke as she crouched down in front of him. She saw him sat in the same position as before, but his eyes were now closed.

She swallowed nervously, her emotions going into over drive as she grabbed onto his forearms and shook him. "Mulder! MULDER wake up!" She begged tearfully.

She felt the spaceship behind her. Fear trickled up her spine as everything suddenly felt incredibly hot. Something was not right at all.

"MULDER!" She shouted again, shaking him violently now. To her huge relief his eyes fluttered open slowly and darted about, trying to focus on her. She raised a hand to his face and held him steady, guiding his eyes to hers. When they finally locked she saw his body soften and knew that the fear and confusion was leaving him.

"S….Scully…" He said in a whisper. Scully shook her head and shushed him gently.

"Shhh Mulder, don't talk. Save your strength." She said tenderly, tears coating her throat as she couldn't believe that he was dying right in front of her eyes. Suddenly her brain suddenly clocked that she was still holding onto the IV.

All this time, everything that had just happened in the past few minutes and she hadn't dropped it. Scully gasped in shock as she looked down at the bag in her hand in disbelief.. She was even impressed with herself.

"Mulder, I need to give you this IV. Everything is going to be fine, I promise…" She started, reassuringly to herself more than to him, getting it ready as she spoke.

But suddenly there was a deafening noise from above them which made her cry out in shock. Mulder noticed too, and he opened his eyes wide and looked up at the spaceship, which was now glowing brighter and a sweltering heat was erupting from the light, making beads of sweat roll down his face.

"Scu… Scully…" He tried to warn her, but she already knew that they had to move.

"AGENT MILLER!" She screamed, not taking her eyes of Mulder. She placed a hand on his arm and squeezed him tightly. She didn't want him to think that she had left him.

But Agent Miller was already beside her, his eyes wide with fear as he looked at Mulder with worry.

"Yes..?" He breathed weakly.

"Agent Miller I need you to help me carry Mulder away from here, do you understand?" She said as forcefully as she could. Miller took a breath and nodded silently, beads of sweat now pouring down his own face. He looked ready to collapse. Scully felt panic rise in her throat. She wasn't strong enough to do it on her own, Mulder was completely unable to walk himself. She looked back at Miller and then back at Mulder, weighing up her options.

She felt her heart tear into pieces as she made the rash decision. She didn't know if it was the right one or not, but Miller was in better shape than Mulder, so hopefully he would make a quicker recovery.

Scully blinked back a frustrated tear and in a swift move, she grabbed Millers arm and then with her other hand she pushed back his shirt, then pushed the needle into his arm, inserting the IV.

Miller winced as the needle went in, he hadn't been expecting it.

"Woah… Agent Scully.. Thanks.." He started. But Scully ignored him and reached into the car, wrapping her arms around Mulder's shoulders and pulling him towards her. She gritted her teeth as he fell into her arms, his full body weight pushing her back. She grunted with the effort as she pushed him up into a standing position.

"AGENT MILLER! HELP ME!" She shouted in desperation. Mulder clung onto her tightly. He tried hard to get his footing, but he was just too weak. Miller scrambled to get up and holding his IV in one hand, he grabbed onto Mulder with the other, helping her support his weight.

"I got him! Let's go!" He shouted, and together they charged forward as fast as they could, pulling Mulder away from the light and towards the other side of the bridge.

"I'm sorry Scully… You should have left me.." Mulder mumbled into her ear weakly. Scully frowned with determination as they went as fast as they could. She ignored him, her heart racing and her mind focused on the task at hand.

"GET OFF THE BRIDGE! RUN!" She shouted to people as they ran past her, screaming and panicking.

It was a terrible sight. Mothers held babies and sobbed. Scully glanced to to her left as they passed a parked car, as she saw a man sat in the driving seat, already dead.

"Agent Miller? Talk to me! How are you doing over there!" She shouted across to him.

"I'm ok! I think the IV is working!" He shouted back to her. Scully gasped in relief and felt a tear roll down her cheek.

"Scully… Just…. Leave me…" Mulder rasped into her ear. She choked back an angry sob as she charged on, making it to the last part of the bridge.

"DON'T SAY THAT MULDER!" She blurted out between tears. "Listen to me Mulder, just hold on.. I'm going to give you an IV as soon as we are off this bridge. It's going to be all right!"

"That's so you Scully, you never give up.." He whispered, emotion clear in his voice. Scully swallowed another sob down as she knew that he was on the verge of saying good bye. She couldn't bear it. This was not going to happen.

"Keep talking to me Mulder, please… Stay with me!" She begged.

Mulder closed his eyes and felt his organs failing inside him.

He felt so close to death, but at least he was in Scully's arms…

PLEASE REVIEW! I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS FOR THIS AND IM NEARLY CRYING ALREADY..!
