How "X-Men: First Class" should've Ended

“Today our fighting stops!” shouted Erik as he exited the land trapped submarine. He floated over the beach, parading the dead body of Hell’s Club leader Aidan Shaw. “Take off your blinders my brothers and sisters. The real enemy is out there.”

Charles couldn’t believe what Erik did inside the submarine. He can still feel the pain as the Nazi coin went in and out of Shaw’s head magnetically controlled by Erik. He tried to stop his best friend and companion however, he is now wearing the helmet Shaw invented to stop mind readers from entering his mind.

“I can feel their guns moving in the water their metal targeting us. Americans, Soviets, humans united in their fear of the unknown. They are running scared my fellow mutants!!!” Eric continued now walking towards Charles. “Go ahead Charles. Tell me I’m wrong.”

Charles probed into the consciousness of all the military ships floating in the salty waters in front of them praying and hoping that what Erik has just said was a lie. American agent, Moira MacTaggert watched in horror as he saw the confirmation in Charles eyes along with creaking of the ship’s heavy artillery, their cannons pointing at the shore in unison.

In a final attempt to stop the bombardment of the island, MacTaggert attempted desperately to contact the Americans but it’s too late. The order has been given.  

Fearing the mutants, both American and Russian fleets fired at the island. Mutants, from both sides, gazed in terror as the blue sky was blocked by missiles of all shapes and sizes all aimed to destroy them.

But just before the missile reached the bay, Eric raised his hands and stopped all the missiles in mid air. American and Soviet soldiers gazed in disbelief as all of their missiles failed to destroy the mutants. And now, with a turn of a hand, Lensherr changed the course of the rockets.

Charles knew what his bestfriend intends to do even without reading his mind.

“Erik, you said yourself we are the better men... this is the time to prove it” Charles reminded Erik. “There are thousands of men on those ships. They are honest, innocent men. They are just following orders.”

“I’ve been in the mercy of men who are just following orders...” Erik answered. “…never again.”

With that, Erik sent the missiles back to where it came from. In a desperate move, Charles tried to break Erik’s concentration by physically overpowering him. “Erik, stop!”

In the struggle, Xavier momentarily stopped Erik from destroying the fleets but it did not held up long enough. Erik regained power over the missiles.

Wanting to help, Moira pointed the gun and fires at Erik. Erik cunningly deflected the bullets using his control over metal however, one repelled shell unexpectedly hits Charles in the spine.

Erik watch in horror as Charles screamed in pain holding his lower back where the stray bullet had hit him. Charles dropped like a dead weight in the sand. Erick ran at his bestfriend’s side and using his gift, pulled the bullet out of Charles’ spine.

More concerned on his bestfriend’s current situation, Erik losses control over the missiles saving both the American and Russian fleet. The men on the ships rejoiced as they watch the missiles exploded in the sky or blow up at the open sea.

“I’m so sorry!” Erik said as he held Charles in his arms.

"You, you did this.” Erik accused Moira as he tighten the metal necklace around her neck.

On the arms of his bestfriend and with tears in his eyes, Charles raised his hand and gently touched his bestfriend’s face. “She did not do this Erik, you did.”

“I tried to warn you Charles!” Erik exclaimed with tears falling from his eyes.

“I want you by my side. I love you. We are more than best friends you and I. I know you can feel it too. Both of us, together… protecting each other and them. We want the same thing.” Erik pronounced. “Stay with me Charles. I love you!”

With that said, Erik passionately kissed Charles.

“I love you too Erik!!! But we do not want the same thing.”

Erik, remorseful and heartbroken, leaves with Mystique, Angel, Riptide and Azazel.
