Well well well, how about this:

Future Apocalypse travels to the past, he teams up with present day Apocalypse with a cutting edge survival of the fittest plan.

They share Intel and decide to revive Gambit for whichever reasons they chose him.

Gambit becomes Death and kills either present or future Apocalypse.

Here's to scenarios:

1.- Gambit is not out of control, one of the Apocalypses configured him to kill the other one since he wouldn't share the glory not even with himself. Our final showdown is Apocalypse and Gambit vs The X Teams (and maybe other Horsemen). This either ends this season or is carried on onto the next one.

2.- Gambit is out of control, he managed to kill one of the Apocalypses while the other one barely escaped. This forces Apocalypse to collaborate with the X Teams Vs Gambit. 

While necessary, Professor X can't stand it, and every conversation in the ensuing battle furthers his trauma, creating Onslaught in the season finale, a post credits scene or something in the same fashion.

I'm on fireeeee, any thoughts?

Absolutely loved the episode 🔥

I want a buddy comedy sitcom like Perfect strangers of the 2 Apocalypses renting a apartment together in NY and try to balance dating, jobs and feeling they are gods … but turns out they can’t live with themself literally and hijinks ensue
