[HD please]

ALL OF MY ASSIGNMENTS ARE DONE!! OMG I'M SO HAPPY!!! :D but now I have exams... wish me luck D:

Anyways, look! I finished it!! Turns out I only had 10 seconds left to edit :p I could have had this finished like a month ago. Yeah. I suck. Actually, school sucks.

I usually don't like uploading two days in a row, but this is a celebratory video so yeah! No more assignments for the term!!! :D

Onslaught's voice is kind of echoey but if you can't tell, I've written out the voiceovers below.

You know, I don't even know if I like this video but idc because it's done! :D & now I wanna make more dark!Charles videos... :3

► Storyline:
Charles has kept Onslaught at bay for most of his life but when he gets shot in the back by Erik he loses control for a moment & Onslaught seizes his chance to take control. Onslaught locks Charles away in an imaginary Cerebro and takes his revenge on Magneto. Charles soon manages to regain control but not before Erik has been sufficiently tortured. Time skip. Charles becomes depressed (I don't remember why but let's say it's because he is ashamed of what he did as Onslaught) and turns to drugs. Onslaught converses with Charles and convinces him that they would be better as a team. Charles eventually agrees but when he allows Onslaught access to his body, Onslaught takes full control and Charles is locked away once again. This time Onslaught (the ambitious little maniac) attempts to kill Erik & the other mutants in his plan for world domination. Failing to kill Erik, he instead takes control of Magneto and uses him as a tool. Considerable damage is done to both the mutants and humans before Charles is able to regain control once again. Or has he?

► Inspiration:
fanfiction.net/s/7150105/1/A-Spark-Neglected
I'm going to assume that this wonderful fanfiction was my inspiration. I honestly don't remember though because I started this so long ago. I would definitely recommend this fic. It's amazing & addictive. Ugh, Onslaught is just amazing. There's four stories in the series so it'll keep you going for a while... unless you're like me & just can't stop reading it because it's so damn good.

► Voiceovers:
Charles: You must think me so foolish. You've always said that they would come after us.
Onslaught: I've felt your agony. I can help you. You have the chance to be part of something much bigger than yourself. You'll possess a power no one can match.
Charles: I open my mind and it almost overwhelms me.
Onslaught: I have complete and utter faith in you. Are you ready?

► About Onslaught:
I don't read the comics but what I've gathered from the fanfic mentioned above is that Onslaught is basically the result of Charles' suppressed urges. He has the power to control people's minds but he knows he is better than that, which is why whenever he has one of these thoughts/urges it becomes part of Onslaught. Onslaught essentially becomes Charles' second, darker personality.

► Footage from:
X-Men First Class, X-Men Days of Future Past (it's mostly cam footage so sorry for the bad quality),Wanted & Trance (which I have't actually watched but plan to soon)

► Other unimportant ramblings:

Okay, this video has the messiest project file in existence. Like I'm not even kidding, there were SIX video tracks. Omg it was hell to edit.

Sooo, there is definitely a lack of dark!Charles videos on yt. You guys should totally make some ;) and then tell me about them because I want to watch them.

Apologies for the extremely long description.
