Calm blue eyes stared into matching insane ones. Blackagar Boltagon, also knowns as Black Bolt, was trying to understand the reason for his younger brother's ignorance regarding their youngest cousin. He had permitted only himself, Karnak, and the Truthseer to be allowed to visit Maximus at this point. His wife was too emotionally unstable to deal with the madman, even though she had every right to be upset.

"My, my, brother! Can't you all just accept the fact that I have absolutely no idea where Crystalia is?" Maximus whined, pouting as he stared at his older brother through the glass.

Black Bolt shook his head as he walked out of the facility that was to be the permit home of his insane brother. Karnak, who was waiting outside the prison, kicked himself off of the wall and walked with Black Bolt.

"Any luck?" He asked his cousin.

Black Bolt didn't reply.

For days, the X-Men have been on the run from the humans that hunted them. They stayed close to the outskirts of towns and cities while in Upstate New York. Recently, they were staying in a cave, with little to no access to the media. Whenever a few of them went into a town, they'd catch whatever information they could from newspapers, televisions, and radios, but never a full report on anything. Evan also had a miniature television that worked when placed in the right area.

The news was all the same, though. Mutants had been revealed and were feared across the nation. The Xavier Institute was being examined and investigated, as was the Brotherhood house. The X-Men were wanted criminals.

Kurt ported around the cave, trying to find signal for the miniature TV. Crystal also had her phone, but it needed charging and wouldn't turn on. Not that she wanted it too. She would only be reminded of Pietro and his betrayal. Slumped down against the cave wall, she rested her head in her hands. She wanted to sleep. She needed to sleep. Her dreams were haunted by illusions of a madman, though. Looking up, she saw that her teammates managed to find reception for the TV and project the the image onto ice.

"Crys, can you see it okay?" Bobby asked her.

Crystal wasn't even looking at the screen, just listening to it. Either way, she gave a thumbs up. As soon as she did, though, Rogue and Logan came crashing into the cave. She jumped up as soon as quickly as her tired body let her and made her way towards the front of the cave.

Helicopters surrounded the entrance of their temporary shelter, telling them to surrender. Logan was ready to attack, but Scott wanted to stay on the defensive side. "It's what the Professor would have us do." He told Logan before the Wolverine hopped on his motorcycle and sped off.

Bobby made a path to their X-Chopper for Crystal, Rogue, and Scott to get across. Kitty, Jean, Kurt, and Evan immobilized the military without harming them before they joined the team and flew away. As they were flying the small TV on the plane started to work again, showing a news program.

"It's Juggernaut! He's loose!" Jean said as everyone tried to get a good look at the screen.

"And without the Professor…" Kitty trailed off.

"There's no way to stop him!" Kurt finished for her.

Jean tried to convince Scott to go stop the Juggernaut, but he was hesitant, convinced it would be the Sentinel all over again. Crystal nearly scoffed. The only way it would be like the Sentinel would be if an asshole betrayed his friends for a father who doesn't care about him. She frowned at the thought and crossed her arms as they flew to the scene of the destruction. Before they left the copter, Scott told them to focus on saving people first.

Kurt was the first to make an appearance as he saved the pilots of falling helicopters. The rest of the team perched themselves on a large rock. They went after the Juggernaut all together, using their powers against him. Kitty trapped him in a cement block so they could deal with the flooding dam.

Crystal and Jean levitated to the broken part of the dam. Crystal stopped the water from flowing down, but the pressure was building. Jean made sure that the water didn't get over pressure before Bobby froze it. It would have to work until they subdued Juggernaut.

The others tried to get the Juggernaut's helmet off of him, but that only seemed to fuel his anger and power, causing him to break out of the cement. He tossed Kurt at Jean, who hit Crystal as she lost concentration.

By the time Kurt got a hold of both of them and ported them to the top of the dam, Scott had taken off his visor and was blasting Juggernaut with all of his power. Occasionally, he would stray from the target, almost hitting the news crew. Juggernaut was pushing back with his full strength, though, and then grabbed a hold of Scott's face.

That's when the team rushed in to help. Bobby, Evan, and Crystal rushed at Juggernaut, getting his attention and attacking him. He swiped at them, knocking them away. Kitty and Rogue used this as an opportunity to sneak up on the unstoppable brick wall of a villain and have Rogue drain some of his powers.

He knocked her off of him and went after her, but Rogue, with some of his strength, managed to hold him back. She even was a challenge for him! She tossed him over her head and towards the bottom of the lake, Bobby freezing him in mid air. He went tumbling down into the lake, frozen in a block of ice.

As the military looked for the Juggernaut, the X-Men watched, waiting for them to find him. They couldn't though, but Scott said that it was too late for them to get Juggernaut. Most of the team went back into the copter, waiting for Scott, Jean, and Rogue. They came in a few minutes later, saying that they knew where the Professor was.

"How did this even happen?" Crystal said as the stasis fluid drained from the tank that the Professor was suspended in.

"That's just Mystique for you. She's full of tricks." Scott told her as the last of the fluid drained and Logan walked through the doors.

As the Professor woke up, Jean and Scott were right at his side. It only seemed right that they were there for him. The others wanted to be there, but they knew it wasn't their moment. No matter what, all of them were X-Men.

A very large dog sniffed around an old gas station, picking up on a scent. It was faint, but he caught it. Dog smell Crystal! Dog might find friend! He thought to himself as he looked at the old man who sat on the porch of the small convenience store. The dog, which was larger than a bear, wagged his small tail as the antenna on his head started to glow.

The man simply stared as a blue portal opened up and the dog jumped in it, barking happily. The portal closed. This wasn't the first time the old owner of the gas station saw something weird happen and he knew it wouldn't be the last.
