A/N: So I am going to try and revise the next few chapters, mainly chapters 1 and 2 because they didn't turn out how I wanted them to. They will still have a Princess Mononoke crossover action between them but I will try to keep that as minimal as possible. The main character will still live with wolves because it helps with the main plot. Please review if you like the changes. Also I will still update regularly when possible. Thanks.
The moon shined brightly over the Xavier School for the Gifted, as everyone inside slept soundly in their rooms. The nightly hours ticked away on the grandfather clock beside Charles Xavier's bed as the bald man slept not so comfortably. His eyes twitched behind his eyelids as sweat dripped down his face. The man woke up out of breath and drenched in sweat. The painful headache gave Charles enough information to know that Cerebro wants his attention. The man wheeled himself down to the computer room where a large screen began to light up the massive room with a blue light. The man wheeled to the center of the room and put on the metal helmet. Charles closed his eyes to see. The moon was full and glowed above a massive forest. The trees thinned out near the ocean to reveal a tiny village with tall cement walls. The people around the village rallied with anger and in the center as a tall woman gave a speech while off in the distance Charles could hear the howling of wolves.
"What is this place? What's going on Cerebro?" the man whispered to the machine, hoping it would give him some answers. In response the vision dive bombed through the tops of the trees, towards a small pack of silver wolves. Their fur glistened in the moon light as their muscles tensed with every move, bloody carcasses in their mouths. What drew Charles attention to the pack was that there was a person standing in the center of the pack of wolves as they walked towards a tiny cave. The vision turned black and Charles removed the helmet, sending out a telepathic message for his students to wake up and meet with him in the living room.
Xavier looked around the spacious room to find everyone circling around him, they all yawned and sleepily rubbed their eyes.
"So Charles why are we all here?" Logan growled, trying hard to not get mad at the bald professor.
"Cerebro has detected a new mutant, I'm sorry to have woken all of you up. Actually I believe I'm only going to need a few of you."
"So who do you need?" Kitty asked, yawning into her hand.
"I believe that Jean, Kurt, Logan, Ororo and you, Kathryn, will be best suited for this task." Charles replied, dismissing the others.
"So this has to be a serious issue if Ororo, Jean and I are going." Logan grunted, his eyes narrowing.
"You are correct Logan. There is a new mutant, I am unsure of their name but I am sure that they are in trouble."
"So where are they?" Ororo asked, already brushing through her silver hair.
"Greenland. There is a tiny village between the ocean and the forest."
"So we go to the village and grab the mutant then leave?" Jean asked, suspicion coating her tone.
"I'm afraid it is not that easy. This mutant doesn't live in the village, they live in the forest."
"Do you know if the mutant is male or female, Charles?"
"No Cerebro was only able to give me a brief glimpse so I wasn't able to tell, but I do know that there is a war there and I hope our potential friend is not apart, or cause, of it." With those finally fords the team suited up and headed for the plane.
Fresh coffee brewed in the back while Kitty and Kurt slept soundly in their seats, drool pooling in their mouths. Jean was staring out the window, fear circling in her eyes as she watched the sun rise above the horizon. Logan was steering the jet while Ororo gave him directions.
"Jean do you mind waking up Fuzzy and Half-pint? We're going to be landing soon." Logan asked, beginning his descend. Jean nodded her head and mentally shook her friend's shoulders while pinning up her vibrant red hair. The two teenagers quietly rose from their slumber as the jet landed a few feet from the cement guarded town.
"This village is very..." Ororo began.
"Barbaric." Jean finished, giving the elder a soft smile as they all exited the air carrier.
"Wow I wonder if they like have running water or plumbing." Kitty commented as they approached a large gate made of wood.
"Halt, who goes there?" a man called from the top of the gate.
"My name is Ororo and I am part of the X-Men. We do not wish to harm you we just want to talk." The silver-haired woman called out. Much to her pleasure the steel gate opened and allowed them all to enter.
"X-Men, why have you come?" a woman asked. She had dark brown hair that was tied up in a bun at the top of head and her bangs were perfectly cut so they were out of her face no matter what happened. She wore a large tan over coat that almost hid her plain black T-shirt.
"We found out there was a mutant here, and that they are in danger." Storm explained.
"She must be talking about the girl that runs with the wolves." "What's her name again?" "Alea?" several people whispered, their comments barely audible to the others.
"I'm sorry but there are no mutants here and if there were they wouldn't be in danger." the woman claimed, turning her back on them.
"Your little citizens say otherwise." Wolverine growled, pointing to a young group of women that huddled close to each other for safety.
"Nothing but rumors pass through this village but if you insist then come and have some breakfast. I take it we have much to discuss." The woman led the X-Men to a large, empty area. A few people were setting out a long wooden table accompanied by dozens of wooden chairs. Against the wall was a buffet that was being fully stocked with various fruits, vegetables, bread, meats and cheeses. They all lined up with silver plates and forks in their hands, loading their plates as much as they dared to while in the company of strangers.
"I have a question, if you do not mind me asking." Storm asked, looking at the woman.
"Ask away, for now you are our guests."
"What is your name, or what shall we call you."
"Ah yes, introductions. You may call me Rouche. What shall we call you?" Rouche asked, looking at the others.
"My name is Storm."
"Call me Wolverine."
"The names ShadowCat."
"I am NightCrawler."
"You may call me Jean Grey." after the introductions they all ate in silence, not wanting to break the truce that unintentionally formed.
The X-Men had stayed in the tiny village all day learning its history and how the people worked together. Men would go fishing or hunting, maybe even gather more wood while the women took care of the village and children. There was hardly any electricity and many things were hand-made, unlike the civilization that the X-Men were accustomed to. Of course the town would trade their goods and services with other towns every few weeks and they all helped each other out, there never being any true war.
The sun was beginning to set, casting long shadows inside and outside of the village. Many of the shadows were distorted from various fires that the villagers had lit. Everyone was mingling while a few men cleaned and loaded various weapons, mostly shot guns.
"Why do you have so many weapons?" ShadowCat asked, not taking her eyes off of the guns.
"For hunting." Rouche stated, Wolverine gave the woman a side ways glare.
"Just for hunting?" he asked, a snarl coming from his mouth.
"Yes."
"Why would-"
"She's here!" Someone yelled pointing up towards the sky. Everyone gathered around as the sun set behind the tallest building. A top the building stood a tiny figure, their shadow casting over the group.
"Who's that?" ShadowCat asked, squinting her eyes and trying to get a better look.
"Someone that is not allowed here. Shoot her down!" Rouche ordered. NightCrawler looked over to find several men pointing the barrels of their shot guns at the person.
"Vhat, no!" he shouted, rushing towards the men disturbing their concentration.
"What is going on? I ordered you to shoot her! Kill her now!" Rouche began to yell, reaching behind her back and drawing a silver dagger. Wolverine narrowed his eyes, drawing out his claws.
"Wait, Wolverine, this is not our battle. Not yet." Storm warned, watching the building carefully.
"No this is our battle. Furball, go warn that chick that she's in danger." Wolverine ordered the blue boy and he quickly vanished, leaving behind the smell of sulfur. The boy appeared beside the girl and he took in her appearance. She had vibrant silver hair that shined as if each strand was infused with moonlight. NightCrawler noticed that she had a pair of silver fur ears that were pointed much like a wolf's and she had silver tail that flicked back and forth nervously. Her outfit consisted of a short green leaf skirt and a silver shirt. NightCrawler wasn't able to see her face since she hid it behind a red mask. The mask had a brown tint to it and consisted of two black wholes that allowed her to see and yellow smile that crossed all the way across its surface. The last thing NightCrawler saw was the sharpened knife that dangled around her neck. The blade was covered by leather so it would cut her as she stood on the roof, not addressing the blue creature that appeared.
"Hello, my name is NightCrawler and I'm a friend." the boy took a step closer to her but she didn't budge. "Um, I hope you are not thinking of going down there." he closed his mouth when he saw her slowly nod her head. "You can't! They have guns and they vant to kill you!" NightCrawler rushed in front of the girl but was pushed aside effortlessly as she bolted down the roof. The boy tried to stand but stopped due to a seering pain in his chest. NightCrawler tried to call out to her but the pain grew more intense with every breath he took. The boy watched as the girl jumped off the roof and landed on the ground.
The girl rushed to the center of crowd with speed so fast that QuickSilver would envy her. She had taken the dagger from her neck and discarded the leather, making sure nothing would distract her from her goal. The person she targeted waited patiently in middle, surrounding herself with armed men. This brought a smirk to her face as she quickly took down the men closest to her and without missing a step flung herself at the woman with brown hair. The two then began a dangerous dance. Each held a dagger and aimed to kill but was blocked by the other. Metal hitting metal echoed through the tiny crowd along with the grunts and yells that came from their battle. Wolverine took a step towards the battling women but was stopped by Storm and Jean, giving the man a glare while shaking their heads.
The battle continued for what seemed like hours but was only mere minutes until a gun shot broke them apart. A smile crossed over Rouche's face as she watched the red and brown mask shatter from the girl's face. The dagger slipped from her grasp as she fell to the ground with a hard thud. Her silver hair covered most of her face as NightCrawler appeared behind his friends.
"Nice shot, but she isn't dead. Finish the job!" Rouche ordered the man as he reloaded his weapon.
"So that's what's going on, Furball get her out of here!" Wolverine ordered.
"ShadowCat you should go to just in case!" Jean called creating a mental shield around the girl. Kitty grabbed onto Kurt who held the girl in his arms.
"Vell Kitty let's get out of here."
