"The Activation Of A Gene And A Move From Domino"
CHAPTER 1

Yugi was sleeping one night. When he woke up he found his eyes were yellow instead of amethyst and his hair was blue. Yugi sighed realizing what was happening and called New York's Xavier Institute For The Gifted. And more over Yugi's hair no longer denied gravity and lay limply at his shoulder.

"Hello?" Professor Xavier asked answering the phone.

"Hello, Professor Xavier, I need to speak to Kurt." Yugi said.

"Why is that?" Professor Xavier asked.

"I just need to talk to my dad." Yugi said.

"Oh, hello, Yugi." Professor Xavier said.

"Kurt, come to my office, Yugi is on the phone for you." He said telepathically.

Kurt teleported into Professor Xavier's office. Professor Xavier held out the phone to Kurt.

"Hello, Yugi." Kurt said taking the phone.

"Dad, how far can you teleport?" Yugi asked.

"Why do you ask?" Kurt asked.

"The X gene is now active in me and I'm starting to change." Yugi said.

"I can teleport to you and I'll be there soon." Kurt said.

"Good, I'll see you when you get here." Yugi said.

Kurt and Yugi hung up. Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami appeared in spirit form blinking in confusion behind Yugi.

"Yugi?" Yami asked in confusion.

Yugi spun to face Yami and nodded. There was a pop of smoke behind Yugi and Kurt appeared.

"Yugi..." Kurt started.

Yugi spun and smiled at his dad. Kurt smiled slightly and ran a through his sons hair.

"It looks like you're going to mutate like me." Kurt said sadly.

Yugi sighed as his dad deactivated his holo-watch and then his dad hugged him.

"Yugi!!! Your friends are here!!!" Solomon shouted upstairs.

"Dad...do you..." Yugi started.

"Do you trust them?" Kurt asked.

"With my life." Yugi said.

"Then call them up." Kurt said.

"SENT THEM UP TO MY ROOM!!!" Yugi shouted.

Soon Joey, Tea, Tristan, and Duke walked in and were a bit shocked.

"Guys, this is my dad. You've probably noticed my hair by now not mention my eyes." Yugi said.

"Yeah, what's da deal?" Joey asked.

"The chances double when both the parents are mutates like me and Kat." Kurt said.

"Mom's a mutate too?" Yugi asked.

Kurt nodded.

"SHADOWCAT GET UP HERE!!!" Kurt shouted.

Kat phased up there and smiled and hugged Kurt.

"Kurt, what's going on?" Kat asked.

"Mom..." Yugi started.

Kat looked at Yugi and gasped.

"The gene...oh Yugi..." Kat started.

"I know...I think I'll call in sick today." Yugi said.

"Don't blame ya dere, Yug." Joey said.

"Can you stay, dad?" Yugi asked.

Kurt reactivated his holo-watch.

"Yeah, I can." Kurt said.

Yugi smiled.

THE NEXT DAY

Yugi woke with a start and found the change was complete. He now had pointed ears, blue furry skin, 3 fingers and toes, and fangs and a tail. The Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami appeared in spirit form rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

/Yami...I uh.../

-Aibou?-

/Yeah, Yami./

-By the gods.-

"Dad!!!" Yugi exclaimed telepathically unknowingly.

Kurt teleported to Yugi's room.

"Yugi..." Kurt started.

MEANWHILE WITH JOEY

"Dad, can I talk to you?" Joey asked.

"What is it, Joey?" Mr. Wheeler asked.

"I just have this feeling you and mom aren't being completely honest with Serenity and me." Joey said.

"What are you talking about?" Mr. Wheeler asked nervously.

"Let's just say I found out Yugi's parents aren't like most people...they have this gene..." Joey started.

"Is it the x gene?" Mr. Wheeler asked.

"Not sure." Joey said.

"I have the gene and so does your mother, uncle and grandma on your mom's side." Mr. Wheeler said.

"Really?" Joey asked.

"Yes, my first name is Logan, your mom is Rogue, your grandma is Mistique, and your uncle is Kurt." Mr. Wheeler said.

"Yug's dad is my uncle? Wow." Joey said.

"Kurt is Yugi's dad...then that mean Kat is his mom." Logan said smiling.

"Yeah, but, Yug's dad called her Shadowcat. And what Yug's dad said makes me wonder somthin'." Joey said.

"That's Kat's X-Men name, Kurt is Nightcrawler, and mine is Wolverine, and what did he say and what are you wondering?" Logan asked.

"He said the chances double if both parents are mutates. And I'm wondering what grandma, mom, and your mutate powers are. Not to mention if Serenity and I will get powers." Joey said.

"Your grandma is a shape shifter and your mom absorbs energy with normal people leaving them in a coma and in the case of mutates she temporarily takes on there power, my power is accelerated healing. So my aging is quite a bit slower then most people. I was put through a surgery a number of years ago and ever since I've had no memory and have no way of know how old I am." Logan said.

"Dad..." Joey started.

Yugi picked up the phone and the phone ran at the Wheeler house. Joey ran and answered it.

"Joey..." Yugi started.

Logan leaned on the door frame watching Joey. Suddenly the x gene activated. Joey shapeshifted into his uncle. Logan smiled seeing this and walked over to Joey. Logan took the phone from his son.

"Yugi, tell your dad that his nephew just came into his mutate powers." Logan said.

"Dad, do you have a brother or sister?" Yugi asked looking at his dad.

"Yeah, I have an older sister. Why?" Kurt asked.

"What do you mean, dad?" Joey asked in confusion.

"Your nephew just came into his mutate powers." Yugi said in shock.

"Look in the mirror, Joey." Logan said.

Joey went to look in the mirror and looked shocked.

"What's his power?" Yugi asked.

"Your grandma's on your dad's side." Logan said.

"Grandma on your side's power." Yugi said telepathically unknowingly.

"Shapeshifting." Kurt said softly.

Joey came back his normal self. Logan smiled at his son.

"I'm gonna be leaving town very soon." Yugi said.

"Let me guess the Xavier Institute For The Gifted?" Logan asked.

"Yeah." Yugi said.

"I think it maybe best if your cousin and I went there as well." Logan said.

"Maybe you should call auntie before you leave." Yugi said.

"We will." Logan said.

"Good." Yugi said.

Kat walked in and gasped looking between Yugi and Kurt. Kat walked over and hugged her son. Logan sighed and hung up and looked at his son.

"What Yug say, dad?" Joey asked.

"He's leaving town, son." Logan said.

Joey shapeshifted into his uncle again and teleported to the Kame Game Shop in Yugi's room. Then Joey shapeshifted back to normal. Yugi spun to face Joey.

"Joey..." Yugi started.

"Yug...I uh..." Joey started.

"Something tells me uncle didn't get the chance to tell you that you and him will be following us to New York after he calls your mom." Yugi said.

"Really?" Joey asked.

"Yeah." Yugi said.

And my real last name isn't even Motou." He added.

"Den what is it?" Joey asked.

MEANWHILE IN THE XAVIER INSTITUTE

Professor Xavier was in the chamber with cerebral and detected 4 new mutates in Domino. He found out who it was and it was Yugi Wagner, Joey Wheeler, Serenity Wheeler and Tristan Summers. Not to mention their powers. He had the X-Jet readied and soon arrived in Domino the X-Jet was cloaked and he went to see Yugi first taking a holo-watch just in case he came into the Kame Game Shop. Professor Xavier smiled at the old man behind the counter fact was the old man was a wanted teacher in New York one who's X-Men name was Beast.

"Hello, Hank." Professor Xavier said.

"Professor Xavier...what brings you here?" Solomon asked.

"Tell me have you seen Kurt's son lately?" Professor Xavier asked.

"No…he's locked himself up in his room the only one he's let in to see him are his mom. Who can just phase in and his dad who can teleport in.

"Have you told him the truth about you?" Professor Xavier asked.

"No." Solomon said.

"I believe it is time, Hank." Professor Xavier said.

"Yugi, teleport down here I believe I know how you appear now and I have a holo-watch programmed to make you appear as you once did and your grandpa has something to tell you." He said telepathically.

Yugi teleported down next to his grandpa he then walked over to his Professor Xavier who put the holo-watch on Yugi and activated it. Solomon sighed and pulled up his sleeve and deactivated his holo-watch.

"Grandpa…" Yugi started in shock.

"Yugi…" Solomon started.

"I know force of habit." Yugi said.

"What brings you here, Professor Xavier?" He asked.

"Your new powers some you are unaware of. And fellow mutates." Professor Xavier said telepathically.

"Powers like what?" Yugi asked.

"Telepathy, telekinesis, phychotelekinesis, pyrotelekinesis, pyrogenesis, and mangokinesis." Professor Xavier said.

"Really?" Yugi asked in shock.

"What of the others anyone we know?" Solomon asked.

"Normally I wouldn't say but, from what I've seen of Yugi's past tournaments I'd say they wouldn't mind if I did. It's Joey and Serenity Wheeler, and the one you call Tristan Taylor." Professor Xavier said.

"We call?" Yugi asked.

"His real name is summers." Professor Xavier said.

"Scott Summers and Jean Grey's son?" Solomon asked in surprise.

Professor Xavier nodded. Everyone in the house lost consciousness. Jean in her and Scott's house felt this and started to run out as their son was coming home from school.

"Where ya goin' ma?" Tristan asked.

"There's trouble at the Kame Game Shop." Jean said.

"Jean, what do you mean?" Scott asked walking out.

"I felt something happen to Professor Xavier and him there." Jean said.

"But, the only reason he would come is…" Scott started.

"Yugi's mom and dad are mutates. His dad called his mom Shadowcat. His dad's name is Kurt." Tristan said.

"Tristan, the only reason the Professor would come is more then one new mutate." Jean said.

"New mutate?" Tristan asked.

Tristan, Jean and Scott all ran out and it took them 15 minutes to arrive at the Kame game Shop. When they got there they found only 2 downstairs. The two were Professor Xavier and Solomon. On top of the lap of the special wheelchair was Yugi's holo-watch.

"Kurt! Kat!" Solomon exclaimed and Kurt teleported down with Kat.

"We have a problem." Professor Xavier said.

"Kurt, my watch stopped working." Kat said.

"That means Magneto was here." Professor Xavier said.

"Where's Yugi?" Kurt asked with concern.

"Erik probably has him." Professor Xavier said.

A pop of smoke came and Logan and Joey had shapeshifted into his uncle before he teleported them there and then he went back to his normal self.

"Joey, Logan?" Kurt asked.

"I had dis bad feelin' Yug'." Joey said.

"He's been kidnapped." Tristan said.

"Tristan?" Joey asked in shock.

"I have the x gene too." Tristan said.

"Really what's your power?" Joey asked.

"Actually I have my mom's powers which are telekinesis, telepathly and a shield." Tristan said.

"Uh, actually that's not all you'll have. You're going to develop your father's ability but unlike him you will always have control." Professor Xavier said.

"Really?" Tristan asked.

Professor Xavier nodded. Kurt and Kat were both worried about what Magneto was going to do to Yugi. And who could blame them. And none knew including Professor Xavier that Magneto could reverse the polarity of a person's heart. If they were good and kind he could make them cruel and evil. But they would discover this very soon. Joey's cell phone rang and he answered it. It was his mother.

"What's going on, ma?" Joey asked.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!" He demanded in concern.

"Don't worry, ma we'll find Serenity." He said.

Joey hung up and looked at them. Solomon looked at Professor Xavier who nodded.

"We have to go to the Institute. Serenity has an active x gene and as well and in the Institute Professor Xavier has a tool he can use to track her." Solomon said.

"Professor Xavier probably has the X-Jet nearby." Kurt said.

They all rushed there and boarded the X-Jet.

MEANWHILE WITH YUGI, MANGENTO, AND SERENITY

"This room is build like the helmet Magneto build for me so Professor Xavier can't detect you." Came a familiar voice.

Except for the color he was wearing something exactly like Magneto, but, black and purple. And through the teen before her; his face was hidden he had the Millennium Puzzle visible around his neck. Serenity gasped in shock. Just then Magneto walked in and took off his helmet and his eyes were pupil less and dull. Serenity was in shackles.

"Yugi?" Serenity asked in shock.

Yugi chuckled evilly and used his mangokinesis to bring the Millennium Rod to his hand.

"What are you going to do to me, Yugi?" Serenity asked in fear.

"Simple, Serenity, I am going to make my rare hunters a group of two instead of one by use of you." Yugi said coldly.

Serenity was fighting against the shackles.

MEANWHILE IN THE INSTITUTE

"I can't track her for some reason." Professor Xavier said.

MEANWHILE WITH YUGI, SERENITY, AND MAGNETO

Yugi smirked and pointed the Millennium Rod at Serenity and then it flashed and her eyes were dull and pupil less.

Magneto, go and bring me Wolverine." Yugi said and Magneto flew off.

Yugi waved a hand and Serenity fell to her feet to her feet.

"Leave me." Yugi said.

10 MINUTES LATER AT THE INSTITUTE

Magneto grabbed what he thought was Wolverine. Then took him to his master. Magneto had no knowledge that the X-Men had a shapeshifter. 'Logan' was in shackles.

"Did you make sure you got the right one, Magneto?" Yugi asked.

Magneto cocked his head s bit confused by his masters statement.

"They have a shapeshifter. Go back and make sure got Wolverine." Yugi said.

Magneto flew off as the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami appeared in spirit form.

-Aibou?-

Yugi sighed slightly annoyed and took off his helmet and looked at Yami. 'Logan' gasped.

"Yug." 'Logan' whispered.

"Damn." Yugi said.

-What's wrong, Yugi?-

"Oh nothing, Yami, but, that's Joey." Yugi said.

Joey shapeshifted to his normal self. Serenity walked in. Serenity looked in and looked at Joey. Joey gasped in shock and fear seeing the look in her eyes. Then Joey noticed the Millennium Rod in Yugi's hand.

"YA USED DA ROD ON HER!?!" Joey demanded.

"That's right you see when Magneto kidnapped me he reversed the polarity of my soul. So basically the Yugi you knew no longer exists and only one can fix that and that would be my first mindslave Magneto." Yugi said.

Yami gasped when he realized that Yugi had made Serenity a mindslave and the Yugi he knew and cared about was gone. Joey growled and shapeshifted to Yugi and used mangokinesis and undid the shackles and sighed, going back to normal.

"Judgin' by what Yug said my guess is you're outta da puzzle right now, Yami. Know what I'm about to do is for his own good." Joey said softly towards the direction he sensed Yami.

"I'd think twice about trying anything, Joey, unless of course you don't mind being an only child you see I can kill Serenity with a single thought." Yugi said coldly.

"But, if you stay and obey every order she'll be just fine." He added.

Just then Magneto arrived with Wolverine who was in costume. Yugi put him within a shadow barrier. Wolverine took off his mask and looked at his children and then at Yugi and Magneto.

"Joey, Serenity would die with your 6th disobeyed order. With your first four your dad will loss each of his limbs and with your 5th I will send him to the Shadow Realm." Yugi said coldly.

Joey sighed in defeat. Yugi drew and it was two cards he knew well and he held the cards up they glowed brightly and a Dark Magician and Buster Blader appeared they were facing the shadow barrier.

"Mahando, Manari, it's been along time my old friends." Yugi said.

The duo spun and saw Yugi then they probptly knelt before him.

"My pharaoh, how may we be of serves?" Manari asked and Mahando was quite out of quilt.

"Oh Mahando, please do not started with the guilt trip now I am not in the mood. I need you to guard the man in the shadow barrier make sure no one tries to free him." Yugi said.

"But my lord, with all due respect perhaps it is unwise to have both of us guard him at least one of us should be with you as protection." Manari said and Mahando looked at them.

"I concur, my lord, I can handle this duty. I suggest that you return to the realm of the beast, Manari." Mahando said.

"Very well. But, I believe it is time that Jono and Mahali were reunited but, do me a favor and find and fill him on the fact that Jono has no memory of his life in ancient Egypt." Yugi said.

"I will, Pharaoh Atemi." Manari said and disappeared in a flash.

With that all the Buster Blader cards were useable again, but all the Dark Magician card were blank. Yugi put the blank cards in his special deck box. Yugi stepped towards Joey.

"Let me see your Red-Eyes a moment." Yugi ordered.

Joey sighed and searched his deck and once he found it he handed it to Yugi. The card glowed and soon the well known dragon appeared.

"Hello, Mahali." Yugi said.

Red-Eyes Black Dragon opened his eyes and opened his eyes and bowed seeing Yugi.

"As you can see, Joey, like Yami I had a pastlife in Egypt as Pharaoh." Yugi said telepathically.

"Yeah, the Buster Blader called you Pharaoh Atemi when he left." Joey said.

"May I, sire?" Mahando asked.

Yugi nodded at Mahando.

"His name is Manari. And I am Mahando." He said.

Yugi winced as pain hit him and soon it became so bad he couldn't help but scream sensing his charge in pain Manari returned to the human world Magneto just stood waiting for orders from his master. Manari gently placed a hand on Yugi's shoulder.

"Magneto, obey Manari's orders." Yugi ordered as he passed out.

"We've gotta get him outta dat armor." Joey said.

"Magneto, take the top part off him now." Manari ordered.

Magneto walked over and did just that. And when they did Manari and the others were able to see something was emerging from Yugi's body. Yami returned to the Millennium Puzzle worried for his Aibou. And soon there was a bright flash and something new was around Yugi's neck and Yami was acrossed the room in his own body. The thing around Yugi's neck was the Horus Shadow Puzzle and it was what had given Yami his own body again. And through unconscious Yugi compined two powers and sent Yami to the Xavier Institute. Where Yami landed in front of Jean Grey and Scott Summer rather unceremoniously.
