Chapter 1

It was a beautiful Fall morning in Bayville, NY. However, Professor Charles Xavier was unable to enjoy the cool breeze coming through the windows due to yet another nightmare ridden night. The past 2 weeks had been spent in a cycle of sleepless nights and terrible nightmares. With his telepathic abilities, the professor was no stranger to interrupted sleep but these dreams were enough to make him start questioning his sanity. He has decided that it is time to track down what is causing these dreams which means he will have to move the team temporarily overseas, to no other than Paris France. Good thing he never got around to selling that vacation home his parents had bought.

The X-Men were in the middle of a training session when the Professor shut down the Danger Room and told everyone to be in his office in 5 minutes causing a feral growl to escape Wolverine. "Alright gang, you heard the man," Logan snapped.

Once they had gathered in the study the Professor looked at each member of his team with a solemn expression. "You are all aware of my step-brother Cain and how he found the Cytorrak gem." At their nods, he continued with his story. "There has long been rumors that there is another gem of Cytorrak hidden elsewhere in the world. I believe that I have found the location of this gem." He stops to collect his thoughts and to decide how best to continue with his tale. "I have been monitoring the European countries fairly heavily lately what with the news stories from Paris that involve the heroes Ladybug and Chat Noir to see if there are any mutant abilities they possess. I have determined that the source of their power does not come from the X-Gene but two weeks ago there was a spike of activity around Paris. When I was checking it out I was assaulted by the power of what I believe was the awakening of another gem of Cytorrak. If that is indeed the case we need to be in Paris to stop whatever power has been unleashed."

"But if Paris already has heroes that can handle situations like these why do we need to be there?" Scott Summers AKA Cyclops questioned as he ran a hand through his brown hair. "The last thing we need right now is for us to overstep our boundaries with these new heroes and get more bad publicity. People aren't exactly fond of mutants as it is."

"While I understand that we do not want to draw more attention to ourselves I also firmly believe that Ladybug and Chat Noir are not equipped to handle the issue without some help. They just appeared a year ago and while they are capable of handling what has been thrown at them so far I do not believe that they have ever faced anything as massive as the Juggernaut." The Professor ran a hand over his bald head as he stopped to look over the students. "Does anyone else have questions?"

"So, like, we're going to Paris?" Kitty Pryde AKA Shadowcat was barely containing her excitement and the desire to hop up and down. At the Professors nod the brunette squealed and no longer stopped herself from hopping up and down. "How soon are we leaving? Do I have time to go shopping for some new clothes?"

She was about to continue when Xavier cut in. "We are waiting for the arrival of Amanda Sefton and then we will be taking off. I need all of you to pack your bags and be wheels up ready in a half hour. You can each only take 2 suitcases. Anything else you will need can be purchased when we arrive."

"Professor," Kurt Wagner AKA Nightcrawler interject over Kitty's excited squealing, "why is Amanda coming on this mission?" Not that he minded the fact that his girlfriend would be traveling with him but he was concerned with her safety if things got as bad as Charles had hinted at. His three-fingered hand messed with his tail to keep it from twitching too much. His dark blue fur covered all his body and his yellow eyes freaked most people out the first time they saw him. With his appearance, people usually mistook him for a demon so he wore a holographic watch when outside of the institute to keep from being harassed. Amanda knew what he looked like and accepted him without any issues.

"As all of you know Amanda has been studying the mystical arts with Dr. Strange when they discovered she had a natural talent for it. We will need her mystical experience to help us to defeat this new threat."

"But why not involve Dr. Strange instead of Amanda," Ororo Monroe AKA Storm questioned with a slight narrowing of her blue eyes. Her white hair was loose and fell to her lower back. Its whiteness contrasted nicely with her mocha colored skin as she also crossed her arms in agitation. "She is just a child and he has years of experience on her."

"I understand your concern Storm but in my recent searches I have discovered that the stone was more then likely picked up by a student in one of Paris' Lycée schools while on a field trip. I am going to need the team to get into the school and find the child before they fully awaken the gems power. If we are lucky they only found a small piece of the stone. If that is the case I am afraid it will draw the current holder to find any other pieces that are around the area."

Once all their questions were satisfied the professor sent them off to pack while Storm and Wolverine stayed behind. As the professor turned his wheelchair around to look at them from the window overlooking the gardens they saw how tired his brown eyes looked.

Logan, never one for beating around the bush, straight up asked, "What aren't you telling the kids Prof?" His deep black, almost blue hair was free from the black and orange mask that he usually wore and his blue eyes were studying the professor as he looked for unspoken answers.

The professor looked at the short hairy man with a small sigh. "I am extremely concerned that if the child finds all the pieces of the gem that we will be facing another Juggernaut. Once I had decided on this course of action I contacted Magnus." Erik "Magnus" Lehnsherr otherwise known as Magneto the Master of Magnetism was one of the X-Men's strongest foes. The fact that Xavier felt the need to contact him spoke volumes on how worried he was about the situation. At the low growl from the feral mutant in the room the professor continued. "He was with Cain and I when Cain found the Cytorrak gem. He also has valuable knowledge on the subject and I know he has been vigilant looking for other gemstones to pop up. He has agreed to meet us in Paris with Gambit and Colossus. Those two will be helpful in monitoring what is going on outside of the school the students will be enrolling in. And you never know when Gambit's skills might come in handy."

With a sigh the Professor turns away from the 2 teachers. "Please go get yourselves packed. We will be wheels up in 20 minutes."

Meanwhile, across the Atlantic Pond, a certain blue eyed, blue haired girl was trying to work up the courage to speak with the green eyed, blonde boy that had been sitting in the school seat in front of her for the past year. Her red Ombre haired best friend was sitting with her face in her palm trying not to smack her clumsy, stuttering friend. "Girl, if you don't find a way to talk to him I am going to lock you two in a closet and not let you out until you do," Alya whispered to Marinette causing the blue haired girl to jump a mile with a little squeak making the two boys in front of them to turn around to see what was going on.

"Everything alright guys?" Nino asked while his bespectacled brown eyes looked at Alya hoping for a good answer. He was wearing his usual orange hat, blue shirt, and black and orange headphones hanging around his neck.

"Everything is fine, isn't it Marinette?" Alya poked her blushing friend in her arm causing her to jump a little again. Alya rolled her eyes. You would think by now she would be used to her friend's antics.

"R-r-right. Everything is good." Marinette was proud of the fact that she only stuttered a little. Over the last year she had become a little more comfortable around Adrien but sometimes she still got tongue tied when she didn't have time to prepare herself before she spoke. "We were just thinking that we should go to the zoo after school. They have a new exhibit with Butterflies."

Alya and Nino looked at Marinette like she was space alien. Did she say a complete idea without stuttering or mixing up the words? Adrien just smiled at his blue haired friend. "Sounds like fun. I actually have the afternoon off today so we can head over after school." Shortly after the plan was finalized the bell rang and the kids headed for their next class.

At the end of the school day they all meet on the school stairs and started walking towards the metro that would take them to the zoo where Alya's father worked. As they were walking along they noticed a news story that was playing at a nearby café.

"Once again American Senator Robert Kelly is calling for the mandatory registration of all mutants within their borders. He is also trying to increase the range of said registration by urging his supporters in the UN to also push for registration in all countries." The reporter wrapped up the news snippet and moved on the next story while the French teens started walking once again.

"I don't understand what the big deal is," Marinette stated as they started walking again. "Why is he so against mutants?"

"Maybe because they keep destroying parts of New York and other cities in the US?" Alya stated as she pulled up her phones browser to see if she could get any more information on whether the UN was discussing the possibility of registration.

Adrien, Nino, and Marinette stared at the blogger in confusion. "You actually support what he is pushing for," Adrien questioned while stuffing his hands into his pockets.

"What? NO! I just meant I can understand where he was coming from. He was the principal at one of the schools that was destroyed on multiple occasions," Alya replied with a shrug as her hazel eyes started scanning an article she found online. The kids continued to the Metro where they bought their tickets and boarded the subway headed to the area where the zoo was located.

As the teens were getting off the metro they heard a big commotion outside. Everyone looked at each other with exasperated expressions. "Can't we have one day without an akuma attacking," Nino whined. Nodding in agreement the other three ran out of the tunnel to see what was happening. What they saw was not an akuma but a massive figure covered in a green force field.

"What the heck is that?" Marinette exclaimed as she ducked to avoid being hit with some debris where the creature pounded the sidewalk.

"I don't know girl but I have to film this so it can go on the Ladyblog," Alya squealed before taking off for a better vantage point Nino hot on her heels to try to keep her out of trouble.

In the commotion, Marinette and Adrien found separate spots to hide and transform. "Tikki, what is that thing? It doesn't look like an akuma to me." Marinette asked the Kwami as she flew out of the pink purse.

The red and black kwami peeked out from behind the wall to get a better view of the destruction going on. "You are right that it is not an akuma, Marinette but it is still a magical force field that is covering the person/creature," Tikki pointed out as she narrowed her big blue eyes as she studies the creature.

"We have to stop him/her/whatever before they destroy everything. Tikki, Spots On!" Marinette cries. After transforming into Ladybug, she spins her yo-yo around and jumps to the roofs for a better look.

Meanwhile back in the Metro station Adrien had also found a place to hide before pulling Plagg out of his coat pocket. The black cat like kwami blinked up at him. "Is it time for Camembert," he questions hopefully.

"Nope, we have an issue to take care of first. Plagg, Claws Out!" Once transformed into Chat Noir, he hopped out of the Metro Station to find a better vantage point. Once up on the roof he sees his lady over a couple of buildings and jumps over to sit next to her. "Good evening, M'Lady," he greets with a flirtatious smile that was missed by the red and black superheroine who was too busy trying to find the best way to approach the figure below.

"Hello Chat. Do you have any idea what that thing is?" She questions without bothering to look at her partner.

Chat had been studying the green blob as well. "I have no idea. I don't see anything that would indicate it's an akuma. Let's get a closer look," he smirks as he uses his baton to propel him off the roof and towards the thing currently destroying the street.

He jumps in front of the green creature and crouches to look up at where the face should be. Instead of facial features all he sees is the vague rounded shape with indistinguishable features except for the eyes. The eyes were burning with what looks like green fire.

"What are you supposed to be?" Chat Noir taunts as he jumps towards the green monster in front of him. Smacking it upside the head with his staff, Chat was surprised when it bounced off without so much as a dent. Well, that's not good. Chat thought as he scanned for a weak spot. He jumped onto it's back and tried again to whack it with his staff. Again, all it did was bounce off and cause it to reverberate down his arms. Scowling, he jumped in for a third time but instead of hitting it with his staff he raked it across the back with his claws. This seemed to have gotten the creatures attention as it turned to look at the cat boy.

Smirking at his successful strike Chat rolled under the big arm that was swinging in his direction. As it passed over his head Ladybug's Yo-yo wrapped around it and she pulled with all her might using a nearby street lamp as a lever. Caught off guard at the sudden pull the creature stumbled a couple of paces before turning to see what had grabbed it. Looking at the yo-yo it pulled its arm in the opposite direction with enough force that Ladybug was thrown against the wall on the other side of the street. Chat rushed over to where his lady stood up and shook her head to try to clear the stars from her vision.

"That's not a good sign," Chat said as he checked her over for any serious injuries.

"Well, at least now we know for sure it isn't an akuma," She muttered crossly as she looks for another way to stop the monster.

"And how do we know that, bugaboo," Chat asks. He used the annoying nickname because he knows it will distract her from the problem at hand giving her brain a little break to hopefully find a different solution.

With a frown on her face at the use of the hated nickname she answered, "Because it didn't demand our Miraculous."

Nodding in agreement Chat was also studying the creature. "It doesn't like my claws, maybe I can slow it down enough for you to figure out a way to stop it from tearing up more of Paris." With that Chat was bounding back towards the retreating green figure. He jumped on its shoulders before tapping where the forehead should be. It didn't even phase the creature as it just reached up like it was swatting an annoying fly. Chat jumped to avoid the smack and used his momentum to rake his claws down the green blob's back and, once down far enough, he used his other hand to rake the back of the creature's legs. This got a yelp from the creature and caused it to fall to it's knees. Chat jumped out of the way as the downward motion caused some of the asphalt to crack from the force of the impact.

As the creature went to get back on it's feet it was met with a red beam. Startled Chat looked around to find a group of 6 teens and 2 adults all dressed in dark blue uniforms. Shaking his head to clear his vision, Chat realized he was not seeing things. The X-Men were really standing there ready to fight in Paris France!
