This is how I thought things were going to happen when I first read years ago that they were going to introduce Sentinels to the Last Stand….and what had happened in general. Thank goodness for fanfiction right? Hahaha. Anyways, let me know how y'all enjoyed the first chapter!

Things at Professor Xavier's School seemed like a normal day to the outside world; granted most people thought that it was just an upper class school for spoiled rich children. To the people inside it was a sanctuary from the outside world. Sadly people don't seem to accept those who are different. Whether they don't like certain things, if they are gay, or the big one that seems to not ever have died down, being a mutant. Something inside each mutant's DNA had decided to not be dormant. It was evolution speeding up. These were all things that Dr. Jean Grey had taught before she had passed away. Before anyone had known it, it was her wake. The funeral had already been over, and Rogue stood awkwardly away from the rest of the crowd. A part of her felt guilty that Jean had died; her power could have prevented Jean from going. She could have stopped the flood from the Blackbird couldn't she? She took a sip of water and looked out the window. She couldn't imagine how most of the people in the manor were feeling. She knew that a lot of them felt remorse and sadness, but some people were really affected by the death of Jean Grey. Logan and Scott seemed to be the two that made the most damage. She found herself walking out of the manor and towards where the teacher had been buried.

For what seemed like hours she was alone; until she felt a pair of eyes around her. She felt the jewelry she was wearing starting to move. A fear was building inside the pit of her stomach; she only knew of one mutant who could control metal. She squashed down the urge to rip off her gloves, and slowly removed one glove. She knew that her self defense could kick in at a moment's notice if she couldn't get skin contact. A branch snapped and she turned around and found herself shocked at who was there. There stood Magneto and John St. Allerdyce, but known to most everyone has Pyro. She still felt a little scared of the powerful mutant in front of her, but felt a little comfort that John was there. Before she could ask what they were doing here, Professor X came wheeling out. "It's alright Marie," he assured her, and she couldn't believe what she was seeing. If Logan was here, he would be going feral on them, but she knew that he wasn't here so there was no point in that.

Before she walked away, she smiled lightly at John. Despite being a part of the Brotherhood of Mutants, she held a soft spot for her friend. It was probably the reason of her and Bobby splitting up shortly after the events at Alkali Lake. She always felt guilty for letting John leave with Magneto. It appeared that Professor Xavier and Magneto were talking like they were friends. "Rogue," Pyro said simply, and she had stopped her walking. He took that as a good sign, and caught up with her. He didn't try to make it apparent, but he did miss his friends at the school. They were his only family that he had ever known since his hated him for what he was. It wasn't like he wasn't accepted at the Brotherhood of Mutants, but just seeing Rogue by herself made him realize that they weren't very different from each other. She seemed to be such an outsider despite the fact that she was surrounded by people like her.

"I'm glad you decided to come," she admitted to him, tucking a fallen strand of white hair from her face. "I think Dr. Grey would appreciate that you were here," he shrugged it off.

"So…how's Iceman doing?" he questioned, not even bothering to refer to him by his first name anymore. Ororo Munroe, Professor X and Rogue were the only ones attempting to even talk to him. He shrugged off that thinking, and decided to ask about Robert Drake.

"I don't even know anymore," she said, "Shortly after you left we broke up," she said. "Couldn't be with someone who is two faced," John was shocked, and then decided that he should tell her the other reason they were here. He was disgusted about what the homo sapiens had come up with; a cure for mutation. He felt sick when he had heard that from Magneto. "What's wrong?" she questioned. Before he could answer, someone came running up to them. He first expected the person running up to them would just glare at him.

"Hey Pyromaniac!" Jubilation Lee said smiling at him; Rogue was shocked as well. It seemed like no one had anything good to say about him. "What?" she asked, as she started blowing up a piece of gum in her mouth. "He is still our friend," she said in a duh voice. "So…you coming back?"

"Jubilee!" she groused. "Ever heard of being subtle?" she questioned.

"Subtlety is overrated," she said. "So…" she said, attempting to nitpick more at him. Rogue rolled her eyes, but realized this was the most normal things had been in a long time.

"That's not the reason-,"

"Was it for Roguey?" she questioned, and Rogue grabbed the Asian girl's arm and dragged her away from hearing distance. "Oh come on," Jubilee said; I was just having some fun," she said, "I don't do the sad things well you know that," she said, absentmindedly making a small firework like light appear in her hand. Before she could make herself any more vulnerable, she dropped the subject. They walked back towards John. Before they reached him, a loud rumbling noise surrounded them. "What the hell?" she questioned, looking up towards the sky. Large robots much like resembling the ones the younger students fought in the Danger Room were steadily heading towards them.

Lightning cracked and Ororo Munroe appeared from the skies seeing the robots. They zeroed in on her, and their hands started to glow. "Kids get out of here now!" she shouted, as a bolt of lightening appeared onto her hands. Lucky for her, she was alerted by Professor X of what information Magneto had. Not just about the cure but about the mutant hunting robots that were in place to get the mutants who were going to fight getting the cure. "Leave this sanctuary alone!" Storm had called out, hurling the bolt of lightning at the leading robot.

Not long after more of the X-Men and the Brotherhood coming from all corners of the school. "We got to get you out of here," Jubilee said to Rogue.

"What are you talking about?" Rogue started to object, but was pushed by John as a claw came down from the skies right where the three teens were just standing. John gestured with his hand and his trusty lighter lit up a flame. He managed to manipulate the fire to throw it towards the robot.

"Girl…unless one of us falls down," Jubilee replied, kicking her shoes off. "You can't suck anything that doesn't have life in them," she spat out her gum.

"Oh like you and your sparkles are going to-," John started to shoot back at her, but was cut off when Jubilee threw her hands out.

"Close your eyes!" She shouted, as her shades were pulled on and a huge flash disrupted the sensors on the robots. She ran to go help the younger and more afraid children who were running. As she looked around, she saw that many had become unconscious during this surprise battle. She bent down and saw Scott Summers lying on the ground. She gently touched his forehead, and felt his memories and pain enter her system. She pushed that down, and focused on the power that was inside of Scott Summers. She let go of his head, and saw that his breathing returned to normal. She focused her eyes at the robot behind Storm, and let out an optic blast from her eyes.

"Kid what are you doing?" she whirled around, and saw that Logan was there. She couldn't believe it; she felt angry at this point. How could he just leave and show up whenever he wanted to? She shook her head, and ran towards Professor X.

Storm had seen from the skies that the older students had started to reign the younger kids into hiding. Good she could focus on the battle ahead of her. Storm, you need to pull back…they are retreating. She heard Professor X's voice in her mind. She reluctantly started to float back down towards the ground and very well saw that the robots were retreating. She glared at Magneto before looking around at the damage done to the school.

"So…it seems like there is more to the story than meets the eye," she inquired looking towards Professor X and Magneto.
