Chapter 1: The arrival of Celestial

"You called for us professor?" A tall muscular man in blue and gold he had soft brunette hair, his eyes were not able to be seen, due to a yellow and red visor over his eyes asked as he walked into a large round room known as Cerebro, behind Cerebro's desk was a balding man in a hovering wheelchair.

"Yes I did Scott." The bald man acknowledged, "I have located another mutant, a class three, located in Chicago, Illinois. I want you an Jean to go search for him."

"So Magneto is going to be after him too?"

"Correct, this mutant is much like you Scott, he can project Optic Powers out of his hands, instead of his eyes."

"Right, Jean and I will go immediately!" Scott said as he turned and walked out.

'Good luck, to all of you.' The professor said as he watched one of his first students leave the room. He took a heavy sigh and turned back to Cerebro and began to monitor this new mutant.

"So, what info do we have on this mutant?" a dazzling red head, wearing a skin tight body suit showing off her curves and assets, a sky blue gem on her forehead asked as she and Scott walked down the hallway.

"His name is Jacob Prime, but he already has an alter ego…meaning he must have some control of his powers…he calls himself Celestial. He can fly and he shoots Optic Blasts out of his hands. Much like Alex." Scott said reading off a clipboard. He handed it to Jean, as she looked it over.

"This should be fun…like a second honeymoon." She joked, causing Scott to cough due to the unexpected outburst. She then put her hand over her mouth giggling. As they boarded the infamous long jet, sleek black in color, known as the Black-Bird.

Elsewhere in Chicago, it was dusk, as a cry for help was heard. A lone figures head pops up, the wind blowing his sand blonde hair, he had a blue mask with a white circle on his forehead, a skintight blue and white outfit with a soft bump on his chest, white boots with sky blue belts around them completed his ensemble.

"Showtime…" he whispers to himself as he stood up and walked towards the edge of the building, holding his arms outright he cringed in pain as feathers grew out of his arms. "I'll never get use to this." He said as he reached up and slipped a similar visor to Scott's and adjusted it to night vision, he leaned forward and plummeted to the ground before he extended his arms letting the feathers catch the wind as he soared into the sky.

He flew above ground, looking for the source of the scream. About three blocks away he saw what he was looking for, he put his arms to his side and dove down and rolled to a stop, the wings folding themselves back inside his arms. He stood up and walked to the ledge of the roof.

"I'd let go of her if I were you." He advised.

Suddenly the woman's form began to shift turning from a plain looking woman to a pure blue skinned woman with blood red hair, she wore a white dress that was slit up both sides, her thigh high boots matched her dresses colors, and a circle of golden skulls adorned her waist.

"What the he-" His words went unsaid, when suddenly flames streaked out of the attackers hands. The appearance of the flames caught him off guard. "Whoa!" He exclaimed leaping to his right.

He stood and glared as three more men surrounded him. "I dunno who you are. But you've messed with the wrong super-hero!" he shouted as he shot his arms forward, a beam of golden yellow and dark gold shot out of his fists hitting one mutant square in the gut, flinging him back. The mutant to the right leapt forward, and took a high spring into the air, the man in blue looked up and rolled to the side, and sent off a second energy burst, hitting the second one in the chest. He looked around, the third mutant was nowhere to be seen. He looked around, his fists smoking from the two bursts of energy, suddenly he felt a punch to his gut, he looked down and saw the third mutant, wearing a silver, and white outfit. The hero's attempt to counter attack was fruitless, as the third mutant identified as Quicksilver sped out of the way. Just as the hero was looking around, Quicksilver reappeared and delivered a right hook to his jaw causing Celestial to stagger.

"Who are these guys?" he asked as he wiped the blood off his chin.

"We are the brotherhood." A man behind the young male said. "And we could use your talents, forgive Pyro, Mystic, Toad, Quicksilver and Avalanche…they were instructed not to engage…but I'm glad they did. We got to see your powers…and I must say, you are quite astounding."

The hero leapt back and pointed his fists at the elder man. "Excuse me?" he asked a little offended.

"No, excuse me, I did not introduce myself properly. I am Magneto, leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants." The man said with a flourished bow. "I have a gift as well…" he said.

"What may that be?" the male asked as he looked ahead. He then spotted a car floating in mid air. "Cars cannot do that."

"No but I can…" Magneto said.

"Put the car down!" the hero said.

"Very well." He said as he let the car freefall, he smiled as he watched the hero gape at what he had done. "Bad choice of words, now what is your name?"

"I am Celestial…" he said "and I suggest you leave!"

"I'm sorry but we've come a long way. Just to meet you, so we cannot go back without you."

"Suit yourself!" Celestial said as he fired another optic blast, Magneto quickly reacted by bringing said car to shield him from Celestial's attack.

The explosion from the optic blast hitting the car was able to be seen from above.

"How much do you want to bet our friend is down there." Jean said as Scott nodded his head.

"Bringing her down." Scott said simply. As he lowered the jet above the battle-ground.

"The X-Men here? They must be after you as well…you have a choice boy…join them or join me." Magneto said as he turned, seeing Celestial unconscious for the attack, he stepped forward to grab him.

Just before Magneto could reach the unconscious male, a red beam of energy shot from the air stopping Magneto short.

"One more step and I'll blast your head off!" Scott threatened, "Jean lift him up, get him in here." He shouted as the red-head nodded her head and pulled him up with her own powers. After sliding him into a seat, Scott closed the door.

"You won't get away from me!" Magneto shouted, as he held out his hand, catching the black-bird.

"We can't go Scott!" Jean shouted from inside as Scott opened the door once again, and let out a second optic blast, hitting Magneto in the chest, as the blackbird took off to the sky.

"Hmm…something peculiar about that boy." Magneto said, he turned and motioned to the remaining members of the Brotherhood. "Lets go, I have a feeling we'll be seeing him again."
