Chapter ONE

The introduction to a world of the

Unbelievable and extraordinary.

Have you ever had one of those moments in life or have you ever had a person tell you of a moment that sounded so amazing, so dramatic and so powerful that you thought that it would become an amazing story to tell the world. This is such a story! This story is of drama, action, love and power. This story is of the rise and fall of a great and powerful man who only wanted to save the world from the evil and destruction that the world was falling into. But that is enough of me spoiling the end of the story, for I should start telling you of how it all started. This is a story that a good and dear person told me about a man and his life's journey.

This story begins many, many years ago in the year of 1733, in a small English town used as a port on the east coast of England called Rochester. The town smelled of fish and of the sea, the sea spread out across the entire view from the shore line. The houses were made of wood and stone and were built heading up the shore. The town looked amazing and the view was even better. It is the 11th of March, a Friday in which a young man awoke to celebrate his 18th year of birth. This young man's name was Daniel. He is a scruffy looking boy with brown hair and eyes', standing at six feet tall, now in those days six feet tall was considered quite tall for the average male and amongst his friends he stood like a giant. Daniel was so excited for his birthday that not only did he jump up with joy but he also raced out of his parent's home without even allowing them to say happy birthday. Daniel's parents were a simple people working as Thatcher's for the town. Now for those who don't know what a Thatcher is, a Thatcher is a person who repairs, mends and restores buildings, boats and a many other things. They were the handymen of the day. Their names were Mary and Samuel Anderson. Now back to Daniel. In his rushed state he races off to the love of his life's home on the other side of town where the more wealthy families lived. Her name was Victoria. She was an amazing and non-judgmental lady who did not care of Daniel's status in town, or his wealth. All she cared for was his heart and soul and the kindness that he brought to her with each meeting they had. When Daniel arrived to Victoria's home he was greeted by her with hugs and kisses and an amazing present to which Daniel was surprised. Inside he found a gold ring, not a wedding ring but a ring with the letter D engraved into the face plating. Daniel was so happy that he picked Victoria up off the ground and started to spin around and kissed her. After this they both left for the beach head to have a picnic and enjoy the day together. The tide was rising as the day went past and you could see the water rising up the shore. There were flowers at the end of the beach nearest to town and shells throughout the beach. To Daniel and Victoria's right was the port and all of the boats and to their left were massive boulders. They had a blanket on the ground and cuddled up and enjoyed the calming sounds of the sea and the birds. They enjoyed some chicken sandwiches and some glasses of wine. They talked about how they would someday get married and have children. They talked about how they would run away from their parents and live more inland and raise a family there. As night fell and tea time came they left for home. During the walk to Victoria's house she hoped that Daniel would have a great night out at the inn and to not get to drunk. Daniel laughed and assured her that it would be ok. Hand in hand the continued their walk talking of the amazing times to come and the wish of never leaving each other's side. When they reached Victoria's home the kissed each other good night and Daniel left for home. His heart was racing and he was jumping with joy, he loved Victoria so dearly that he couldn't hold it in. yelling out at the top of his lungs, "I love you Victoria, I love you!"

After a hearty meal at home, Daniel went to the inn with his friends to celebrate some more and to enjoy his first ever beer. Now this inn was not your run of the mill inn it was also the only way for people in the town to get their mail. Yes a pub that also is a post office what funny days they were. Now the reason I mentioned the post office side of the inn was because this was where all the men that turn 18 find out that they have been drafted into the army. You can only imagine how the inn looked when a half a dozen people were getting letters to tell them to meet at the center of town to be sent off for training. Well as you might expect Daniel was one of these people. With fear in his heart and chills down his spine he read the letter. The letter told him to be in the town center in a week's time, to be sent off to a training camp and to only bring a small amount of personal items. He did not feel ready to fight in the army but he knew that there was no choice in the matter. He went home to tell his father and mother about the letter. His father being Ex-military was excited and proud that his son was going to follow in his footsteps. Though his mother was so scared she dropped to the floor in tears knowing that her only child was going to battle and may end up a corpse. His father said to his mother "this is an honor woman so shut your mouth and go to bed now." Daniel looked upon his mother with an expression that said to her to stand up to him, but she just walked to her room. That night Daniel was unable to sleep knowing the dangers of what he must face in the near future.

The next day Daniel was still in shock from the news of being drafted. He hated the army cause of how his father was towards him. He always had his strict rules and hit Daniel with a wooden stick when Daniel displeased him. Daniel never wanted to become his father, never wanted to be this cruel and evil man. All day Daniel walked around town trying to visit all his favorite places one last time in case he never returned. The last stop was to Victoria's. They talked for hours about how they would write to each other and love each other forever and always. They talked for many hours then late at night after a few drinks in the warmth of the fire, Victoria and Daniel went into her room and made love for the first time till the sun started to rise and the colors of the night and the small glimpse of sun shining on them and making Victoria glow ever so beautifully.

On the day that Daniel had to be in the town center, he packed his bag and made his way there. They were sent to a building where they received their uniforms and bags, then sent to a ship in the port to sail to the training facility. After only a week of training they were sent off on a ship to go to the west coast of France. The ship that Daniel was on was a beautiful oak wood ship with white sails, three masts and about a dozen canons. The journey to France took them two days, for they did not want to be seen by the French navy. In the two days all of the men were made to work hard and live off of only water, they had no food to keep up their energy. By the time they got to France everyone was starving and they were almost collapsing. But they had to continue on or face the whipping. By this time Daniel already wrote a letter to his beloved Victoria. In the letter he said; "My love only a few moons have passed by yet my heart feels as though I haven't seen you in years. All I think of whiles we sail is of the love we made and the love for u that is in my beating heart. I miss u like the sun misses the flower. Like the sun misses the flower in the depths of winter freeze. I pray that this war will end before I get there so that I can return to your arms. I love you with all my heart and all that I am." What Daniel didn't know at this time was that she will never get that letter and that it will stay with him forever.

They arrived in France and everyone ran into the fields and there they were, the French, all on their horses. The French charged at them, yelling with fury in the voices. Daniel and the rest of the English army charged back at the French waving their swords hoping to strike the enemy. The French ploughed through them all. Those that lived got up and all were running for their lives. They came to a point where many men were being slaughtered, then something happened, Daniel ran at this person, not knowing if it was from fear or from a burst of courage or even the need to survive. He was afraid and he was excited this would be the first person he had ever killed, and he killed him his blade sliced through the Frenchmen's body as if he was the wind. The Frenchmen's blood spurting out of his body and over Daniel, it was a thrill that over threw Daniel and he wanted more. He charged at every soldier he saw, he did not care who it was as long as he could feel that power again. He killed every one in his way which so happened to be his entire team, it scared him half to death; he didn't know what to do. He Then looked around and saw this man, not too far away who was covered in many slices from a blade, it appeared that he was going to die but then somehow he stood up and the slices healed up right before my eyes there was no scratches on him, none at all. Then the army found him and saw all the dead bodies around him. They then arrested him for treason but then as they were taking him away they saw that all of his wounds healed in front of them. Daniel couldn't explain how he healed just like that other man. He ended up being locked away and studied cause of it. All of his thoughts went to Victoria and the fact that he would never be able to see her ever again nor the light of day.

Years had gone by as Daniel was imprisoned, until the English decided to colonize a new land, a land they called America. Daniel was transported in a cargo box on a merchant's ship. He saw only the sky and felt the crashing of the waves upon the ship. He wasn't allowed food for the entire journey just so the other people on the ship didn't get angry. Because the crew new that he was a prisoner and why should a prisoner get food when the crew was starving? So Daniel was forced to starve. Months went by as they sailed to their new home; all Daniel could think of was of Victoria. Knowing that she had died and if she had children they would have passed away also. Daniel didn't understand how he could still be alive after so many years had passed. Not only that but he should have died from starvation as well. When they finally arrived at this new and great land they released Daniel from the box he was in and forced Daniel to do all the labor, erecting buildings and sewing fields for farming and when the natives attacked, they would send Daniel out to stop them all on his own. He had only his rifle and a sword to defend himself with.

Daniel's imprisonment went on for many years. He fought for the south of America in the civil war, fought in Germany during world war one and world war two. Now this is where it gets interesting. It gets interesting because of who he met and most of all re-met. Daniel was one of the poor souls that was shipped into the beachhead and try and make their way up to the cliff and take control of the cliff. As soon as the ramps dropped on the boats, bullets went flying at them hundreds killed within the first moments of arriving. Thankfully for Daniel he could heal his wounds when he was shot. But for those around him and had gotten to know, they were killed or wounded so badly that their lives back home would never be the same. After the first year in the war, Daniel was fatigued, starved and was nearly at breaking point. But the American army had him on a tight leash. When they saw him ready to break, they capture him and Para drop him into a known enemy base. That way he unleashed all of his rage upon the enemy. But this didn't solve the problem. It wasn't until rumors spread of a new super soldier was being created, that he was able to relax, well at least more relaxing then the war.

Daniel was taken to a research facility back in America, and was used as a lab rat for a new drug to create super soldiers. While there he was treated with great care, he got three meals a day and had a room (not a box or cage) to sleep in just like everyone else. Daniel finally felt like an equal for the first time in over two hundred years. The man, who gave Daniel this respect and kindness, went by the name of Howard Stark. Howard was a scientist, in charge of the super soldier project. Daniel and Howard got to know each other rather well during the testing stages of the drug. Then when the drug was ready they choose a young man to be the first super soldier. This young man's name was Steve Rogers. Now for a super soldier he wasn't much to look at. He was a tiny little man, of skin and bone. You would never have thought of him to be your first choice to be a super soldier. But he had the most important part needed, heart. He had the heart to be the greatest hero to walk the earth. So he became the first and only super soldier. And as a political stunt they called him Captain America. At first the Captain didn't't join in on the war but after a while he was shipped over and eventually became the greatest asset to the war.

By this time Daniel had been back in the war for months fighting "those who would harm the peace and freedom" that America stood for. Time went on and battles were won, till Daniel was able to get away for a time. He made his way to Poland and found it under attack by the Germans. He didn't't want to fight no more but when he saw families being killed and the screams of people as they were being enslaved, he knew that he had to help. He rushed into this small town, had about a hundred people living there, an attacked all of the Germans he could find. While Daniel was busy fighting, he didn't't notice the aircraft that flew over the town. Then nearby two soldiers landed and raced to the town. It was Captain America and some other guy. When Daniel noticed them he stopped fighting and aided Captain America in his mission. Daniel was introduced to the other guy, his name was Logan. Now at first glance Daniel thought he recognized him from somewhere but couldn't figure it out. But the mission came first so off they went. The mission was to extract all the civilians out of the war zone and to the safe camps in France. After several days they were able to get out most of the civilians out, it was just after that they heard of a slave camp nearby and decided to save them. Along the way they heard of a young boy that was in so much grief of losing his mother and father, that he was able to bend the bars on the gates using his mind. This made the three of them worry so they made has to the camp. When they finally were able to kill all of the soldiers and free the slaves, they found the boy he seemed to be just an average boy that was grieving and starving. They didn't see anything special about him, so they got him on a truck with all of the other freed slaves and sent them to safety. At this time, they didn't know that the young boy and they would meet again. That was the last of their mission and sadly for Daniel he was seen by someone from his old platoon and was arrested for being absent without leave. Just as they were arresting him he noticed that Logan had a few bullet holes and scratches on him. And before Daniel's eyes, they healed until there wasn't any sign of injury. Then it clicked, Daniel remembered how he recognized him, the day he was captured in France two hundred years ago. Daniel was enraged; blaming Logan for the reason he was enslaved and tortured. Yelling and cursing Logan's name, swearing to take revenge. Daniel was shipped off to a special facility in Canada, to be tested and experimented on. He was placed in an underground prison unable to see the light of day again.

Many years went by, many wars as well. But Daniel still lived on, if being imprisoned and experimented with living then yes he lived on. In the time that went he slowly forgot his name and only knew himself as a number, 4953. That was his new name, which was who he knew himself as now. The people holding him captive, over time, were able to find other people like Daniel, people with powers and abilities that no other human could do. They called us all mutants and wanted to use us as weapons to fight their wars and appease their political views. They eventually got bored with the experimenting and trying to enforce obedience so they decided to hold fights to see how we would go against each other. Mutant verses mutant. The prize for winning the fight was your meal for the day. Fight to eat sounds easy enough. Then Daniel met his first opponent, LOGAN. He had been captured as well and now it was time for Daniel's revenge for all those years ago causing him to be a freak and losing the love of his life. As the fight was being called the people that had us captive decided to make it fun and gave us all nicknames. Logan was the clawer, for his powers involve having bone claws. There was Sabretooth, Dead Pool, Dead shot, tech and the Transporter. But for now this was about the revenge fight. Now this wasn't your average fight. Just imagine an unstoppable force colliding with another unstoppable force. There was havoc and destruction. The fight went for hours. Nether falling, Logan clawing at Daniel and Daniel punching at Logan, till at one moment Daniel felt a pain in his hands and then claws grew out between his knuckles. The match was now even and this was the start of Daniel's awakening to his powers. After hours upon hours of fighting, the fight was stopped so others could fight. Daniel was taken back to his cell to rest for the next day, because nether Daniel or Logan won, nether got any food but this didn't matter, all that matter was fighting Logan again. The next day Daniel was lined up for another fight, but this time it was not Logan he was fighting, it was Logan's brother Victor Creed A.K.A. Sabretooth. Now Sabretooth wasn't like Logan. Yes he had the healing and the longevity, but he had claws for finger nails and was a beastly sized man. As they entered the pit Daniel was overcome with intense pain, he had a huge migraine, and then he started to show similar traits as to Sabretooth. Same claws, grew to a larger size, but of course were still able to heal. When the people that had them captive saw this the instantly stopped the fight and went to study Daniel.

They found that Daniel was able to copy all of Sabretooth's powers and still keep the ones he had. They were shocked and started to interrogate Daniel. They found that Daniel's true powers were not to heal but to copy any other mutant's powers and keep them; they just found their ultimate weapon. As most military psychos want, these guys wanted to have more ultimate weapons. This is when they started up a project, code named weapon X. the idea was to combine the powers of many mutants into one person and do it over and over. By the time that they had found a way to start this project the realized they need to test out something else. It was a new metal they found that if melted the solidified, it became indestructible. They called it adimantium. The first person they tried it on was Logan. The screams of pain when he was injected with this stuff could be heard throughout the facility. The idea was to inject the metal into the bones so that they became indestructible but only a person with the ability to heal fast enough and keep healing all the time was able to withstand the experiment and survive. When it was all done there was an explosion and lots of yelling and screaming. Not long after, Daniel saw Logan escaping the facility and soldiers chasing after him.

After a Couple of years Daniel was given the chance to aid in the military's plans to re-capture Logan. At first they sent a team of the other mutants that were there. But they were unable to stop Logan. Daniel Agreed to help them only so he can get his revenge. Daniel asked for only one thing to aid him, which was to have the adimantium injected into him. But Daniel wanted some differences. Not only will the claws in between his knuckles get injected but also his finger nail claws and he wanted three fin shaped claws coming out of the sides of his forearms. After the procedure was done and the pain was endured Daniel was briefed on the past attempts to capture Logan and of Logan's new identity, Wolverine. After the briefing Daniel set off on his new mission not knowing where Logan was.

Daniel traveled the entire globe in search for Logan; it took Daniel over 5 years. Some days he thought he had tracked him down but then he lost the scent. Other days he just relaxed and met new people and learned to appreciate life. As Daniel decided to return without finding him he went through a small town on the edge of the Canadian/ American border. In this town he caught Logan's scent and followed it to this little run down pub. Inside the pub it was crowded and noisy. The smells of body odor sweat and beer filled the room. There were Lots of people yelling and screaming in excitement over a fight that was happening in a cage. When Daniel looked at it properly he saw Logan in there, Daniel couldn't believe it he finally found him. But the first thing to Daniel's mind was not what you would have expected. Daniel was thinking of why Logan was here and what Logan had been through. Please understand that after all Daniel had been through the last five years, it had changed his perception on things. He realized that it wasn't Logan who was at fault for what had happened, but a freak accident that luck had befallen upon him. Hours went by as Daniel watched Logan fight against many opponents, never losing. When the crowed decided it was too much risk to fight Logan, Daniel entered the ring. Expecting Logan to recognize Daniel, guess again. Logan looked at Daniel as if he was just any other person. Daniel looked at him confused but still continued with the fight. While fighting Daniel was telling Logan that he had been searching everywhere for him and the years Daniel had been searching. Logan just kept telling Daniel that he didn't know who Daniel was. Then Daniel had a theory, maybe Logan Still thought Daniel hated him. So the fight continued, punch after punch, beating each other up like there was no tomorrow. After a while Daniel decided to let his claws out little and cut Logan just so Logan would stop and think about who he as facing. Daniel then quit the fight and went to the bar for a drink. As the crowds left and the bar was closing Logan approached Daniel and asked who he was. Daniel was very confused by this time he couldn't understand what was going on. Daniel explained that they had history many years ago. Logan then decided to let Daniel know that Logan had lost all of his memories up until a year ago. This explained a lot and Daniel was a little relived, that way Daniel could explain the past and not suffer the anger and effect of what the past held. Just after Logan explained the memory loss, a man the Logan fought approach us and demanded his money back and that Logan was a cheat. Obviously Logan was a cheat, he has mutant abilities. Logan brushed the other guy off and continued to drink his beer. Then out of nowhere a young girl yells out "watch out." Logan stopped the guy and pinned him to a wall with his claws. Then the guy behind the bar pulled a rifle on Logan. Logan sliced the rifle in half with his other hand then looked upon the girl, the look of surprise on her face made Logan think and stop what he was doing, then left the bar. Daniel followed Logan out and behind Daniel followed the girl. Daniel and Logan both got into Logan's van started to drive off. Now this van was a camper van and a huge dump. There was crap everywhere. As we hit a bump in the road we heard a noise coming from Logan's trailer. So we pulled over to have a look and we found the girl from the bar lying in the trailer. She ended up convincing Logan to giving her a lift. The girl's name was Rouge and Daniel didn't know it then but Daniel and her were going to become an epic legend. Sometime down the road a tree fell in front of the van and Daniel was knocked out cold, Logan went flying out the window and Rouge bumped her head and was knocked out. Logan ended up fighting Sabretooth and lost, but not before pulling Rouge and Daniel out of the van.

A few days later Daniel woke up inside of a medical room. He was in a panic, he got up and tried to find a way out of the room he had to find the other two and make sure they were ok. Then some people walked in and greeted Daniel. They were Jean Grey, Scott Summers and Ororo Munroe. They told Daniel that he was in a School for the gifted, in other words mutant high school. They tried to calm Daniel down and answer his questions. After a few minutes Daniel was given the grand tour of the school and was shown where both Rouge and Logan were. Hey were safe, Rouge was in one of the classrooms and Logan was in one of the medical rooms, unconscious. Daniel was then introduced to a person in a wheelchair his name was Xavier, Professor Xavier. The Professor asked Daniel a few questions about what the three of them were doing when Sabretooth attacked them and why he attacked them. With no clue as to why it all happened the Professor then asked Daniel if some tests could be done on him, the professor thought he might be able to help bring some light onto Daniel's powers. Daniel agreed and they did a few tests him. They found his body was surrounded by adimantium, just like Logan but Daniel had more claws, they also found that Daniel's power was not like any they had ever seen before. Daniel and Rouge shared a commonality, the ability to absorb powers. Rouge's powers were a little more complicated than that. She absorbed a person's energy, for mutants that meant she absorbed their powers, but for human's they lost their energy and could potentially kill anyone she touches. But Daniel's powers were more amazing, he could absorb mutant's powers and when he does that power went to its fullest potential instantly. And where Rouge would lose the power over time, Daniel kept it forever. The Professor saw Daniel as the most powerful mutant ever to live. After Daniel explained how he found out about his powers back in 1733. The professor then realized that it was a massive accident that Daniel was able live on into a word where mutants are so common. Back in 1733 mutants only came about ever so rarely that it would be a miracle for two to ever meet. The professor told Daniel that he was extremely lucky to have the first mutant power as healing. Daniel didn't see it that way but he kept that to himself.

Today Logan woke up and scared the shit out of Jean Grey, he went insane. He went through the entire school thinking it was a prison. Then Professor Xavier calmed him down and explained what had happened. Lucky for the Professor, Daniel was there cause Daniel was constantly telling Logan to calm down. The Professor also told them of his own powers of telekinesis and Empathy, but he did not show them so that Daniel didn't get distracted. After Logan settled in they went to see Rouge to re-ensure Logan that she was safe. Then we went on the grand tour. Saw the library, the common rooms and the classrooms. But most importantly, only because it's so awesome, they went to see the danger room. Now this room was huge it was the size of a professional basketball team's gym. It's used to help train mutants on how to control their powers. Daniel and Logan asked the professor if they could test it out. They definitely wanted to have a go, but they had to go at a trainee level. This level was for those who had no control what so ever over their powers and had no combat experience. Daniel explained to the Professor about the civil war and world wars one and two, but no they had to do the trainee level. It isn't matter because they flew through it. They didn't even break a sweat over it. Then they wanted to go higher but were not aloud, so they continued the tour. They saw the whole facility, even this giant plane they had which was under ground and rose up from under the basketball courts. The professor then asked if Daniel and Logan would like to stay there and learn more about themselves and the possibilities they could take and join their team that they called the Xmen. Logan said yes and Daniel was going to go wherever Logan went so he stayed as well. Daniel's schooling level was below average and because he looked like a teenager, he had to go back to school. He started schooling with Rouge that way he had a familiar face to ease him into the idea of school. Daniel and Rouge made a couple of friends called Pyro and Iceman. Now these two were showoffs, they were stupid enough to use their powers in class. Pyro, like the name suggests can manipulate fire, Iceman can freeze anything he touches. There was a rule of no powers unless in the danger room so they got in trouble, then without the teacher realizing Daniel showed them his powers. He made a flame just like Pyro but instead of manipulating a flame, Daniel created the flame from the heat in the air and then, with Iceman's powers of freezing, Daniel froze the flames and made an ice sculpture of a flaming dragon. Daniel gave it to Rouge and gave both Iceman and Pyro a grin as to say I can do it better.

The next class was a science class with Dr. Hank McCoy, a.k.a. Beast. His powers were extreme strength and flexibility, speed and senses. The side effects were he looked like a big blue beast. Daniel Gained a few new powers just as he walked into class, some of the people there had abilities that affected their skin and external features. Some Daniel had to ask to see, he gained at least fifteen new powers by the end of that class. Everyone in the class wanted to see Daniel's power but Beast said he couldn't. For a class project Beast let they make some stink bombs, everyone loves stink bombs.

The next class was in the danger room with Scott Summers. As a startup Scott showed them all how it all worked and what his powers were. He had the ability to shoot energy beams from his eyes. The bad side to it was that if he didn't have a special pare of eye protection, then his powers would be out of control and he would need to keep his eyes closed forever. His nick name comes from the eye protection. They were a single line that made him look like a Cyclops. Daniel instantly closed his eyes after seeing Cyclops's power. Everyone looked at him weirdly, Cyclops made sure if Daniel was ok and Daniel told him that he now had Cyclops's powers. Everyone laughed at Daniel and Cyclops remembered of Daniel's powers. Daniel and Cyclops went straight into the Danger room and locked everyone outside. Cyclops told Daniel to open his eyes and that it would be safe. Daniel opened them and nothing happened. They were both confused; Daniel did see Cyclops's powers but didn't obtain them? All the way from the other end of the school Professor Xavier felt their confusion and telekinetically told them that Daniel has the power to make the powers he obtains go to their fullest evolution. From this Daniel and Cyclops realized that Daniel didn't have to worry about losing control over his new power. Daniel then used the energy beams and had full control over it. Now that things were safe the class was able to continue. This was the time for Daniel to show off his powers but Cyclops only allowed 3 people in the danger room at a time. So Daniel asked if everyone else could watch him from the observation room so that they can see the awesomeness of his powers. Cyclops had no problem with it as long as they didn't fiddle with the controls. Daniel was so excited but then thought of something spectacular. What if Daniel went last and saw all of the others powers and then showed them back, that way everyone else would realize that Daniel had the ability to absorb powers. So Daniel went last, it's a good thing he did go last cause with all of his powers he would destroy the room before anyone else could have a go. So everyone went through the first level and Daniel got some cool powers as he watched. Then there were only 4 of people left so Daniel told Cyclops that he would go on his own. Cyclops agreed that way the other students wouldn't get hurt by Daniel. So the last group went in and failed the task. Just as the last group left, Daniel raced in and told Cyclops to make it a higher level setting then before. So he raised the level and Daniel began. This time it was a bit harder but still too easy. He passed the level with flying colors. Everyone was looking at him with amazement; all their powers were used by him and destroyed the danger room. There was nothing left. All Daniel could say was "oops, I went a little too far." Everyone went crazy with excitement and Cyclops was shaking his head while thinking of all the repairs that needed to be down. After that was teatime Daniel had a quite dinner with Rouge, Pyro and Iceman then they all went to bed.

During the night Logan had a nightmare of the past, fighting in wars and the procedure of when he got his metal claws. Rogue heard Logan yelling in his sleep and went in to see what was going on. When Rouge tried to wake him up Logan accidentally stabbed her through the chest. The look of shock on her face made Logan release what he had done and he then started yelling out for help. Luckily Rouge used her powers to gain Logan's healing ability and she survived but he was knocked out. When Logan awoke Daniel Cyclops, Jean and Professor Xavier went to talk to him about what had happened. Professor X stopped and went silent for a moment, he sensed that something was wrong with Rouge, she had run away. They all rushed into a room they called Cerebro, which is this big sphere, it helps psychics to find people around the world by amplifying their powers. The Professor found Rouge in the grand central train station.

Daniel and the others raced off with Logan to get to her and make sure that she was ok. When they got there, they had a quick look around to try and find her, Logan and Daniel found her on a train headed out of New York. Logan had a talk to her and was able to convince her to return to the school. As they all got up to leave, a guy that called himself Magneto tore the end of the train off and floated into the train. Logan tried to attack him, but as the name suggests magneto has the power to feel and manipulate metal. So because of the metal skeleton that Logan has, Magneto had control of him. Daniel tried to attack Magneto as well but, like Logan, Daniel was stuck by Magneto as well. What Magneto didn't know was that Daniel got Magneto's powers. Logan asked Magneto of what he wanted from Logan. Magneto laughed and said "why do you think that it is all about you?" Logan looked at Rouge and she made a run for it. As Rouge ran off, Magneto used his powers and through a tranquilizer dart at her. A second later Sabretooth climbed into the train and picked up Rouge and took off. Jean, Ororo and Cyclops slowed down Magneto's little team. They consisted of Toad: a man that had the abilities of a toad, Mystique: who can change her appearance and physical looks to an exact copy of anyone she wishes and can copy their voices to, Sabretooth which you all know about only he has a lot more fur now and last but not least Magneto himself. Now before Magneto released Daniel and Logan he had a long hard look at Daniel and then shook his head and walked off. As hard as Ororo, Cyclops and Jean tried they just weren't powerful enough to stop Magneto's team. The professor then tried to stop them using his powers to control both Toad and Sabretooth. He was un-able to control Magneto due to a helmet that he was wearing. It was made specifically to protect the wearer from psychic abilities. After a little chat between The Professor and Magneto, the Professor was forced to let Toad and Sabretooth go and watch all of them leave in a helicopter. Daniel and the Xmen went back to the school and used Cerebro to find Rouge again but Professor X got sick from the machine and didn't have the chance to find her. After some time of grieving and worry (about two days later) Jean was repairing and maintaining Cerebro when she found the problem that made the Professor sick and she fixed it. She then had an attempt to find Rouge using the machine. It cause her sever pain and nearly knocked her out but she found a general location of Rouge. He was somewhere near the statue of liberty. Because Daniel had both Jean's and Professor Xavier's powers fully developed. Daniel searched for her using Cerebro and found her in the statue of liberty up in the flame part. The Xmen including Daniel and Logan flew there as fast as we could, using the jet plane under the school. As they arrived they used Ororo's powers of weather manipulation to make a fog cover them from site while they landed. As they all entered the building they noticed that they were not alone. Toad and Mystic attacked them and tried to slow down the Xmen so that Magneto's plan could work. When they defeated toad and Mystique they raced to the top of the statue and found Magneto. He used his powers to capture the Xmen and strapped them all to the walls of the statue. Magneto told Sabretooth to keep an eye on the Xmen and to protect Magneto; he told Sabretooth that when Magneto starts up his machine, by giving Rouge his powers, he would be defenseless. Before Magneto left he stopped and looked at Daniel and asked himself "where do I know you from." Finally he asked Daniel if he had a relative back in World War 2 that looked like him, (Don't forget folks Daniel hasn't aged a day since he was 18) Daniel told Magneto that it was none of his business. Magneto insisted that Daniel answered the question. Daniel told him that he was in World War 2 and so was Logan. Magneto looks in shock and then asked Daniel "Did you save a young boy from a Slave camp who had the ability to bend the bars that held his parents as they were taken away?" Daniel looked at him with a curious look upon his face and said "yes we did save him and with Captain America as well." Magneto chuckled and said "I was that boy!" Daniel was Surprised to see that such a young innocent boy turned into such an evil man. Questions of what happen to him? Why did he turn so evil? How did he survive without being noticed? All these questions, but no time to get the answers. The world needed to be saved from Magneto. Magneto turned around and went to go start his machine. The machine was able to turn all humans into mutants. After a bit of struggling Logan was able to get himself free from the restraints by stabbing himself in the chest and making it seem like he was dead. Daniel was able to do the same and got free. After a long fight with Sabretooth on top of the statue Daniel and Logan were able to knock Sabretooth off over the edge and he fell to what Daniel and Logan thought would be his death. When they return to free the rest of the Xmen they made a crazy and bald plan to stop the machine by destroying the center piece of it and freeing Rouge from it. Ororo used her powers to lift Logan in the air and Jean and Daniel use their psychic powers to steady his accent. He made it into the machine and was able to destroy it but at a great cost. Rouge didn't make it. Logan placed his bare hands upon Rouge hoping that her powers were still able to draw his powers from him to heal her. Seconds went by and no luck, Logan burst into tears and held her close to him the anger and sadness coming from him brought the entire team to tears. They all had hoped that Logan's powers were able to help heal her but it had failed. Suddenly Logan made a strange face as if the life was being sucked right out of him, then Rouge gasped for air as she revived from the brink of death. They were all so happy, as they left to go back home.

When they got to the ground and looked outside. Daniel and Logan didn't see Sabretooth where they knew where he had landed. They both looked at each other and with a look as to say, he is alive and we are going to have to deal with him again. They all boarded the plane and went back to the school. Now after all of these tragedies and dramatic events you would think that the story would end there. No it can't end, because we still haven't seen they epic tale that is of both Rouge and Daniel. So the story continues and that in which ends the first chapter of this story.
