Hello and welcome. I hope you enjoy and please review. This chapter focuses on the recruitment of the brotherhood.
Charles was in his car with Logan driving. They were outside the brotherhood house.
''Are you sure about this Chuck?'' Logan asked.
''Indeed I am. We need help with this monster.'' Charles replied.
''How do you know? We only saw it for a few minutes.'' Logan asked. He remembered the monster but it wasn't that bad.
''I went inside its mind. This is the creation of Legion.'' Charles replied, the every mention of his name brought sadness to Charles.
''I'm sorry.'' Logan replied. He could understand why Charles had wanted to keep it a secret.
''Its fine. I saw what the creature is, I fear the brotherhood won't be enough.'' Charles replied.
They left the car and walked up to the brotherhood house. Logan knocked on the door and Todd answered.
''W-what are you doing here, yo.'' Todd asked as he saw Charles and Logan.
''Hello Todd, we are here to discuss something with the brotherhood.'' Charles said. Todd looked at Logan, gulped and showed them in.
The brotherhood gathered in the living room. There was Lance, Fred, Todd, Pietro, Wanda and John.
''I'll be blunt. We need your help.'' Charles said. The brotherhood just looked at him, they were too worried to reply in fear of what Logan will do.
''Since no-one is going to say it, I will. Why should we help you?'' Wanda asked.
''This creature that calls itself Onslaught is dangerous. We need your help.'' Charles replied. A loud bang was heard from outside.
Charles, Logan and the brotherhood ran outside to see Onslaught.
''Father?'' Pietro and Wanda asked as they saw the monster.
''Onslaught.'' Onslaught yelled as it picked up Charles's car and threw it at them. Wanda fired a hex blast to move it out its way.
''Its me and you again bub.'' Logan yelled. He got his claws out and jumped towards Onslaught but stopped in the middle of the air.
''What is that in your body? Allow me to take a better look.'' Onslaught said. He started to make Logan's arms and legs bend before the skin started to peel and the metal was visible.
''Get him.'' John yelled as he fired a burst of fire.
Onslaught threw Logan into the house. He stopped the fire and pushed it back setting the house on fire.
''Onslaught stop this. We can help you.'' Charles said to Onslaught telepathically.
''You cannot help me. I am your darkest thought. Yours and the one you call Magnus.'' Onslaught replied telepathically. Charles suddenly realised why this creature had so much hate. It was the manifestation of Charles and Erik.
The brotherhood was doing everything they could but it was not enough. Onslaught was ready to finish them off. Before he could do anything a car hit him knocking him over. Erik then appeared. He was hovering in the air.
''I can control much more than that.'' Erik said as he made several more cars appear.
''And so can I.'' Onslaught replied. He threw Erik to the ground. Pietro ran over to catch him.
''Thank you. What are you?'' Erik asked.
''You.'' Onslaught replied. Erik looked confused but was pushed back.
''I need you.'' Lucas, the dark side to Legion called out to Onslaught.
Onslaught then used his power to lift himself in the air and disappeared.
''Charles, what is that creature?'' Erik asked.
''Us, the manifestation of our darkest side. All our demons, darkest thought and everything we could have been, it is that creature...Onslaught.'' Charles explained. Erik looked horrified. Logan walked out of the burning building.
''I think we are going to need more allies.'' Logan said. He was covered in burn marks and you could still see some of his metal bones.
''But who?'' Lance asked.
''Well first of all we need you.'' Charles said. He assumed they would come but wanted them to decide themselves.
''And we are in.'' The brotherhood said.
''So am I Charles.'' Erik said. Charles was pleased with this.
''Excellent. You can take up rooms at my institute. Erik I hope you will come, we could use a few extra teachers.'' Charles asked. He was hoping Erik would join them to fight this common threat.
''How did you know when we were in trouble?'' Pietro asked.
''You are my son. Don't ever think for a second that someone is not watching you.'' Erik replied. Pietro did not understand what he meant but Charles did.
The X-men and brotherhood were in the institute. They were arguing about being enemies. Charles and Erik walked in and the room fell silent.
''We have discussed the plan.'' Charles said.
''Hang on, what is the creature.''
''It is the combined dark side of mine and Charles. It was created by his son who calls himself Legion.''
''Talk about discipline.'' Bobby replied but no one laughed.
''He locked me in a mental institution.'' Wanda replied. It wasn't really part of the conversation but she wanted to point it out.
''Yes, we get it. We are bad parents. We were so busy with mutant peace.'' Erik and Charles replied. They both had guilt and regrets but they think that they can overcome it.
''So what is the plan?'' Ororo asked.
''We need to get more help. Which is why we have assigned you people we need you to get. We hope this will be sufficient.'' Charles said. Erik handed everyone a piece of paper saying who finds who.
''The ones who are not on the list will stay here and train.'' Erik said.
''Really, why?'' Rogue yelled as she read who she had to find.
''I'm sorry but you seemed to have a connection. If anyone could do it, it is you.'' Charles replied.
''Say hi for me.'' John said.
''Goodluck, you will need it.'' Erik replied.
