Disclaimer, I own nothing but the plot (or lack thereof), afew of the teachers, and the clothes on my back (barely own these).
August 27 - Sunday - Inductions
--------------------
1:00 AM Brotherhood Backyard, lots of gnomes.
The Brotherhood was surrounding a fire in their backyard. All of them were wearing red robes with HB on them that Pietro had custom made in less than a second. Standing by Fred was arcade wearing a black robe with no marks on it.
"Brother Webber." Fred began, "You wish to join the Brotherhood of Mutants."
"He's not a mutant." Todd yelled from his place in the circle.
"Really?" Fred looked at Arcade, "He has a codename, so he is close enough."
"That and he took over the X-nerd mansion." Pietro laughed from his spot.
"Continuing," Fred started over, "Brother Webber, you wish to join the Brotherhood of Mutants, and Human. Why should we allow you into this sacred group?"
"Because I am on a caffeine high and can't sleep?" Arcade stated.
"Good enough for me. Brother Webber you will forever be known as Arcade a honorary member of The Brotherhood." Fred tossed a red robe over Arcade's black one. "Let's eat."
"Woot." The boys shouted before digging into the stolen food.
Wanda stared at them. She was only dressed up because it was simpler to go along with their crazy cult like practices. "Do you guys ever use silver ware?" Arcade's Hand was stuck in the cake.
"No," Pietro said from were he was holding a slice of pizza in his hand, "Pizza is finger food."
"Is chili?" Wanda pointed to Todd who was using his hands and tongue to eat said food.
Todd thought about this for a few minutes before he began to scream "IT BURNS HOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOT!"
"That's The Duke's famous chili isn't it?" Arcade looked at the green hopping creature that was Todd.
"Really you know of it?" Fred smiled.
"I know that your family has 5 members wanted in nine countries for making it." Arcade moved away from the chili.
"We were framed. It was our family rival the Earls." Fred defended, "Fred Earls made some and said that our family made it."
"Fred Earls?" Arcade was beginning to rethink his choice of clubs.
"Ya, he me were born on the same day, same hospital, same time, were named the same, first and middle name, both are big boned, and he is evil. PURE EVIL ALL EARLS ARE EVIL!" With that Freddy went inside to plot the downfall of his families' evil twins.
--------------------
7:30 Torque House
"WHERE IS THAT BOY!" Mrs. Torque had gone into Arcade's room to find him gone and the window open. She wasn't really worried for Arcade she was concerned about her companies press conference, a smart child was good PR.
"He must have gone out with some friends, you never told him that he needed to be at the press conference." Jenkins Earls the Butler said after rushing to see what the problem was, "Excuse me I must go prepare for your guest." Jenkins was a well built man with dark black hair. Unlike the rest of his family he weighed less than 500 pounds.
"My son is a no good geek, what kind of friends could he have!" Now Mrs. Torque was getting mad, it was bad enough that Webber was gone, but Jenkins was supporting him. SHE paid his check, he should help her.
"I will call that Sarah girl and see if she knows anything." The butler said without flinching. He hated Mrs. Torque, he only put up with them because it helped his smuggling business.
"Sarah? He has a girlfriend?" Mrs. Torque was getting confused.
"No, she is merely helping him be more popular because he helped her get into college and get back at her boyfriend." The butler sniffed, he only knew this because Mr. Torque made him listen to all calls in the house.
Mrs. Torque didn't answer before Webber walked into the room wearing a red robe and covered in cake. His eyes were glazed over from lack of sleep.
"WHAT ARE YOU WEARING, IF THE PRESS LEARN YOU ARE IN A CULT IT COULD MEAN MY DOOM!" Mrs. Torque began to panic.
"I'm not in a cult mom, I was inducted into the Brotherhood." Arcade didn't realize that 'the brotherhood' sounded like a cult.
"THE BROTHERHOOD, THAT IS A CULT IF I HAVE EVER HEARD ONE, YOU CHANGE AND NEVER SPEAK OF THIS AGAIN." She didn't realize that Bob the Butler was, per her orders, giving the news crew a tour.
Trish turned to the Camera, "This is Trish reporting apparently Mrs. Torque, a high member of society, has neglected her family in a made grasp for power and money. This neglect appears to have lead her only son to join a cult that apparently has some ritual involving cake." Mrs. Torque's eyes went wide.
"Is that blood on his shoes?" Trish glanced at Arcades shoes which had ketchup on them, "This cult also appears to do demonic sacrifices to a god. I will attempt to ask the Young Torque what drove him to join this demonic cult."
"Mister Torque, I speak for the world when I say, why? Why go into this demonic group? Why participate in the slaughter of Innocent animals and people?" Trish had turned to Arcade.
"He didn't do it willing, Mrs. Torque here forced him to, the sacrifice was to appease the god that she believes in, tomorrow the Young Master was going to help kill his pet cat to bring luck to Mistress." The Butler smiled as he spoke, "If you were to search the basement you would see that the Mistress here finances the cult through drug trade."
"Really and you are?" Trish was really getting interested.
"I am Jenkins Earls, a butler here that hasn't until just recently realized the evil that the Mistress represents." The butler had a plan brewing in his mind, "Hopfully we can have this women locked away and the Young Master named the owner of the estates. He would have to be my ward for a few years, but I could manage the estates for him, I already do all the work."
--------------------
12:00 Courthouse
Being a very high profiled case a jury and judge had be assembled in hours instead of the usual years. After listen to the testimony of the entire waiting staff, all of which were promised a part of the Torque money by Jenkins, the jury had only to listen to Arcade description of the cult before passing a verdict.
"It was cold, a bunch of the people were standing around a bonfire which was roasting pigs alive." Arcade didn't feel like helping his mom or dad. As time progressed Arcade wove a long story of how the pigs were killed.
By seven the court was ready to pass judgment. "On the twenty counts of animal cruelty we find the defendant guilty. On the nine counts of child endangerment we find the defendant innocent. On the four counts of child neglect we find the defendant guilty." The juror took a drink of water before continuing, "On the thirty counts of drug possession with intent to sell we find the defendant guilt." That was the only charge with any evidence against it, even if it wasn't theirs.
"By the power invested in by the Courts I sentence the defendants to 57 years in prison, may your souls rot in hell for traumatizing your son like that." The judge hit his hammer ending the shortest trial in America.
--------------------
4:00 Torque House. Arcade is asleep after being awake for over twenty four hours.
"Yo, wazzup!" Arcade woke up when Todd burst into his room followed by the Brotherhood.
"Why are you guys awake after all this?" Arcade glared at them.
"These caffeine tablets do wonder for your sleep schedule." Pietro held up said tablets as his body shook at super speed. Pietro then gave Arcade three tablets.
After downing the tablets he felt awake. "So you guys see the trial?" He asked the gathered mutants.
"Yup, that was evil the way you tortured your parents like that." A tear formed in Wanda's eye, "I wish I could torture my dad, only without the courts."
Lance moved away from Wanda when she began to talk about various forms of torture she would do to her dad, most involved removing his powers and stabbing him with rusty metal in non vital parts. "Okay ... Wanda is in her happy place." Lance looked at Fred who was examining Arcade. "What's wrong Freddy?" Lance
"Who is that Butler who was talking about the drugs?" Fred asked Arcade.
"Jenkins. Wh..." He cut off remembering the last name, Earls, the Dukes' enemy. "Earls."
"That is the man who forced my Uncle Jenkins to stop working for the Rotate Family." Fred began to glare.
"Rotat Family? The family who was my mom's sworn enemy?" Arcade gasped.
"Toad, I'm starting to get scared with all these enemy's." Lance said backing up to the door.
"Me too." was all Todd said.
"I like this Uncle of yours, if he helped someone who hated my mom he must have been good." Arcade began to plot revenge.
--------------------
5:25 The Purple Pizza Plaza (pizza joint, only one that hasn't banned Fred).
"Pizza, breakfast of champions." Arcade looked at the large pizzas he had bought the group.
"It's dinner time, yo?" Todd looked at Arcade like he was crazy.
"Yes, but I haven't eaten since our induction, now I am going to eat before Fred eats everything." Arcade began to shove pieces into his mouth.
Wanda who until then had been in her happy place (not all of it involved torturing her dad) finally glared at them, "We should do something today other than ruin a life and eat."
"Huh? Sleep?" Fred wasn't very good at coming up with ideas.
"We'll do that later, I meant before bed." Wanda was starting to realize why the First Lady has all the power.
"IKNOWIKNOWINKOW!" Pietro was waving his hand a super speed making it a blur.
"What is your idea, brother." Wanda knew she was going to regret asking.
"We can torture X-Jerks." Pietro grinned at the thought of getting Bobby in a situation that could be used in blackmail.
"We can't they have a new security system." Wanda stated.
"I could hack it." Arcade pulled out a Laptop and started using the Restaurant's free wifi, "Look they didn't change their password since that party."
"We have our mission, lure all the X-Snobs out of the house, and then lock it behind them." Fred had a sudden burst of intelligence, then it was gone, "Then we'll eat."
--------------------
7:25 X-men House, The Brotherhood was gathered at the gates to the mansion.
"Okay here's the plan," Wanda had taken over once Fred's intelligence had faded. After listening to the plan the Brotherhood began a very long and painful game of ding dong ditch. Painful for the X-men who were trying to have a danger room session, and the bell was making Wolverine angry.
"WHAT IS THAT EVIL BELL DOING!" Logan tore a machine in two.
Jean's eyes closed as she concentrated, "It's the Brotherhood, and ... Arcade?"
"Didn't Arcade just have his parents carted off today?" Kitty looked concerned for her friend.
"Yeah, it was on the news, some cult and drug thing." Bobby had also heard that.
"Let's show them what it means to mess with us," Rouge was angry from the danger room session and was willing to take it out on the Brotherhood.
After a few seconds of arguing and an agreement not to hurt Arcade the X-men ran up stairs and out the door, even Xavier and Storm went out. That was a mistake.
The second that Arcade saw that the X-men were outside he tripped the mansion into a lock-down. This turned all the lasers onto the X-men and all the Brotherhood ran after Arcade changed the password to something less obvious than 'hankneedsagirlfriend'.
--------------------
8:55 Arcade by the Mall
Fred and Arcade were in locked in a challenging game of 'Mutated Fry Chief Shootout', Pietro was looking in a reflective surface, Lance was sobbing over a game of air hockey (he was playing himself), and Todd was carrying the money that Wanda was hexing out of the Coin Machines.
"Snookums, maybe we should leave." Todd looked at the strong security guard coming towards them.
"Not now." Wanda was obviously going made with greed over the money she was making. She stopped when she felt the security guard grab her shoulder, "DON'T TOUCH ME HUMAN." Her voice had a demonic sound to it, "YOU WILL DIE FOR DARING TO LAY A HAND ON ME!" with that she threw a hex bolt.
Sadly her aim was way off and she it one of those cheap lotto machines causing thousands of tickets to come out. As the young children and Todd ran to grab tickets (and leaving their money behind) the guard peed his pants and ran. The sight of the largest security guard in the business running caused the others to run in fear. Pietro finally noticed the commotion and wanting to get a mirror from the prize booth started to run around at super speed grabbing tickets. Lance decided that he could get a stuffed knight for Kitty if he took some also. Neither Fred or Arcade noticed as they were controlling their virtual chiefs in a disturbing game of murder and death.
--------------------
10:15 X-Mansion, Lance has a stuffed Knight.
When the Brotherhood finally got out of the Arcade, Lance had dragged them to the Mansion to deliver his Knight to his Kitty. The sight they found when they got there was that of the X-men cleaning up their destroyed security system which they had had to destroy to get back inside.
"Y'ALL DID THIS!" Rogue noticed the approaching Brotherhood before the telepaths.
"Yup, Arcade here changed your password," Wanda loved the fact that they had showed this other goth up, "You guys should have changed it after the party 'hankneedsagirlfriend'? What kinda password is that."
"WHAT WAS THE PASSWORD!" Hank glared at Wolverine who was in charge of security.
"HEY IT'S TRUE, YOU HAVE NO LIFE." Logan defended his choice.
"IGNORING THE FACT THAT IT IS AN INSECURE PASSWORD, DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO HAVE A LIFE WHEN YOU ARE BLUE AND FURRY?" Hank was pissed.
"NEVER STOPPED THE ELF, HE HAS AMANDA AND WANDA CHASING HIM!"
"WHAT!" Both Todd and Wanda screamed.
"I WOULD NEVER DATE THAT FUZZ BALL!" Wanda screamed.
"SHE'S MINE" Todd was also screaming.
"I AM NOT YOUR'S"
"But muffin..." Todd began
"NO NICKNAMES!" Wanda used a hex bolt to throw Todd across the yard.
"Hey Pretty Kitty," Lance was ignoring his friends, "I won you this Knight to go with your dragon."
"If by won you mean picked up tickets after Wanda's hex hit a machine then yes." Pietro snickered.
"WHAT!" Kitty screamed.
"I didn't steal the tick..." Lance began.
"I DON't CARE ABOUT STEALING, KNIGHTS KILL DRAGONS! JUST LIKE EVIL MEAT EATERS, DRAGONS HAVE FEELINGS TO, HOW COULD YOU BE SO INSENSITIVE. IT IS GOOD THAT LOCKHEED ISN'T OUT HERE HE WOULD BE INSULTED." Kitty wasn't the sanest person around.
"IT'S A TOY!" Lance screamed, "YOU LOVE A TOY MORE THAN ME!"
"THAT 'TOY' HAS FEELINGS TO!" Kitty screamed.
Fred and Arcade were watching from the sidelines as Hank an Logan began to fight. They watched Todd, Kurt, and Wanda fight. They saw Rogue jump in to defend Kurt. They saw Scott and Jean start to go at it because Scott never gave Jean anything. Storm and the Professor began to fight over salaries and the rest said 'screw it' to the cleaning up process as they helped random people.
The only X-man not fighting was Tabitha who was having to much fun egging on other fights, especially between Roberto, Sam, and Ray all of which liked her. After starting a few fights Tabitha went to stand with Fred and Arcade, "So, what's happening in the brotherhood land?"
"I am the new leader." Fred stated proudly.
"Really?" Tabitha grinned, "I bet you're better than rocky over there." She pointed to Lance who was being turned into a bloody heap by Kitty.
"I joined the Brotherhood." Arcade stated hoping to make her admire him, he had always like her.
"Really? You're human." Tabitha became confused at the thought of a human being with mutant supremacists.
"We let him join because he has a bad home life, and can beat you X-men." Fred stated, "And I'm the leader so I can do that."
"Really, what does Mags say?" Tabitha was growing confused.
"The boss man ran off when he couldn't pay his acolytes and Wanda got her memory back." Fred was for once actually being smart.
The night passed with those three making small talk as the others had 'philosophical debates'. Finally around eleven the Brotherhood went to their home, and Arcade to his. The X-men had to spend the night cleaning up the new mess.
--------------------
A/N: I always thought Arcade should be with the 'hood, he causes trouble.
