Chapter 7: A Unexpected Trip (Changing the title from Good Deeds to This Now, although Good Deeds will be seen in it)

A/N: Alright, you all got a good introduction to Idaho, and got to see the heroes go against a new foe known as Captain Blackheart. I might end up using Jack Sparrow's accent for him, but that's not the case in this chapter, I mean, we got a new situation that the heroes will be dealing with in this chapter. And you will all have to read it to figure it out yourself, literally, as I ain't telling you at all. If anyone's got any questions for me, please tell me and I will answer them. I am open to suggestions. Plus for now until my friend Jase Raven 13 gets a GTA chapter and a special arc that he is doing for Yugioh that involves Sartorius, this is the story I shall focus on for now. Also, check out his Cards of Destiny story, the Godzilla Legacy, WWE: Tale of Malice, The Hounds & The Buzzards, Hellsing: The Blood That Binds, and Kingdom Hearts Origins: The Keyblade War. Also remember to check out my Yugioh GX story and GTA: The Score of All Scores. Now before I start this chapter, I am going to give you an update on looks of these characters now. I already explained the looks of both of Kai and Chantal. Jordan's costume is like that of a white Mystic Force Power Ranger since its wind, but without the helmet. Imagine a combination of Elsa's costume look from Frozen and the Power Ranger thing for Chihiro, and the same thing for Sonia but red since she is fire. Bentley will have some sort of a robotic version of himself that is a size of a human, and it gives him fighter capabilities. For Monster Gal, a gold bodysuit with scales painted on so that she looks something like a dragon and menacing at that. Koyuki will have a mix of a ninja and The Flash costume, but green with lightning bolts in the paint. Okay, without further ado, time to get this chapter started.

Note: This might be a two-parter, so bear with me here.

Friday Night at the X-Men Mansion

"Ah… classes are all over for the weekend, now we can enjoy a good old relax weekend of fun." Sonia smiled just as they are all in the Entertainment room, with the exception of Chihiro, Bentley, and Kai for some good reasons. You see, Sonia chosen a horror film for the group to watch, and Chihiro disapproves of Sonia's violent video games and now horror flicks that are bloody and violent. Bentley is working with Helga at the moment at the Idaho BurgerJoint to make their new base of operations. Kai well, he got better things to do, like read a book and practice his ninja skills at the Danger Room, which he was doing. All the other X-Men members like Wolverine and stuff are back at New York helping out Professor Xaiver with Kari to watch the place. She sees everything is going well at the moment, and the group is watching the horror film. She smiles just as she passes by.

"Oh I love this movie all the time. The Los Angeles Hook Murders 3, Blood Spills at Midnight!" Sonia said just as she watches some random victim's heart being ripped right off by the hook that scares the pants off everyone except Sonia and Chantal. Alice was especially scared, and even hides behind the couch just as the heart scene occurs.

"Well, I thought it was alright. It was more funny than scary." Chantal smirked. "I could kick that murder's ass any day, as much as I can kick Jordan's ass." She then turns to Jordan.

"AH!" Jordan screamed just as he hid behind the couch upon Chantal saying what she just said. He was totally offended by that fact that Chantal called him off big time on it, and was very upset. Heck, so upset that he even threw her into the air with his wind attack and onto the ring. "THAT WAS NOT FUNNY! THIS IS THE SCARIEST HORROR MOVIE I SAW IN YEARS!"

"Don't blame me, Sonia picked it." Chantal brought up just as she walks back over there to the couch.

"Man… Sonia, you are one messed up girl. No wonder why Chihiro disapproves of you playing violent video games and movies." Jordan replied to Sonia. "I really want to watch something else, something that everyone can enjoy for all ages."

"Why? Are you chicken to see this movie?" Sonia laughed out loud as she continues to make fun out of Jordan with Chantal, then she goes back to seeing the movie and sees the girl getting into her bikini and then the dude with the murderous hook with a head attach to it comes in for the kill. "Oh I love this upcoming park."

The girl in the movie screams in terror just as she sees the boyfriend's head on the hook, and then the dude unhooks the man and throws his severed head at the girlfriend, and then she screams in terror and runs from the killer, only to be grabbed and then he impales her with the hook in her heart, but then really pulls hard and decapitates a part of the girl herself.

"Hahahahahaha!" Sonia laughs just as she watches the violent death scene that is gory and shocking everyone else except Chantal once more. Heck, even Chantal laughs as well.

"Well someone turn this movie off, as I am scared!" Alice screamed in horror.

"Yeah… big time, I am starting to fear who will be dying next!" Koyuki said just as she runs around superfast.

"I don't want to look." Caylen added just as he coves himself in a ball.

Sonia just laughs with Chantal as everyone is acting like chickens on this movie. Man Sonia knows how to stir up trouble, and she does this very well with this movie. But we all wonder why her parents would give her such approval to watch them. Was it a prior experience? Were their parents carefree on the matter? But we can see why Sonia has her destructive fun temper she can use. Chihiro always hates this, and wonders that at the same time. Chihiro is more calm and respectful, but Sonia is the complete opposite. "Say, if only Chihiro were here to enjoy this movie."

"Say, since we were doing well this week. We are all going to get to go somewhere of the highest ranking student's choice. I hope it is me. I would love to go to a theme park and go on some rollercoaster rides." Sonia said.

"That would be pretty good. But I would like to go to this weekend's football game." Jordan suggested just as he hides from the horror movie scene.

"Or this weekend's MMA fight?" Chantal smirked. "See some real action."

"I think we would all 3 like the theme-park option the best." Alice, Koyuki, and Caylen said as they all agreed on something. A theme-park option is great, and Chantal and even Jordan sort of likes it as well.

"I can see the appeal of a theme-park." Jordan said.

"I can as well. I can for sure test my strength and win a prize." Chantal added as well. "I bet one of us did great this week, so the winner gets to pick. I bet I have this in the bag."

Danger Room

Kai is right now training in the room with concentration as he sits still on a water pillar that is underneath him without getting wet at all. Wonder where the water is coming from? You see, Chihiro is actually in this room with Kai to train. Chihiro wanted to train her powers and also learn to concentrate like Kai is. Chihiro couldn't stand to be in the other room with Sonia watching a horror flick with the others, knowing that she shouldn't be. At least Chihiro knows her age well, unlike Sonia, so she restricts herself to those age areas.

"That's good Chihiro. Keep your mind clear and focus it. You are getting better control of your powers." Kai said just as Chihiro sits in the very same way that he is doing. She wants to get better control of her powers, and right now she seems to be doing very well at the moment. Then suddenly, someone comes in, and Chihiro lowers herself and Kai down to see that person. It is Kari herself, and she is feeling quite good right now.

"Say, it seems you two are training right now in the Danger Room to get better control of your powers. It is very essential that you train here in your free-time to get better control of it." Kari said to them.

"Yes, and Chihiro is doing very well." Kai replied, looking at Chihiro, impressed with her performance. "Her mind is clear, her attitude is strong, and she is very calm."

"That's good." Chihiro replied. "Thanks for the compliment."

Kai has a bit of a smile for her, and then turns back to Kari for the moment with Chihiro. "Say, what brings you here?"

"I wanted to let you know that the winner of the performance of opening week is you. I promised everyone just as we start that the person who does their task the most effectively, and shows excellence in the heat of battle would earn the right to pick where they are going this weekend." Kari said to them. "Expenses are all covered by us."

"That is great. Kai, you won. You get to choose where we are going. I can tell that everyone wants to go somewhere fun. Like a theme park, or a football game, or even an MMA fight. But I feel we should go somewhere with purpose." Chihiro replied, but then she brings out some sort of a brochure. "This is what I would have picked if I have won."

"I see you would have made an excellent choice. To me, these trips should be educational, and like you said, have a purpose. Yellowstone National Park, it is far away's from our location, however… it is educational, and has a purpose. Protecting our nature preserves is something that not only you are interested in. I will admit I am interested as well." Kai replied, admitting that nature is one of his interests.

"To me, it is the best suggestion for an actual trip, and I thought museums are great, so, is this what you want to do?" Kari asked.

"Yes Kari." Kai replied. "Besides, these trips are supposed to be educational, which can also be fun for others as well."

"I agree with his point." Chihiro added as well.

"Very well, I will make the arrangements." Kari replied just as she leaves the room. "Carry on." She said, and then a few moments later, she has left the room to start making the arrangement for their trip to Yellowstone Park. Chihiro then got back to training with Kai to further develop her powers as a mutant. Chihiro is surely going to be getting back at Sonia this week, and thankfully Kai helped her with that plot.

Kari's POV

It has been a good week for the X-Men Mutant Academy. Not only those lessons were going mostly well, but we have taken on the Fatal Five and took them down. Even though they escaped, they are sure to come back later. Also, Captain Blackheart is surely not going to cause any trouble for the time being after what we did to him. I feel that I have made a good team. I feel Jordan has all the right leadership qualities and potential that is waiting to be seen. Kai is secretive, but trustworthy. Chantal surely has a mood for her power. Chihiro is cool, calm, and collective. Sonia is the opposite of Chihiro, as she is brash, loves chaos, and thinks first and ask questions later. Bentley knows the smarts, and is really good with tech. Koyuki is a bit of a pain to deal with at times, but can be a good person. Alice is a nice and sweet girl, but make her mad and it will be the last thing you will see. Quake… well, even though he skips classes, he is a trustworthy ally and in the heat of battle, he proves himself.

The thing that makes me happy is that Helga is nice enough to come on this trip after finishing the new base in Idaho's BurgerJoint. Helga though it was a great idea, and the fact that trips are supposed to be educational is great. I can tell she disliked the other options that the others suggested. Especially the theme park one, as she thought Kai and Chihiro's choice was a great idea. Also, she started to warm up to the other members, and perhaps her and I spending some time together with the team could help us develop or relationship more, as I really want to do with her. Well, tomorrow, there is about to be an unexpected surprise for several of these folks thanks to the choice that Chihiro and others made.

In the X-Jet heading to Yellowstone National Park (around the noon time)

Right now, the gang is anxious to know where they are heading. They all got the news from Kari this morning that Kai has picked the place that they are going to go for the weekend, and that they are returning Monday. Everyone at the time packed their things, and they are currently taking the X-Jet to this unknown location. Much of the group wants to know where they are heading, and currently Helga is flying the X-Jet with Kari to their destination that they are not telling. This pretty much has the gang guessing now.

"I am really hoping that it is some great theme-park. It would be so cruel if Kai picked something else? After a long week of lessons, battles, and all that sort of stuff, I am ready to unwind and have some fun." Sonia said, as she is twitching a lot for something fun to do. She is hoping its some theme-park as she wants to have fun.

"I am sure it's the best one out there." Jordan told her, to ensure that she won't be disappointed, and to give her some hope. "I have no clue where we are going as well."

"Well both me and Kai does, and I can tell you right now. You are in for a major surprise." Chihiro added with a smile, just as she focuses her energy on creating some water, and was also reading some sort of eco brochure.

"Well it better be a theme-park, otherwise I am burning you up like bacon." Sonia smirked just as she puts on her flames.

"Don't worry. Kai picked something great for all of us." Chihiro smiled to her again just as she looks at her brochure.

"I am so upset that I didn't win. Now there is a great guarantee that there will be no fight at all." Chantal sighed in disappointment.

"Well cheer up guys, I am sure what Kai pick will be good for all of us." Alice said with a smile, trying to cheer the gang up a bit for the choice that Kai has picked for everyone. She is wondering what the place could be as well. After all, everyone is clueless today. Kai is a good secretive person, so getting answers out of him is hard.

"I bet the place you picked isn't fun at all." Caylen said, perhaps ready to accept some disappointments has he got that feeling in him right now that the place Kai picked isn't fun at all. Noticing how Kai is serious in his objectives and everything, there is that good feeling.

"Don't worry. You will find out soon enough." Kai said to everyone.

"You keep saying that, just spill the beans, I been waiting to know this for awhile now." Koyuki said really impatiently just as she is really starting to get on the nerve now. She kinda wanted to speed around to show her annoyance, but since the plane is moving and they are still heading to their location, she cannot do that. Still, she wonders why Kai is so secretive.

Helga and Kari smiled at the group and Helga replied. "In just a few short moments, you are going to find out. To give you a hint, Kai picked a really good place."

"Well we are just going to have to find out in a moment." Bentley said just as he prepares several gadgets for this trip that they are going on. "I really hope its Las Vegas."

"Nope!" Helga smiled. "But we are here." The X-Jet landed at its destination and then the landing hatch opens for the heroes to walk out with their supplies. The very moment that the heroes walked outside to where they see the actual location that they have landed, they were in for the biggest shock yet.

"Oh my god….!" Sonia sighed as she isn't going to like this.

"This is incredible." Chantal also sighed as well.

"Why Kai… why?" Koyuki added as well.

"I didn't expect this." Bentley added along with the gang.

"This is absolutely stunning." Jordan saying just as he looks outside around him to see the very unexpected thing.

"I am for sure going to feel like a cast member of survivor now." Alice replied.

"Oh boy!" Caylen said.

They all looked around to see that they are in the middle of a huge forest, but also near a waterfall as well that was thunderous and loud. They also notice that the trees are pretty huge, and that they are some wildlife out here as well. Everyone was just stunned to look at its beauty, but also in the major disappointment that many are feeling right now. Especially Sonia, who really wanted to go to a theme-park, and this is going to drive her mad.

"WHAT… THE…. HECK?! KAI!" Sonia shouted in anger just as she starts to turn herself into flames entirely after she places her gear down. She fires a fireball at Kai, only for Chihiro to fire an ice projectile to freeze her fire ball. Chihiro comes out smiling, and this makes Sonia even more upset. "WHAT DID YOU DO?!"

"Kai and I had a talk last night over locations we can all go for the weekend. I was reading the eco brochure for Yellowstone National Park, and I was thinking we can all learn about nature and also go camping at the very same time." Chihiro told everyone just as she explains the trip.

"You are exactly right. You all think you were going to have fun riding rollercoasters rides, or watching football game. Well guess what, I have picked this place for two reasons. One, it is educational, and perhaps you guys can learn about wildlife here, and secondly… we also need to perverse it for the Earth to survive." Kai added as well coldly to the others, but gives a smile to Chihiro.

"Well I cannot believe you picked something like this Chihiro or suggested it." Caylen smirked a bit angrily as he was really disappointed. Chihiro wasn't moved and continue to smile. "I am a bit of a nature person, but I was totally expecting a good fun-filled trip, and this is what we get for all of our hard work, a camping trip/eco tour."

"And not just that, but we will also be helping out a group to preserve it as well later in this trip." Kari added as well just as she and Helga comes out of the X-Jet as well. This makes the gang with the exception of Kari, Helga, Chihiro, and Kai even more disappointed as well. They had to work a lot this week, and fight off 2 threats, and now they have to do even more work as well by helping preserve nature as well.

"Oh great… this is going to turn out into one bad trip. I am so upset." Sonia said just as she walks around for a bit, angered that there is no trip. Chihiro looks at her sister and grins. "You don't always get what you want."

"Well, let's just try to enjoy the trip. I at least brought some text that will make our time even more fun. I was keeping close eye on them with the camera systems that I can view on my iPhone. So you guys won't have to feel…" Bentley said just as he walks back into the X-Jet, and then suddenly the X-Jet closes its doors and leaves, right before Bentley can get inside to get his stuff. "WHAT?!"

"They will be no technology use on this trip. Going to get everyone out of their comfort zones for awhile." Helga said to everyone. "Let's all make use of what we can here. After all, I am getting out of my comfort zone as well."

"She's right. Let's all try to enjoy this trip as much as we can. After all, you don't always get what you want." Jordan states to everyone to prove Chihiro's point from earlier. Sonia then comes back, now calm as well.

"You were right. Maybe I should calm down and just try to enjoy the trip. You surely got me out of my comfort zone. I promise I won't blow up on this trip, unless someone really tips me over." Sonia states to everyone, now coming back after releasing her stress for a few moments and then coming back.

"I agree." Chantal smiled.

"I can live with that." Bentley replied as well.

"After all, this is an important trip." Alice smiled.

"I agree." Caylen agreed.

"See, that's the spirit I want us to have. Now let's get our base set up and ready, then later we will go out and observe some nature." Chihiro said, and then everyone got their supplies and starts to use it to make their tents and everything. However, unknown to them, there is someone watching them from a distance. It looks like a tribe person, and whoever it is, we don't know, but it looks at the gang sternly.

"Well, it looks like our guest has arrived. It's time to give them a proper introduction!" said by the unknown tribe person, before the person suddenly transforms in some sort of transformation into an animal and charges right at the group. Everyone catches the attention of the creature that turns out to be a big wolf, and Kai immediately responded by throwing a smoke bomb, getting the wolf dazed and confused. Then suddenly the others fire their attacks at him, and then the wolf was blown backwards against a wall. Then suddenly, the wolf transformed back into… a man, getting everyone in shock.

"What was that?" Sonia gasped at the moment the wolf attack happened.

"Someone attempting to destroy the trip, I am going to go take care of him." Chantal said just as he walks up to the man. He seems to look a lot like Merrick from Power Rangers Wild Force, although was not wearing a shirt, and was wearing a black sweat pants. He was also sported a tribe mask.

"Wait… I am sorry I attacked you guys. I thought you were one of them." The man said.

"What one of them?" Kai threatened just as he gets his blade up to his mouth.

"Wait…!" Chihiro shouted just as she walks towards the man. "I am sorry if we hurt you, but what do you mean?"

"Those who are trying to destroy Yellowstone National Park with their pollution and other means." He replied.

"Well we aren't here. We are just hear for an eco-tour, plus we are camping." Chihiro then explained to him.

"Oh… sorry guys. Say, who are you people?" he asked them.

"Well, we are the X-Men Mutant Academy." Chihiro smiled. "Who are you?"

"I am Eric Shakanka. I am a mutant just like you." Eric then said.

This catches everyone off guard. How will this trip change, we don't know, but everyone was caught off guard by this. A misunderstanding for sure, but… what else is there to know right now?

To Be Continued

A/N: What an unexpected turn of events? Guess this Eco Tour is about to take an new turn. We now have a new character named Eric Shakanka, and I will make his bio later. Say, update, they will be a new villain coming soon, and it is in this plot line. Guess we will have to see more soon on this story to find out. Going to work on GTA for now, and after I get two chapters done for that, I am coming back to this one. Reminder, check out my other stories, and Jase Raven 13's classics as well. See you till next time. This trip is about to get interesting.
