Chapter 7: Problems

I was in a blind furry when I reached the ground. My whole vision was literally in shades of red. I wasn't thinking right, I wasn't even really thinking. My whole consciousness had become my power. A deranged smile crept across my face as I saw the metal ship explode. I had intense blood lust and an explosion was suitable compensation. It brought a glorious feeling, like I had concurred. I was a warrior. Bad people, they needed to die. I was a war hero.

But then that horrid little X-Men ship caught my targets, saving their miserable, insignificant lives. The joy of victory left as soon as it came and I let loose a huge roar from the depths of me. It was a roar no normal human should be capable of. All I wanted was death and destruction! Someone was going to pay.

"No…." whispered a small little voice as I was about to take off and destroy them all.

"What! Who dares sneak up on the Seductress? I steamed looking in all directions, but I saw nothing. No one was there. Not even animals were around; they sensed the danger and were gone.

"Don't, you love him. They helped you! Remember you found they really aren't so bad! No! Remember that you are Kiya! You are not the Seductress, that is the power!" whispered the little voice weakly fighting. The voice was mine! I, the Seductress certainly knew who was trying to break through. It was the owner of this body.

I would not allow her! No, its mine now! Arghhhh! Intense pain shot through my body as she fought back at me to keep from destroying the ship! I thrashed at the trees around me causing everything in the area to explode. By the time I was done I had set a huge portion of the giant forest to flame.

"DIE KIYA!" I yelled in the unearthly voice I possessed. But for a moment she gained control. It was long enough to send her body running at unnatural speed. It brought us far away in a zigzagged and complicated trail. I had no idea how to get back and we where now in a completely untouched portion of the forest. I roared in contempt for this woman. She was impossible! I would not allow her to gain control ever again.

From the Eyes of Pietro:

(Pietro's POV)

The girls, Magneto, Gambit and I landed with a heavy thud against the hard metal of the X-Men ship. When we landed on it an ungodly roar pierced my ears from the thick forest. I knew it was her; the Seductress was out to play. The thought of that woman made me shudder; She is like a pure evil concentrate of Kiy. Poor Kiy, she had become a very close friend of mine. Sure, she could be fiery and have a scorching hot temper. In fact, she is often extremely quirky, dramatic, and high strung. She sure isn't perfect. I call her brat all the time. But you don't often meet a genuinely good person like her. Funny, kind, forgiving, she is just genuine. Oh Kiy, what are we going to do about you? Wow, this sounds incredibly gushy, no… ugh… I didn't mean it… I only talk to her cause she's got a nice ass. Ha… Yeah…

Well, after we landed on the ship Kitty phased us through to the inside. Rouge, Jean and Storm were in a frenzy, attacking everyone and everything in sight. Cyclops, Kurt, Kitty, Beast and Spyke had to restrain them in sleeping chamber pods. Spyke, aka Evan Daniels, what a dweeb. Thinks he just sooo good at basket ball, the star, and with his stupid skate board all the time. Everybody likes him, Ohoooh! Just sooo cool. Yeah he's not. I'm so much better than him; well I'm better than everyone. But still, he is intolerable; he can't keep up with me! Yeah, give me that stink eye all day skater boy!

Where was I going with this? Oh yeah, no where.

Well they carried those three away and Xavier started asking all kinds of questions. It didn't feel right here, pretty awkward considering the arch enemy thing.

But we told him everything, mostly because he kept saying things like "We must work as a team to find her! Let loose like this, who knows what could happen. We can discuses specifics later." Which was very true, she had just destroyed hundreds of archers of land with one burst of Gambit's power. There was no telling what could happen if she got certain mutants' power's at huge strengths.

Finally, after going over every single thing we knew about Kiy, Xavier finally said "Well our best bet is Wolverine. If he can't find her, not one could"

"He must be cautious and have drugs available as soon as Wolverine finds her. She is the strongest mutant I have ever encountered; you are just yet to see her at full power. Not long ago, for Kiya's first trip out we took her to an unknown island, far from any people. She destroyed the entire island and nearly herself. She had nearly killed us many times. I have tried to keep her from absorbing people's benefits too, as it makes the Seductress more power hungry and harder to tame. But she is very young and inexperienced, maybe the Seductress doesn't even realize the depth of her power" Magneto said to his old friend Xavier.

"Ah yes, and this may give Wolverine just the edge he needs given all his experience. If he can get her back, I can try to banish the Seductress back to the unconscious places of her mind. However we must hurry, before the Seductress realizes her true power." Xavier said looking back at the X-Men to make sure they had heard everything. The group in matching suits nodded.

"No! I gotta be de one ta get her!" Gambit said earnestly. I knew there relationship had been supposedly 'fake' and all… Magneto and the brotherhood still thought they were together. I still kept Kiy's secret. But despite all this… I knew they loved each other for real. It was obvious. I never really understood the dynamics of the relationship and frankly I don't really care either. But it seems like something has been holding them back, probably her powers. Hmm, sucks for Gambit! One little smooch and bam, Seductress destroys the world. Ironic how one little smooch from his ex was bam, near death experiance. Hahaha!

"No Gambit, we need to leave it to Wolverine. You are too emotionally involved" Magneto commanded.

"You aint de boss a me!" Gambit retorted.

"Trust me Gambit. This is what is best for her. Too many of us will alert her and we will never find her. Logan has been doing this for a long time" Xavier said calmly.

Gambit looked like he was thinking hard about it and turned around in distain. What a drama queen.

"Well I need to call Logan, I'm not sure exactly where he's been lately" Xavier said wheeling himself to a video phone.

I looked with much disgust at the people in the ship. Ugh, why did we have to work with them? Then my eyes met with Kitty's and she gave a polite smirk and looked away. Dweeb.

"Yes, Logan?" Xavier said to the image of Wolverine of the screen.

"What's up Doc?" Wolverine grunted in his usual husky growl. He was apparently looking down at his screen watch as he road his motorcycle.

"Logan, you may recall the mutant I've told you about before. She is the one that we've been searching for the last year. Well, she has escaped and is very very dangerous. We need you to track her down and bring her back so I can help her. You must be very cautious around this one, avoid real confrontation. I can give you all the details in a moment but are you willing?" Xavier said trying to emphasize how important this was. We all knew he wouldn't say no, but Xavier was being polite.

"You got it Doc, I'll get her done" Wolverine said, seeming for him rather happy to have a good challenge.

Later that night Magneto told Gambit and I we would be working with the X-men to help Kiy until we found her. Then, of course she would choose to go back with us… Right? Yeah, of course she would… Family..

Well at least we wouldn't have to spend a ton of time with the X-men. I think this 'working together' thing mostly meant Magneto getting updates from Xavier who would get them from Wolverine all the time. Ugh, I hope we don't have to see them much. I detest them…
