Deceived

DMA Detention Center

Beast is walking through the facility with the mutants Havok, Spiral who is in black leather and silver armor, Marrow, and Strong Guy. He also has eight DMA soldiers with him…They burst into the office of Cameron Hodge

He stands up

"Director! I am surprised to see you…"

Beast

"Cameron Hodge you are under arrest for consorting with mutant terrorists…"

Hodge is handcuffed by two soldiers and escorted out of the office

Meanwhile

Forge's Lab

Psylocke is practicing hand to hand combat with X-23…That is when Forge's voice sounds over the intercom

"Hey guys…Gambit is back!"

When Psylocke enters the main lab she pauses staring at Gambit…Then she throws a psi-blade at him

Forge

"What the hell are you doing?"

Psylocke

"Psychics are not fooled by Shapeshifters…He is with the Guild!"

That is when a black whole emerges inside the lab…The black whole is created by the External she emerges from the whole

Psylocke throws a psi-blade at her, but she bats the blade away and it strikes Forge knocking him out…X-23 snarls and leaps at her…The External catches her by the throat…X slashes her arm but the blade phases through her arm…The External takes her free hand and blasts X…She flies across the room and hits the wall…

As X falls unconscious Psylocke becomes invisible

External

"I can still see you little mutant ninja…"

She blasts Psylocke…as Psylocke becomes visible she stares at her hands in disbelief…Her powers are gone...She grabs the sides of her head as the External stares at her then she falls unconscious…

Allison is asleep in her room, but awakens to find the External standing over her

"Who are you?"

External

"A mutant like you…I have come to show you your destiny…"

Allison

"Where is Gambit…"

Gambit/Shapeshifter

"I'm right here cher…Trust the External she can help you…"

Allison

"But you said not to trust the External or the Guild…You said…"

Gambit/Shapeshifter interrupts her

"I know what I said…But after talking to the External I now believe in her plan…"

Gambit/Shapeshifter extends his hand

"Come with us…"

Guild Base

Gambit is in a cell sitting on a cot when the door opens

Doc enters

"I said you'd need my help!"

Gambit

"What you want a cookie?"

Doc places his hands on Gambits shoulders and restore his powers

"Come on we have ta hurry…"

Forge's Lab

Beast arrives in hover ship with Spiral, Strong Guy, Havok, Marrow and eight DMA soldiers…When they enter the main lab Forge is helping X-23 up off the floor

Beast

"Report!"

Psylocke looks at X who is too sad at the loss of her abilities and holds her head down

"A shapeshifter came sir…pretending to be Gambit…I saw through him…but we were attacked by the External…Witch stripped me and X of our abilities…They took the girl…"

Forge

"We could attack Guild headquarters…"

Beast

"If only we knew where it was…"

Forge

"I can help with that…That External Bitch made a worm-whole…I can build something to find the point of origin and…"

Gambit enters with Doc

"Not necessary…Gambit can tell you where the base is and what tha External is planning…"

Beast walks up to him and smells him

"Okay you are the real Gambit…Tell us…"

Gambit looks at Forge

"Can you bring up ah map of tha bayou…"

Forge sits down

"Of course I can…"

Gambit points to a place deep in the swamp

"Its here…Now show me the Indian ocean…"

When he does Gambit points to open water

"She is planning on having Allison use her power to create an Island nation…Genosha she calls it…A nation for mutants only…"

Beast walks up to the computer and starts typing

"My Stars and Garters…If she does that It will create tidal waves that will devastate…"

He pulls up countries and continents that touch the Indian Ocean.

"…the shores of India, Africa, Australia, the Islands of Indonesia."

X-23

"How we gonna stop her…Psylocke and I are powerless…"

Gambit

"Doc!"

Doc walks up to Psylocke

"May I…"

She nods and he takes her hands…A wave of green light flows over Psylocke's body restoring her powers

Then he walks up to X

"May I…"

He repeats the same with her

Gambit

"Beast you should take Strong Guy…Havok…Marrow…and Spiral to the Guild Base and shut those bastards down…I will take care of the External…"

X-23

"Yeah…take a number…"

She extends her claws

"I owe that bitch!"

Beast looks at Gambit

"You will need help my friend…"

Gambit nods

"We are going to need to borrow your plain..."
