"Hey! Marcus. Check down that hallway." said Cross. Cross and Marcus were both Morlock guards who were keeping watch during the take over of Trask Headquarters Jr. Cross was nothing special. Just a mutant who looked different and turned to the Morlocks for shelter and life. Marcus on the other hand, killed his parents and girlfriend when his powers developed twenty years ago. It was during one of his annual temper tantrums. He buried their bodies in the park but was caught red handed. He got away and decided to hide from the rest of humanity with the Morlocks. He had never been seen since, This however, is completely irrelevant to the rest of the story.

Marcus reached the end of his hallway and took a right. As Marcus walked through this new hallway, he heard something on the other side of a wall...

"Lights..."

"Camera..."

"Action."

Before he knew what was going on, the wall exploded and knocked him out cold. In came sprinting Gambit, Angel, Havok, and Cannonball. They stopped when they saw a Morlocks unconscious body.

"Ok. Remember the plan! Cannonball, Gambit, find Marrow. Me and Angel will get to the front door."

"Got it." Gambit and Cannonball said simultaneously. They then departed in separate ways. Angel and Havok took a left down the hallway and Remy and Sam when running in the other direction. Just then a guard came running at them from another hallway. This Guards nick name is Hydro (for a reason...). Gambit pulled out a card but before he even got a chance to throw it, Cannonball went launching forward. He put the card back.

The heat behind Sam was intense and parts of the wall was burnt. Gambit checked himself, happy to find that he was just a little red. He then looked back at the guard to find Cannonball standing on top of him grinning proudly. Gambit scolded him. The grin disappeared and was replaced by a 'sorry' face.

A long black tentacle came from the guards body and formed into a fist behind Cannonball. Before Gambit could warn Sam, the fist sent Cannonball souring down the hallway. Gambit ducked and looked back at Cannonball. He then happily remembered that Cannonball could put the concentrated heat shell around himself making him near invulnerable. It would have to take someone freakishly strong the hurt him. Sam stood back up and dusted himself off.

This time, Gambit charged his staff and went sprinting at the goo man. He then jumped at him but something weird happened. He turned into a big puddle of black goo and Remy landed in him. Just then the puddle of goo formed into a fist under Remy and punched. Gambit was sent souring through the roof onto the next floor. He then went falling back through the hole at the goo fist only to be punched again but this time, sent souring back in Cannonballs direction.

Cannonball was already mid launch so he smashed into Remy and both were sent flying at the goo man. This time, Gambit was wise to his technique. He through a card after he charged it. He through it at the goo man and the fist exploded sending bits and pieces of goo flying in different directions. The duo landed right behind the goo mans pieces after Remy slowed them to a stop with his staff.

"Cannonball! Quick! Vaporize him while he is still in a weak state!" Remy screamed out. Sam's arms then began to glow. He then sent his deadly flames all around the hallway after giving Gambit a chance to get out of the way. When he stopped, there was smoke everywhere. It wasn't clearing though. Then, a sick though hit Gambit. What if dat isn't smoke?

Gambit almost threw up. He then brought his coat to his face so he didn't breathe in the goo man, or rather, the vapor man. Cannonball didn't take any notice. The proud grin had returned to his face. Remy then went running through and jumped up through the hole he had recently made in the ceiling. He was now on the second floor.

"I hope all da mutants in dis building aren't dat strong." Gambit said. Cannonball wasn't there. Gambit looked back down through the hole to find Cannonball twisting his head around looking for Gambit while stupidly scratching his head. This is going to be a long day...

Meanwhile...

This is going to be a long day... Havok thought to himself. He and Angel were going up against 3 other mutants and getting their asses handed to them. One of these Morlock mutants was a guy who screamed really loud. He went by the name Banshee. Pretty lame, right? Or at least, thats what Havok though before he fought him. By now, he had lost track of the amount of walls he had been sent through so far. His entire body hurt.

He looked over at Angel who was being double teamed. You would have thought Angel would be at a disadvantage what with his huge wings and all, but from what Havok was seeing, Angel was a black belt in karate, jujitsu, fujitsu, and multiple other things.

One of his mutants was some guy who had the ability to turn into a human tornado. His name was Twister. He just twists around real fast like the Tasmanian Devil in those Bugs Bunny flicks. He couldn't control it though so it was more of a liability since he kept hitting his teammate. Angel was near untouchable. He just kept flipping out of the way. Angel seemed like he was almost on Gambits level when it came to that kicking, flipping stuff. Almost.

The other mutant was a guy rubber teenage guy who looked about 17 and could stretch his body parts like Mr. Fantastic, except he worked differently. He couldn't control his stretching. He would just punch forward and his arm would stretch very far distances but as soon as they reached their limit, they would come snapping back. That worked more as an advantage though. With every punch a person makes, they build up momentum and could keep punching faster and stronger, but a human arm has limits when it came to that. This guys rubber body allowed him to build up more momentum faster and stronger to the point where it seemed like he was punching with five arms. His rubber body also helped him absorb punches and kicks as long as they aren't too strong. He went by the name Snap. Angel couldn't dodge the arms whenever Snap built up enough momentum. He was too fast then and he inflicted all kinds of damage.

Havok then snapped back to his own problems. Banshee was getting ready for another scream. Havok instantly through his arm up and sent a plasma blast flowing from his fist. Banshee screamed. The force of the scream stopped the plasma right in its tracks. Havok gawked at the site of his blast flying back at him. He then rolled out of the way only to collide with Twister who was still twisting. Havok was sent flying at Snaps direction and Snap stretched his arm backwards getting ready to meet Havok with a finishing blow. His arm came snapping back as Havok reached him and Havok braced himself for impact. Havok felt something grab his shirt before Snap hit him. He twirled out of the way and sent a kick to Snaps head which sent it stretching back a few feet before it came snapping back. Then, he felt the grip on his shirt disappear. He ended up rolling on the ground. He then looked up to find Angel there. Havok smiled happily as he staggered to his feet and came walking up to Angel.

"We cant beat them." Angel said flat out. "Not alone."

"I know." Havok said back to Angels's surprise. He had been expecting a plan, but both of them where blank. Banshee came walking up and Twister stopped twisting. He rubbed his head and staggered around feeling a little dizzy. "We need help..."

Angel put his fist up and Havok did the same behind him as the Morlocks circled them grinning.

"Maybe I can even the odds." a voice said. Before they knew what was going on, a figure came flipping in out of nowhere and grabbed them both in a tight hug. Then, everything turned black. After that, there was a short flash of a sulfur, fiery, rocky world followed by everything turning black again. They both looked around confused to find themselves on the other side of the room. The Morlocks searched around for a second before they spotted them. Angel and Havok turned around to find Nocturne standing there staring at them. Her stomach and left arm was covered in bandages

"Noc--?" Before Angel could finish the word, a pair of hands came up and wrapped themselves around his body. It must have been the stretchy kid. Angel felt himself fly backwards with the snapback and he snapped into the rubber kid. They then ended up rolling on the ground grappling.

"Alright. You take care of the twister guy Havok." Nocturne told him. "I'll fight the other one. Whats his powers?"

"He goes by the name of Banshee. He screams loud and his screams don't deafen you. They are more of an energy that sends you hurling in the opposite direction." Havok informed her.

"Well, thats a lame power." Nocturne said while attempting to stifle a laugh.

"You won't be thinking that much longer." He warned as he sprinted off in the twister guys direction. She then walked over to Banshee smirking overconfidently. She then wiped the smirk off her face remembering the last time she got overconfident. She nearly got he butt handed to her by a hammer wielding Morlock. She wasn't about to make the same mistake twice. She put on a serious face and Banshee nodded happy that she was going to take this seriously.

Nocturne tried to stay serious but she then thought about his powers again. She broke out laughing hard and loud. Everyone including Snap and Twister stopped and turned to stare at her stupidly. She then felt a pain in his ribs and her laughing ceased. She clutched her stomach and decided she was too injured to laugh so hard. That moment was all Banshee needed. He screamed as hard as he could and she was sent through multiple rooms.

After a few seconds, she came walking back staring at Banshee in astonishment.

"Told ya so." Havok said chuckling. Nocturne glared at him and he stopped laughing.

She then looked back at Banshee who screamed. She teleported out of the way as everyone else resumed their fighting.

Meanwhile, back with Gambit...

"This is soooooooo AWESOME!!!" Cannonball said loudly. Gambit knocked him over the head with his staff and mouthed the words 'Shut up'. Gambit decided it was smarter to use a more quiet tactic. He considered blowing holes through every ceiling as a quick root to the top floor, but if they did that, every Morlock in the building would be on them in seconds. Instead, the decided to quietly search for the stairs and make they're way up from there.

Gambit slicked through the hallways like an expert (which he was) but Cannonball constantly did something that nearly got them caught. Finding the stairs had been unbelievably hard. It also seemed the longer they went sneaking around, the less Morlocks there where. Gambit overheard something about commotion somewhere near the entrance. He secretly smiled to himself but it disappeared when he realized multiple guards would be on Angel and Havok soon.

Cannonball paced behind Gambit with his hands behind his head. From the expression on his face, he must have been really bored. He was so excited a second ago. Gambit then heard something behind them in the hallway. He quickly dodged around the corner. Cannonball hadn't noticed so he was still in the same position. Gambit quickly grabbed him by the collar and pulled him behind cover. He then heard someone whistling to themselves. Gambit waited for it to die down and then relaxed with a sigh of relief. Cannonball was right behind him smiling.

Gambit then turned to make his way down this new hallway. When he turned, he spotted huge glass doors that seemed to glow green. Gambit walked over and looked through the glass. There seemed to be multiple mutants in small glass tubes like what Wolverine was held in way back in his Weapon X days.

"Wow..." Cannonball said.

"What is Trask Jr. doing wit all these mutants?" Gambit asked no on in particular.

"I'm guessing this is a secret jail where mutant bad guys are kept." Cannonball said.

"What gives you dat idea?" Gambit asked.

"Theres a sign that says 'Evil Mutant Holding Area' right there." Cannonball pointed out.

"Oh... Well, then we better get out of here. If they are here, theres a reason for it." Remy then gave a last glance at the mutants and decided to keep walking until something, or rather someone, caught his eye. There was on tube in the very back secluded from every other tube. It was huge and house a certain abnormally large mutant. Inside the tube, was the hulking figure of the Juggernaut. Gambit had always wondered where Juggernaut was being kept after his fight. A building had collapsed on them both killing Gambit, and immobilizing Juggernaut after which, Juggernaut was taken into custody, or so he was told by Professor Xavier before his death. Gambit turned and walked down the hallway deciding it was smarter not to dwell on it and to leave Juggernaut here. At least he wouldn't have to deal with him.

He then went around the corner and snuck past two guards with relative ease since they had fallen asleep. Probably out of boredom. Fifteen minutes later after walking through countless hallways, he came to the stairs. Gambit smiled to himself for finally finding what he was searching for for at least an hour.

"Alright, Cannonball. Lets go find Marrow." Gambit said. He then took a step forward. There was no reply from Sam. "Cannonball?" Gambit asked again. He then turned around to find the area he was in was completely empty with no guards or Cannonball. Just then, a loud ringing noise sounded and red lights started blinking. It was the alarm.

"Breach in sector 403! Breach in sector 403! Break out in Mutant Containment Area! Break out in Mutant Containment Area!" The building repeated these words.

"Goddamn it Sam..." Gambit said not the least bit surprised.

Meanwhile...

Havok, Nocturne, and Angel, along with their opponents Snap, Twister, and Banshee froze. The alarm had gone off and was repeating the words, "Breach in sector 403! Break out in Mutant Containment Area!" Angel instantly suspected Cannonball. It obviously wasn't Remy. He's smarter than that.

"What the hell did he do?" Havok asked everyone.

"Who cares. Right now we got our own problems." Nocturne said as she flipped up to the ceiling to avoid a scream. She then flipped back down and sprinted forward getting ready to knock a few teeth out of Banshees loud mouth, but he ducked under her punch and gave her an uppercut that sent he flying backwards with her arms flailing.

Angel dodged under one of Snaps punches and spotted spotted a crowbar under him. He picked it up and smashed it over Snaps head as hard as he could. Snap absorbed it again though and shrugged it off easy. Angel couldn't hurt him. He looked over to Havok who seemed to be holding his own.

At least until he took a knee to the face that made him drop like a log. Twister then grabbed Havok's right arm and started twisting while still holding him. When he let go, Havok hurled in the other direction so fast, Angel would have missed it if he blinked. Havok was sent into Nocturne and Banshee knocking everyone down and rolling. Nocturne was the fastest at recovering. She jumped up above Banshee about to send her foot stomping into his face until he screamed.

Nocturne was sent through the ceiling and came falling back down. When she did, debris came down with her and knocked both her and Banshee out. The gapping hole also took away a little support from the ceiling. Havok sprinted out as the entire room caved in burying both Banshee and Nocturne. With a worried glance back in Nocturnes direction, Havok resumed his fight with twister.

Her ran up and put his fist up. As he did, twister began twisting again and went in Havok's direction. Havok then poured on the plasma not holding back anything. The plasma connected, but instead of defeating his foe, the twister began to glow a yellow color. It had turned into a huge plasma twister and was heading right in Havok's direction. Havok turned and ran in the other direction. If that plasma twister connected, he wouldn't live to tell about it.

It was fast though. It was on him in seconds. Then, out of nowhere, Angel appeared and tackled him out of the way. It went by harmlessly and through a wall picking up pieces of debris with it. It then changed course and went back in their direction and they parted ways. It went between them and passed. The deadly twister started flying around the room destroying anything in its path.

Angel then got an idea.

"Havok. Stand back and get clear. I'll finish this fight up. Dig out Nocturne and the other mutant."

"Your crazy! How would you do that?" Havok asked.

"Go!" Angel screamed at him over the noise of the roaring plasma tornado. Havok didn't ask any further questions. He just did as he was told. Angel ran over to Snap and got into a fighting position. Snap smiled and did the same. Snap then just gave one punch with his right and then with his left. The more he did so, the faster and stronger his punches got. Angel got out of his fighting stance and straited himself up. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Focus." He whispered to himself. By now, Snaps punches made it seem like he had five arms again. He then ran forward, still punching in Angels direction. Angel braced himself as the flurry got closer. When it reached him, Angel threw his arms our instinctively and closed them around something. He looked forward to see that he had caught one of Snaps arms just like he wanted. He gave an evil grin to Snap whose own smiled was obliterated. Angel then looked back at the plasma twister. He then went running at it and rolled out of its way just in time. He let go of Snaps arm and the Tornado caught it.

Angel looked back in Snaps direction. His arms where getting stretched to the limit as they helplessly wound around the tornado. Snap was trying to resist it but it was futile. He was drawn in and disappeared into the tornado. The Tornado slowly came to a halt and lost color as it release the plasma blast and sent its debris flying in different directions.

It finally came to a stop and Twister fell to the ground completely tied up by Snaps body. Snap had gone unconscious from the heat but Twister was still trying to worm his way out of Snaps bonds. Angel paced over and delivered a kick to his head putting him out of action instantly.

He then looked back to see Havok carrying an unconscious Nocturne and dragging an unconscious Banshee behind him. Havok looked at the fallen Morlocks impressed with Angel. He gave Angel a quick smile and then quickly got back to business.

"Ok. Now that they are out of the way, we need to get to the entrance. It shouldn't be too far from here." Havok said with his mind on the mission.

"Alright, lets go." Angel said. The two then left their unconscious enemies behind with the rest of the destruction carrying Nocturne with them. About two minutes later, they reached the entrance. Havok laid Nocturne down against the door and took out his Com.

Meanwhile...

"Mission Complete." Where the word Gambit heard through his Com. Havok and Angel where done. Gambit then talked through the Com again.

"Dats great. Just great..." By now, Gambit had already gotten back to the holding room and found Cannonball. Unfortunately, he also found everyone else. Everyone was out of the tubes. There where at least fifteen evil mutants surrounding him and Sam. One of them was a certain hulk like being...

"You and me are gonna have words, punk." Juggernaut said menacingly as he towered over Gambit.

Authors Note: Hey everyone! Theres the new chapter and part two of the current story arc. Also, sorry for the long wait.

Along with all that, I have a project where I have to make a card for every story in the bible, which is long and boring, so I've been busy.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed the chapter. See you next week!
