Kelly's Hideaway

"Is it ready," Kelly asked, watching Sparky intimately.

"No," Sparky replied, not looking at the man. "It's not ready."

"The longer you take, the longer you prolong the inevitable, Mutant."

"I'm not a mutant," Sparky stated, not turning away from his work. "I am an organic replica of someone. I am a clone. Not a mutant. Therefore, this creature will not and cannot harm me. The program is specific to mutants only. Those who are altered humans, aliens, clones, robots and even creatures not of this dimension will not register as targets and therefore will not be attacked. I don't know what you accomplish with this other than MURDER of Homo sapien superior. There is no logic to this. Why?"

"They ruined my life and I will ruin their lives," Kelly answered.

"How did they ruin your life?"

"They took everything I had from me. My wife, my children. They succumbed to this...disease."

"Your wife and children are 'mutants' and your wife never told you?"

"She turned my children into monsters," Kelly stated. "She used me to make more."

"Would you have slept with her if you had known," Sparky asked, quickly adverting his eyes form the Sentinel and to the door before reverting back to his work.

"Never," Kelly answered.

"Why is that?"

"It's not acceptable to have sex with non-humans," Kelly replied.

"The only thing that made her different was she was capable of something you weren't," Sparky stated.

"She could move objects without touching them! She was either possessed by a demon or a mutant and when my children were able to do weird stuff, I knew what she was and so I had to neutralize them like the disease they were!"

"You killed them?"

"No, not all of them," Kelly replied. "The youngest got away."

"What was...it's name?"

"Bryant," Kelly replied.

"It's name is Bryant?" Sparky looked at Kelly for the briefest of moments. "How old is he today?"

"Fourteen," Kelly replied. "This creature will kill him and all others like him."

"What can he do?"

"Enough questions! Is it done!?"

Sparky fiddled with something with the screwdriver in hand and then pulled it away, closing a compartment. He then looked at Kelly, nodding. "The machine to make them is done."

"Good," Kelly stated. "You're of no more use to me." Kelly pulled out a pistol with a silencer on it and pointed it at Sparky who looked at the gun in horror.

"Put that gun down!" Kelly and Sparky turned and saw Jamie standing in the doorway of the room with his arms folded across his chest...

Dallas, Texas

"Yeah know, Mister Big-Guy," Chemotherapy uttered, not looking at Marco, "you're pretty big. How'd you get so big?" Marco remained silent as he stared through binoculars from atop a roof the two sat upon. "Huh, not the talkative type I see." He was met with silence and Chemotherapy grinned. "How about I heat up your life?" He was responded with a grunt and Chemotherapy shrugged. "How about I tell you a story to pass the time?" There was no response. "Alright, I'll talk, you listen then. When I was younger, about a year younger, I told to a woman and her 'flight' that it was a great idea if she would attack a very important building. She complied but none of her 'flight' survived. It got killed by a boy who had to die to kill the 'flight' and she got beat up and her powers absorbed from her. I had a lot of fun watching. Got me all happy and excited when I saw my plan fail so I started making a new one, a better one. This time I'm spending more time to perfect the plan to prevent any loops or snares or stuff to happen to make sure it goes down perfectly." Marco remained quiet and then pulled the binoculars away from his face.

"They aren't here," Marco stated and he jumped down off the roof. Chemotherapy frowned and walked over to the edge before shrugging and simply walked off the edge down an unseen stairway to the ground.

"It doesn't matter anymore," the General said to Theresa as Chemotherapy and Marco approached him. "The Thief's gone. We can't rely on him anymore. The Sorcerer, Ehan, took Jerry and so we need to rely on standard transportation. I've got a jet ready for us, we're going to have to use that." After all of them were strapped in, they went at super-sonic speeds towards Bayville.

Kelly's Hideaway

"Jamie? What are you doing here?" Sparky looked at Jamie curiously and Kelly glared.

"I'm here to save you," Jamie replied simply. "Looks like you could use the help." Sparky nodded.

"Greatly appreciated," came the reply and Sparky looked at the slightly distracted Kelly briefly before hitting the gun out of Kelly's hand and then ran to Jamie.

"Why can't you shot lightning at him," Jamie asked.

"This collar around my neck," Sparky stated, pointing to it. "I cancels out powers no matter the source."

"That sucks," Jamie stated, looking at it. "I'm sure Dorian can kill it."

"Speaking of which, where is everyone else?" Jamie looked up at Sparky and smiled. "You're a dupe!" The Jamie dupe nodded and then looked at Kelly who finally grabbed his gun and pointed it at Sparky, firing.

"Look out!" The dupe pushed Sparky out of the way and was shot instead, simply vanishing. Kelly expressed surprise and Sparky used this moment to escape.

Xavier Institute, Kitchen

"I know where Sparky is," Jamie cried out suddenly and bolted. Katida, Shadoween and Dorian looked at each other before following after Jamie and right into Logan.

"Where are you four headed off to," Logan asked, looking at the four.

"I know where Sparky is," Jamie replied rapidly and moved past him with the others, including Logan, following after him.

Xavier Institute, Medical Ward

"A machine used to kill Mutants," Xavier asked, looking at Adala with disbelief. "Are you sure?"

"Yes," Adala replied, nodding. "Kelly's having Sparky build it." Just as he finished, the door slammed open and in came running Jamie followed by Dorian, Katida, Shadoween and Logan.

"I know where to find Sparky!" Xavier and Adala looked at Jamie and immediately Adala attempted to stand.

"I'm going with you guys," he stated. "Sparky's there because of me. I can help you guys."

"You're still weak," Xavier stated.

"I don't care," Adala spoke. "It's my fault Sparky's still there."

"Prep the jet, Logan," Xavier stated. Logan nodded and left with Dorian, Jamie, Katida and Shadoween shortly behind him.
