Opening my eyes, I saw that I was in the middle of a field. Sitting up, I looked around, seeing trees but no buildings. Looking to my left, I saw a white cane with a skull for its handle next to me. Looking down at my chest, I saw that I had chains hanging off, with me grabbing it, only to scream once I felt an intense pain.
"I'm not entirely free." I said, standing up. "I need to get back." I said, walking in one direction.
Few hours later
'This is crazy, people know of mutants now?' I thought, seeing the paper that someone was reading while walking. 'It looks like no one can see the chain, or they would of asked about it by now.' I thought, looking at everyone. I had found myself in Virginia, and it was a little small town. I didn't bother finding a phone, as with what was going on, it looked like talking to people would cause more trouble that it was worth.
As I walked, I took notice to a giant walking in front of me, with me stopping. Catching up to him, he stopped once I stepped in front of him. "You're that boy, the one who tried and failed to stop me from getting to Charles." The Juggernaut said, with me narrowing my eyes at him.
"What are you doing here, shouldn't you be locked away?" I asked, with him smirking.
"You can thank Mystique for that." He said, shocking me that she was still alive.
"Tell me, what happened after you were released?" I asked, with him walking on, with me following him.
"Once I was released, Magneto started a revolt against the humans. They ended up making a machine that can detect mutants. The X-men and the brotherhood didn't stand a chance. If they got away from it, then they were caught back at the Institute. Either way, they are through." He said, with me narrowing my eyes.
"They arnt, because I'm still standing." I said, with him stopping and looking at me. "As long as one of us stands, then we all stand. With the humans coming after mutants, then you are a target as well." I said, pointing at him. "Join me on my trip back to Bayville, there we can group up with the others and find out what is to come of our kind!" I said, with him laughing at me.
"I'm not a mutant, I was made this was because of an artifact!" He said, walking on. "But I'll humor you, come, we have a train to catch!" He said, with me following behind.
Later
I sat on his back as he ran, with me jumping onto the train cart. Opening the door, I turned and held my hand out, with him taking it and me pulling him in, where I then closed the doors. "This is taking us back north, from there is up to you." He said, sitting down in the hay.
"I have to make a call." I said, walking over to the other end and pulling out the device I was using to call Captain Marvel. Hitting the call button, I waited for an answer, where I got one as soon as I had called. "Marvel!" I said, smiling at her.
"Where are you? How are you alive? Are you hurt?" Captain Marvel asked, not slowing down on her questions.
"I'm fine!" I said, looking behind me at the sleeping Juggernaut. "I'm on a train heading home. A lots happened." I said, looking back at her. "I was turned into a slave by a Demon lord named Mephisto. I escaped, took a sword that's now a cane, and now I found out that the X-Men is done." I said, with her shaking her head.
"They arnt, a good majority of them are heading over to Area Fifty One!" She informed, confusing me. "They are making a rescue plan to save the others." She informed, with me smiling.
"Good, then I'll meet up with them once they make it back." I said, frowning. "I'm with a man named Juggernaut, he's the professors brother. Speaking of the professor, how is he?" I asked, wanting to know.
"Unknown, Mystique was posing as him for a while now." She informed, shocking me. "You've been gone for two months, you have a lot of catching up to do." She said, shocking me.
"Two months, I was gone for three weeks!" I said, with her narrowing her eyes.
"Different time frames, I have to go, I'll call you as soon as I can!" She said, ending the call.
'So, Mystique was posing as the professor, and Juggernaut is free. There's only one way of knowing that the Professor is missing, and its because she put him in the same containment cell as Juggernaut.' I thought as I looked at him. 'This is going to get dicy.' I thought as I sat down and closed my eyes, taking a nap.
