15 years later…

"Infrared, do you see inside the building?" A Scottish accent spoke the microphone. Kaden Manson, or Infrared, had the power to see inside of people, buildings, and other miscellaneous objects. His mutation really helped in the med room, but on occasions like these, he helped out on look outs, and he helped when he was to see inside of enemy headquarters. However, his mutation did not mean that he was physically weak, though. He could knock out 3 charging rhinos with a few swift punches. The man speaking into the microphone was Charles Mayfield, or Blaze. Blaze's mutation worked for the offense, rather than defense, but his power also worked to defend him and his teammates from harm. Whenever he was by a volcano, he and his teammate, Magma, felt right at home.

"All right, it's in the clear! It's go time!" The voice then disappeared when a tall figure teleported him away.

"Okay guys, show time!" A female voice shouted over the team of mutants. The voice belongs to Amara Aquilla, or Magma. She was a previous X-man who was kicked out along with her husband, Kurt Wagner, or ShadowCreeper. He had decided to change his name to destroy his X-man persona. But Magma could never destroy hers, for there were too many good memories that were with the previous team. However, now was not the time. Breaking out of her thoughts, she looked over the teams.

Team 1:

Danny Athens— Flip

Charles Mayfield— Blaze

Kaden Manson— Infrared

Kurt Wagner— Shadowcreeper

Team 2:

Isabel Watt— Werewolf

Molly Athens— TimeKeeper

Amara Aquilla— Magma

Rose Yan— Reaper

Magma nodded to herself. These were pretty even teams. So she got to work.

Kurt looked at his watch nervously; they were a team of assassins, not door holders! He sighed, thinking about what had happen ten years ago. Desperate for money, he and Amara had turned to the life of crime, and became first class assassins. They knew, by heart, how to break into a building without letting off any alarms. He figured that he might as well have a team of students learn as well, since the hope of humans siding with mutants, witches, etc. was dissipating day after day. But now was not the time to wallow in shame over what he had done. Now was the time to focus on the mission. Assassinate the senator, leave. That's all they had to do, right? It was an easy job, considering that the senator moved into his lavish summer home. What Kurt did expect was that the senator hired a couple of bodyguards…

Kurt and his team split themselves into two teams of two. One team was to be on the ground and another team on the roof. Kurt and Danny teleported to the roof, and looked at the blueprint that Danny pulled out. They saw that they were just above the kitchen area, which was next to the master bedroom, which was convenient for both parties. When the team on the ground gave them the signal, they were to teleport into the room and do whatever was necessary to kill their target. Kurt and Blaze noticed the signal, and quickly teleported inside.

When Kurt and Danny reappeared inside, the first thing they noticed was the fridge. It had been left open, as if it had been ransacked, but they also noted that there was some spilled wine on the counter, along with some broken glass with wine on the floor. It looked like the Senator had been drunk, something that made Kurt smile evilly. The drunken ones were the easiest ones to kill. Danny and Kurt looked at each other, nodded, then teleported into the bedroom.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Scott and Kitty looked at their watches, groaning in exhaustion. When the Senator hired them to be his body guards, they were expecting some action, not wait at the door for intruders! Scott sighed. This was the most boring night of his life, by far. Kitty was just about to speak to Scott, when they both froze. They heard something that sounded like whispering, but they quickly excused the noises as animals. When they heard it again, they started to listen much more closely. It was coming from the bushes, the noise becoming louder. Scott and Kitty quickly went into defense mode, aiming to kill whatever the noise was if need be. They held their breaths, and flinched when something popped out of the bushes. They quickly became relieved when they saw that it was a dog. When Kitty went to pet it, it growled ferociously, and tried to bite Kitty's hand. Kitty laughed, phasing through the muzzle, angering the dog even more. Pathetic wimps. Who do you think you are, defending some puny human who hates mutants? Kitty and Scott froze when they heard the voice. The dog wasn't speaking, but they heard it talk. That's right, Cyclops and Shadowcat. You did hear me speak, but it's through the mind, not mouth that you need to hear. "How do you know our names?" Scott questioned, becoming afraid of the answer. Well, Cyclops, let's say that my mentor knew you guys pretty well. Hmph, I thought that you guys would look tougher than he described. It's too bad. My first killings have no meat on them, especially the female. How do guys ever fall lustfully in love with you, pussycat? This made Kitty and Scott infuriated. How dare it mock them! Now it's time to attack! They ran up to the dog, but stumbled back as the dog did something unexpected. It transformed, morphing into the body of a teenage girl. The girl had on a black jumpsuit, bearing an 'S' in the middle. As the two were figuring out who this girl was, Werewolf telepathically told the others to surround them. Scott and Kitty, who forgot what their job ever was, started to fight. The girl started to run up to them, then ducked and kicked them both in the knees. Jumping back, surprised, Kitty and Scott soon noticed that they were surrounded by three girls and one woman. Before Kitty and Scott could utter a single word, they were knocked unconsciously by Reaper, who had enforced a wave inside of their brains to the sleep function. Soon, Kurt and his team came back from their part of the mission, and Blaze quickly burned a message in the grass next to the two unconscious X-men. Kurt smirked. "Vell done, team. Let's go before security arrives." Everyone held hands as ShadowCreeper teleported them to the plane.

Hours later, Scott and Kitty woke up to alarms and crying. Confused, they turned their heads to the house, and saw agents and government officials inside. When they arrived at the scene, Scott inquired, "What the hell happened here, sir?" The agent looked forlorn at Scott, and sadly replied, "Senator Kelly is dead." Scott and Kitty were shocked. Kitty ran out, smelling something burning. Scott stood there, confused and somewhat relieved. But who could have performed at trick without us knowing about an intruder? Scott was broken out of his thoughts when he heard Kitty screaming for him. Running out, he saw what the commotion that Kitty was making was. It was a message, burned and still burning into the ground. But it wasn't the way the message was burned that got his attention, though. It was what the message said:

BEWARE THE RISE OF THE SHADOWMEN
