Chapter 2 - The Struggle Against the Flashbacks (Part 1)

Lance, Kitty, Remy, Rogue and Kurt were struggling to find a place to hide, hopefully the army hadn't notice that they escaped. Remy and Lance were helping Kurt on his feet, seeing that he could not walk, or even keep his eyes open. His arms were around their necks limply and he was being practically dragged, his head hung low, and his chest was rising slowly. His shirt was drenched in his own blood, and even though he had a dark blue face, you could tell he was pale and slightly out of it.

The five were heading towards the closest, yet safest place to go, which was Kitty's cottage. Kitty spotted her cottage from afar and was starting to quicken her pace to race down to open the door. She had lost her valley girl humour and was starting to go through depression. A tear came to her eye when she last saw the rest of the x-men.

-Flashback-
The horrible attack by the military was well planned and sneaky enough. They had been planning and studying the mutants for months, inventing ways to deflect their mutant powers in any way they could.
The X-men weren't ready, and neither was the Brotherhood. It was around midnight and the older Recruits had gotten out of their new training room. They were all badly bruised and cut, all thanks to Logan in the control room. So, they had all gotten back to their dorms quietly, seeing that the younger recruits were asleep.

Kitty, having minor cuts and bruises was chattering quite loudly to Rogue, whom, on the other hand had a bloody gash along her left shoulder.

"So, like, we should go to that party tomorrow night. You should like really get out more often; you're always cooped up in the room"

"Auh'll do what auh want." Rogue said, examining her wound "Besides, Auh don't wanna go if you the fishbowl head are going together"

"But, it'll be fun, and Lance isn't THAT bad..." Kitty replied. Her hand had just reached her doorknob when it opened itself and a net came flying out, and three masked men had rushed out quickly shocking both Rogue and Kitty with an electric handgun. The two fell to the ground with a thump and were dragged into the room.

Nearby, Kurt was whistling and walking down the halls in his blue furry self. What he didn't know was that there was a man behind, which had just come out from a nearby room where 2 young recruits were in, unconscious. The masked man shot a dart straight at Kurt's neck. Making Kurt fall down onto his knees and also falling unconscious. Most of the Recruits had fallen to this fatal position and were all locked in a room heavily guarded.

Professor Xavier hadn't fallen into this position but he had his wheelchair taken away and a magnetic helmet keeping his thoughts to himself. (Like in the movie) He was unable to contact Jean or Scott immediately seeing that Jean had been killed immediately seeing what she could do with her telekinesis. And Scott had been knocked unconscious, and when he did wake, he had found that he blew a hole in the wall, killing the mutants in the room next to his. He had tried to find his way through the halls, but he ended up tripping down the stairs due to his "blindness". The guards, hearing this commotion had immediately set fire and well. You know the rest.

The guards had been specially armed, and trained with weapons that were designed for a specific mutant. Whether it have been Iceman, or Wolfsbane. Most, if not all of the mutants had all fallen into the fatal death under the hands of the guards for trying to escape. The only two that were known to have escaped were Kitty and Rogue. Rogue had awoken before Kitty and had shaken her awake. They exchanged powers and managed to escape quite easily, through phasing.

Kurt had undergone a shot through his stomach before he could teleport of the Institution and into Kitty and Rogue.

- - I'll have Part 2 up soon also; I wanted to separate the Institution people from the Brotherhood. This chapter was a bit cheesy... Sorry about that. I have a bit of a headache at the moment. R/R! - -
