Title: The Falling of a Knight
Chapter Title: None
Author: Cristof Wagner
Rating: PG-13
Category: X-Men: Evolution
Genre: Action / Drama
Status: Incomplete as of Chapter One
Disclaimer: I do not own the X-Men: Evolution or the characters thereof. In short the charters and show belong to Warner Brothers and a host of others including Marvel Comics, but the plot belongs to me. Oh well, I glad I'm not making any money off of this. I may not own the above show/title, but I do own Cristof Wagner (aka ColdKnight), Laurie Summers (aka Hera), and Samuel Munroe (aka Quasar), Nicole Tolansky , and Sarah Dukes (aka Centurion)
Author's Note: This story is placed before 'Proof is the Protector' (chronologically speaking) by about two years.

"Come on Sam, try and keep zhe gravity stable huh?"
Cristof Wagner armored, tired, and slightly annoyed called up to the X-Men's Danger room control node as he evaded tentacles, and energy blasts which were at their best lethal, but not today. That's the kind of extra precaution that had to be taken when one trained under increased gravity powered by a friend. Of course there was a slight risk of some bones being broken... badly if Samuel Thomas Monroe (a.k.a. Quasar) ever lost control of the gravity on the room. That was a chance that Cristof was willing to take for results.
Inspiration for Cristof had taken the form of one of Laurie's dad's old videos... Dragon something or other where a martial artist worked out in a room at fifty times normal earth gravity in order to increase his strength in a greatly limited time-frame. It was as if lightning struck. It was a nearly perfect situation as his best-friend at the institute was in possession of the power to alter the force of gravity in the area surrounding him. Thus the afternoon sessions of increased gravity super speed training commenced. It wasn't exactly like that absurd cartoon it was much slower. Cristof was not able to train in anything more than 110% of earth gravity and maintain his super speed, and Sam wasn't able to maintain anything higher at first.
Here three months later and Sam was able to maintain 120% of earth normal gravity for roughly 40 minutes. Cristof could only handle a little less than thirty minutes in such a level of gravity, and there were other issues such as keeping the Danger Room structurally sound, not to mention trying to keep their parents from finding out they took such a drastic step in their training. At the very least they would have to endure a very-very-very long lecture on safety. It was amazing that the professor hadn't shut them down which Cristof had been sure he would. Just to be on the safe side though Cristof had his own meager mind shields up while in the presence of Xavier. The professor could have pressed the shields a bit and they would have crumbled... however he hadn't even performed a surface scan. Luck was both of their middle names apparently.
Finally a response came from above in the enclosed control module through the speakers securely mounted in the Danger Room.
"Hey man you've been down there for half an hour, and this isn't as easy as it looks to you."
" Okay ve'll stop for now. Vhat's the computer register for my top speed? "
Cristof could feel the almost immediate lessening of the gravitational forces within the Danger Room.
"Cristof, your top speed in the past half hour was... "
The pause was stagnant. Cristof was rapidly losing his patience.
" Vell what was it? "
"Your top speed was just under the sound barrier, 332 meters per second. "
" So theoretically under normal gravitational forces I should be able to go beyond the speed of sound, right?"
"Yes Cristof, in fact you should now be capable of speeds beyond that of Mach One"
The Sound of the professor's voice chilled both Cristof and Sam virtually to the bone. So he HAD known what they were up and just hadn't said anything. The two mutant teens wanted to bolt but after all he knew where they lived.
Bamf-pop
Cristof teleported up to the Danger Room control Module high above the Danger Room itself, and of course Professor Charles Xavier was there along with Sam and four perturbed X-Men.... their parents were just entering the module having been summoned by Xavier moments before he himself reached the room.
To be Continued... ( Please be responsible and write a review even if you have criticism)
