Collaboration of Evil (Part II)

"No you prepare for this!" shouted Jubilee blasting Avalanche off of his feet.

"I think missy needs a spanking," yelled the Blob running towards her. Jubilee face twisted into fright as Blob's belly smacked her to the ground.

"Let's play hardball!" said Rogue flying towards a tree. She snatched the tree out of the ground and called the Blob's name. As soon as he looked back, Rogue gave him a good one to the face. She dropped the tree and brushed her hands off.

On the other hand Pyro had created a rage of fire which had surrounded Jean, Cyclops, and Gambit.

"Top this you X-men geeks!" Pyro said laughing.

"Uh oh your pants on fire," said Gambit tossing a card at Pyro's pants. His pants almost burned completely and he ceased the fire.

Magneto realized that Mystique's team had failed against the X-men. He knew he had to take immediate action, he encircled himself with a magnetic bulb and flew to the mansion.

But at the mansion The Blob, Avalanche, and Pyro were recovering and ready to battle again. Pyro began tossing flames at the X-men. Storm flew off of the ground as soon as he blasted towards them.

"Rain pour from the sky!" she said floating in the air. The rain quickly came and quenched the flames, but Storm was unaware that Avalanche was behind her getting ready to shoot her.

"Storm look out!" said Cyclops blasting Avalanche.

Xavier had wheeled himself out of the mansion and looked upon this fight with confusion.

"What is all this madness for?" he asked. The Blob came rushing towards him, but Rogue floated down and said, "Deal with me to get to him!"

"This is ridiculous, who is behind all of it?" Xavier continued to say.

"I am" replied a voice from the sky.

"Magneto!" screamed Jubilee.

"Yes it is my pleasure for us to meet again Charles, where have you been?" he asked.

"What have you done with Beast?" asked Jean.

Magneto just laughed and released a beam of magnetism towards her. He secured her against the rails of the mansion, but she telekinetically lifted the ring off of her. As she fell to the ground she took a breath of relief.

"You human monster!" yelled Cyclops and attempted to blast him.

"Oh you really think your pathetic blast could harm the master of magnetism?" he asked lifting the garbage cans off of the ground and tossing them at Cyclops.

Storm's eyes sparkled with lightning as she commanded winds to stop the trashcans coming towards Scott.

"You cannot do this to me!" Magneto shouted encircling all of the X-men except Rogue, Gambit, and Xavier with a magnetic sphere.

"Xavier if you want to see them again, I suggest you become apart of my team against humans!" continued Magneto as he floated away.

"Stop!" screamed Rogue as she flew after the bulb.

"No!" yelled Gambit. "Cher you can't!" he continued.

"Ridiculous insect!" growled Magneto as he released several beams of magnetism towards Rogue and knocked her out of the sky. Gambit quickly rushed across the grass and caught her from falling out of the sky.

"Gambit come inside we must find a way to find Magneto," requested Xavier as he turned around and wheeled into the mansion.

But back at the desert, Magneto had just landed with his new slaves. He released the bulb and everyone fell to the ground except himself.

"Magneto I suggest you free us," said Jean looking around with fear.

"And what if I don't?" asked Magneto.

"Then you'd have to deal with us!" included Cyclops as he attempted to blast Magneto.

"Cyclops there's no use our powers aren't allowed to be used," whispered Beast.

"Beast!" said Storm and Jubilee as they rushed towards him.

"What have they done to you, we must free you," said Jubilee trying to free him.

But Mystique quickly shape-shifted into herself and stood the ground. Jubilee and Storm stepped back with fear on their faces.

"You really think we would allow you to free your friend?" she asked frowning.

"Where's Beast?" asked Jean.

"The same place you'll be going," replied Mystique. "Magneto!" said Mystique.
Magneto attracted handcuffs with magnetism and tossed them on the mutants hands. He surrounded them with a bulb of magnetism and threw them into a cage with Beast.

Meanwhile, at the mansion Xavier had discovered where they were telepathically. He attempted to contact Jean telepathically but his attempts were futile. He also realized that they were on Desert Depleto. A desert which drains mutants' powers as soon as they enter the land, so he decided to use his mind and Cerebro's help to shield Gambit and Rogue with an anti-depletion probe. Xavier used his telepathy to form a shield and protect them. The three of them jumped into the Blackbird and headed for this desert.

"All of you will be my slaves, I will use your powers to become stronger and create new mutants," said Magneto looking into the eyes of the X-men in the cage. Beast was barely surviving the sun had gotten to him for more than he can bear. Storm closed her eyes and began meditating but she was quickly disturbed when Magneto lifted the cage off of the ground.

"Jean-Grey I am going to free you so you can use your powers to contact Xavier and bring him here!" he said. Jean looked up at him and squeezed Cyclops arms.

"No way!" said Cyclops.

"Shut up!" he commanded. "You will contact him for that only and you better bring him here!" he continued. He opened the cage so Jean could come out, he gave her an anti-depletion drink so she can use her powers for only two minutes. Jean thought this is so unbelievable, this is a fantasy. But she closed her eyes and contacted Charles. She informed him where they were and she was informed that they were on their way. Jean never did what she was told to she contacted Xavier only to inform him where they were.

Magneto was fooled but he thought she did the job. The Blackbird had appeared but it was hiding within the clouds. Rogue flew out with Gambit in her arms down to where her friends were.

"I guess today is the day I will regain my daughter," Mystique said smiling.

"Guess again witch!" said Rogue punching Mystique to the ground.

"Stop them!" yelled Magneto. The Blob, Pyro, and Avalanche rushed towards the two.

"Stay back!" requested Gambit tossing three cards towards the mutants. They stopped for a second as the smoke clouded them, but The Blob came running out of the smoke. He came rushing at Gambit and pushed him to the ground.

"That ain't playing fair!" said Rogue flying towards a cactus. She snatched it out of the ground, called the Blob's name and threw it in his face. She popped the chain on the cage with her friends, but Magneto lifted the cage again so Rogue was in the air holding on to the rail.

"Cher!" yelled Gambit.

"I asked you mutants to stop this madness, but you refused!" Magneto said angrily.

"I guess some gotta learn the hard way," said Rogue rolling up her sleeves. She flew off of the rail and towards Magneto. She punched him in his face; he fell to the ground out of the air. But Mystique shape-shifted into a tiger and jumped in the air towards Rogue.

"Oh no you don't!" shouted Gambit as he threw a card at her.

"Remy, help me with the team," asked Rogue holding Jean and Cyclops in her hands. Gambit grabbed Jubilee and Storm and himself ran for the Blackbird. Xavier lowered it so they can get in, but Magneto was slowly recovering. He realized they were escaping.

"Pyro, stop them!" Mystique commanded. Pyro created a huge flame to surround the Blackbird.

"Storm your powers should be regained, please stop the fire," asked Xavier. She popped the chains off of her hands and floated out of the Blackbird.

"Rain and wind, wind and rain!" she commanded as her eyes were enraged with lightning. The flames stopped and she created winds heavy enough to sweep the dirt into a mini whirlwind. She felt her job was done and she flew back into the Blackbird. Xavier zoomed off into the clouds as he thought about what he had left behind.

"Cyclops please take over," he asked as he wheeled to the back of the jet. He closed his eyes and telepathically contacted Magneto. Magneto I suggest you joins me at the mansion, where all mutants are welcome. Stay out of my mind Xavier, you are a fool he replied mentally. Xavier gave up telepathically talking to him, he said to himself "Nothing is more important to me, not even you Magnus, but the X-men," he assured himself smiling.
