Ch.1: Saying Goodbye
"I am sorry Professor, but I am taking a team to go and find out what ever did happen to...well we are going to try and find the cause of a lot of our members disappearances through out the months," explained Storm.
"I understand Storm, but I don't know why we could do this as a team. We have always done it in the past," said Professor X.
"Yes Professor, we tried that. In the outcome, we lost Colossus, Moira Mctaggert, and Senator Kelly. Shadowcat later dropped out, and Marrow returned home. Now I think that we should try going alone and if we need your help we will call via-Cerebero. This is very tough but we must do this," explained Storm.
It was a rainy day at the X-Mansion in Westchester, NY; and a very sad day, for Storm was leaving to go and search for lost teammates that disappeared during the Covert Operations, when the X-Men tried to find a cure for the Legacy Virus.
"I am going to take Beast, Thunderbird, Rogue, Gambit, Bishop, and Psylocke. We are terribly sorry to do this but we feel that we must do this. I.... Sniff*, I am so sorry. Please forgive me," sobbed Storm.
"Storm do not cry I know that you do not want to but you need to go and find our lost members. I bid you farewell," said Professor X.
"Professor I think you must go too," said Phoenix.
"Jean, I am not leaving. You must try and find new recruits. Try and find Polaris, persuade her to come back. If you can, I have a location of a man just like Colossus. His name is Mikhailios Minorca Rasputin {Mikhail Minooka Rasputin}. He is the little son of Colossus. Please find him," said Prof. Xavier.
Jean Grey, a student of Professor Xavier, went towards the great machine called Cerebero. She went inside and put on the silver helmet. She turned the machine on. All of a sudden waves of mutant thoughts flooded her mind. She had the control, but sometimes she would let out a grunt of pain because of the amount of strength it took to control the great machine.
"Let me look in Antarctica, in the Savage Land. Mikhailios was born there, and sources say that he stayed there and ruled after Ka-Zar and Erika went to New York to stop Carl Zykos a.k.a. Sauron. Lets take a peak... yes found him. He is in the Tribal Hut. Oh my.... he can take on metal form just like Colossus. We must recruit him," thought Jean.
The next morning, a yellow car pulled up to the X-Mansion.
"That will be 5 bucks Mister, hey! Where did ya go?" yelled the driver.
As soon as the driver went to tell his passenger for the fee, his passenger was nowhere to be seen. That passenger was Nightcrawler.
"The Mansion seems to be a little quiet than it usually is," thought Nightcrawler.
"So you decided to come back Elf, huh? Well you need to get an uniform and say you're an X-Man," said Wolverine.
"Logan, dear ole buddy how are ya?" said Nightcrawler. The blue man went up to the shady man and gave him a big blue eye love hug.
"Elf, never give me hugs," said Wolverine. "Only on holidays you may give me hugs. I will let you get away with it just this once."
"Kurt welcome back to the X-Men. Come to the Danger Room and the Ready Room, to fit you and give you a sample mission to see how good your reflexes are," said Phoenix.
Nightcrawler was soon in costume and in the Danger Room, and on his favorite mission, apprehending Magneto's daughter, Scarlet Witch.
"Okay increase it by 5.0 gravity potential, and change character to Apocalypse. Jeannie, I am only doing this because we are up against enemies that could fry Magneto in one attack," said Logan.
"Kurt if you are feeling that you are having signs of Fatigue, teleport out of the Danger Room and go strait to the Medical Facility on the double!" yelled Jean. Nightcrawler started out his training exercise with no trouble all. Then it increased to medium level, then to Apocalypse. Nightcrawler started to feel a wee bit tired, but he pressed on.
"Argh, please stop it now!" yelled Nightcrawler.
Soon Nightcrawler couldn't control his teleportation in the Danger Room. He finally got control and defeated Apocalypse with no trouble at all.
"Kurt? Kurt? Kurt, are you all right? Oh no!!!! Logan, he has gone into Cardiac Arrest!" yelled Jean, fearing that Nightcrawler was dead.
"I'm on Jeannie, Elf, listen to me, I am going to bring you to the Medical Facility. Phoenix will then Telepathically heal you," explained Wolverine.
At the Med. Lab, Jean started her Telepathy healing. Soon the Phoenix Entity went inside of Kurt's body. The Phoenix Entity sent charges through Nightcrawler's heart to start it up again. No Luck. Phoenix then tried to pump it and then charge it.
"Come on Kurt, I won't let another X-Man die because of Health Problems. There, the heart is pumping again. Kurt can you hear me?" asked Jean.
"Katchezen, did I survive?" asked Nightcrawler.
"You sure did Elf, with flying colors. I'm proud of ya Kurt. Welcome back to the X-Men!!" said Wolverine.
"Sir, we are now approaching the X-Mansion. Is there anything you would like before you attack the X-Men?" asked a purple robot.
"No Fernis, all I need is my helmet," said a tall red dark figure. "The X-Men will never know what hit them, and soon Xavier will be no more. This is so perfect!!!!!!!!!" yelled the tall red dark figure.
"Logan, I think I can lace back your adamantium skeleton. The plus is that it will not wipe out your memory, and it won't hurt. The Minus is, well..." explained Jean.
"C'mon Jeannie, it can't be that bad can it?" asked Logan.
"The minus is that your claws will be deformed for about 5 minutes after the skeleton is placed back in. They may come out of different points. So what I suggest is not use your claws for 5 minutes, and if you must, I'll use my telepathic Phoenix abilities to make sure that your claws won't come out in the unsecured places," explained Jean.
"What unsecured places?" asked Logan.
"Well you arm might have a claw pop there, or down there. I am just warning you, it is not exactly unsecured, it is just the unnecessary place for the claw to come out, " explained Jean.
"Want to go with it, if you have pain I'll come and kiss it all away."
"Sure, and I'll take that offer later on," said Wolverine.
He stepped into the machine and it started Phase 1, which was scanning the patient. Soon the machine went to Phase 2, and Wolverine did not even let out a cry of pain. The adamantium was soon placed on him. Then it was over. Wolverine came out looking as he was 5 minutes ago.
"Well, it work*.... mmmmm," said Jean.
Wolverine had whisked Jean in his arms, and they kissed.
"Well, kissing my wife a goodbye kiss, or a good luck kiss?" asked Cyclops.
"Oh my Cyclops, you are alive? But how is that possible, you and Apocalypse died in my arms. Is it really you, please tell me it is you?" asked Jean, her tears swelled in her eyes.
"Jean it is me. Apocalypse did not entirely take my whole body. When we supposedly died, Apocalypse and I separated and I threw him off a cliff. After that, I went to Canada. I found my Dad, Corsair, trying to look for me. I lost of my memory because of Apocalypse, so I remembered him as Corsair, leader of the Starjammers. Then I remembered every thing. I tried to get back here as quickly as possible, but transportation is horrible these days," explained Cyclops.
"Well welcome back Cyke. It is great to have you back! That kiss, well it was nothing," said Wolverine.
"Don't worry Wolvie, I don't care what happened," said Cyclops.
" Brang Brang Brang, alert, Professor not on planet Earth alert!" yelled Cerebero.
" What happened? He was here a minute ago!" yelled Jean.
"Warp Ring opening, origin, unknown," said Cerebero.
Out of the blue, a teleportation ring opened. Then a person came out of the portal. It was Alex Summers a.k.a. Havok. Havok came running out of the portal, tired and exhausted.
"Alex, you are alive!" yelled Cyclops.
"Scotty, my big-brother, you are a sight for sore eyes. Where is Madeline? She and I are supposedly getting married," said Havok.
"Alex, what are you talking about? Madeline is not alive. She was destroyed in the Inferno missions. Polaris will be so glad to see you!" explained Cyclops.
"Polaris glad to see me? Scott, she is the daughter of Magneto. She doesn't love me," said Havok.
"Alex, lets get you to the Med. Lab. There is something that I need to show you," said Cyclops.
In the Med. Lab, Cerebero took a look into Havok's mind.
"Oh my god, it can't be!" said Cyclops.
"Scott what is it?" asked Jean.
"Alex, well, when he died, he was sent through a portal, and well he landed in the body of Havok, leader of the Six. In that time, Earth was corrupted. He died there and was being hurled through the Time Space Continuum. He later found a way back here, but all he remembers is what happened there. He remembers before he went there, but he forgot what happened... what I mean to say is that Alex has been stuck there for 2 years. He remembers that he is married to Madeline and forgot about his love with Lorna...Sniff*," sobbed Cyclops.
"Oh Scott. He will be all right. We will put him in Cerebero's mind shock, and he will remember everything that has been going on for the last 2 years when he wasn't here," said Jean.
In Cerebero, Havok was connected with the Silver Helmet.
"Now Havok, this may hurt a tad. I will be with you all the way and start explaining to you what happened. You ready?" asked Jean.
"Yes," said Havok.
"Here we go, Cerebero, activate Mind Shock sequence, start in 1999," said Jean.
Soon many pictures flared in the mind of Alex Summers, all telling him about what had happen over the years he was gone. The sequence was soon over and Alex remembered all that he had forgotten over the 2-year absence.
"Alex now you know all the things that you missed while you were in that separate time. Welcome back," said Jean.
"I guess Lorna will never love me again, because she now works with Magneto," said Alex.
"No, she will always love you no matter what. When you died, she was devastated. She will be over because she is going to join the X-Men," explained Jean.
"All right, I guess I am a X-Man again," said Alex.
"Where am I, where is Jean?" thought Xavier.
"Welcome Charles, to the fold!" exclaimed Magneto.
"Erik, why, why do you want to do this?" asked Xavier.
"I did this to teach you a lesson. You are an idiot when it comes to this. You see Charles; I am going too kill the X-Men. Storm was right to leave; she left in the nick of time. She and the others will not be in graves like yours will be," explained Magneto.
"No, No, No, No, I will not let you do this! I have already lost Robert and Moira, I am not going to loose my students to the likes of evil!!!!" yelled Xavier.
"Well Charles, you are those kind of people that try to help as much as they can. Hate to break it to you, but your time is up. I am going to kill you Charles Francis Xavier, and when I am done with you; your pupils are next!" explained Magneto.
Xavier didn't want to hurt Magneto, but Magneto was out for blood. Xavier used a Psi-Blast, and Magneto was knocked unconscious. Xavier then used a telekinetic shield and was soon transported out of Magneto's ship, and back to the X-Mansion.
"Kurt, Alex, Warren, Scott, Logan; I would like to welcome back Miss Magnetism herself, Lorna Dane a.k.a. Polaris!" yelled Jean.
A green haired beauty then stepped out of an Avengers Quinjet. She closed the door with her magnetic powers.
"Lorna, your back!" yelled Havok.
"Alex my love, you're alive," said Lorna.
"True love at last, like us, right Scott?" asked Jean.
Cyclops just stared at the two lovebirds, wishing that he were in love with Jean that way too.
Suddenly the door burst open and Prof. Xavier came flying in with some urgent news.
"X-Men you must run now, Magneto is coming, and he intends to*," yelled the Professor, soon collapsing on the floor of the X-Mansion.
"Magneto near us! Suit up people we have a mission to complete. Mansion Defense Systems on, and on Code Red," yelled Scott.
All of a sudden, the mansion started to shake. Lamps, fans, and metal equipment were being thrown to the walls. Soon the roof opened and Magneto flew right in.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the X-Men team. You! You selfish ingrate, you slumbag!!! You betrayed me, Polaris!!" yelled Magneto.
"You wanted to destroy the world, I didn't want to do it. So it is your fault that I am not partners with you anymore," said Polaris.
"I really hate to say this, but all of you will die. I am going to kill you all, and then I can conquer the world and never worry about the X-Men!!" laughed Magneto.
Cyclops soon fired an optic blast, but Magneto repelled it right back to him knocking him out. Jean and Polaris tag-teamed but Magneto threw them to the Mansion wall, making them unconscious. Wolverine lunged at Magneto, but since the adamantium was placed in his body, he was thrown out of the building and onto the grass. Havok and Angel charged at Magneto, but he stopped them and made their heads collide with each other. Soon every X-Men were K.O.d for sure. Nightcrawler tried, but his last Cardiac Arrest made him weak, so he collapsed because of exhaustion.
"Now I have beaten the X-Men, and soon the entire human race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Magneto.
Will the X-Men beat Magneto before it is to late, will Storm and her team ever come back, and who is this new enemy?
Find out in Ch.2 of X-Men: New Team.
"I am sorry Professor, but I am taking a team to go and find out what ever did happen to...well we are going to try and find the cause of a lot of our members disappearances through out the months," explained Storm.
"I understand Storm, but I don't know why we could do this as a team. We have always done it in the past," said Professor X.
"Yes Professor, we tried that. In the outcome, we lost Colossus, Moira Mctaggert, and Senator Kelly. Shadowcat later dropped out, and Marrow returned home.
