"Damn Worthington." Nathaniel Grey thought to himself. "Tipped Apocalypse off to my hiding spot. Now I'm on the move again." Nate Grey was what you would call a nomad. Since he could first remember, he was always on the move. His first memory was when he escaped from Apocalypses pens with the help of his mutant power. It was funny really; he could remember the smell of the place, but he could remember nothing before that day. It was weird. Since then he was branded a Gene traitor, and hunted relentlessly by Apocalypses forces. Now he was on his way to freedom. With a little Psi-probing, he discovered a place out of Apocalypses reach. A place of utter peace and tranquility. A place only a select few knew about. A place called Avalon.
"I doubt it even exists." Teresa muttered under her breath. Others knew his companion as The Syrin, but it was Teresa for him. Her ability to emit high level sonic blasts from her vocal chords gave others a fearful reminder of a former Prelate by the name of Banshee. Sometimes that fear worked better than her power.
"It does Tres." Nate said as he forged ahead in the dense underbrush. "My powers don't lie."
"But Prelates do."
"Your Sarcasm is doubly noted." Nate said as he turned and gave her a grin.
"Freeze Mother Fucka's!!!" Came a yell from behind them. The turned to see an Indian with a very large gun.
"And you are?" Nate said as his left eye gave of a flash of light.
"Name's Proudstar." The man said as he cocked his gun. "Who are you."
"Grey." Nate said as he used a large amount of telekinetic energy to send the Indian flying into a wall. "Remember it."
"Nate, STOP!" Teresa said as she grabbed his arm, "He's the guy we're looking for."
"Shit." Nate muttered as he stared at the new hole in the wall.
"Are you ok?' Teresa asked as she helped Proudstar out of the hole he created.
"Yea. A tough hide and super-strength really help in this day and age."
"Sorry about that." Nate said as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"It's understandable. Apocalypse has a warrant on your head. I would have done the same thing." Proudstar said as he led them into a small cove.
"So where's this guide?" Teresa asked as she looked around.
"You'll take a ship first and then the guide will meet you there." Proudstar said as he led them to a small vessel. "Calisto, these are your only two drops this time!" Nate looked over to see a woman in her thirty's with a patch over her eye.
"She the captain?" Nate asked as he mind-scanned her.
"Name's Calisto, boy." She said as she walked up to them. "And don't try any mind tricks, they don't work on me."
"Good to know." Nate said as he and Teresa boarded the vessel.
"See you on the other side, John." Calisto said as they took off.
"Yes you will." Proudstar said as he picked up a communicator and spoke into it. "They're on their way. Yes, the girl is with him. I understand." He said as he put it down. A large ship appeared over head and landed next to him.
"Brother Proudstar, You have done the will of Apocalypse." One of the emerging Madri said.
"Thank you."
"Now die and honorable death." The Madri said as he raised his gun and blew a hole in John Proudstar's chest. He fell to the ground, blood streaming from his wound.
"We have the traitor's location." Another Madri said as they got onto the plane and left. "May the will of the Dark Lord be done."

"SO how are we going to do this Magnus?" Lance asked as he paced around.
"The best bet would be to take down the three remaining horsemen." Nightcrawler said as he hung from a steel rod.
"Agreed." Magnus said as he turned to face the assembled Mutants. "Any thought on the matter?"
"Here's my idea." Omega said as he stood up and stretched his arms. "Me, Victor, Logan, Gambit, and Gateway head to "heaven" and get some info on Mesmero and then we take him down. Our powers will allow us to survive his mind control."
"Makes sense." Logan said as he lit a cigar. "You, me and Vic. All have healing factors that make mind control less effective. And the Cajun's got a natural mind barrier."
"Look's like it's you and me again bud." Victor said as he slapped Logan hard on the back.
"Right." Pietro said as he looked around. "Myself, Storm, Nightcrawler, Wanda, Evan, Toad, and Meltdown will deal with Holocaust. It will take our combined efforts to deal with him."
"That leaves myself, the Alvers', Rogue, Forge, Magma and Iceman to deal with Shadow King." Magnus said.
"Scratch Shadow King, Magnus." Lance stated. "He hangs around on the astral plane. You need to be a Telepath to deal with him. Best bet would me to take out the Madri instead."
"Sound's like fun." Kitty said with a smile. "Seven taking out thousands. My kind of odds."
"Nothin' fun about it suga'" Rogue stated as the broke of into their teams. Gateway opened a Portal and Gambit, Sabertooth, Wolverine, and Omega all disappeared. Pietro's team got into the Blackbird and took off, as Lance used his powers to move Magneto's team under ground.
"God help us." Wanda stated as she strapped herself in. "God help us all."

Antarctica, 3 days ago
"It's fucking cold." Teresa moaned as they got off the boat.
"It's that arctic, Tres. Of course it's cold." Nate said as he formed a telekinetic shield around the two of them to keep the cold out.
"So where's this guide?"
"I am here." They turned to see a mammoth of a man behind them. His bald head shimmered with sweat, and his crimson robe looked tattered. "My name is Cain, and I will lead you to peace."
"Right." Nate stated as he looked at the Juggernaut in front of him.
"Let us begin." The man said as he began forging ahead.
"This is going to be fun." Teresa moaned as he began to follow the huge man.
"Loads of it." Nate said as he put his arm around her.
************
Antarctica, Present time
"We've been traveling for day's Nate." Teresa complained as they continued trudging through the Arctic landscape
"Calm down Tres." Nate said as he tried to calm her down. "This guy obviously knows what he's doing. We're still alive aren't we?
"Whatever." She moaned as she rubbed her arms.
"It is quite obvious that the two of you haven't felt the steady warmth that has been creeping up on us for quite some time." The Monk known as Cain said as he turned and faced the two.
"I have." Nate said as his left eye flashed. The Monk forged ahead a few more feet. Then he stopped on top of a hill.
"Why the hell have you stopped?" Teresa moaned as she ran to where he was. He pointed down.
"Holy Shit." Nate said in awe. The hill they were on overlooked a Prehistoric Valley that was something out of a movie. It was a lush tropical place that seemed to be some sort of Savage Land.
"Allow me to be the first to welcome you to Avalon." Cain said as he spread his arms wide.
"I'll be damned." Nate muttered as he ran down the valley with Teresa close behind.
"Rest now little one's." Cain said as he followed them. "You are safe now."
--------
"Don't be so sure, Monk." A lone figure thought to himself as he followed Cain down the valley, never taking his eyes of his prize: Nate Grey. "I think your ready now Nate. But we shall soon see."
