I'm finally starting to get some feedback. . . keep it up, I wanna know!
^_^
Ok, I finished off this chapter . . . I promise, I will write more soon! I've just been really swamped lately, but it's summer now, so I'm back on track. Enjoy!
Chapter 3
Kittie and Kurt had managed to convince Professor Xavier to house a few of the kids for the week. Seven, to be exact. Mina, with Serena and Amy, Ann, who had sullenly agreed to bring Lita and Raye, and Ann's brother Alan. They were in three rooms, having picked their own arrangements. Ann and Alan in one, Serena, Mina and Amy in another, and Lita and Raye in the third. None of the seven, however, were in that night.
*****
Ann and Alan were hanging out in an alley. Ann was excited.
"Those sailor brats are back in Japan, so we can collect all the energy we want here!"
"Well," Alan held out a deck of cards, grinning. "Pick a cardian."
She pointed her finger at the deck, and one card floated up. Alan started playing his flute, and the cardian came forth. It was a humanoid figure with purple hair to her waist and a rather large mouth. She screeched her name aloud. "Syrenia!"
*****
Serena and her gang were exploring the town with the aid of a map. The only problem was. Serena had the map.
"Umm, I think we should go.that way." She pointed down a dark, deserted alley.
"Uh, Serena, are you sure?" Raye asked.
"It's.a shortcut!"
"We're lost, aren't we?" Mina asked nervously.
"No, it's that way, I'm sure of it! See, we go-mmf!" Raye clamped a hand over her mouth.
"Shh! I hear something!" A faint voice followed by distant laughter came from the alley.
"Syrenia!" The voice shrieked.
Amy used her visor to explore the darkness. "It looks like.no.a cardian!" She quickly transformed into a sailor scout, and the others followed suit. They all dashed into the alley.
The cardian Syrenia stood before them, watched by Ann and Alan, in alien form, standing on a low brick wall.
"What are you doing here?" Alan cried.
"We could ask you the same thing!" Jupiter called.
"You were in Japan!"
"Well so were you!"
"Rrr, Syrenia, get them!" Ann shrieked.
"Syrenia!" She dashed at them, letting out a high pitched, curdling screech that broke the windows in nearby buildings. The scouts quickly covered their ears, but as the monster flew past, the sound waves knocked them down. Sailor Mars recovered first.
"Mars Fire Ignite!" And then Venus and Jupiter.
"Venus Love Chain Encircle!"
"Jupiter Thunder Clash!"
A ball of fire, surrounded by lightning and hearts, hit her full on in the back. But she just got back up and flew past them again, screeching the whole way. Mercury managed to scan her as she went by.
"Aim for her right shoulder!" She called. Sailor Moon stood up, scepter in hand.
"Moon Crisis Elimination!"
Syrenia gave one last shriek and disappeared. All that was left was a small card, which soon went up in flames.
"Ooh, I hate you Sailor Scouts!" Ann shouted. She and Alan jumped to the top of a building and disappeared into the night. Sailor Moon and the others transformed back.
"Whew!" Serena leaned against the brick wall. "We can never get away from them!"
Raye stood staring after them thoughtfully. "The question is. why are they here of all places?"
*****
As they chatted, a tall, hooded man watched from atop a building. 'They will be perfect' he thought. He held out his hand, and five rather large strips of metal from various places floated into the air.
"Wahahahahaaah!" Serena cried. The girls struggled, but to no avail.
"Magneto! Let them go." A young man in a fitting costume with a red visor over his eyes stood on the wall.
"Ah Cyclops. And is the good Professor here too?"
"No. Now let the girls go!"
Magneto grinned, holding out his hand. "If you say so." The metal strips holding Mina and Raye suddenly opened, letting them fall.
"No!" Cyclops dashed forward, catching Mina. Right before Raye hit the ground, something appeared under her, stopping her fall. When she looked up, she was staring into a pair of shining, yellow eyes staring out of a blue, demonic looking furry face.
"Aahh!" She struggled, falling out of his arms and hitting the ground. She stood up slowly, looking at the boy who'd caught her. He was short, with blue fur all over. He had only three fingers, and his feet were almost like a dinosaur's. His eyes were a pale yellow, and his ears were pointed. He was watching her worriedly.
"Are you ok?" He asked in a German accent.
Raye rubbed her rump. "I think I'll live. But where'd you come from?"
He grinned. "Oh, around. I'm Nightcrawler."
"What do you mean, around? Don't joke with me!"
He winked at her, then disappeared with a 'bamf' and a puff of smoke. And reappeared right behind Magneto. Tapping him on the shoulder, he teleported out to the scouts, landing on the thin piece of metal around Lita. "Hang on!" and teleported her to the ground, right out of the metal. Meanwhile, Cyclops used his eye beams to blast through the metal around Amy, then caught her as she fell.
Magneto was mad. He picked up more metal and sent it flying at them. Cyclops stepped in front of Mina and Amy and blasted half the metal away. Nightcrawler grabbed Lita and Raye and teleported behind the low wall. He pulled them into a crouch.
"Stay here." Then vanished. The two tried to fan away the smoke.
"Hey, isn't that what Luna smelled?" Raye asked.
"Maybe. Sure stinks. Who was that anyway?"
"He said his name was Nightcrawler."
"Raye? You sense something from him?"
"Something, but.I don't know what."
*****
A few minutes later he reappeared with two girls. One they recognized as Kittie. The other was slightly older, with long, bright red hair. Both were in similar costumes, as were Nightcrawler and Cyclops. The red haired girl suddenly floated up, her hair flying out around her, and flew over to Cyclops to help him fend off the metal. She held out her hands and a group of bars fell to the ground.
Kittie and Nightcrawler sat down after motioning Amy and Mina over.
"Wait," Kittie said. "Weren't there five of you?"
"Guuuuyyyyyyssss!!" Serena bawled.
Kittie and Nightcrawler soon had her down with the rest. "Hey!" She pointed to Kittie. "You're that girl from today!"
She looked surprised. "Uh, ah, no, sorry, must have been someone else." she stuttered.
"It's ok, Kittie, I think we can trust them." Kittie looked at Kurt, an odd look on her face.
"O.k. Yes, I am. Kittie Pryde."
"And what about you, 'Nightcrawler'?" Raye asked.
He touched a button on his watch, then shimmered into the boy they had met earlier. "Kurt Wagner." The girls stared, mouths wide open. Kurt blushed and touched his watch again. "This is how I really look. The normal looking form is just a hologram."
"W-Whaaaat is going on here?!" Serena wailed.
"It's, like, a really long story." Kittie said, sighing.
Scott showed up behind them. "What's more important is why Magneto is after you."
"Magneto? You mean the creepy guy up.hey, where'd he go?" Mina cried, pointing up to the empty rooftop.
"He must have left. Come with me." He started to leave, calling out for his companion. "Jean, come on! Jean?" He looked around. His red-haired partner was nowhere to be seen.
*****
"Jean! Hey, where are you?"
Jean stared out groggily from a pile of rubble at Cyclops and Kittie, standing on the low wall calling her name. She tried to call out, to use her powers, but she was too weak. She gasped as something lifted her up from behind and swung her around the corner of the building. Magneto set her down in front of him, out of view of the others.
"Well, well, well. Look what we have here. They've left a present for me."
"Why.you." Jean brought her hands up to face him, palms out, but he grabbed her wrists to stop her.
"Ah ah ah. None of that, now. This is just a nice, friendly talk. Nothing more."
"Nothing is ever friendly with you, Magneto." She glared at him.
"All I want to know is who those girls are. They have some amazing power that they all share, and I thought you would be . . . kind enough to tell me." He smiled.
She sneered at him. "I don't know. Really. And I'm not going to find out for you either." She pulled her wrists away and turned to walk, though rather quickly, back to the others.
Ok, I finished off this chapter . . . I promise, I will write more soon! I've just been really swamped lately, but it's summer now, so I'm back on track. Enjoy!
