Many, many apologies to all the people that are still reading this. Sorry it keeps taking me forever to get this done, but hey, at least I'm finally getting my schoolwork done. Anyway, now for my specialty, the fight scenes. Let's do this..

``

Daniel stretched in the Danger room, getting ready for the session of all sessions according to Logan. He had decided to tell the others about Xavier's plans after they finished. Hopefully, they would side with him and they would be able to find a way to stop him. The others were standing around and talking about what the session might be over. Everybody quieted down as Xavier rolled in.

"Excuse me children, does anybody know where Rahne is?"

"I think she walked home with Todd." Said Jean.

"So it's Todd now is it Jean? Have you forgotten that they are the enemy?" He said, his eyes narrowing.

"Well, no, but they've all seemed to change now. We really haven't had much conflict out of them."

"Nevertheless I don't want any of you associating with them anymore!" he said, looking at Kitty.

"Like what is your problem Professor? They haven't done anything to us since Mystique left."

"I will not tolerate this insubordination! If you will not cooperate, I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to allow you here anymore."

Everyone bean to take uneasy glances to each other, unsure of what to do with Xavier in this condition. He then focussed on Daniel. "So you think you know what's going on do you?"

Daniel's eyes narrowed, "Whatever happened to privacy of thought?"

"You forfeited that right when you began to plot against me."

Daniel's eyes widened in shock **He knew?!**

Scott stepped forward, "Professor what are you talking about?"

"Scott, you must believe me. He's been planning to overthrow us with the help of the Brotherhood," Xavier pleaded, but added a little mental influence to try to sway Scott.

Jean felt it and her eyes snapped open, "Liar! You're trying to trick us!"

"Aye! He's been fooling us from the very beginning."

Xavier turned to see Rahne at the doorway, her green eyes alight with fire.

"Now now children. I will let this minor discretion pass if you give me your word that you will not try this again." He poured out his mental influence.

Jean would have none of it, she slashed through his mental web, releasing the already weakening minds of the others, "No professor, this has to stop now!"

"This will NEVER stop! You cannot stop me. I will see my plan of humans and mutants living in peace."

"Ye mean living in peace under your rule? I doon't think so Professor." Rahne growled.

"I knew I should have stayed with the Brotherhood," Rogue grumbled under her breath

"Fine then! If you will not listen to reason, then I will have no other choice than to eliminate you."

Rahne suddenly stood as if in a trance as Xavier left the room. "Enjoy your session. It will be your last."

He punched a command on the console outside the doors as Scott fired a blast. The doors slammed shut and they could hear Xavier laughing outside.

Daniel's twin blades ignited in his hands, "Now for some fun!"

"Are you fucking CRAZY?!" demanded Kellie.

"What? How much more can the Danger Room give us if it's no hold barred, all of us against it?"

Scott cleared his throat, "A lot more than you'd think. Everyone get in a circle, facing out. Kurt, get ready to port us out of here."

Suddenly, Kurt and Kitty slumped over unconscious, "Ah ah ah Scott, no skipping out on training. You should know better than that!" Xavier's voice sounded over the intercom.

Scott picked them up and put them in the middle, "Damnit! Ok, keep Kitty and Kurt in the middle. Jean and Daniel, shield them as best as you can. Daniel take the energy attacks and Jean take the physical."

Daniel nodded and stood between the two prone forms, "How much damage can the doors take?"

"A lot."

Remy cracked his knuckles, "Remy be thinking he can take care of that. Just get me close to the door."

Then the chaos began. Gun turrets and traps began popping out of the walls. Tabitha stood with Daniel, trying to hurry a protection and boosting spell, while Rogue and Rahne sat down in the middle, their powers not being any help. Scott took Amara, and Jubilee on the left, firing at the gun turrets that began to appear. Bobby took Roberto and Gambit to try to blast the door down. The others began to spread out, taking on various parts of the room on their own. The energy shots began to blaze forth towards the center. Xavier programmed them to take out Kitty and Kurt first. As the energy beams got closer, they disappeared. Daniel stood with his eyes closed, concentrating on absorbing the energy out of the air. Jean aided as blades and flying orbs began to get closer.

"What about the tahme you stopped the energy from getting to the circuits? Like you did at the mall one day?" Rogue asked.

"Each one....has..a.separate generator." Daniel struggled out. His eyes snapped open, blazing yellow.

"Are you freaking ENJOYING THIS?!" Tabitha exclaimed.

"What?! I like a good... fight. So..sue...me."

He fired blasts back, "How ya doin Jean?"

"I'm ok for now. I can't keep this up forever though."

"I'm working on a spell that should boost your energies."

"Why don't you try to work on one that will heal Kurt and Kitty, then we can get the fuck out of here."

"Healing spells take a LOT of work. If I can boost you guys up, the I should have time."

Kellie's image rippled out of the air like a cloaked ship on Star Trek. "Damn it's hard out there."

"Look! They're almost at the door!"

They saw Bobby and Gambit sliding on one of Bobby's ice slides as Roberto dipped and dived in the air. They got there and Gambit placed his hands on the door. A crimson glow spread from his hands until it encompassed the door. Roberto picked them up and flew back into the circle as it blew up. They heard Xavier swear from the control room.

"Duh, why don't we just blast the control room?" asked Bobby.

"If it's destroyed, then the computer will think that we're under attack and the whole place will go into Defcon 4."

"He really had this planned out didn't he?" asked Jean.

"Aye, it's too bad he's insane."

"Can we make it to the hall?" asked Tabitha.

A mass of walls sprung up, blocking the doors again.

"Ok, that is gonna get annoying." Said Daniel.

Scott came back in, carrying the unconscious form of Amara. "Fighting's not getting us anywhere."

"You'd think it'd be easy for you to destroy stuff considering all you have to do is open your eyes." Said Kellie.

"There are just too many things out there to dodge."

"Well then get the others in here. Danny and Jean can protect us 'till we can get out of here."

"Thanks for the vote of confidence. You can still fire out. I'm just absorbing the stuff that comes in."

Scott called the others to come back in. Everyone was out of breath, but the traps just kept coming. Tabitha was now working on the healing spell.

"I don't think we'll be able to do much unless we can stop Xavier from knocking him out again." Tabitha said.

"But we can't fire on the control room."

"After Kurt wakes up, he can port us directly off the institute."

"Fine then."

Scott looked towards the control room, catching a brief glimpse of Xavier's face. Xavier saw his plan and rolled out the door as quickly as he could. Scott opened up his visor full force, and the beam ripped through the control room. Some of the traps stopped working.

"Well, maybe he decided to deactivate that." Jean said.

Breeeek Breeeeek "Danger Room overwhelmed. Hostile intent suspected. Mansion entering Defcon 4 defense system. All students prepare for evacuation."

"Then again." said Kellie.

A whole new set of traps activated. Energy blasts were practically blinding them before they disappeared. Orbs and blades came within feet of the young mutants before Jean stopped them.

"How's it coming Tab?"

"Almost there."

"The Brotherhood is on their way. Todd said he'd bring help."

"Good. Wanda's powers could really help us out here." Said Scott.

"Oh! And speaking of which, what were you and Todd doing on the way home?" Jubilee asked.

"What the hell is wrong with you people? Danny's having fun and Jubes is concerned with gossip?! Am I the only one that sees the big guns shooting out there?"

"Oh get back to your spell. So did he kiss you?"

"NO!"

"Did you kiss him?"

"Um..."

Jubilee squealed, "Oh my god! Did he use his tongue?"

An energy bolt flew though, "Could you mind not talking about that? It's hard enough trying to focus already." Said Daniel.

"Oh fine." Jubilee went back to throwing her sparklies at random turrets.

"Got it!" Tabitha exclaimed.

Kurt woke up. "Ack, mein head. Vere are ve?"

"Hell. Now get us out of here Kurt."

He nodded and stretched out to everyone, "I can't go very far vith so many people."

"As close to the gate as you can."

"Right."

They all disappeared with a bamf and a cloud of smoke.

``

At the Brotherhood House, everyone jumped as the door slammed open and a greenish blur came flying though. It landed on Pietro and focused into the from of Todd. He was babbling at a rate that rivaled Pietro's. Since nobody had ever heard him go this fast. They all looked to Pietro, waiting for a translation.

"What?! No way! She kissed you?! Go Todd. Sorry, sorry. I knew he was insane. Oh yeah." Pietro responded.

"Well, it seems that Xavier's gone off the deep end. He's planning to kill everyone at the mansion and escape into the night."

"What?!" they all said.

"Kitty!" Lance was running towards his jeep.

"Lance now wait a second!" Mystique ordered, "We can't just rush blindly into a telepath's trap. Everyone suit up and get ready to move."

Pietro went up the stairs and back in less than a second, "Done."

Wanda came downstairs, the air crackling, "Ready."

Todd practically flew off the walls and landed next to Mystique, "OK OK, can we go now?"

"Where's Freddy?"

Freddy came lumbering out in his usual outfit, "What's going on?"

Pietro sighed, "Xavier's planning on destroying all the fast food restaurants in the world and we're going to go stop him. You want in?"

Freddy roared, "NOOOOOO! WE"RE MOVING NOW!"

He charged down the stairs, picking up Mystique and Wanda under one arm, and Todd in the other. Pietro and Lance were already in the truck.

"Let's move."

Lance's car peeled out of the driveway, breaking 50 miles per hour before they had even gotten past the first block.

"Hey, do you think we're forgetting someone?' Todd asked.

Boom boom came out of her room, headphones blaring, "Hey Mysti, what's for dinner?"

She looked around, "Where did everyone go?"

``

As the Brotherhood pulled up to the mansion, Wanda melted the gates aside. Xavier was out on the driveway, waiting.

Freddy leaped out of the truck, still clueless as to what was going on. He charged, raising a fist, "This is for McDonald's you tofu-eating BASTARD!"

He stopped in midcharge, standing as if in a trance. Mystique's eyes widened, "No."

Her will power was shattered as he took control of their minds, preparing for the imminent arrival of the X-men. ``

The X-men appeared on the lawn, collapsing in a heap.

"Whoa, that was interesting."

Kurt was unconscious again, the many passengers draining his strength.

Rahne looked up to see the Brotherhood standing there, "Toddy! Ye made it!"

She jumped up and ran to him, arms opened. Jean's eyes narrowed slightly, "Rahne don't! Xavier's got them!"

Lance held out his hand, tripping everyone once more. Tabitha flew up into the air, but Wanda waved her hand and she fell to the ground.

Todd spat slime onto the slower ones, sticking them to the ground. Amara's fire flared up, burning it off them. Kellie and Daniel stood back to back, their blades shimmering red as Pietro began to circle with a metal pole. He charged, and Kellie' couldn't follow it. She screamed and fell to the ground, holding her stomach. Daniel's aura rose, and he and Pietro began battling in a lightning fast sword fight that nobody could hope to see.

*Can't hold this up. He's so fast!*

His blade blurred to silver and he cut though Pietro's pipe. Pietro tossed it aside and swept Daniel's legs from under him.

Most of the other's were trying to stop Wanda. Her powers were reflecting everything they threw at her back at them. Lance was already out, thanks to a low power blast from Scott. Freddy was covered from shoulders to toe in thick ice, as was Todd. Mystique and Rahne were battling. Tiger and wolf circled, slashed and snarled. Pietro was tripped by a lucky swing of Remy's staff. The Cajun leaped on him, using his thick duster to tie him up. Pietro struggled, but the tough material was bound over his legs.

"Sorry mon ami. Remy know you aint in your right self, I hope you can forgive old Remy." He said. Laying him out with a stiff punch.

Now it was Tabitha and Wanda. The two mutant witches were battling. Powers countering powers. They were at a standoff. Jean focused and tripped Wanda telekinetically. The witch lost her focus, giving Bobby enough time to ice her her hands. It looked like it was about to end. But then Xavier rolled up.

"You've all done well my X-men. I'm glad you passed my test."

Daniel laughed, "Oh so now it's a test. So in the case of a real uprising you'd actually kill us."

Xavier glared, "Why can't you understand! All I wanted was."

"How about you just shot up now?" Scott said.

"I'm sorry it has come to this." Xavier said, pulling a gun out and aiming it at Scott, "Nobody move. Jean, stop protecting their minds."

"Don't do it Jean."

Jean looked to Scott who was stared back at her, "Why don't you just look at how pathetic he has become Scott."

Scott grinned, but Xavier couldn't see it. Scott turned to look at Xavier, and Jean's left eye twitched. Just once.

A blast of red light engulfed Xavier, a scream of pain, and he was gone. Wanda blinked her eyes, as if clearing her head.

"Um, Rahne. Why am I an ice cube?" Todd's voice asked.

Scott looked to Jean, "Well, I wonder when Logan gets back." ````

Once again, sorry it took so long. Hope you all forgive me. Until next time.
