My students had only been at Westchester Mansion for a few weeks and were
already preparing for their first mission. I felt very proud of them and in
a way scared. They would deal with the Brotherhood and I would deal with
Magneto!
From the diary of Professor Charles Xavier.
Nightcrawler on your left, shouted Psylocke via telepathy. Nightcrawler glanced left and ported to avoid Rogue's flying attack. He reappeared atop Rogue. "One good turn deserves another," said Nightcrawler who then punched Rogue in the face with his three-fingered hand.
Colossus was in a class of his own. He was taking on the Morlock Marrow and Bishop at the same time. Marrow leaped onto the Russian's shoulders and tried to jab at Colossus' head with a bone knife but his organic armour withstood the attack Colossus simply reached up and plucked her off of him and threw her to the ground. Bishop was little harder for Colossus. Every time Piotr got near he was just blasted backwards by Bishop's energy. In the end Bishop ran out of his inner energy and could do nothing to stop Piotr's attack.
Jubilee and Psylocke were the next two locked in combat. Jubilee was trying to keep Psylocke away with her fireworks. Psylocke was blinded by these pyrotechnical displays and blindly had to attack. Psylocke couldn't get close enough to use her psychic knife and was too inexperienced to use her other forms of telepathy. Jubilee finally got in a lucky shot and was blasted backwards and hit the ground with a thud. "Betsy!" cried Kurt. Nightcrawler ported right on top of Jubilee causing her to be squashed onto the floor. Nightcrawler then ran to Psylocke's side. Professor yelled Kurt in his head. Kurt? said a vast voice in Nightcrawler's mind. Prof. Betsy's hurt bad. She was hit by one of Jubilee's fireworks replied Kurt. Teleport her to me
Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch were working as a flawless team trying to take out Marvel Girl. Quicksilver sped around Jean Grey testing her defences, while Wanda was firing hex bolts at the young telepath. Jean blocked them with telekinesis at the last minute. Quicksilver pushed Jean Grey and she fell to the floor her red hair all over the place. Wanda used this moment to hit Jean Grey with a hex bolt, Jean screamed and fell into unconsciousness.
Inside the school, Charles Xavier waited. Magneto will come, Charles was sure of it. A large bang emanated from down the corridor, Charles turned to see Magneto flying down the corridor blue lightning from his body. A sharp smell of ozone crackled in the air. "Charles I have waited too long for this day to arrive!" yelled Magneto his voice like thunder. "So have I Magneto and you have caused many deaths already and they shall not continue!" Xavier shouted back. Magneto fired a bolt of lightning at Xavier. Charles ducked it and rolled along the floor coming back onto his feet, firing a telekinetic bolt back at Magneto. Magneto was too powerful to be overcome by this and blocked it with ease. The last remains of the bolt fizzled across Magneto's magnetic defence bubble. "Charles," said Magneto slowly saying the name. "You shall not stop my plans. Using the technology you have amassed in this mansion I shall quickly take control of the world and mutants shall be scorned no more. All I have to do is eliminate one small insignificant telepath." Magneto levitated Xavier using the iron in Xavier's blood. "Goodbye Charles." A fire axe from a nearby wall floated from its case and struck Xavier along the spine. Xavier cried out in reality and across the psychic plain, X Men! Nightcrawler appeared with a whiff of brimstone carrying Psylocke in his arms. Quicksilver appeared suddenly beside Xavier. Quicksilver looked down in horror and sped at Magneto trying to breach his defenses. Magneto was one supersonic step ahead of Quicksilver and was able to stop the speedster. Nightcrawler joined the fray using his ability of teleportation.
This time Magneto wasn't quick enough to stop Quicksilver and Nightcrawler from getting a lucky shot in. Magneto doubled up from Nightcrawler's blow. Magneto wheezed and blasted Nightcrawler away. Quicksilver was to exhausted to make any more attacks on Magneto or anyone else for that matter. A long scream rent the air. Quicksilver and the injured Xavier looked up to see Magneto knelt on the floor with Psylocke standing behind him, her psychic knife penetrating Magneto's helmet and through his skull. Psylocke smiled and twisted her hand a little more extracting a few whimpers from Magneto then pulled her psychic knife back out of his head. Magneto collapsed. Colossus arrived on the scene a few minutes later taking the sight of Charles, Magneto and Nightcrawler. "The brotherhood have escaped," said Colossus. "Colossus get Magneto to the medical bay. I'll bring the Professor and Psylocke will you wait for Nightcrawler to come around?" said Quicksilver taking charge. Psylocke nodded and knelt beside Kurt.
The next day the damage had mostly been repaired and Nightcrawler was up and about. Professor Xavier was awake though the axe had left his lower torso completely dead. He wouldn't be able to walk again unless a miracle happened. The Brotherhood had fled to parts unknown and Magneto was still unconscious. The X Men were in the living room. Nightcrawler was lounging on the carpeted floor. Xavier sitting on the couch. The Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Psylocke and Colossus all on the other couches and chairs. "I am very proud of you my children. You all handled yourselves extremely well while I was unconscious," said Xavier. The young adults all smiled smugly to each other. "Though," said Xavier raising a glass of champagne. "I don't think your jobs are over yet."
