Prologue:

Scott gasped for air as he paused on the top step of Magneto's lofty fortress tower. He and the X-Men had just finished running up about 20,000 steps, and were now ready to take on the evil mutant once and for all.

"Ok, this is it!" Scott said. "This is what we trained for! Is everybody ready?"

"Yeah!" yelled the motivated X-Men.

"Alright!" said Scott. "Now, just keep in mind, some of us might not come back alive. Hey! Where are you all going?" he shouted as several of his teammates tried to sneak back down the staircase.

"Uh, I just remembered," said Kurt nervously. "Big chemistry test tomorrow!"

"Yeah, and, like, some of us have to get our beauty rest, ya know?" Kitty chided.

"Get back here!" shouted Scott. "You can't leave now! If you do, you'll never find out what Magneto really looks like under his helmet!"

"Oh, fine," grumbled the mutants. "But only because some of us have been waiting for six years to find out,"

"That's more like it," said Scott, and blasted open the door to Magneto's chamber.

The X-Men dashed in to find Magneto crouched over a computer console. He looked up and laughed at them.

"Ha ha! You're too late, X-Men!" he said with a sinister laugh. "In just a few moments, I will activate my deadly Diabolic Machine and turn the brains of every human being on this planet to mush! Nobody can stop me!"

"Uh, is this gonna take a while?" Evan asked Magneto. "Some of us have to go to school tomorrow,"

"Silence!" shouted Magneto. "You almost made me lose my place and have to start over!"

"We wouldn't want that to happen, now would we?" Rogue muttered sarcastically.

Magneto resumed his grandiose speech, droning on and on about he was going to rule the world.

Jean yawned. "Is he gonna be done anytime soon?" she asked Scott.

"I guess that's what we get when the writers cast a British theatre star as the bad guy," Scott said. "Hey, Kitty, think you could speed things up a bit?" he asked Kitty, tipping his head in the direction of Magneto's Diabolic Machine \

"Like, I thought you'd never ask!" Kitty said, and discreetly walked over to the Diabolic Machine . While Magneto was distracted, she phased into it and shorted it out. She walked back out of the machine and gave Scott a thumbs-up.

Wolverine interrupted Magneto. "Hey, sorry to cut your megalomaniac rant short, bub, but we just foiled your plans yet again,"

"What?" asked Magneto, and looked over at his Diabolic Machine and saw Kitty leaning up against it. She smiled at Magneto and waved her hand at him as the machine began to spew smoke and sparks.

"No!" shouted Magneto. "Blast! Foiled again by my theatrical instincts for the melodramatic!"

"Um, right, whatever," said Scott. "Well, it was nice laying the smack down on you yet again, but we really must be going, so if you'll excuse us,"

"Not so fast!" Magneto shouted. "Like any good villain, I always have a backup plan!" He leaned over and pulled an immensely large lever on the side of the Diabolic Machine , and a dark blue spinning vortex began to appear above the X-Men.

"Now I shall use my Evil Chaos Inducer © to send you all to a dimension of limitless suffering! So long, fools!" Magneto shouted.

"Oh man!" said Scott. "I can't believe we didn't see that immensely large lever!"

"Begone!" Magneto shouted, and the vortex swallowed the X-Men, and then vanished.

"Ha ha!" laughed Magneto and walked over to his computer. "And now to watch the fun,"

Turning on his screen, he saw that his Evil Chaos Inducer © had opened up two similar vortices. One was centered on the Xavier Institute, and the other on the Bayville Boarding House.

He sat down at his computer and opened up a small cupboard. Inside there was a large bowl of popcorn. "Let's see how those fools like things in the Python Dimension," Magneto chuckled, picking up the popcorn bowl and settling in to watch the fun.

At the Xavier Institute, the young mutants were outside, playing basketball. Ray passed the ball to Bobby, but as Bobby drove into the lane on Amara, the sky overhead grew very dark. They all looked up to see a giant swirling vortex floating above them.

"Run away!" shouted Bobby, but the vortex quickly engulfed them all and vanished, leaving only the basketball bouncing on the pavement.

Over at the Boarding House, a similar situation was unfolding. Wanda, Lance and Toad had been sucked into the vortex almost instantly, leaving Pietro and Fred trying to escape its pull. Pietro was running as fast as he could but was losing ground.

"Freddy! Help me, you big lug!" he shouted desperately, but before Fred could help him, the vortex overwhelmed Pietro and he vanished inside of it.

Meanwhile, Fred stood in the center of the house's living room, not moving. The vortex was straining to draw him in, but Fred just stood there, completely unaffected by it.

"Figures," he said. "Everybody else gets to go on a trip and I'm stuck here," he muttered. "Well not this time!" With that, Fred jumped into the spinning maelstrom and vanished.

The vortex breathed an audible sigh of relief as it swallowed Fred and closed up on itself, leaving the house empty.
