AN: 'these mean character thoughts.'
**********************************
Scott and Jean looked over Kitty's mangled, yet still alive, body. She looked like the rest of the victims, but this time she had a little extra. Scott and Jean had found a cell phone in her pocket when it started to ring. Immediately they knew it wasn't Kitty's cell phone, but it was still something worth looking in to. Slowly, Scott took it and answered it.
"Congratulations Cyclops, you win the lottery of being the first one to hear my voice without being tortured!" said a voice with a disturbing sense of humor and insanity.
"You!" yelled in anger Scott in to the phone, "It's you isn't it! Morris!"
Jean got up close to try and hear what was happening.
"Very good Summers, very good," responded Morris in an immensely sarcastic tone. "I see that you and that red-headed girlfriend found little Kitty Pryde. Man she was such a waste of time. She didn't even put up a fight!" Then he let out a sinister laugh in to the phone.
Scott was infuriated. He had insulted and attacked his family. "WHEN I FIND YOU I SWEAR!!!!"
But he was cut off. "Pop quiz asshole, a very certain psycho is going down route 17 towards the cliff near the lake and a mother and her daughter are coming his way. You're 25 miles from the point of contact. You have the power to stop it. What do you do? WHAT DO YOU DO?!"
Scott heard this and his anger gave way to shock and worry. Jean heard enough as well.
"You......" started Scott.
"Sorry but that's all you get loser. You have 20 minutes and it takes 45 to get here. Your only concern now is the two innocent people that are about to face a very painful experience."
Scott stopped, he knew he had to stop it. "But......Why me?" he said.
"Like I said earlier......You won the lottery, HA!" responded Morris as he hung up the phone.
As soon as Scott heard that click he turned right to Jean. "We've gotta get there and stop that son of a bitch!"
Scott and Jean rushed downstairs as fast as they could, for time was essential. This may be the only time they could stop this madman. Both Scott and Jean were determined to bring this guy down after what he did to their friends. Soon they got to the garage and Scott started up his car. They couldn't take the X-copter or the X-jet because it was under repairs and it takes too long to launch. Using his optic blasts he made an opening in the garage, for he needed the extra time. He then sped off as Jean opened the gates with telekinesis at unheard of speeds.
************************************
'Professor! Can you hear me Professor?' yelled Jean through her mind as she rode with Scott towards where Morris told them.
The professor, who was still tending to the victims in the medical bays, heard the frantic screams.
'Jean?! What's wrong, you sound eccentric,' thought the professor.
'It's Kitty, she's been attacked by Morris, she's up in the spare guestroom. We left her there because we talked to him,' said Jean through her mind.
"Storm, Logan get Kitty, she's in the spare guestroom," said the Professor frantically to his comrades. They soon rushed out to get her. Then he went back to talking to Jean.
'Wait......You've been talking to Morris?' said the professor telepathically.
'Yes, that's why we had to leave her. He's threatened a young girl and her mother somewhere off of south route 17 near the cliff. Scott and I are heading there to stop him,' replied Jean.
'Be careful! I'll see if I can get some backup out there,' assured the professor.
'Make it quick! We've got less than 20 minutes,' yelled Jean through her mind.
After that the psychic transmissions stopped. He had other voices raiding his mind.
'Professor! It's me Jack!' blasted Jack's voice, 'Morris got Pietro! We're bringing him in!'
The professor didn't respond, he was in too much shock. Two souls on his grounds were attacked and the attacker got away. The institute was not safe anymore. This whole affair was turning in to a massacre. He now had to place his hopes in Scott and Jean stopping the madman before he could get to anybody else.
*********************************
Meanwhile on the road Scott was driving like a madman. In speeds that exceeded 100 mph easily he frantically pursued the madman that had been torturing his only family. Even though he didn't know exactly where he was heading, he was driving frantically to get to Morris before he got to the girl and her mother. Through all the commotion, Jack came running down to the professor with some news not long after Pietro and Kitty were brought in.
"Professor!" yelled Jack as he came running down, "Professor are you in here?"
"Jack, this is a bad time," said the professor trying to calm down the new victims of Morris.
"I know, but I've got some important news, good and bad that is," exclaimed Jack.
"What is it?" asked the professor eagerly.
"I found a way to cure the victims," said Jack.
"What!? You can cure them?" repeated the professor.
"Yeah, but there's a catch," replied Jack.
The professor, whose hopes almost seemed dashed, said "What kind of catch?"
"I have the spell itself......But I can't cast it," said Jack sorrowfully.
"What? How come?"
Jack took a deep breath. "Apparently, Morris has used some unusual form of dark magic to block any spells I cast. He's made it so I can't use my powers to heal them; remember, crazy not stupid."
The professor sighed, "Well, can somebody else cast the spell?"
"Unfortunately no, this like any magic spell has to be cast by someone with far more life energy than a normal being or even a mutant for that matter," explained Jack.
"Well, can we find any of these individuals who have that much life energy to spare?" asked Professor Xavier.
"I don't know, it will take some time. By the way, where are Scott and Jean?" asked Jack.
"Morris left a cell phone with Kitty and used it to contact them."
"What!? You mean they're able to talk to him? Where are they?" exclaimed Jack.
"They went after him. They said something about him giving them info on his next attack. They said it was somewhere along south route 17," said the Professor.
As soon as he finished that sentence Jack used his powers to morph in to Link.
"I'm going to help them," said Link sternly as he sped off.
The professor didn't argue with him as he sped off with the power of the Pegasus Shoes. While he was running Jack/Link kept thinking 'Why would he all of the sudden reveal himself to someone? All his other attacks are at random, but why do I get the feeling that wasn't his motive for choosing Scott and Jean to contact?' He kept wondering why as he ran along the road, careful not to overlook any detail.
*******************************************
While Link was racing towards his friends, Scott had reached south route 17 and frantically began to look around for the brutal attacker.
"Jean, can you pick his signal up?" asked Scott.
"I'm trying, I'm not getting anything," responded Jean in frustration.
"Well keep at it! We can't let that guy hurt anybody else!"
As they drove along they didn't notice a speeding motorcycle coming up behind them. It began closing fast. Jean was still trying to locate the madman's mind. Scott looked in the rear view mirror and saw the mysterious rider. He was wearing all black, including a large trench coat that waved in the air.
'Something's not right here,' thought Scott as he watched the mysterious rider close in on his car.
He kept watching the man behind him, then all of the sudden he saw him draw a weapon. It looked like a handheld automatic pistol. In a second the gun was pointed at his head.
"Jean get down!" yelled Scott as he forced her down.
Shots rang out as a barrage of bullets began to fly above their heads. Immediately, Scott's car swerved on to the side of the road until it came to an abrupt stop. Frantically, they ran out of the car and took cover behind it to avoid any other shots.
"Jean, are you okay?" asked Scott as he breathed heavily.
"Yeah, but I don't know why I couldn't locate him if he was so close. I'm sorry Scott," replied Jean, who was visibly shaken and disappointed with her self.
"Hey, we don't know who we're dealing with here. Jack says this guy is packing magic so don't blame your self," reassured Scott who was still short of breath.
As they took shelter behind the car they looked up to see who the attacker was. Scott had gotten out his power visor from the glove compartment and put it on for battle. They watched as he approached on his motorcycle. Once it came to a stop the mysterious man took off his helmet to reveal his face.
"Jean! Don't look him in the eye!" yelled Scott as he remembered Jack's warning.
The man approached him. He was wearing all black, but the most disturbing aspect was his sinister looking smile. He approached his new witnesses.
"Well, well.........You made it. I knew you wouldn't let me down," said the madman with an evil grin and psycho tone.
"Morris I presume," said Scott.
"You got it Einstein. You are the first assholes who have seen my face and not already been hunched over in pain like a dried up piece of shit. You must feel very proud," said Morris.
Scott and Jean's faces didn't waver, because they were still red hot with anger over what he had done to their friends.
"Well guess what?! It will do you no good! Cause when I get through with you two......It's gonna make the rest of my victims look like fucking child's play!" yelled the madman.
That did it, with a war cry the two teens dashed for Morris, but in an instant he pulled out a mysterious staff that had a dragon's head on the top. In a swift beam of dark green energy he knocked them back nearly 10 feet.
"Uhh," was all either of them could say.
"Jack wasn't kidding when he said this guy was a dark magic magician," groaned Jean who felt that she was unable to get up.
As they got up a small car began to roll down the road. Morris saw the car and smiled intently.
"Ah, my victims are here."
Using his dragon staff he blasted the tires of the car and watched it swerve off the road. He listened to the occupants scream in fear. Quickly, a tall woman and a little girl rushed out of the car. However, they too were knocked off their feet by Morris's blasts. The young mother instinctively tried to protect her daughter. Morris approached them with a sinister grin.
"Welcome to the world of pain. I am Morris, your tour guide," said Morris.
"OH NO YOU DON'T!" yelled a menacing voice.
Morris looked over to see an angry, fiery redhead. She lunged at him and tackled the madman.
"RUN! HURRY, RUN!" yelled Jean to the frightened mother and her daughter.
Quickly, the young woman and her daughter got up and began to run back in the direction from where they came from. Morris, infuriated but unshaken, used his strength to force Jean off him. Then he tackled her.
"Come on child! Look me in the eye! Look at the face of raw fear!"
"GET OFF HER NOW!" yelled another menacing voice.
Then a blast of red light blew Morris off of Jean. Scott ran towards Jean who was still down on the ground.
"JEAN! Jean are you okay?!" asked Scott frantically yelled.
Jean slowly opened her eyes.
"Yeah......I'm okay. I didn't look him in the eye," she said.
"Good girl," replied Scott with a sigh of relief.
"ERRRR! YOU BASTARDS! YOU'RE BOTH FUCKING DEAD!" yelled Morris.
"Dream on psycho!" said a mysterious voice.
Morris looked to his left to see another assailant. Scott and Jean looked to see that it was Jack in the form his alter ego Link. Swiftly, he jumped and gave him a furious kick at his still blistering speed.
"It's time to show you that dark magic will never triumph over the power of light," said Link.
Morris got up with relative ease. Even in the presence of the hero of time he wasn't worried in the slightest.
"Oh shut up already asshole! The power of light, good triumphs over evil?" said Morris in a highly sarcastic tone. "I had a feeling I'd meet you hero of time. Cause isn't it a given that wherever there's dark forces the hero of time is not far behind to come and save the day? Give me a fucking break!"
Link drew his sword.
"You think you're so high and mighty don't ya Link. Well all the other dark forces know Link is never easily beaten......But this time I'm not going to fight Link. I'm going to fight Jack Robinson instead."
Link looked at him quizzically. Suddenly, the dragon staff began to glow. Link began to sweat in anxiety as Morris got closer. Morris began to smile ever more as he got closer and the light on his staff got brighter.
"Link is a true hero......But you have a weakness bub! Unfortunately, that weakness is yourself!" yelled Morris.
Then a flash of light from Morris's staff caused Link to keel over mysteriously. He closed his eyes and yelled.
"AHHHHHH, NO! AHHHHHHH!"

"AHHHHHH, NO! AHHHHHHH!"
