A/N: Here's the fifth chapter. I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for the reviews. You guys make me feel loved!

Rahne grunted as she was thrown into her cell with tremendous force. She rubbed her ass as she got up and met eyes with her thrower. He was a tall guy with blond hair and huge muscles.

"Couldn't you have just walked me into the cell?" Rahne asked.

"I'm Beef!" He yelled. "I don't do that."

"Ok, thanks, I didn't ask for your name," said Rahne.

"Too bad," he replied. He walked off and Rahne sat down on her bed. That guy was really stupid, though Rahne. She noticed that she was the last of the captured to be placed in her cell. There were ten cells in the room, five on each side. Rahne's cell was opposite of Samuel Guthrie's and on the end. Next to Samuel was Jubilation Lee, Bobby Drake, Roberto DaCosta, and an empty cell. Next to Rahne was Jamie Madrox, Tabitha Smith, and two other empty cells.

"Hey Rahne!" Samuel called.

"Hey," she replied, she was obviously unhappy.

"Rahne?" Jamie said yawning.

"Yeah, I'm here," she replied to Jamie who she couldn't see. "I'm going to sleep."

"Ok," said Samuel. Rahne morphed into a wolf and curled up on the bed. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep but she was thinking too much. All of the sudden, she morphed back into her human self.

"I have a plan!" She whispered. As she explained it to all of the captured mutants, they grew with excitement. The plan just might work. "You see, Jamie is excused from his cell to go to the bathroom and while he's in the bathroom, he creates a duplicate. His duplicate then goes back to the cell and then you Jamie, can get the spare hidden in the desk drawer."

"That's genius Rahne!" Samuel exclaimed.

"I could have done better," Roberto remarked.

"Shut up Roberto," said Jubilee.

"Rahne?" Tabitha asked. "How do you know there is a spare in there?"

"I saw that 'Beef' guy put one in there," said Rahne.

"But Rahne, usually when I make a duplicate, more than one appears," said Jamie. "I'm scared."

"Wuss," said Roberto.

"Roberto, if you open your mouth one more time, I'm going to blow you up," warned Tabitha.

"Jamie, don't be scared," Rahne said gently. "I'm sure if you concentrate hard enough you'll be able to just get one out. I'll be wishing you good luck."

"Yeah Jamie, I know you can do it," said Jubilee.

"Yeah Jamie, be adventurous," said Bobby.

"Ok.." He said nervously.

"Good luck!" Samuel whispered. Jamie nodded and cleared his throat.

"Logan!" Xavier called. The fierce mutant walked up to Xavier with a cigar in his mouth.

"Yeah?" He replied.

"You're not allowed to smoke in Cerebro," said Xavier. Logan took his unlit cigar and placed it in his pocket.

"So what did you want me for?" Logan asked.

"Cerebro has located Rahne Sinclair using her powers," he told Logan. He handed Logan a packet of information he received from Cerebro.

"What's this?" Logan inquired.

"It's the location of an underground base located in the outskirts of New Jersey," the professor explained. "I've printed out the coordinates and a diagram of the base. It's like a maze in there. I've marked where the mutants are being held and crucial entrance and exit points. Also, I've included information on a small group of mutants named The Black Manifesto."

"The Black Manifesto?" The adamantium-boned mutant asked. "What the hell is that?"

"It's a group of six mutants and a leader," began the professor. "Their leader is Ogun." Logan stopped in his tracks.

"Why the hell is he taking the New Mutants?" Logan asked, his anger rising.

"I don't know, that's why I want you to take this mission," Xavier said. Logan accepted the mission and he was scheduled to leave in three hours. As he walked out of Cerebro, he missed the scent of Katherine Pryde, who was hiding in a dark corner. A devilish smile spread on her face as she phased through the wall.

Logan couldn't believe that Ogun was behind this. A while back, Logan was involved with a Japanese woman of the name named Mariko Yashida. She was Logan's only true love. They were scheduled to get married until Mariko suddenly refused Logan. Much to Logan's dismay, he soon realized that Mastermind was behind Mariko's refusal. At that time, he was a student of Ogun's training in martial arts. Logan mastered the art with such grace and he became friends with Ogun until Ogun became demonic and began to possess the people close to him. He possessed Mariko and caused her to kill herself. From then on, Logan had hated Ogun with a passion.

Logan growled at the memories of his past and headed into his room to get ready and change into his uniform.

"Um.. Excuse me Mr. Beef Dude?" Jamie called.

"Yeah," he called back.

"I have to go to the bathroom," said Jamie. Beef groaned and got up from his desk in the other room.

"Jesus Christ, can't you kids go pee in your pants?" He said. Jamie gave him a disgusted look as Beef opened his cell. Beef led Jamie into the bathroom and then he went back to his desk.

In the bathroom, Jamie did really have to go pee. After using the toilet, Jamie washed his hands in the sink. He went back into the stall and placed his finger on the place where the door met the divider of the stall. Concentrating as hard as his twelve year old brain could, he slammed the door shut on his finger.

"OW!" He cried. He opened his eyes shaking. He looked around the stall and saw that he was alone. He looked out of the stall and noticed that there was only one duplicate of himself.

"You go back to your cell," Jamie told his duplicate. The duplicate nodded.

"Hey what was that ow for?" He heard Beef call.

"Go with him!" Jamie shoved the duplicate towards the door of the bathroom and Jamie hid inside of the stall.

"I fell," said the duplicate to Beef. The duplicate seemed very happy and obedient. Jamie expected this because each duplicate of himself has on strong trait of Jamie's and obedience was the one that this duplicate got. Jamie heard the door close and that was his cue. He opened the stall door and went over to the bathroom door. He peeked it open and saw no one at the desk. Jamie erupted out of the bathroom, opened the desk drawer and looked for the key. He found it and grasped it tightly. He heard Beef close the door and Jamie panicked. He found a dark corner near the entrance of the cell room. He hid in the shadows as Beef passed by. Jamie snuck into the cell room without making a sound. His heart was pounding. Rahne's eyes widened with excitement as Jamie came in the room with the key. He unlocked Rahne's cell and then proceeded with Samuel's, and he did this one by one until all of the captured were out.

"How are we going to get past meatloaf?" Tabitha asked.

"Attack him," said Roberto.

"Poor you, there's no solar energy," said Jubilee. Roberto got angry and overconfident.

"I could still take him down. Watch me," he said.

"No!" Jamie tried to stop him but Roberto went out of the cell room and jumped on the unsuspecting Beef.

"What the-?" said Beef. He took the Brazilian boy off of him and threw him into a big wall. Rahne winced at the sound of his body smacking into the wall.

"Shit!" Jubilee cursed. "He's coming in!" Jubilee ran and hid behind Samuel.

"We're gonna have to fight," said Tabitha. Beef came in and saw the kids out of their cells. He charged after them and they moved out of the way and went into the other room where there was more room. Rahne Sinclair, also known as Wolfsbane, morphed into her wolf form and took a big bite out of Beef's leg. He roared in anger and pain. He kicked Wolfsbane and she let out a yelp and smacked into a wall. Wolfsbane was knocked out. Beef marched over to Wolfsbane and was about to pound her when Jubilee sparked him in the eye. Beef clawed at his eyes, unable to see. Cannonball charged up and rammed himself into Beef. Beef hit the wall and some debris fell from the ceiling and landed on top of him. Boom Boom went up to him and checked to see if he was alive.

"I can't tell," she said. Beef's eyes opened and Tabitha let out a little scream. She quickly created little explosions and threw them at him. They did little damage and Beef swung at her. Boom Boom dodged the swing and Bobby iced the ground in front of him. Beef slipped and fell on his arse. Boom Boom threw more explosions at him just for the heck of it.

"I'm gonna send you to the frozen meat section!" Bobby declared. As he was getting ready to freeze Beef, a vine popped out of the ground and wrapped around him. Vines began to sprout up all over the room, grabbing each New Mutant.

"What is this?" Jubilee cried, struggling. Her question was soon answered.

"I am Ramrod," said a voice. "I can control all plant life."

"That explains a lot," said Bobby. Ramrod used his powers to place all of the New Mutants into their cells and locked the doors. He kept the spare key to himself.

"What is wrong with you, you idiot!" Ramrod yelled at Beef. "You let little kids outsmart you Randy?"

"Thanks for saving me," said Beef.

"From little children," he added. "You know, sometimes I think you are as dumb as a eight year old, but you're 18."

"So are you," said Beef.

"But I'm not stupid," added Ramrod.

Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, also known as Shadowcat, phased into the room of Rogue and her's.

"Amara! What are you doing in here!" Kitty said surprised.

"I got bored so I decided to look through your pictures," said Amara. Kitty rolled her eyes and looked over to Rogue.

"Rogue!" She called. "Come with me! And you too Amara!"

"Someone's a little too excited," said Rogue. Kitty grabbed Amara and Rogue and phased them into Lance's room.

"Thanks for knocking," said Lance. Ray and Lance were working on their homework. Kitty was literally bouncing all around the room.

"Wow," said Rogue. "Lance actually doing homework, that's a first." Lance did a fake laugh.

"So why are you so excited?" Lance asked.

"Come with me!" Kitty said. Ray and Lance grabbed on to Amara, Rogue, and Kitty and they all phased down to the X-jet loading area. She phased them into the blackbird and they hid in the back storage room.

"Why are we here?" Amara asked.

"Logan's going to go get the New Mutants and I want to help!" Kitty said excitedly. All she got were blank faces.

"You're crazy," said Rogue. "I'm leaving." Rogue got up and was about to leave when she heard Logan open the door for the X-jet. She jumped down and hit and cursed under her breath.

"God dammit," she cursed. "I have to go now." Logan prepped the X-jet and took off.

A/N (2): Wow, that was a really long chapter. I really enjoy writing this story. I hope you like it. Expect a sixth chapter soon!

I want to notify you of something: "Logan couldn't believe that Ogun was behind this. A while back, Logan was involved with a Japanese woman of the name named Mariko Yashida. She was Logan's only true love. They were scheduled to get married until Mariko suddenly refused Logan. Much to Logan's dismay, he soon realized that Mastermind was behind Mariko's refusal. At that time, he was a student of Ogun's training in martial arts. Logan mastered the art with such grace and he became friends with Ogun until Ogun became demonic and began to possess the people close to him. He possessed Mariko and caused her to kill herself. From then on, Logan had hated Ogun with a passion." The whole thing about Mariko killing herself because of Ogun's possession isn't true in the comics. I made that up as well for the story. Mariko Yashida and her loving Logan and vice versa isn't made up. I just wanted to clear that up.

Below is information about The Black Manifesto:

I'm sure a lot of you are wondering who The Black Manifesto is and who are the people in the group. I made the group name up because I thought it was cool. These people aren't original characters, they are from the comics. The only thing made up about them is the fact that they are in a group (because most of them had nothing to do with each other) and the name of the group. A lot of their names are unknown in the comics so I made them up. Enjoy!
