Chapter 9: Not Forgiving

Hank, Sean, Kurt and Emma are all walking together very quickly to the living room, Emma sends all the students a message to tell them to get in the living room as soon as possible. They all get there and look at the teachers.

"What's wrong, guys?" Bobby asked. He knew something had to be wrong by the expressions on the teacher's faces.

Emma gulped. "The Generation-X Institute has been… destroyed."

"WHAT?!" All the students had the same reaction.

"It's true." Hank commented. "Sean and I are going to go down there to see if there are any survivors left."

"How did this happen?" Rose asked.

"We don't know… all we know it's destroyed and the people down there might be destroyed with it." Hank said.

Sean looked at Hank, "Are ye ready?"

Hank looked back at him. "Yeah," he looked at everyone else. "We'll be back as soon as possible."

The next day Sean and Hank look around the destroyed property that is owned by Charles Xavier. Sean looks over at Hank. "Hank, how would anyone know about this place?"

Hank looked back at him, "I don't know, my friend. My guesses are Eric had something to do with all this…"

While they look under broken down walls and bricks, a voice is heard, "Help… is anyone there…?"

Sean looked behind his shoulder and ran where the voice has been heard.

"Where are ye??" Sean exclaimed, throwing bricks left and right.

Hank went over to Sean and helped him look around that area. After a minute they see a hand reach out for help. Hank picks up the person and stands up. Sean looks at them, "Are ye alright, Siren?" Sean asked his daughter.

She looked at him, barely keeping her eyes open. "…Dad…?"

He looked at her, hoping that this isn't the end. "I'm here, hunny. Don't ye worry…"

"Daddy… I know who did this…"

Sean eyes bugged out. "Who was it?"

Siren opened her mouth to say something, but then a card fell from above, a card that looked like it was charged up and ready to explode. Hank looks at it. "The Ace of Spades."

He then realizes it's about to explode by them.

"Oh my stars and garters…" Hank said and then ran with Siren on his shoulders.

The card blows up and Remy, a.k.a. Gambit, comes falling down to where the card was. He was followed by Cyclops, Wolverine and Magneto.

"Eric?! What are you doing here??" Hank asked and then laid Siren down.

"Why, Hank, I'm just here to test out if my new BrotherHood can defeat anyone," Magneto looked around with a smile on his face, "and I guess I was right after all."

"Ye are sick!" Sean exclaimed.

Hank looked at Scott and Logan. "So, you did take out own men?"

"I want only the best of the best to be in my BrotherHood." Eric said and then continued. "Soon we shall attack your precious mansion, but first I want to see how good you two are at defending yourselves."

Eric then flew away and Wolverine went to jump on Sean but Sean screams and Logan is thrown back. Scott goes to blast Hank but Hank jumps over it and drop kicks Scott. Gambit gets out his bo staff and hits Banshee on the head and he falls on the ground. Logan gets up and jumps on Beast. Gambit smiles and gets ten cards out of his coat pocket. He charges them both up to a high level and tosses them to Siren. As those cards fall slowly, Banshee screams for his daughter to move. He knows he doesn't have enough time to save her, and as he thought that the cards land on Siren and everything around her within a few feet blow up. Wolverine, Cyclops and Gambit then leave, with smiles on their faces.

Banshee gets up and runs to his daughter to see how she is. He reads for a pulse on her.

Hank glances over, waiting for Sean to say something. After a few seconds Sean's eyes fill up with tears, and he wraps his arms around Siren and places his head on her chest. Hank puts down his head and frowns.

Back at the mansion everyone awaits the return of Sean and Hank and Professor X.

Bobby looks at Emma. "You think is OK?"

She looked back at him. "I hope so, Robert."

Cyrus then walks up to Emma and Bobby and looked at Bobby. "Yo, Bob, are you ready to go?"

"Yeah." Bobby replied.

Emma looked at them, "where are you guys going?"

"To the movies." Cyrus replied.

"Who's all going?" Emma asked

"Well.. me, Bob, Rose and Rogue." Cyrus said.

Emma sighed, knowing that she can't keep them from doing what teenagers love to do.

"Alright, fine. Go have fun. But don't ever let your guard down; Eric and his BrotherHood are out there searching for us."

Bobby smiled. "OK, MOM, we'll be good kids."

She looked at him. "Please, Robert, you know I hate it when you call me mom, even when you're joking."

Later on that night Angelo is in his room reading a book, and Emma and Kurt are still waiting for the others in the kitchen.

"Do you think that Charles is OK?" Kurt asked while sipping on coffee.

"I would hope so—" Emma was cut off by a blast from outside shooting at Angelo room.

They both stood up within a second after that blast went off.

"Who was that?" Kurt asked.

"I don't know… I wouldn't know how they got past all the security…" Emma said and search to see who's outside. Her eyes widened. "It was Scott… he's here, and he's attacking."

Emma stepped outside only to see Scott staring at her.

"What has gotten into you, Summers?" She asked.

He looked at her, not saying a word.

She looked confused. "What's the matter?" She searches him and detected a strange piece of metal on him that seems to be located on the back of his neck.

She looks behind her back and looks at Kurt. "Some kind of metal must be controlling Scott and Logan, and I bet you Eric placed those there—" Emma was stopped again and she fell on her knees, holding her head screaming.

Betsy walks out of the bushes laughing. "Oh, Emma, you're not the only telepathic here, you know?"

Emma turns her head and looks at Kurt, "get… help…"

Kurt gasped and said, "Alright."

Right before he bamfed he was stabbed in the right arm with a spear made of metal. His jaw dropped and Eric stood behind him and punched his head and Kurt collapsed.

"You pathetic, X-Men." Eric said standing over Kurt's body.

Eric looked around and notices some students are missing.

"BrotherHood, get ready to go out and find the other X-Men."
