Chapter 6: The War

A/N You wanted it! I'm giving it! And here it is! The grand finale! The End. The Final Chapter!!! Are You Ready????!!!!

Professor Xavier sat at his desk doing paperwork when the phone rang. "Hello?" He asked kindly

"Ah, Charles. Good to hear from you old friend. You are prepared for war tomorrow right?" Magneto's voice sounded through the phone.

"Eric we don't have to show up you know. If we don't go, that will let them we're not interested in a fight" Xavier remained calm

"Charles you still don't get it. If we don't show they'll come and attack us, at least if we go, we'll be ready." Magneto argued. Then the ever familiar music began

"Try to see it my way, Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?" -Magsy "Why you see it your way? Run the risk of knowing that our lives may soon be gone" Prof.

"We can work it out, We can work it out" -Both

"Think of what you're saying, You can get it wrong and still you think that it's all right". -----prof.

"Think of what I'm saying, We can work it out and get it straight or say goodnight" -magsy

"We can work it out, we can work it out" Both

"Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend" Magsy

"I have always thought, that it's a crime, So I will ask you once again.Try to see it my way, Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong" Prof

"Why you see it your way, There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long" Magsy

"We can work it out, We can work it out." Both

"Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend." Magsy

"I have always thought that it's a crime, So I will ask you once again. Try to see it my way. Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong" Prof.

"Why you see it your way? There's a chance that we might fall apart Before too long" Magsy

"We can work it out, We can work it out" Both (song ends)

"Charles, we've tried it your way long enough. Can't you see the war is already here, the don't want peace with us and I'm going to see that they and not us are the ones who are defeated. You can either join with me or fight with them." Magsy finished and there was a long pause

"Eric do you really that fighting with them is going to help our survival? Fighting them only shows that we in return don't want peace with them."

"Charles like I said you have a choice, tomorrow I'm going to war." With that magsy hung up

MEANWHILE AT A TEACHER'S CONFERENCE

"See what I'm thinking is that next year what we could do is the children only have one class a day for an extended amount of time and then the next day they'll go to a different class" jean stood at the head of the table using a pointer on a large sheet of paper

"Jean the only problem I see with that is we don't have enough teachers to do that for all the grades" Ororo spoke up

"Well the school seems pretty laid back during the summer so only half the students the high school portion will go on summer vacation. During the time we'll teach the younger students and then they'll go on vacation when the older students attend class."

"I don't know Jean, it still requires a lot of teachers, sure we can rotate the students but getting the different grades in would make for an extremely long day." Scott spoke his mind

"Jean I know teaching the student's isn't easy but they way we have it now is best" Ororo then stood on the table and then entered the music.

"At first I was afraid, I was petrified, Kept thinkin' I could never teach all these kids of mine, But then I spent so many nights thinkin' how important is, And I grew strong, and I learned how to get along,

And so you want to change our ways, I just walked in to find you here with that worried look on your face, I should've worked a little harder, I should've had that talk with you, If I had known for just one second you'd wanna change the things we do,

Oh now go, walk out that door, Just turn around now, and teach forever more, Weren't you the one who tried to teach me to be the best, Did you think I'd crumble, did you think I'd fail your little test

Oh no not I, I will survive, Oh as long as I know how to teach, I know I'll stay alive, I've got all my life to learn; I've got all past to teach, I'll survive, I will survive, Hey, Hey!" Ororo finished her portion

(musical)

"It took all the strength I had not to fall apart, Just trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken car, And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself, I used to sigh, but now I hold my head up high, And you see me, somebody new, I'm not that stupid little person who got in trouble in school, And so you felt like changin' our ways, expectin' me to see, Now I'm savin' all my teachin' for someone who's learnin' from me

Oh now go, walk out the door, Just turn around now, and teach forever more, Weren't you the one who tried to teach me to be the best, Did ya think I'd crumble, did ya think I wouldn't past your silly test,

Oh no not I, I will survive, Oh as long as I know how to teach I know I'll stay alive, I've got all my life to learn, I've got all the garage to teach, I'll survive, I will survive. Ooooh" Scott then sang his portion

"nananananananananananananananananana....

Oh now go, walk out the door Just turn around now, and teach forever more Weren't you the one who tried to to me to be the best, Did you think I'd crumble, did you think I'd fail your test Oh no not I, I will survive Oh as long as I know how to teach I know I'll stay alive I've got all my life to learn, I've got all my work to teach I'll survive, I will survive I will survive" and everyone including Jean finished Gloria Gaynor's song with pride

"Attention all students and faculty starting immediately prepare for the war, everyone under 12 go to the secret hiding place, everyone else practice your powers?" The professor came over the intercom and informed everyone of their duties

"Students if you're in grades 11th and 12th please report to the gymnasium" jean yelled over everyone in the hallway

"You know what this means?" John sat amongst his circle of friends changing the size and shape of the fireball in his hands. "We're going to war against our parents and old friends who deserted us" As John spoke those last words the fireball got increasingly larger until it fell out of his hands and encircled everyone in the room.

"John it's a little hot in here for a fire you" Kitty commented taking her jacket off and tying it around her waist. Then the music started

"really? I thought the temperature was just right." The lights went out as John (who was now used to singing) put on a fire show around a blushing Kitty

I was like, good gracious gal is bodacious Uh, flirtatcious, tryin to show patience Lookin for the right time to shoot my steam (you know) Waitin for the right time to flash them keys Then um I'm leavin, please believin Oh, Me and the rest of my heathens Check it, got it locked at the top of the four seasons Penthouse, roof top, birds are feedin No deceivin, nothin up my sleeve and, no teasin I need you to get up up on the dance floor Give that man what he askin for (oh) Cuz I feel like bustin loose and I feel like touchin you (ah, ah) And cant nobody stop the juice so baby tell me whats the use

"I assume you all are ready then?" Jean lead everyone out.

THE NEXT MORNING

"Now we're going to do this in an orderly fashion, assuming the mutants already know how we feel about them, they'd like to say a few words" The President stepped aside and Magneto and the Professor stepped up

"You all are in over your heads, do you really think today's weapons will even dent our surface, we're stronger than you think" Magneto started

"Eric that's not helping, If you won't listen to me then listen to the children. Your children. Your own flesh and blood that you've denied and thrown to the streets. Then entered the music (avril lavigne's Losing Grip)

"Are you aware of what you make me feel, mommy? right now I feel invisible to you, like I'm not real Didn't you feel me lock my arms around you? Why'd you turn away? Here's what I have to say

I was left to cry there Waiting outside there Grinning with a lost stare That's when I decided" Siren girl began

"Why should I care? Cause you weren't there When I was scared I was so alone You, You need to listen I'm starting to trip I'm losing my grip And I'm in this thing alone" All the children (not highschoolers) sang

"Am I just some child you placed beside you to take somebody's place? When you turn around can you recognize my face? You used to love me you used to hug me but that's not the case everything isn't okay

I was left to cry there Waiting outside there Grinning with a lost stare That's when I decided" A young boy sang second

"Why should I care? Cause you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone You! You need to listen I'm starting to trip I'm losing my grip and I'm in this thing alone

Crying out loud I'm crying out loud crying out loud I'm crying out loud

Open your eyes open up wide

Why should I care? Cause you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone

Why should I care? Cause you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone

Why should I care? If you don't care then I don't care we're not going anywhere

Why should I care? Cause you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone

Why should I care? if you don't care then I don't care we're not going anywhere" Everybody but the teachers finished.

"Now the older students would like a word, they're the ones that have lived with you for 15 years or so" The professor again stood aside as John, Bobby, Kitty, Rogue, Jubilee, & Amara stood up then the music began (Edwin Starr's "War")

"Well with that I guess we've shared our side of the story and we will fight as you wish" The professor said in closing the wheeled away to the other teachers

"Wait! My baby! You're not going to shoot any bullets at my baby! Back away let me through!" a Dark haired woman poured through the crowd and walked right past Xavier and picked up Siren and held her close against her. "This is my child, mutant or not she is my child and that will never change. I don't know about the rest of you but I'm not putting my baby in danger. I fear mutants like everyone else and we only give them reason to hate us. Why with us always treating them like some disease I'd want to run away too. My child is not a demon, a monster, or anything else along that line. She is a little girl who ran away from a society that scared her. Now I no longer support this war one bit" The lady continued to hug and cry over siren who was crying as well

"I'm not letting my Catherine get shot"

"Daddy?" Kitty shouted as a grey haired man came through the crowd and ran up to hug her. "My Kitten has never hurt anything or anyone in her life and she never would. I Sent her to this school hoping she would be safe there, but even separated from the public we can't leave them in peace" The man stood next to Xavier who smiled at him and Siren's mom

"Robert Drake don't you even think of fighting, I care more about you then at times more then I was willing to admit, I'm not about to let you stand up against someone with guns." Bobby's mother ran up and hugged her son

"Don't you see, they're trying to fool you! Getting you to let your guard down! The moment you allow them back in your house they'll kill you a." The man in the back of the ground was shot off far into the distance

"do shut-up" Magneto had caused him to take his flight

This time every last person sang as people from the crowds began walking up and hugging and retrieving their loved ones. The president even found his 'kidnapped' daughter

"Why can't we be friends (4x)

I've seen you 'round for a long long time I remembered you when you drank my wine

Why can't we be friends (4x)

I've seen you walking down in Chinatown I called you but you could not look around

Why can't we be friends (4x)

I paid my money to the welfare line I see you standing in it every time

Why can't we be friends (4x)

The color of your skin don't matter to me As long as we can live in harmony

Why can't we be friends (4x)

I'd kind of like to be the President So I can show you how your money's spent

Why can't we be friends (4x)

Sometimes I don't speak right But yet I know what I'm talking about

Why can't we be friends (4x)

I know you're working for the CIA They wouldn't have you in the Mafi-A.

Why can't we be friends (16x)?"

The last sentence kind of faded off as John realized his was being shook

"Come on man, you fell asleep. You have to study or you'll never pass finals tomorrow" Bobby gave his friend a concerned look

"Let's go to the kitchen to study that way we can eat. So wait you mean we haven't taken Jean's final or anything yet" John looked at Bobby as they descended the stairs

"No we haven't, you ok?"

"yeah I'm great"

"I'm blue if I was green I would die, if I was toad I would die, if I was green I would die (I'm blue)" Kurt sang while passing john and bobby in the kitchen. John had a very shocked look on his face but continued to the kitchen with bobby

A/N: So what'd you think? I worked super hard trying to make this last chapter good. I'm sorry to everyone who wanted Kurt to sing a whole song but for what I was using him for it wouldn't have worked so I do apologize. Oh and hint, hint. If I get enough reviews I am considering making a sequel and Kurt will probably have a larger song role. So R&R I love y'all! -Shitaka
