Disclaimer: Me no own nothing - except Magneto's cool machine.

Sorry to anyone who's confused, I'm trying to explain what's going on as well as I can, in fact - I'm quite pleased this story is coming together so well!! Probably only 3 or 2 more chappi's to go - an I know I've been saying this for almost 2 days now - but I mean it this time!!

Sorry for not getting a chappi up yesterday! I'm weighed down by homework!

*************************************************************************

I suppose a lot of people are wondering where Kurt is. He was wondering that too - so you're not alone with your thoughts. He was certain that he'd seen - or been in, that place before, but he couldn't work out how or when.

**It vas so veird** He thought, **It felt like I was being pulled backvards into a 'port,** Whatever it was that had happened, he didn't want it to happen again, It'd made him slightly nauseous.

Kurt decided to sit down, on a large jagged rock, jutting up from the ground. He looked around again and his mouth twitched slightly with annoyance. He was getting annoyed with himself for not knowing where he was, or why he was there. Not that it was his fault though...Or maybe it was, maybe it was a new power he had.

Meanwhile, Back with The X-Men and The Brotherhood. Logan, Xavier and Ororo had finally shown up. They departed the X jet and came upon a strange scene.

Lance stood with his folded, grinning. With Wanda, Tabitha and Freddy behind him. A little way off from them stood Pietro, who was pale and surprisingly still, and Todd, who had a bewildered yet worried look on his face. Then a little way off from THEM were Magneto and Mystique, looking more devious than usual.

Immediately, all three adults were on their guards.

Opposite The Brotherhood stood The X-men. Evan, Bobby and Rogue standing on one side of the path, spaced out and looking worried and angry. Then on the opposite side of the path, Scott and Jean stood closer together, muttering things to each other.

"Where's the elf?" Asked Logan immediately after scanning the crowd of mutants.

"I'm glad you asked that question!" Piped up Lance again, he unfolded his arms and grinned at everyone. There was a smug sort of air around him that didn't suit him at all.

"That's not Lance." Stated Charles quietly to Logan and Ororo. "He's being controlled, all of them are..." He paused and placed his fingertips together, silently watching the crowd until his eyes rested on Todd and Pietro. "...Except those two..."

"Like I said before," Started Lance loudly, interrupting the professor. "We...Sorry, they, put Kurt in a place where Mystique would never have to look at him again!" He pointed to Magneto and Mystique who were still standing in the shadows being quiet.

Too quiet.

"Basically, it took a long time and a lot of effort on Magneto's part. But finally he enhanced his powers, there's this cool machine that Magneto built that gives you any power you want, for a certain amount of time, and Magneto chose psychic, then combined it with Telekinesis, kind of like you Xavier. Well, whatever it is, he managed to plant the scene's of Kurt attacking people, (Which, remember, was really Mystique), into Kurt's head - he probably got a headache or something, and then he even managed to fool you! Oh yeah, an where Kurt is - right, with his new skills, Magneto managed to reverse the effects of Kurt's teleport, and then halt it before Kurt had a chance to reappear. So basically he's trapped in that dimension he has to go through!" Lance let out a short, loud laugh.

"That will be all." Magneto's voice rang out coldly. Then The Brotherhood (Minus Todd and Pietro) Suddenly let out cries of astonishment and covered their eyes. Tabitha looked up, her eyes bleary.

"What? What's going on here? Where are we?" She asked, looking round bewildered.

"I've had Mesmero undo the affects of the mind control." Stated Magneto simply.

Lance rounded on him angrily, sort of. "MIND CONTROL?! You were controlling my mind?! Er - Sir?!" The ground rumbled slightly under everyone's feet as Lance got annoyed.

Magneto nodded shortly. "There was no other way that you would comply with my plans unless you where under strict control. Seeing as my plans have been completed I have no other use for you."

"Butwhataboutus?" Asked Pietro. A silvery blue blur suddenly shot across the path and then Pietro was standing next to his father. "WhataboutmeandTodd?"

"He didn't have to control your minds, it was obvious you two were going to make friends with him." Answered Mystique with a slight sneer to her voice. Pietro's eyebrow twitched like it always did when he was beginning to get annoyed.

"So this was just a big plan to get Kurt out of the picture?" Asked Pietro. His voice slow and calm, and dangerously quiet.

"Yo! Why?!" Asked Todd, jumping slightly to get closer to Magneto, Mystique and Pietro.

"Don't you know? Kurt could be the only thing that could save mankind. With him gone, there is a chance that mankind will perish, and with mankind gone, there is no one to stop mutants from taking over!" Cried Magneto.

"You forgot one thing!" Scowled Scott, as there was a puff of smoke and a flash of light. Then Kurt appeared looking dazed and slightly pale under his blue fuzz. The affect of being dragged backwards into a teleport had completely smashed up his image inducer, so he'd left it lying in the other dimension.

Magneto's mouth thinned as he laid eyes on Kurt. "How?"

Scott ignored him and finished his sentence.

"There will be one thing left to stop mutants taking over - other mutants!"

Raskolion Phoenix: YaaaY! You guessed right!!! In fact you've been guessing right most of the story, lol, that's why I was jumping around going "DON'T GUESS!" Cause you'd already figured out half of the story, lol. Me and my mate Midge have started a new one together, an I've got another one that's a quarter written in my notebook. It's something to do with crummy school funding, a class trip and kurt being poisoned!! ^_^

Fantasy Cat: Kurt-Fuzz!! Aww!! I'm adding that to my list of nicknames for him!! Hehe, I thought some people would be happy too know what's going on!!

Nightcrawler03: Lol!! Should I put a warning at the top of the page to say "Make sure you don't read this chapter before the last!!" Hehe, glad u like the chappi's!!

Jacombo: Yeah - but it was Lance or Freddy's fault!! They were being controlled see! READ THE CHAPPI AGAIN IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME!! Don't blame Lance or Freddy!! I'm just beginning to like them an all!!

Invader ZaiFae: Well...Thanks to you my mom thinks I'm nuts!! I read your review and the bit where you said "I don't? Poo." Just got to me, an the next thing I knew I was leaning back in the chair laughing my head off, lol. He wasn't dead, just stuck!! But the Brotherhood figured that he'd die of starvation or something.

LewsTherinSanity: I'm trying to make it as easy for people to follow as I can, but I spent ages trying to think up how to explain it, but I couldn't, so I tortured Lance until he agreed to do it ^_^

Kiki Cabou: *Screams* *Panics* *Runs head first into a wall* Ow...I think you found out in this chappi, if not, then it's tomorrow's chappi, lol.

XM6: I TOLD YOU! The idea is not stored in my brain, it's in my foot! An no one wants to go near my feet, lol.

Duck: I do! It's cool, and more people review if I leave a cliffhanger!! Lol! *Gets freaked out by the number of times she received this review* Did u press okay or enter or send more than once or something??

Roguehobbit: Most other people figured it out, not saying your stupid for not guessing, lol. I'm glad you didn't guess, it was freaking me out cause people had figured out most of the plot line in the first couple of chappi's!!

blackwidow10: This chappi is longer!! Kidnappings are cool as long as the person being kidnapped gets to be horrible tortured before they're rescued....I have a sick mind....
