AN: I'm skipping ahead of my time-table a bit, but that just means that I can use what I had planned for here later on.
This means but one thing to all of you.
This fic will be over in five chapters, six if you count epilogue.
Conclusion Saga Part 1: Master of Magnetism.
(AN: great way to start the chapter, I know. But hey, I can only give fair warning. HORRIBLY CLICHÉ'D SUPERVILLIAN POWERTRIP/SPEECH COMING SOON)
As the world watched with baited breath for no less than one week, the X-Men battled their way through the hell that was Avalon. Finally, they reached one final elevator, which bore a button bearing the one number they had been beginning to think they'd never see.

Heading up into the control center of Avalon, the X-Men teams saw that, while they had some serious injuries, including Piotr's electrical burns, and Rahne's broken right arm, they were, on whole, rather lucky.
"Ah, you've arrived." Said Magneto.
"We completed your little 'playground' Magneto. Let the Professor go, and find somewhere else to park this god damned funhouse of yours." Demanded Scott.
"Not quite yet, young one. You still have one more level. This one."
"You want us to fight you?" asked Roberto, disbelievingly. "The room doesn't have one bit of metal in it. It's all plastic."
"Of course. It makes the fight fairer for you." Said Magneto.
"Before we begin." He continued, "Would you like to know the stakes that ride on this battle?"
"What? There's, like, more to this than you told us?" asked Kitty.
"Yes."
"Tell us then." Said Lorna.
"If you win this battle, than I will leave off my war on humanity.
"And if we lose?" asked Alex
"If you lose, which you will. I will level the city of New York. I will then proceed to collect all the mutants of Alpha and Omega classes I can find, and bring them aboard, then level the cities of the world, so that we may start again anew."
"You're talking genocide." Said Kurt. "I vould have tought that a Holocaust survivor would not do such a thing."
"You thought wrong." Said Magneto.
"Well, whatever we thought right or wrong, we can't let you do this." Said Paige.
"You intend to stop me, girl?" Demanded Magneto.
"No. We ALL intend to." Said Kyle, as he settled into a martial arts position.
And with that statement, the battle was joined.
(Post Chapter AN: Short, I know. Expect Part 2: Mind War, by around 12 o'clock.)
