THE SPIDER EVOLVES

Dark Reflections

Professor Xavier was in his study, looking at his map of the world... there were many, many mutants and he had to help reach them, and make them understand. It was alittle easier with now two 'schools' (X-men and X-Factor), but nowhere near enough to help them all. It was a hard task, and although he hated to admit it, he was begin to feel the strain.

"Come in, Peter." The Professor said.

*Knock knock knock*

Peter then opened the door frowning,

"I wish you wouldn't do that Professor," he said walking in

Charles smiled.

"What can I do for you?" he asked.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, going back home to Queens."Peter stated, he never believed in sneaking around the point, and a spoon couldn't be any blunter then him at times.

"I see, have you discussed this with your Aunt?" Charles replied.

Peter nodded, "Yeah, I have."

Before the coversation could go any farther, the X-men's alarm went off.

Peter sighed "Too much to hope it's a farewell party?"

"I'm afraid so, suit up and meet the others in the forest," Charles frowned "I can sense the brotherhood...and another life form...but it's odd...."

Peter however had already gone, leaping, jumping and running down the hallway.

*** The forest near bayville high ***

The team known as the X-men moved causiously, it was in affect a new team, with Evan, Scott and Jean elsewhere, Magma had been promoted to the main team and Havok and Polaris had joined the X-men.

Wolverine growled, "Heads up kids, they're all around us."

Spider-man's spider sense was howling, then the earth began to shake.

"Whoa, whoa whoa!" said Spider-man, "Who's been at the curry?!"

No had a chance to laugh or complain, as the Toad, Pyro, Sabretooth, Avalanche, The Blob, Gambit and Magneto appeared.

"Turn back now, Bucket Head." snarled Wolverine "We out number you."

"I don't know," Said Spider-man "Lardo-lad there counts for at least five men."

The Blob inraged by Spider-man's joke charged at him, however Spidey easily avoided him and slamed straight into a tree, when Spidery landed on all fours just infront of the blob he added,

"Each with the relative I.Q of a dustbunny."

***

Charles Xavier was watching the fight between the two teams, over all the X-men where winning, but Wolverine was going one on one with Magneto.

"I think it's time to introduce our newest player." said Magneto.

With that a man built like building stept out dressed in black with a white spider symbol on, it took everyone a spilt second to realise that his mask was actually his face, with two rows of jagged teeth and a slim covered tounge.

"The Symboite...." whispered Spider-man.

Spidey and the symboite tusseled away from the main fight, leaving Magneto alone with Wolverine.

Wolverine lept at Magneto, and was suspended in mid-air by the master of magnatism.

"I have had enough of your meddling, you filthy mutt." Magento said with rage, and suddenly, holes started appearing in Wolverine's body and the admantinum was pulled from his skeleton, Wolverine slumped to the ground.

Nightcrawler had since this, and lept at Magneto, delivering a well placed punch to his chin and knocking his helmet off, and Charles, enraged by what his former friend had done, took advantage.

Charles? Asked Magneto.

Good bye, Eric. Said Charles and with that shut off his mind and 'reset' his brain.

The brotherhood fled, but Peter and the symboite where still missing, and as for Logan......

To be continued.....
