Sorry Chaper two took me so long and is so short.
To Jean Summers47:
Yes, there shall! And these pairings will be: Rogue/Remy, Jean/Scott, Madeline/Scott, Kitty/Peter, Alex/Lorena, Crystal/Pietro and Warron/Betsy.
To GS335:
I'm sorry you feel that way. As for the rest of what you said, you'll have to wait for the rest of the story!
To Lyrafan:
I love Destint too! ^.^
To Sunset Rose:
Thanx!
To Sarah-Crysala:
Sorry it took so long.
To stargirl2004:
I don't know about that. My friend, B.C. Dragon, made all the settings. So I don't know what she did about that. Srry for the inconvernoice! Or however you spell that word...
Any way, here it is, so enjoy!
Chapter Two:
An explosion shook the earth.
"Lance!" yelled the Brotherhood.
"Crystal!" Yelled Vision and Lorena.
"Not me!" said Lance and Crystal at the same time.
Lorena took charge.
"Vision!" she yelled, "scan! Now! Crystal, see if you can get the earth to stop shacking! I'll get us a magnetic field. And don't say anything, Vision, I know you can't scan with magnetic waves, so go to armour form and make sure nothing hits you."
The Brotherhood stood around like idiots.
"Shouldn't someone be all taking charge of us, yo?" said Todd.
Lorena glared at them.
"Do you all want to live?" she asked.
"Well, sure," said Pietro.
"THEN GET OVER HERE UNDER MY SHIELD, DAMN IT!"
They quickly obeyed.
Rouge was leaving the office, when she heard a shudder go through the house and screams echo through the halls.
"What tha- -?" she began to ask, but was cut off by Wolverine shoving past her.
"Get suited up!" he yelled as he shoved his mask over his head. "The mansion's under attack!"
"I can't pick up anything," said Vision. "All I can tell is that they are big! And possibly mechanical!"
"Okay," said Lorena, "Who would not do good in a fight against something big and mechanical?"
Nobody made a move.
She sighed.
"Okay, if your all going to be this way, someone volunteer to go with Vision to the InHuman headquarters, so he can warn Blackbolt and Medusa that we are under attack."
"WHAT?" asked Vision. "Why do I have to go? I might be of possible help- -"
"No," said Lorena, "You wouldn't be. What if I have to use my powers, humm? You would be a handy-cap. And even if this isn't something big, I do not want to risk it."
There was silence.
"So," she said, "Who's going?"
Rogue stumbled into the reck room, which was, apparently…recked. The roof had been ripped off, and two very big robots that had to have been colour schemed by Queer Eye for the Straight Guy…pink and purple.
"That has to be, like, the GAYEST robot I have ever, like SEEN," said Kitty behind her, hands on hips.
"However…um…odd-looking it is, we have to stop it," said Jean, "it tore off the roof!"
"We can all see that, Jean," said Rogue.
"I was making a point," replied Jean, "no need to get smart."
Rogue was about to open her mouth to say something when one of the robots said, "Mutant Target found," and slapped some metal bonds on Jean.
"Hey!" said Jean, expanding a psychic bubble, popping off the bonds, and glaring at it.
"Since when could you do that?" asked Scott who had magically appeared in the room, zapping the robot who had entrapped Jean a moment ago. She shrugged.
"A while," she said, undoing some screws holding up the head of the second robot. "The professor has been expanding my powers, and I can fly better, too."
"You could fly?" Asked Kurt, teleporting to one of the robots ands that was gripping some students. He teleported himself and the students safely to the ground. They ran away screaming.
"Sissies," muttered Wolverine, chopping the arms off the second robot, also releasing students from it's grasp.
"Not everyone is a hardened killer like you," remarked Strom who had just arrived with Spike and Hank. She made a wind lift up the arm and fly through the hole in the roof.
"Could you get anymore blunt, my dear lady?" asked Hank.
"Since when did we carry on conversations during a battle?" asked Scott. "It's not a very good habit to suddenly make. What if this happened while we battled Magneto?"
"Ah, I vouldn't vorry about it," said Kurt, teleporting around the robot, distracting it as Hank tried to look for some sort of off switch. "Zis kind of thing happens all ze time on Spider-Man! He alvays vins in ze end, too!" Hank discovered that if you destroyed the big round circle thing in the middle of the robot, it would shut down. This was because Cyclops zapped the first one there, and it well…shut down.
"Well, I got news fer you, bub," said Wolverine as he attacked the second robot in the center of the chest, "we ain't no comic book heroes."
Wanda tried to keep up with the robot, but he moved at in-human speed.
"Would you PLEASE slow down?" she huffed after him.
"I will slow down when you speed up," he replied casually.
"What kind of answer is that?" she asked, glaring at his back.
"The kind an android gives," he said with a shrug.
So that's why he moves so fast, thought Wanda, struggling to keep up. Suddenly, he skidded to stop.
"Looks like we're in luck," he said. He gave her a side-long glance.
"Well, YOU'RE in luck, actually."
"And how is this?" asked Wanda, catching up beside him, panting.
"Found Lockjaw," said Vision. He pointed to a lake. Wanda's eyes grew very big. At the edge of the lake there was a bulldog with what looked like a miniature football post on it's head, lapping up the water. Only this was a really BIG dog. Nearly twice the size Wanda was.
"O m g." Said Wanda.
The Brotherhood stood silent for once. It must have been the two female InHuman's charming personality. Crystal had long since gotten the ground to stop shaking. Everything was quite and still.
"Like the lull before the storm," muttered Lorena. They stood still. All but Pietro. He was moving, but it was so fast you couldn't tell.
Suddenly, a noise echoed through the woods.
"What was that?" asked Todd rather loudly.
"I don't know," said Crystal, "But it sounded mechanical.
They stood for a moment, waiting.
Two very large pink and purple robots came though the clearing.
"What the hell is that? Gay R-2 D-2???" asked Lorena, sending a magnetic pulse that way. They fell on the ground with a large thud.
"That was fast," said Freddy.
"Whoever sent them," said Pietro, "was NOT well equipped."
` "Or just stupid," said Lance.
The X-Man sat around the round table in The XIFHL (Xavier Institute for Higher Learning) waiting for the Professor to come. It was taking a while.
When he did get in, he looked quite frazzled.
"I must say this quick, for we do not have much time," he said, rummaging through some papers that he had brought with him.
"What we just faced were Sentinels, and they were made with one target in mind."
"Lemme guess," Said Logan, "Mutants?" Storm sighed.
"It always seems to be us, doesn't it?" she asked sadly.
"These things did not just attack us," said the professor. "From what I can tell, it went to two others, The New York base of the Hellfire club, and on the edge of the InHuman forest by here."
"I know someone that lives near there," said Jean. "I hope she's all right."
"Ms. Dane, is it not?" asked Hank.
"What is the Hellfire club?" asked Strom.
"I…am not sure," said Xavier. "All I know is that it is originally based in Britain, and that some very rich companies support it."
"So why does this mettin' have ta be quick?" asked Rogue.
"They managed to take a few people from the Hellfire Club," said the Professor, "and into space. You need to go there and get them before anything happens."
"Oh no!" Said Rogue, "Jean has ta stay here! Professah, remember what ah told ya? She can't go or it'll be Apocalypse all over a gain." She narrowed her eyes. "only not as pretty."
"Rogue, all I recall you telling me was that your Aunt Irene was very impatient," said the Xavier, eyeing her.
"Look Professah, it can all be explained in the book- -" started Rogue.
"We don't have much time. But if you say that Jean REALLY needs to be held back, then so be it. But you're staying with her. End of discussion, we need to hurry. I'm going to Muir Island, to visit an old friend. I'll take this little book with me and read it there. Hank is coming with me. I trust the mansion to you and Jean."
He nodded to the rest of the X-Men.
"Time to depart."
When Vision and Wanda reached the InHuman base of operations, Wanda still did not believe what had happened.
"So this DOG- -" she said.
"Lockjaw," corrected Vision.
"So LOCKJAW," said Wanda, "can teleport? Since when were there mutant DOGS?"
"There isn't any," said Vision. "And Lockjaw isn't even a dog. He is from another planet."
"And what would this planet be CALLED," asked Wanda. "Mars?"
"No," said Vision. "The Moon."
"He's from the moon?" asked Wanda flatly.
"The blue side of the moon," stated Vision matter-of-fact. Wanda rolled her eyes.
"Whatever," she said. Suddenly, Vision got onto his knees as if he was bowing.
"Lady Medusa, Lord Black Bolt," he said.
Wanda directed her line of Vision to the direction in which he was bowing. There stood a woman in purple with long flowing red hair, that seemed to be alive, and a man wearing all black with a black scarf tightly covering his mouth. On his fore head was the same thing that Lockjaw had on his.
"Dear Lord…" said Wanda.
"So…now what to we do?" asked Fred.
"We wait for…uh Wanda was it? Yes, we wait for Wanda and Vision," said Lorena.
"And what do we do after that?" asked Pietro. Crystal shrugged.
"You will pledge an alliance to my people," said a smooth voice behind them. They turned to see none other than Medusa and her husband, Black Bolt.
"What?!?" asked Pietro.
"It is what your half sister did and what your father has now done." said Medusa again. "He said that you, too, would do so after we give him our land of Genosha."
Pietro looked to his sister.
"Just who is this half-sister, and what about Magneto?" he asked half to his sister, half to Medusa.
"Why, Lorena, or corse," said a voice behind them. They turned to see Mystique enter from the trees.
"Did you think that your daddy-dearest could refuse such an offer as theirs? Especially when another child was involved…" said Mystique.
