Chapter Four
"Toad! Stop moving!" Lance exclaimed with aggravation as he ran his muscular hand through his dark brown hair. He pulled Toad down from hopping around in the bushes. They had to be more stealthy. If they were caught spying on Magneto and his crew then they would be in big trouble.
Lance stepped up a little as soon as he realized that no one was in sight. He signaled for everyone to follow behind him as they did so.
"See Lance," Blob said. "Nothing to worry about." Before Blob could take a full second to feel good about not worrying, something exploded next to him. He jumped back, causing everyone to do the same.
Lance looked up at Sabertooth, who had jumped down from a tree, ready to attack him. Lance jumped out of the way, causing Toad to hop over towards Pyro, who was shooting fire at him. Lance rolled his eyes towards the back of his head and tightened his fists. Then he stomped his foot on the ground with rage. He caused the ground to open and he watched Sabertooth fall in.
Gambit lit a card and threw it at Blob. "Hey!" Blob exclaimed as he dropped the card and headed for cover.
Colossus stepped up behind the raging Lance and picked him up with one hand. He placed him in the tree as Pyro lit the tree on fire, causing it to fall. It landed near Toad and Blob, who became helpless mutants lying on the grass.
Gambit, Sabertooth, Pyro, and Colossus dragged the three by their shirt collars.
"That was easy," Pyro said in his Australian accent as the rest smiled and took them in as prisoners.

"We have to get his security guards out of the way first," Magneto said watching the president doing paperwork at his desk.
"We have to do it as swiftly as possible," Professor Xavier said as he peeked from the back wall that was painted white. He watched as the door shut and many political people came walking out. "We cannot cause a riot."
Professor Xavier and Magneto walked calmly past the political people that were headed out of the white house, pretending they were there for a conference. They headed towards the president's room. When they reached the two tall, white doors the two muscular security guards that were in uniform stood there with their arms folded across their chest.
"We are here for a conference with President Michaels," Professor Xavier said as the security guards, or secret service, gave him a weird look.
"Aren't you the mutant that runs that mansion?" the taller security guard questioned with suspicion in his eyes.
"Not any more," Professor Xavier said. "You take care of them and I'll take care of the president." Professor Xavier went into the room and paused. He knitted his eyebrows in confusion as he heard something so familiar in his head.
"Father!!!!!!!!!!!" David said with innocence in his voice as Professor Xavier's eyes felt pity for the teenager that was his son. "Help me please!!!!!!"
"David!" Professor Xavier said holding out his hands for David to come closer towards him. He disappeared and another boy appeared before his eyes. It was the little boy, Ian. The boy didn't say anything. He just stood there with his thumb in his mouth.
Professor X sat up in his bed advancing towards his wheelchair as he felt something powerful come towards him. Before he realized what it was and before he could stop it, he was thrown across his room. He went in circles in the air, hit the four walls of his bedroom, and then hit the edge of his dresser and landed onto the hard floor, leaned forward on his side. He couldn't get up from his position. Everything was turning black. He opened his eyes a little to see a blurry figure walking towards him.
He heard the words, "Good-bye Father."
"What……" the voice of the president trailed off as he got up from his leather chair. The voice interrupted Professor Xavier's thoughts. Professor X ignored the memory from his head and looked at the president.
"Hello," Magneto said walking into the room ready for his plan to take place. "Say good-bye Mr. President."

Jean went in after Lucas wanting to cry for help out loud. But she couldn't, not right now. She didn't know where Scott went, and she didn't know what Lucas had done to him. How was she supposed to save him? Jean looked at everyone as they stopped what they were doing and turned their attention towards Lucas. Jean saw more people, the people they had gathered tonight, in the mansion partying and worshipping Lucas.
"Have you all made dinner?" Lucas asked as Jean looked at him from behind in disbelief. "I'm starving."
"Yes Lucas," Logan said as Jean saw something she had never seen before. Logan looked so vulnerable. She thought she would never see that happen. She cracked a smile at the way he was acting and knew she would tease him if everything worked out alright.
They all walked towards the dining room as Lucas stopped in his tracks. "Are you alright?" Jean asked as Lucas held on to her shoulder. He looked up at her with helpless eyes that had changed shades. Now she saw a little boy trapped and helpless. He never said a word as he dropped to the ground. "Lucas! What's wrong?"
"Jean!" David screamed from Lucas' body as Jean creased her eyebrows.
"David! Come on!" Jean yelled holding his wrists with determination. "Try to fight it! I know you can!"
"Jean, I'm trying!" he exclaimed as he escaped her grasp and held her wrists tightly. His eyebrows turned into fury filled ones and his eyes gleamed with anger and rage as he turned back into Lucas. "I knew something was wrong here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You were acting the whole time!"
"I…I…" Jean stuttered as she was being revealed. He had tricked her!
"Time to do this right!" Lucas exclaimed as a frightening smile curled on his lips.
"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Jean exclaimed as Lucas' brain waves sent her crashing to the floor. Everyone ran from the dining room and crowded around the two.
They all gasped with surprise that Jean would defy Lucas. "I knew somezing vas wrong vith her from za start!" Kurt said as he shook his head in disbelief.
Before Lucas could do anything else, Sabertooth, and Colossus came crashing through the roof and Pyro and Gambit came through the doors.
"Oh no!" Kitty exclaimed.
"This is trouble," Rogue finished.
"Ja! Ve have to fight for Lucas in za name of justice!" Kurt exclaimed as Jean had to crack a smile. He was still the funny Kurt she knew. Jean didn't think about it for one second as she concentrated and placed her long fingers on her temples. Jean put everyone in a shield to protect them from the Acolytes for the time being as she went to work.
She closed her eyes and felt her power from the pit of her stomach as if it was the most amazing thing in the world. She took out the shield and looked at everyone's faces. Jean raised herself in the air and got to work with the Acolytes. Without a word, everyone else did too.
Logan knitted his eyebrows and headed towards Sabertooth. In an instance Sabertooth went to work with his greatest nemesis.
Rogue did two back flips and a tumble in the air. She landed in front of Gambit and looked into his eyes for what seemed like Heaven.
"Hello Chere," Gambit said with his charming voice, captivating glance, and gorgeous red eyes. Rogue looked at him with her mouth open and then shook her head and stopped the thoughts of him that were running through her mind. She tried to throw a punch at him but he moved and threw a lit card at her. She dropped it and jumped out of the way, trampling Kurt and Kitty who were fighting Colossus.
Bobby iced Pyro's legs and was working his way up when Pyro melted the ice and Roberto came to help. He looked up at Storm who knew immediately what he wanted. Storm flew higher in the air and broke the roof with a lightening bolt. She then made sunshine, as it gave Roberto his energy.
Gambit aimed his pole forward and used it to lean on as he jumped forward towards Jean. Jean moved out of the way. She moved to the left and right of Gambit's exploding cards and then sent waves from her mind that caused him to fall to the ground. He got up and threw another card at Jean's oblivious mind. Jean turned around as she watched the card headed towards her, but she knew it was too late. Suddenly, she felt large but tender hands strike her and move her out of the way. "Thanks Beast," she said courteously.
Tabitha and Amara watched Bobby and Roberto being beaten by Pyro so they headed towards them. They both circled him and surrounded him with his own kind of power. Colossus picked them both up by the shirt collars and threw them against the wall. They landed over Bobby and Roberto.
Colossus picked up a wooden stand and aimed for Kitty. Kitty screamed as she phased through the object without a sweat. Instead it hit Kurt.
"Zanks a lot Keety!!!!!" Kurt exclaimed as he held his foot in pain. Kitty giggled as she turned around and her head encountered a drawer. "Keety!" Colossus kept going as Kurt teleported them both over to Amara, Tabitha, Roberto, and Bobby.
Sam, Ray, and Jamie headed towards Colossus but were easily beaten and joined the rest that were lying on the floor.
Jean and Beast fought off Pyro. Pyro threw fire at Jean, who was in the air, who was now with Beast on the ground. He circled fire around them and laughed an annoying one that sent goose bumps down her spine. Beast jumped out and attempted to fight him but was strewn across the room by fire. He let out a loud roar.
Logan let out his claws in anger and ripped Sabertooth's sleeve. Sabertooth opened his mouth in anger and revealed his sharp teeth. Sabertooth's sharp black nails went across Logan's chest that was now bleeding. The blood disappeared and he kicked Sabertooth through the wall.
Gambit jumped to the top of the stairs to reach Storm who gathered up clouds and was ready to strike a bolt of lightening at him. Before she could do that, Gambit threw his metal pole at her and she lost her balance. Pyro saw this as a good opportunity to make his magic. Storm went flying towards the ground as Jean stopped her.
Gambit threw his card near Jean and Storm as it blew up next to them and they lay there helplessly on the carpeted floor. Pyro formed a fire around all the rest, giving his teammates a chance to take Jean and Storm out of the mansion. They all got in metal balls and left.
They all sat there in silence as they eyed each other weirdly. "What just happened here?" Rogue asked as she looked to Logan and Beast for answers.
"Jean saved us," Beast said. "We were all brainwashed somehow. By a very powerful mutant."
"Luke……" Kitty trailed off trying to remember.
"Lucas," Kurt finished for her.
'Where's the Professor?" Amara asked with fear in her eyes.
"Where's Scott?" Rogue asked with concern.
"Don't worry," Logan said. "We will get to the bottom of this if it's the last thing we do!" Logan knitted his eyebrows and twitched his lip in anger.
"Wait a minute," Bobby said.
"Vhere's Lucas?" Kurt said as they all looked at each other in hope for an answer to the horrible question.
