Chapter 2 Cold and Hard Reality
"Why are you so shocked?" Quintel asked breaking Kurt's gaze at the stars.
"Why are there 5 moons?" Kurt asked in kind.
"There have always been 6 moons, one for each tribe." Quintel answered.
"Six? I only see five." Kurt said confused.
"We're on the green moon." Quintel replied.
"Well why are they all different colors?" Kurt asked again.
"Well, the Black One is for the tribe of Darkness, which is where most people will think you come because a lot of demons are from there. The White one is for the tribe of Light where all the fairies and magic folk come from. The one that's gray is actually made of metal, that's the Steel tribes moon, they are where all the scientists come from. The Red one is where the Flame tribe live, they are where the crafters and jeweler's come from. The blue one is where the Aqua tribe live, they have all the riches of the sea and lots of fish. And lastly the green moon is holder of the Forest tribe where all the food is grown and wildlife is in abundance."
"Amazing, it's like each moon has a specific purpose in life, but why are they all separate and nothing is all on the same place?" Kurt asked.
"Well, to me it's always been like this, but there's a legend that all the moons used to be in alignment, and then everything was everywhere instead of each having a different place, but something happened, no one knows or remembers what, and they all went out of alignment and each moon had a specific charge." Quintel answered.
"But how do you know all those tribes live on those moons, how do you get there." Kurt asked again.
"Transporter temples, there are ones all over every moon and they break you up into little pieces then you are put back together at another temple at another moon." Quintel answered.
"So you have some materialization machine then." Kurt replied.
"What's materialization?" Quintel asked.
Not wanting to try and explain to her the whole meaning of Star Trek, Kurt answered, "That's what my tribe calls what the temples do"
"Okay.Oh it's so late, everyone must be looking for me right now, we have to get back to the village. It's 1 ½ miles that way, can you 'port us that far." Quintel asked.
"Sure, I have a max of 5 miles with my 'port abilities." Kurt answered as he grabbed her and they both disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
In another cloud of smoke they both were in the middle of a grove of trees, each with a house built into it.
"Quintel! Are you all right?" Someone screamed as they dashed at Kurt with a sword.
Kurt saw him and quickly teleported out of the way and kicked him from behind. Kurt then asked, "What was that for?"
"Sorry, I we thought were trying to hurt her. My sincerest apologies, you see we have been having some problems with the Darkness tribe coming here without permission." A old man said as he came out of his tree.
"Who are you?" Kurt asked astonished by the mere look of this white haired, a green face, and ruby eyes as well.
"My name is Zancos, leader of this tribe, and that man who attacked you is my sone Joku, he will give you his apology as well Kurt." The old man now known as Zancos answered.
"How do you know my name?" Kurt asked as he helped up Joku who also had a green face, but with red hair, and blur eyes.
"I told him." Quintel answered.
"But you were here the entire time, how did you tell him?" Kurt asked looking at Quintel.
"You see, I have a mind link with all people in my tribe, I simply read her mind and I learned your name quite easily, so she in a way did tell me your name." Zancos answered.
"I guess I do owe you a apology, I apologize for my attack, and hope that we will be able to move on from here." Joku said offering Kurt his hand.
Kurt shook it and smiled showing his fangs making Joku cringe back a little.
"The rest of the tribe is asleep, we will introduce you to everyone in the morning, and we will see what we can do about getting you home." Zancos said again.
"How do you know..", Kurt was beginning to ask before remembering he just had to read Quintels mind to find out whatever he needed to know.
"Now, please come stay with us in are house tonight. It's the least we can do for you" Joku said as he pointed to the tree that they lived in.
"That would be nice. I guess one night here wouldn't hurt." Kurt said as he shrugged and followed Zancos and Joku to the tree. Once in his room with a hammock, Kurt took off his uniform down to his underwear and he tried to muster as much peaceful sleep as he could, although he was filled with the fear that he would never get home, but that again was a worry that could wait.
While Kurt was just settling in at his new home, things were becoming unsettled at his old home.
Slowly each of Xavier's student got out of bed and headed for the dining room for there first meal without Kurt. The silence was deafening this morning, no one said anything, but that changed when Professor X wheeled into the dining room.
"Good morning to you all. I hope you all got a good nights sleep last night." Professor X was saying before he noticed all the bags and tear stains on their faces.
"Well, I've already erased any mention of Kurt from the school and if anyone asks just say he went home." Professor X said again.
"Professor, some won't believe that." Kitty said in a whisper.
"Yes, I suspected that you told Lance and the rest of the Brotherhood, I'm sure they will pass the word onto Mystique for us." Professor X replied.
Meanwhile at the Brotherhood Boarding House.
"Shut up! I don't want to hear it! What ever it is!" Mystique yelled at Lance after he tried to talk to her.
"But, this is really important!" Lance yelled back in return.
"Whatever it is I'm sure it doesn't really affect me in some way, you just get to school and I don't want to hear any more about it!" Mystique yelled again.
"Fine." Lance said as he walked out of the house and on to school.
"Now time for me to go to school as well." Mystique said as she changed into the form of Risty Wilde.
Bayville High School.
"Hey Rouge! What's up?" Risty said as she slapped Rouge on the back from behind.
"Hey Risty.." Rouge said depressed as she sat down at a table.
"Come on, you can tell me anything, now what is it?" Risty asked again.
"I doesn't concern you.." Rouge answered.
"Now you tell me right now or I'm leaving!" Risty replied.
"Then Leave!" Rouge yelled back.
Risty just stood there bedazzled for a moment that Rouge would actually yell at her. Rouge took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to lose anymore friends. Not after what happened yesterday.."
Now curious Risty asked, "What happened yesterday?"
"You have to swear to keep this a secret between you and me okay?" Rouge asked in reply.
Risty did a scout sign and Rouge said, "Don't tell anyone but Kurt Wagner died yesterday.."
Rouge was expecting an onslaught of questions, but Risty just sat there with a stunned and stricken look on her face while fighting the tears but somehow kept them back, then she asked in a silent voice, ".how?"
"Trust me, you don't want to know.." Rouge was beginning to answer, but then the bell rang and Rouge ran off to her next class.
Risty still just stood there with an emotionless look on her face. Her face then changed from grief stricken to a murderous rage, she was going to get her answers, one way or another.
Brotherhood Boarding House..
Lance had just parked his jeep outside the house and was ready to lie down in his favorite chair, and pick at his guitar for hours, but as he entered the house first seeing the sight of Mystique strangling Toad, he knew that wasn't an option.
Mystique then caught gaze of him in the front door, she dropped Toad, who was at this time gasping for air. Mystique then stomped her way over to Lance, grabbed him by the shirt and asked in a murderous glare, "HOW?"
Lance broke her grip, and went up against the wall and replied, "If you wondering how Kurt died, then I guess I would have to say Forge was doing this little experiment, it backfired and Kurt got killed." "Why wasn't I informed?" Mystique asked as she slapped him across the face.
"That's what I was trying to tell you, but no you didn't want to hear it." Lance answered rubbing his cheek.
Mystique turned her back to him and stood silent for a few moments before saying in a harsh commanding yell that bellowed throughout the entire house, "Suit up! We're paying a visit to the X-Men tonight!"
Wanda emerged from the kitchen with a butcher knife in her hand and sighed, "Oh man, just when I was having some get together time with Pietro."
Lance then peeked into the kitchen and found Pietro paralyzed against the wall with several knifes in the wall surrounding him. He guessed Mystique did take that whole ruining their last meeting kind of personally, he sighed and pulled him off of the wall.
While all this was going on, Kurt had just woken up in his new home.
Kurt yawned as he woke up with the sun basking through his window, he sighed at the thought that this was his first morning away from all of his friends and family, but he wouldn't let that get him down, he was going to make it back to them.some how..
As Kurt was making his way to where he set his uniform last night he found it gone, and another set of clothes in it's place. In it he found a green cloak, a pair of pants with a rope as a belt, and a tunic, but most important he found a long sword along the desk. Upon unsheathing it he found it to be quite long, with a very sharp blade, a very customized handgrip with writing on it, and a tip that even a mere poke made him bleed.
"Ah, your up just in time." Quintel greeted as she came into his room.
"Quintel, what happened to my uniform?" Kurt asked as she found him staring at him.
"What is it?" Kurt asked again.
"Your burns." Quintel answered.
Kurt then rubbed all over his body, along the way he found several scalds made from the lava, he first noticed them now because he was to busy wondering where he was and how he was going to get back, but now he had these long burns all over his body that his uniform originally hid.
Quintel then saw a long depressed look on his face, she know knew that she had stepped over the lines and Kurt was staring at the floor. Quintel then apologized saying, "I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have said anything."
Kurt 'ported to her and told her that it was all right, and he knew they would have to come out sooner or later, so he really didn't mind, but then Kurt reminded her of the uniform question he had asked earlier.
"Oh, you see, I tried to wash it, but it fell apart, I'm really sorry." Quintel apologized.
"It's okay, this new clothes are really good." Kurt replied patting her on the back with his 3 fuzzy fingers.
"Thank you, I was able to save this though." Quintel said as she handed him a patch with and "X" on it, it seemed undamaged from the lava.
Kurt took it and smiled, he then asked, "Well what about this sword?"
"Oh, that's one of Jokus old swords, don't worry he's got plenty of them, it's his way of saying he's sorry for attacking you last night." Quintel answered as Kurt showed her the sword.
"Well tell him I said thank you, but I really have to get going, you've been to kind long enough, so maybe I'll see you again, but I have to be off." Kurt said as he began to port, only stop when Quintel grabbed a hold of him.
"Don't leave." She said as she was holding on to his tail.
"But I really got to go.." Kurt said as he pried his tail free from Quintel.
Quintel sighed and said, "Fine, but do you know where the temple is?"
Kurt thought for a moment and shook his head no.
"Do you know the routes around that lead to the temple?" Quintel asked again.
Kurt shook no again.
"Do you even have any idea how to work the stupid thing?" Quintel asked lastly.
"Well, I guess I could use a little help." Kurt said as he rubbed his head.
"Well then there's no harm if you stick around here for a little while, now is there?" Quintel asked once more looking down on him.
"No.I guess not." Kurt answered shyly.
"The come on! It's time for breakfast!" Quintel screamed as she pulled him out of the house in his new clothes.
The breakfast seemed to be served outside and everyone was there at the same time to eat together. When Kurt and Quintel appeared, all the other villagers got up and looked at Kurt with fear in their eyes, the children gathered around there mother and held her tight, while the men went to their swords.
"Everyone! Everyone! There is no need for panic, he is not here to hurt any of us." Zancos yelled to the crowd as he came out of his house with Joku behind him in tow.
"How do we know that? Just how much do we know about him?" A villager asked as he stood in front of his wife and children.
"Not much.except he wants to go home, and I don't see that as making him a threat." Zancos answered, but not putting them to ease at all.
"Yeah, how do we know he isn't the one who attacked that hunting party a few nights back?" Another villager got up and yelled with his sword in hand.
"You're just going to have to trust us!" Joku yelled as he stepped in front of his father.
The villagers took seats, but Kurt could still hear the murmuring among them, and the look of fear in the children's eyes as they looked at him. Funny, even on another planet mutants were being discriminated against.
So while Kurt ate, the X-Men were dealing with something else as well.
translated from German "What do you mean he's "gone"?" A german woman, in a scared voice shreaked.
Telepathically "I'm sorry, but I told you what happened, and I take full responsibility for Kurt's death." Professor X answered with a depressed look on his face.
"You.You..Monster!" The woman yelled as she slapped Professor X across the face.
The Professor did not react, and the woman yelled again, " I sent him here so he would not be treated like some lab rat, instead I find that is what has been the cause of his death. Oh what was I thinking when I sent him here." The woman yelled as she dropped to the ground and started to sob.
The Professor was about to comfort here when he noticed that things on his desk were beginning to shake..
"Bring that whole school down!" Mystique ordered to Lance.
"Okay.." Lance answered as he increased the quakes, he really did not care if he brought the whole town down, because Kitty could just phase through and be safe, but all those other poor saps.. "It's the Brotherhood!" Scott yelled as he and all the other X-Men poured out of the mansion racing to the front lawn where all the defense systems were destroyed by the quakes.
The X-Men started looking around, waiting for the Brotherhoods offensive, when out of nowhere, Todd jumped out and kicked Storm into the fountain. Jean picked him up and threw him away, but then Pietro ran up and knocked her unconscious with a few thousand punches.
Scott was about to blow him away when Wanda appeared and made his optic blasts go all crazy, making him blow away most of the X-Men with his own power. Blob showed up throwing all the crap he could get his hands on from a distance, and he succeeded in knocking out all the other X-Men.
Professor X rolled out and released a brutal psychic shockwave that knocked all of the Brotherhood out. Unfortunately Mystique proved more resilient to the attack, and she turned into a tiger and was about to attack Professor X, but fortunately Wolverine got in the way and took most of the attack.
"Mystique! Please calm down!" Professor X said into her mind.
Mystique went back into her human form and yelled into his face, "Calm down? I find out that my son has been killed in some experiment of your's? And you want me to calm down?"
"Your son? What are you talking about?" The german woman asked coming out of the mansion and to the front lawn.
"Well Kurts mom meet Kurts birth mom.." Spike said pointing to the 2 women.
"You worthless." The woman was beginning to say before Mystique jump kicked her to the ground.
"Watch what you say around me!" Mystique said as she took another fighters pose.
"How could you abandon him?" The german woman asked in tears.
"There were circumstances.."Mystique was answering before the german woman tackled her.
While the 2 women were caught in a brutal cat fight, the X-Men were recovering from their wounds as well as the Brotherhood, Kurt was just finishing his breakfast..
"That was wonderful!" Kurt told Quintel as he got up from the meal.
"I knew you would like it. Zancos will have some maps drawn out for you soon, so I guess you'll be on your way right?" Quintel asked.
"Yeah I guess." Kurt was answering as he noticed a depressed look on Quintels face, and he continued, ".When I do find a way home, I promise I'll come back and say good bye first."
"Promise?" Quintel said with a tear in her eye.
"I prom." Kurt was answering as the villagers became a uproar with several screams coming from the forest.
"What happened?" Joku asked as he ran out of his house with a sword in each hand.
"We were attacked!" A villager answered quickly as he ran past him.
In the middle of the village an armored man was standing over several dead villagers, he wore a dark mask and a large sword and shield at his side. Joku was running forward, and Kurt felt he owed something to these people, so he ran to join him fashioning the sword at his side (little did anyone know that Kurt was actually an experienced swordsman from his days with the circus). When they reached the attacker he was madly laughing over the bodies..

Chapter 2 Cold and Hard Reality
"Why are you so shocked?" Quintel asked breaking Kurt's gaze at the stars.

The Red one is where the Flame tribe live, they are where the crafters and jeweler's come from. The blue one is where the Aqua tribe live, they have all the riches of the sea and lots of fish. And lastly the green moon is holder of the Forest tribe where all the food is grown and wildlife is in abundance."
"Amazing, it's like each moon has a specific purpose in life, but why are they all separate and nothing is all on the same place?" Kurt asked.
"Well, to me it's always been like this, but there's a legend that all the moons used to be in alignment, and then everything was everywhere instead of each having a different place, but something happened, no one knows or remembers what, and they all went out of alignment and each moon had a specific charge." Quintel answered.
"But how do you know all those tribes live on those moons, how do you get there." Kurt asked again.
"Transporter temples, there are ones all over every moon and they break you up into little pieces then you are put back together at another temple at another moon." Quintel answered.
"So you have some materialization machine then." Kurt replied.
"What's materialization?" Quintel asked.
Not wanting to try and explain to her the whole meaning of Star Trek, Kurt answered, "That's what my tribe calls what the temples do"
"Okay.Oh it's so late, everyone must be looking for me right now, we have to get back to the village. It's 1 ½ miles that way, can you 'port us that far." Quintel asked.

Lance had just parked his jeep outside the house and was ready to lie down in his favorite chair, and pick at his guitar for hours, but as he entered the house first seeing the sight of Mystique strangling Toad, he knew that wasn't an option.
Mystique then caught gaze of him in the front door, she dropped Toad, who was at this time gasping for air. Mystique then stomped her way over to Lance, grabbed him by the shirt and asked in a murderous glare, "HOW?"

As Kurt was making his way to where he set his uniform last night he found it gone, and another set of clothes in it's place. In it he found a green cloak, a pair of pants with a rope as a belt, and a tunic, but most important he found a long sword along the desk. Upon unsheathing it he found it to be quite long, with a very sharp blade, a very customized handgrip with writing on it, and a tip that even a mere poke made him bleed.
"Ah, your up just in time." Quintel greeted as she came into his room.
"Quintel, what happened to my uniform?" Kurt asked as she found him staring at him.
"What is it?" Kurt asked again.
"Your burns." Quintel answered.
Kurt then rubbed all over his body, along the way he found several scalds made from the lava, he first noticed them now because he was to busy wondering where he was and how he was going to get back, but now he had these long burns all over his body that his uniform originally hid.

"It's the Brotherhood!" Scott yelled as he and all the other X-Men poured out of the mansion racing to the front lawn where all the defense systems were destroyed by the quakes.
The X-Men started looking around, waiting for the Brotherhoods offensive, when out of nowhere, Todd jumped out and kicked Storm into the fountain. Jean picked him up and threw him away, but then Pietro ran up and knocked her unconscious with a few thousand punches.
Scott was about to blow him away when Wanda appeared and made his optic blasts go all crazy, making him blow away most of the X-Men with his own power. Blob showed up throwing all the crap he could get his hands on from a distance, and he succeeded in knocking out all the other X-Men.
Professor X rolled out and released a brutal psychic shockwave that knocked all of the Brotherhood out. Unfortunately Mystique proved more resilient to the attack, and she turned into a tiger and was about to attack Professor X, but fortunately Wolverine got in the way and took most of the attack.
"Mystique! Please calm down!" Professor X said into her mind.
Mystique went back into her human form and yelled into his face, "Calm down? I find out that my son has been killed in some experiment of your's? And you want me to calm down?"
"Your son? What are you talking about?" The german woman asked coming out of the mansion and to the front lawn.
"Well Kurts mom meet Kurts birth mom.." Spike said pointing to the 2 women.
"You worthless." The woman was beginning to say before Mystique jump kicked her to the ground.
"Watch what you say around me!" Mystique said as she took another fighters pose.
"How could you abandon him?" The german woman asked in tears.
"There were circumstances.."Mystique was answering before the german woman tackled her.
While the 2 women were caught in a brutal cat fight, the X-Men were recovering from their wounds as well as the Brotherhood, Kurt was just finishing his breakfast..
"That was wonderful!" Kurt told Quintel as he got up from the meal.
"I knew you would like it. Zancos will have some maps drawn out for you soon, so I guess you'll be on your way right?" Quintel asked.
"Yeah I guess." Kurt was answering as he noticed a depressed look on Quintels face, and he continued, ".When I do find a way home, I promise I'll come back and say good bye first."
"Promise?" Quintel said with a tear in her eye.
"I prom." Kurt was answering as the villagers became a uproar with several screams coming from the forest.
"What happened?" Joku asked as he ran out of his house with a sword in each hand.
"We were attacked!" A villager answered quickly as he ran past him.
In the middle of the village an armored man was standing over several dead villagers, he wore a dark mask and a large sword and shield at his side. Joku was running forward, and Kurt felt he owed something to these people, so he ran to join him fashioning the sword at his side (little did anyone know that Kurt was actually an experienced swordsman from his days with the circus). When they reached the attacker he was madly laughing over the bodies..
