As the four got closer to the rumble of the earthquake, there was a dark figure coming closer and closer. He couldn't be seen but was thought as a man. There were tiny cracks in the ground, which were visible even with the grass at shoe height. As they got nearer they found out that he was a man, and saw what he was wearing: an odd kind of suit with rather large arm pads. It was blue and not your everyday clothing. The four could now see his face. Its was quite cubby and had dark brown hair, brown eyes and was tall. His hand was held out, and every so often his eyes made an odd flickering movement, when they did and earthquake erupted:

"I think it's him, making the earthquakes" Poison said slowing down and waited for the other to catch up.

"You know I think your right" Amara said as her and the others caught up. He saw them all there and turned to face them.

"I've been waiting for you lot. I heard about you beating my friend blob and I don't like it," The man said smirking.

"What do you want from us?" Jubilee asked. She started to look nervous.

"I want to smash you. I'm Avalanche, number two of the brotherhood gang, and your going down," he shouted. Avalanche held out his hand again and flickered his eyes. Another Earthquake formed, but this time a tree toppled over by it. The tree began to fall down their way. They just about dodged it, having to dive to do so. He started making earthquakes everywhere, making more trees fall over. Poison turned into a puff of smoke, so the tree's passed through. Jay flew into the air. So the trees couldn't hit him, but Jubilee and magma couldn't fly so they could only run. Jubilee shot some colour beams at him, but they only made Avalanche stumble. Then Magma had a great idea. She quickly ran over to poison and Jay and whispered to them. They all smiled, but still tried to stay standing from the earthquakes. Magma ran right in front of Avalanche.

"Move" he shouted looking quite angrily.

"No way" she shouted. Magma then pushed him to the ground, and then she threw fireballs around him, in a large circle. It began to burn right around, and by the time he got up the fire had made a complete circle. He stepped on the fire, but got a burn for trying.

"What are you playing at?" Avalanche said cautiously.

"Well, I bet you can't make us fall over" Jay said landing on the ground, as Poison turned back to a person.

"This is al to easy, I can't believe the stupid Blob couldn't beat you guys" Avalanche said holding out his stubby hands. His eyes flickered, a lot more than usual, and a very bumpy earthquake was formed. The other fell over, but the fire had caused some of the ground underneath avalanche to fall away. When he made the Earthquake it had got rid of a lot more dirt, so he fell into a large hole. The problem was, he could get out, so Poison turned into a Cloud and knocked him out

"Quick lets get out of here before we get into trouble AGAIN" Jubilee said as they all ran onto the basketball courts, and pretended to play without a ball. They waited for quite a while, but no X-Men showed up. It looked like they were the only ones around and didn't know what happened to everyone else.

"Did we miss some Lesson?" Jay asked looking slightly puzzled

"No, I don't think so" Magma said yawning slowly. All of a sudden the ground started to rumble.

"Don't tell me Avalanche got out again," Poison said. She looked over to the hole avalanche was supposedly in. The rumble felt different though, not like one Avalanche would make, more like the ground was moving in some way.

"This doesn't seem to be something avalanche would do, I mean his earthquakes seem different in some weird way" Jubilee said looking at the ground. The other three nodded in agreement, but before they new it the ground was parting away from the middle of the courts. They ran to the side, but it parted right to the edge so they got pushed through the ground. They fell through a sun type roof, and into a large box. Jubilee was the first to loo up. She peered out of the box to see where they had landed. Unluckily enough they had landed in a box at the back of the X-Jet, the X-Men were sitting in their seats and looked like they were about to take off. She waited for a short while, until the others woke up, slowly and boringly.

"Shush. We landed in the X-Jet, they are about to take off" Jubilee said as the others fidgeted about. The 8 eyes peered around, and not long after the Professor rolled in and stopped behind a control, next to Scott.

"I can't find them anywhere, they have just disappeared. I told Magma to be careful but those four have to learn" Professor said facing Logan

"Even, with our human enemy, this could be an important mission for the X- Men, lets go Scott" Professor said as Scott flicked some switches and pushed some buttons, the Jet was starting the take-off sequence, which didn't take long.

"Looks like were staying here, we better not let them find out we are here, you heard the professor" Magma said ducking as Jean looked behind her. As soon as the Jet took to the air, the four new that they were flying, everything went silent. They took to the air and over the institute.

It seemed like hours sitting in the box, but it had only been a few minutes. After a couple of hours, which to them seemed like days, there was a beeping sound coming from the front of the Jet.

"Oh no, there is someone firing at us, I think its only one missile" Storm said looking at the screen, by all the buttons

"ONLY" Logan said listening to the loud sound.

They could see jean concentrating on it, even though she had her back to them. The beep was getting louder and four were getting nervous.

"JEA." storm shouted, but before they could finish there was a loud bang from behind them, the missile had hit, and there was a big hole at the back. The box was sliding towards it. Their cries for help were not loud enough as the Noises the plane was making were much louder. They eventually slipped out and fell out of the box, towards the ground. They tried to hang onto each other but the force was pulling them apart. Poison and Jay went one way and Jubilee and Magma were swayed over away from them. When they landed, it looked like they were quite near, but actually they were far away.

".Jay.Jay" There was a soft voice, coming into Jay's ears. He couldn't bring himself to open his eyes, he didn't know it but he was slowly drifting into a coma. He finally opened his eyes, slowly but steadily and saw Poison looking into him; she had large cuts on her face and broses all around. Her shirt was torn at the arm and it was covered in blood. Jay sat up, with slight pain. He looked at himself, his shirt badly ripped and quite a few cuts but not to many broses. At least he and Poison could walk. Poison helped Jay up and they took a look around. There was snow all about and it was very cold. The wind was hard and strong, so it was hard to walk. There were few trees and they had no idea where they were.

"Jay this is really bad. We don't even know where Jubilee and Magma are, they could be badly hurt" Poison said looking very scared. Her hair looked white and little Pink could be seen.

"I know this is really bad. We need to find somewhere to stay though, and then we can look for the others" jay said shivering as they stood under a large tree. Where was Jubilee and Magma, what if hey couldn't walk Poison kept thinking.

"How will we get help, what will happen to us" Poison asked looking around to see if anything helpful was there

"I really don't know Poison" Jay said brushing snow from his face. The Snow seemed to be getting lighter and thinner, but they were still in a really bad situation. They could only wait until something could get better.

As the snow got thinner still, they were able to see around them in a bit more detail. They were intensely cold and every part of them hurt.

As Minutes seemed like hours, Jay couldn't help but wonder what was happening with the X-Men. He looked over to Poison who looked ill. She was slowly sliding down the tree, until she was sitting on the floor

"Poison. Stay awake. Come on. Lets talk about something, I know, what's your real name" Jay said. He was hoping someone could help them get out of this place.

"Well, only one person knows this, and that's Jubilee. She helped me when I first came here, but my real name is Joanne. Don't tell anyone, just call me Poison," She said leaning on the tree to stand up.

"How long can we last here?" Poison said. Her eyes, which were usually Pink- ish, were now going white.

"I don't know, we just need to cope" Jay said. He didn't even know if they would get out of here alive. All of a sudden there was small thud.

"What was that?" Jay asked looking in the direction he thought it came from.

"I don't know it's probably just the snow" Poison answered. She was trying to reassure him but she knew that it couldn't have been the snow.

There were more thuds, followed by even more.

"This is weird" Poison said. Shivering softly.

"Hello there" said a dark voice. It was quiet and sounded very evil.

"Who's there?" Jay shouted. He couldn't see anyone but wondered if he imagined it

"Don't you know? We are your worst nightmare; the Acolytes are out occupation, so you better get ready, cos your going down" said a different voice. It sounding strongly English.

"Oh no. Jay the Professor told us about these. They are evil, there's: Magneto, Gambit, Colossus, Mastermind and Sabertooth" poison said looking very scared. Then, out of nowhere a load of trees toppled over. When the dust from the tree's cleared, the Acolytes could be seen. They were all standing there smirking.

"Hello there" Said a small man who Jay figured was Mastermind.

"Jay I've heard of these. Don't mess around with them. So I think the logical thing to do would be to RUN" Poison shouted turning into her purple cloud and vastly floating away from the Acolytes. Jay followed her, flying into the air right next to the cloud. They were flying fast and after a while slowed down. It didn't look like they had followed them so they decided to land.

"Whoa, that was close. We better watch out," Poison said. She was walking immensely fast.

"Slow down Poise" jay joked, running to catch up

"Where did poise come from?" Poison asked, but before she could answer she fell over, head first onto the floor. She jumped up and looked at what she had fallen over. It was a leg. She looked at the leg and followed it up to the person's head, and sure enough it was Jubilee. She quickly bent down. Jay noticed her, and saw Magma also nearby. He bent down also, looking for signs of life

"I think they are ok" Poison said looking at Jubilee's face

"I don't know, only time can tell" jay said. He really wasn't sure. He hoped they would be alive, but if they were then they needed a lot of help, that none of them could give
