Zozma: Here it is!!!!! Thanks bunches and bunches for the reviews, you guys really made mine and Emerald's day! Hope you like.
A petite girl was standing near the fountain. She had blonde-auburn hair that showed a hint of curls. Around her neck was a pair of earmuffs. She seemed a little skittish and every once in a while she touched her ears gingerly as though she had an earache or something.
A little farther away from her stood another girl. This girl had longer light brown hair and was wearing khaki cargos and a light blue shirt with white sleeves. She was looking around at everyone and had unusual (for a human) golden eyes.
Another girl was talking to Rahne. She had dark brown cat ears and a tail which was curled around her waist at the moment. This girl was brightly dressed and seemed cheerful although that might of been because Rahne was explaining who everyone was.
These three girls were just some of the new mutants at the mansion.
"Well, those three seem okay. Nothin' like what we got last time." Logan muttered.
"Those are the ones who have shown up. There are more coming and not all of them will be as docile." Charles Xavier warned.
"They are shy. They all have just met a bunch of mutants who aren't afraid of their powers." Ororo Munroe added.
"Indeed. Ororo? Evan is bringing a few mutants, right?" Hank McCoy asked.
"Yes. They don't seem ready to join the Morlocks. These three, what are their names again?" Ororo asked.
"The girl with earmuffs is Ryo Cadencey. Her mutation is...supersonic hearing and sound manipulation. The girl with longer hair is Athena Lawence and her mutation is similar to Tabitha Smith's. She can blow things up in a ten-foot radius." Xavier replied.
"That sounds safe." Logan grinned.
"As I was saying, the last one with cat ears is Lauren Press and ah! her mutation is similar to Rahne's, only she can turn into various cats."
"Looks like the Half-Pint has a friend." Logan replied.
"I wonder, do you think Magneto and Mystique have gotten any new mutants?" Hank thought out loud.
"With the amount of mutants increasing, I'm almost certain that they both have new recruits." Xavier said. He then noticed that all four of their thoughts were the same: That can't be good.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mystique smiled as she assessed her recruits. The old team was okay, but these new mutants would make the team better.
There was a six-foot boy with messy black hair and green eyes. His name was Mike Barton. He was an easy-going boy and seemed to be relatively friendly. After all he was talking to Todd cheerfully. He had the ability to manipulate dust and smoke particles and had chosen 'Smokescreen' as a codename. Definitely useful.
The next boy was a loner. He, too, had black hair but he had deep brown eyes. He seemed to be gothic, but his mutation was involving dark energy. His name was Kyle Levi AKA Nightshade. Mystique knew this boy would be useful against the X-men.
Bill Hughes was the next recruit, with dark blonde hair and kind blue eyes. He was also very friendly, although he had been shy at first. His force field had the durability of the Blob and 'Hammerhead' would be a great defense.
Ryka Kioku was not talking to anyone. In her hands was a frog. She sat next to Mystique and looked up to her in a loyal way. Her eyes were yellowish-green and her short, brown hair was in a ponytail. She was able to be invisible and her eyes were darting in the opposite direction.
"You four, Chameleon, Smokescreen, Nightshade, Hammerhead, are my newest recruits. You are to follow Lance's and mine orders. You will work with your team. You will not help the X-men and Magneto and his Acolytes are the enemy. Pietro is not to be trusted. He is the white haired mutant, brother of Wanda." Mystique finished her speech.
All four of the new mutants nodded their heads and the original Brotherhood also nodded.
"Mystique? Tabby's back." Todd said as the blonde bombshell (Zozma: Pun unintended) walked into the room.
"Well, newbies, huh? Great!" She sat next to Lance and grinned.
"That's Tabby Smith, our little Boom-Boom." Lance muttered.
Mystique walked out of the room and stared at Ryka for a moment. A ghost of smile crossed Ryka's face and Mystique left the boarding house.

THE NEXT DAY!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Manuel Grant grinned at Myesha. She was explaining how Charles Xavier ran the X-men and the Institute. The two were in a cafe that had been suggested by a friend, Hank McCoy, who had invited them to Bayville. Myesha's dark skin was set off beautifully in her light purple t-shirt and light blue jeans, Manuel however thought she always look beautiful.
"Sonia, Sadi, and Reign plan to visit. That will be great, huh?" Myesha asked.
"Yeah! Maybe we can convince those three to join us!" He replied.
The couple went on talking about various things cheerfully.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anne Morland smiled. The chattering of trees always calmed her. In particular, maple trees. The Taurus nodded her head and laughed silently. Her auburn hair was in messy French braid and she reprimanded herself for not paying attention that morning. After all she wanted to make an impression on Professor Charles Xavier and she preferred a good impression. She smiled again as the maple reassured her that she looked great. It was nice to have such good friends.
Walking next to her was a very quiet, lonerish boy named Brian Anderson. He had said to call him Damien however. His mutation was similar to Logan's and it was wondered how well they would get along. His white hair was pulled back into a ponytail that was set off nicely by his black t-shirt. His skin had an interesting gray tint to it. He looked down and was standoffish in a way.
Alexandria Glenn had a broad grin on her face. The eighteen year-old seemed to like being in Bayville. Her black hair swished side to side and she walked jauntily. Her mutation of turning into a lizard didn't bother her that much, she didn't, however, have very good control.
Trey Huebner was walking next to Alexandria. They both had come from New Orleans. He was pretty good looking, with dark brown hair and Prussian blue eyes. He was wearing a navy sweatshirt, blue jeans, and gray tennis shoes. He had been talking loudly earlier although now he had settled down a little bit.
The gothic Damen Robinson followed a little slower. A quick explanation told everyone that he had a split personality-type mutation, what with the two entities within him. The blue-eyed boy had come from New York City and had a normal life before this mutation.
Ivonne Andros was very kind soul. She light brown hair that had golden streaks from her mutation and gold colored eyes. She was very friendly and had earlier been talking to Roberto AKA Sunspot.
These six mutants had been brought to the Institute by Evan Daniels, who was currently leading them Xavier's office.
"Hey! Guys don't look so nervous! He doesn't bite." Evan joked as they reached the office.

NEXT DAY!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Magneto had four new mutants. Jennifer Rowlington AKA Jinx, Amy Parker AKA Silver Siren, Chloe Roman, and Charisma Smith AKA Twister. All four young ladies had impressive, useful, mutations. And, they were loyal, they had proven so.
*|FLASHBACK|*
"Okay, Silver Siren, you take out those guards." Quicksilver ordered.
He had been taking the four new Acolytes on a 'test run' and Magneto had sent them on a mission to rob a bank. A nice simple job, for mutants. If they failed then they would figure who or what the problem was and retry or get rid of the mutants immediately.
Silver Siren nodded her head and mentally told Pietro to plug his ears. He nodded. Silver Siren started singing "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence. The three guards stiffened and then calmed and went into a zombie mode.
"Good job, now-get-them-to-open-the-doors. Jinx? I'll need you-to-stay-here-for-a-while. After Siren's done with-the-guards, -I-want-you-to-tie-them-up-or handcuff them or something." Quicksilver said.
Jinx nodded and watched as the guards opened the doors and dropped their weapons. Then she leaped into action. First she materialized some rope which she threw over her shoulder, making sure it touched some skin. Next she pulled the guards' arms behind their backs and started to tie them together. After the first guard, she took the extra rope and went to the second guard and then third. After that she materialized a chair and sat down.
"Okay, I'll be waitin' when you get back." She said finally.
The others nodded and went in towards the bank vault.
"Chloe, blast it open." Quicksilver said.
"Right." Chloe did so and didn't damage any of the money or her teammates, because she had set up a decent force field a couple of minutes earlier.
"Okay, Twister, your turn. Whirlwind-all-the-money-into-the-sacks-and-then we can get out of here." Quicksilver said.
The brown haired girl nodded before concentrating. Soon enough all the money was in four bags.
Each of them grabbed a bag and went back out to meet Jinx. She grinned and dragged the guards into the vault. They were out cold. She let go and the rope disappeared.
"HEY! What are you doing?" A girl with light-green hair exclaimed.
The girl's name was Desiree Porter and her mutation was tracking mutant power signatures. She wasn't about to let these mutants rob a bank.
"Okay-ladies! Show-time!" Quicksilver said. The four nodded.
Jinx made sais appear in her hands, Silver Siren started to glow silver and was getting her fire ready, Twister made wind blade, and Chloe got another blast ready.
"Attack!" Quicksilver shouted.
All four attacked at the same time and got the best of the tracking mutant. They were about to kill her when a voice cried out.
"Stop!" Storm's eyes were glowing as she hovered and Jean Grey levitated the body over to them.
"Great! -Well-we-don't-have-time-for-you-so.....bye!" With that the five Acolytes left, leaving Desiree in the hands of the X-men.
*|END FLASHBACK|*
Yes, indeed, the new Acolytes were loyal. Now Magneto could beat the X-men.

Zozma: If I forgot someone, it's Em's fault. She isn't organized. I can barely read her notes and stuff. Jeez, what am I, a miracle worker? Hoped you liked. If I forgot you, 'cause of Emerald, please tell me. Bye. *Exit Zozma*
