Disclaimer: I do not own X-Men Evolution or anything like that. I am a member of a roleplaying website, though, that focuses on X-Men Evolution. The site is located at if you are interested.

Mesmero- a mind-controlling villain who serves a greater evil... Xavier- the X-Men's professor, and a master telepath. Cyclops- the field leader of the X-Men, with the power to emit optic blasts that are incredibly powerful. Drake- a mutant in the X-Men, with various powers, including telepathy and hydrokinetic powers. Beast- a blue and fuzzy acrobatic mutant in the X-Men.

Jean Grey wakes up with a start from her dreams, where clowns were chasing her. When examining her room, she finds a jack-in-the-box. When it opens...an evil face stares at Jean, and she screams. The next day, Jean has vanished. The X-Men search for her, but cannot find her with Cerebro, because in order for it to locate her, she has to use her powers. Soon afterward, Cerebro picks her up on it's radar. Jean is using her powers to steal a ring from a museum. When the police find her, she sends them flying with her powers. The next night, she returns to the Institute. Walking past Yoku's room, she goes to him, and they exchange blank stares as he is possessed by the same force that she is. Yoku and Jean travel to another museum, and they break in using their powers. They steal another ring from the vault. This time, Xavier manages to send Cyclops and Drake in the X-Jet to retrieve them. However, Jean blasts Cyclops backwards, and Yoku manages to stun Drake. Then, they enter the X-Jet, and take it away, leaving Cyclops and Drake stranded. The Beast discovers that there are three rings of evil, and Xavier asks him to find the third ring. The Beast locates it. Meanwhile, though, Jean and Yoku return to the mansion, and the possessing force takes Shadowcat and Spyke. The four enter the X-Jet again, and fly away to the area of the third ring. There, Jean, Spyke and Yoku disable the guards while Shadowcat steals the third ring. The Beast discovers the jack-in-the-box in Jean's room, and Xavier manages to find out that it's the face of Mesmero, a magician in the Circus of Mystery. Thinking that Mesmero might have something to do with the rings, Xavier and the Beast pick up Drake and Cyclops and travel to the Circus of Mystery. They manage to intercept Jean and her gang before they can take the rings to Mesmero. They then engage in battle. Drake combats Spyke, using his hydrokinetic powers to take out the jagged mutant. Yoku battles Cyclops, but the optic blasts manage to defeat the light. The Beast tries to fight Shadowcat and Jean, but they overwhelm him. As Jean holds out the rings to Mesmero, Drake slams into her, knocking her unconscious. The rings fall forward, however, and Mesmero picks them up. Xavier goes forward, then, and engages Mesmero in a psychic duel. Xavier is on the verge of winning when a stronger mind backs Mesmero up, and defeats Xavier. Mesmero retreats, and, using the rings, he unlocks the first of three doors in an ancient temple. And behind all three doors lies...APOCALYPSE.
