Disclaimer: Same as the others chapters. I own nothing. I don't even own
the Title to this Chapter. I borrowed that from Return of the King. So, I
own nothing except my idea and any character I created.
A/N: I posted quickly this time. I hope you enjoy. Hopefully, the next chapters will be quick too. With the way, I ended this one, I think it better be. I would not want to leave you with a cliffhanger for too long... *smiles evilly*
Chapter 10
So It Begins
Scott landed the jet and quickly divided the teams. There were three teams of three people. Logan had Evan and Joanne, while Ororo had Matt and Kitty. He told them to scout out the area and contact him if there was anything suspicious. They agreed and decided to meet back at the jet in three hours.
Scott headed out toward a group of people. Katy and Kurt followed behind him.
"How are we suppose to find Magneto with all these people?" Katy asked.
"Just keep your eyes open." Scott replied as he made his way through the crowd.
Suddenly a voice sounded through the speaker, cutting off the music that had been playing.
"Everyone please welcome the President of the United States."
"Look!" Kurt said as he pointed to a stage.
Scott and Katy turned to look. The President was walking onto the platform. The crowds cheered. When the crowds quieted the President began to speak.
"Welcome, to our annual New Years Celebration in New York City. I am pleased to be with you on this occasion of welcoming a New Year."
Scott looked around as the President continued speaking. As he looked at the back of the stage, he mentally cursed at who he saw. The battle was about to begin.
After a thorough examination of Adam's device, Professor Xavier talked with Jean.
"It is a very complex device. I have done all the tests that I can, but I still don't know the extent of how well it works."
"Do you think it will work?" Jean asked. "More importantly do you think it is safe?"
Professor Xavier sighed. "Yes, it seems safe enough and I believe it might be enough to stop Joshua. I still don't trust Adam, though."
Jean nodded.
Suddenly Professor Xavier screamed in pain and grabbed his head. Jean ran to him.
"Professor, what is it?"
Suddenly Jean felt the same pain. She placed her hands on her head as the pain intensified. In only a few seconds, she collapsed on the ground, beside the unconscious Professor.
"Did you see where Saber Tooth went?" Ororo asked Kitty and Matt.
"No, I don't see him." Matt said.
Suddenly Saber Tooth jumped at Matt knocking him to the ground. Matt and him began fighting, as Ororo and Kitty were having there own problems with Pyrho.
Kitty rolled into the ground just as fire was burned at the area she was. Ororo floated up into the air. Her eyes were glowing white and her white hair flew in the breeze. She struck at Pyrho with lightening, but missed him. Suddenly she was knocked to the ground. She looked up just as a thick vine began to wrap around her, holding her securely. Ororo tried to struggle free, but it was useless. Kyle, the once friend of Katy, now had both Matt and Ororo tightly bond. Ororo could hear Matt trying to talk to him, but it was useless.
Suddenly Ororo heard a scream. Matt and Ororo both turned their heads as Saber Tooth retracted his claws from Kitty's body. Kitty fell to the ground.
"Kitty?" Ororo screamed.
"Let's bring these two to Magneto. Our work here is done." Pyrho said.
Kyle nodded and easily lifted Matt and Ororo with his vines.
"Kitty?" Ororo screamed again.
Kitty's only reply was small moan as she gasped for breath.
Logan smelled the air. A mutant was near. Suddenly someone flew down and grabbed Joanne. Evan saw the mutant and fired three spikes.
"Audrey, it's me." Joanne tried to convince her.
Audrey didn't seem to hear. She dodged two of Evan's spikes, but the last hit her arm. She screamed and let go of Joanne. Joanne fell to the ground.
"Are you okay?" Evan asked as he ran to her.
"I'm fine." She said as she looked around.
Logan was fighting another mutant. Joanne remembered her from last time. Her name was Mirror Wall. Logan was slashing at her with his claws, but at every attack, she created a shield to protect her. Logan could not get near enough to touch her.
Suddenly Logan heard Scott's voice over his intercom. "Logan are you there?"
"I'm here." Logan said as he dodged a punch from Mirror Wall.
"We have some trouble on the stage. Magneto is about to attack the president. Joshua is with him and I think he is going to start gaining power." Scott reported.
"I'm a bit busy." Logan growled into the intercom. He slashed at Mirror Wall, but her shield protected her. "Where's Storm?"
"I don't know." Scott said. "No ones answering her intercom. She might be in trouble."
Logan growled again.
"If you get a chance, go find her and her team. Then make your way here to help us."
Logan agreed and continued his fight.
Audrey landed on the ground near Joanne. The wound from the spike was not deep. She slashed at Joanne with her sharp talons. Joanne rolled aside and shot water at Audrey, knocking her to the ground.
"Audrey, I don't want to fight you." Joanne yelled.
Audrey ignored her and pounced once again, throwing Joanne to the ground.
"Fine, you asked for it." Joanne raised her hands and shot out a powerful blast of water. Audrey fell to the ground, soaked.
Meanwhile, two other mutants ran by Evan. They both had super speed. Evan knew the one was Pietro and guessed the other one was Jake.
Jake sped by him and hit him in the face. Then Pietro sped by and did the same. Evan was becoming angry. He had tried to fire at them, but they easily dodged. Then he came up with an idea. Both of them were circling him with great speed. All he had to do was make one of them trip.
Evan threw two spikes close to the ground. Jake tripped over one and fell on his face. Pietro tripped over his friend. Evan smiled and pinned them both to the ground with spikes.
Then he turned to Joanne. She seemed to have things under control. Audrey was soaked and could no longer move as fast. Looking at Logan, he saw him still struggling with the girl. As Logan kept her busy, he decided to throw spikes at her from behind. He positioned himself and quickly launched four spikes from his body.
Mirror Wall saw them coming and mentally thanked Evan. She quickly created her mirror wall and reflected the attacks at Logan. Logan destroyed two, but the other two pierced his chest. Logan gasped in pain.
Evan mentally cursed. Mirror Wall turned to him. "Thanks for you help. Now it's your turn."
Stephen walked quickly down the hallway. He saw a few unconscious children on the ground, but he did not care. He needed to find the Professor. He quickly made his way to the medical room and found Professor Xavier and Jean on the ground. He smiled as he pulled two small objects from his pocket.
He placed one securely on the Professor's neck. The he bent down near Jean. He carefully brushed some of her auburn hair away from her face. Her face was beautiful and he could not help but rub his hand against her face.
Remembering his mission, he quickly placed the device on Jean's neck. He pressed a few buttons on Jean's control chip just for fun. He knew the rest of the info was already preprogrammed. Both of them would wake up in a few minutes, but they would be under his control.
