Logan groaned softly as he slowly rose to his feet as he watched Magneto float off away from Jubilee and himself to have a better view of the battle that was progressing. Logan gently scooped up Jubilee and throew her over his shoulder before making his way over to the Koed Cajun.

A rather furious Rogue made her way over to her mother, who had been knocked out by Jean's telekinetic abilities, before advancing towards Jean at alarming rate; grabbing her by the neck.

"Hmm since you're the only one who seems in tip top shape I'm afraid I'll have to change that..."

She grabbed Jean's wrist with her free hand and squeezed it hard land grinned. "Scream if it hurts Darlin'" she said coldly. Jean gasped and cried out in pain as Rogue applied more and more pressure. "Hmmm that ain't loud enough....this is how it's supposed to be done."

She then snapped her wrist, which caused Jean to shout in agony. Cyclops chanced it and opened his eyes; luckily his optic blast only hit Rogue and forced her back into a tree. Jean fell to the ground and wept in pain.

Logan growled and shook his head. "I never thought I would be saying this but...Retreat!" he shouted. Magneto made no more advancements to attack, so he simply walked over to Mystique and lifted her from the ground and carried her towards the entrance to the base. "Rogue dear...say goodbye to our company..." He said over his shoulder. Rogue turned her back and spit upon the ground in disgust before walking over towards Magneto.

Jean placed Scott's visor on with her functioning hand and walked back to the Blackbird, soon Scott Followed then Logan with the Cajun over one shoulder and Jubilee over the other shoulder. Scott and Jean took their seats while Logan placed Jubs and Gambit in theirs and secured them before he secured himself. The blackbird then lifted off and flew into the distance.

Remy came to just as the plane began to take off. "Stop I ain't leavin' her!" he cried out.

Logan growled. "We got no choice Gumbo...she's safe there...but we need a plan. The professor is comin' soon and I don't plan on leavin' until we get her back so we aren't gonna abandon her!" Remy just held his head as the plane took off.

"Se didn't even realize who I was, how am I supposed to keep fighting the woman I care about and live to protect!" Jean looked over to Logan and Gambit. Here comes the helicopter....we'll land in that field over there and discuss our plan of action.

Everyone from the jet and the helicopter spilled onto the grassy knoll and stood among themselves a moment before Professor Xavier wheeled up to Remy.

"Alright everyone, I was discussing these plans with Beast and Storm and they both agree that this is indeed the best plan of action. Logan, Cyclops, Jean and Gambit, you four will be retrieving Rogue from Magneto and Mystique and get her upon the jet. The rest of us will serve as back up...I believe by stepping out there all at once only causes chaos. If any one of you needs help just call for it and I'll deploy back up for you. Is everyone clear on that?"

Everyone nodded.

" Now then lets get to town and get a little shuteye, we'll move out tomorrow. Cyclops and Beast we'll be staying at the Emerald Inn...but I need you to take care of something for me, so you'll be meeting us there."

Xavier then handed them a map of it's location from a near by air field and some money. "Now then I need you to go to the Emerald Airport and dock our jet and helicopter. I have already received clearance and I have paid for the space so they are awaiting our arrival. With that The X-men and the pilots went their separate ways.

"We'll see you soon." Beast said with a small smile upon his face.

To Be Continued.
