A/N: Hey! I told y'all that I had the first chapter! Sorry for the wait!
(note: this used to be called "Fighting for the Gold")
Yeah, I don't own anything, either. X-Men Evolution belongs to Marvel.
All I own is a few floppy disks and my clothes. I obviously break into people's houses at night to use their computers and post things.
Not.
Yeah, well, I'd like to thank the people that submitted OC's before "Fighting for the Gold was booted off FF.Net. I have received a notice that I may only post the story portion, so here is the first chapter! ^_^

Lance, Pietro, Fred, Wanda, Tabitha, and Todd were at home today, doing who knows what in their rooms.
"EVERYONE GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT!" Mystique called when she entered the beaten up house.
Suddenly, Todd and Fred came rolling down the stairs, just as a large blast of energy erupted behind them. They came down the stairs screaming. "TODD, YOU FREAK! DON'T COME INTO MY ROOM ANYMORE! AND FRED, YOU TOO!" Tabitha yelled, stomping down the stairs.
When the two mutants stopped at the sound of the door slamming.
"Who are our guests, boss lady?" Pietro asked, zooming down the stairs and laying down on the couch.
"New recruits." Mystique replied curtly, frowning when Fred and Todd came into the room covered in feathers.
When Lance walked into the room he nearly choked on the sandwich he was eating when he saw Fred and Todd with the black feathers covering their bodies. "I'm not even gonna ask."
Wanda walked in casually, then walked over to the kitchen to get some lunch.
Tabitha then walked down the stairs, clad in her usual jeans and shirt. She stepped around Fred and Todd with a gleaming smile on her face, then plopped herself down in a chair. "What's up?"
Fred and Todd glared icicles at Tabitha, who was playing with her hair.
Mystique did not seem too happy with how the group was behaving. "LISTEN UP!" She shouted angrily. "We have some new recruits here, so if you don't mind."
It was only then did everyone notice the group standing behind Mystique.
"Hello." The first one said, face impassive.
Mystique pointed to the people. "They are the new recruits, so I'm sure that you'll treat them well. This one," She gestured to the first. "Is Lukan Souler, alias Soul Creeper."
He stayed in place, unmoving from his spot.
Tabitha licked her lips as she studied his appearance.
He was moderately tall, with dyed black unruly hair falling in his face. He had a red lip ring on the left and an eyebrow ring. Around his neck was a black choker with a silver ring in the middle. His ensemble was quite simple, black baggy jeans, black shirt, black trench coat. On his feet were large black boots. His eyes flashed in a bored manner, from Lance to Tabitha and then to the two boys covered in feathers.
"So, Luke, man! Where you from, yo?" Todd asked, hopping towards the 17 year old.
Lukan stepped back and scowled at the green boy. "Scotland." He replied.
"COOL!" Fred said, trying to get up from his place on the floor but ended up tripping on a pizza box and falling to the ground.
A laugh and some snickers came from the group behind Mystique.
Then a voice called out, "Is there any more pizza?"
The rest of the recruits shouted simotaneos, "Shut UP, Electra!"
Mystique growled and pulled the girl forward. "Bite your tongue!"
The girl scoffed. "Been there, done that."
Mystique growled once more and gave her an icy glare. "This is Blair Almira Hudson, also known as Electra."
"But we also call her Sparky!" Someone from the back called.
"OH, shut up already, Emma!" Another one said.
Blair wore a black spaghetti strap top, black denim jeans and black suede boots. She had fair skin, strawberry blonde hair, moderately thin hair. She was tall with gleaming brown eyes. "Hey." She said.
Another new person stepped up. "Master Maboroshi?" The girl blinked. "Is Kato here?"
Mystique shook her head and her eyes softened at the girl. "No, he's not. You can see him later, though."
Turning away from the recruits, she introduced the girl. "This is Ryka Kioku. Alias Chameleon."
Ryka had short brown hair that was pulled into a ponytail with a black scrunchie. Her skin was pale and her eyes an amazing yellowish green. She was wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans, white socks and red sneakers.
"So you turn different colors?" Fred asked.
Ryka just stared blankly at the boy covered with goose feathers for a hesitant moment before answering. "Yes."
"Hi, I'm Darcy Riobh!" The next girl said. "Nice to meet you! I'm also known as Mem. You can call me Darce if you want." She seemed a little hyper at the moment, but a nice girl.
Darcy had strawberry blonde hair that fell to her mid back. She had pale blue eyes and a button nose that was sprinkled with light freckles. She wore a thin white long sleeved shirt with camo pants. On her hands were black fingerless gloves and adias gym shoes adorned her feet.
"So what do you do?" Lance asked, peering at her curiously.
She smiled back at him. "What do ventriloquists do?" Darcy gave a small smirk and then laughed at Lance's puzzled expression. "You're too cute!"
Lance blushed at this comment. In the back, Todd was making kissing noises.
"Shut UP, Todd!" Lance yelled, throwing a pillow at him. Todd hopped out of the way just in time, but went crashing into Ryka, sending them both to the ground.
"Get. Off. Me." Ryka said in a deathly calm voice, glaring at Todd all the while.
Todd gave a whimper and jumped off her.
Lukan helped her up, even though she looked like she would strangle him if he touched her again.
Shaking his head, another guy introduced himself. "I'm Kaleb Dubray also known as Shadow."
He had blonde hair with blue highlights that was short with some of his bangs hanging down in his face. His eyes were an amazing shade of blue with specks of silver like stars in the night sky. He wore black baggy pants; a gray quicksilver short sleeved shirt and etnies tennis shoes.
"Yeah, Kal, we all know who you are." A girl said, her arms around his upper shoulders.
Kaleb gave a groan. "This pest is Reese Page."
Reese licked her lips. "Vixen if you prefer." She snuggled into Kaleb's neck much to his displeasure.
Reese had brown eyes that matched her curly brown locks that had some blonde streaks. She wore a denim skirt that was above her knees, a short sleeved top with a super man sign that was blue and red and had on flat clunky trainers.
"Let go of him, Reese." A tall girl growled, glaring at the British teen.
"Oh, have a little bit of fun, Key." Reese said sarcastically.
"No." The tall girl said, letting Mystique introduce her.
"This is Keyaira Creed. Also known as Green Fire. And just for future reference, boys, she is Sabertooth's daughter." Mystique informed them all.
Pietro stopped zooming around the room and gaped at the girl. "You're the Sabertooth's daughter?"
Keyaira gave a growl as Pietro ran around her studying her. "You're pretty cute!" Pietro stated, making Keyaira blush madly.
She had black hair with blue streaks that was pulled back in a ponytail. Her emerald green eyes clashed in an almost unceremonious way. Her skin was olive colored. She was wearing a black tank, low rise blue jeans and black knee high boots.
"And you accuse moi of flirting?" Reese asked in a fake French accent.
"You're not French, Reese." Kaleb pointed out, tugging on her ear. "You're British, and should be damn proud of it too."
"Aww, I always knew you cared!" Reese squealed, and Kaleb groaned as Reese squeezed him so hard he could barely breathe.
"Um, Reese? He needs to breathe." A girl pointed out.
Reese immediately let go. "You okay, sweetie?"
Kaleb gave a whimper. "I may be scared for life."
Reese hit him over the head and walked away to talk to Lukan, Darcy and Blair.
"I'm Emma Papas." The caramel brown haired girl said. "Or Nocturne. But I like Emma better."
Her eyes were completely black, her skin pale as ever. Her hair fell to her shoulders and had some braids in it. She wore black jeans with a black shirt, black and gray gloves and a long trench coat that went just past her knees in an awkward manner.
Emma turned to the last new person and smiled. "That's Fiore Knight also known as Flamecat."
Fiore had short flaming red hair, sapphire blue eyes and pale skin. She wore a black, gothic hello kitty tank with fishnet underneath and black baggy low ride jeans with chains that crisscrossed in an x in the back and zippers going up her pants to the knees in the front.
Keyaira gave a snort. "I don't get why she's even here. She's too old."
Fiore looked like she was going to kill the younger girl. "I'm still here, you know." She pointed out. "And I'm not old, I'm only nineteen."
"Yeah, but none of us are even eighteen." Reese countered.
"Hey, I am." Lance cut in, bursting the tension.
Reese smiled. "Hey, that's right!" She gave Lance a hug.
Keyaira snorted once more. "Slut."
Reese pulled back from Lance and glared at Keyaira. "Jealous?"
Keyaira rolled her eyes. "As if."
While Keyaira and Reese were glaring at each other, across the room, trouble was brewing.
Lukan and Kaleb were poking at Fred and Todd.
"So you spit out slime..." Lukan said slowly in a disbelieving manner. "And your code name is Toad..."
Kaleb turned to Fred. "And you're the incredible blob..." Kaleb shook his head.
Darcy and Ryka popped out of nowhere next to Lukan. "Hey guys." They said together.
Tabitha and Pietro came over as well.
"How's it going? New on the team and all?" Tabitha asked Lukan, who was currently poking Fred's stomach with a stick.
"It's fine." He replied dully.
Darcy leaned down and whispered in Lukan's ear, "You know she's making a move on you, right?"
Lukan nodded and jumped back when Fred laughed, his stomach moving in an odd way.
"I don't think I will be able to eat any more." He said, walking away.
Suddenly, Tabitha's voice came out really loud. Everyone turned to where she was, standing on a chair with a megaphone in one hand and a raised crowbar in the other.
"ATTENTION!" She shouted once more to get Fred to stop laughing from the dancing spoons. (cough, cough) "You guys remember what I said about this not being the 'Brotherhood' but the 'Sisterhood' instead? Well, I think it would be even better now that there are more girls than guys!" She exclaimed. She gave the girls looks, and shrugged. "Well, don't you think? We have more girls than guys now!"
Ryka looked over to Fiore, who looked to Emma, who turned to Keyaira, who looked at Reese, who was currently hugging Lance so tight that he was turning blue, and looked to Darcy, who turned to Blair, who looked at Wanda, who turned to Mystique, searching for an answer.
The guys, on the other hand, just stared blankly at the expressions on the girl's faces. Lukan was now sitting on a chair, Kaleb standing next to him. Lance was still in the bone crushing hold of Reese, while Fred was sitting on the floor mumbling something about gravy and killer chickens eating him for dinner. Todd was constantly hopping around Wanda, who was totally ignoring him. Pietro slowed down enough to stare blankly at Mystique, who was looking up in thought.
"I had an idea." She proclaimed. Was that an evil glint in her eye? "Why don't the boys take you all out around town today? Just so you know where everything is? After all, you will all be attending Bayville High on Monday, so you need to know where it is."
Tabitha nearly fell off her chair. "But what about what I said just now?"
"We keep the name, Tabitha." Mystique glared at Pietro, who was snickering. Then she smirked. "We'll talk about the Sisterhood's actions later."
Pietro tripped over his shoe.
Say hi to the ground for me, Pietro.
