Storm and the five young x-men ran from room to room looking for Pyro. Finally they found him lying on the floor with a piece of wood stuck threw his left leg.
"Oh, my. Peter help me carry him. We need to get him down to the clinic and fast. He has lost a lot of blood. Hurry."
Bobby, Syrin, Rogue and Jubilee ran to the elevator and were soon followed by Colossus, with John, also known as Pyro, and Storm was behind them. It was Storm's responsibility to get John to safety and she could only do the best she could do
"I found it." Jean cried as she lifted several pieces of metal off of it with her telekinetic powers.
"Good. We only have two minutes left. "Wolverine said. It had taken them almost the whole hour just to find the destructive device.
"Now what do we do?" Theressa asked.
"Let's destroy the thing." Wolverine commented.
I wouldn't do that if I were you, Logan.
You know I really hate you popping in my head like that.
I know. Well, what is the verdict? Death by pain or will you do what I asked?
It's really a no win situation for us isn't it? Theressa said.
I mean if we don't activate the device then Jean and I die but, Theressa paused to think.
But if we do then the whole world dies.
Jean and Theressa exchanged glances. They knew exactly what to do. Theressa blasted the machine twice with some lasers while Wolverine did the finishing touches.
Your hour is up. Make up your mind.
We just did, Bub. We are willing to take the risk of losing two people verses the whole world. Wolverine said.
Fools! That's your decision. Then so be it.
Mystique. Mystique Cold Flame rang in Mystiques head.
Xavier, Magneto, Cyclops, and Mystique were in the dinning room. Cyclops never shifted his vision from Mystique. He saw her head rise. Xavier was aware that she was communicating with someone but let it go.
Mystique, turn the device to full blast. The two have chosen death by pain.
Mystique brought out the devise and did as told. At that moment Xavier fell out of his wheelchair clutching his head. Cyclops went for Mystique but someone was trying to talk to him on his communicator, so he stopped.
"Cyke. Cold Fire turned the device on. Jean passed out and Theressa isn't far behind. So how are things going?" Wolverine said over his com- link
"Xavier's on the floor passed out. Pyro might be dead and I'm about to blow Mystique away. What do you need?"
"Nothing. I was just calling to be calling".
"Wolverine we don't have time to play around. Get them out of there and back here as fast as you can."
Scott walked over to Xavier, who was now unconscious, and picked him up. He then turned to Mystique and said.
"I'm not finished with you yet, Mystique. I'll be back."
