Beyond Mutation: Evolution Continues
It's been several years since the battle against Apocalypse and the actions of the X-Men and the Brotherhood are all but forgotten.
All the X-men have graduated from school either following a career as a teacher at Charles Xavier's School for the Gifted or have headed to university.
Joining forces once more Magneto and Mystique have rebuilt the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and have been responsible for many terrorist attacks against the human governments around the world
And both Professor X and Magneto are looking for new recruits.
"Ok Pauli" a slender brunette said "let's see you get get through this wall. See you on the other side" she said as she phased through
"Ok...ok I can do this" she said to herself as she concentrated on the wall.
She quickly turned invisible and pushed herself through the wall. Re-appearing infront of the brunette she screamed excitedly
"I DID IT!!! I DID IT!!! Thank you so much Kitty" she said hugging her.
"Hey it's ok Pauli. I've got to get to class now, but I've got some free time on...Monday if you want to do this again" she said looking through a diary.
"Yeah sure. That'll be great" she said as Kitty picked up a bag, jumped in a car and drove away.
'Pauli? Have you finished with Kitty?' a voice said in her head
'Yeah I have Paul. Why?'
'Logan wants us all for a danger room session. I think the professor is gonna evaluate us or something'
'I'll be there in 10 minutes, I need to change into my uniform.'
'Right see you soon'
As she was 'talking' to her brother she had managed to get to the room she shared with Kim and Erika. They were both already there and had just got changed
"Hey how'd things go with Kitty?" Kim asked as she tied her dreads back
"It went good, I managed to get through a 2 foot wall this time" she said picking out her uniform
"Wow well done." Erika said as she pulled on her gloves. "I guess you heard about Logans test thing"
"Yeah, but you guys go on ahead I'll catch up"
"We can wait if you want. Easier if all 3 of us are late" Kim said as she sat down on her bed
"No don't worry about it. I'll be 5 minutes at most."
"Suit yourself" Erika said as she and Kim left Pauli to change

Danger room
"Right!" Logan shouted at the students who were all lined up as he paraded up and down the line. "Today we're gonna show the professor just how good you have got with your powers. This is gonna be a group demonstration. We will do a practice mission. You are all on the same team. Your objective is to get to the top of this mountain. The mission ends when each one gets there, but it's not that simple. You will have to defeat several of the robo-brotherhood and a specially selected person at the top of the mountain. You can all guess who that is" Logan said popping his claws. "The mission begins as soon as the simulation starts. You have 5 minutes to come up with a plan" he said as he left the danger room
"Ok were screwed" Neil said as he turned to the others.
"Come on Neil We'll be fine, we can do this" Jack said as they all began to huddle together
"This is several robo-brotherhoods AND Logan. We won't be fine" Paul said agreeing with Neil
"No Jack's right. We just have to remember all the robots have a weakness. Logan may be difficult, but we can do this. I'll just throw everything I have at him and we should stall him long enough for us to get passed him" Kim said creating a few spikes from her hand.
"Right. First we should decide on a leader." Erika said
"Why?" Neil asked
"Well if we have a leader then we won't get confused and mess up"
"Ok so who's gonna be the leader?" Paul asked
"Vote?" Kim asked as they all began to think "I vote for Jack"
"Me too" everyone, but Jack, said in unison
"What?! Why me?!"
"You've been at the school longer than the rest of us and your top of all the classes so it makes sense" Kim replied
"You arrived 20 minutes after me!!!" he sighed "Fine. I'll do it."
"So what's the plan...sir?" Neil said making the others laugh
"Right, Michael when it starts I want you to take flight and see exactly who we're gonna be facing. Pauli. Your the only one that can get passed Logan without him sensing you so your gonna play a BIG role when we get to the top. The rest of you just get ready to deal some serious damage. Oh and it's codemanes this time, they'll want that"
"RIGHT!" they all shouted in unison as the simulation began
"Seraphim" Jack said as he took off and flew up to the top. "Erika can we get a wall of water, just incase robo-pyro is around here"
"Way ahead of you." she said as a near by river lifted up and surrounded them.
It wasn't long until Michael got back and landed behind the wall
"There are 4 robots. Robo-toad, Robo-quicksilver, Robo-Pyro and Robo-Blob. And Logan is at the top. The bastard threw a rock at me."
"Ok who's nearest?"
"Robo-toad."
"Ok. Barb and Ironclad he's yours." Neil and Kim high fived "Who's next?"
"Then it's Robo-Blob"
"Seraphim he's all yours. Then?"
"Robo-Pyro, but Robo-Quicksilver might get there first"
"Ok, Cascade and Ghost you go after Robo-Pyro, Carapace. You and me will take Robo-Quicksilver. I'll freeze him you pound him. Is everyone clear on that?"
"Yes" they said in unison.
"Ok. I'll see you at the top." Jack said as Erika dropped the water wall and everyone headed off
===
Barb and Ironclad
The 2 were making their way some thick foliage in the direction were Robo-Toad was supposed to be
"So...you and Jack" Neil started
"What about me and Jack?"
"Well are you...you know"
"I'm sure I do, but Jack and I are nothing more than friends. It is possible for a man and a women to be just friends" she said irritated
"So why did you choose him to be leader?"
"Because if I didn't choose him, someone would choose me"
"All I'm saying is..." before he could finish Robo-Toad jumped on him knocking him down
===
Seraphim
Taking flight once more Michael flew to were he last saw Robo-Blob. And sure enough he was still there. Picking up speed he flew straight into him pounding him into the ground
===
Cascade and Ghost
"Ok he's been here" Erika said as she looked at the scorched foliage around them. That was when a man and horse made of flame appeared behind them. Followed by the near psychotic laughter of Pyro
===
Chronoslide and Carapace
As they walk in silence. Waiting for the slightest sound or small breeze expecting it to be Robo-Quicksilver. Suddenly out of no where Jack was knocked over by him, but as quick as he turned to throw a time bubble he was gone again
"Well at least we know he's here" Paul said extending his hand out to him, but just as he began to pull him up Robo-Quicksilver knocked Paul down aswell
"Can you read robot minds?" Jack asked as the 2 got to their feet.
===
Barb and Ironclad
As Robo-toad turned toward Kim, she had already produced a large barb and threw it toward him. As he dodged it the barb caught his uniform and pinned him to a near tree. She quickly threw more off and got him completely stuck
"Not so clever now are you?" she said laughing at him
As she went to help Neil up Robo-Toad fired out his tongue hitting her head. Nearly knocking her out
She looked at the robot which was seemingly laughing at her. Getting to her feet. She produced a 3 foot long red spike and fired it through Robo-Toads head. It went straight through and stuck halfway out the otherside of the tree.
"Owww....what happened?" Neil said as he got to his feet.
"Robo-Toad knocked you spark out." she said with a slight laugh
As his vision centered he noticed her forehead
"Hey your bleeding"
Quickly touching her forehead she looked at the blood that began to run down her forehead
"Aww man" she said as she wiped as much away as she could on her sleeve "Come-on we better get to the top
===
Seraphim
As Michael got up he realized he had missed Robo-Blob. Turning round Robo-Blob came from behind wrapping his arms around Michaels arms and top wings, causing immense pain.
Flicking his wings up to Robo-Blobs nose causing him to sneeze and let go. Michael turned and picked him up slamming him into a cliff side. Sighing he turned and was about to fly again when Robo-Blob grabbed his tail and swung him into the cliff side.
As he tried to get his bearings back Robo-Blob knocked him on to his front. Stamping on his back and grabbing his tail Robo-Blob started to pull at him causing intense pain. Before Robo-Blob ripped his tail from his body a spike suddenly appeared in his chest and he staggered back. Looking up Michael saw Kim and Neil running toward him. Kim fired another spike as Neil turned his hands into sledge hammers. As the second spike hits the robot Neil jumps and hammered both spikes straight through him. Robo-Blob staggers before falling back
"Are you ok?" Kim asked as Michael got to his feet
"I'm fine. Thank you for helping me" he said "Come on, we better get to the summit"
===
Cascade and Ghost
A knight made of fire and one made of water were fighting intensely. As each blow was made masses of steam surrounded them.
"Come on Ghost. Get Robo-Pyro. I can only keep his attention for a while!" Erika yelled as she stood behind the water knight
Nodding Pauli turned invisible and soon reappeared behind the robot slamming a nearby rock into its head. It fell into a heap and the fire knight disappeared
"Nice shot." Erika said as Michael, Neil and Kim came over the hill to were they were.
"So you guys finished here?" Kim said as they looked at the sparks bursting from the back of Robo-Pyros head.
"Yeah. Where are Chronoslide and Carapace?"
===
Chronoslide and Carapace
Paul stood for a second as the wind around them grew. Suddenly his eyes opened. "THERE!" he shouted as Jack created a time bubble and threw it at were he was pointing. Suddenly Robo-Quicksilver was standing perfectly still
"Not so fast now" Jack said with a laugh "Carapace if you would."
"My pleasure" Paul said as he began to pummel the time frozen robot
It was not long until they saw the others running toward them
"Have you all defeated the Robo-brotherhood?" Jack asked as they all gathered
"Yes sir, Mr Chronoslide sir."
"Very funny Kim" Jack said "Right..."
"Barb" Kim said
"What?"
"On missions you gotta call me Barb"
"OK. Right does anyone have an idea on how to get passed Logan?"
"I was thinking Ghost could slip past him and do the rock to the head thing she did to Robo-Pyro" Erika stated
"Ok. Ghost can you turn anyone else invisible?"
"I haven't done it before, but I can try."
"Right. If you can get this to work Ghost. You and I'll slip past Logan I'll freeze him and you guys just walk pass"
"Sounds good" Kim said as Erika put her hand on Jack shoulder and concentrated as the 2 turned invisible
Erika and Jack slipped right by Logan. In there current state he couldn't even pick up their scent
"Were are those damn kids?" he mumbled "I didn't make it to hard for them did I?"
Jack soon reappeared behind him and created a time bubble. As he was about to throw it Logans popped his claws, turned and lunged at Jack.
Luckily he managed to get the time ball into Logans chest freezing him solid. As Jack finally plucked up enough courage to open his eyes. He saw Logans claws less than an inch away from him
"Shit" he said under his breath.
The others quickly appeared and were quick into the hut. Jack brought Logan back and the simulation ended
"Excellent. Excellent" Professor X said as the door opened and he and a young girl with blue dyed hair walked into the room "You have all done brilliantly. Especially you Jack. You are a natural leader"
"Thank you very much Professor" he said as he and the others looked at the girl standing by him
"Oh I am sorry. This is Krystal Clay. She will be joining your class next semester."
"Hi" Krystal said with a smile
Hey's and Hi's came from the team as Krystal noticed Kim's head
"Hey you've cut yourself"
"Oh this it's nothing. I've had worse" she said as Krystal touched Kim's forehead and the cut began to heal over
"Krystal has the ability to heal, much like Logans, but hers gift works on others aswell as herself" the professor said as the cut totally disappeared
"Wow. Thanks" Kim said rubbing were the cut used to be
"Well the mini-bus is ready to take you all to the airport. I shall see you all next semester." the professor said as he and Krystal leave together.
Everyone, but Kim and Jack start to leave
"Hey didn't you here the professor? It's time to go" Neil said
"Yeah, but we don't have anyone to go home to" Kim said as Jack looked at his feet
"Oh...err sorry guys"
"Hey don't worry man. We'll see you soon" Jack said as Neil left the danger room "So what do you wanna do?"
"What can we do?" she said as the 2 began to make their way out of the danger room
-robots given the same abilities as the brotherhood members, not any of my OC's, but I bet you've already guessed that
=================================================================================================
Sorry for not adding those I OC's I said I would, but I've had a few more ideas and I'm gonna work with them for now.
