X-Squad Part II

(A/N: This isn't set during any comic period, so I'd just like to point that out, that's why certain characters are on the wrong side, etc.)

John had been captured and the mission was simple. Rescue him.

"Alright," said Shadowstalker, "Here's the plan, Barrier and Pys-Blaze take the left. Feral and Chrysalis take the right, while Precog and I..."

KA-BOOM!

Let's cause some mayhem! Shouted Ps-blaze as he blasted the robotic guards.

Feral began changing shape when he was hit by a stun beam; Chrysalis was the second to fall when one of the guards latched on to her and sent an electric pulse through her, knocking her unconscious.

Shadowstalker, tried weaving and dodging between blasts, however he got careless and teleported directly into the bath of a stun beam.

Precog lasted longer due to his ability to 'see' a short distance into the future, but he was caught off guard by two robot-guards

Suddenly a blast hit John and his head rolled to the floor, his flesh charred leaving a robotic skull on the floor.

The Danger Room scenario ended.

Michael The Professor said telepathically why did you kill John?

Well we was loosing, Michael explained I thought it better he died then the enemy learn our secrets, besides it wasn't him it was just a robot

BAMF!

"And whose fault is it we were loosing?" asked Rob, "If I remember I was halfway through giving orders when you shouted 'Let's cause some mayhem!'"

X-Squad, report to the control room. Now The Professor Order

The Team assembled in the control room situated above the danger room and John who was stood near the Professor whistled softly.

"You guys are soooo in the shi-" John started

"Jonathan, please." Said The Professor, "Now, I've come to a very important decision regarding the team, It is now time to tell you who will be your team leader."

The team all listened carefully, although they already knew it was John, while he had a slight temper, the others listened to him.

"As you may have guessed your new team leader is Nova," The Professor began, "However I always assign a second-in-command, this will be Shadowstalker. Now back to your training, and Michael?"

Yes Professor? Michael replied,

"This time don't kill the hostage."

Aw, dammit

As time went on the team got better at working together, and the newer team members began to accept Shadowstalker for who he was.

"Not a chance," Said John, "Hell would freeze over first."

"I don't believe you," said Rob, "I'm gonna do it."

"Go ahead, prepare to crash and burn my friend."

Rob stuck his tongue and stood up he took a deep breath, then walked over to Kitty Pryde.

"Um... Hi" he said,

Kitty turned to face him and smiled,

"Oh hey, Rob." She said with a smile, "Feel more comfortable around the rest of us now?"

Rob nodded, un-able to talk.

"Well I.uh...um bye!" he said, then teleported away.

He reappeared in the room where he was talking with John, Mike and Danny.

You suck said Mike,

"I suck." Agreed Rob, "On a scale of 1-10 of lameness I'm something like one million."

"Don't say that," John told him, "That's not as nearly as lame as you are."

Later that day the mansions alarm went off and the young mutants immediately assembled in the mansions underground war-room.

"It's the brotherhood," Xavier explained, "They've invaded the mansion grounds, but this movement is unusual and erratic. Eric... what are you up to?"

"Uh sir?" said Feral, "What about the senior team?"

"They're away at the moment on another mission." Explained Xavier, "Stop the brotherhood, that is your mission."

Nova nodded,

"Team, let's go." He said

Oh yeah, ass-whopping time! Michael said with a telepathic laugh.

The team rushed out to meet their foes, although this caused Charles to worry. The X-squad were all rookies with no real field experience, the brotherhood on the other hand…

The mansions defence turrets didn't have chance to lock on. With a whiz of speed and a streak of blue and white, they had all been knocked off line.

"It's done," Said Quicksilver, "Now could the rest of you hurry your Asses up?"

A gigantic fist smashed through the wall that protected the mansions grounds, then again. The wall crumbled and the invulnerable Juggernaut stepped in.

"Still don't know why your on board with this," said Quicksilver hastily, "Your not even a mutant."

"Who's side would you rather I be on runt?" asked Juggernaut, "Yours or Chuck's?"

Quicksilver shrugged as Mystique, Toad, Pyro and Avalanche joined them.

Mystique sighed,

"The idea was not to create to much attention," She said in an angry tone, "But well since you boys want a fight it looks like you got one."

The X-Squad had assembled in front of them.

"Alright!" Said Nova, "Shadowstalker you take the toad, Psy-Blaze you take on Avalanche, Feral you take Mystique, Precog you and me are gonna take Quicksilver. Chrysalis, Barrier, you two try and hold back the Juggernaut."

"Thank you, Monsieur Leader," Said Chrysalis sarcastically, "What kind of a man let's the girls take on the tough guy?"

Nova was throwing balls of fire towards Quicksilver but he was too slow, Quicksilver yawned loudly,

"The type of man that knows your powers stand a better chance against him then ours do! Precog, little help!" shouted John

"Over there!" shouted Precog and pointed towards the direction of the water fountain,

John throw a fireball at the fountain and Quicksilver ran right into it, it set him on fire but also knocked him into the fountain, which extinguished the flames.

Meanwhile

Psy-Blaze looked at his opponent and telepathically sighed, I should be going up against Juggernaut not this freak

Avalanche wasn't offended, because he was to busy causing an earthquake as soon as Mike tried to blast him, so Mike was off-balance. Instead of blasting Avalanche he blew a hole in the side of the mansion.

"Damn! My room!" Said Shadowstalker as he punched Toad in the face,

Sorry! Said Michael as he redirected his blast at Avalanche, Now I'm in control again!

Shadowstalker was dodging, and ducking and teleporting around the toad.

While the others were fighting Mystique called to her teammates.

"Retreat, fall back!"

Mystique dropped a gas bomb to cover the brotherhoods escape, by the time the smoke cleared the brotherhood were long gone.

Sometime later

"I don't understand," said Shadowstalker, "What did the brotherhood want?"

"I don't know Robert," Said the Professor, "And that concerns me greatly."
