Generation X Evolution: Saved by the Bell
Well I see you people like what I'm a doing. So lets carry on then, shall we?
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Xavier's, Massachusetts
(BOOM)
"That was a big lightning blast." Everett stated as Generation X was gathered in the common room, playing games as the storm raged on. "Paige and Angelo looked up from they're game of scrabble as Jubilee war-whooped after beating Rahne in another game of Mario Land.
"So Angelo. Can you tell me where in the dictionary I can find Xenoghyuihjy?" Paige asked.
"It's a ghetto term senorita. And that makes triple word score, double letter score and triple word score again… 235 points for me." Angelo said with a smile.
"I don't think so." Paige stated.
"Please. Stop trying to be what you're not Chiquita. You are what you are and nothing else."
"Oh, and what's that. Ang?" Paige asked as Angelo put some more tiles down, spelling out HICK.
"I'm to much of a gentlemen to say." Angelo stated.
"Really." Paige stated as she put down tiles that spelled out ASSHOLE.
"Ouch. You hurt me." Angelo stated in mock pain.
"Children Please!" Came the Psionic call in all of they're heads. " The Immaturity… pouring… from this room is… simply overwhelming…" Angelo and Paige turned to the window to see Chamber standing outside in the rain, his Psionic core exposed, giving off an eerie light to the surrounding area despite the downpour.
"Sorry paco. But we're not going to be lectured on maturity from someone who's standing outside in the rain." Angelo stated. "So later for you man."
"Much later." Paige added. A bolt of lightning appeared and Chamber was gone.
"Huh. Think we hurt his feelings?" Angelo asked.
"I don't think he has any…" Paige muttered simply as Moria and Sean walked into the room.
"Son, I hate ta ask, but what is Xenoghyuihjy?" Banshee asked. Angelo just groaned as Moria laughed.
(BOOM!!)
"And yet another thunder clap…" Paige moaned as she turned her attention away from the game to outside.
" Everybody… it appears we have… a guest…" Came the Psionic call in all of they're heads.
"Why the bloody hell is it now…" Banshee muttered as Generation X went outside into the pouring rain. They saw the glow that was Chamber's bio-core in the distance. After a hasty run, they arrived to see Chamber standing in front of a small Chinese man with a flowing white Beard. "Friend of yours Jono?"
" No…"
"So who is he?" Paige asked as Jubilee pushed her way to the front.
"I don't believe it…" Jubilee moaned. "GOMURR!"
"A Jubilee-chan, how are you?" The little monk stated with a smile.
"You know this man lass?" Moria asked.
"Logan had a run in with this bugger a few years back. Back when he went questing for something called the Crimson Dawn." Jubilee explained.
"How is Logan-san?" Gomurr asked as he twirled his staff around.
"Looking for your head." Jubilee replied sarcastically.
"Well, then. Perhaps I should make haste. I have a gift for you all. She is…Penance…" Gomurr stated sadly before he disappeared in a flash of light, leaving a teenage girl on the ground. Her skin was a deep red, and she had razor sharp claws for fingers, with her hair being razor sharp.
"Okay. I am a dumb spic from the ghetto, so will someone tell me what the hell just happened?" Angelo demanded
"Penance…" Chamber stated simply as Banshee picked the girl up.
"Let's get her ta the med lab…" Banshee stated as he led the way.

The Next Day
(RING!)
"And dere's da bell." Angelo said as he sat in his seat, a pencil poking out of his grungy hair.
"The teacher's are late?" Paige asked as she sat at her desk, neat and prim.
"Oh no. That is such a horrible waste…" Jubilee moaned as she popped her gum as she slacked in her chair. "I wonder how penny is doing? I mean her powers are totally whack. Her body's atrophied so much its diamond hard? I mean that is WHACK! Right Hayseed?"
"Must you give everybody a nickname?" Paige asked.
"Sure thing Hayseed." Jubilee replied with a smirk.
"Oh, what a glorious day…" Rahne sang dryly as she scratched her ear. With her foot.
"Dog Girl. We have got to learn you proper." Jubilee stated.
"Nice English." Paige stated slyly.
"Eat me…"
"Now, now children. Enough of that." Moria stated as she walked into the room with Banshee.
"Where's Sparky?" Jubilee asked. "Haven't seen him around at all since we found Penny. Isn't he supposed to be a teacher or something?"
"Jono's been… busy." Banshee stated.
"A nice way of saying moping around." Paige replied.
"PAIGE!" Moria shouted. "Chamber's been through a lot. Give him time. He's monitoring Penance right now."
"Sorry ma'am." Paige replied.
"Alright. Tha first lesson for all of ye is how ta blend in with society, and when not ta use ya powers." Moria stated as she started writing on the board.
"This is gonna be a ball." Angelo stated as he picked up some of his skin, which slacked off him.

The Basement of the Boys Dorm, much later
It's Dark. It's Dank. It fits Jonothan Starsmore perfectly. People leave him alone down here. He can be alone. Or at least try.
"Jonothan?" Everett called as he descended the stairs. He reached the bottom and almost tripped over the original Nintendo system that was laying there, next to an old beat up television. Various vinyl record were scattered about and a sofa was against the wall, obviously used for sleeping.
"Can I… help you Goven'r…?" Came the voice in his head. Everett turned around to see Chamber standing in the doorway of the bathroom.
"Whoa. Um, I was wondering what you were up to." Everett stated.
" Zoning out in… front of the goggle… box." Chamber stated as he walked over and slumped onto the couch, the leather wrappings around his face coming loose slightly. Jonothan picked up the remote and flipped on the television.
"Mind if I join you?"
"Free country… Or so you… Yanks say…" Chamber projected.
"Cool." Everett stated as he grabbed a seat. Before any more conversation could be made an alarm sounded through the building. "What's that?" Everett asked.
" Alarm… there's trouble…" Chamber stated as he got up and ran outside, Synch right on his heels.
"What's up Sean?" Jubilee asked as Generation X gathered in the War Room.
"Take a look…" Banshee stated as he led them to the med-wing. Which was trashed.
"Well then. I think Penance woke up." Everett stated simply, pointing the giant hole in the wall.
"You think…" Jubilee stated. "What do we do Moria?"
"For that last time Jubilee, it's Dr. McTagert. Sean, what do ye think?"
"We go after her. She's scared. No telling what damage she could cause."
"It's starting to rain again…" Angelo pointed out. "I'll take communications, and keep track of you all." Angelo stated as he ran towards the control booth.
"Right. Moria, Jubilee and Rahne together, ye all take the south. Paige, you're with me. We're taking the north. Everett, you and Jono take the east, the mountains block off the West.
"Nix that Sean. Chamber pulled a lone wolf and disappeared." Everett stated.
"Saint's preserve me…" Banshee grumbled. "Okay then. Jubilee, you and Everett take the East. Moria, be careful lass. No telling what this child can do."
"I can handle myself Sean Cassidy." Moria stated as she walked over to a locker and pulled out a large weapon and battle armor. "Pulse gun. Disrupts the neuron-sensors in the brain, causing the target to fall unconscious… Ye dinna think I would come here unprepared, did ye?"
"D'oh…" Banshee stated.
"Let's be off then child." Moria stated as Rahne shifted into wolf form.

The East
"So. Do you think we'll find a wicked witch?" Jubilee asked as Everett smiled.
"I doubt it. Though I am a little worried about Chamber. He has this whole, Psionic-howl-from-the-grave vibe to him."
"Why. Sparky can manage." Jubilee stated. "In fact, back when I was with the X-men…
"Please. Not another, back when I was with the X-men speech…" Everett moaned.
"Fine. But you don't need to worry about Sparky. He single handedly took out the hell-fire club a while ago."
"Really. What's the hell-fire club?"
"Sigh…"
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The North side
"Why is it always raining around here?" Paige asked.
"Tis new England weather lass." Banshee stated with a smile. "And besides, we need ta be on our toes. No telling what this lass can do. We left her alone for five minutes and she completely trashed and destroyed the med lab…"
"I'm sure Professor Xavier isn't going to like that bill." Paige stated simply.
"He'll manage. He always does." Banshee stated as he touched a tree. Well, our girl defiantly came this way."
"How can you tell?" Paige asked.
"Take a look." Paige looked at the tree to see claw marks all over it.
"Well then, I think we should alert the others."
"Angelo, can y here me?" Banshee asked into his communicator.
"Se esse."
"We found Penance's trail. Let the others know." Banshee stated.
"Way ahead of you Sean." Angelo stated. Moria and Wolf-girl are ten minutes from you. As for Jubes and Everett, they're fifty yards from ya. And Chamber… Well, I can't find Jono anywhere. His Psionic powers are disrupting his tracking beacon."
"Most likely on purpose… Paige muttered.
"Thanks Angelo." Banshee stated.
"Be careful esse…" Angelo's voice stated, it was the last thing Banshee heard as he was tackled to the ground and knocked out by Penance. The girl whirled around and faced Paige, her razor sharp talons exposed.
"Alright little girl Paige stated as she grabbed her face, with a sickening tearing sound, Paige shed her skin, revealing a rock hard from underneath. "Let's Dance..." Paige stated, her voice now like gravel. Before Penance could attack, she was hit by a sonic blast from Everett, who was synching to the unconscious Banshee.
"There she goes…" Jubilee stated as Penance took off running.
"Sean?" Moria asked as she stooped over Banshee.
"Get me the name of that truck…" Sean stated drowsily.
"Let's go…" Rahne shouted as the mutants took off after Penance.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The West Side
" Come on then lass… That'll be enough of that…" Came the Psionic call inside of Penance's head. Penance whirled around to see Chamber standing on a log looking at her. Penance raised her hand, ready to strike as Chamber walked over. " I believe… you and I are… Kindred Spirits lass… Both… of our body's… have been ravaged by what our… powers have… done ta them… But I think…these blokes can help ye… just like they claim…they can help me… so what do you say…" Chamber asked as he walked over, Penance's talons just inches from his face. "Let's give these buggers a… chance…" He stared into Penance's eyes as she lowered her claws.
"Whoa… That was like total risk factor dude…" Jubilee stated as she walked over to Jonothan with the others. Penance just looked at them all strangely.
"Life is risk Lee… You just… have to learn how… to deal with it…" Chamber stated as he and Penance walked back towards the mansion.
"Hmm… Maybe he does still have a heart in there somewhere." Paige mused as Generation X followed Chamber back.
