Brotherhood Evolution: Aliens, Part I: What the hell is that?
Ahhh, another four-parter to hold down the fort. Don't you all love the off-seasons? (Crickets chirp.) I thought so. NOW ON WITH THE SHOW!!!
********************
Xavier's
"Help me… Help us… The war… is coming… to you… Charles Xavier!" A strange helmeted figure cried out as it floated in space.
"AHHHH!!!" Xavier shouted as he woke up in a start. "This is the fifth night in a row that I've had this dream." Xavier thought as he pulled himself into his wheel chair and rolled himself outside onto his balcony. "What could it mean?" Xavier thought as he watched the sun rise.

The Brotherhood of Bayville Boarding House
"Toad. For the last time, Aliens aren't real." Pietro said as he tried to convince Toad and Blob to take off their tinfoil hats.
"Really?" Toad asked skeptically. "The how do you explain Area 51, and Roswell New Mexico, and all those hicks that claim they've been abducted?" Toad pointed out.
"Yea!" Blob added.
"Lance? You wanna help out here?" Pietro asked Lance, who was lounging on the couch.
"I'm staying out of this one." Lance said simply as he changed the channel.
"Hey guys, what going…" Mike began as he walked into the pallor where the others where. He stopped when he saw Toad and Blob wearing tinfoil hats, and turned around and left.
"What the hell are you two doing?" Tabitha asked as she and Wanda walked in and stared at the two metal-headed morons.
"You really don't want to know." Lance quipped from the couch.
(KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!)
"What the hell?" Wanda asked as the house shook from an explosion.
"Damn it Blob! Have you been eating at Taco Bell again?" Pietro demanded.
"Hey guys?" Betsy said as he head popped out of a shadow on the wall. "You better come out back and take a look at this…" Betsy said as the Brotherhood ran outside to see their backyard completely decimated, more so than usual.
"Wow. This is something you don't see every day." Mike said as he stared at the destruction.
"Unless your us." Lance added as he walked toward a giant steaming rock that was in the center of the yard. Lance walked towards it, eyeing the smoking heap carefully. "Um, guys. This rock is yellow and black…and it's moving around." Lance pointed out as suddenly the strange rock leapt up at him, trying to cover him in a strange blanket of sorts. "BACK OFF!" Lance shouted as something invisible pulsed out of him, knocking the material backward.
"What the hell?" Mike asked, as his tendricals were unleashed. Betsy's Psionic knife erupted from her hand and Wanda started to conjure up a hex. The material rose up off the ground and began to take shape. "This is definitely not going to end well…" Mike said as the substance took the form of a nine-foot tall man with a beard. He was broad, and had glowing red eyes. His yellow and black skin shifted around, seeming to be almost alive.
(Bzt) "I… am… Harvest…" The thing spoke in a monotone voice. "Herald of the Phalanx… I will be your destruction human…" The thing said as its arm transformed into a giant gun.
"Told you." Mike said as the thing unleashed a pulse of energy, scattering the mutants.
"You picked up the wrong information buddy, 'cause we ain't human." Wanda said as she unleashed a hex bolt at Harvest. Harvest screamed in pain as his techno-organics where ripped apart by Wanda's hex bolt.
"You got him baby cakes!" Toad shouted. To his horror Harvest then reformed himself as if nothing happened. "Then again, maybe not…"
"Query: This individual seems to posses the innate ability to affect probability ratio's. Hardwiring systems to absorb further attack of this nature… complete. Continuing with extermination and absorbtion procedures." Harvest said to himself out loud, as though he was a computer.
"This isn't good…" Wanda muttered as she launched another hex bolt at Harvest, only to get no affect.
"Let me try…" Tabitha said as she created a hand full of time bombs and chucked them at Harvest, who looked like he grew another three inches and put on a hundred pounds of muscle as the strange yellow and black material from Harvest coated the yard of the Brotherhood. The bombs blew Harvest to bit, but once again he reformed himself as the techno organics of Harvest spread forth, coving tress, and absorbing them.
"Query… This human seems to possess the ability to generate plasma based explosives with a time limit to detonation… Hard wiring circuitry to compensate for further attacks of this nature… Complete… Query… This unit has absorbed enough organic material to begin self-replication procedures…" Harvest said as he began to split in half.
"Ew. That is distgusting." Toad said.
"This from the kid who eats bugs?" Lance asked.
"Why can't we just have a normal day…" Betsy asked as Harvest split into two identical copies one of which shifted to assume a shape of a female human.
"Query… Self-replication complete. Must rest for twenty-four hours to recharge internal power sources before mission can resume. Objective, find suitable location and secure it… Location found…" Harvest said as he liquefied into yellow and black matter and spread into the Brotherhood's house, forming a shield around it and closing it off. The female one dove into the liquid covering and got absorbed into it as well.
"Ain't that a bitch…" Pietro muttered as the Brotherhood watched as they loss their house.
"So what do we do now?" Lance asked as the Brotherhood all looked at Pietro.
"Let me try something…" Mike said as he sent out his tendrical toward the covered house. "AHHHH!!!" Mike screamed as a blade erupted from the house, severing a piece of the tendrical and absorbing it. "That was bad…" Mike muttered as he withdrew the bleeding tendrical back into his arm and clutched his arm in pain.
"You okay luv?" Betsy asked as she rubbed his back.
"Yea." Mike muttered as he rubbed his sore arm.
"From my first guess, I'd say this is an alien life form made from technology and organics in a combination that allows it to be a living computer of sort with the ability to grow exponentially as it absorbs other organic or technological matter." Toad said as the others all stared at him dumbfounded.
"How?" Wanda asked as she stared at him, slack jawed.
"That's a good question." Pietro pointed out.
"I dunno. It just kinda seems logical and fits with what we witnessed.
"I'm scared Freddy…" Tabitha said as she hugged Blob.
"Stop it Toad! You're making sense! IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT!" Fred shouted as the Brotherhood all backed away from Toad.
"Hmmm…" Maybe we should pay a visit to Forge." Lance said as he stared at the house. "He's a techno genius, he might be able to figure this out." Lance said as he shook a headache out.
"Seems like the obvious choice." Toad said simply. "But I think it would be a good idea if one of us stays here and keeps an eye on this place just in case something happens."
"He's continuing to make Sense!" Tabitha screamed.
"WHO ARE YOU!" Blob shouted at Toad.
"Kill it!" Tabitha shouted as she and Blob began to chase Toad around.
"I'll do it." Mike said simply. "This thing seems to have the ability to nullify certain energy attacks after being hit by them. My powers are all physical based, so I stand the best chance in case something happens."
"I agree. Though I want Blob to stay here as well, just in case." Lance said as Blob body slammed Toad into the ground.
"Be careful Luv." Betsy said as she kissed him.
"Now that that's settled…" Lance said as he turned to the others. "So, who remembers where the techno geek lives?"
"My spine..." Toad moaned.

Bayville High
"Great game Duncan…" Walter said as he and Duncan walked into the locker room.
"Thanks man." Duncan said with a smile as they opened the door. That team was really… WHAT THE HELL!" Duncan shouted as a strange insectoid like creature with a mouth full of fangs stared at the two boys.
"Welcome to the Brood meat bags… May you serve the Empress well." The thing hissed as tendricals whirled around Duncan and Walter, dragging them into the room. Their screams went unnoticed as everyone else had already gone home.
********************
Xavier's
"Having more nightmares?" Logan asked as he and Xavier sat in his study going over some paperwork.
"I'm not so convinced that they're nightmares Logan, more like some kind of Warning." Xavier said as he looked up at his compatriot.
"Think it has to do with apocalypse?"
"I don't believe so, but I can't be sure. It seems more like a plea then a warning, like someone's begging for my help."
"I don't know chuck, with everything that's going on lately, nothing can surprise me now." Logan said simply as the air behind him distorted.
"What the…" Xavier said as a bright flash of light filled the room and the helmeted figure from Xavier's dreams appeared in front of them. "Who are you?" Xavier asked in shock.
"I am Lilandra. And I need your help." The figure said as it took of its helmet to reveal a beautiful woman with her hair up in a reverse mow hawk.
"I stand corrected…"Logan muttered.
********************
Next Time on Brotherhood Evolution: If this wasn't so scary, it'd be really cool. With Forges Help, the Brotherhood begin to unravel the mystery's of the Phalanx, but are they too late? And what does Lilandra have to do with it? And why the hell is the football team attacking the mansion?
