Brotherhood Evolution: Something Stirs Below
Well, well, well. Its time to start laying down some serious future plot work. I hope you all enjoy.
********************
The Morlock Tunnels
"Got any three's?" Evan asked.
"Go fish." Calisto stated with a smile.
"Great." Evan muttered to himself.
"Things have been remarkable quite lately." Calisto stated as she leaned back.
"Except for Caliban going missing. I haven't seen him in a couple of days." Scaleface said simply.
"Oh, you know him. He's probably just brooding." Calisto stated.
"Yea. I don't know though. I got a weird feeling." Evan said simply.
********************
Xavier's
"I got another letter from Lance." Kitty squealed as she entered the room she shared with Rouge. "I can't believe he's actually writing on a regular basis now."
"Well you two did patch things up when X-Factor was here a while ago." Rogue stated, as she lay on her bed, letting her black nail polish dry.
"I know. He's so sweet…" Kitty said as she stared dreamily into the air.
"Here we go." Rouge muttered to herself.
"Lets see here." Kitty said as she read the note aloud. "It like reads 'Dear Kitty. Go to the front door and open it.' What?" Kitty asked in shock.
"I don't believe it." Rogue said as she looked out the window as Kitty ran downstairs to the front of the institute. She opened the door to see Lance standing there in a leather jacket, black t-shirt and jeans. His hair was still scruffy albeit longer.
"Hey Kitty." Lance said with a smirk as she threw her arms around him.
"Lance! I missed you!' Kitty shouted as she kissed him.
"I can tell. It's only been a month." Lance said as he twirled her around.
"What are you doing here?"
"Valerie sent Omega, X, and Toad on a mission in New York City. I tagged along for the ride and they dropped me off here so I could spend some time with you."
"Good." Kitty said simply. "I want you to try my new muffin recipe. Triple rice patty bran muffins made with soy."
"Eep." Lance squeaked as his face went white. "Um, I was thinking more along the line of a movie or something…" Lance began before Kitty dragged him inside.
"Silly. You'll love them." Kitty stated with a huge smile.
~ Welcome back Lance. ~ Xavier's voice rang in his head, a slight hint of humor to it.
"Figures. The one thing I wasn't trained to deal with..." Lance thought to himself as Kitty dragged him into the kitchen.
********************
New York City Sewers
"This is hopeless." X muttered to herself as she and Omega prowled the sewers.
"Hey. Sabertooth was reported to be seen in these sewers. And ever since Magneto became a pile of ash thanks to Apocalypse, the feral man doesn't have anyone keeping him on a leash." Toad said as he scanned the sewers. "So it's best if we find him before the shit hits the fan."
"I don't know why we didn't bring Forge and Betsy. We could use their help." X muttered.
"Forge was busy rebuilding the training facility after what you and Freddy did to it this morning, and Betsy refused to come down into the sewers while her nails were still wet." Mike stated as he forged ahead. "Hey Toad, does this pipe system look familiar?"
"Yea. It's the same type and design as the piping in Bayville's sewers." Toad said simply.
"What where you guys doing in Bayville's sewers?" X asked as she wiped sweat off of her face.
"Easiest way into the school after hours was through the sewage system." Mike said simply. "God those were the days." Mike said as he and Toad slapped hands.
"I don't want to know." X said simply with a smirk.
"Yep." Toad said simply with a smile. "I wonder." Toad muttered as he pulled out a map and went over it with a flashlight. "Mike, According to this, that tunnel right there leads directly into Bayville."
"Interesting." X said as she sniffed the tunnel. "I got a scent. It's animalistic in nature. And there are more. About half a dozen other scents with it. And they're all fresh. A couple hours old at the most." X said as she tightened her uniform.
"Which means Toothy's going back to Bayville and he's using the sewers to cover his tracks. And he's got some Friends with him." Toad said.
"Or hostages." X added.
"But if my memory serves me right, this junction leads right into the Morlock tunnels." Mike said simply. "Sabertooth should know that."
"Let me check." Toad muttered. "Worse. It leads them right into their main den."
"Damn." X muttered. "I got a feeling that's what Sabertooth wanted."
"The Morlocks don't stand a chance." Mike muttered. "Even with Daniels sporting his new powers Sabertooth is still out of their league."
"And he's got friends." Toad muttered.
"X. Get on the horn with Val and get the rest of X-Factor down here. We're going to need the help. Toad, try and get in contact with Lance. If he's with Kitty right now than maybe he can get the X-men to help get the Morlocks out of the way." Mike said as X and Toad took out communicators. "I'm gonna forge ahead and try and see what going on." Mike stated.

The Morlock Tunnels
(Clack click clack)
"Whose there?" Scaleface asked as she did her patrol. She walked carefully towards the slight clicking sound.
"Death." Came the cackle as a harpoon tore through Scaleface's chest, pinning her to a wall."
"Nice shot Harpoon." Flux said as she and a man with a dozen harpoon walked out of the shadows. "Unfortunately, she's still alive. And we can't have that, can we?" Flux said with a twisted smile as she held her hands out and waves of energy ripples around her, distorting the air as Scaleface began to melt away. "There, that's better." Flux said with a smile as Scaleface's bones fell to the ground.
"Lets carry on then, shall we?" Harpoon asked as he grabbed his spear. The two ran off laughing.
********************
"Hello?" Lucid asked as he prowled the tunnels.
"Wrong place at the wrong time kid." Lucid turned to see Sabertooth charging towards him.
"Sweet god…" Lucid muttered as Sabertooth tackled him. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
********************
Did you hear that?" Evan asked as he shot up.
"It sounded like Lucid." Calisto muttered.
"Where's Façade?" Evan asked.
"In the south tunnels, on patrol with the others." Calisto responded. A chorus of screams echoed through the tunnels.
"What was that?" Evan asked as the other Morlocks stood up.
"It came from the south tunnels." Masque pointed out.
"You all stay here." Calisto stated to the gathered Morlocks.
"Let's go!" Evan shouted as he and Calisto bolted towards the sounds of the screams. "My God…" he was stopped dead in his tracks when he and Calisto entered a room that was coated in blood and gore. Lucid's necklace hung from a bloody skull that lay across the floor.
"Who could have done this?" Calisto asked in shock.
"We have to find the others." Evan stated as he grabbed Calisto's arm and the two took off down another tunnel.
"HELP ME!" Came the scared scream from another room, followed by a sticking tearing sound and a chorus of more screams.
"Where the hell are they?" Evan demanded as he and Calisto returned to the main room to find it littered with the bodies of other Morlocks.
"Masque!" Calisto shouted as she ran over to a figure with a harpoon in her old chest. The old woman coughed up blood in Calisto's face.
"Run…child…" Masque muttered before she went limp.
"Jesus." What is going on?" Evan demanded.
"A massacre." Came the cool reply from behind him in the shadows. Evan and Calisto turned to see Sabertooth and the Reaver's step into the light. "The Morlock Massacre." Sabertooth said with a toothy grin.

Next Time on Brotherhood Evolution: The Morlock Massacre. X-Factor goes into the Morlock tunnels to try and stop the Reaver's. But are they to late?
