There was a ragged cheer as they finally made it across the make-shift bridge. It was then that the other bridge was spotted and everyone decided to not mention it ever again. Except for Scott who was soaking wet in his spandex suit. And smelling. Very badly.

It was creepy, walking through the ghost town at the base of the castle but a nice break from goblins and surprises. Except when there was a holler followed by over a thousand of the things flooding out from the homes and from crevices.

"Ha!" Logan ripped out three throats in one brutal metal clawed swipe.

Kitty raised her stick. "Oh good, more goblins." She swung and sent one flying into a cannon which exploded and sent about twenty into a wall.

"That doesn't count."

She raised her eyebrows. "Twenty one." She hit another goblin. "Twenty two."

Over to a different part of the city, Ororo had taken to the skies and was lashing at the armies with lightning bolts and well placed minute tornadoes. She was taking great delight in crushing them like ants as she imagined the various tortures she was going to put Jean through for the whole mess they were in.

Evan added a few more spikes to the crumbling defence protecting him, the professor and Jean from the goblins. "Come on, we can't hold this off for much longer!"

"You'll have to."

"Oh man..."

"Eighty three, eighty four." Logan smirked at his growing mountain of corpses.

Kitty raised an eyebrow and kicked a goblin which fell and connonballed another five. "One hundred and seven, one hundred and eight, one hundred and nine."

"Shut up, half-pint."

She smirked and crushed another goblin skull.

----------------

From his castle room, now empty of all goblins for they had been sent to fight, Kurt watched in amusement as the X-men failed to realise that the western side of the city was empty. They were going to really kick themselves when they realised that little error. Probably after they'd finished battering Jean though.

He frowned as he noticed that Logan and Kitty were demolishing his ranks almost effortlessly, well, he could always have a little fun...

-----------------------

"Oh come on, that thing wasn't in the film." Kitty looked at the giant snarling one eyed goblin that looked suspiciously like the Greek mythological Cyclops of myths.

Logan grinned manically. "Too big a challenge for you?"

"For you, maybe." Kitty laughed and charged forward with a war cry, Logan close on her heels.

Ororo looked at the giant monster and decided to fry its skull with a lightning bolt. It went down with one blast and proceeded to crush the entire goblin army. That was a little too easy really. She landed on the ground and smiled at the dark looks the two resident maniacs were giving her. "I believe that's five hundred and seventy to me."

They continued to glower.

"This is not the time." The professor wheeled forward, the left tyre had gone flat so he kept on moving to the left and had to keep readjusting the wheelchairs path. He wound up facing the wrong way. "A little help?"

-------------------

They were in the castle – finally. Kurt glanced at the clock, they had five minutes to find the room he was in and to get John successfully. That was going to be some mean feat. After all, the room was built of staircases and platforms on all different levels of reality.

They were going to be quite surprised when they realised that they could be walking upside down or to the side in the room of staircases.

-----------------------

The fifth room was another empty one and this time, the X-men decided that since they were running out of time, they would just split up and open doors that way.

No one was more surprised when they all opened a door and walked into the same room from different levels and ways round. They all looked to the centre where Kurt stood holding the cousin in his arms.

"I'm glad you could all make it, though time is running short, ja?"

Scott's eyes widened. "You're the Goblin King, Kurt!"

Everyone looked at the man in spandex critically. Rogue decided to talk. "Err, didn't he just, ya know, show up an' tell ya?"

"No, he must have been trying to fool me at a later point into trusting him!"

"Nein, I just forgot about you."

"Oh." Scott looked down the regretted it when he realised that his down was actually Kurt's up.

"What's with ze spandex? I'm supposed to have ze ridiculously tight trousers." The blue mutant grinned and teleported. "Vell? You have to reach John before ze thirteenth chime."

There was a groan before everyone started running to reach the child, only to find themselves on a completely different flight of stairs each time. Kitty managed to bump into Kurt on the second chime.

"We need more time!"

"Vell, I could give you an extra minute for a kiss, fraulein." He flashed a fanged smile and flicked his tail around her waist.

Kitty raised her eyebrows before rolling her eyes and giving the mutant a kiss on the cheek.

"Ja!" The mutant jumped up and back flipped onto a lower level where he produced a clock and moved the minute hand back one minute. "Vell? Vhat are you vaiting for?"

Jean chewed her lip. "Aren't you supposed to give some spiel then I break your magic and have a happy ending?"

"Vhy? I'm happy if you just have your cousin and you're happy if you have him."

"Oh." The red head telekinetically lifted herself and floated over to the platform where John was sitting. She ignored the groans and even the death threat from Kitty that mentioned hairballs. "Ha!"

---------------------

Professor Xavier opened his eyes cautiously and smiled at the familiar surroundings of his bedroom. It had all just been some horrific dream, some twisted nightmare that was simply a combination of a strange movie, worry and too much popcorn.

He got himself ready and used the elevator to take him to the ground floor where he came across Logan trundling to the kitchen also for breakfast. They paused and looked at each other calculatingly.

"So Chuck, did you sleep well?"

"Very." Charles Xavier continued on into the kitchen were he frowned at the gathered X-men, Evan, Ororo, Rogue and Jean with her little cousin. Scott then entered looking a little edgy and mumbled something about danger room sessions sinking into his subconscious.

Everyone settled down for the usual breakfast chaos when Kitty entered, everyone stopped to look at the crew-cut that was all that remained of her once proud long hair. She looked back at them all coolly before sitting down.

Charles wondered if perhaps he had picked up on the subconscious of Kitty's mind last night and that was why the hair was a coincidence. Must have been, it was the only logical explanation.

Then Kurt walked in wearing a long loose, opened white shirt and tight black trousers. He smiled at them all with a fanged grin and then sat down where he started to eat. There was an uncomfortable silence except between Kitty and Kurt who kept grinning at one another.

"Jean?"

"Yes?" The red head replied carefully to Kurt, perhaps she had tapped into his sub consciousness about having a change of style.

"Can you explain to me vhy you never looked for ze other bridge?" He sat back and laughed at the waxen faces. "Or vhy you didn't go through ze empty half of ze city?"

"And why did you use your telekinetic abilities after I had kissed Kurt? Oh, and I still beat you Logan so -" Kitty stuck her tongue out.

"Well I beat the both of you." Storm grinned childishly and stuck her tongue out too.

"Jean?" Scott slid over towards her slightly, there was a nasty pong coming off him still. "Never, ever baby sit again, ok?"

"Yeah."

"And never, ever let Logan pick films again."

"Agreed." The entire table chorused, including Logan who leaned back and grinned.

"So, Elf, what was it like being a king?"

"Vell, I vas hoping for ze Elfin King post, Goblin is just so derogatory." He picked up Kitty and dropped her onto his lap. "But I vont complain vith my Goblin Queen." He paused. "There's just one thing."

"What?"

"It's..." A beat started up from somewhere, causing Kurt to jump to his feet, pulling kitty up with him. He grinned. "You remind me of the babe."

"What babe?" Kitty asked, surprised.

"The babe with the power."

"What power." She asked hesitantly.

"The power of the voodoo."

Goblins erupted from every hiding hole available. "Who do?"

"You do."

"Do what?" Kitty was grinning from ear to ear.

"Remind me of the babe." He hugged her and grinned, waiting again for his cue.

"Oh no!" She was twirled.

Kurt broke into song again. "I saw my baby,

Crying as hard as babe could cry

What could I do?

My baby's love had gone

And left my baby blue

Nobody knew

What kind of magic spell to use."

There was laughter amongst the goblins as they pulled everyone to their feet to dance. "Slime and snails."

"Or puppy dogs tails" Laughed Logan.

"Thunder or lightning." Ororo giggled.

"And baby said," Kurt pointed to John.

"Ga. Ga." The baby gurgled and clapped.

"Dance magic dance

Dance magic dance..."
