Bobby stretched and eyed Hank as he levered himself up.
"So what's the word, Doc?"
Hank McCoy, turned and regarded his teammate.
"The word, Bobby, is felicitous."
At bobby's confused expression, Hank laughed.
"Come on, Doc, English."
"Very well, Bobby, you have recovered as much as you are going to right now. Your body seems to be undergoing an ongoing mutation but it is stable. You may go with the others-"
"Woohooo, Roller Coasters, here I come!"
"-if you take this medicine three times a day. And come and see me here at the end of the day for more tests!"
"Aw, Doc, you can ruin anything!"
"Thank you."

In limbo's dark realm a shadowy form rose from the ruins and shrieked a scream that made the very fabric of the realm shudder.
"Murphios! My son!"
The red and black figure strode out and shot a red beam out of his hand, at the end of which Belasco apperceived, seeming irritated. When Belasco saw who it was he paled and started to vanish but the couldn't.
"You did this with your machinations! You allowed My son to die!"
"No, My Lord Mephisto! "
Mephisto raised his hand and gestured and Belasco was shattered into a thousand brilliant lights.
Mephisto strode away, vanishing swiftly.

Harry glanced up and shuddered.
He could feel the chaos of the atmosphere growing.
A new menace had entered the field.
Agatha caught his eye and nodded.
She must have sensed it as well.
Meanwhile the Shadow King writhed in Mephisto's grip, his screams flooding the astral plane.
Mephisto shook the insubstantial being.
"Your petty games have cost Me my son, Tomas, Abdul, Valdemarde', whatever you call yourself now, you will regret this!"
He hurled the creature from him into the small form of a rat.
"You will reside there and serve me or you will discover the meaning of pain."
The rat whimpered.

Logan moved around the group watching the kids and team getting ready.
When all was ready he led the team in through the gates and watched them split up into teams and head out into the park.
He shook his head as he corralled his group and led them towards one of the new rides to get in line.
He stepped wrong and one leg suddenly went the wrong way, slipping and bringing him down , which caused Dom to fall back into Sam, Sam into Dani, Dani into Rogue, Rogue into Kurt, and Kurt to fall into a large mud puddle.

Kurt sighed and shrugged and started to get back up again, slipped on a small rat and managed to bat a drink out of someone's hands and right into the face of one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen.
He gaped for a second and then scrambled up and apologized furiously.
He helped his friends get back up, and turned to apologize again, but the woman was gone.
Kurt sighed and slumped his shoulders.
That was lately his luck with women.
The others gathered around and they all went off to get in line for the ride they wanted.

Scott's group encountered a few messes but seemed trouble free, until they stopped for lunch.
They got into the restaurant called The Tea Cup, and had fun with the kids and were all tired but still excited.
Scott stole a few moments to kiss and snuggle Jean but everytime things got hot a kid would interrupt so they finally gave it up.
They stepped outside to encounter three people they really didnt want to see. Pyro, Quicksilver, and Avalanche.
The boys all seemed just as startled as Jean and Scott were. and Both sides froze then backed away slowly.
Scott sighed.

Logan had handed off his charges to Ororo and was wandering with a smaller group including Alex, Lorna, Betsy, Warren, and Gene.
They were talking idly, whiling away a few hours on their own, and avoiding the field trip experience.
They came around a corner to confront Sabretooth, Toad, and Tigershark, dressed as tourists.
The two groups gaped at one another for about thirty seconds before Sabretooth and Wolverine both charged.
Toad and Havok exchanged long-suffering glances and then looked startled.
Tigershark looked like he would attack until Dis disintegrated some of the ground at Tigershark's feet, causing him to rethink that.

The mini-jetship had had lots of turbulence and had landed in New York two hours late.
Agatha, Harry, and Sean had wasted valuable time checking out the X-Mansion before finding a note of where the Field Trip had gone.
They packed up and set out for Disneyland, hoping they were not too late.
Even as they flew they hit snags the engines seeming to lag and the sky itself seeming to slow or fade.
Agatha and Harry said something about evil spells altering time, but Sean concentrated on keeping them in the sky.
They continued on as fast as the ship could fly.

Mephisto's gaze was on the screen on his desk.
He sat upon his throne and watched all that happenned in the mortal realm but right now he concentrated on the menace of those he would punish for his son's death.
His rage yet seethed and roiled and his realm showed the effect as thunder and lightning split the land.
Those puny mortals called X-men had dared to kill his son.
And they would pay.
His glare made the whole building shake as he directed his forces to send the agent through against the X-men.
Now he would see what they were made of.
10
Warren and Rogue were off on their own, having given their teachers and their fellow students the slip for awhile.
Together they had wandered the amusement park, riding a couple rides but mostly talking and enjoying each other's company.
They began to feel something powerful build between them and within them.
They were both young and felt like their lives were so vast, but also felt this was something they would be fools to let slip.
A gateway of glittering red energy opened up and a giant green creature like a dinosaur on steroids emerged.
Warren took one look at the creature and cursed.
11
Sean brought the jetship in for a landing, and he Agatha and Harry all darted out at a run.
They entered the Terminal and proceeded through checking as fast as possible and got their equipment quickly.
They got to the middle of the terminal when in front of their disbelieving eyes two giant glowing eyes appeared.
Harry felt his scar burn and knew it was his old enemy
He pulled out his wand as a rip opened and out fell a cat-sized package.
Sean approached it and then his eyes opened and he grabbed Harry and ran.
Thirty seconds later the airport terminal exploded.
12
Scott had rendezvoused with most of the groups in the main section of he park, and led them off to watch a show.
Logan stopped for a cigarette, and watched the others file in.
The ground started to shake and he saw a gap open in the ground as gas spewed high above his head.
He saw Scott leading the others. Logan started forward even as the tremors increased.
Scott glanced back and took one desperate lunge and tossed something up.
Logan caught the young girl, a Jubilation Lee by name as with an awful shriek, the hall vanished beneath the ground.
To Be Continued...
