Read, review, and enjoy!  If anyone has any ideas they'd like to see feel free to suggest them to me…I can't guarantee that they will appear but  it would be nice to have more ideas…I'm kinda running low.

Chapter 11

***Outside With Team 2: Cyclops, Jean, and Wolverine***

            Jean sighed to herself while she looked at the large patch of lawn before her.  It was coated with dandelions and she had to pull them all herself.  She couldn't ask Cyclops to help her, he'd probably attack her again if she mentioned hurting the weeds.  Also she didn't wanted to encourage him adding more to his already gigantic pile of dandelions.  She hadn't a clue of what he was planning to do with them but she knew she didn't want to promote it.  She looked at Cyclops and watched worriedly as he arranged his collected pile into rows like it was some sort of army.  Jean thought that maybe she could ask Wolverine; surely he'd be more then glad to help her.  He'd probably even be flattered that she would pick him over Cyclops.  She turned to the direction Wolverine should be in and gasped.

            Wolverine turned and admired his handiwork.  Not a single dandelion, or their roots, was left in the lawn, unfortunately there was also no grass either.

            ~* Oh well, at least I got rid of the weeds.  They wont be coming back any time soon. *~

            Wolverine was a little sad that his work was done.  He had actually enjoyed massacring the defenseless puffs.  Deciding to help someone else he scanned the area.  Jean was the first person he saw and she had plenty of work to do, but she didn't approve of his method so despite his urge to go help her Wolverine looked on.  He spotted an unweeded patch in the distance and decided it would be perfect.

            ~* OK, once I prepare them for battle we'll start the attacks.  First they need to be lined up in proper order.  Then I'll need to give them some training.  They have to learn how to attack and how to defend and I'll have to see if any of them show any special abilities.  I also need to appoint commanders.  After that's all done we'll be able to conduct a test attack so I can see if they are ready for a full-fledged attack.  The test will show me who is too week for battle and if there are any things I've forgotten to teach them.  I think Wolverine would be a good person for a test attack but if we use him I'll be need more soldiers.  Jean has lots in captivity…I could use her as the test and free those that she wants to kill.  She'd cause a lot less casualties.  It'd be more then worth it with the numbers I'll gain. *~

            Cyclops watched the flowers for a while and discussed battled tactics and such with them.  He was quite please at how, unlike the X-Men, the dandelions never questioned his authority and didn't interrupt him.

            "Alright troops, I believe you are ready."  Cyclops stood in front of his dandelion army pacing across the front line.  "Be careful, this is your first battle and you have yet to experience anything like this.  Your enemy will show you no mercy.  You must be ruthless.  Some here may not return from this but we will be gaining much more and it will be well worth the price.  Don't falter!  Be confident!  We will prevail!"
