Disclaimer: X-Men:Evolution and all associated characters are owned by Marvel Comics and Kids' WB! This is a work of fiction not intended in any way to make money (however, if anyone working on XM:E reads this and actually wants to use it, I do have college student loans to pay off).
Author's Note: Heheheh... guess what? I write before the first chapter that it takes place current season, but with the school in use again, and this morning's episode has them back at the school again... Don't know how many of the students are back though... didn't see Rahne or J, but Sam & Bobby are there still (hehehe... Hank and Bobby are pals in XM:E, too).
Might and Magik- Chapter 2
"What took you so long, Nightcrawler?" Cyclops asks his teammate. Nightcrawler shrugs. "Aren't you going to give me an answer?" the leader demands, bearing down on the blue mutant.
"I was hungry, alright? I had to eat something. Can't teleport on an empty stomach, you know," Kurt retorts.
Cyclops scowls at the boy, but simply turns to the rest of the group. "Let's go, peoples."
The mutants perform flawlessly in their programmed simulation. Suddenly, a saw pops out of the wall behind Nightcrawler. He teleports out of the way, and the others wait for him to teleport back.
The only problem is, he doesn't.
Kurt is confused when he appears in the other dimension, and doesn't go back to his own. "What's going on?" he exclaims.
"I have cast a spell to keep you here," a female voice tells him.
Kurt looks over and sees a young woman, in a torn dress, holding an ornate sword. "Why have you done this?" he asks her.
"I have been trapped in this demon realm for seven years. I intend to leave. And if you will not take me, you will never leave either."
"But..." Kurt begins. "Why are you here? I've fought creatures from this place before, and they were evil. How do I know you weren't put here because you're evil."
The girl looks down at her sword. "I've been here so long, I don't know what good and evil are anymore. I suppose that this sword, and the powers it represents would be considered evil. But that is something I must deal with every day of my life. I was kidnapped against my will when I was a child, and now I attend to escape. Are you going to help me, or not?"
Kurt looks at her sword, and her torn clothing. "Daa... I suppose that I don't have a choice, do I?" He holds his hand out to her, and she places hers in his. Then they both disappear.
