That's What It's All About

A Walk Through The Park

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. Jubilee
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jubilee slowly awoke to a strange sight. Although she had a good idea where she was, it was still a strange sight. Part of it was the fact that she was standing in a capsule like object suspended in the air. Another was the fact that it was over a pit. She couldn't see what was in the pit, but something was in it. What made things ever worse was the fact that her legs were locked in place, and her hands were also locked in place. At least what ever was on her head was now gone. However she wished she still had her eyes closed. She was looking straight at the fat form of Mojo. She was almost teriffied, and that terror grew when she heard Mojo say, "Well, it has been a while Jubilee. I do miss the ratings your friends, the X-Men, brought in. In fact, your friends are about to bring me in more ratings, and that may be for years to come."

Jubilee struggled to break free, but couldn't. She looked at the bloated blob and said, "Yea right. They won't sell their souls over to you." At least, she hoped they wouldn't.

She didn't like how wide Mojo's grin got. "True, but if they die and I bring them back to life with little nanobots, they can't leave. Isn't technology wonderful, but unfortunately you don't have that technology." He had a point. Earth wasn't as advanced as other planets, and Mojo would do anything to keep start attractions.

Jubilee looked at him and said, "They won't do anything for your amusement. Not even if it would mean death to them." She knew her friends. They would find a way around anything to prevent any loss.

Again, the smile on his face got wider. She really didn't like that. "They really don't have much choice, at least if they hope to see one of their friends again." That meant he didn't just capture her. She figured no one realized she was missing, but they might pick up on something being odd, but what he said meant he had captured someone. She hoped it wasn't Everett.

Finally, she heard a voice behind her said, "My head, where am I?" She knew who Mojo had captured. He had captured Rich, and knowing Penny, Penny wouldn't stop until Rich was free.

She saw Mojo smile and say, "Well, our guest and entertainment provider is now awake. I'll make my introductions to him now." She watched as he started around the metal walkway that was around the room.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Mojo
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He knew this boy had potential, but something told Mojo that the boy was head strong. However the same device that he had Spiral use on Jubilee, gave him access to some good ideas for these Gen X kids to go through. As he made his way around the room, he heard Jubilee say, "Rich, you're not going to like this."

He listened as the boy said, "Jubilee, I thought it was the real you. Is this related to the imposter that's at the school?" He wondered how the boy picked up on Abcissa. Abcissa and Jubilee looked identical, but they were one in the same.

He listened as Jubilee said, "It has everything to do with her. She's not really an imposter, but like ..." Mojo could hear how she was trying to find the right word.

Just before he would enter view of the boy called Rich, he heard him say, "Jubilee, what are you trying to say?" He heard a slight gasp, and he smiled a bit. "Jubilee, how much trouble are we in?"

Mojo continued to walk into view and face the boy. "You're in a lot of trouble, but I'm a fair being. I'm giving you the option of saving your friends." He could see the shock on the boy's face. He then said, "At least allow me to introduce myself. I'm Mojo, intergalactic showman extrodinaire."

He watched as the boy blinked and then frowned. "And a prime canidate for Richard Simmon's Sweating to the Oldies." Mojo almost let an angry look cross his face. He wanted to hurt this boy now, but that wouldn't fit with his plans.

Mojo then heard Jubilee go, "Rich, isn't that kind of mean to do to Richard Simmons?" He could tell by her tone that this Simmons guy was not well liked.

He watched as Rich said, "Strange, I was starting to feel pity for this Mojo character if he was in that situation." He saw that Rich was still frowning as he then said, "Now, why are we here, and where are our friends?"

Mojo could tell that the boy was not in a good mood, and something in his voice showed more concern than normal. "Oh, they are ok, for now, and free to go back, that is if you're willing to stay. And that goes for you too, Jubilee. Abcissa needs a stunt double."

He heard Rich say, "Tell me Mojo, are those wires into your scalp to make you think, because if you think we are going to willingly had our lives over to you, you are out of your head."

He just smiled. "No, I was betting you wouldn't. Deep down, I think Abcissa was hoping Jubilee wouldn't agree either. Since you picked up on her, I might as well tell you that Abcissa is a version of Jubilee who agreed to serve me. However, my ratings have not gone as bad to stoop to the ultimate ratings tactics with her."

He heard Jubilee shout out, "Thank God."

Mojo dismissed Jubilee's statement and then said, "Now if your friends can survive, you all can go free."

He watched as an angry look crossed Rich's face. "What do you mean by that?"

Mojo smiled even more, "Well, in order to get here, they are going to have to survive a few movies you've seen. That little helmet on your head has transfered information about those movies into our systems here. Not only that, but if your friends die, they will be revived and forced to stay with me."

He had one more surprise, and wanted Rich to find out about that surprise at the right time. He noticed that Rich looked at him and said, "And what is preventing us from breaking free of this prison and stopping you from doing this."

Mojo turned on two monitors, one facing Jubilee, and one facing Rich. "That is what is keeping you from breaking free." He saw the fear in the boy's face. "Now, if you're lucky, you won't have to meet that face to... well, not the right term, but I'm sure you know what I mean. Now, I have a show to start." He turned and walked out a nearby door. Now he had to wake up the rest of the group called Generation X.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. Daria
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Daria awoke with a splitting headache. What ever had happened at the test had hit her the worse. As she looked around the room, she saw all her teammates, and her teachers, unconscious. Then she took another head count, one was missing. Richard was missing. She ran over to Mondo first, to try and wake her boyfriend. "Mondo, wake up. I think we're in trouble."

It didn't take long until Mondo openned his eyes. In his eyes, she could see the gentle man he was. "Daria, what happened? Last thing I remember was the test, and all of a sudden, I was out."

She noticed the several of the others had started to wake up. She even heard Sean say, "Aye lad, ye weren't the only one to pass out. Anyone know what might of happened."

She heard Jubilee say, "I don't know, but I felt someone crack me in the back of my head, and next thing I know, I'm in here."

She then heard Jono say, "Well, we aren't at the school anymore. I think we might be in trouble."

She heard Emma say, "Now all we need to know is where Rich is, who captured us, and why?"

She saw Darrett get up and say, "Well, I see an open door, but what is on the other side doesn't look like this room." She glanced out the open door in the room and saw a big foyer like area. Darrett was right. It looked nothing like this room, but it looked familiar to her.

She was startled as a voice boomed in the room and said, "That is correct. That room is nothing like this room, but then, that's what makes the show what it is." She turned to face a screen with a hideous smiling face on it, with wires coming out of it's head.

She heard her teacher go, "Mojo. I was hoping never to see yur ugly mug again." She also noticed that everyone was in shock. They had never seen this being before, well all except for Jubilee. She didn't see to be in shock.

She saw the smiling face look at Sean and say, "Well, well, well, Banshee. This should be interesting how you can direct these kids through five deadly movies."

Daria then heard Jubilee say, "If you think we are going to risk our lives for you Mojo, you're nuts." She heard other students agree as they came out of shock.

The smiling face continued to smile and said, "Oh, does that mean you don't want your prize if you can do it in 5 hours." She saw the screen change and saw figure being held in some device, frozen with fear.

She realized who it was just as Yvette realized it. "Richard. If you hurt him at all, Mojo, I'll make you sorry you ever brought us here." She watched as the screen shifted back and Mojo was still smiling.

"Ah, now I see why he was so concerned about you all. He has someone special to him." She watched as Mojo laughed and said, "Well then, you better get moving. There is only one way out of that room, and once you leave, the clock starts. I hope you make this interesting." The screen changed to a counter as Mojo's face disappeared.

As she looked out into the hallway, she heard Clarice say, "That guy has a few screws loose." She had to agree, but now she wanted to know why that room looked so familiar.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IV. Sean
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sean could not believe the trouble they were all in. Mojo was not one to play with a full deck. If anything, he didn't want any of the kids to face anything like Mojo. He knew that Jubilee had dealt with Mojo before, but this was different. Now, if he didn't have the team enter whatever Mojo had planned, they might lose Rich. If they did, they might lose Rich and a few of the team. Either way, it didn't look good. As he tried to figure out the best plan of action, he heard Yvette say, "Banshee, we have to save my husband. We have to save Skitz."

Sean nodded and said, "I know, Penance, but we need to figure out what we are going up against. Mojo told us that our time doesn't start until we enter that room. I'd like to know what that room is."

He head Daria say, "It looks familiar, like it's from a movie." That was when Sean remembered what Mojo said.

He looked at everyone and said, "That's it. This is a movie, but here the movies will kill us. And knowing a bit about Mojo, he will do anything to keep a money maker. Unless...."

He heard Emma say, "He has taken precautions to reanimate us. Something to ensure we stay here."

Sean didn't like the sound of that. If they made one mistake, they were stuck. As he looked out onto the room, he said, "Now, what movie is this from, and where is he getting the movie ideas?"

He watched as Yvette peared out the room and said, "This is the visitor's center from Jurassic Park. No doubt we have to make our way to the refrigerator in the kitchen. And our best bet would be the ceiling."

Sean looked at his adopted daughter and asked, "Why do ye say that, Penance?"

He watched as she pointed in one direction. "That's why."

He and the others looked as she was pointing at mural. On it was various dinosaurs. At first he didn't see what she was pointing at, and then he noticed it. It looked like an eye blinked. Then Synch said, "A Raptor. Do you think it's alone?"

Sean then remember the movie. "Nae, there are probably others around. So the ceiling would be our best bet. Look for a vent."

He then heard Daria say, "Banshee, I can fly out and find one, and try and get each one of us up to it." Sean had to agree, it might be the best bet. He watched as she flew out the door. He noticed that the raptor they all had seen still hadn't moved. He hoped that they wouldn't enter the small room.

He then heard Darrett say, "You better tell Daria to move fast. Look." He turned and saw what Darrett meant. The timer had started to count down. The race had begun.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
V. Angelo
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Angelo watched as the counter had hit 4 hours and 55 minutes. It was taking Daria a long time to get to the vent. Soon he saw her flying not to far from the door with a grim look. He looked out the door and said, "Let me guess, no vent." When she nodded, he said, "Well, I guess that leaves no place to go but into ambush country."

He was amazed abit at how well Daria could control her flying ability. She looked over at the raptor and then said, "Our fan is still there, but I can't shake the feeling he's not alone."

Angelo then saw Everett thinking, and soon enough, his friend said, "Banshee, I have an idea. Daria, can you lift Banshee and myself to the center of the room."

When she looked around and smiled, she said, "I think I know what you have planned, Synch."

Angelo was even more surprised when Sean said, "It might work. Let's give it a try." He watched as Daria lifted the two to the dead center of the room. He noticed that the raptor had started to watch them. That was when the two started to yell. Angelo covered his ears, and watched as the raptor fell down. He thought he heard two more thuds. Soon, the audio assult stopped, and Sean said, "Ye were right lad. Everybody, let's hurry."

He followed as everyone ran out the door. When they were all in the lobby, Yvette said, "Everyone, this way. Skitz and I have seen the movie enough times to have a very good idea of where everything is."

As they all ran up the steps, following Penance, he glanced down at the downed trio of dinos. He didn't like what he saw. He just said, "Synch, Banshee, I don't think you had your yells on a long enough of a stun." The raptors were starting to get up, and noticed that all of them were way above them.

He watched as Penance ran in a door, and everyone just followed. He was last in the door and closed it and locked it. Soon enough, Everett and Jubilee put a table by the door and they all continued to the back. He heard Jubilee say, "That might not hold for long."

As he followed, he heard a crash at the door. He turned to see the door was still closed, but the table was on it's side. Had the crash knocked the table over? That had to be the answer, but he wasn't about to find out. He ran into the kitchen area and said, "Better find the exit fast. Those raptors are ready to come in for their dinner."

He watched as Emma said, "Don't worry, Skin. Penance just openned the door to the fridge, and it leads to another of Mojo's waiting rooms. I think we have survived this round." He watched as everyone started to enter the room. The second crash seem to speed everyone up.

Angelo used his skin on the handle and ran toward the door. As he entered, the raptors entered the kitchen at a full run. He quickly yanked on the handle, snapping the door closed and said, "Bye bye, lizards." When the door closed, he turned and said, "Ok, what's next?"
