Chapter 10.…………

Xavier Institute…………..

Peitro and Jenny came running up to the institute gates. Both of them placing their hands on them at the same exact time. The two speed demons looked at each other and said, at the same time, "Damn-it.-Tied-again."

Then before they could run again, they heard a short groan near by. The two looked at each other before Peitro stepped over to the bushes and peered around them. He was then knocked speechless at what he saw.

Jenny stepped forward and looked over Peitro's shoulder. She gasped and asked, "Who-is-that?"

Peitro quickly kneeled down and deftly picked the other person up. He then said, "He-is-my-nemesis,-Evan-Daniels.-He-used-to-be-a-member-of-the-X-Geeks." With that He ran up to the Mansion.

Jenny shook her head and thought 'For a supposed nemesis, he sure cares a lot about that boy.' She then followed.

Moments later………

Beast is walking through the main entrance when the front door slammed open and Peitro appeared with Evan in his arms. When Peitro saw McCoy, he ran in front of him and thrust Evan into Hank's hands and said, "Evan's-hurt-make-him-better."

Hank was shocked at first but then the Doctor part of him took over and he bounded towards the lower levels. As he did he 'pathed to Xavier, Charles, Evan has been seriously injured. I'm taking him to the Med lab. Please inform Ororo about her Nephew.

Xavier nodded. He then turned to the other person in the office, and said, "Ororo, I have some bad news."

Storm looked at the Professor in worry. She then asked, "What is it Charles?"

A sad look came over Xavier's face. He then said, "Hank just informed me that, Evan was just brought in with some very serious injuries."

Storm's eyes grew big then she quickly stood and ran out of the room. Xavier sighed then 'pathed, Logan, Scott, Jean, I need you to gather the X-Men and X-Factor. Please have them gather in the War Room. I will join you there soon.

Around the Mansion, Logan nodded and exited the Danger Room. Jean and Scot acknowledged the summons, and exited Jean's bedroom.

War Room short time later………

Xavier rolled into the War Room and looked around. In the room was the X-Men; Cyclops, Jean, Wolverine, Banshee, Rogue, Gambit, Nightcrawler, Colussus, Iceman. X-Factor; Minx, Skye, Lightspeed, Meltdown, Shocker, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch. The New Mutants; Boom-Boom, Multiple, Magma, Sunspot, Cannonball, Berzerker, Siryn, Jubilee, Husk, Skin, and Wolfsbane. Plus Havok, Polaris.

Xavier rolled to the end of the table and began speaking. "Evan has been severely injured. I do not know who done the deed, but I fear that the Morlocks may have also been attacked. I want the X-Men and X-Factor to go down into the sewers and find out what happened. I want the New Mutants, along with Alex and Lorna, to remain and be ready in case of any casualties."

Everybody in the room was sobered and nodded. They then filed out of the room.

Xavier looked up and saw that Logan had remained. Logan looked at him and, asked, "He was there wasn't he?"

Xavier nodded. He then said, "He was. He was the one that put a spike through Evan's shoulder. Also He left a message. He said that this was only the beginning."

Logan looked at Xavier for another couple of minutes then turned and left the room.

Short time later…….. Bayville Sewers……..

When they arrived at the sewers, Quicksilver and Lightspeed was sent in to scout the area first. After only a few minutes Lightspeed came back, but without Quicksilver.

Minx looked at her friend and asked, "Where's Peitro at?"

Jenny looked down at her feet and then sadly said, "Back there." With that she collapsed onto her butt and tears started to stream down her face. April was shocked and kneeled and tried to comfort her.

Scott shook his head and then said, "Kurt, you and Piotr stay and keep a eye on these two. Everyone else follow me."

It was only a few minutes later that they found Peitro. They found him standing in the middle of the tunnel and staring into the Morlocks Ally. When they finally got a look, they all were saddened and sickened at what they saw. There blood everywhere, and bodies laying all over.

Logan walked further and sniffed. He then growled, "Sabretooth was here. Part of this is his doing."

Before they could move they heard a grating sound, as of stone on stone. They all were surprised when ten people emerged from a hidden room.

Five hours later…………… Institute……..

Scott, Jean , and Willow sat in Xavier's office. Scott said , "Callisto, Torpid, Angel Dust, Artie, Leech, Masque, Vessel, Sunder, Tommy, and Scaleface. Were the only ones we were able to find. Others may have escaped but." He trailed off and shrugged.

Xavier nodded and looked at Willow. He then asked, "How is Peitro and Jenny?"

Willow shrugged and said, "They'll be ok. But both are still shocked."

Egypt……… Apocalypse's Hidden base……….

The Horseman known as Famine was working to get the base up and running. He turned and looked up when he felt a mutant walk into the room. He then asked in a dry raspy voice, "What are you doing here?"

The figure smirked. He then twirled the bone staff he had previously taken from Spyke. After a moment he said, "I'm just here to see how everything is going. Caliban."
