"Gear up team," Scott Summers known as Cyclops ordered. They all complied and got on the Blackbird. Everyone on this mission are consists of the Cyclops, Storm, Xavier, Wolverine, Cannonball, Colossus, Shadowcat, Sunspot, Rogue, Gambit, Psylocke, Iceman, Beast, Polaris, and Havok.

The teams were divided into four groups with four members to each groups, beside one group, which will only consist of three members. Xavier, Psylocke, and Beast are together, they were to search for Emma Frost and try to stop her with the Professor's help. Team two consists of Storm, Cannonball Sunspot and Cyclops, they were to secure the south side of the square and make sure no bystanders get hurt.

Team three were consists of Colossus, Shadowcat, Havok and Polaris. They were to break into the Hellfire Club and rescue their captured teammates, with the help of an unknown telepath that no one on the team knows but Charles Xavier. The team suspected that it was Jean Grey, but the voice they heard was not her, instead it was from another woman.

Team four were made of Rogue, Gambit, Wolverine, and Iceman, they were to stay low and make sure the bad guys wouldn't make a move, and if they did, call in the rest of the team and move in for the kill. At first, Bobby was suppose to go with Colossus's team. But he got too whiney, so Cyclops allowed him to join in with Wolverine. There is something wrong with the young man, everyone knew so, but Charles wasn't able to read his head to see what's wrong. He has a strong mental shield around his head, the Professor discuss it with Cyclops, Beast, and Storm, he believed that Iceman mutation had evoloved, but his behavior... Charles isn't so sure.

It could be because of his relationship with Rogue, the possibility of his mutations evolving, or he just reached the annoying stage. He's gets on everyone's nerves for at least 24 hours now. He stalk everyone in the mansion and asked many questions about Rogue. When the Southern belle found out, she freaked, and that happen ever since Rogue woke up from the coma.

No one really told Bobby anything, all of Rogue's friends tried to avoid him, he knew that Rogue and Logan are in a fight, which is something good to him. All Bobby needs to do is to get rid of Gambit. Then, his plan will be finish. What is this guy is up to? No body knows.

The sun was beginning to set, Manhatten was filled with people, many of which hated mutants. It seem, they were all here because of Sebastian Shaw, who was at this moment greeting the most respected and powerful people with his two favorite women. Tessa and Selene.

Emma Frost is keeping a wary eye out for anything suspious. Her eyes kept following Tessa. Emma telepathic may be stronger than Tessa, but she know how to keep her mind out of things. She trust the woman, but she always get this feelings that Tessa is up to something. The only person Emma didn't trust was Betsy Braddock, the girl was trouble from the start. She was right too. Emma kept her eyes on Tessa, not knowing that uninvited guests were here as well.

Let Shadowcat phrase into the room, she can deactiviate the sercurity system and open the door, Shadowcat, Colossus, Havok, and Polaris all heard the directions in their heads. Then Polaris can use her power to break the metal barrier down. When you're there, there will be some guards that may be a bit difficult to defeat. So, becareful, my friends. Your friends can be found there if you make it out before the moon comes out.

"Thank you, Sage," Shadowcat said, not knowing what to call the mysterious woman, Kitty call her Sage, a person of knowledge.

Shadowcat and her team begin to follow Sage's orders. They made it in successfully. Until they got to the last order. The room with the guard that may be difficult to beat, and where their teammates are being held. Shadowcat disabled their computer system when she phrase through them. When Colossus transform into his organic steel form, he can take down an army and stop a rapidly speeding train. Havok used his plasma beam that came out of his hand to take down the Hellfire men. Once that was done, Polaris used her ability to control metal to chain the guards up, almost killing them. If Havok didn't stop her, she properly would of.

"Thanks Alex," Polaris said.

"Don't mention it," Havok replied, "and remember, we shouldn't use our real name when we're on missions, okay?"

"Okay," Polaris answered.

"Would you two love birds shut up and let get this thing open?" Shadowcat scolded.

"Sorry," Havok apologized, "but couldn't you just phrase through it?"

"Yes, if I want to kill the people inside," Kitty replied. "Including me."

"How do you know this anyway?" Polaris asked, Havok and Colossus wondering the same.

"Sage told me in private," Kitty growled quietly.

"Why didn't she told us about it?" Havok begin.

"Be quiet, comrade, let Kayta concentrate," Colossus shushed Havok.

Shadowcat smiled, "thanks Peter."

It took Shadowcat three mintues to open to door. If it wasn't for Sage's directions, Shadowcat would of open the door within an hour in a half, even with her skills. The team made it inside, to fine the room... empty.

"She lied to us!" Polaris growled as the steel wall begin to shake.

"Lorna!" Havok shout, trying to calm his teammate down as best as he can. "I believe we are late."

"No, the moon doesn't come out for at least 30 mintues," Colossus stated.

"Professor, can you hear me?" Shadowcat asked out loud.

Yes, I can head you Shadowcat. What's wrong? Charled asked telepathically.

They are not here! Professor, what are we going to do? Shadowcat asked.

Hold on Kitty... A couple of seconds later, Charles returned, Kitty, you must get the others out of there! There's a hidden bomb inside that room!

"We must get out of here, NOW! Take those bodies with you!" Shadowcat ordered, "Professor just told me there's a bomb in here!"

"WHAT!" Polaris shouted, "we need to get those dumb people out?"

"YES!" Shadowcat growled.

"We must go now comrades," Colossus cutted in carrying some bodies with him, "before it's too late."

Polaris was about to argued until Havok put one of his hand on her shoulder, "FINE!"

Instead of running like little mouse, she made four orbs out of the metal walls. The orbs opened up, in goes Shadowcat, Colossus, Havok, and herself. The guys are carrying the bodies. Polaris directed the orbs to get out as soon as possible.

The four changed their route along the way. Somehow, they manage to end up in the dumbster where Bobby took Rogue a couple of nights before.

"SHUT UP!" Rogue shout out. Iceman was following her everywhere when he was suppose to stand at one corner and keep an eye on thing.

Wolverine and Gambit were also annoying the hell out of each other as well.

"I don't trust yer, Gumbo," Wolverine injected for the forty-seven times.

"Gambit didn' as yo' t'trust 'im," Gambit growled for the the hundredth times. "He only ask f'r Roguey t'love 'im."

Wolverine rolled his eyes, "What ever you say bub, but if you hurt her..."

"Remy kno'! Yo' told 'im dat more t'an once! An' Remy would never do anyt'ing t'hurt Rogue. Yo' should tell Frosty over t'ere." Remy suggested, pointing to an annoying Iceman and annoyed Rogue.

Wolverine snarl and stayed quiet afterward. He fasten his pace to catch up to Rogue and Bobby. Once there, he picked up the young man by the collard, surprising both Rogue and Remy. "Yer not Drake, who are you? Talk!"

Bobby smirked and transformed to 'his' real self. It was none other than Mystique. Just as Wolverine was about to slice her throat she threaten, "If you hurt me, your Iceman would be killed by his old X-Men best friend, Pyro."

"What do yah want from me?" Rogue asked while ignoring Logan's eyes. Remy caught up with them and look at Mystique. "And where is Bobby?"

Before Mystique could say a word, a group of mutants arrived. The three X-Men does not recognize these people but the blue elf. Nightcrawler. The girl with auburn hair and scarlet uniform moved her hands around and everything near Wolverine start to levitate.

"Let her go," the young woman growled darkly.

"Or what?" Wolverine warned.

Before they knew it, Rogue was gone. Gambit was too busy looking at all those sexy people that he forgotten about his friends. Not his fault. There might be a Mastermind somewhere around here doing this to him. Since he was at a dumbster one minutes and at a strip club the next?

Logan look for Rogue after she have disappeared from his sight. There she was, with the young man who was wearing a white and blue uniform, his hair was white. He snarled. "Let her go, bub!"

The young man smirked, "Or what? You're going to stab me with your claws?."

"Listen," The young girl in red cutted in, "Let's trade. Mystique for that girl my idiot brother is holding.."

Wolverine thought about it, while his mind was elsewhere, the mind control mutant took over his mind. Unlocking Wolverine's Weapon X's days that he tried so hard to forget. Mastermind made Wolverine believe that Gambit was Sabretooth and that they were duking it out.

Mystique was freed. She glared at Wolverine and ordered Mastermind to kill off the two X-Men. Unlike the Jason in the damp, where his father and the X-Men left to die. Jason is now known as Mastermind, the Brotherhood did a last minute rescuring as well as clean him up. Now, Jason can walk and talk.

Wolverine tried to get a grip on his thoughts. This is wrong, he knows it. He can't be in the middle of nowhere and then here, in a place he wanted so badly to forget. Someone must be doing this to my mind...

Remy LeBeau on the other hand, the only thing he could think of was, Kill Julien, because that Cajun always messes with his fun. But that can't be true. Julien is suppose to be dead. Remy killed the man with his own two hands.

In this illusion, Wolverine was Julien and Gambit was Sabretooth. They hated each other. So much anger. This only means one thing. Blood.

Emma notice a bald headed man in wheelchair, Time for me to talk to Sebastian

Emma glance at Tessa and notice that there is no expression on her face, Think you can hide something from me? Think again, traitor.

"What's wrong, Emma?" Sebastian asked after noticing her frustrating look.

"Your precious Tessa here is a traitor!" Emma blurted out, unlike her usual self, where she would just blackmail them into getting what she want.

Sebastian look at his second love, "Is that true, Tessa?"

"Is it, Sebastian?" Tessa asked, "Why would I betray you? My place here is with you."

"See Emma, Tessa is on our side, stop trying to get my attention. It won't work." Sebastian laughed. After a couple of minutes, when everyone were seated. He stood up and smiled to the crowed, his most welcoming and best smile. "I am very grateful that you have made time for me to announce what it is that is so important. The thing is, I will conquer and no one can do anything to stop it."

The crowd let out a fearful gasp. Before they could even get off of their seat and fun, Hellfire Club officers were pointing their guns to those who tried to escaped.

"Now, would you kindly let me continue. I will spare those who believes in my dream. For those who don't, there will be nothing of them left for you to miss or even notice." Shaw smirked. "Let me introduce my guinea bigs. Two X-Men."

The X-Men down below watched with interest. Before their eyes, Jubilee and Bisop were rosed from the ground. Chained on a large circular metal object. Bishop and Jubilee begin to open their eyes to see a crowd of faces. Angry, suprised, grateful, fearful, and familar faces.

"Professor?" Jubilee whispered quitely seeing a bald man far far from here.

Emma walked up to the young Asian girl, "See, there is someone here whom she is familar with. This is all Tessa's doing!"

"Don't be so foolish Emma." Sebastian glared at her.

"You were always easy fool, Shaw." Sebastian turn around to see that it was Tessa who is pointing a gun at him.

"Are you that clumsy, Tessa?" Sebastian asked, "everything you hit me with, will only make me stronger."

"Don't you remember I forget nothing? This won't won't make you stronger it will disable your enchanched abilities," Tessa smirked, "and the name is Sage. Surrender now."

Selene begin to circle Tessa, "and to though, I considered you as a friend. I should kill you for betraying us."

"Not tonight, Selene," Tessa replied as an optmic blast hit Selene, senting her flying. Cannonball, Storm, Sunspot, and Beast hurried to the sense to make sure that Sage and the others were okay. Psylocke walked straight up to Emma deteremind to get Angel back.

"Oh, but we don't have him, luv." Emma answered before Betsy can say anything, "I've given him up to some underground mutant. I think they'd have more fun with him than I would."

Psylocked growled, "If there's even one stratch on him, I swear, Frost, I'm coming after you!"

Before Psylocke left, she threw a full blown mind blast at Emma, who is now unconscious.

"Xavier," Tessa greeted Professor as he came closer, "What now?"

"You join my team, that is if you want." Charles said and Tessa nodded. "Excellent, Tessa--"

"It's Sage." Tessa cutted in, "Tessa is a name Shaw gave me."

"Sage it is." Xavier nodded. "Can you tell me where you believe Emma have kept Warren?"

"From what I understand, this underground group of mutant is known as the Morlocks. Their leader is Callisto, she want someone to rule the tunnel of Morlocks with her."

"I don't think so." Betsy said, "No one get my Warren."

Not too far from them stood Cyclops, Storm, Beast, Cannonball, and Sunspot. They have caught Selene and were talking. "Hey, have anyone seen Shadowcat's team and Wolverine's team?"

Everyone looked at Cylops, wondering the same.

The building exploded as soon as Polaris got the team out of there. She glared at the bodies Colossus was carrying. "Why must we save them?"

"Because," answered Shadowcat, "We need to prove to people that we are not the bad guys. Whatever they did to you, you shouldn't blame them all. Not all human are the same."

"Why did I even join the X-Men in the first place..." Polaris asked herself as she walked away from Kitty.

Havok gently grabbed her shoulder, "because, Lorna, you wanted to make a different. You want peace just like the rest of us. You wanted to find out for sure if you're Magento's daughter."

Polaris shrugged and walked away. That's when she notice two figure from afar fighting. "Hey, is that... Gambit?"

Kitty and the other rushed to the scene, "It's them. But what are they going?"

"Only one way to find out, come on, let's go!" Havok stated as he ran toward Wolverine and Gambit.

"Kitty?" Piotr asked as they neared the sight.

"I think they're under some sort of mind control." Shadowcat answered knowing that was what her boyfriend was asking. "Professor told me about this just as soon as I joined the X-Men."

"How do we stop it?" Havok asked.

"I'll do it." Polaris answered.

Before Wolverine knew it, he was flowing into the air. He could not move a muscle in his bone, while Gambit was being held back by Colossus, who is still in his steel form for protection.

"Snap out of it, guys!" Kitty ordered. After slapping them both senselessly in order to pull them back into the real world. Wolverine look at Kitty. "Where is Rogue and Bobby?"

"Rogue... Bobby?" Logan questioned because he is still not out of it completely.

"De Brotherhood got 'er." Remy answered.

"Mystique was Popsicle all along. It also appear that Nightcrawler is with them." Wolverine finished.

"Nightcrawler?" Kitty asked, "What do you mean? He would NEVER join them!"

"I don't think he's doing this under his own will." Wolverine answered, "this could be that guy who controlled mine and Gumbo here's mind."

"What do we do from here?" Havok asked.

"We go after t'em and get Roguey bac'." Remy replied, only to be disagreed with.

"No, Gumbo, we have to talk to Chuck about this."

"Rogue, chere, wake up." the Remy psyche ordered the sleeping Rogue psyche the so many times n about one hour.

Finally, Rogue eyes begin to open, only to see everything starting to disappear. "Remy, what's going on? The last time I remember was... Mystique..."

"Dat's right, chere." Remy answered. "Dis is Mystique's doing."

"What is she doing to me!" Rogue growled angrily.

"She's trying to erase yo' memories and replace t'em wit' false ones." Remy replied. "One dat yo' a Brotherhood since yo' ran away from home. One dat yo' hate de X-Men and Remy. If she succeed, Remy will disppear forever..."

"How do ya know this, Remy?" Rogue asked suspiously.

"Roguey, it's startin' t'effect you," Remy said as his body started to disappear. "Remy knows, because he can feel all de pain dat de Mastemind man is givin' yo'. He can feel all t'ese changes goin' on. But always remember... Je t'aime pour toujours et toujours"

"REMY!" He disappeared.

Rogue eyes snapped open to see a room full of people staring at her. Nightcrawler was teleportng throughout the room. Pyro with his arm around a girl she knows as her best friend, Wanda Maximoff through the false memory. Nightcrawler was her foster brother. And her foster mother, Raven Darkholme, also known as Mystique stepped in front of her.

"I got a surprise for you, my darling." Mystique replied in an evil tone.

Rogue smirked. "What is it mother?"

"Come and see," Mystique replied.

Rogue stood up and followed Mystique into the torture chamber. There he was, her worse and most hated enemy, Iceman.

With the memory that Rogue was given, Iceman had tried to kill her number of times. He succeed once, but the Brotherhood brought her back to life. "Yah mean, Ah can play wit' him?"

"Be my guest." Mystique said as she allowed Rogue in. If this goes as she planned, then everything is perfect.

Bobby look at Rogue's cold emerald eyes with his pained eyes ice cold blue eyes. He was glad to see her, yet he have this feeling in his gut that he shouldn't trust her and that he should try to run.

Nightcrawler, Pyro, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, and a few others surrounded the place to watch. Rogue walked around Iceman.

"Good ta see yah again." Rogue said.

"Rogue... this is not you." Iceman begin.

"Shut up!" Rogue snarl and kicked his body. "This is the last yah see of humanity, Popsicle. Time ta turn off the lights..."

Rogue left the chamber seconds later to recieve hands being clapped. She had finished the job. An X-Man is dead. While two more are under Mystique's influences through a mutant known as Mastermind.

This is perfect, my children are with me, now the X-Men won't have a change!"
