Well, all right then. My story is now coming to the climax. I'm so excited to find out how it works (you don't really think I had everything planned out from the beginning now do you?). Okay now, let's see . . .

The mansion was very quiet and eerie without anybody except three people in it. Scott was on the first floor and Storm and Jean were on the second. As he lied there on the couch he remembered how Logan was the last time he saw him. He was lying on the ground gripping his head and begging for it to stop, but made sure that everyone would get out before anything could happen.

How could I have been such a dick to him all this time? He made sure that we would be okay, even when he was losing his very freedom. I've been an asshole to him because he liked Jean? How? I have to try to get him back, alive. Logan, I will do something for you now even though I haven't in the past. I swear it.

Then he thought he heard a noise outside.

Hmmm, must just be a helicopter. Wait.

"Jean, Storm, get ready. I think it's almost time," he said into his communicator. He was ready for whatever was going to happen. At least he hoped.

Jean and Storm heard him and got up. They stayed quiet and peaked through the door out to the hall and past the balcony. Neither moved.

Dagger and Wolverine got out of the helicopter and started to sneak up to the mansion quickly and silently. Once they were under a balcony, Dagger threw up a grappling hook and rope. Each of them pulled themselves up. Coincidently, they snuck into Logan's room. They stalked to the door and listened in case anyone was outside the door in the hall.

"There should be kids here, shouldn't there?" Wolverine asked.

"Well, they were warned. They probably left."

"Come on," Wolverine said as he headed into the hallway. Dagger closely followed.

They crept along the hallways, till they got to a corner and stopped.

"What is it Wolverine?"

"I can smell someone. No wait, two, female, over there," he said indicating around the corner.

"We can take them Wolverine. Come on!" Dagger said as he leapt out into the hallway and found Storm and Jean standing at the balcony.

"Well, hello there Phoenix," he said as he started to advance. Storm quickly made a gust of wind come and knock him over.

"Scott! They're here!" Jean cried out to him. Just then Wolverine came out from the shadows. "Logan! Logan?"

"Hey, Red," he said with a wicked grin on his face.

"Jean, it's not Logan! Don't trust him!" Scott yelled as he raced up the stairs.

Dagger got up and joined Wolverine in the hallway. They stood together about to face the X-Men.

"I'll take Red and One-Eye, you take the weather girl," Wolverine told Dagger.

"Wolverine, I can take two. I want Phoenix."

"Then take her," he said letting Dagger go in front. He charged at Jean and Storm, but Cyclopes optic blast knocked him backwards. Wolverine came roaring up behind him and tackled him. He started to use his fists. Storm turned to try and help Cyclopes, but as she did Dagger hit her from behind. As she was falling Jean tried to fight Dagger. She tried to punch him, but he caught it.

"No, no, my dear," he said with a smile and then slapped her out of the way.

"Logan, STOP!" Cyclopes called from the ground. Punches were pummeling him.

"You think this is bad, pretty boy, huh? Just wait till I start using these," he said as he raised a fist and unsheathed his three 9-inch adamantium claws. He went to strike, but Scott kicked him backwards.

"Jean, go get the shot!" Scott called out, getting ready for Wolverine's next attack.

She got up and ran past Storm and Dagger who were fighting with Dagger winning. Then she started to sprint past Logan and Scott, but she felt something pull at her leg.

"Where you goin' Jeannie?" Wolverine taunted. He pulled her off her feet and turned her over so that she was looking up at him. "You guy's are starting to be a trouble for us. I always think we should get rid of the nuisance before they become too annoying."

He raised his fist with claws out with the intension of stabbing her through the chest. As he hurled it downward Scott came and tackled him. They fell onto the balcony. Since they hit it so hard, it broke from the force and they tumbled to the floor on the first floor. When they hit it, neither of them moved.

"SCOTT! LOGAN!" Jean cried and ran down to them. They lay there unmoving for the moment.

"Jean, go get that medication!" Ororo struggled out while still trying to keep Dagger at bay. Jean ran for the med lab.

Exciting? Hope so. Tell me what ya tink. Surry aboot leavein' ya in suspense.
