The story of an Acolyte
Kao lead the group up the street toward the institute. When they reached the gates Kao went to the side to enter the gate code. As the gate opened Kao turned to the group. When she saw Remy's face Kao knew something wasn't right. "Gambit what's up?" Kao asked as Remy stated up at the mansion "I can't go in there Kao." He answered "What why?" Kao asked. After a few minutes Gambit answered "Because I'm an acolyte" He said quietly Kao stared at Remy. How was Gambit the bad guy in this war? Her thoughts were interrupted by Selene "what's an Acolyte?" she asked. Kao explained about the different mutant teams well Remy avoided her eyes. When she was finished explaining Kao turned her attention back toward Gambit. "How could you Remy I thought of all people you would be against him the most." Kao exclaimed "I don't work for him by choice!" Gambit snapped "I've never heard of anyone who could make you do something Remy Lebeau!" Kao snapped back Gambit sighed he knew he wasn't going to win this battle. Glancing back up at the mansion he sat down on the curb and motioned for the others to do the same. "Kao if I didn't join him I would have been as good as dead but I'll have to tell you the whole story for you to under stand, a couple months after you left my powers began to grow I couldn't control them, I began charging anything I touched. A little while later a man named Magneto came told me that he knew all about my powers and that he could help me gain control over them." Remy paused apparently thinking then he continued "I left with him over the next couple of months I began to gain control. When I finally had complete control Magneto told me he had a permanent group of mutants working for him and he asked me if I wanted to join I asked him what they did he explained that when humans learned of us they wouldn't accept us so he was creating a team of powerful mutants to help him bring on mutant supereraorty and wipe out humans. I thought it over for a while but in the end I still didn't agree with him so I told him I wasn't going to join. He seemed to take it well, even offered for me to stay the night and celebrate the control I had over my powers. I agreed the next morning I work up with this around my neck." Gambit pulled back the collar of his shirt to show a metal band going all the way around his throat. When he had replaced his collar Gambit continued his story "I knew Magneto had something to do with this so I demanded what this was all about he told me that if he couldn't gain my loyalty by choice he would take it by force. I was furious that night I ran the next morning he dragged me back using his power over metal to make sure I came quietly. We traveled to his base up here. I met his other acolytes some of them were loyal to him by choice; there were others like me who had metal bands around their neck. We knew he wasn't lying about killing us but we found out the hard way. One month later a mutant named Ivy said she was leaving and he couldn't stop her. That day he killed her choking her to death he told those of us who weren't loyal, that this was the fate that would come to us if we tried anything stupid." Gambit finished his story in a daze as the images from those days flashed through his mind. Kao paused before saying anything "Maybe the professor could help you Gambit there has to be something he can do" Kao said staring intently at Remy "I've though about that option but the acolytes have been fighting the X-men for so long they'd probably blast me into the ground before I got two words out." He said thinking about the many times he had thought about going to the X-men for help. Kao hesitated she looked at the shirt she had on under her jacket on the shoulders were two X's if she couldn't face the X-men for herself than she'd do it for Remy. "They might not accept you but I'm an X-man too and that must count for something." She stated. Kao and Remy stared at each other for sometime "I hate to break this up but the sun is rising." Selene said staring at the now lightning sky. Kao whipped around to see the darkness slowly disappearing. She turned back to Remy "I'm sorry Gambit but right now we don't have any choice I'll come back tonight." She said staring into Gambits red on black eyes. Kao turned to enter the mansion grounds "Wait ...I'll come with you." Remy said much to Kao joy even though Selene and Michael would be coming with her Kao knew she'd need Gambit at her side. Kao pulled her hood up closer around her face as did Michael. She took a breath before opening the door.
To bad for Kao that at that moment kitty had just walked in to the front hall. Shadow Cat being one of the many students who couldn't get to sleep after the episode last night. Kitty walked in to the front hall to hear the door open and close. Knowing that everyone was in the mansion Kitty peaked her head around the corner to see standing in the hall was Gambit and three others she didn't know. Assuming that they were all acolytes she hurried down the hall to try to find someone else who could help her. The first X-men she came upon were Kurt and Bobby. When she had whispered out her story they agreed that kitty would get the others well Kurt and Bobby went to slow them down. The two teleported behind the group who were upstairs heading toward the professors office. Bobby iced up as he sent a wave of ice at the feet of the intruders freezing them to the floor.
Kao felt a wave of coldness wash over her feet. When she tried to keep walking Kao saw that her's and her friend's feet were frozen to the ground in a large patch of ice. Iceman she muttered to her self. Kao looked down the hall way in front of her. Then turned to see if he was behind them but her view was blocked by the three adults who were trying to free their feet much to their success. Selene had taken out her gun and began blasting the ice, Michael being the powerful hybrid he was just ripped his feet out of the ice, well Gambit just charged up a few card and blew the ice apart. Well Kao was left trapped in the ice as the three adults turned to face the on coming X-men. "How did you get in here acolyte?" Scott asked "I let him in, now will someone get me out of here." Kao said in Vamperian so only Selene, Michael and Gambit heard her. "Sorry Kao." Gambit said as he charged up a few more cards and blasted the ice around Kao's feet. Remy turned his back and stood facing the X-men. Koa bent down to wipe the ice off her pants when she saw out of the corner of her eye a spike fly through the air toward Selene. "Get down!" Kao yelled as she reached to grab the spike out of the air. To bad though because Kao reached over too far and instead of grabbing the spike it went straight through her hand. Kao let out a yell of pain as every one turned to look at her. Now Kao had lost her cool, she grabbed one end of the spike pulling it out through her hand with another yell of pain. Kao dropped the spike and cradled her hand against her chest as she came between the two groups. "Stop it the both of you." Kao hissed at the two teams as she pulled down her hood. This was answered by gasps from the X-men. "Kao!?" Kurt said uncertainly "What are you doing here?"
Kao began to speak but she was interrupted by Scott "So you've gone and joined the acolytes have you" he stated staring intently at her "Of course I haven't!" Kao exclaimed as her hand slowly began to heal. "Then what are you doing with them?" Scott asked assuming that Selene and Michael were Acolytes "They aren't acolytes their vampires." She hissed at Scott "And Gambit isn't an Acolyte either."
"Yes he is!" "No he isn't" This no doubt would have continued but Michael tapped Kao on the shoulder "Is he a Hybrid?" Michael asked in Vamperian. When Kao followed his gaze she saw he was staring at Kurt. Kao laughed as she explained Kurt. The others were all staring at her and Michael. "What's so funny?" Kurt snapped knowing that they were staring at him "Nothing it's just that Michael thought that you were a Hybrid." Kao said trying to lower the tension in the room. Selene saw their blank looks "It's a cross species." She supplied helpfully. To show why he thought Kurt was a Hybrid Michael lowered his hood. The four were spared further questioning because at that moment the professor decided it was time to talk with the group of four
