Chapter 3
"All right! First ta ten wins!" called Rogue, tossing the ball into the air.
Scott jumped and easy got the ball away from Devyn. With a grin, he turned and headed for the basket. As he shot the ball, Devyn jumped and knocked the ball away. She quickly moved down the court and scored two points for herself.
"Two points for Devyn!" Rogue announced.
"I'm good!" Devyn taunted, tossing Scott the ball.
"But I'm better!" he shot back, trying to move around Devyn.
'Damn! She is good!' he thought.
While trying to get around her, he accidently hit her bad knee, causing her to wince in surprise. He got by, scoring two points for himself. He turned back to gloat, but his smile faded as he saw the pain on Devyn's face.
"Devyn!" he exclaimed, rushing over to her, "I'm so sorry!"
"It's not... you're fault." she said, smiling through the pain.
Meanwhile, Magneto stood atop the bleachers, his purple cape flying out behind him in the wind.
"No!" he told himself, "Xavier was wrong! She can't be allowed to live! She's too powerful to be with him!"
He looked down at Devyn, who was being held by Kitty, while Scott took a look at her knee.
"I will finish what I should have done nine years ago!" he cried, holding out his hands.
The ground suddenly began to shake beneath the Xmen.
"Lance! Stop!" Scott cried.
"It's not me!" the tough boy replied.
The poles to the basketball hoops shot out of the ground.
"It's Magneto!" Kitty cried.
Both poles flew at Devyn. Scott quickly reacted by tackling her to the ground, and blasting one of the poles with his optic lasers.
"Scott! Behind you!" Jean cried.
Scott turned as the other pole headed towards them. Devyn screamed, and Scott held her tightly to his chest. Suddenly, Evan Wanner appeared and held out his hands.
"Evan!" Devyn cried.
A bead of sweat trickled down the side of his face as he tried to hold the pole back. Rogue watched and for some reason, stepped towards Evan.
"Rogue! Stay back!" Scott commanded.
She reached out and touched Evan's bare shoulders. She gasped in surprise when she saw his memories, and the fact that he didn't faint like everyone else that she touched. Even's feet began sliding backwards. Rogue instantly grabbed the pole, pulling it back.
"It's after me." Devyn whispered, burying her face in Scott's chest.
"It'll be okay." Scott told her.
Devyn's eyes suddenly snapped open, glowing blue. She pushed Scott away and stood up.
"What are you doing!" Scott demanded.
Dark, sharp pointed wings shot out from Devyn's back, and she flew up into the air.
"Scott!" Devyn's in some kind of trance!" Jean called.
" I'm not Devyn." stated Devyn.
Kitty shivered at the voice. It wasn't Devyn's. It sounded robotic. Dark and evil.
"Let the pole go!" she told Evan and Rogue.
"Are ya nuts!" Rogue demanded, "Ya'll be killed!"
"Do it!" she growled.
Rogue and Evan tried to hold the pole, but it broke free. They cried out, as the pole sent them flying backwards. And instead of flying straight at Scott, the pole headed up towards Devyn.
"What is she doing!" Lance demanded.
Suddenly, claw blades shot out from in between Devyn's knuckles. They resembled Wolverine's but were golden in color. She flung out her blades and struck the pole. Everyone was slightly blinded by a flash of golden light.
"It's...gone?" Todd gasped, as soon as he could see again.
Everyone stared at Devyn, who still hovered above them. Her eyes suddenly stopped glowing, and her wings and blades disappeared.. Her eyes rolled back into her head and she began to fall.
"Devyn!" Kitty cried.
Scott quickly managed to catch her, just before hitting the ground.
"Come on Devyn, wake up!" Scott whispered, shaking her slightly.
"Scott, she's in bad shape! We have to, like, take her to Professor Xavier!" exclaimed Kitty.
Scott stood up and headed towards his car, Devyn still in his arms. Kitty and Rogue were right on his heels. Rogue stopped and turned back.
"Jean, are ya comin?" she asked.
"No, somebody needs to tell Mr. McCoy what happened." Jean replied.
Rogue nodded, and took off after the others.
Kurt sat on the balcony inside the main hall of the mansion, when Kitty shot through the doors.
"Professor!" she cried, flinging the doors open for Scott and Rogue.
Scott rushed in, carrying an unconscious Devyn is his arms.
"Devyn!" Kurt exclaimed, leaping down from the balcony.
"Kitty, what is the matter?" Professor Xavier asked, rolling himself into the room.
"Ya'll gotta help her!" Rogue exclaimed.
Professor Xavier gasped when he saw the girl in Scott's arms.
