I am finally able to start this. It took some time to start this since I was busy with...You know what never mind. I do not own either show.
A police car drove up and stopped right in front Stokes County Maximum Security Facility. The gates open up, and the car drives on pass the gate. The policeman gets out of the car and enters the facility. He walks pass some of the gates and puts a key in a keyhole for te door in front of him to unlock. He walks on by as the door opens up and puts his hand on the scanner for the security beams to turn off. The scanner scans and lets the policeman through. He walks on by and walks into the rotating center for him to enter a secret part of the facility. He puts his eye to the eye scanner for him to enter the most dangerous part of the lab. The machine finds a match and rotates for him to enter. He enters the secret part and walks up to the control panel. He presses some buttons and watches the machine bring up a muscular guy in a containment unit with chains holding him down as well. He presses a button to empty the containment unit and watches the liquid empty out. "Wake up, Cain." The guy transformed into Mystique. "It's time you had a long-overdue family reunin with your brother," she walks up to the containment unit, "Charles Xavier." Cain's eyes widen then furrow down in anger.
"You will not be making wallets, necktie racks, or paper weights. You will not be engaged in potato sack races, water balloon tosses, or pony rides." A camp instructor said to the teens that were at something like a boot camp. "You will be taking 20 mile hikes, rappelling 200 foot cliffs, and crossing treacherous water with no more than a rope and all the courage you can muster?" He got up near Scott and Jean. "Do you read me?"
"Yes, Sergeant Hawk, Sir!" Everyone said.
"I said, 'Do you read me?'"
"Yes, Sergeant Hawk, Sir!" Everyone said louder than last time.
Hawk crossed his arms and said, "Welcome to Iron Back Survival Camp, a name you won't soon regret." Hawk walks up to Scott and continues talking. "Now, here we have a young man Scott Sumner..."
"Summers." Scott said plainly.
"…whose scholastic achievements at Bayville High have earned the rank of group leader. You'll be following his lead." Hawk said while walking by the Brotherhood. "I also looked at anyone who was closer to the rank, but he decided not to show so I'm dropping that person. You got 10 minutes to stow your gear and head to the training field. Dismissed!"
The non mutants grab their stuff and walk off. Kitty sighed and put her hand on her head. "Oh, I'm going to be dead in, like, two days." She sat down on her bag.
"What about me?" Evan asked turning to her. "I'm a city kid." He pointed to himself.
Kurt turned to the team. "Vhat did ve ever do to deserve dis?" He asked them.
"Ah'm going a-wall." Rogue grabs her bag and puts it on her shoulder. "Does anyone know how to hot-wire a school bus?"
Scott put a hand on her shoulder. "Whoa, whoa! Slow down, private. Come on. We're not washing out in front of the whole school."
"Danny and Aelita did." Kitty muttered.
"Besides, Professor X endorse this place." Scott continued not hearing Kitty.
"Yeah, at least he gave us a choice." Jean reminded them. "Survival training here or with Wolverine."
"Some choice. Ah just hope Danny and Aelita know what they're doing." Rogue said crossing her arms.
"Come on, we can do this." Scott grabbed his bag with the rest of the team following.
"Just remind me why those two chose Wolverine over going with us to the camp?" Kitty asked.
"Unfortunately, Aelita has a meeting with some famous inventor, and Danny's the only one who can drive her there because he knows about it." Jean told Kitty. "Danny also mentioned that he and Aelita are training how to use weapons to protect themselves just in case they lose their powers."
"Man, why do they get sword training while we get survival training?" Evan said then walked into the guys' cabin with Scott and Kurt.
"I wish I knew the answer." Scott told him honestly.
Rogue put her bag on her bed and sat down. She sighed, "Ah miss him so much right now. Ah wonder what's happening right now anyway."
"You, like, won't know unless you call him." Kitty said making both girls glare at her. She backed away in embarrassment. "Oh yeah, we had to leave them at the Institute."
Meanwhile at the S. C. M. S. C. the fluid finished getting drained where Cain was being held in. "Cellular Paralysis Biofluid, amazing." Mystique said. "It actually stopped the unstoppable" She pressed another button to remove the containment unit from surrounding him. "It will take a few minutes before you can move." She pressed another button to free him from his chains. She walked up to him saying, "Then I'll break you out of this horrible prison where...Now who was it that locked you away?" She asked him again. "Oh that's right your brother, Charles Xavier." He growled again. "Sore subject?"
He balled his hands up into fists. "Who...are you?" He asked looking up at her as she walked to the door.
"A deal maker." She plainly stated. She presses a button and continues, "I arrange your early release, and you deliver to me one item in your brother's possession," she grabs the helmet and walks to Cain, "his mutant detection system known as Cerebro."
"And, uh, my brother?" He asked as Mystique put the helmet on his head.
"I leave his fate in your keeping." She puts the latches on to have the helmet fully connected to Cain's suit. "You are, after all, the unstoppable Juggernaut." She stepped a few feet in front of him and crossed her arms. "I have a plane waiting." She started to walk to the door. "It will take you..." She was pushed out of his way and fell into a lower part nearby.
Juggernaut kept on walking. "No one! No one takes Juggernaut anywhere, and nothing gets in my way." He punched the door down and walked on.
Mystique leaned on the little cement and said, "Charming." She looked at him angrily.
Danny steadied the sword in his hand and closed his eyes making himself become calm as he stood in the middle of the Danger Room. "I'm starting to wonder if it is even worth the training." Aelita said as she started to feel bored watching Danny stay calm.
"This kind of training is important, Pinky. Plus, Phantom's new mutant ability is still under development right now." Logan commented as he continued watching Danny.
Aelita leaned against the wall and crossed her arms. "You do know that I have to leave to get my instruction manual to Tony Stark in an hour, and I haven't done any training myself." She reminded him.
Logan sighed and rubbed his temples. "Fine," he muttered pressing the button for the microphone, "Pinky wants to have her turn in training before you guys head off to meet that playboy."
Danny opened his eyes and looked up at the control room. "Aw man, I thought we were finally going to stop the concentration exercises and start the actual fighting."
"You can't rush things like this Phantom. You need to have good concentration in order for you to go the distance with your new mutant power."
Danny rolled his eyes and muttered, "You know my concentration is only great during battle." He walked out of the Danger Room as Aelita walked into the elevator to head into the locker room to get ready for her training.
At the camp Scott and Lance both got up the rope and down the rope on a zip line handle. They got up to the rafts and started to untie the ropes. "You swim?" Lance asked Scott.
"Yeah." Scott answered back looking at Lance.
"Pity." He made the ground shake and watched Scott fall into the water. Lance got in his raft and took off.
"Hey, that cheating chump!" Evan said bringing his spikes out of his right arm.
"Listen." Jean said grabbing Evan's arm. "We agreed not to use any powers out here, remember? You know, man against nature."
Evan moved his arm away from her grasp. "That guy needs his boat popped!" Evan pointed at the raft.
"Yeah, well Scott's cool. He'll handle it like a real leader should." They watched Lance paddle to the other side then get blasted by Scott's beam. "Or were." She mumbled. Scott got in the raft and made it to the other side and past the finish line.
His team was cheering in victory minus Jean. "That loser Scott should have lost, and you know it." Fred said to the X-men.
"Yeah, just because he slipped and took a bath, the guy went ballistic." Pietro said walking closer to them.
"Slipped? More like avalanched!" Kurt said moving two fingers between them.
"He stole that first place ribbon." Toad said.
"He did not!" Kitty yelled back.
"You want that ribbon so bad? Ah'll pin it to your forehead, loser." Rogue said to Todd. Both sides started to argue over who should have won that race. The coach blows his whistle and makes them do 60 push-ups.
When they were done Fred just collapsed. "Now on your feet." Hawk said to them. Everyone got up. "Here at Iron Back, we got ways to weed the loud mouths from the tough guys. We fight it out in the wilderness against the wilderness. You grunts want to prove how tough you are, fine." He looked Lance right in the eye and raised his cap. "First team to snatch a flag I planted on Mount Humiliation and brings it back to me, wins."
"Cakewalk. Our team can take a sauna. I'll get it myself." Pietro said pointing to himself.
"Not if I beat you there." Kurt said crossing his arms.
"The whole team or no one!" Hawk said to them. "As proof, I want a snapshot of everyone right there at the top." He pointed at the top of the mountain. "Are we clear?"
"Sir, yes, Sir!" Everyone said.
"You'll leave in five from opposite trails. Be ready." He walked away from everyone.
The groups went their separate ways. "Better say farewells, Sumner, 'cause you guys aren't coming back!" Lance yelled pointy at Scott.
Scott narrowed his eyes at Lance. He turned his body completely around and said, "Oh, you got something in mind, Rock Tumbler? Cause I..." He was about to remove his glasses when Jean grabbed his arm.
"Scott, what do you think you're doing?" She asked him.
"What? Nothing. I'm just fed up with those delinquents getting away with everything, while we're stuck playing by the rules." Scott said defensively.
"Hey!" Lance walked up to Scott. "We don't need our powers to defeat you."
"Aw, fine, then! We'll all play straight, and you know what?" Scott points his finger at Lance. "We'll wave to you from the top."
"Good. That's the deal." Jean said as the guys walked away. "We're all competing fairly. No powers, and I personally am very..."
"Come on Jean." Scott grabbed Jean and pulled her away.
Aelita and Danny walked back into the Institute and went straight into the kitchen. "When do you think he'll have everything complete?" Danny asked as Aelita sat herself down on one of the chairs.
"I give a week to build the machine and a month to get all the programming up into it for me to rebuild Lyoko." She told him bringing the holo-screen up on the table. She made a series of codes appear on the screen and smiled making Danny confused.
"Wait, didn't you give Tony all of those codes and instructions on how to build that virtual world?" Danny asked scratching his head in confusion.
Aelita giggled, "I did, but I decided to leave out the codes for what is needed to create the sectors and the power core which keep Lyoko together." She closed the holo-screen and chuckled, "It's too bad that I want the place to be exactly how my father built it to be."
Danny raised an eyebrow and asked, "Wait, you kept these codes to make Tony didn't reprogram it to look like he wanted it to look like?"
Aelita made a holographic projection of what the original Lyoko looked making Danny look at it in surprise. "This is Lyoko the way my father programmed it to be. Of course there are some things I would love to change about it, but I'm keeping it this way for my father to see when we free him from the digital sea."
"Do you think Tony will be able to create the machine to find your father?" Danny asked as he stared at the model of what the remake of Lyoko was going to look like. "I mean you said it yourself. Your father was scattered into so many small particles that would make it seem like he's dead."
Aelita nodded in agreement and looked over the whole schematics of Lyoko. "True, but with the right technology and with the right codes, I should be able to find all of the small particles of my dad and put him back together. Hopefully, things will not be as complicated as they are now." She finished quietly.
Danny sighed and looked up at her. "Why won't you tell the others about this?"
"The Professor wouldn't like it, and you know how furious Wolverine would be when he finds out what we've been doing behind their backs." She reminded him.
Danny shook his head. "Aelita, I understand your reason behind all the secrets, but we need to tell the Professor what we're really doing before we go do it."
Aelita got up from her seat and muttered, "I get it Danny." She made her holographic replica of Lyoko disappear and asked, "When should we tell him?"
"We better tell him before they get back from their training trip. Plus, we won't feel too guilty about going behind his back even if it is for a worthy cause."
Aelita giggled and smiled at him. "You sure know how to lighten the mood."
Danny shrugged and smirked slightly, "Eh, I'm glad to help."
Logan walked out of the living room just in time to see Danny and Aelita leave the kitchen. "Ah good, you guys are back." He said making the two stop and look at him. "We'll start your training up again after I meet with Charles and see how the others are doing."
"We were actually on our way there too." Aelita said smiling at Logan. "There's something I need to tell him."
Logan raised an eyebrow, "Does this have to do with your meetings with Tony Stark?"
Aelita frowned and nodded, "Yeah, I just need to tell the Professor what we're going to be doing before everything is fully functional and ready for the project to be operational."
"It must be one pretty big project if Tony Stark is interested in it." Logan commented as the three went to Xavier's study.
"It is." Danny said putting his hands in his pockets. 'You wouldn't believe what's happened the past couple weeks either.' He added in his mind.
"Well, whatever you guys are going to tell him, Charles will understand if you give him the whole situation." Logan reminded them as they walked into the Study Room.
Charles turned his slightly when he heard them walking into the room. "Oh you're back." He said keeping Cerebro on his head as he turned back to the screen in front of him. "When did you guys get back from the trip?"
"We got back a few minutes ago." Aelita answered noticing that Professor Xavier was wearing Cerebro. "Has there been a new mutant sighting?"
Charles shook his head. "No, the others have been a little active back at Iron Back."
"Did you tell them not to use their powers?" Logan asked putting his hand on the chair.
Charles looked at Logan and said, "No, I was hoping they would make that decision themselves."
"It's a good thing we chose to stay here even though I wish Rogue stayed with me." Danny said muttering the part about his soon to be girlfriend.
"I doubt any of them would have survived Logan's survival training anyway." Aelita said with a shrug as she sat down in one of the chairs in the room.
Logan turned his head to them and glared at her. "The only reason why you two are not doing the survival training is because of the mutant hunter incident. We can't have something like that happen again."
"I agree with Logan, but the survival training should not be put aside for weapon training." Charles added making Danny groan.
"Do we really have to do survival training?" Danny asked as he sat himself down in another chair. "We had to deal with so many crazy training sessions in the Danger Room."
"Which is why you guys need real survival training." Charles reminded Danny. "Out of everyone here you are the most accustomed to the outdoor life because of the time you spent on your own before joining the Institute."
"Wait, what is he talking about?" Aelita asked looking at Danny in confusion.
"You know how I'm having problems with my family?" Danny asked her.
Aelita nodded, "Yeah, you told us you had to leave the house because your...Oh." She stopped when the thought hit her. "I remember now."
"He actually only told you and Charles." Logan said pointing back at Professor Xavier. "Jan told the rest of us by accident when she started to talk about the problems going on with their family."
"Does Rogue know?" Aelita asked Danny.
Danny rubbed the back of his neck with a sigh. "No, I have not told her about my family situation."
Aelita sighed at hi stupidity. "When the training is over, you will tell her everything about your situation with your family." She stated firmly.
Suddenly Cerebro had gone off making everyone look at it in surprise. "Discovery. Enhanced mutant signature." The screen started to bring up the mutant found. "Identity confirmed and matched to Archive File." The computer said.
"Archive File? Who would..." The screen brought the face up first making Charles gasp.
"Name: Cain Marko. Residence: Stokes County Maximum Security Prison. Current location: in Transit. Upstate New York." The computer brought the map up.
"No!" Charles whispered in fright.
"Cain Marko? Who's..." Wolverine didn't finish.
"My half-brother. Somehow, he's escape. But that...That's impossible." Charles took the helmet off.
"What's an enhanced mutant signature?" Aelita asked as she and Danny got up from their seats.
Charles rolled his wheel chair away from Cerebro. "He possessed an X-gene at birth, but it was dormant most of his life so he awakened it with mysticism."
"What kind of powers does he have?" Danny asked as he and Aelita walked up to the professor.
"He's become a Juggernaut. Invulnerable." The professor turned to the pair and sighed, "I don't want to do this, but it has come to the time where I'm going to put my trust in you two."
"What do you need us to do Professor?" Danny asked as a shadow disappeared from the room.
A dirty blond haired man came out of the shadows on the roof of the Institute and pulled his phone out of the pocket of his jacket. He pressed the number on his phone and put it up to his ear. "Hey, it's me. There's been a change of plans to the mission."
"What kind of change Johnny?" The man over the phone asked impatiently.
"The Juggernaut has escaped his holding cell, and Charles Xavier believes that he'll be on his way here."
"Hm, I see your predicament. You'll have to do the mission at another time then."
Johnny narrowed his eyebrows. "When will that be, huh? My girlfriend doesn't like it when I take these kinds of jobs especially from you."
"I'll call you back when it will be time for you to go. You can go rejoin your girlfriend for the time being, but you better remember who pays you to keep yourself going in this world." The man said before hanging up on the teen.
"That man is starting to get on my last nerves." Johnny muttered before going into a shadow disappearing from anyone's view.
At Iron Back, Scott was leading his team to the mountain. He turned around and said, "Come on! Let's pick it up! We're almost to the base."
He continued on the trail with Rogue asking the others, "What's with Mr. Decathlon? He's as bad as Sergeant Hawk."
"All he cares about is winning this thing." Kitty said getting tired. "Hey Kurt, can you, like, make yourself useful and just teleport us up to the top?"
He caught up to her and said, "This trip is of the power free variety, I'm told."
Jean caught up to them and grabbed both of their arms. "Come on. Just follow Scott's lead on this. We'll win. You'll see."
"The mosquitoes here are the size of pelicans." Evan said swatting them away from him. "No bugs like this in the Burg, man. Why are we here again?"
"Vhy didn't we just join Danny and Aelita?" Kurt asked Jean as everyone ignored Evan's question.
"Mainly because we didn't know they chose Wolverine over this." Kitty said crossing her arms in jealousy. "I bet Wolverine's having them do something extremely hard for them to take care of."
"Forget what Danny and Aelita are doing right now." Scott said as he turned his head to them. "We got other things to worry about now, and they shouldn't be anything to worry about."
"Wha do yah mean by that?" Rogue asked crossing her arms narrowing her eyebrows at Scott.
Scott sighed and turned his head back to the front. "Sorry Rogue, it's hard to remember your relationship with Danny since you guys never completely admit you guys are together." He told her sincerely.
"It's hard for us to admit it because weh want the right time to come up for us to kiss." Rogue reminded him.
"I'm starting to think they're using that as an excuse." Evan whispered to Kurt making him chuckle.
"They'll kiss one of these days." Aelita said making the whole group to stop and look at Kurt who pulled a small device out of his pocket.
Kurt smiled nervously, "Aelita gave me zis just in case for an emergency."
A holo-screen appeared in front of Kurt making everyone stare at it in surprise. "It's a good thing I did too, because something has come up." She told them with a serious expression.
"What's going on Aelita?" Jean asked as the whole team listened to what was about to be told to them.
"A mutant known as the Cain Marko aka the Juggernaut has escaped his cell from maximum security is on his way to the Institute."
"Why would he go to the Institute?" Scott asked.
"It's because Professor was the one who got him locked up there, and they're also half-brothers." Aelita admitted with a sigh making everyone look at her in surprise.
"Ah'm guessing this guy was locked up because he did some bad things."
Aelita shrugged, "We don't know since we never asked. All we know is that he is invulnerable hence the name Juggernaut."
"When will the Blackbird be here to pick us up?" Scott asked getting into leader mode.
"Storm will be on her way to pick you guys up, but you guys need to get onto higher ground for her to pick you up and get you here immediately."
"We're way ahead of you."
Aelita nodded and turned the communication off making Kurt lower the machine. "Well, vat's da plan?" He asked making everyone look at Scott.
Scott pointed behind him. "We'll continue to the top of the mountain to get to the flag, but we're going to need to be quick about it meaning we're going to use our powers." He told them.
"No, we're going to continue not using our powers for the survival training like we should." Jean said giving Scott a hard glare.
"This isn't about our survival Jean. We need to save the Professor, and that means we need to get to the top as fast as we can."
Jean crossed her arms and said, "The Blackbird probably just left giving us enough time, to get to the top, to get the picture we need to take, and to get on the Blackbird for us to fly back to save the Professor."
"If yah guys are done arguing over what we should do, Ah say we just get going and worry about what weh should be doing later!" Rogue yelled at them before walking off with the others following her leaving a surprised Scott and Jean.
"She wants Danny to survive." Scott said after a few seconds.
"No argument." Jean said back before they walked after the others.
Todd kept on jumping up the mountain. "Man, what's taking you guys so long?" He asked laughing to himself.
"Man if he slips and falls, we are history. Death by Blubbor bomb." Pietro said to Lance.
Fred kept on pounding his feet into the mountain to keep his balance going up. "Fastest way to the top is a straight line, Pietro." Lance said to him while they were walking up the wall with a rope around their waist. "We are winning this race. Make no mistake."
Storm was on the Blackbird at the pilot seat and pressed a button. "Engage autopilot." She got out of the seat and walked onto a platform that put her to the top of the Blackbird. She made fog appear and flew around the town to block the town from finding Juggernaut.
Charles smiled after watching the news about the fog. 'Good job, Storm. Keep it up.' He telepathically said to Storm. He turned to Logan and said, "If no one can see Cain, then no one would be foolish enough to try and recapture him."
"If I can't stop him Charles, your best protection will be in the danger room. I've got it ready." They left the room and went down the hallway.
"Yes, it may slow him down, but it won't stop him. Let's just hope Aelita's warning to the team will get them moving and ready for what is about to come."
"Do you have any defense on him at all?" Wolverine asked curiously.
"Just one, my mind." The elevator opened up for them to enter which they did. "With enough psychic blasts, I can disable him, unless he's wearing his helmet." The elevator closed behind Wolverine.
"Then I have no doubt he's wearing it." Aelita said as she brought a live feed up of the Juggernaut from one of Stark's satellites.
Charles intertwined his fingers with a sigh. "I see. Danny, does anyone know of his escape from your end?"
"Tony knows about it, but he's in Italy getting some technology for a project he and Aelita are working on. Jan and her boyfriend, Hank, are already on their way when this went on the news. I told her not to come, but she ignored my warning like she always does." Danny told Xavier.
"Hey Freddie a helping hand?" Lance asked as he and Pietro were hanging over the cliff by the rope around them. Fred started to pull them up and heard them complaining about him hurting them. "An abandoned mine?" Lance asked walking closer to it.
Fred crossed his arms and said, "Toad's checking for a shortcut."
Toad came back into view and said, "Hey, there's a tunnel in there that's, like, a stairway to the top."
"Now you're talking. That flag is ours." Lance ripped the board off in front of him and walked into the tunnel with the others following him.
Scott looked up and heard Kurt ask, "Spot da flag?"
Scott looked at Kurt and answered, "No. Pop up top and see if it is still there."
"But I zought...Vhat about Jean?" Kurt asked looking behind him.
"Look, do you want to win or not?" Scott asked putting a hand on Kurt's shoulder.
"Ok. Fine, but she is not going to like dis. I can tell you dat." Kurt teleported away from the group and landed on the top to see the flag close.
Kurt teleported back to the others and said, "It's there. We are very close."
Scott got the rope off from around his chest and turned to Evan. "Evan, spike a rope up there. Time is wasting."
"You sure?" Evan asked. Scott just stared at him. "You look pretty sure to me man." Evan grabs the rope and brings out a spike in his right arm. He makes a knot around the spike then shot it up into the air.
The spike lands and gets settled into the rock of the mountain. "That flag is ours." Scott said then spit on his right hand and rubbed them together. He started to climb up the rope then turned to his team then went from smile to a frown. Jean walked up to him and huffed and went up the mountain side by climbing it.
Toad led the group through the tunnel to the ladder that led up to the small hole. Lance saw the hole and grabbed Toad. "You bonehead!" He rams Toad against the wooden pole. "We can't get through there!" The ground started to shake. "We've probably lost because of you!"
"I kinda figured you could, you know, avalanche it loose a little bit." Toad said trying to avoid getting hurt.
"He's right." Pietro said. "Give it some more juice, Lance, and you'll unclog it."
"All right." Lance throws Toad away from the spot. "Stand back!"
The ground started to shake making the ground in the cave become loose. "No! The cave is coming down!" Fred yelled as the cave was giving in on them.
The X-men kept on climbing to the top of the mountain and saw the flag just ahead. "There it is!" Scott exclaimed. "Victory!" The ground started to shake below them.
Evan was holding onto a part of the side of the mountain and lost his grip and fell off. "Ahh!" He yelled as he started to fall. Jean grabbed Evan with her telekinesis and brought him back up with them. "Whoa." Evan said as he landed safely on his feet. "I don't recommend that." He pointed behind himself.
"Nice move." Scott said to Jean. "That tremor had to be Lance, so they got to be close. Jean levitate us all to the top."
Jean put her hands on her hips and said, "No way forget it."
"What? You just used your powers. What's the difference?" Scott asked getting offended.
"That was life and death! This contest isn't!" Jean argued back at him. "It seems like X-men ought to know the difference."
"Over here!" Rogue exclaimed looking down a hole. "It's them."
"Ah, we're caved in! Ah come on. Don't leave us down here, man, not for some stupid flag." Toad said to the X-men.
"We won't!" Scott said to the Brotherhood.
Danny and Aelita stood in the front lobby with their arms crossed as they stood on the stairs. Once the alarm went off Danny and Aelita glanced at each other. "Good luck." He told her.
"Good luck." She said back as she made her wings appear. She flew off down the hallway and went straight to her destination.
Danny watched her leave then stood in the center part of the stairs with a smirk on his face. "I hope Wolverine and the Professor won't be mad at us for disobeying orders." He said when he heard a yell outside. He waited nearly twenty seconds when Wolverine crashed through the door and hit the floor in front of the stairs.
"You can't stop me. I'm the Juggernaut!" The Juggernaut said as he walked into the Institute.
"That may be true, but you never had to face me before." Danny said as he made his hands glow with his energy.
"Do you think your measly power will affect me? I'm the Juggernaut!"
Danny made two giant balls of energy appear and threw them at the latches of the villain. He watched as his energy did nothing to the latches making him frown. 'He must of thought about that before.' Danny thought before phasing through the ground to avoid getting punched by Cain.
Cain went through the whole he made and walked after Danny who phased through the wall into a room. "You think running will stop me from getting to Charles!" He punched the wall and found Danny had disappeared.
"Actually, I just wanted to distract you." Danny said as he landed on Juggernaut's helmet. He made his intangible and gripped the helmet as Cain grabbed Danny. "Oh no." Cain threw Danny off of him not realizing what Danny had done.
Cain watched Danny fly through the wall and widened his eyes when he saw his helmet go with the teen. "You are going to pay for taking my helmet!" He yelled as he punched the wall where Danny had gone through.
Mystique walked into the study and smirked when she saw Cerebro sitting there. "Well, it seems I finally get what I want." She said as she walked up to Cerebro only to find it shut off. She looked over the controls and muttered, "Where would Charles put the 'on' switch at?"
"There isn't an 'on' switch." Aelita said as she came out of the dark corner of the room with a smile on her face. She crossed her arms and smirked, "I turned it off since I figured something was up."
"Why would you turn off Cerebro?!" Mystique yelled in anger. "Turn it back on now!"
Aelita giggled and made two energy fields appear in her hands. "I'm sorry, but my manual control cannot be tampered with by anyone but me. I hope you have a nice day leaving the Institute."
Mystique growled angrily, "This isn't a game girl. Now, turn Cerebro back on before I hurt you enough to make you."
Aelita pointed both of her hands at Mystique and said, "I would believe you would hurt me, but you're playing in my field." She shot both of her energy fields at Mystique making the woman dodge both of them effortlessly.
"Do you really think your simple attacks will hurt me?"
"Whoever said they were meant for you?" Aelita asked crossing her arms with a smirk on her face.
Mystique turned around and gasped in surprise when she saw Cerebro being covered in the pink energy. "What did you do?!" Mystique asked slowly and dangerously.
"I permanently locked it. Now, only Professor Xavier and I can access Cerebro making your access terminated."
Mystique growled and ran at the teen. She swung her leg around and hit a force field surrounding Aelita. "What…"
"Let me explain. My mutant power allows me to hack all types of machines. I can also use a specific program my father created before his disappearance as well. This program allows me to have more powers than I'm supposed to originally have." Aelita told Mystique making the woman growl in annoyance.
"You are starting to act a bit too cocky."
"That's because I'm only distracting you." Aelita said as she walked to the side of the room.
Mystique felt the ground rumble then looked straight at the wall in surprise as Danny flew through it with the helmet in his hands. Danny stopped in the middle of the room and landed on the ground with a smirk. "Well, it seems I'm just on time." He said hearing the heavy footsteps coming their way.
Juggernaut smashed his fist through the wall and glared angrily at Danny. "You better give me back my helmet, or I'll crush you to pieces!" He yelled angrily at the teen who only walked back to the desk in front of Cerebro.
"You're going to crush me to pieces whether or not I give you the helmet." Danny said with a serious expression. "I rather take my chances for something good to happen rather then something bad."
Cain ran at Danny and swung his fist at Danny only for Danny to jump back and drop the helmet. Cain picked his helmet up and put back on his head. "You made a good choice."
Danny took a couple steps back and muttered, "That was not supposed to happen." He ran through the wall with a frightened look in his eyes.
"I'm going to make sure you get hurt." Cain ran through the wall head first and noticed the boy was nowhere in sight. "You can't hide from me!" He smashed another wall and growled angrily. He saw the place was empty then grunted, "I'll come back for you later kid! I have a score to settle with my brother." He cracked his knuckles and ran his way to the Danger Room where he knew his brother was staying.
Aelita activated her wings and flew off leaving an angry Mystique in the room. She flew into the elevator and had it lower her down into the control room of the danger room. "Now, he just needs to take the bait, and hopefully everyone else shows up before he gets near the Professor." She muttered as she finished typing in the command codes for Professor Xavier.
Wolverine landed in front of Cain and said, "I don't know how you got here, bub, but you will not be going any farther."
Cain grabbed Wolverine's head and smashed it through the wall. "I would like to see you try!" Cain said before throwing Wolverine through the wall.
Wolverine got up on his feet and ran at Cain only to get punched in the face and smashed into the ground. "Well, I guess I should have seen that coming." Danny said as he watched the video cameras from the control room.
"We weren't supposed to get involved fighting this guy." Aelita reminded him.
Danny sat down and asked, "When do you think we should get out of this room to fight this guy?"
They watched the video camera as Wolverine was smashed through the door into the Danger Room. "Um, Danny, when do the others plan on arriving?"
Danny looked at Aelita worryingly and muttered, "They better get here soon, or we're doomed."
"You ungrateful thug." Mystique said to Cain.
"Cain," Charles started to back up with Mystique, "this doesn't have to end badly. This house, it's about new beginnings."
Cain walked towards them. "You're right, Charles. This is the beginning for me and the end for both of you!"
"You learned nothing. You never will." Charles said still backing away from Juggernaut with Mystique backing up as well. "Activate, Logan's run X-13." Buzz saws came out at Juggernaut and were destroyed easily by blocking them then punching them. A device in the middle came out with four giant spike balls and twirled around very fast. Cain walked through it by stopping each ball and making them break off easily. Wolverine started to gain consciousness and witnessed Juggernaut destroying one of the giant robotic arms.
"Take a break, Wolverine." Scott said with everyone behind him.
"We'll take it from here." Lance said.
"Well this is a surprise." Mystique said surprised to see both teams working together.
"It's about time." Danny muttered before phasing into the Danger Room.
Cain was about to grab Charles' face when Jean grabbed Cain with her mind. He had too much weight so she had to let him and fainted before hearing what Wolverine said. "Cain's helmet. Remove it." Wolverine said weakly.
Cain was about to grab Jean when Blob hit Juggernaut hard with his belly. "Unstoppable meet the unmovable." Fred said as Kurt teleported onto Cain's back and undid one of the latches.
Juggernaut grabbed Nightcrawler and threw him to the ground. He ran and hit Blob hard in the gut making him slide across the ground to the wall. Scott and Danny came between them and blasted him with beams coming from their eyes. "When did you get that?" Scott asked surprised.
"No time to explain." Danny said back and blasted him again. Lance made the ground shake below Cain. Cain fell to his knees making Quicksilver come up and undo the second latch in the back. Juggernaut got up making Pietro fall off him to the ground. Storm made it windy making it hard for Juggernaut to concentrate. He faced the wall when Rogue and Kitty came through the wall to undo the front two latches. Juggernaut got up making both girls run; then Toad jumped onto the wall and grabbed the helmet with his tongue making Juggernaut complain crazily.
"I'm sorry Cain." Charles said.
"No!" Cain ran to Charles only to grab his head in pain. Cain tried to grab Charles but fainted right before he could do a thing. Everyone ran up to them cheering happy that they won.
"Now there's something that you don't see every day." Mystique said smiling at her team.
"I agree, and that's a shame." Charles looked at Mystique.
"Come on boys." Mystique started to walk away. "Let's get out of here before you're invited to a slumber party."
"Hey Summers, as a group leader, you're only half-bad. Danny has better leadership than you." Lance said to Scott.
"Next time, I'll let you call the shots." Scott said pointing to him.
"Trust me. There won't be a next time." Lance walked away with his team with Scott smiling at them.
Charles, Logan, Jean, and Scott went back to Stokes County Maximum Security Facility and watched Charles put Cain back where he was. "You can't control the will of others, Charles." Wolverine said. Charles turns his head to them. "They do what they want."
"And we do what we have to do." Charles said sadly.
"Well, you ready?" He asked Charles. "Repairs on Cerebro are waiting."
Charles pressed a button and made Cain go back to where he was. "Yes." He turned around and followed everyone out of the room.
"It felt kind of right, didn't it?" Scott asked out of nowhere.
"What did?" Jean asked curiously.
"You know, us and them fighting alongside. I mean why can't they just stop drawing battle lines in the sand?" They walked out of the rotating elevator and kept on walking down the bridge to go outside.
"It's like Logan said. You can't control the will of others."
"Yeah, I know, and maybe they'll come around. Hey, and you can be their conscience. You're pretty good at it." He nudged her at the side.
"Shut up!" She said shoving him a little making them stop walking. "Hey, even good guys need a nudge once in a while." She walked on.
"Jean, whenever you think I need a nudge. Nudge away." He put an arm around her and walked on out of the facility.
"By the way, did you notice that those two did something to help with the plan without telling us?" Logan asked Charles when he noticed the two teens were not around.
Charles nodded, "Yes, and they were lucky this time. I fear something bad will happen to them if another situation comes up like this again."
Logan sighed and put his hands in his pockets. "Well, at least they were able to distract Cain long enough to stop him from getting to you quickly."
Charles sighed in agreement. "I'm starting to worry about Daniel. His telepathic block is now unnoticeable even by me. I only hope he doesn't start making decisions that will make him go another path from what I'm teaching him."
Logan smirked, "You shouldn't have to worry Charles. The kid has a natural born hero inside of him. If there was any decision he would make without us knowing it, he would probably become a hero."
Charles smiled as they got close to the van. "Yes, I suppose you're right about that. After all I doubt he would want to go against his cousin."
Danny stood in his room looking out the window in thought. 'We defeated The Juggernaut. Jan and Hank got delayed and couldn't make it. The Professor is probably upset with what Aelita and I did.' He heard someone knock on the door and said, "Come in."
Rogue walked into his room and asked, "How are ya feeling?"
Danny smiled at her and turned around. "I'm okay. I will admit that it felt strange going against someone who could have killed me, but it felt the right thing to do." He told her truthfully.
"Ah hope this doesn't mean that yah plan on going hero now." She joked making Danny chuckle.
"We'll see about that." Danny walked up to her and grabbed her hand. "Plus, things are only starting to reveal what's going on in our universe. I only wonder where we would be during all of it."
Rogue removed her glove and put her hand on Danny's cheek. "Ah hope weh stand side-by-side during all of it." She told him before kissing him on the mouth making him respond back immediately.
They heard a click and a flash and turned their heads immediately to see Kurt next to the opened door with a camera in his hands. "Whoops, I'm going to go now!" He said before teleporting away.
"Kurt!" The two yell before running after him.
Aelita watched the two run after Kurt wherever he went and smiled, "Things are back to normal." She pulled a picture out of her pocket and sighed when she saw Jeremy on the picture. "I only wish I knew where you were Jeremy."
Jeremy Belpois sat in a prison cell glaring at the wall. He heard his cell door open but didn't even send a glance at who it was. "Are you going to help us with the project, or will you keep ignoring us?" The man asked knowing the boy will not respond. "We will find her Jeremy, and you will help us find her."
"You can't convince me to help you find her one bit." Jeremy told the man.
The man chuckled, "I guess her mother would be disappointed then that you won't help her find her daughter."
Jeremy looked at the man with a glare. "You really expect me to fall for that? You must be more delusional than I thought."
The man shrugged and closed the cell door. "You'll do it Belpois, or your family will suffer for your actions." He told the boy before leaving the room.
Jeremy turned his attention back to the wall and muttered, "I only hope the others find a way to free us from you and this place before things take a turn for the worse."
Sorry this took some time. I got a small writers block at one point then got some new ideas for adding new characters. The next chapter will introduce a new character for the team, and this one probably will not be a surprise where he/she comes from, but I decided to add this person without making much change to the person at all. Also the supercomputer for Lyoko will be done in the next chapter making it come back for Aelita to use. I hope everyone enjoyed it. R&R
