Sorry everyone, I started the chapter then my laptop broke, but I was able to save all the information and lost none of the data. This chapter will have a new mutant introduced, and I will not say anymore to ruin the moment. It did take a while for the whole chapter to be complete. I hope you guys enjoy the chapter.
Nick Fury walked through the forest and stopped to look at the view of the city on the other side of the body of water. He felt the wind blow but didn't move as he kept his gaze on the city. He felt a presence appear behind him and asked, "What do you think of the view?"
"I find it fascinating, and I still don't see why you wanted to meet on a weekend when Aelita's project should be finally finished today." Danny answered crossing his arms with a raised eyebrow.
Nick smirked, "I knew today was important Danny, but something came up we could not find ourselves to ignore." He pulled the file out and handed it to Danny who grabbed it. "Her name is Dawn Moon, and she can read people's auras and talk to animals."
Danny opened the file and raised an eyebrow. "Okay…I'm still a bit lost where this is going."
"She wanted to participate in a show known as Total Drama Revenge of the Island, but we intercepted her audition tape before those people got their hands on it." Nick continued making Danny raise an eyebrow. "You have heard of Total Drama Island, right?"
Danny shrugged, "I've heard of it, but I never had the time to even see it." He looked over the contents in the folder and stopped when his eyes came onto a certain part in the description. "Wait, she lives in the country?"
"Yes, her family moved out into the country to have a peaceful life. We're guessing it's because they might be mutants as well." Fury explained making Danny raise an eyebrow.
"If they were mutants, why would they let their daughter make a video audition for some reality show?" Danny asked not getting the reason why this was happening.
Nick sighed, "You make a good point, but you better have Charles Xavier run a check and see if she is a mutant. If she is one I would like you to have a talk with her and tell her what could have happened if…"
"…If she revealed her powers." Danny finished closing the file. "I'll see what I can do about this. When did you want me to leave?"
"You can leave once it is confirmed she is a mutant. If she isn't a mutant, then her audition tape will go straight to the show like nothing happened."
'Glad to see you care about us.' Danny thought as he turned around and walked away not noticing Fury watching him leave.
'Kid, I better not have made a mistake in choosing you.' Nick thought as Danny left his view. He looked back at the city and muttered, "You have a city to protect and your kind just like I do."
Kurt slid down the stair railing and jumped onto the floor with a grin on his face. He looked around carefully and pulled the picture out of his back pocket. He teleported into the living room where Kitty and Aelita were watching the news and raised an eyebrow when he saw the television. "Vhy are you guys watching da news?" He asked curiously.
"There's nothing on." Kitty told him before turning the tv off making Aelita sigh in relief. "What are you up to?" She asked as the two look at Kurt.
Kurt held the picture up with a smile on his face. "I got the photo printed out for you guys to see."
Aelita snatched the photo out of Kurt's hand and smirked when she saw Danny and Rogue kissing in the photo. "Well, it's about time." She said as Kitty glanced over Aelita's shoulder to see the photo.
"Nice, like, when did you take this picture?" Kitty asked with a sly smile.
Kurt turned his back to the girls with a smirk on his face. "Sorry Kitty, but I don't plan on revealing dat information unless you go out on a date vith me."
Kitty looked back at the picture then back at Kurt. "Nah, it's not worth it." She said waving it off making Kurt stumble a bit in surprise.
Kurt groaned as the girls giggled. "You really know how to hurt my ego. Just make sure neither Danny nor Rogue see zat picture." He told them before teleporting out of the room.
Kurt landed in the hanger just in time to see Danny, Logan, and Professor Xavier enter the hanger. He hid himself behind something and listened to what they were talking about. "I'm not too sure about this recruitment mission." Logan said feeling a bit uneasy.
Charles looked at Logan as Danny led the three in the hanger. "I'm not too crazy with the whole thing myself, Logan, but she was going to reveal her mutant powers." Charles reminded his friend.
"Her mutant powers are not even that high maintenance to even be like a mutant. Aura readers are not even mutants to begin with." Logan countered.
Charles sighed, "I know, but she has the x gene, and it is activated and revealed that she can read people's auras and talk to animals."
"Wow." Kurt muttered in surprise.
"Then why do I get a feeling this is going to be a bad idea?" Logan asked.
Danny stopped at the Blackbird and looked back at the two. "I know you get worried when it comes to Nick Fury giving me missions, Logan." Danny started to explain.
Logan crossed his arms and pointed at Danny. "He sent you out to France to recruit a girl around the same time Hydra happened to be there."
Danny scratched the back of his neck and smiled nervously, "Well, he did tell me that Hydra was planning on capturing her to use her father's work for evil purposes."
"We'll worry about that later." Charles said interrupting the argument Logan started. "Right now, talk with the girl and see if she is willing to join us. She doesn't have to if she doesn't need to."
Danny nodded and went into the cock pit of the Blackbird. He walked through the main seating area of the jet then sat down in the pilot's seat. He started everything up not hearing anything besides the engine of the Blackbird. The hanger door opened, and Danny looked out the window giving the men a nod of his head before flying off to his location.
Charles intertwined his fingers and muttered, "Be careful Danny." He turned back around as Logan closed the hanger door. Neither of them noticed Kurt stowaway onto the Blackbird for the trip.
Tony Stark finished putting the codes into the supercomputer and smiled as everything came up and running. "At last, the machine is fully operational for me to input the codes to create the virtual world created by Franz Hopper." He said happily as he grabbed the book Aelita made and gave him. He opened it up to the last few pages and sighed when he saw what was there. He closed the book and smirked, "I guess she didn't want me to change anything in the programming."
"Is there a problem sir?" Jarvis asked as Tony put the book down.
"Yeah, it seems Aelita didn't trust me enough to rebuild Lyoko that way her father made it." Tony told his A.I.
"In her defense, she doesn't know you enough to give you that authority since it is her father's work."
Tony intertwined his fingers beneath his chin in thought. "I understand that Jarvis. In order for me to even understand Lyoko I need to create it, but I guess she figured I would make a few changes to the way it looked."
"Do you want me to make a phone call to Aelita, sir?" Jarvis asked.
Tony leaned back in the chair and put his hands behind his head. "You might as well Jarvis. I can't get the virtual world to work until it's created." He told his A.I.
"I'll make the call and tell her that it is ready for her to put in the rest of the programing, sir."
"You do that." He got up from the seat and looked at the two scanners leaning against the wall. "Now, all I have to do is reconnect the scanners and create them to be used wirelessly for her and her friends." He looked over the parts on the table and grabbed his welding mask. "Jarvis, once you're done with that call. I'm going to need you to bring up the schematics for those new scanners I'm going to design."
"I'll take care of it, sir"
Aelita closed her phone and smiled, "Well, he kept his end of the deal. Now I just need Danny to give me a ride to the building." She heard a door open and close as she got out of the living room. She looked around and saw Logan heading to the garage. "Hey Logan, have you seen Danny? I need him to give me a ride."
Logan glanced back at Aelita and asked, "Where did you need to go?"
"Tony finished everything I gave him so I could finish the final touches to the project." She told him honestly.
Logan raised an eyebrow. "Okay, why does Phantom have to drive you?"
"He's the only one who knows what the project is." She stated with a slight wince knowing she was going to be questioned about the project.
Logan messaged his forehead with his thumb and index finger and muttered, "Everyone needs Phantom for something." He sighed and removed his hand from his head. "He's out on a recruitment mission for certain safety reasons."
Aelita looked down and sighed, "Oh well, I guess that I'll be driving Danny's truck then." She pulled Danny's keys out of her pocket and went to the garage only for Logan to stop her by putting his hand on her shoulder.
"You don't even have a driver's license." Logan snatched the keys from her hand and walked to the garage with her following. "I'll take you there, but you will have to explain everything on the way."
Aelita shrugged and muttered, "Well, Danny did say it would be wise for us to tell someone about this so it wouldn't be too suspicious."
Danny put the controls to auto pilot and sighed in boredom. 'I'm glad the flight will only be another ten minutes, but I wish I didn't come alone.' He thought when he heard a noise behind him. He got up from his seat and walked to the back of the Blackbird.
Kurt winced when he hit his head on the top of the compartment he was hiding in. He heard the sliding door open and looked up at Danny who was staring at him with a raised eyebrow. "Uh, hey Danny, how's it going?" He asked nervously.
"Kurt, why are you hiding the storage compartment of the Blackbird instead of being at the Institute?" Danny asked his friend as Kurt got out of the storage compartment.
Kurt chuckled nervously, "I overheard your mission to recruit someone zat can see people's auras and talk to animals." He rubbed the back of his neck nervously and continued, "I thought it would be a nice experience to come along and help you recruit her."
Danny sighed and walked back to the pilot seat. "Fine, but we're going to tell the Professor what happened when we get back."
Kurt teleported onto the other pilot seat and asked, "How much longer do we have until da Blackbird lands?"
"Ten minutes, give or take." Danny said as he sat down in the other seat.
"Vell, vat do you plan on saying ven we see da girl and her family?" Kurt asked as the two buckled into their seats.
"I'll wing it." Danny stated simply making Kurt chuckle.
A few minutes later Danny landed the Blackbird in a clearing part of the forest. Danny phased through the floor of the Blackbird, and Kurt teleported to the ground next to Danny when he got on the ground. The two walked through the forest and stopped when they saw a house in the middle of the forest. "When Fury said that this place was isolated he wasn't kidding." Danny muttered.
"Wow, zat is weird." Kurt muttered in surprise.
Johnny 13 stood in the forest a few feet away hiding in the shadows. He watched the two leave and grabbed his phone. He pressed the number on the screen and started to talk. "I followed that Fenton boy like you told me to. It seems he's recruiting some girl to join their group." He told the man on the phone.
"Hm, I see." The man said not liking what was going on. "Make sure the recruiting fails. We do not need Daniel to have more allies."
"You got it." Johnny ended the conversation then looked at the house. "Well, I might want to see where this is going before making my entrance." He disappeared into the shadows and moved his way over to the house to listen in on everyone not knowing that something had followed him.
Dawn was sitting on the platform in the tree her father built for her when she felt some unfamiliar auras nearby. She looked in the direction she felt the auras come from. "Hm, I wonder who could be here at a time like this. I doubt this has anything to do with Total Drama." Dawn got up on her feet then climbed down the ladder. She walked for a couple minutes and stopped when she saw the Blackbird in the middle of an open area in the forest. She looked over it a bit and tapped her chin. "Hm, those auras I felt must have gone to my house." She muttered turning around as a bird flew down on her shoulder.
The bird chirped a couple times making her raise an eyebrow. "One of them had blue hair? How does someone have blue hair?" She wondered as the bird chirped a couple more times. "The other one had black hair and blue eyes. Wait, you felt that you could trust this guy?" She asked looking at the bird. The bird chirped happily. "Hm, that makes this even more interesting to know what their auras are like." The bird chirped a couple more times with a worried look on its face. "Someone was following them, and he didn't seem so nice?" She tapped her chin. "Hm, it seems something is going on, but it doesn't seem good." The bird chirped in agreement then flew off towards her house with her following it.
Aelita walked through the building of Stark Industries and stopped when she saw Jan walk up to her. "Hey Aelita, where's Danny?" She asked the pink haired teen.
"He's out on a mission that Nick Fury gave him." Aelita told the brunette.
"How did you get here then?" Jan asked feeling a bit confused.
"I had Wolverine drive me, but he decided it would be better for him not to get involved with all of this." Aelita told her. She put her hands together behind her back as she and Jan started to walk through the hall.
Jan crossed her arms and frowned, "He never did seem interested in anything dealing with electronics. You can't blame him for that."
Aelita shrugged, "True, but I was hoping he would at least see the supercomputer before heading off on his own." The two head into the elevator and have it go down the building into the basement.
Jan looked at Aelita and asked, "What did Lyoko look like when your father had it built?"
Aelita closed her eyes and smiled as the image appeared in her head. "There were five sectors. My father created four of the sectors to represent a habitat. There was the desert sector, the mountain sector, the forest sector, and the ice sector. The fifth sector has no actual element to get its own name, but we called it Sector 5 or fifth sector. We called it the Cortex later since it was the center core of Lyoko."
Jan blinked and smiled, "It sounds fascinating. I can't wait to see it."
Aelita made the holographic image of Lyoko come up in front of them making Jan stare at it in surprise. "This is what it will look like when I do the programming to recreate Lyoko. I'm still a bit confused on certain things when it came to my father's programming, but I'm certain I could make Lyoko better than it was." She sighed as she made the hologram disappear. "I still don't know how my father programmed it into existence."
"He never told you?"
"I didn't even know its existence until he made me go to Lyoko." Aelita started to explain with a distant look in her eyes. "The day I went to Lyoko for the first time was when my father and I were running from government agents. My father created Lyoko and a virus to destroy a weapon known as Carthage, but the virus turned on us and made my father unable to have a physical form on Lyoko." Jan gasped in surprise as Aelita's hair made a dark look come over her face. "My father lost the men chasing us and got the supercomputer to shut off with us inside of Lyoko. This incident made me have amnesia for quite some time after I woke up."
"Wait, how did your father turn that machine off with both of you inside of it? I mean the voice command or whatever hasn't been invented back then." Jan pointed out.
Aelita glanced up at Jan and said, "My father's tech was a bit advanced, but you're right about the voice modulator. He used one of the towers that allow us to use any machine or electronic in the real world, or I'm guessing he did. My memory is still foggy with everything that happened back then."
The elevator bell dings, and the doors open for them to see the supercomputer's command center. "Oh wow, it's bigger than I thought." Jan muttered in surprise.
"That's the main monitor where Aelita will finish the programming in creating Lyoko." Tony said as he walked away from the table where he was creating the new scanners. He wiped his hands with the rag nearby and asked, "What do you think of it Aelita?"
Aelita glanced at Tony and smiled, "It looks like just what my father had built it. Is everything completely ready for me to program Lyoko?"
Tony shrugged, "I might have built it and put the programming in the supercomputer, but you're the only one able to finish the diagnostics on it to know if Lyoko can be reprogrammed."
Aelita made a holographic scanner come over her left eye and smirked, "I better get to work then."
Danny stared at the two adults in front of him sitting on the couch while they had their heads down whispering to each other. He glanced at his friend Kurt to see Kurt standing there in thought. He looked back at the couple and asked, "Did you guys know about her revealing her powers?"
The father cleared his throat and answered, "She actually made two video audition tapes. The first one was what she had planned without revealing her powers."
"We didn't think it would do much harm with her revealing her powers; so me made her make a second tape with her revealing her abilities and had it sent to the Total Drama community to see if she would get on the show." The mother finished making the two sigh in relief.
"Well, at least dey got a good reason." Kurt muttered as he sat himself down in one of the chairs.
"We never knew there were more people like her." The father started to explain but stopped when Danny put his hand up.
"Relax Mr. Moon, we're not here to punish you guys or anything like that, but we did stop a catastrophe from happening." Danny told them making the parents sigh in relief. "I'll be honest with you guys. I'm not that great of a motivational speaker, but where Kurt and I come from is a school where we can learn to harness our power to full control."
"Are you asking us if we will allow our daughter to join your school?" The mother asked curiously.
"Now listen here. I will thank you guys for stopping something bad from happening, but there is no way I am letting my daughter join a school of…"
"Now dear, we came out here to the country to keep Dawn away from civilization to protect her." The mother interrupted her husband. "We gave a lot of things up to protect her. I bet these boys have gone through a lot as well to get into their positions."
Mr. Moon sighed and leaned back on the couch with his arms crossed. "Fine, I'll listen to what you have to say."
Kurt leaned forward in his seat and said, "Professor Xavier started da school to help mutants to have better control of zeir powers. He took me in despite vat I look like."
"He took me in even though I was homeless." Danny added making the couple stare at them in surprise. "He doesn't care about our past or what has happened, but he cares about us and the world. He wants mutants and humans to be at peace with each other and not to fight for who is better."
Mr. Moon at Danny and asked, "Did he take more than just the two of you?"
Kurt nodded, "Yes, zere are at least eight of us right now."
"To be honest, I still do not like the idea of having my daughter living somewhere else especially near the city." Mr. Moon told them with a serious look in his eyes.
"It's partially our fault for never letting her go and meet other people who don't have powers like she does." Mrs. Moon told them. "We feared that people would hate her and want nothing to do with her at her young age. Over time we started to think differently and hoped that people would not look at he like she's a monster."
Kurt glanced at Danny who sighed in sadness. "Her powers developed when she was little and became a part of her normal nature. She started to read our auras when she was only seven, and her talking to animals appeared a year later." The father told them. "We feared the worse at the time and brought her here."
'Well, at least you accepted her for what she has.' Danny thought with a sad smile.
Their conversation stopped when they heard the front door open. Everyone looked at the door to see Dawn entering the house. She closes the door behind her and walks into the living room to see everyone looking at her. "What's going on here?" She asked curiously.
"We're talking the video your father and I had you create revealing your powers." She told her daughter truthfully.
"Are they here to pick me up for Total Drama Revenge of the Island?" She asked feeling the dread that they were not.
Her father got up from his seat and walked up to her. "No Dawn, a secret organization got their hands on your video and gave it to these boys. They came here to tell us what could have happened if you went on the show."
"My tea leaves didn't say anything bad was going to happen." Dawn told her parents calmly. "They only said I would win a lot of money."
"Do her powers work to make her seem like a psychic or something?" Kurt asked Danny in a whisper.
Danny shrugged, "Eh, they might, but we don't have her powers to even know if she's telling the truth."
"Dad, what's going on?" Dawn asked not liking where this was going.
Danny got up from his seat and cleared his throat. "Dawn, my name is Danny Fenton, and the video you sent to that reality tv show revealed some things that could probably go bad if you ended up showing your mutant powers to the whole world."
Dawn stared at Danny for a couple seconds then asked, "Why does your aura make me feel warm and safe?"
"Say what now?" Danny asked raising an eyebrow in confusion.
"Your aura, it has the warm feeling that makes me know I should trust you, but it seems you went through some dark things as well."
"Uh…" Danny closed his mouth having no idea what to say to that.
"I can't tell what your dark story is, but I'm not going to push it since it is your past." Dawn finished making Danny blink a couple times. "Your friend's aura feels light and airy with a small amount of a dark past."
Kurt raised an eyebrow, "Why does zat make it seem bad?"
"I also see that his aura shows how jealous he is of you and a few others."
Danny looked back at Kurt who smiled nervously, "Okay, I'm a bit jealous of your powers, but vho couldn't be jealous of your powers? You have more mutant powers dan any mutant is known to have."
Danny scratched his head in confusion and turned his attention to Dawn. "As you can see by our auras, we came here to see if you would come to the Institute to harness your powers and have better control over them."
"Actually, Dawn already has control over her powers." Mrs. Moon said before Dawn could say anything. "The only downside is that she never had any friends growing up so she never had much of any social skills with anyone." She got up from her seat and looked at her husband who nodded in agreement. "We'll accept the invitation for our daughter to join you guys at the Institute."
"Yeah, like I'll let that happen." They heard someone say before a shadow shot its way to Dawn.
Kurt noticed the shadow and teleported between her and the shadow. He teleported away after grabbing her arm and landed a few yards away from the house. "Oh man, zat was close." Dawn stared at Kurt in surprise as Kurt pressed a button on his watch making him go back to his blue furry form. Her eyes widen when she saw his original look. Kurt looked at her and asked, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, but how did you…?"
"I'm a teleporter. You'll find out zat my friends and I have different powers." Kurt told her as Johnny came out of the shadows of a tree.
"Ah, there you are. Imagine my surprise that you could teleport." Johnny said giving Kurt an angry glare.
Kurt got into a battle stance and glared at the blond haired teen. "Dude, who are you, and vhy are you here?"
"The name's Johnny." Johnny answered pointing at himself. "I'm only here to make sure you and your friend fail at making the girl go with you guys to that place where the rest of your friends are at." He made two giant black hands appear out of the shadows and smirked, "I hope you guys like the dark."
The two gasp and take a few steps back in surprise and fear. Kurt narrowed his eyebrows and muttered, "Find my friend and get to da Blackbird."
"You're kidding right?" Dawn asked not liking the situation.
Kurt glanced at her and nodded, "Go before he sends more of zose dark shadows after us."
Dawn nodded and ran off leaving the two guys alone in front of the house. "You really expect me to think that you can hold me off for your friend to get her on the plane with all of her stuff packed?" Johnny laughed at what just happened. "This fight will be over in under a minute even if you are a teleporter."
Kurt leaned forward and put his right hand on the ground. "You better not underestimate me. I might be a teleporter, but…" He teleported and appeared above Johnny, "I'm a bit cleverer zan you dink."
Johnny shot one of his giant shadow hands up at Kurt. Kurt bounced off from being grabbed and teleported in front of Johnny with his fist cocked back. "Oh crud." Johnny muttered before Kurt's fist hit him right in the face.
"We are not some mutants who have just learned how to start using zeir powers and abilities." Kurt told the shadow user.
"Then I might as well kick it up a notch." Johnny said covering the whole ground with his shadows. "What you are about to see is something no one has ever escaped."
"Yeah, like zat will happen." Kurt got into his battle stance on both of his hands then teleported away onto a tree branch.
Johnny made small shadow hands come out of the ground and shoot up after Kurt. Kurt ran through the forest by dodging every shadow hand Johnny shot out at him. He landed on the ground and ducked under two hands shooting at him. He pushed both shadows to the side and jumped to avoid two more shadow hands coming at him from below. He swung himself around to be on his feet on the tree branch he grabbed then teleported to another tree to avoid some more shadows trying to grab him.
Johnny growled angrily and had more of his hands shoot up after Kurt from different directions. 'Let's see you get out of this.' He thought pushing his hand out to have his shadows grab Nightcrawler.
Nightcrawler landed on top of a tree house making look around for a quick escape. 'Where could I…There we go!' He teleported to a certain spot he saw just barely avoiding the shadows that crashed into the tree house.
Kurt found himself in the middle of a very dark part of the forest. He noticed the sun was blocked in this certain area and glanced around. "Better hope zis works." He muttered before jumping into the shadows keeping himself from being seen.
Johnny walked into the dark part of the forest and chuckled, "Are you so stupid to believe that you can hide from me in my own domain? I'm the master of the shadows. I can find you no problem." He made his shadows shoot out to find and grab Nightcrawler but frowned when he couldn't feel Kurt's presence with his shadows. 'My shadows can feel people's energy whether they hide in the shadows or not. How can someone like him hide his presence? The only types of mutant my shadows can't track are demons, but he can't possibly be…' Johnny's thoughts stop when he heard a noise behind him.
Johnny had his shadows shoot out in the direction of the noise only to find nothing. "You say zat you are da master of da shadows." Kurt said making Johnny look around with narrowed eyebrow. "But it seems you are having some trouble finding me."
"I can find you no problem in this kind of terrain. My shadows can track people's heat signatures and lock onto them no problem."
Nightcrawler chuckled, "Zat may be true, but it seems to be having some hard time catching me. Maybe you can clear zat up?"
Johnny growled, "Shut up! There is no way that a mutant like you can be a demon. Demon type mutants are rare and are way harder to beat than you are."
Kurt smirked, "Oh, I see. Your powers can't lock on to demon signatures. Zat actually is good to hear." Kurt lowered himself down and hung on the branch using his tail. He swung his fist back and said, "Peek-a-boo!"
Johnny turned around and felt the punch to his face. He flew back and hit a tree with a groan. Johnny growled angrily and had the shadows make two swords pop out of the ground beside him. Johnny picked the swords up and got up on his feet wiping off the little trail of blood from a cut Kurt made from the punch. "That's it. I won't be going so easy on you now!" He shot his shadow tendrils out after Nightcrawler. Kurt teleported out of the way of the shadow tendrils and appeared behind Johnny. He grabbed Johnny's coat and teleported away from the spot into a tree. He teleported into another tree then again into the opening of the back yard of the Moon's house.
"You are such a fool for believing you could defeat me." Johnny said starting to feel his energy being drained all of a sudden.
Kurt tossed Johnny out into the clearing and watched as Johnny dropped the two swords onto the ground when he landed on his stomach. Kurt grabbed the two swords off the ground and looked at the exhausted Johnny. "My teleportation can drain people of their energy if I use it too many times." Kurt told the shadow user. "I learned zat from training."
Johnny tried to get up onto his feet and felt the exhaustion Kurt's teleporting has done to his body. 'Darn it, his teleportation drains people of their energy. Now I wish I didn't use my shadows too much against this guy.' Johnny thought as he got back onto his feet. "I'm not done with you yet!"
Kurt gripped the swords and gritted hit teeth. 'Why is zis guy being so persistent vid stopping us?' He thought. "Vat have we ever done to you?"
Johnny grinned, "I don't need a reason, but my employer doesn't want that girl joining you guys, and I will make sure that happens!" He shot shadow tendrils out at Nightcrawler.
Nightcrawler ran at Johnny then teleported behind Johnny right before the tendrils could touch him. He hit Johnny on the back of the neck with the hilt of the sword and watched Johnny fall to the ground unconscious. "I vill never understand why zere are some of you who vant to hurt us." Nightcrawler said with a sigh. He teleported away leaving Johnny unconscious on the ground.
Someone walked up to the blond teen lying on the ground and chuckled, "Your power is impressive and is something that has caught my attention." The man picked the teen up and walked away from the area disappearing into the forest.
Kurt landed right outside the Blackbird with a sigh of relief. He dropped the swords and looked at his hands. 'I won, but it didn't feel like a win.' He thought turning his head up to the sky.
"Hey Kurt," Kurt looked over at Danny who was walking up to him, "where's the attacker?"
Kurt pointed back at the house. "I knocked him out and left him alone in da forest."
Danny smiled and pointed back at Dawn who was running up to them. "Well, I think you got someone worried about you facing on someone like that guy."
Kurt chuckled and elbowed Danny playfully. "I get your point, but we need to talk to da Professor ven we get back." Kurt finished with a serious tone.
Danny nodded, "Agreed." Danny glanced back at Dawn then back at Kurt. "I think you can handle things from here. I'll get the Blackbird ready for takeoff." Danny walked away from Kurt and went into the Blackbird.
Kurt glanced at Dawn and smiled nervously as she stopped a few feet in front of him. "Hey, uh…" Kurt trailed off as Dawn just raised an eyebrow at him.
"Why did you risk your life to save mine?" She asked feeling curious.
Kurt gave her a small smile and grabbed the swords off the ground. "We're mutants, and we're supposed to protect each other. It's vhat we're taught at the Institute." He tossed one of the swords over his shoulder and caught it with his tail. "Well, zat and we're not supposed to kill or to hurt anyone, but zat is going to be hard to avoid."
"Well, thank you…Uh, you never gave me your name."
Kurt rubbed the back of his neck with a sheepish smile. "Oh yeah, I'm Kurt Wagner, but in the uniform I'm known as Nightcrawler."
"Thank you Kurt or Nightcrawler." Dawn said with a smile.
Kurt smiled back then looked at Dawn's parents as they were walking up to them. "I'll leave you to say goodbye to your parents." He teleported into the Blackbird and put the swords up in a storage locker kept in the Blackbird.
Danny turned around in the pilot seat and raised an eyebrow at Kurt. "So you're really going to be taking those swords?" Danny asked his friend.
Kurt looked at Danny and nodded, "Ja, I think it should help me vith my fighting style."
Danny's raised eyebrow went a little higher. "How did you even beat the guy? He seemed more experienced and powerful than you."
Kurt turned his head back to the swords leaning against the side of the locker. "Danny, ven we first met did you ever believe I vas a demon?"
Danny crossed his arms and chuckled, "Dude, you're talking to a guy who can turn into a ghost, which still feels weird coming out of my mouth." He leaned back in the chair and glanced out the window. "My point is that I never knew you so I had no reason to judge you not until I got to know you."
"Good point, but I vas shocked when you revealed to be part ghost." Kurt told his friend as he closed the locker.
Danny chuckled, "Yeah, so were Jean and Scott…and Kitty…and Rogue…" Danny blinked a couple times then scratched his head. "Now that I think of it, I think everyone was shocked that my mutant ability connected me to the supernatural part with ghosts."
"Ja, I cannot seem to argue vid zat, but…" Kurt looked down the hatch to see Dawn walking up the walkway. "We should worry about zis later."
"Oh, is Kurt crushing on the new girl?" Danny teased with a smirk on his face.
Kurt glanced at Danny and raised an eyebrow. "Since when do you tease people about our relationships?"
"I do it with Scott and Jean all the time."
"You got to get me involved vid zat sometime." The two guys chuckle at the idea of teasing Jean and Scott then turn their attention to Dawn as she entered the Blackbird. "Are you ready to go?" Kurt asked her.
Dawn looked at Kurt and nodded, "I am."
"Let's get going then." Danny said turning around in the pilot seat as Kurt and Dawn got themselves into their seats as Danny started the Blackbird. He glanced back at Kurt and smirked when he saw his friend sit across from Dawn. 'Hm, I actually will have some fun with this later on if anything actually starts to happen of course.' He thought turning his attention back to the front.
Aelita brought up the core of Lyoko on her screen and continued typing in the codes for the core. Tony continued watching in amazement as the girl's speed in putting in the source codes and looked at the holographic compartment where the core of Lyoko was in view. "How do we know when the core is in full function?" He asked her curiously.
Aelita stretched her arms out with a grunt then looked at the core carefully as she moved her hands back onto the keyboard. "We'll know once I program the Cortex part of Lyoko." She told him as she continued typing.
"Sir, Reed Richards is on the line for you."
"Great, Jarvis, put him on at my desk." Tony walked away from the work table and sat down in his chair at his work desk.
Aelita glanced back at Tony then pressed 'enter' when he answered the call. She turned back to the screen and watched as the Cortex covered the core completely and smiled when she saw the four sectors sprout out from the four sides of the Cortex. "Ah, it's done." She muttered happily. She looked over the details on the holograph from the machine and smiled as she saw it acting like it normally would.
She grabbed her phone and brought the video part up. She moved the contacts down to Danny and pressed the 'call' button. She heard the phone ring a couple times then smiled when she saw Danny's face come up on the screen. "Hey Danny, I just finished the programming for Lyoko." She told him.
"That's good to hear Aelita, but I'm still on the Blackbird flying it back to the Institute with Kurt and our new friend." Danny told her.
"Did they hear me?" She asked cautiously.
Danny shook his head. "Nah, they're too busy talking to each other right now." He glanced back at the two then back at Aelita. "So yeah, we're on our way back, but Kurt and I are going to need to talk with the Professor."
"What happened this time?" Aelita asked with a small sigh.
"We were attacked by a mutant that could control shadows." He told her looking her dead in the eye. "Kurt defeated him and left him behind, but he never told us how he won."
Aelita smiled at her friend. "That's good to hear." She glanced back at Tony then back at her friend. "When should you guys be back?"
"I say we'll be back in an hour tops, but it could be less. Do you want me to come see the supercomputer?" Danny asked curiously not noticing the two in the jet were now listening in on the conversation.
"It would be nice if you could come see it. I'm still finalizing everything right now to make sure everything is alright, but I cannot go into Lyoko until Tony finishes the scanners." She leaned back in the chair with a sigh. "I was hoping those would have been done as well."
"Well, I'll try to get there whenever I get the chance." Danny assured her. "Unfortunately, Kurt and I have to talk with the Professor when we get back."
"Then you'll have to see it another time then." Aelita sighed when she said that. "Life has to be so cruel at times."
Danny shrugged, "Eh, I take what I can get." He glanced back at Kurt and Dawn and sighed when he saw them staring at him. "I'll talk to you later."
Aelita smiled, "Yeah, I'll finish up what I got left and see you guys back at the Institute." The two hung up and went back to their normal business.
Kurt and Dawn look at each other then back at Danny. "Hey Danny…"
"Kurt, don't tell anyone about the conversation Aelita and I just had. We'll tell you about the project later." Danny interrupted his friend. He glanced back at them and muttered, "I'm not the one who should be telling you guys about it anyway."
"If it has to do with electronics then you can leave me out of it." Dawn told Danny. "I prefer nature so this project is not something I need to know about. Plus, it'll make you feel not as guilty about the whole situation."
"Let's just hope zings go smoothly wid da Professor." Kurt told them as Danny flew the Blackbird to the Institute.
To be continued…
Yeah, I know. Not one of the best cliffhangers for a continuation, but I did not want this chapter to be extremely long. I decided to make it get cut down into two parts since there is so much going on this time. Logan does know about the project, and Kurt will be told about it. Kurt might join Danny and Aelita in searching for the parts of her dad and Jeremy.
Dawn is from Total Drama. If you did not know that, then there you go. Dawn will keep her powers given to her from the show and might have an important role. I'm still not completely sure yet. Anyway, her pairing if you already guessed it might be with Kurt, but it is not going to be right away since it will be a growing relationship before they get together.
Johnny 13 has control over shadows and can make them into any physical form to hurt people. He can track anyone's heat signature with his shadows unless it has something to do with angels or demons. This means that Kurt could not be tracked by the shadows. If you are wondering why I made Kurt part demon, it is because it is a part of his origin in the original x-men series. I'm not sure if I would include the siblings from his father side though.
Anyway, I hoped you guys enjoyed the chapter, and part 2 will come up when I can finish it. R&R
