They appeared in a flash of blue light and landed into the well known town square, except now it was unrecognizable. The once shining statue of the famous town mayor now lay in parts in the flattened flower beds, and the benches were broken in two and strew around the floor. Bobby heard Jhon give a small gulp of fear at the large footprints carved into the stone cement. "Woah who did this?" asked Alison her eyes were wide with shock. "I don't want to know" replied Jhon his voice was shaking. But before they could respond a whistling sound sped through the air and a second later Bobby was knocked off his feet by what seemed to be a blue and black cannonball, but after clambering up gasping for breath the cannonball streaked to a stop and folded out to be a small ginger haired boy. He had a proud smirk painted on his face. "And you are?" asked Alison trying to sound cool but failing miserably, "The names Cannonball, and you must be one of the X-teens, must i say your looking delightful today" he replied in a heavy Australian accent. "who is this guy, a human ping pong ball?" said Bobby looking frustrated at what Cannonball had just said. "'This guy' is a member of the Brotherhood" came a drawling voice from behind them, they whipped round and Bobby felt Cannonball whizz past his ear. In front of him stood a band of the most shabbiest gang of people Bobby had ever seen, leading the brisk walk towards them was a tall skinny red haired girl, her hair was darker then Cannonball's, her clothes were torn in places. Behind her stood a large boulder, well at first glance anyway, the thing was a cement grey and his features look oddly like they were carved. Beside Cannonball was the most shabbiest and ugliest of them all, it had khaki green hair covered by a dirty beanie, and a pale brown skin color but Bobby was sure it was just its dirtiness, but the most sickening thing of all were not its filthy finger nails or foul smell but its long slimy green tongue produting from its mouth, flopping around. "Errr ok, was it possibly you that made this mess?" asked Bobby puffing out his chest. "Yeah we did got a problem? Or are you gona try 'n stop us" giggled the girl in front, the others laughed as well and gave her a respectful look, it was obvious she was boss. "Well yeah we are, you can't just go crazy when ever you want and trash everything" said Jhon his voice was slightly harder now but his face was back to green. "Don't talk to me like you can tell me what to do, Us Brotherhood do what we want. So back off or we'll make you" she snarled, the boulder creature behind her cracked its knuckles offensively. "Right stop now or we'll have to-" but we was drowned out by the red haired girl, "Boulder shut him up" she commanded. The grey heap jumped exceptionally high and fast for the look of it, met with the ground and ran forwards waving its fists, "X-teens defend" cried Bobby, he tensed his muscles up and felt the familiar wave of cold sweep up him. He looked down and saw his body become covered with the ice 'armour' that creeped up him when he became 'Iceman'. He saw Kilo smash into Boulder through the sudden extreme light. He sped forwards ducking as Cannonball shot over him, Beside him he heard magma shriek, and turning saw her face covered with a green slime. "Here stay still, just stay still" he said rushing over, he sprayed the slime with a layer of ice and then broke it off. "Iceman behind you" he saw the look of revulsion on Magma's face and swung round, with his ice hard fist bared, it collided with the green tongued monster. He heard the red head shout: "Toad you idiot its a moving piece of ice, stop it" Toad stood up looking furious and yelled over to the girl who was throwing hand fulls of a floaty substance that exploded making a array of sparkling lights. As he jumped up to dodge Iceman he shouted "you try then Dazzler" he then swore again, and sent his tongue flying round Iceman's face. "guys lets wrap this up pretty quick" Iceman shouted over the roar of Boulder and Kilo who were wrestling on the floor, it seemed Jhon became a lot more confident when fighting. But they needed help to finish this fast, and Ric still hadn't showed up, the alert would have activated his X-intercom and showed the location. Then he saw a familiar flash of green light and a lime green hammer whistled past his ear, and with a sickening crunch slammed into Cannonball's head. He saw the blur of Ric rush past him, and looked round, All of his fellow team members were in a raging battle with one of the Brotherhood. Kilo and Boulder were throwing heavy punches at each other, well at least Kilo was, his limbs glowed a dark blue when he was channeling or changing weight. Alison was matching Dazzler's balls of light with her own small magma orbs. And Sorb and Toad were in hand to hand combat with each other, until Toad was
thrown back by a large mind-made cricket bat. He was bought back to his senses when Cannonball slammed into his back, he spun round and sent some Ice shards in his direction, they all hit but he still clambered up and smashed into Bobby's stomach. Thanks to his Ice 'armor' it didn't do as much damage as intended but all the same it still left him breathless again. "thats it this little golf ball is getting on my nerves" said Bobby through gritted teeth, and he sent a large beam of ice which froze Cannonball solid, well his head and shoulders anyway. He sped over to Sorb and sent a horde of Ice shards at Toad, he caught them in his filthy tongue and sent right back. Sorb sent all sorts of tools over his shoulder and grabbed a fistful of statue, "Getting low on mind juice" he muttered at Bobby. Then he jumped up and sent chains hurling at Toad, and in a loud THUD Toad lay chained to a tree. He heard a roar of triumph from behind them, and Kilo was raising his arms in glory, and Boulder lay behind him. But suddenly in a blink of an eye Boulder jumped up, grabbed Kilo by his arms and swung him over his back, so that Kilo crunched into a small boulder. They both ran over to help Magma, who had now resorted to throwing melted bits of shining copper.
Now it was Boulder's turn to roar as Kilo struck him straight in the back with his elbow, leaving Boulder unconscious on the floor, a trickle of blood ran down his face. "You blundering idiots" Dazzler hissed to her fallen comrades, she whispered something into the ear piece she had and they all vanished in a puff of red smoke from each of there belts. "What where'd they go? I was going to cream their butts" said Bobby who was red in the face. "Professor the mutants are gone" said Jhon beside him into his own ear piece, "ok I'll bring you back now" Bobby heard Prof. X speak into his buzzing ear piece, and in a tingling sensation and a blue light they returned back to the X-mansion.
