It is a hot sunny day on the Pacific Ocean off the Hawaiian Islands and there are surfers abound the waters catching the best waves they can. One of them is a seemingly normal blond haired surfer type boy named Alex Masters. He caught a very large wave and began to ride it. As he did he noticed some girls were watching and decided to show off. He began to hang ten, but as he kept his balance his hands began to hurt immensely. The pain causes him to lose his balance and he wipes out.
He washes up on shore with his board. "Woah what happened" he mumbled. His hands hurt so much. "Better go get these looked out" he said and picked up his board. His hands began to ache again causing him to drop his board. He stared at them and watched as a strange blast emitted from them and shattered the board. "What the heck, my board" Alex exclaimed. "This is totally weird," he said to himself.
He noticed other people had heard the board get shattered. "Better go find a place to chill" he muttered and ran off. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As this is happening thousands of miles to the east in Bayville New York, in the depths of the Xavier Institute Cerebro detects this new emerging mutant and it's alarm goes off. Charles Xavier was reading in his study and immediately went down to the Cerebro room. He put on the head device and scanned for the location, finding out the boy was from Hawaii and his name was Alex Masters. Upon further investigation he found out the boy was adopted from a Nebraska orphanage, with a familiar name. "That's the same one Scott is from" Xavier said. He then found out the boys original last name, Summers. "Oh my that's Scott's brother. I must summon him at once' Xavier told himself and searched the mansion for Scott.
Meanwhile Scott was in the danger room getting out his frustrations with some target practice. Over the last few days he had kept his distance from the other X-Men, ever since Carol beat him. They had a few training sessions under her leadership and he had to admit she wasn't half bad and that's what made him even angrier. That and the whole team just sat there and accepted the change, even Bobby and Jean; he expected some loyalty from them. He ended up storming out on the last training session two days prior and since then avoided his teammates and spent most of his time training.
Of course a couple of them had tried to approach him. Bobby had come in and had the nerve to ask him what his problem was, like he had a problem. This of course led to an argument; luckily Kitty was there and had pulled Bobby away, muttering jerk about Scott as she walked him off. Kurt had come and tried to talk to him and almost had gotten through with him but when he told Scott he needed to relax, Scott told him to leave. When Jean had come Scott just blew her off completely, excusing her of betraying him even. She had to hold back tears and just left. Suddenly the doors opened it was Logan.
"So your still here good" Logan growled. "What is your problem kid" he frowned.
"Look I don't need this" Scott said as he continued to blast his targets, without even looking at Logan. "I just want to be left alone" he said.
Logan frowned and grabbed Scott by the collar. "You know what I actually don't care what your problem is Slim, but whatever it is don't you take it out on me, or any of your teammates including Jean" he said. "You were way out of line the way you talked to her before and your lucky I don't skewer you" he snapped.
Scott frowned and glared at Logan through his shades. He pulled himself off of Logan. "Look sorry I hurt her feelings but truth is she should of just left me alone, just like the others should have. I'm practically off the team as it is."
Logan shook his head. "Your acting ridiculous kid just cause what? A girl beat you?" he frowned.
"Shut up, it's more then that. It's about loyalty. I've worked hard and she just comes in a steals everything from me" he frowned.
"Give me a break kid. This is all about your ego. Well be a man and face the fact that there's always someone better then you, it's a part of life" he said.
"Don't call me kid" Scott frowned and was about to say something else when he heard something in his head.
"**Scott please meet me at Cerebro ASAP**" Xavier called out. "**It is of utmost importance" he said.
"Go" Logan said. "Maybe he'll knock some sense into you."
Scott just shook his head. "Coming professor" he said and left Logan. He walked out of the Danger room and down the hallway where he found the Professor waiting for him in Cerebro.
"Thank you for coming so quickly Scott" the Professor said. "I know you've been quite tense as of late" he said.
"Look Professor I'm sorry but please I am in no mood for another lecturer" Scott frowned.
"Nor do I wish to give one. I have actually called you here because I've found your brother Alex" he said and brought up the information on the Cerebro screen.
Scott looked both shocked and quite happy. "But how" Scott asked. "I thought he died in the jump from the plane?"
"Apparently not. It seems that he was sent to the same orphanage as you but was adopted while you were in a coma for a year" he said. "His last name was changed so paper work must have gotten lost that linked you two" he said.
"I understand. This is great" Scott smiled. "So where is he and when can I go see him. And I assume you found him because he's a mutant."
"He is in Hawaii, living under the name of Alex Masters. His powers emerged just this afternoon, they are similar to yours it seems" he said. "Be ready to leave in the morning."
Scott nodded. "Yes sir, of course" he said with excitement in his voice. This news had made his week. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But Charles Xavier is not the only one to detect this new mutant. Just across town in the attic of the Brotherhood House Emma Frost was operating a much cruder and small version of Cerebro. "What's this, a mutant with impressive power has emerged" She said to herself as she took the helmet off. "I must tell Magneto" she said then got up and headed down the stairs and then walked down the hall to another room.
Since arriving almost a week earlier Magneto had spent the majority of his time in a room upstairs. Sabretooth as usual was guarding it to keep Magneto from being disturbed. "What do you want Blondie" Sabretooth growled as he kept guard over Magneto's room.
Emma smiled. "I think that's the business of Magneto. Now if you will please get out of my way I would like to see him," she explained.
"Sorry my orders are that no one disturbs the boss" he said sternly. "And that includes you."
"This is very important news, and he must know" she said with determination in her eyes. She looked right at Sabretooth who looked right back at her with his own defiant glare until the door opened on it's own.
"Sabretooth let her pass" Magneto ordered from inside the room. Sabretooth begrudgingly agreed and Emma smirked at him before entering. "Now Emma this better be good news" he told her.
"Oh and it is my Lord" Emma nodded. "I have detected a new mutant in Hawaii, named Alex Masters. It seems he could be very powerful" she said.
Magneto smiled. "Powerful you say. Very good timing it seems, but I'm sure Charles knows as well. We set out early tomorrow" he told Emma. "Get me Mystique."
"Yes sir" Emma said and began to leave.
"And Emma..." he began to say.
"Yes" she asked.
"Good work" he told her and then let her leave. She had a very large smile on her face. After she had left Magneto sat in his make shift office for several more minutes before Mystique entered.
"You summoned me" she asked. "I ask are you ready to make the big move" she asked him.
"Yes I am," he said. "I have gotten word that my sanctuary is complete, now I must prepare it for those worthy to join me" he said. "You are to tell those boys that they must fight to show they belong as must you," he said.
"Yes sir" Mystique nodded biting her tongue. She was not too happy about having to prove herself as well. "And what of the Rogue" she asked.
"We have prepared her the best we can for her destiny now she must make her move. Tomorrow I want her upgrade completed," he said sternly. "No excuses. Now leave me" he told her. Mystique nodded and exited leaving the powerful mutant to his thoughts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning the X-Jet took off with Xavier and Scott aboard and Logan in the pilot's chair, just as the other X-Men were waking up. It was a weekend and since Logan wasn't there for training they all slept in. By late morning Jean had awoken, showered and dressed. She went down to the kitchen and realized all the other students were still asleep.
"Talk about lazy" she frowned as she made herself a cup of coffee. She walked over and looked out the window. "It's so quiet" she thought to herself when something caught her eye. "Hmm looks like maybe someone is up" she said then opened the kitchen door and walked outside.
She looked around to see who was outside. "Bobby is that you. Kitty, Kurt, Dani?" she called out as she continued to walk out on to the grounds.
She heard some ruffling in some bushes. "Real funny Bobby, but you're a little old for hide and seek" she said. "I guess I'm just going to have to use my telepathy" she said and began to scan the area. "Wait a minute, they're all in the mansion. Then who is that" she frowned.
"Me" Mystique said as she emerged from the bushes. "And what are you going to do about it" she challenged Jean.
Jean glared at Mystique. "You have no right to be here and now I am going to remove you" Jean said and lifted Mystique up with her TK. "I will send you flying if you don't get out of here" she threatened.
"Oh will you" Mystique grinned. "That's going to be hard when your past out" she said.
"What are you talking about" Jean demanded as she glared at Mystique. Her telepathy caught something and turned around. "Wait what the" She said when Rogue tackled her and with an ungloved hand touched Jean's face, causing her to pass out. A metal orb appeared out of the trees and opened up. A long arm came in and pulled Jean's body into it before closing and flying away fast into the sky.
"That's what I was talking about" Mystique said after she got up after being dropped. "Good work Rogue. Now that it's time for the main course, are you ready for her."
Rogue nodded. "Yes Mama I think so."
"Now remember don't let go till I say, we need to take it all" she said. "Now we wait for her to come to us."
Rogue nodded though seemed a bit unsure of herself.
Meanwhile Carol had come down to the kitchen to find that the door to the outside was open. "That's strange," she said to herself as she looked around. "That's Jean's coffee mug to and she just left it here, even stranger" she said. "Maybe she went outside" she thought and walked out to find her teammate. After walking a bit she saw Jean unconscious on the ground. "Jean" she yelled before running over. She looked her over. "What happened to you?"
"Ah did" a voice said and Carol looked up to see Rogue.
"You little witch" Carol frowned. "Well at least it will give me an opportunity to teach you a lesson" she said.
"Ah thought ah could get your attention this way, and ya'll won't be teaching anyone anything when ah'm done with ya" Rogue said then pointed her hand at Carol and pushed her back with TK.
"Guess you have Jean's powers" Carol frowned as she dusted herself off. "Well at least it will make it interesting" she said confidently then flew straight at Rogue and punched her in the stomach then kicked her and sent her flying.
Rogue groaned with pain, this was going to be harder then she thought but she had to beat this girl, she needed to get her revenge, among other things. She got herself up then levitated high into the air. "Ya'll want interesting, I'll show you interesting" Rogue snarled then lifted Carol up with her TK. She held her up and slammed her down toward the ground.
Carols powerful body made quite an imprint into the ground, but she got herself up after several seconds and looked mad. "You got me dirty, now I'm pissed" she frowned and flew up again stared Rogue right into the air. "Okay enough games, let's go."
"Let's" Rogue nodded and the two charged at each other. Carol threw punch after punch at Rogue who blocked them with her TK and pushed her back. Each time Carol would come back with more speed and thrust and each time Rogue would do her best to block it. Till finally Carol broke through and sent a barrage of punches at Rogue, hitting her in the stomach many times till she sent her flying down. Carol dove down and caught her by the collar of her shirt.
"Had enough" she asked.
"Yah I have" Rogue groaned. "Had enough of you" she said then snapped her bare hands on to Carols face and began to drain her. Carol tried to resist but Rogue held on tight, both felt the energy leaving Carol and driving into Rogue. "Mah god it's too much" Rogue yelled.
The unconscious Jean morphed back into Mystique who got up and watched. "Don't let go Rogue keep holding on just a little bit more, you can do it."
"No ah have to let go it hurts" Rogue exclaimed. "Mama" she yelled as the increasingly powerful energy entered her body. Carol continued to scream in pain but her screams became weaker every second.
"Just a little more Rogue" Mystique encouraged. "You must take it all" she told her.
"Ah'm trying Mama" She said and held on till finally the energy was just too much. "Ah can't hold on" she said and let go of Carol. Both fell from the exhaustion. Mystique rushed over and caught Rogue.
"It's okay, you did good" Mystique smirked as she pointed over to the now lifeless Carol.
Rogue looked in shock. Carol's eyes were still opened and staring right at her. "Oh mah god what have I done" she said pulling away from Mystique. She went over and felt Carol. "She's dead she's got to be."
"Don't feel bad Rogue, she got was coming to her and you fulfilled your destiny" she explained. "Now try and use your new powers," she explained.
"Okay I'll try" Rogue said and took flight. She flew around the grounds, and it felt so good but then she saw Carol flying beside her glaring at her, just for a moment then it faded. "Ah killed her" Rogue yelled and then lost control of the powers she started to fall to the ground when a silver orb appeared and snatched her into it, just as it had Jean. She tried to resist but it sprayed her with something then took her inside of it and flew away.
Mystique watched from the ground. "I am sorry my dear but it is for the best" she said to herself then walked off to take care of her next assignment. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few hours later Kitty Pryde awoke. "Wow it's late" she yawned. She realized how warm it was for an April Saturday. "God its so hot" she said then got up to shower.
After she had finished showering she got dressed and went downstairs to the kitchen where Bobby, Dani, and Kurt were hanging out. She took a seat next to Bobby and lounged against him. "So guys what's up this morning."
"I don't know, we've got nothing to do. No training cause Logan and Scott are gone, no classes since Storm is upstairs doing her thing and the Professor left to and we haven't run into Jean or Carol."
"We should do something fun then" Kitty said with excitement in her voice. "Let's get out of here, it's beautiful outside."
Kurt shrugged. "But vhere should ve go" he asked.
"How about we just go man, you know take a road trip on to the unknown. Have an experience," Bobby said.
Dani looked at him blankly. "You've been sniffing the paint fumes again haven't you" she asked staring at him. "I much prefer an actual location if that's alright with you."
Bobby shrugged. "We could drive down to the beach then."
"Great idea" Kitty said. "Everyone go get ready and meet down in the garage," she said. They all got up and headed upstairs.
From a window Mystique had watched the whole thing. She took out a phone. "I have an opportunity boys" she began to tell them on the phone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile in Hawaii Alex had kept to himself since the weird thing had happened to him. He was over by the sea cliffs most the day after getting up the next morning, trying to figure out what was wrong with him. His hands would constantly ache and sometimes they would admit this beam from them. After accidentally blasting a tree he realized he was being watched.
"Whose there" he asked. "Show yourself."
Out from a pair of tall bushes came a blond girl dressed in white. "Oh I'm sorry for interrupting you, my name is Emma Frost," she said smiling at him.
Alex looked the girl over. "Wow she's hot," he thought.
"Why thank you for the compliment" Emma laughed. She noticed the look of confusion on Alex's face. "** Sorry for not explaining I'm a telepath **" She said in his mind.
"Weird, so what you read minds and stuff," he said.
"You could say that" she said. "It's the gift I received, which makes me a mutant. You two are a mutant, and I've come to help you" she said.
"Wait mutant?" he asked scratching his head. "Woah what's that? Can you explain why I can do this?" he asked then fired a blast toward the ground.
"Very impressive" Emma nodded. "It is because you are a mutant you can do that. A mutant is someone born with an X-Gene, which allows them to develop gifts like my telepathy and your blasting hands," she told him.
"So you came to tell me this?" He asked. "How many mutants are there?"
"Yes I came to help you. I represent someone who is also a mutant and wants to help them. There are more and more mutants all the time and soon the humans will realize our presence and trust me they won't like it. Magneto wishes to protect mutants from being oppressed."
"Okay so you work for this Magneto guy right, so how can he help me" Alex asked as he continued stare at the beautiful Emma Frost.
"He can help you to control your powers and put them to good use, and stand at your side so you shall face no oppression" Emma told him. "If you join us I shall stand with you too" she smiled coolly at him.
"It's an interesting offer" Alex nodded. "But I don't know I mean I can't just leave, my folks might notice if I'm gone."
"Oh but you must, they are humans they can never understand what is happening to you like Magneto can, like I can. I also know they are not your true family" she told him.
"What are you talking about" Alex frowned. "My family died."
"Oh no they didn't, does the name Scott Summers ring a bell. I know it does, and I know him," she told him.
"Really" Alex asked eagerly. "Well if you can take the pain away, and get me my brother back, well I guess I could give you guys a shot" he said.
"Excellent" Emma smiled. "Now we shall wait, I feel your brother is on his way" she said. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Emma was talking to Alex the X-Jet had landed on an empty field of the island. Xavier turned to Scott. "If you go about 20 meters to the northwest you should be able to find your brother" he said.
Scott nodded. "Thanks, got to go" she said and practically sprinted out the jet.
"Should I go with him, just in case" Logan asked.
"No I think it be better if we let Scott handles this on his own, it is his brother" he responded.
Logan nodded. "Well in that case I think I go out for a smoke" he said then lit a cigar and walked out of the X-Jet. After he walked out he noticed the ramp slam shut. "What the" he frowned then caught the smell of something. "Magneto" he growled and began to run back to the X-Jet.
Inside the jet Xavier noticed the door slam shut as well. "Hello Eric, you made your presence obvious now what is it you want" he asked.
"Hello Charles, my old friend. What I want is you" Magneto's voice said. "I have created sanctuary and you are to be a part of it."
"I appreciate the offer Eric, but you know I cannot go with you unless your beliefs have changed."
"You know they haven't Charles, and I didn't say this was a request. You will thank me one day when you realize your error" he said.
"Wait Eric, stop this" Xavier said as he felt the Jet rise off the ground and into the air.
"I am sorry this is for your own good" Magneto responded and then was silent.
Outside Logan watched the Jet lift and frowned. "Oh no you don't" he said and leaped on to the Jet with his claws just as it was flying away. Magneto pulled it fast into the sky and over the ocean.
"Fool, I am the master of metal" Magneto's voice said to Logan. "Now watch as you slowly fall off" he said and bent back each claw one by one before letting Logan fall down to the ocean below. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile Scott had rushed through the island till he found a blond boy with a Hawaiian shirt, who looked very familiar. "Alex?" Scott asked.
"Yeah" Alex nodded. ""Yeah that's my name, who might you be?"
"Well this might sound strange but I'm Scott Summers your brother" Scott said.
Alex smiled and pulled him into a hug. "Wow it's really you, Scott it's been so long. You came just like she said."
Scott nodded. "Yep its good to see you too, I thought you were dead. Wait a minute who said I was coming" he asked.
"I did" Emma said walking up to them. "Hello Scott, always nice to see you."
"Hello Emma" Scott said, not really knowing how to react to her after the conversation they had back when they met at John's grave. "What are you doing here."
"What do you think Scott" Emma said. "You know that I am here to recruit a new mutant for my side and he has accepted."
Scott frowned. "Is this true Alex" he said.
"Yeah she said her boss can help me with control and protect me" Alex told him. "She said she knew you."
"Yeah she does, and her boss can't be trusted. He manipulates mutants into following his philosophy by making promises" Scott frowned.
"Oh please Scott, you never even truly listened to Magneto" Emma snapped. "Xavier simply found you first and truth is it would be much easier for a telepath like him to manipulate a mind then Magneto ever could," she snapped.
Alex sighed. "Look Scott, I'm just going to here him out and see if he can help me," he said. "If you feel so uneasy about it come with me and hear what he has to say then judge" he said.
Scott frowned. "Well I'll come with you but I still don't trust him" Scott said.
"Good" Emma said. "** And besides Scott I know you still care about me and I do for you. Not to mention I here you've been replaced anyway, real loyalty they ever had."
Scott heard her voice in his head and wanted to ignore it but he realized he was beginning to agree with her. "Alright let's go" he said.
"And go we shall" Emma said. "Our transportation should be here any minute," she said and almost if on cue a large metal orb appeared on the ground. "Everyone hop in" she said simply and the two followed her. The orb sealed up and flew into the sky. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at the Institute Storm had finally descended down to the lower part of the mansion. She had looked around find that none of the students were around. "It's a little to quite around her" she muttered to herself as she entered the main foyer. She saw a note attached to the bottom of the stair case and read it.
Dear Ms. Monroe
It was such a nice day we decided to go for a ride to the beach. Kurt is driving and we'll be back later. Call us if you need us.
Signed Kitty, Bobby, Dani, and Kurt.
Storm rolled her eyes. "Oh those kids. I just hope they don't do anything irresponsible" she thought to herself. Suddenly she heard something from behind her. She looked and saw nothing. "Oh must have been nothing" she realized and turned to walk away when suddenly from out of no where Mystique charged at her and sent her flying with a devastating kick.
"Surprise" Mystique snarled. "Now don't worry wind rider this will all be over quick," she said.
Storm frowned as she got up. "I don't know why you've come and attacked me in my home and I don't care, but I will give you one more chance to leave quietly" Storm said as she got up.
"Sorry can't, it's nothing personal but your in my way" Mystique snarled and morphed into a bigger and stronger version of herself and tackled Storm. She picked her up and threw her over into a potted plant.
Storm groaned. That last hit hurt and it destroyed one of her plants. She slowly got up. "You've left me no choice" Storm frowned as she got up. Her eyes began to glow as a strong wind picked up inside the foyer. Thunder and lighting could be heard outside. The winds picked up Mystique and spun her around the room, before sending her flying hard into a wall, knocking her out. "I'm sorry but it had to be done" Storm frowned. "Now look at this mess," she said to herself as she looked around the room and saw furniture turned over papers all over the place and dirt from plants stained into the carpet.
But her thoughts were interrupted when a silver orb smashed through the ceiling and attacked Storm. Before she could react it had grabbed her and pulled her in. It closed up and flew away as the claustrophobic woman yelled in terror from the inside. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back in the Pacific, Logan washed up on the shore of a Hawaiian island. He looked up and saw Sabretooth growling at him. He popped out his claws and frowned. "Well this is just what I need" he muttered and the two began to fight. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On a road over looking the shore, Kurt, who is wearing his image inducer, is driving Scott's convertible. Dani sits in the passengers seat and Bobby and Kitty are lounged in the back, making out as usual.
"Looks like ve're almost there" Kurt told the others.
"A little louder, I don't think they heard you over the spit swapping" Dani frowned and turned up the radio, almost to the max.
"Very true" Kurt nodded. "But at least one of them isn't driving, or ve vould be in real trouble" he grinned.
"Yeah we wouldn't of made it out of the garage" Dani laughed and Kurt joined in. But their fun would be interrupted when the ground started to become unstable and the car started to shake. "Vhat the?" Kurt gasped.
"What's going on" asked Dani. "Is this road getting too bumpy or what" she questioned when suddenly the back of the car was hit hard from behind. Dani turned to see a large jeep riding up on the bumper.
"Scott's going to kill me," Kurt lamented at the dent that was being left on the bumper.
Kitty and Bobby were interrupted from their "activity" and both turned and saw what was happening. "I think that's the least of your problems Kurt" Kitty said. "It's the Brotherhood" she frowned.
"Yeah well let's see them chew on this" Bobby said and iced the road to hold them back.
"Nice job" Kurt said as he turned away to look.
"Kurt watch out" Dani exclaimed but before he could react the car drove right into the chest of the Blob. The four X-Men were knocked hard by the impact.
"Sorry the road is closed" Blob grinned and reached his hands out to grab them.
"Like I think we need to get out of here" Kitty said and grabbed Bobby, she phased them both out of the car. Kurt grabbed Dani and ported out. Bobby iced bridged them all down to the beach below.
"I think we better fight them on fair ground" he said before landing there.
"They're getting away, after them," Pietro said and the Brotherhood followed the X-Men down to the beach. Soon the two teams were face to face. On one side, Quicksilver, Blob, Pyro, Avalanche, and Toad. On the other Iceman, Shadowcat, Nightcrawler, and Moonstar.
"Well looks like we got ourselves a fight here, 4 on 3" Quicksilver smirked.
"Like learn to count Pietro it's 5 on 4" Kitty retorted.
"You'd think so but two of us have no reason to fight, since we've already earned our spots" Pietro explained.
"What are you talking about" Bobby demanded.
"Relax Drake, you've been guaranteed a spot just like me, so why don't you just watch and see what happens" Pietro said.
"Whatever you're talking about you can forget it" Bobby snapped and iced his hands.
"Whatever lets fight" Avalanche said and began to shake the ground underneath the X-Men knocking them down.
Pietro picked up speed and large amounts of sand started to fill the air around the X-men.
Kurt blindly ported out of danger but reappeared underneath Blob. "Hey fuzzball" he grinned and slammed Nightcrawler to the ground with his fist knocking the boy out.
"My turn yo" Toad grinned confidently as he jumped up toward Kitty, Dani, and Bobby, but an ice blast knocked him out of the sky.
Kitty phased Dani and Bobby out of the way but then Pietro snatched up Bobby. "Can't have you getting hurt now" he said and started to pull Bobby away with his speed.
"I don't need your help" Bobby frowned and made himself too cold to touch and got free. He quickly began to ice slide back to the others.
Pyro created flame birds that chased Dani and Kitty wherever they went.
"This way" Kitty said pointing to a group of tall sand hills. "We'll lose them in there" she said and Dani nodded. They ran between them.
"Now to terrify them," Dani said and got ready to send some visions at them.
"I don't think so" Avalanche smirked at Pyro. "Nice work now my job" he said and started to shake the sand above Kitty and Dani on top of them.
Bobby reappeared on the scene just in time to see Kitty and Dani get buried. "Kitty" he called out.
Pietro reappeared on the scene and saw that Toad was down but so were Kurt, Dani, and Kitty. "Looks like it's over" he said. "Time to go" he said and pulled out a small device. Soon 5 orbs appeared from over the horizon.
Bobby went and started to try and dig Kitty and Dani out. "Guys don't worry I'm going to get you out" he said but Lance put a hand on his shoulder. "Relax kid you won, forget them" he said.
"I don't know nor care whatever you guys are talking about" Bobby pushed him away.
Pietro frowned. "Grab him" he said and Lance, Blob and Pyro jumped on Bobby, tackling him. He iced up and started to fight back. "This should only take a minute" he said and directed one of the orbs at Bobby. Two claws sprung out and grabbed him. He started to fight back but they shocked him knocking him out.
"Nice work Pietro" Pyro said.
"Now come boys, to Sanctuary" Pietro said and the four other boys entered their orbs and all 5 took off into the sky like many others had. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Charles Xavier felt like he had been in the Magneto manipulated X-jet for hours. "Where could he be taking me" Xavier wondered as they went farther and farther south. Soon the sky became very dark and cloudy. "Antarctica" Xavier exclaimed. On the horizon he could see some sort of floating object. The X-Jet was headed straight for it. As it became closer, Xavier realized it was an asteroid with domes and metal on it. "What is this Magnus" Xavier muttered.
The X-Jet was placed on a landing pad that was sticking out of the asteroid. The ramp opened to let Xavier down. Xavier reluctantly exited the X-Jet where he met Magneto. "Greetings Charles and welcome to Asteroid M" he said.
"What is this place" Charles asked with both suspicion and wonder in his voice.
"This is the sanctuary I have created to protect us from the humans" Magneto explained. "I have taken the best of the best of the known mutants and brought them here to create a new society" he explained. "Walk with me and I shall show you it all" he said.
Xavier reluctantly nodded. "But why Eric, what do you hope to accomplish" he asked as they strolled through the metal corridors. "Though I must admit this place is quite amazing" he said.
"As I said to create a new society Charles. "The foundations of a society run by mutants without persecution. I have brought you here because despite our differences I respect you as both a colleague and a friend. You can contribute much to the community."
"I see Eric, though you didn't actually offer me a position, you forced it on me" he said. "So now I must ask you who did you bring here Eric" he said as they entered a large chamber. He saw Quicksilver, Pyro, Avalanche, and Blob standing in the corner. Surprisingly Forge the inventor mutant was near by as well To his horror Xavier saw several glass tubes, inside of them were Storm, Jean, Bobby, and the Rogue.
"As you can see I said the best of the best, there is but one competition to go then the community will be complete" Magneto explained.
"Eric you have imprisoned these people against there will" he said.
"Professor get us out of here" Jean yelled.
"Don't worry Jean I'll find a way out of this" he assured her.
"Do not worry Charles, they will all be let out when I know I can trust them to behave. As for the Rogue she just needs some control" he said.
"We'll never join you buckethead" Bobby frowned, still fuming from being forced to come here and not being able to save Kitty and the others.
"Foolish boy, your emotions for the inferior will fade eventually. All you need is a good example" Magneto explained. "Come in" he called to one of the corridors.
A door opened to reveal Cyclops, with Emma on an arm and Havok at his side. He was dressed in a new costume.
"Soon you will all learn like he has that this is for the best" Magneto said as Xavier, Bobby, Jean and Storm looked on in horror.
Okay this concludes Part I of this two parter. The next one will be up as soon as I can. Give me your feed back and what you think. For those asking about the new mutants, after this I am going to start the next story arch, starting with either a one parter or a two parter entitled Recruitment, which will bring a bunch of new recruits to the Institute. But for now till next time see ya.
It is a hot sunny day on the Pacific Ocean off the Hawaiian Islands and there are surfers abound the waters catching the best waves they can. One of them is a seemingly normal blond haired surfer type boy named Alex Masters. He caught a very large wave and began to ride it. As he did he noticed some girls were watching and decided to show off. He began to hang ten, but as he kept his balance his hands began to hurt immensely. The pain causes him to lose his balance and he wipes out.
He washes up on shore with his board. "Woah what happened" he mumbled. His hands hurt so much. "Better go get these looked out" he said and picked up his board. His hands began to ache again causing him to drop his board. He stared at them and watched as a strange blast emitted from them and shattered the board. "What the heck, my board" Alex exclaimed. "This is totally weird," he said to himself.
He noticed other people had heard the board get shattered. "Better go find a place to chill" he muttered and ran off. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As this is happening thousands of miles to the east in Bayville New York, in the depths of the Xavier Institute Cerebro detects this new emerging mutant and it's alarm goes off. Charles Xavier was reading in his study and immediately went down to the Cerebro room. He put on the head device and scanned for the location, finding out the boy was from Hawaii and his name was Alex Masters. Upon further investigation he found out the boy was adopted from a Nebraska orphanage, with a familiar name. "That's the same one Scott is from" Xavier said. He then found out the boys original last name, Summers. "Oh my that's Scott's brother. I must summon him at once' Xavier told himself and searched the mansion for Scott.
Meanwhile Scott was in the danger room getting out his frustrations with some target practice. Over the last few days he had kept his distance from the other X-Men, ever since Carol beat him. They had a few training sessions under her leadership and he had to admit she wasn't half bad and that's what made him even angrier. That and the whole team just sat there and accepted the change, even Bobby and Jean; he expected some loyalty from them. He ended up storming out on the last training session two days prior and since then avoided his teammates and spent most of his time training.
Of course a couple of them had tried to approach him. Bobby had come in and had the nerve to ask him what his problem was, like he had a problem. This of course led to an argument; luckily Kitty was there and had pulled Bobby away, muttering jerk about Scott as she walked him off. Kurt had come and tried to talk to him and almost had gotten through with him but when he told Scott he needed to relax, Scott told him to leave. When Jean had come Scott just blew her off completely, excusing her of betraying him even. She had to hold back tears and just left. Suddenly the doors opened it was Logan.
"So your still here good" Logan growled. "What is your problem kid" he frowned.
"Look I don't need this" Scott said as he continued to blast his targets, without even looking at Logan. "I just want to be left alone" he said.
Logan frowned and grabbed Scott by the collar. "You know what I actually don't care what your problem is Slim, but whatever it is don't you take it out on me, or any of your teammates including Jean" he said. "You were way out of line the way you talked to her before and your lucky I don't skewer you" he snapped.
Scott frowned and glared at Logan through his shades. He pulled himself off of Logan. "Look sorry I hurt her feelings but truth is she should of just left me alone, just like the others should have. I'm practically off the team as it is."
Logan shook his head. "Your acting ridiculous kid just cause what? A girl beat you?" he frowned.
"Shut up, it's more then that. It's about loyalty. I've worked hard and she just comes in a steals everything from me" he frowned.
"Give me a break kid. This is all about your ego. Well be a man and face the fact that there's always someone better then you, it's a part of life" he said.
"Don't call me kid" Scott frowned and was about to say something else when he heard something in his head.
"**Scott please meet me at Cerebro ASAP**" Xavier called out. "**It is of utmost importance" he said.
"Go" Logan said. "Maybe he'll knock some sense into you."
Scott just shook his head. "Coming professor" he said and left Logan. He walked out of the Danger room and down the hallway where he found the Professor waiting for him in Cerebro.
"Thank you for coming so quickly Scott" the Professor said. "I know you've been quite tense as of late" he said.
"Look Professor I'm sorry but please I am in no mood for another lecturer" Scott frowned.
"Nor do I wish to give one. I have actually called you here because I've found your brother Alex" he said and brought up the information on the Cerebro screen.
Scott looked both shocked and quite happy. "But how" Scott asked. "I thought he died in the jump from the plane?"
"Apparently not. It seems that he was sent to the same orphanage as you but was adopted while you were in a coma for a year" he said. "His last name was changed so paper work must have gotten lost that linked you two" he said.
"I understand. This is great" Scott smiled. "So where is he and when can I go see him. And I assume you found him because he's a mutant."
"He is in Hawaii, living under the name of Alex Masters. His powers emerged just this afternoon, they are similar to yours it seems" he said. "Be ready to leave in the morning."
Scott nodded. "Yes sir, of course" he said with excitement in his voice. This news had made his week. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But Charles Xavier is not the only one to detect this new mutant. Just across town in the attic of the Brotherhood House Emma Frost was operating a much cruder and small version of Cerebro. "What's this, a mutant with impressive power has emerged" She said to herself as she took the helmet off. "I must tell Magneto" she said then got up and headed down the stairs and then walked down the hall to another room.
Since arriving almost a week earlier Magneto had spent the majority of his time in a room upstairs. Sabretooth as usual was guarding it to keep Magneto from being disturbed. "What do you want Blondie" Sabretooth growled as he kept guard over Magneto's room.
Emma smiled. "I think that's the business of Magneto. Now if you will please get out of my way I would like to see him," she explained.
"Sorry my orders are that no one disturbs the boss" he said sternly. "And that includes you."
"This is very important news, and he must know" she said with determination in her eyes. She looked right at Sabretooth who looked right back at her with his own defiant glare until the door opened on it's own.
"Sabretooth let her pass" Magneto ordered from inside the room. Sabretooth begrudgingly agreed and Emma smirked at him before entering. "Now Emma this better be good news" he told her.
"Oh and it is my Lord" Emma nodded. "I have detected a new mutant in Hawaii, named Alex Masters. It seems he could be very powerful" she said.
Magneto smiled. "Powerful you say. Very good timing it seems, but I'm sure Charles knows as well. We set out early tomorrow" he told Emma. "Get me Mystique."
"Yes sir" Emma said and began to leave.
"And Emma..." he began to say.
"Yes" she asked.
"Good work" he told her and then let her leave. She had a very large smile on her face. After she had left Magneto sat in his make shift office for several more minutes before Mystique entered.
"You summoned me" she asked. "I ask are you ready to make the big move" she asked him.
"Yes I am," he said. "I have gotten word that my sanctuary is complete, now I must prepare it for those worthy to join me" he said. "You are to tell those boys that they must fight to show they belong as must you," he said.
"Yes sir" Mystique nodded biting her tongue. She was not too happy about having to prove herself as well. "And what of the Rogue" she asked.
"We have prepared her the best we can for her destiny now she must make her move. Tomorrow I want her upgrade completed," he said sternly. "No excuses. Now leave me" he told her. Mystique nodded and exited leaving the powerful mutant to his thoughts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning the X-Jet took off with Xavier and Scott aboard and Logan in the pilot's chair, just as the other X-Men were waking up. It was a weekend and since Logan wasn't there for training they all slept in. By late morning Jean had awoken, showered and dressed. She went down to the kitchen and realized all the other students were still asleep.
"Talk about lazy" she frowned as she made herself a cup of coffee. She walked over and looked out the window. "It's so quiet" she thought to herself when something caught her eye. "Hmm looks like maybe someone is up" she said then opened the kitchen door and walked outside.
She looked around to see who was outside. "Bobby is that you. Kitty, Kurt, Dani?" she called out as she continued to walk out on to the grounds.
She heard some ruffling in some bushes. "Real funny Bobby, but you're a little old for hide and seek" she said. "I guess I'm just going to have to use my telepathy" she said and began to scan the area. "Wait a minute, they're all in the mansion. Then who is that" she frowned.
"Me" Mystique said as she emerged from the bushes. "And what are you going to do about it" she challenged Jean.
Jean glared at Mystique. "You have no right to be here and now I am going to remove you" Jean said and lifted Mystique up with her TK. "I will send you flying if you don't get out of here" she threatened.
"Oh will you" Mystique grinned. "That's going to be hard when your past out" she said.
"What are you talking about" Jean demanded as she glared at Mystique. Her telepathy caught something and turned around. "Wait what the" She said when Rogue tackled her and with an ungloved hand touched Jean's face, causing her to pass out. A metal orb appeared out of the trees and opened up. A long arm came in and pulled Jean's body into it before closing and flying away fast into the sky.
"That's what I was talking about" Mystique said after she got up after being dropped. "Good work Rogue. Now that it's time for the main course, are you ready for her."
Rogue nodded. "Yes Mama I think so."
"Now remember don't let go till I say, we need to take it all" she said. "Now we wait for her to come to us."
Rogue nodded though seemed a bit unsure of herself.
Meanwhile Carol had come down to the kitchen to find that the door to the outside was open. "That's strange," she said to herself as she looked around. "That's Jean's coffee mug to and she just left it here, even stranger" she said. "Maybe she went outside" she thought and walked out to find her teammate. After walking a bit she saw Jean unconscious on the ground. "Jean" she yelled before running over. She looked her over. "What happened to you?"
"Ah did" a voice said and Carol looked up to see Rogue.
"You little witch" Carol frowned. "Well at least it will give me an opportunity to teach you a lesson" she said.
"Ah thought ah could get your attention this way, and ya'll won't be teaching anyone anything when ah'm done with ya" Rogue said then pointed her hand at Carol and pushed her back with TK.
"Guess you have Jean's powers" Carol frowned as she dusted herself off. "Well at least it will make it interesting" she said confidently then flew straight at Rogue and punched her in the stomach then kicked her and sent her flying.
Rogue groaned with pain, this was going to be harder then she thought but she had to beat this girl, she needed to get her revenge, among other things. She got herself up then levitated high into the air. "Ya'll want interesting, I'll show you interesting" Rogue snarled then lifted Carol up with her TK. She held her up and slammed her down toward the ground.
Carols powerful body made quite an imprint into the ground, but she got herself up after several seconds and looked mad. "You got me dirty, now I'm pissed" she frowned and flew up again stared Rogue right into the air. "Okay enough games, let's go."
"Let's" Rogue nodded and the two charged at each other. Carol threw punch after punch at Rogue who blocked them with her TK and pushed her back. Each time Carol would come back with more speed and thrust and each time Rogue would do her best to block it. Till finally Carol broke through and sent a barrage of punches at Rogue, hitting her in the stomach many times till she sent her flying down. Carol dove down and caught her by the collar of her shirt.
"Had enough" she asked.
"Yah I have" Rogue groaned. "Had enough of you" she said then snapped her bare hands on to Carols face and began to drain her. Carol tried to resist but Rogue held on tight, both felt the energy leaving Carol and driving into Rogue. "Mah god it's too much" Rogue yelled.
The unconscious Jean morphed back into Mystique who got up and watched. "Don't let go Rogue keep holding on just a little bit more, you can do it."
"No ah have to let go it hurts" Rogue exclaimed. "Mama" she yelled as the increasingly powerful energy entered her body. Carol continued to scream in pain but her screams became weaker every second.
"Just a little more Rogue" Mystique encouraged. "You must take it all" she told her.
"Ah'm trying Mama" She said and held on till finally the energy was just too much. "Ah can't hold on" she said and let go of Carol. Both fell from the exhaustion. Mystique rushed over and caught Rogue.
"It's okay, you did good" Mystique smirked as she pointed over to the now lifeless Carol.
Rogue looked in shock. Carol's eyes were still opened and staring right at her. "Oh mah god what have I done" she said pulling away from Mystique. She went over and felt Carol. "She's dead she's got to be."
"Don't feel bad Rogue, she got was coming to her and you fulfilled your destiny" she explained. "Now try and use your new powers," she explained.
"Okay I'll try" Rogue said and took flight. She flew around the grounds, and it felt so good but then she saw Carol flying beside her glaring at her, just for a moment then it faded. "Ah killed her" Rogue yelled and then lost control of the powers she started to fall to the ground when a silver orb appeared and snatched her into it, just as it had Jean. She tried to resist but it sprayed her with something then took her inside of it and flew away.
Mystique watched from the ground. "I am sorry my dear but it is for the best" she said to herself then walked off to take care of her next assignment. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few hours later Kitty Pryde awoke. "Wow it's late" she yawned. She realized how warm it was for an April Saturday. "God its so hot" she said then got up to shower.
After she had finished showering she got dressed and went downstairs to the kitchen where Bobby, Dani, and Kurt were hanging out. She took a seat next to Bobby and lounged against him. "So guys what's up this morning."
"I don't know, we've got nothing to do. No training cause Logan and Scott are gone, no classes since Storm is upstairs doing her thing and the Professor left to and we haven't run into Jean or Carol."
"We should do something fun then" Kitty said with excitement in her voice. "Let's get out of here, it's beautiful outside."
Kurt shrugged. "But vhere should ve go" he asked.
"How about we just go man, you know take a road trip on to the unknown. Have an experience," Bobby said.
Dani looked at him blankly. "You've been sniffing the paint fumes again haven't you" she asked staring at him. "I much prefer an actual location if that's alright with you."
Bobby shrugged. "We could drive down to the beach then."
"Great idea" Kitty said. "Everyone go get ready and meet down in the garage," she said. They all got up and headed upstairs.
From a window Mystique had watched the whole thing. She took out a phone. "I have an opportunity boys" she began to tell them on the phone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile in Hawaii Alex had kept to himself since the weird thing had happened to him. He was over by the sea cliffs most the day after getting up the next morning, trying to figure out what was wrong with him. His hands would constantly ache and sometimes they would admit this beam from them. After accidentally blasting a tree he realized he was being watched.
"Whose there" he asked. "Show yourself."
Out from a pair of tall bushes came a blond girl dressed in white. "Oh I'm sorry for interrupting you, my name is Emma Frost," she said smiling at him.
Alex looked the girl over. "Wow she's hot," he thought.
"Why thank you for the compliment" Emma laughed. She noticed the look of confusion on Alex's face. "** Sorry for not explaining I'm a telepath **" She said in his mind.
"Weird, so what you read minds and stuff," he said.
"You could say that" she said. "It's the gift I received, which makes me a mutant. You two are a mutant, and I've come to help you" she said.
"Wait mutant?" he asked scratching his head. "Woah what's that? Can you explain why I can do this?" he asked then fired a blast toward the ground.
"Very impressive" Emma nodded. "It is because you are a mutant you can do that. A mutant is someone born with an X-Gene, which allows them to develop gifts like my telepathy and your blasting hands," she told him.
"So you came to tell me this?" He asked. "How many mutants are there?"
"Yes I came to help you. I represent someone who is also a mutant and wants to help them. There are more and more mutants all the time and soon the humans will realize our presence and trust me they won't like it. Magneto wishes to protect mutants from being oppressed."
"Okay so you work for this Magneto guy right, so how can he help me" Alex asked as he continued stare at the beautiful Emma Frost.
"He can help you to control your powers and put them to good use, and stand at your side so you shall face no oppression" Emma told him. "If you join us I shall stand with you too" she smiled coolly at him.
"It's an interesting offer" Alex nodded. "But I don't know I mean I can't just leave, my folks might notice if I'm gone."
"Oh but you must, they are humans they can never understand what is happening to you like Magneto can, like I can. I also know they are not your true family" she told him.
"What are you talking about" Alex frowned. "My family died."
"Oh no they didn't, does the name Scott Summers ring a bell. I know it does, and I know him," she told him.
"Really" Alex asked eagerly. "Well if you can take the pain away, and get me my brother back, well I guess I could give you guys a shot" he said.
"Excellent" Emma smiled. "Now we shall wait, I feel your brother is on his way" she said. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Emma was talking to Alex the X-Jet had landed on an empty field of the island. Xavier turned to Scott. "If you go about 20 meters to the northwest you should be able to find your brother" he said.
Scott nodded. "Thanks, got to go" she said and practically sprinted out the jet.
"Should I go with him, just in case" Logan asked.
"No I think it be better if we let Scott handles this on his own, it is his brother" he responded.
Logan nodded. "Well in that case I think I go out for a smoke" he said then lit a cigar and walked out of the X-Jet. After he walked out he noticed the ramp slam shut. "What the" he frowned then caught the smell of something. "Magneto" he growled and began to run back to the X-Jet.
Inside the jet Xavier noticed the door slam shut as well. "Hello Eric, you made your presence obvious now what is it you want" he asked.
"Hello Charles, my old friend. What I want is you" Magneto's voice said. "I have created sanctuary and you are to be a part of it."
"I appreciate the offer Eric, but you know I cannot go with you unless your beliefs have changed."
"You know they haven't Charles, and I didn't say this was a request. You will thank me one day when you realize your error" he said.
"Wait Eric, stop this" Xavier said as he felt the Jet rise off the ground and into the air.
"I am sorry this is for your own good" Magneto responded and then was silent.
Outside Logan watched the Jet lift and frowned. "Oh no you don't" he said and leaped on to the Jet with his claws just as it was flying away. Magneto pulled it fast into the sky and over the ocean.
"Fool, I am the master of metal" Magneto's voice said to Logan. "Now watch as you slowly fall off" he said and bent back each claw one by one before letting Logan fall down to the ocean below. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile Scott had rushed through the island till he found a blond boy with a Hawaiian shirt, who looked very familiar. "Alex?" Scott asked.
"Yeah" Alex nodded. ""Yeah that's my name, who might you be?"
"Well this might sound strange but I'm Scott Summers your brother" Scott said.
Alex smiled and pulled him into a hug. "Wow it's really you, Scott it's been so long. You came just like she said."
Scott nodded. "Yep its good to see you too, I thought you were dead. Wait a minute who said I was coming" he asked.
"I did" Emma said walking up to them. "Hello Scott, always nice to see you."
"Hello Emma" Scott said, not really knowing how to react to her after the conversation they had back when they met at John's grave. "What are you doing here."
"What do you think Scott" Emma said. "You know that I am here to recruit a new mutant for my side and he has accepted."
Scott frowned. "Is this true Alex" he said.
"Yeah she said her boss can help me with control and protect me" Alex told him. "She said she knew you."
"Yeah she does, and her boss can't be trusted. He manipulates mutants into following his philosophy by making promises" Scott frowned.
"Oh please Scott, you never even truly listened to Magneto" Emma snapped. "Xavier simply found you first and truth is it would be much easier for a telepath like him to manipulate a mind then Magneto ever could," she snapped.
Alex sighed. "Look Scott, I'm just going to here him out and see if he can help me," he said. "If you feel so uneasy about it come with me and hear what he has to say then judge" he said.
Scott frowned. "Well I'll come with you but I still don't trust him" Scott said.
"Good" Emma said. "** And besides Scott I know you still care about me and I do for you. Not to mention I here you've been replaced anyway, real loyalty they ever had."
Scott heard her voice in his head and wanted to ignore it but he realized he was beginning to agree with her. "Alright let's go" he said.
"And go we shall" Emma said. "Our transportation should be here any minute," she said and almost if on cue a large metal orb appeared on the ground. "Everyone hop in" she said simply and the two followed her. The orb sealed up and flew into the sky. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at the Institute Storm had finally descended down to the lower part of the mansion. She had looked around find that none of the students were around. "It's a little to quite around her" she muttered to herself as she entered the main foyer. She saw a note attached to the bottom of the stair case and read it.
Dear Ms. Monroe
It was such a nice day we decided to go for a ride to the beach. Kurt is driving and we'll be back later. Call us if you need us.
Signed Kitty, Bobby, Dani, and Kurt.
Storm rolled her eyes. "Oh those kids. I just hope they don't do anything irresponsible" she thought to herself. Suddenly she heard something from behind her. She looked and saw nothing. "Oh must have been nothing" she realized and turned to walk away when suddenly from out of no where Mystique charged at her and sent her flying with a devastating kick.
"Surprise" Mystique snarled. "Now don't worry wind rider this will all be over quick," she said.
Storm frowned as she got up. "I don't know why you've come and attacked me in my home and I don't care, but I will give you one more chance to leave quietly" Storm said as she got up.
"Sorry can't, it's nothing personal but your in my way" Mystique snarled and morphed into a bigger and stronger version of herself and tackled Storm. She picked her up and threw her over into a potted plant.
Storm groaned. That last hit hurt and it destroyed one of her plants. She slowly got up. "You've left me no choice" Storm frowned as she got up. Her eyes began to glow as a strong wind picked up inside the foyer. Thunder and lighting could be heard outside. The winds picked up Mystique and spun her around the room, before sending her flying hard into a wall, knocking her out. "I'm sorry but it had to be done" Storm frowned. "Now look at this mess," she said to herself as she looked around the room and saw furniture turned over papers all over the place and dirt from plants stained into the carpet.
But her thoughts were interrupted when a silver orb smashed through the ceiling and attacked Storm. Before she could react it had grabbed her and pulled her in. It closed up and flew away as the claustrophobic woman yelled in terror from the inside. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back in the Pacific, Logan washed up on the shore of a Hawaiian island. He looked up and saw Sabretooth growling at him. He popped out his claws and frowned. "Well this is just what I need" he muttered and the two began to fight. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On a road over looking the shore, Kurt, who is wearing his image inducer, is driving Scott's convertible. Dani sits in the passengers seat and Bobby and Kitty are lounged in the back, making out as usual.
"Looks like ve're almost there" Kurt told the others.
"A little louder, I don't think they heard you over the spit swapping" Dani frowned and turned up the radio, almost to the max.
"Very true" Kurt nodded. "But at least one of them isn't driving, or ve vould be in real trouble" he grinned.
"Yeah we wouldn't of made it out of the garage" Dani laughed and Kurt joined in. But their fun would be interrupted when the ground started to become unstable and the car started to shake. "Vhat the?" Kurt gasped.
"What's going on" asked Dani. "Is this road getting too bumpy or what" she questioned when suddenly the back of the car was hit hard from behind. Dani turned to see a large jeep riding up on the bumper.
"Scott's going to kill me," Kurt lamented at the dent that was being left on the bumper.
Kitty and Bobby were interrupted from their "activity" and both turned and saw what was happening. "I think that's the least of your problems Kurt" Kitty said. "It's the Brotherhood" she frowned.
"Yeah well let's see them chew on this" Bobby said and iced the road to hold them back.
"Nice job" Kurt said as he turned away to look.
"Kurt watch out" Dani exclaimed but before he could react the car drove right into the chest of the Blob. The four X-Men were knocked hard by the impact.
"Sorry the road is closed" Blob grinned and reached his hands out to grab them.
"Like I think we need to get out of here" Kitty said and grabbed Bobby, she phased them both out of the car. Kurt grabbed Dani and ported out. Bobby iced bridged them all down to the beach below.
"I think we better fight them on fair ground" he said before landing there.
"They're getting away, after them," Pietro said and the Brotherhood followed the X-Men down to the beach. Soon the two teams were face to face. On one side, Quicksilver, Blob, Pyro, Avalanche, and Toad. On the other Iceman, Shadowcat, Nightcrawler, and Moonstar.
"Well looks like we got ourselves a fight here, 4 on 3" Quicksilver smirked.
"Like learn to count Pietro it's 5 on 4" Kitty retorted.
"You'd think so but two of us have no reason to fight, since we've already earned our spots" Pietro explained.
"What are you talking about" Bobby demanded.
"Relax Drake, you've been guaranteed a spot just like me, so why don't you just watch and see what happens" Pietro said.
"Whatever you're talking about you can forget it" Bobby snapped and iced his hands.
"Whatever lets fight" Avalanche said and began to shake the ground underneath the X-Men knocking them down.
Pietro picked up speed and large amounts of sand started to fill the air around the X-men.
Kurt blindly ported out of danger but reappeared underneath Blob. "Hey fuzzball" he grinned and slammed Nightcrawler to the ground with his fist knocking the boy out.
"My turn yo" Toad grinned confidently as he jumped up toward Kitty, Dani, and Bobby, but an ice blast knocked him out of the sky.
Kitty phased Dani and Bobby out of the way but then Pietro snatched up Bobby. "Can't have you getting hurt now" he said and started to pull Bobby away with his speed.
"I don't need your help" Bobby frowned and made himself too cold to touch and got free. He quickly began to ice slide back to the others.
Pyro created flame birds that chased Dani and Kitty wherever they went.
"This way" Kitty said pointing to a group of tall sand hills. "We'll lose them in there" she said and Dani nodded. They ran between them.
"Now to terrify them," Dani said and got ready to send some visions at them.
"I don't think so" Avalanche smirked at Pyro. "Nice work now my job" he said and started to shake the sand above Kitty and Dani on top of them.
Bobby reappeared on the scene just in time to see Kitty and Dani get buried. "Kitty" he called out.
Pietro reappeared on the scene and saw that Toad was down but so were Kurt, Dani, and Kitty. "Looks like it's over" he said. "Time to go" he said and pulled out a small device. Soon 5 orbs appeared from over the horizon.
Bobby went and started to try and dig Kitty and Dani out. "Guys don't worry I'm going to get you out" he said but Lance put a hand on his shoulder. "Relax kid you won, forget them" he said.
"I don't know nor care whatever you guys are talking about" Bobby pushed him away.
Pietro frowned. "Grab him" he said and Lance, Blob and Pyro jumped on Bobby, tackling him. He iced up and started to fight back. "This should only take a minute" he said and directed one of the orbs at Bobby. Two claws sprung out and grabbed him. He started to fight back but they shocked him knocking him out.
"Nice work Pietro" Pyro said.
"Now come boys, to Sanctuary" Pietro said and the four other boys entered their orbs and all 5 took off into the sky like many others had. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Charles Xavier felt like he had been in the Magneto manipulated X-jet for hours. "Where could he be taking me" Xavier wondered as they went farther and farther south. Soon the sky became very dark and cloudy. "Antarctica" Xavier exclaimed. On the horizon he could see some sort of floating object. The X-Jet was headed straight for it. As it became closer, Xavier realized it was an asteroid with domes and metal on it. "What is this Magnus" Xavier muttered.
The X-Jet was placed on a landing pad that was sticking out of the asteroid. The ramp opened to let Xavier down. Xavier reluctantly exited the X-Jet where he met Magneto. "Greetings Charles and welcome to Asteroid M" he said.
"What is this place" Charles asked with both suspicion and wonder in his voice.
"This is the sanctuary I have created to protect us from the humans" Magneto explained. "I have taken the best of the best of the known mutants and brought them here to create a new society" he explained. "Walk with me and I shall show you it all" he said.
Xavier reluctantly nodded. "But why Eric, what do you hope to accomplish" he asked as they strolled through the metal corridors. "Though I must admit this place is quite amazing" he said.
"As I said to create a new society Charles. "The foundations of a society run by mutants without persecution. I have brought you here because despite our differences I respect you as both a colleague and a friend. You can contribute much to the community."
"I see Eric, though you didn't actually offer me a position, you forced it on me" he said. "So now I must ask you who did you bring here Eric" he said as they entered a large chamber. He saw Quicksilver, Pyro, Avalanche, and Blob standing in the corner. Surprisingly Forge the inventor mutant was near by as well To his horror Xavier saw several glass tubes, inside of them were Storm, Jean, Bobby, and the Rogue.
"As you can see I said the best of the best, there is but one competition to go then the community will be complete" Magneto explained.
"Eric you have imprisoned these people against there will" he said.
"Professor get us out of here" Jean yelled.
"Don't worry Jean I'll find a way out of this" he assured her.
"Do not worry Charles, they will all be let out when I know I can trust them to behave. As for the Rogue she just needs some control" he said.
"We'll never join you buckethead" Bobby frowned, still fuming from being forced to come here and not being able to save Kitty and the others.
"Foolish boy, your emotions for the inferior will fade eventually. All you need is a good example" Magneto explained. "Come in" he called to one of the corridors.
A door opened to reveal Cyclops, with Emma on an arm and Havok at his side. He was dressed in a new costume.
"Soon you will all learn like he has that this is for the best" Magneto said as Xavier, Bobby, Jean and Storm looked on in horror.
Okay this concludes Part I of this two parter. The next one will be up as soon as I can. Give me your feed back and what you think. For those asking about the new mutants, after this I am going to start the next story arch, starting with either a one parter or a two parter entitled Recruitment, which will bring a bunch of new recruits to the Institute. But for now till next time see ya.
