Title: One Day at Magneto's…

Disclaimer: I don't own these characters and I am not making any money off of this.
Summary: Although unlikely, what if the X-Men decided to attack Magneto's island fortress? Powers are abused, feelings get hurt, chaos ensues. Will your favorite character win? Most likely not.
Warning! This story contains extreme nonsense and prejudice. No character is safe from the negative remarks of the author. All are treated equally…as bad.
BTW, every movie verse mutant is in this one although most of them are completely out of character. I don't care that anyone's dead and shouldn't be in this fic, I just wanted to collect all the characters and make them fight.
Double Warning! There is way more bad language in this chapter than any of the others. It probably doesn't meet the T rating but I didn't feel like changing it.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Let's recap. The longest battle yet ended in a draw because of the intervention of the Master of Magnetism who was able to manipulate Colossus' armor, Wolverine's adamantium skeleton and Juggernaut's helmet. What a party pooper. Currently everyone but Angel and Professor X are collected into the arena where the women of the X-Men are trying to stare down the women of the Brotherhood. As most people know men may fight more but women fight dirtier. Let's watch as this stereotype is advocated.
But first, what's the score?
Event score tally:
X-Men – 4
Brotherhood - 3
Draws – 2

Battle 10: Ultimate Catfight
X-Men: Brotherhood:
Storm Callisto
Jean Grey Mystique
Rogue Archlight
Kitty
DING DING!
Magneto sounded the bell. Unlike men, women like to strike at the heart first (where the real damage is done).
Rogue: "What was it you were saying about Logan, bitch?"
Mystique: "I was saying you both could probably get a few hair style tips. Perhaps from Professor Xavier?"
Storm: "Like anyone from the Brotherhood could talk! All you bitches use more hairspray than the blue-hairs from the state of Texas!"
Jean: "Yeah, if you three fell in the ocean it would be like the Exxon Valdez disaster all over again!"
"Oooooooh!" The boys of the X-Men looked at each other in amused surprise.
"Snap, Jean!" Scott shouted.
Callisto: "What's it to you? At least we don't spend all day combing our hair like a stuck up snob. You're the biggest fraud here, Goody Two Shoes!"
Jean: "Fraud? I'm not flaky and at least I look good. You and that thing" Jean said pointing to Archlight, "look like you just woke up and put on the cleanest piece of horsehide you could find!"
Rogue: "Yeah, smells like it too." She smirked.
Archlight: "Oh, like you have anything to say, Pansy. Weren't you the one hitching rides with smelly truck drivers and frequenting dirty bars up in Alaska?"
Rogue: "Pansy? Nightcrawler must have dropped you on your head pretty hard. You're the smelliest one in the room, Fartlight."
Archlight: "Hey! That wasn't nice!"
Jean: "Who's the pansy now? You might want to clean up your smell and your wardrobe, Fartlight."
Callisto: "Oh, so you think you're cool now, Dr. Dumbass? At least we all have style. You four look like the quadruplet convention breezed in."
Rogue: "Style? You call looking like a leather-clad dominatrix whore style?"
Callisto: I do not look like a dominatrix, bitch! These are my gang's threads and you'd be wise not to mess with my gang, Two-Tone!"
Mystique: "And if anyone's the whore here it's Stripes. If it wasn't for her useless mutation she'd be screwing the entire senior class and her stupid animal "guardian". She did a quote/unquote in the air as the trash talk was brought down to a whole new level.
"Damn, Mystique!" Jaime shouted as the brothers of the "hood" looked on with anticipatory glee. "You go, girl!"
Archlight: "As it is she's just a virginal wannabe with a sexually repressed gay boyfriend." Mystique laughed and gave Archlight a high five.
Rogue: "Who's calling who a virgin, Miss Ambiguous? You supposed to be a boy or a girl with little titties?"
Archlight: "Bitch, I got more than you got!" She said pushing up her boobs. Rogue imitated her and clearly, Rogue had more. The men of both groups all leaned in for a closer look.
Storm: "Don't even try to compare, Little Boy. You ain't got nothin' on any of us." Storm pushed her own boobs up in display.
Mystique: "I've got all you hos covered." She pushed her own up and tripled their size. There was an odd sound from the bleachers as a lot of jaws were dropped. They all looked at Magneto who was staring at Mystique's chest. A glazed over look and a sublime smile was plastered on his face as he thought about what he intended to do with her later on. There was a moment of silence as the belligerent tension and the virile jealousy in the arena heightened.
Jean: "God, you are such a slut, Mystake."
Mystique: "It's Mystique, Goody Two Shoes! Why don't you and your gay boyfriend go make out with Iceman. You all have so much in common. None of you have personalities."
Callisto: "Yeah! Why don't you go suck on your gay boyfriends other one-eye?"
Jean: "At least I can call him a boyfriend! Magneto's like a lecherous old man."
Mystique: "Is that the best you got?" She snorted and shook her head in disdain. "Is it possible living at a school made you X-sluts dumber?"
Storm: "A life of seclusion with poor specimens of men haven't exactly made you all Einsteins. You're the ones that get your asses handed to you when you try to carry out your precious Erik's plans!"
Mystique: "You people are like Scooby-Doo! You ruin other people's plans for no damned reason! What? Are you bored? Cause I can find you a village in need of rain instead of wasting your lightening power to fry up cats and toads."
Storm: "I would have time to save the earth if I didn't have to monitor your stupid Brotherhood with Magneto's stupid schemes!"
Jean: "For real! Who tries to mutanize world leaders? C'mon, that's just dumb."
Mystique: "It's not dumb! Erik is brilliant!"
Callisto: "You only wish your beloved Professor was as smart as our leader. It must be so boring to have to be at the beck and call of a crippled pacifist."
Storm: "Don't you ever speak of the Professor that way! He's way more intelligent than Magneto! He's smart enough to counterattack anything Magneto throws at him which is why we kick your asses every time!
Archlight: "Kick our asses? You wish! If Sabertooth didn't have nuts you'd be catnip by now!"
Rogue: "And if you didn't have nuts you'd be a girl!"
Archlight: "Shut the hell up, cock tease! Why don't you take your candy ass back to the bleachers before you get really hurt, you useless mutant."
Jean: "Useless? Like you're useful, you Ghetto Hussy. You should have been called "The Clap" not because it's your "power" but because you've probably got gonorrhea." All the men glanced at each other with a mixture of shock and laughter.
Callisto: "Oh, like you could do anything. You should have been called "Dr. Dolittle. You don't do shit. You probably just lay there as your gay boyfriend pretends you're a man."
Storm: "Better than being a minute-screw like you!"
Callisto: That's bullshit, Weather Witch! Why don't you ask your boyfriend about me. Oh, wait, you don't have a boyfriend."
Rogue: "Neither do you, Cunt Rash." Bobby and Pyro slapped their hands to their mouths in shock at Rogue's total white trash and completely indecent language. "Unless you named your fingers." She held up her right hand and pointed to each finger. "This one's probably Sabertooth," She pointed to the next ones. "Toad, Magneto, Pyro and Archlight."
Archlight: "Screw you, Dixie whore. You and your mute lesbian friend probably practice licking each other with the aid of Saran wrap. I'll bet you love a good pink taco or two." They all looked at Kitty who had not said one word yet. She looked back at them. There was a moment of silence then Kitty shrunk back in fear. When it was evident that Kitty had nothing to add the belittlement went on.
Rogue: "Please, if anyone here craves a pink taco, it's you."
Storm: "Yeah, you're so deep in the closet, you're too stupid to find your way out."
Callisto: "If anyone's stupid it's your momma for giving birth to you!"
Storm: "Don't you bring my momma into this, Low Life!" The air in the arena began to get very cold. Still, the argument was heating up.
Archlight: "Your momma is like a bicycle. Everyone gets a ride!"
Jean: "Well, your momma is like a doorknob. "Everyone gets a turn!"
Callisto: "That was so unoriginal! Yo' momma is so stupid she thinks a quarterback is a tax refund!"
Rogue: "Your momma is so ugly she makes onions cry!"
Archlight: "Your momma is like a bowling ball: She's picked up, fingered, then thrown in the gutter!"
Storm: "Your momma is so fat, last time she wore a Malcolm X shirt I tried to land the X-Jet on her."
Callisto: "Your momma is so fat the last time she saw 90210 was on the scale!"
Mystique: "I can see where you get your figure, Stormy. Your mom must have taken the thunder and put them in your thighs."
Storm: "I am not fat! You hos are so mean!"
Rogue: "You're not fat, Storm." Rogue said trying to calm Storm down. The cold in the room was suddenly chillier. Everyone noted it.
Mystique: "See her make a pass at her teacher? Remember, she has to settle with girls since she can't turn her gay boyfriend on."
Rogue: "Shut up, Raven!" Rogue spat out her slave name. "At least my boyfriend can get it up, unlike yours!"
Mystique: "What the hell, you lying shit! Erik can get it up just fine! I can turn him on whenever I want! You of all people would know that Erik will never ever need Viagra as long as he lives!" There was a moment of silence as Rogue and Mystique sent death glares at each others directions. Storm sidled up next to rogue.
Storm: "Why would you know that, Rogue? Is there something you haven't told us?" Rogue shrugged her shoulders.
Rogue: "What? I have Magneto's memories."
Mystique: "Tell them! Tell everyone why Erik doesn't need Viagra to get it up!" Everyone leaned in closer to Rogue to hear an explanation.
"Uh, Mystique," Magneto started to say from his position on the bleachers, all the men eyeing him in intense curiosity. "Perhaps now is really not the best time to-"
Mystique: "No, Erik! Tell them why, Stripe!"
Rogue: "Fer cryin' out loud! Magneto can manipulate the iron in his own blood. All he has to do is draw his blood to his you-know-where. Instant erection. Happy? Jeez!" Magneto rolled his eyes and shook his head in humiliation. Was it really necessary that everyone should know that?
Mystique: "My Metal Man can bring me to orgasm with a single thought in his head." She said looking towards him with a knowing smile and a loving gaze. Right now it wasn't the first time Magneto wished he had Charles' power so that he could erase that information from everyone's memories. Of all things holy, was nothing sacred? Magneto didn't notice the jealous stares he was receiving.
Rogue: "I know more about your stupid Erik than you do! He still loves the Professor you know!" Everyone gasped in horror. They all turned to look at Magneto whose eyes were wide in shock, his mouth pursed in guilt. He caught Mystique's eye. She was giving him a say-it-isn't-so look. He shook his head vigorously in denial. That was enough for Mystique.
Mystique: "Don't you fucking lie about Erik! I don't tell people about how you cried for your dumbass Wolvie at Liberty Island even though he wants Dr. Dolittle!" She said pointing to Jean. "Or that you play with that white stripe in admiration that my Erik gave you when you think no one is looking! By the way, your stupid Logan will never love you!"
Mystique barely had time to finish her sentence when Rogue sprang at her with her bare hands. Rogue grabbed a hold of Mystiques arm as Callisto and Archlight came to the rescue and tried to pry the girl off of the blue woman. Mystique felt the drain of her powers surge slightly. She bitch slapped Rogue causing a biting sting across her cheek. Storm and Jean were coming up behind Callisto and Archlight to take their friend out of the hands of the enemy when Mystique's slap caused Rogue to let go. Mystique tumbled backwards while the other five tumbled the other way right through Kitty as they fell into a heap. Mystique was breathing hard but mostly just from panic. She didn't want to have been the first one to have her ass kicked by a frickin girl! Rogue got on her feet quickly and began to run around the arena shouting.
"Mystique pretends to be the Professor in bed! Mystique pretends to be the Professor in bed!"
"What the hell? That was only once! For his birthday!" Again, all eyes went to Magneto who held his hand over his eyes and shook his head in mortification. Will it never end? Rogue continued shouting. Mystique ran over to her and as Rogue tried to dodge, Mystique grabbed her ponytail and yanked her back. Storm and Jean began to run over to the rescue but Callisto was too fast. She dropped them like bad habits. They tried to get up but Archlight targeted them with her shockwave causing them to fall back to the ground again. On top of being frigid, the air in the arena began to get very windy.
Mystique had Rogue in a bear hug from behind. She squeezed the air out of Rogue then drop kicked her on her knee. Rogue went down, hitting her face into the sand. Mystique walked up to Rogue and kicked her in the stomach. She rolled over in pain but then rolled over again and corrected her control. Rogue swept her foot across Mystique's legs but Mystique reflexively dodged her kick and somersaulted over the girl resulting in a swift side kick across Rogue's head. Rogue went down again into the dirt.
"Damn!" Pyro replied in ghastly amusement. "Them bitches fight dirty!" The X-Men and the Brotherhood were on their feet, hooting and hollering for their women.
"Destroy them!" Beast shouted, his blue fist waving in the air. The men turned to him, surprised by the blue man's usually reserved candor. Beast slowly relaxed his hand and brought it to his side. He shrugged his shoulders, a look of surprise on his own face by his sudden exuberance. It was official. This catfight had everyone enthralled.
Rogue tried to get up again but Mystique was busy mocking her and pushing her back down like a bully on the playground.
"Don't you ever say a word about Erik! I'll kick your ass from here to Sunday, Stripe!" Defiantly Rogue was able to get her head out of the dirt and yell loudly enough for everyone to hear.
"Mystique pokes holes in Erik's condoms!" Mystique went wide eyed and quickly looked over to Magneto who had the same shocked expression on his face. She shook her head in refutation.
"Sweetheart, she's lying!" She yelled to him. He gave her a skeptical look. Mystique hardly had time to register his unconvinced look when she felt a kick to her stomach knock her backwards causing her to fall to the ground.
While Rogue and Mystique duked it out, Storm and Jean were having problems of their own with the goth twins. Archlight sent another shockwave to the two downed X-Men but Storm sent a blast of wind to counterattack the force. The result was a small cyclone that swept Callisto up into the air twenty feet before she came crashing down to the ground.
While Archlight went to go catch Callisto, Jean used her telekinesis to push Archlight all the way back into the broken piles of bleachers Wolverine and Juggernaut had broken earlier. Archlight fell into the metallic mess. Her body momentarily disappeared as she became surrounded by the piles of broken bleachers but then a loud sound came from within and the metal went flying into Jeans direction as the shockwaves hurled them towards her. Jean deflected most of them but was then struck in the leg by a sharp piece. She fell backwards, blood began to flow out of her wound.
Scott was ready to jump up to the rescue but Jamie multiplied himself and held him back. He gave Scott a wink as he kept his arms threaded through Cyclops'. At this point all the men were jumping up and down entertainingly, extremely intrigued by the giant catfight before them. The only thing missing from this scene was Jerry Springer.
As Jean pulled the metal shard from her leg, Archlight ran towards her releasing little shockwaves at her as a distraction. Jean held her hand up and caused the waves to stop but was unable to propel them back towards Archlight. She got up just as Archlight was about to unleash a large wave upon her from only ten feet away but Jean jumped in front of her and held her hands away from each other. Archlight and Jean struggled violently, they began slapping and kicking each other in comical form. Archlight grabbed Jean's hair and began to pull. Jeans head went to the side; a pained expression clouded her face. She reached up and clawed at Archlights face resulting in a large scratch that drew blood from her cheek.
"Ow!" Archlight flew backwards and held her face. "Look what you did to my beautiful face!" Archlight targeted Jean and sent a powerful shockwave towards her. Jean held her hand up and forced Archlight backwards. They both went flying opposite each other.
Callisto had come tumbling back to the ground and was currently lying painfully on the dirt floor. She heard Storm walk up to her. She looked up into her cloudy white eyes, her head bent to the side like she was deep in concentration. A loud thunderous boom was heard and Callisto quickly rolled to the side as a bolt of lightening struck the ground where she had just been. Callisto zipped over to Storm and hit her hard across the face. Storm's head turned forcefully to the side. She looked over and spotted Callisto over on the other side of the arena. She shot a few more lightening bolts in her direction but Callisto was quicker than lightening. She dodged them all and Storm felt another punch to her face even though she never saw it coming. Storm brought a forceful wind to her and she carried herself towards Callisto like a tornado. Callisto went in for another strike but Storm's powerful twister was not too easy to deflect. Callisto felt a kick across her face and she went sprawling to the floor but before Storm could kick her while she was down Callisto zipped back up and as Storm came in with another twister kick Callisto ducked. Storm landed on the ground and Callisto zoomed over to her and kidney punched her from behind. Storm fell in pain, Callisto got on top of her and started pulling her hair causing Storm to cry out. She commanded a gust of wind to propel Callisto off her and then she raised her body into the air. From above she spotted Callisto and started shooting more bolts of lightening at her. Callisto dodged them all but could do nothing other than that. She continued to dodge Storms bolts hoping she would come back down to the ground soon.
Rogue and Mystique were still at each other's throats. Rogue had been able to kick Mystique in her moment of distraction. Telling Magneto Mystique had poked holes in his condoms had been a lie but it had also momentarily sidetracked the shapeshifter giving Rogue enough time to drive a swift kick into her stomach. Mystique fell to the ground on to her back. Rogue ran at her with arms outstretched, ready to drain the blue woman of her powers. As she approached Mystique shot her foot out into Rogue and swept her over her head causing her to go flying a couple of feet away. But Rogue was young and well trained. She got up quickly as did Mystique and they came at each other like ferocious tigers. Rogue tried desperately to grab Mystique's bare skin but Mystique held her wrists and would not allow it. They struggled as Rogue consistently tried to brush the skin of her face or hands against Mystique. They fell to the ground in their scuffles and wrestled in the dirt.
Jean and Archlight had ended up on opposite sides of the arena after their powers had swept the other away. Callisto signaled to Archlight as the former was still trying to dodge Storm's lightening and the latter was brushing the dirt off her jacket.
"Archlight! Bring the Weather Witch down!" Callisto yelled repeatedly as she zipped around the room. Archlight looked and saw Storm up above. She ran closer to Storm then brought her hands out, ready to send a wave upwards. Jean saw her and started running towards her intent on deflecting the wave. Callisto noticed Jean and whizzed over to her but Jean realized she had been seen by Callisto and she used her powers to keep Callisto away from her as she ran towards Archlight. Jean almost reached Archlight when a thunderous clap was sent skyward and the resonating sound wave scattered Storm's winds and sent the woman sailing below.
As Storm fell Jean reached Archlight and tackled her too little too late. Callisto came running up to help her friend and tried to get Jean off Archlight. It was then that the wrestling match between Rogue and Mystique collided violently against the three combatants and as added salt to the wound Storm fell right into the pile of kicks, punches and screams. The result was a monstrous mess of biting, clawing and shrieking as the X-Women tried to fend off the Sisterhood.
Meanwhile, Kitty, who had done nothing at this point, inched closer to the clash of powers, their fighting looking like a Looney Tunes cartoon as the disturbed dirt around the women swirled in the air causing the fight to turn into cloudy chaos.
"Do something!" All the X-Men shouted to Kitty. She looked back at them as they urged her forward. She took a deep breath, then ran towards the fight that was hardly visible because of all the dust. Kitty made sure she was phased out. She had no plans to do any harm or be harmed.
Deep in the fight Rogue had lost Mystique but grasped someone's leg and felt her powers and memories enter her mind. The woman felt it too and began to panic.
"Get her off me! Get her the hell off me!" Callisto screamed. Archlight sensed the danger in Callisto's voice.
The X-Men and the Brotherhood watched in intense trepidation as the dirt cloud shielded all the fighting from their view. They were all stunned when a deafening clap was heard and five women went flying into the air, all in different directions. The shock wave dispersed the dust like an internal explosion that seeps in then clears everything in its path forcefully away as an after blast. The men felt the aftershocks where they sat on the bleachers. In the middle of the arena stood Archlight, her hands held together as if in prayer. Jean, Mystique, Rogue, Callisto and Storm all flew out in a twenty foot radius and landed to the ground with loud thumps.
As the five lay there in pain Archlight saw Kitty who had been closer to the fight than anyone had realized. Archlight sent a shockwave towards Kitty but it went through her. She sent another one but her waves were ineffective against the girl. Kitty suddenly felt brave. She ran up to Archlight and as she approached, Archlight backed away but continued firing off shockwaves anyhow. When she was just in front of her Archlight threw a punch at Kitty but she hit the air through her. Kitty phased through Archlight and ended up behind her. She grabbed her jacket and pulled with all her might causing Archlight to fall to the ground. Archlight looked at her with anger and confusion. It was pointless to try to stop a girl who could not be hurt by her power. She got up and started to run away but Kitty's new found strength caused her to bravely pull at the woman's jacket again and brought her down to eat dirt. Kitty did this repeatedly because it was the only thing she knew to do. Archlight decided to stay on the ground but was now crawling her way to safety. She couldn't believe she had been diminished to this state by such a useless mutant.
"Go Shadowcat!" The X-Men yelled to her. "Kick her while she's down!" Kitty was feeling daring because of the sudden praise. She kicked Archlight in the tummy. Archlight yelled in pain and looked up at her with ire.
"Get up, stupid!" Kitty yelled although her shaking voice betrayed her fierce façade. From one of the corners of the arena Callisto saw the demise of her fellow mutant. She got up and ran towards Kitty. She waited for the point when Kitty was about to dig another kick into Archlight and then she threw a forceful elbow into the side of Kitty's head knocking her off guard. Kitty immediately fell to the ground phased mentally but un-phased physically. In a wrestling move she saw on TV, Callisto leaped into the air then brought her entire body crashing onto Kitty's in a crushing blow. The air was knocked out of Kitty as was her consciousness. All the men from the bleachers stood up in shock. A mixture of concern and awe in their faces.
Shadowcat – Seventh place
"You've been X-terminated, Scaredy-Cat!" Callisto said standing up. She nudged Kitty's body but the girl didn't move, too deep in La-La land to feel it. The Brotherhood cheered while the X-Men booed. Nightcrawler teleported over to Kitty, grabbed her, then teleported back to the bleachers with the unconscious girl in his arms.
It was then that the other women were getting up from off the ground in their corners of the arena. Rogue was the first to act.
"Callisto! You bitch! You didn't have to be so mean!"
"What are you going to do about it? Think you can touch me to death? You'll have to catch me!" Callisto said from where she stood in the middle of the arena. At the end of her sentence she had zipped to four different spots as she taunted Rogue. Rogue hadn't been able to hold onto Callisto's leg long enough to gain her power, but she was able to grab a few memories of hers. From the top of her lungs Rogue shouted to everyone in the arena.
"Callisto has a girl crush on Angelina Jolie!" Callisto's jaw dropped in extreme surprise.
"What the hell? I'm not gay!"
"I didn't say you were gay. I said you have a girl crush on Angelina Jolie!" Rogue yelled the last sentence again.
"Shut the hell up!" Callisto said, her fists tightening irately. "That was only in the Tomb Raider movies!"
"Callisto used to practice French kissing on her brother!"
"Dammit, Dixie Whore, I was ten years old! We were kids!"
"When Callisto was eighteen she let a friend of hers drive her to the local putt-putt place where he asked her to-" Rogue felt a swift punch cross painfully across her face, her sentence left forgotten in the air.
"Think you know everything, ho?" Another punch, this time to the tummy caused Rogue to double over. Callisto went to jab her elbow into the side of her head when Jean held her hand out and sent some of the nearby metal from the broken bleachers into Callisto. The metal punctured her arm and Callisto yelled in surprise and pain.
Mystique heard Callisto yell and she got up off the ground and ran to the source of Callisto's pain. From behind Mystique placed a kick into Jean and sent her sprawling. Archlight came over to Callisto and tried to take the metal shard out of her leg when she felt Rogue grab her by the arm and begin to drain her of her powers.
"She's got me! She's got me!" Archlight yelled in panic as most people who find themselves under Rogue's power generally tend to do kind of like someone finding a snake wrapping itself around your leg. Very frightening. Callisto kicked Rogue in the stomach making her rear up and tumble backwards, her hold on Archlight gone but a few more memories taken. Rogue recovered before she found herself in the dirt again. She looked at Archlight and gave a mean smile.
"Archlight paid a guy to help her lose her virginity last year!" All the men looked at each other and laughed. There were a lot of hushed whispering after that.
"Augh!" Archlight yelled in shock. That was certainly something she wanted kept to herself for the rest of her life. "You are such a bitch!" Archlight took after Rogue but the younger girl was faster. As Archlight chased her, Rogue continued shouting.
"Archlight has an autograph picture of Fabio she kisses every night!" Archlight was filled with murderous rage. She leaped at Rogue but the girl dodged the flying woman and Archlight fell onto the ground. Rogue ran off laughing. Archlight got up, targeted the running Rogue and clapped her hands as she followed her with her gaze. The wave traveled swiftly across the arena, coming to Rogue and knocking her over as she fell face forward into the dirt.
From the middle of the room, Mystique was busy kicking Jean Grey's ass. Physically Jean was no where near a match for Mystique. Once Mystique had kicked Jean to the ground from behind there was no way she could regain her bearings as Mystique laid into her with more thrusts of her powerful fists. Mystique was a fighter, there was no doubt about that.
Storm saw that Jean was in trouble. She unleashed a wind that swept over to the middle of the arena and sent Mystique careening back, landing on the ground a few feet away.
It was then that Jean was able to see Archlight in front of her. Archlight was running towards Rogue and was about to unleash a barrage of shockwaves when Jean got up and used her powers to cause the shockwaves to hurtle towards Callisto who stood across the arena from Jean.
Callisto saw Jean motion with her hands, her eyes on Callisto, and she immediately knew what the telekinetic had planned. Callisto quickly whooshed away before the shockwaves hit the metallic walls with a deep resonating steel sound.
Archlight, realizing that her waves were being deflected, turned to Jean with anger. Jean tightened her leather clad fists and squared her shoulders. The two glared at each other with hate. They had been brawling continually since the catfight had started, their powers almost equally matched. There was a moment as everyone in the room stopped to watch the two, the tension between them unbearably thick. Archlight tensed up, then began to sprint towards Jean as fast as she could. Jean sprinted towards Archlight, her face contorted in a mask of rage. They both emitted yells as they both raised their hands to unleash the strengths of their powers. They were mere feet away from each other when the strength of their powers launched the other skywards with amazing force. Both Jean and Archlight went sailing backwards. It was clear that they were both already unconscious by the strike of the other's power. It was only salt to the wound that they both hit the opposite walls of the arena (which were at least three hundred feet away) and came sliding down, their slackened bodies lay on the ground lifeless.
"Oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" All the men echoed as they watched the two women get knocked out of the fight. Nightcrawler went to go retrieve Jean's unconscious body as Jamie multiplied himself three copies and went to go get Archlight. Both were brought back to the bleachers as Iceman and Pyro created water for them by heating Bobby's ice.
Jean Gray – Tied: Fifth place
Archlight – Tied: Fifth place
And then there were four. Rogue, Mystique, Storm and Callisto all glanced at each other before suddenly rising back into their catfight. When Mystique had been hurled away by Storm's drafts, it brought up an intense anger in her. Mystique ran towards Storm and plowed her shoulder into her chest as she tackled her onto the ground.
Rogue went to go rescue Storm but Callisto zipped in front of her and took her down with a sweep of her foot. Rogue got up, pissed off that she kept finding herself on the ground. She tried to catch Callisto but the woman was quick. Rogue took a deep breath and shouted as loud as she could.
"Callisto played with herself in the shower this morning!" Callisto stopped in front of Rogue. She was fuming, her words coming out in gritted teeth.
"I did not you little liar!"
"I know." Rogue grabbed Callisto's earrings and yanked them off. Callisto wailed in pain but only for a short moment as Rogue took her out with punch to the stomach. Callisto doubled over and Rogue dropped her elbow hard onto the back of her head.
Callisto – Fourth place
"Jaime! You might want to come get her!" Rogue shouted mockingly as she looked towards Storm and Mystique. Storm was on the losing side of the battle. Already she was starting to look weakend by the constant flurries of swift tae kwon do moves Mystique expelled upon her. Rogue ran up to Mystique and kicked her on the side of her body away from Storm. Mystique stumbled backwards but was too tough to be brought down again. Storm managed to get up from off the ground. She was battered and bruised but still in the fight.
"Ready?" Rogue asked her.
"Let's take down Magneto's bitch." Storm replied. They came at Mystique who was more than ready for them both. She leaped into the air and brought her feet out in front of her so that the two X-Women practically ran into her kicks. Mystique landed on her back but rolled backwards, never losing control of the situation. She was up on her feet in time to see the two X-Women fall flat on their backs. Their groans of pain emitting from their throats.
Mystique quickly took Storm's shape while neither of them were looking. She went to Storm's lying form and dragged her into a standing position.
"What the hell?" Storm said seeing Mystique for the first time.
"What the hell?" Mystique imitated.
Rogue sat up and then realized what Mystique had done. Rogue had no idea which one was the real Storm.
"Uh, Storm?"
"Yes?" They both said. "You're not me!" Again, Mystique echoed Storm making it impossible to tell which one was the real Ororo Munroe.
"What grade did I get on my last paper?"
"B plus." Said the Storm on the right. Rogue attacked the Storm on the left. Although she had been caught Mystique did not drop her disguise. She quickly dodged Rogue's quick punch and sent Rogue flying backwards with a swift counter punch into the girl's kidney. As Rogue went down Mystique grabbed Storm's cape and then brought her towards her where Mystique placed a hold around Storm in a tight embrace.
Rogue got up off the ground and saw the struggle between the two Storms. Rogue guessed correctly which was Mystique and she ran over to her and leaped in the air with leg extended prepared to break Mystique's spine. Mystique had heard Rogue coming. Just as she figured Rogue was about to lay a powerful kick into her, Mystique turned Storm and herself around so that Rogue's was caught flying towards Storm. In mid air Rogue realized her mistake but it was too late to change it as she felt her foot drive deep into Storm's chest. The impact sent them all to the ground but Mystique got up and watched as Rogue went to Storm in horror.
"I'm so sorry, Storm!" But Storm couldn't hear her. She was out like a light. Kurt poofed over to Storm, collected her sadly in his arms, and poofed back to the bleachers where he cradled her body, dressed her wounds and fed her water.
Storm – Third place
And then there were two. Rogue glared at Mystique evilly but Mystique held only an amused smile on her face as she changed back to her original form.
"Smooth move, Exlax." Mystique said condescendingly. Rogue was extremely pissed off. She was determined to beat the shit out of Mystique if it was the last thing she ever did.
"I know it was you who tricked me into going to the train station." Rogue said. Mystique cocked her head to the side, a pitiful smile on her lips.
"Oh, did you just figure that out today after you took my memories? My, you're much dumber than I thought. How can Charles possibly call himself a professor?"
"Don't talk about the Professor that way! He's a much better leader than Magneto ever will be." The tension between them was palpable. Their words came out emphatically, their syllables stressed to the highest degree.
"Do you hear yourself? You actually believe that pacifist?"
"Yes! How can you possibly stand by a terrorist?"
"Your precious Professor once did."
"Well, your precious Erik is still in love with him." Mystique finally let her anger show.
"You lie. You've lied all day! Erik loves me!"
"I didn't lie about that. When did you ever visit Erik in prison?"
"How could I! What could I have done?"
"Well, while you did nothing, Erik was enjoying the Professor's company." Out of pure rage Mystique sprang at Rogue.
"Erik loves me! We're in love!" Mystique shouted contemptibly. Mystique threw everything she had at Rogue. Although Rogue was blocking fairly effectively she was aware that Mystique was bound to get her at some point. Mystique continued attacking Rogue, backing her away from the crowd that was straining to see the fight from the bleachers.
"He doesn't love you!" Rogue shouted. "He never has!" This increased Mystique's wrath. She swiftly side kicked and finally connected to Rogue's vulnerable spots. Mystique kicked Rogue's shin hard enough to make her stagger and then she plowed a right hook into Rogue that sent her sprawling.
Mystique changed into Rogue.
"I saw Logan kiss Jean in the forest near Alkali Lake." Mystique said in Rogue's voice. "At least I have Erik. You can't even get close to that beast." Rogue got up in a frenzy. She flew at Mystique but Mystique side stepped and tripped Rogue. Laughing she waited for Rogue to make another move. When she did Mystique tripped her again and laughed some more. The group from the bleachers were seeing double. The two were far enough away so that some of them already forgot which one was which.
Rogue got up and started taking her outfit off, baring as much skin as possible. Mystique frowned, knowing this was going to get more difficult. Rogue was in her white cotton shirt and blue panties, posed and ready to duke it out again.
"All right, you pathetic clown!" Rogue shouted at her. "I'm ready for you!" Mystique glared hard at her then morphed into the new Rogue. The crowd at the bleachers groaned knowing they would most likely lose their ability to distinguish between the two. Rogue came at Mystique, trying to get her into a bear hug. Mystique repeatedly slapped Rogue's hands away and knocked her to the ground as often as possible though it was getting harder to repel her attacks. Rogue was determined to win, Mystique could see it in her eyes.
Rogue leaped at Mystique and as her hands were slapped away, rogue tumbled onto Mystique causing them both to fall backwards, Rogue on top of her. Mystique felt the pull of Rogues skin contact and she jumped up quickly before Rogue could catch her. The view of the two scantily clad Rogues was causing a lot of heat for many of the guys. Pyro and Bobby refused to stand up and cheer for Rogue. They simply shouted positive remarks from where they sat.
Rogue got up and returned to her attempts to take out Mystique but the blue woman danced around her in stunning displays of tae kwon do moves. She was hard to catch. In fact the only person really to have ever caught her was Erik and that was by entirely different methods.
Again, Rogue was able to knock Mystique down and she grabbed onto her tightly once she did. They wrestled on the ground and Mystique could feel the pull become stronger the more contact Rogue made. Mystique threw a hard punch at Rogue and caught her under the chin. Rogue's head went back and she fell backwards but was able to keep conscious though she had a killer headache. Mystique got up and motioned for Rogue to try to catch her. At this point, everyone had lost track of which Rogue was which again.
The two Rogues duked it out, each one throwing and taking punches till they were both bleeding and looking worn out. This continued while the screams and shouts from the sidelines generated an excited buzz over the completion of the fight. The speculation of the outcome was killing them. Rogue continued to slay Rogue, the other one was getting in a few forceful punches to the other. It looked like a fight to the death as they threw kick after kick and punch after punch, both of them now connecting to the other frequently. It was like watching a Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots match.
Rogue wound her fist back and hurled it at Rogue, only to have Rogue duck and heave a final uppercut up under Rogue's jaw causing Rogues head to snap backwards. Rogue and the others on the bench watched in what felt like slow motion as Rogue went sprawling backwards, collapsing onto the ground behind her in a cloud of dust.
The entire arena was heavy with the solid silence that followed. Everyone looked on as Rogue stumbled over to the downed rogue and lightly kicked her in the side. Downed Rogue didn't budge. Who had won? No one knew. They watched in complete silence and anticipation as Rogue stumbled over to the people on the bleachers. Blood was trickling down her face. Bruises were beginning to form on her body. She made her way to them, never giving them any hint as to if she was Rogue or Mystique. She walked over to Logan…and stood before him, a slight smile on her face. Logan breathed out heavily. He was still under Magneto's control and was not able to stand up and take her but he closed his eyes as she reached out for him, ready to heal her with the pull of her powers. He had not expected the biting slap across his face. He opened his eyes quickly, already showing anger in the dark brown orbs.
"That's for stabbing me at Liberty Island." The Brotherhood rose up in a deafening cheer as Mystique changed back into her normal form and went to Magneto who embraced her in a victory kiss.
"What is going on here!" Everyone looked up suddenly as a deep voice rang out at the entrance to the room. At the top of the stairs was Professor Xavier in his immaculately fine clothes and Warren behind him pushing his wheelchair. Nobody moved or said anything for a while, all feeling like children caught doing something bad. Magneto was the first to speak up.
"Charles! How good it is to see you!" Erik felt Mystique circle her arms tighter around his waist. He noticed her gaze towards Charles was not very welcoming.
"As it is you, Erik. But please inform me of this commotion I heard all the way from outside." He said in all his politeness. He looked and saw that all the women except for Mystique was lying unconscious on the bleachers. He glanced towards the arena and gasped.
"What is Rogue doing out there unconscious and indecently exposed! Someone go get her!" Kurt teleported over to her, picked her up, grabbed her clothes then teleported her back to Bobby and Pyro who immediately tried to put her clothes on, though it was difficult. Kinda like dressing a giant Barbie Doll.
"Wolverine, go heal her." Magneto released Wolverine who gave him a gruff glance then went to Rogue's side. "Erik, you have a lot of explaining to do, old friend."
"I believe it is you who has the explaining to do, Charles." Magneto smiled up at the Professor. "Old friend."
Winner: Mystique – but she's the Boss's girl. She's always a winner.

Final Score:
X-Men - 6
Brotherhood - 7
Draws - 2
Don't try to correct my math. I did it on purpose. The women in this catfight count individually and since four X-men and two "Brothers" went down I just added those to the numbers.

X-Men fan: Sorry, Rogue didn't win but she did come in second.
00mrdragon00: I wanted so badly to write the Professor into this scene but I figured he never would have allowed the catfight to happen so I had to make him enter afterwards. I promise there will be lots of Charles in the next chapter. In fact its mostly about him.
AngelofSnow: You're my favorite reviewer obviously! I'm awaiting your next chapter to Healing with crazy anticipation! Thanks so much for improving my latest chapter. The story would have been dull without you.
The 42: Glad you liked my fic! Broken ankle! That totally blows! Hope this makes the time pass by quicker.
Frankie: Haha! You make me laugh! More Prof X to come. Admittedly I was laughing when I wrote the Juggernaut+Mystique 4 EVA bit. Sometimes I crack me up.
Shy FX: Thanks for reviewing! Yay! You putting me in your favorites made my day! I hope this latest chapter makes yours!
Next chapter: Professor Xavier! Finally, he gets to be involved in the story. Lot's of making up and plenty of making out. Plus, why did the X-Men invade Magneto's fortress island? We'll find out next time!
