Chapter 1: Strategy X (Key)
The Bayville cheerleaders cheered for the home team as they as well as everyone else from the high school exclaimed, "Touchdown! Touchdown!" Sora beamed, "Man, this games getting good!" Scott smiled, "I'm glad you're enjoying."
Meanwhile, back in the game. Duncan Mathews exclaimed to his teammates, "Blue 22! Blue 22! Hut! Hut!" Then the play went into action the other Bayville football players defended Mathews as he try to make a pass. However, seeing that, none were available he dodged an visitor football player and ran at the goal. He kept running towards it until someone brought him down but he already made to the goal. "TOUCHDOWN BAYVILLE!"
Jean then took a few photos with here camera of the result. Duncan smiled, "Hey, Jean. Is that one for the yearbook." Jean giggled no this ones for my personal collection. Thank so my for providing a addition ticket for my friend."
"Hey, anything for you." Duncan smiled, but then thought, "As long as it isn't Summers..." Meanwhile, two young girls sat and watched the game. A young girl with long brunette hair cheered, "What a play! Riku did pretty good too, didn't he, Kairi?" The girl with short red hair smiled, "I'm sure Riku did fine, Shelphie."
"I still can't believe you two broke up, Kairi. If I was dating that man, I'd never let go." Shelphie replied. Kairi pointed out, "You'd say that to about of the football players out here." Shelphie nodded, "Fair point, we did you two break up?"
"Shelphie it was just one date. And we'd both agreed were better off as just friends than boyfriend and girlfriend." Kairi answered. Selphie frowned, "I guess that makes sense. So, which football player are you interested in?"
"None. I'm done with the mayor's girl falls in love with the football player story. I'll find someone else some day." Kairi smiled. Scott fiddled around with his quarter as Scott's eyes narrowed at Duncan. Sora whispered, "Hey, Scott. You have that jealous look again." Scott snapped out of it, "Huh, sorry, Sora."
"It's alright. I know you've been crushing on Jean since forever." Sora answered. Paul, Scott's normal best friend smiled, "Wow...you told him...aren't like the three of you close. I would think that he would tell Jean about everything."
Scott smiled, he introduced Sora to Paul and they became fast friends. Although, this wasn't a surprise to him. Sora wanted to be everyone's friend. "Sora's not the kind of person who goes around telling other people's secrets." Sora replied, "But I still think you should let Jean how you feel."
"Hey, Sora, why don't you get us some all popcorn?" Scott told him. Sora beamed, "Popcorn!" With that, he rushed off. Scott called out, "And make sure you don't run anyone over!"
"He's done that before?" Paul asked. Scott nodded, "Only when he's excited, which is most of the time." Paul laughed, "He never grew up has he?"
"No, no, he hasn't." He replied. Back with Kairi, she stood up, "I'm off to get a Soda, can I get you anything?"
"Nah, I'm good." Selphie replied. Kairi nodded as she went to a the school's concession stand. She was about to get in line when someone slammed into her. Sora stopped to realize he ran over someone...again, "Oh, man! Sorry! I didn't look at where I was..." He offered help her up when he got a good look at her...she was beautiful... Kairi smiled, "It's okay. You didn't mean it."
As Sora pulled her up, he started babbling, "Are you hurt...cause, I can take you to the school nurse...if I knew where she was...because I'm new here...Well, I will be...tomorrow...but if there's anything..." Kairi stopped him, "I'm fine. Really."
"Oh...good." Sora said nervously. Kairi smiled, "So, you're going to be a new student here, tomorrow, huh?" Sora couldn't speak he was so shy nodded. Kairi giggled at his shyness, he was kinda cute, "Well, then I welcome you to our school. I'm Kairi."
"S...Sora..." He nodded. He didn't know how, but he believed this was the beginning of a beautiful friendship...meanwhile as Duncan walked out of the field with Jean on of his teammates pointed out, "Hey, check it out." Duncan turned to where he was pointing at to see a teenager going under the bleachers, "Tolansky's at it again."
Todd Tolansky was known to pit pocket of people's wallets. Todd had just stolen another wallet, took all the money out and tossed the wallet aside. Duncan smirked, looks like he found another punching bag. He turned to their coach, "Hey, coach? Can we be excused for a second?"
Their coach checked the scoreboard before nodding, "Sure, just hurry back." Duncan nodded as he and two of his friends went off to go after Todd. Little did they know, that their shadows came off of them. They rose up for a second to look at Sora, who was still talking to Kairi. Their red eyes narrowed as they went back to the ground and headed in his direction. Jean turned her head for a second, she had thought she sensed something...but there was nothing there.
Scott continued to fiddle with his quarter, when he dropped it, "Hey!" But it was too late, the coin had fallen under the bleachers. Scott groaned, "Aw man! My cash!" He had already given the rest of it to Sora so he could get some snacks. He then noticed a hand coming out of the bleachers and stole someone's wallet. "Would you look at that? Looks like someone's making a collection."
"Should we call the cops?" Paul asked. Scott stood up, "Let's put that option on hold. When Sora comes back, keep an eye on him until Jean or I get back." Paul nodded as Scott went to handle the mystery thief.
Back with Sora and Kairi, they had just gotten both the popcorn and soda. Sora asked, "So, what's school like for you?" Kairi replied, "Honestly? It's has it's ups and downs. However, as long as you keep up with your homework and have plenty of friends. You should be able make it by. Do you need someone to show you around?"
"Scott and Jean actually agreed to make sure I don't get lost on my first day." Sora replied. Kairi rasied an eyebrow, "Scott Summers and Jean Grey? The two who live at that other school?"
"Yeah, their my two best friends. You see, when I was eleven I showed up, I showed up at Professor Xavier's school with no memory of who I am or where I came from. He offered me a place in his home and the Professor as well as Scott and Jean have looking out for me ever since." Sora explained to her as he offered her some popcorn. Kairi frowned, "I'm fine, thanks. I actually know what's it's like. When I was little I also showed up in Bayville with no memory of where I came from."
"Really? Do you think we knew each other?" Sora wondered. Kairi shrugged, "It's a small world. So...I was wondering..." But before Kairi could answer her question. Something swiped her purse, "Hey! My purse!" Sora dropped the popcorn and turned to see where the shadow went to and chased after it. "Hey, that doesn't belong to you!"
"Sora, wait..." But he was already gone. Kairi tried to go for her phone to call the cops to help out her new friend but she left it in her purse, "Dang it!" Kairi paused to think; Sora said his friends were Jean and Scott. She had to tell them what had happened...
Back with Todd, he pulled out the money out of another wallet as the rest of the purses and wallets. Todd smirked to himself, "Got another one." But then someone grabbed in from behind and threw him in the mud. Duncan and his teammates stood towering over him, "Well, well, well, if it isn't Toddy Tolansky picking up some spare change."
Todd laughed nervously, "Uh...hi, Duncan...I can explain..." However, Duncan wouldn't hear it, "Shut up, frog face!" He then picked Todd back up and slammed him into the wall. One of the football players smirked, "Let's crush him, Dunk."
"Let's not, Dunk." Everyone turned to attention to Scott Summers, "Let's just all chill. The wallets are still here. How about we have him give him back the cash. No harm done." Todd seemed to like that idea, "Yeah, yeah... See here's the money." Todd showed Duncan that he still had it on him. Duncan just glared at Scott, "Why do you care about this slime ball so much, Summers?"
"Not much, but I'm not crazy about three against one either so, how about we settle this peacefully?" Scott offered. Duncan replied, "I think me and my buddies are going to squash this slime ball, so you and your sun glasses at night can just mind your own business." He then turned his attention back to Todd and threw him into the mud once more. Scott was tempted to use his optic blast on him but he knew he had to keep his powers a secret for everyone's own good. Duncan was about to step on Toad when Scott grabbed him from behind, "I said knock it off!"
"Hey!" Duncan exclaimed tried to get himself free but Scott threw him to the other football players, knocking them all down. Todd use this as an opportunity to run or in this case hope away like a frog or toad. As the football players tried to get back up, they realized this as well, "He's getting away!"
They dropped Duncan to go after him. Duncan's eyes narrowed as he growled, "Big mistake, Summers!" Scott raised his fists ready for a fight. As Duncan and Scott engaged each other, Jean just happened to follow where the two when to, "Scott?" Her eyes widened as she saw what was happening, "Scott! No!"
Scott paused to look at Jean however this provided Duncan with a distraction to lay a hit on him, knocking his glasses off. Jean exclaimed, "Scott!" He tried to close his eyes as quickly as he could but he was already too late. The optic blast fired knocking Duncan to the ground and causing a hit a propane tank causing it to explode. The explosion destroyed and abandoned garage as well as disturbed the football game causing a small panic. Jean had no idea what to say or do...
An half an hour later, the fire department arrived and quickly put out the fires and a mysterious limo came driving by. On the passenger seat was the Professor witnessing the current events. Duncan wasn't too badly hurt but the balance came to check up on him. With no ordinary humans nearby Jean went to help Scott. See saw his special glasses was under some burning debris. "Hmmm...too hot to touch." She thought, "At least with the hands."
She then used her telekinesis to remove the burring debris and retrieve Scott's glasses. She turned to Scott curled up against the wall with his eyes tight shut. Jean walked up to him, "You okay?" She place his glasses back on him, with realizing his unique glasses was back on he opened his eyes, "Jean...oh...wow...I..."
She shushed him, "I know..." They turned to see through the bleachers the ambulance removing Duncan's helmet. She told him, "Look you better find Sora and split..."
"You okay, son?" Asked the doctor. Duncan groaned, "Oh, my head...can't remember..." The doctor shined a light into his left eye, "Looks like a concussion..." He told the fire fighter chief...the chief looked to where the explosion originated. He tried to think how it all started, "Looks to me like..."
Before he could say his response, Professor Xavier put a completely different thought in his head making him change his answer, "Uh...o-of course, there must've been a leak in the propane tank."
"Excuse me!" They turned to see the mayor's daughter running to them, "Are Jean Grey and Scott Summers?" Scott nodded, "Uh...Kairi? Right?" She nodded, "If your looking for Sora he's not here. Before all this happened, someone swiped my purse and Sora went after the thief!"
"What?! But Tolansky was just...that must have been someone else." Scott assumed. Kairi asked, "I haven't heard from him since... I hope nothing horrible happened to him." Scott place a hand on her shoulder, "Go home, Kairi. Sora will be fine." Kairi nodded, hoping that they were right.
"Jean..." Scott began. She nodded, "I'm on it!" She used her telepathic powers to locate Sora. After a few minutes, she found him still chasing the thief. "He's alright. He still is chasing the purse snatcher."
"Seriously, how can he have so much energy yet sleeps for at any opportunity he gets? Send me his last known location I'll go after him, you check on Duncan to see if he remembers anything out of the ordinary." Scott told her. She nodded, "Be sure you both come back in one piece."
Scott nodded and they went their separate ways. Jean walked up to Duncan, "Duncan? Are you alright?" He smiled, "Hey, Jean. Yeah. You know me, skull like concrete." He gives a light tap on his head, causing him to wince in pain, "Ow..." Jean just smiled, "Aw...you poor baby..."
As much as he hated see Duncan and Jean together, Sora needed him more. Before he left he ran into Todd, the pit pocket said to him, "Uh...Thanks. I mean it yo." Scott only response was, "Yeah..." He then ran to his car, and started up, "You better be in one piece when I find you."
As Scott drove off, he failed to notice that caught and at a fly with his tongue and hopped away. Professor Xavier told his driver, Strom, "Things seem to be under control, for now. Now, we have to hurry. We have a train to catch." With that, Storm and Charles drove away from the football field...
Sora didn't know how long it's been but he had finally cornered the thief, "It's over...huh?" He took a good look at the creature...it put the purse down as it's eyes narrowed at him. It the spoke inside his head, "We have come for you, my liege." Sora was confused, "What? Are...are you supposed to be a mutant? And why did you call me, your Liege?" Just then he noticed the monster wasn't alone. There were allot more of them and they surrounded Sora. Three of them pounced on him, but Sora doges roll out of the way.
Sora looked around and found a nearby baseball bat nearby, he picked it up so we can depend himself from these creatures. He did his best to fight them off but the bat had no effect on these creatures. When was about to sneak up behind him when a red beam blasted it away. Sora turned to see Scott put back his glasses, "Looked like you could use some help."
"Thanks, you have any ideas what these things are? I thought they were mutants at first but I'm beginning to think otherwise." Sora asked as he blocked another attack. Cyclops replied, "No clue but whatever they are, they aren't friendly to tell you that."
One of the larger ones try to smash, Scott but he removed his glasses blasting the monster away. Unfortunately, it's just got back up and went back for more. "Ugh, the just keep on coming!" Sora and Scott were starting to get overwhelmed, when all of a sudden the bat Sora had been using began to shine and glow with light, "Wha..."
Then when the light show was over, the bat was replaced with a giant key, "Um...Scott? What's happening?" He replied, "You're powers...they must now be activating." Sora saw three of the creatures try to pounce at him again. He swung his new weapon which cut threw the creatures causing them to fade away. Sora stared at this weapon...it didn't look like much but these creatures were vulnerable to this weapon. Sora's eyes narrowed, as he charged at the creatures cutting each and everyone of them down. Scott realized they were turning the tide with Sora's new found power so he provided cover for Sora, as he finished the battle.
With the battle over the weapon Sora had disappeared. Sora beamed, "We won! Yeah! We're the X-Men!" Scott cleared his throat, Sora turned to him and frowned, "Am I in trouble?" Scott signed, "No...let's drop off Kairi's purse then return home. I think I might be in trouble with the Professor."
"Huh? What happened?" Sora asked as he picked up the stolen purse. Scott replied, "Get in the car and I'll explain on the way..."
In the subway, the train had finally made a halt and people started to come off as soon as the doors opened. Ororo looked around for the new student. She saw boy stare at them, "Kurt?"
"That's not Kurt." Charles told her, he then gestured to the other side of the train, "This is." Just as he said that, a cloaked figure with suitcases came out of the train and turn to the Professor and Ororo.
Meanwhile on the other part of the world, Logan rode his motorcycle through the rode until he stopped at an nearby store. He parked his bike, went inside and removed where he noticed a newspaper title. 'EXPLOSION AT HIGH SCHOOL: STUDENTS ESCAPE SERIOUS INJURIES IN FREAK ACCIDENT.' Logan thought to himself, "Hmmmm...trouble at home."
"You want the paper?" Asked the elderly employee. Logan picked up the paper, "That's why I'm holding it, Bub. Bottle of water too. Cold." Logan began reading the article as the employee went to get the water for him, "Warm weather for this time of year."
When he placed the water down Logan gave him the money and then snatched the water. Then when the employee wasn't look Logan popped out a claw and sliced the bottle open. He drank the whole thing in on sip. The old man's eyes widened at the cut opened bottle as Logan left, "Recycle that, will ya."
Logan realized it was time to go home. He packed up the paper and started to drive back, unknowingly being spied on by his archenemy, Sabertooth...
The next day, Scott and Sora had to tell Jean what had happened. The told her everything for the creatures to Sora's new founded power and how it was the creatures' only weakness. They returned the purse to Kairi, she hugged Sora happy to see he was alright. Both Jean and Scott teased him about, how he hasn't even been to school for one day and girls are already interested in him. This caused Sora to blush. They agreed to tell the Professor about this when he was available. Sora and Scott were already dressed and ready; they stood by the door waiting for Jean. Sora was catching a few more z's while waiting while Scott knocked on the door, "Give it up Jean, it's hopeless. Sora actually fell asleep again waiting for you."
"I'll be done in a second." Jean replied as she brushed her hair. Scott continued, "C'mon, we're going to be late. We don't want Sora to get detention on his first day." Jean just continued to finish up, "Almost done."
"Look, do you want me to blow this door..." Scott threatened as Jean finally opened the door, "...down?" Jean just smiled, "So, are we going or what?" She closed Scott's mouth and shook Sora, "C'mon, sleepyhead. Time for school." Sora's eyes opened as he woke up and exclaimed, "FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!" Sora began running towards the home entrance. Jean and Scott followed the younger teen. Scott called out, "We heading out, Professor."
"Just a moment you three." Charles replied causing the three to stop, "Come here. I want you to introduce you to someone." Sora beamed, "A new student? Sweet! That means a new friend!" Scott and Jean smiled at his child instincts. They entered the room with Charles and a cloaked figure.
"This is Kurt Wagner. He arrived here late last night." Charles introduced him. Sora offer to shake his hand, "Hey, Kurt. This is Jean and Scott. And I'm Sora. How are you doing?" Kurt was hesitant at first but the Professor reassured him, "It's alright, Kurt. You're among friends here." This seemed to satisfy Kurt and shook Sora's hand with his three fingers, "Hello."
This seemed to shock both Scott and Jean but Sora, if he was shocked he didn't show it, just smiled, "So...what can you do? Where are from? Is it nice there?" Jean smiled, "Sora, Kurt just got here, don't freak him out."
"Sorry." Sora frowned. Charles smiled, " I was just telling Kurt to how I made this institute for students that gifts aren't always an asset. Right, Scott." Scott replied, "So...you...heard about last night."
"Difficult not to." Charles raised his voice a little, "It was on all the news channels." Scott explained, "It was a bad situation and it was an accident. I'm sorry." Professor Xavier nodded, "I know. Thankfully, no one was badly hurt and the true cause wasn't discovered but you need to be more careful, Scott."
"C'mon, Professor, I'm packing a bazooka behind the eye ball! What do you want from me?!" Scott asked. Charles replied, "Control Scott. That's what you're here to learn. That's why you're all here." He then turned back to Kurt, " Scott eyes emit a optic blast beam."
"Cool." Kurt smiled as he removed his hood and revealed his blue furry face. Jean asked, "What about you, Kurt? Do you have a special gift that brought you here?" He replied by teleporting from one end of a room to another, "Maybe." This impressed the three other students, "Whoa!"
"Ya, and to answer your other questions. I come from Germany and it's quite nice there." Kurt replied to Sora's previous questions. Sora beamed, "Awesome!" Kurt nodded, "Dank, so what can you do?" Sora shrugged, "Well, I'm not exactly a hundred percent sure but..."
"Sora's a rather… an unique case most mutants are born through the X-gene but he never had that gene. When he devolved two hearts, I couldn't detect him on Cerebro..." Scott added, "And his powers just activated the other night too." Charles turned to Scott in shock, "Explain."
"After the whole incident. Sora got separated from us to case a purse thief but the thief and his friends were all these strange creatures. They weren't friendly either." Scott began. Jean continued, "From what they told me, they tried to fight them off but they were barely doing any damage even with Scott's powers but the tied turn when Sora's power activated."
"I summoned a strange giant key that seemed to weaken the creatures like Superman with Kryptonite." Sora explained, "We were able to defeat them then." Charles replied, "That is interesting. Can you show us this power?"
"I'll try. It's been on and off for me." Sora replied. He closed his eyes and raised his hand. It didn't work at first but after a few minutes with a flash of light, the giant key returned. Jean and Kurt's eyes widend, "Whoa!" Charles smiled, "Impressive. However, what you can truly do with this key is still a mystery."
"So...does this mean I can be an X-Man now?" Sora asked eagerly. Charles smiled, "We'll see. We'll talk more about this tonight. You three may go to school now."
An hour later, Principal Darkhölme looked at Sora's papers, "Another one from the Xavier school?" Sora beamed, "That's me!" The Principle looked at his papers, "I don't see anything other than a first name..." Sora smiled sheepishly, "Well, that's because I can't remember who I was before eleven...is that going to be a problem?"
Principle just glared at Sora, who just stared at her, "You don't seem happy right now? Have you tried smiling or think of something funny. That always makes me happy." Raven continued to glare at the boy before handing him his schedule, "Here's your schedule. I expect you to follow it to the letter!"
"No problem, Miss Darkhölme!" Sora saluted her as he received the paper. He left the room as he passed Todd, he said to him, "She seems nice." He then left for class as Principal Darkhölme called, "Tolansky."
Todd hopped on a chair as the principal got a good smell on him, "Ugh! Excuse me a moment, while I open a window." She went off to do so before the smell got too strong, "There." She then turned her attention back on him, "Now, Todd, let's talk about your new friend, Scott Summers."
"What about him? He's cool. Heck, if it wasn't for him those jocks would have squashed my skull flat." Todd explained while he picked his ear. Darkhölme just smirked, "Yes, well...You may have noticed Scott has special powers. There are others like him. Like that boy that just passed you. We need to know more. Much more."
"Look, man, I don't wanna..." Todd began when Darkhölme transform into some kind of demon, "Silence! You will do as your told! Understand?!" Todd was so scared he didn't even move a muscle...
"Whoa! This bedroom...is mine?" Kurt was amazed by how big it was. The professor chuckled at Kurt's reaction, "Yes, Kurt. It's why your parents sent you to us. They knew you would be happy here." Storm joined them with a box in her hands. Kurt frowned, "Happy? How can I be happy when I look like this? I scare people."
"After knowing Sora for years, I'm quite certain he will find a way. However, I have a surprise for you." Charles told him. He the pull out a watch, "Put this on." Kurt did as he was told, and when he did it activated. The blue fur, three fingers and tail was gone. This shocked Kurt, "I don't believe it!" He looked at his reflection, "I'm...I'm normal!"
"Of course you're normal Kurt but not because of that machine." Ororo told him. Professor Xaviar continued, "Strom's right, Kurt. Normal is who you truly are. Never think otherwise." He turned off the hologram, "This is just a disguise so, you don't get persecuted by those who don't understand your gifts."
"I understand, Professor, but none the less..." Kurt said as he turned back on the disguise, "...you rule!" The professor and Storm smiled. They left Kurt's room, when he checked the box. He was shocked but smiled to see his new X-Men uniform inside.
Just then in the class bell rang, informing everyone it was time for the next class. Sora and Kairi shared the same class for the next one so Kairi offered to show Sora were it is. Sora smiled, "Thanks for doing this Kairi."
"No problem. It's the least that I can do for getting my purse back. I'm just glad you didn't get hurt." Kairi smiled. Sora smiled and came up with a quick lie, "It was...no problem...it was just a puppy that wanted to play."
"That's cute." She smiled. Just then a boy with silver hair came walking in, "So, your the hero Kairi told me so much today. You have my thanks as well. Name's Riku." Sora smiled, "Nice to meet you, Riku. I'm..."
"Sora. I know. Kairi told me none stop." Riku smiled. Sora frowned, "So, are you two are...?" Kairi quickly exclaimed, "No!...I-I mean, we're not now. We agreed we're better off just friends." Riku smiled, "In other words, she's available."
Kairi blushed, "Riku..." Sora blushed, "I was just wondering..." Riku nodded, "So...how big of a fan are your of sports." Sora beamed, "I like all kinds or sports and games."
"Okay on the count of three name your favorite ice cream. Don't think about it just name it." Sora nodded, "Okay." Riku counted, "One, two, three..."
"Sea-Salt Ice cream!" They all exclaimed. Much to everyone's' shock, Sora asked, "Favorite Superhero?"
"Captain America!" Everyone exclaimed. Kairi decided on more question, "Favorite Hollywood actor?"
"Robin Williams!" They exclaimed once more. Riku was shocked, "What?!" Sora beamed, "Did we all just become best friends?"
"Yep!" Riku nodded. Kairi looked at the clock, "Did we forget our class is in five minutes."
"Yep!" Riku nodded. They then all headed to the next class together as friends.
An hour later, Scott was getting his lunch from his locker; Sora seemed to be doing pretty well. So far he hasn't slept through any classes and he's already made a good friend, but Jean and himself agreed to check up on him during lunch..."Yo, Summers." He turned to see Todd next pulling some unusual human moves before jumping on top of the lockers. This shocked Scott, after taking a quick look around and confirming it was just the two of them, he replied, "That's quite a jump."
"Surprised? I'm surprised can see it through your still smokes of yours. Here let me help." He then used his tongue to remove Scott's glasses. Thankfully, he closed his eyes from just in time, "Hey!" Todd just waved his glasses, "What's the matter, Summers? Afraid to open your eyes?"
"Obviously, we both know what will happen if I do open my eyes." Scott replied, as he raised his hand to where believe Todd was, "Now, hand me back my shades before I go nuclear on you." Todd nodded, "You got it." He tossed the shades a bit too far, so he used his tongue to catch the placed them back into Scott's hands. He was a bit grossed out by it. He place the glasses back on as he wiped the smile off. Todd continued, "As you can see, you and me have allot in common."
"Yeah. Now we're both slimed." Scott joked. Todd shook his head, "Nope. I mean we aren't like at other people." Scott crossed his arms, "Your point?" Todd just shrugged, "I just want to talk. Get to know each other better. You know..." Todd used his tongue to eat Scott's lunch, bag and all, "...do lunch sometime."
"I'll think about it." He replied as he realized that he needed to make a phone all now. Todd nodded as he went back to the floor, "Yeah, you do that, Summers. I got other stuff to do."
As Todd hopped out the window, Scott went to the school's phone and dialed the Professor. The professor picked up, "Hello, Scott."
"Um...Professor? You know it weirds me out when you do that." Scott replied. Charles apologized, "Sorry. What are you call about?" Scott answered, "One of the students here, he's kinda of like us."
"Yes. Todd Tolansky." Charles confirmed. Scott raised an eyebrow, "You know him?" The Professor explained, "Cerebro just detected him. He must be using his powers openly now."
"Yeah, he's not like the guy I want to room with, he has the personal hygiene of a dead pig." Scott explained. Charles replied, "You know, we can't turn our backs on anyone." Scott nodded, "I know. So, do you want me to bring him in?"
"No need. Talk to you later." The Professor hung up the phone and Scott went to join his friends. Scott spotted, Jean and Sora sitting next to the mayor's daughter and a young football player. Scott knew that he wasn't part of the group the wanted to squash Todd, but he felt uneasy of him. Nonetheless, Scott gave a smile to them, "Hey, guys. How's it going?"
"Not much. Meet my new friends Riku and Kairi." Sora beamed. Riku smiled, "Sora's told us allot about you. It's really nice to meet you." Scott hesitated at first but he remembered Sora was a good judge of character so he shook it, "Same."
"Hey, what happened to your lunch?" Sora wondered. Scott signed, "Long story...we have a new student coming to our school..." Sora smiled, "Really? Wow! Two in a row!" Kairi smiled, "You seem easily impressed."
"Oh, Sora get's impressed by anything he sees." Jean smiled. Scott smiled, "Yeah, like the time he first saw bubbles." Riku smirked as Kairi giggled, "Really?"
"He chased one bubble through the house until he hit a wall." Jean laughed. Sora blushed in embarrassment, "Jean!" Everyone began laughing but eventually Sora joined in the laughter.
Later that evening, now in his new uniform his new boss gave him hoped to the Xavier School. Toad looked at the fence and smirked, "Ha, cake!" He easily leaped over it and headed to the mansion. Above him, Storm flew above him. Professor Xavier wanted to test this new mutant and she was going to give him one. She then began to summon a thunderstorm, as the rain fell Toad observed, "Whoa, now that is freaky."
She cast lightning down on him causing to jump out of the way. He quickly hopped his way to the school.
Meanwhile, Kurt, now in is X-Man uniform. Explored the school, when he saw there was a thunderstorm outside, he was wondering what was going on. Just then, the front doors busted open and Toad was sent flying inside, screaming like a little girl. He bumped in to Kurt causing both to fall down. They quickly got back on the feet and went into their battle stances. Toad was the first to speak, "Whoa! What are you? Some kind of ratty plush toy?"
"The name's Nightcrawler. And at least I don't smell like unwashed underwear." Said the newest X-Man. Toad's eyes narrowed, "Why you fur freak!" Toad tried pouncing on him but Nightcrawler teleported out of the way, confusing Toad. Kurt taunted on the ceiling, "As you Americans would say, 'neener, neener, neener!'"
"That ain't gonna help you, boy!" Toad said as he hopped after him. But Kurt jumped out of the way before Toad could reach him, "You're so slow." Kurt chuckled to himself from the other wall. As Kurt crawled deeper into the mansion, Toad followed as Kurt mocked, "You couldn't catch flies on the windshield."
"Get back here and fight like a man." Toad exclaimed. Just as they left, Storm came inside. Charles nodded, "Yes, it would seem indeed Todd is gifted. He could be one of us." Storm replied, "Sometimes, I think you're good heart, blinds even you."
Just then, they heard a commotion between Kurt and Todd through the hallway. Their fight was destroying stuff in the school as they made their way back to the main entrance with Charles and Ororo. Toad tried catching him with his tongue but Nightcrawler dodged it causing it to destroy several windows instead. The Professor finally spoke up, "That enough! The test is over. Todd Tolansky does have the special X-gene. He is welcomed to join us if he so much desires."
"The only thing I desire is blue boy's fuzzy head!" Toad snapped as he went to attack Kurt once more. This time he was able to catch the unaware X-Man to get close enough to him. Their struggle cause the two of them to fall, thankfully Nightcrawler mangle to teleport them away before they could hit the floor. However, they haven't reappeared in the same room.
Cyclops and Jean now currently in the X-Men uniforms as Sora cam out in his own uniform. Jean smiled and asked, "How does it fit?" Sora replied, "Honestly? It's a bit tight."
"That's okay. Once we have a better understanding with your powers, we should be able to make it more comfortable for you." Scott reassured him. Sora smiled, "Cool. But could we make the gloves, finger less gloves. I feel like I'll have a better grip on my giant key."
"I'm sure that can be arranged." Jean replied. Scott ruffled Sora's when they got a message telepathically from the Professor, "Scott! Jean! Sora! Nightcraller and Toad had teleported in to the danger room!"
"Aw, man! The danger room has automated defensives!" Scott recalled. Jean added, "It'll attack them with everything it's got." Sora added, "Guess, I'm just going to have to learn on the job."
"Seems to look that way." Cyclops smiled. They ran towards the danger room when the creatures from before popped out of the ground. Sora groaned, "Not these guys again!"
"Aren't those the creatures that you guys fought the other night." Jean asked. Scott nodded, "Yeah! Jean, can you take them out with your telepathy?" Jean closed her eyes and focused on the telepathy against the creatures..."Ugh, I can't reach to them, it's like trying to use telepathy on wild animals! Maybe the Professor..."
"I've already tried but I've only reached the same results, Jean. We're not going to be these creatures out this way. I've reached Logan, he's on his way but he might not get here in time." Charles told them. Sora summoned his key, "Guess we're going to have to do this the old fashion way."
Sora cut through the first wave with a single strike, Jean used her telepathy the lift the second wave in the air as Scott blasted them away. They continued to fight there way into the danger room. Meanwhile, in the danger room there was a three way battle between Nightcrawler and Toad against the danger room verses the monsters. Kurt groan, "I can't just catch a break today!"
Just then, the three X-Men enter the room after dealing another wave of monsters. Scott began giving the orders, "I got the canons! Sora, you take care of the monsters! Jean, keep them clear of the tentacles!" Sora and Jean nodded and went to do as they were told, "We're on it!"
Scott fired his optic blast destroying one of the cannons as Kurt took cover. Sora used his new weapon to cut down many on the mystery red eye creatures. A cannon fired upon Sora, with no time to think Sora raised his Keyblade in defense and deflected the laser back in to the cannon destroying. Sora muttered, "Can't believed that worked."
Kurt tried to climb up a wall to avoid the lasers but then an electric tentacle came right at him. However, Jean used her telekinetic powers to move Kurt out of the way. Kurt smiled in appreciation, "You are an angel." Jean joked, "On occasion. How about you? Are you a demon?"
Toad continued to hop out of the way of the attacks from the danger room and the monsters. However, enclosing walls soon trapped Toad and he couldn't hop over them. Right before it could crush him. Scott destroyed one of the walls with his optic beam, "Tolansky! Over here!"
Sora cut down another monster, "Go! We got you covered!" Todd didn't need to be told twice. Scott fired another beam destroying another cannon. The Professor and Storm went to the control room, the least the could do was shut down the danger room so they could deal with the monsters and get Nightcrawler and Toad out of there, "Security Protocol Override! Priority X! Voice Print! Charles Xavier!"
The computer to checked out his voice, "CONFRIRMED. SHUT DOWN IN FIVE SECONDS." Sora and Scott were back to back as they destroyed tentacles, cannons, and monsters. Kurt then realized what this place was, "Ah, now I get it. It's a training area. Watch..."
Nightcrawler teleported behind a nearby cannon, "...I just pull the plug and..." But as he did that, things did not go as planned as the cannon start firing randomly, one was heading straight towards Sora, Cyclops, and Toad, but Sora quickly reflect the blast as he exclaimed, "Kurt! Teleport now!"
Kurt did as he was told as the laser came directly back at the wild cannon, destroying it. Sora grinned, "I think I'm getting the hang of this." The Danger room finally shut down, however Toad was not happy at what he experienced, "Forget this, man! I've seen enough I am out of here!"
Toad began hoping away but Jean tried to stop him, but then the entire mansion began to rumble. Nightcrawler's eyes widened, "What's happening?! An earthquake?!" Sora looked up, "Guys, I don't think we done fighting just yet."
Just then three monsters came in and forged together as one really big one. It looked down at the X-Men. Storm didn't hesitate to join the fight casting down lighting upon it. The monster raised his left arm in defense as Cyclops blasted it with his optic beam. It raised his right arm in defense. Scott eye's narrowed, "Let's see if we can take this thing apart. Kurt, while we got it distracted teleported the arms away! Jean make sure the arms don't go back to the body as long as you can! Sora once Jean gets hold of that things arms..."
"I do my thing!" Sora smirked. Kurt nodded, as he teleported to where the monster was and did was he was told. With the arms away Jean took hold of them. Jean struggled, "Hurry! I...don't know...how much longer...I can...hold this!" Sora nodded. He began whacking at the arms until they was destroyed. As Scott and Storm continued to fire at the monster, Scott exclaimed, "Now go for the Legs! Keep it off balanced!"
Like before, Nightcrawler teleported the legs away, Jean managed to take hold of them as Sora destroyed them. The monster finally had it as it fired lasers all over the place causing everyone to take cover of block the incoming fire. Professor was worried if this was more than the X-Men could handle coinciding this was a threat no one had seen before...but the tide turned when Logan joined the fight. He popped out his claws and cut through the window. Wolverine ordered, "Spikey! Red! Fastball special! Now!"
Sora nodded to Jean as she used her telekinetic powers to throw Sora directly at the monster. Sora and Logan then slashed their blades at the monster. Once landing on their feet, they turned to see the result. The monster fell apart and faded into Darkness. Logan turned to Sora and smirked, "So, first time using your powers in combat, huh? Not too shabby, Bub."
"Logan! Your back!" Sora beamed as he hugged Logan much to his annoyance, "What did I tell you 'bout hugging me Spikey?" Sora let go and frowned, "To not to..."
"Better." Logan crossed his arms. Jean ruffled Sora's hair to cheer him up as Logan turned to Nightcrawler, "So, is elf here the new rookie?" Nightcrawler frowned, "No, I blew it tonight. I nearly got Sora and Scott killed. I'm sorry, Professor. You all been wonderful...but...I guess...I don't belong here."
Nightcrawler then teleported away, the professor exclaimed, "Nightcrawler wait!" Scott then spoke up, "No sweat, Professor. Sora and I got this. C'mon." Sora smiled and nodded. Hopefully, they convinced Kurt to come back. Wolverine turned to Sora as they left for Kurt, Storm walked up to Logan, "What is it?"
"Sora's new powers. I know what it is. And the monsters that attacked us." Logan replied causing Storm and Jean's eyes to widen.
Meanwhile, Kurt had teleported to another part of the mansion. Kurt gasped to see an real cool aircraft he had never seen before, "Whoa! What is this?" The automatic doors opened allowing Sora and Scott to enter the room as Scott answered, "The SR-77-Blackbird." Sora added, "I just call it the Blackbird."
"Faster than the SR-71, plus three times the range and fire power. It's nice, right?" Scott concluded. Kurt nodded, "Yes...is this yours? Please, tell me you get to fly it." Scott replied, "It's ours. Stick around and we'll show you how to fly this bad boy. What do you say? Want to be apart of our team?"
"Please say yes! I like having more friends to hang out with!" Sora beamed. Kurt frowned, "Me? I almost got the two you killed a few minutes ago." Scott smirked, "Yeah...don't do that again..."
Sora placed a hand on Kurt's shoulder, "Kurt, we all make mistakes...Believe me. I made a ton when I first came here..."
Sora was sent fly back to the ground. Scott smirked, "Giving up all ready? C'mon Sora. I thought you were stronger than that!" Jean cheered Sora on, "Sora, you almost had him!"
"What? Now you're teaming up on me?" Scott joked. The even year old nodded as he picked up his wooden sword and went to engage Scott once more...later that day. Sora frowned because he kept feeling like he blew it. Over and over again, Jean placed an hand on his shoulder, "Sora. You see all those dents and nicks you got?" Sora looked to the damaged toy sword, "Each one is proof your learning."
"You're trying to much to move your body. Instead, you should let your body move you." Scott suggested, placed an arm on his shoulder as well, "One day, what's going to make you truly an X-Men is by learning from you mistakes and never give up. Then you'll probably be the best of all of us. Powers or no powers." Sora smiled at his new friends...
"...the point is that we're here to learn from our mistakes. It's why we're all here." Sora finished. Kurt replied, "So, you two don't mind the way I look?" Scott replied, "Dude, just don't hassle me about my shades and will call it even." Sora grinned, "Besides, it's what's on the inside that counts. Also, if it weren't for you, we'd have allot harder time taking that monster out." Kurt grins, "Then we have a deal!"
"Welcome to the team!" Sora grinned. Scott offered, "C'mon, we'll show you were they hide the sodas." They were just about to head up when the professor called them, "In a moment you three. Logan has some information on tonight's attackers and Sora's new powers..."
"The creatures that attack, they'd showed up on Earth and disappear almost 10 years again. S.H.E.I.L.D. called them the Unversed." Logan began, "Fledgling emotions that have taken form, the sole purpose is to feed on negativity."
"So, like when Duncan wanting the beat the daylights out of Toad?" Scott recalled. Kurt added, "Ya, and Toad's anger towards me?"
"That's the general idea." Logan nodded, "S.H.E.I.L.D. managed to keep the situation quiet but were unable to destroy them. When the stopped showing they thought the danger was over...until now." Sora wondered, "So, if they feed on negativity, then why go through all that trouble to steal Kairi's purse or attack the school?"
"If I had to guess, to get to you." Shocking everyone. Logan explained, "Before they disappeared, S.H.E.I.L.D. did find one theory of a powerful weapon they believed that can eliminate this creatures along with any other monsters of the dark. They called it the Keyblade."
"Keyblade?" Sora wondered. Wolverine explained, "It was only a rumor at the time so Fury never looked too much into it. But from what I do know is that it granted the wielder with incredible powers and they the Keyblade chooses it's master and for the first time in a manila, it choose you, spikey."
"Well, at least we have an idea what we're dealing with. Congratulations Sora. Both you and Kurt are the newest members of the X-Men." Professor Xaviar told and Kurt were shock by this before beaming, "All right!" They gave each other a high five. Jean turned to the Professor, "So soon?"
"Don't worry, Jean. We'll help Sora out every step of the way. And he proved himself ready when he went into the danger room today. He'll mange." Charles smiled. Making Jean sign in relief before smiling as well. Meanwhile out side the mansion, the boy in the mask grinned under his mask, "Phase 1 complete..." He then summoned more Unversed and sent them out all over, "Time for phase 2..."
"I can't believe this! You were actually inside and you ran away!" Printable Darkhölme exclaimed. Toad winced, "Hey, I freaked! So sue me, I did what I could!" Her eyes just narrowed at him, "And no doubt the good professor wiped your mind so you can't remember anything!"
Toad shook his head in response. "GET OUT!" She exclaimed. Toad hoped away and once he was out, the principle slammed the door shut and roared as she went back to her true blue form, Mystique. Just then metal rooms in the room floated around her, "You mustn't be so hard on the boy, Mystique. We don't want to thin our ranks now, do we?"
She backed away in fear, "Uh...No, sir. I'll try to more careful." Magento told her, "See that you do. After all these years we found the Keyblader to only learn he's in Charles hands. However, it's only a minor setback. It's only the beginning."
Next time: The X-Impulse
Charles takes Sora and Jean to recruit some new mutants. However, they learn the Lance has a bad attitude and is trying to corrupt the young Kitty Pryde. Can Sora convince her join the X-Men or will they both be new players in Magento's game. Find out next time.
So, to begin why use the Unversed instead of Heartless and Nobodies? Because Vantias is the big baddy other than Magento for this season we'll see more Heartless and Nobodies in the upcoming seasons. And forgive me, I only speak English so just pretend that I wrote Kurt speaking in a German accent. Not entirely sure, how to write that. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy the chapter. Be sure to leave a review. Also, don't forget to follow and fav if you haven't already.
