Chapter 16
"Phoenix"

Kitty searched everywhere for John but couldn't find him anywhere, she was wondering why he came back if he wasn't himself it didn't make sense at all. Finally she gave up, she didn't bother checking the base and went back to Bobby's room to take care of him with Rogue, before she went through the door she leaned her back against the wall and slid down to the floor and began to cry. She couldn't find him, her emotions were everywhere and she began to rub her stomach.

"John... Why did you leave me again?" Her inner voice said. John, the professor, and Storm rushed down into the X-Base They saw that the Med Bay door was destroyed and they all ran inside to see Jean gone, and Logan unconscious. Storm rushed to Logan's side,

"Logan what happened?" She cried. The wolverine stirred awake,

"Jean? Jean!" the feral shouted, sitting up.

"What have you done?" Xavier spat rolling in with John following behind him. Logan unsheathed his claws,

"What the hell is he doing here?!" Logan growled.

"He's with me." Xavier replied. Logan turned to John who was still out of breath and fresh blood caked his face, he looked harmless enough and Wolverine retracted his claws.

"I think she killed Scott..." he sighed.

"What? No... That's not possible..." Storm was in denial.

"I warned you." Xavier hissed, He began to concentrate on his telepathy to locate Jean, "She's left the mansion, but she's trying to block my thoughts. She's so strong. It may be too late."

"Magneto..." John said. Xavier nodded at his response,

"Where?" Logan asked.

"Where it all began." Xavier replied. "We must go, John come with me." He said rolling down the hall.

"You can't be serious he's not coming with us." Logan growled.

"You rather he'd stay here at the house with everyone else?" Storm argued.

"This isn't up for discussion, John's my responsibility and he comes with me." Xavier interrupted. Logan and Storm sighed in defeat and John stuck close to the old man the entire way to Jean Grey's house.

"What are you doing here anyway? You managed to give Magneto the slip?" Logan asked while in the elevator back up into the mansion.

"Something like that..." John replied.

"What happened to you, John?" Storm asked.

"I let Magneto mess with my brain, ok?" John spat.

"But why?" But John began to cough again more blood dripped from his mouth.

"I've said too much... We need to go if we want to get Dr. Grey." John didn't say another word after that. He put back on his goggles, Pyro still raged deep inside. "And My name is Lucius." He spat as the doors opened and he walked ahead of them to the garage, as he walked into the joined hallway he looked to his left to see someone he never suspected on seeing that day, his pregnant lover Kitty Pryde. She stood there with a shocked expression on her face seeing Pyro's face and sleeves and hands covered in blood. Then she saw Xavier, Storm, and Logan come from behind him and her expression turned from shocked to confused, John looked back to the professor,

"Let's go..." he said and they began walking down the hall away from the teen mom,

"John, Wait!" Kitty cried.

"GO BACK TO YOUR ROOM, KATHARINE! You stay there till I get back!" John screamed pointing towards her and walked off until he was gone from her sight, Kitty stood ther shocked but in the end a smile came to her face but faded as she felt something terrible was going to happen. She did as she said and walked back to her room, as she sat at the foot of her bed she pulled out John's lighter and looked at the engraving inside one last time, she finally got the hope she was waiting for and held the lighter close to her heart.

Jean Grey's house.

John and the X-men pulled up to Jean's house, Magneto and some of his brotherhood members were there waiting for them. John was the first outside of the car and began walking to his teammates passed Magneto giving him a nod, keeping the pretense he was still under his control. Quill walked up to the Pyromaniac,

"Where the hell have you been? What's up with the blood?" He asked.

"Mouth shut! Eyes Open." Pyro commanded, "All of you!" He added, as Magneto and Xavier came over to the house.

"Just like old time, eh?" Magneto said to Xavier.

"She needs help. Jean is not well." Professor X replied.

"Funny, you sound just like her parents." Magneto turned to Pyro, "Nobody gets inside." Pyro nodded and tapped Juggernaut on the arm,

"You're up front." Pyro said, Juggernaut nodded and put on his stone helmet. Pyro stood near the door, and Quill wouldn't stop hammering him with questions, Pyro clinched his fist, and all the sudden all the windows of the house blew outwards and screams from Dr. Grey can be heard. Pyro saw Logan unleash his claws and charge at the house and Storm rose from the ground using her powers to her advantage.

Pyro turned to Quill, "Some one should shut you up." And dropped kicked Quill in the chin, like Mystique taught him "Thanks Raven..." he muttered. Logan was thrown through the window by Juggernaut and Storm began to spin at Pyro and the others, "Make it look real, make it look real," Pyro mumbled. Storm spun right through them knocking them all off their feet to the ground and getting electrocuted in the process. Callisto and Storm took a brawl inside the house, Pyro shook himself out of his daze and followed them inside the house. Pyro entered the living room and was suddenly pressed against the wall as everything in the house began to levitate and disintegrate. Jean became what she was The Phoenix, and Pyro, Xavier, and Magneto were powerless to stop her. The professor was levitated out of his wheelchair, the entire house was lifted off of the ground. Pyro's expression was hit with horror as he saw his former mentor slowly disintegrating.

"No Jean! Jean!" Magneto screamed still being pinned down. Then everything began to slowed down In time,

"Don't let it control you." Xavier said. He turned to face Pyro, and tears began falling from the Pyromaniacs eyes as he took off his goggles The professor smiled at him

John held out his hand, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He screamed

"Charles!" Magneto shouted. The professor's body exploded into thousands of pieces and blew away live leaves in the wind. The house fell to the ground, it was all over. Magneto was shocked to see his former friend gone, he picked up Jean by the shoulders, "My dear, come with me." He said as they walked out of the house with his brotherhood soldiers. Pyro, John Allerdyce sat their tears running down his face and his arm still stretched out sobbing silently staring at where the professor was. Storm and Logan ran in, They fell to their knees all three sobbed in complete sorrow at the sight of professor's wheelchair, the only thing left of their mentor, their leader, their father.

"Goodbye" The soothing voice said in John's mind.
