Storm informs the X-Men immediatley.

Storm: I have just got word from the Avengers, the new Masters of Evil are attacking Shield Head Quarter They are after the boy.

Havok: Is Scott with them?

Storm: I believe so.

Wolverine: Then lets not waste anymore time, we need to get over there and stop them from taking the kid and maybe we will find out Hopes whereabouts while we are there!

Havok: Okay, lets go!

The X-Men, (Storm, Wolverine, Rouge, Havok, Colossus) make their way to Shield HQ to assist the Avengers in the fight against the Masters of Evil.

THE X-MEN ARRIVE!

Dr Doom: And now we leave!

Wolverine: I dont think so bub!

Storm: Wheres Hope?

Dr Doom: (In anger) She is of no concern to you anymore.

Cyclops and Doom unleash a double blast which knocks the X-Men to the floor.

Dr Doom: We need to return the Mutant to our base! Thinker and Hydra, you will come with me! The rest of you, fight off these petty heroes!

Cyclops; No problem.

The three out of the hole and head off. Iron-Man get's back up and flies out to follow the three.

Dr Doom: Make sure no one follows!

Doc Ock: You can sure of that.

Madame Hydra points a gun out and aims it at Iron-Man, pulling the trigger as the bullet which converted into an energy beam knocks Iron-Man off balance and out of the sky, landing in the water.

Dr Doom: Lets Hurry back!

Storm; So, are you going to tell us where Hope is?

Living Laser: No!

Captain America: I guess we will have to do things the hard way.

Wolverine: And I hope ya wanna be taken!

Colossus throws Wolverine at Magneto, (FAST BALL SPECIAL) but Magneto quickly uses his powers and throws Wolverine in the wrong direction.

Havok blasts his brother Cyclops, but he misses and Cyclops counters by shooting Havok in the head, which knocks Havok clean out.

Rouge; How could ya do that, least of all to ya own brother!

Cyclops; All of you are nothing to me now, you left me and you will now know how it feels to know true pain.

Wolverine, surprises Cyclops by jumping on his back and then throwing him to the floor.

Wolverine: SHUT UP! Scott you dont even know the meaning of the word pain but you will when Im through with ya!

Storm; Wolverine dont!

Emma Frost arrives.

Emma Frost: Shes right Logan, we need to focus of locating Hope.

Wolverine: And where the hell where you 20 minutes ago Frost!

Rouge; Hey guys, while all of yall where chitter chattering, all the bad guys have got away!

Hawkeye: If you X-Men spent more time dropping the villains and less time talking, the Masters of Evil wouldnt have gotten away!

Wolverine: Say one more word and Ill drop you in a minute bub!

Hawkeye: Come on then, lets see what youve got tough guy!

Captain America; STOP! Enough of this. Today was a disaster but the last thing we need to do is to start blaming each other. Lets go back home and try to figure out what to do need to find out a way to track the Masters of Evil and then we can get Hope and Aloc back.

Colossus: What did they want with them?

Captain America: I dont know but whatever it is, we need to locate them fast. Who knows what they are planning.

Iron Man: Lets face it, we got beat.

Wolverine; No we didnt, this is far from over.

Emma Frost: The only way to find them is with telepathy but for some reason my physic powers arnt working. We have no hope witout them.

Phil Coulson: Thats not the only way, it will take time but I will be able to find them.

Wolverine; Well until then, Im gonna do some tracking of my own. I can find em faster than all of you!
