Sorry this took longer than usual! Next update will take a while too because I'll be out of town for a few days. I'll start writing as soon as I get back! :)

Disclaimer: X-men aren't mine (Does anyone know if I have to do this for every chapter?)

The X-men pulled up to the mansion just as dawn was approaching. It had taken them all night to find their way back to the institute and everyone was exhausted. They all slowly got out of the car and walked towards the mansion.

Scott was the first one there and he opened the door quietly, poking his head inside. Looking around and finding no one, he opened the door the rest of the way and everyone else filed in silently.

"Look what we have here."

The X-men all jumped and turned around to find Wolverine stepping out from the shadows.

"Found 'em!" Wolverine called and the Professor and Storm came rushing out of one of the adjoining hallways.

"Where have you been?" Storm cried. "We just woke up a few minutes ago; Charles was about to use Cerebro to find you all!"

"Um . . ." Scott said. "We kind of-"

"You went after the demons?" Xavier said, having read his mind. Storm gasped and Logan growled in frustration. "I told all of you that there was nothing to be done, and you completely ignored me."

"We had to do something, Professor," Scott replied. "We couldn't just let them get away."

"You shouldn't have gone alone," The Professor scolded. "Things could've gone seriously wrong."

"Actually, it's a good thing we did go," Jean said. "When Azazel arrived, I was able to briefly read his mind and he's plotting something . . . something with Magneto." The rest of the teens looked curiously at Jean; she hadn't mentioned anything on the ride back. "Just read my mind, Professor, this could be important."

Xavier thought for a moment and then concentrated. "Jean, I'm going to dig deeply into your mind to see if I can obtain any information you may have picked up subconsciously." After a moment, the Professor snapped his eyes wide open, looking startled.

"What is it, Charles?" Logan snarled.

"We need to get to the Jet, now." Xavier said, much to everyone's surprise. "We're going to Australia."

OoOo

Kurt and Azazel teleported to Magneto's castle, where a jet was waiting. It had been decided to go by jet instead of teleporting because Azazel was going to need all of his strength to perform the spell.

"Why are we going to Australia again?" Kurt asked as they walked to the jet.

"That's where the portal was opened all those years again, so that's where it needs to be opened today." Azazel explained. "Seriously, Kurt, I've told you this about a hundred times now."

Azazel had spent a very long time the night before explaining the many steps to performing the spell to a very confused Kurt. Apparently, it was a very long process.

They reached the jet and hopped on. Inside, the Brotherhood were all arguing with one another, completely oblivious to their surroundings. Mystique was sitting a bit away from them, scowling out the window. Azazel sat in the pilot seat and Kurt went and sat in the very back, far away from everyone else.

He still wasn't sure he even wanted to do this. On one hand, the Neyaphem were pretty much his family, shouldn't he want them to come back to Earth? But on the other hand, Kurt didn't really like the idea of being responsible for the enslavement and possible extinction of the human race. Kurt sat there for a while, thinking very intently.

"Hey, blue guy," Someone said quickly, waving a hand in front of Kurt's face. "Anyone home?"

Kurt blinked, snapping out of his thoughts. He looked up to find a skinny guy with white hair smirking at him. "What?"

"My name's Pietro. And you are . . ?"

"Kurt," Kurt mumbled.

"Well, Kurt, my dad explained everything to me and I think it's really great what you're doing for the mutant race," Pietro smiled slyly. "Those humans deserve to be wiped from this planet."

Kurt hesitantly smiled, not sure how to respond.

"Let me introduce you to everyone," Pietro went on. "Guys, get over here and say hi to Kurt."

The rest of the Brotherhood stopped what they were doing and walked over to Kurt and Pietro.

"This is Blob, Toad, and Lance." Pietro said to Kurt. "They have powers like us of course."

"And what are your powers?" Kurt asked.

Pietro got up and started to run around the jet, becoming a blur. Lance grinned and stomped his foot, concentrating, and the whole jet shook. Blob picked up Toad and threw him towards the front of the Jet, but Toad stuck his tongue out like a frog and grabbed onto one of the seats mid-throw.

Azazel and Mystique ignored the commotion, lost in their thoughts.

"What is going on in here?" Magneto suddenly stepped inside and everyone stopped what they were doing and quickly sat down. With an annoyed look at the teens, Magneto sat down in the passenger seat next to Azazel.

"Are we ready to go?" He asked Azazel, who nodded. "Then start her up."

OoOo

The X-men were already on the X-jet and in the air. They'd been flying for quite a while and the Professor hadn't said much about what was going on. Only that the demons were going to attempt something catastrophic and that he would explain more once they were closer to Australia. Everyone had already taken advantage of the down time and gotten some sleep.

"Why didn't you tell us you had read the demon's mind?" Scott asked, sitting next to Jean.

"All that I read was that he needed to speak with Magneto about something," Jean said, looking a bit confused. "I didn't want to worry all of you and I really didn't think it would be this big of a deal."

"The Professor must have picked up a lot more then." Scott mumbled thoughtfully.

"Hey!" Wolverine called from the front of the jet, turning around to face all of them. "Don't think you're getting away with sneaking out. Just because we're doing this doesn't mean you won't get a punishment!"

The teens of the X-men groaned, shooting dirty looks at Scott, who gave a sorry smile.

"Hey, I'm getting something on the radar," Storm called from the pilot seat. "It looks like another jet."

OoOo

"Look, there they are now," Magneto smirked, pointing up ahead. Flying in the distance appeared to be another jet. "Azazel, it won't use up too much of your energy to teleport us a bit closer to our friends, would it?"

"No, it wouldn't." Azazel replied. He put the Jet on autopilot and placed both of his hands on the wall, concentrating. After a few seconds, they disappeared, reappearing with the X-jet to their right.

"Oh, wonderful," Magneto chuckled. He raised his arm, concentrating. The X-jet started to veer towards the right, away from them.

Kurt was torn. He knew the X-men were probably trying to stop the demons from crossing over, which is what Kurt wanted, but he couldn't go against his Father or even Magneto. Besides, what would he be able to do to stop them? So Kurt sat there, watching nervously out the window, hoping the X-men would fight back or do something.

Suddenly, the top of the X-Jet opened and a woman with white hair appeared, holding her arms above her head. The sky rapidly filled with grey clouds, raining and thundering. Kurt looked at it with a mixture of hope and fear.

Magneto raised his arm once more, concentrating even harder, and the X-Jet was sent spinning around.

"Ha!" Pietro exclaimed, cheering along with the rest of the Brotherhood. "Now send 'em to the ground!"

The Brotherhood stopped cheering as a bolt of lightning struck the jet, sending them down to the ground instead.
