Chapter 5 time, let's see if I can get anywhere and finally get this story to move along correctly. Thanks to anyone who read this chapter or ever will
Thanks to FireBlade5 and amanosferatu, and I know I need to work on my grammar, it never really was my strong point, but everyone has some weakness as a writer or at anything else, and I've only been writing for a year or so, no offense if it sounds like I'm taking offense, does that even really make sense, oh well, this is what I get for trying to write at 1:30 in the morning I guess

For two more days Magneto waited and yet Zeo never once awoke or even moved.
"What is with this kid, why hasn't he moved?" Magneto thought to himself while standing in a chair waiting, his good mood long gone.
A few more minutes passed and soon Magneto was fed up with sitting there so he began to get up and leave when he heard a moan from behind him.
He spun around as fast as he could and sat back down, just in time for Zeo to open his eyes.
"Huh, hey, it's the freak with a bucket on his head!" Zeo said when he saw Magneto who glared at him before calming down and saying.
"My name is Magneto, now then what exactly is yours?"
"Well then Magnet Hoe, the name's Zeo Takamaru" Zeo said while grinning at the glare he got from Magneto.
"Once again, I must say that my name is Magneto but I wish to now your true name, not Zeeko or whatever it is you said" Magneto said while trying to stay calm.
"Uh, what do you mean my real name?" Zeo asked him.
"Alright, forget it, let's try an X-Man preference. What is your battle name?" Magneto said while only half way under control.
"Oh, in that case, the name's Diablos" Zeo said grinning at Magneto, who continued to glare at him but tried to hide it.
"Alright then, now I am going to ask you if you would like to join my team" Magneto said calmly.
"Uh, what's your team do anyway, I mean, sure Xavier's place was nice but the dream he has in kind of insane, I mean seriously, if humans can't even get along with themselves in their own country, let alone the rest of the world then how are they gonna get along with mutants?" Zeo said.
"My thoughts exactly, now then, my team is trying to get rid of the humans and create a world solely for mutants, matter of fact, I have already successfully gathered a full city of mutants" Magneto said while half way bragging of what he had done.
" You did huh, well, let's see, here's my deal, if the city you made actually works then I'll join your team, if not I'm outta here" Zeo said.
"Magneto sighed then decided to agree to the terms, after all, if he could corrupt an X-man to his team than even if he was weak it would bring down the moral of the X-Men and he'd be able to have his team take them down.
Either way this deal would help him, he thought, too bad he never saw the third and fourth option that Zeo had.
As they arrived at the city Zeo found that everything looked peaceful.
"Alright the, I wanna see what this place is really like and if I'm with you then they won't act normal so mind if I take a quick run around the city?" Zeo asked Magneto who merely said yes and soon Zeo was no longer there.
"Hm, so he has super speed, I wonder if that's his only power or if there's anything else he has" Magneto thought to himself as he walked back to his base.
Zeo was walking around the town and so far still hadn't found any problems, that would have been nice to say, but no, instead he'd already found a couple of problems, public humiliation by use of mind control.
A few fights in the alleys with the people using their powers.
Mind control for a few other things that he'd rather not mention, the smell of decay every few streets.
All this and more coming, this city wasn't very good at all.
That was when he heard something from an alleyway ahead of him.
There were a few people guarding the alleyway so he couldn't look in from there.
He decided to jump to the roof above the alley and look down, what he saw in there made him pretty angry, there was a little boy knocked into the corner and was being used as a punching bag by one guy who, by the looks of it, was the boss and had super strength.
"Damn it, some great city, that's it forget it, I'm helping him" Zeo thought to himself before running down there so fast it seemed like he teleported.
He appeared in front of the leader and nailed him in the chin with an uppercut sending him flying up before he ran above the guy and slammed down into his back knocking the guy out.
By then the rest of the people in the alley saw this and ran at him, one attempted to turn him to stone with his powers but he dodged and kicked him in the stomach knocking him down, he then turned and kicked another, just in time to knock him down before he pulled the trigger on his machine gun/arm.
After doing that there was only one person left in the alley and Zeo couldn't help but think he looked familiar.
That was when he placed it, "YOU! I remember you ya bastard, you made my life a living hell back home, I couldn't walk into a store because you always blamed me for when you stole something, I lost over 500 dollars and more thanks to you!" Zeo said angrily with a look of pure hatred in his eye.
"Huh, who are you, what are you talkin about?" the final thug said.
"Heh, don't remember huh Vincent Wygle?" Zeo said while glaring at him.
"Uh, how do you know my name?" Vincent said as he looked at Zeo.
"Simple, try and remember this, Zeo" Zeo said.
"Wha... Oh, um" Vincent said before gulping and soon he was sent flying, slammed into the wall, sliced up by the claws, and knocked around the like a rag doll before finally being tied to the wall with a chain he had found on one of the knocked out thugs.
"Bastard messed with me and he made the mistake of letting him find me again" Zeo muttered to himself before hearing a whimper in the corner and remembering there was a kid there.
"Uh, whoops" he said before walking to where the kid was and sitting down next to him.
"Hey kid, you feelin okay?" he asked the kid but the kid just whimpered and tried to push further into the wall so as to get away but he couldn't get through.
"Hey, I won't hurt ya" Zeo said as he stared at the terrified look in the kids eyes.
"Your lying, your just gonna beat me up like they did" the boy said through tears.
"Nah, I'm against them, how about you tell me where your parents" Zeo began to say when the kid began to cry even harder.
"Are? Hey what's wrong" Zeo asked the young boy.
"The- they killed my pa- parents" the boy said through his tears.
As Zeo heard this he made his decision, he was gonna leave this place and go back to Xavier's, but first he'd get this kid out.
"Oh, well how about I get you somewhere safe then, after all you probably don't want to stay here" Zeo said.
The boy merely looked at him before nodding and so Zeo then picked him up and ran for it, as far away from the city as he could get.
After a few hours of running he found Xavier's but he couldn't help but wonder why he was barely even panting.
When he arrived there was a lot of commotion since he had been kidnaped and had come back.
Even more of a commotion was made when they saw him holding a kid in his arms.
"Hey like where did the kid like come from?" Kitty asked him.
Zeo then told them the story of what had happened.
"I see, well then I suppose we'll help the boy but we can't do a thing for the city, after all, I'm pretty sure that we haven't been trained to take down a city of mutants" Xavier said as Zeo gave the kid to him.
Xavier then rolled away to try and help the kid out as well as ask a few questions about where the city was.
"Okay then, now that I'm back I'm gonna ask a couple of questions" Zeo said as he looked at the others.
"Um, like Vat?" Kurt asked, "oh gee, I dunno, maybe about how I ended up at Magnet Hoe's" Zeo said while glaring at the others.
"Vell, um, you see, you vere in a coma and during zat time zere vere two attacks, ze first was stopped and ve thought ve stopped ze second vone but somevone got in and grabbed you and he vas really fast" Kurt said.
"Uh, right, English please the accents too confusing" Zeo said while sighing.
"Well like, you were in a coma and like someone attacked but we like won then like the Brotherhood attacked and like we won again but like Quicksilver slipped in and like ran off with you" Kitty said.
"Uh, right, I still don't get it but right" Zeo said as he walked off mumbling about annoying accents and saying like.
"Vat's his problem?" Kurt asked of Kitty.
"I like, don't know" She said before the two of them sighed and walked back inside since they had all met him in the yard.
A few minutes later and everyone else left as well.
Meanwhile at Magneto's base
"What do you mean he escaped?" Magneto said, trying to stay calm as he talked to one of the guards who had been watching the doors when Zeo ran.
"Uh, well you see, um, he ran away and we never had time to fire" the guard said in a somewhat scared manner.
"I guess I'll have to use more drastic measures of control, let's see, who does the boy still care for?" Magneto thought to himself as he headed for his version of Cerebro, which also had a computer attached that would tell the name of any person as well but also all the information on that person.
As Magneto arrived at the room and entered the name of the person as well, as the persons powers, he was surprised to find that no results came up.
"Hm, what is this? He must have given me a fake name.
Alright then, I'll do this a different way" he said to himself as he entered the database at Xavier's mansion and checked the files on the people there.
When he found Zeo's file he saw that the last name was Momataru.
. "Hm, similar yet different, alright then, let's try again" he said as he reentered his Cerebro and found the results on him.
"Hm, no real big results, I guess I'll try his schools" Magneto said as he checked the schools and still found barely anything.
"Hm, is there nothing on this person, by the looks of it all there is are stuff about what others thought of him. Well, I suppose it's better than nothing" he said as he looked at the files.
"Let's see, a bit of an anger problem, hates thieves and one in general because of some items he lost, loses control of his temper when it comes to his friends but controls himself. Only a few friends and from what I can tell from this file, a low level physic heard him think that he believed his friendship was falling apart. I have info but it doesn't show who or what he cares about. WAIT... The name of that thief, hm, this is interesting, he's in my town, I suppose I'll pay him a visit, perhaps he can tell me more." Magneto said to himself as he got up and left towards where the thief was last seen, the alley where he had been beaten up.
As Magneto arrived he saw that Vincent, the thief was still there and no one had let him down.
"Uh, can someone let me down now?" Vincent yelled out, not noticing Magneto.
"Alright, and then you shall tell me all you know of this Zeo Momataru" Magneto said to him from behind, which caused him to try and jump but fail.
Magneto then used his powers to bring Vincent down and began his questioning.
"First off, how exactly did you know him" Magneto asked.
"Uh, well I pretended to be his friend and the whole time I was getting his money, then when I moved I stole as much of his stuff as I could." the thief said.
"Alright then, but can you tell me anything else, such as who his friends are and what are his likings.
"Uh, his friends are this Haila girl as well as another kid named Drago, or at least that's what we called him.
I think he likes reading, writing and video games but it has been over 7 years" Vincent said.
"I see, well than, I need no more of you, unless of course your powers are useful, what are they exactly?" Magneto asked of the thief.
"Well my powers are manipulation" Vincent said but stopped as Magneto began to smile.
"In that case I'm going to offer a place on my team, I could use someone who masters in manipulation, unlike my other physics who are only good at brain washing.
"Uh, do I get paid?" Vincent asked foolishly.
"Oh yes you will, but you will also be able to get revenge on Zeo who humiliated you" Magneto said.
"Uh, ok" the thief said and thus Vincent Wygle AKA The Manipulator (stupid name for a stupid person) joined the Acolytes.
Meanwhile at Xavier's Mansion
A few days passed and thing soon began to calm down at the institute, they now had a new student that was only 8 and also heard about Magneto's offer, though Zeo never really mentioned more than that, as if not wanting to tell the others what his answer had been.
As for the new student, his name was Joe Smith, which was an incredibly normal name compared to the others, and his power was healing, but only in a limited amount since he was too young to use his powers correctly.
Xavier was having meetings with him to try and get him to adjust as well as learn the location of where Magneto's city was.
"So what level of the Danger Room am I on now wolfy boy?" Zeo asked when he got back and went through the exams to make sure nothing had happened to him.
"Ghh, shut it or I'll put you on a level twenty alone" Wolverine mumbled out, half way annoyed with the return of Zeo's taunts, and even more annoyed when he heard the plan that the others had made.
"If ya must now, you've been promoted to the X-men, all ya half ta do is finish these tests" Wolverine said with a smirk as he activated the room with only Zeo in it.
It started with a strength test in which Zeo got a 275, (not sure how it's graded, I'll say that's strong, around two tons, but not super strength as in Juggernaut, throwing cars like their nothing, though) which was stronger than anyone else since the team didn't have any super strong mutants.
After that test was a speed test, two tests to be exact, one tested the all out speed, the other tested the endurance.
On the actual speed test he got a 400, which was amazing since even Kurt's teleportation powers couldn't beat it, due to the fact he had to disappear and reappear and that took some time.
Next came the endurance test in which he got an incredibly high score, a 800, which was equivalent to 16 hours, driving Logan insane since he had to cancel danger room for everyone else.
"Final test'll be how hard your skin is" Wolverine said.
He started it off with level 4 saws which broke when touching so he brought it up to level 6, which also broke when hitting.
After that he brought it up to level 7 and those left a scratch but no real damage, finally the level 8 was able to cut through, which was considered a 700 in standards.
"Fine, you pass, now then, you'll have to have your own training session, tell Hank what ya want in it when your ready" Logan said while walking off.
"Okay, wolfy boy" Zeo said smiling a bit, though wobbling around at the same time, before limping off to his room for some sleep falling straight into it the second his head touched the pillows, but that was too be expected after a full day in the Danger Room with no rest.
He soon found himself inside of a dream, he was in a room of some kind and was strapped to some machine, there were some scientists getting ready to pull a switch when an attack came in the form of his own dark side, but it was only a shadow, as if it wasn't there.
Following behind him, were these gigantic red 'animals' of some sort, they killed the scientists and then began to run towards Zeo himself, but that was when his dark side entered his body and his eyes shot open with a darkness in them, after that the view changed and all he could hear were howls of pain and his own voice crying out insanely, that was when he awoke.
And there is the next big twist, a few actually, a new student, Zeo joining the X-men and a nightmare of something, now what does it all mean you ask... if I told you would you still be reading, so keep reading and find out, sorry for the delay but I had a million other things to do, write one story of my own that actually got graded, got forced into joining another website and a few other things 'cough' Kingdom Hearts 2 'cough' stopped me from having any time, I guess this story is more popular than my other one though, this one already has four reviews. Well, there's chapter 5, seeya
