X-Men Story My Version

Chapter Fourteen: UN Summit

Leaders of different countries gather to discuss the mutant registration act. There's a podium where they're expecting someone to speak. They have no idea the danger they're in.

The seven X-men make their way towards the front entrance of the Statue Of Liberty. Cyclops looks up.

"The torch?" Cyclops asked Mystro.

"Yes. That's where she is." Mystro said as they entered the gift shop.

The X-Men walk quietly through. TV: ...festive garden-party atmosphere as they traversed the tight security...Logan sets off the metal detectors. He puts his claws through them, silencing them. To Cyclops' dirty look, he extends one claw, giving Cyclops the finger. Mystro, Storm, Havok and Frost laugh. Jean shook her head smirking. Cyclops grins angrily.

Behind them, a scale-model Statue of Liberty opens its yellow eyes.

Logan sniffs. He isn't the only one. Mystro sniffed the air as well. Both gave each other a look. Storm caught it.

"What is it Logan?" Storm asked.

"Someone's here." Logan told her.

"I smell it too." Mystro said.

"Where?" Cyclops asked.

"I don't know. Keep your eye open." Logan said.

"I do." Mystro said turning back towards the big statue that was there. It's disappeared. Mystro frowned hard. "The sent is the same as it was back at the mansion." He said. No paid attention to him moving about in gift shop.

Logan goes off on his own.

"Logan...!" Cyclops called to him. "Dammit." He cursed. Logan comes back. "Anything?"

"I know there's someone here. I just can't see him." Logan said. Mystro frowns hard.

"That's not Logan." Mystro said aloud. As Logan passes Cyclops, he extends his claws. Another "Logan" tackles him. The two tussle briefly, moving into a side room. Cyclops aims his visor, not sure which to blast. The team readies themselves for a fight.

"Wait!" Both Logans said in unison. The false Logan slashes a panel and a door closes them off.

"Shit!" Havok curses then going over him. He and Mystro try to open the door. Cyclops steps back a couple of paces, ready to blast it open.

"All right, back up..." Cyclops said

Out of nowhere leaps the Toad. He knocks Cyclops into a glass display case, stunning him. This keeps them from disturbing the battle between Logan and Mystique. Then he sticks his tongue to another door, walling Cyclops off from the group.

"Go help Wolverine." Mystro tells Havok who nods and goes to find another way past the wall.

He sticks his tongue to the ceiling and kicks both Jean and Storm. Then he sticks his tongue to Storm's leg. Storm tries to summon wind, but she can't get up enough to stop Toad from hurling her onto the second-floor catwalk. Frost uses her telepathy to hurt Toad who seems stunned and backs up. Jean sees Mystro coming at Toad with a flying kick. Using her telekinesis she sends Toad up in the air colliding with Mystro's foot. Toad is stunned but shakes it off. He spins around and manages to kick Mystro back. Mystro collides with a table. He's stunned. Toad turns to face Jean and Frost who have recovered. He does a little dance, and then leaps at her. He hangs in midair. Jean is keeping him there with her mind. Frost sends several small statues of liberty figurines at Toad's head. He groans before spitting out to wads of goo at their faces. It hardens instantly and she releases him. Both are stunned.

Storm peers over the catwalk, still looking woozy. Mystro sees this. Toad leaps up to the walk. Storm puts out a hand to stop him. Mystro leaps up over the railing and lands in front of Storm protecting her. Toad steps back and smirks.

"You wanna fight huh?" Toad asks.

"No one messes with my sister." Mystro said. Storm all but rolled her eyes but in the back of her mind was glad her brother was there. She could hold her own but his martial arts skills were immaculate.

"Let's see what you've got." Toad said to him getting into a fight stance. Mystro mirrored his stand with one of his own. Storm watched from behind. Toad started the fight off by throwing a few kicks. Mystro blocked them and mirrored his kicks with several of his own. Toad blocked a few but one of them landed sending him flying back onto several tables. Toad was back on his feet in a matter of seconds and went on the attack. He landed several kicks to Mystro who tried to block them but was taken down. Toad then lands a couple of powerful kicks later to Storm sending her falling down the elevator shaft. Mystro sees this and is angered.

"NNNOOOOO!" Mystro said. Anger written on his face.

Toad makes a silly little "pbbbbb" "too bad" sound, grabs a crowbar, and twirls it.

Cyclops blasts open the wall. The first thing he sees is Jean and Frost struggling with the goo and still can't breathe.

"Jean! Frost!" Cyclops said to them. "Hold on." He said Cyclops adjusts his visor, and blasts the goo off her face. Then does the same for Frost. "You girls ok?"

"Yes." Jean said to him coughing catching her breathe.

"Thanks." Frost said doing the same.

Thinking his sister is done for, Mystro is angered. His eyes begin to go white. Electricity begins to move within his eyes and through is body and extract from his hands. Toad sees this and smirks. Mystro gets to his feet.

"MOTHERFUCKER!" Mystro yells before shooting electricity volts at him. Toad moves away from the volts very scared. His eyes go wide in shock. They both stop in dead in their tracks hearing the crackling of thunder and lightning. Mystro smirks knowing that it's his sister who's doing that. One of the traits they both share is that they can control and manipulate Electricity. Hers stems from lightning while his pure electrical energy. Both make for a deadly combination. Toad looks back at the elevator shaft where he dropped Storm. It's sparking with lighting and howling with wind. It opens, and Storm flies through it. She's focused her power at last. "Your ass is grass now!" Mystro says smirking. The electricity still moving through him. His electrical powers helps him to avoid the wind Storm is blowing their way. His stance is firm, feet unmoving.

"Don't you people ever die?" Toad asks. Toad tries to walk forward to attack her again, but he's blasted back by a wind that seems to double in strength with every few seconds. It blows him right out of the shop, and only his tongue keeps him hanging on to the railing over the water.

Storm's eyes narrow in amusement. She isn't the only one who's amused. Mystro is practically laughing his ass off.

"Do you know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning?" Storm asked Toad.

A thunderhead booms.

"Should we show him sis?" He asked. Storm smirks moving towards him. She nods. Mystro sends a voltage at Toad's back. Toad cries out as his body shakes a little from the voltage. Using the voltage, Mystro sends him through the glass doors outside. The blast sends him in the air. Mystro holds him there. Toad's body trembles in midair. He uses his tongue to stead himself.

"The same thing that happens to everything else." Storm told him. Lightning strikes Toad shocking him. Both Mystro and Storm release him. He falls into the lake.

"Asshole!" Mystro said as he and Storm turned and headed back into the gift shop which is now torn to shreds. Both high five each other. The one moment they worked together as a team.
