Author's voice: Ok enough of emotional sob stories and time for action! Based on X men Evolution episodes "Day of Reckoning part 1 and 2"... This chapter took a long time to write so it would mean the world to me if readers left some comments...Ok Enjoy!
Months past, weird things have happened like Jean losing control of her powers and now both she and Greer have extra sessions with the professor on self control. Lance joining the X men for a week was weird enough but recently things have been getting weirder. For instance the team had recently fought Pietro's crazy sister, Wanda and lost, Logan had gone missing without a trace, Ororo and Mr. McCoy were sent to look for him. The professor started intensifying both the X men's and new mutants training sessions like he was preparing them for war. "This is crazy..." Greer thought as she leaped off one of the machines after pulling out its plugs. Bad move, it started going haywire and it knocked Amara off a ledge. Snarling in frustration Greer leaped again dodged through the canons and caught Amara. Causing them both to tumble safely onto the ground. "Guys! I can use a little help here! Aghh!" Kurt just got splattered with orange paint. He was out. "Kurt!" Greer yelled. she cursed herself for being a ninny. She should have grabbed him too. "Never mind him! Amara! What about the objective?" Scott instructed. "About 36 kilometers!" Amara said shakily trying to stand up. "That's 22 miles!" "Meters! I meant meters! Ugh I hate the metric system..." Amara announced slapping her forehead. Greer's sharp eyes and ears picked up the sound of machines. Quickly she grabbed Amara and Jean closer towards her and Scott. Just in time as orange paint splattered at their feet. Scott shot an optic blast destroying the machine in the process. "YOU'RE STALLING CYCLOPS! Magneto won't be standing around waiting for you to decide on tactics. Make a move or relinquish command to Jean!" The professor's voice boomed through the speaker causing Greer's sensitive ears to ring. "Ok we're gonna rush em'" Scott announced. The team nodded and ran off to take their respective positions. Greer bounded next to Evan watching his back, they would take down "Magneto" from behind while Jean distracted him from the front. Kitty, Amara and Scott would take him from the sides. As they got ready to attack him, Evan accidently knocked "Magneto's" head off with some loose rocks... The smell of magnesium clued Greer what was going to happen next. Grabbing Evan they ducked behind the rocks just before "Magneto" exploded. Sending them both tumbling. Before they could recover, a machine splattered them both in orange paint. "I want to see you all in the planning room NOW!" the professor boomed again.
The meeting wasn't a good one. The professor was mad... "You rushed him? Like you were going to take him by surprise?!" the professor shouted. "Professor! I..." "Magneto was always two steps ahead Scott! You'll never take him by surprise! Ever!" Greer winced, "poor Scott" she thought, as the field leader he always suffered the most. "Excuse me Professor but what is going on?! You've never driven us this hard!" Scott snapped back. There were mummers of agreement. "I had to see... I had to confirm my fears..." "His fears? What is he talking about?" Greer wondered. "It seems like none of you are ready to face Magneto!" the professor announced. Scott was definitely taken aback, "I disagree!" he argued defiantly. "Do you?! You couldn't even take care about the brotherhood!" Greer felt angry but she knew the professor was right. Their last fight with the Brotherhood was downright humiliating... Turning away the professor continued, "You newer students... Your inexperience would jeopardize the mission! I simply can't risk using you... As for the rest, I see that I need to bolster your ranks!" Greer looked up... "That scent...Oh no please no" she thought desperately. "Therefore I want you to welcome your new teammates..." the professor gestured to the Brotherhood. Greer hissed her fur standing at their ends as the brotherhood entered the planning room. Her team's planning room... There was a lot of opposition coming from the X men and strangely none from the Brotherhood. But the professor was persuasive. In the end, it was decided, The Brotherhood was joining the X men. Scott was so mad he ended quitting the team. Strangely the professor didn't stop him. In fact, he stopped Greer and Jean from talking him out of it. It was just too weird. Two hours later, Greer received instructions from Jean to gather the X men and the Brotherhood. It was time too face Magneto...
Both of the X jets landed in an abandoned part of the city. She was with Team 1 with Wanda and Lance. Awkwardly they did their respective jobs. Greer sniffed around. There was something off about the place. Suddenly she heard a "boom!" and Wanda yelling, "It's a trap!" Greer stopped in her tracks as metal canisters started hovering off the ground. A nearby water tank started unpiecing itself and in it stood Sabertooth, Colossus, Gambit and Pryro. Greer yowled in fear as she dodged the exploding cards Gambit tossed at her, while the rest of Magneto's goons ran off. She tried taking Gambit down from the sides but Pryro's flames kept her at bay. Greer felt helpless, she didn't scare easy but being part animal, she was deadly afraid of fire. "Tigra! Go help Toad he's on the other side! Rouge and I will take it from here!" Jean yelled. Greer growled, helping frog boy didn't sound appealing but... "To hell with it!" she snarled as she bounded off. Leaping over wall. She sniffed, how could she not find that smelly..."WHAM!" Groaning, she glared at the slimy boy who lay on top of her. "Thanks for the catch!" Toad said sheepishly. Tossing him away she managed to jump away just in time to avoid one of Colossus's deadly punches. Growling, she leapt at him with her claws outstretched. They tangled for a while, she was too fast for him too catch but his armor was too strong for her to do any serious damage. Toad tried to help by body slamming himself into Colossus but that only got him thrown again and this time against a wall. "Toad!" Greer cried momentarily losing concentration, Colossus took that opportunity to grab her tail. "Let me go, you lousy piece of..." "A strong one eh? LET'S COMPARE!" Greer panicked "Blob! Nooonoonoowaitwaitwaitait.. Ahhh!" she screamed as she was tossed forcefully aside. Landing gracefully on all fours she looked up just in time to see Lance finish the job. "You ok?" Kitty asked grinning. "Yeah, you? Greer replied smiling "There it's Magneto!" Storm cried. Everyone looked up and started running towards the building he was on. Without warning, the ground began shaking violently. "Avalanche!" Greer hissed as she was forced on all fours to stay balanced. "Hey I swear it's not me!" he yelled back as he fell over Toad .The ground beneath them suddenly gave way and Greer felt herself falling into the darkness...
