Chapter 16: Introduction of Ororo and the Short Beat-Down of Jean and Scott

Danger Room, Xavier Institute, Bayville, NY- May 17, 11:40 PM

Anyway, as the three mutant teams in the mansion- X-Men, X-Factor, and X-Sword ganged up on Jean and Scott, one of the strongest of the 2nd X-Men team was floating in the air next to Rogue. From one look an observer could feel the strength radiating off her, the air appearing to bend at every movement she made. This extraordinary woman was named Ororo Munroe and she looked ready to charge at Jean and send her flying.

Ororo's uniform is black with an ankle-length black and silver cape trailing behind her, wrist-height white gloves, and a black and red belt with a black "X" in the middle of it. Her knee-high boots are white with a few flecks of black on them. She also has black "X's" on both shoulders, surrounded by white, with a dark blue stripe running from shoulder to shoulder, under her cape.

"Lightning, I command you, follow my lead!" yelled Ororo as she commanded the lightning to follow her flight path. Out of nowhere a fierce-looking bolt of yellow and white lightning appeared around Ororo's upraised hands, and after she had gathered what she deemed the right dosage she dove at Scott and Jean. It looked like Ororo was going to ram into the couple but at the last moment pulled up, avoiding a blast from Scott and letting the lightning hit the two adults, causing them to scream in pain and a small, if not invisible smirk appeared on her dark coffee-colored skin, her sky-blue eyes twinkling in amusement.

"Professor, Jean and Scott are definitely losing this battle!" Forge commented from his observation position in the computer lab above the Danger Room itself. Here Forge and Xavier were watching the training session.

Forge was so absorbed in watching the action below him that he didn't notice Xavier start and leave the room until a few moments later when he saw Xavier enter the Danger Room. He watched as Xavier stopped the three teams from beating Scott and Jean up anymore and reprimanded Lexie, Rogue, Erica, and Tabitha for protesting. He ordered everyone to power down, commanding Amara, Rahne, Bobby, Roberto, Ross, and Rex to power down at once, and Aaron to heal the two leaders of the X-Men. While Aaron was doing so Xavier wheeled himself up to the front of the three groups and stared at the wall.

Forge was curious, as was everyone else, and was startled to hear a whirring sound approaching. Forge saw the veteran X-Men tense up, along with the X-Factor team members, while the X-Sword team just looked around in confusion. He then heard a crashing sound and looked over to the southern wall and was shocked to see it suddenly come bursting in, revealing Magneto, a dark blue raven, and about 8 metal pods enter the Danger Room and land. Forge watched in open-mouthed amazement as the pods opened to reveal the Brotherhood and Acolyte teams and the raven transformed into Mystique.

"Magnus," said Xavier as he rolled closer to Erik, and stared at him with a searching expression, his hands folded on his lap, "What are you doing here?" Xavier tried to read Erik's mind, but Erik shook his head and tapped his helmet.

"Charles, have you not figured it out yet that it is impossible to read my mind when I have my helmet on?" asked Erik, grim humor present in his voice.

"To answer your question, my dear friend," continued Erik as he stared into Xavier's eyes, "I am here to convince and prove to you that Homo superior is the strongest race on this planet, and deserve to rule! I have finally come up with a plan to make you see the light, Charles. Now, attack!" yelled Magneto as he flung his arm forward, directing his troops into battle.
