Brian finally made it to Bayville High, then had a brief encounter with Jean Gray and a foot ball player named Duncan. They instantly started to dislike each otherand almost got into a fight, but before Duncan could cause any harm, Jean stepped then told Brian she would give him the transfer papers after the game was over. After that, he decided to watch the rest of the game, but saw three football players heading to towards the back of the stands for so reason. Brian decided to follow them to see what was going on.


In the stands was a teenage boy who had brown hair and was wearing a blue sweater vest, pale colored pants, and red sun glasses. He was sitting while playing with a coin in his fingers, until it fell out of his fingers and between the stands. ''Aw man, my cash!'' the boy said, a bit irritated, until he noticed a hand coming from between the stands, taking a wallet from somebody.

''Hey check it out, it looks like someone is taking up a collection,'' he pointed out to a teenage boy who was sitting next to him who had blond hair and gray eyes.

''Wow, should we call the cops?'' The blond-haired teen asked.

The teen with the sunglasses stood up and began to walk down the bleachers. ''Hold that option open.''

-Behind the stands-

The same teenage boy who stole Brian's that other mans wallet was in the back of the stands stealing another wallet. ''Got another one. He-he, ha,'' Todd laughed softly, holding the stolen brown wallet in his left hand.

He was then pulled down from the stands by somebody. He fell on the muddy ground. ''Wow.''

Three jocks, one of them happening to be Duncan, were staring down at him. ''If it ain't Toady Tolansky, picking up a little spare change,'' Duncan exclaimed, walking closer to him.

''Um h-hi Duncan. Look, I can explain,'' Todd said, sounding a little nervous and trying to back up away from them.

Duncan then grabbed him, lifted him into the air, and smashed him into the end of the stands. ''Shut up, frog face.''

-Behind a green bush that wasn't very far away from back of the stands-

Brian popped his head from out of the bushes to see everything that was happening to the unfortunate teen that was stealing money. ''Wow, it doesn't look like that little thief is going to get out this mess,'' Brian said to himself, looking at what was happening. ''But even so, I just can't let this guy get beat up by those three neanderthals,'' he exclaimed, thinking of what to do.

"If I use my powers on those three neanderthals, I would have no problem taking them down,"Brian thought to himself, closing his eyes as his body surrounded itself with cold white aura. "But on the other hand, if use them, then all four of those boys would know I'm a mutant. I don't want anyone to figure that little secret out,"he seconded guessed himself, the aura around his body suddenly going away.

Brian opened his eyes. "But I won't stand a chance against those three neanderthals if I don't use them. Hmmm what to do, what to do?"

''Well, I guess I should see how this plays out first, then try to help him,'' he said to himself as he continued to look at the four boys. ''Who knows,someone else might help him out - huh?'' he was saying until he noticed someone walking towards the back of the stands. ''Now who could that be, I wonder?''

-Back behind the stands-

''Let's crush him Dunk,'' the black-skinned foot ball player suggested, hitting the palm of his hand with his fist.

''Let's not Dunk,'' A voice from behind said firmly. The four players turned around to see the teen with sunglasses behind them. ''Just chill, the wallets are still there. How about we have him give back the cash, no harm done.''

Todd was nodding his head in agreement as he reached for his pocket. ''Yeah, yeah see? Here's the money,'' he exclaimed as he got all the money he stole.

Duncan looked at the boy that he had a grip on, then looked back at the teen. ''What'd you care about this scuzzo, Summers?

''Not much,'' Summers replied, crossing his arms, "but I'm not crazy about three against one, either. So, how about we settle this peacefully?''

''I think me and my buds are going to squash this slime ball, so you and your stupid sunglasses at night can just bail,'' Duncan responded, throwing a squealing Todd to the ground.

''Uh,'' Todd said as he hit the muddy ground.

"I remember now,that's Scott Summers I remember the Professor telling me about him. He's also part of that institution for mutants, I also remember him having a very powerful mutant ability. Now what was it?" Brian thought to himself as he started to climb out of the bushes. He decided he should step in and aid Summers, but then stopped in his tracks. Scott was starting pull down his sunglasses, and a bright-red glow was emanating from his eyes. No one but Brian seemed to notice.

''Oooh I remember what his power is now.'' Brian exclaimed with his voice getting softer while trying to get back into the bushes. "I think it would be best for me stay behind this bush where its safe" he thought to himself.

Duncan walked towards Todd and stomped his foot on the ground close to his face. He then lifted it towards him. Todd looked up at him, obviously scared. ''I said, knock it off,'' Scott exclaimed as he grabbed Duncan from behind.

''Hey,'' Duncan responded angrily as Scott then threw him towards the other two football players.

''Hey!'' they both said as the fell to the ground. Todd got up off the ground and jumped away like a frog.

Brian was looking directly at the Todd. ''A student here, jumping like a frog? How weird!''

''He's getting away!'' The black-skinned football player exclaimed, getting up off the ground and starting to chase Todd, along with the white-skinned football player. Duncan accidentally fell face first on the ground.

He then turned around towards Summers, looking very angry. ''Big mistake, Summers!'' Duncan said angrily, getting up and running towards the teen, who held up his fists, ready to fight.

"Solving problems with fists. How predictable."Brian was thinking with a blank expression as both Summers and Duncan threw a few punches at each other. Summers had the upper hand, as he grabbed Duncan's neck, while Brian was walking from out of the bush until he noticed Jean walking towards the back of the stands

Jean noticed Summers and Duncan fighting each other. ''Scott? No!'' she exclaimed, wide-eyed. Scott looked in her direction, giving Duncan an opening to punch Scott in his face.

''Scott!'' she yelled in shock as the punch threw him against the side of the stands. His red sunglasses fell off causing optical blast beams to shot out from both of his eyes causing Duncan to get sent flying backwards and the two blast hit a Propane Tank next to the closed Snack Bar causing a huge explosion.

''Ahhhhh!'' All the cheerleaders, football players, and spectators yelled as they ran away from the explosion while Jean had a horrified look.


Moments later, an ambulance showed up on the field to take care of those injured from the explosion, and a fire truck came to put out the flames. A few police officers were also investigating what exactly happened.

-Underneath the Stands with some of the wood was on fire-

Jean was walking towards a chunk of wood that was burning. ''It's too hot to touch...at least least with my hands,'' Jean said. The piece of wood on top of Scott's red sunglasses was suddenly lifted off of the ground that. The sunglasses then floated into Jean's left hand.

Brian then ran out of the bush and towards Jean. ''Th-that was AWESOME!'' he yelled out with excitement, avoiding the burning wood.

''Huh, Brian where did you come from?'' Jean asked in confusion to what he was doing back here. ''Well whatever you're doing back here, cam please calm down before you cause unnecessary attention OK?.'' She asked him while walking over towards Scott .

''You OK?'' Jean asked him, placing her hand on Scott's for a moment while she got the sunglasses back over his eyes.

''Jean?'' Scott exclaimed, as he recognized her. ''Oh wow I-''

''Shh I know,'' Jean replied, cutting him off. She looked through the stands to see two police officers helping an injured foot ball player. ''Look, you'd better-''

''Aw how adorable,'' Brain exclaimed popping up between Jean and Scott, surprising them both. ''Are you two in a relationship or something, he-he!''

''Huh? N-no, nothing like that we're just-'' Scott started to stutter, until he realized there was another person besides Jean with him. ''Wait, are you that other new recruit that suppose to be joining the institution tonight?''

Brian turned towards Scott with a small grin, ''Yes, I am. And I can't wait to see how joining a team is going to work for me.'' He said with a small grin.

''Scott as I was saying I think you should leave now.'' Jean suggested again while Scott wanting to talk back, but decided not to.

''OK, I'll see you back at the X -Mansion.'' Scott responded as he walked away from them with a small grin.

''Hahahaha'' Brian laughed a hardly with his stomach on his mouth, because he couldn't help but find it funny on how he knew Scott has a crush on Jean while she's already dating this Duncan guy. ''huh?'' He exclaimed as he saw a few wallets on the ground.

Jean then looked down at the little boy, who was standing right next to her. "I've got to get this kid to the X - Mansion so he'll settle down." she thought to herself. ''Um, Brian I've got something I would like you to-'' She started until she noticed he was on the ground.

''Um, what are you doing?'' Jean asked in confusion, as he was he was on the muddy ground.

Brian then looked up towards her and got back up with a handful of money and wallets. ''I'm looking for something for you information" he said, showing Jean the money he found.

''That doesn't belong to you, so you can't take it, you do know that right?'' she asked calmly, with a blank expression. ''So I suggest you put that back where it came from.''

Brian's expression turned to irritation. ''I already know I can't keep it, this money was already stolen by that Frog or Toad person anyway, and now that I mention it, it was pretty much all his fault that this happened in the first place,'' Brian responded while looking through multiple wallets in his hands until he found a black wallet that looked familiar

''Here it is...I think.'' Brian said to himself as He opened the wallet to find that there was a 20-dollar bill in it with the name "Brian Steel" written in black ink. ''I knew it this is mine; I knew I smelt something strange when I was walking on that field. He must swiped my wallet when I wasn't looking, then hopped away while I was turning around. Why that little, scrawny, frog faced thief! I can't believe I was actually thinking about helping him!" Brian yelled out loudly.

Jean was standing there, listening to him go on and on with a blank look."This is going to be a long night," she thought.

Brian was still complaining about how that Todd person stole his wallet without stop or pause. ''How dare that little thief steal my wallet from right under my nose,'' He said a bit loudly. His body was starting to surround itself with white aura, and he was fidgeting a lot.

''Brian, Brian, Brian,'' Jean repeated, kneeling down towards him and trying to put a calming hand on his shoulder. ''Control yourself and stop making such a fuss, OK?'' She flinched a bit as she quickly removed her hand. ''And try and power down. It's going to look suspicious if someone finds a sheet of ice on the ground back here when it's not even winter,'' Jean pointed out, shaking her slightly numbed hand a bit.

Brian looked down to see a small sheet of ice under his feet. ''OK fine,'' he replied with a frown as the aura around his body started to fade away. He put his wallet back into this pocket. ''What am I supposed to do now?'' he asked Jean with a small yawn.

Jean turned her back on Brian for a while to look through the stands to see the that the officer was still there, then turned around back towards Brian. ''Well I think it would be best for you to go to the X - Mansion with Scott,'' she replied back.

''Go go back to the X – Mansion? But I wanted to see more of this place," Brian thought to himself, rubbing the back of his head with a bit of a blank look, until he looked at the officer on the field. "But on the other hand, it would probably be best for me to leave here, because I'm pretty sure it's almost my bed time, and I'd liked to see where I'd be living henceforth.''

Brian yawned again, but this time a lot louder. ''OK fine; I'll go back to this X - Mansion if that's what you want,'' he replied with a straight face. He started to walk away from Jean without another word.

''OK, I'll catch up with you in a little while,'' Jean responded with a worried look. She started to walk towards the opposite end of the stands.


Duncan was sitting on the side of the field while the police officers interrogated him. They wanted to know what exactly happened to cause this explosion.

Duncan had his head hanging down with his eyes closed. His helmet was now cracked. ''Uuh,'' he let out softly, in pain.

A medic wearing a blue suit took Duncan's helmet that off his head. ''Take it easy son, try not to move.'' he suggested while holding Duncan up.

''What happened here?'' A police officer with a brown mustache asked, looking down at Duncan.

The man in the blue suit walked in front of Duncan, flashing a miniature flash light in his right eye. ''Um, my head, can't remember,'' Duncan replied back, still in a bit of pain.

''Concision, he's been hit hard,'' The medic explained as the police officer looked back at the fire curiously. ''Hmm, looks to me like-'' The police officer started.

On a nearby street, a bald man in a brown suit was in a golden car. His brown eyes squinted as physic waves came from his head.

The policeman's pupils shrank as the physic waves entered his brain. ''Yeah, of course, must have been a leak in the propane tank,'' he stuttered while the medic laid Duncan on the stretcher and covered half of his body with a white blanket.

''Duncan are you alright?'' Jean asked as she walked over towards him, obviously worried.

He looked up at her with a grin. ''Yeah, you know me, skull like concrete," Duncan replied, pretending to tap the side of his head, until it started to hurt again. ''Ow.''

''Oh, my poor baby,'' Jean replied back, still worried. The medic started to pull the stretcher to the back of the ambulance.


On the other side of the field, Scott looked directly at Jean while leaning on the side of the bleachers, one hand on his hip. He suddenly looked a bit agitated when Todd walked up beside him. ''Um, thanks really you know,'' Todd said, looking up at him.

''Yeah,'' Scott replied while walking away from him.

A voice then yelled out from the back of the stands, ''Hey, wait for me!''

''Huh?'' Todd exclaimed in confusion as he saw Brian running towards Scott. He was hurrying so much he almost hit Todd the process. ''Hey watch it, you little brat!'' Todd yelled in anger.

Brian stopped in his tracks upon seeing Todd. ''YOU!'' He yelled out, slowly walking towards him with narrowed eyes.

Todd crossed his arms and gave a slightly irritated look. ''What is it? You've got some business with me?'' he asked before Brian tackled him to the ground, hardly from out of the open.

Todd landed on his butt, a bit dazed to what just happened. ''What's wrong with you, you little brat? Do you want to get beaten up?'' Todd exclaimed in anger.

Brian then started to snicker a bit. ''I find it hard to believe that someone as scrawny as you could beat me up. Maybe next time, you'll think twice before stealing my wallet like that or anyone else's to be exact," he said, starting to sound a bit angry.

Suddenly a hand grabbed the back of Brian's shirt revealing to be Scott. ''What is wrong with you?'' He asked a bit agitated as he looked at Todd sitting on the ground.

''Oh come on he had it coming from stealing money from other people, which I'm pretty sure is illegal'' Brian pointed out as Scott started to pull the back of his shirt causing him to get dragged backwards with his shoes getting scratching the ground.

''Yeah,yeah, there is a such thing as self control.'' Scott pointed out seriously not looking in the mood to argue with him. '',and self-restraint you can't just attack people like that just because they got you angry'' He added in.

Brian looked a bit annoyed. ''Yeah and this is coming from the guy who got in a fight with that Foot ball player and was about to beat him up, but instead caused an explosion with his laser eyes by hitting the Propane.'' He thought to himself while still getting dragged across the field.

''Yeah you better him away.'' Todd yelled out angry while he was still on the ground. '',Just make sure he knows his place, because if he ever tries something like that again to me I'll mangle him.'' He yelled a bit louder.

''Ah shut up already.'' Brian yelled back angrily to until Scott put his good hand on his mouth.

''Just stop talking.'' Scott demanded sounding even more irritated than he already while he let Brian go allowing to move on his own again.

Todd got up off the ground and started to dust himself off.''Rotten little brat, he should be lucky that there are still some witnesses here, because if they're weren't, he would be a puddle right now,'' Todd thought to himself with a frown.

He then noticed a black fly flying across his face. His long green tongue then stretched from out of his mouth, capturing the fly, then retreated back to his mouth. He chewed a little before jumping away to who knows where.

Back in the car, the bald man looked towards the field with a straight face. ''Things are under control...for now," he said to a dark-skinned women with long grey hair. "But we had better hurry; I've got a train to catch.''


In the train station the same bald man and white-haired woman stood waiting.

The gray-haired woman looked around the train station and saw a young blonde hair boy exiting the white and red-colored train, holding two bags in both of his hands. ''Kurt?'' She asked

''That's not Kurt,'' the bald man responded, looking to the far left of the train. ''This is." He looked directly at a tall figure wearing a black cloak and holding two long bags.

''And the other new recruit?" she asked him while looking down at the bald-headed man.

''If you're referring to Brian, then he made it here safe and sound and should already going to the X – Mansion,'' he responded quietly to her. The cloaked figure was walking towards them as he spoke.


Somewhere far away from Bayville, a day after that explosion happened at Bayville High, a muscular man wearing blue jeans, a brown jacket, and black gloves rode his red-colored motorcycle on a pathway. He removed his red helmet, revealing blue hair, as he stopped in front of a market.

In it, an old man, who wore glasses and had little grey hair left on his head, read a book with a green cover on it, until he head the bell on top of his door rang.

He looked up to see the motorcycler, was standing inside his market, taking off his black gloves.

The blue-haired man then walked towards some newspapers to see it had ''EXPLOSION AT HIGH SCHOOL'' as the cover. ''Hmm trouble at home," he mumbled to himself.

The old man looked towards him. ''You-you want that paper?'' he asked.

''That's why I'm holding it bub,'' the blue-haired man responded. He walked up to the counter. ''A bottle of water too,'' he said while opening the newspaper. ''Cold," he added.

The old man walked towards his the fridge, getting a cold bottle of water out. ''Warm weather we're having this time of year,'' he pointed out to the blue-haired man while walking back towards him.

The old man put down the bottle of water. The blue-haired man grabbed it. The old man was looking at the $20 on the counter until he heard a slicing noise. ''Huh?'' The man exclaimed, seeing the top of the glass bottle was cut clean through.

''AHH, recycle that will ya," the blue-haired man said, putting down the empty bottle of water on the counter. The old man looked at it in shock as the man left his market.

Far away from the market, on a stone ledge high up in a forest, a man with long, light brown hair, and claws let out a growl, showing his four front fangs.

-Back in the market not to long after the Blue haired man left-

The old man was looking at the empty glass bottle in confusion/shock. ''How did he do that guy do that?'' He asked while walking in front of the counter casting a shadow behind him. ''I've seen a lot of strange things in my days, but this one takes the cake.'' The old continued not noticing that someone or something in white was slowly coming from out of his shadow.

''Looks like I've just missed that clawed freak.'' A female voice exclaimed sounding a bit annoyed which caused the man to turn around in horror.

The man then turned around quickly to see a thin, tall teenage girl with long white hair, blue eyes that was as cold as ice and was wearing a long white skirt, shirt and sandles while she was playing with a Yin-Yang necklace symbol that was around her neck while she was coming out from his shadow that was still in front of him.

''Wh-Who are what are-'' The old man began in fear as his shadow suddenly went to the side of him as the girl fully made her way out of the shadow as she began to grin at him evilly.

''Your worst nightmare.'' She responded as an evil grin suddenly changed to a menacing expression. ''Bye.'' She exclaimed while moving towards him quickly

''AAAAHHHHH''' The man yelled out in terror.


Later, the same day, in a mansion surrounded with green hedges, Brian was in a room. It had a brown wooden floor, a large bed with crimson covers, a long scarlet rug, stereo speakers, a small drawer with a lamp on it, and a rather big mirror on a hazel stand. A long window was at the end.

Brian jumped on his bed excitedly while talking to someone on a black cell phone. ''Mom, I made it to the mansion safe and sound!'' he said, trying to sound calm as he jumped up and down on his bed.

''That's great sweety,'' his mom said from the phone, sounding happy for her son. But then her voice seemed a bit worried. ''But I heard there was an explosion at the school that you'll be attending in just two more days.''

Brain started to get a bit irritated with his mother for worrying about him so much, but didn't show it. ''Calm down mom, I'm perfectly safe, and I think I made a new friend already,'' he replied back through the phone, jumping off his bed. ''And a new enemy,'' he thought

''That's great honey, I'll tell your dad about this. Now I have to got for photo shoot honey. Be nice to the other kids there. Bye!'' She exclaimed as she hung up the phone.

''Well I'm going to miss Mom, and my dad, too, for sure.'' Brian thought to himself, a bit sad. However, he decided to keep a more peppy attitude, ''But this was my mom's idea, and I do want to have better control over my powers so I can use them for good,'' he said dramatically.

''Open up.'' A voice demanded sounding like it was coming a few rooms down from where Brian's room was. ''Who is making that noise? Is it Scott?'' He exclaimed while hearing familiar voice from outside of his room.
