Wolf got several looks and glares from the other students, but he shook it off. "This is between you and me," he growled, changing form.

Logan glanced around at everyone else, then nodded. "Fine," he let Bobby go and extended his claws.

Wolf snarled and charged at him. Before he could get a bite, Logan moved with surprising speed and gave Wolf a kick to the chest that left him winded. A few of the students tried to grab him, but he rolled back to his feet and jumped and Logan, sinking his teeth into his leg.

Logan let out an uncharacteristically high-pitched shriek, then began to flicker and change color. He took the form of a woman with blue skin and red hair.

"Mystique!" Scott gasped.

"I've had enough of this!" Mystique did a back flip, kicking Wolf in the chin. Wolf was flipped into the wall, hitting his head hard. He passed out.

He woke up again to someone shaking him. "Wolf!"

"Pyro?" he shook his head.

Pyro sighed in relief. "Don't move. Scott said to leave you there until we know you haven't broken anything."

Wolf ignored him and shakily got to his feet. "Where did she go?" he growled, sniffing the air.

"She left ten minutes ago, with Bobby," Pyro grabbed his shoulder, "Scott went to contact the others, he said he'll take you to the infirmary after he calls Hank back. I really think you should lay back down"

"I'm fine!" Wolf snapped. "Tell Scott I went after them. I'm going to bring Bobby back. I can smell her trail, I made her bleed."

"Wolf, no! You sh-!"

"Go!" Wolf changed to his wolf-form and took off running. His head was a little dizzy from the hit, but he kept to the scent trail and ran as fast as his body allowed, through the woods. In twenty-five minutes, he could tell he was close. That lady had been using something to travel, but they stopped in a clearing up ahead.

He cautiously slowed down and sniffed the air. He could smell Bobby clearly, along with a lot of metal, but the lady was gone.

He walked into the clearing and saw Bobby in a sort of metal cage. He ran over and changed form. "Bobby, are you all right?"

Bobby looked at him in surprise. "Wolf! You gotta get out of here, man, they'll be back any minute!"

"I'm not going back without you," Wolf huffed, looking for a way to get him out. "I promised Logan to take care of things." He noticed that the metal was only above ground, so he changed back to Wolf-form and began to dig.

Bobby watched him. When Wolf had made a big enough hole, Bobby squeezed through. "Thanks," he sighed in relief, "Let's go!"

Wolf nodded and turned to start running again, but after a few steps, something tightened on his hind paw, trapping him. He looked down to see a long metal chain. He must have triggered it somehow.

Bobby knelt down and pulled at the chain, but he couldn't budge it.

Wolf changed back to a human so he could talk. "Go back to the mansion, Bobby. It's you they want, not me. If the don't have you, they can't do whatever they were planning."

Bobby looked at him for a few seconds, then slowly nodded. "I'll have Scott send help," he said as he turned to run off.

Wolf struggled and pulled, rubbing his ankle raw. After ten minutes, he was almost ready to chew his foot off. Then he smelled two people approaching.

"What have we here?" the startled voice of an older man spoke. Wolf turned and looked at him. He was dressed in red and purple armor, with white hair sticking out from beneath his metal helmet. His grey eyes glared steadily at Wolf, then turned to the blue woman from earlier. "This is not the boy I sent you for!" he said harshly.

"That is not the boy I brought you," the women replied, "That's the one who bit my leg!"

The man eyed him again. "Ah, this is the new student. Wolf, I think he was called. You brought me information on him last week when I asked you to look through the student files. Well, he's not much use to me, is he?"

Wolf stared in shock that they knew his name.

"Don't act so surprised," the man walked closer, "I keep tabs on all of the students going through that school. You never know if one with promise will show up. Too bad none have recently." He looked Wolf over one last time, then shook his head. "No, he won't do at all. What a shame." He turned around and began to walk away.

Wolf was about to protest when he heard a strange, high-pitched sound to his right. Something smelled like metal

CLONK!

He felt a sharp pain on the side of his head as something hit him, then all went blurry and he blacked out.

*AUTHOR'S COMMENTS*

Yeah, I could have had this up yesterday, but I wanted to see people's comments ^^;

Congrats to V L Crawford and Downey for President , they were the only ones of fanfiction and deviantart to figure it out.

Henshu: Yeah, Pyro would probably be the most likely to be a traitor out of the students :P But in the universe Wolf lives in, Pyro won't turn a villain until he's much older

Also Chapter 42! the Ultimate Answer to the Ultimate Question! Kudos to anyone who's with me on that :D
