Chapter 4: Fights For Control

Author's Note:

Yes I am now aware of the mistakes I made on locations... Well I'm not perfect, no one is.

As for why Rebecca is with the brotherhood... This next chapter may have some insight on that...

As for when this story takes place well... That's more complicated.

On the Yugioh half it right after Battle City but on the X Men... It's a mix of seasons... mainly because I had some crazy ideas on what our heroes (and villains) will do in Bayville.

I'd also like to add the things I write about doing when someone is blind, I get from my epic friend, Roman, who started going blind when I was eight and now is completely blind.

He's really cool to hang around with and is kind of the real life male version of Toph from ATLA excluding the earth bending.

He told me all the different things that he uses to get around places like school, the mall, and airports.

Thank you for all the wonderful and helpful reviews and I hope to hear more from you as I write. Nothing helps my brain juice work better than epic reviews.

Also I'm thinking of throwing another mutant or two in to the Brotherhood...Who do you think it or they should be?

*Ryou/Bakura

*Mai

*Marik

*Noah (I have a plan on how he gets in the story, if you vote this one...)

*Rex and Weevil (Oh come on, they HAVE to go as a pair)

I can go with any of them, but I stuck on who so... Vote in the comments on your favorite and what powers should they posses.

Two chapters after this one I'll close voting and make a decision... Then you'll see who won a ticket into the Brotherhood and mutant-hood.

SHADOW OF EYES

REBECCA'S P.O.V.

"Who are you?" I asked as I sunk in to the corner.

I been hiding from the social workers at my Grandpa's old cabin.

They been trying to put me in a home even though he's not dead!

He's just... missing...

No one knows about this cabin besides me and... Gramps...

Where are you?

But that not the point...

All of a sudden this guy shows up in red and purple with a raven on his shoulder... and I forget to mention he's floating a foot off the ground.

The man knelt down to me and said, "It's been along time Rebecca..."

"You know me..."

He smiled and said, "Yes although you we're just a baby when I first met you, your Grandfather had invited me over to meet you and discuss things of the past and the possible present."

I gawked at him and said, "You know my Gramps?"

He nodded and said, "Yes and I was deeply sadden to hear of his disappearance..."

I sob quietly and said, "He not dead... and they are already trying to put me in a home... Just like..."

He landed on the ground and said, "Just like when your parents died... I am truly sorry young one... You've already seen too much of life's cruelties..."

I looked up at him and said, "You never answered my question... Who are you?"

He smiled and said, "You may call me Magneto. I am a mutant with the ability to control metals."

I asked, "Ummm... What's a mutant?"

He replied, "The next step in human evolution, which gives people like me abilities. Your grandfather was one... and so are you."

I stuttered out, "My gr-gramps... and me... What...?!"

He nodded and said, "Your grandfather is a very strong telepath with natural clairvoyance... He literally could find anything he was looking for."

I looked up at him and asked, "What about me?"

He lifted his hand up and the raven climbed on to it.

There's something about that bird...

It different like... like it's not a bird!

He smirked and said, "You share your grandfather's telepathy but, you can detect other mutants like Mystique here."

I watched as the bird flapped down and turned into a blue woman with bright red hair and yellow eyes.

I gasped and said, "Whoa..."

She smiled and said, "I have the ability to change shape, but your abilities allow you to find me no matter what form I am in."

I looked at Magneto and said, "Why are you telling me this?"

He knelt down to me and said, "Because I wish to help you... you and all other mutants like you. I want to protect you from people who wouldn't understand your wonderful gifts. Humans will never understand you truly, so I wish to surround you with your own kind."

He held out his hand and said, "Rebecca, will honor me and join my Brotherhood of Mutants?"

He's eyes sparkled with a kindness as he spoke.

I had seen in both the eyes of my friends and... Gramps...

That little twinkle had always been a signal to me...

He can be trusted...

I set my hand in his and said, "Al-Alright..."

He helped me stand and said, "Good, now you will need a name to represent yourself among mutants. Tell me young one... What is your name?"

I thought for a moment about what he had told me how I could find others like us...

A smile crept on to my lips as I looked at the two adults in front of me.

"Tracer... My name is Tracer..."

"Lil' Sis? You awake?" Lance said as he shook my shoulder.

I slowly opened my eyes to see we were still on the plane.

I yawned and said, "Yeah... I'm up..."

He nodded and said, "You looked like you were dreaming..."

I looked out the window and said, "No... more of a memory really..."

He nodded and said, "Well the Captain said we be landing soon so I thought I wake you up Lil' Sis."

I smiled at his use of my nickname and said, "Well Big Bro, thank you."

I pulled out my deck box and asked, "You want to duel?"

He laughed and said, "No way! You're like a pro at it! You've beaten me like what 20 times?"

I gave a small giggle and said, "No, only 19... I want to make it even."

"What the heck are you talking about Tracer?"

I looked over to the seat across from me to see Petro was awake and looking at me.

I smiled and said, "Well you see, there's this game called Duel Monsters and..."

Petro held up a deck and said, "I know about the game, what I didn't know is that you two play."

Lance replied, "I didn't until she taught me to. She's some kind of dueling genius..."

Petro pulled out the table and said, "We'll see about that..."

I smirked and said, "Let's Duel!"

45 MINUTES LATER

"I win." I said simply as the duel concluded.

Petro gawked at me and asked, "How?!"

I smirked and said, "Did I forget I'm ranked as the one of the worlds best duelist. I'm the 7th best duelist in the world."

He gasped and said, "You're what?! No way!"

I quickly pulled out my laptop and pulled up the ranking list with photographs.

I flipped it around and said, "See for yourself."

He pulled it up and read the list aloud;

Top 10 Duelist in the World (As of Battle City)

1. Yugi Motou (The King of Games)

2. Seto Kaiba

3. Joey Wheeler

4. Marik Ishtar

5. Ryou Bakura

6. Mai Valentine

7. Rebecca Hopkins

8. Maximilian Pegasus

9. Weevil Underwood

10. Rex Raptor

"That's you!" He yelled as he pointed to my picture.

I nodded and said, "And my contact in Japan happens to be the King of Games himself."

Lance raised an eyebrow and asked, "Who is that?"

Petro buzzed and said, "He is the top ranked duelist in the world, master of all games. Yugi Motou the legendary King of Games!"

I looked at Petro and said, "Who knew... Petro's a secret Otaku of Duel Monsters..."

Lance laughed and I said, "You don't know what that means, do you Big Bro?"

He nodded and said, "Well yeah, but it sounded hilarious!"

I replied, "It means he a huge fan. Otaku is a common phrase in Japan and trust me Petro is a total Otaku..."

Petro smirked and said, "Well you got to admit it's kind of exciting to be meeting him..."

I sighed and said, "Don't forget, we have a mission remember?"

He nodded and said, "So, you picking up the vibes yet?"

I shook my head and said, "They aren't using their... gifts right now, so I can't track them... but the moment they do, I have a lock."

I heard a ding and then the captain said through the intercom, "Attention we are now beginning our descent into Domino City, please buckle up and put the tables in a upright position. Thank you for flying Air Domino."

I did as instructed and buckled in.

I watched out the window as we came closer to the ground.

Somewhere out there, there are four new mutants...

I will find them, and show them what I was offered...

Sanctuary...

Family...

Freedom...

JEAN'S P.O.V.

"Hey it good to see you made it." I said to Joey as he got out of the taxi car.

He looked different now that he was out on the streets instead of his home.

He wore a green jacket with a white t-shirt underneath it, along with a pair of blue jeans.

He wore a thing of sunglasses close to what Scott wears, only no red filters and he carried a long cane striped in white, red, and black, with a leather strip that hung neatly on his wrist.

He smiled in my general direction and said, "Yeah... wouldn't dream of missing it."

The man who was driving the taxi got out and pulled out his bags for him.

He then said, "Alright that's it..."

Joey smiled and said, "Thanks for the ride."

The taxi driver smiled and said as he got back in to his taxi, "It's my job kid. Good luck."

Joey then asked me, "So where to now... Jean? Is that right?"

I laughed and said, "Yes Joey, I'm Jean. We're going in the building, I'll have Scott come out and get your bags. I'll lead you in and..."

He raised his hand in protest and said, "Look down on the ground."

I looked and asked, "What am I looking at?"

He replied, "Whether you notice or not, there are groves on these side walks that when I run my cane over them..."

He clicked his cane along the ground and turned toward the door.

"Tell me which way the entrance is... also being able to use the room echo helps."

I smiled and said, "I keep forgetting you can do that. Let's go inside."

We walked in the doors of the airport and I looked over toward Scott.

'Can you grab his bags? I'm taking him to our waiting room.'

He nodded and headed out the door.

I lead Joey down the hallway to a private room we rented.

I opened the door and said, "Alright here's the last one Professor."

Everyone (with the exception of Scott) was here, including the new mutants.

The Professor smiled and said, "Ah yes Joesph, glad you could make it."

He took off his sunglasses revealing his pasty grey eyes and said, "Yeah me too."

Joey held his hand near his ear and snapped.

He smiled and maneuvered himself at an inhuman speed to a free seat next to Yugi and across from the Kaiba brothers blowing up the papers as he went by.

Mokuba said, "Whoa... How you do that Joey?"

He cocked his head and said, "Well I can move as super speed..."

Mokuba shook his head and said, "Not that, I mean how did you find that exact chair?"

Joey smiled and said, "Well I have... Hey Teach what did you say I could do?"

The Professor replied, "Joesph can echo locate. With a sound just a bit louder than a human voice he can create an echo version of this room in his head."

Kaiba replied, "So he can see using his power... Interesting."

Joey laughed and said, "I never in my life thought I hear Kaiba admitting to something like powers let alone having any."

Kaiba yelled, "Shut it Mutt!"

Kaiba looked over at Yugi and said, "You don't seem that surprised by any of this Yugi... You seem too nonchalant about this..."

Yugi shrugged and said, "I assume it's the nature of my abilities... considering I saw this happen once before... Well, more or less..."

Joey then said, "But it's happening right now. How could you have seen this happen already?"

He replied, "One of my abilities is precognition... I can see the future through my dreams... but they're very abstract and sometimes difficult to interpret."

Kaiba then said, "That's one of your abilities... what are the others?"

Yugi then placed his hand through the table.

Mokuba yelled,"What the heck?!"

Kitty smirked and said, "He's like me. We both can phase through solid objects."

Yugi pulled his hand out of the table and asked, "So Kaiba, what can you do?"

Kaiba gripped his hand on the large table and lifted in a single hand above his head.

Joey then said, "The tables gone... Can he teleport or..."

I replied, "He's lifting it up above his head Joey, with a single hand at that."

He set it down and said, "That's one of the things I can do... The other two are a bit more difficult..."

I watched as Kaiba closed his eyes and tried to calm himself.

Then I watched in amazement as his skin turned into a layer of beautiful clear crystals, even his hair was the brilliant stone.

He open his eyes and the crystals were there as well only they stayed the same color as is irises, the same icy blue that popped against the glistening stone.

Then a small light emanated from his palms as he held his hand up showing the twinkling light.

It was almost blinding how bright it was.

Yugi said, "Whoa..."

Mokuba stood up and said, "It's a lot more than last time..."

Storm nodded and said, "Indeed, the crystal now appears to envelope his entire body."

Kaiba yelled, "It's what?!"

As Kaiba placed his hands on his face to check if it was true the crystals retracted back into his skin making him look normal once more.

Joey asked, "What happened?"

The Professor replied, "Here I show you a mental image."

Joey sat there for a moment and said, "Whoa... He's like that right now?"

I responded, "No, he was a second ago..."

Joey nodded and said, "Alright that just like Mokuba... What can you do?"

Mokuba sighed and said, "Alright, but it's going to get chilly..."

Mokuba placed his hands on the table and it began to cover in a thin layer of ice.

Yugi shivered and said, "Ice powers... You must get really cold."

He shrugged and said, "It doesn't bother me."

Scott walked in the door and said, "I got the bags loaded and they said, we can take off in about an hour."

The Professor nodded and said, "Well lets get boarded on the Blackbird now."

Everyone nodded probably knowing it be the best considering we have two disabled people with us.

We all got up and started walking through the airport.

All of a sudden a girl tackles Yugi to the ground in a hug.

He said, "Rebecca?! What are you doing here?!" "Oh man they're here!"

I turned and saw Petro and Lance coming after the girl.

Lance then said, "Rebecca, why are you hugging that guy?"

She smiled and let go of Yugi. "That's Yugi. Oh Joey and Kaiba are here too? Weird..."

Joey smiled and said, "It's good to hear you Rebecca... It's been a while..."

She looked at Joey and said, "Hey Joey... Why aren't you looking at me?"

Yugi replied, "You missed a lot... About a month ago Joey was in an almost fatal car accident, he recovered well but..."

Joey then bluntly said, "I can't see... Well not anymore..."

Rebecca gasped and said, "Oh Joey I'm so sorry... But who are all these people your with?"

Petro replied, "These guys are the X men..."

Her eyes widen and she said, "So... the new mutants..."

She looked at the four and her eyes widen even further.

"You're ones too..."

She a mutant?

'Yes Jean, she a telepath and can trace mutant signatures...' The Professor said mentally.

Petro zoomed up to Yugi and Kaiba and said, "The King of Games and Seto Kaiba! Incredible! Both are..."

Rebecca laughed and said, "You are such and Otaku Quicksilver."

Kaiba glared at her and said, "Why are you here and who are these people?!"

She smirked and said, "Well I'm here for the four of you... as for who my traveling friends are Petro and Lance, but to your pals here, they are Quicksilver and Avalanche."

Lance then said, "Oh come on Tracer, we don't have all day."

She glared at the four and said, "Look I'm make you an offer to come with us... Join the Brotherhood and we can rise above the rest."

Kaiba glared and said, "Sorry we've already have all the paperwork in motion, even if we wished to join your... group we have to change every bit of our aliases and to be frank... I don't like the look of your pals."

Lance smirked and said, "Fine then... You get a taste of what's to come!"

His eyes began to roll back and the building began to shake.

People began screaming in fear, due to the fact a plane was just beginning it's decent.

I yelled, "Enough Avalanche! You keep this up and people are going to get killed! This is an airport, one false tremor and you kill hundreds! You understand?!"

He went wide eyed and the shaking stopped.

We all started walking away when I hear Yugi say to Rebecca in a deeper voice, "Think hard Rebecca... Who are the real bad guys? Us or them? It all up to you and the choice you make... I will not blame you... But be fare warned... The side you choose may make us enemies... Consider that..."

He walked away with us and we boarded the Blackbird.

And I thought my life was interesting to begin with...
