A pack of alien creatures were climbing up a stone pillar in pursuit of their next meal. Standing on top was a heroic-looking man with long, flowing blonde hair. Seeing a flying creature pass by, the man wrapped rope around its tail and held on as he was carried out of danger.

He was then seen in an advanced city getting into a flying car and using it to avoid some futuristic-looking cops. Then, as if he had walked into another adventure, he was in some submarine firing torpedoes at some octopus-like monster.

There were more clips of the man doing heroic stunts before it changed to him standing on a mountain, looking triumphant. The word Longshot then appeared on the screen, revealing that it was all nothing but an intro to a television show.

"No! No!" The person watching raged. Well, this wasn't a person, but an alien. A horribly disguising green creature. It had sharp claws and teeth, but its most distinguishable feature was its massive girth. So massive that it was attached to some device with metal crab-like legs for moving. At the end of the device was some kind of tail that made the moving gadget appear like a scorpion. For hair, it had metal wires sticking out. This was Mojo.

"Domo!" Mojo demanded.

A man in green robes walked in. "You ranted, sir." He said calmly.

"I'm ruined!" The alien complained as it walked down a corridor. "Ratings are off. Video's in the toiled. My sponsors want to deep-fry me!" Once at the end of the hall, they reached a door that opened to reveal the hero, Longshot, having makeup applied to him.

"And your action figures aren't selling." Mojo complained to the star as he lifted him in the air.

"You designed the show." Longshot told him. "So change it."

"Change it?" Mojo asked in disbelief. "You cold sore!" He threw the actor onto a nearby couch.

"Just try replacing me!" Longshot challenged. "You've abused every decent actor in the galaxy. You're a soulless, sadistic bag of pus, and you smell!"

"Ooh!" The obese creature pretended to be offended. "Flattery, young man, will get you absolutely nowhere." He then started laughing. "You little vermin." He made wolf sounds before he went back to yelling. "You're all dog meat! Look at this."

He pulled out a piece of hair from his nose. "See this nose hair? It can act better than you!" He held it up and examined it further. "Actually, if I hold it up to the light, it looks like you in a tuxedo!"

Longshot just walked out of the room, done with his boss's ranting.

"He had a point, oh bulbous one." Domo said.

"What do you mean?" Mojo asked.

Domo got Mojo a drink, which he poured down his throat before belching.

"Tell me we have a replacement." Mojo begged Domo before burping again. "Tell me, please!"

"Nothing proven, most congealed master." Domo smirked, placed a disk into a player, and pressed a button.

On the various monitors, an image was shown of Cyclops firing his optic blast before showing Storm, then Jubilee, and finally the X-Men on their various adventures.

"The X-Men, a little primitive, and from a backwater dimension we don't usually bother with." Domo explained.

Mojo didn't care about the details. "Do I look like a man that cares?" "I don't care! Get them!" He was excited that he had found the next big thing. "Mojo can make a star out of anyone!"

"Instantaneous test numbers are good in all dimensions, oh potentate of programming." Domo agreed.

Mojo was imaging the results he would get once he had the X-Men. "The passion! The drama!" He let out a cheer. "And we can get them cheap! I'm just making money just standing here thinking about it!" As he spun around with his arms open. "Am I standing?"

"You may have done it again." Domo praised.

"Of course I have!" Mojo waved off. "I am a genius! Get Mojo the X-Men!"

At a mall, Scott and Jean were at a television store talking to a salesman.

"This is the finest television available today." The salesman said. "Digital everything, a thousand three hundred scan lines."

"Does it have a built-in surge protector?" Scott asked.

"Our last television met with an unfortunate accident." Jean elaborated.

"Accident?" The employee was confused. "I don't understand."

Scott smiled. "You'd have to know Jubilee."

Jubilee was on the couch watching the movie Poltergeist, trying to hold back her fear. She turned to see Danny watching it with no hint of terror in his eyes.

"How can you not be afraid of this?" Jubilee asked.

"I've seen worse." Danny stated with a shrug. "Much worse."

At the part where the boy was attacked by a clown doll, Jubilee screamed and accidentally let out a firework, which hit the TV, destroying it.

"That's the third time this week." Danny pointed out.

The salesman pulled out a remote control. "She won't have any trouble with our new remote control."

"Uh-uh." One of the televisions turned on, showing Mojo's face. "Don't touch that dial!"

"That's odd." The man tried changing the channel, but Mojo was there every time.

"Hey, I warned you." Mojo said as a blast of red came out of the TV and hit the poor man. "Nobody tunes out Mojovision!"

All the customers fled while Scott and Jean confronted Mojo.

"Who are you?" Scott demanded. "What do you want?"

"Woah, woah." Mojo tried to ease Scott's hostility. "Let's not get off on the wrong foot, bubby. Can we talk? I've had my eye on your career. Forceful, heroic. Loved what you did with the Sentinels! Star potential!"

Scott and Jean shared a look at Mojo's erratic turn of emotions.

Mojo let out another burp. "Sorry, it must have been the producer I had for lunch." He apologized. "I mean the thing with the eye blasts. Talk about your x-ray specs, baby, you'll knock them dead!"

"Who are you?" Scott asked. "Is this some kind of sick joke?"

"Cyclops, sweetheart!" Mojo said in an affectionate voice. "I'm offering you X-Men a lifetime contract! With the standard non-survival clauses. Don't worry, it's just a formality."

Scot was still confused. "I'm still not sure what you're selling, pal, but we're leaving."

Scott and Jean turned to leave.

"A rejection." Mojo said, sounding like he was trying to hold back tears. "Well, well, I should have known better than to try to help out some ungrateful amateur act from a..." He tried to find the right words. "From a dirt-bag dimension like yours!"

He then started to insult Cyclops. "Who do you think you are? You're nothing! A nobody!" He then exploded in rage. "And nobody says no to Mojo!" Sparks came from the TV and electrocuted the couple.

Mojo laughed and was about to continue when Scott blasted the TV.

Mojo appeared on another television. "Listen up, one eye. I make the program decisions around here."

Scott dodged another spark and moved Jean to safety before firing at the television. Mojo laughed as he appeared on another. And another. And another.

Cyclops kept destroying the machines before he was electrocuted again.

Jean got up and saw Scott in danger.

"Stop it!" She commanded Mojo. "He can't survive much more!"

"Oh, tell it to a lawyer." Mojo said dismissively. "Do I interfere in your contract negotiations? Like I need some two-bit supporting actress telling me how to run my business!"

He tried to shock Jean, but she blocked it with a psychic shield as Wolverine ran in.

"What is this?" Logan asked. "The Fourth of July?"

Storm, Beast, Rogue, and Danny also came in.

"Oh, God, that is one disgusting monster." Danny said as he looked at Mojo. "What is this movie, some Star Wars rip-off with a horrible Jabba the Hutt knock-off?"

The electricity stopped as Jean embraced Scott. "Scott! Are you alright?"

The other X-Men were looking at Mojo.

"Now that's what I call entertainment." Mojo complimented. "Spiral! Would you show our cast to the studio and call wardrobe? They look like they dressed out of a dumpster! I mean really." The screen changed to show Spiral, who was a four-armed woman wearing armor. She then stepped out of the TVs and into the X-Men's reality.

'Excuse me one moment, would you, please?" Mojo's voice sounded through the store.

"The auditions are closed." Spiral said. "Time to report to the set."

"And I thought insurance agents were pushy." Danny quipped.

Spiral started to fire blasts out of her hands at the X-Men. Every time one of them was hit, they disappeared.

Soon, only Scott and Jean were left.

"Jean!" Scott tried to protect her by firing at Spiral, only to be hit. Jean tried to make a run for it, but tripped over a cord and was taken away as well.

Spiral then went back into the TVs.

Mojo was in front of an audience, and right next to him was a glass box. He let out a gasp of joy as the X-Men appeared one by one. They all glowed as their clothes changed into their uniforms.

The X-Men all looked at the various alien species that were in the audience.

"What an entrance!" Mojo said. "Can you hear the applause? They love you guys! Stick with me, and you, X-Men, will be stars. Not like that ungrateful has-been..." He tried to remember the name. "What's his name?"

Longshot was around the corner, watching as Mojo was observing the X-Men.

"Longshot, O depraved omelet." Domo answered.

"Longshot." Mojo said in disgust as he made spitting noises. "He'll never eat lunch in this universe again! He's gone; he's history; he's jet fumes."

Longshot left the studio in anger.

"He is forgotten, O corrupter of Crania." Domo assured Mojo.

Wolverine turned to Danny. "Phase us out of this, bub."

"And how would we get back?" Danny said as he looked at the audience. "Cause I don't think we're on Earth anymore."

"You got about ten seconds to send us back!" Scott threatened Mojo.

"Excuse me, are you threatening me?" Mojo asked as the audience laughed. "Hey, hey, hey, this isn't a comedy!" Mojo scolded. "If you can't keep your lines straight, I can write you out of the first act!"

"How about you write us out of the whole script and send us back home?" Danny offered.

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely, as seems evident." Beast said as he observed Mojo.

"Hey, furball, you had all your shots?" Mojo said. "And what, pray tell, are you X-Men going to give this mind-numbed bunch of couch potatoes and the trillions watching at home? What do they want to see? Peace? Freedom? Maybe good government?" Mojo laughed. "They want blood and guts and love and hate. They want entertainment! You give them action! Action! Action!"

Mojo pretended he had a rifle as he made shooting noises.

The X-Men just watched the ridiculous scene.

"This guy needs to get laid." Danny said.

Scott had an idea. "Danny, can you overshadow him and make him send us back?"

Danny nodded, but before he could do anything, the box started spinning around. When it stopped, the X-Men noticed that Danny was gone.

"Danny!" Rogue cried as she turned to Mojo with fire in her eyes. "What did you do to him, you miserable..."

Rogue was about to say the f-word when it was beeped out.

"Ah, ah, ah." Mojo wiggled his finger. "You can't say that on television. But don't worry; we'll release the uncensored version when it comes out on video. As for your friend, he was taken away somewhere where he wouldn't come up with any bright ideas."

Mojo pointed to several large, blank mirrors. A bolt of lightning hit one, and in the mirror was Danny frozen in a heroic pose.

"We'll just keep him on ice until we're ready for him to star in one of my new shows, just like the rest of you will be." Mojo said.

Scott refused to go along with Mojo's game. "The X-Men don't fight without a reason!"

"Violence and destruction are not forms of amusement." Storm added.

"Trust me, oh my performing cattle, they are!" Mojo said. "And if ratings don't go up with every show, I'll cancel the series and its performers permanently!"

Mojo called out to the control room. "Control room, it's showtime!"

In the control room, Spiral was pressing buttons and flipping switches.

The box spun around again, and when it stopped, Rogue noticed another teammate was missing.

"What happened to Storm?"

Jean also noticed Scott was missing. "Scott!"

Beast then pointed to the ceiling, where there were several screens debuting Mojo's new show.

A title appeared on the screen.

Cyclops and Storm: Miami Mutants

Scott and Storm found themselves on a speedboat, trekking through the water.

"How did we get out here?" Storm asked.

"I think we can thank your friend Mojo." Scott replied.

A splash knocked their boat to the right.

"Where did that come from?" Scott said.

"Over there!" Storm pointed to the sky, where several copters were releasing torpedoes into the water.

"Torpedo!" Storm cried.

"This one's mine." Scott fired at the torpedo, making it blow up before it could hurt them.

The copters started to fire laser shots, as the boat managed to swerve out of the way.

"Now to give them the slip." Scott pressed a button that caused the boat to fly out into the city, where the copters continued to give chase.

"We can't outrun those!" Scott said.

Storm flew into the sky. "I shall deal with the airborne threat! Wind and water, whirl and rage!"

A whirlwind appeared, destroying one of the copters as the other ones managed to hit Scott's ship, causing it to catch fire.

Storm fired lightning at the other flying vehicles as Mojo cheered her on.

"Bravo! Bravo!"

One tried to fire at Storm, who kept dodging, only to be destroyed by Scott's optic blast.

Storm landed back in the damaged craft. "Cyclops! We must abandon ship!"

The crowd was cheering in delight at what they were watching.

"Now that's what I call a slam-bang ending!" Mojo announced.

Two more bolts of lighting hit the blank mirrors, showing Scott and Storm in stasis.

Mojo smiled with glee at the applause he was being given. "Listen to that audience response! I'm getting numbers there that mathematicians have never heard of." He looked at a small monitor that showed the ratings. "The ratings are going through the roof! I may have to let them live."

Jean was disgusted with Mojo. "You're sick! Scott and Storm are human beings! You can't destroy them, just to keep people amused!"

"And you also can't hold my boyfriend captive!" Rogue yelled, wishing she could tear that piece of gutter trash apart.

"Do I look like a man that cares?" Mojo asked sarcastically. "Hey, control room, bring up show number two."

Longshot was watching this all go down. "Control room." He muttered.

"Control room!" Mojo called out after not getting a response the first time.

Spiral was filing her nails. "We've got to get somebody to help with the filing."

She started flipping more switches as the box containing the X-Men spun around again.

When it was over, only Jean and Wolverine remained.

"Where's Rogue and Beast?" Wolverine asked.

Jean pointed to the screen as an announcer introduced the next show.

"More terrifying than the last time, Danny Phantom returns. And this time, the monster demands a mate."

The title of the next show appeared.

Bride of Phantom

Danny found himself in some weird castle, and to his right was Beast, who was wearing a lab coat.

"Beast, where are we?" Danny looked around and noticed something peculiar. "And why is everything in black and white?"

"It appears that we are on Mojo's new show." Beast replied.

They then noticed another scientist in the room who was lowering a table.

"It's alive!" He cried. "It's alive!"

As the table was lowered to the ground, it was placed in an upright position, revealing a female body wrapped from head to toe in bandages.

The scientist then approached the woman and started unraveling the bandages, revealing her face.

The scientist revealed his new creation. "I present the Bride of Phantom."

The mad doctor backed away, showing that the woman was Rogue.

"Where am I?" She demanded before noticing Danny. She grinned and got off the table to hug her man. "Danny! You're alright!"

The tender moment was interrupted as shouting was heard.

The three X-Men looked out the window to see a mob of villagers approaching the castle with torches and pitchforks.

"And there's the angry mob." Danny said. "I think we can take them."

"But not tonight." Mojo's voice proclaimed. "As there's a full moon tonight."

Danny looked at the moon to see that it was indeed full.

"And?" Danny prompted.

"And all of those villagers are werewolves!" Mojo revealed.

The mob fell to their knees as they went through a painful transformation. In a matter of minutes, the ordinary citizens were now bloodthirsty werewolves.

"I can just turn us intangible and invisible." Danny pointed out before he fell to his knees.

"Danny!" Rogue raced to his side. "What's wrong?"

The pain stopped as Danny tried to turn invisible and intangible but found he couldn't.

"I can't phase through anything or turn invisible." Danny said in shock. "He was able to turn off some of my powers, but how?"

"You're in my dimension now, so you play by my rules." Mojo's voice echoed throughout the castle.

The crowd was letting out shouts of excitement at the three X-Men battling werewolves.

Mojo smirked. "I give it two flippers up."

Danny, Rogue, and Beast were then placed in stasis along with the rest of the X-Men.

Mojo called out for the next show to begin. "Next!"

Spiral made the preparations as Wolverine and Jean were placed in the next show.

"And now it's Wolverine, starring in..." Mojo pointed to the screens. "I Dream of Jean! Let's give it up. Push that applause button, Spiral. Let's rock and roll."

Wolverine was climbing a building with his claws when Jean appeared at the top.

"Wolverine! Listen!" Jean tried to explain what was going on. "Mojo says it's only entertainment. He won't let us win! He's controlling everything that happens!"

A robot came up behind Jean and transformed into a man with a gun, wearing a black jumpsuit with a skull logo.

I'm going to try..." She was interrupted when she was knocked back as the blast almost hit her.

"Jean!" Wolverine shouted out in worry as he entered a nearby window, only to be confronted by three more robots that transformed into three weird-looking aliens.

"What a love story!" Mojo commended. "Am I moved by this mush, or what?"

Wolverine avoided the robot's attacks and managed to rip two of them apart as he dealt with the third.

Jean was dealing with her attacker by dodging his shots, only to end up falling over the edge. She would have fallen to her death if she hadn't grabbed onto the ledge.

"This is so exciting!" Mojo was salivating. "And I know a way to make it even better." He shouted up to the control room. "Put in Phantom! He's an audience favorite."

Danny was teleported onto the roof when he noticed someone about to shoot Jean at point-blank range. Danny pushed the man aside and pulled Jean up.

They then heard Mojo's voice again.

"The highest ratings ever for an educational show!"

"Entertainment." Jean realized. "It's just television. Electronic images created by machines."

"Yeah, well, these machines are able to turn off some of my powers." Danny said. "Thanks to that walking pile of sludge, I can't turn invisible or intangible."

The robot got up and was about to attack the two when Wolverine was thrown through the ceiling and on to the roof.

"Logan!" Jean called out.

"Hang on, Jean." Logan said as he kept avoiding the robot's attacks.

Jean closed her eyes. "Electronic images created by machines, and machines can be affected by psycho-kinetic energy!"

Back in the control room, Spiral gasped as the machines went haywire. "What... What is this?"

Danny felt his powers return, thanks to Jean's interference.

"You know what else can be affected by machines?" Danny said to Jean. "Ghosts."

Jean and Danny shared a smirk as Danny phased into her.

Jean closed her eyes, and through her telepathy and Danny in her body, she was able to send Danny into the machines.

"No!" Mojo cried at the interruption. "Control room! What are you doing up there? Sitting on your hands! Go to a commercial! Go to reruns! Go to an infomercial! Go to something! I'm losing my audience to a bunch of dead trees!" Mojo saw that his audience was reading books that they had brought with them.

Danny's face appeared on the monitor. "Wow, you know your show sucks when people would rather read a book." He mocked.

"What are you doing?" Mojo demanded. "What's going on?"

"Looks like you've got a ghost inside your machine." Danny remarked.

He then phased out of the machine and into Spiral.

Longshot had entered the room and was about to send the X-Men home when he noticed Spiral being overshadowed.

"I'm going to send the X-Men home." She spoke in Danny's voice before Danny left her body and headed out into the audience.

Spiral then started pressing buttons.

"What are you doing?" Longshot asked.

"I'm setting the X-Men free." Spiral stated.

The X-Men in stasis were awakened, and they jumped out of the mirrors they were in.

Jean and Wolverine appeared in front of Mojo.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Mojo was enraged by this turn of events. "You make them into stars, and they just turn on you."

He was about to shoot them with his tail when Scott blasted it, severing the mechanical appendage.

"No!" Mojo was mortified that his tail was damaged.

Danny flew toward the monitors above everyone. He blasted the cable holding it up as the screens fell down.

Mojo noticed as he was still lecturing the X-Men. "Hold it! This, if you haven't been paying attention, is my dimension! Get with the program or get crushed!"

Mojo was then crushed by all the machinery that fell on top of him.

"Like that?" Danny joked as he floated down and landed next to his team.

Spiral appeared and blasted the heroes, sending them back home.

Back at the mall, the salesman was messing with the remote when it shocked him.

To make things even stranger, a vortex came out of one of the TVs, and out came the X-Men, now returned to their casual clothing.

"Can someone please tell me what just happened?" Scott asked.

"Let's just pretend that this never happened." Danny suggested.

"Agreed." The others said in unison.

Danny then heard his phone ring and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Hey, did you guys buy a new television yet?" Jubilee asked.

"Television is bad for you." Danny said. "Go read a book."

He then hung up, leaving a confused Jubilee on the other end.

"What's gotten into him?" She wondered out loud.

"Everything that Mojo created is gone. Especially the audience." Domo said as he overlooked the damage with Spiral and Longshot. "Ah well, nothing lasts forever, especially in television."

"Did I tell you I used to go out with an actress with two heads?" Longshot flirted with Spiral.

"Yeah?" She wrapped one of her arms around Longshot. "Was she nice?"

"Yes and no." Longshot replied.

Mojo emerged from the pile of rubble and greeted Longshot. "Bubula!"

Spiral and Longshot continued walking as Mojo followed them.

"Come here. Come here, yeah. You look great. Lost weight? Had the facelift? Whatever. Listen, it's time we did a fresh start, you know. Now we did a little re-think on that re-write for a re-group on a re-draft. No, I'm talking new show, new time slot, new dimension, bigger hair, less money. The whole nine yards!"

"Ooh!" Mojo noticed one of the active monitors. "Look! A jungle picture!"

Back in the Savage Land, a woman in shredded clothing was battling a Pteranodon that was wearing shorts for some reason.

A distance away from that was a magnificent building sticking out of the ground.

"That must be your citadel." Xavier said as he, along with Vlad and Magneto, looked over the citadel.

Magneto nodded. "Yes, when I built it, I felt I was creating a new world here."

"I had the same feeling when I saw my mansion for the first time." Vlad admitted.

They then heard the woman cry out. The three ran to where the scream was and saw the woman being chased by the Pteranodon.

"Magneto, we must help her!" Xavier ran towards them.

"No, Charles!" Magneto grabbed Xavier and pulled him to the ground. "The creature attacking the woman is Sauron. His powers would make him a dangerous foe, even if we still had our own."

Sauron gazed at the woman and let out some kind of wave energy from his eyes that hypnotized her. She then stood up and held her arms out as Sauron carried her away.

"There is nothing we can do." Magneto said as the three watched the woman be taken up into the sky.
