Neb: Magneto captures Vibrant, his sister is left back at home. Where did he take the young punk who loves to smile. Will the other brotherhood members get along fine without Ricky. After all he did come up with interesting strategies for them and prove he's one of the reasonable ones of them. Will his sister give up searching for him or will she take her search to the next level and join the X Men. Probably not, because Ricky told her family to keep her away from other mutants in order to prevent her from fighting. It's a nice thought though to consider her as a reoccurring character, but I'd rather let her work on her abilities first before tossing her into battle again, so we might not see her again for many chapters to come. Also, wow, I can't believe I've been working so much at this story after I left it alone for a long time, but I got some good reviews from two of my readers and I hope more of my viewers will fav, follow and give me feedback whether it's a simple good job or a critique on what I could have done better. But I talk too much, I do not own X Men, Enjoy the story.
Vibrant coughed as he fell out of a tank. He looked around and grunted when he saw Jean, Rogue, and the woman who asked him to side with the X Men, he thinks she was called Storm. He moved his hand to release Rogue from her tank, but someone spoke up to stop him. "That wont be necessary Vibrant," a man spoke from the shadows. He turned his head to see Magneto standing there with the X Men professor with him. What was going on, and how long has he been here. He grunted as a tremor went through his body again, but he kept himself standing. "Your still feeling affects from our last battle I see."
"You've abducted them," Charles grunted. "Let them go!"
"Why them, why me," Vibrant responded.
"Because your worthy," Magneto smiled. "They each defeated an enemy."
"Toad got defeated twice, so he's not allowed," Quicksilver laughed. Vibrant shook his head to wake himself up and then grunted when he looked at his fellow Brotherhood mutants, Avalanche, Blob, and Quicksilver. He regained his composure and smiled in an attempt to hide his weakness.
"Dang it, and I liked Toad," Vibrant grinned.
"You liked him, but he stinks," Quicksilver laughed.
"Hey man, he is what he is," Vibrant chuckled. He turned his head to Magneto and the Professor. "So where is Summers, he couldn't have lost his fight." The door opened up and Scott walked in with a blonde guy who looked like he was going on vacation to the beach walking behind him. "So he came along to are side after all."
"Scott, what's going on," Charles growled.
"We're just here to listen, that's all," Scott responded.
"Are they listening," the professor responded pointing to the tanks and Scott gasped.
"Let them out," Scott yelled.
"I knew it," Vibrant laughed before coughing again. His powers were still attacking him somehow. He had to stay calm and breathe. "W-wait, let Rogue out, she can absorb my powers for a second to give me some time to breathe before I start seizing again."
"Seizing, what is he talking about," Scott spoke up.
"Wow, you must have it bad bro," the blonde guy responded. "Names Alex." He reached his hand out to shake Vibrant's hand, but Ricky's hand started shaking.
"Don't touch him," Scott yelled as he pulled the guy's hand away. "I don't know what is happening to you Ricky, but stop using your powers.
"I can't," Vibrant yelled. "I learned their were consequences to tapping into my powers too much, but your dumb friends, and my dumb friends forced me to."
"My bad," Quicksilver coughed...
"What did you do to him," Avalanche responded as he looked at Quicksilver.
"Nothing compared to what he and that woman did to me and Sabertooth." Magneto looked over and saw Charles was communicating with Scott's mind and waved him into a tube.
"Stop this," Scott yelled.
"Calm down bro, it's just a time out," the blonde responded.
"A brother," Ricky grinned and Scott growled at him. "Hilarious."
"Let him go," Scott growled.
"I will, but you have to trust me," Magneto smiled and Scott growled before walking off.
"I'll go after him, he needs time," Alex explained. He ran out after Scott and Vibrant grinned as Sabertooth walked in.
"I guess that's that on the winners," Vibrant smiled and then shook. Sabertooth growled at him and then Magneto waved his hand at Sabertooth to back him up.
"Ricky is a part of the new world, nothing personal shall come between you two," Magneto explained and Sabertooth nodded.
"Thank you for finding forgiveness," Vibrant laughed. "Our fight was circumstantial anyway right."
"Right," Sabertooth grunted. "Must have been." Magneto walked off to call Scott and Alex to them and the other just stared at eachother for a second.
"So do we feel nothing for Rogue anymore," Vibrant asked. "She was on our side."
"And then she betrayed us remember," Avalanche replied.
"That was totally Mistique's fault," Vibrant grunted.
"Yep," Blob, Avalanche, and Quicksilver agreed. They turned their heads to see Magneto leading the Summers brothers to a machine.
"Behold, the next step to mutant evolution," Magneto grinned.
"What is it," Scott asked.
"A genetic enhancer. Perhaps you have heard of the legendary gems of Cytorrak? They do exist, once believed to obtain mystical properties, these stones emit a distinctive radiation.
"H-hey, your going to nuke us," Alex responded now having second thoughts.
"I'm going to evolve you," Magneto grinned. "To finish your growth! No more pain Alex, and no more hiding behind that visor Scott. Your powers will be fully realized, giving you complete control."
"What about them," Scott responded looking to his friends. "I want them released."
"Drop it already Scott," Ricky chuckled and then grunted.
"Your pain will go away also Vibrant," Magneto smiled and hope filled Ricky's eyes. "Want them to see what I'm offering though. I won't force you to go through it Scott."
"Why don't you go in," Scott asked.
"I already have," he explained. "But to show what I have, Vibrant can prove his loyalty once more." He looked to Ricky who's eyes never left the machine as the door opened. "I was originally going to show you with Sabertooth, but Vibrant is in need of help." Ricky started walking towards the machine like a zombie as he realized his only hope, the reason he had been carrying on so long was because of this moment.
"Ricky," Scott spoke up.
"Vibrant," Ricky growled. "That is my real name now. Given to me by a human, but one who helped me realize my true potential."
"Do you really have to do this," Scott asked and Ricky's eyes became wet.
"It hurts Cyclops," Ricky explained. Scott looked at him and realized Ricky called him something other than Summers for once. For once his foe looks at him with understanding eyes. "I keep shaking, my body feels like an earthquake waiting to happen. I sense every particle around me with no control."
"Tell him why you want control," Magneto smiled.
"... I feel like my powers are trying to kill me." With that Ricky walked into the machine. When he walked in, he felt like all of the pain just stopped for a second, His body shifted once more, but he didn't feel it and then he could feel everything once more. All the particles in his body, all the particles all over the base. He felt his body vibrate and then stop once more. He could now control himself. Ricky walked over towards the exit and them grinned as he stepped out.
"White hair and muscles, I can live with it," Vibrant laughed. His hands were in his pockets, his cocky smile was bigger than ever and he felt good to be alive. His past no longer haunts him, he no longer cares what happens to anyone he ever met, not even his sister.
"How do you feel Vibrant," Magneto asked.
"Wonderful," Vibrant laughed. He felt stimulated by comparison to his old self. Always smiling for no reason, and now he has a reason to smile. "Guys, you got to try this." He turned his head to the brotherhood members.
"Not just yet, the brothers turn."
Scott starred at Ricky and then back at his brother.
"I wanna try this, but not without you," Alex explained and Scott nodded as they headed to the machine.
"Now for the audience," Magneto grinned as he released the X Men from their stasis.
"Scott don't," Jean yelled. The Professor tried to telepathically warn Scott, but Magneto shut the door on the brothers. Vibrant grinned as he heard the transformation process taking place.
The brothers walked out and Magneto and he both grinned simultaneously. "He is mine now Charles."
"From now on you are Havoc," he said to Alex. He looked at Scott. "Let's see the color of your eyes." Scott removed his glasses revealing his brown eyes.
"Trouble is coming," Sabertooth spoke up.
"Really, lets see who it is," Magneto shouted. He saw a air ship coming their way and waved his hands.
"No metal, boys, take care of them." Scott and Alex moved out and it wasn't long until the airship came crashing into them.
"Should have sent me," Vibrant laughed.
"Your not suppose to feel emotion," Magneto scoffed and Vibrant just grinned again.
"Knock Knock," Mistique spoke up.
"Mistique, you never could take no for an answer." The two mutants began fighting as the X Men started freeing their friends along with Toad. Blob and Avalanche were the first to, to be taken down. Mistique fell in the machine and Magneto freaked out about that.
"No, get out of my enhancer!" He flew in after her and Toad assisted in taking on Wolverine.
"Stop," Vibrant grinned as everyone within his view froze. "Let play a game where I split your particles one at a time until you become nothing. I have more control over them, beyond even just vibrating them. They fly, and bounce, and for solid objects they stay in one place, yet never sit still."
"You have that in common," Rogue responded as grabbed his face from behind him.
"AAAHHHHHhhh," Ricky screamed as his powers and memories went through her. "That was a good one." He grunted before falling to the ground releasing the others to move around as they please. The area started shaking.
"Enough with the Earthquakes," Vibrant grunted at Avalanche.
"Those aren't me, this rock is breaking."
"Let's make like a toad and hop to it," Toad yelled and Vibrants smiled as his friends ran off with the X Men. His eyes widened and he grabbed the ground as he tried to use his powers to hold the place together.
"Ricky, let it go," Rogue yelled.
"I can't," he roared. "I need this place!" He created fireballs and started fighting Rogue who was using the same power. The both of them fell back and grunted as they started vibrating their hands and feet as they kicked and punched at each other. "You have my powers, but I am evolved," he growled and waved his hand freezing her until Storm caught him inside a tornado. He felt himself hit a rock and then plummet to the ground.
"You should have listened to meh," Rogue yelled as she ran off with Storm. He looked over at the Summers brothers who was being left behind by the X Men. Vibrant grunted as he knew the X Men were too good to be true. Leaving their own members behind rather then forcing them out.. wait what was he thinking. He grabbed his head as he felt Magneto's pull on him. He turned his head to see Mistique walk out of the machine as some sort of scaly amazon woman. Ricky grunted once more as he tried again to hold the base together.
"I won't leave here," he grunted. "It finally stopped." Scott and Alex ran by and grabbed Ricky as they dragged him out. "No, I don't want to go, leave me!" They made their way to the X Men air craft, but the port fell apart separating Vibrant from Cyclops and Havoc. He saw the two brother grab eachother's hands and smile at eachother and grunted as he flew off into the distance. He saw a metal ball fly his way and grabbed hold of it sending back by way of earth. He grinned as he remembered he had new mutant powers and started flying himself. Could he control the particles in his own body that much, he was even making his own oxygen in his lungs and keeping his body from falling apart as he flew. Of course all good things come to an end as he felt himself loosing control as he started falling. "N-no," he yelled as his body shifted back to his skinny black long hair self. He felt his body shaking again as he forced himself into a stasis. At least, this one was on purpose, after all. His hand could protect itself when he did stuff like this, so why couldn't he just stasis himself. As he started vibrating his whole body he saw a jungle before falling into it.
He coughed as he stopped vibrating and grinned when he realized he was alive. He looked around at the jungle and grunted as his insides shook, but he punched himself. "No, I have control," he growled. He felt his body relax and his eyes widened... "Th-that was all I needed to do," he yelled. He felt his powers weren't as strong as before, but he had control of them once more. "I-I guess I didn't need evolution." He thought for a second at what he should do, go find his sister... no her parents don't trust him and they shouldn't. Find the Brotherhood... not a chance, they had nothing he wanted anymore. He looked around and laughed to himself. Maybe he will go back to the brotherhood, at least until his powers start acting up again, if they do, then he'll just run back here... where ever here was. "No," he grunted. "I'm lost!"
Author note: Vibrant is lost, and has no Idea where he is, can't wait to see what happens next chapter. Also this was a very long one by comparison to my other chapters, so that's awesome. I guess it's cause I covered two X Men episodes in one, but tried to shorten it, by having Vibrant interject in conversations, so I don't wind up just writing the whole episodes down.
