Chapter 7

Beast lunged forward, his sharp nails poised to cut Havok, but Havok rolled out of the way, narrowly avoiding the slash. Forge fired blasts at the other students, who scrambled for cover. Rockslide shielded his friends, taking the brunt of the attacks with his rocky exterior.

Psyclock seized the opportunity, swinging her katana at Forge. He dodged just in time, retaliating with a laser blast to her chest. The shot stunned her, leaving her momentarily disoriented.

Havok leaped into action, aiming a punch at Forge's face. However, the impact caused him to wince in pain. "OW! Son of a—! Your bones are hard!" Havok yelled, clutching his throbbing hand.

Determined, Havok charged up his chest beam, but Forge's quick reflexes saved him. The beam scorched the wall instead, while Forge's counterattack hit Havok, stunning him with a direct shot.

Seeing their chance, the other X-Men sprang into action. Rockslide grabbed Beast mid-leap and slammed him into the ground. "GO! You guys handle Forge! I've got him!" Rockslide commanded, his voice a rumble of determination.

Bobby and Roberto nodded, turning their attention to Forge. Beast, regaining his footing, kicked Rockslide in the face. The rock mutant momentarily lost his grip but quickly recovered, retaliating with a powerful punch that sent Beast crashing into a wall, leaving a noticeable crack.

As Beast staggered to his feet, Rockslide pummeled him with a series of hard hits. One particularly forceful punch broke a piece off Beast, revealing a metallic structure underneath. "WHAT THE—!?" Rockslide exclaimed, recoiling in shock.

"GUYS! They're robots! Don't hold back!" Rockslide shouted, his voice echoing in the chaos.

Sunspot reacted quickly, unleashing his solar beams on Forge. The intense heat melted part of Forge's chest, exposing the robotic skeleton beneath. Psyclock, regaining her composure, swung her katana with precision, severing Forge's head. Simultaneously, Rockslide delivered one final, crushing punch that knocked Beast's head off, revealing more robot parts.

Iceman helped Havok to his feet, both staring in disbelief as oil and mechanical parts spilled from the fallen robots. "What is going on!? Why are they robots!? Were they switched out?" Iceman asked, his voice laced with confusion and frustration.

"It's a mystery to me too," Psyclock replied, frustration evident in her tone. "I came in to report you idiots of your partying, and they just started attacking me."

"Wow! Thanks, bitch! You're REAL helpful!" Iceman retorted, his anger palpable.

"Calm down. We need to think this through," Havok interjected, trying to defuse the situation and regain control.

"Maybe. We should go to the professor, he might know what to do." Sunspot suggests.

"Guess we have no other option. Psyclock you can stick with us, but you better not rat us out. Cause who knows what other dangers their are out their." Havok says.

Psyclock groans but accepts the offer anyways to join them.

The team head out of the lab and try to find some answers, with Profesor Xavier's office being an obvious go to spot.

Just as they arrive they see the Profesor and Cyclopes talking to each other.

"Professor! Cyclopes! Oh thank God! You see we where training in the Danger Room, but then it tried to kill us! Then Forge and Beast attempted to kill us as well because they where robots!" Iceman yells, catching his breath when he is done.

"That's very strange." Xavier replies.

"I know right. We need to figure this out and protect the other student." Psyclock says

"No. Strange how they where not able to kill you all first." Cyclopes says holding his hand to his visor.

"No. not you two..." Havok realizes.

"This will be fun." Cyclopes remarks as he blasts his optic beams at Havok, with the younger mutant rolling out of the way.

Then Havok rushes at Cyclopes, tackles him as they bust through a window, falling and landing into an open hall of the school.

Meanwhile Professor X miraculously stands up, and runs at the mutants, Iceman and Sunspot use their powers to blast solar and ice at the older mutant.

However Xavier jumps and pulls off a front flip, dodging the blasts and lands in between them, spin kicking both of them and knocking them onto the ground.

Psyclock pulls out her katana and swings at him, attempting the slice him up.

The professor's dodges are quick and fluent, he even deflects the blade away from him with just two fingers.

Rockslide rushes over and attempts to hit him but he just backflips over and kicks him in the back of the head.

But just as he does so, Iceman quickly freezes his legs, keeping him in place, giving Sunspot a chance to blast his solar energy at X and melt a bit of his chest off, conforming it's a robot.

Psyclock then runs over cutting the robot as his top half falls off the body with black oil fallowing, with the fake Professor glitching and shutting off.

Back with Havok and Cyclopes the two throw hands with each other, blocking and dodging the attacks, eventually Havok blasts his chest beam with Cyclopes returning as they beam struggle to overpower the other.

Havok however pushes over and overpowers them and melts off all of Cyclope's leaving a mechanical mess.

"I'm sorry...But you are not my brother." Alex says as he runs over to his friends and Psyclock.

"I don't get are their so many robot fakes of X Men?" Sunspot asks.

"Do you all really want to know?" A voice over in a laptop asks.

"Huh? Who's their?" Havok asks as he slowly approaches it.

"Oh my name...is Arcade!" He says flamboyant.

Arcade wears a white suit and bright yellow and red bow tie, he also has slick red hair.

"Wait. Arcade? I heard about you, you are a villain who puts heroes through deadly games is that right?" Psyclock asks.

"Oh my. You are very observant. You make me feel flattered." Arcade says.

"Where are the other X Men? What have you done with them!?" Havok demands.

"Oh ho. I done nothing with them. It's you all that should be worried about. For you are in my world now. My Murderworld! HAHAHAHAHA!" Arcade laughs manically from the laptop.

Things are looking Grimm for our X Men, will they survive this Murderworld? Or will they die to Arcade's hands?
