RPG X Men: The Beginning

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Sil quietly sipped at her drink, energy swiftly reaserting itself.[/i]

Adriana: So...tell me exactly what happened again?

Sil: ....Darwin, you'd better not say anything.

Darwin: Of course.

Sil: ......One of my students, Aimee, was at the pool hall where Craig, Seifer, and the others are playing. In accordance with her usual character, she wrapped Craig around her finger and generally made herself known.

Adriana: Sounds like you and me.

Sil: We're not airheads.

[i]The weather witch mouthed the words, "oh," and looked down at her drink.[/i]

Sil: Anyways, I told Craig who she was, and that she was a mutant phobic...[/COLOR]

[Yoda]

Craig struck the cue ball gently, he needed only to brush the cue ball as the shot was very awkward, nearly a right angle. The 8 ball rolled slowly, always threatening to stop, but then gently rolled into the pocket. Craig let out a sigh of relief, at least with all this mutant crap he hadn't lost his touch. Jack scorned, all three boys were very competitive, and he hated losing as much as anyone. Craig's attention, however, was focused on a conversation between the two men behind the bar.

[B]Bar man:[/B] Well... that damn delivery truck is finally coming. Three days late it is, three days... they'd better give us a discount. It should be coming past any time now.

Craig smirked... he, Seifer and Jack were about to get their hands on some free beer. First, he walked over to Aimee.

[B]Craig:[/B] We gotta take off...

[B]Jack:[/B] Since when?

Craig shot Jack an angry glance, and he shut up, intrigued by what Craig was doing.

[B]Aimee:[/B] Okay... but meet me here at noon tomorrow, there are some things I have to talk to you about.

[B]Craig:[/B] Ugh... fair enough.

Craig turned to go and get Seifer, but he felt an arm grab his. He turned, and found Aimee pull him towards her, and she kissed him. He kissed her back, and, with a smile, turned off, with Jack, to go and get Seifer.

[B]Jack:[/B] Hey, what's goin' on?

[B]Craig:[/B] You'll see...

Craig found Seifer talking with Claire at the bar. He grabbed Seifer's shirt, and turned him about. He went straight to talk into his ear.

[B]Craig:[/B] Get her number or something, we're leaving.

[B]Seifer:[/B] Ugh... okay. I gotta' go Claire.

[B]Claire:[/B] Actually... did Aimee just tell you to meet her here tomorrow?

[B]Craig:[/B] Yeah, why?

[B]Claire:[/B] Well, Seifer, I need you to do the same.

[B]Seifer:[/B] You're the boss.

Craoh grabbed Seifer's arm, and dragged him out of the bar with Jack. When they were outside, he beckoned them into an alley. Seifer had already grown impatient.

[B]Seifer:[/B] Okay Craig, what's this about?

[B]Craig:[/B] Okay... listen up. A beer truck is about to drive by here, delivering to this bar. I say we use our talents to our advantage... in the quest for some free alchohol. You like?

[B]Seifer:[/B] I like.

[B]Craig:[/B] Okay, good. Now, here's the plan. Jack, you bust the tires with your beam... then I'll rip the shutters open, and Seifer, you get in there and out again with your speed, and grab a couple of barrels or something. Jack, you get further down the street, this truck's gona take a while to stop once it's tires go.

Jack nodded, and ran off up the street to await the truck's arrival.

[Pressure]

[color=purple]Adriana:Are you going to do something about this Aimee chick, or, just let it go?

Sil:Let the bastard go, he can rot, I don't care..

[i]Adriana felt for Sil, she really did. Adriana was no stranger to heartbreak. She was also no stranger to betrayal. Adriana drained her glass and stood to get more.[/i]

Adriana:Sil..?

[i]Sil turned her head to acknowledge her name, and she saw the depressed face of Adriana.[/i]

Adriana:Remember how I said that Matt was dead?

Sil:Mmmhm.. too bad, I miss him sometimes..

Adriana:I lied..

Sil:What do you mean?

Adriana:I didn't want everyone to know, especially not Craig, he used to be Matt's best friend.. I thought it would be best if he didn't know..

Sil:What happened Adriana? Why did you come back to the mansion?

Adriana:For a while, everything was fine you know? Matt even popped the question. I was on Cloud Nine, and I never wanted to come back down.

[i]Adriana stopped and stared at the floor. She had returned to the bed but had not touched her wine. Sil looked from Darwin to Silent Nobility and spoke.[/i]

Sil:Continue..

Adriana:Well, we were laying in my bed one night, the candles had nearly burned all the way out, and I was falling fast asleep with my head resting on his naked chest, my heart in rythm with his. I was about to fal all the way asleep when Matt roused me with a delicate kiss on my forehead. I looked up into his eyes and knew instantly that something was wrong. I didn't say anything though. He kissed me hard, and let me fall back asleep. The next morning when I woke, Matt was gone, and so were all of his things. On his pillow was a note, it just said 'Erin'.

Sil:That cheap lying bastard..

[i]Adriana drained her glass again and turned to Sil, her cheeks turning slightly pink. Sil couldn't tell if it was from the wine, or the story.[/i]

Adriana:But.. enough about me, tell me what your plans are for Aimee and Craig..[/color]

[Gohan]

[I]Jack walked up the street adding the girl?s number to his cellular phone. She slipped a piece of paper in his pocket as he kissed her goodbye just before he left. He stood about a hundred metres up the road from Seifer and Craig and looked around, making himself look suspicious, by trying too hard to look innocent. Two strong headlights came around the corner next to jack and he got ready but it was just a bus.

As the light of the bus slowly disappeared down the street, more lights came around the corner. But this time it was the van. Jack pointed his fist towards the front tyre of the van, and to his surprise his energy beam came out very quickly. He quickly aimed at the back tyre and blew that out.

The burning still in his hands, he chased the now out of control van down the street. It skidded towards Seifer and Craig who were standing readily on the sidewalk. Craig stopped the van about five metres away from him, and tore open the back doors. Seifer moved in quickly, grabbing two barrels and Craig lifted four crates of beer cans fro out of the back using his powers.

The boys ran down the street and turned back to see the driver o the van, get out scratching his head. He didn?t have a clue what the hell happened. Craig laughed.[/I]

[B]Craig:[/B] That was easier than I thought it?s be.

[Yoda]

[B]Craig:[/B] Now... lets get up into the hills and drain these babies. I don't wanna' wake up until I have to go back down and speak to Aimee... not that I'll remember.

[B]Seifer:[/B] Bah, something tells me we'll remember.

There seemed to be a sprirtual circle, an unexplainable bond between Seifer and Craig, to which Jack was not involved. He was their friend, but there was a something else between Seifer and Craig, but what... they had not yet discovered.

Craig lifted all the metal crates and barrels, and gently laid them into the back of the boys car. Seifer leapt into the driving seat, Jack in shotgun, and Craig sat on top of the back seat, keeping the barrels in check.

[B]Jack:[/B] D'ya know how to get up into the hills?

[B]Seifer:[/B] Nope...

[B]Craig:[/B] Just drive... we'll get there.

[Raiha]

[cOLOR=royalblue]Sil: I'm not going to do anything. I'm going to let him and her have fun.

Darwin: ....doesn't sound right. Coming from you anyways....

Sil: I didn't say I would let them live.

[i]The two looked at her, slightly confused. Moon Chaser winked and smiled broadly. Her head tilted to one side, and it was obvious she was teasing.....but the slight glint in her eyes wasn't completely honest. She leaned back on the pillows and tasted her wine...rolling it over her tounge. Darwin stood up and stretched.[/i]

Adriana: ....so really. What will you do?

Sil: I don't need to do much. It might not go well if I told Aimee who Craig really was. But should I really bother?

Darwin: You'd start a panic.

Adriana: But it would almost be worth it.

Sil: ....maybe....[/COLOR]

[Yoda]

Craig woke suddenly... it was morning. He lying in the back seat of the car, his head was pounding. With a struggle, he pushed himself to his knees, and checked the clock in the car. It read; 10.30, which wasn't too bad. Craig tried to remember events about last night... he could recall everything upto the point where they drove into the hills. Anything after that was very hazy. Seifer was sleeping in the front seat, his back bent awkwardly over the handbrake. Craig nudged him, and Seifer's eyes opened.

[B]Seifer:[/B] Gugh... what, where are we?

[B]Craig:[/B] I think we're still up on the hill. It's ten-thirty.

[B]Seifer:[/B] You remember we have to meet those girls at noon?

[B]Craig:[/B] Yeah... hey, where's Jack?

Craig looked over the boot of the car, and saw Jack sleeping peacefully on the ground behind the car. Craig leant over the poked him a couple of times, until he showed signs of waking.

[B]Craig:[/B] Come on, we'd better get back.

Craig scrambled over the back seat and got into the driver's seat. Seifer shifted over and sat shotgun, and Jack clambered into the back of the car, picking an emtpy barrel out of the footspace and tossing it from the car.

[B]Seifer:[/B] How do we get back?

[B]Craig:[/B] Well, I guess we just follow the thick tyre marks you made last night.

Craig started the ignition, and turned the car around. He began driving back towards town. His head was pounding, so he let go of the steering wheel to hold his head. Instantly, the car swerved towards the left, and Craig instintively turned the wheel using his ability, andguided it back on track.

They came to the mansion with no trouble at all, and pulled up quietly outside the garage. Craig got out, and noticed extensive damage to the front of the car. They were going to have to pay for that... Craig shrugged it off, and walked upto the doors of the mansion. He turned the handle, and walked inside.

They walked into the lounge, no-one appeared to be there. The television was on... the news, and there was a report on there that affected the three boys.

[B]Reporter:[/B] I am at the scene where last night half the contents of this van were stolen from under the drivers nose... by a mysterious force that not even CCTv cameras could pick up on. This camera, position at the corner of "Popeye's Bar" filmed two beams of energy strike the wheels of the car... and at it stopped, amazingly abruptly I might add, and back doors of the van were seemingly ripped from their hinges, as if by a super magnet. Then, if you focus closely, you can see a whisp of wind move quickly towards the van, and suddenly two beer barrels disappear. Some claim it was polterguists, and scientists are having great difficulty in explaining this phenominon.

[B]???:[/B] I'll bet I can explain it.

The three boys turned to see Proffesor Xavier before them. A twinge of fear ran through each of the boys... as Xavier looked on them with despair.

[B]Xavier:[/B] How could you boys? Not only did you commit a foolish, not to mention illegal act, but you almost compromised your abilities.

[B]Jack:[/B] Sorry Proffesor, we didn't think...

[B]Xavier:[/B] I know you didn't... I can read your minds. You will have to be punished severly for this.

[B]Seifer:[/B] No we won't...

Xavier was clearly stunned by this...

[B]Xavier:[/B] I'm sorry?

[B]Craig:[/B] You heard him... you're not punishing us. We've been here only a week, and already we're sick of your crap.

[B]Xavier:[/B] I sense that you wish to leave... but not you Jack?

[B]Seifer:[/B] He can do what he wants... but we, me and Craig, we don't need you. We're going out, we'll be back for out things later.

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]As soon as the doors opened she felt them. Sil rose to her feet and slipped downstairs, quickly followed by the other two. Thnks to training and skill, they went unoticed.....by the younger men.

Swinging from the banister, Moon Chaser landed silently next to the professer.[/i]

Xavier: *sigh* ......

Sil: Teenage rebellion?

Adrianna: Personified.

[i]The two girls were very quiet......this had happened before. But every time, the outcome was different.[/i]

Sil: Do you want me to try talking to them?

Xavier: It might not have any effect.

Adrianna: It won't hurt to try![/COLOR]

[Guest QuickSilver]

Seifer and Craig slowly walked out of the mansion, slamming the front door behind them.

[B]Seifer:[/b] We dont need them lot. They were just weighing us down. We can do much better on our own.

[B]Craig:[/B] Yeah, together we will be unstoppable.

[B]Seifer:[/b] But first we will have to meet those two chicks from last nite.

[B]Craig:[/b] Yeah, i wonder what they had to tell us.

[B]Seifer:[/b] Hell if i know, the sooner we get out of this joint the better.

[Pressure]

[color=purple][i]This was making Adriana sick. She couldn't stand it. She was sick of their testosterone inflated egos. She had had enough.

Adriana stormed out of the mansion. She grabbed them both my their shoulders, and wheeled them around. Adriana glared at them both, and punched Craig in the nose. With the help of her weather abilities, two strong winds wrapped around their bodies, and lifted them high into the sky. Struggle as they both might, Adriana did not let them down. Craig and Seifer were shouting rude and nasty things down at her. They were kicking and whining like children, who suddenly went into spasms and fell silent. Adriana lowered them to the ground. She picked up Seifer's body, and her accomplise, Sil, picked up Craig's. The two women carried them into the mansion and locked them into seperate, mutant-proof rooms.[/i]

Adriana:Damn they were getting on my nerves.. hey where did Sil go?

Xavier:I believe she is going to pay the two ladies a visit..

[i]Adriana looked through the glass in the door down at the sleeping bodies of the two boys. Then she turned to Xavier, her confidence gone.[/i]

Adriana:Tell me I did that for their own good..

Xavier:You did the best you could.. that is all that matters..[/color]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]When Craig woke up, the first thing he saw was a bare hand half an inch from his face. As his gaze focused, he found himself staring into the huge silver eyes of Sil Moon Chaser. She gritted her teeth and gave him a dagnerous look.[/i]

Sil: Move and I'll suck your life out.....face first.

Craig: The hell is this....?

Sil: Do you have any idea how much you've hurt us? The professor just about saved your sorry åss and how do you repay him?

[i]He opened his mouth, but the blazing light in her eyes told him to shut up.[/i]

Sil: You break the law, damage property that is not yours, put the whole human population up at arms, and gererally act like whinning kids. You make us sick. Me, Adrianna, and the professor.

[i]Rant finished...for now, she gloved her hand and crossed her arms.[/i]

Sil: Do you have anything else to say in your defense? Not that you ever had one...[/COLOR]

[Yoda]

That's it... I've had enough. This has gone too far.

1) Pressure, what are you playing at? Firstly, the abilities of Seifer are super speed, and very sensitive hearing... there is no way that, without his wishes that you would be able to touch him. Also, Craig, like Magneto, has the ability to make electromagnetic shields which make allow him to block any force that comes his way... a little wind wouldn't stop him, you'd just get him angry and end up lying underneath a car. That is not biased, it is general fact about the strength of Magneto's power.

2) This whole Aimee thing does actually have a good relevenace to the plot, so if yourself and Raiha would stop trying to hinder me at every turn then maybe we could get somewhere.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[B]Craig:[/B] I don't need a defense. I don't care about you, or the Proffesor... or any other turd in this place. Never did I agree to be anyone's puppet, and yet here I am, finding myself taking orders from anyone at anytime, not to mention having to put up with your self righteous bullshít. I was better off with my Uncle. Now, step aside... while you can still walk.

[B]Sil:[/B] Oh, and what exactly are you going to do if I don't?

Sil felt the slightest of tugs on her belt, but by the time she could reach down, her blade had been removed from it's sheath, and was floating inches infront of her face. Sil slowly removed her glove from one hand.

[B]Craig:[/B] I wouldn't...

The blade, suddenly and swiftly, pressed against Sil's neck, enough for her to feel it's cold touch, but not pressed hard enough to break the skin. Sil was still, Craig was almost freakily calm, but anyone could see that inside he was boiling with anger. Without removing the blade from her neck, Craig moved towards the door, keeping his eyes, which were now glowing an eerie yellow, fixed upon Sil's. He opened the door, walked outside, and shut the door, and the blade at Sil's neck fell to the floor.

Craig was pleased to see Seifer emerge from the room next to him a few seconds later. Both angry, they marched, in step, towards the exit once again. As expected, Adrianna was waiting for them.

[B]Adrianna:[/B] When will you lear--

Adrianna was cut off, as she was struck in the chest by Seifer. She hasn't even seen him move, but he had rushed forward, and slammed into her with his shoulder as he had passed. He skidded, and stopped only when he hit the wall infront of him. Adrianna was clearly winded badly.

[B]Seifer:[/B] Don't get in our way again.

They made their way once more upto the front entrance to the mansion. They opened the door, and walked outside. Craig flung his arm outwards, and the door to the garages ripped clean off. Seifer sped inside, and emerged a matter of seconds later, drving one of the cars. He stopped next to Craig, and Craig opened the passenger door. He looked up, and saw Sil looking down from her window at them. Craig waited for a moment, and turned from the door, daring her to attack.

She didn't move, and, with a scowl, Craig got into the car and slammed the door. The car sped out of the mansion.

[B]Seifer:[/B] I thought they said we were free to leave at any time?

[B]Craig:[/B] Xavier did... but the girls seem to think they can move matters into their own hands whenever it suits them. The next time we meet them, Seifer my friend, I'm sure it will be on far more hostile grounds. And then, we will be prepared to take them all on...

Seifer grinned, his friends quiet confidence and realism was inspiring. Neither boy knew exactly what the future held for them, but both were fairly certain that it would lead them back more towards the lives of crime and violence that they had once led. That was the life that they both wanted, the life that they could survive in.

[Guest QuickSilver]

The Two of them drove down the path towards the front gates. They both looked back and gave evil glares followed by a slight grin towards their Ex-team mates. In a slight way Seifer felt sorry for Jack having to face the punishment, but he laughed it off when he thought about how stpid he was for staying there. Once the gates opened, Seifer swiftly opened the glove department and pulled out a pair of sun glasses and placed the on his face, leaned back and drove towards the town.

[b]Craig:[/b] Why don't we see whats on the radio.

Seifer grinned as Criag tried adjusting the knobs to get a signal for a station. After, a few seconds some country tune come on. The tune was relaxing and was quickly followed by the lyrics [i]"On the road again, just can't wait to get on the road again"[/i] Seifer quickly turned of the song, it was too ironic for his liking.

[b]Seifer:[/b] Lets just have a quiet journey.

With that, Seifer slammed his foot on acceleration, the wind was blowing in their faces and they quickly arrived at the bar where they were last nite. The two hopped out of the car and struted into the bar to meet the girls, who should be inside.

[Yoda]

Craig and Seifer walked into the bar, which was completely emtpy, apart from Aimee and Claire, who were sitting at opposite sides of the club. Craig shrugged, deciding that he had better just get it over with, and strolled over to Aimee. He sat next to her, and she looked quietly into his eyes.

[B]Aimee:[/B] Craig... I know what you are.

[B]Craig:[/B] Come again?

[B]Aimee:[/B] I know... about your gift.

Craig was very suspicious... he wondered if she was talking about him being a mutant, or about something else. He decided it was best to continue the charade for the time being.

[B]Craig:[/B] Ugh... gift?

[B]Aimee:[/B] That your a mutant...

Craig was worried, his secret was out. Never the less, he saw nothing but warmth and caring in Aimee's eyes... which confused him.

[B]Craig:[/B] How... how do you know?

[B]Aimee:[/B] I know because... I am a mutant as well.

Craig didn't really know how to take the news. Firstly, she had exposed his secret, but then confided one equally as powerful in him. Craig was un-easy, but chose to push the situation.

[B]Aimee:[/B] A man... he came to me, he told me about how he wanted to help me control me power... and I want you to come with me.

[B]Craig:[/B] And you trusted this guy? Who is he?

[B]Aimee:[/B] His name is Magneto.

That name struck Craig like the chime of a bell. Magneto, he was the reason Craig ended up in that mansion in the first place. He could still remember the pain of having the crobar driven through his chest.

[B]Craig:[/B] Aimee... you shouldn't trust that man...

[B]Aimee:[/B] No Craig... you've got it all wrong. He explained what happened between you and him, and that it was all a big misunderstanding. He wants to meet you again... to apologise, and to explain a few things. Please Craig, come with me.

Craig was very anxious... and yet he stared into Aimee's eyes, and saw no deceit. This girl was special, he could see that now. He smiled.

[B]Craig:[/B] Okay... you win.

Aimee smiled, and stood up, grabbing his hand to beckon him to rise. He did, and she led him out of the back door. There, waiting for them, was a smooth metal sphere. I right-angular cut was in the top, and Craig didn't exactly know how to take this. But Aimee walked calmly, leading him forward, and climbed into the metal sphere. She smiled again once she was inside, and Craig leapt in after her.

When they were both safely inside, the top of the metal sphere seemed to form together, closing the hole in the top. Craig found it obvious that Magneto was controlling this... but he felt calm. He knew what Seifer had already left, or would be close behind... and he felt confident that, with Seifer... they could take on anyone, even Magneto. He took Aimee in his arms, and they sat in silence, as the sphere lifted into the air, and took them off to an unknown destination.

[Guest QuickSilver]

Seifer and Claire walked out of the back of the bar not long after Craig had left with Aimee. There was still one pod left and Seifer stood still looking at it. Claire had already explained taht she two was a mutant inside, she also explained the whole situation.

[b]Seifer:[/b] So i am guessing you already know of my powers then?

[b]Claire:[/b] Yeah, you can move at very fast speeds.

Seifer nodded in agreement with what she had just said. He was still very puzzled with the situation, and was only going on this trip out of curiousity.

[b]Seifer:[/b] So what is your power anyway?

Claire grinned, she extended her arm out towards Seifer and had the palm of her hand facing the air. A ball of fire appeared out of nowhere then vanished. She the stood back and went into a position as if to power herself up. Flames consumed her body and no features were reconisable to Seifer. She then quickly, changed back and walked to the metal pod. Seifer was shocked yet amazed at the smae time.

[b]Seifer:[/b] Cool! Who his Magneto and whats so good about him.

[b]Claire:[/b] He his a stronger version of Craig. All your questions will be answered when we get there.

She lowered herself in to the pod and Seifer quickly followed. The slit closed and the pod started to hover, then it flew off into the air. Seifer looked around, he was puzzled how the pod was moving, when there was no signs of any controls within the pod. Then he remembered that Claire had said that Magneto is a stronger version of Craig.

[Gohan]

[I]Jack walked slowly back to his room as he heard the car roar out of the mansion grounds. He now had a big hole of regret inside him. He wished that he went with the boys. But he decided that it was best not to because Seifer and Craig had something between them which Jack was missing out on.

He walked slowly back up the two flights of stairs and along the many corridors until he got to his room. He sat on the edge of the bed and then just fell back with his arms outstretched. What was the big deal anyway? They weren?t seen, no one knows what happened so what harm could it do?

He could feel the professor searching inside his head and reading what he was thinking.[/I]

[B]Jack*thinks*:[/B] Can i help you finding any thing in there professor?

[B]Xavier *telepathically*:[/B] Jack, come to my office immediately and we will discuss your punishment."

[I]He really couldn?t be bothered right now.[/I]

[B]Jack *thinks*:[/B]Look professor I?ve had a rough night, I just want to get into the bath right now and I?ll come to your office later.

[I]He went to the fridge and pulled out a bottle of Coke then went and sat in a chair by his window and picked up his personal CD player and slipped in a Metallica disk. He put his head back and fell asleep in the chair. After about an hour he woke up.[/I]

[B]Jack:[/B] I've been to sleep and i'm still tired. What the hell did we do last night and what time did we get to sleep. Hang on a second, how the hell did i end u asleep on the floor outside the car?! And why the hell am i talkin to myself

[I]He walked into the bathroom and began to run the bath, and added some foam. When it was full he got in and but his head back once again. He cold feel his eyes gettin heavier and before he knew it, he fell asleep.[/I]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]She smiled quietly and rubbed her throat.....perhaps it was time to make her own. Sil slipped away into the Japanese gardens, away from the influence of Adrianna, Jack, Xavier...or even Darwin.

With calm easy movements, she came around the koi pond, and sat down on a bench. The shrine nearby had already contained the jizo statues she had placed there for her family, and she knew it was time to pray once more.

She stepped inside and knelt in front of it, lighting the incense and pressing her head to the floor.[/i]

Sil: Guide me please, I am now in this deeper than i wished. They have thrown themselves to the wind. What now should I do?

[i]Her lips moved silently for many minutes...then she stood up. She stepped outside and rang the bell. Hands clapped together twice.[/i]

Sil: I wish they would come back.[/COLOR]

[Yoda]

Craig looked about the metal sphere... he wondered if... is he used his powers, if he could affect the sphere in any way. He still remembered the horrible strength and control that Magneto had over his power, how, with very little effort he had completely over powered Craig. Craig guessed much of that was down to age and practice, if their powers were exactly the same as Xavier had said.

Craig's mind wandered, and suddenly he realised that Aimee hadn't told him what her abilities were. He decided to ask.

[B]Craig:[/B] So... what can you do?

[B]Aimee:[/B] You mean my power?

[B]Craig:[/B] Yeah.

[B]Aimee:[/B] I can create psionic waves.

[B]Craig:[/B] So, what can you do with these waves?

[B]Aimee:[/B] Well, I can expel them from my hands, and it strikes with great force... and I can also use it to fly. I also have limited ESP ability.

[B]Craig:[/B] Sounds good. I got this electromagnetic thing goin' on... I wasn't really payin' attention when Xavier explained to me what it was exactly.

[B]Aimee:[/B] Don't worry, Magneto told me what you can do. He explained how you had a limited version of his powers... and he wants to help you develop them.

[B]Craig:[/B] I guess I'd better let him this time... I don't want another greeting wth that crobar again.

Aimee laughed lightly, Craig seemed to be able to take everything in his stride with very little emotion... he was even able to joke about a time when he had been near death.

[B]Craig:[/B] So... I guess Seifer and Claire are coming aswell?

[B]Aimee:[/B] Uhuh... we left before they did, but they're not far behind.

[B]Craig:[/B] Yeah... and where are we going?

[B]Aimee:[/B] You'll see...

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]She sighed, then walked out of her sanctum and reviewed what she knew to be true.

So far, Aimee had never blatantly spoken a word against mutants, but she was not completely normal. The way she had moved belied something else about her that could not be placed......it was something in her stance, or the balance she had so easily mastered. If she was a mutant, and had been pretending this whole time.....[/i]

Sil: God damn it.

Adrianna: What?

Sil: We should've seen that coming.

Adrianna: The rush of testosterone?

Sil: ...that too. Men just make me sick sometimes.

[i]The two of them sat in silence, watching the fish move through the water. Effortlessly....like their leaving.[/i][/COLOR]

[Andrew]

[I]Now hanging upside down from a bar attached to the ceiling of his room Andrew was thinking. He had his left arm across his chest and his right hand holding his chin. He had a puzzled look on his face.[/I]

[B]Andrew:[/B] Fascinating! (You knew it was coming didn?t you?)

[I]He looked at himself in the mirror once more. He flexed his right bicep and then grinned slightly. Although he was now covered with fur, on the up side he was amazingly strong and agile now, according to the Professor. He jumped into the air performing a triple backward somersault. He then smirked and leapt out his open window and pounded the floor. He left a large crater as before. He began to run amazingly fast, of course nowhere near as fast as Seifer but compared to everyone else. He suddenly skidded to a halt. He looked around and then grinned with the biggest smile that touch both ears.[/I]

[B]Andrew:[/B] I think I?m going to like this...

[I]Also the professor had given him a hologram machine that looked like a watch and even told the time. It would give the appearance that he was a regular human, with slightly longer arms than usual. He pressed the button on the watch on his right wrist and suddenly he once again looked like his old self only with much bigger muscles, longer arms and much taller. Of course all he was wearing at the time were the boxer shorts that had remained on him after his transformation so he was a bit embarrassed. He covered up his ?Manhood? and walked back towards the mansion.[/I]

Seifer looked into the blue eyes of Claire, even though he had only known her for one day, he knew that he could trust her with this whole situation. The pod suddenly stopped causing Seifer to jerk forward a bit. Then the pod fell down and landed softly. The hatch at the top, slowly opened, and Seifer stepped out shortly followed by Claire. He looked around the room. The room was fairly big, the roof which they had enetered this place by, was closing, the light of the day was fading with it. There was a few other pods in the room and a door at the front. Seifer knew now that there was going to be more than five of them there, a few questions popped into his mind [i]"who where these other people? were they mutants just like him? and did one of the those pods belong to craig?"[/i] but what he did know was that all those questions will be answered when he entere the door.

Craig had already landed, and now he walked with Aimee through a maze of corridors. The air in this place was exceptionally thin... he couldn't place why just yet. Never the less, Aimee didn't seem bothered by it, so Craig shrugged it off and continued walking by her. She led him to a hatchway, and she pressed her hand to a scanner by it's side. There was a bleep, and then a hiss as the door opened, and Aimee led Craig through to the next room.

The air in here was much thicker, which Craig welcomed. It was a large room, constructed almost entirely of some form of metal, which Craig didn't find surprising. He could already feel Magneto's presence inside the room, through he couldn't see him yet.

[B]Magneto:[/B] Welcome back Aimee. I'm glad to see you've brought a friend.

Suddenly, the same large, masked figure that Craig remembered all too clearly stepped into the light. Craig's urge to rush over and pummel him into a pulp was almost overwhelming, but he managed to resist, for the time being. He wanted to hear what Magneto had to propose to him. There were other figure in the room, Craig's attention was drawn to them for a moment.

[B]Magneto:[/B] Ah, allow me to introduce the others. The large hairy one is called Sabretooth. Next to him is Collosus. Then Piro, Blob, Toad and Avalanche.

[B]Craig:[/B] Nice names...

The clear sarcasm in Craig's tone prompted a few glares from the men, but Craig didn't care. Craig watched as the second one... Collosus, as he was called, stepped forward and tensed his arms. 4 small metal circles formed on his knuckles, and it spread in plates over his entire body. Within seconds his entire body was covered in adamantium.

[B]Craig:[/B] Cool.

Craig had to admit, that Collosus had one hell of a trick up his sleeve. To bad he was metal... so against Magneto, or even Craig he was basically useless. When Craig looked at Sabretooth, he was reminded of Andrew... one of the few people in that house that Craig considered his friend. He wondered how Andrew was doing, he hadn't seen him since that occasion in the danger room.

[B]Magneto:[/B] Craig, let me take this oppurtunity to apologise for that mishap a few weeks ago. I hope you will bear no grudge against me for that lapse of judgement.

Craig remained silent for the moment, not exactly sure how to take this apology. He was about to say something, but the hatch behind him hissed open again, and Claire walked in with Seifer.

[B]Magneto:[/B] Ah... siblings joined together again, after being parted for so long.

[B]Craig:[/B] Huh?

[B]Magneto:[/B] Now that you are both here... let me explain the situation. I believe that a war is about to brew between our kind... and the humans. Charles Xavier refuses to accept this, but he is an idealist. I, am a realist. The humans will never accept us, and so I am gathering together the best mutants possible, to help me with my cause. Craig, Seifer, I welcome you to sanctuary... otherwise known as Asteriod M!

[B]Seifer:[/B] Oh great... we're on an asteroid.

[B]Magneto:[/B] Yes Seifer, and here your powers can be fully realised! Yours, and your brothers'.

[B]Craig:[/B] Brother?

[B]Magneto:[/B] It's time for me to come clean with you boys. Seifer, you know that the parents you lived with are foster parents. Craig, I am afraid that your parents are also not your blood guardians. You see... you two, are twins.

Craig and Seifer looked at each other with total disbelief... but at that moment, it clocked, and made sense to both of them. They looked nothing alike, but they had always sensed an unexplainable connection between them... a bond, formed in a time they couldn't comprehend.

[B]Magneto:[/B] You were split up because your mother died giving birth... and your father was considered to dangerous to take care of you. I have never forgiven them for keeping you away from me.

[B]Craig:[/B] I'm sorry... what are you saying?

[B]Magneto:[/B] Boys... I am saying that... your father, is me.

[Guest QuickSilver]

Seifer was puzzled by all of this. This was the first time he has ever seen or heard of Magneto and he his telling him that he is,his father. for some reason, Seifer failed to believe this, he knew that the people who brought him up were not his parents but how could he possible be this guys son.

[B]Magneto:[/b] Still a bit troubled about beliving Seifer?

[b]Seifer:[/b] Yeah

Magento took off his helmet, he had the same colour hair as Seifer but he still didnt believe, People's hair go grey when then they get old. Magneto looked at the expression on Seifer's face which cleary showed he still did not believe. Magneto took off his armour, and there was a scar on his left arm, the same scar that was on Seifer's left arm. Magneto grinned, he knew that Seifer was now convinced that they were father and son.

[b]Seifer:[/b] So what have you got planned for us.....father?

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue]Adriana: Let's go inside.

Sil: ...of course.

[i]Like silent wraiths, the two rose into the air....and floated towards the mansion. Easily, like breathing. In a few moments, they were standing on the roof again, looking out at the rising moon. Full moon. A dog moon.[/i]

Sil: Bad.....

Adriana: We can handle it.

Sil: Do you see that?

Adriana: It's an asteroid. Look at it's positioning.

Sil: Are you sure?

[i]The two knew what it was, but it was too much to believe. Sil sank down to her knees and relaxed....out of her hands.[/i][/COLOR]

Craig didn't think anyone on the asteroid right now had known that the boys were Magneto's sons. Aimee was clearly shocked, and the goons over on the far wall seemed surprised also. Craig was astonished... but Seifer seemed to have absorbed the information. It made sense though... Craig and Seifer both had very intense powers, it made sense that they would have to be the children of someone powerful. The fact that Craig's power was exactly the same as Magneto's was even more convenient.

[B]Magneto:[/B] Boys... I have wanted nothing more than to be a father to you both ever since you were born. I have watched in joy as you grew, and when you found your powers... I was especially thrilled. Today, I wish only for a chance to try and get forgiveness... and to be a father to you once again. My sons, how would you like the opportunity to realise your full potentials?

[B]Seifer:[/B] What do you mean?

[B]Magneto:[/B] I mean... how, today, would you like the chance to gain absolute control of your power? I can make it so my sons.
