At Maria Essex's Lab

Maria: Listen, I told you already, I am in no way related to this!

Angel: Yeah, and we believe you because...?

Maria: The entire city's been thinking I have something to do with this ever since they found out the Evolutionists are using Essex particles. I am studying animals for god's sake! I haven't touched a human! I had no idea this had lethal properties, nor did I use these properties!

Pietro: You want to prove that you're innocent? Help us stop this.

Maria sat down and sighed.

Maria: I don't know how. I can't even get close to the Evolutionists.

Suddenly Hikari entered the room in panic.

Hikari: You have to watch this! Turn on the TV!

Lorna: What channel?

Hikari: It's on all of them!

The TV in the room was turned on.

It was another one of the Evolutionists' transmissions.

The screen was filled with images of Essex Particles being delivered to countries all over the world.

"We are everywhere."

"Every day, every hour, every second, we deliver more and more ammo for our operations."

"So far you only saw one group of us. The others are about to become international."

Suddenly, there was a recording of 5 more blasts, in 5 different places.

There was one in a city in Egypt, one in Israel, one in Brazil, one in Britain and one in Australia.

"Xavier. Lensherr. We are coming for you. Do not worry, our brothers. We shall show you that mankind should perish in the very sight of our kind. And if you do not embrace the truth, you will die."

"Maria Essex, I know you are watching. Do not panic. We need 9 crates filled with syringes and everything you have that is related to the Essex Particles. Your family would be proud of this day."

The TV returned to normal.

The group tried to continue with what they were doing, but they couldn't stop thinking of the transmission.

Britain, In One of the Many Hellfire Clubs, a Few Minutes Before the Transmission

Rich men and women were drinking and celebrating, dancing, and what not.

They were all laughing.

Soon, gas leaked into a few rooms.

When one room was filled with gas, the gas became a female mutant.

She opened the door of all of the rooms and exploded, spreading gas everywhere.

More Gas continued to leak into the club until it was filled with it.

After a few minutes, all of the humans in the club died and their corpses were spread everywhere.

There were 3 new mutants in the club:

Emma Frost - The White Queen. Naked. Unconscious next to her lover, Sebastian Shaw.

Sebastian Shaw - Black King. Same as Emma Frost.

St. John Allerdyce - Black Rook. Unconscious next to a gothic novel he started writing.

Mortimer jumped into the room, inhaling some of the gas.

Parts of the gas re-meterialized into the female mutant from before.

Female Mutant: "How many times did I tell you not to inhale any green gas unless you see me in a human form?! Please exhale what you just inhaled. I'm pretty sure you inhaled my arm."

Mortimer did as she told him, and her arm returned within seconds.

Mortimer: "S-Sorry, Laura."

Laura: "Never mind. Where's Nathaniel?"

Mortimer: "He's doing another recording."

Laura: "Why didn't we blow up this place? It's a dump."

Nathaniel enetred the room, pleased with himself.

Nathaniel: "I used to be a memeber of this club. This place is far too important to be destroyed. Oh, and Laura, please bring our new brothers and sister to safety."

Mortimer: "What will I do, father?"

Nathaniel: "You will go with Laura and train the new mutants once they wake up. And please, get me my tuxedo. We are having a funeral for Mike in an hour. We are not doing an open casket this time. The Summers boys destroyed his body."

After Laura and Mortimer left the room, Nathaniel removed a portrait on the wall, and revealed a lock that can only be opened by an Hellfire Club security card with clearance 9.

He tool 3 cards from the corpses he stood on and used them to open a passage to a secret chamber.

In it, he found blueprints for projects that the Hellfire Club planned to create, fund, continue, or claim.

Among them, there was a mutant detection machine, called Cerebra and mutant hunting cyborgs, the Prime Sentinels.

He took everything he could.

During Mike's Funeral, Close to Seattle

The X-Men were out with the younger mutants, all trying to cope with the things that happened.

Most of them were eating pizza, drinking coffee, or talking to each other.

Maria tried to relax, but couldn't.

Angel: "What happened?"

Maria: "What happened? That...That man knows who I am! He knows my name!"

Angel: "So?"

Maria: "So?! You have no idea how scary that is! I bet you never once feared for your life."

Angel: "When Xavier found me, I was about to jump off a bridge, to gain momentum and fly straight into a sharp rock. My parents just discovered I was a mutant. People were bullying me everywhere. If it wasn't for him, Moira and Erik, I would have died."

Maria: "Moira?"

Angel: "Moira. She was Xavier's wife and an old friend of Erik and Xavier. She eventually died in a mutant uprising, as she was a human."

Maria: "I guess Charles doesn't wanna talk about her. What's with the others?"

Angel: "Piotr? He was meant to be executed. Luckily he manifested right in time, and no one could have killed him thanks to that Iron Skin.

Jean? She was a perfect teenager, la la la, until she started reading the minds of everyone around her. It drove her mad and she eventually came to Xavier herself.

Alex and Scott? Sole survivors of the Summers family. You probably heard about their plane crashing when they were on a vactation, and how the children survived. 3 years later, They developed powers.

Hank? Brilliant man. He's with us pretty recently. He was in college, in a speech, and then he began growing blue hairs from the stress. He was too nervous and shy to talk to anyone in his first days, and Jean read his mind all the time. She fell in love with him somehow. I think he thought about her a lot.

Pietro? Once he revealed to his adopting parents that he was bisexual, he didn't stay to hear their answer. He just ran faster than a human was ever capable of and eventually became what you see today. The guy wasn't always comm and relaxed. And yes, he also hates Erik.

Bobby, the ice guy I told you about? His parents sent him to Xavier so that he'll be cured. Until this very day, they believe he's an ordinary human now.

Lorna? She lived with Erik for 5 years, and then he left her. She grew up somewhere else. She never talks about this, and the things she can do with metal are scary enough for me to not try and dig information on it.

Ororo was part of a creepy expriement. She says she met a god. And his wife And their butler.

Kitty? Jewish girl living in a pretty racist town. When her powers manifested, she brought her parents to safety, and after hearing speeches about how God hates mutants, she started questioning her religious identity.

Hikari? She was born in a war. Her mother was about to die while giving birth, but Hikari litearly manifested inside her mother's womb. She eventually wandered the world, and found Xavier.

Edward? Really now, he's not special. Just a normal kid that Xavier was impressed with.

Maria: "Woah."

Angel: "Yep."

Suddenly, St. John Allerdyce(Code Name: Pyro), Mortimer(Code Name: Toad), The Glass Man(Maxwell Thompson, Code Name: Shatter), Laura(Code Name: Fog) started attacking the X-Men, while Laura turned into gas and brainwashed most of the mutant students to come with her, to Nathaniel and the Evolutionists.

Mortimer leaped to the sky and tried to use the momentum of the fall to flatten the X-Men, with no success.

Mortimer: "You killed two innocent mutants! You monsters!"

Angel tried to hit Toad with his feathers, but Toad kept dodging.

Shatter summoned every glass shard around them and tried to slice the X-Men into bits.

Laura returned, turning into a huge gas cloud, trying to suffocate the X-Men.

Pyro used a flamethrower and controlled the fire, creating a wall of fire around them, trapping his enemies inside.

Storm called a tornado that flew Laura in her gas form to a different town.

She then summoned hail and rain, causing Shatter's glass constructs to break into small pieces, and extingushing Pyro's fires.

Jean stopped the fight by controlling the minds of everyone in the area.

She released them, while warning them she could wipe their minds.

Toad: "We are here to avenge Mike. To avenge Kathy!"

Hank: "Who?"

Maxwell: "The swarm of insects was a woman named Kathy. That beast that your friends killed was a man named Mike. They were our friends. Our brothers. Our--"

Maxwell couldn't complete his sentence as he started crying over the memory of the deceased.

Pyro: "You have no idea what we've been through. You will not survive what's coming. You are not fit! We are the fittest! WE ARE!"

Jean read Toad's mind and began talking to him.

Jean: "Why do you serve Nathaniel? He doesn't care about you."

Toad: "Liar! He does! He salvaged me from my horrible life! I was misreable!"

Jean: "I can read your mind. No need to tell me your origin. You were hated by the orphanage children, never got adopted, eventually started working in the orphanage, with no payment. Your orphanage was eventually a victim of an Essex Particle blast, that caused you to fully manifest, and instead of just having toxins from your moth, green skin and reflexes, you became what you are now. I saw your memories of how Nathaniel treated you. That is not love."

Toad: "You know nothing! NOTHING!"

Jean: "Denial. First step in the way to embrace the truth."

Toad leaped away.

The other Evolutionists followed him and fled.

At the Hellfire Club

Nathaniel was throwing a party, and invited many people, all of them were mutants.

While everyone entered through the front door, and were filled with hope and happiness over the new age that was nearing, Toad entered through a vent in a different room, one where Nathanial was lying on a bed, a bit drunk, talking to a few women.

He wanted to ask him how does he feel about him, but was afraid to, so he just watched.

Blue Skinned Woman: "How does someone like you has no wife yet?"

Nathaniel: "Darling, I don't know myself! Oh, actually, I have a "son"."

Woman with bone spikes coming out from her skin: "A son?"

Nathaniel: "Yes. Mortimer. You know, leaping around, spitting stuff. I adopted him. But he's not really a son. Hell, I wouldn't touch him with a stick unless I had to!"

Woman with 3 heads: "So why did you adopt him?"

Nathaniel: "He was and still is desperete. He does everything you tell him if he thinks you have any positive feelings about him. If I didn't need him, he would at best be a butler! And won't be getting anywhere near the food! "

Toad jumped out of the vent and tried to choke Nathaniel.

They fought and reached the big room where the party was taking place.

Everyone were shcoked by this.

Toad held his hands on Nathaniel's neck, with a murderous look.

Toad: "You lied to me! I called you father! You used me! I'll kill you! You're a sinister creature that must die!"

Nathaniel shot a blast of energy at Mortimer from a red crystal on his forehead that was revealed.

Toad leaped and quickly punched Nathaniel as many times as he could.

He eventually had the upper hand again.

Instead of choking Nathaniel, he snapped his neck.

The crystal on his forhead began glowing and he healed himself.

He focused energy for a few seconds and was about to eliminate Toad in rage.

A mutant flew quickly and carried Mortimer with her to safety, while being assisted by another mutant.

They eventually crash landed, leaving Toad unconscious.

Female: "Thanks, Samual."

Samual: "No problem, Anna."
