"Just stop talking. For the love of god, just stop talking," Morgan replied to Damien's comments. He was really losing his patience with this kid, but now wasn't the time to start a fight. After all, there wasn't really enough room for Morgan to start violently shaking the kid, so he'd hold off on that plan until later. He glanced out one of the windows to see Asteroid M start tilting to the side.

"Kevin, I think the chances of that happening are a bit worse than you'd think," Morgan said, still staring at the asteroid that was currently falling from orbit. "And something of that size..." he said, trailing off. He shuddered at the thought at what would happen were that thing to actually impact.

As Morgan watched with horror, he noticed something. From every little porthole set into the stone of the asteroid, a bright orange light was shining. He could see streams of energy spewing from the hangar that they'd just escaped from. "Victoria, you might want to step on it a bit," Morgan said, briefly turning towards the girl, before returning his view to the sight outside.

Meanwhile, inside Asteroid M...

Raze looked around from where he was standing. It seemed he was the only one left in the station. And without Magneto to hold it up, it was going to crash right into the planet below. He knew that if that happened, thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, could die.

"I'm sorry I can't make it home, my friends," he said, to noone in particular. "But I will not let my mistake cost anyone else."

He closed his eyes, and slowly rose into the air, the energy flowing from his body intensifying. It filled every corridor, every nook and cranny of Asteroid M with a bright orange glow. The rumbling around him continued, as the station began to collapse. Suddenly, Raze's eyes snapped open, the same orange glow flowing from them. In that instant, he felt something strange. He didn't know what it was, and at the same time, he did. Whatever it was, he knew it felt right. With one final surge of effort, his power exploded outwards in a bright flash of light.


Back in the Blackbird...
"What is-?" Morgan started to say, as he watched the light intensify. The energy exploded out of the asteroid, tearing away enormous segments of the stone, just burning them away into nothingness. "Guys, look!!" he said, calling attention to the sight outside. The flames grew larger, spilling out of the station. The fireworks display finally culminated in a massive explosion of fire bits of stone, an explosing that took an almost perfectly avian shape, resembling the great firebirds of myth. Following this blast, a visible shockwave of crimson energy radiated outwards.

"Umm, Victoria? You might want to step on-" Morgan never finished his sentence. As the shockwave hit the jet, instead of blowing it out of the sky, it passed through the metal. Morgan was pushed back a bit as the energy hit him, and he felt sick for a moment. The nausea quickly passed, leaving Morgan wondering exactly what had happened. "Morgan, your hair!" Kurt remarked, noticing that the minor cosmetic change granted by the enhancer had been reversed, reverting Morgan's hair back to it's normal greyish-white color. "Huh?" was all he could manage, as he pulled a lock of hair down in front of his eyes. It had indeed changed back to "normal". He tried to form one of the complex shapes that he'd made earlier with his forcefield, and found that all he could manage were the simple spheres and cylinders that he'd been able to make before this event.

It seemed that the energy had reversed the effects of Magneto's Enhancer.

"You know what," Kevin said as he heard Damien, "I think you should just..." Kevin didn't get to finish what he wanted to say. The Asteroid that they were getting away from suddenly had some type of energy coming off of it. Kevin looked on as the the Asteroid got destroyed and some after effect came towards them. It went through the ship, but it didn't hurt Kevin. However, he looked oveer at Morgan when Kurt said something and his hair was back to normal. Kevin wondered what happened and waited ffor everyone else to respond.

"What the hell is goi.....?”Jillann tried to say but a wave of energy shut her up she looked noticed that Morgan was it natural shade as were every that had gone through the machine. Jillann quickly checked her hair and noticed her sparkly gold streaks were gone; she frowned at the absence of the pretty hair.

(You know I’m surprised Aaron hasn't insulted or something to Jillann wink )

With Asteroid M a size able distance away from them, Victoria had to think twice about Morgan's suggestion to step on the gas. Changing a look out the window at the rock behind them, she could see that it was falling out o orbit at an alarming rate. As if seeing the last whimpering screeches of the base was not bad enough, the thought of it crashing down to Earth far below was stomach churning. Assuming Asteroid M could make it through the atmosphere, which was likely considering its size, thousands, or rather, millions of innocent people, mutant or otherwise, would perish.

And there was nothing any of them could do to stop it.

Shoving the throttle forward, she put the morbid thought in the back of her mind as something horrifically amazing happened.

Asteroid M exploded.

Before she had time to react, a fiery flash of light - one that oddly enough took on an avian shape - engulfed the rock, breaking it into smaller sized spaced chunks. The sigh of relief caught in her throat as the shock-wave of energy radiated outward from where Asteroid M had been. In a panic, Victoria pushed the throttle to its limit, but despite that the X-Jet was unable to excape the on coming blast. She braced herself for the impact....only it never came. Looking around like a little kid on Christmas, she was pleased to note that everyone was still a live, if not a bit different. Morgan, as well as the lucky few would were genetically enhanced were now back to normal, appearance wise at least.

Chuckling mentally at how those few might react, Victoria turned her attention back to the return flight to Bayville.

Damion was froze throughout the entire event staring down at his hand which was missing a special something that he had grown to like over the past few hours. Ge looked around at Zion to notice she seemed less... spectacular than before as well. Bummer. he thought which is no way to describe the actual mental anguish that struck him immediately. He just could not bring it out, even to himself. "How quaint, everything returns to normal and we still have to deal with Mystique..." Of course, all of this was aimed at Zion sence afterall, as far as he knew Mystique should not realy have any real problem with Liz. He went back into a shadw and found a seat near Liz and Zion suddenly finding it easier to sit down then to hang upside down from an alternate shadow realm.

She had the arms of her chair in a deathgrip. After things smoothed out she opened her eyes. "We're still alive? Yes? G..great....I'm never....ever....setting foot on another plane as long as I live." She promissed before hearing Damiens comment about returning to normal. She looked at Zion. "What a drag...." She said noting she had reverted back to normal. She took a quick glance and noted that all the "winners" had returned to normal.

Carlos shrugged in his Dimension as he scoped what was now his new range of transportation. He could reach earth just fine and he told this to the Lord of Magnetism behind him. Detailing everything to the bucket head of the Astroid being incinerated. He looked at Magneto and in the empty void much like space itself they conversed and Carlos obeyed for the most part as he used his power to pinpoint the Local Magneto wanted. As he searched he found the X-jet enroute to earth and he took a look inside through the various shadows of people. He could see the winners indefinately but unlike what he saw up in the astroid they were.... well back to normal. He related this to Magneto immediately and the man simply speculated what had happened. Carlos Immediately panicked his worry to Magneto who suggetsed he move more quickly to find a destination. Carlos did as he was told and in a few minutes there bodies moved through the void passing by the only windows to the real world, those of the X-men and Brotherhood on the jet. He felt like maybe he should have stopped and popped in but a little late for that now. As they dove to earth as fast as his new powers would allow Magneto in tow he Came up in a dark room much darker then he could believe for a man made structure. As Magneto Emerged the all power lord of Magnets snapped his fingers as lights computers and systems came to life. Well maintained for what looked to be an emergency base Carlos closed his portals. And sure enough as Magneto controlled metal Carlos found a surface polished enough to Reflect images and he saw himself for the first time since his transformation. His hair was still that silvery white color, but now more faded. He then looked back at Magneto as the Man tried to get his attention. Carlos New He was either about to be Kicked out of here with no real place to go or invited to stay to better the world.

((I'm not sure where you went with this Armouris, but I'll do what I can.))

Standing safely at an undisclosed location, Magneto was slow to admit that had been a close call. The destruction of Asteroid M - apparently at the cost of his young ward Raze's life - had been unexpected to say the least.

Here, at ground zero once again, challenge and adversity stared him in the face once again. Not that it was anything new to Erik, as adversity had been common theme in his life-time. With every new challenge came the opportunity to rise up, bigger and higher them before, and there was nothing, no one, not even Xavier would be able to stop him. All it would take was planning, and most importantly, time.

Turning away, Magneto paused and looked as his one true follower, Carlos. He owned him a lot, but at the same time, he was not sure about him all the same. He did not want another young recruit going soft on humanity and mucking up his future plans.

"We are now even," said Magneto simply, turning away from Carlos once again. He was referring to the trade of his life for Carlos' unexpectedly temporary genetic enhancement. An eye for an eye was the way he looked at it.

"Leave now," continued Erik, the coldness once again returning to his voice and soul. "I am no longer in need of your services."

===========================================


The ride home was freakishly quiet. Well, for Victoria at least it was quiet. Weather it was her mutation subconsciously blocking out all noise she did not know, but it was eerie to say the least. Either way, the overwhelming set of events from that day was bound to have something to do with it.

"We're home," said Victoria, with a note of finality, as the X-Jet was on solid Earth ground once again. Unbuckling herself, she turned in her seat and pear around at her fellow travelers, curious as to how they would react to returning - in one piece she might add - to home soil, especially seeing as they were missing a few...

Zion got off the jet and sighed. It had felt good to finally be in control but she guessed that all good things must come to an end, though she had hoped that this hadn't been as short-lived as it had been. Stretching her arms she wanted to kneel down and hug the terra firma beneath her feet but refrained from doing so as she watched Damion and Liz get off the jet. "I don't know about you two but before I go anywhere else," She was referring to the pub she had told them about up on the astroid, "I need a bloody shower." Zion looked at her now red again hair.

Narcissa jumped slightly as the wave of light swept through the ship, finding that her initial notion of being faintly ill increased by a ten fold. It was not the shockwave, but the unstable rocking of the ship. Her arms crossed reflexively over her stomach as she blinked away the light, finding a certain relief in the fact that Morgan and the others had returned to normal. Yet she wondered about Raze, and what he had done, wondering what he had given up...

The blonde had never been happier to set foot on solid ground, despite the circumstances, and breathed in the fresh air deeply as soon as the hatch opened. After several seconds of silent rejoicing that both feet were planted firmly on the ground, her brow furrowed. Suddenly she didn't know what to do with herself. What do you do when just escaping a near life threatening experience? Her eyes darted back towards those that exited the ship... What would they do? The rolling nausea that she suffered slowly faded, and as such, she sighed, beginning to breathe evenly.

Everything that had taken place on Asteroid M would hopefully stay there. Raze had ended whatever Maggy-face had currently started, and maybe things would return to normal... Turning on her heel she slowly wandered towards her dorm room. Her shoulder ached from where she hit the rock wall on her way out, and her ripped dirty clothing simply wouldn't do...

Conner had remained quiet throughut the plane journey home, not wanting to say or do anything 'till he had his feet on solid ground.

He walked down the ramp ont the Institute grounds and looked around, slowly deciding wether or not to stay.....No, he would rather keep his distance, engage with the X-men when he felt it was safe. Without a word Conner walked away from the plane and up the drive, the day's stress had tired him out and he didn't want his mutation to fail him at the wrong moment, besides, the walk would do him some good.

Carlos nodded as Magneto talked but didn't move. " Even we may be. in your service I still am. Fear incarnate, a shadow who can move anywhere there is the slightest hint of darkness." He ran a hand through his hair and pulled a single hair out. It was faded white but apparently he stil had half the power Magneto had given him. Most like Raze's energy couldn't catch him in his alter dimention where such energy dissipated in the darkness. Carlos turned on a heel as he closed his eyes and looked through the entirety of this hidden base walking slowly. " I'll stay here, Use me as you wish.... I doubt you'll have much reservations of having atleast one follower, with enough of your given power and his own set a skills to make those who should have been loyal pay as it were.... I'll take what I assume is an empty room for those you would have kept as winners." He slowly walked off down the hallway he knew contained said room. To let Magneto think things over and to aquaint himself with new quarters. If he had to leave he would now be technicly on the Brotherhoods side. But he didn't have the anger management skills at the moment to deal with their lot. not at the moment anyway. Once magneto as thought everything over hes sure that if he did send him away it would be with atleast a massage.

"I’m coming too I’m hungry" Jillann said halfway think that they were going to the brotherhood house. She was happy to be on land. She probably wasn't going to fly any plane for at least a week. Shortly after arriving she started to feel tired.
PostPosted: Tue Dec 12, 2006 2:12 pm


"Oh thank god..." She breathed and hurried after Zion off the plane. She was never going to ever get on a plane again. "I'm never flying again, I'll take the train from now on." She said adimently. She perked up at the mention of a shower. She could use a nice soak. "I'm after you." She said before anyone else could jump on it.

Kevin and SBen quickly got up when the ship landed. Kevin was tired and hungry from the long day, so he immediatly wanted to go to the kitchen...but he had other duties. He unstrapped the Profesor and had BBen carry him to the infirmary. They walked down the ramp and started towards it waiting for others to help him.
