Attack on the X-Mansion

The ground outside Xavier's Mansion shook and trembled as if an earthquake had taken human form. Kids in their beds went to their windows to see what was causing the noise. One word escaped their lips as so many of them screamed at once.

"JUGGERNAUT!!!"

One of the X-Men's greatest foes appeared in front of the X-Mansion to make trouble. Others yelled another name, "Magneto!" 

There was confusion, Magneto made peace with his friend Professor X, why was he attacking? Cars and things levitated from the ground and swirled around in a tornado. 

Some of the staff arrived and flew into action. The first to appear was Wolverine, but he was immediately pulled into Magneto's Magnetic Tornado! Juggernaut jumped into the air and came down with Wolverine. 

Juggernaut bound him so that he couldn't move. His arms were strapped to his sides and his legs were wrapped with a cord. His mouth and nose were covered by something and the feisty mutant eventually stopped moving. Juggernaut threw the unconscious Wolverine far away. 

Seeing Logan being tossed away, Iceman covered his body in his ice armor. He created an ice slide and moved toward Magneto and Juggernaut. If he could freeze them, for even a moment, it might provide time for the other X-men to intercede. 

An arm flew out of the shadows and pierced his armor! Taken by surprise he fell! Lady Deathstrike ripped apart the ice armor over his chest before he could react. She stabbed his soft flesh. The teens watched as one of the most powerful mutants they knew stopped moving. He was probably dead.

The younger children cried in fear but slowly started to feel sleepy. The three evil villains who attacked their home disappeared into the night. 

Finally, Storm, Rogue, and Colossus appeared where the enemy was moments before. Iceman's body lay on the ground with a wound pierced through his heart, blood was everywhere.

"Bobby!" Storm yelled. She held back her tears. Iceman was part of Charles Xavier's first batch of mutant students. Storm and Colossus were from the second generation. They looked up to Iceman as a symbol of bravery. He was someone to aspire to!

Colossus picked up Iceman's body and carried it into the X-mansion. He rushed to the medical bay, perhaps he could be saved!

Storm flew into the sky, her emotions were out of control and so was nature. Stormwinds gathered, and the clear sky was filled with grey clouds. Thunder boomed from the heavens as powerful shards of light pierced the sky. 

She searched, but could not find Iceman and Wolverine's attackers. Rogue was also in the air searching the surroundings. She was better at searching because of the variety of powers she absorbed over the years. 

Even when unleashing her powerful senses, she found nothing. The two women finally gave up and moved back into the mansion. Storm calmed her heart and the heavens calmed as well. 

Storm entered the mansion and saw that some of the children had fallen asleep, it was a strange reaction to what happened. Maybe their fear caused them to pass out. Frankly, she was too worried about Iceman. Wolverine would be okay, even though he was thrown far away, his healing factor could heal him from pretty much anything. 

They would look for him later. Bobby, on the other hand, might be dead. They hoped it wasn't too late. Perhaps they could use some of Angel's healing blood.

Rogue split up with Storm, she wanted to tell the Professor what was going on. She entered Professor X's office and found that he too was asleep. This was too strange, something was wrong she realized!

She activated all of her powers at once, at least as many as she was able to activate. Her defenses went up just as something hit her. Whatever it was bounced off, but as it fell to the ground smoke exploded from it. 

Rogue breathed in the fumes and noticed strange animals surrounding her. The animals grew gruesome in her sight. A man cackled and floated on some kind of winged monster.

"What are you?!" Rogue shouted in fear! She shot Cyclops concussive blast at the monsters surrounding her, but she didn't connect with anything. 

As the smoke dissipated, she saw someone lying on the ground. She screamed in horror when she saw it was her husband, Gambit! 

"Gambit, what have I done!" She rushed to his side and cradled his head in her lap. Her tears rolled out non-stop. Her guilt overran her. All of her defenses were down. This proved her undoing as she felt an energy shocking her body. In her head she heard to words "Sleep, don't resist," she did as she was commanded and fell to the ground. She was gathered by small hands and picked up. 

Professor Xavier was lifted from his wheelchair and carried off by a shadowy form. A collar was fitted around his neck as well as Rogue's neck.

In the medical bay, Colossus lay on the ground. He was covered in ice, and spider webs, and had a huge dent on the side of his head. He slowly reverted to his human form and was also fitted with a collar. 

One by one, the X-Men were moved into holding cells at the bottom of the X-Mansion. Wolverine was in a canister. You could see him through the glass, but his arms and legs were still restrained. His mouth and nose were free and he was screaming and growling like a wild animal.

Seven people gathered next to the holding cells. Spiderman was breaking off ice chunks from his body with the help of Mary Jane. MJ stood and watched, Gwen and Harry talked as Miles strutted around the place satisfied with his victory. Ned found food somewhere and was eating. 

"Do you think we've passed? Mary Jane asked.

"Are the kids asleep?" Harry asked.

"Yes, I took care of them," MJ said. 

"I think we're done. Now, we can call Bruce and he can give us our assessment. 

As Harry reached out to dial Bruce's number, all seven of the kids were startled by a terrible shout.

"What have you done?!"
