The scene starts on the outside of the Xavier mansion. Clouds roll on a blue sky and a breeze sweeps the green grass, causing a ripple-like effect.
The camera turns so we can see a large sign on the lawn. On it is printed the words “The Xavier Institute for Higher Learning.
The mansion almost looks like a castle, with its brick walls and towers and turrets. Well, at least until the camera turns up to reveal a large blackbird jet zoom past in the sky.
The jet slows down and hovers for a little while before slowly descending. A garage door opens from underground and the jet lands into it.
The camera cuts to the interior of the garage the blackbird just landed in. The jet lands and various landing equipment spreads out.
A ramp lowers down from the jet and out of it steps several X-Men. These include Cyclops, Wolverine, Jean Grey, Beast, Sunfire and Iceman. They all look exhausted.
Beast:
I am serious, Logan, the amount of respect we get, even as a super hero team, is far below the normal standards. And it’s all because of our genetic make-up…
Wolverine:
Beat it, bub.
Iceman:
You know what, I bet it’s because of these ridiculous uniforms we have to wear. Would you respect someone who comes out wearing a tight, black, leather spandex?
Wolverine:
Kid has a point.
Cyclops:
Hey, Bobby, think about it this way, there are gene scramblers implanted into these suits. These tight, black, leather spandexes are the only things that keep the sentinels from frying us to kingdom come.
Sunfire:
I don’t know what you’re all arguing about, I enjoy my suit.
Jean:
Sunfire, just shut up. The only reason you got your suit painted in red and white is because you threatened to set fire to the school lawn.
Sunfire:
At least I had the guts to attempt to ask for what I wanted and I succeeded.
Beast:
Although even I must admit, Sunfire, that your methods to success are a bit distasteful.
A flash of smoke appears along with a BAMF noise. Before them stands Nightcrawler, who had just teleported before them.
Nightcrawler:
Welcome back to the estate, mein freunds. And I must say, you look dreadful.
Iceman:
Shut up, blue. I didn’t see you risking your neck out there to stop that wild sentinel.
Nightcrawler:
Ja, so? My services were required elsewhere. I was teaching the students. Speaking of students, the professor requires your presence at the nearest possible time.
Jean:
Which means right now, correct?
Nightcrawler:
Ja.
The scene cuts to the interior of Charles Xavier’s desk. He has hands folded calmly in his lap as he gazes out the window. Outside, several students are running around, playing.
One student accidentally causes a fire with a burst of flame from his fingertips. However, just as quickly another mutant explodes with water from her hands to extinguish the fire. Charles chuckles. However, this sentimental moment is broken up a knock on the door.
Xavier:
Enter.
The door swings open and the X-Men step inside. Nightcrawler teleports into the room, leaving a trail of smoke.
Nightcrawler:
Here they are, professor. Just as you asked.
Xavier:
Thank you, Kurt. Wait. You’re needed for this meeting.
Nightcrawler:
As you wish.
Xavier:
First off, allow me to ask you on how your mission went?
Iceman:
One fried sentinel, just as you ordered. Although I did freeze it first, but then Sunfire fried it…
Xavier:
So I take it the mission went well? Any casualties?
Cyclops:
No, sir. We were able to knock off its main power generator before it was able to cause any serious damage. Although it did knock down a house, but no one was in at the time.
Xavier:
And how did the public react to this… this aid?
Beast:
You know, I was saying it earlier…
Wolverine:
Can it, bub.
Jean:
The public reacted as it usually does, professor. Some people loved us and the others hated us. Hey, it’s all part of being the X-Men.
The scene cuts to a decently populated city scene. People are walking peacefully on the streets. Suddenly, a burst of fire explodes from an alleyway, causing several cars to explode. People run about screaming.
A figure wearing a leather jacket walks out of the alleyway, a lighter in his hand. It’s Pyro. He smiles wickedly and flicks a flame up from the lighter. He extends his hand and a fireball bursts out, igniting several people, who roll on the ground screaming.
Pyro:
How’s it feel to burn, humans? Huh? How’s it feel?
He unleashes another burst of fire and laughs again.
Pyro:
Maybe by burning you all, I can make an example. And then, us mutants will never be discriminated against again!
-------- Commercial Break --------
The scene returns from commercial break to reveal three police squad cars racing down the street, sirens blaring. They pull up quickly to a stop before they reach the destructive Pyro.
Several police men pile out of the cars and aim their guns at Pyro. Pyro notices them and looks at them. He puts his hands in the air albeit with a wicked smile on his face.
Pyro:
Alright, alright. I give up.
The police slowly advance, guns still raised past the safety of their cars, which proves to be a mistake.
Pyro:
Just kidding, assholes!
With a quick burst, Pyro flicks up a flame and throws his hands forward. The flames engulf the policeman quickly and they scream as the flames burn them to death.
Pyro:
You had that coming, scum.
The scene cuts to the Xavier mansion. It cuts to Xavier’s office, where he’s discussing a matter with his X-Men. Suddenly, he stops short, his eyes closed.
Cyclops:
Professor, are you all right?
The professor opens his eyes.
Xavier:
There has been a disturbance.
Iceman:
There’s always some sort of disturbance.
Xavier:
You may want to listen carefully, Bobby, this may be of importance to you as well.
Jean:
What’s wrong, professor?
Xavier:
Bobby, do you remember a boy named John Allerdyce?
Iceman:
Of course. We were best friends through middle school. But then I ran away in 10th grade and I haven’t seen him since.
Xavier:
Well, apparently, he’s been diagnosed with X-Factor positive.
Iceman:
That’s great. Why don’t we ask him to come over here then? You know, to the school?
Xavier:
Naturally, Bobby. But before we can even extend the hand of invitation, we must first stop this mad rampage he’s causing. Apparently, he’s set fire to several buildings and killed several people in downtown New York.
Beast:
My lord, is yet another teenager possessed by the reckless force known as puberty?
Iceman:
Beast, shut up. Professor, let me go down there alone.
Xavier:
Ordinarily, I would, but I fear there is also a much greater force that may come into play later on in this dangerous game.
Wolverine:
Like what, Chuck? Besides, what can’t me and my claws handle?
Xavier:
Believe me, Logan, this force is too strong for any one of us to handle alone.
Wolverine:
Okay, then what’s this magical force supposed to be?
Xavier:
His name is Magneto.
The scene cuts to show a news broadcast. An African-American woman is speaking to the camera.
Newswoman:
I’m here live in downtown New York City and quite a storm is brewing. A young man, recognized to be John Allerdyce, a known mutant is setting fire to everything in sight with his newfound mutant power of pyrokinesis. This new report will surely just add fuel to the fire of the anti-mutant group of people.
A burst of flame explodes onto the camera. The woman screams out and scrambles away.
Newswoman:
Oh my God! Oh my God!
She scrambles to cover behind the news truck.
Newswoman:
As you can see, ladies and gentlemen, hopefully somebody will be able to stop this maniac.
Several SWAT trucks pull up and a swarm of troops pour out of them, aiming their guns at Pyro, who watches with a raised eyebrow.
Pyro sweeps his hand, blasting several troops but the rest begin to fire their weapons. Pyro raises wall after wall of fire but he cannot hold them all.
The camera focuses on a single bullet. Waves of air come after it, just as it is about to hit Pyro’s head, it stops. Pyro turns and the bullet falls the ground.
A caped figure flies overhead and lands on the ground. It’s Magneto. He sweeps his hand and uses the SWAT trucks as weapons to bash the troops.
Magneto:
John, come with me.
Pyro:
Who are you?
Magneto:
I’m Magneto. I am the one that will enslave the human race.
-------- Commercial Break --------
The scene returns as Magneto offers his hand to Pyro. Just as Pyro is about to take it, another swarm of SWAT troops pour in. Magneto sighs and turns.
Magneto:
AVALANCHE! UNUS! Take care of these pesky human flies.
Two muscular men storm onto the scene. Avalanche has long, brown hair and is covered in steel armor. Unus is bald.
Avalanche:
With pleasure, boss.
Unus:
It will be quite interesting to see how these puny humans fare against our mutant power.
Avalanche:
Let’s go, Unus. This is our chance to show the world what mutants are really made of.
Avalanche claps his hands together and a small earthquake rumbles out to the troops. The troops are scattered as they try to escape the burst.
Avalanche:
Puny human scum, feel my anger as it rumbles in the earth.
Avalanche raises his hand and several large sized rocks rise into the air. He casts them forward and they smash into several troops. The troops that were hit go flying from the impact.
The remaining troops fire off their weapons with deadly accuracy. However, Unus simply waves his hand and the bullets fall as if they hit an invisible wall.
Unus:
These human weapons have their uses. But they stand no chance against my impenetrable force field!
Avalanche:
Good job, Unus. Now let’s put our efforts together and show these humans what true power really is!
Unus:
With pleasure.
Avalanche removes several boulders from the ground and levitates them in the air. Unus claps his hands together and force the troops and their trucks into a single crowd with his force fields.
Unus:
Kill them, Avalanche. They’re not moving from that spot.
Avalanche:
Their deaths will be insignificant.
He throws the giant rock at the mass but before it can hit, a red beam hits the rock, knocking it off course and shattering it.
Unus:
What the –
Magneto and Pyro both turn their heads to see the X-Men. Cyclops has his finger on his visor and his eyes are smoking red. All the X-Men are present, including Nightcrawler.
Cyclops:
Step away from the boy, Magneto.
Magneto:
You must be joking, Mr. Summers. You expect me listen to and fulfill one of your paltry requests. Frankly, if you want me to do something, you’re going to have to make me.
Cyclops:
Watch out Magneto, you might just get exactly what you wish for.
Magneto:
I usually do.
At that moment, Iceman pops out from behind a car. He locks eyes with Pyro, whose eyes widen as well.
Iceman:
John! What are you doing with Magneto? Get over here!
Magneto:
Oh, bugger. This could be a problem. You see here, Iceman, I wish to recruit… Say, what was your name?
Pyro:
Call me Pyro.
Magneto:
See here Iceman, I wish to recruit Pyro to my cause. And I believe that my cause is much more… satisfying than yours. Would you rather defend a species that has discriminated you or enslave it?
Iceman:
Don’t listen to this madman, John! You know what’s right!
A torn look appears on Pyro’s face. He steps forward then back. And finally just screams out. He sends a burst of fire towards the X-Men.
Sunfire steps forward and counters it with a fireball of his own. The two flaming spheres hit each other head on, extinguishing each other. A cloud of smoke appears and when it disappears, both sides are still standing.
Unus:
Can you not listen to reason, X-Men? If you joined us, we would rule the world, side by side.
Wolverine:
No thanks, bub. Hey, I’ll admit it, maybe mutants should rule the world but old Chucky was more convincing than you.
Cyclops:
X-Men! Let’s take them out!
Magneto:
Pyro, now is the time for you to pick a side.
Wolverine is the first to attack, he unsheathes his claws and lunges at Unus.
Unus:
Too easy.
With a simple clap of his hands, a force field expands and sends Wolverine flying. Then, Cyclops shoots an eyebeam at Unus, which he deflects easily. Beast is the next to attack. He takes a more subtle approach.
He dodges behind everyone and sneaks up behind Unus. He leaps towards Unus’ back but is also deflected by a invisible shield.
Unus:
Nice try, but my force field is unstoppable. It defends me subconsciously. Usually I don’t even know what’s happening.
Cyclops:
Jean, try to shut him down.
Jean:
I’m already on it.
Suddenly, as Unus easily blocks the attacks of both Wolverine and Beast, he stumbles. With a devastating mind grenade that explodes with greenish light, Jean blasts him backwards.
Wolverine and Beast take advantage, they quickly leap on him and pin him to the ground.
Magneto:
Oh, dear. Unus has gone and gotten himself beaten. Do your best now, Avalanche.
Avalanche:
As always.
Iceman and Sunfire charge at Avalanche. Iceman sends a hail of icy missiles which Avalanche blocks with a wall of dirt. Iceman backs up, allowing Sunfire to step up.
Sunfire flies over the wall of earth and sends a devastating pillar of fire down at Avalanche. Avalanche simply flings his arms and the wall of earth blocks the fire. He struggles to keep it up but manages to defend himself.
Iceman:
Gotcha.
Avalanche looks down to see Iceman aiming an ice sword straight at his belly. He is defenseless.
Suddenly, a burst of flame explodes and sends Iceman flying backwards. Behind a wall of smoke is Pyro, his eyes torn with rage and anger.
Magneto:
Good, Pyro. It seems you have chosen the right side.
Pyro:
I hope I have.
Magneto:
My turn.
With a swift wave of his hand, trucks and cars are thrown at the X-Men, who manage to defend themselves with beams and claws but after they recovered. Unus, Magneto, Avalanche and Pyro are gone.
Iceman pounds the ground in frustration. He’s crying.
Iceman:
Dammit! Why couldn’t I have stopped him?!
Cyclops:
Hey, he’s chosen his side. You’ve chosen yours. You guys just went different paths. That’s all there is to it. But whether his choice was the right choice remains to be seen.
Beast:
When are we getting new costumes?
Wolverine:
Can it, bub. Now’s not the time for your smart crap.
Iceman:
I’m pretty sure I’ve chosen the right side.
Jean:
Don’t worry about it, Bobby. If you made the choice, and you know that it’s right, then it’s right.
The X-Men walk towards the horizon.
Fade out.

This was entertaining and kept my interest. I'd definitely read more.
