Plot History

This plot as been going since September 19th 2004

YEAR 1 (THE MOSTLY DARK AGES)
DATE FORGOTTEN:
 * A man who can remotely control electronic devices tries to steal the blackbird for an unknown party.
 * He is ultimately stopped when Kitty phases his foot into the wall holding him in place.
 * Before he can spill any information though his blood is completely coagulated to the consistence of roofing tar shutting his body and mind down instantly through a means that has never been revealed.

DATE FORGOTTEN


 * Razlo's cat, Gato, is abducted during an attack
 * During this same attack a sniper hits Kitty with a dart loaded with a mutation destabilizing agent.  It causes her to be unable to uphase.  This renders her mute and results in her slowly dying from corporal disintegration

DATE FORGOTTEN
 * Depressed by the rain and frustrated with her situation, Kitty decides to end her life and so  goes running off into the woods to get the whole disintegrated process over with and die alone.
 * Only Kitty soon finds that she is in fact not alone.  There is what appears to be a young boy in an old fashion hospital gown running around in the rain.  The boy is clearly a mutant and perpetually phased just as Kitty had found herself to be currently.  Rain is falling through him and making ripples through his body as they fall.
 * Kitty asks the boy his name and the boy thinks hard and then says he does not know what his name is but he thinks his name might be 'Ghost' because that is what a lot of people call him when they yell and point at him.
 * The boy does not seem bothered by the fact that he is does have much in the way of memory recall, though he never has to ask Kitty to repeat herself during the conversation.  Instead the boy seems to be thoroughly enjoying himself running about in spite of the rain which he says he can not feel nor can he feel the cold.
 * The young boy's frivolity and happiness, snaps Kitty out of her depressive stupor and she takes the young boy to see Xavier.
 * The young boy immediately does not like Xavier for reasons that are not apparent and runs out of Xavier's office and into the woods.
 * A small scale search is done for the boy but he is not found.

DATE FORGOTTEN


 * Z'en and Baal defect from the bad guys and join the x men as the repairman and the groundskeeper respectively.  A woman called Hypolite also joins.
 * The three former bad-guys also bring back Razlo's cat, though it is obvious that something had been surgically removed from the cat.
 * More important than Razlo's cat, the three former bad guys bring an experiemental mutation stabilizing gas with which to cure Kitty. Both they offer to the cure to the x men, but they want sanctuary at the institute in exchange for it.
 * Xavier agrees to provide them with sanctuary.


 * Things do not go well as Baal has a seizure and as a result seriously damages the institute and irradiates the pool water.  Hypolite gets severe burns over most of her upper body when she drags Baal into the pool to use it as a giant heat-sync.


 * Hypolite is dumped a local burn unit.  She is never heard from again.

DATE FORGOTTEN:
 * Some bad guys show up asking for Baal and Z'en, who Xavier keeps hidden in the Institute.
 * While they are waiting and out of sheer boredom, one of the bad guys, Dopla, a woman with four arms, challenges Sargotha to a wrestling match, Sargotha promptly beats Dopla by injecting venom into Dopla's legs.  Dopla sees this as cheating in the extreme and is less than pleased.
 * One of the other bad guys, a portal maker called The Transporter, who was claiming to simply be there to secure the return of Baal and Z'en, ends up covertly sneaking a package containing an optical data disk into the hands of the x men.
 * The bad guys leave empty handed mostly as a result of Dopla no longer being fit to fight and The Transporter not exactly being a good fighter himself.

DATE FORGOTTEN:


 * In order to read the data on the optical data disk, the x men sneak into a military research facility and steal an optical data disk reader.


 * In the process of this happening Pedro is forced to basically destroy the blackbird, which prompts him to later rebuild the blackbird better and more energy efficient.

DATE FORGOTEN: - The imfamous crate bruning incident
 * Blaming Kitty for the death of her boyfriend (the guy who tried to steal the blackbird), Statue tries to get revenge on Kitty by first sneaking into the institute as a statue and then trying to stab Kitty to death in her sleep.  Kitty never found out about the assassination attempt as the woman was portal away by The Transporter who had returned revealing that for his slipping the x men the optical data disk, he had been infected with a stronger version of the mutation destabilizing agent that rendered Kitty unable to phase and does not have that much loner to live and so wants to make up for all the evil things he helped do.
 * The Transporter and Xavier engage in a lengthy private conversation about topics that are never revealed for the rest of the night.

THE NEXT MORNING: - New York City plot that refused to die
 * There is a rampaging mutant in Central Park and with the Blackbird out of commission from the previous mission, and no spare, The Transporter offers to make a portal to take the x men directly to central park.
 * Due to his deteroriating health and losing control of his powers, The Transporter's portal do not exactly work quite right, Kitty emerges directly into a tree, which she luckily does not die from due to phasing as she passed throught the portal.
 * Of greater long-term impact is that Pedro and Daniel, who utterly hate each other's guts, end up more or less fused together two minds, one brain, and a singular body.
 * The x men muddle through the mission which is dealing with a rampaging mentally impaired mutant, but their success is debatable as a mysterious man in a black business suit who demonstrates the ability to control his body down to the individual cells along with several men in white haz-mat suits with high tech equipment more or less swoop in and take over the situation.
 * With no way of getting back and several of them in some way seriously injured, the x men have to find alternatives means of getting home, which ultimately they do.

DATE FORGOTTEN:
 * In revenge for killing his sister, Boulder attacks the institute targetting Kitty.  He is ultimately defeated and forced to retreat by burrowing into the ground.

DATE FORGOTTEN:
 * Rift, a veteran of several military conflicts in an alternate version of reality (and a portal maker) ends up portalling into Earth 1235 (the x men's native plane of being).  His military expertise and skill as well as his finese and mutant ability, quickly result in him being chosen to lead the x men in the field.

DATE FORGOTTEN:
 * Ghost visits the x men as a result of one of them being critically injured.
 * Kitty takes the oppurtunity to introduce Ghost to Jodie.
 * Ghost takes an immediate shine to Jodie

DATE FORGOTTEN:
 * The institute is attacked by a psionically immune flyer with a teleportation belt, Zero-G, who runs into her first snafu when rather than progress un-noticed through the halls, is spotted by one of the residents.
 * She is forced to try to teleport away and ends up in the med-lab where she takes Sarah, the institute's doctor who had been working late, hostage.
 * Zero-G's plan runs into a bunch more nags namely that the x men keep trying no matter what the odds.
 * Xavier agrees to a hostage exchange, himself for Sarah.
 * Zero-G gladly accepts what she sees as an upgrade in hostages.
 * Before Sarah runs out of the Med-Lab, Zero-G tries to break her part of the deal and keep Sarah hostage as well and in response to the shock and surprise, Sarah taps into a previously unknown secondary mutation that hurts people rather than heals them.  During Zero-G's surprise at being harmed by the healer, Sarah is able to escape.
 * The x men press their attack to re-take the med-lab, and ultimately Zero-G is forced to try to retreat with her teleportation belt, right as Kitty phases her hand through it damaging it's inner workings and overloading it.
 * Zero-G and Xavier end up being teleported to central field in the middle of a football game being watched by people on television as well as a packed stadium of spectators.
 * Xavier quickly mentally dominates the camera-men and have them cut off the camera-feeds, then proceeds to try to mentally clear the minds of all the spectactors.
 * The x men quickly arrive in the recently rebuilt Blackbird which can now hover effortlessly and a large portion of the x men repel out of the bottom of the blackbird to try and handle the situation, which they soon find that Xavier has well in hand, but Zero-G is no where to be found.
 * Just as they are about to lift Xavier into the blackbird, Zero-G teleports in and attacks.  But is quickly subdued by the x men while Kitty rushes Xaiver, who is still clearing the minds of the spectators, away to what she believes will be safety.
 * Zero-G is later found in a men's bathroom stall her teleportation belt having suffered a catastropic failure and teleported her inside out into one of the men's bathroom in the middle deck.
 * Xavier suceeds in preserving the secrecy of not only the x men but the prevalence of mutants in general, but it ends up causing an aneurysm in his brain killing him.
 * Kitty takes a leave of absence from the x men to come to terms with the loss of Xavier.

DATE FORGOTTEN


 * Alpha and Omega make their presence known.


 * Alpha sends the x men to the Congo to 'rescue' his 'sister' Omega who believes herself to be an elderly botanist.  It is implied that the distance between the two of them is going to tear a hole in reality.  Alpha claims that he can not do it due to some self-imposed rules and implies that he would rather let this reality collapse then violate those rules.


 * The x men go to the Congo, encounter some hostile french terrorists, find the research camp, try to convince Omega of who she is, a fight breaks out, Omega's corporal body is severely damaged, she tries to make a new one, the new body is partially damaged.  Omega is defeated, the incomplete body is dumped at the x men's doorstep due to an inability of Alpha and Omega to kill it themselves.  The incomplete body finishes development and becomes Tau.

DATE FORGOTTEN
 * Unaware of Kitty's temporary departure from the team, Boulder attacks the institute agian.  But this time he tries to employ, Sk8tr, as a distraction to give him more time to prepare but sucking up a bunch of dirt.
 * After making a severe miscalculation in direction, Sk8tr ends up trying to pass over top of the pool only to be brought to a drastic and sudden stop as a result of a loss of momentum.  She drops her weapon (a metal baseball bat) and swims to the side of the pool and gives up now that she is slow enough to be easily dealt with and rather prone to say the least.  She says she was just in it for the money but is not getting paid enough to actually try to fight the x men.
 * Sk8tr befriends several speed enthuasists and force field makers amongst the x men and becomes more or less a friend of the x men after agreeing not to help people hurt the x men and in exchange Sk8tr is allowed on the grounds to utilize the wide open space of the grounds to really cut lose and get up some high speeds for practice.
 * Boulder, meanwhile eventually realizes that he has been denied his revenge on account of Kitty not being at the institute and so once more is forced to retreat with his tail between his legs.

DATE FORGOTTEN:


 * Chiran shows up with an accomplice and a bunch of guns and tries to either kill the x men or get them to kill him.  Unsuccessful at both goals and wanted by the authorities, Chiran basically forces the x men to let him stay there with the agreement that he not try to kill them in their sleep.

DATE FORGOTTEN:
 * Kitty returns to the x men and to celebrate she and several of the other residents go shopping in New York City.
 * Unfortunately for Kitty, Boulder happens to be in the area spots her and having been denied his vengeance only a short time before, takes the oppurtunity to try to flatten Kitty using the streets and buildings to pin her and her friends down.
 * Unfortunately for Boulder, he chooses to try to engage in a mid-city fight near a demonstration of anti-mutant equipment by Code Blue, New York City's anti-super-powered criminal police division.
 * A three way battle quickly insues between Boulder, the x men, and Code Blue.
 * Boulder basically stops moving and as he current looks like just a very large ball of rock and pavement, is mistaken for just a big ball of rock and pavemen being controlled by one of the x men, causing Code Blue to focus on the x men instead.
 * The X men are effetively saved when Ghost shows up, having sense that Kitty was in danger due to his connection with her, and causes Code Blue to discharge their large energy weapon at him, which does not hurt him in the slightet since he is incorporal.
 * With Code Blue having to recharge their weapon, the x men who had not gone shopping are about sneak into the area and pick up the other resident in one of the vans.
 * A wild police chase ensues, which is severely tipped in the x men's favor by Kitty repeatedly phasing the van through other vehicles and obstacles.

DATE FORGOTTEN:
 * As a result of a minor scuffle, Omega's body is effectively destroyed by a plane crash in the danger room and she is forced to make a new body, a process that is apparently still on-going.

DATE FORGOTTEN:
 * In an attempt to show that he is not an evil entity and is in fact a force for the general good, Alpha ends up (after Jodie begs him to) more or less restoring Ghost's lost memories to him, which is an event that Ghost would later refer to as the 'Great Enlightenment'.
 * Alpha's actions also causes Ghost to change his name to Seraphim.

DATE FORGOTTEN:


 * The x men are called to help resolve a conflict with a Quebecoise town run by mutants who have put up an force field dome around the town and declared themselves to be the independent nation of New Quebec.


 * Rift portals several teams through the force field to see what is on the other side.


 * Jodie meets and begins a relationship with Gordias Midas the XIIth, Gordon for short, who is directly desended from King Midas, who has the magic based ability to turn things into gold but the physical side effect of donkey ears which even if a world were people with physical mutation are atleast somewhat accepted by certain parts of society he is compelled to keep hidden.  Gordon explains that he is a finiancial backer of the Canadian Mutant Liberation Front, which have legally seized the mjaority of the town and are willing to pay anyone who does not wish to stay in the town twice what the market value of their homes and businesses are as compensation for their troubles.


 * Pedro and Sargotha begin a relationship, having previously been unable to admit to each other how they felt.  But they decide to keep it a secret for the time being.
 * Ghost shows up but is not seen by most of the people there as he is having to project himself a long distance from his home of the greater New York City area, but still is compelled to come due to his virigining death sense.


 * New Quebec has a Weapon of Mass Destruction consisting of a pair of mutants and is comparable to many first world nation's capability of Inter-continental Ballastic Missiles.  The idea, their possession of the weapon makes them an immediate super-power and should therefore command them respect.  They demonstrate the power of the 'weapon system' by causing a meteor to hit an un-occupied island off the coast of Canada.
 * An extremist mutant with mild time maniupulation abilities seized control of New Quebec's WMD. He begins to make overt threats against other nations.  A five minute battle is fought both outside of and within the dome.  The x men's magical terramancer, Terran, is crushed to death when he loses control of the earthen dome he was using to keep people safe for falling debri.


 * One of the co-leaders of the CMLF takes responsibility for the destruction after seeing to it that rogue member of his group is killed, and surrenders to the Canadian Authorities.  An unease peace is estabished.  New Quebec is allowed to exist with the understand that if they use their WMD against any country the first causality will be their leader's brother (the other leader of the group)

October 31


 * An offsite party by some of the x men is interrupted by an 'attack' by 'Swarm' who initially is doing nothing but puppeting a bunch of motorists and making them do the Thriller dance.  When the x men show up, he has the people he is controlling attack the x men.


 * Swarm is thoroughly beaten with a minimal of civilian injuries and taken prisoner by the x men


 * Alpha demands the return of Swarm


 * Rift gets Alpha to agree to stop using his abilities on the x men directly in exchange for Swarm being returned.


 * Once Swarm is returned Alpha apparently has him killed.

November 1-November 30


 * Most of the x men spend this time trapped in a pocket dimension talking to Alpha as he tries to get Rift overthrown as leader and his agreement with Rift thereby nullified.  Rift is retained as field leader of the x men.


 * Sarah, Chiran, Z'en, Sargotha, and Baal are left at the institute.


 * Sarah and Sargotha get trapped on the lower level of the institute when The Core takes over the institute.


 * Due to isolation, Sargotha's body is triggered to undergo a change the results in her giving birth to an egg.


 * Alpha takes the egg saying that if he does not either Razlo or Stryker will likely kill the resulting offspring.

December 1rst


 * The x men are returned to the institute and find it a wreck.


 * The x men find a cyborg, called Tek, who claims to have come seeking Z'en's help with repairs and was attacked by The Core's drones and forced to bunker down in the hangar and salvage parts from the blackbird.  This prompts Pedro to later rebuild the blackbird for a second time.


 * They make their way out of the lower levels after recovering a mentally traumatized Sarah and a slightly feral Sargotha.


 * Daniel is taken 'captive' by an overly eager Rio, who is so glad to see him that she ends up holding him underwater until he passes out.  She then realizes what she has done and hurls him out of the water unto the pool deck.  The Core then takes him prisoner and tries to figure out what makes him tick.


 * Daniel goes nova and overheats most of The Core before escaping, in his attempts to escape he destroys Terran's spell book


 * The x men and The Core reach a mutaul understanding and it is discovered that Alpha is to blame for the problem as The Core has been brought from his native plane of reality to this one to 'fix a hole' in reality.


 * Cale ticks off The Core but before The Core can retailate, Alpha seemingly kills Cale with a large energy weapon before disappearing.

YEAR 2
Sometime in January


 * The Core is fully integrated into the institute, which has itself been upgraded.


 * Tek sticks around to serve as the tech guy for the group


 * A much older man claiming to be Cale and telling stories of spending ten years in another plane of reality literally falls out of thin air unto the breakfast table.


 * Pedro refuses to (and still does so) believe it is actually Cale and insists that it is a trick by Alpha.


 * The other residents accept the older man as Cale.

DATE FORGOTTEN


 * A man shows up, claiming to be the brother of the four armed woman that challenged Sargotha to a wrestling match.  He says he is there to defend his family's honor and challenges her to a grappling/wrestling match.


 * The man also brings along a guy with a vest of explosives strapped to his chest with the threat that if anyone other than Sargotha tries to fight him then his friend will blow them all to kingdom come.


 * Sargotha wrestles the man, who apparently can regrow body parts as well as grow entirely new ones.


 * The man almost immediate takes the advantage by using Sargotha's horns to hold onto while he drives his thumbs into her eyes.  He then begins bounding on her chest and neck with another set of arms.


 * The x men consider what he is doing cheating.


 * The man wins.  He takes the horn above Sargotha's right eye as a trophy.  He agrees never to return having avenged his sister's defeat at the hands of Sargotha.


 * The man's friend turns out to have an actual vest of explosives and a twisted form of invulnerability.  The man finding out that his associate had actually put all their lives at risk, leaves the guy for SHIELD to apprehend, which they do.

June 22nd


 * An entity capable of completely copying anyone it touches is directed to the institute by Omega in order to insight chaos and disorder among the residents.  The success of the chaos induction is debatable.


 * A mage 'working for' Balathos attacks the institute.  It, two minions, and the wands it was using are all destroyed after a prolonged fight.


 * Meridian Howell joins the group

DATE FORGOTTEN


 * The x men help out Shield by investigating a communications black-out at a Siberian research station investigating the effects of the Omega Force.  The base has been taken over by Mathew, who has the ability to manifest the effects of video game cheat codes in the real world, who is upset that SHIELD wants to re-locate him to a more militarized base in order to pursue possible military applications for his ability, which he is opposed to.  Ultimately the x men and Mathew reach a compromise wherein, Mathew comes to stay with the x men and continues to get to play all the video games he wants.

Early September


 * Sk8tr comes and warns the x men that her brother and some of his friends are going to try to attack the x men for the sole purpose of proving how badass they are

September 17th


 * Apparently word got around about the pending attack on the institute because it is attacked by a group of people all with various reasons for attacking.


 * Some of the entities that attack/come include:

- Grit, a merchant who uses micrite technology to conduct industrial sabotage - A golem, the Elemental Guardian of Earth to be exact, wants the x men to destroy the last of the Wand of Kings and the Wand of Queens - Gemini(1 and 2), a set of 'twins' that can duplicate themselves
 * - Hamster, Sk8tr's brother
 * - Burn, a pyrophobic who can set anything (even water) on fire with his mind
 * - Hairy, a mutant capable of controlling hair
 * - Some blogging spectators


 * The Golem deals with Marcus and is best described as defensive and patient with Marcus.  He keeps a tight hold of Marcus but does not actively try to hurt him.  Instead the Golem encourages Marcus to give himself over to the earth and become a golem like him.  Marcus declines the offer.
 * Burn and Daniel, fight/wrestle.
 * Burn is visited by the elemental spirit of fire who offers him the opportunity to give himself over to anger and the flame and have his revenge on Daniel.  Burn accepts the offer and is told to kill Daniel.  He sets Daniel on fire.  Daniel is by his nature fireproof.  There is a large superheated explosion and Daniel and Burn are both seemingly vaporized.
 * After the death of Daniel and Burn, almost everyone loses interest in fighting.
 * Grit talks to the x men and after first trying to just steal the technology through infiltrating Tek's hardware with his micrites, he gets the x men to agree to allow him to sell the technology that the danger room uses to make solid holograms on the open market with about a dozen different addendums to the agreement.
 * The Golem once again encourages Marcus to give himself completely over to the Earth.  Marcus continues to decline the offer.
 * The x men assure the Golem that they will destroy the two wands so that the cycle of the rebirth of the wands can start again.

September 22nd


 * A memorial service is held for Daniel.


 * It is attended by dozens of people, both friends and enemies of the x men.  Almost all the tension that results revolves around the conflict between Abby and Sargotha.


 * Pedro and Sargotha openly announce what is already fairly well known by this point: that the two of them are dating


 * Alpha and Omega show up and provide alcohol to the mostly underage crowd


 * Joseph Pole the 3rd and Talon enter into an agreement by which Joseph is provided with a tissue sample from Talon in order to mine his unique DNA for any valuable genetic discoveries.

October 26th


 * The residents have a halloween party.  It is interupted by New Quebec teleporting to float above the institute.  There is mild chaos.


 * Damion and Sargotha both receive telepathic calls from someone calling themself Harold and are directed to rescue him from what has been identified as an animal shelter.  Harold turns out to be a telepathic dog.


 * For disobeying orders and turning a recon mission into a rescue mission complete with destruction of private property, Pedro and Kava are forbidden from taking part in field missions for two months.
 * Abby and Roadkill, as representatives of The Forgotten, enter into a deal with Shato and Kitty under which the x men offer The Forgotten part of the estate for The Forgotten to build a permant home for themselves on so that they won't have to migrate from and squat in one abandoned building after another.

Sometime around mid-November


 * Flex is in a motorcycle accident.  His harley is totaled and he wakes up in the med-lab at the institute
 * Construction begins on The Forgotten's new home which is dubbed (initially as a joke) Dash-Two because its address is: 1407-2 Graymalkin Lane.  For whatever reason the nick name stuck and now is the official name for The Forgotten's home.

December 1


 * The x men are attacked by The Black Hand
 * Amongst those who side with the Black Hand are: Shroud and the Juggernaut
 * The Forgotten, mostly Abby, gladly bolster the ranks of those who fight back against the Black Hand

FIRST HALF OF YEAR 3
January 15th-16th


 * Shato goes missing.  He is last seen in Japan and the last call to or from Gin's cellphone came from the Princess Bar in Madripor.


 * The x men split up, one group going to Japan to look for Shato and the other team going to Madripor to investigate a tip that the owner of the Princess Bar, O'Donnel has but will not share over the phone


 * MADRIPOR TEAM


 * The Madripor team tries the stealth method, but that only results in a bar fight.


 * Kitty serves as verification of the x men's relationship to Wolverine, who O'Donnel knows as 'Patch'


 * O'Donnel indirectly informs them that Gin has been taken over by an old enemy of Wolverine and Kitty called Ogun.


 * The x men try to lure Ogin (Gin+Ogun) out of hiding by doing some damage to a local drug den.  They end up rescuing several mutants who are being kept there but it is Connor who finds out Ogin's location from a marine biology major turned brothel face-person named Ling, who give him the information in exchange for his help escaping the clutches of the madam that has her prisoner by way of drugs.


 * The x men confront Ogun and find out that an old associate of theirs known as Gecko has aided Ogun in his ressurection in order to conduct reseatch into paranormal psychology.


 * The x men functionaly defeat Ogun, but Kitty let's Gecko go with a warning.


 * While in Madripor, the x men recruit an electro-kinetic kick-boxer named Isis.


 * JAPAN TEAM


 * The team that goes to Japan investigates Gin's apartment for clues and find three thugs with blade and sword based abilities harassing Gin's room-mates and friend.


 * The x men rescue the three girls and Ryan takes the most injured one to a hospital.


 * The ultimate result of what little fighting there is between the three thugs and the x men is that Raye's snake, Trouser, is impaled on a spike.


 * The silver ring/belt on Luuv glows, turns brown, and then crumbles to dust at the same time Trouser's injuries are healed.


 * Sunfire shows up and basically using his rep alone subdues the three thugs.


 * With help and directions from The Core, Aki is recruited for the team.


 * The team is contacted by the leader of the gang that the three thugs belong to.  She wants to trade her three cohorts for Shato at a warehouse on the docks.


 * The x men try to dope shuriken with three fake hostages created by Facade.  As Shuriken only wanted to kill the three thugs, ruse is quickly discovered.  A fight in insue that results in Shuriken being killed.


 * Despite fallen from a great height and clearly having a broken spine, Shuriken gets back up and continues to fight by changing into a giant flying spinning blade and trying to cut people in half.  Raye tries to save herself by using other people as human shields, much to the general dislike of everyone.


 * During the fight, Jodie is critically wounded but Aki gets one of her doctor friends to agree to help Jodie under the table.


 * Ryan rushes Jodie for treatment.  Gordon follows behind them in a car.


 * Jodie's injuries are treated and she is rushed away by her boyfriend to get what he calls the 'best help money can buy'


 * Using some portals and metal rod manifested by Aki, Rift is able to hold Shuriken stationary long enough for Abby to try to electrocute Shuriken with an electrical cable.  As Shuriken is not grounded, she is not electructued.  But the cable gets caught up in her spinning blade body and she gets tangled up in it and her spinning slowed down enough to make her turn back to human, at which point she suffers a second clearly fatal fall, followed by electrocution and immolation.


 * Beth finds Shato in a back room barely alive.  It is decided that too many questions would be asked by bringing Shato to a hospital in Japan and they should instead meet up with Pedro's team and have Sarah help Shato.
 * WHOLE TEAM


 * Rift and Pedro's teams meet up and they all head home in the blackbird.


 * The new members get to know the other residents.


 * It is quickly learned that Isis and Harold are not going to be BFFs due to Harold's need to listen into Isis thoughts in order to communicate with her.  Harold is at first offended and then does not care as he finds a new friend in Aki, who he sleeps the rest of the way partially in the lap of.

February 11th


 * Pedro and Sargotha get married.

UNSPECIFIED DATE


 * In a secret operation, Sarah artificially inseminated Sargotha with Pedro's genetic material.  As traditional sex between the two is not feasible, artifical insemination is the only option.

March 4th


 * Under more or less 'orders' from Nick Fury, the x men go and investigate a small town in Minessota that is full of people who are just too perfect.


 * The x men try to go in in stealth mode, they quickly learn that there is a massive psionic presence in the town and their true identities are quickly discovered, but the town's folk play along, but are rather insistent that the x men should leave the town for various reasons.


 * Kitty leads a team that tries to make contact with a 'pre-cog' named Eric, who is the only local mutant.  Eric is attacked and the beast that attacked him is killed by Beth, but she ends up driven to kill Eric herself.  Kitty is able to get Eric to safety and then phases Beth down into a long abandoned mine.


 * The thing possessing and controlling Beth, in a rather crude way communicates with her and ends up giving it's life to try to help Beth escape.


 * The x men eventually find that the town's folk have been taken over by symbiotes called Nethropods, but did so for the most part willingly.


 * Faced with a whole town's worth of crosses between innocent civilians and enemies, Rift orders the x men not to attack.


 * Kava over-reacts and sprays acid into the face of one of the altered town's folk.  The woman she sprays is for the most part okay as she was sheathed in the nethropod at the time and Nethropods are acid tolerant.  But still the intention to kill one of the town's folk is quite clear.


 * The Nethropods call for Kava's head on a silver platter but eventually settle for the x men just leaving them alone, so they can carry out their plan to launch part of themselves into space in the hopes of those capsules landing, after a couple decades or centuries, on a more hospitable planet with no humans on it.


 * Kitty's team finds that Eric was not technically the only mutant in the area as he had been hiding another mutant (Ashley) in his basement.  But she demonstrates that she might pose a serious threat to not only the x men but the world as a whole.  Facade, Sarah, and Harold convince Ashley to let them try to help her by bringing her back with them to the institute.


 * Eric shows no interest in being an x men but as the x men are semi-responsible for his house being destroyed they help him relocate to Atlantic city where he feels he will be able to make a new life for himself effectively cheating at roulette with his mutant ability.

March 5th


 * Rift reports their finding to Nick Fury, who says that the x men's finding corroborate what he already knew and then seemingly leaves the nethropods alone as...

April 13th


 * The town of Prince-View, Minnesotta is effectively destroyed in what is referred to by the media as a catastrophic failure of a pressure valve at the town's bio-diesel refinery.  SHIELD and The X-Men know otherwise.

 * The x men are attacked by:


 * - A guy, who is protected by the amulet of Ages and thus immune to most elemental attacks.

- a woman possessed by part of the spirit of the elemental archer and is capable of summoning and shooting arrows that have random elemental effects. - a large wooden puppet that learns moves used on it or against it and can copy mutant powers that people use on it - a large golem that can regenerate lost body parts from and merge with elemental matter. It mostly regenerated and merged with the ground (Earth)
 * - a guy who uses song lyrics to cast spells, that are countered by the next words in the song


 * The fracas is joined by a mysterious woman known as Shroud and an individual referred to only as R &amp; B due to his red and black attire.  Shroud and R & B's intervention ultimately is fruitless other than making Mortimer, the amulet guy, realize that he made the wrong choice in turning down Shroud's offer and so sees no point in continuing to fight the x men.


 * The x men figure out how to counter the spells of the music mage (Major Tom) and use this knowledge to heal Abby who was seriously burnt by one of the spells.  But not before Sarah partially heals Abby.  Unfortunately Sarah's wounds are not healed when the spell is countered.


 * the possessed woman ends up being intentionally killed by her own arrow while under direct control of the spirit that resides in Mortimer's amulet.


 * The x men begin to use a recording of a song to counter a spell that is keeping Major Tom invulnerable.  Major Tom demands that they stop the music and let him leave.  Rift refuses to do so.  After a very small game of chicken:mutant powers edition, Major Tom makes all the electronics in the institute overload or otherwise short out.  Rift tries to stop him when he begins to do that by portalling Major Tom to the middle of the ocean, but finds that his power are temporarily inhibited.  Only after Major Tom has completely cast his spell do Rift's powers return and he effectively kills Major Tom with a portal.


 * Aware of the emanate danger, Seraphim rescues Kitty and Jodie to settle his debt with them.  Alpha saves Isis and Pedro.  The first in order to keep Tek from being killed inadvertently by Isis and the second because not doing so might end up indirectly bothering Talon.


 * Realizing that they have bigger problems than a broken communication system and power failures, Rift ends up sacrificing himself by sucking the arc reactor that provides back-up power to the facility into what amounts to be a vacuum.  He does this knowing full well that he will be sucked in too.

About six o'clock on March 9th:


 * The rebuilding of the institute truly begins in earnest.  No one openly talks about the loss of Rift.

15th JULY OF YEAR 3
PLACE: Earth 1235 - Xavier Institute


 * Shroud and her Revenant join the x men for their next mission.


 * The x men are sent to an alternate version of 1870s London England to retrieve two planar displaced people who have taken the position of Jack the Ripper (who turns out to be a version of Chiran) and Spring-Heeled Jack (Who turns out to be a version of Gecko).

PLACE: Earth 1492A - London


 * Shroud's Revenant sacrifices himself to take out Jack the Ripper, much to Shroud's dislike.  By eliminating Jack the Ripper from that time-stream the building civil/class war is changed into a full scale civil war that the x men immediately find themselves in the middle of.

PLACE: Earth 1492B - London


 * The x men eventually find Gecko/Spring Heeled Jack, who apparently remembers his first go through in this time-line and tried to prevent all the bad things that he knew would happen, his success at that endeavor is debatable.


 * Gecko's new family fight the x men and are winning until Gecko himself gets hurt at which point he uses the last of his life force to defeat his own daughter and grand-daughter and then sacrifice himself to bring the x men's mission to an end.

PLACE: Earth 1235 - Xaiver Institute


 * Alec, a new resident, 'repairs' The Core resulting in a new personality for The Core.


 * Once unified the new Core (C4) realizes that C2 had in essence repeated the actions of C1 and conducted experiements on live animals including the horses in the stable on the grounds.  Only Beth's horse survives the slaughter due to Beth having put the silver ring she received the year before from person's unknown into the braids of her horse's hair.  As had happened with Raye and her snake's the silver ring crumbled to dust and in the process revived Beth's horse after it's apparent death.


 * C4 also discovers that C2 also conducted experiements on Razlo's cat, Gato, which account for the feline's increasing size.


 * Dr. Viper joins the residents as the second member of the medical staff.


 * Kenzie is recruited by Alpha to help him bring the x men back from the alternate London reality.  She is unsuccessful the first time around despite being doped up on power enhancing drugs by Alpha.

PLACE: Earth 1235 - Dash-Two


 * A delivery man tries to deliver a package to the institute but is redirected to Dash-Two, who find out that the package contains a severed head, which has an amulet shoved down it's throat.  The amulet and the head are identified as both belonging the to man the who was immune to elemental harm that indirectly lead to the death of Rift.  There is a note in the package that says: 'See you soon.'


 * After being creeped out by the severed head, Roadkill and Abby go to the bar that Abby works at and Roadkill blows off some steam by dealing with a drunk guy who not only won't take the hint that Abby is not interested in him but insults Roadkill for being a mutant and Abby for being a mutie lover.

PLACE: Earth 1235 - London


 * After seemingly dying in Alt London, the Revenant re-appears in the London of the x men's reality.  He is 'rescued' by a local mutant, named Richard, who has the Revenant's wounds tended then proceeds to try to use the Revenant as source of warmth to keep warm, earning the revenant (who does not give Richard his name) the nickname of 'Space Heater'

PLACE: Earth 1235/Earth 62688 DATE: BETWEEN YEAR 3 and YEAR 23


 * Due to the x men's absence and the Revenant's return sans Shroud to keep him under control, the Revenant eventually incinerates the greater London area, which in turns sets about a chain of events that effectively result in the world going to pot, on an unrelated note, Abby is elected president of the United States after a distinguished career as a politician.

PLACE: Earth 62688 - London DATE: Sometime in YEAR 23


 * A covert joint effort, sees an older/more powerful Kenzie finally succeed in bringing the x men that went to Alt London out of planar Limbo.


 * Gordon hints at a loss of his ability to turn things to gold and gives Jodie a short letter, written in Greek, for her to give to the younger version of himself that basically tells his younger self to stop cheating on Jodie and appreciate her more.


 * Abby gives Kitty a letter of unknown content


 * A soldier who goes by the name of Pi, and is more than likely a grown-up version of Lance, forcibly insists on going back with the x men to prevent the time-line as he knows it from coming to pass.

JULY to SEPT of YEAR 3 on Earth 1235
PLACE: London DATE: About July 17


 * Shroud tracks her Revenant to Richard's grandmother's house.  She decides to not just blow the house up and look for her Revenant amongst the rubble and instead elects to just knock on the door.


 * Richard answers and when asked about the Revenant, thinking he is helping 'space heater' lies to Shroud and says there is no one other than himself and his grandmother in the house.


 * Shroud grows tired of this and blasts the door down to gain entry with a necrotic bolt.  Richard is unphased by the bolt but his grandmother is hit by blow-back.  At the urging of Revenant, Shroud tries to save Richard's grandmother but she is too far gone to be saved.


 * Once informed that there is nothing that she, Shroud, can do, Richard tries to tear Shroud's eyes out.  Revenant protects his mistress and Richard is cast aside.


 * Before he can attack again, Shroud whisks herself and Revenant away with a spell. Richard is left with no more connection to the house now that his grandmother is dead.  He sets the house on fire and dedicates his life to making Shroud and 'Space Heater' pay for killing his Grans.

PLACE: London DATE: August 20th


 * Richard's attempt to get a lead on Shroud and Revenant are futile until he meets a man that remains in the shadows but tells him about the Xavier institute and tells Richard to go there and train and sooner or later Shroud, 'space heater', or both of them will come there and he will be able to have his revenge then.


 * Richard points out that he has no passport and no money to buy a ticket, not to mention his physical abnormality making travel hard to say the least.  In response the man hiding in the shadows tells him that there is a shipping freighter leaving from a certain dock soon that the man has secured Richard passage on, if you consider bribing the dock guards to look the other way and stocking a shipping crate with provisions and essentials for Richard's journey, 'securing passage' for him.


 * The man also gives Richard a small cache of British pounds and American dollars to secure anything Richard might need that the man did not think of.

PLACE: Onboard the HMS Codswallow - Atlantic Ocean DATE: August 20 to August 24


 * Richard finds that in addition to a chemical toilet and MREs the space prepared for him (which on the shipping manifest is listed as a crate of: synthetic dirt) also has a number of books on arm-centric fighting styles as well as books on snakes and fighting in general.


 * Richard eventually breaks down and reads the books but without any one to practice with or space to practice alone the books do little to actually improve his fighting skills.  Though the books do give him a lot of ideas of how to go about doing that once he is actually able to practice.

PLACE: New York City/State DATE: August 24 - August 30


 * Richard makes his way to the Xavier Institute and in the process has a chance to practice his fighting when he is repeatedly harassed by anti-mutant thugs.

PLACE: Front yard of Institute DATE: August 31st


 * Major Tom's mentor, Lyric, comes and brokers a deal through which the x men get a means of indirectly locating Rift.


 * Under the deal, Lyric, who speaks only in song lyrics, gets the x men as live-in bodyguards for what turns out to be two individuals that will be residing in a combination house/recording studio that the x men have been instructed to see to the construction of on the grounds of the institutes.


 * In exchange for their help, Lyric hands over the phone which her former student had enchanted as the conduit for a compulsion he put on Rift before they both seemly died for him to call it periodically in order to use him as a spy without Rift knowing he was doing it.

PLACE: Edge of Xavier Estate DATE: August 31st
 * Following a map left in the shipping crate for him, Richard makes his way to the Xavier Institute.
 * Gato, now the size of a medium sized dog, encounters Richard and tries to play with him by chasing him.
 * Mistaking Gato's play for a genuine threat Richard runs for his life through the trees, seemingly unaware that his serpentine means of locomotion versus Gato's quadrupedal motion gives Gato a severe advantage.
 * Sargotha is out for a run when she encounters Richard who has finally wised up and coiled up into the branches of a tree where Gato can not get to him due to being unaccustomed to his own change in size and therefore not understanding a need for a change in climbing tactics.
 * Richard mistakes Sargotha for a dumb animal having seen a clone of her in the possession of a drug lord he once was a runner for.  So when she speaks to him he is impressed but chalks it up to her having been well trained.
 * A miscommunication and misunderstanding takes place involving Sargotha's original name, Lena, which Richard recognizes not as an individuals name but as the designation of Sargotha's clones: Large Enragable Non-sentient Animal.
 * The misunderstandings are never cleared up as eventually Sargotha gives up trying to convince Richard that she is not simply a well trained animal and instead elects to just walk away.
 * As Sargotha talks to Richard, Harold contact her and reveals that as far as his telepathy can tell, Sargotha is talking to a tree.  He can see through her eyes that she sees someone and is talking to them and hearing them talk back to her, but Harold is unable to detect Richard using his telepathy and Richard does not even show up as a psychic hole in the environment.  It seems does not seem to be there.  Richard seems unaware of this characteristic about himself but he is never directly addressed about it.
 * When Sargotha leaves, Gato follows her having grown bored of watching Richard who shows no sign of coming down out of the tree any time soon.
 * With Sargotha and Gato gone, Richard soon comes down and cautiously follows after the two of them who lead him to the others in the front-yard, who are by that point wrapping up their business with Lyric.
 * Kitty allows Richard to stay and train with them, which it seems is all that Richard is interested in doing.

PLACE: Memorial Garden of Xavier Institute TIME/DATE: Around one in the morning of Sept 8th -


 * Shroud's Revenant shows up and destroys the statue dedicated to the memory of Daniel in the memorial garden.
 * Aware of Revennat's secret, but not sure why he was keeping it a secret, The Core had allowed the Revenant to come onto the grounds un-obstructed.  But when the Revenant begins destroying property in a rather peculiar way, The Core decides that his agreement with the Revenant is null and void and so wakes up the more senior residents to deal with the problem.
 * After much arguing and threatening and metaphysical dick-waving, Revenant reveals his secret, that he is in fact Daniel, who many of the residents had seen be atomized when his powers created a feedback loop with the powers of an intruder he was fighting at the time.
 * Shortly after the Revenant reveals who he is, Harold and The Core both reveal that through different means they both were already aware of the Revenant's true identity but had chosen to keep it a secret trusting that Daniel had his reasons for not telling the others the 'good news'.
 * Pedro does not buy the Revenant's story for a second and instead states his intention to go get drunk using Dash-Two's liquor supply.
 * Daniel tells Pedro that he would be a coward if he did that as Daniel needs the x men's help to rescue Shroud who he says is being held prisoner on a remote island in the arctic ocean.  Which means that he needs to use the blackbird to get there.  Pedro alters his plans to piloting and only piloting the blackbird to this supposed secret underground compound if for no reason than to keep the blackbird from falling into the wrong hands.
 * Kitty calls for volunteer to go on the mission, but very few people show up, to the point where the x men are more or less forced to accept the help of Mathew who demonstrates his usefulness in the situation by using his ability to make a Stealth-Boy from the Fallout series real and use it to hide in plain sight amongst them.
 * Tek also leaves his lab, to join the mission under the generalized idea that a magic expert like Shroud might have a better chance of making some progress with the enchanted cell phone which so far he has made little progress with.
 * Recognizing Daniel as 'Space Heater', Richard tries to avenge his gran-gran by attacking Daniel, only to have Kenzie (following orders from Kitty) portal him away to the parking lot of the local mall.

PLACE: Salem Center Mall TIME/DATE: around 1:15 AM on Sept 8th


 * Richard tries to call the institute to have someone come and pick him up but ends up dialing Dash-Two instead, where new member of The Forgotten, Zora, picks up and soon agrees to come, allong with Abby, and pick him up.
 * Richard is picked up and brought back to the institute by Zora and Abby

PLACE: Bouvet Island TIME/DATE: Morning the 8th of Sept


 * Kitty, Alec, Pedro, Rogue, Daniel, Tek, Sarah, Mathew, and Kenzie fly to the remote arctic island that Daniel indicated that Shroud was being kept prisoner on/in.  The group is backed-up remotely by Harold.
 * Once the team arrivs at the island, Harold is able to use their brains as a relay station to get a read on the psionic activity in the area and informs them that there appears to be a psionic barrier keeping him from penetrating into any sort of underground complex that might be there but the fact that there is a huge psionic void underneath them makes him think that there is likely something being hidden there.  But unabe to get a read on any people that might be inside the hypothetical underground complex, the initial plan of having Kenzie portal the group into the underground complex is discarded.
 * Still using the x men's brains as a relay station, Harold probes the minds of what little local fauna there is to get the location of what turns out to be a hidden entrance to an underground complex and then have a seal lead them to the entrance.
 * Once the team are inside the complex, Harold is able to use their brains as a signal booster to get a read of the psionic activity inside the underground complex and finds that while there are other people inside the complex that the other people are all seriously mentally unbalanced and crazed, save for one unconscious individual who Harold presumes is Shroud.
 * Rogue, Kenzie, Tek, Sarah, and Mathew stay behind on the black-bird.  Mathew tries to enlist the help of the two young women in settling scores with people who competes against on online games but Kenzie is uneasy about trying to operate three different controllers at once and Rogue is completely unwilling to use her powers to put a guy who cheats in Borderlands 2 into a coma for a week due to the effect that doing so would have on her.
 * The group make it to where Shroud is and find the room littered with the bodies of human sacrifices and Shroud laying on a slab amidst a pool of human blood.  They also find that they can not get out of the doorless room by any means and that they can not make contact with the outside world due to a second psionic barrier around the room.
 * Daniel wakes Shroud up only to in so doing also also wake up the demonic entity that the human sacrifices and (presumably Shroud as well) were gathered to summon
 * The demonic entity is dubbed 'The Man in White' because of his wearing of a white business suit.
 * The Man in White is defeated due in part to Shroud boosting Daniel's power to near the same level as the Man in White and a somewhat cruel plan by Harold that involves returning Sarah mentally to the peak of her addiction to the Slab and setting her on the Man in White after Alec initially gives her a near-fatal stab wound and Mathew makes her invulnerable turning her into an unquenchable life-force leech.
 * When the 'smoke clears' and the spots (from the resulting bright flash of the Man in White's destruction) clear from people's eyes, Alec ended up having some of his life force sucked out of him by a misguided Sarah, who remains mentally in the grips of her former addiction.

PLACE: Girl's dorms of the Xavier Institute TIME: Early morning of Sept 8th

PLACE: Xavier Institute - Earth 1235
 * Raven and Lira return to the institute.
 * Some force removes Chiran's inhibitions about returning to his murderous way and sets him on Raven.
 * Alpha tries to help Raven by keeping her away from Chiran since Alpha finds that he can not affect Chiran directly for some reason.  Raven ultimately turns down his offer and insists that she be returned to her room at the Xavier Institute.
 * Chiran ends up stabbing Raven in the gut before whatever was effecting him stops doing so and he comes to his senses and begins to proposing solving the problem the only ways he can think to do so, with more murder and/or memory erasing.
 * Ultimately Talon is alerted to his girlfriend's state and rushes to her side and tries to kill Chiran knowing full well that it was futile.
 * Alpha returns and after getting Raven to admit that he was right, patches Raven up and in so doing refers to Raven as his future daughter in law, much to Raven and Talon's pleasure and Alpha's displeasure.  He then takes Chiran away to parts unknown to 'talk with him of cabbages and kings and not trying to kill his future daughter-in-law.'

DATE: Sept 9th


 * The insitute is attacked by alternate versions of several of the x men and other Marvel character (who are collective known but never referenced In-Character as Omega's Y-men)
 * Khaos for a time amuses themselves mimicking Raven but soon gets tired that and starts posing as Pedro
 * The fighting between the X men and the Y men is seemingly governed by an intricate set of rules which are never explained to the X men and quite possibly were never shared with the Y men either.
 * For violating the rules, First Sk8tr (who is punished for being involved despite not being an x man) and Garnett (attempt to involuntary pass another compatant into a portal) are both sent to an alternate plane of being known as the Penalty box that appears as a flat plane coverd by whit sand that loops back on itself such that if you head in any direction your will eventually return to the spote you started from.  Later Jodee is sent to the Penalty Box as well.
 * Phoenyx and Baal cobine their abilities to fight some of the Y men but Baal ends up overloading and having a seizure which he had wanred Phoenyx about the possibility of before they even began.
 * Following Baal's instructions, Phoenyx throws Baal into the pool and extends the metal cover over it but ends up jumping in the pool herself to save Baal from drowning.
 * A score board appears in the sky announcing the changing score each time a memebr of one of the teams succesffuly neturalizes a member of the other team, though apparently attempts to actually kill other people is against he rules.
 * The contest eventually goes into over-time in which the x men are pitted against older and more powerful versions of Sleepwalker and Cheat Code.
 * While trying to neutralize Sleepwalker, by finding her body and waking her up, Daniel runs into more enemies who try toi stop him from waking Sleepwalker up.  Daniel decides to give Sleepwalker's guards something more important to worry about by starting a forest fire.
 * Kenzie attempts to put out the forest fire with water from the pool, which Baal had contimainated with radio-activity when he purged his excess energy.  This results in the contamination of the woodlands and large parts of Daniel's body with the beginnings of tumors.
 * With Daniel sure to die prematurely of cancer, Alpha forfiets on behalf of the x men and chews Kenzie out for her screw-up.  He also realzies that he and Omega had a wager riding on the outcome of the contest, which now that the x men have lsot means that he loses all control of Earth 1235.
 * Alpha is a bit of a fuck you to his sister, freely surrenders control of Earth 1235 to her, but not before taking the x men and all their associates and friends and beginning the process of relocating them to another reality dubebd Earth 12357.
 * Mathew uses Rad-Aways that he manifests from the Fallout Series of games to rid Daniel of his radioactivity.

The Last Third of Year 3 - EARTH 12357
FROM THE X-MEN's POINT OF VIEW

DATE: Sept 9 to Sept 23

FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY
 * The X men have no record of these two weeks as that is how long it took Alpha to succesfuly adapt both them and the new relaity be compatiable with each other.

DATE & TIME: September 9 9:17:32 PM DATE & TIME: September 23 7:57:12 AM
 * Over a thousand people sudden die of no apparent reason.
 * Global Law Enforcenmt groups (Such as SHIELD, SWORD, MI6, and ARMOR) do not even bother to waste time attempting to cover up the event as they were just as 'off-guard' as everyone else.
 * It is quickly determined that all the 'victims' had some sort of connection to the X Men.
 * A SHIELD investigation determines that a larhge number of x men also were killed as a result of the event, the connection to the x men and the death of several x men is globally suppressed for the most part to avoid an increase in anti-mutant tension and violence.

LOCATION: World-Wide (Earth 12357) LOCATION: Xavier Institute TIME: sometime between 8:00 and 8:30 AM LOCATION: Xavier Institute, Greater New York Airspace, SHIELD HeliCarrier TIME: 8:30 ish
 * All the victims of the global death event effectively return with no knowledge of not only the last two weeks but also their having died.
 * A low grade mass panic ensues with several of the recently returned victims but more or less re-killed panic stricken friend and family under the effects of a two severe psychotic episodes in as many weeks.
 * The x men who 'died' two weeks before 'returne' each one being to varying degrees a composite of themselves from both Earth 1235 and Earth 12357
 * The x men cope with this latest development as best they can.
 * It immediatelty becomes quite clear that the some form of severe alteration to their known reality has taken palce as the Institute is slightly different (most obvious by the absence of sensors through the building for use by The Core) as well as Xavier being alive but severely physically crippled and in self-imposed exile in the life support system with the cerebro chamber, to which he is directly coinnected.  A far more personal manifestation is Richard's discovery that his lowered jaw now splits in two whenever he tries to open his mouth as wide as he can and the skin of his throat is very pliab, which goes allong fine with his new preference for consuming his meat while it is still very much alive, a fact that is as disgusting to him as it is to others.
 * The nature of the sevrere shift to the x men's known reality is initially brought to light by Xavier when he reads the minds of the x men and discovers the meaning diffeerence in their memories to events as he knows them.
 * The situation is further explained by Alpha, who also reveals that the reason why they can not recall the last two weeks is because they were not apart of it because he spent those two weeks making sure everything would 'work' properly.  He also eludes to a multiple previous failed attempts thaty resulted in their deaths and the disposal of their corpses in The Grotto.
 * There are also several new members of the x men, who are native to Earth 12357.
 * Alpha reveals that he is finding himself compelled at times to be in essence evil to maintain a balance with the good that he does but he carries out these evil acts mostly throuigh the destruction of stars so far from Earth that their presence is not even known.
 * Alpha, after consuming sevral large stars, for what he refers to as 'sustanence' completes his relocating of the x men (and their associates) for Earth 1235 to Earth 12357, by alrering the memeory of the global community to make them forget both the massive deathe vent two weeks prior as well as the return of the victims less than an hour before.
 * Finding his wife in an unexplained comatose state and his son apparently missing having been taken itno SHGIELD custody 'for his protection', Pedro choose to focus on his son and elects to undergo a completely unauthoirized mission that he fully realizes is liekltk suicidal to in essence get on board the SHIELD helicarrier by basically flying the X-Jet, which is disappointed to find is not a adcnaxed aa the one he is used to, directly into the helicrarrier and then demanding the retun of his son from Nick Fury.
 * Pedro is joined by on his personal quest of venganece by his former room-mate Daniel, who Pedro allows to come with due to Daniel's imunity to the fireball that is likely to result.  Pedro does not even need to tell Daniel that they are likely to end up dead from what they plan on doing as it is already both understood by Daniel and understood by Pedro that Daniel is aware of it.
 * Pi quickly joins the team insisting he has an vested interest in the succes fof the missionm and hopes that neither of them are going to waste time tasking him explain that statement.
 * Kenzie tiries to join but Pi forbids her to do so and states he will use force if necesary to insure she does not come with.
 * Due to her revenant's involvement Shroud insists on coming with much to the Pedro and Pi's dislike, but more Pi's than Pedro, due to anger Pi holds towards the members of Shroud's order and Shroud herslef for their involvement in the drestruiction of Great Vritian in his time-line, depsite being aware that the events that caused it were ultimately the fault of Daniel alone.
 * Pi and shroud bicker and ultimatley Pi tries to take Shroud out with an advanced weapon that would have left her unable to even move, unfortunatley he misses and having lost the elememebt of surprise sets the x-jet on a collision course with the Heli-carrier and then shifts himself an Pedro out of the plane, leaving Shorud and Daniel in an aircraft that neither one knows how to operate and with seemingly no other choice than for Shroud to shadow-walk herself and Daniel out of the plane or die.
 * Shroud elects to take door number 3 and circumvents Pi's plan rendering it moot.  Pi returns having merely sent himself and Pedro ahead time long enough that Pi figured Shorud wouild have left by then, sadly Shroud had not and once again Pi's hand had been tipped and he knew he could not try the same trick again with any hope of success.  He iput a worm onto the x-jet's onbaord computer directing to to return to the Insitute's hangar and lock out the contorls for 12 horus, before shifting himself directly into central command of the helicarrier effectivelty making his presence well know to SHIELD, and more or less demanded the safe return of Lance to hius father or not only will Pi go and get Lance himself, already knowing where he is, but then come back and make SHIELD reject their decisoon to not take the easy route.  Needless to say Nick Fury consent having already planned on doing so anyways due to knowing about the return of Pedr, but makes it cleart hat he intends to take POi down and figure out all his secrets.  To which Pi wishes him luck in doing before shifting back seemingly to his point of origin in time-sapce.

LOCATION:  Local Mall LOCATION: Xavier Insitute
 * Meldoy, Garnett, Kenzie, Rogue, and Jodie decide to engage in some retail therapy at the local mall\
 * Melody takes her own as yet unrevealed method of transportation to the mall while the others take various conventional vehicles.
 * As a result of several complaints about problems associated with their mutations, Alpha turns Joidie and Kenzie outwardly into completely normal humans though they still retain active X genes.
 * Kenzie buys a sword from a fringe goods store in the mall only to run afoul of an over-eaher mall cop who chastises her for thinking it would be okay to carry around a weapon inside the mall and insists she take it and put it in her vehicle before he allows her to go futher into the mall.
 * The group encounters a fellow mutant who is being hassled and ends up having his mutation triggered during an altercation with so thugs.  The group comes to theaid of their fellow mutant amd Melody ends up wiping the thugs memories as well as altering their mindsets a bit just for the hell of it while she has them under her thumb.
 * The mall cop takes an interest in the cop based on a gut feeling and makes it his personal mission to find out what they are up to, to the point of violating the limits of his job description and enlisting the help of a friend in monitoring the secuirt cameras to do so.
 * Melody goes to a music store, the manager of which turns out to be actually one of her mother's people relays some rather distressing news concerning a group known as 'The Noise' and that they are now a potential threat to Melody.  Melody thanks the man and recharges her power and then re-joiuns the others.
 * The group (plus Sully, the mutant they came to the aid of) go to eat in the food store until to have a slip of the tongue by Jodie reveal the group's connexction to the x men, which is noticed by a young man at the next table.
 * The young man comes over and asks the group directly if they are part of or connected the x men, to emphasis the seriousness of his question he makes it clear that he has a large knife at the ready to presumably use on them.
 * Warily the group responds that they are connected to the x men, which seems to please the yuoung man who tells them that he not only somehow knows about Pheonyx but also wants them to give her a message which is that he wants his name back!  Implying that he calls himself Phoenyx and takes issue with Karen doing so as well.
 * Before any of the group can ask for any sort of clarifcation or further information the young man attacks and while the group acts to proetect themselves and each other the young man's attack is revealed to have been upon hims self and obvious fatal as he falls back with his knife imbedded in his heart and quickly rots away.
 * The young man's apparently suicide is notice and a riot quickly insues.
 * As the group is left confused both as to why the young man apparently killed himself as well as what their next move should be, the young man reveals himself to effectively still be quite alive having jumped to another nearby body after killing his previous one, making his potential as a threat quite evident, unfortunately much to Phoenyx's dislike 'he' quickly realises that tte bodhy he jumped into is that of a rather ugly woman in an unflattering dress.
 * Garnett uses her umbramncery to try to restrain Phoenyx' new body to have Phoenyx reveal another wrinkle to his mutation in the form of being able to caiuse the death of his current body by sheer will alone as he does so jumping into othe body of one of the fleeing rioters and making his escape.
 * Alpha, having just gone to great lengthes to insure trhe safety of the x men and thus their ability to conmtinue toi amuse him, intervenes and after chastising Jodie for having loose lips, turns back time to before Jodie gave away their secret, averting the disasterous events that follwoed and would have inevitably lead to even more disasterous events if the sequence had been allowed to continue.
