After the battle inside Brainiac's ship, Dazzler, Wolverine, Gambit, Rogue, Francis, Nightcrawler and Thunderbird return to the Xavier Mansion. However...
"NO!!!" uttered Dazzler as she looked at the Mansion completely destroyed.
Thunderbird, Gambit and Wolverine angrily head in to find the Professor, Storm and Jean, but there's no sign of them. Wolverine looks at the others and shakes his head before clutching it, feeling rage and despair.
"No... we can't lose the Professor... not now!!!" said Francis, starting to cry.
Dazzler turned and saw a flaming cross at the side of the Mansion. She clenched her fist.
"The Klan..." said Dazzler angrily.
Rogue glared at the cross.
"Them rabid animals..." said Rogue with extreme anger.
"It should have been me... I should have stayed with the Professor... I could have protected him." said Francis sadly, knowing that with his powers, he could have made short work of the Klansmen. "Forgive me, Professor... I failed..."
Nightcrawler looked at Francis and frowned, understanding his pain. Francis just cried with guilt. He was supposed to be the one to stay at the Professor's side unless he ordered him to go into battle. Even though the Professor did tell him to go, Francis couldn't help but feel responsibility for this.

"You act as if there is no way to find them."
Touching down was a man who, at this time, they would welcome with open arms hopefully. The one man outside of the X-Men would would move heaven and Earth for Xavier: Magneto.
"Exodus contacted me en route back to Genosha. He felt something was off. I have sent Emma and Raven back with the others to watch over my lands. I am needed here."
He said as he ripped the cross apart with his magnetics and collected the nails as he looked at them. "Get a scent Logan. You should be able to smell the stink off of them. Working with this fire...there has to be some residual scents." He then began to look at the driveway. "I will see about tire tracks."
He then glanced at Francis. "It isn't over until it is. What is done is done. You can save them, if you can only compose yourself."
Johnny Franco was pissed off. "They took..." He punched the ground.
"Mr. Franco....your help tracking any mental residuals would be appreciated. Punching the Earth isn't constructive. Believe me...no one wants them to suffer more than I. But the first task is saving the life of Ororo, Charles and Jean. All else is secondary, even revenge. Thunderbird, Gambit, you are both keen eyes and trackers. Help Logan look for clues."
Johnny focused and began to scan like Jean showed him. "I really wish I was better at this."

"I can't smell them outside of this place..." said Wolverine. "They must have used a portal, mon ami." said Gambit to Wolverine. "Not all of them." said Thunderbird as he glanced at some tire tracks on the floor. "Some of them escaped in a vehicle from the motor pool." "Wait a minute..." said Dazzler looking at the tire tracks before turning to the motor pool. "Okay... taking Xavier, Jean and Storm is bad enough, but no one takes the Daz's car and gets away with it." "Ah think it's your turn, Wolverine." said Gambit. "Smell tha residual exhaust fumes." "With pleasure." said Wolverine. "These aren't the guys who took Xavier and the others." "It don't matter, hon. Maybe we can have some good interrogation fun." said Rogue, cracking her knuckles and smirking. "But I failed the Professor... I was supposed to be the one who would be by his side... and I just..." said Francis, feeling extreme guilt. He sighed and stood up. "Once we rescue the Professor... I'll leave... I don't deserve to be part of the team." said Francis.

"One failure and it is all over?" Magneto looked at Francis. "This isn't a game, you can't get a perfect score every time. But what you can do is try again, do better."
"Are you really using a video game analogy?" Johnny said. "And yeah...Portal. Which means they got back up. And...he's right Francis. Fine, if you quit, I quit. I am supposed to protect America from this. Keep Ororo safe. I failed. if that's all it takes...then boom...X-Men...done. Dissolved. We all failed. He wins." He gestured to Magneto. "I...that was rude of me."
"I get what you are going for. Besides, I will chalk it up to being worried for Ororo." Magneto took flight. "If it is so easy to abandon your friends and ideals for one misstep Francis Byte...then maybe you need to rethink your priorities?" He then smiled. "I got something. Since the missing car is Dazzler's...I know the type to look for. Come, I can trace it."

Ah admit... ah wus once as afraid as you were. It's hard... ah know... but you'll overcome it." said Rogue with a comforting tone. "Learn to forgive yourself... maybe not fer you, but for those who care fer you... like Petra... would she be happy if y'all was gone?" Francis looked down. "No." said Francis. "That's a good boi." said Rogue with a smile. "Let's get those bastards then." "Fine by me." said Dazzler to Magneto. "Gotta get our allies and my car back."

"Fear is understandable. But do not be it's slave, or misunderstand it. Fear is something trying to help you survive, but it is selfish." Magneto turned. "If Charles falls, Exodus can revive him. The one question right now is...what do I do with the ones that took him?"
"Turn them over to American Authroities." Johnny looked at him. "We're not killers."
"Speak for yourself." Magneto began to fly off.
Johnny sighed as he lifted out a segment of the driveway. "All aboard. I will fly us."
"Can you handle that Stripes?" Glob Herman spoke up.
"I must." Johnny said. "For the others. Besides, telekinesis is my forte."

"Gonna have to use one of the other cars... joy."

"Do you think that's wise Logan? Do we win by killing them? All we do is make more martyrs, Reavers...Prime Sentinels...by doing that. If we act like what they say we are...we can never beat them. Never be free." Johnny said to him as he looked at Dazzler. "And to coin a line from another man out of time Allison...where we're going...we don't get roads."
"But you are levitating a large chunk of driveway." Glob Herman pointed out.
"Just...get on and I'll be the ride." Johnny said.

"What a grump." uttered Dazzler before turning to Johnny. "Man... with you around, some of our students wouldn't even have to pay the bus fare."

"You don't think I am mad Logan? Disappointed in my fellow Americans? I didn't nearly die in World War II for this. But we can't lose what makes us strong. What makes us heroes." Johnny looked at him. "If we just give into the hate ourselves, it will never go away until enough blood is shed that only one side remains."
"And what is wrong with that?" Magneto looked down.
"That means we will force the haters into becoming unified Max. You will recreate a Nazi regime merely to oppose you. Hate begets hate. that is not our way. As tempting as it is...we have to show we are not them, and I will fight you to the last if you try to Max. not because they deserve it...but because such a thing is beneath you."
Magneto went silent.
Johnny then looked at Dazzler. "Well if we can ignore the property damage aspect of it....maybe."
Glob Herman looked worried.
"Scared?" Johnny asked the kid.
"Not for me. I'm stronger than them physically. They try burning me...they're in for trouble." Glob said.
"That implies we'll let them last that long." Johnny sped himself up a bit.
"DES-TROY!!!"
Catching up to them were Marrow and Rover. "We saw you all together...what happened?"
"A hate group has the professor, Ororo and Jean." Johnny said.
Rover was silent for a second before pointing at a direction. "DES-TROY!!" He said before taking off towards it.
"It seems it found them." Magneto was not thrilled.
Johnny paused the sphere.
"What are you..." Glob asked before the field began to spark with power.
"I am coming guys. TK FASTBALL SPECIAL GUYS!!! BRACE YOURSELVES!!" He figured out what building Rover was pointing at...and fired them at him. The began to cushion the field around them. "This will keep you all safe."

"Found the ones who took the Prof, or the ones who ran off with my car?" asked Dazzler. "The ones with your car... I can sense their trail. The Klansmen who made off with the Professor used a portal, so it's impossible to track them." said Thunderbird. "Well then, hon... lemme give 'em a lesson... I love interrogatin' an uncooperative accomplice." said Rogue with a smirk. "Ahmma beat 'em up till they squeal lahk pigs in the slaughter."

"We'll force them to talk." Johnny said as the barrier crashed into the side of the building. "X-Men!!! TAKE THEM DOWN!!!" He said as the slab touched down and the barrier dropped.
Glob Herman got up and ran, clotheslining a guy. "EAT DICKS!!!"
A bone blade stuck in a man's arm as Marrow dropped in. "Come on Logan, let's show them Weapon X can play nice." She said pulling another from her back and charging.
"DES-TROY!!!" Rover said firing a stun blast from his hand, incapacitating two guys caught in it.
Magneto slowly floated down and took the nails he collected and fired a few deep into the legs of charging men. "Taste the metal born of your own hatred."
Johnny got up and pulled a guy in. "I will make you a deal, you point out the boss here, and i will spare you the indignities of lacking a dental plan."
The man pointed.

"I will make you a deal, you point out the boss here, and i will spare you the indignities of lacking a dental plan." The man pointed. "IT'S 'EM MUTANTS!!! SHOOT 'EM!!!" yelled a Klansman before the others started firing. Wolverine pounced on another man and started punching him brutally while yelling, leaving his face full of bruises. He then tossed him aside. Some of the men were hit by the nails and fell down. Francis angrily punched a Klansman in the face. Dazzler ran in and fired light bolts as two Klansmen near her car. "This'll teach you to mess with my stuff." said Dazzler. Rogue was with Johnny and looked to where the Klansman pointed. "Ah got him!!!" said Rogue before running and pouncing on the Klansman in charge. "Nao, sugah... tell us where Professor Xavier is." The Klansman didn't speak. "Oh, a shy one, huh? Ah lahk shy bois." said Rogue before she started laying down the law on the uncooperative Klansman.

Johnny punched out the pointer. "Hold him steady Rogue. I would rather you not try to do your other thing to him." Johnny attempted to reach into his mind.
Magneto crushed a weapon and smashed it into the man's face. "It is like swatting flies."
Herman was decking guy after guy as he ran.

Magneto crushed a weapon and smashed it into the man's face. "It is like swatting flies." Herman was decking guy after guy as he ran. "Okay, sugah... ah'll hold 'im fer ya." said Rogue. The Klansman struggled as he was being probed. He was trying hard to repress the knowledge he had in him. "I CALL UPON THE SPIRIT OF THE GREAT GRIZZLY!!!" uttered Thunderbird before he turned into a Grizzly and swatted more Klansmen while Nightcrawler teleported around, confusing other Klansmen. Francis changed into Video-Man and started scaring away Klansmen with his rays. He was angry. Dazzler looked at him and then turned to Wolverine. "I'm worried that after this, Francis might pull off a Becky Bartay after this. You remember her, right?" asked Dazzler. "Yeah... that kid lost someone close to her during a mission and ran away." said Wolverine. "And is now an actress with a very reclusive private life. Nobody other than us knows she's a mutant and I get the feeling she might want to forget it due to the loss of Sid." said Dazzler.
