XAVIER'S SCHOOL FOR GIFTED YOUNGSTERS
"Warren, are you okay?" Chad asked.
"I need some air," Warren said before running out of the office.
"What's wrong with him?" Chad asked the people remaining in Xavier's office.
"Chad, Warren and Apocalypse have some history together. He was once one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. He was in charge of helping to bring the end of the world. Luckily, after we battled Apocalypse years ago, Warren chose our side, the good side." Storm told Chad.
"Chad, I need to tell you something," Xavier said, "I firmly believe we will end up battling Mezmero and I want to know if you'll be okay with this."
"NO," Chad screamed, "You promised that I would never have to see him again." Chad got up and ran to the door. Jean blocked it from opening. Chad closed eyes and the door melted. He walked over the puddle and the door returned to its natural form.
Chad ran to Warren's room with tears in his eyes. Chad went up to Warren and buried his face in his strong chest. "What's wrong?" Warren asked.
"Warren, everything," Chad cried, "I can't face Mezmero. I can't!"
"I have faith in you."
"You don't realize. My powers might be strong now, but he can turn them off in the blink of an eye. He can implant illusions in your mind that will make you wish you were dead."
Warren and Chad broke the ice with each other. Warren told Chad all about his past. In return, Chad told Warren the details about his past. The two of them cried together.
"Warren, you have to realize why I can't go through with this," Chad said.
"I understand. I'm not exactly giddy about facing him either but the only way you can face your inner demons and know that you are safe is if you destroy him. After Midnight in the solstice, he will be no more."
"Warren, if Mezmero controls my mind, I'll have no choice."
"Yes you will. You always have a choice. A very wise old man once told me that. I didn't believe him then, but now I am looking at you and I know that he's right."
Chad thought about this for a few minutes. He got up and left Warren's room in route to Professor Xavier's office. All the way down Warren's words ran through his head `you always have a choice'. If his powers were strong enough, all he had to do was destroy Mezmero and then not offer a sacrifice to Apocalypse and then no one would ever have to go through this again.
HOLIDAY INN, WESTCHESTER N.Y.
Mezmero checked into the hotel and immediately got to work. He searched every mind in the city for his little run away. As long as the sacrifice was on the altar at midnight on the solstice, Mezmero didn't care if Chad was alive or dead.
After a few minutes of searching, he found what he was looking for. His suspicions were correct. Xavier had taken him in.

Chad was standing outside Professor X's office. He took a deep breath and walked in. "Professor, I'm ready."
"What are you ready for?" Xavier asked, even though he knew.
"I am ready to face Mezmero. Warren and I talked for a long time."
"I'm glad to hear that, Chad. I have a job for you if you want it." Xavier replied.
"Sure, what is it?"
"I would like you to teach a new class I am going to offer here at the institute. It will be called Mutant Genetics 101. You will teach the students how we get our abilities and other mutations. Are you up to it?"
"I think I am, Professor." Chad said before hurrying out to tell Warren the good news.
As Chad was walking to his room he was lost in thought he didn't notice the girl and he accidentally bumped in to her. "I am so sorry." Chad said as he helped her with her things. "Its ok hey your Chad right." Kade said as she looked at the boy. She thought he was cute but she knew he was gay.
"How do you know who I am," he said. "I heard my dad talk about you. Oh by the way I'm Kade McCoy Hank's daughter and I know I don't have blue fur." She said as she smiled at him. Just then Kitty and Jubilee came walking in to the hall.
"Well, well if it's not the boyfriend snatcher." She said really rude "You know I can just tell Peter I saw you making out with the new rookie and he will dump you like a snap." She said.
"He wouldn't believe you Kitty why don't you go and kiss your new boyfriend and leave me alone if you don't you know you will get in to trouble." Kade said as she looked down and she concentrated on her powers and she looked up and her eyes had change colors "If I were you Jubilee I wouldn't hang with her." Kade said.
Kitty walked away after she pushed Kade, or tried to. "What is her problem?" Chad said as he looked at Kade and he was sort of scared of the girl. "Peter her boyfriend you know the tall mutant well he found out she was seeing some one else and he broke up with her and he found me one day and I fell in love with him and we've been an Item every since. Kitty hated me for taking him away from her." Kade said.
"So I've noticed that you've been hanging around Warren, let me tell you warren has had a hard time in life just like I have Just don't go hurting him he's angel." Kade said.
"So I've noticed. Kade what is your code name and power." Chad asked the girl.
"I'm Tigress. I have a long list of powers. Like Mrs. Grey, I can read people's minds and I also can talk to Peter with out moving my lips. I can astral project my body, but don't ever move my body! Once, Kitty did that and I had a hard time remembering who I was. That was the straw that broke the camel's back with Peter. Kitty is still on probation for that one. Now when I use that gift, someone has to be with me to watch over me. Peter makes sure no one hurts me. I have a 2nd mutation we just found out about. When I touch any kind of cat the DNA gets in me and I can change in to that cat." She said.
"Cool powers." He said as they were walking to Warren's room. "I know. If you see any type of Cat in here, that's me. Sometimes I love to just be a cat. It helps me calm down. I sometimes turn in to a blue female version of dad. He hates it. But hey, my dad is my hero." She said.
Chad couldn't help notice she never talked about her mother and he felt like it was a sore subject with her.
"I know what you're thinking. Sorry, but Jean needs to teach you to shield your thoughts. "Let's just say my mom got what was coming to her for what she did to me and dad." Kade said.
"Hey, if you need me just call me. I'm there for you to talk to and for a shoulder to cry on. I'll see you in class and training," He said as he saw Warren head their way.
"Hey Warren," Kade said before morphing. She hit him with her tail.
"Kade you better behave." He said laughing. Kade showed her teeth. She growled like she was smiling and laughing.
"Some girl Kade is." Chad said.
"Yeah she hasn't been here too long already she is a part of the family." Warren replied, "Chad if you ever need to talk to some one you can talk to Kade. Everybody here is helpful, but I advise you to stay away from Kitty. she is in pissed off mode."
MEZMERO'S ISLAND, APOCALYPSE'S CHAMBER
<Do you have the sacrifice prepared?> Apocalypse asked his servant 1000s of miles away.
<Not yet, master. I'm working on it.> Mezmero replied.
<WHAT!?> Apocalypse yelled, <HOW HARD IS IT TO CATCH ONE ADOLESCENT? BRING HIM TO ME NOW!>
<I'm sorry, master, but it will take time,> Mezmero said back.
<DO NOT ARGUE WITH ME. THE HOUR OF MY RETRUN GROWS NEAR. BRING HIM TO ME OR YOU WILL CEASE TO EXIST!> Apocalypse demanded and closed the link connecting his mind with Mezmero's.
XAVIER'S SCHOOL FOR GIFTED YOUNGSTERS
Chad was in his bed. Today had been very strange. Almost like a roller coaster. He felt safe now.
He felt safe until he saw an old acquaintance. <Hello, Chad> a familiar voice filled his head. Chad tried to scream out but Mezmero controlled him. He couldn't move on his own.
Chad tried to use his ability and molecularize him. Mezmero had already blocked his powers. Mezmero put a bony hand on Chad's arm and then opened a portal. Mezmero dragged Chad through it. On the other side he had only seen once before. Apocalypse's Chamber.
MEZMERO'S ISLAND
"Make yourself at home. You won't have much time to enjoy it." Mezmero laughed manically
