Chapter 1 [Time Change]

[Smeagollum]

X-Men
A NEW FORCE
TIME CHANGE

SHORT SUMMARY:

Ben Michaels left because he was sad. Kira got a painting and decided to save him from being zombie-fied. Krystal showed Kira were Jack was. Fight. Kira, her clone, and Pryo all when away. Gambit, Darius, and Calista arrived. Fight. Krystal gave her life for Calista. Fight. Remorse. Blaming of self from multiple people.

Shawn comes in to save the day ("I can time travel... Who-Hoo!"). Professor gives a thumbs up, and Calista goes back in time with Shawn to save Krystal. The plan worked... for once, and Krystal was saved, but everyone still blames themselves for everything...

Kira fights herself. Pyro gets arrested. Kira almost drowns.

Magneto, Melody, and Storm can think again. Way to go Professor. Austin sets out to save Jack... stupidly. They both run away.... luck of the draw. A bunch of people get taken, but freed from Sylar's men.

Kira runs into an illusionist who helps her get into jail. "Pyro, let me get you out of here." "No." "Do you love me?" "No." "Why not?" "Because I am trying to save your life, ok? Stop being a girl and questioning every move I make... geez." Kira leaves, but gets captured. Pyro: "Just perfect." Skylar reveals some plans. "MAWHAHAHA. I win."

The X-Men with the Professor meet some guy named Edward who can make illusions. He tells them about Kira, and Xavier decides to have Wolverine and Gambit go and get Pyro, and everyone else to cool their jets and rest. The professor being the only person anyone really listens to, everyone did just what he said and rested, for now.

Kira got thrown in a furnance, but it's ok because she has fire power.

LONG SUMMARY:

After Ben Michaels had run away, Kira Marshall was determined to find him and save him from Jack because of a painting she had gotten from "The Future". Therefore, she convinced Krystal to show her where Jack's hideout was, and Krystal agreed as long as she would be able to go with her.

Kira and Krystal, then, left to save Ben, with Pyro following secretly behind. They all reached the place where Jack was, and ran into Ben, who introduced his new friends: Dan and Tess (who are twins that have the power to make things explode when they are together). Kira tried to get Ben to come home and not be attacked by Jack, but, in the middle of the conversation, Jack made himself known and brought out his zombies of Kira's Clone and Darius's Clone to fight against the group.

Meanwhile, at the new mansion, Gambit heard about Kira leaving, and he was talking with Darius and Calista about going. Darius and Calista told Gambit that he would not be able to go without them, so, after a good heart-to-heart conversation, all three of them left and ran into the group as they were fighting Darius's clone.

Before Gambit, Darius, and Calista had arrived, Kira and Kira's clone had flown off with Pyro running on foot behind. Then, when they arrived, Jack brought out Melody and Storm to fight against the newcomers. The fight continued for a bit with the only real eventful thing happening being that Krystal sacrificed her life to save Calista. Jack was captured also.. but he is the bad guy, and who didn't see that coming?

But, one thing I bet you didn't see coming, and the reason I dubbed this section "Time Change" was that, at this moment, Shawn, a time traveler, came into the picture. He proposed a plan to the X-Men to save Krystal, and, not wanting to agree on an emotional whim, they decided to go to the professor.

So, the whole group went back, all of the X-Men, Dan and Tess, Shawn, Jack, and the zombies. To speak to the Professor about going back in time to save Krystal.

Even though he didn't fully like the idea of changing time, Xavier's compassion for his students won over, and he agreed that, if anyone was willing, Shawn would be able to take someone back in time to save Krystal in exchange for a date.

Calista agreed, and, because the fight is pretty much the same, I will say the only thing that is different. Jack summoned Melody, Storm, and Magneto this time. Krystal didn't die, aka Houston, we do not have a problem, and everyone was happy... and didn't blame themselves... oh wait... not true. Still blamed themselves. We have got to get some antidepressants for some of these guys.

The group returned back to the mansion, happy that Krystal was alive, but still keeping a close eye on her while Xavier freed the minds of Melody, Storm, and Magneto, and everyone started to wonder what in the world was happening to Kira...

...so, for Kira, she and her clone had been battling that night. They both ended up in a small town, where the clone set the bank on fire and shoved Kira into the water, trying to drown her. The clone was soon captured by Skylar when she believed that Kira was a goner (joke's on her), and Kira was left as a bobber in the water, to float to shore on some rumble that night. Pyro had run into town after the two Kira's and fought to find out which Kira Skylar had captured when he soon was arrested for lighting the bank on fire and being a mutant.

That next morning, Kira woke up, not sure of where he was, and was guided to a nearby diner by a lifeguard. There she had breakfast and found out about the fight and Pyro's arrest the night before on the morning news. Immediately leaving the diner, Kira sought out the mutant holding center and ran into a mutant named Edward. His ability is Illusion. He told Kira where the mutant jail was and helped her get inside.

In the jail, Kira found Pyro and wanted to help him escape, but, being stubborn and not wanting to sacrifice his ego, Pyro wouldn't like her help and told her to go away. When leaving, Kira asked if Pyro liked her, and, not knowing how to respond (and wanting Kira to just leave and not get caught) Pyro told her no, shattering Kira's vulnerable heart. Sulking, Kira slowly walked down the halls to leave, but ran into a guard and was captured by Skylar.

After Melody, Storm, and Magneto were free, the group was trying to figure out what to do with Jack. During this conversation, Austin, Jack's stupid assistant, took hold of Dan and threatened to shoot him unless Jack was released. Austin did shoot Dan in the shoulder, but was soon captured, and it wasn't until Jack convinced the X-Men that Krystal was being held captive by his zombies that he and Austin were able to escape.

In truth, Krystal wasn't being held by zombies, but, rather, by Skylar's men, who then proceeded to capture a fair amount of the X-Men. They left in a van with their prisoners, but Nightcrawler and Krystal were able to stop the van and help everyone escape. Also, one of Skylar's men was captured, and revealed to some of the X-Men that Skylar had a mutant testing facility about 10 miles from there.

All of the X-Men were able to be reunited (and Shawn left), with the new addition of Edward, who brought up that he was looking for Kira and told the group about her going into the mutant jail and coming out unconscious. Worried about Kira, many of the X-Men wanted to leave that moment, feeling that it was there fault Kira was were she was. Although, Xavier stopped them and is instructing only Wolverine and Gambit to leave and get Pyro from jail and the rest of the group to rest.

To end with the complicated story of Prya. Pyro saw the guards carry the unconscious Kira out of the jail, and he went to sleep soon after only to see what he believed to be the dead body of Kira when he woke up. Skylar saw the boy from his surveillance, and he talked to Pyro for a few moments before returning to the security room and revealing that he was going to blame Pyro for the murder of Kira and punish him by taking away his powers with a test formula.

Kira woke up in a cell in the laboratory that one of Skylar's men spoke about to Darius, and, inside the cell with her, was the dead body of.. herself. Looking at the shoulder of the body and her own shoulder, Kira is going through an identity crisis in not knowing whether she is the clone or the real Kira.

Not soon after, a guard came up and dragged Kira out of her cell and carried her downstairs to the second in command. When Kira didn't listen to the second in command, she was brought down even more stairs when she was thrown into a "furnance", as part of the testing process (which hasn't been revealed yet), for a few hours before she is taken back up and thrown into her cell, and her "clone" was once more put near Pyro's cell to accuse him of the murder of Kira Marshall.
