 * Issue 15 - 'All I Wanna Do (Is Have Some Fun)' **




 * Plot**

A group of sophomores go through a “normal” school day at Academy X. The students are made up of Gunther (he can sense and communicate with spirits; he also hosts the spirit of Vidarr, the Norse god of vengeance); Kyron, an Atlantean/human hybrid mutant (he has superhuman strength, limited invulnerability, the ability to breathe both air and water, slowed aging, and wings-like appendages on his ankles allowing flight); Amanda (she has the ability to sense magic, plus she has found a powerful artifact called the Wand of Watoomb which can project and absorb mystical energy, create force fields, control weather, open dimensional portals, grant ESP, and heal wounds); Taz (a speedster); Toxin (a Morlock with the ability to create toxins/diseases) and Dondre Cook (he can tunnel through the earth). The sophomores realize that something is wrong at the school. First Gunther sees the spirit of a girl begging to be freed. Then Dondre sees an e-mail from Dane to Bastienne about a girl being held prisoner in the basement. Later the psychic twins in their grade say they can sense the girl and her cries for help. Amanda uses the Wand of Watoomb to view the basement via her ESP and discovers the girl trapped in a sub-basement below the Danger Room. She also notices that the room has sustained recent damage and that parts of the metal shell have fallen apart, leaving an earthen gap behind. The group decides to do some reconnaissance and Dondre creates a tunnel down to the sub-basement. There the group sees a girl chained to the wall. Moments later, Danger Room robots who were guarding the room attack. During the battle, Gunther transforms into Vidarr and takes out one of the robots with his spear. The robots stun Dondre and another student. Toxin moves next to the girl, which seems to awaken her. Her body disappears as she possesses Toxin. Unknown to the group, the “girl” was actually a psychic fragment of Cassandra Nova. Next Nova moves into Amanda. Using the wand, she creates a portal and disappears. The group, fearing for Amanda, follows her. They arrive on a beach where Jubilee is spending some time alone. Nova has already taken over Jubilee’s body and Amanda is lying comatose at her feet. The possessed Jubilee creates a large bubble of explosive energy when the group attacks. The sophomores manage to hurt Jubilee slightly, but not before the bubble of energy has grown large enough to vaporize everyone. Moments before the bubble explodes, Amanda awakens and creates another portal. Everyone but Gunther runs through to safety. The resulting explosion kills Gunther and causes Amanda’s portal to misfire. The group ends up in a neighborhood outside San Francisco. They appear in the middle of a street. On the sidewalk they see several students from Academy M: MGH-powered “Blink,” “Jean Grey,” “Surf,” “Vortex,” “Glimmer,” and “Thunderbird.” The students from Magneto’s school attack. For a while the battle is close until Dondre knocks out two of Magneto’s students. “Jean Grey” is left alone. She psychically wakes up “Blink”, who teleports them away. The group goes back through the portal to find Gunther dead and Jubilee gone. Standing there is Vidarr, however. Due to Gunther's death he is no longer trapped inside the boy. Vidarr swears vengeance for Gunther and chases after Jubilee Nova. The sophomores call their teachers, who arrive to take them back to the school. But now Cassandra Nova is on the loose in Jubilee's body...
