Westminster Community....Underground Cave

Henry: QWAN! QWAN! 

Danny: Henry, what are you doing? Where's Qwan?

Henry: He ran away.

Danny: What? Why?

Henry: I...I don't know. He said something about not being a true leader.

Danny: And he just went off just like that? That's just not him.

Henry: I got to find him, Danny.

Danny: Henry, we don't have time to look for him. We need to get out of here. Ok.

Henry: But...

Danny: Henry, Qwan will be alright. Ok. I'm sure of it. I know he will come back.

Henry: But...how do you know?

Danny: Trust me. I know.

Meanwhile.....

CRUMBLE!

Sharon: Oh my god, look at this place. The mayor's office....

Christy: I know what you mean. Who ever did this?

Lucy: Beats me.

Sharon: Not just that. The whole town got burned up. What went wrong here?

Lucy: Yeah I know. Isn't that horrible, Jake? Jake?

Jake: Huh? Oh, yeah right.

Lucy: What happened, Jake? What's the matter?

Jake: No, it's just Tom. I've been thinking of him.

Lucy: Jake, I know. I'm worried too.

Jake: Lucy, we got to do something. Tom's in danger. Who knows what those U-Men guys might do to him?

Lucy: Jake, calm down.

Jake: How can I calm down? We have to save him.

Lucy: Jake....

Sharon: Jake, listen. You need to calm down. We'll work something out.

Jake: No...you don't understand. I...have to save him.

Lucy: Jake....

Jake: I have to....

Flashback.....Farm 

Tom: Hey Jake. I'm glad you're here.

Jake: Yeah. I just came back from work. So what's up?

Tom: Oh nothing much. I was just....waiting for you.

Jake: Tom, did you hypnotize me by any chance?

Tom: What? No, I would never do that. Why do you ask?

Jake: Well, there were other mutants who doesn't even trust you. Including my co-workers.

Tom: Jake, for goodness sake, I never hypnotize anyone in this town. 

Jake: Tom, I overheard other mutants saying that you forced one of my co-workers to steal food.

Tom: I never allowed anyone to steal.

Jake: Look, I don't know what to believe.

Tom: Is this why you came here? To tell me all this?

Jake: I didn't came here to blame you. Ok. I just want to know if you did control anyone to do things for you.

Tom: Great! No one trusts me! Not even you.

Jake: Hey, I do trust you. It's just that....I'm not even sure whether you hypnotize or not.

Tom: You know what? Why don't you get out from here? I don't think you trust me.

Jake: Hey man, that's not true. I'm being honest here.

Tom: Just go. Ok? Leave me alone. 

Jake: Tom...I....

Tom: No Jake, just....go.

Present.....

Christy: Jake, are you ok?

Tom: Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for asking me. 

Sharon: Lucy, I don't want to say this but....is Jake....you know.

Lucy: What are you trying to say?

Sharon: I mean Jake is like....Northstar.

Lucy: Northstar? Why are you mentioning him all of a sudden? Oh....I see.

Sharon: Sorry, I didn't want to reveal too much about him. 

Lucy: No, it's ok. But I'm sure Jake will be fine. I guess.

Jake (thought): Tom, where are you?

Somewhere in the underground cave......

ZZZZZZZZZZZZAP!

Tom: Ahhhhhhh!

U-Man 1: Well mutie, how do you like that? Eh?

Tom: Wait...I'll get....you for this. 

U-Man 2: HA HA HA HA! What's the matter, mutie? Can't use your snake eyes against us?

Tom: Shut...up.

ZZZZZZZZZZZAP!

Tom: Ahhhhh!

U-Man 2: I'll eat your liver soon. How about I fry it up like a rotten egg? 

John: That's enough.

U-Man 3: Well, look who's here. Our boss just came in.

John: Mind you tongue. You know what I'm capable of.

U-Man 1: You said we can work for you in exchange of mutant organs. Is this how you repay us? Don't forget our deal here.

U-Man 2: Yeah, big boss. I'm so hungry.

John: Sleep!

TAP!

U-Man 2: Uhhhh!

THUD!

U-Man 4: Hey! What is the meaning of this?

John: Don't worry. I just placed a thought in his head. He won't sleep for that long.

U-Man 1: You fool....

John: Don't you ever call me a fool. Understand?

U-Man 1: I wonder how your power wasn't able to affect us. I really need to understand it sooner the better.

John: You can't take what is mine. If you try anything on me, I'll surely kill five of you right here and now.

Tom: You....Who are you?

John: Well if you don't remember Tom....That I was the one who killed your parents.

Tom: What?

John: Yes, I forced them to tie themselves and later I used Nitro to blow them up.

Tom: No....it can't be.

John: It's true, Tom. Did you really think that I could stand a peaceful town who likes mutants that much? Oh I forgot...Nobody trusts you. Isn't it?

Tom: Shut...up. 

John: What did you say, Tom? Say it again. I would like to hear it.

Tom: I SAID SHUT UP!

BASH!

Tom: Ahhh!

U-Man 4: Why don't you just shut up for a change?

John: What did I just say? Enough is enough.

U-Man 1: Yeah, whatever you say. Mr. Big Boss.

John: That's more like it. Now then...Tom, I want you to work with me. I'm sure you will like it.

Tom: I'll....never work such bast**** like you.

John: I had a feeling that I'll have much harder time with you. In that case, I'll place a thought in your head that you'll never regret it.

Tom: Why don't you try me?

John: Good idea. I like your attitude. But I wonder what I should call you. Hmmmm. 

U-Man 5: How about Snake Eyes? He sure has those wonderful eyes even though he doesn't possess the eyes of an actual snake. 

John: No, Snake Eyes is a G.I.Joe character. I would rather call him Snake. Yes, that's more like it. Snake. So Tom, how do you like your codename?

Tom: I don't...care what you do to me. Whatever you do, I'll hypnotize you so that I can bring you down to hell.

John: You're right about one thing, Tom. Whatever I do to you, you wouldn't work for me. You know why? Because you don't trust me. That means I don't trust you. No one trusts you.

Tom: Huh. We'll see about that.

John: Relax Tom. This gonna hurt a bit. Are you ready?

Tom: I'll kill you, mister. You'll pay for what you did to my parents. I swear.

John: I wonder if that will ever happen. Now....Once I touch your head, you will never remember anything what happened here including your past. You will only work for me. Got it?

U-Man 1: Are you sure about this? This must be a mistake.

John: No, it won't be. You'll see.

Tom: I'll kill you. Do you hear me? I'LL KILL YOU. I'LL...

John: Relax Tom. Everything will be fine.

Tom: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.....

Westminster Community.....

Greg: Hello? Anyone? Crap! I hope they're ok.

Mike: Greg, they are fine. I can sense their thoughts.

Greg: What really? 

Mike: Yes...Put me down.

Greg: Yeah man, sure.

Mike: Ah...my head. It gets fuzzy often.

Greg: I know the feeling, man. My head gets fuzzy too whenever there's an explosion.

Mike: I see. But what can you do? Ah yes. You can produce explosive bursts.

Greg: Yeah. Man, you do sound like Sharon.

Mike: Sharon...Never heard of her.

Greg: C'mon man. Let's go and find....

Sharon: Greg! GREG!

Greg: Is that what I can think it is? Sharon?

Mike: I think it's her. Yes, it's her alright.

Greg: SHARON! YO SHARON! WE'RE HERE!

Mike: I don't sense Qwan's thought here.

Greg: Yo what?

Henry: Greg, we're glad to see you.

Christy: Yeah, what happened here?

Greg: Yo man, where is Qwan?

Danny: He ran away. Somewhere I guess. 

Greg: He what? Why would he do that?

Christy: Beats me.

Greg: Sharon, do you know why?

Sharon: Hey! Don't look at me. I wasn't close enough with Qwan. We were running from the cave.

Greg: Where's Hide? He went too?

Christy: Greg, Hide is.....

Sharon: Hide is dead, Greg. The cave got collapsed. Hide was...then crushed.

Greg: No way man. That can't...be.

Danny: Greg, I'm sorry. We tried to save him.

Greg: Damn it, man. Where the hell did Qwan go? Henry! Where did he go? What's wrong with him?

Henry: I don't know. I wanted to find him. But...I just...

Greg: Just what man? Huh? You tell me. Your brother comes up with great plans and now he ditches us?

Danny: Greg, calm down. I'm sure he'll be back.

Greg: How can you be so sure? Seriously man, this womps.

Lucy: Enough already! Look here, guys. We really need to think of something how to save Tom and find this Qwan of yours.

Danny: I don't that will be a good idea.

Lucy: Why not? I mean Mike here can hear their thoughts. Can't he? Mike?

Mike: I'm not sure if I can pick up their thoughts. But...Ahhhh!

Jake: Mike? Mike? What's wrong?

Mike: No...I'm feeling dizzy all of a sudden. My body...is....Ahhh!

Sharon: Oh...no.

Lucy: Sharon, what is it?

Sharon: Mike's body is accelerating. 

Jake: Accelerating? What are you talking about?

Sharon: I..just don't know. He's turning into something that I'm not even sure of. But I can tell you that he's a Omega-level mutant.

Danny: Really? Like Nate Grey?

Sharon: Yeah.

Mike: Ahh! She's...right. I think I'm going to evolve into something...Ahh!

Lucy: Then we got to do something. How can we help him?

Mike: Wait. I....Ah...I think I know where to find help.

Lucy: Where? 

Mike: We have to go to the snow mountains. I heard that an abandoned Weapon X facility used to be there.

Greg: How do you know that?

Mike: Because I was there. 

Christy: You were captured? No way.

Mike: Yes....Let's go there. I'm sure we can find something. 

Danny: But wait a minute...Wasn't Logan part of the Weapon X program? 

Sharon: So?

Danny: No, I was just wondering. Because I heard a lot of rumors that Logan was part of a dangerous experiment. There were also other mutants captured there.

Sharon: Danny, those rumors are true.

Lucy: Anyways guys, we have to go. We're wasting our time here.

Mike: She's...right. I'm not even sure how much time I have.

Jake: Quit saying that. Geez! We'll find something, ok.

Sharon: What are you hoping to find there?

Mike: Some cure. I believe the Weapon X has a cure for my body. I know it.

Lucy: Mike, what happened here? Who caused this explosion?

Mike: It was Nitro. 

Christy: What? Him? But what was he doing here?

Greg: I don't know, man.  

Mike: Something tells me that we have a strong enemy to face. But I can't sense his thought. I think we're dealing with a powerful mutant here. 

Danny: I was afraid you're going to say that.

Sharon: Henry, are you going to be ok?

Henry: Yeah. You must have already known that I was thinking of Qwan.

Sharon: Henry, don't worry. He'll be back. Ok.

Henry: Yeah, I know.

Somewhere outside the Westminster Community.....

Nitro: Help me....Someone help me.

THUD!

Nitro: Help....me.

John: Don't worry, Robert. I'll take good care of you.

Nitro: Who...are you? Do I know you? Am I dreaming?

John: No, you're not.

Nitro: How do you know my real name? 

John: I know everything about you. 

Nitro: Wait a minute. I know...you. I have seen you before. You used to control....

John: Relax, Robert. I can help you. I'll get rid of your power.

Nitro: Get rid of my power? Can you...do that?

John: Yes, I can. Let me touch your head and forget all the bad things which you have done. You will be a normal person. Do you understand me, Robert?

Nitro: Yes, I...understand.

John: Good, let me help you.

5 hours later.....Westminster Community.

RRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

RRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

THUD! THUD! THUD!

MRD squad leader: C'mon, let's go. Move it.

MRD soldier 1: Crap! What happened here? The whole place blew up or something.

Seek: Hide! Hide!

MRD soldier 1: Hey look, this mutie here keeps on saying Hide. 

MRD soldier 2: Yeah, I wonder.

Seek: I don't sense them. They are not hiding anymore.

MRD soldier 1: What? 

Seek: It's true. 

MRD soldier 2: You got to be kidding me. So that means they gave up running?

Seek: No, Hide is...I think something happened to my brother.

MRD soldier 1: We better check this out. Sir! Sir!

MRD squad leader: Yes, what is it?

MRD soldier 1: Seek just said that Hide is....dead. I think.

MRD soldier 3: Sir, you better come quick. The mayor's office....was destroyed.

MRD squad leader: Move out people. We don't want to stand here all night long.

CRRRRRRR!

MRD squad leader: Sir?

Director Stash: Well...what do you have for me?

MRD squad leader: Sir, the Westminster Community was blown up.

Director Stash: What? 

MRD squad leader: Yes sir. We are looking for any survivors. But Seek had a sense that Hide is here.

Director Stash: I see. Then...go and find out. Report back to me at once.

MRD squad leader: Yes sir. Over and out.

10 minutes later....Mayor's Underground Cave

CRUMBLE! CRUMBLE!

MRD soldier 4: Sir, we found Hide's body. What can we do?

Seek: Hide? Hide!

MRD squad leader: Ok. We need to take Hide's body away from here.

CRRRRRRR!

MRD squad leader: Sir! Hide is dead. We're taking his body. Request for permission.

Director Stash: I see. Hmmmm. Permission granted. Dr. Frank would be pleased to check on Hide. I'll see you at the facility. And yes...cancel the search for any survivors. I don't think anyone exists in Westminster Community anymore.

MRD squad leader: Yes sir! Ok men. You heard the man. Take his body and let's move out.

MRD soldiers: Yes sir!

Seek: Hide, I finally found you.
