……Ten years have passed since the infamous accounts on Alcatraz Island. Many lives were lost on that day, lives that will always be remembered, always be cherished, and always be feared. The ‘cure’, which was to be the turning point of the mutant community, was distributed for months after the events in clinics and hospitals around the globe. Thousands upon thousands of nature’s choice to be different lined up and took the serum. An uproar in the Brotherhood with the loss of both Mystique and Magneto put a young John Allerdyce in charge. The Xavier Institute although adamant about keeping their doors open to anyone who wanted to bring themselves to learn about their mutation and survive without the cure, struggled emotionally with the loss of three very important members. The pain of losing Jean Grey, Scott Summers, and Charles Xavier was too much for the young Ororo Munroe. She left the school in search of a means of peace with the hopes of returning and taking her rightful place as headmistress of the school.
But times change and nature[/b][/font] will once again get her revenge[/b][/font] ; for the cure was not permanent and the mutant community would grow exponentially once again. The likes of Raven Darkholme and Eric Lehnsherr were not heard from, but they were back, quietly waiting their time to return to the home they once knew. As news began to spread throughout the world of the government’s failure at creating a gene suppressing drug, it soon began to fall apart even further. The president, John Kelly, who was elected to a second term, was assassinated. The Vice President Patrick Daughty, close personal friend to Hank McCoy, took the oath of Commander and Chief, trying to regain its power once more. Failure to regain control of the people and the division of mutants with humans would become a more difficult task since now the government was deemed all but a failure in itself.
More riots and chaos slowly began to riddle the communities of Westchester and beyond while a silent new threat began his quest to become the most powerful, most served, and most admired mutant the world has even known. A genius who just keeps quiet in an underground facility, growing his army, growing his followers, while continuing his research for the perfect mutant. With Jean Grey and Scott Summers gone, an eternal hatred has grown for the healing mutant named Wolverine. Other mutant groups are beginning to grow in the midst of District X, ones that could wipe out entire communities, even cities.
All mutants have a choice as to where they will make their stand. It is up to each and every one of us to determine the future of generations yet to come. The School for the Gifted offers hope and a dream where mutants and humans will live together in harmony. The Brotherhood offers sanctuary, knowledge and fortitude that the human race needs to be eliminated. The Devil’s Legion offer a one way ticket to serve their king, and be granted pleasures beyond their wildest imaginations giving all that they have to a man called Sinister. The world is on the brink of yet another war, one that is going to decide the fate of both human and mutants alike……
…….who will you stand with?[/b][/font]
