Part 1:
 
 
   Professor Charles Xavier rolled down the silent empty halls of his
now empty " School for Gifted Younsters". The house seemed so big now
that all it's 'children' were gone. Warren, Hank, Bobby, Scott, Jean,
all of them had gone on to live new lives. The mansion had served as
both school and home to them, its serene walls hiding its true purpose,
that of a place for the training of mutants, feared and hated by those
they were sworn to protect.
 
 
   Prof. X wheeled into his study staring at the large leather bound
photo album that was on his desk. Over the last few days he had leafed
through the pages many times. Most of the pages showed his former
charges as ordinary students; other pages however revieled their other
identities. For the 5 of them had been known by other names, Angel,
Beast, Cyclops, Iceman, and Marvel Girl, the X-Men!
 
 
   They had fought the good fight, protecting innocents from evil men
and mutants who sought to enslave them or worse. More importantly they
had fought for a dream. A dream of mutant and human living as one. But
they were no longer children now. Each one of them had gone on to live
their own lives.
 
 
   Prof. X reached for the book and the memories it contained when the
mansions proximitry alarm woke him from his melancholy. Punching up a
visual screen andusing his formidable telepathic abilities Professor
Xavier relaxed. The video image confirmed the identity of his unexpected
guests. A lean muscular man followed by an attractive teenage girl, both
with tiny wings on their ankles flew over the mansion, then landed just
outside the mansions front door. While the girl was unknown to him Prof.
X knew the man well, Prince Namor of Atlantis, the Sub-Mariner!
 
 
   " Greetings Namor," Prof. X said," It is a pleasure to see you again
my friend. And this young lady is..."
 
 
   " The reason I am here," Namor stated," Forgive me Charles. This is
my cousin Namorita, like myself she is both human/Atlantean hybrid and a
mutant. Recently she has demonstrated new powers, powers that I do not
posses. I have no abilty in teaching her how best to develop and use her
powers."
 
 
   " I would be glad to help you Namor, but as you see, all my other
students are gone," Prof. X replied," I fear that your young cousin
would get rather lonely cooped up here alone. She would do best to be
with other young mutants."
 
 
   " Have you given thought to forming a team of X-Men Charles?," Namor
asked." I know how close you were to your first students, but there are
others like Namorita who need you. And, forgive me for you saying this
Charles, I think you need them."
 
 
   Charles Xavier's brow furrowed as he thought about Namor's words.
Indeed, Namor had rekindled a passion within him. He had been moping
around for weeks, plauged by self-pity. His dream however, was stronger
than any self-doubt.
 
 
   " Perhaps you are right Namor," Prof. X said, arare smile forming on
his lips," It is time for a new beginning. Welcome Miss Namorita, I
truly hope you will likeit here."
 
 
   " Please call me Nita professor," Namorita smiled," And please, no
silly code names like Amphibian Girl, or Mermaid Lass."
 
 
   Namor and Charles Xavier both were well known for their solemnity,
but even they laughed at Namorita's frankness and humor.
 
 
...................................
 
   Los Angelas, Ca.; one week later:
 
 
   Two warring gangs numbering nearly 100 on each side moved towards
each other at a deserted construction site. Both sides were heavily
armed. The 2 groups neared each other.
 
 
   " STOP! Desist and depart!, came a voice from above the street punks.
 
 
   Looking up, 20 feet above the young gangsters on some scaffolding
were 3 other young men. On the right was a lean tall Hispanic youth in a
torn t-shirt and faded jeans, barefoot. The boy on the right was a lanky
well built African-American, dressed head to toe in black including his
tennis shoes. In the middle dressed in a karate gi, also barefoot, was a
muscular young white male with blond hair, the one who had spoken. All 3
wore homemade masks.
 
 
   Gang members on both sides that had guns trained them on the new
interlopers, their own conflict forgotten. The boy in the karate outfit
waved his hand and all the guns flew out of the hands of the astonished
gangsters. The other 2 youths spang ito action as well in unusual ways.
Large wings sprouted from the back ofthe Hispanic boy, hands and feet
became razor sharp talons as he flew through the air slicing the
suspended guns to pieces. Meanwhile the young black youth zoomed among
the gang members at fantastic speeds collecting knives, brass knuckles,
pipes and other weapons.
 
 
   " Now, go home!," the blond haired boy said.
 
 
   " They're fuckin' muties! Get 'em!
 
 
   The talons on his hands morphed back into fists as the Hispanic boy
would swoop in, hit and fly away opponents. The black youth raced among
the midst of the gangs using his speed to strike. The blond male fought
several attackers at a time using an amazing ability of martial arts for
his age. On occasions he would also use his telekinetic abilities to aid
his friends. Within minutes the construction site was silent as the 3
friends stood alone.
 
 
   " All-right! Mission accomplished by the 'Terrific Trio'! These punks
will think twice about breaking the law next time," the blond said as
the 3 boys high-fived.
 
 
   " Too bad we can't put these guys in jail, every one of thems got a
record longer than my wingspan," the Hispanic said.
 
 
   " Yea, but except for them trying to waste each other and
tresspassing they weren't breaking any laws," the black youth said," If
we tried to haul them in we'd probably be the ones arrested."
 
 
   " I know, but we had to stop this fight. There's a school only 2
blocks from here, these gang fights can get out of control, if this
fight spilled over to there...," the blond shuddered leaving the
sentance incomplete. He didn't need to finish it.
 
 
   " Very impressive," a voice behind them said.
 
 
   Turning around the 3 young men saw a serious bald man in a
wheelchair. Behind him stood the prettiest girl that any of them had
ever seen. The blue eyes of the blond boy met the sea green eyes of the
girl. Invisible sparks flew.
 
 
   " Greetings Matt Rider, Billy Ray, Roberto Condoros. I am Professor
Charles Xavier and I would like to speak to you," Prof. X said.
 
 
................................
 
New York City; 3 days later:
 
 
 
   Tandy Bowen huddled herself up in a ball as the men entered the room
again. As usual, the doctor followed behind the leader with the ugly
scar down one side of his face. Behind the doctor were a dozen heavily
armed goons. Frightened tears formed in her eyes as she looked
desprately for some means of escape. There was none.
 
 
   Of the 12 runaways that the men had abducted only she and Tyrone
Johnson were still alive. It was a miracle that Tyrone was alive. He had
tried to protect Tandy from the the beginning and had suffered several
severe beatings as a result. Tandy felt ashamed of her fear. Tyrone had
done so much for her since they had met. Summoning her courage Tandy
tried to shield Tyrone with her body.
 
 
   " How sweet dearie, but very misplaced. He's expendable, it's you I
want," the doctor cackled as he produced a syringe filled with the same
drug that had killed the others.
 
 
   " No! Please let us go," Tandy begged as several of the goons lifted
her up, carrying her towards a grimy lab table.
 
 
   " S-s-stay a-away f-f-from her," Tyrone stuttered as he tried to
rise.
 
 
   The leader was no longer amused at Tyrone's attempted heroics. While
2 of his thugs held him the leader pulled out a glock.
 
 
   " Noooooo! Stop! I'll do anything you want," Tandy pleaded," Just
don't hurt him."
 
 
   The leader smiled as he lowered his gun. Tyrone spit in his face. A
mask of rage seized the leader as he emptied the 15 round clip in
Tyrone's face.
 
 
   " Noooooo! Tandy screamed, no longer concerned in the least for her
own safety as she tried to wriggle free in a hopeless attempt to reach
Tyrone.
 
 
   The goons strapped her down as the shock of Tyrone's death finally
hit her and she almost shut down. The doctor hovered over her as he
readied the injection. The leader stopped him before he could inject her
with the lethal drug.
 
 
   " Just a minute doc," the leader leered," Me and the boys wanna have
a little fun with her hot little bod first."
 
 
   This snapped Tandy back to reality. Despite her sheltered upbringing
she knew what these animals wanted to do to her.
 
 
   " Nooooo!," Tandy screamed with all the fear and rage she had.
Blinding lightflared from her body momentarily blinding them. Tandy
slumped back exhausted in her bonds, not even knowing what she had done.
 
 
   " The little cunts a fucking mutie!," the leader screamed as he tried
to clear his eyes," Kill the little bitch!"
 
 
   The south wall of the room shattered as super-strength, telekinisis,
razor sharp claws, and hundreds of punches on a singlespot combined.
 
 
   " More freaks! Kill them!," the leader ordered.
 
 
   A black clad form blurred in front of him taking his gun away. In a
haze Tandy watched as a boy with wings lifted 2 men up by feet that
looked more like the claws of an oversized bird of prey before dropping
them on top of others. She saw a girl with pointed ears pont and shoot
short lightning bolts from her fingers, then proceed to shrug off 3 men
like theywere raindrops,
 
 
   Tandy felt, rather than saw the black clad figure that seemed to be
everywhere at once. The leader pulled a knife on a handsome blond haired
boy, only to be disarmed and eat rapid fire punches and kicks. THE
doctor made a desperate lunge to inject Tandy with the syringe. The
blond youth tackled him from behind and started beating him severely
that it took all 3 of the others to pull him off.
 
 
   " Count yourself lucky that X-men don't kill slime," the blond said
as he spit on the unconcious scarface leader as he calmed down.
 
 
   " W-who are you?," the dazed Tandy asked as the ponted eared girl
snapped the heavy leather straps that held her like they were tissue
paper.
 
 
   " Don't be afraid, we're the X-Men," the blond smiled," I'm Midnight
Rider, that's Condor, Darkray, and Namorita."
 
 
   Tandy passed out. Tandy Bowen lay in a coma for 3 days. When sh awoke
Professor X told her that he had been trying to find her and Tyrone for
3 days since Cerebo had located them as mutants. Prof. X was very sorry
that thy had been unable to locate them in time to save Tyrone. Tandyhad
actually saved herself when she had unconciosly used her latent mutant
powers. After that they had been able to finally zero in on where she
was. Unfortunately too late for Tyrone.
 
 
   Calling herself Dagger after her light knives Tandy vowed to join the
X-Men to try and help others. Prof. X knew he had some students
dedicated to justice. Tandy fell in love with Matt Rider from the
beginning. But she also fell in love with the confident Namorita. This
worked out well oddly enough. Being Atlantean, Namorita didn't have the
hang-ups about bi-sexuality that most surface women had. To her it was
natural to be in love with Tandy and Matt both. Matt of course loved
both of them equally. Aint it grand to be young, mutant and in love?

Menace of the Mandarin

this part is rated NC-17
 
Part 2:
 
 
    A hidden fortress on an island just off the coast of China; 6 months
later:
 
   A beautiful oriental girl is strapped down to a lab table. Her
clothes are ripped from her body. Another woman, equally nude is
strapped down on the table next to her. The oriental woman studies her
surroundings as the men in lab coats leave. Her eyes look for any means
of escape. She looks at her fellow captive. The other woman was
European, about the same age as she was, yet with oddly natural blue
hair.
 
 
   A sinister looking man with a large red dragon tattoo'ed on his lower
abdomen entered the room flanked by several more men in lab coats. A
sneer of a smile was on his lips. This was the man that she had came
here to arrest, or if necessary kill. The master criminal known as the
Mandarin!
 
 
   " Her name is Betsy Braddock my dear Kwannon. I hope you like what
you see, because you two are going to know each other much better soon,"
the Mandarin sneered.
 
 
   " You bastard! I'm not going to play any sick fantasies of yours,"
Kwannon defiantly spat back.
 
 
   " Ah, you misunderstand my dear," Mandari evilly smiled," The
pleasures of the flesh hold little attraction for men like myself. Power
is what I crave! Power that the 2 of you will help me gain."
 
 
   " I'll never help you, you sick bastard! I'm a member of the Japan
Elite Division, sworn to stop slime like you," Kwannon continued in
defiance.
 
 
   " Ahhhh, but you will my dearest Kwannon, whether you want to or
not," Mandarin sneered again," Our dear Betsy is the key, but I needed a
woman of your, shall we say, considerable skill to pull off my newest
little scheme."
 
 
   " What do you mean?," Kwannon asked, hoping both to stall and learn
of his plans.
 
 
   " Too often I have been defeated by over-reaching what was in my
grasp,this time I shall conquer by taking apart my enemes one piece at a
time. That is where the both of you come in," Mandarin gloated," My dear
Betsy is a mutant, a telepath, one of the most powerful in the world. I
have detected only 3 with geater abilities than hers, and another who
perhaps equals her. At one time, she stood in for her brother, the one
known as Captain Britain. Yes, the hero of his country much as the
mutant Sunfire is of yours."
 
 
   Kwannon was silent as Mandarin talked. She had heard from her
briefings that master criminals like Mandarin had big egos that caused
them to reviel their plans, but she had no idea that that was factual.
Kwannon knew that even though she was the finest ninja in Japan's 'Elite
Division' that she was in trouble. She wasn't Iron Man or Sunfire or
Captain America. She was only human and becomming very frightened of
this meglomaniac.
 
 
   " So, why do you need me?," Kwannon asked, maintaining her courage.
 
 
   " For all of her ability dear Betsy lacks one thing, the psysical
prowess to go with her mental abilities," Mandarin continued.
 
 
   " She looks to be in pretty good shape to me," Kwannon stated.
 
 
   " But not anywhere to the degree of athlete that you are dear
Kwannon. It was easy to use the means at my disposal to give her
artificial eyes that are better than real ones, making her a ninja
capable of doing the task I need of her is another. That is where you
come in," Mandarin confidenty carried on," I have studied you dear
Kwannon, yes, I keep complete records of all the best secret agents in
the world and you are the best in all of Japan. You are exactly what I
need for my latest plan."
 
 
   " What? Becomming a wrestler for the WWF?," Kwannon taunted, hoping
to further stall him, but fearing that it was hopeless.
 
 
   " Your attempts to anger me are useless Kwannon. You see, while you
are not are mutant you are a sensative, meaning that I can transfer your
abilities into Betsy and hers into you," Mandarin smiled again," In the
process of transfer I have added a few modifications in order to bring
the 2 of you under my thrall. Just imagine it Kwannon, you with psionic
powers and Betsy with your ninja abilities. Because of your genetic
match to each other there won't even be a loss of power."
 
 
   " Your'e mad! What would even be the use of such a scheme?," Kwannon
asked, fear creeping into her voice despite her resolve.
 
 
   " Imagine my dear, politicians taken under mental domination,
stealthy infiltrations into military installations to steal top secret
plans, mind control of wealthy businessmen and bankers to disrupt
econamies. The possabilties are endless," Mandarin gloated," Prepare
them!"
 
 
...............................
 
   Xavier's ' School for Gifted Youngsters'; 24 hours previous:
 
   Prof. X had reluctantly allowed his new students to design their own
costumes. While the boys had submitted designs that were acceptable,
Prof. X sighed every time he saw Tandy and Nita. Their designs left
little to the imagination and exposed wayyy too much flesh for his
liking. But since he had given them their freedom in that area he had
little choice in the matter. After all, Jean had worn a mini-skirt for
years.
 
 
   Matt Rider had emerged as the acknowledged leader for the new team.
His psionic powers backed by his incredible expertise in the martial
arts made him a natural leader for the new X-Men. His work ethic also
pleased Prof. X as Matt studied the files of previous foes of the X-Men
as well as workout tapes of the new team to dvise tactics to fight such
enemies.
 
 
   Of course Matt was also the biggest headache, albeit a minor one.
Matt was dedicated to Xavier's dream, but he was convinced that the best
way to achive that dream was for the X-Men to come out and openly reviel
themselves. Prof. X thought about the reasoned argument the night
before.
 
 
   " Professor, Hank, Beast, your former student is an Avenger now and
look at his popularity. And what about Quicksilver and the Scarlet
Witch? As Avengers almost nobody says anything about them being
mutants," Matt argued," Oh, and the Fantastic Four, well, what's
weirder, a bird man like Roberto or the Thing. The Thing, the Torch,
even Mr. Fantastic himself are weirder tham most mutants and yet they're
considered part of the family by most people."
 
 
   " And your point is?," Prof. X asked, intrigued by the topic.
 
 
   " As long as we hide out in secret mutants will be mistrusted. The
hero's who are the most open about themselves are th ones who are the
most accepted," Matt said," We should set up some kind of public HQ and
hold a press conferance, do charity work, etc. We may get attacked a few
times because of that, but according to X-Men history we're due for some
of those anyway."
 
 
   Prof X sighed. Matt had made a good point. The others supported him.
Right now Matt was in the file room studying, Roberto and Billy were
outside doing their friendly flight vs. speed rivalry for who would buy
the soda's. Billy Ray was ahead by a case. Nita was in the pool as
usual. On more than one occasion Prof. X was startled by the fact that
Nita skinnydipped. Atlanean's just didn't have surface world hang-ups
about nudity.
 
 
   In fact Charles often had to lecture Nita about walking around naked.
Nita would always get sincerely ashamed and on occasion cry, but it was
like she couldn't help it. Her culture simply had no taboos against
nudity. Prof. X saw Tandy enter the file room. She was the most revenge
minded of all of his students. With all of his charges accounted for
Prof. X wheeled into his study to prepare the routine study and workout
routines.
 
 
   Inside the files room Tandy hugged Matt from behind. Looking at the
screen Matt had punched up the file of the greatest foe of the original
X-Men, Magneto!
 
 
   " He's dead isn't he?," Tandy asked.
 
 
   " I doubt it. He's survived worse than falling in a volcano or
whatever supposidly happened to him," Matt replied," He may just be
laying low. Guy's like him and Dr. Doom and Red Skull appear to get
killed over and over, yet they always come back."
 
 
   " I hope not. He's so powerful and so evil," Tandy shuddered.
 
 
   " The powerful part I agree with. I'm not so sure about how evil he
really is," Matt mused.
 
 
   " What? Are you crazy? He's tried to kill the X-Men several times,"
Tandy said amazed.
 
 
   " And he's never done it. Why? He had at least a dozen chances to
kill our predecessors. What stopped him?," Matt asked.
 
 
   " Your'e the curious one Matt. Do the files say?," Tandy asked.
 
 
   " That's just it. There's a secret file on Magneto that I can't get
into. The file is sealed by the professor. I barely know how to use a
computer, and none of us are good enough hackers to break into that
file," Matt smiled," There's just something about him that doesn't add
up."
 
   " Hey, enough about some stodgy old villain, how do you like my
uniform?," Tandy grinned as she twirled with her dancers grace in her
white bodysuit with the revieling large dagger cutout.
 
 
   " Very nice," Matt grinned.
 
 
   Matt's  uniform had the appearance of a bikers with white t-shirt,
faded jeans, and leather jacket, with helmet. A chain, that he could use
as a weapon was his belt. Of course, his outfit like that of Tandy's and
the others was actually made of unstable molecules, a gift from Reed
Richards of the Fantastic Four. Nita, of course went with a green bikini
with gold belt, Billy Ray stayed with an all black bodysuit. Roberto was
the most flamboyant with his stylized Condor outfit based on his Mexican
heratige.
 
 
   Th thoughts of Charles Xavier went out to all of them ordering them
to assemble at the balckbird in full uniform at once.
 
 
   " Do you think we're finally getting our first mission?," Tandy
asked.
 
 
   " Sounds like it," Matt said donning his helmet.
 
 
   Minutes later Matt Rider/Midnight Rider, Tandy Bowen/Dagger, Billy
Ray/Darkray, Roberto Conoros/Condor, and Namorita stood beside the
X-Men's converted SR-71 Blackbird as Prof. X entered the underground
hanger.
 
 
   " I had hoped for some more training before this day, but an old
friend of mine, Mrs. Moira MacTaggart has requested my assistance at her
residence on Muir island off the coast of Scotland," Prof. X stated,"
Assistance that may require the X-Men. There are few details since the
communication was cut off before she could give many details, but it
appears to be a super-human threat of some kind."
 
 
   " We won't let you down Professor, and we'll look before we start
anything if we can," Matt.
 
 
   " Be careful, we don't know what we're up against," Prof. X said.
 
 
   Minutes later the Blackbird lifted off heading towards their destiny.
 
 
................................
 
 
   Muir island; Scotland: A large man in red armor blasted down a wall.
 
 
   " Come out woman! You can't hide from Eric the Red forever!," the man
called Eric the Red roared.
 
 
   Moira MacTaggart huddled behind a wall, a disruptor gun in her hand.
She was frightened, but Moira MacTaggart never gave up in a fight. She
had had no itention of calling Charles until this madmad had shown up.
Nor did she have any idea of his intentions. All she hoped for now was
that he didn't somehow free those in her charge. Especially Proteus!
 
 
   " If you value your life woman, you'll give me what I want!," Eric
shouted.
 
 
   " The only thing you'll get from me is this!," Moira shouted as fired
the disruptor full blast at Eric the Red.
 
 
   " Aaaarrrrggghhh! You'll pay for that woman!," Eric yelled in pain.
 
 
   Eric fired a blast that destroyed Moira's gun and sent her flying
backwards to crash hard into a wall. Moira lay there stunned as Eric
advanced on her.
 
 
   " I wanted you alive bitch, but dead will do just as well.
Iiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeee," Eric screamed as he was forcefully struck in
the back.
 
 
   " Didn't your mother tell you not to hit a lady," Namorita said as
she landed another shot on Eric, this one on the jaw.
 
 
   Eric went down hard,but sent out 2 beams of force at Nita. Nita flew
straight up causing the beams to miss badly. Eric leaped to his feet and
took aim for another blast when he suddenly found himself projected in
the air.
 
 
   " Manuever Z-56," Midnight Rider called out.
 
 
   Condor swooped in as Eric activated his boot jets. Condor's talons
could shred titanium steel, against Eric's armor they only made a small
hole. But it was a hole that Namorita could exploit. Using her newest
technique, that of making an electrified fist, Namorita hit Eric as hard
as she could sendng him crashing towards the ground.
 
 
   Eric's mouth opened in unexpected fear as the groud reached for him.
Darkray sped under him, racing around in speeds that slowed Eric's
descent, but created a vortex that spun Eric around. Dizzy beyond belief
Darkray then dropped him hard into the ground. Trying desperately to
stand 6 of Dagger's light-knives struck him. Paralyzed, a flying kick
from Midnight Rider knocked Eric the Red out cold.
 
 
   " I don't believe it! We just won our first fight with a
super-villain," Billy said astonished.
 
 
   " All-right," Roberto and Billy said in unison as they high-fived.
 
 
   Tandy had rushed over to see about Moira as Matt and Nita knealt over
the fallen Eric. Moira was beginning to come to her senses.
 
 
   " It's allright, Professor Xavier sent us," Tandy said," We're the
X-Men."
 
 
   " That man? He's...," Moira started.
 
 
   " Let's see what he looks what," Nita said as she barely managed to
rip off the mans helmet.
 
 
   " Whoa! He's some kind of alien," Roberto said," He looks more like a
bird than I do."
 
 
   " Very interesting," a steely man's voice said from above.
 
 
   " Captain Britain," Moira smiled," Your'e a little late for the party
this time."
 
 
   After introductions and securing Eric the Red, Captain Britain told
the X-Men about his sister Betsy's mysterious disapearance. This led to
a teleconference with Prof. X who located Bestsy with Cerebo. Captain
Britain couldn't go after her because of a new emergency in London. This
left it up to the X-Men.
 
 
   " Hurry X-Men, I fear that she is in grave danger," Prof. X said.
 
 
   On the Blackboard the 5 teenage mutants laughed and joked to hide
their nervousness.
 
 
   " Hey, since she's a mutant maybe she'll want to join the X-Men,"
Nita said.
 
 
   " Yea, that would be great, then we'd have 3 guys and 3 girls," Tandy
smiled.
 
 
   " What difference would it make? Horny Matt would just confiscate her
too and not share with his buds," Billy joked.
 
 
   " Stoish it you creeps," Matt grinned," You guys are perverts, that's
why I always get the girls."
 
 
   " Oh really," Nita giggled.
 
 
   Nita and Tandy french kissed for 3 minutes. By the time they broke it
up all 5 of them were laughing.
 
 
....................................
 
   Mandarin's secret lab:
 
   The first part of the experament was a complete success. Betsy and
Kwannon now had each others memories and powers without the slightest
loss of ability in either woman. Outwardly, Betsy looked more physically
fit, Kwannon, was now a mutant and had natural blue hair. Betsy had
finally woke up as the Mandarin returned.
 
 
   " You bloody bastard! I'll never serve the likes of you," Betsy
defiantly shouted.
 
 
   " Nor will I," Kwannon added," You have failed. I may have her
memories and powers and they may me as natural as my own to me, but my
mind is still my own. I defy you!"
 
 
   " Tut tut my dears," Mandarin gloated," That was merely phase 1. Now
to make you my slaves. When I accomplish that you will go forth as
Psylocke and Revance!"
 
 
   The Mandarin clapped his hands and several lacky's brought in unusual
looking devices that neither woman knew what they were. The devices
still sent shudders down both women. Their courage was fading fast in
the face of the wicked looking devices.
 
 
   " H-ha! If you think I'll serve you after you torture me...," Betsy
said, fear creeping in her voice despite herself.
 
 
   " Torture indeed my dears," Mandarin cackled," But torture of a
different nature than you suspect. To break your wills to me I must
break your resistance. These devices are indeed for torture. Sexual
torture! After I am done wth you, you will beg to be my slaves! Begin!"
 
 
 
   Clamps were attached to the nipples of both women, then another was
placed on each womans clitoris. Another device was rolled up. This
device had 2 metalic dildo's for each woman. The dildo's were 10" long
and 3" thick for the vagina, and 10" long 1 1/2" thick for the anus.
Betsy and Kwannon lost heart as the device was very close now, wires
were attached to the dildo's and the clamps they were wearing. A doctor
then injected each woman with 3 shots filled with the most potent
aphrodisiacs on Earth.
 
 
   " Your pain will quickly become pleasure. Pleasure and pain will
become one," Mandarin laughed evilly," You will experiance so many
orgasms that your wills will become putty that I can mold. Enjoy
yourselves slaves! Then again you have little choice now.
Hahahahahahahahha!"
 
 
   " No! Nooooooo! You bastard!," Kwannon screamed as the dildo's
entered her pussy and asshole and began fucking her. This as followed by
small jolts of electricity that gave a 'hurts so good' message to her
brain.
 
 
   " Stop! Stop! Nooooo," Betsy screamed, as her devices did the same,"
Please! Stop!"
 
 
   Raped by a machine! The humiliation was almost more than the women
could bear. The dildo's gradually picked up speed, the electric shocks
became more powerful. The woen thrashed and screamed to no avail. As
predicted the pain began to fade, gradually becoming pleasure which
shamed the heroines even more.
 
 
   " Stop! No more! Please! It hurts! It hurts! Please," Kwannon begged,
her pride gone.
 
 
   " Ahhhhhhhh! Noooo! Don't rape me anymore," Betsy pleaded.
 
 
   Despite now having the same build and physical prowess of Kwannon,
Betsy was succoming faster than Kwannon. This was due to the fact that
Kwannon had actually built herself up to peak condition whereas Betsy
had aquired it without doing the hard work. Both women knew that they
coldn't hold out as they felt the first of what would be numerous
orgasms well up inside them. With cries of pleasue both women orgasmed
as the dildo's contiued to rape them.
 
 
   " Please, please! Somebody save me," Kwannon cried out as a second
orgasm shook her body.
 
 
   " Noooooo! Aaaaaiiiiiieeeee!," Betsy screamed as she also came.
 
 
   The torture continued for several more minutes when an explosion
followed by loud screeching sirens filled the air. Lights flickered and
went out. The devces stopped their torture to the relief of the two
heroines.
 
 
   " What the hell is going on here? Who dares to interrupt me?,"
Mandarin roared.
 
 
   A lab tech hurridly switched on the outside monitors. The sight that
greeted the Mandarin caused him to sort in derision. The X-Men were
going through his elite guard like they were nothing.
 
 
   " Children?! They send children against me? Me?!," Mandarin snorted
in disgust," I have fought Iron Man, the Avengers, the Chinese army, and
these children dare to attack me?!"
 
 
   " My-my lord, that one girl reminds me of the Sub-Mariner," a nervous
tech stated, as the image of Namorita ripped a robot guard in half.
 
 
   " Fool! Do you not think I did not notice that? Nor did that X
insignia escape my notice," Madarin raged," This is obviously some
grouping of X-Men albeit one I have never heard of. No matter. It is
obvious that they will be too much for even my defenses. Therefore I
shall have to teach these pups a lesson myself!"
 
 
   The Mandarin stormed out of the room leaving 2 doctors, 4 lab techs,
an 2 gunmen with the bound Kwannon and Betsy. Betsy was thankful for the
respite, to Kwannon this was the chance she was waiting for.
 
 
   " Hey studs, any of you wanna fuck some nice hot ninja pussy? I'm
soooooo horny after those dildo's, but I need some real cock to really
get off." Kwannon purred.
 
 
   Namorita was taking out another robot Darkray was zooming among 50
men. Condor attacked a machine gun nest, while Dagger stunned 4 men with
her knives, kicked another and hurled 6 more light-knives into 6 more
soldiers. Midnight Rider used his telekinisis to smash a small tank as
the Mandarin arrived on the scene.
 
 
   Fire shot from one of Mandarin's alien rings at Namorita. The shot
went wild as Midnight Rider leaped and kicked the Mandarin in the face.
This was followed by a spinning back fist and a chop to the side of the
head that sent the Mandarin down. Mandarin's prone side kick landed on
Matt sending him back long enough for the Mandarin to regain his feet.
 
 
   " Insolent whelp! You are lay hands on your betters," Mandarin
yelled, then felt something wet on his mouth, blood, his blood, a smile
formed," So, your'e a martial artist. I'm impressed. Few are those who
can even touch me."
 
 
   " Your'e on," Midnight Rider defiantly said.
 
 
   Betsy was finally catching on as Kwannon continued to urge the techs
and guards. Finally one of them dropped shis pants, displaying a tiny
penis.
 
 
   " How about then rest of you stud muffins? A girl can get lonely
without something in her," Kwannon purred.
 
 
   " Yummmmm! And have you ever had British quim before. Maybe one of
you is man enough to fuck me up the bum," Betsy added.
 
 
   The men needed no more encouragement. They had no choice but to
unstrap the bindings holding the legs of the 2 heroines. A fatal mistake
for them. Kwannon's first short kick snapped the neck of the first would
be rapist, a quick second kicked the mans gun into Betsy's hand. Two
quick shots freed Kwannon's hands. Kwannon made short work of the other
guard, then killed the techs.
 
 
  Kwannon freed Betsy from her restraints, turing around they saw the 2
doctor trying to flee. They didn't make it as Kwanon and Betsy forced
them to remove the null collars that prevented them from using their
powers. Knocking the doctors out they found the outfits that the
Mandarin had chosen for them. With no choice in the matter they donned
them.
 
 
   " Ready Psylocke?," Betsy asked smiling.
 
 
   " Ready Revance," Kwannon returned the smile.
 
 
   The Mandarin was impressed. This youth was actually holding his own
against him. The Mandarin had only managed to land a glancing chop and a
solid kick while Midnight Rider had managed to get in 3 solid kicks and
a punch. But the Mandarin had a huge edge in raw experiance and Matt was
backing up now. All the other X-Men were still occupied as the
Mandarin's forces had rallied with their leader in the fray.
 
 
   Mandarin caught Matt's wrist and threw him, surprised that Matt
twisted in mid-air and landed on his feet. But as Matt turned the
Mandarin landed a devistating chop to his solar plexus doubling Matt
over.
 
 
   " I must confess that you have caused me to use my best young hero,"
Mandarin gloated," On another, future date perhaps you could indeed have
matched me."
 
 
   " Shut the fuck up," Matt hissed as he kicked Mandarin clean in the
balls.
 
 
   Never would the Mandarin have thought that a hero would use such a
dirty tactic and as such he was unprepared. The Mandarin gasped in agony
as he rolled on the ground. Psylocke and Revance came out of the tunnel
attacking the Mandarin's forces from the rear. Against a 2 front attack
and their leader downed most of Mandarin's men dropped their weapons and
ran. The few die hards were easily disposed of.
 
 
   " No! You haven't won yet striplings," Mandarin growled as he manged
to rise," Now you will taste the power of my rings!"
 
 
 
Menace of the Mandarin

Part 3:
 
 
   The Mandarin was being hard pressed as the battle raged. He was used
to having to deal with only one or at most two super-beings at a time.
This time he found himself facing 7. The Mandarin also found that 4 of
his rings were easily countered by the X-Men.
 
 
    Namorita absorbed his electric blasts, sending them back more
powerful. Mandarin tried his vortex ring, Darkray stopped that by
generating mini tornado's by whipping his arms at super-speed. Mandarin
tried his darkforce ray. To everyones surprise Dagger's light knives
shattered those like glass. Mandarin didn't even try to use his mind
control ring. With 3 powerful psionics,  Midnight Rider, Psylocke, and
Revance against him he knew that rendered that ring all but useless.
 
 
   Mandarin fired a death ray at Psylocke. At the last second Condor
tackled her, their momentum saved both of them. The eyes of Psylocke and
Condor met. Instant young mutant love despite the danger they were in.
Roberto's mask had been blown away revieling his face.
 
 
   " You-you saved me," Psylocke sighed.
 
 
   " Uh, yea," was all Condor could say.
 
 
   " No time! We've got him on the ropes!," Matt called out breaking the
awkward silence that had fallen over Roberto and Kwannon. Matt hurled
powerful psionic fists at Mandarin," Everyone together!"
 
 
   Slowly but surely Mandarin found himself more and more on the
defensive. Midnight Rider directed the attack, never letting up for even
a moment, the X-Men hit Mandarin with everything they had from every
direction. Mandarin was brave, but like all great master villains he
knew when to cut and run.
 
 
   " You have not seen the last of me X-Men! Be warned, cross my path
again and you wil die," Mandarin vowed as he teleported away.
 
 
   Even Namorita was exhausted. Matt slumped against the wall panting,
Billy fell to his knees. Condor and Psylocke supported each other, Tandy
was sitting down as was Betsy. For long minutes the heroes and heroines
tried to catch their breath. As they recovered the significance of what
they had accomplished began to fill them with pride and elation. In
their first real test as a team they had beaten a recognized major
villain.
 
 
   A mental image of Professor Charles Xavier appeared to them. Prof. X
was actually smiling!
 
 
   " Congradulations my X-Men," Prof. X thought at them," Today you have
accomplished a tremendous triumph. You have proven yourselves more than
worthy of the designation X-Men! Miss Kwannon, Miss Braddock, I would
like to personally invite you to join the X-Men."
 
 
   " My thanks Professor, but the Mandarin restored my eyesight and my
greatest desire is to see all of my homeland again," Betsy happily
said," Besides, I need to keep my brother Brian out of trouble. But if
you ever need any help you can count on Revance!"
 
 
   " I will take you up on that offer Professor," Kwannon gladly said,"
I may have all of Betsy's memories, but I don't have any experiance in
actually using them. I want to learn everything I can about my new
powers."
 
 
   The image of Xavier smiled again. Roberto and Kwannon looked at each
other shyly. ' Jeez, I'm still left out,' Billy thought as Tandy, Nita,
and Matt walked hand in hand in hand back to the Blackbird. The image of
Xavier then left.
 
 
   " Ummm, I'd like to collect a few things, kinda souveneirs," Kwannon
said.
 
 
   " Hey, that's great, can we help?," Nita said, with Tandy in tow.
 
 
    " Uh," Psylocke stammered, then decide to come clean and whispered
what she wanted to get to Tandy and Nita so that the boys wouldn't know.
Tandy and Nita blushed and giggled.
 
 
.....................................
 
   Xavier's 'School for Gifted Youngsters'; 2 days later:
 
 
   After a full debreifing and some rest it was time to resume the
normal routines. But Billy Ray felt like an outsider now. Roberto now
had a girl, and an older woman to boot, Matt had 2 girlfriends, but
Billy, he was odd man out. As it happened, Prof. X needed to go to New
York City and asked Billy Ray to drive him.
 
 
   Prof.X had to meet someone at the airport. Billy Ray went with him
through the terminal.
 
 
   " So, who are we waiting for for?," Billy Ray asked.
 
 
   " Her," Prof. X said.
 
 
   Billy Ray's mouth dropped open and his eyes threatened to bug out as
the beautiful white haired 17 year old black girl walked towards them.
 
 
   " Billy Ray, this is my newest student, Ororo Munroe," Prof. X said.
 
 
   After routine workouts, Matt decided to call it a day and called an
halt to practice. Kwannon led Roberto off to a corner.
 
 
   " Kwannon wha?," Roberto tried to ask.
 
 
   " Shhhhhh! Come to my room, I have a surprise for you," Kwannon
whispered.
 
 
   Roberto looked around nervously as Psylocke led him to her room.
 
 
   " Don't worry, no one will interupt us," Kwannon whispered," In fact,
Tandy and Nita have a surprise for Matt."
 
 
   " Whoa! What is all this stuff?," Roberto asked as he entered
Psylocke's room.
 
 
   Psylocke had converted her room into a dungeon complete with all
kinds of restraints and torture devices, including part of the torture
machine that the Mandarin had used on her. Roberto was confused, but
Kwannon merely smiled as she led him into her room.
 
 
   " Like it? This is some stuff I got from the Mandarin's torture
chamber along with some stuff I bought after I moved in," Kwannon
smiled.
 
 
   " What's this stuff for," Roberto asked, still somewhat confused.
 
 
   " Ohhhhh, it's so hard to explain," Kwannon sighed," I love being
raped, but I hate being raped."
 
 
   " Now I'm really confused," Roberto said.
 
 
   " I'll try to explain," Kwannon answered," When the Mandarin was
doing things to me, my body experianced pleasure beyond anything I've
ever known. At the same time I hated what he was doing to me. Then I met
you. Roberto, I want someone I love to do what the Mandarin did to me. I
want you to role play 'rape' with me. The real thing is awful, but with
you it would be great."
 
 
   Roberto hesitated only for a moment, then Kwannon removed her
clothes, stepped towards him and kissed him. Roberto kissed back as they
embraced. Their kiss became deeper and more passionate. Kwannon helped
Roberto out of his clothes.
 
 
   " Take me," Kwannon whispered.
 
 
   Roberto picked Psylocke up and carried her over to the bed. Roberto
chained Psylockes wrists to each corner. Kissing her lips Roberto teased
her full firm tits. Psylockes nipples responded by growing hard. Roberto
kissed downwards, licking around her nipples before sucking each one in
turn. Psylocke moaned in pleasure. She could feel her pussy grow moist,
but she needed pain to really get off.
 
 
   " Please, please, treat me rough," Kwannon whispered," Use me like a
whore!"
 
 
   Roberto responded with gentle bites to her nipples, then, turning his
fingers into semi talons pinching her nipples. Running one sharp claw
over Psylockes shaved hairless pussy sent shivers of pleasure through
her. Roberto then pinched her cunt again and again. Psylocke cried out
as she had her first orgasm.
 
 
   Roberto entered her wet slit, his full 9 inches barely fitting in
Psylocke's tight pussy. Slowly, but with increasing speed, Roberto
slammed his cock into Psylocke with full long strokes. Both of them
cried out now as his talons cupped and squeezed her big tits while he
fucked her. Neither could hold out long.
 
 
   Roberto could feel his orgasm building. He knew that Kwannon wanted
humiliation. Pulling out at the last moment Roberto shot his cum in
Psylocke's eager mouth. Psylocke swallowed Roberto's cum even as she
orgasmed. Taking Roberto's cock in her mouth Psylocke began sucking
Roberto's prick which began growing hard again in her hot mouth.
 
 
   " Ahhhhhh, ready for round 2," Roberto groaned as he grew hard again.
 
 
   " Yes master," Kwannon giggled.
 
 
   Over in Matt's room. Matt Rider was in the shower. In his mind he
reviewed his fight with the Mandarin. Matt frowned at the memory of
having to resort to dirty tactics in his martial arts fight with the
master criminal. In his mind he resolved to redouble his study so that
the next time he faced the Mandarin or say the Silver Samurai he
wouldn't have to resort to such underhanded tactics.
 
 
   Matt's dark thoughts were interrupted as a giggling Namorita and
Tandy stepped into the shower with him. Being Atlantean, Namorita was
naturally hairless below her eyebrows, Tandy, a natural blonde, didn't
have much pubic hair to begin with and shaved off what few wisps she
had.
 
 
   " Mmmmmm. I bet you were all serious," Nita smiled.
 
 
 
   " I'll bet he's not now," Tandy teased as she tried to hold all of
Matt's 10 inch cock in one of her tiny hands," I see this big guy misses
us."
 
 
   Matt french-kissed Nita then Tandy as he caressed each of them. Tandy
and Nita frenched each other. The three of them soaped, kissed, and
caressed each other. Finally rinsing off they towelled off.
 
 
   " Not your room, I want us to fuck in my room tonight," Nita
whispered.
 
 
   Matt was more than eager. He knew that he would never be able to
choose between them. What was fortunate was that Nita and Tandy were
closer than sisters. Matt's eyed bugged out as he saw what Nita had
turned her room into.
 
 
   " Like it?," Tandy asked giggling," We split the Mandarin's play room
with Psylocke."
 
 
   " Tandy and I have always wanted to be your slaves, now we can act
out our fantasies," Nita smiled.
 
 
   " Ready to play?," Tandy asked," I see you are."
 
 
   Matt hopped on the bed, Nita giggled as Tandy cuffed her hands behind
her back and guided her omto Matt's erect penis.
 
 
   " Ahhhhhh," Nita gasped as 10 inches of hard cock meat impaled her
virgin tight pussy. Tandy took out a long multi tailed 'cat'," Oooooo!
Whip my tits! Whip my tits Tandy! Please! Iiieeee! Yes! Yes! Harder!"
 
 
   Tandy used the whip on her lovers big tits, her other hand straying
to her own moist cunt. Nita shivered as she came, then again as she rode
Matt's cock. Tandy whipped Nita's tits until she could stand the sight
of Matt's cock pumping Nita's pussy no longer. Dropping the whip she
attacked Nita's pussy and Matt's balls with her tongue.
 
 
   Tandy sucked on Nita's clit causing her to cum again, then moved
lower, taking first one then the other of Matt's balls in her mouth.
Matt moaned. Unable to control himself under the feel of Nita's pussy
and Tandy's tongue Matt shot his hot cum into Nita's cunt as Nita
orgasmed yet again. Nita eased herself off of Matt, then she and Tandy
began licking up Matt's cum. Matt could feel himself growing hard again
as the girls licked him.
 
 
   " That was great," Nita sighed," Psylocke is right, sex with pain is
the best!"
 
 
   " My turn! I want to get whipped," Tandy grinned.
 
 
   " Well now, we'll see about that," Matt said as he uncuffed Nita.
 
 
  Tandy was chained wrists together from the ceiling. Nita kissed her
deeply kneadig Tandy's tits roughly. Nita then started slaping Tandy's
tits causing her to moan. Tandy was surprised that it didn't hurt and in
fact felt good. Matt handed Nita a 'cat' and got behind Tandy. Kneeling,
Matt began to lick Tandy's cute little asshole. He knew his big cock
would never fit inside of her without plenty of lubrication so he took
some oil and bagan to massage her little asshole, gently insertng one
finger inside, then squirting the oil into her.
 
 
   Tandy gasped, the pain was pleasure to her. Matt had never took her
in the ass before although she had watched him sodomize Nita before.
Atlantean's of course had stronger flesh in order to survive living
underwater. Nita, being a sub-mariner was even tougher. Matt was gentle
as he now fnger fucked Tandy's ass with 2 fingers and Nita licked and
sucked Tandy's tits.
 
 
   Nita moved lower, her tongue traced a traill down to Tandy's belly
button. Licking around the navel Nita then stabbed her tongue inside.
Moving lower Nita blew on Tandy's moist pussy. Nita decided to try
something new. As Nita's tongue touched Tandy's tender folds, she sent a
small jolt of electricity through her tongue.
 
 
   " Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!," Tandy screamed as she orgasmed.
 
 
   Matt had managed to get 3 fingers in Tandy's asshole now. Nodding to
Nita, he slowly put the head of his cock into Tandy's tight anus. Tandy
moaned in mingled pain and pleasue as Matt slowly worked his cock into
her asshole. Nita was back to licking Tandy's hard pink nipples while
she played with Tandy's pussy. Nita sent more small jolts of electricity
through her tongue which combined with Matt's cock in her ass caused
Tandy to cum again.
 
 
   " Aaaaaaaaa! It hurts so goooood," Tandy moaned," More! I need more!
Please Nita. Please whip me while Matt fucks my ass."
 
 
   Nita started whipping Tandy, varying her targets between Tandy's tits
and pussy. Softly at first, then with greater speed Nita lashed the
eager girl. Matt finally got all 10 inches of his huge manhood into
Tandy and began to fuck her in ernest while Nita continued her flogging.
Tandy screamed in pure raw pleasure as she came again and again. Matt
flooded her bowells with his own ejaculation.
 
 
   Matt. Tandy, and Nita 3-way french kissed. Nita unchained Tandy,
supporting her while she got her legs back.
 
 
   " Ooooooo! I loved it!," Tandy moaned," I want more and more and
more."
 
 
   " Greedy bitch," Nita giggled," It's my turn to be whipped and fucked
now."
 
 
   Nita and Tandy again began sucking Matt's big cock. Matt smiled as he
grew erect yet again, he had a secret mutant power that no one knew
about. He could get hard as many times as he wanted to. His sperm
multiplication was such that he could have continuous sex.
 
 
   " Hmmmmm! I think you should suck Matt's cum out of my asshole,"
Tandy purred.
 
 
   " Good idea," Nita smiled," And I'll lick and suck your cunt and
asshole while Matt whips my tits and pussy."
 
 
   Nita was cuffed spread-eagled on the bed. Tandy lowered her tight ass
on Nita's pretty face. Nita obediantly began licking all around Tandy's
anus, pointing her tongue to jab inside, tasting Tandy and Matt. Matt
picked up a longer 'cat' than the one that Nita had used on Tandy.
Measuring his targets Matt expertly began whipping Nita on her excited
tits and pussy.
 
 
   Over in Psylocke's room, Roberto had strapped Kwannon in the rape
machine. The torturing dildo's fucked her while the dildo's and nipple
camps sent jolts of electricity into her body. Psylocke's cries of
pleasure where muffled as she sucked Roberto's prick while the machine
worked her over. She had hated this when the Mandarin had done it to
her, but it was different with Roberto.
 
 
   Psylocke, Namorita, and Tandy would never be satisfied with normal
sex again. From now on only the kinky and perverted would satify them.
The new X-Men would contiue on, others would join, some would leave.
Magneto, Dr. Doom, the Mandarin, the Sh'iar, the Brood. they would fight
them all. New legends would be born, new relationships would begin, even
Prof. X would find his soulmate.
 
 
   This is the beginning...
