Intro: Okay, I want to keep this intro as short as possible but because X-Men has such a big cast and convoluted history, I think I need to detail exactly when this story takes place.
- AFTER Last Will & Testament of Xavier (but with a few assumptions about Matthew Malloy-- continuity knowledge is up to about UXN 029 in 2015), AFTER AXIS, AFTER X-FORCE vs Phantomex (Spurrier run -- hopefully it fits into continuity. There is one issue left)
- Schism is still in place, AFTER death of Wolverine, AFTER Black Vortex probably (assumption that Kitty and the O5 are comiing back to Earth and they don't change much).
I guess that's pretty much it. I tried to do this in comic book format. This part is Chapter 1 (or 1 story arc) and each sub-chapter (i.e. 1.1, 1.2 are supposedly comic book issues). I realize the scenes/panels seem minimal in description here. I'll try to improve/add later but this is the general flow. I will continue posting by chapter when they are done. Enough blah blah, here it goes:

CHAPTER 1.1: FIRST CLASS
- Location: Undisclosed Café
Scene: Emma, Magik sitting on one side of a booth and Dr. Nemesis (all in civilian attire but Dr. Nemesis keeps his mask & hat on) with coffee served for Magik and Dr. Nemesis and tea for Emma.
Emma: So James, have you come to a decision on taking a teaching position in the New Xavier School?
Nemesis: According to my calculations, you work with a meager crew of rebellious mutants in a hidden location, it does not take a lot to surmise that your equipment will not suffice for a man of my st--
Emma wipes the coffee cup (w/ tea) clean: That’s a “no” then ?
Emma sips her tea and makes a disgusted face: Absolutely nauseating.
Nemesis: Contrarily, with the disbanding of X-Force, my options appear to be limited. A mind of my caliber will be able to make the best of every situation. Where did you say we were going?
Emma: I haven’t. So if we’re settled, we can leave this loathsome place. Magik?
- Location: New Xavier Institute (exterior)
Scene: Emma, Magik and Dr. Nemesis teleports in
Nemesis: Ah, the old Weapon Plus Facility. How anoetic. This is the last place Wolverine will be looking for you.
Magik: It is quiet and secluded --perfect for thinking and meditating.
Nemesis: Now, where do you suppose a being of self-evolved intellect would find the necessary equipment to conduct the nanite extraction you requested, Emma? This facility reeks of the very savage “science” of man.
Scene: Goldballs and Mindee rush out while Kitty, Dazzler, Havok, O5 X-Men, Triage, Hijack, Tempus, X-23, Benjamin Deeds (and Mathew Malloy?) come out behind them of the facility.
Goldballs: Ms. Frost! Ms. Frost!
Emma: Lovely, we’ve got a welcoming crew. What is it, Fabio?
Goldballs: It’s Prof. Cyclops, ma’am.
Mindee: He’s disappeared.
Emma: Girls?
Cuckoos: We have detected no psychic residue of an intruder.
Magik does a scan: Whatever it is, it wasn’t magical.
Kitty: The X-Jet is intact and there were no signs of struggle anywhere in the facility. Whoever we are dealing with is very familiar with us.
Emma: James, you would have to take out that nanite sentinel another time.
Emma: Kitty, girls, come with us, we might need to pay our counterparts at the Jean Grey School a visit. The rest of you head back to the school and keep it secured. Dazzler, you’re in charge.
Nemesis: Fantastic. I shall get acquainted with this tin can.
Kitty: Maybe it is best if Illyana and I go to the Jean Grey School alone. We do not want to start up anything again.
Emma: Our time is limited. I won’t be naughty, I promise.
Scene: Magik teleports Emma, Kitty and the Cuckoos out.
- Location: Jean Grey School
Scene: Magik, Emma, Kitty and Cuckoos teleport to the lawn. Storm, Rachel Grey and Nightcrawler come out with students looking out through the windows.
Storm: Emma, to what do we owe the pleasure? And what is this, no Scott? Where is the leader of the so-called “Mutant Revolution”?
Kitty: Ororo, I’m sorry but we did not come here for this. Cyclops is missing--
Emma: And we think your friend Hank may have something to say about it.
Storm: If we wanted to take Cyclops, did you think we were going to leave the rest of your band continue to run around provoking the humans? I know Hank may have done some questionable things in the past but he will not kidnap Cyclops.
Nightcrawler: Ororo, I will get Beast from his lab so we can sort this all out. Wait here my friends. **Poof**
Emma: I see you that even without Logan, your school still cannot see the truth. Your psychic residue leaves a foul taste of Logan’s impudent--
Storm: Do not speak of him that way. He made mistakes but he is setting the mutants on the right path. He is gone but at least he left a hero. That’s more than what I can say for Cyclops.
Emma: Disgusting.
Nightcrawler poofs back: Storm, its Beast. He is not there and his lab has been destroyed.
Rachel Grey: How could this happen without anyone detecting it? I’ll scan for any indications.
Scene: Rachel conducts a mind search and gets nothing.
Storm: Rachel, call all senior staff available. We need to find Beast.
Storm: Emma, I hope for all our sakes that this is not a part of your schemes. Let our school find them. I promise, despite all his wrongdoings, we will return Cyclops to you. But make no mistake, we are doing this as a favor to Kitty unless Cyclops is behind all of this.
Rachel Grey: I cannot detect Bobby as well. He is not anywhere near the area.
Storm: Gather the X-Men. We’ll find them.
Kitty: This is a problem that involves both schools. We should work together.
Nightcrawler looks approvingly but Storm doesn’t seem to agree.
Emma: Come on Kitty. It looks like aren’t getting any help here.
Location: Undisclosed Location
Scene: Emma, Magik, Kitty and the Cuckoos meet Magneto in an open location.
Magneto: I can assure you that I do not have Scott nor do I know his whereabouts. I may not be too satisfied with the current progress of his X-Men but I will not hinder it either.
Emma: I do not doubt what you say. However, we need your help, Erik. Scott is the leader of the X-Men. While I have the capabilities to take over, we do still need him with us.
Magneto: I have matters to attend to but if I find anything, I will keep in touch.
-Location: Savage Land
Scene: Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Rachel Grey talk to Ka-Zar in the Savage Land. Dinosaurs are seen in the background.
Ka-Zar: Sorry, we haven’t seen Beast or Iceman in a while.
Location: Tabula Rasa
Scene: Emma, Magik, Kitty and the Cuckoos are seen with Apex but he doesn’t seem to know the location.
Location: Avengers Tower
Scene: Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Rachel Grey meet with Captain America (Falcon) and a few Avengers.
Cap: Beast? Maybe he’s hiding with the Illuminati. Their transgressions against the human race have gone far enough. They have been playing god to the people. We are heroes lest they forget that. If you have any information on their location, inform the Avengers. This is top priority.
Storm: I’m sorry cap but the Illuminati are another matter. We are looking for Hank and Bobby.
[COLOR="#ADD8E6"]Location: Sanctum Sanctorum
Scene: Magik talks to Wang with no luck.
