Pray this is not just another X-Men wedding!

[Captain Jasper Hook]

Jasper gasped as soon as he saw Mojo. ''I never saw such a creature.'' He shook his head in disbelief. Jasper glanced at his sobbing brother. He frowned at the fact that the vines were gone. A smile formed. 

*Jamie Hook may be free, but he will always be haunted. He will continue to remember our rotting mother. He won't smile again. My younger brother's tears will never cease.*

[Craig Dragotti]

A frown appeared on Craig's face as soon as he saw Dazzler's light sword. *Hopefully Dazzler will be careful near that creature. Perhaps she can use her sword to slice his mechanical scorpion legs off* he thought. Craig faced Isabella and Jasper while he still frowned. *Please turn good, Isabella.* He scowled at Jasper.

*Hopefully you won't torment your younger brother another time, Jasper Hook. You won't do anything to him in a cell. You will remain in a cell for a long time, Jasper. You and your mistress.* Craig turned to Mrs. Brown and Cicero. ''How are the two of you now?'' he asked.


 

[Captain James Hook]

''Please get me to Scotland as soon as possible, Blackwell,'' Captain Hook said as tears streamed down his face. His body still trembled. Although James Hook was a pirate for as long as he could remember, he was still polite. Something he remembered from his days with his mother. Her words about being polite never got through to Jasper. He also recalled others teaching him to be polite.

Captain Hook still never saw Jasper. He also never heard the latter's vocals. He continued to forget about his hat that was on the floor. Captain Hook thought he saw his mother's skeletal features in a corner. After gasping, he looked back and there was nothing present. Captain Hook's body shook as he sobbed again.

Although he continued to cherish his mother, he was frightened of what he saw earlier. His mother's eye sockets. Her long teeth. Her skeletal fingers. Very few things frightened Captain James Hook. A certain crocodile with a ticking clock within her belly. The thought of his mother's ghost haunting him.

Captain Hook was physically and emotionally weak. He swayed for a few moments. He stumbled. Although Captain Hook was usually strong willed, his brother's illusions harmed him. His tear filled eyes settled on Blackwell. ''If I'm healed in Scotland, I would like to be with the X-Men, Blackwell.'' 


 

[Firechild]

Claire stayed by her mother not really knowing how to react to Mojo's appearance. "Mother how should we handle this? I don't want to overreact to the events at hand?"

[Isabella Dragotti]

Isabella refused to acknowledge Mojo at all. She focused on the man she once loved. Her eyes narrowed. *I won't be helpless when I'm out of a cell. You WILL suffer for what you did to me, Craig. Hopefully my mistress will eventually awaken. Mistress Selene always knows what's best for her coven.*

That was when Isabella noticed two women. She heard one woman refer to the other as her mother. Isabella's eyes were no longer narrowed. Curious, she tilted her head to one side. *Families together? A mother and daughter?* Isabella glanced from Jasper to James Hook. 
*Older brother? Younger brother?* she thought.

Isabella wondered if anyone was going to emerge from the area alive. *Other coven members and I will definitely be the ones departing from here alive. Selene will be alive. I have no idea where Emil is now. Emil definitely isn't deceased. Those attending the wedding may be also attending a funeral. Their own funeral.*

[Omega Red]

Omega Red's current expression was one of confusion after he saw Mojo. He couldn't remember previously coming across him. A scowl appeared on his face the minute he saw Wolverine. ''So Wolverine can attack others, but I am forbidden to do so?'' Omega Red shook his head in disbelief.
He began to smile.

*Perhaps that creature can end Wolverine's life for me! I never harmed my enemy at all. Although I never prevented that creature from possibly killing Wolverine. I can just say I never saw Wolverine near him.*

Omega Red saw Harley. ''Are we still going to the car? Do you wish to know if that creature is going to tear Wolverine apart?''

[Major Domo]

*If Mojo finds us right now...* Major Domo thought. He refused to imagine Mojo wounding Erinyes. *My master would be more than happy to hurt my one companion to punish me for fleeing from him. That's why I have to try to protect her from him. That's why we must flee from him this instant. We should be safe as long as Mojo still doesn't see us.*

Major Domo faced the portal again. ''We have to get to the X-Men's home as soon as possible. Hopefully we'll get there safe and sound. I usually won't defy Mojo, but I loathe the way he treated you, Erinyes. I'm also a bit anxious about Mojo right now. I'm anxious about what he'll do to us if he captures us.''

Major Domo looked worried another time. ''I really don't wish to find out. I'll be more than happy to follow you to the X-Men's home. If you wish to go elsewhere, that's okay with me as well. Anywhere but Mojo's world.'' He smiled at Erinyes.

[Harley]

Harley laughed as she looked at Wolverine dealing with the interloper in the crazy chair. "Arkady, as much as it might be nice to see old Logan get pounded, we got a date with San Francisco, baby! Our chariot awaits!"

Slinging her bat over her shoulder, Harley jingled the car keys and more or less danced over the dead bodies until she got to Doc Nemesis' little red car. "Moo shoo pork, he we come!"

[Beast]

"Pixie, if you would help me and Claymore get Selene and her coven members to the holding cells," Beast started to say as he watched the group gathered around Mojo, "I would be most appreciative of the effort."

"Yeah, before anyone else decides to crash the party!" Jubilee shouted as Pixie spoke the spell "Sihal Novarum Chinoth" and formed the portal that would take the team back to the Cybercide base on Alcatraz Island. Beast and Claymore guided Selene's pod, Isabella Dragotti and Jasper Hook back to the base through the portal.

[Sasha Sadovsky]

      Sasha kept a close eye on Dazzler and Mojo. *If that creature harms Alison...* He looked thoughtful behind his mask. *I'm certain Alison can take care of herself. She won't need me to protect her. Then again, if she is injured and I don't do anything...*

     Sasha looked worried. *Perhaps I should attack the creature. Perhaps Alison and I can attack him together. What was that creature? Mojo! That's him!*

[Craig Dragotti]

               Tears formed in Craig's eyes after everything he went through. *Hopefully Isabella will eventually be healed.* He gasped the minute Cicero flew to Mojo. His eyes widened. ''Cicero!'' He pursued the wyvern.

           ''Someone is on the naughty list,'' Craig said. Although Cicero tried to protect his master, he was still young. Craig viewed Cicero hissing at Mojo. He embraced Cicero and frowned at him. ''I appreciate you trying to protect me, but I still don't know what Mojo is capable of. You're too vulnerable to battle him.''

                Cicero looked sheepish as he whimpered. He saw Craig's smile. He remained in the latter's arms as they returned to Mrs. Brown.


 

[Nephilim]

Thom knew that his mother and stepfather were dealing with the inter-dimensional television programmer Mojo and that Erinyes and Major Domo were close by, so he decided to make a bit of a distraction so the later could flee from the former. "Dazzler, do not worry about this rabble," he said as he came up to Mojo with his sword in his hand. "Claymore is headed back, and we can get these two into custody," he said as he eyed the boy with Mojo. "And if your story is true, we will give you sanctuary, young man." 

"Young man?" Copernicus asked in disbelief. "And how old are you, mister?"

"Try close to one hundred and fifty," Nephilim said with a chuckle. "Mum, I've got this. You two can head off to the wedding."

Thom looked at Mojo and then to Alison. "Dazzler, we've got this. I'm sure Sasha is concerned by your sudden brandishing of weapons."

{{Bethany, you had best leave. This tyrant will not be at the main base. That is a promise}} Thom said telepathically to Erinyes as he waited for his brother Liam to return.

[Mojo]

              Mojo's expression was one of interest after he saw a man with a sword. He began to smile again. ''Many slaves revealed their weapons near me. Many slaves were eventually buried near my citadel.'' Mojo still focused on the man. ''You'll be a wonderful slave after you're captured. You'll battle other armed slaves for high ratings.''

            

[Claymore]

"Oh, not this again," Liam said as he exited his bodyslide portal and heard Mojo threatening all sorts of nonsense with members of his family. "Bro," he said as he fist-bumped Thom and then looked at Mojo and the young man with him. "OK, this is new. Come on, Goggles."

"My name is Copernicus!" the young man snapped at Claymore before glaring toward Mojo. "And I was only helping get Mojo to wherever his teleporter lady is. And the robot guy. Android I mean."

Liam knew exactly who Mojo and this kid were looking for, and getting them the hell away from that wedding was exactly what needed to happen. "Well, you won't find anybody here like that, so let's get you two away form the party favors and any nosy reporters," he said as he opened another portal and watched as Thom telekinetically pushed both Mojo and Copernicus into it.

[Blackwell]

"I am sure that, once things are set to rights, you can join the X-Men, James," Alastair said as he watched the odd man named Mojo being carted away. "Piper, I think we had best get James here to your school. I'm sure you and your sisters could help him regain his footing in this world. I know what was done. I just know I cannot fix it on my own."

Piper looked at James and Alastair and nodded to them both as she formed a portal behind her. "Snape can help, I'm sure," she said quietly as more of the wedding guests left through a different portal. "We will get you right as rain again, Captain Hook," she added as she motioned for the gentlemen to follow her.

"Don't be afraid, James," Blackwell said as he went to step into the portal. "We will get you to Edinburgh and find the cure for this affliction."
