(First Story)It opens at the Hellfire Club with Cordelia Frost trying
to convince Sebastian Shaw's son to allow her to take Emma
place as White Queen in the elite Hellfire Club. She
has kidnapped the mutant,Mondo, in hopes to be accepted.
As they moniter Mondo, they are attacked and
Mondo is carted away, Cordelia is not happy!
Back at the school, Jubilee is trying to get Penance to enjoy
a swim in the pool while Emma and Banshee moniter her. As
they are discussing the two, Jubilee cries out for help as
Penance falls into a seizure! Emma telepathically calms
her down while Banshee tries to reasure Jubilee...with disasterous
results. Meanwhile at the front door, Cordelia is convincing
Skin that she needs to see her sister Emma to help her.
In the Boston Harbor, Mondo is attempting an
escape. He easily takes his two guards out and steals some
clothing in the market outside. The market clerk sees this and
alerts authorities (who are the captors!) GenX pull up just
in time to aid in the battle with their normal flair.Mondo
shows his power as he melts into the pavement and slams everyone
as he comes out as solid as concrete. The captors end up
teleporting away and GenX head back home. After Cordelia
gets a lecture by Emma(who hates her big time!) Mondo
talks to Cordelia...he didn't suspect a thing! He says
goodbye as she leaves and enters the school to his first
day with GenX and to his Orientation party....
(Second Story) Angelo is helping Monet move her many things
into the Science building since the girls dorm
was blown up by Chamber in GenX#6. After Monet misjudges
the size of her window, everything she's carrying, ends up
all over the floor. She leaves with a fewer things
the next time and Skin sees something that fell out of her things...
her diary! He thinks about it and decides to read it so he
can know more about her. It's in coloring book form with the
following quotes(each quote is a different page):
"Father is
sad today.Again. Good. It is his fault, after all."
"It rained today. Hard. THINGS TO DO: Get a new Governess."
"Arrived at the school today. Naturally,everyone was glad
to see me. It will take a while, but I know I can help them."
"The BIO-SHERE is an interesting place. Mr. Cassidy seems
quite proud of it. It would be rude of me to make improvements
right away."
"Skin and Synch arrived. They are nice, but they lack maturity."
"Naturally, since it is her school,
Emma Frost is here too. I'm trying not to dislike her until
I get to know her. I think she doesn't like me too much."
"I was surprised that Mentor arrived today. It seems like
it's been a long time(everything seems longer....now.) I
knew why he was here."
"At the airport, we met Chamber,
I will try not to be scared, but he's scary looking. Plus,
I feel sorry for him."
"It would have been a good first
day...except for him. He almost ruined everything.like he probably always does...."
"When we got home, we found somebody called Penance. She looked worse than I expected."
AT that point, Monet comes flying back and Skin hides the diary.
He's nervous and makes up some excuses and leaves.
Monet sees her diary and wonders if he read it or not...no
matter she thinks...he's to embarrassed to tell the others
and she doesn't think that he could figure out the St. Croix
family secret on his own anyway....End!
GENERATION X ANNUAL'96:
(This is going to be interesting to try to explain..)Ok, it
starts in a guy's apartment who's girlfriend just left him.
(you have to read this since the conversation keeps shifting from
person to person.) The gang, sans Emma and Chamber, are on a
road trip and are not happy..especially with Jubi telling
boring jokes. At the same time we have a young woman who's
wondering what her life amounts to..unlike her boss who's
enjoying the fact that he and his "secretary" are leaving
for the fun and sun forever, leaving his wife and kids forever.
The woman misses her subway and complains...much like Banshee
is doing right now. Fenris is tracking a car behind GenX's
van and lose it through the constant traffic. Banshee gets fed up
and tells Skin and Ev to park the car while the rest walk to
the Plaza. The same time, the guy goes to the subway to possibly commit suicide and
encounters the woman. While on their way to the Plaza, Jubes and
M argue and Banshee is waiting for an impact..hoping that
Skin isn't fooling around with the van whos happens to be
pulling into the parking garage now.
As Ev and Skin park the van, a man is taking a case from his
trunk and is run down by a car! Fenris has found
the car and Banshee heard this noise also, he decides
to see what happened. The guy and woman are now talking
about how their lives are screwed up while the woman's
boss is trying to get to the garage. Ev and Skin try to stop
Fenris as the GenXers follow Banshee. Ev and Skin are being
shot at while Banshee screams the attackers to a stop! They are
then captured and are subjected to "Silver Bullet"
to kill them all! The woman's boss is trying to get out of the garage
while the man and woman are trying to get into the building and
are talking about going to lunch together.
(Annoying isn't this?) The GenXers crash the battle as the
Silver Bullet is turned on...making their powers go berserk!!
The garage is being destroyed as the boss nearly
escapes his car as it is crushed. The man and woman feel the explosion too.
The Bullet is destroyed in this and GenX try to regroup. The man
and woman enter her work and are told how her boss took off
just as police arrived to arrest him for Embezzlement,
the secretary copied his files as evidence to turn him over!
GenX then tries to stop Fenris and Jubilee accidently
starts a fire with her powers!
The woman then is told that the company is closed and they
will all be moved upstairs with raises, some good luck!...
not for GenX though. Monet and Paige try to find the guys and Fenris
in the fire and even though they find the guys, Fenris is
gone.
As the boss escapes, he runs into the police
who have come to arrest him, and the secretary is with them!
As the rest of GenX are regrouping, the man and woman are
discussing what they should do for the rest of the day now
that something good has become of it. The gang regroup and
fly away through the smoke where Jubilee has to try to
tell them another one of her boring jokes. Everyone tells
her to be quiet and they're gone...thank goodness that's
the end of this story! You have to read the comic since this story isn't the easiest to try
to explain....
GENERATION X ANNUAL'97:
Ok, this should be a little easier to explain! This story
is based off of the novel "Generation X". Just delete the
character "Statis" and you have this story. It starts out as
Chamber is watching Monet and Emma playing a training
game called "Hunter-Hunter". M dives at Emma to catch her
and ends up plowing into the ground. M plows her way out
and goes to Emma who is looking at a glowing egg in one
of the trees and disappears. Shortly at the mansion as M goes
to clean herself up, she sees the image of Beef,one of
the now deceased Hellions, in the reflection
of the mirror. In the hall, Skin and Paige end up in a
skirmish as Skin flys around the Chandelier and
Husk is in diamond form and trying to catch him.
Outside, Synch is walking when he is attacked by the
ghost of Catseye. Also in the gym, Jubilee is practicing
when she is confronted by the ghost of Tarot.
Jubilee and Ev run into the building and tell Banshee what
happened. Banshee calls a meeting and Paige is sent to
the infirmary to undergo her usual tests after everytime
she husks. Penance is in the infirmary and as she sees Bevatron
she reaches out to him, only for his ghost to explode into
light and scare the daylights out of her! this brings
everyone to the infirmary to see Penance shaking in the corner.
With Paige in diamond form, she hugs Penance to reasure her
and later they go to their meeting.
A week later: Everyone is acting oddly except for
Chamber. Ev and Skin decide to take a few days off to
get rid of their depression and things get worse back home,
everyone is acting oddly and only Chamber seems to notice.
Later on Emma is confronted by Beef as he
blows up the Gazebo she was on and noone does anything until
Chamber tells Banshee to save her! He catches her and they
continue like nothing ever happened! Chamber takes things
into his own hands and searches through Sean's computer for
an answer when he sees firetrucks go by, an old hotel in
Snow Valley was going up in flames. He tries to snap everyone
out of their trances, but its no use. He finally
convinces M to fly him there. M flys away as Chamber uses
his powers to turn a nearby pond on the fire to put out the
flames and then hitchhikes home.
At home he is hit by a migrane and is transformed into a
form of dream led by the mutant D'Spayre,a mutant who survives
off of the sorrow of others. In Boston Ev and Synch are
talking about what has happened and decide to head back
to the mansion to help. At this time,
Chamber and Emma are living through a tortured dream so D'Spayre
can gather strength. Ev and Skin arrive and watch as M and
Husk come out of the biosphere after hanging everyone to
trees and decide to rush into the biosphere and are captured.
Before D'Spayre can take over Skin's mind, he sets up an arc
between himself, Synch and Chamber through his skin to shock
Chamber out of his dream. D'Spayre tries to stop Chamber
by filling his mind with the tortured dreams of the others
when Chamber blasts all of his energy into the sky and blasts
D'Spayre down. Everyone wakes up and thinks he's dead until
his energy comes back down to the earth and he reformes himself
into the whole person he was before his power manifested. He was
whole again but he couldn't hold it and his powers came back.
Everyone thanks him..the End! As always this is the happy ending!
