X-Men: Mutant Academy

RPG by Ledian_X and Samchu

Fearing the rise of anti-mutant hysteria, Professor Charles Xaiver has formed the X-Men to protect a world that fears and hates them. The X-Men take on new mutants every year to train in the use of their powers and even help the X-Men in their mission. Along the way, they'd encounter other denziens of the Marvel Universe such as the Fantastic Four, the Avengers and Spider-Man. Of course even the bad guys will show up.

Setting:

The fall semester has come here at the Xaiver Institute for Higher Learning. My name's Bobby Drake aka Iceman. After my girlfriend Sara came to the mansion, we've been getting more and more students here. As one of the original X-Men it's my job to coach the kids and help them out from time to time.

Since Sara came to the school, we've had to deal with the Shadow King and various other threats. Luckily, we pulled through and somehow managed to survive. Course with these new kids running around who knew what was next for Prof X's older students and the New Mutants coming in. So, Sara and I basically had to look after a new team.

She ran away from a lab whose organization wanted to create a mutant that could wipe out the mutant and non mutant heroes.

She came to the mansion and met Bobby and fell in love. He and the others helped the girl Sara to control her powers and now Professor X wanted Bobby to help teach new recruits about powers they have and help in any way possible.

Fall was here and a new class of students just arrived at the mansion. I wasn't sure what to make of the new group as I saw them enter and hung out in the foyer. The professer wanted Sara and I to assist the students the same way Scott and Jean had their own special groups. We were opening our doors to more students and I couldn't help but remember my first day here ten years ago. Back then I was basically a snowman. Speaking of which..that gave me an idea. I snuck out of the room and headed toward one of the classrooms.

" This going to be a blast." I smirked and heard the distinct "Bamfing" noise and smell of sulfur and brimstone of one Kurt Wagner aka Nightcrawler. He was the definition of mutant. Dark blue fur, three fingers on each hand, yellow eyes, pointed ears, three toes and a long devil-like tail.

"Shouldn't you be outside with the Professor?" Kurt asked.

"Yeah." I nodded. "But, don't worry Fuzzy Elf. I'm going to give these students a little surprise."

The German-born mutant smiled. "Vell, I'm sure you and Sara vill show zem ze ropes, nicth warr."

" Yup." I nodded. " Now Scoot before my surprise is ruined."

Kurt shook his head and teleported away. "This was gonna be good.."

Professor Xaiver:

A new semester starting with more students. The more mutants I helped, the better things would be for humanity and mutantkind. Everyone needed to work together for a brighter future. The new students were assembling in the foyer of my mansion and I came out of my study to greet them.

" Welcome to the Xaiver Institute of Higher Learning. " I wheeled up to the assembled students and smiled warmly. " As I'm sure you're aware, this school will assist you all in the development of your powers as well as training you to defend yourselves for this school does have another purpose."

Several of my other students appeared. Scott Summers, Ororo Munroe and one of our newest X-Men, Sara.

" Welcome to Xaiver Institute." Scott looked at everyone through his ruby quartz glasses which held his uncontrollable optic blasts. "This facility, like the Professor said serves as a school for mutants and as a base for the X-Men."

"We X-Men fight for a world where humans and mutants live in harmony with each other as that is Professor Xaiver's dream." Ororo added. "Some of us X-Men are enforcing the dream by working with the federal government."

Ororo's white hair glistened as the sunlight came in from the windows. I supposed she made it a nice day out as she does control the weather. I noticed Sara was here but I did not see Bobby. I did sense that he was in the building.

"Sara.."I said mentally. "Bobby is in classroom A."

"Alright, Professor. I was wondering where the Snowman was." Sara replied mentally.

My newset student, Sara stepped up and started to speak.

" Professor Xaiver has trusted myself and Bobby Drake aka Iceman with training you all. And if push comes to shove, we'd have missions to go on." Sara chimed in. "If you guys would follow me, we can get to introducing each other, which the Professor would want."

Sara walked the groups to one of the classrooms here on the first floor. Bobby would more than likely show them the Danger Room and the other areas of the estate. Scott, Ororo and I watched as Sara led the group. It wasn't long ago that Remy found her and Bobby helped her with her powers and outlook on life. This was Bobby's reward for helping Sara through a very hard time.

Bobby:

I saw Sara walking and I quickly became a snowman, complete with carrot and a tophat. I made sure none of my human features showed through. Sara noticed me and smiled as she came over. She was so beautiful in her uniform. But then, everything she wore was she so great on her.

"There you are, Snowman." she whispered. "Really taking things literally."

The other students looked at her like she had two heads.

"Time to come out I guess." I soldified my ice form and became humanoid and then de-iced. The students gasped a bit.

"Welcome to the X-Mansion." I looked at the students. "Here you gotta expect the unexpected. But, first we really should get to know each other and after, well..I figured I could show you where we train."

"Think they'd be ready?" Sara asked.

"Sure." I replied. "The first thing you guys shold see is the Danger Room. But first, Any questions from any of you? We should get to know each other. I'm one of the Prof's first students. You probably met Scott. He's usually our fearless leader and so is Ororo and Scott's brother Alex."

We had three teams of X-Men and two teams of students these students age. What was one more? We were going to help all of them. This group of new mutants seemed interested in the mansion and in everything else. Time will tell when we see how good these New Mutants were going to be.
