All things must come to an end, all things must die, no one can live forever. These were the words spoken at Professor Charles Xavier's funeral. Around his grave students and former students bowed their heads in respect for the man that many came to call father.
As the people once known as the X-Men paid their last respect to Charles Xavier many vowed to keep the school open, to continue to take students. But as the years pasted, wars against humans and mutants increased. And then there was peace, but it was too late for Xavier's Home for Gifted Youngsters, all the members at one point said good bye to one another and gone on with their lives, leaving the school to be over grown by vandals and plantlife.
Twenty fuve years past and on the second of March an Earthquake woke the entire world of peaceful times, and earth's biggest battle was upon the once former X-Men.
As the days past, slowly but surely the old Institute began to improve, until a new sign was hung on the outside of the gate. glinting in the sun it read: Xavier's Home for Gifted Youngsters.

What's going on: All of the X-Men have parted ways and haven't seen each other in twenty five years. Now most middle age have to band back together to save the earth from a horrible foe, not to mention mend and reopen old wounds from the past. Will the X-men be able to save the world, or is everyone doomed.
Rules:
1. No God modding
2. Please have a decent what happened to your character in the last twenty years.
3. Wait for other people, seriously it gets hard to catch up if there's twenty pages since the day before.
4. Behave...you know what I mean >.>

As the sign was hung up on the gate to the mansion, a slim woman who looked to be in her twenties, though her blue eyes told the world she was much younger, watched a tear fell down her cheek. It have been a while since she had come back. She had spent many years in the Neutral Plane only to watch her planet work out its problems on its own. It had broken her heart to leave, but Iris was glad to be back, a thousand times over.
She turned and walked back to the mansion a slight limp to her step and a wince as she climbed the stairs to her office, formally Professor Charles Xavier's. Her old wound on her leg had been acting up but that didn't stop Iris from running around trying to get the old school ready.
Iris picked up a pen and began a letter that would go to all of the former X-Men calling them back to their own home, it read:
My Dearest Friends,
Sad, and violent times are on us, though we all wish for happier times. But once again our world is under attack, you all have felt and seen the warnings. I only hope that we aren't too late. My friends I call you back to Xavier's to be come X-Men again for on last time. This is not a time to think of what happened to us in the past, but of what future we want for our children. The Institute is open for all those who wish to return, and those who do not return, god bless your souls and good luck.
Dr. Iris McDonald
Iris sighed and leaned back in her chair after she had sent all the letters out throught the mail. She only wished that some of the letters would make it to their recievers and bring them back to Xavier's.

Hideaki walked down the dirt road, looking older, buffer, and wiser. He wore better robes then he did before in his younger days. Next to him was his wife, Via. He could see the gates locked as he unsheathed his sword and sliced so many times it seeme donly in once slice, and the chains and locks fell limply aside. "After you, my dear.." He said to Via as he pushed open the gates.

Via smiled and stepped through the gates. It'd been so long since she'd last been here. It brought back so many memories. She flicked her long hair over her shoulder as she'd done when she was younger. "Thank you." She said. She waited for Hideaki to pass though before she looked around again.

Hideaki turned to close the gates as he then resealed it using a trick he learned during his years of becoming a higher ninja rank then he was in his teens. "I wonder if Iris is here.." He said as he walked back over and put his arm around her waiste, gently kissing her on the cheek.
"Hello Iris. It's good to see you again." He said with a smile as he bowed respectfully to Iris at the door of the office. Even though he was now the leader of the Toushi clan, he was still respectfull to others.

A grumpy looking woman looked up, "I'm not Ms. Iris, I'm de cleaning lady," the woman growled darkly and continued sweeping, "Ms. Iris is about, somewhere."

"Oh. I am sorry. I don't really know what she would look like now days.." Hideaki said as he turned and left, in search of Iris still.

Meanwhile down in the garden Iris was busy drawing a circle in the dirt and then adding lines and smaller circles on the inside. She was working on a new defense spell for those will ill hearted plans against the mansion. She stood in the middle of the circle and closed her eyes, instantly the circled filled with white energy that shot into the sky and Iris was lifted off her feet, her blond hair and skirt fluttering among the magic as she let her magic blend with the spell.

A defaning growl could be heard as a very feirce looking Chris came walking up the driveway, simmalir to before having no shirt on, his hair spiked up, an almost manic grin on his face. "Same old Iris." He said to Iris, smiling widely as he stopped infront of the garden.

Iris felt the spell take affect and threw out her hands and the magic flew out from the circle, covering the Institute grounds for a moment before disappearing. Iris landed gracefully on the ground and picked up her staff nearby, looking slightly overwelmed she ran a hand through her hair and began limping her way back to the mansion.

"Oiy! Iris!" Chris said, jogging up to her. "Got you'r letter. Has anyone else arrived yet?" He asked her. It had been a long time since they had seen each other. Twenty five years had passed.. and so far nothing really, aside from looking more.. adult-ish, had changed about him. He still had the same wild look in his eyes, the same blood lust that could spring up in a moments notice, and the same orange hair. His fangs had grown a bit as well. The only thing different was his eyes, wich were yellow instead of orange.
"Yes, someone has, Chris." Said Hideaki as he walked down the stairs, his silver hair being long and in a braid, his ninja robes being more... majestic. All together, he looked just as different as Chris the same. The only thing that looked simmalir to his former self was the face mask covering everything from his nose down on his head and neck, and his sword, the Tatsu Ashi, or Dragon's Tooth.

Via fallowed behind Hideaki. "Hi." She said in her soft voice. "It's been a long time." Via said pulled her stubborn strands of hair out of her face. Via han't changed that much,She looked the same, and dressd almost the same. Only, she'd fianly learned that Jeans work better then skirts.

Christian pulled up in front of the school, and turned off his car. He stepped out and looked up at the building, "Been a while, hasn't it," he wondered aloud, almost asking the property itself.
He closed the door, and walked up to the front door, knocked, and waited. After a moment he remembered that once being a teacher here made his formal knocking useless, and opened the always unlocked door.
He looked around, Iris hadn't done a bad job keeping up on the place, given it had been two and a half decades. He looked the atrium up and down, "Iris," he calledand jokingly added, "the trouble just walked in."

X-T walked out from the hallway, a smirk on her face as she wore a black leather body suit with a long black trench coat, complete with sunglasses.
"It's been a long time, hasn't it?" X-T said putting her hands on her hips.
Roxie walked out from behind her, wearing almost the exact same out fit, but in a two piece black leather suit.
"Too long," Roxie said raising her eyebrows, "Brings back memories- good ones an' bad ones,"

"I think I'll agree with Roxie on this one." Sladias said, his voice showing his age, as he walked out of one of the rooms with Damien, who wearing the same mask he always wore when he went outside, his teal hair reaching down to his shoulders in a pony tails.
"..Why did you guys pull me out here?" He asked them plainly, as he put his pointer fingers up to the two dots were his temples were on his mask as he sent out a controlled pulse that mapped out the whole institute. "There's a cleaner.. Iris and Hideaki are here.. so is Via.. and Chris is also here... So is Christian." He said as he pulled his hands away.

X-T looked down at Damien and smiled, ruffling back his hair.
"Very good, honey," X-T said with a smile as she pat her son on the shoulder, then looked up at the others, "Nice ta see ya all,"
Roxie looked over at Chris, raising an eyebrow.
"Been awhile," Roxie said, crossing her arms across her chest.

Chris looked over at Roxie. "Yes.. yes it has.. Still looking as lovely as ever.." He said, as his mind traced back to when she electricuted his leg. It was limp for a month.
Damien disliked his mom doing that to him as he groaned a bit at this. "..."
"Ah.. X-T. Sladias, Roxie. And Damien. How good to see you all. How has Damien's training been coming along?" He asked X-T and Sladias.
