Well, here's the final chapter. Is this the end of the madness? What do you think?

Teleportation Wars

Needless to say, when everyone returned to the mansion, things were not better. While Lance and Kitty went out to have a heart to heart in the garden, the X-Men and the Misfits were squaring off again. "Why don't you Misfit Maniacs just buzz off?" Kurt growled.

"Yeah why don't you X-Geek Goons get down off your high horse?" Todd snapped. He spat out some of his slime at him.

Kurt teleported to the chandelier above. "Ha! You can't slime me Wart Breath!"

"Oh yeah well now two can play that game fuzzy!" Todd snapped as he pressed the button on his watch. He disappeared only to appear on the chandelier as well. "Ah Ha!"

"Uh oh!" Kurt gulped as the chandelier started to break away from the ceiling. He teleported before it came crashing down.

So did Todd. He landed on a statue and broke it. "Ow…"

"Ha!" Kurt stuck his tongue at him.

"Okay, now it's personal!" Todd started playing with his teleporter. Soon both him and Kurt were having their own battle, chasing each other using teleportation all over the house, wrecking things.

"Well this is something you don't see every day," Pietro quipped as they watched the battle.

"Will you guys stop wrecking our house?" Scott shouted.

"Oh yeah, like we're the only ones who put holes in the walls around here!" Fred snapped.

"I've had enough of this!" Jean stormed off.

"Jean wait!" Scott followed her. They left the others and started to walk down the hallway. "I'm sorry if those guys upset you."

"I AM NOT UPSET BECAUSE OF THAT SCOTT!" Jean shouted.

"Well…I um…" Scott fidgeted.

"Sorry. Didn't mean to take it out on you. Look I'm just getting sick and tired of all this petty bickering," Jean said. "And quite frankly Scott, its not all the Misfits' fault! Got it?"

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean, 'what do I mean'? What do you think I mean?" Jean asked, exasperated. "You know it wouldn't hurt you to look at things from their perspective once in a while you know!"

"Yes it would. What are you talking about."

"I've been thinking. Remember when we were in that therapy session earlier today?"

"How could I forget? I still have the bite marks from Toad on my arm," He showed it to her. "Does this look infected to you? I mean I know Beast examined it and everything but still…"

"Scott you are totally missing the point here!" Jean fumed. "I'm talking about when we were hearing about Lance's life. It got me to thinking."

"Well I've been thinking too," Scott sighed.

"You have?"

"Yeah for one thing we have got to increase the team's defense," Scott said. "Those guys have never been able to really match us in a fight before! I think it's because Althea who actually has a brain is leading them now. You can certainly tell Alvers isn't in charge."

"SCOTT WILL YOU FORGET ABOUT YOUR STUPID RIVALRY WITH LANCE FOR ONE MINUTE AND LISTEN TO ME?" Jean shouted. "God you are so…you can be such a…AGGGHHH!"

"Jean calm down!"

"Don't tell me to calm down!" Jean snapped. "Scott didn't you hear a word of what those guys were saying in there? When they were talking about Lance and how he was treated and everything? How they've all been treated! I mean if you think about it, it does explain their behavior."

"And you fell for that?"

"Scott you have to admit that at least the Misfits are trying to get along with us, somewhat," Jean said. "I mean why else would they keep coming here all the time if they didn't?"

"I don't know but I know it's some kind of plan!" Scott growled. "I know it! There has to be a plan to either get back at us or use us for something!"

"You're really a very paranoid person you know!" Jean said as she walked away.

"Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!" Scott defended himself as he followed her.

"I swear Lance I don't know what to do with you!" Kitty paced back and forth in the garden.

"Kitty…" Lance whined.

"I mean why do I do it? Really? Why do I do it?" Kitty fumed.

"But…"

"Can't you stay out of trouble for one day?" She whirled on him. "Just one day! That's all I ask! Is that so hard for you?"

"But I…"

"Why is that so hard for you? Why Lance? Tell me! Give me one good reason why I shouldn't dump you for good this time!"

"Kitty please…"

"Give me a reason Lance!"

"I will if you'd stop shouting and let me!" Lance snapped.

"I am not shouting!" Kitty snapped. "I am just voicing my opinions very loudly!"

"Well it sounds like shouting to me!" Lance snapped back.

"All right! So I am shouting! I'm shouting! I'm shouting! SATISFIED!" She screamed. She sighed and walked away from him. "Lance what are we going to do? We can't keep going on like this!"

"I know…"

"I mean this whole situation…it's done nothing but cause trouble and fighting," She sighed. "I know you had good intentions when you started this but like everything else it all falls apart."

"I didn't mean it too," Lance told her. "I just wanted some time together, is that so wrong?"

"Well it is if all we do is fight," She turned back to him.

"Kitty I swear I love you with all my heart," Lance told her. "I don't even care about Shipwreck's plan. I love you and that's all that matters."

"Wait a minute," Kitty raised an eyebrow. "Back up…what plan?"

"What?" Lance blinked.

"What plan?"

"What plan?" Lance asked.

"The plan you mentioned," Kitty said, her voice getting annoyed. "The plan Shipwreck has. The plan you obviously don't want anybody to know about! What plan?"

"Shhh!" Lance looked around. "Keep your voice down!"

"Lance…" Kitty folded her arms.

"Okay, okay…" Lance sighed. "It's no big thing…it's just that Shipwreck had this idea that if we all spent a little more time around the X-Men…well…"

"Well what?"

"Well he figured sooner or later Cerebro would sound the alarm for more mutants and maybe that would give our team a head's up you know? So we could recruit a few mutants of our own."

"Wait are you telling me that the other loons you hang around with are only showing up so they can get new members?"

"Yeah, but it wasn't my idea! You gotta believe me!"

"So that's why all of you have been hanging around here!" Kitty yelped. "I don't believe this!"

"Kitty please don't tell on me," Lance pleaded.

"I won't," She sighed. "I should, but I won't!"

"Thanks," Lance sighed. "Look I know I tend to mess things up but…I only do these crazy things because I love you so much. I have never felt this way with anyone but you, and that includes Willow!"

"It does?" She raised her eyebrows.

"Sure," Lance shrugged. "We're nothing but friends now. She's e-mailed me a few times and is going out with another guy. And you know something; I don't feel a thing. Not a tiny bit jealous that she's dating another guy! I'm happy for her. Actually now that I think about it, since we broke up she's dated at least three other guys. But that's beside the point, the point is, it's you I want. Can't you see that it's my love for you that makes me act this crazy?"

"Oh Lance," Kitty sighed.

"Will you please forgive me?" Lance took her in his arms. "Please?"

"Oh all right," She sighed, hugging him back. "I gotta confess I care about you too. I must love you or something if I'm crazy enough to keep hanging on to you after all we've been through. Come on," They walked away.

However they didn't realize that Scott and Jean had heard the whole thing behind the bushes. "Well I'm not gonna say I told you so," Scott said.

"But you just did, didn't you?" Jean asked. "Oh I should have known!"

"I knew they were sneaky," Scott said in a half laugh. "But I had no idea how sneaky they were!"

"I think we should tell the Professor about this don't you?" Jean asked.

"Definitely," Scott nodded.

************************************************************************

Half an hour later Lance and Kitty were walking back to the mansion. They had taken a brief walk in the woods to talk. "Now remember what you promised," Kitty said.

"All right," Lance said. "No more fights with Summers, The Russkie or anyone else. No more fighting."

"Good," Kitty opened the door. "No more fighting."

"I'M GONNA POUND YOU IDIOTS INTO NEXT WEEK!" Logan shouted.

"Hey can't you take a joke?" Shipwreck yelped.

"Oh great," Lance groaned. "Now what are they fighting about?" They watched the X-Men and the Misfits engage in an all out brawl.

"YOU!" Peter howled as he changed into his armored form. He stormed towards Lance. "YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THIS!"

"Hey back off Tin Man!" Lance instinctively threw out a tremor, lifting the floor that threw Peter backwards.

"LANCE!" Kitty shouted.

"Sorry Kitty old habits are hard to break!" Lance shouted. "OW!" He was hit in the shoulder by an eye blast. "You are dead Summers!"

"Bring in on you jerk!" Scott shouted.

"YEOW!" Shipwreck ran by with Ororo summoning lightening to fry his butt. "Guys I think it's time we were leaving!"

"Yeah let's blow this pop stand!" Fred shouted, grabbing Lance by the arm.

"Kitttyyyyyyyyyyy," Lance whined as he was dragged away. Before he knew it all the Misfits were off the mansion's property and down the block.

"Well that went well," Althea groaned as she stopped to catch her breath.

"What happened?" Lance asked.

"They found out about our plan, that's what happened," Todd snapped. "I can't believe Summers actually bit me!" He held up his arm. "Does this look infected to you?"

"How did they find out?" Lance asked.

Althea glared at him. "They overheard you spill the beans to your precious Kitty you moron!"

"Uh oh," Lance gulped.

"Yeah uh oh is right!" Shipwreck snapped. He turned to Althea. "For once you can't say I screwed this up!"

"We should have known Lance couldn't keep his mouth shut!" Pietro snapped.

"Sorry," Lance gulped. "Well it's not like they weren't going to figure it out sooner or later!"

"We'd have preferred it to have been later," Roadblock snapped. "Much later!"

"Let's just go home and get some rest!" Wanda sighed. "We can pulverize Lance when we get home!"

"I agree!" Pietro snapped. He pushed his button. "Hey nothing happened!"

"What do you mean?" Althea asked. She pushed the button on her watch. "Hey nothing happened to me either!"

"None of them are working!" Shipwreck said. "Maybe the X-Men busted our watches?"

"Let's run a diagnostic," Quinn punched a few more buttons. "Uh oh."

"I hate that expression," Low Light sighed. "What is it?"

"It's not the watches that are broken," Brittany told him. "It's the Mass Device back home!"

"Toad must have broke it when he and Nightcrawler were having their little fight!" Daria snapped. "He overloaded the system!"

"Oops," Todd gulped. "My bad."

"Now what do we do?" Fred asked. "We can call home but it'll be hours before somebody picks us up!"

"You mean we're stuck here?" Wanda asked. "Great!"

"Well at least we're not stuck someplace like Antarctica," Xi said.

"I think I would have preferred Antarctica!" Pietro said.

"So now what do we do?" Lance asked.

"Hmmm," Shipwreck thought. "I have an idea…"

************************************************************************

"I think they're gone," Xavier breathed a sigh of relief. "I think they're finally gone!"

"Hooray!" Scott danced happily. "No more Misfits!"

That's when the door opened on the mansion. "Uh…Our teleporter broke," Shipwreck said. "Can we stay here tonight? Thanks guys!" Immediately the Misfits ran in. And immediately most of the X-Men started chasing them around the mansion, fighting with them.

"They're gonna do this all night aren't they?" Xavier moaned as the adult X-Men watched the chaos around them.

"Yup," Logan sighed.

"Makes sense," Ororo sighed. "If they can't rest there's no reason for them to allow us to."

"Well at least they'll be gone tomorrow morning," Xavier winced as he heard an explosion. "If the mansion lasts that long."

"You know once they do fix that thing they're still just gonna come in here whenever they want," Logan sighed.

"You're right," Xavier sighed.

"We are never going to get rid of the Misfits are we?" Hank sighed.

"No, Hank we are not," Xavier sighed. "Pass the aspirin will you?"
