"Soon my plans for Midgard will come forth but first I need something, and that thing is the world to first tremble in darkness" a voice said observing a floating sculpture of the planet earth "This will do nicely, I just need to open the portal to the Dark world" the voice said tapping his staff on an area of the world. "Let's see if the heroes of these mortals can handle what I have planned" he smirked "And soon I will be this world's master" the voice said chuckling darkly.

It was after the summer in which place the event known as the last stand of CHIMERA took place, and thanks to the team SHIELD put together of young heroes, CHIMERA fell, but Akua disappeared into the darkest shadows forcing basic SHIELD agents and officers scramble around for her. But of course school was starting up again and that included Yokai Academy who was once again receiving some exchange students who were on their way from America. "Man, this year will be great, no evil vampire psychopath wanting to take over the world, the exchange students are once again coming and I can relax before senior year next year" Tsukune said doing up his shirt "And I can finally wear my normal school uniform again" he said smiling as he pulled on his blazer "I wonder how the rest of summer went for the guys?" he asked grabbing his gear before walking outside,

"Hey Tsukune!" a cheery voice said "Hey Ku" Tsukune said as he greeted his latest cousin "So you ready?" Tsukune asked as the pair walked to the nearest bus stop "Yeah, are you I mean you hardly had a summer with the SHIELD stuff you had to do" Kurumu said "Its fine, I was able to meet up with you guys afterwards" Tsukune said leaning on the bus shelter waiting for their bus. "Yeah, think the X-Men will be back?" Kurumu asked "I know it, we got intel that they are planning a group from Xavier's to here via a new type of X-Jet, different from the Blackbird and the Velocity" Tsukune said "A new type of X-Jet" Kurumu asked "Yeah, apparently Havok and Forge built it" Tsukune said as they bus arrived.

"Guys step it up, we wanted to be in the air three hours ago" Havok said as the others packed their gear "Man why did Xavier and Logan pick us again?" Hellion asked "Because we're have girl friends there, not to mention he picked Armour and Surge because their from Japan, Plus we're taking Husk with us because she was annoying Cannonball and as for those two, they need this to establish a better bond" Havok said "Pixie and Lady Mastermind, hard to believe those two are sisters" Iceman said as Beast, Wolverine and Jean walked out to the new jet "Come on before one of those damn Cuckoos come along and demand a spot" Iceman said "Keep your pants on Drake, I know you want to see Mizore, but still" Wolverine said "Rowdy bunch aren't they a voice asked "Hey Forge, you coming?" Jean asked. "Might as well" Forge said boarding the Neo X-Jet. "Time to Jet!" Wolverine said powering up the engines. "Stablizers on, inertia dampeners online, prep for Mach 3" Forge said "Alright" the X-Men shouted

"Man its feel goods to be back" Tsukune said as he hopped off the bus "I know right?" Kurumu asked as she stretched from the long trip before their friends showed up "Hey guys!" Moka said running up to Tsukune before leaping into his arms. "Hey Moka" Tsukune said pecking her cheek before staring into her beautiful emerald eyes "Stop the gaga eyes" Kokoa said smiling as she saw her superior "Hey Kokoa" Tsukune said ruffling her hair up "Hey!" she shouted "What up Tsukune" Mizore said punching him in the shoulder "Not much" the dhampir answered

"We're fifteen minutes out at this speed" Wolverine said "And at this speed we're overheating the engines, remember this is the maiden voyages, and I really haven't adjusted the cooling systems" Forge said "That's alright another hour shouldn't kill them" Wolverine said slowing down "Hey Logan, mind if I stretch my wings?" Angel said massaging his shoulders. "Go ahead, we'll bit taking a bit longer so the engines can cool" Logan said checking the systems "Cool" Angel said as the hatch opened up so Angel could take to the skies "Time to fly!" Angel said jumping out into the crystal blue skies opening his wings mid dive.

The wind felt liberating to the winged mutant; it was like he was returning home every time he opened up his wings and flew into the vast skies. His nightmares and problems were forced back by dreams of his beloved sky and his beloved Kurumu. He could send hours just drifting. Reality and time had no place up there "Barrier's up ahead, already" Angel asked correcting his orientation "Hey Angel, we're about to land, get your wings back inside" Iceman said "Understood" Angel said as he swooped back inside "Ladies and Gentlemen we have arrived at our destination" Wolverine said entering a hovering position "Alright now" Wolverine said looking back only seeing the girls that the team brought "Where are the guys?" Jean asked.

"Er, guys skyward!" Yukari shouted as a red beam descended near them "Get a little bit closer next time" Tsukune said as Havok landed followed by Iceman, Hellion and Angel "What up guys?" Haovk asked as he was glomped by Ruby "I missed you" Ruby said kissing him. "Hey snow angel" Iceman said picking up and twirling Mizore around who giggled happily "I missed you" the couple said at the same time. Kurumu and Angel just stood there holding hands as their eyes spoke for them. "So where's my firecracker?" Hellion asked coming up behind Kokoa wrapping his arms around her "Hey" she whispered closing her eyes as Moka leant against Tsukune enjoying the romantic atmosphere.

'YEE AH!" a voice shouted "Oh crap! Gangway! Move" the x-guys said as a crater formed "Always reckless" Angel said shielding Kurumu "Paige!" Havok said "sorry there partner" a blonde said walking out the crater dusting herself off. "Howdy" she said to the Yokai. The blonde before wore the white and grey uniform of Xavier's but instead of the traditional white blazer, she wore a red motorcycle style jacket her shirt was opened to reveal a black tank top underneath "The name's Paige" she said "Nice to meet you, we're the school's Newspaper club, I'm Tsukune" Tsukune said "I'm Moka" "And these are Kururm, Yukari, Ruby and" Tsukune said "Mizore, yeah we've met" Paige said giving her a knowing smirk "Um" Mizore blushed "She caught you huh?" Tsukune asked as Iceman stuttered "Oh yeah she did" Havok said before noticing something "Do you sense that?" Havok asked "Yeah its coming from over there" Tsukune said noticing a structure built into the area outside the school, "What is that?" Paige asked "Who cares?" a new voice said "About time you guys got here" Havok said as four girls appeared "Meet Surge, Pixie, Lady Mastermind and Armour" Angel said as three of the grils were excited to meet them "I'm Surge but my real name is Noriko" Surge said "I'm Hisako codenamed Armor" Armor said shaking Moka's hand "Nice to meet you" Moka said "I'm Pixie other wise known as Megan!" the youngest member said "And I'm Regan, her older sister" Lady Mastermind said "so what's that?" Pixie asked "We don't know" Angel said "Should we investigate?" Kurumu asked "No, at least not until after the ceremony" Havok said.

After the ceremony Tsukune seemed restless so Havok walked over to him "Hey Tsukune, can I talk to you for a tic?" Havok asked "Sure" Tsukune said as the two walked to a small area. "Look man I heard about the summer, the Adolescent Defence's first mission. If it wasn't for the summer training Wolverine had us doing I would have joined you guys in the fray against Akua, I still had a grudge against her for what happened to you guys in the fortress" Havok said "Thanks, I know you would have and the others would have too." Tsukune said looking listless "How has it been since you last slept?" Havok asked "The end of the mission" Tsukune admitted "You better go see Jean about that" Havok said "I'll be alright" Tsukune said "No you won't" Havok replied "and I'm serious," Havok said. "Sure" Tsukune said walking off to hang with the guys. "I just hope you're mind can take the strain" Havok said.

That night Tsukune tossed in turned in his bed as he had a nightmare, the same nightmare as he had been having since the end of the mission, Moka noticed this and stirred trying to wake him up "Tsukune" she whispered before a spark of his electric powers flare. "Tsukune" Moka said shaking him harder only to make more of his electric powers spark, causing a small shock to Moka who squealed waking Tsukune "Moka?" Tsukune asked as he saw her rubbing her hand "I'm fine," Moka said "You're not" Tsukune delicately taking the vampire's hand "I hurt you" Tsukune muttered "No you didn't it was a bit of a fright that's all" Moka said gently soothing him "No, I can tell I sensed my powers hitting someone, and that was you; Moka I think just for a while you better head back to the girl's dorm" Tsukune said "Okay" Moka said pouting "It won't be for long I promise you" Tsukune said getting up and pulling on his SHIELD training uniform "I understand" Moka said down heartened.

"Want to talk about it?" a voice asked Tsukune who stood out in the night looking at the full moon "Logan-sensei" Tsukune said "Your uncle filled in on what happened." Wolverine said walking over to his student "Yeah well, there was one part I left out of my report" Tsukune said "When you were captured by Akua?" Wolverine asked "Yeah, wait how did you know about that?" Tsukune asked "it was in another report" Wolverine said "You got to understand, that was the closet I've been to death in ages, it felt like a fire" Tsukune said "Coursing through your body so hot that it feels like your whole body is being pulled apart strain by strain?" Wolverine asked looking at his knuckles "Yeah, it did have you?" Tsukune asked before Logan unsheathed his claws. "Yeah when they gave me these" Wolverine said "Oh" Tsukune said "And I'll tell you kid, that was a bad day in my book" wolverine said smiling.

Meanwhile in the headmaster's office "It can't be!" he said as he felt a dark energy in the air "The portal to Svartleheim is opening, Akua, was that your plan? To weaken the barrier placed around Earth so Svartleheim couldn't get in by using the Eye of Atlantis; so he could finally merge our worlds and conquer them before going after the rest of the nine realms?" Mikogami asked looking at a mural in a frame on one of his walls. "And who will stop you?" he asked feeling a dark energy in the place.
