Take a Stand
Whose Side Will You Be On?

Mutant Theatre Organizer:
How should we, as mutants, respond? Here's what I think. This is about getting organized. Bringing our complaints to the right people. We need to put together a committee and talk to the government.

[The mutant crowd began to complain.]

Mutant Theatre Organizer:
They don't understand. They don't know what it means to be a mutant. We need to show them, educate them, let them know that we're here to stay.

[The mutants complain further.]

Mutant Theatre Organizer:
People, you must listen. They won't take us seriously---

Psylocke:
They want to exterminate us!

Mutant Theatre Organizer:
This cure is voluntary. Nobody's talking about extermination.---

Magneto:
No one ever talks about it.

[The mutant group turns to Magneto and Pyro. They stood up and stumble.]

Magneto:
They just do it. And you go on with your lives, ignoring the signs all around you. [both walk to the stage] And then one day, when the air is still and the night is fallen, they come for you.

Mutant Theatre Organizer:
[interrupting] Excuse me-

Magneto:
Only then do you realize that while you're talking about organizing and committees, the extermination has already begun. Make no mistake, my brothers, they will draw first blood. They will force their cure upon us. The only question is, will you join my brotherhood and fight or await the inevitable genocide. Who will you stand with, the humans or us? [walks away with Pyro following]

[Quill follows them with Callisto, Arclight and Psylocke.]

Quill:
[to Magneto] You talk pretty tough for a guy in a cape.

Pyro:
[turns to Quill and ignites a fireball at him] Back off.

Callisto:
You're so proud of being a mutant, where's your mark?

Magneto:
I have been marked once, my dear and let me assure you, no needle shall ever touch my skin again. [pulls up sleeve to reveal tattoos from his time in a Nazi Concentration Camp]

Pyro:
Do you know who you're talking to?

Quill:
[spikes protrude from his face] Do you?

[Pyro smiles]

Magneto:
[to Callisto] And what can you do, my dear?

[Callisto moves to three separate locations at near light-speed.]

Magneto:
Hmm. So you have talents.

Callisto:
That and more, I know that you control metal, and I know there are eighty-seven mutants in here and none above a Class Three, other than you two.

Magneto:
You can sense other mutants and their powers?

Callisto:
Mm-hmm.

Magneto:
Could you locate one for me?

[After Mystique was able to escape in her cell, Magneto and Pyro arrive along with their new recruits, Callisto, Arclight and Quill.]

Mystique:
About time.

Magneto:
I've been busy. Did you find what you were looking for?

Mystique:
The source of the cure is a mutant. A child at Worthington labs. Without him, they have nothing.

[Magneto hands the checklist of the prisoners to Pyro with his powers.]

Pyro:
[reads the list] Cell 41205, James Madrox.

Mystique:
This one robbed seven banks.

[Magneto opens Madrox's cell door as he emerges out with his clones descending.]

Mystique:
....At the same time.

Magneto:
I could use a man of your talents.

[Madrox's clones merged back to him.]

Multiple Man:
I'm in.

Magneto:
Welcome to the Brotherhood.

[Multiple Man decends from the truck. Magneto, Mystique and Pyro walks to the second cell.]

Mystique:
Careful with this one.

Pyro:
[reads the list] "Cain Marko. Solitary confinement." and check this out: "Prisoner must be confined at all times. If he builds any momentum, no object can stop him."

Magneto:
How fascinating.

[Erik opens his cell where Cain's limbs were bounded in the cell.]

Magneto:
[to Cain] What do they call you?

Juggernaut:
"Juggernaut".

Magneto:
I can't imagine why?

Juggernaut:
Are you going to let me out? I need a pee!

[Magneto removes his restraints and the Juggernaut jumps out of his cell. Cain's force of his jump awakens one of the prison truck guards, who was unconscious earlier.]

Pyro:
Nice helmet.

Juggernaut:
Keeps my face pretty.

Magneto:
[to Juggernaut] I think you'll make a fine addition to our army.

[The prison guard loads the gun with the cure and tries to shoot it at Magneto]

Pyro:
Yeah.

[Mystique saw the laser of the gun aims at Magneto]

Mystique:
[shields Magneto] No!

[The guard shoots the cure at Mystique. She picks it up and collapses. The guard tries to shoots the cure at Magneto again but he swiped the gun with his powers. Pyro then incinerates the guard with his powers, killing him. The effects of the cure on Raven worn out and was reverted to human, bare-naked. Magneto was stunned.]

Magneto:
[stunned] You saved me.

[Magneto, Pyro and Juggernaut began to leave.]

Mystique:
[to Magneto] Erik?

Magneto:
[turns to Raven] I'm sorry, my dear... You're not one of us any more.

[Pyro, who was stunned, turns to Magneto and walks away with Juggernaut.]

Magneto:
[while walking away] Such a shame. She was so beautiful.
