Chapter 1
N/A: The Lovecraft entities are gathered together and have no idea who is who. Well, I thin L.K would notice Zaova as they are deeply in love, now, the rest? NO. Set in EVO.

Scott Summers got the message that Dani Moonster was captured by a cultist, which, did surprise the young man as the X-men never dealt with people from a cult, but, he has no time to spare, Mirage is in trouble and Cyclops is the only one that can help.
Nightcrawler is right next to him as Scott is driving the van, the X-Jet would be too on the nose and this is a mission that requires stealth and that is one of his strength. Wolverine, Professor X and Storm are in their position as Scott is ready to enact the plan.
“Are you nervous, Scott?” Nightcrawler asked in a carefree way and Scott sometimes even how Nightcrawler can be so calm in situations like this. This is the debut of the newest member of the team. Nightcrawler and no one make any question if this is a good idea, Scott has faith in him and that´s enough.
“….Yes, I´m, I know I should be the tough leader but I can´t help to think that if I do a mistake what will happen” Scott sighs and let go “worry won´t let me accomplish nothing”
“Scott, as a leader you´ll encounter many obstacles, however, if you stop and let each worry consume you then you´ll be nothing more than a blop” Nightcrawler offers a funny smile as he continues “Life is chaotic as it can be or you learn how to deal with or it will deal with you” Nightcrawler concludes. There´s something ominous in his tone, but, maybe Scott is letting the mission take a toll on him.
“You´re right. I need to be calm and ready to face what will happen, I´m an X-men now, but, I´m still a person” Scott thank Nightcrawler who still have a funny smile on his blue face and is ready to enter in action “Remember code red…” Scott trails off and Nightcrawler chuckles and replies he knows the meaning of each code.
“Scott goes left first and the right, you´ll find her easily this way” Nightcrawler replied and Scott blinks, Nightcrawler seems to always know what the others would ask “I got the location of Mirage, Left and right, do you remember?”
Scott was sure no one, not even Professor X knew the where Mirage was, but, Nightcrawler must be a good hacker.

True to Nightcrawler´s word, Dani was in a room that you must take the first left and then right to find, using his laser, Cyclops free Dani from her prison cellar. The man hugs the other girl relieved she wasn’t hurt or worse.
“I´m fine, Scott, ” Dani explained with a smile as things ought to be alright “Thank god you guys found me, this cult is crazy they wanted to sacrifice me for a god….they can´t even speak the deity´s name without shivering”
“It was all thank to Nightcrawler that I could found you, let´s go, be ready, many guards are sure to come here” Scott speaks and Dani nods, but, deep down they wonder why this hall is dessert and why it was so easier to enter. A trap?
If is a trap, where are the others?

Shadowcat is outside of the facility and Scott blinks knowing the young girl was in the mansion,but, she´s here…Oh, Logan must have brought her or she must sneak up on them(on a trip that is in another country and no one noticed? Well, they all are focused on bring Mirage back)
“Kitty!” Dani runs and hugs the teen as well, there´s something maternal in the hug, well, some people are more cut for the family life way earlier. That´s what Scott thought.
“That´s flattering” Kitty replied and before Scott could ask what she meant by that, his communicator is on and Logan explains that the enemies just vanish.
“Oh, you defeat them that easily? Glad to know they are just talking and no bite” Scott replied but Logan is not amused as the teen and explains what he meant in a grave tone.
“I´m saying that the enemies literally vanish before my eyes. There are no enemies on my side nor on Ro´s …and I bet you enter without a problem” Scott did confirm that “Take Mirage out and let´s go home this place is giving me the creepy and I feel like someone is watching us”
“Fine, by the way, Kitty is here too, she sneaks up on your ride again” Scott informs and Logan would like to say is impossible but…then again, maybe she did that(come to think of, Kitty is always there even when there´s no way she could be, well, maybe she has a knack for hiding and stealth)
“Let´s go, Scott, flatter won’t take you anywhere” Kitty replied and Scott obeys with Dani as they are ready to leave. Scott can disagree with Logan with many things, yet, he agrees with one thing. Scott does feel someone is watching him.

In a pit valley, only a red moon is the source of any semblance of light, the members of the Bad Seed knows where they are and know there´s only one way to leave this place and that´s not an agreeable solution.
Screams filled the air as tentacles tear the men apart and chewing noises can be heard, the leader of this cult run and spot a young girl, with chestnut hair, brown eyes and a pink jacket smiles at him. As a crystal blue tentacle formed into her hand and her smile are far too bigger to be human.
“Master! Please! We did everything to please you” the leader speaks and the girl shakes her head.
“The wrong deity, I´m, what you humans call, oh right, his wife” and devour the man piece by piece. Nightcrawler shows up on a more smaller scale and Zaorva offers the left arm for him and he accepts.
“I´m surprised that you are taking care of those humans” Zaorva speaks not giving attention to the screams filling the space, the leader still has life, still can scream but not for long.
“Well, It has been some time since I ever watch something grown and I got bored, plus, Cyclops is funny” Nightcrawler replied amused and glad the screams ceased there´s no way to interrupt their conversation now.
“I know you, my other half!” Zaorva replied amused as her eyes are in a deep azure.
“Oh, fine, I just want to spend more and more time with you, I´m still a lovesick fool for you” Nightcrawler replied in good humour even if his mask is cracking and is soiled by blood and flesh.
“Me too, I´m glad you´re here…I don´t fully get the humans as you do, Nyarty” Zaorva chuckles at his reaction to the nickname.
“You´re the only living being that can call me that. As for the humans, they aren´t that complicated to understand” Zaorva pouts a little and now Nightcrawler smiles at that “Guess we are not taking care of such chaotic life…again”
“Yes, we are” her mask is also cracking and smiles now “If I´m mother life does that makes you the father?”
“Of all the human’s things to understand you that is the only one you got a hold on” Nightcrawler offers as a reply as his mask is broken and Zaorva follows the lead. The leader should be grateful he´s dead ´cause see two deities doing what they are doing now would explode his mind.

Dani is happy to be back at the mansion and the New Mutants share the sentiment.
“Scott saved you? It was dangerous?” Rhane asked full with concern.
“Yes, and Kitty was there too” Dani explains and Sunspot scratch his head confused for a moment.
“Wait, Kitty was here all this time, I talk to her” Sunspot replied now switching to Portuguese as in his words, this situation is estranha(strange) Magik agrees but offers a logic solution.
“She must have used a double spell” And everyone agrees, sort of, Magik knows that a double spell requires time and the math is not helping the case here, however, maybe Kitty is far more experience with this spell than Yana.
