“Besides your parents I helped train you from a little girl.. I know that you are ready for this and I am thankful that both you and Storm are a part of this team.. Because that means that I have the power of our planet on our side..” Kate knew that the reality that the Phoenix created for Lazuli in the White Room where she was born in death had somehow merged into this reality..

Kurt got up and walked over and wrapped his arms around his wife as they looked out upon the city.. They could see the whole city from the top of the tower..
“We can do that my love..” Kurt spun Dana around and kissed her before they got dressed and ported out of the tower.. BAMF!!!..
BAMF!!.. Both Nightcrawler and Suprema ported to the center of the Warlock/Ship, scaring a few of the younger mutants with sudden appearance.. Kurt then got a good chuckle when he saw that Warlock had two sails on the boat which made him laugh.. He loved it a lot as he had an urge to climb to the top of one but kept himself from doing it.. He then waved at his daughter as Dana and he made their way over to sit with the Marauder crew..

Brian had been quiet as he watched Saber building the new home for himself and Betsy, but he was also keeping on eye on Pete Wisdom and what seemed to be going on in his group as well. He could also feel Karenza's eyes on him, and that tended to be unsettling at even the best of times. It was hard at times reconciling the "Avalon and Camelot of old" with what stood now as Otherworld. Don't even get Brian started on the state of the United Kingdom as a whole since it broke ties with the European Union.
"Darling, you should start talking," Meggan said with a smile as she tried to pull Brian back from his own private world and into this one. "I, for one, think it would be a marvelous idea. I have a feeling Her Majesty will as well. As long as you tell her about it before the Prime Minister does."
"I was weighing so many things about a new team as you spoke. My apologies, Saber. I fear the UK government might try to butt in yet again, but we will make them see reason," Brian said as Meggan stood close to him. "Meggan is right. The times call for Excalibur to reform once more. I just pray that recent troubles with Russia that have plagued our country do not transfer themselves onto the team."
"We will need to tell Wisdom," Meggan added as she looked at the spy. "And I realize he may know already thanks to Dana. It would still be good to fill him in before things get too complicated."
"Should we tell him now, Saber? Or wait for the plan to be solidified first?" Brian asked as he tried not to get Wisdom walking over there just yet.
It was then that Kylun appeared before the group. He pulled Brian into a hug, and to Brian it felt as if time had suddenly stopped. It was like the old days again, so maybe it was a good sign for this team after all.
"Kylun, you are a good omen for days ahead!" Brian shouted as he looked at the group around him and smiled. "Indeed, the time is right for old friends to come together."
Brian nodded over at Emma and Kari before turning back to his sister. "We will have to talk to them later, Betsy. If that is indeed, and I hate to use this phrase, the new normal, then we will have to call on them and Charles in ways I had never fully imagined. How long has that been going on anyway? The last I remember, Kari damned near got in fights with Emma at every opportunity."
OOC: Edited after the Kylun post
"I think with time Britain just like the rest of the world will understand our situation. We've come so far in such a short time to be pushed back now. The thing we have to spend time making them understand is we are not a threat as long as we can forge our own future. I look at how many extremely powerful of our kind are among us. Some multi generation and some first generation. The important part is we are all together." Sharia added her own thoughts on the matter as she had walked up while the old friends were talking.
"Uncle so this is Kylun you've mentioned so many times before" Sharia spoke up with a smile as she saw the two men interact. "My names Eternal but you can call call me Sharia. Elizabeth is my mother." She said smiling.
"I'm honored to meet you. Uncle Brian has told me so many stories about you.If Excalibur is reforming I would like the opportunity to join ranks with the new team when it does form and I know someone else would as well if we would be allowed." She said to the two men pointing over gently at Michelle's daughter Rainmaker. "That's Rachel's Niece. I know She would very much like to join Excalibur. Again if we were both allowed." “It fills my heart with such joy to rejoin my old friends in reforging Excalibur once more.. I look forward to meeting and befriending my new tribe members..” Kylun said as he turned to Sharia and gave her a small bow of his head..
“It’s nice to meet you Sharia the Eternal.. So Betsy is your mother?” Kylun said as he looked a bit confused as he looked over at Betsy..

"Well Surgah, all that sounds good to me. I need a new challenge in my life so I am all in on this Excalibur!" Rogue said as she walked into Saber's house with Gambit at her side.
"Sounds like a whole lot of action and adventure and I am all for that! I need something to do to shake things up a bit.”
“Excalibur.. That does sound kind of interesting and if Rogue is up for it then so is Gambit.” Gambit joined the conversation after Rogue..
“I agree with Bet’s and Brian.. No matter what we will be at odds with the leaders of Europe but when has that ever stopped us before.. The Marauders can not watch over all of Europe by themselves.. They already have other nations of mutants that need rescuing and shipping supplies.. We will need Wisdom to become our buffer as much as possible..”

“Gambit and Rogue on this team.. This is exactly what I need right now..” Rictor said as a big smile formed on his face as he looked over at Shatterstar and then back to the others..
“I am very excited about this team.. After everything that went wrong in X-Factor and that team had ended I felt very lost.. I thought the night club would be something different for me.. I understand now that I need to get back into the game.. I need to get back on a team and the New Mutants have become too much of a safety net for me.. I need to keep moving forward and not fall back.. So Star and I are very proud to be a part of this team..”

“I have telepathically connected with Pete and Dana and gave them both a download of the situation and they are on their way here right now..” Saber said as he then faced both Rictor and Shatterstar..
“I am so blessed that you both have chosen to join the team.. Ric I am so sorry for how things turned out with X-Factor for you and Star..” Saber said just as Pete Wisdom and Dana both stepped into the house..

“Bloody Hell this is a nice flat Bet’s and Saber.. I saw you do your magic thing to create it.. I wish you were that good back in the day old friend..” Pete said as he leaned up against the side of the wall with Dana resting her arm on his shoulder..
“Honestly the Monarch.. The PM and The Parliament are not going to be good with any of this.. But I have a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to Boris.. But we all bloody know it’s going to be short term at best.. Dana and I are both on board and see how this train goes off its tracks together..”

Moira and Abigail had been talking a bit after they were introduced to each other, and Moira prayed it did not make Henry feel too anxious. "I can just imagine how many more exotic places you have seen, Abigail, in all your time in space. I'm not sure how this compares to any of them, but I hope we all find something wonderful and marvelous to call our own here."
As she smiled at Abigail, Moira swallowed hard and then got to the crux of what was going on in her mind. "Thank you for being Henry's friend--now and while I was gone. My life, as usual, turned into something akin to part of a bad movie script. I never planned for what happened. I'm glad he had someone to turn to..."
Moira then looked at Beast and smiled. "And I do not want anyone feeling weird about things. Please. You all thought my family was snuffed out like a candle flame. It was a long time, and lives do not stand still. We go forward as part of this greater mutant nation and build a new world for ourselves and those who will come after us."
"I'm just glad I didn't get kicked off the island," Jack O'Neill added as he walked behind Abigail and Moira. "Guess that time I helped Dragonfly paid off. I'm guessing he's away on a mission or he'd be here."
Moira looked at Jack and shrugged her shoulders. "I have no idea about Conor's whereabouts. Maybe my father or Domino do?" Abigail smiled at Moira and then at Beast..
“What Henry and I had was in the past and what we learned is that we were better friends..” Brand responded just before welcoming Jack O’Neil with a side hug.. She then became silent as she did not know Dragonfly and just listened to the conversation. She was just glad that meeting Moira went well as it did.. Both Beast and Moira were important to her future plans..

“So what would you both like to do? We can go into the city or join the other taking a tour of the island. My sister is going on the tour with Daken of course. Both choices are full of opportunity for fun." “I know this sounds corny but I never had a childhood where I went camping and cooked marshmallows on a campfire or in this case a bonfire. If you guys are cool I would like to see if we have any marshmallows and just do that. I am also very flexible with anything you both want to do.” Milo responded to Northstar..

“I still feel safer here than any other country and that includes America. The senators passing anti mutant bills are starting to come down the pipe. It seems like destiny that we are moving here at the right time. I know we will be tackling a lot of countries and I am sure America will be one of them very soon. So the point I was trying to make is that I feel a lot more safer with demons than sentinels or crazy anti-mutant nuts.” Bobby said as he put his arm around Duncan as he joined the overall conversation. “I agree it is crazy no matter where you are on this planet. Krakoa and all of this came exactly at the right time. That is why I am very happy we have the Marauders and we are a part of it. Just listen to the music and all the refugees in the city right now. This is a very exciting time to be a mutant.” Duncan responded to Iceman as he put his arm around his boyfriend.

Finola's hat fell off her head as James spun her around. "And I am very happy to be alive! Trust me," she added as Nemesis set her back on the ground. "The place where we were was...not like this place."
As she stood and looked at everyone, she knew she could not get into the whys and wherefores of where she and Bethany had been. Not now. It would likely scare off the children and dampen the whole splendid atmosphere of this day. It would wait.
"So, might I ask, what have I missed in your life since I fell down the rabbit hole, James? Any new and exciting discoveries you can share? Did you travel more in space? Or did you find some long lost mutant ancestor back in the primordial ooze? I am sure you have some fascinating stories to tell. And then I'll tell you about some of the nicer things I saw while I was away. None of them are as nice as this! Of that I am certain."
“I am just happy to have you back Luv.. When you're ready we can talk about what you have been through.. Only when you're ready and I want to hear all about it..” He said as he paused for a moment when Sunspot called out about the trip through the island.
“My beautiful Finola, would you like to go on the tour or join the party from the city?” Bradley asked.. The sounds of tribal drums and flutes could be heard..
“I can fill you in on all the crazy sodding time I had when you were gone.”

Lost was not the only ones that found themselves before the huge bonfire in the center of the city.. Both Sunfire and Shogun had made their way among the crowd..
"I see a sign!. It says the city is called Carousel!" Shiro said to Yuna just as the rhythm sounds of drums began echo all around them.. Drum circles and musicians with guitars and a few flutes began to create a festive vibe.. Also a big dance circle began to form and grow by the minute..
"This feels special!" Shiro said to Yuna as she began to sway her body to the music..
“This is such a beautiful city.” Yuna said as she danced to the natural music around her.
“I see Dazzler and a few others I know. Shiro I know you're not a very social person but would you like to go and join the others and try and have some fun. I mean Deadpool is with them so he will be doing most of the talking I am sure.”
Shiro was silent when Yuma asked the question and he looked over at the X-Force people like Deadpool and Fantomex and shook his head.. Mostly it was hearing Deadpool that turned him off of the idea..
“Honestly you can join them.. I am going to get my stuff and bring them back here to my place.. You should join your friends.. I need time alone with my thoughts.. A lot of changes I need to go over in my head.. I hope you understand.” Sunfire said to Shogun..

“Look at all this JJ!” Fantomex said as Exodus flew off and there was a massive fire pit in the middle of the city. The people around them began to become more festive with the sudden rhythm of drums.
“It looks like a party JJ!” Fantomex said with excitement and turned to Psylocke.
“I am very happy you are still the one and the same Psylocke that I was on the team with. We had some crazy times.” He said just as Deadpool and Domino joined them.
“It looks like an X-Force reunion.”
“It is so good to see you again, Fantomex..” Kwannon said to him as he looked surprised..
“Betsy and I are no longer fused as one person.. I am Kwannon and I have no problem with you like Betsy does..” She said as if it was no secret that both Fantomex and the Betsy lead Psylocke had a complicated relationship.. They had become very close friends but that friendship ended.. Betsy ended up not liking him and lost trust.. Kwannon felt different and did not hold those emotions towards him..
“It’s so good to see you JJ!” Spouted Kwannon as she gave JJ a hug.. Kwannon was carving out her own identity as Psylocke..

Seth smiled at Gabby and laughed as he petted the direwolf. "Yeah, everything is moving fast, but I'm OK. I know my mom is going to freak out with me riding one of these. When we were back in Camelot, they had these big wolves near the castle. Nothing as wonderful as this direwolf, and we couldn't ride them. Well, we weren't supposed to ride them, anyway..."
As Seth patted the direwolf on the back, he leaned closer to Gabby. "I used to hang around with some kids in the town around the castle. We tried to ride one of the wolves once. That was a disaster because one of Merlin's apprentices found out and ratted on us. That guy was annoying. Anyway, I love wolves. So does my Uncle Jack. Mom's brother was supposed to be here, but I think the Howletts do a better job of actually sticking together. I'm glad Mom and I have all of you here."
Seth wasn't mad at his Uncle Jack and Aunts Maggie and Glynis, but he knew they let his mom down a lot more than she admitted. If he could fix anything, he'd fix that.
"Hey, maybe we can ride a dragon when Malachi MacFeorais decides to bring his here? I rode one once at Camelot. It was a little one. I think you'd like that, too, Gabby." “Camelot and Merlin are real!?” Spouted Gabby with eyes wide as saucers..
“That is amazing.. And yes I would love to ride a dragon.. Are they nice?. Are they like the ones in Game of Thrones?. Those dragons look so cool and scary..” Gabby responded to Seth..

Logan was not the only one that was happy. Jason loved being surrounded by his family. He was a lot closer to his father’s side of the family. He was very close to his mother Jean and his sister Rachel but the rest of the family he still needed more time with.
“Roberto the Logan’s are all ready to ride!” DireWolf yelled out to Sunspot as they were following alongside the Warlock ship. He then turned to his side to Laura, the other Wolverine in the family.
“I am happy to see that Daken has firmly placed himself with the family and that he and dad have buried the hatchet. They seem very happy to be around one another. It is nice to finally meet Cair and that Dad has his true love back. Coming back from the dead to all of this is nice.” He said with a laugh.
“Akhiro and dad have moved on from all that as he understands how deep Romulus’s brainwashing went.. They are both in a good place.. Our family has now come together and with your resurrection we are all on the right track.. We are stronger together.. I am just so happy to have you back brother..”
