Jetix July 18, 2004 X-Men The Animated Series S1 Ep 1 Night Of The Sentinels Part 1

A large man growls as he lifts two men above his head. A reporter explains that there was violence in the downtown area, believed to have been started by a mutant. The attacker throws the men in different directions. One man flies into another, who is swinging a chain and standing next to a smashed car and broken fire hydrant gushing water into the street. The reporter claims that this is fueling anti-mutant hysteria that is spreading across the nation. The man storms by a flaming car then grabs onto a stopping police car. Three more surround the mutant. The mutant lifts the car and the two officers inside escape. Four more cars surround the mutant as he lifts it above his head and flings it into the air. The reporter goes on to say a witness claims there was just one attacker that was big and hairy. Elsewhere, a man turns off the television ending the report as the car explodes for the camera. He tells his wife, Martha, that "she" is one of them and needs help. Martha wonders how he could have registered her with the Mutant Control Agency like she is some sort of criminal getting in his face. The man explains that the agency is not a prison but an outreach program to help "unfortunate" people. He embraces his wife explaining that it is for her own good and that he loves Jubilee. Martha starts crying wondering what will happen to her. He doesn't know but worries that her powers will be discovered and that others would not understand. At the top of the stairs, Jubilee overhears. She wonders why this is happening to her since she used to be a normal kid. She crouches to the ground and begins to cry. Outside, a large robot flies overhead and across the moon. It lands on a street crushing a street light and crumbling the sidewalk. A dog runs up to it and begins barking. The humongous robot's eyes glow and it tries to snatch the dog. Luckily, the animal runs away. The robot stands once more, towering over the three-story buildings. It begins scanning the buildings as it walks along the street. Inside the house, Martha wonders if they are wrong and she isn't really a mutant. The father says she must be kidding. He opens the entertainment center and reminds her of what Jubilee did to the VCR by simply touching it. He points to the burnt and damaged device. Outside, the robot smashes through trees as it continues its march. It stomps on the road next to a car causing it to tip on its side. Martha asks her husband if he regrets taking Jubilee in. He retorts that he does not. Upstairs, the robot peaks into the window of Jubilee's room. The eyes illuminating the room. It smashes its arm through the window and inside. The parents hear the noise upstairs and gasp. The robot grabs the bed but when it pulls it out finds that there are no living objects inside. It drops the bed, begins a tracking program, and stomps away. Martha calls out to Jubilee asking if she is alright. When she opens the door she sees the destruction and screams. Later in an arcade, Jubilee plays at one of the machines. She fires at her enemies but is grabbed by a giant creature. However, she is depressed at the thought that her adoptive parents are ashamed of her since she thought they loved her. She then threatens the game's enemies. Her character escapes the creature's clutches and continues firing. Outside the mall, the robot stomps through the parking lot. People scream as the cars around them shake with each footfall. However, one kid wants his mother to buy him one and runs after it with the mother chasing him. It crushes the front of one car causing people to flee in terror. A woman runs to a police officer demanding that he do something. He asks what he is supposed to as it stomps by them. The robot scans the parking lot and claims it is closing in on its target. Back in the arcade, Jubilee wonders what is wrong with being a mutant anyways. Just then sparks fly out of her hand and destroys the arcade game. She cries out that this is happening again. As a crowd gathers to see, the arcade's manager angrily asks if she knows how much those machines cost. She flips down her sunglasses, claims just a quarter, and sips from her soda. He then realizes that she is one of "them." Jubilee runs out of the arcade with the man yelling that he doesn't want mutants around there. As she runs, she complains about how stupid the man is. Without looking where she is going, Jubilee bumps into two women causing them to drop their boxes. As the three of them crash to the ground, Jubilee yells at the two to look where they are going. She grabs her glasses and runs off. The Southern woman wonders what was wrong with her while the white-haired woman begins to pick up the mess of boxes. Jubilee runs around the corner past Larry's Bookstore. A janitor picks up an empty glass when he looks up through the windows to see the giant robot outside and screams. Outside, people continue to scream and run as it punches its way through the windows. It tells the people to not be alarmed as it is only going to serve and protect. However, people inside are now screaming and running. In a store, a Southern man looks at several playing cards. The attractive clerk flirts by saying he likes to play cards. Neither notice the robot stomping by. The man approaches her and flirts back that he likes solitaire, unless he's has someone to play with. Jubilee runs to the escalator and rides it down. She pushes up her glasses when she hears screaming in the distance. Just then, a group of people run up the escalator shoving her aside. She tells them to watch out. She then spots the robot stomping by. Visibly shaken, she hopes the thing is merely mall security. Unfortunately, the robot spots her just before she moves under a walkway. It crouches down and sees her exiting the escalator on the second floor. It zooms in on her face and identifies her as its target. Jubilee hears this, screams out for help, and runs away. The robot extends its arm and a cable shoots out of its hand. As Jubilee runs up the escalator, the cable wraps around her. Standing outside the Elizabeth's Secrets store, the two women with their packages look at the clothes through the window. Suddenly a crowd of people run through screaming to run. The two watch them pass and the Southern woman wonders if there is a sale. Just then, they hear Jubilee's cries for help. They turn and see the robot lifting Jubilee to its face. The girl kicks the robot and demands to be let down. In response, it twists her upside down. She then pleads with the robot. Suddenly, thunder is heard as the white-haired woman introduces herself as Storm, Mistress of the Elements, and commands the robot to release the girl. She is shooting lightning from her fingertips with a cloud formed above and her eyes are completely white. The Southern woman asks her to lighten up on the speeches. Jubilee asks them to keep talking to the robot. The robot scans the two but is unable to identify either one. It decides to ignore the two. It stands and Jubilee screams. Suddenly, lightning courses over Storm and her clothes turn into a white uniform with a large cape. She flies into the air and fires a blast of electricity at the robot. The blast hits the cable and drops Jubilee. The robot turns to watch her fall. Storm flies down and catches her out of the air just before the robot can grab her. Jubilee is amazed that the woman can fly. The robot orders the mutant to stop. Meanwhile, the Southern women grabs the escalator and rips it up. The robot fires a blast from its hand but the escalator stairs rise up and block it before it hits Storm and Jubilee. The robot crouches down to see her. Storm and Jubilee land just as the woman flies into the air. She punches the robot's head knocking it back. Jubilee is amazed at what the woman is doing and hugs the older woman. Storm wraps her arms around the girl and jokes that the woman, Rogue, has a way with men. They watch as Rogue throws another punch. However, the robot retaliates by smacking her with its fist. She flips in the air and flies under another swing. Back in the store, the Southern man says how much he likes the cards. He is about to say more when he hears the screams. Not paying attention, the clerk asks if he likes anything else. He walks out saying he will return soon. Rogue punches the robot knocking it back. The man sees it coming towards him and runs away from the window. Rogue flies up to watch it. Storm orders Jubilee to wait there. She is amazed when Storm flies up in a gust of wind. The robot's eye glow and sits up. The clerk cries out not knowing what it is. Gambit jokes that her insurance can deal with the damage, then gets up and runs out. Storm flies up next to Rogue. Rogue wonders what the thing is. Suddenly, the robot shoots energy from both its hands and the two women are blasted through the skylight above and onto the roof. As they struggle to get up, Storm notes that it is a robot. With the two gone, the robot looks down at Jubilee telling the mutant to stop. Jubilee wonders who is a mutant, then runs away not wanting an answer. The robot watches her round a corner then blasts the floor. Jubilee falls to the first floor but is caught by the man. He asks where she is going and she replies anywhere but there. Suddenly the robot walks up and orders the man to stand aside as it must capture her. The man holds up a playing card and his hand and the card glows. He throws it and it explodes on the robot's chest. The robot stands and backs away as more cards explode against it. Jubilee wonders how the man is doing that then runs away. He calls out to her to wait since he, Gambit, wants to help as he's a mutant as well. He doesn't see until its too late as the robot crouches down and fires directly at him. Jubilee runs down the mall freaking out about all the strange stuff going on. Behind her, Gambit flies through a sign and into a car that can be won. Jubilee hides behind a column and watches the robot approach Gambit. She hopes the robot doesn't see her. She turns and becomes frightened when the robot stops to look at Gambit. The robot scans Gambit, who struggles and groans to get up. Finding him unregistered, the robot declares him expendable. It then looks up to see Jubilee step out from behind the column. She tells the robot to get away from Gambit. Then she raises her hands and sparks fly out. They hit the robot and it staggers back. She looks at her hands not believing it. Just then, Gambit sits up and orders her to run. The robot stomps past him. Jubilee runs outside, wondering what she ever did, and why she is a mutant, since she is just a kid. The robot busts through the windows and into the night air. He releases a canister from its hand and rolls past Jubilee releasing knock out gas. She coughs as she stumbles upon a man in a blue and yellow uniform and a visor. She asks who he is and he replies that he's Cyclops. He orders her to get down. She begins to pass out saying she doesn't have a choice. She falls into his arms as the robot blasts a nearby lamp post. The robot stomps towards him. Cyclops notes that it used an energy blast and says that he is a pro. He shoots a beam of red energy from his visor. It blasts the robot through the neck decapitating it. The robot falls backwards smashing several nearby cars. Its head crashes nearby. Jubilee moans on the ground. Later, a large mansion stands in the night. Inside, Jubilee lies in an infirmary with machines beeping. She wakes and wonders where she is. Just then, sparks shoot from her arm along a cord connecting her to an EKG monitor causing it to short out. She takes off the monitor band, gets out of bed, and complains about all machines. She creeps to the door and looks out the small window. She tries the door but finds it locked. She points at it but nothing happens. She holds up her finger knowing she can do something. Suddenly a spark forms. She again points it at the lock and this time it fires and explodes. The locks falls off in a large metal hallway. As she creeps out, Jubilee notes that mutant powers do have their advantages. She opens a door and spots a large blue man grabbing a liquid filled flask next to a microscope. She gasps when she sees the man man is hanging upside down with his feet grabbing a bar. He pours the liquid into another flask noting how bad it would be if it exploded. He flips and lands noting that it interesting if it did explode. Jubilee runs by the doorway wondering how to get out. Jubilee runs by another door when she hears a news broadcast. A Robert Kelly is denouncing the attack at the New Salem Mall as part of ongoing mutant menace violence. Jubilee peaks inside to see a man watching the broadcast. Suddenly changes his shape into the man on the television and jokes, in the other man's voice, that he is an idiot. The mutant changes back to himself and laughs. The man changes the channel and sees an advertisement for Aggression, a cologne, by Calvin Clone. A woman is shown sitting at the feet of a man wearing a ripped shirt on the beach. The man then transforms into the man in the ad. Then, a news report shows footage of Jubilee and the robot at the mall. An announcer wonders if she was kidnapped by mutants, and promises a film that night. The man then changes into Jubilee and repeats the line. Jubilee is shocked, backs away, and runs down the hall. Jubilee enters a room with several chairs and monitors. She can hear several reports at once. One notes that a strange woman was seen near the scene of the violence. Another claims that amateur video caught a glimpse of something. The monitors show a pale white woman with black patch over her eye, a man with fire shooting out of his legs, and an ad for the Genosha Beach Inn. Suddenly the main monitor shows the animal-like man throwing people around. It cuts to another man wearing red armor and a helmet lifting tanks with power from his hands. Then it cuts to the mutant hating man saying that they need to treat all mutants as a potential danger to mankind. Jubilee turns off the monitor. She begins to run when she sees the head of the robot. Then she hears voices behind her and hides. A bald man in a hovering chair and a woman named Jean enter the room. The man claims that what happened at the mall was inevitable. He knew the X-Men would be revealed to the public someday but he had hoped for something different. Jean stops when she sees that the monitors are off. He holds his hand to his forehead and sees an image of Jubilee hiding just outside the room. He realizes that Jubilee did it and is trying to escape. He turns towards the door as she starts running down the hall. As she flees an alarm begins blaring as the man comes over the PA system and, calling himself Professor Xavier, calls out for a Code Three, an intruder. She reaches an intersection, looks both ways then heads left. Jubilee reaches the end of a hall and is stopped by a large door. There is a flashing sign above it calling it the Danger Room. She hears a voice behind her telling Beast to check her way. Beast, the large blue man, runs down the hall then up on the wall. Jubilee begins pressing buttons at random. She then fires a blast at it and the door opens. However, the computer announces it is starting the Gambit-Wolverine training sequence. Jubilee runs inside as the massive doors close. The room is completely dark until a brick wall appears before changing into a concrete one and then a metal and rock wall. Jubilee is surprised then horrified as she turns around. A massive spiked ball heads towards her. She ducks then runs wishing she could go back to the giant robot. Gambit runs up and notes that this is no place for her. Just then, three long metal claws break through a wall. Inside the hole is a man in a black, yellow, and blue uniform: Wolverine. Gambit charges a card and throws it at Wolverine. The clawed man leaps out of the way as it explodes. Gambit falls to the floor and is then lifted up as the computer initiates a piston. Gambit rolls off just before it crushes him in-between another piston, though it takes part of his jacket. Gambit lands but is tackled by Wolverine. He says that Gambit is now it then raises his clawed hand as the game is over. Wolverine asks if the Cajun has had enough, and asks him to say "Uncle." Jubilee orders Wolverine not to hurt him and he turns in surprise. She shoots sparks from her hands that knock him back and into the wall, hard. The door opens and Storm, Beast, and the shapeshifter enter. Storm asks if the child is alright. Wolverine groans and replies that she won't be for long. Jubilee backs up as Gambit stands saying that she wanted to help stop the fight. Beast and the shapeshifter laugh at Wolverine. He pulls out his claws and growls to stop them. Gambit reassures her that all she hurt was his pride. She then asks what this place is. Beast explains it is part gymnasium and part survival course known as the Danger Room. Storm leads Jubilee away offering to explain who they are. Outside, birds fly away from the mansion. Storm leads Jubilee to the roof. Storm explains that they are all mutants. Jubilee wonders what a mutant is. Storm responds that no one knows who will be one when they are born, but they discover their powers at about Jubilee's age. She goes on to say that Professor Xavier is the leader of their team, the X-Men. She reassures Jubilee that they are safe there. Storm explains that she can control the weather, hence her name. Jubilee notes that that makes sense, as opposed to her name since she just blows stuff up. Storm reassures her she is in the right place. She introduces the place as Professor Xavier's School for the Gifted. Jubilee claims that "gifted" is just another word for mutants, or weirdos, like her. Storm holds her, replying mutants like all of them. Jubilee thinks that they are too old for school and asks if they were held back. Storm explains that they learn something special there. She raises her arm and shoots lightning into the sky. Jubilee is shocked as wind blasts her. Storm goes on to say that they learn to control their powers to help mankind. Jubilee, blocking the wind with her arm, asks her to stop. Storm's miniature storm relents and Jubilee asks why people hate them. Storm responds that people hate what they do not understand. Inside the mansion, Xavier explains to the team that he managed to retrieve part of the robot's visual memory. He pulls up a scan of Jubilee along with her information. Cyclops, Storm, Beast, Jean, and Rogue sit around the console. Wolverine enters and Rogue tells him to "take a load off." He sees images of Jubilee in her room and asks if anyone notified her parents yet. Rogue explains they called but no one answered. Xavier then points out an identification picture. He points out that it's from the Mutant Control Agency registration files. That is how the robot found her. Cyclops then wonders if the government is plotting against mutants. Xavier explains that the Mutant Control Agency is a private organization, occasionally supported by the government. He theorizes that someone at the agency has a hidden agenda. Meanwhile, there is a car parked outside Jubilee's home. Inside, a man with glasses asks if Jubilee has any mutant friends. He holds up a picture of Storm and Rogue asking if they know them. Jubilee's father says they don't really know much about her friends. Martha pipes up saying she's only been with them a year since she is a foster child. The father says Jubilee always kept her secrets to herself. During this time, Jubilee gets off a bus. After it leaves, she breaks into a run wanting to make sure her parents are safe. She does not notice another robot standing behind some bushes between two buildings. The robot looks out and watches her go. It moves away a tree and scans her. Jubilee turns to see it towering over her. She backs up and fires at it. It blocks the blasts with its hand and stands up. She runs and it stomps after her. She runs into the street in front of a passing car. The man slams on his brakes when the robot follows. She skids to a stop when a second robot walks out from behind a building. Jubilee is horrified as the first robot walks up trapping her. The second one shoots knock out gas from its fingertips engulfing her. The robot says that the target is apprehended. The man with glasses walks up and congratulates the robot. Jubilee looks up at the man and robots but falls into unconsciousness. Back at the mansion, Xavier pulls up an image of the Mutant Control Agency's headquarters. He explains to the entire team that the building has files on hundreds of registered mutants who were innocently duped into revealing their identities. Logan sits down saying that they're going to get in and destroy them. Gambit boasts that he could get in there alone easily. However, Xavier has Storm lead three others into the building: Wolverine, Beast, and the shapeshifter Morph. Morph changes his head to Gambit's then asks if it will make him feel better to go in like that causing Gambit to laugh. Xavier gives Cyclops overall command. Xavier exits into the hall and is followed by Cyclops who stops him. Cyclops points out that they have been together a long time and he too believes in peaceful coexistence between humans and mutants. But he is worried. Xavier stops him knowing what he is about to say, but they have no choice. Xavier turns and leaves. Logan walks up and asks if the teacher's pet got cold feet. Cyclops turns his head and flashes his visor. Chewing on a toothpick, Logan challenges him to a fight anytime. However, they are interrupted by Jean. She runs up saying that she went to check on Jubilee and found her missing. Logan offers to go after her. Cyclops stops him saying they have a job to do first. Logan turns and pulls out his claws, saying he goes wherever he wants. He turns and leaves, shoving Gambit out of the way. Gambit pulls out a card and charges it but Cyclops runs up ordering to let him go. Gambit tosses the card behind him so it explodes with little force saying Logan's not worth it. In the night sky, a large jet flies by. It lands in a small clearing in the woods. The side door opens and Rogue and Beast exit. Cyclops orders the team to stay close. Rogue and Beast walk off together as the rest of the team follows. Rogue tells Beast that when she was thirteen she had a boyfriend until she kissed him. She explains that the boy was in a coma for three days. That was when she realized if she touched anybody she absorbed their strength. Rogue lifts a boulder then tosses it aside. Gambit and Morph follow behind them. Rogue goes onto say that was when the boys stopped calling. Beast laughs and tells her to be fortunate. He says he had dandruff. Morph pipes up that whenever he was in trouble he turned into the principal. He transforms into a balding man in a suit and pushes aside a tree branch. When Gambit approaches he lets it go hitting him. Rogue continues on saying her father was very upset when he found out. Cyclops adds that they all had that problem. The X-Men top a hill and find the headquarters. Storm holds up binoculars and tells them to stop. She spots a guard tower and guard gate. Rogue asks Beast, since he is so smart, why they are the way they are. Beast suggests that it could be because of gamma rays, pollution, ozone depletion, or even television. Morph suggests it is progress. Suddenly, Wolverine says that it is lousy luck. They look up and see him sitting in a tree. Wolverine complains they make a lot of noise. He leaps down the branches onto the ground near Gambit. The Cajun asks if he's joining them and Wolverine says he is. He walks over to Storm and Cyclops. She asks if he found Jubilee. He explains that her trail went cold outside the house. He also says he was bit by a dog. Storm hands Cyclops the binoculars. He looks through then tells Storm to "do her thing." She raises her hand and the clouds begin swirling as thunder rumbles. She rises into the air as clouds pass over the moon. Inside the compound, a guard looks up then enters the booth. Morph, Wolverine, and Beast crawl their way up to the fence. Morph asks if Beast to lift him over the fence. Wolverine smiles and gives Beast a thumbs up. Morph screams as he is thrown over. Wolverine says that he was right. The guard hears something and runs out. He runs up to Morph asking if he is alright. Morph changes into the guard then says he is. He pulls out a gun and shoots the guard with knock out gas. When the guard passes out he transforms back. He begins to drag the guard away as Beast tosses Wolverine, who lands on his feet. Beast leaps over in a single bound. Cyclops watches through the binoculars. He tells Rogue and Gambit that the others are inside. As the three sneak around, a guard appears ordering them to stop. Wolverine pulls out his claws but the man is shocked by Storm's lightning. Wolverine looks at the unconscious man then moves on. He approaches a door then slices it down the side. He opens it since the lock is cut off. As they walk in, Beast points out that they have the guard's keys. Wolverine jokes he'll buy them a new door. He suddenly stops Beast and sniffs. He tells them that there are electronic beams. Beasts asks if he can detect the infrared spectrum. Wolverine replies that he can smell the ozone. Storm offers to show them and creates a mist in the hallway. Beams show all across the hallway in front of them. Beast quotes a poem about persevering in their path, and calls it a minor poem for a minor problem. He leaps onto the pipes overhead and swings his way forward. He sees a security box and uses the keys to open it then comments to himself if any of them are ever truly secure. He flips off all the security beam switches then powers down the system. Outside, Rogue approaches Cyclops and Gambit noting that they look nervous. They watch the spotlights circle around. Cyclops just wants to know what is going on inside. Just then a large armored vehicle rattles its way down the road. Cyclops notes that they have trouble. Back in the building, the team walks down a hall. Morph says it is "clear sailing" now. They approach a door. Inside the door, armed guards ready their guns towards the door. Outside the room, Storm turns the handle and opens the door. TO BE CONTINUED...
