Episode 9: Survival of the Fittest
Introducing: Juggernaut
The Gist of It: The Brotherhood and the X-Men are forced to go to a boot-camp
like place for training (I missed the very, very beginning of the episode, so I have no idea
why the Brotherhood's even there in the first place...). Scott is dubbed "Group Leader",
which irks the Brotherhood. Lance calms his teammates by declaring that they'll beat the
X-Men where it hurts most... in public... *bum bum bummmm!*
Meanwhile, Mystique breaks Cain Marko AKA The Juggernaut out of prison so he can
wreak havoc on Xavier and she can get Cerebro. He knocks her down and says some
bad-guy like lines and walks away.
Back at camp, Freddy attempts to climb a rope, but it breaks and he falls on his ass.
Lance and Scott, meanwhile, go through the obstacle course thing and end up at two rafts.
Lance (looking very cute as he does so ;p) uses his wacky seismic powers to knock Scott
into the river, and he begins to go on. He's then knocked off by a mysteeeerious red blast
and Scott intercepts the raft and wins. The Brotherhood and the X-Geeks start to argue,
so they're forced to do push-ups and then climb "Mt. Humiliation" to get the flag the scary
Drill Sergeant Man planted on the top. Lance and Scott argue and they agree not to use
their powers.
Meanwhile again, Juggy's causing some problems.
While, the X-Geeks run to the base (? Or were they running up the base?), the
Brotherhood's making their way to the top by going straight up: Todd climbing the
mountain easily, and Freddy dragging Pietro and Lance along on ropes. Pietro complains
about "Death by blubber bomb", which I find cute so I just included that line for no
reason. Anyway, Todd finds a shortcut, but the boys can't get through, so Lance
"avalanches" it loose... and they get caved in.
Juggy causes more problems and Evan falls off the mountain, but is saved by Jean. Scott's
a loser boy who keeps on trying to get them to cheat, which I think is stupid because you
don't see the Brotherhood trying to cheat until AFTER they find the narrow shortcut,
whereas Scott was ready to cheat beforehand. Little loser... Erm, anywho, they find out
that the Brotherhood boys are stuck down in the abandoned mine thing, so the X-Men
help them and then Freddy urges Pietro to zip to the top of the mountain and steal the
flag. He does so just as Kurt *bamf!*s to the top and then Storm shows up and I write a
run-on sentence. She informs the kiddies that both Professor X and Mystique are in
trouble. The X-Men and the Brotherhood then team up to defeat the Juggernaut. Poor
Pietro gets flung by Juggy :( Oh, and other stuff happened too. Anyway, in the end, the
Brotherhood and the X-Men are still enemies and nothing's really changed.
Brotherhood Moments: Many cute Brotherhood moments run rampant in this
episode, which is why I like it so much! Uh... lessee... they're in the episode more than
usual, so I really don't feel like listing every moment they're on screen.
Episode Highlights: Any scene with the Brotherhood! I liked it when Lance
knocked Scott into the water, and when the Brotherhood's climbing the mountain, and
Freddy suddenly drags Lance and Pietro up (and Pietro goes: "Owowowowow!!" Hehe)
My Opinion on the Episode: Um, a lot of people don't like this episode because
they think it's kinda pointless, but I loved it. Erm, probably because the Brotherhood
actually does stuff in it besides walking in for a generic ending fight. I dunno, ever since I
was little, I've always liked the episodes where the goody-goods and the baddies have to
team up. This would probably be because I've always loved villains and those would be
the only episodes where they'd win a fight... Anyway, I thought it was cute overall! It's
also the episode that got me interested in slashing X-Men: Evolution characters, when I
really didn't care about it before... Erm, so if you hate my fics, blame this episode! ;P
Narration Time!
Rating: On a scale of 1 to 5, it'd be a 5.
: I can't believe we had to team up with the stupid X-Geeks in this
episode! Argh!
: Yeah, and admit it, you actually liked it.
: NEVER! I'll never admit it!
: Hey, at least we finally won a fight.
: ...
: Why so silent, Freddy?
: I can't believe he moved me! ME!! THE UN-MOVEABLE!!
MEEE!
: ... Okay, that
was disturbing...
: *grumbles* We coulda beat them to the flag...
: Yeah. I can't believe how that jerk Summers was trying to
cheat the entire time!
: Uh, Pietro, you cheated, too.
: Yeah, but that was after Summers tried to multiple
times!
: But you didn't know that.
: Oh, shut up! You're one to talk! You used your powers, too!
: I'M THE UN-MOVEABLE, DAMN IT!
: I'm surrounded by idiots...
Rosiel: And I'm a crack monkey. The End. :D
