NARRATOR: Previously onX-Men...
JUBILEE: Who's that?
The Juggernaut.
[GRUNTS]
I'm trying to attack his mind, but I can't get through.
His helmet protects his mind from probes.
Is this supposed to hurt?
Just wait. (GRUNTS)
You had it easy. You were the good one.
But now I am the strongest,
and I will destroy you and you pathetic X-Men.
JUGGERNAUT: I've been here for one reason.
My do-gooder half-brother.
Huh?
(SCREAMING)
Whoa.
I didn't think anybody could do that to Juggernaut.

(EUGENE EXCLAIMING)
EUGENE: I knew it! (LAUGHS)
The legends are true.
(GROANING)
They laughed at me.
But you're real, and you're mine.
March 29th. Eugene Torbett Widerspahn.
Location, Cave of Cyttorak!
(COUGHING)
I am holding the fabled Tablet of Cyttorak.
(LAUGHING)
The power of the ages!
Legend has it that Cyttorak endowed his faithful
with unearthly, mystical powers!
Virtual immortality!
(THUMPING)
"Whosoever touches the ruby..." The ruby!
Oh, my gosh! Where is it?
It won't work without the ruby!
Where is it?
(GASPS)
MAN: Oh, my God!
(SCREAMING)
I'm gonna make you pay for this, Charles!
ALL: Oh, my God!
It's time to come out and play.
(PEOPLE SCREAMING)
Who says you can never find a cab when you need one?
Have CD sell all the Citycab stock.
(SIREN BLARING)
You don't mind, do you, pal? I'm late for a family reunion.
(SCREAMING)
(CAR ENGINE REVVING)
Come back with my cab, you stinking mutant!
I'm not a mutant!
(POLICE SIRENS WAILING)
But I know where one lives.
(CAR BRAKES SCREECHING)
XAVIER: Beast, you are needed, immediately.
BEAST: What happened, Professor?
The Juggernaut has returned.
Given our limited numbers, we shall need an inventive strategy
with which to dissuade Cain from his aggression.
Yes. And we shall need it soon.
Here's Juggy!
(EUGENE LAUGHING)
I found it!
The power of the ages!
Hear me, X-Men!
I need you in the War Room immediately.
X-Men, come in. Over.
X-Men. X-Men!
Cerebro, why can we not contact...
(EXPLOSION)
Hey, Charlie! Why don't you come when I call?
I'm hurt.
Charlie, hope you don't mind.
I let myself in.
(LAUGHING)
Come out, come out, wherever you are!
Hey! That was fun!
Cain, I do not understand your hunger to hurt me.
Quit hiding, you chicken!
Get out here, and fight me like a man!
(ROARING)
Talk to me, Cain.
I'm not gonna fall for stupid carnival tricks!
XAVIER: Why have you always been compelled to hurt me?
You know why!
BEAST: Perhaps I would provide a worthy surrogate,
if you insist on destroying someone.
(GROANS)
Cain!
(CRASHING)
Come on.
EUGENE: "Whosoever possesses the sacred gem...
shall prepare himself to receive the power
of the crimson bands of Cyttorak!
Read these words, and go from this place...
a human juggernaut!"
JUGGERNAUT: Hey! Knock it off!
What are you doing to me?
I am doing nothing!
Beast, where are you?
Professor.
(SCREAMING)
My powers!
No!
Professor, what happened to the Juggernaut?
I'm not certain.
But I know this. He's scared to death!
What is happening, Professor?
Beast, is anybody hurt?
The Juggernaut is trapped beneath the collapsed ceiling.
The Professor insists we free him.
Are you crazy?
In a second he's gonna be knocking us around like play toys!
Cain Marko cannot.
Something absorbed his powers.
My brother is pleading for help. I can sense his mind.
Well, I say, let him plead.
After all the misery he's caused us.
That is not your decision to make!
I'm not asking, I'm telling you.
Help him now!
BEAST: He was somewhere in this vicinity.
Over here!
(GROANING)
(MACHINES BEEPING)
His vital signs are weak, Professor.
He is losing strength rapidly.
Without his Juggernaut healing powers,
Cain will not survive.
Then his powers must be restored.
You got to be kidding.
He has sworn to destroy you.
Professor, consider what you are saying.
Do you think I don't know that?
His very existence tears at me. But he's still my brother,
and I must do everything in my power to save him.
Contact Cyclops and Wolverine in the Blackbird.
Tell them to search near the Cyttorak ruins
for the sacred ruby and the new Juggernaut.
I doubt he'll be hard to find.
CYCLOPS: He wants what?
Give me one good reason why we should help the Juggernaut!
He is also Professor Xavier's brother.
I don't believe what I'm hearing.
Help the Juggernaut?
We're gonna save the Juggernaut's sorry life.
And don't bother telling me you don't like it.
I don't like it.
(YELLING)
I'm big! Wow!
(CHUCKLING)
And these muscles!
I'm a hunk!
Oh, the girls are gonna go nuts!
Any change?
His condition is declining.
This helmet's bigger than my last apartment!
(COUGHING)
(EXCLAIMS)
(SCREAMING)
A probe of his mind may reveal a way to help him.
I'm afraid you're right.
Cain, it is Charles.
-Get out! -You are dying.
Let me help you.
Never!
This is great. I've never had a brother to ride with before.
(GROANING)
Get this. We're not brothers.
We're stepbrothers.
And I'm gonna step on you every chance I get.
(GASPS) Why? I didn't do anything to you.
Cain, leave him alone.
Charles, are you all right?
Yeah, I'm OK. I think Cain was just trying to help me get down.
Charles, go up to the house and get ready for dinner, hmm?
Cain and I have to have a talk. Alone.
You fool! I told you to be nice to the kid.
If his mother dumps me, we'll be out all that money.
(KURT GROANS)
I have to get rid of you fast, or you'll mess up my plans.
What plans?
Sorry I'm late. I was packing.
Where are you going?
What's it to you?
Boarding school. But you just got here.
Oh, yeah. Sorry about before.
It's all right.
He'll be back before you know it.
It's a good school, and this way there's less of a burden on your mother.
Isn't my mother getting well?
Why, sure. She's getting better all the time.
(GROANING)
I see her. She's very ill.
There, there. You're imagining things.
Your mom is fine.
Charles is having one of his headaches.
Take him to bed and call the doctor.
JUGGERNAUT, TELEPATHICALLY: My father sent me away because of you.
XAVIER: But that is not true.
JUGGERNAUT: Yes, it is.
How long do I have to stay at that dumb school?
Until you learn to be nice to that sickly little geek, Xavier.
His mother isn't going to be around much longer.
If you cause trouble, you could blow the whole deal.
(LAUGHING)
JUGGERNAUT, TELEPATHICALLY: My old man was a real piece of work.
XAVIER: It isn't true.
What did you learn?
More than I bargained for.
My stepfather married my mother for her wealth. She loved him.
He never cared for her or me.
How very sad.
The sins of the father.
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)
(THUMPING)
Say, what's a nice girl like you doing with a face like this?
(MAN SCREAMING)
When you could be with me!
Get a grip, freak!
No, no, no, no, look! I'm a big shot!
Really! See? And I'm smart, too!
And, well, not in practical things.
(GROANS) Why doesn't she like me?
Maybe she talked to my mother.
WOLVERINE: Want some pointers?
Women like guys to be themselves.
We can help you get back that way.
Never!
(GROANING)
Looks like we're gonna have to do this the hard way.
Now you're talking.
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)
You don't have to make it that hard.
(GROANS)
WOLVERINE: Got it!
Hey! Bring that back!
Hey! How do you know about me?
(SCREAMING)
Professor, we have the ruby.
BEAST: And not a moment too soon.
XAVIER, TELEPATHICALLY: Cain, recall the day you returned from boarding school.
XAVIER: Why didn't you ever visit us during the summer?
I had better things to do.
(GROANING)
CAIN: Father won't let me come home.
He likes Charles better than me.
Cain, Father doesn't like me more than you.
How did you know what I was thinking?
You read my mind!
You're a mutie!
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. Please, don't tell anyone.
Mutie! Mutie! Mutie!
XAVIER: Cain, I was too young to control my powers.
Can you forgive me?
JUGGERNAUT: Forgive you? You're still doing it!
Messing around where you don't belong!
I made sure everyone hated you.
Mutie! Mutie! Mutie!
Even Sondra!
(JUGGERNAUT LAUGHING)
What happened?
I thought I was over all of this.
But I was so young, and it hurt so much.
Professor...
Do not ask me to forgive my brother.
Cain is nothing but a sadistic bully.
He deserves no sympathy from anyone.
I would not.
I ask only that you should understand him.
You have taught us not to let the past control our hearts.
Tell Beast I shall be with him shortly.
And thank you.
(TELEPATHICALLY) Brother, we must talk. I will meet you in our mind.
The X-Men have brought the Ruby of Cyttorak
to give you back your powers, to save your life.
Hah. What's in it for you?
The satisfaction of knowing I saved your life.
That changes nothing.
I'll always be your living nightmare.
That is my burden to bear.
I don't care.
Can't you get that through your thick skull?
Perhaps one day you will.
Whosoever possesses the sacred gem shall prepare himself
to receive the power of the crimson bands of Cyttorak.
More music! More dancing!
Read these words,
and go from this place a human juggernaut.
Don't let it... Stop?
(SCREAMS)
(COUGHING)
What happened?
Are you OK?
Oh. Thank you!
(SCREAMING)
Well?
Nobody's ever gonna mess with my powers again!
Make your move, tough guy.
Another time, short stuff.
When I'm in the mood.
ROGUE: I see it and I don't believe it.
-Do we follow? -No, Scott.
He chose not to continue his attack.
I believe that is his way of saying, "Thank you."
