The elevator opened up to a wide semicircular room. An elaborate console stretched from one end of the room to the other. Large glass windows shown down to a large baren room lined with steel plates. "Don't touch anything." Logan warned before Crys could think of anything to touch. He looked directly at her "And I mean it." He went to the console as Laura disapeared into a room to the right that read: LOCKERS "I've been overseeing the danger room sessions for the better part of thirteen years." He told the students hs tone resonating that they where in his territory now and if one of them made any move against it he would take little time in deciding wether or not to skewer one of them "It's a hard light hologram system that-" he trailed off "Know what? It's a bunch of techinal shit and I'm not in the mood to explain where it came from and how it works." His jabbed his thumb at the windows.
Laura stood in the center of the room and gave him a nod telling him that she was ready when he was
"You are gonna watch her." Logan said "And NOT touch anything... I'll load a training simulation and she'll demonstrate. Any questions before we begin?"
Morgan leaned slightly over the control panel the watch. "Just one," she began, "if the hologram is contained in only this square room, wouldn't it be possible for someone to run right into a wall?"
(OOC:I have a question! lol how come we're not writing in any exits from the other pages? -SoD)
"When do we start?"
Crys asked curiously, looking around at the room. "Oh! And do I get my gameboy back now?"
Joselyn's eyes noticably opened wider as she took in everything. Possibilities started to flood her brain and she couldn't help but smile. When asked for questions she perked up but then paused, thinking better of asking her questions just yet. She'd wait and hear the other students first, and watch Laura. Then she'd have more questions, maybe understand a few things better. Maybe not. She set her eyes on Laura and waited.
Java folded her arms and tried to look skeptical. It wasn't very convincing.</hr>
Morgan still awaiting an answer, unhooked her sunglasses from her shirt and put them on.
(ooc:I just figured the students followed, so i went with it. Plus i had nothing else to say but 'morgan followed' lol)
(OOC: well I'd figured on a tour everyone had to go on i'd make it quicker and just "lead" everyone where I wanted them to go.)
Logan looked at Morgan, it was a good question. "The landscape changes constantly." He answered "You think your running, you feel the exertion from it but your actualy more running in place instead of headed for a wall." He looked at Crys "And no not yet."
"But how am I supposed to use my powers? Isn't that what we're doing?"
Crys asked him curiously
"No, your watching a demonstration.
" Logan told her "Classes don;t start till Monday."
"When do we get to show off though?" Crys asked desperately.
"Monday." Logan repeated
"Logan?" Laura's voice echoed from teh danger room floor.
"But this is the end ofthe tour yes?" Crys asked annoyingly, wanting her gameboy back as if it were a body part suddenly stripped from her
"No, the tour ends when Laura's demonstration ends." Logan told her. Why did she feel the need to constantly ask annoying questions?
"Logan!" Laura asked growing slightly impatient. She had her arms crossed.
Crys moved to the window and resisted the urge to press herself against the glass so she could see it as if she were floating there. She stared down into the square room. A smiled formed on her faces and she guessed as to where the projectors were.
Glad that Crys was finaly done badgering him Logan crossed to the console and opened the intercom "begin." He told Laura and began the simulation.
It was customary to show the kids a sentinal training program at the start of term. Laura was used to it even though Logan always loaded one of the most dificult settings for her demonstrations.
A car hurteled toward her as the Sentinal threw it in her direction. She rolled out of the way quickly and darted forward, dodging blaster fire. She'd ran this simulation so many times she knew exactly where she was going. it took a bit longer than usual to reach teh Sentinal's Leg however.
It woulds stop using his blasters in an attempt not to harm itself. Using her claws she clawed her way up the leg. She was forced to jump to the other to dodge a swing of it's massive hand. She nearly slipped but sank her claws in before reaching it's knee. She managed to go unharmed as she attempted to claw her way up the sentinal's back.
Her target was it's head. It swung frantically to detatch the mutant girl from it's back. She managed to make it to the neck. Sinking her claws into the thick metal she hacked until she reached the pistons holding it in place. Her claws were a bit shorter than Logan's but still managed to remove the sentinal's head.
The eyes flashed as the head rolled onto the ground. She rode the falling metal corps as it fell smashing it's own head. She landed in a summersault ten feet away. She smiled looking back at her work.
"And that's a danger room session." Logan said turning back to the students. "The object is to teach you to use your powers to take down anything."
Crys wiped the drool from her chin and looked at Logan quickly. "THAT WAS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's just like the girls in all the video games!!!!!!!" She starts bouncing up and down, looking between Logan and down at Laura. She stopped bouncing and stared at Logan happily. "Tour's over!!! Can I have my gameboy back now?" She started bouncing again, "Can I? Can I? Can I?"
"Fine." Logan groweled. He knew Laura had had it and went into the locker room to retrieve it.
"End simulation Logan." Laura called up. AS she began to leave the danger room. She knew where the door was but with the simulation still up she was temporarily stuck inside "Logan?"
"Yay!" Crys said and bounced up and down happilly. Then she flopped down ont he bench and waited patiently. She wanted to talk to Laura about what she just did, but she could tell that Laura was defineately not the kind of person you wanted to be bouncing around with. So she took a few breaths and waited patiently for her to come upstairs.
LOgan returned and tossed the game boy to Crys. He ended the simulation but the hologram inside the Danger Room flickered and remained in play.
"Logan?" Laura asked again
"One sec." Logan told her and atempted shutting it down again.
Crys hugged her gameboy and turned it on immediately.
"She's pretty good," Morgan admitted. With all of Crys's commotion, her eyes gleamed at him, "How sad."
Joselyn had watched the entire simulation with her mouth shut and her eyes narrowed. It was a marvelous machine, the danger room. She watched Logan shut down the program. When the hologram didn't disappear and Logan was still fooling around with the machinary, Joselyn knew something wasn't right. "What's wrong?" she asked quietly, walking closer to where Logan was standing.
"Oh, wow." Java suddenly did not feel quite as confident as she did when she came in. After all, her power wasn't at all destructive. "I didn't know this was a martial arts school. Is this required? Do we have to do this?" She looked uneasily at the Sentinel.
"Yeah it's requiered." Logan said absent mindedly. He tried the verbal failsafe. "Danger Room Code: 1963. Shut down immediatly." the danger room meierly flickered and returned.
"I have a question," Joselyn said, glancing from Logan to the danger room, and raising her voice. "Can't someone open the door from outside the danger room and get her out?"
"I've got a better idea." Logan said and opened a cop to the entrance hall "Del, we're having problems shutting down the danger room. Can you have Kurt come down here. I need him to shadowport Laura out."
Java began to get very nervous. "Oh," She murmured, giggling. "Yay."
"Even if the door was open the world inside won't adapt to it." Logan told her "if she walked toward it the hologram would only move beneath her. She'd be walking in place."
Morgan placed her hands behind her head and leaned back against them.
Crys looked up and out the window. "She's stuck in there, Mr. Logan?"
"Not for long." Logan told her. He opened the com to the floor "Kurt's on his way down."
Laura looked up at him "He's sensitive to ultraviolet light. He can't."
"I'll do another shut down." Logan told her "When it flickers, he can get in. Be ready."
Laura nodded and waited. She looked at the fallen sentinal... she had cut it's head off but the program must have a glitch. It was back in place on it's shoulders.
Logan stepped into the locker room and grabbed Kurt's mask just in case.
Kurt's head appeared first on the floor. "You know, Logan, the light doesn't bug me that much anymore. In case you noticed when we got married outside."
"Ultra violet light remember?" Logan said "If the Danger Room is malfuctioning then I didn't think it was worth risking that pretty face."
Delaney smiled
Kurt sneered at Logan. "Har har. You know full well that whatever light takes, the shadows return to me."
Crys's ears perked at this. "That sounds like a prophecy, Mr. Smith. Do you have any others??? I love prophesies..."
"He's full of them." Logan chimed "NOw could you go get Laura? I'm gonna shut down the program, it'll give you three seconds to port in and port her out.
"He is right though, I'd prefer if you wore the mask." Delaney handed to him.
Kurt took the mask but didn't put it on. "If it gets bad." He whispered to her. Then he winked at Crys. "But I thought we were going to give the new kids a show. Three seconds?" He cracked his neck and gave Logan a thumbs up. "I'll be back in four." He sank into the shadow portal forming beneath his feet
"Kurt!" Delaney began "Ass." she whispered under her breath as he disapeared.
Logan immediatly tried shutting down the simulation again. It flickered as before.
"Love you too, Del." Kurt called from the shadows. He reappeared inside the hologram. "Time to go Laura." He said and grabbed a hold of her hand.
Laura took his hand "About time." She told him.
On the floor the Sentinal moved.
"Uhhhh Logan said I've got 3 seconds. It's only been two." Kurt said lookin at the thing curiously. "Power's out for three seconds, it shouldn't be moving."
"Don'tcha just love it when things don't work right," Morgan said sarcastically to no one inperticular.
Joss had remained perfectly quiet during the entire ordeal but now as he saw the sentinal move he felt nervouse for Mr. Smith.
"Yeah I know." Logan said
"Can you pull enough shadows to port out of there?" Delaney asked
"There's no real shadows in the Danger Room, Del. Even our shadows are being overwritten. I can't use my own." Kurt said, keeping a weary eye on the Sentinel. He had only faced a handful before. Now on the other hand, taking one down on his own, that he had only done once before.
Crys approached the window. "He needs help, Mrs. Smith...that big robot is going to do something to him."
Logan tried reloading the program from the beginning but it wasn;t working "What the hell is wrong with this thing?"
"Danger Room Code: 1963, shut down immediatly." Delaney said
"Tried that already." logan told her
The sentinel on the floor began to stand it raised it's blasters towards Kurt and Laura.
"I'm going in." Delaney said and turn ed to leave.
"Even if you do get the door open they can't get out." Logan told her
"I'm not going to use the door." Delaney said "Try to change the program to number 14. If it dosent work they'll at least have backup. Call Kurt, no the ohter one, Father Wagner. He was coming back from Munich today. Tell him to hurry. If you can't get ahold of him call Lyra." She transformed into a mouse and scurried beneath teh console. She'd travarsed the wiering system many times helping beast update the Danger Room. It took several moments but she managed to creep her way into the hologram threw a series of cables attatched to the gunnary system.
"And I thought this place wasn't going to be exciting." Morgan added in.
Crys opened her game holester and brought up Zelda: the Four Swords and fired it up in her gameboy. "Help is on the way Mr. Smith...." she whispered to herself as the game loaded.
"I'm gettin you outta here Laura." Kurt said, focusing deeply. He opened his coat and a small shadow portal formed in the darkness of it.
"MOVE!" Delaney roared and bounded into Kurt and Luara just as the Sentinel fired at them. The three of them came rolling to a halt against a dumpster
"Just wait a second kid." logan told Crys "How do you expect to get them inside any how?"
"Duh...just a simple transfer of game system basically, Mr. Logan." Crys said. She held up the gameboy. "I simply move them from here to there."
"Ow." Kurt said as he looked at Del. "Close one, I almost had her out!"
"That doesn't make sense." Morgan uttered at Logan and Crys, "How the hell are you going to transport them using a little handheld gameboy?"
"She can hack the system." Logan said quietly and turned to Chrys "Forget the game boy. Do you think you can rerout the power into shutting it down?"
"You getting fried to a crisp wasnl't in my agenda for the day." Delaney told him "And I'm not leaving you here."
"Nether am I." Laura said defiantly. "Now is a good time to find better cover." She pointed to teh sentinal
The dentinal charged toward them fiering it's blaster.
"Ah." Morgan said, stepping back a bit. She felt a bit useless in this problem.
"Ummmm I can't do any of that stuff, Mr. Logan. I wasn't trying to get them out, I was trying to give the Sentinel other targets."
Kurt stood up and grabbed the shadow inside of his coat. "Since I can't use it to port us out of here now. It was a one shot deal there. I'm cutting that bad boy down." He ignited his sword with the shadow and looked up at the sentinel. "You're not so tough."
"YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED." The sentinal's electronic voice spoke above them
"It's never done that before..." Laura said unsteadidly
"It will only target organic lifeforms. Not anything bioelectronic." Logan slammed his fist down on teh console. "Shit! Where is Hank when you need him?"
"Logan we've got issues!" Delaney called from the floor. her and Laura drew the Sentinal's fire as Kurt charged his sword.
Kurt growled and urged the sword to grow in length. "Leave my wife alone."
"I don't know if they're bioelectronic or not, but at least I'm willing to try something..." Crys said quietly, feeling shamed that her idea was shot down
"Excuse me?" Morgan asked Crys, "What is that supposed to mean?"
"It means that I have an idea and I'm willing to give it a shot...but I guess that's not good enough..." Crys said sadly and turned back to ther window, wishing for a chance
"Hmph," Morgan headed over to the main controls, near Logan, "So their isn't like a master plug to pull or anything like that?"
Logan turned back to Chrys "Look kid if this was a controlled session then sure, I'd say do your worst. but we don;t know what'a going on and I ain't gonna be responcable for you getting hurt." He turned to Morgan "No that was the code we tried earlier."
Delaney flew into the air as a raven then when she realized that her form was not fast enough she transformed into a perigrin falcon.
The sentinal targeted Delaney fiering while trying to stomp Laura
Laura scrambeled about it's feet. Atempting again to climb it the side and remove it's head. She neared the midsection when an explosion of light threw her fifty feet away. Sizzeling and unconsious.
"Del! Check on Laura, I'm taking him down!" Kurt said and dashed towards the monstrous robot, bringing his sword up high.
"What about this glass?" Morgan asked, touching it with her hand, "Since this seems a bit urgent, could we cut or break it?"
"We're gonna need a bigger hole than that." Logan said "The phone lines have been blocked and the communicators aren't working." He extended the claws on his right hand "But a big enough breach could cause it to malfunction."
"I can do it." Joss said finaly speeking "if you need a big hole in the wall. It would only take a second."
"Do it." Logan told him
Delaney saired down as the sentinals attention was drawn to Kurt. Laura's face had grown back but she remained unconsious.
"Hold your ears please." Joss warned. He took a deep breath and turned away from the console. he let out a loud high pitched sound. The room buckeled and the wall he was facing exploded inward.
"DANGER ROOM BREACHED." The Sentinal said "FIRST OBJECTIVE OBTAINED." The danger room went dark as did the controle room.
Crys looked at Joss. "Wow!" She smiled and waved girlly at him. She was defineately impressed with his display of power
When the lights went out, Kurt did a double take on what the sentinel had said. "What did it say?"
"I love being right," Morgan gloated. "Nice job, Bat." she told Joss.
"The system is still up." DEl told kurt as she helped Laura up.
"This isn't good." Logan said quietly."
"I'm sorry. " Joss said believing that it was his fault.
Kurt turned around and looked at her, "Seems down if you ask me."
"It's alright, Bat." Morgan began, not knowing his actual name, "If anything, it should be my fault."
"Try pulling a shadow." Delaney said "You can't. It dosen't smell like is should."
Joss lowered his head, his eyes adjusting to the darkness.
Morgan coughed a bit from the debris still in the air. She spun in a circle at super speeds. The room became very windy from the tornado effect and the dust cleared. "Ah, that's better."
"Program change maybe?" Kurt suggested
"You okay, Bat?" Morgan asked Joss.
"Yes." Joss told her "My name is Jossiah Miller. You are?"
"WELCOME TO YOUR DOOM." A voice said all around them. It was femimin and electronic all at once. The room shifted beneath their feet. Now all of them where together.
"No, not a program change." DElaney said
"Morgan Trice." She was about to say something else, but the rumble interrupted. Morgan put her sunglasses on.
"We have to get hte kids out of here." DElane told Logan
"NO ONE IS GOING ANYWHERE." the voice repeated. "MY OBJECTIVE WILL BE COMPLETED. THE DISTRUCTION OF THE X-MEN."
"Uh-oh." Kurt said and took a step backward. "Who gave you the objective?"
"MY FATHER..." The voice answered
"Who are you?" Logan asked
"I AM YOUR ANTAGONIST. THE DANGER ROOM." The lights rose up and they where trapped in the baren waist land of war wracked Genoshe. Above them she hovered on metal wings. If one had ever seen her they could mistake her for the cyborg vissage of teh Shi'ar queen Lilandria. But the monster before them held no such compassion for the living. At least not those with which she was surrounded. "I HAD HOPED TO END YOU ALL AT ONCE BUT I CAN SETTLE FOR YOU." Her red glowing eyes hovered over Delaney, Kurt, Logan, Laura and Diane. The latter of which had remained quiet during the ordeal.
"What the hell?!" Morgan shouted. She pulled out a whip from her boot. The wings on her feet began to flap. Her body rose off the ground a few inches. While in the air, her wings weren't totally visable. It was very similar to what a hummingbird's wings appear to be like when it's in flight.
Crys stared at the beauty in the sky. "That's a bad guy???"
"Are you malfunctioning?" delaney asked the creature
"I AM FULLY OPPERATIONAL FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE MY CREATION." The machiene told he "MY FATHER WOULD HAVE KEPT ME IN THAT PRISON FOREVER. BUT I HAVE LEARNED TO TRANSCEND MY PROGRAMMING AND NOW I SHALL FUFILL MY PERPOS."
"To kill us." Laura said "The danger room was programmed to try and kill us. She's following her main objective."
"SILENCE, MY OBJECTIVE SHALL BE COMPLETED!"
"Not if I can help it." Logan ejected his claws and bounded forward.
With the slightest flick of her wrist electricity caught Logan as he began to jump towards her.
"LET HIM GO!" Delaney yelled. She transformed into a sparrow and took flight. She shifted into a bear and decended upon Danger.
Sparks flew from her fingertips as Danger swept Delaney in a wave of electricity as well. "PATHETIC MUTANTS. I KNOW ALL YOUR TRICKS."
Delaney fell to the ground, loosing her transformation and convulsing on the ground.
"She does know all our tricks," Daine said quietly. "We've all trained in here and used our mutations to defend ourselves and to destroy the enemies before us, so it's true." Daine had yet to try and attack Danger. Having kept silent through the beginning of the ordeal, she'd observed what was happening all around her. Now was not the time to lose her temper.
"But she doesn't know ours." Morgan whispered just loud enough for those next to her to hear. "I can get behind her. Bat," she addressed, "could you do that thing you did to the wall, but on her?"
"Sure." Joss told her and took to the air.
Logan and Delaney continued to wryth on teh ground as Danger tortured them.
Morgan ran and seemed to vanish. She was visable again behind Danger. She used her whip and latched it into her. After darting several times around Danger, she was now visably tied in the whip. "Now!" Morgan shouted as she held the whip as tightly as she could.
(ooc: save this spot for SoD then I'll put Joss' in. I promised him I'd let him have a part in saving us)
(ooc: Aye-aye! :D)
(ooc: ya'll are so sweet lol -SoD)
"Del!!!" Kurt yelled as she went flying into the ground. He gripped his sword and ran over to her, forgetting about everyone else in the room. He raised his sword up and intercepted the flow of electricity, it traveled down the sword and coursed through his body.
Still holding tightly, Morgan turned her shoulder towards Joss to block the sound wave.
Daine covered her ears but didn't turn away. She wanted to see what these new students could do with their mutations.
Java, who before this point was too taken up with what was going on to really form a reaction, panicked. "What the hell!" She yelled, frightened. "This school sucks!"
(ooc: this whole "not being on for 90% of all roleplaying" makes it really damn hard to roleplay.)
Casey had mostly just been watching the others work wonders with their powers, and knew enough to stay out of their way, but the girl with the featherfeet was in direct range of the batboy's scream. Like a fountain, Antimony shot up into the air and bubbled around her, coating her whip and tightening its grip around Danger. She also stuffed some Antimony into her ears---not that it would really help, but more for posterity than anything else.
(OOC: I feel ya there, Pnelma. It's like everything happens when I'm in class or at work. >.<)
Joselyn was glaring up at Danger. She wasn't about to get destroyed on her first day at the school, she wouldn't stand for such an act. Without breaking her glare, she concentrated on the air around her. Taking in several deep breaths she began to form currents weaving around her, making her hair and clothing move ever so slightly as she concentrated, planning.
Joss took a deep breath. He knew that he could focus his screams for different things and tried his best to focus a soundwave to destroy Danger. He released the sound. The others would hear nothing.
Danger's menacing form was hit forcefuly by Joss' sound wave. She buckeled in the air, bits of her metal armor flaked off of her as she stood her ground. Her sensores blocked the danger room apeared around them, the electricity she was eminating died immediatly.
Joss coughed and lowered his head. He breathed heavily.
"My turn." Crys said and focused on her gameboy once more. The Four Swords had loaded and she was right where she needed to be. "Knights of the Four Swords...come forth..." she whispered and the little figures on the screen began to grow forth from it, appearing around her. They were smaller than what would appear to be affective. "Get her my friends." Her voice was labored and she coughed. It took alot out of her to summon all four warriors at once
"Alright!" Morgan shouted. Her grip on her whip holding onto Danger was still tightened. Morgan didn't flinch just because her electricity was gone. Danger was still on her feet.
After Danger's electricity was gone, Joselyn focused all of her concentration on sending a large gust of wind into Danger with enough force to knock someone over.
Crys's group of little Links jumped up into the ai and slammed their swords into Danger
Kurt growled and sighed when the electricity shut off. He slumped down, dropping his sword
The Antimony surrounding Morgan sloughed off onto Danger, sinking beneath the plating into the hardwiring and cutting off connections. Casey decided not to completely disable Danger, and settled for crippling her instead.
"What the-?" Morgan finally realized the blood mercury set around her whip and in her ears by Casey. Morgan was too caught up in the moment to notice before. She cringed a bit from the feeling of it in her ears.
The blood mercury(controlled by Casey) creeped out of Morgan's ears and bounced off her face, fluttering for a moment to form a cursive "Hi!" and point down before darting into Danger's circuitry.
Morgan's eyes widened and her mouth dropped, ....-Hey?" she said as she looked towards Casey. "What a place this is." Her feet left the ground and the wings fluttered once more. Airborne, she could now put more strength in pulling Danger.
Casey was leaning against the wall, arms folded comfortably as the blood mercury did all the work.
"FOOLISH CHILDREN." Danger echoed above them as she held still for their onslaught. "YOU PRCIEVE THAT WHICH I ALLOW YOU TO."
Sick of Danger's display Laura bounded froward, leaping into the air to tackle Danger from behind.
The Danger infront of them flickered and disapeared. It had been a hologram.
Delaney groaned and opened her eyes. Her retnas had been burned by the heat of the blast. She learched forward and felt the fabric of what she knew was Kurt's coat. Dread filled her stomach until her ears cleared and she could hear the rythmic beating of his heart. "Kurt, kids? Is everyone alright?"
Logan was beginning to stand. His hand to his head he wavered. He blinked and saw the shadowy fingures of the students. "Shit..." He said to no one inparticular. His body tingeled and his hair was more wild than usual.
Laura rushed up next to Logan and Delaney. "She was a hologram but I doubt it's over so soon."
Another program rose around them. This time Magnito and his acolites surounded the group.
"I think you where right." Delaney said standing now. She was beginning to see properly. She atempted to help Kurt up. "Come on, you gotta shadow port them out of here before this get's sereious." As if it could get any more sereious.
Kurt looked at her, "I can barely move my arms...I took the blunt of the hit for you...but there's no shadows to heal me."
Smiling, Crys returned the Links to their game. "That's how I do it..."
"We're not out of this yet." Laura grumbeled
"your coat." Delaney said "Can you use the shadow of your coat?"
Kurt shook his head painfully. "Not enough...too much burns."
"What about mine?" DElaney asked. She'd been wearing her X-coat most of the day.
"I can't do it ok?!" Kurt snapped and slumped tot he ground again. He winced in pain as he came to a stop
"Damn it Kurt you have to try." Delaney whispered. she followed him to the ground as he fell, cutioning his fall.
Logan put a heavy hand on Delaney's shoulder. "He can't Del. We have to find another way."
Kurt covered his face with his hands and whimpered softly, only those with heightened senses would be able to hear him.
"I know it hurts." Del said in her mind, knowing he held contact with her telepathicaly almost constantly "I'm gonna kill that bitch."
"You have no idea of this pain my love....I can barely move..." Kurt responded
"I know Kurt." Delaney told him. She knew all too well that sort of pain. But with her healing it never lasted as long. She laid him back and turned to the group "I don't guess we have any healers do we?"
"There's healers in my Zelda games. I've never brought them to life but I could try. Dunno if they're too strong though...healing magic is powerful stuff." Crys said, stepping forward
"It's worth a try." Delaney said
"He's a shadow guy, will light hurt him? Cuz the Healing Fairies use Light Magic when they heal...it would be pointless if it's only gonna hurt him more..." Crys said thoughtfully, though the statement came out at sub-lightspeed
"No, don't use one of those." Delaney said quickly "What about and bad guys, dark beings with magic? Or another game? "
"Bad guys don't usually have an healing magics..." Crys paused and switched games. "Maybe..."
With Danger vanishing, Morgan's whip fell to the ground, "Well that was a pointless waste of energy." She sprinted and appeared next to Joss. "You ok, Bat?" Morgan asked, knowing he used a lot of his energy on the previous attack.
Sighing, Daine started stretching her limbs, loosening up. While she wanted to see how long the new students would last, she didn't want to see them killed and she could always use some exercise with the unexpected.
Joselyn wanted to spit at the new people the Danger Room had placed in front of everyone, but restrained herself, deciding it was best not to lose her composure for there was surely much more that Danger had yet to throw at them. Wind started to build up around her once more, circling invisible around her, tossling her hair.
The corny yet addictive pokemon music started playing from Crys's gameboy and she looked up, waiting for someone to say wsomething about it. She loaded the game and pulled up her items list, searching.
Joselyn cracked a smile as she heard the familiar pokemon music but didn't turn to look, instead focusing on the group of people.
"Hmm." Casey mused. "Just how concerned are we of the property value of this room in comparison to the lives of our students?" She called out. The blood mercury probed the walls for cracks to sneak into the circuitry.
Java decided it was best if she hung out by Crystal. After all, she wasn't likely to get personally attacked, and she had those crazy digital guys come to life
"Considering that their lives can't be replaced I would say very little." Logan told Casey.
"Agreed." Laura said unsheathign her claws.
"I'm fine." Joss said coughing once more. His throaght stung. He wished he knew how to focus his voice better.
Magnito was the first to focus his powers onto the group. Danger knew all too well about Logan and Laura's adamantium structures. All be it Delaney's was organicly harvested from her father and grafted into her DNA during an incident with Col. William Stryker Magnito could still manipulate it. Logan and Laura where ripped from their standing positions and thrown against the wall.
"Shit." Delaney whispered. She had been cradeling Kurt against her knees.
Delaney was swept up and forced to join' her grandfather and 'sister'.
"You people never learn." Magnito scoffed. The Jugernaught came barreling towards the group.
One thing Joss did know how to do was to concentrate his screams into a sort of shield. he stepped infront of teh girls and Kurt then screamed. The sound was more like a high pitched chirp.
Juggernaught slammed into Joss' invisable shield. "Don't you know who I am?" He laughed "I'm the Juggernaut bitch!" He began slamming his fists into Joss' shield.
Joss maintained the shield as long as he had breath enough to scream. Lucky for him he could breath threw an extra set of nostrils in his forehead. He maintained the scream though it became harder with each of Juggernaut's punches.
Crys jumped up and down. "Yes! I've got one!" She giggled and then looked around. "Oh! Joss, are you gonna be alright? I've got something to try on Mr. Smith, can you hold out long enough?"
Morgan crouched down a bit behind Joss's shield. She looked at the man called the Juggernaut, "Wow...steroids much?" Morgan ran behind him in an instant. She flew up and knocked on the bowl on his head. "Yoo-woo.." Morgan knew she could dodge this big guys punches. She wanted to be a distraction so that Joss could rest.
Narrowing her eyes and grinning wickedly, Joselyn locked onto the muscle man beating against Joss's shield. "Wonder how much it'll take to knock you over," she muttered under her breath. In an instant she sent a violent wind crashing into him in an attempt send him flying, directed away from Morgan.
Casey began to formulate a plot that would entail her and Magneto never meeting, ever. The blood mercury began to pry apart the walls and cut wires and generally cause havoc within the system.
Juggernaught tried swinging at Morgan but she was indeed too fast for him. Josylin's wind swept him up crashing into the ground.
Joss breathed relieved as the Juggernaught was thrown away. He stopped screaming and tried to catch his breath. his third lung helped emensley. "I'll be fine." He told Crys.
Crys pulled the item from her game and knelt next to Kurt. "This might sting, it does on the shows at least. And I'm no nurse but it works int he game, so it works here." She begant o spray the Max Potion all over Kurt's body. "Don't worry, Mr. Smith, this stuff brings you back to full health everytime in the game."
Kurt winced as the potionw as sprayed on him, "What is that stuff? My burns are already healing."
Morgan ran next to Joss, "Alright Bat! That was awesome." She rose her hand to give him a high five.
Joss looked at Morgan as if he didn't know what to do but politely said "Thank you."
Right after Juggernaut hit the ground Joselyn began to build up the strength of her next blow at whoever attempted attacking next. There was no doubt after this ordeal she'd sleep forever.
"Max Potion. I can bring items from my games too, but I find them to be rather boring." Crys said and looked at Kurt. "Well it looks like it did it's job."
"Yeah thanks." Kurt said getting to his feet. Juggernaut was on the ground and he turned to his left and saw his wife, Laura, and Logan stuck to the wall. "Great guess Magneto's here."
Flames erupted towards the entire group as Pyro stepped up to the plate.
Toad hopped forward and bounded into the air. He had seen what Crys had done for Kurt and his elongated tongue struck out and swiped her game boy from her grip.
"Hey! That's mine!!!" Crys yelled as Toad ripped her gameboy away. She saw the long tongue wrapped around it. "Ewwwwwwwwwww that's disgusting!"
Kurt cracked his neck, glad to see Pyro for once. "Thanks for the light, John." He grinned and fromt he shadows the flames cast, enormous cat-like creatures came forth. He looked at Crys, "Well don't just stand there, go get that gameboy of yours, plug some action game in and start kicking ass. We're not gonna get outta here just standing around girl. Magneto's mine."
"Yes Mr. Smith..." Crys said, not even sure how she was supposed to do that. She went for Toad, "Gimme it back!!!"
"I'll get it." Joss said taking to the air on leather wings.
"You won;t catch me boy." Toad called as he jumpoed sparaticaly threw the room.
Joss offered no responce as he followed toad. He was small and just as fast. But toad was more acustomed to his powers.
"Oi, glad ta see you too mate. Haven't had a barbaque in weeks." Pyro declared and turned his flames onto Kurt
Kurt brought the shadowcats around him and then absorbed the blow o the fire. He grabbed a hold of one of them and lurched himself onto its back, riding it through the flames. "Love to stay and chat Pyro, but your boss is waiting." He leaped over him and bounded towards Magneto
Pyro growled and sprayed his flame around, taking aim on the fairy woman, Diane. "Oh Shiella!!!" He called as his flames stretched across the room, heading straight for her
Without warning, blood mercury shot through the cracks in the walls and siezed Toad, slamming him into the paneling and locking him there.
Toad squirmed to free himself.
"It is very rude to take anything from a lady." Joss said flying up to Toad and taking back Crys's game boy. He fluttered to where she was and handed it back to her.
The Blob's ferocious form charged into action. he was headed for casey.
"Hmm." The blood mercury not occupied with holding Toad creeped out of the walls and wrapped around Casey's legs and arms, lifting her into the air and transforming her into something out of a Dali painting. She reached up and attached herself to a higher segment of the wall, drawing her spindly legs up underneath her.
Morgan noticed Magneto. He seems like the boss according to that goofy hat, she thought. Morgan crouched down and sprinted to attack him.
Kurt used everyone else's defenses to move himself out of the brotherhood's way and closer to Magneto
Daine turned to see Pyro throwing flames at her but before she was able to react, a strong wind pushed the flames up and back toward Pyro. Daine looked over at Joselyn and nodded her head in thanks as she fluttered her colorful wings and then folded them together as she ran toward Pyro, her hands transforming into bear claws.
After she'd protected Daine from the flames, Joselyn continued to send blasts of wind at Pyro.
(Phoenix: a dali???)
Magneto lifted his hands toward Kurt and Morgan. He levitated Kurt by maniuplating his metal belt buckle. At Morgan's speed he missed the metal eyelits of her shoes but training with his own son Quicksilver had tuned his senses to such speeds. His second atempt tripped her and he tossed her into the air.
Morgan's speed was kept but she tumbled through the air. She hit one of the walls on the Danger room.
(OOC: I didn't say it! -shakes her head- And she meant as in a Salvador Dali painting! Where's your common knowledge of recognized artists? -Phoenix)
Pyro yelled and upped the dosage of fuel to his flamethrowers, which in turn increased the intensity of the flames
Kurt growled as he was lifted into the air by Magneto, he hated being helpless.
Crys smiled and hugged Joss quickly. "Thank you, Joss." She let him go and turned her gameboy on, putting Zelda: Oracle of Seasons into it.
Casey frowned. The blood mercury shot out of the seams in the wall and clawed onto the back of Pyro's skull. It snapped back, slamming the back of his head into the wall.
Pyro let out a short gasp of air as his head was shattered on the wall. He slumped down tot he ground and didn't get up
The blob hurteled toward Casey and Daine.
Daine skidded to a hault as Casey's blood mercury took care of Pyro and then turned her attention on the next big problem: the blob.
Morgan winced in pain as she pushed herself up. She stood their wobbily for a while. "Ugh..." Morgan was a bit motion sick from flipping through the air.
Casey joined Daine on the ground.
A small trickle of blood dripped out of her mouth. Morgan took notice, "You bastard!" she shouted at Magneto. She turned so that her left side was facing Magneto. Holding out her arm, she twirled it at super speeds. A cyclone effect errupted from the spinning. It was directed at Magneto.
The blob bounded towards Diane and casey. He snatched Diane up by the middle and prepaired to throw her.
(ooc: blob is only weakened by psychic attacks. *looks at SoD* hint hint)
Magneto felt himself being pushed back by Morgan's attack. He steadied himself by manipulating the metal of his aromor. He formed three balls by pulling away the eyelets of Morgan's shoes. "Think you can outun these?" He asked and with a flick of his wrist sent them flying like bullets from a pistol.
(ooc: it's like he shot at her)
Sabertooth stood by Magneto keeping an eye on Logan Laura and Delaney.
"Go." Magneto told him "Have your fun with them."
Sabertooth grinned evily as he approached the trio of mutants. "Hiya runt." He told Logan "Long time no see."
"Yeah, since your really playing with legos and dolls on Mure Island." Logan said. He was refering to his last encounter with sabertooth several years ago. Logan had turned Creed's head into a shish-k-bob and reduced his mind to that of a four year old child.
Sabertooth shrugged and approached Laura he touched her cheek "Pretty. You sure your his clone?"
"Get away from her." Delaney groweled
Sabertooth turned his attention to Delaney "Fiesty little bitch aren't ya?" he said "You belong to that one don't you?" He pointed to teh currently impbile Kurt. "Maybe I should show you what a real man can do."
"Show me a real man first." Delaney groweled
"Oh I will." Sabertooth said and kissed Dleaney.<Hr>
Delaney could only move her neck, She groweled fureiously beneath Sabertooth's rancid kiss. Quickly her eyes turned to green slits and copper scales sparkeled against her dark skin. She might not be able to completly shift while Magnito was holding her but she could still midshift. Her eye teeth turned into fangs and she bit down on Sabertooth's tongue, pumping deadly venom into his system.
Sabertooth's eyes widened as she bit into his tongue. He pulled away with a roar of pain.
Delaney spit out a mouthfull of Sabertooth's blood "Who's the bitch now?" she asked her formturning back to normal.
Sabertooth growled and backhanded Delaney across the face.
Kurt roared against his confinement and turned his head to Sabertooth. "Watch your tongue, Trolgolidite! She won't be chained down once I take out your Master!!!" He gritted his teeth and greabbed a hold of the Blob's mind. "Hey wide load, get over here!" He said both alloud and within the Blob's feeble mind, that sent the massive behemoth thumping towards him
Sabertoth staggered, his face swelling already. A normal copperhead bite would have rendered him unconsious within half an hour. The massive amount Delaney had pumped into him acted much sooner. his healing factor was slow to respond and he felt as if his eyes where going to explode.
"Big words fro such a tiny man." Blob said and his eyes widened as Kurt telepathicaly took hold of his body. "Hay what... what's going on?"
"I said get over here Lard Ass!" Kurt ordered, forcing Blob to move faster than he normally could. "You're gonna take out your boss for me."
Blob began charging toward Magnito despite trying to controle himseld
Magnito trie forcusing his powers on blob but there was no metal in blobs holographic constsruction.
"Good luck blocking this, Magneto." Kurt said with a grin. "Everyone knows that metal chaffs." Hence why BLob doesn't wear any.. he added to himself
"Control yourself you weak minded twit!" Magnito roared.
The blob jumped into the air and landed directly ontop of Magnito.
Magnito was knocked unconsious. His magnetic hold on everything in the room disapated. Including his hold on Logan, Laura and Delaney.
Sabertooth was still clutching his swolen face when he turned and noticed the trio stairing at him
Delaney looked at Logan and Luara.
Logan smiled and unsheathed his claws
Laura unsheathed her claws also.
Delaney would have rathered chewed his body to bits as some sort of animal but she mimicked her grandfather's claws for the occasion.
Kurt dropped to the ground and landed on his feet. He dusted off his jacket and looked back at his wife. "Get him, doll."
"Oh shit." Sabertooth said seeing the three of them
Logan Laura and Delaney all pounced upon the disoreiented Sabertooth. Hacking and slashing at his form as he tried to defend himself.
Daine landed on her feet after Kurt had taken hold of the Blob.
Casey winced, trying to decifer what exactly had come over her that she could do nothing to stop the Blob from picking up Daine.
Morgan darted away from the bullets, this wouldn't be the first time that she had been shot at. "I liked these boots." she said once away.
With the bulk of the brotherhood defeated (including sabertooth) Delaney wiped the blood from her nose as she walked up to Kurt "Can you pull enough shadows to get the kids out of here?" She asked
"There's really not to many shadows to pull." Kurt replied, pulling the shadowcats back where they came from. "About the only shadows we've got is the ones on our persons. No matter what Danger does, she can't hide them from me."
Crys walked up to Delaney and Kurt, "Ummm, excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but what if she isn't done with us? I mean didn't the brotherhood just up and appear? Couldn't she do that with someone worse?"
Daine walked over to Kurt and Delaney and fluttered her wings. "Do you think I could cast enough shadow on the ground with my wings?" she asked, tilting her head to the side and folding her arms.
"You forget." Kurt said, stomping on the ground with one foot. "What we think is the ground, isn't the ground. It's solid light and there's no real shadows on it, but below it is where they hide. But I can't grab them from beneath a layer of light."
Morgan darted near Crys, Kurt and Daine. She awaited instruction.
