"So what's next?"
Kurt asked alloud. Everyone knew this wouldn't be the last fight here.
"There is a flaw in Dangers prigramming."
Delaney said "she's used to our powers. I didn't use mine. She didn't know how to react. We can't beat her." She pointed to teh students "But they can." She turned to the kids "It's your choice though. You can leave since I won. or you can stay and possibly get killed."
"If we're the key to stopping this, I say we stay."
Crys said boldly. She put her gameboy in its holster and smiled.
"We came here to learn to use our powers, didn't we?"
Joselyn said, hooking her thumbs on the back pockets of her jeans. "I'll stay and fight. I never run from a fight."
"Congratulatio
ns on not dying," Casey piped snidely. "Anyway, it's easier on you students if you're capable of leaving whenever you need to. That does leave the adults rather stranded, though."
Java, remaining hidden as best she could throughout the ordeal, spoke up timidly. "Uh..I...don't really have a power that would help any in a fight," she said apologetically. "All I can do is jump high and surface glide, so...uh." She shrank, Joselyn and Crys's bravery sending her on a guilt trip. "I'd just get in the way."
"Don't say that." Joss said to Java "You've just not yet found your worth. The only good I've ever done is destroying things."
"It's yur choice." Delaney told her "But I think we can goat Danger out of hiding. If you kids are up for it?"
"What do we have to do?" Crys asked her curiously
"What else would we do if we left?" Morgan asked sarcastically, "This seems to be where the party's at." She put her hands on her hips.
"She has a point," Joselyn said, jabbing her thumb in Morgan's general direction. "Besides, we can't learn very much without teachers to teach us, so it'd be worth our while to help you out, after all."
A smug grin arose on Morgan's face, "Exactly."
"Well I'm sure Danger can hear everything we're saying so..." Delaney turned to Kurt "Would you mind? I think a bit of telepathic communication would come in handy at the moment."
Kurt sighed, You know, it's only a matter of time before she realizes we're talking via telepathy and throws the neural inhibitor on me. he told them all, linking their minds together through him
This is kind of weird... Crys said, hearing what he said in her mind
"I don't think she would." Delaney said "She want's to defeat us on her own terms. That means doing it with our powers. If she wanted to depower us she would have by now. But I think I can goat her back into showing herself. If you kids are up for it?"
This is cool and all, but having to worry about being destroyed is not really something I signed up for. I kinda want to learn to use my powers and let that be it. Crys said with a nod, I'm up for it.
Woah. Uh. Casey coughed awkwardly, not used to telepathic links with people. When she spoke with the blood mercury, it was usually a stream of emotions and phantasmagoria. It was difficult for her to put things into words now. Well.. I still don't see how Danger setting up another hologram of.. herself, would...uh, help us beat her. Win.
That part is actually easy! Crys chimmed in, When Danger reveals herself, she actually isn't in holographic form. Well she is, but at the same time, she's not. I've noticed it. She's actually revealing her entire AI structure to us. I can see these things cuz of my power to read the programming. I kinda have to read it in order to bring it into reality...
"I'll do whatever I can do to help." Joss said.
"If you can read the codes she uses then that can be helpful." Delaney said "Can you find a way to delete them?"
that's something I can't do. I can only see the codes in the character itself. I know that when's she revealed, she puts her entire self into the hologram, a rookie mistake really, leaving nothing behind like that... Crys explained in a very geek like manner
"What if you can pull something out that can delete it?" Laura offered "Like a character who is predisposed to overwrite codes."
You mean like someone who's purpose is to destroy? Most of them are badguys, end bosses and the like. That would be like bringing say War for example out of a game and trying to control him. Most of the ones with the real power are simply uncontrolable... Crys explained sadly, she really hated explaining bad news
"What about going old school?" Logan asked "You got a pac-man game in that thing of your's?"
Pac-man! Of course! He's about the only good guy who can do it, well there's Kirby too, but he's too powerful. Pac-man is just the right thing for the job. He destroys and you gets points for it, the only thing that stops him is the maze wall itself.. Crys explained with joy. She had to resist the urge to hug Logan now.
"It's a plan then." Delaney said "I'll get danger to show herself. You kids be ready. We need to distract her from Crys. keep her busy. Joss you think you can do that thing you did to War?"
"Sure." Joss said confidently
I shouldn't need that long, Pacman isn't the most powerful character out there. He's a classic and they're pretty weak on the powerscale really. Crys admitted as she took out the pokemon game and inserted her classic nintendo game. She moved through the menu and opened the pacman game
"Well we don;t want her to get too suspicious," del said "We want her to think she's winning."
Then..those of us..who are not..uh. Occupied, with disassembling her, should..request a badman--a challenge, I mean, a little too big for us to handle. Someone agile. Casey emphasised this in Joselyn's and Java's minds.
Did you have someone in mind? Kurt asked her curiously, thinking of someone himself
Joselyn had avoided thinking anything loudly. The voices in her head were a bit frightening at first, as if someone could finally label her as insane, but she caught the emphasis that Casey had placed, the thought had been louder than all the rest and caused her to look to Casey and then to Kurt.
"Something tells me we'll have our hands full with her on our own." Laura said
"I know your communicating telepathicaly." Danger's voice echoed over them. "Whatever your planning it won't work."
"Show time." Delaney said and turned away from the group. "We've pretty much proved that we can take down anything you send us. The Brotherhood, Apocylips' Horsemen. If your so big n bad why don't you show yourself?"
"I know what your trying to do Windego." Danger said "You think you and those children can defeate me."
"Then give us a shot." Delaney told her "We've taken down your best programs. So far you've just given us a good workout. Besides wouldn't it be more sweet if you defeated us on your own?"
Danger did not answer but threw a port in the roof she lowered herself. She activated a program around them to hide the door. It appeared as if they where in a large metalic bubble.
Daine drew her wings back into her shoulder blades, not wanting them to get damaged. She knelt down and slipped her hand between her ankle and boot, unhooking the holder of two thin throwing knives she tended to keep on her person. Straightening up, she took hold of one blade in each hand and glanced around at everyone else.
Kurt raised his shadow sword defensively and glared at Danger. She was by far the most relenting enemy they had faced thus far, able to throw their old enemies at them and know all their strategies, something none of the others were ever able to do before.
Turning to her side, Daine raised her left hand, grasping the dull end of the blade, her other hand out to the side. She was ready to strike Danger with something she'd never practiced in the Danger Room before.
simultaniously Logan and Laura unsheather their claws.
Delaney midshifted into a cougar.
Joss rose off the ground. He began breathing with his third lung to prepair.
Just remember, cover Crys long enough for her to bring out our secret weapon. Kurt reminded them all as he swept his hair back out of his face. "I've gotta do something about this...buggin the hell outta me."
"But it makes you look so sexy." Delaney said unsheathing her claws.
"Come and see me after this and I'll give you a hair cut." Laura scoffed readying her stance
Kurt turned and looked at Laura with a blank stare on his face. He just stared at her, his jaw dropped and mouth gaping open.
"What?" Laura said "I do Logans."
Logan laughed
""That's what I'm afraid of." Kurt replied under his breath.
"ENOUGH OF THIS!" Danger bellowed and sent a wave of electricity towards teh group
"Not this time!" Kurt declared and slashed his sword through the wave, grabbing it with the shadow blade and redirecting it harmless to the ground.
Delaney took her chance to pounce. Small razor sharp shadow adamantium claws dug into Dangers armor. She bit into her neck from behind.
"Down kitty!" Danger yelled grabbing Delaney and ripping her off of her back
joss gathered his breath and screamed the same song he had screamed at War.
Danger was forced back several feet by Joss' scream and sent a bold of electricity at him
joss instantly fell quiet and landed on the ground twitching.
Laura and Logan both attacked danger, diggin their claws into her mid section and back.
Danger summoned an electronic field around herself and zapped the two mutants off of her.
Kurt took his chance and leaped at her, thrusting his sword down into her forehead, the shadow pushing the electric field apart just as he did with the wave she sent at them just seconds ago.
Crys stood low tot he ground as she moved through her game menus, focusing on Pacman.
Daine charged toward Danger, leaping at her and digging her dangers into the side of her arm in an attempt to cut wires.
Joselyn was standing in front of Crys, a wall of wind up around her and everyone within a few feet around her and Crys. If she had to, she'd grab Crys and fly.
"Bat!" Morgan shouted as she darted next to him. She knelt down by Joss and placed her hand on his shoulder, "Can you hear me?" she shook him lightly. Morgan picked him up, I have to get him out of Danger's focus. She darted across the room, away from the group. "Bat?" she asked again.
Casey called the blood mercury to herself and grappled up to Danger. With a command, the blood mercury seeped behind Danger's armor through the tiny cracks between plates. Once inside, they formed small, spinning razorblades that cut through any wiring they found. Casey formed blades on her fingers and began cutting holes in Danger's chest.
Seeing Morgan trying to speak to him Joss stopped singing "WHAT?" He yelled then realized he was being too loud "Oh sorry, it's hard to hear while I'm doing that."
"CHILDISH GAMES!" Danger bellowed and used her electro magnetic field to push everyone a good tenty feet away from her, even Casey's blood mecury.
"Jeez!" Morgan backed up after he shouted. "Just making sure your alright. Glad to see that you are." she winked at him. Her eyes widened as Danger's electrical wave hit her. Morgan screamed as she was thrown back.
Joss used his wings to catch himself. Seeing Morgan thrown away also he chirped quickly in her direction, diploacing the energy around her so she would come to a safe landing
Morgan looked at Joss and smiled. Never before had anyone gone out of their way to help her like that. She darted and reappeared next to him. "Thanks." she pecked him on the cheek.
The inside of Joss' ears turned blood red as he blushed.
Morgan smiled. This was somewhat strange considering the situation they were all in. "I feel so useless in all of this hell. You can at least attack! All I'm really good at is running."
"Well against her I'm hardly any use at all." Joss said
"Quit yer yappin and do something!" Logan roared and rushed forward with Laura on his heels.
"Kurt!" delaney yelled "Throw me!" She turned into a monkey and jopped into his arms. "Use your power to throw me.
Morgan lowered her sunglasses, "Here goes nothing." She dashed at Danger and began to circle around her as fast as she could. From the unmeasurable speed she was creating, a large wind tunnel surrounded Danger. Morgan was attempting to lift her into the air.
Kurt swung his sword at Del and changed it into a hand, wrapping around her delicately, but firmly. He swung her forward and let her fly right at Danger
In mid-flight Delaney turned into a rinoserous and barreled into Danger.
Morgan saw Delaney headed right for Danger. She ran faster to lift Danger a bit higher for her.
Danger went crashing to the ground
Delaney slit to a stop and shifted into her hunan form.
Danger hovered upright "I am going to enjoy killing you." She fired a bolt of electricity at Delaney
Kurt focused and stretched the shadow sword forward, it thinned greatly as it went though. The electricity flowed down it. "That's my wife, you crazy bitch. No one is going to be killing her!"
Logan attacked Danger from behind, shoving his claws up threw her rib cage
"Have you found that damn thing yet?" Laura asked Crys
Delaney shot up. Her animal forms where useless against danger. She could only susceed in knocking her over. Anything more left her being electrocuted
"Got it!" Crys declared and started focusing to summon Pacman
"Kurt get out of there!" Laura called
Delaney turned hearing Laura's warning. She saw Crys focusing over her game boy
Morgan took Laura's warn into her own account and backed up aswell. She darted back near Joss again, "I hope this works."
"Oh," Java exclaimed. "I hadn't anticipated being quite this useless." She skimmed along the ground, observing.
Casey felt a little winded from the electricity shock, what with more than half of her being iron deposits. "Because, of course, holy matrimony between mutants is a bond nigh impossible to break." It wasn't quite sarcasm.
Daine had tucked and rolled when Danger had sent everyone flying, easily getting back to her feet, but cutting her hands on the blades she held. Blood was running down her fingers and wrists. Before putting the blades away, she cut off strips from the end of her shirt and tied them around her hands to stop the bleeding.
Still upholding a strong wind around Crys, Joselyn glanced back at the girl. "Just tell me when you have Pacman ready and I'll put down the shield," she said, sweat dripping down her face.
Kurt slammed his shadow sword into Danger, her electric wave was diverted by his sword and he was the only one standing close enough to attack.
Crys gave Joselyn a thumbs up. "Ready when you are." She hit a button on her gameboy, "Come on out Pacman!" A bright light beamed from the gameboy screen and the familiar walka-walka could be heard from the growing circular shadow
"Well that's different," Morgan observed, "Well then again, I guess most of today is too." The wings on her ankles folded.
The wind shield died down in a matter of moments and Joselyn skidded off to the side to let Pacman do his thing, while she couldn't suppress a giggle. Where else could you see video game characters being used to save the lives of real people? She could already tell she'd enjoy life at Mutant High.
"One more thing!" Crys said and pulled a power pellet out of the game, tossing it in front of Pacman. "Devour and Conquer!" She giggled at that and watched appreciatively as Pacman ate the power pellet, then turned his eyes on Danger
"For some reason...I'm doubtful." Morgan admitted to Joss.
Danger'sa alugh echoed threw the room "This is what you bring to defeate me?" she asked "A childs video game... a retro video game at that!" Danger sent an electromagnetic surge towards pac-man and was shocked that it did not work.
Delaney saw that Danger's attack did not work. It wouldn;t be long before she figured out something that would. She shifted into a bull and from her point behind Danger she charged. Slamming her horns into her back and forcing her into the path of Pac-Man.
Danger atempted to stop herself but it was too late. Pac-Man devouered her in one simple bite. Immediatly her security connecting her to the physaical danger room became severed and the room returned to normal. Danger was gone.
Daine's face lit up with relief when everything returned to its normal state. "Let's leave," she said, moving her hands, the strips of cloth soaked in her own blood. "I need some fresh air and everyone needs rest."
Joselyn ran her fingers through her hair and then hooked her thumbs on her back pockets. There was still sweat dripping down the sides of her face and she was extremely tired. It was still hard for her to manipulate wind inside and it took a lot of her energy and concentration. "I'm with the fairy," she said, quietly, but loud enough for everyone to hear.
"That was soo cool!" Java gushed. "...But...If that's the training.." She grew quiet. "..Maybe I should just go home."
Casey looked over at her. "Not everything is action and explosions, kid." She drew the blood mercury around her like a blanket, trailing on the floor. "Daine's right. We should finish the tour later. That was an impressive display of power." She nodded approvingly at Joselyn.
Looking at Casey, Joselyn gave her a thankful smile. "Thanks," she said. "I've never seen anything like your powers. It's as if you pulled them straight from the place of nightmares."
Casey cocked an eyebrow and grinned, taking it as a compliment. "Thank you. It comes in handy."
"It seemed to be more than just 'handy' during the fight," Joselyn pointed out. She looked around at everyone, back at the exit and sighed. "I really need to get out in the fresh air to catch my breath."
"That's a good idea." Casey strode towards the exit. "Nothin' else to see here, folks. Move along."
Morgan's stomach growled. "I wonder if their's anything to eat around here. You hungry, Bat? Crys?"
Crys pulled Pacman back into his game before giving Danger the chance to reform in the center of the room like the ghosts do in the game. She fell to her knees. "never thought a character like him would come in so handy...I just keep the game cuz it's fun." She looked up at Morgan and smiled. "I'm starving!" Her eyes moved to Kurt and she smiled, "Where's the cafeteria, Mr. Smith?"
"Looks like we won't be using the Danger Room for a while ." Laura said
Logan smiled "Then I'm sure we'll be using field exersizes."
Delaney stood next to Kurt and took his hand.
"Actualy I am a bit." Joss told morgan
"Well, if you would all follow us, we'll stop down and get something to eat." Kurt said in a very tour guideish manner, his hand gently squeezing his wife's
"Forgot my coat." Delaney said and snagged it off the ground returning to her husband
Kurt smiled and pulled her into a gentle and quick kiss. "alright everyone, let's go."
"Not infront of the students." Delaney hissed giving Kurt's ass a gentle pinch.
Joselyn followed behind Casey, eyes downcast. "If you don't mind, Mr. Mrs. Smith, I'm going to skip out on the food and just go outside," she said and left the Danger Room.
Daine hung back to make sure all the students made it out and then left, needing to head to the infirmary before anything else.
Kurt squeaked quickly as she pinched him. He sneered at her and grinned. "Where's the harm in a simple kiss?" He asked her quietly.
Crys suppressed a giggle as she walked past Kurt and Delaney
Emma's mental probe stretched into the Danger Room. She checked the occupants for any signes of harm "Faculty report to me in the entrance hall."
"I don't know who I dislike more Scott or her." Delaney whispered
"Scott. Hands down." Kurt told her with a grin. "Well, we better do as they tell us."
"yeah." DElaney said. She, Kurt, Laura and Logan headed to teh entrance hall<ht>
Morgan followed.
Crys walked out into the main entrance hall
