[Inside the danger room]
Kyle was glad to see Jonathan smile even if it was slightly. He was glad to be able to alleviate even a faction of the worry that accumulates when you know your skin contact with others is deadly. Vincentās warnings came and Kyle prepared himself. Hideki cringed at the sound of the explosions that slowly loosened the Danger Roomās doors. āDanger in the Danger Room. Classic!ā Hideki snarked as his eyes remained fixed on the door.
Ryan, after Fuyumi thanked him, smiled his big goofy smile at her, showing all of his sharp, white teeth. "Thanks Professor, we've all gotta help each other out as much as we can. I just do the best I can with what I've got." Fuyumiās gentle smile grew brighter when she saw Ryanās brightly smiling face. He was indeed a charming young man.
After Fuyumi addressed Villa, Vila looked at her saying, "I have a different task for you. I want you to get any one of ours that is hurt out of here. They will become easy targets and be distractions for the others, and we cannot have thatā¦.or something happen to them"
Fuyumi nodded in compliance however she was passively put off at Vilaās sudden rise to authority. To Fuyumiās understanding Vila was simply the school nurse and seemingly young looking. Perhaps she wasnāt as young as she looked. Fuyumi didnāt quite recall the professor asking Vila to tend to things in the danger room. However her assistance would be needed. What was seemingly the safer place to be was quickly becoming a trap.
The danger room doors blew down finally, revealing many soldiers and another man of intense distinction. After Sabertoothās initial request Vincent looked a slight bit worried. Sabertooth smiled sadistically. Jonathan and Ryan shifted to form a barricade for Vincent once they realized who the target was. Philipās eyes widened and his heart raced. It was as if Sabertooth had said they were after his life instead of another. Heād die doing everything in his power to protect Vincent. He, holding Vincentās hand, shifted Vincent behind him.
Vincent was touched to see his students and boyfriend instinctively move in to protect him. However he didnāt want anyone getting hurt on his behalf. He was almost ready to accept Sabertoothās offer and go quietly until Jonathan addressed the intensely dangerous mutant. "What do you want with Vincent?" Ryan, in his feral animal like defensive posture added, "Yeah," Ryan growled, "Vincent isn't a weapon, he's family. You aren't allowed to have him." Vincentās eyes shifted in surprise to Jonathan and Ryan whom bravely confronted Sabertooth.
Sabertooth Snickered and stepped forward a couple of paces. āhahahaā¦ Family. You have no clue that the man you stand in front of in protection is actually the most dangerous person here. Have you ever wondered why the child of the master of magnetism and the greatest telepath on the planet doesnāt showcase more power than he does? Xavier has restraints placed on him. Strooong restraints. He could kill on a global level with a thought and the proper power augmentation. He should also exhibit waaaay more of Magneto than he does right now. And we all know how dangerous Magneto is. Hell, he would even look more like Magneto physically if the professor hadnāt locked away all of the raw KILLING potential your little family member has. You see, it was my boss who created him, Vincent, the weapon of mass destruction. He wants the weapon back. So Iāll ask only ONCE moreā¦ Are you coming quietly or must I rip out someoneās throat in front of you before you see that Iām not to be trifled with?ā
Vincent knew that this so called offer to spare the students was a false promise. Sabertooth might actually walk away and withdraw if Vincent left. However, Vincent in the hands of the Weapon-X program meant that no one was safe anywhere, especially if they knew how to undo the locks on Vincentās true strength. Just then Vila went on the attack using vines to lift some soldiers off of the ground.
Adria Snapping her hand open with fingers stretched out, the water balls attacked the soldiers, putting holes in their guns, tripping them and smacking their skin with a sting, with a few going through the arms and legs. Lifting her Staff over her head, she twirled it, before slamming it down on the ground, much like Vila had done earlier in the simulation. Ice formed in a straight line from where she stood to the nearest wall, before building up to form an Ice wall, separating Vincent, Philip, Jonathan, Memory, Kyle and herself from the soldiers. "Quick! Blow the wall and get him out of here!" She yelled at Philip. "If he stays, we're doomed!" Adria warned.
Philip nodded and began to hurl large time bombs at the opposite wall in an attempt to blow the wall. They exploded with massive impact however the walls of the danger room were so heavily reinforced that Philip alone could not breach them in time before the ice wall could be deconstructed.
Hideki and Fuyumi were left on the other side of the ice wall as they were slightly further away from the others. āHey! what about us!?ā, Hideki shouted. He turned to face the soldiers that rushed in on the two of them. Hideki flipped his 90ās style pink sunglasses over his eyes. [The same type that his favorite Manga character wore. ] Hedeki blasted several soldiers with his plasmatic light energy.
Fuyumi would have phased the two through the wall of ice immediately but the enemy had already engaged them. Fuyumi rushed a soldier, phasing through him, and once behind him she swiftly delivered a strong kick to his head. She then grabbed the vest of another soldier and began to place him into a phased state, making him as light as air and easy enough to lift above her head and throw. The man flew at three other approaching soldiers and struck them [having become solid again] knocking them down.
Sabertooth quickly rushed at Hideki and grabbed him into his arms tightly reverse bear hugging him. Hideki couldnāt react fast enough. He struggled in Sabertooths painfully tight embrace. Sabertooth squeezed hidekiās arms and body almost crushingly as Hideki attempted to use his power. Hideki could only manage to produce tiny flashes of multi-colored light that quickly extinguished before actually doing any harm. āAhhhā¦. Eh, let me go you twat!ā Hideki protested.
Sabertooth snickered sadistically. āOhā¦ so cute you areā¦ Ya know, your powers aināt so hot if you canāt use your hands.ā Sabertooth began to whisper almost sensually in Hidekiās ear. āA little bird told me that you call yourself Loganās unofficial sidekick. Well word from the wise kiddo, people that get close to old Logan get killed prematurely. Seeing how you and Logan are so chummy, Iām going to seriously enjoy crushing you in my armsā¦ Heh heh heh hehā¦.!!ā Sabertooh then further taunted Hideki by sadistically licking his cheek. He then tightened his grip on Hideki causing him to gasp almost breathlessly.
Fuyumi after dealing with several soldiers immediately ran over to the two and dashed through Sabertooth phasing Hideki out of the sadistic manās grasp. āAre you alright?! Oh my god Iām so sorry I couldnāt get to you quicker!!ā She said frantically. Hideki trying to catch his breath and deal with his throbbing arms nodded affirmatively that he was alright for now. āLet make a run for it. Iāll phase us through that wall of ice.ā Fuyumi then took the two bolting through the ice wall in a phased state.
[Outside of the Mansion.]
The fighting had begun. Magneto tried to pull the weapons out of the soldierās hands but they would not move. The weapons were made of a non-metal alloy. āTheyāve gotten smart suddenly.ā He commented in irritation to Charles who stood beside him. He then ripped metal from the gates breaking them down into many metal bullets. He fired them at the soldiers.
Pietro thought this was the time to strike at his father. He quickly ran up to magneto in a flash and punched him across the face hard. He quickly delivered several blows to his father. āSee pops, you reap what you sew. And youāve been planting this ass whopping for quite some time.ā Magneto fell to the ground. He wiped the small amount of blood on his lip off. Pietro stood over Magneto and spoke quietly enough so that other besides magneto couldnāt hear. āSorry father, but I gotta put on a convincing show for them. Theyāre after Vincent, you canāt let them have him.ā
Logan pounced several soldiers slashing at them fatally. They attempted to tackle him unsuccessfully and he took out men left and right fighting viciously. Cara seemed to be holding her own against them as well. She may have once been a villain and an enemy but she was damn awesome as an ally. Stinger watched Logan with a smirk. āHeās hot! Quite the animal. I wonder if the hunk can handle my electrifying womanly wilesā¦ā She said as she sauntered toward the area that Logan did battle in. She blasted him with a serious jolt of electricity and he yelled in pain. āOhhh so thatās how a man with an adamantium coated skeleton reacts to being shockedā¦ much worse than a normal person. Metal is a beautiful conductor for electricity!ā Stinger giggled. She was wise enough not to get any closer to Wolverine having heard many a story about how dangerous he was.
Logan recovered and stood to his feet glaring at stinger, his skin red and slowly returning to its far less flushed state. āYouāve got some nerve lady.ā He grunted. He saw Cara in need of assistance and rushed to her disregarding Stinger. Cara rejoined Logan closer to the mansion,
Shots were fired. "Aghh! I'm hit!" She yelled out, grabbing her bleeding shoulder and dropping to one knee behind a wall, sending the pots that adorned it flying towards the nearby soldiers.
Logan tried to safeguard Cara. āHang in there Cara!ā He encouraged as he helped her up. The professor rushed over and helped Cara to make it to a more neutral area.
David North left his position at the rear guard and approached Cyclops who was blasting back soldier after soldier. After sneaking up on Scottās side he delivered a roundhouse kick to Scottās head. Scott was caught completely off guard and staggered backward. He hated to be bested. āScott Summersā¦ A pleasure to finally meet you. Although, looking at you, you make me feel old.ā David said smoothly as he watch Scott regain himself. David was much older than he looked. His aging processes were drastically slowed after the weapon-X program artificially gave him a mutant healing factor similar to Logan and Victor Creedās. So he looked to be Scottās age but he was more like Magnetoās age.
Scott cringed, āFeel THIS!ā He yelled as he shot an optic blast at David. Knocking him backward. David got up with a smile and his arms glowed with a dull red. He had absorbed Scottās optic blast and was prepared to fire it back at him. David simply fired the energy back at Scott launching him backwards a distance.
āI wish I could actually feel that like you did, Commando.ā David said sarcastically and ran towards the mansion doors and entering. He wanted to find the Danger room and help Sabertooth. He knew Victor sometimes needed help keeping on task rather than succumbing to a predatory bloodlust.
Logan spotted David and knew that if David North was present, Victor Creed wouldnāt be far away given that this was a Weapon-X operation. Logan said to himself, āThe studentsā¦ Shit!ā He ran after David in an attempt to reach the Danger Room.
