Cara Black (Shadowdancer)'s Story

Vila

She shock her head. "If it is ok I will sit this one out, two i am not dressed to go in there at the moment" Vila had a point with that, a sun dress was not a good thing to wear in the danger room. "along with that I dont know if i still have my uniform and gear." Vila was not even sure she still had the uniform how ever she still had the gear. The wonderful two in one light weight but strong metal staff that also could become a water staff that Erik gave her.

Vila blinked when they handed her a box with an updated uniform. She left the room for a little bit and came back with it on. The special weapons she used with each of the fighting styles she knew. She felt strange to be back in uniform long and elgent made to with stand her ability and assets. Her finger tips traced the mask that she new to well

Vila took set to watch the others, she hated fighting but knew she had to get over that even more with the storm that would be coming. Vila's normal smile was gone and she looked focused no longer having that ditsy happy feel to her. Even with it being training Vila gave it her full attention.

Vila knew these metal monsters well and shivered a little. They where no cake walk to take one and they way where almost unstoppable could give one nightmares. As long as the worked as a team and did not brake away from that she new they would be fine, but still it made Vila uneasy.

Aaiyah Ippolita

She shrugged slowly standing up she made her way down. She could handle most things but it if was technology it would be in her ball park and she was hoping for something that would play in her hands. When P.C brought up the sentinel she new this was going to be fun. She smirked some popping her neck, she was ready for this.

Once things started she moved to get her self to higher ground and some where that would be a little bit more safe. She twisted one of the lenses of her goggles scanning one of the sentinel. She got the info she need and shut her eyes clearing her mind. Slowly she started to take control of the sentinel. It was rocky at first but she new she would not be able to hold for to long =, she new it would re-wright its program still a little bit of time was better than nothing.

With in a two minutes Aaiyah had control over it. She smirked when the sentinel did her biding and moved from her spot she went after one of the other sentinels with the one she had control over. Take two down with one stone. Simple yet it worked, how ever it took a lot more than what was normal for her to do. They locked in battle doing damage to one another how ever Aaiyah was giving her self a bloody nose from this. She new she was hitting her braking point.

Every time she did something this big it effected her body and not always for the best. Still it was worth it that feeling of having control over a sentinel, bending it to her will. Her plan did not go 100% her way, she took out one and did a lot of damage to the other. Still that was better than nothing. It made the other one much easier to take down.

Cara Black

Shadowdancer smiled darkly as the sentinels approached, she might not have had A.I.'s advantage over the machine's computer system but sentinels were big and as such they cast an even bigger shadow, it couldn't have been more suited for Shadowdancer. She outstretched her hands her shadow falling across the shadows behind her joining her the link of shadow spanning almost the entire city, she tugged at the sentinel via it's shadow before eventually the great machines head pulled away from the rest of it's body.

She asserted all of her energy into the now floating head, sending it flying across at another of the great machines, not destroying the second but smashing the first's head into it's would at least block it's vision giving her enough chance to phase into the shadow beside her, when the second sentinel had cleared the crumpled machine from it's now buckled and cracked head it searched for where she had gone. Whilst she was actually still stood in front of it, searching through the shadows cast on the floor for the one she wanted, when she eventually found it she brought herself back to a physical state and smiled. From within one of the cracks in the sentinel's face, a cable that was obviously of some importance pulled from it's face, sparking as it tore out and down to the floor the Sentinel it came from soon following it.

As she turned around she saw a sentinel's cable hurtling towards her, grabbing hold of her foot and lifting her upside down, she reached out with her power once more and released herself, extending the sentinel's probe and dropping herself to the floor, phasing into a shadow to break her fall, as she rolled back into the light she twisted reached out to a nearby scaffold pole from a building, sending it hurtling towards the sentinel and smashing a hole through it's chest, bringing the scaffolding around the building crashing down onto the ground., the great dust sheets fluttering in the wind as the tubed structure fell noisily to the ground.

She felt the glare from Cyclops on the back of her head again for her actions but she didn't have chance to make a response before she saw the flash of a sentinel's weapon hurtling towards her, she flipped herself out of the way, just barely missing the laser.

Philip noticed Adria run into the control room in a hurry. She was late and apologetic to the professor. Philip gave her a somewhat goofy smile as he silently observed her entrance. She reminded him of himself when he was younger and often late for school back in Germany. Life was simple then, just him and his sweet little mother. Life wasn’t bad now but it seemed faster paced than before. Philip waved at Adria and mouthed out the word “Hey.”

Charles turned and smiled at Adria. “Better late than never Miss Wateria.” Charles said to the young student.

Magneto also smiled. He was afraid that she wasn’t going to show up. “I’m glad you didn’t miss your half of the session. You’ll get to work with me.” Magneto grinned. He knew that he had a certain reputation amongst the students at the school. Many knew they could trust his without doubt but that didn’t stop them from being nervous around him. He was like a strict father figure to most at the school where as Charles seemed more gentle typically. Magneto somewhat embraced this reputation.

Kyle, while listening in, felt this was the perfect opportunity to mess and flirt with Magneto. He found Magneto to be pretty attractive for an older guy. “So… will I get to work really close with the master of magnetism too?” He said as he walked his fingers up Magneto’s chest flirtatiously.

Magneto, using his power, pulled a metal chair over to knock into Kyle’s back softly. “Most certainly. I will keep a VERY close watch on you, always…” Magneto responded in a purposely sinister tone complete with a dark snicker. Kyle chuckled as well but nervously.

Philip, being the prankster that he is, created a tiny “time bomb” that was no larger than one’s pinky finger and flicked it into Kyle’s hands. It was pretty harmless and would only sting not truly hurt Kyle. Kyle caught it not realizing what it was and upon revelation he quickly fumbled it, sending flying toward the control board. The explosive popped like a noise maker on the fourth of July and created enough impact to activate a level ten difficulty change.

Danger Room

Scott wasn’t too please at the damaged Cara’s battles caused. “I should have thought to tell them to try to minimize property damage…” He thought to himself before blasting at the sentinel that targeted Cara.

Fuyumi noticed the heavily damaged sentinel that Aaliyah combated and ran toward it. She touched the foot of the robot and then began to phase downward into the ground causing the robot to sink downward as well. The sentinel was waist deep into the ground and stuck. Fuyumi phased back to the grounds surface and then dove through the sentinel’s head causing the system to malfunction and shut down. This made her pretty tired. Phasing something so large usually placed considerable strain on her. She then flopped to the ground panting. Levitated over to Fuyumi to watch her back while she recomposed herself.

It seemed like the session was coming to a close as the sentinels were almost taken down. Just then the voice of the Danger Room operating system sounded. “Warning difficulty level increased. Warning difficulty level increased. Level raised from level 4 to level 10. Please be advised. “

Vincent gave a look of confusion. “Cyclops, I know you like a challenge but Don’t you think level ten is just trying to get us killed!?” Vincent questioned sarcastically.

“I didn’t order a level increase!” Scott replied. Just then about 30 sentinels dropped in on the scene all ready to attack. Three sentinels shot at Aaliyah, Vincent, and Fuyumi. Fuyumi quickly grabbed hold of Vincent and Aaliyah and bean to phase the three of them so that the blasts would not harm them.

Several sentinels shot beams at Logan causing him to duck and dodge frantically. He eventually took two shots to the chest and was launched into a brick wall. More sentinels approached Cyclops and he blasted their heads off but there were simply too many to handle. Another two sentinels shot beans at Cara. Scott reacted fast, “SHADOWDANCER!! Watch out!!” Scott yelled as he leaped out and tackled her out of harm’s way. The two lay together on the ground as several sentinels closed in on them ready to attack. Scott laid his body over Cara’s in preparation to take the hit and protect her. However the system shut down and the sentinels simply faded away out of existence. The holograph ended and the danger room returned to normal.

Professor X’s voice could be heard over the intercom. “My apologies team, we ran into technical difficulties in the control room. Are you all alright?”

“Do we LOOK alright Professor?” Logan huffed as he slowly sat up, his healing factor patching up that last of his injuries. His body was healed but his uniform was blasted open at the chest.

Philip was scolded by Magneto and Xavier for horsing around in the control room. He scratched his head and smiled nervously. “Once again, I apologize everyone. I didn’t mean to cause such trouble.” His German accent decorating his words.

Scott looked at Cara nervously. He reacted out of a protective instinct earlier and now where was he, laying over the body of the woman that annoyed him thoroughly. “I… Uh… You alright?” Scott said nervously as he slowly sat up and stood to his feet.

Cara Black

Raising an eyebrow at the training rooms warning, Shadowdancer clicked her neck putting her fists up in taunting fashion. "Bring it on you bastards!" she shouted out clearly enjoying herself despite the danger. It was only when Cyclops reacted that she realised that it wasn't planned. "Still, let them come!" She shouted in defiance despite the malfunction. Though when the extra thirty sentinels dropped in she did have to take a step back, even she had to admit they were a little over their heads, this was quickly turning into a full scale attack as opposed to a demonstration.

Her attention was elsewhere when the attack came. She had been focusing her powers on the sentinel before her, manipulating it into facing it's weapon to the sentinel beside it. Although manipulation came simple to her and it reduced weight of the thing in question; it did take a great deal of effort to force a much bigger object into doing something it didn't want to. She was ready to attack when she was pushed from harms way, half expecting it to be in retribution for Scott and her's previous run-ins but when the beams destroyed the ground beside her she realised he'd actually just saved her life.

The world seemed to move in slow motion for a second as her hearing returned to normal. The high pitched whirring noise that the loud beams had created in her ears temporarily dazed her before the large horrible shapes of the sentinels loomed over them. She reacted in her last resort, her eyes turned black, with no colour or white left at all as she called the shadow from within her to completely shroud them in a darkness that no light could penetrate, it was a heavy ability to use and taxed her dearly but it did give her chance to roll them both over several feet away, moving them from harms way for at least the moment.

She shut her eyes for a moment expecting the loud blast from the sentinels to come at any given moment and yet nothing came, when she opened her eyes again the darkness was gone and she saw the visored face of Cyclops mere inches from her own. "Well now, Cyclops. I didn't realise we bonded that much last night," She winked playfully as though the accident had never happened. "But yes, I'm fine. Are you ok?" she asked as he stood pulling herself up onto her elbows without actually getting up onto her feet. "Though I must admit I'm beginning to feel like we're all a little more out of practice then we first believed."

Aaiyah Ippolita & Vila


When things started to bug out she new it could only be one thing some one was goofing off up in the control room. She was frustrated that no one read the Emails. She sent them the over ride code to shut things down. When Fuyumi saved her hide from being splattered over the ground she new she had to end this. "VOICE OVER RIDE 10031 ALPHA OMEGA 42 AI!" Everything went still at this point froze before shutting down. Why did no one check there emails any more. She sent them over ride codes that where vocal so if something liked this happened.

When they where out of the danger Aaiyah made her way up to the control room. She looked like she was out for blood. Who was The Horse Ass that was showing off in here?" She looked pissed. "Who ever it was you have one chance to step up or all of you will get the blunt end of the punishment." Was hissed to all of the students. She had every right to be angry things could have been so much worse. "What would of happened if you where out in a real battle and decide to do something like that..You would not only put your self endanger but your team, on top of that you would give away location in more than one way." With the look of what hit the controls she had an idea of two people that could have done it.

Vila stood up looking at Aaiyah "take a breath and calm down. Yes things could have been worse but it happens, they are eager to get down there and take part. They want to prove themselves to Logan and Scott to show they are ready to be Xmen" Aaiyah blinked she was still pissed about what happened.

"Xavier, Erik I will go in with the students" Vila moved to head in to the danger room. She knew there was no file on her and she had a lot to prove her self and she was going to. Vila never made sound when she walked, she was always light on her feet even more so in battle. This made her dangers, but not only that her age along with her gifts. Vila would wait for the students to come down ready for the task. She did no worry about who was going to be the leader as long as it was not her. She pulled the mask on that she wore every time she went in to battle

Cara shut her eyes for a moment expecting the loud blast from the sentinels to come at any given moment and yet nothing came, when she opened her eyes again the darkness was gone and she saw the visored face of Cyclops mere inches from her own. "Well now, Cyclops. I didn't realize we bonded that much last night," She winked playfully as though the accident had never happened. "But yes, I'm fine. Are you ok?" she asked as he stood pulling herself up onto her elbows without actually getting up onto her feet.

Scott couldn’t help but blush a little. After he regained his poise responded, “We didn’t. However, Somehow I’m alright. What the heck happened up there?” Scott voiced softly.

"Though I must admit I'm beginning to feel like we're all a little more out of practice then we first believed."

Scott nodded. “For once I agree with you. You know despite your reckless endangerment, it was not so bad working with you. Things went much smoother than they would have been had you not been around to help. I just thought I’d tell you that.” Scott said rather hesitantly. It was difficult for him to give kudos to someone that usually bothered him so much. Perhaps he was beginning to view Cara in a slightly better light. But she still had a long was to go before Scott could feel comfortable with himself while being comfortable with Cara.

The instructors proceeded out of the danger room and back up to the control room. Aaliyah went off. “Who was The Horse Ass that was showing off in here?" She looked pissed. "Whoever it was you have one chance to step up or all of you will get the blunt end of the punishment., " Was hissed to all of the students. "What would have happened if you were out in a real battle and decide to do something like that. You would not only put yourself endanger but your team, on top of that you would give away location in more than one way." With the look of what hit the controls she had an idea of two people that could have done it.

Kyle Joked, “I suppose flirting with Philip’s In-Law was a not so good idea.” He said with a wink directed at Adria who he thought was pretty cool looking. If he ran into her at a night club he’d buy her a drink because she looked hot and he liked suave people. Kyle was totally into guys but knew how to appreciate a beautiful girl when he saw one. There were quite a lot of them at the X-mansion.

Magneto smirked at Kyle’s comment. He really liked Kyle’s spunk, however he could outright endorse it lest he damage his image as the strict headmaster.

Philip felt bad. He initially knew better than to do such a thing but sometimes an opportunity for fun seemed to get the better of him and he just couldn’t pass it up. He was older than most of the other students and should be setting an example of maturity not pulling pranks. “It was me. I thought I’d play a supposedly harmless joke on Kyle and it spiraled out of control. I realize I put you all in serious danger with my silliness. Please I’ll accept any punishment you give.” Philip apologized with his head hung low in a humble manner.

Vincent stood beside Philip and placed a hand reassuringly on Philip’s cheek. He used his telepathy to communicate with him. “It’s alright love. Don’t you look so down, it’ll really hurt me far worse than any sentinel could.” Vincent smiled as his telepathy did the speaking for him.

Professor X was about to intervene. However, Vila took the floor, a rare sight. Vila stood up looking at Aaiyah "take a breath and calm down. Yes things could have been worse but it happens, they are eager to get down there and take part. They want to prove themselves to Logan and Scott to show they are ready to be Xmen" Aaiyah blinked she was still pissed about what happened.

“Well said Vila.” Charles Chimed in.

“We are not perfect my boy. You need not worry any longer.” Magneto said to Philip in German as he patted Philip on the back.

"Xavier, Erik I will go in with the students" Vila moved to head in to the danger room. Charles was very pleased with Vila for Volunteering.

“That would be excellent Vila. You shall provide the team support as the sub leader under Magneto.” Charles replied.

“It’ll be an honor to work you my dear.” Magneto said as he smiled at Vila. “Alright students let us proceed with the session. Follow me downstairs.” Magneto addressed the group.

Hideki perked up. He was excited for his shot at some action. He turned to Memory and Jonathan and smiled, “Hey wonder twins, you mates feeling as good about this as I am?” He said in his half-British accent.

The professor turned to the group of instructors. “You all did a fine job.” I’m very proud of how you worked together and protected each other. Putting aside differences to work toward a common cause is indeed the key lesson for you all today.” Charles praised the group.

Fuyumi smiled at the professor, “And here I thought we were the once teaching a lesson out there.” Charles smiled gently at her.

“Well remind me to stand next to Fuyumi the next time we encounter over 30 sentinels… That effing hurt.” Logan added sarcastically.

Down stairs the students and Magneto prepared themselves. “Set the danger room to level 3. Danger Bot protocol. Remember I am your field commander for this exercise however, that does not mean I will always bail you out of trouble. Trust your teammates and be aware of your surroundings. You are not only to focus on yourself but your teammates as well. I personally will be holding back so that you will gain the full extent of your training session. Understood?” Magneto spoke authoritatively. This scenario would be no contest for him but It could pose a challenge for the students. He initially wanted to place it on a higher level than 3, believing that they students could handle a higher level. He had much faith in them all. However Charles wanted to play it safe.

The danger room changed in scenery. The and they were suddenly in a power plant. There were warning alarms going off. They seemed to be in a manufacturing plant of sorts. This was a production factory for sentinels. “Intruder alert!!” Rang out in the factory. Sentinels were being manufactured piece by piece. There were conveyer belts that carted arms, legs, blasters, heads and other parts. There were machines that worked on assembling parts and a programing station.

“Our objective is to dismantle the machinery while protecting ourselves from the defense robots. We must move swiftly for we will only be granted 15 minutes before they plant can activate the sentinels and we must escape or fight for life at that point. Vila is our sub-commander and field medic. Rely on her if you need med attention. Be alert and wise. The enemy will be relentless yet you must remain composed. A fool lashed out blindly. BEGIN!” Magneto instructed as he floated above the students. He enjoyed commanding a team in battle again.

Many silver robots of 6 foot height and multiple battle functions attacked the group. Those to my right shall focus on objective one, destroying the production machinery. This half to my left shall focus on objective two, defense and survival. Go!” Magneto commanded.

Cara Black

Cara smiled, "Old habits die hard, Scott." She pulled herself to her feet and brushed herself down. "I have no idea what happened. Perhaps someone has been tampering with the controls?" She offered.

“For once I agree with you. You know despite your reckless endangerment, it was not so bad working with you. Things went much smoother than they would have been had you not been around to help. I just thought I’d tell you that.”

"Was that a thank you? Now that really is unexpected, Scott." she said raising an eyebrow slightly with her flirtatious smile, "But I have to agree. Thank you for intervening." she was obviously having a lot less of a hard time dealing with working in a team with what had once been an enemy of hers. "Perhaps we should join the others." she said, breaking the silence. "See what exactly it is that nearly got us all killed." she rejoined the others and started walking to the control room.

Aayiah was already going mad when Cara arrived in the room but she decided to stay quiet, the girl definately had more the a temper on her. "So brash of one so young." she whispered over towards Scott, she knew he probably didn't care for her thoughts but as time had progressed Cara had definately noticed a recurring pattern in Aayiah's temper. Though she had to admit; who needed TV when you had her tantrums.

She watched quietly as the rest of the scene unfolded, deciding that keeping out of things was probably her best bet this time around but she did grimace inwardly when Vincent touched Philip's cheek. She was not homophobic of course, being bisexual herself but she had never been a fan of soppy lovey crap.

Cara drew a cigarette as the students walked down towards the Danger Room's open expanse, leaning on the windowsill she sparked it up offering one to Logan whom was the only one she knew definately smoked, albeit cigars. She watched intently as the session began, watching for anything that caught her eye in any of the students and particularly watching Magneto, she had heard many things about him whilst with the Russian equivalent of the Brotherhood, often of the great deeds he had brought up for mutant-kind everywhere. Such a shame he'd switched sides though not that she could talk much on that part really.

Boob-boom and Flare (Philip and Hideki) had just about finished with all of the machines in their zones. Philip turned to Hideki “We’d better help the others.” Hideki did a quick scan of the room and saw Adria in need of help as well as Jonathan and Memory. “I’ll help the siblings you take care of the lovely lady over there. Cool?” Hideki said in his odd British accent that had hints of Japanese English.

“Rodger that Flare!” Philp replied with his never fading grin. He rushed over toward Adria. He created a palm sized time bomb and rolled it on the ground toward the robot facing Adria. It popped, via mental command by Philip, once it reached the feet of the robot causing the legs to take heavy damage. The robot fell to his knees. Philip tapped Adria on the shoulder. “Hey there. I figured you could use a helping hand friend.” Philip said with a smile. He refocused his attention to the robots approaching. “I think we’ve got at least one machine left. If you’d like, I could hurl a time bomb about that far. If my baseball aim is any good I should be able to hit it. I may be German but I love American ball games!” Philip said with a chuckle, everything was like a game to him. He simply was able to find that element of fun in every job he had to do.

Hideki blasted the backs of a few of the robots encircling Jonathan and Memory with his firework like power . They fell forward with their backsides blown open and sparking fiercely. “Hey there Mates!! Mind if I jump in on the wonder twins party?” Hideki asked in a chipper manner. “Although… you two seem to have things handled.” He added.

Magneto and Kyle joined the battle once more. Magneto before leaving Kyle turned to him and winked, “Now dear boy, try to stay out of trouble… although it seems to magnetize to you.” He then flew toward Vila to see if she needed assistance.

Kyle smiled as he felt very satisfied having stolen a kiss from the handsome master of magnetism. He then flew in the middle of the encirclement of Jonathan, Memory, and Hideki, standing right next to Jonathan. “Sorry guys and lovely lady, I got a little held down a moment ago. Miss me?” The ‘miss me’ part was more so directed toward Jonathan. Kyle was on a serious role today. The X-mansion had so many cute guys to pick with and they were all generally pretty nice so it made flirting with them all the more fun.

In the control room Fuyumi stood watching the scene below with her thin arms crossed. “I really wish we could help them. It’s difficult watching someone else fight so hard and you’re just standing there.”

Logan placed his arm around Fuyumi and rested his hand on her shoulder in a comforting manner. “They’ll be just fine Abe-san. I was a little concerned first but one that team of goofballs got in action they weren’t so goofy anymore. They need us to rest easy and trust them.” Logan and Fuyumi were somewhat close. She reminded him of his time in Japan and his previous love interest with Yuriko. She was once kind and gentle much like Fuyumi. Likewise Fuyumi didn’t mind Logan being physically close with her. He wasn’t close with many others in that way.

Scott looked on and was somewhat hit with a feeling of loneliness. He missed Jean but she would set out to reunite with him in about a month so he had to endure and wait. Jean meant the world to Scott and without her he had to fight really hard to keep it together. The professor had been working with Scott on that issue and Scott had made quite a bit of progress.

Ryan walked quickly, he had gotten lost on his way to the Danger Room. "Typical," he muttered to himself. Not only had he woken up late, he'd gotten lost on the way. Then there was that guy who was moving in a couch and needed some help getting it through a door. Wandering around, with no real destination, Ryan felt almost hopeless. He was so excited to have had a chance in the danger room, and now he was going to miss it. He plopped himself down on the ground and thought really hard. His room was about two hallways back on the right side, in the front left corner of the mansion. The Danger room was on almost the opposite side of the house down into the basement. It stood to reason then, that if he made his way to the basement, Ryan could find the way much easier than by plodding around inside the house. Ryan dove headlong out the nearest open window, crashing into the great leafy canopy and clambering down with cat-like grace and fluidity. Now that he was outside the house, he could jump in from any other open window on the opposite side, and find his way to the basement much easier. Plus, that way, when he ran full speed, he wouldn't smash into anyone and send them flying. Cause that wouldn't be very nice. Sure he could jump around them, or weave himself through the crowd, or even crawl on the ceiling, but that would take far too much time, and it was easier to do it this way.

He felt so bad, there was going to be a session for the first time in a long time and he was going to miss it. Quickening his pace, Ryan flew around the outside of the house and, after spotting an open window, jumped through, spiraling his body so he wouldn't hit the actual glass and wooden frame. He flung an arm out, catching the floor, and skidding a few feet before regaining his balance and standing upright, only to realize he was in a classroom. During class. "Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to interrupt. I'm just very late for a session and I needed to get there quick." The teacher just rolled her eyes at him, then pointed to the door. "Right, sorry, I'll just get out of your hair..." Ryan bolted from the room, slowing down from his outdoor pace so as not to miss someone and smash into them. Finding the familiar stairs to the basement, Ryan knew he was almost there. He remembered watching the older kids fight it out when he was younger, and now it was finally his turn. This was going to be so much fun! Speeding up again, Ryan flung himself down the last hallway and into the control booth. The session was in full swing by now. Bursting into the Control Room, Ryan almost shouted, "Sorry I'm late! Can I still jump in, or did I miss it?"

(OOC: I've only tagged the people directly in the Control Booth, whom I'm sure I've just scared the crap out of, and I feel really bad that I'm so late, but if you'd like I could tag the rest of the party too.)

~Vila & Aaiyah Ippolita~

Vila moved with out making a sound she keep close to the students to make sure they where safe. Now and than she would step in to help them out but left them handle the fighting. She would almost seem useless in a fight with how she was going about things. For her the less fighting she did the better. It gave them less to know about her and what she could really do. For her she feared to no end the idea of losing control scared her to no end. Scott, Logan, Vincent, Erik and Xavier knew this to be one of her fears.

Vilas mask was rather strange with the white porcelain under neath and the wire elegant mask on top. It came across as slight less but was far from it. For Vila this helped her keep control and in many ways feel safe when it came to using her skills. Vila moved to look at something... even with this being a level three round she knew there was something more to it. What something seemed it was not, and what it was not it was. She moved studying something closely her finger tips running over the ground...."mmmmm" she tapped the ground as if looking for something.

The students where to cocky and to quick to think they got everything. Once fully standing she looked over to try and spot someone to bust a whole in to the ground. She sighed not spotting anyone that was to close. She slowly took a deep breath clearing her mind She drew a circle scarring the floor before she slammed her staff hard on the ground causing the ground to shake. Focusing her energy in to the located area where the staff was sticking. With one swift movement she got the area she was standing in to cave in letting the cement slab she was standing on fall to a hidden area.

They took out only part of the factory not the other part. she moved looking around at was down there. The main part of the robots where taken down but not to put it simple the brain. The brain was more vital than anything else. With out it the robots where pointless. She walked over to the computer area knowing the base of how computers worked pulled a thumb drive out that would get need information that would be use full. This would only take a short amount of time. Once that was done she started to take out the machines. Causing plants to take over and chock the machines.

Vila moved back to the whole where a few vines had grown up wards giving her away back out of the whole. Once out she went to find the others. She let the vines go letting the grow out of the whole and taking over what they wished. She new they would take over the building in time reclaiming it as theirs.

~Aaiyah~

Aaiyah smirked once she looked over everything. It seemed fine and that was a good thing however she was going to have to post rules in the danger room so this would not happen again and the out come of what would happen. She closed the computer up pleased it did not need to be fixed.

Looking out at was going on she was not overly impressed with Vila she seemed useless as a fighter. "That ginger better be a better healer than fighter, the red head seems rather useless to bring out on a mission." Aaiyah being the big mouth she was and not one to care if she pissed people off spoke her mind on this. However she keep it clean witch was something she did not do that often. The others seemed more useful in a fight and less of something to worry about.

Aaiyah watched her and just shock her head at this however ended up eating her words when Vila took action. Her jaw almost dropped when Vila found the hidden room. This surprised her even more so with how Vila go down to the room and took everything out....not only that but took the time to get information.

Cara had been watching the training unfold from where she had been leaning against the window in the control booth, taking note of all of the student's combat abilities though she was disappointed to hear that Magneto wasn't going to be joining in himself. She heard Scott's sigh and when she turned to look at him he was obviously not feeling great, not her place to ask though, he'd probably be a little annoyed at her.

She had relaxed against the window ledge again when Ryan burst in. "Well it's still going on at least." She answered the black mutant. "But you are late, I can't personally think of a way you could join in now. Unless Fuyumi can get you in?" She offered, looking towards the English teacher, stubbing her cigarette in the ash tray she had brought in with her as she did so.

She turned back to the window when she heard the concrete cracking, seeing Vila descend down below the floor the simulation was set on. "Show off." she laughed.

Jonathan seemed to be slightly flustered by Kyle’s flirting. Kyle was utterly overjoyed on the inside to receive the smile from the handsome mutant. "Always..." Jonathan replied to Kyle’s earlier question of whether or not Jonathan missed him.

The group battled more robots. Kyle flew about dodging lasers and punching out robots. They seemed to go down pretty easily once struck by his well-placed punches. He was lucky to have super strength. He would occasionally glance over at Jonathan and Memory to see how they were doing. Kyle remembered hearing someone mention something about Jonathan’s power. Jonathan was said not to be able to touch others physically else he’d hurt them somehow. Kyle wanted to ask him about that because he himself once struggled with the same problem for quite some time and was miserable.

Hideki blasted away at the approaching robots with his colorful powers. The robots took considerable damage but it usually took more than one blast from Hideki to finish one off. They closed In on him and a couple of razored robotic arms slashed at him causing him to dodge. He got a slight cut on the arm that hurt considerably. He backed up and jump kicked one of the robots sending it backward. Charging his hand with plasmatic light energy he knocked out a couple of robots to his left although striking them this way somewhat hurt his hands. “Jeeze these things are annoying…”

Philip was glad to be able to help Adria out. He didn’t like to see her left alone and fighting by herself. Pressing her back up against his, her attention was focused to the robots approaching from behind while Philip covered the front. "Baseball you say? Hmm.." Outstretching her arms, the water followed suit. Concentration, the water turned to ice, and Adria had made a make shift bat. "I'm sure your pitching skills are great, but just to be on the safe side, take this." Adria did a half turn, handing him the ice bat. "Make it go boom.. Boom-Boom.."

Philip laughed aloud at Adria’s pun. He genuinely thought it was cute. Philip was relatively easy to please seeing that he was used to having little. He learned to make gold out of tin metal, figuratively speaking. “And Boom I shall make, my friend!” Philip said with a large smile. He began to bat the baseball sized time bombs at the remaining machinery. They popped and exploded with loud sounds doing much damage.

Philip, Kyle, and Hideki were surprised at the sudden actions of Villa. She was doing great damage to the ground, which revealed more machines do destroy. They didn’t before realize her power. She was much more than she appeared to be.

Magneto smiled at the sight of Vila tapping into her true potential. “Finally she stops being shy.” He grinned. He took notice of Jonathan and Memory’s struggle with some of the robots and he quickly flew to their aid. He Magnetized the robot dragging Memory to his hand. It struggled and Memory dangled form the chord that bound her ankle. Magneto the made a fist and the robot was crushed into a metal ball. Magneto then caught Memory in his arms before she could hit the ground. While still holding Memory in his arms, Magneto began his assault on the robot that raised its blade in preparation to attack Jonathan. He levitated metal objects from the ground and shot them at bullet speed at the robot tearing through the being and smashing off its’ arms and head. Magneto then landed. “You’ve fought excellently. Are you alright my child?” He asked M. He lowered her to her feet and reached to give Jonathan a helping hand off the ground.

In the control room, the student Ryan dashed into the room startling most there, except probably Logan. He was late for training but the professor still smiled glad that he could make it. "Sorry I'm late! Can I still jump in, or did I miss it?"

"Well it's still going on at least." Cara answered the black mutant. "But you are late, I can't personally think of a way you could join in now. Unless Fuyumi can get you in?" She offered, looking towards the English teacher, stubbing her cigarette in the ash tray she had brought in with her as she did so.

Scott said nothing but he smiled at Ryan as well. He reminded him of himself when he had first joined the academy. Ryan also reminded Scott of Hank McCoy, the mutant known as Beast. Hank looked a bit frightening at first but had a heart of gold and was as gentle as gentle gets. Ryan seemed to be very much the same way.

Charles greeted Ryan, “Good morning Ryan. Well we could allow you to join in on the last of the session. Miss Fuyumi do you mind phasing him in to the Danger Room?”

Fuyumi turned toward Ryan and extended her hand. “Sure. Are you ready?” Just then a large rumble was heard from outside of the mansion. The alarms suddenly went off there was a breach in security. “What’s happening?” Fuyumi said as she turned to the professor.

The professor quickly did a mental probe. “It seems we are under attack! We must end the session!” the professor asked Aaliyah to cut the Danger Room simulation off. He then did communicated with everyone telepathically.

“Listen well all of you. This is an emergency situation. The school is under attack by a source unknown as of yet. The aggressors are currently outside in the mansion and have breached the front gates. I want the instructors specifically, Scott, Cara, Logan, Aaliyah, Vila, and Ace to accompany Magneto and I to protect the school from the outside threat. I want Vincent and Fuyumi to remain inside the mansion and Barricade then yourselves and the students inside the Danger Room for protection. It is the safest place to hide. Be ready for anything.” Charles’ thought ran clear through the minds of all present in the mansion.

Vincent quickly asked, “Father why won’t you allow me to help you out there? I can handle myself.”

Charles cut Vincent off before he could finish. “I know you can handle yourself and protect others just fine. However I need you on the inside for that very reason, to protect the students. You and Fuyumi can do this important task. Please Vincent, try to understand.” Charles explained. He also didn’t want to say that he was afraid that the aggressor could be the Weapon-x group, attempting to reclaim his son. He wanted Vincent protected as much as possible.

“Alright father, I understand. But do look after Father Erik please. He can get a little reckless as you know.” Vincent added with a smile.

“I know Erik well. You please look after Philip. He’s much like your father Erik.” Charles replied with a smile.

“I know. Well, off with you now. We don’t want them getting any closer now do we?” Vincent replied in an upbeat manner.

Charles nodded, “Indeed.” He turned to the group . “X-men let’s move out.”

~Vila & Aaiyah Ippolita~


~Vila~

Vila moved the vines fallowing her as she moved taking care of anything else around her. Vila had to keep control...she had to keep her mind clear. She was cleaning up anything else that need to be done. The vines had away of moveing like living snakes. Vila had away when she attacked or decide to fight. She in small ways tended to let her self lose just a bit of control tapping in to that primal power that made her unstoppable.

Vila never fully showed what she could do she always held back but when Xavier sent the alert that they where under attack Vila did not take that overly well. Being what she was and as powerful as she was attacking her home, her family, her friends would not sit well with her. Far from it something changed with in a few moments with in her. She no longer felt like some one that was 16 far from it she felt like someone or something that was very old and very dangures.

~Aaiyah~

Went stiff when Xaiver said they where under attack and shut everything down. She typed a code in to the computer makeing it ready to go in to lock down mode. It would be come a hard core panic room that no one would want to come in to. All alert systems where set on to red alert. "Stay away from the doors and behind the line for your own good" Aaiyahs tone was hard to read but there was something to it made it clear it was for there own good and there safety.

Aaiyah moved to get ready to move out with the rest of team. For some reason something did not feel right. She broke off from the team to go get something that she was working on....she did not give it a test run yet so why not know it was as good if time as any to give it that trail run and see how it did in battle her big bad new toy that she had been working on.



with the fun little add on that she built the swarm tiny little misquote like bugs that did a lot of damage



~Vila~
"Xavier I would like to stay with the young-lings" Vila wanted to stay they would need all the help they could get and with her skills and power she would be helpful. No matter what she would let him make the call of where he wanted her.

Charles greeted Ryan, “Good morning Ryan. Well we could allow you to join in on the last of the session. Miss Fuyumi do you mind phasing him in to the Danger Room?”

Ryan was estactic! "Oh boy! Thank you Professor Xavier! This is gonna be great!" Fuyumi turned toward Ryan and extended her hand. “Sure. Are you ready?” Ryan reached out to take her hand, then he pulled back. Something was out there. There were car noises, footsteps, and the smell of a large number of men. "Professor?... Something's weird..." Just then a large rumble was heard from outside of the mansion. The alarms suddenly went off there was a breach in security. “What’s happening?” Fuyumi said as she turned to the professor.

The professor quickly did a mental probe. “It seems we are under attack! We must end the session!” the professor asked Aaliyah to cut the Danger Room simulation off. He then did communicated with everyone telepathically.

“Listen well all of you. This is an emergency situation. The school is under attack by a source unknown as of yet. The aggressors are currently outside in the mansion and have breached the front gates. I want the instructors specifically, Scott, Cara, Logan, Aaliyah, Vila, and Ace to accompany Magneto and I to protect the school from the outside threat. I want Vincent and Fuyumi to remain inside the mansion and Barricade then yourselves and the students inside the Danger Room for protection. It is the safest place to hide. Be ready for anything.” Charles’ thought ran clear through the minds of all present in the mansion.

Vincent quickly asked, “Father why won’t you allow me to help you out there? I can handle myself.”

Charles cut Vincent off before he could finish. “I know you can handle yourself and protect others just fine. However I need you on the inside for that very reason, to protect the students. You and Fuyumi can do this important task. Please Vincent, try to understand.” Charles explained.

“Alright father, I understand. But do look after Father Erik please. He can get a little reckless as you know.” Vincent added with a smile.

“I know Erik well. You please look after Philip. He’s much like your father Erik.” Charles replied with a smile.

“I know. Well, off with you now. We don’t want them getting any closer now do we?” Vincent replied in an upbeat manner.

Charles nodded, “Indeed.” He turned to the group . “X-men let’s move out.”

Ryan flicked his tongue out, tasting the air. He could feel something. Ryan tilted his head up, then he sniffed hard. There it was. That weird smell again. It was the smell of a predator. But something was weird. There were more of them now. One... three... four. Exactly four. They weren't human. They were mutants. Ryan ran out into the hallway and shouted towards the X-men. They had to know what they were up against.

"Professor Xavier! Some of them smell funny, there's something strong out there. One smells like ozone, like lightning. One smells like an animal, like a predator... Besides them, there are two others that smell funny. They don't have a specific smell, but they do smell... they smell... well, they smell like us. Mutants. The rest are just men, but there's a lot of them. Please be careful." Not waiting for a response, Ryan ran back into the control booth.

"I've just told the professor, but you should know as well. There are four mutants coming in. One of them smells strong, like a predator. Another smells like lightning. I don't know what their powers are, but they definitely smell different from regular men. Other than that, the rest are just men. Foot Soldiers. They brought some cars, but I don't smell any heavy deposits of gunpowder." Ryan directed this information at Professors Fuyumi and Aaiyah. Not knowing what to do, and not wanting to panic. Ryan sat down. He was scared. This was so different from school, even from danger room sessions. He had no idea what to do. For the first time in a long time, Ryan sat down quietly and said nothing. He waited for orders.

Cara Black

Cara raised an eyebrow at Aayiah's little stand. "You know for a drop-out you really are big for your boots." She answered the young girl coldly "And in case you hadn't noticed, I have stubbed the cigarette out anyway." She waved the ashtray theatrically, before leaning back against the windowsill. The teenager didn't scare Cara, she'd fought much worse then a socially awkward technocrat, especially since Aayiah had little power over Cara's, machines are all well and good but when you can remove your physical form your pretty safe.

It was the professors message that ended the confrontation. "Well, at least we've all had a warm up. Now for the main event." She smiled over towards the rest of the teachers.

“X-men let’s move out.”

Cara felt a shudder. "Oh that's still very strange to hear that as a good thing." she laughed before hurrying out of the door with the other teachers deciding to wait until they were outside to pull herself into the shadows. She stopped to turn back when she heard Ryan's voice calling after them, her eyes flashing with anger when he mentioned smelling mutants. "Traitors!" She growled to herself before hurrying back after the others, fire burning in her eyes. She could stand the X-men ideology even if it was wrong but it was when mutants betrayed mutants to the government that her blood boiled.

"They have mutants!" she echoed Ryan, catching up with the others. Even without looking at her it was obvious she wasn't impressed by the idea of their attackers. She eyed the collection of X-men, hurrying with her, she had to admit she'd always admired their collective stand even if it was usually against her.

She had to take a step back as they reached the front doors to mansion, stepping out into the afternoon sun only to be confronted by a small armies worth of soldiers. "Sh*t." she exclaimed before pulling herself into the shadows to surprise her enemies.

Adria shot water bullets at the robots in front of her, taking out knees and arms, heads and chests. She didn't need to do much more, Vila's staff shaking the ground under her feet. She's definatly handy.. she thought to herself, swinging a kick at the last one, landing a few feet away near a mountain of robot parts just as the alarms began to go bezerk.

So they are finally here..

“Listen well all of you. This is an emergency situation. The school is under attack by a source unknown as of yet. The aggressors are currently outside in the mansion and have breached the front gates. I want the instructors specifically, Scott, Cara, Logan, Aaliyah, Vila, and Ace to accompany Magneto and I to protect the school from the outside threat. I want Vincent and Fuyumi to remain inside the mansion and Barricade then yourselves and the students inside the Danger Room for protection. It is the safest place to hide. Be ready for anything.” Charles’ thought ran clear through the minds of all present in the mansion.

Bending down, she finally took the small, hand made silver hilt out from her boot, grasping it firmly in her hand. It was only a matter of time now. Soon, their will be soldiers all over the mansion, bagging and capturing anyone they could. Trask did not mention who he would have on the frontal assault lines, but there were a few names that popped into her head that she thought he would bring along.

Keeping in her crouched position behind the pile, she peaked her head around the corner quickly. Aaiyah had sealed off the Danger Room, locking everyone inside. So far so good..Thanks for locking us in girl.

Vila had taken the front, a bold move. If she was taken out quickly, it would be a better advantage for Trask and his team to find the weapon. Adria knew she was no match for the girl alone, and would have to wait.

"I will say this once and only once, This is not a game people can and will get hurt you are to stay back and out of the way. If Vincent and I go down you are to get out of here and to safty... However knowing that you are young and want to take part you will fallow my rules. You will stay in teams of three YOU will not rush in to things, study before you do or it may be the last thing you do. If I or Vincent tell you to run you better do so"

She could feel her heart pounding in her chest, an unusual sensation. Taking deep breaths, she wasn't sure why she was washed over with nervousness and anxiety. She had known about this attack the day before. Hell, she helped planned it, so why Falter now? She didn't understand it, and she defiantly didn't like how the feeling lingered. Oh well, let's get this done and over with.. then I won't have this retarded weird feeling...

Standing from her place behind the Debris, Adria pushed the button in the middle of the hilt, the Ice staff coming to life. Very little mist and steam came from where she grasped it from the heat of her hand, but felt nothing of the cold. She walked back over to where the other's were, giving a few confused glances. "What do you suppose is going on out there?" she asked, to no one in particular, raising her hand and placing it against the sealed Danger room doors, as if placing her hand there would command them to open or show the outside.

[Government Weapon-X Military Base of Operations]

Bolivar Trask stood in a secure interrogation room, not much between him and Pietro Maximoff a mutant known as Quicksilver. Pietro had been apprehended by the Weapon-X program for his connection to Magneto. Pietro the son of Magneto held an alt against his father and Trask knew that enough to exploit that.

“So we want something that you would be interested in delivering to us Pietro.” Trask said slyly.

Pietro smirked then flashed an annoyed look at trask as he sat in the dark room, “So you mean to tell me that you kidnapped me an brought me here so I could be a delivery boy? Gosh I know I’m fast and all but USPS should suite your needs just fine. Can I go now?” Pietro replied. He stood up and turned toward the closed door.

“You should really hear me out.” Trask added

“Then you should talk fast. I’m an impatient man you know. Meet me at least halfway old man.” Pietro replied in a snarky tone.

“We want our weapon your ‘brother’, if you can call him that, returned to his rightful place within weapon-x. He was stolen from us and we want him back.” Trask said with a hint of anger in his voice.

“Why would I sell out Vincent? Sure he’s not my favorite relative but he isn’t all that bad either. Besides I don’t hate him enough to ruin his life by delivering him over to you. So the answer is no. Goodbye.” Pietro replied and turned around again, however Trask spoke just before Pietro choose to speed away.

“But you hate your father enough to use Vincent as the dagger to Magneto’s heart. I know Vincent earned a special place with Magneto and Charles Xavier the moment the saw him, the product of two best friends at war with one another over ideals for years. The bond of peace between them, is the key to their undoing, the key to your freedom.” Trask grinned. He had Pietro hooked now.

“My… freedom…? Explain.” Pietro replied shortly.

“Well, my accomplice, delivering Vincent to us will strike a blow to your father harder than most others. One you’ve been yearning to deal to him for a very long time I imagine. By ruining him, your conscience can be free from the one who never accepted you and gave you the proper love you deserved. Relief in revenge.” Trask added.

“I’m tempted… but once again, I don’t need to harm Vincent to hurt my father. I’d prefer to hurt him with my fists over such underhanded tactics. I still acknowledge your little experiment as my little brother. So as long as I am given an option, the answer is still no. I’ll be leaving now.” Pietro replied with an arrogant smile. He felt a little proud of himself for sticking up for his little brother even if he was partly jealous of him.

“Oh but you misunderstood Pietro. You never had an option. But now I’ll give you one. You either help me willingly under the satisfaction that you took revenge upon your father, or I’ll experiment on your brain and turn you into such the puppet you won’t even know what an option was if it punched you in the nose. Your choice” Trask finished with a sinister laugh.

Pietro cringed. He knew there was no escape from this place without a serious struggle. He had better play along for now. “Well, since you asked so politely how can I refuse your kinder of offers? Of course I’ll help bring baby bro here. No biggie.” Pietro was compliant.

[Elsewhere in the facility]

David and Victor were speaking to one another as they prepared for the assault that would take place. David stood by a long table prepping and loading specially crafted pistols and other weapons that he was to carry. Placing a gun into one of his holsters he said, “So our secrete operative reported that Logan will be there. Won’t it be great to pay our dear Wolverine a visit?” David smiled sarcastically. He didn’t really have any qualms with Logan but he did consider Logan the black sheep of Weapon X, the one that got away.

“I’d like to tear him a new one for old time’s sake. He’d better pray I don’t run into him. I’ve been waiting to get at him, strike fear once again in his foolish Adamantium coated skull.” Sabertooth commented.

Stinger sat a chair away painting her fingernails. “Can anyone tell me when we’re getting this show on the road? I’m getting bored and if we don’t move soon I’ll redo my nails for the3rd time…” She was quite the valley girl. One would consider her a mall rat if it was the 80’s and the term was still popular.

Frenzy finished buckling her boots. “Show some form of restraint please Stinger.” She said as she shook her head.

Stinger, while applying nail varnish to her fingernails, commented, “Well I hope this ‘weapon…’ has more personality that X-23 over there. She always looks so angry. Such a waist of a pretty face and good figure.”

“And it’s attitudes like this that helps me to understand why Alexander has such low opinions of women. Stinger you’re so fickle…”, Frenzy rebutted.

Trask walked into the room with Pietro. Weapon-X team you have a new member. His name is Quicksilver. He is the son of Magneto.

Sabertooth smirked, “Humph just what we need, someone to show us how to run away. What else can you do speedy Gonzales?” Sabertooth chuckled.

“I could punch you in the nose 1000 times in less than a minute. Among many other things that would annoy you fang face.” Pietro responded. Sabertooth snarled and glared at Pietro.

The team soon after headed out. They approached the X-mansion with what seemed like legions of soldiers. These soldiers were trained and dangerous. Their target was ultimately Vincent and they were to snag any hostages that they could. There was inside intelligence in the Mansion as well. Their informant told them of a sewer passage into the sublevel of the mansion. This was where a portion of the invading infiltrated the mansion. Leading the infiltrating soldiers was Sabertooth and X-23. They waded through the waterway passage and then breached through the floor of the sub-basement.

Trask marched the primary assault team into the front lawn of the mansion after the soldiers destroyed the gate. They marched forward. Taking out the front lawn’s defense blasters. There were many soldiers armed with stun rifles approaching the front of the building.

“Be careful about who you engage. Remember the targets are mutants and are capable of anything!” Trask warned the soldiers. “One of your adversaries is the mutant known as Magneto. He is one of high ranking and is considered most dangerous. You all carry plastic weapons so that his powers won’t work on them. He may be at a slight disadvantage but that does not mean the others are to be taken lightly. Shoot first, and don't even think about asking questions." Trask commanded.

David rolled his eyes and smiled in a cool and collected manner. Frenzy glanced at David with a look of annoyance, “As a mutant, this whole thing actually offends me a bit. David, please remind me again why I work for this pig?” She asked while looking forward.

David replied in a slightly upbeat manner, “Because it’s better to be an ally of this fucked up governmental system than to oppose it and risk being eliminated.”

Stinger chimed in, “Oh… I thought it was because the pay is flipping amazing… or was that just my train of thought? Whatever.”

Pietro was not happy about being seen with Weapon-X. He didn’t want his father to getr the wrong idea. He was supposed to be an ally of the x-men and here he was attacking them. “Great…. Pietro! Look what a fine mess your into now! I’ll have to explain things to father if I can. And try to look out for Vincent. If he makes it out of here, he’ll owe me big time.”

[Inside the Mansion]

Philip was not pleased to hear that there was an attack on the mansion. He was ready to go into protection mode. It reminded him of a time back in Germany when a group of local men attacked his and his mother’s home because he was discovered to be a mutant. He fought hard to expel the intruders from his from his home. The X-mansion was his home now and the X-men were his family, he was prepared to le nothing endanger them. He then was disappointed to hear from the professor that he and the other students were to stay in the danger room. “But I must help…” Philip said quietly.

Hideki and Kyle were annoyed as well. They were ready to jump in on the action. Little did they know that the action was bringing itself to the danger room. When Fuyumi was about to head to the danger room to join Vincent and Vila, the student Ryan informed her of the scents he picked up on.

"I've just told the professor, but you should know as well. There are four mutants coming in. One of them smells strong, like a predator. Another smells like lightning. I don't know what their powers are, but they definitely smell different from regular men. Other than that, the rest are just men. Foot Soldiers. They brought some cars, but I don't smell any heavy deposits of gunpowder." Ryan directed this information at Professors Fuyumi and Aaiyah.

Vila snipped at Ryan, "Aaiyah said to stay here and not leave, and you are going to do as told. I wont let any one or anything thing happen to any one here. If you want to keep your finger dont touch the computer in the control room again. Am I clear"

Fuyumi frowned a bit. She didn’t feel Vila needed to be so hard of Ryan. He seemed pretty distraught and was probably beating himself up about the situation. She kneeled down beside him and placed a hand on his shoulder. “Thank you for being brave and resourceful. The professor and we instructors are grateful for the much needed information.” She spoke calmly and gently.

Villa addressed the group. "I will say this once and only once, This is not a game people can and will get hurt you are to stay back and out of the way. If Vincent and I go down you are to get out of here and to safty... However knowing that you are young and want to take part you will fallow my rules. You will stay in teams of three YOU will not rush in to things, study before you do or it may be the last thing you do. If I or Vincent tell you to run you better do so"

Fuyumi stood to her feet and addressed Vila. “It seems you’ve forgotten about me Miss Vila. I know I am pretty quiet and plain so I can see how you’d miss me.” She giggled a little. “I suppose I’ll take third wave then. I ultimately hope that the fight never reaches us.” Fuyumi added as she folded her arms.

Vincent rejoined Philip. He hugged Philip briefly whispering into his ear. “You did really well out there in the simulation. I wish I could have been down here with you then.” He really should have been paying more attention to the others but he was focused on his lover.

Philip smiled, “Thanks Vince. No worries okay. You’re with me right now and that’s all I need.” He wanted to reassure Vincent and ease his worrying.

Adria walked back over to where the others were, giving a few confused glances. "What do you suppose is going on out there?" she asked, to no one in particular, raising her hand and placing it against the sealed Danger room doors.

Hideki responded, “I’m not sure but I feel like waiting around here is more nerve wrecking than actually being in battle.” He twiddled his index fingers producing tiny multicolored sparklers, his way of nervous fidgeting.

Jonathan began to take off his gloves. "Not trying to be funny here or anything..." His husky voice rang out, echoing slightly into the now silver interior of the danger room as he removed the other glove. "...but you're all going to have to keep your distance from me. I don't want anyone getting hurt." With this, he threw the gloves to the ground and turned his body to the danger room door, Memory just behind him at his side.

'This is what I never wanted to happen...'

Kyle looked at Jonathan in concern. He knew what it felt like to have your body repel and hurt other via touch. He wondered if the professor could help Jonathan like he once help him. Kyle also wondered if he touched Johnathan, would his absorption ability and J’s Nightmare inducing touch cancel one another out. Kyle was curious. However now was not the time to test it out.

Kyle walked over to Jonathan and with his gloved hand he placed his hand innocently, as if he were a child, in J’s briefly and said, “It’ll be okay Mon Amour. You won’t have to hurt anyone that didn’t bring it on themselves by threatening this place of peace. I used to not be able to touch people without hurting them too. One day I went to a priest distraught because there were people in France that wanted me dead for being, what they called, a beautiful demon. I said I don’t deserve to live father, I plan to let them take me from this world. He told me, the Bible says touché not my anointed and do my prophet no harm. He told me I was blessed, and no less than any other child of God. I have a right to life and those that threaten my right to life invite God’s wrath upon themselves being out of God’s order. You may not be Catholic like I, but believe that you should not feel bad today if you must use your strength to protect those that desire to live properly and those that you love.” Kyle looked at Memory with a smile. He placed his other hand on her shoulder and edged the siblings closer to each other.

Vincent could pick up on activity seemingly coming from the area beneath the ground just outside of the Danger room area. Vincent spoke to everyone in the danger room, “There’s someone, no… there are many people armed and ready to hurt. They’re not only outside the mansion but inside as well! Not all of them are human. Students be ready to defend yourselves. Try to remain as calm and as clear minded as possible. You will be fine. Their numbers are too great for Vila, Fuyumi and I alone to handle without your aid. There are two Mutants as well. They are strong and highly dangerous. Do not attempt to fight them. Leave them to Vila, Fuyumi and I. Remember only if one of us is seriously in danger do you come to our rescue. Understood?” Vincent spoke calmly. He used his empathic powers to somewhat settle their nerves. This would help them to fend off attack better. “They are attempting to blow the doors down. And I’m sure they will succeed.”

Just as Vincent predicted the danger room doors moments later blew down after the sound of about 7 explosions. It took a lot to blow down the heavily secure danger room door. In rushed what seemed like 40 swat like soldiers followed by Sabortooth and X-23. The men stood weapons pointed at the students. Sabortooth spoke first, “Well if our little Weapon is right here. This was easier than I thought.” He smirked. “Come quietly and I won’t kill anyone I promise, you can read my mind if you like.” Sabertooth stood smiling directly at Vincent. It was then That Vincent realized their purpose for being here.

“They’re after me…” He said quietly halfway in disbelief. Philip looked at Vincent in confusion.

[At the mansion doors]

Scott opened the double doors and the teachers stepped outside of the building. Scott, Cara, Logan, Magneto, Charles, Ace, and Aaliyah proceeded outside. The afternoon sun was beaming bright. They were seriously facing off against at least 70 soldiers and 5 mutant generals.

Stinger was positioned to the right side of the mansion. Frenzy stood to the left side of the mansion. Quicksilver stood front and center. Alexander and David North held up the rear guard. Each mutant was assisted by a large group of soldiers ready for attack.

Magneto was shocked to see Quicksilver. “Pietro? Why are you here? Have you turned on your father?!” Magneto inquired with wide eyes. He was purely concerned and astonished that Pietro would trade on him this way.

“Dad I just wanna say that I don’t have much of a choice in the matter so forgive me if possible.” Pietro explained.

Trask gave the command and the soldier rushed in for the attack. They all shouted as the invasion began.

[OOC: I just want to first apologize for the horribly long post and how long it took me to post. Secondly I need to re-state that the Characters Stinger, Frenzy, and Pietro for this battle are slightly NPC. More specifically, You are allowed to control them in fighting during this event. However they must remain in the area I placed them (ex: if Stinger is outside in the front of the mansion then you cannot move her inside the mansion. If you want to move a character like that PM me and check with me first.) Alexander, X-23,David North and Sabertooth are NOT NPC. I know originally I said David and Sabertooth were but I’ve changed my mind due to various factors and plot threads. Alexander and X-23 are controlled by Lady Inali. Next, NO KILLING OR SERIOUSLY/ Fatally injuring/ wounding my NPC’s I want them to stick around for more than this battle. Soldiers are fair game. So if you want to get kick ass crazy, demonstrate on the soldiers. Please try to keep the character personalities I’ve established for the NPC’s intact if you choose to hve them say things during the fights. If you have any questions at all PM or OOC message me. Thanks for bearing with me everyone! I hope you enjoy this chapter!!]

Cara Black

Cara glowered at the small army swarming before them, even more so at the mutants leading them. They had, however picked a wonderful time of day to attack as although Cara's abilities were best at night time, the afternoon shadows the soldiers themselves were casting were still long enough to give her an easy hold on them. She flared her fingers out in rapid succession readying her powers, testing the shadows around her, eyeing up their opponents, looking for her point of entry into their ranks, anywhere she could cause problems. After a few moments she found her query in a gap in the grouping made by some of the foliage, when they came they would never even see her.

As the first crunches on ground underfoot started to come, Cara gave a quick look up to the leading commanders. She recognised them of course having fought alongside nearly all of them in the past, albeit back then they were fighting AGAINST humans for mutant rights. Once they'd been caught she was going to punch seven bells of crap out of each and every one of them. Cara had very low opinions of anyone who would stand against their own kind.

She turned her attention back to the now charging army and poised herself ready to attack along with the other X-men. She dived down the steps towards the nearest group of soldiers as soon as they were near enough, rolling back onto her feet and punching the nearest one with all the force she could muster, grabbing his rifle as he fell before pulling herself down into her shadow, reappearing moments later firing wildly into the three soldiers that had been left with their mouths agape, dropping them quickly. She didn't stop firing until the gun started clicking, she swung the weapon around her head and down onto the guns previous wielder, whose nose gave a satisfying crunch beneath it. "This is why you should use Russian guns!" she raised the gun again for another swing. "They just don't stop!" the mess that Cara made with just one extra swing knocked the man unconcious but she kept swinging anyway, despite being in the midst of battle. If anything it probably did her a favour, any soldiers who would otherwise have shot her was now staring in almost disbelief at the amount of force the slim built Russian woman was exerting in using a gun like a club.

Apparently regaining the moment before Cara, a soldier drove the stock of a rifle butt into her back, dropping her down to her knees where she once again pulled into her own shadow, grabbing the soldiers foot and swinging him upside down via his. "What the hell have we done now?! What warrants a small army of sodding soldiers?!" she shouted as she pulled herself back into being, bringing her foot up and resting it on the shoulder of the soldier who had decided to try and get too close to the flexible mutant, before swinging her whole body round and letting herself fall into the shadow beneath her bringing the soldier crashing face first into the paved driveway. She brought herself back into being alongside where Logan was currently taking his own stand against the onset of soldiers. She felt a sharp pain in her shoulder, the sound of guns now echoing all around the area it made it impossible to tell which belonged to the gun that had delivered the blow. "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.

[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. Vincent’s warnings came and Kyle prepared himself. Hideki cringed at the sound of the explosions that slowly loosened the Danger Room’s doors. “Danger in the Danger Room. Classic!” 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." Fuyumi’s gentle smile grew brighter when she saw Ryan’s 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 that….or something happen to them"

Fuyumi nodded in compliance however she was passively put off at Vila’s sudden rise to authority. To Fuyumi’s understanding Vila was simply the school nurse and seemingly young looking. Perhaps she wasn’t as young as she looked. Fuyumi didn’t 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 Sabertooth’s 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. Philip’s eyes widened and his heart raced. It was as if Sabertooth had said they were after his life instead of another. He’d die doing everything in his power to protect Vincent. He, holding Vincent’s hand, shifted Vincent behind him.

Vincent was touched to see his students and boyfriend instinctively move in to protect him. However he didn’t want anyone getting hurt on his behalf. He was almost ready to accept Sabertooth’s 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." Vincent’s eyes shifted in surprise to Jonathan and Ryan whom bravely confronted Sabertooth.
Sabertooth Snickered and stepped forward a couple of paces. “hahaha… 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 doesn’t 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 hadn’t 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 I’ll ask only ONCE more… Are you coming quietly or must I rip out someone’s throat in front of you before you see that I’m not to be trifled with?”

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 Vincent’s 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. “Hey! what about us!?”, Hideki shouted. He turned to face the soldiers that rushed in on the two of them. Hideki flipped his 90’s 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 couldn’t react fast enough. He struggled in Sabertooths painfully tight embrace. Sabertooth squeezed hideki’s 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. “Ahhh…. Eh, let me go you twat!” Hideki protested.

Sabertooth snickered sadistically. “Oh… so cute you are… Ya know, your powers ain’t so hot if you can’t use your hands.” Sabertooth began to whisper almost sensually in Hideki’s ear. “A little bird told me that you call yourself Logan’s 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, I’m going to seriously enjoy crushing you in my arms… Heh heh heh heh….!!” 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 man’s grasp. “Are you alright?! Oh my god I’m so sorry I couldn’t get to you quicker!!” She said frantically. Hideki trying to catch his breath and deal with his throbbing arms nodded affirmatively that he was alright for now. “Let make a run for it. I’ll phase us through that wall of ice.” 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 soldier’s hands but they would not move. The weapons were made of a non-metal alloy. “They’ve gotten smart suddenly.” 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. “See pops, you reap what you sew. And you’ve been planting this ass whopping for quite some time.” 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 couldn’t hear. “Sorry father, but I gotta put on a convincing show for them. They’re after Vincent, you can’t let them have him.”



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. “He’s hot! Quite the animal. I wonder if the hunk can handle my electrifying womanly wiles…” 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. “Ohhh so that’s how a man with an adamantium coated skeleton reacts to being shocked… much worse than a normal person. Metal is a beautiful conductor for electricity!” 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. “You’ve got some nerve lady.” 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. “Hang in there Cara!” 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 Scott’s side he delivered a roundhouse kick to Scott’s head. Scott was caught completely off guard and staggered backward. He hated to be bested. “Scott Summers… A pleasure to finally meet you. Although, looking at you, you make me feel old.” 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 Creed’s. So he looked to be Scott’s age but he was more like Magneto’s age.

Scott cringed, “Feel THIS!” 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 Scott’s optic blast and was prepared to fire it back at him. David simply fired the energy back at Scott launching him backwards a distance.

“I wish I could actually feel that like you did, Commando.” 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 wouldn’t be far away given that this was a Weapon-X operation. Logan said to himself, “The students… Shit!” He ran after David in an attempt to reach the Danger Room.
