Irons stood on deck of the S.H.I.E.L.D Heli-carrier with his new partner Agent Drezlin, waiting to here new orders from his superiors. They had been discussing exactly how they became S.H.I.E.L.D agents for about 20 minutes, more precisley, Drezlin had been explaining and Irons was listening.

Drezlin: "...so after being in the C.I.A for ten years they recruited me. I figure the pay is almost double and the benifits well, you know."

Irons: "Actually I don't, I'm sort of working off a debt I owe to the boys upstairs."

Drezlin: "Explain John"

Irons: "Well X-Force recruited me a few months ago after I ran into them at New Orleans airport. I've had this problem since I was young were my back would freeze up and I couldn't move. Forge figured out that I had two sets of bones, one growing over the other. One day I was abducted at our headquarters by this guy who worked for Mr. Sinister, one of the big baddies we use to face off with. S.H.I.E.L.D saved me and managed to alter my mutation so that rather than having the bones fighting each other, they worked togethor, that's why my limbs can stretch a bit farther."

Drezlin: "How far?"

Irons: "Well not like Reed Richards but I can probably stretch them at least 6 feet."

Drezlin: "Cool. So you miss working for Xavier?"

Irons: "Not really. I do miss my friend Marc though."

Their conversation was cut short when a voice beckoning Irons to the control room filled the air.

Irons: "Gotta go man, cya later."

Irons walked into the room to see a small group of upper level agents sitting at a large table. Senior agent Rhodes spoke.

Rhodes: "Irons, we are pleased with the work you have done tailing Black-Ops. We want you to countinue to tail Guilia Feria, you will be working with a team of agents who are also assigned to other members of the team. Just make sure we don't have another incident." The lights began to blink.

Irons: "What was that?"

Rhodes: "Nothing. Report back to your post and await orders."

Irons left the room. As soon as he was gone Rhodes booted up a giant computer screen. The screen flashed vital information about Logan Leabeau.

Rhodes: "It seems that the file we bought from our masked friend is paying off. We now have an extensive database about all members of X-Force." The lights began to blink again. "What the hell is going on today." Rhodes personal comm unit began to blink, he picked it up and spoke for a minute before turning to his associates. "It seems that we are under attack. Send all middle class agents to sector G3 order that Agent Irons be broughts somewhere else. It seems his former mentor is upset with us."

Rouge was taken aback. How rude. he had just walked in the room with out waiting for her to say anyhting. Had it been right of her to expect him to have charm? She sighed.
"First off," she began, "I'm Rouge-" he cut her off.
"I know that."
she continued "My name's Rouge, NOT 'Mama'. Got it?" maybe this was the best approach to use. May be not. Either way, she wasn't going to let him push her around. She had to set boundries. It looked like this was going to be an interesting experience.

Jack looked at the Southern beauty in front of him. "Well I only called you Ma'aM out of respect.

Irons was called to an emergency training session by one of his superiors. "We just want to test some of the new equipment we installed in you earlier today." "But you already..." "Yes I second test, this should take no more than an hour or so."

Meanwhile across the heli-pad (OOC: The big airship S.H.I.E.L.D uses as an HQ) Cable was trying to make it past the security system so that he may disable the computer systems long enough to hack in. Before Cable could do any further damage to the system however he found himself surrounded by armored S.H.I.E.L.D agents. "Why didn't I telepathically sense them?" Cable thought to himself.

"Nathan Summers you are surrounded, lay down your weapons and come quietly." Cable put his weapons down, preparing to use his psionics to take out all the soilders at once but something was wrong, a pain started to develop and grow in his head. Cable passed as the guards began cuffing him.

Stealth clinged to the ceiling as he observed Cable being taken prisoner, his employers would be happy indeed. Stealth crawled back into the air duct and exited the helicarrier.

Domino and Ricochet arrived at the airport. Riochet began briefing his new boss, "We have to find Wild Card he probably knows where Irons has gone off to" "Yes Marc but first we need to stop Cable from taking on the heli-carrier by himself. No single mutant can take it out. I don't know if even an army of mutants could do it. I mean so many have tried but none have succeded." In the shadows an undercover S.H.I.E.L.D agent picked up is comm reciever "Trouble, see if any of the Black-Op recruits who don't know anything about X-Force or Xavier can take'm out."

Jaewon Cairo in "Training Day Part Two"



So to make a long story short that man beast who bragged his name was Nikita practically wiped the walls with my battered body. He punched me until my face felt swollen. Then he began to kick my fallen form until I could feel my ribs begin to get damaged. At this point breathing was becoming a strenuous activity rather than fighting back.

Fact of the matter it was more than about just powers now. Hell the only power this behemoth had was a mix of the reflexes of Rajah and the strength of Gilgamesh. What he did have was an amazing knowledge on how to get the most of his limited powers. No now it was not about acquiring more powers now it was about pride and proving that not even this man beast could defeat the Genesis.

Hitting me with the superhuman strength of Gilgamesh and the speed, precision and accuracy of Rajah, I was damn near putty in his hands. I had never been this humbled before and it was taking me all the energy I could muster not to blackout and lose control again, but something had to give soon because I was having my ass handed to me.

After getting battered for a few more minutes, opportunity knocked as the lights in the room began to flicker. Using this as my one opening I climbed to my feet and awaiting my charging opponent. Once he was in range I dipped into my bag of tricks and used the oldest weopon in the world. Raising my foot I kicked Nikita square in the balls. With the man beast clutching his wounded family jewels, I utilized a move that I saw in the Matrix and used to the wall as a springboard and bounced behind him. Once I saw that he was beginning to get his barrings I entered his mind and began to reak havoc enlisting the help of telepathic screams, halloucinations, and overloading his poor unprotected mind until finally he brain had an anuersym and he began to bleed out the ears. Collapsing onto the floor I began to feel myself pass out from pure exhaustion when I thought I saw the visage of someone I knew before all went black.

Rantic had been on Magneto's island for a little more than a week now and was able to find some great info on his operations, with the exception of this mystery device that S.H.I.E.D was looking for. In the process, however, Magneto had started to become the father he never knew. Magneto kept a tight ship, he knew all his guards personally, so it came as somewhat of a shock when a mysterious masked man appeared walking with Magneto (Stealth).

Rantic had never seen the man before, who resembled a cross between Darth Vadar and Knight Rider. He couldn't get close enough to find what the two were talking about but witnessed the man give Magneto a disk. Magneto then handed the man a burlap bag. "Looks like Erik is paying for some information, but what?" The man disappeared in thin air, teleporting to some unknown destination.

Rantic new he had to find out what was going on soon. He was beginning to have that awful feeling in the pit of his stomach, like something bad was about to happen...

She stared at him in shock.
"What do you mean, Part ME??" she asked. She had already been wondering about how she'd handle it if she had to hurt Logan, and now she had to deal with this. . . this . .. rookie talking the weirdest stuff she had ever heard.

OOC: DT please check your mailbox before reading.

Guilia was awoken by the ringing of her comm unit. "Feria this is HQ we have a new mission for you and your teammates. Please check your email." Guilia walked to the computer, sitting in the corner of the safe house and opened her mailbox. The screen glowed with the images of Domino and Richochet. "These two are mutant terrorists who are planning to infiltrate our main office sometime in the next week. Your job is to locate them and subdue them at all costs while our agents take them." Guilia interuppted the message, "There's no one else here yet, it's just me." "We know, the other agents will be alerted momentarily. In the meantime, our agents last spotted these two at the airport, you are to leave at once." "What about Wild Card? Where has he gone to?" "Mr. Lebeau is on another mission, if you see him, don't say anything to him, you may blow his cover. Good Luck Feria." Guilia dashed toward the door, headed toward the airport.

Meanwhile at an udisclosed location: Stealth rematerialized in the Dark Beast's lair. He through the burlap bag filled with money toward the monstosity and knelt. "Good job Stealth and thank you for sending me the footage of Cable's capture. This will surely force my speciman out into the open." "And when that happens Sir, I will be ready to eliminate him if he won't agree to rejoin us." Mr. Sinister walked into the room, "...Wait I have a better plan. Let our friends in S.H.I.E.L.D take care of Wild Card, we have more pressing matters at hand."

Rantic entered Magneto's chambers, careful not to distrub anything. This was the only place he had not looked for the device but he had to act quickly, before Erik noticed he was missing. Rantic looked under Erik's bed to find the mystery box that he had searched for. He opened the box to find a metallic, cone shaped object, radiating with energy. Rantic's fascination with the cone was interuppted when he heard the door begin to open, someone was coming inside!

 

[PmTick]

ATTACK ON MAGNETO'S ISLAND

Rantic dashed under the bed as the door to Magneto's private chambers opened. One of Magento's guards poked around the room for a few minutes before Erik walked in. Magento lifted the man by his throat off the ground, "What are you doing here Simon?" "Nothing sir I was just...." "You think I don't know who you really are Simon? You've been working as a mole for the government the entire time!" "No sir it's nothing like that!" Magneto used his powers to pull a recording machine out of the inside of Simon's shirt. Without saying another word, Magneto through Simon out his window, watching as the mole hit the ground. Magneto went to sit down on his bed, exhausted by the incident when a loud explosion was heard from the other side of the island.

Magneto looked out the window to see a small fleet of jets pounding the island with missles. Three soilders came rushing into the room, "Sir the arabs from the other day are attacking us!" "You must retreat to the fallout shelter." Magneto raised his hand as his helmet gravitated toward him. "No, I will handle this. Get out there and keep firing." Magneto levitated off the ground and started destroying jets.

Rantic suddenly heard a communication coming from the ring, "Rantic get out of there now. Jump in the ocean and we'll have a boat pick you up." Rantic ran out of the room and watched as Magneto's troops were being picked off one by one. "Rantic get out of there." Rantic switched into his metallic form and took off the ring, crushing it in is hand. Rantic then dove head on into a small group of the attackers. He was fighting harder than he ever had before, killing the attackers one by one. Meanwhile a missile flew past Magneto and crashed into the main citadel of the castle blowing it into millions of pieces. One of the pieces hit Magneto, knocking him out.

Rantic watched as the only father he ever knew fell into the sea. Rantic screamed, "Erik Nooo!!!" Another missile hit the artillery barrack, causing an even bigger explosion. Rantic was propelled backwards into the ocean, as Magneto's fortress burned in flames.

OOC: DT I will pm you a bio within the next few days on a new villian.

Riochet and Domino had been waiting on line for a rental car for an hour now but it was finally their turn. Riochet approached the counter only to have a woman in a trenchcoat jump ahead of him. "Excuse me mam but I was next." The womans face was hidden under a large hat. "Oh I'm sorry, let me make it up to you." Riochet suddenly felt a piercing sensation in his neck. He looked over to realize that the woman stuck a dart in his neck. Ricochet passed out on the floor as Domino sprang into action.

Guilia through the trenchcoat and hat aside to reveal herself as Athena. She paused to predict Domino's moves and quickly began her attack, hitting square in the chest, breaking one of her ribs. Athena next jumped into the air, causing Domino to block her hands in the air expecting to feel Athena's boot against her hand. When she felt nothing Domino put her guard down to investigate to see the young woman stopped in mid air. Suddenly Athena's boot came crashing into Domino's face. Domino fell to the ground.

Athena stood over her opponents admiring her work before reaching for her comm units. "Targets neutalized, come by for pick up-" Guilia's comm unit went flying though the air as Domino's foot kicked it out of her hand. Domino was in her stance, ready for a fight, "I'm not sure who you are or why you attacked Richochet and I but you obviously never messed with a former member of Six-Pack before." Domino faked Athena out, hitting her in the stomach, knocking the wind out of her. "What's wrong hun? No time to concentrate?" Domino kneeded Athena to the forehead, knocking the young woman backwards.

Athena got her second wind and pounced on Domino. By now a large crowd of people surrounded the two women as police began to rush on the scene. Athena grabbed one of Domino's pistols and held it to the spotted heroine's head as Domino drew her other gun and put it against Guilia's head. Athen began taunting Domino, "Go ahead, do it!" Domino recanted, "Let's ee you do it! Your bluffing!" Police froze as the two women stood in the middle of the airport, guns against eachother's temple, anticpating their opponents next move.

Genesis in " Le Chaud Noir"

Once Athena called in looking for pick up I was released to come get her and the other two passangers. However after viewing the fight sequence between her and Domino, I was impressed. I was just about to provide back up to her when I felt a sudden tap on the shoulder. I tried to make a telepathic scan without looking but that was my first mistake.

The backlash from my halfhazard scan was tremendous. Knocking me out to the shadows right in behind the police, Guilia and Domino. With my head feeling like it is on fire. I barely got to see my attacker, while the face was hazy he looked like a kid. Before I could attack the boy yelled out "it ends now." Suddenly I felt my entire body feel like it exploded. Looking at myself in the mirror before blacking out I realized that I looked like a serious burn victim. As I drifted off I realized that is this is what dying feels like

" I thought he had told You By now. Logan Lebeau Was Engenierd By Mr. Sinester And The Dark beast. They Used DNA From YOu, Gambit, Storm,And Wolverien. He has All ways Strugeld With the fact that He Has The Memerys Of All of Yall .

 

[LadyGaladriel]

"I thought he had told you by now. Logan Lebeau was enginered by Mr. Sinester and The Dark beast. They used DNA from you, Gambit, Storm,And Wolveriene. He has always struggled with the fact that he has the memorys of all of y'all."

She felt as if she were falling slowly forward. His words had shocked her. . . her knuckles tightly gripped the wall. Her head was spinning. . . of course it made sense, in a strange way. . . why he could touch her, why he understood her. . . she could believe this. . . but it was true, and she knew it. . . Why hadn't he told her. . .

Her voice came out, a horse whisper, "I. . . I've got to try and find him . . . I have to . . . talk to him . . ." she started to faint, but caught herself in time. . . this was so unlike her. . . She turned unsteadily and left the room leaving Jack Frost staring after her.

 

[PmTick]

Agents rushed into the area as Genisis' body exploded. Domino had turned her attention away long enough for Athena to stab her in the shoulder with a knock out dart. Domino doubled over on the ground as Athena ran after Genisis assailant, who appeared to be a small boy.

The boy ran outside of the terminal, headed toward the parking lot. "No way he'll make it." As the boy ran onto the road, Athena was one lane away from the tiny assasin when without warning, a bus came between the two. Guila ran around the bus only to find the boy had disappeared. "Fuck!!"

Guilia made her way back to the terminal to see Domino and Richochet being take away into a S.H.I.E.L.D prisoner unit in handcuffs while Genisis was beign put into some containment chamber shaped like a tube. She ran toward her teammate, "Is he going to be alright?" A medical officer answered her, "Tough to say, we're airlifiting him to our facilities now." "The heli-pad." "No Agent Athena, we can't tell you where we are brining him." Gulia was going to follow the medicial unit when yet another S.H.I.E.L.D agent intercepted her.

"Good work. We will take care of everything from here, report back to your safehouse, you'll be briefed there." Guilia was frustrated, "I'm not going anywhere till you tell me where WildCard is and where your taking Genisis?" "I can't tell you either, but perhaps your briefing will inform you." Within minutes the terminal had emptied and Guilia was on her way back to the safehouse, ready for her next mission.

"Hey Jack, did he know. . . y'know, . . . this?" she knew he must have, yet she couldn't imagine why he wouldn't tell her. . . probably because she'd react like this. . .

OOC: Lady do you want to get in on Athena's next mission?

Richochet awoke to find his arms chained togethor and an inhibator collar around his neck, keeping him from using his mutant powers. His eyes soon layed on a welcome sight, the man he came looking for sat in front of him, also in chains and inhibited from using his mutant powers. "Cable!!" Nathan Summers didn't answer, he was passed out. "I think they drugged him." Domino, also captive, added from across the room. "Where are we?" "The S.H.I.E.L.D helicarrier, the most heavily armored fortress in the world." "Why are we here and who captured us?" "I'm not sure, they all looked like feds. which means that our buddy Cable has gotten us into some serious shit."

Somewhere in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, a yachet passes by a man floating in the ocean on a wooden plank. The captain signals for the men to pick him up. Little did they know, Rantic, the man they just picked up is now on S.H.I.E.L.D's most wanted list. One of the sailors listened to his heart, "He's still breathing but barely, let's get him to the med-deck until we dock in NY." Three deckhands carry Rantic to the medical deck below, hoping they can save the unconscious man.

John Irons emerged from his training session, tired and irritated. "What the hell do they need to hold me for two hours to tell me I'm doing a good job." As Irons walked through the halls he realized their were a lot of repair men running around. He stopped on of them to figure out what was wrong, "Hey man what's all the comotion?" "Little bug in the system, fried the electrical unit for the rec-deck, we'll have it fixed in a jiff." Irons looked down the halls to see an entire wall of cpu's were fried. "Some bug..."

Irons walked into his superiors meeting room, they all stopped as he entered. "Agent Irons, have you completed the training module we assigned?" "Yes" "Good we will be sending you to New Orleans to meet up with a member or two from the Black Ops Division for your next mission." Another agent handed Irons a sealed envelope as one of the board members countinued to speak, "In that envelope is a cd-rom telling you about your next mission, do not activate it till you arrive in New Orleans. Watch it with the operatives who will be working with you. Good luck." Irons walked out of the room and headed for the transport deck, ready to hit the Big Easy.

Mike Zimmer raced down a highway in Baltimore with the top of his Jeep Wrangler down. The cool night air blew through his hair letting him feel something he hadn't in years, freedom. Mr Zimmer was just released from prision two weeks ago after serving twenty years for robbing a bank. Back then he was a brash, angry young man, trying to get his hands on cash without working. Not unlike his cellmate. He was different now though, he was loved is job working at the docks even though it didn't pay much. Sure some of his business associates from the past had asked him to do another robbery or to for them but he had told them he turned away from his life of crime for good. Just then he heard sirens and saw the flashing lights of the state trooper car behind him. Mike pulled over to the side of the road, realizing that he had been doing about 15 over the speed limit. Mike prepared to get his registration out of the glove box when two troopers appeared on each side of his car with their pistols drawn. The trooper on standing on the driver's side barked orders, "Get out of the car with your hands where we can see them you sick son of a bitch or we'll empty our guns into you." Mike kept his hands in the air as he jumped out of the Jeep. The same trooper who yelled at him grabbed Mike by the hair and bashed him into the side of the Jeep before cuffing him. Mike fell to the ground mumbling, "..don't you think this is a bit excessive for speeding..." The trooper said nothing, instead he kicked Mike in the lower back. "How dare you joke about this you sick bastard!!" Hours later Mike would discover that he was arrested for robbing a bank in downtown Baltimore and slaughtering everyone who worked there and the patrons who were there on their lunch hour. It took the police department three days to sort through the bodies, some of them were mutalated beyond recognition, they had to use dental records to identify more than half of the victims. Even though Mike was home sleeping at the time, the entire incident was caught on the securtiy cameras. Two years later Mike will be killed by lethal injection for a crime he never commited.

Miles underground in their lair the Dark Beast and Mr. Sinister celebrated the success of their latest experiment. An unmasked Stealth walked into the room, "What's everyone so cheery about?" Beast pointed to the video feed from the camera he planted on his latest assasin, showing the footage of the massacre at the bank. "We're admiring the handy work of our newest recruit." Sinister stared at Stealth in disbelief, "Your face unnerves me without your mask." Beast laughed at this remark, "Well he is one of the only four people on this Earth that can harm you. Not to worry though, he's with us." "So who's the new recruit?" Stealth asked. A voice boomed from a dark corner of the room, "That would be me!"

A insanely muscular man a hair under 7 ft tall walked out of the darkness. He resembled a mix between Sly Stallone in his Rambo days and a lion. His smile revealed a set of fangs that Stealth had only seen on sabertooth tiger skeletons at the Museum of Natural History. Stealth stepped back in fear, "What are you?" The man quickly took the form of Cyclops, then Abraham Lincoln, then Rouge, and finally returned to his menacing demenure. Sinister introduced the man, "He is our latest recruit, known only as Kouger." Beast countinued the introduciton, "Well seeing as how Wild Card deserted us we created a more powerful and more deadly assasin. This time around we used the DNA of Mystique, Sabertooth, Mastermind, and Caliban."

Stealth looked at Kouger in confusion, "I definatly see the Sabertooth and Mystique in him but what about the other two?" Suddenly Stealth burst into flames, he jumped to the floor trying to brush out the flames as the other three men laughed. Just as quickly as the flames appeared, they disappeared. Stealth got up as he replied, "Ok I guess that was Mastermind's illusionary powers right? What about Caliban." "I have the former horsemen's tracking ability, only a lot better," Kouger answered. Stealth pointed to the video feed of the massacre, "So that's your handy work?" Kouger smiled once again showing Stealth his teeth, "Yes."

Stealth directed his attention to the two mad scientists, "How do we know he won't run off like the runt did?" Beast answered, "Let's just say he's more loyal than Wild Card was" as he picked up a syringe with green liquid in it. As soon as Kouger saw the syringe he ran toward the Beast. The needle piereced Kouger's skin as all of Kouger's veins were activated at once. Stealth was still confused, "What is that liquid he seems to be addicted to?" "Pure adrenaline with a special chemical added to it. He's not only addicted to it but I can make him stronger and more ferocious with every shot." Beast turned his attention back over to Kouger, "How would you like to wreak a little more havoc before meeting your brother?" Kouger roared like a lion, causing the entire room to vibrate. "Good" Sinister replied.
