Schools For New Mutants

[Neale]

OOC

The thread will live, even if we have only a couple of students. Isolde is having a hectic week thus far, but as soon as she is able, the fun commences. In fact, I'm thinking it might be best to gather the remaining students, and continue the story in a new thread altogether. Comments, anyone?

 

[Gaea]

ACK!

OOC: RL is kinda tossing me about like a rag doll, and I haven't any time to post anything useful right now... I just want you all to know that I'm still here. I might be able to post something tomorrow after work.

 

[Neale]

Wonderful!

OOC: Okay, we have two definite students, and two teachers... Anyone else still with us?

 

[TygerEyez]

Tara

Wonderful way for me to prove I could actually cook... I grinned back at Lucas, and threw a dishtowel to his chest. "I wash, you dry."

Washing was better anyway... you got to play in the water, after all, something I loved doing. Damned Zodiac sign. As I dipped my hands into the water, I let my mind wander, back over the experiences of the day.

I was amazed that I had actually done what I did, but there was still a dark aura over my combinding with Martin. His powers were so dark.. untrusted. I felt a shiver climb up my spine, but I tried to ignore it and focus on scrubbing the grease from the hamburger plate.

I'd meant what I'd said. Thinking back to the "greats" of Xavier's men... Storm, Rogue, Gambit, Wolverine, Jean Grey, all of them... my powers in comparison were parlor tricks, meant to amuse a crowd. Actually make a difference with them.. yeah, right.

Lucas

I grabbed the dishtowel Tara tossed at me and set to drying the dishes. Tara started splashing around like a fish in the soapy water, so I grabbed a handful of suds and blew them back at her.

But, in a corner of my mind, I was thinking over what the Professor said. Building a new team of X-Men, a rescue mission...my mouth went dry just thinking of what all we needed to learn to even begin to be effective. Yet, at the same time...damn, I'd been wandering around for so long, it seemed with no other purpose than to avoid getting caught by Fenniman and his crew, to have something like a purpose seemed almost strange...and strangely appealing.

OOC: Whatever you and Isolde decide Neale is fine by me. Would very much like to continue with this story or one like it.

 

[BadForm]

OOC: The Chans are still around, at Mass. Acad. However, I am sorta waiting for Rache's next posting (if it comes). If you guys need to go on and nobody else, inc. Rache, seems to be at Mass. Acad., just set up the time and I'll have one of the Chan's be about school ready for Miss Frost to talk to. Basically, right now, I'm waiting on others.

 

[Isolde]

Emma Frost

OOC: My deepest apologies to all in the thread and especially Neale. Real life has had me coming and going and my posting has been totally haphazard. Hope this post makes up for it.

IC:Emma sighed as she entered her office once again. She was really pleased with the performance of her students. They had performed well beyond expectations. They were probably waiting for her to gush all over them as Xavier did his students but that was not how she worked. Look what that kind of attitude got his last students. She would not let that happen to hers.

"Yes, look at where that got him. I always knew his softness would get someone killed,"A male voice came from behind her as the doors closed. Emma spun around and her eyes narrowed as she gazed upon one of her 'benifactors'.

"Magneto," She said in less than a welcoming voice. The only man besides Xavier who could shield himself from her,"What do you want?"

"Now, now, Emma," He said moving to stand in front of the door,"You would almost think you werent happy to see me. And we have to talk."

"The semester has just started," She said, turning to look at some papers on her desk in a very dismissive gesture. She hated talking about the Academy with him. She knew he was only after strong students to replenish the Hell Fire Club. And she hated that fact. "It is too soon to talk."

"Not so," He said, his eyes steady on her and his stance not changing,"I 'saw' what happened at the mall today. I would say, under the right tutilage that they will do very well."

The tone in his voice made her head snap up and her eyes narrow.

"And that tutor wouldnt be me, would it," She said making it a statement instead of a question. "You're dismissing me and taking over yourself. What do you plan to teach these kids? How to kill and destroy any and all who are different? That is not what this school is for, Magneto. You know I dont allow that kind of thinking. I dont believe in helping the normals as Xavier does but outright destruction makes no sense."

Her body had tensed and she fought from lashing out in panic. Magneto was more powerful than she was and, if he wanted to take her school and remove her he could. But not without a fight.

Magneto smiled coldly. "Dont be a fool, Emma. Your feelings for your students is admirable, if a weakness, but you dont have a chance of besting me and you know it. Chalk this up to another learning experience, get out of it alive and go on. Its what you are good at."

He turned to go out of the door and Emma reacted. She had hoped his vanity and self confidence would have masked what she had planned and she was right.

The first thing she did was use her telepathy to telecast to her students.

"Everyone in the building. Do not interfere no matter what you hear. Get out NOW. Danger. Get out! Find Xavier....he will help. GO NOW!" Adding a mental push to get them going she then attacked Magneto with all she had as he turned back towards her, sensing what she had done.

Her hands locking on his arms, she used all of her powers to buffet him and he raised his in defense. The two stood, locked in a mental battle that only one would win. And Emma knew who that one would be. Her only hope was to keep him unable to do anything until her students had escaped.

Hey, i know i seem to burst in a ways in the thread...but it looked like you might need some more ppl in it, and if you do, just tell me and i'll jump in with my char i made up awhile ago.

 

[BadForm]

Shen Chan: The Messenger

Shen heard Miss Frost's message and knew what she must do. She was pure spirit, and so could neither affect nor be affected by anything in the physical world. She was completely immune to Magneto's power to control magnetism, but she was also completely unable to help her fellow students. However, if she concentrated, she could instantly focus in on the mind of another and "be" where that mind was. She had felt Xavier's mind even as she battled the confusion inflicted on the Chan system at the mall. His was a mind like Miss Frost's, extremely powerful and telepathic. She focused on that mind now, and saw the School for Gifted Youngsters, where Charles sat in his chair following dinner. He sensed her as soon as she concentrated on him.

Professor Xavier, she transmitted mentally, I am Shen of the Changeling Chans. I am of Miss Frost's School. She needs you now. The one called Magneto is attacking the school. She will die without you.

If she had understood the mind correctly, he would know she was serious and not waste time with ridiculous questions.


OOC: Do you have some particular plan? Magneto _could_ be shielded from Shen's powers, but if you want, I have no problem with her using her mind control abilities to stop the attack. As I think I said originally, she is the most powerful of all the Chan's - her flaws being she is only there when the Chan system sleeps, has little interest in anything other than helping the Chans survive, and has no direct impact on the physical world. Oh, and also as I think I noted - Chan's body is NOWHERE when she is around as she has no body.

 

[Isolde]

Dirk...welcome and please join. You may want to go to Xavier's as my students will be going there soon.

BadForm...thanks for the offer but, realistically, if Emma cant stop Magneto, and she cant, it would be impossible for an untrained character to do so. This is simply a stepping stone for the next part of the adventure. It is ment to give a reason for the two schools to join.

Everyone is supposed to get the message and get clear of the building and to the Xmen mansion.

 

[Gaea]

Zoe heard Ms. Frost's message. She whirled about, snagging Vincent by the arm and herding the others toward the door...

"Now!" she cried out. "We must go NOW!"

She could feel the struggle, almost visualize it... please, Ms. Frost... do what you have to, but don't get yourself killed...


OOC: Oooooh! Once Zoe gets some training and fully understands what she is, I think she could full-on whip Eric's magnetic ass. And the masses shall call for vengeance, sweet and merciless!

 

[Neale]

Professor X

Charles sat bolt upright at the table, where he had been chatting with his students while they did dishes. A message of utmost urgency had just been sent to him by one of Emma's students.

He sent back to Shen, "Gather whatever students you can, and flee now. None of you, Miss Frost included, are a match for Magneto. I am sure she is keeping him occupied for the moment, but we must get you all to safety. Help is on the way, but for now, you are on your own. Get out of there, and I will contact you when we are nearby."

Xavier spoke aloud now, to his students. "Lucas, Tara, (whoever else is here?), we need to hurry. Magneto is attacking the Massachusetts Academy. The students are fleeing now, and we are going to gather them up and bring them here, where I can protect them."

They all moved quickly through the mansion, then turned down a corridor, and through a sliding door none of them had noticed before. It led into a very high-tech looking corridor. Soon, they arrived in a hangar, where a modified SR-71 Blackbird sat. "Forge has helped me keep this in perfect running order, and we will need its speed to get to them in time. I apologize in advance for the ride you are about to get, but I am not anywhere near the pilot Scott Summers was."

WereBane

C: Name: Hunter
Nickname: Werebane
Origin: Unknown
Age: 24
Des: 6'3" tall, brown dread locked hair, brown eyes, and a small go-t growing out, and a slim, yet muscular build, was part of the X(...) and escaped one day, and tried to pick up a life he once had ,played football till my powers really kicked in and i got chased off. Ran for most of the time since i had accidentely mortally hurt a player from the other team...and some of his buds were after to kill me, they were mutant haters...and well i guess i was now a mutant.
Powers: Extra sinces in smelling, sight, and taste. Another project of the X(can't remember tha name right now) and has a skeleton of adimentium like wolverine, only instead of 3 claws, he has 4, one coming out of each knuckle. Has adimentium flowing in my blood, so when i get a wound, it instantely flows over it, and goes away as my skin grows under it. Has a strong immune system too, but not a strong healing system like wolverine, he broke out of the area before they could do that to him.

IC: I walked up to the mansion door, i hoped maybe that this Profes X could bring out the healing system they put in me...i heard alot about it since i was similar to wolverine, and i trashed the place that held me, and read what they had done to me...i just hoped the stuff wouldn't kick in so quick.

I rang the door bell...nothing happened. I knocked on the door...still nothing. I pounded on the door, and still no one awnsered...oh well, one last thing. I tried to turn the door handel, and it opened...well...what do you know, a open door!

I walked in and looked around "HELLOOOO???!!!" nobody answered...oh well. I walked in and looked around, setting my bags on a chair near by the enterance. I walked back and found a kitchen, and a room with a big screen tv...well what do you know, the 2 things right next to each other...i could live right here for all i cared.

I went to the fridge and grabed some munchy food then made my way to the TV. Laying back on the couch i turned it on and flipped some channels, finally finding something to watch, i laid back and ate the food i grabbed...soon i fell asleep.

 

[sojournerwolf]

Lucas

With the others, I follow the Professor. The food is already making itself felt and I feel strong, fast, senses alert.

In the hanger, I stop for a moment and gawk at the sheer sere beauty of the jet. But only for a moment, then I follow the others inside and buckle up. I've heard of this Magneto asshole from mutants in the underground and if even half of what I've heard is correct, we are headed into some major shit.

"What can I do to help, Professor?" I ask.

 

[Isolde]

OOC: Anyone else to respond? Neale, should we put up a notice calling for fill ins on this thread?

 

[Phantom2001]

Jack Stone


I knock on the door. I hope someone answers. My parents just dumped me here. They have not wanted anything to do with me after that day........ 2 years ago I was walking home from school a black van drove up behind me and dragged me in. When I woke up, I found out that I had adamantium inplanneted in to my skelton. The man who did this to me told me about a man who had this done to him. They called him Weapon X. But, I would find him under the name of Wolverine.

My powers: Adamantium skelton. Claws. Physic abailities. Healing abailities.

Please open the door....

 

[Dirk13]

umm....

OOC: how many Weapon X chars we gonna have in here???

i mean i posted as one, and then umm...yeah phantom did too...so what to do what to do...

 

[Neale]

OOC: Umm.. guys

While I realize that Weapon X is one of the cooler ideas in the XMen legend, I think that having three escaped refugees, none of whom are actually Sabretooth or Wolvy, is pushing the bounds of credulity a wee bit. How about we just stick with the first character to use that as part of his origin, and you others work on a different conception? I'd surely appreciate it.

 

[Gaea]

Zoe paused for a moment as the others ran ahead. She turned and bolted back into the building, to her room, that she might stuff her few possesions into the beat-up old duffel she'd brought with her. Yes, another thoroughly stupid idea on her part -but when you don't have much you tend to cling to it...

A quick jaunt through the halls revealed no one... the other students must have all fled. At any rate, she couldn't sense any of them. Good.

She burst back out the doors and into the expansive yard. It might be prident to summon authorites... the Police, Fire Department, someone -not that they might be able to do anything.

Zoe crouched near the side of the door. All right girl, just do it and get it over with...

Purplish light began to exude from her diminuitive frame, spilling out onto the grass, twisting and writhing like flame. She squeezed her eyes shut, and touched the wooden doorframe.

"Please... just a little bit... that's all I'm asking..."

Her soft plea seemed to work, clipping off the tiniest bit of psychokinetic energy from her purple aura and igniting the doorframe. She stood and headed for the street as fast as her legs would take her.

Behind her, the flames snaked about the foyer, lighting up just enough combustibles to set off the fire alarms...

OOC: Executive Decision

OOC: Everyone, I have decided that this thread is too unwieldy and long to keep going. It is now officially dead...

However! The thread will be reborn with the same characters, and we will pick the story up right where it stopped, with the retrieval of Emma's students. I need to check in with Isolde, to get things set up, but look for the thread to start Monday night.

Here are the characters I know of. There will be an OOC thread to go along with it, and I would appreciate it if everyone would post their character descriptions and powers in the OOC thread. You can just copy your old post from the original, if you want.

Here are the characters I expect will be in the new thread:
Neale: Professor X
Telepathy

Isolde: Emma Frost
Telepathy

Licci: Tara
She can enter the world of the DreamWalkers (enter people's dreams), and she can focus a beam of light from her hand to either put people to sleep, or to act as an attack

sojournerwolf Lucas
Wolverine-like powers, minus the adamantium.

Gaea: Zoe
Various psionic powers, telepathy, telekinesis, and variations thereof.

Badform: Chans
Multiple personality, various powers


Characters I would really appreciate being reworked to not be WeaponX, Wolverine types, of which we already have one.
Dirk13: Hunter
Phantom2001: Jack Stone

(Reason being is that we are working on a storyline revolving around Lucas and WeaponX, and other, similar characters would make things difficult.)

 

[sojournerwolf]

Look forward to the need thread

Will be looking for the OOC post when it is put up. I still have the old description of Lucas, is that okay to post? I may edit it a little for brevity, but the general features, especially his mutant abilities will remain the same.

Thanks!
