Hellion Reacts

(100,100)
Hellion stepped forward and stood a few feet behind and to the side of Cyclops as he began to try and talk the other mutant down from his murderous intentions. Hellion listened, but began to scan the area for things he could use. The trees were the most obvious choice as weapons. Some of the older trees could weight up to 200 tons, but a smaller tree, maybe 30 feet in height, was more manageable. He had pulled trees that size out at the mansion in training and knew they weighed close to 20 tons. Fully loaded garbage trucks weighed in at 20 tons too, and made a hell of a lot better weapon, but there were none in sight. The farmers had even been so kind as to put away all their equipment and tools too.

Cyclops continued to talk to this mutant who seemed bent on killing them all. Hellion knew him from his studies and recognized him from his glowing yellow eye. X-Man. A powerful mutant, one even that Professor Xavier feared. Hopefully Cyclops could talk him down, or at least distract him to the point he let his guard down.

Out of the corner of his eye, Hellion saw Wolverine and Skoll unsheathe their claws and tense their muscles in anticipation of the attack. And Nocturne was wandering as well, perhaps to get a clear line of sight for an attack. Hellion also heard Warfly behind him, the light buzz from his wings barely audible over the conversation going on in front of him.

He focused in on a nice Maple tree about 20 yards behind X-Man. It’s 35 foot height stood calmly in the afternoon air. Hellion was planning on ripping it out of the ground and bringing it up at high speed behind X-Man while he was distracted by Cyclops and drive him into the jaws of Wolverine and Skoll. The leaves rustled slightly as the ground protested against the telekinetic force. Just a few more seconds and it would be free and ready to use…

“Hellion! Move! He’s forcing me to…”

Feron’s voice broke his concentration. He turned his head to see what his friend was yelling about and shot skyward just as the energy bolts left Feron’s hands. The crackle of the air as it was superheated was distinct in Hellion’s ears. The main bolt passed harmlessly under him, but on of the arms snaked through the sky and caught up with him twenty feet above the now broken ground.

He didn’t have time to react, to put up an energy shield as the electricity coursed through his body. His scream was cut short as his muscles convulsed violently under the shock and clamped his mouth shut and drove the air from his body. He hung motionless in the air for a second before gravity overcame his upward momentum. He fell back to the earth, bouncing roughly off the once packed ground. He was more stunned than injured as he caught his breath, but he stared up at X-Man. A dark feeling gripped his stomach as he began to rise, knowing he was vulnerable until he could focus again and help his team.

Feron Clears His Mind

(88,100)
Hellion had shot into the air, avoiding the center of the energy bolt, but one of the tendrils had caught him. Feron knew the power of his bolts, having been subjected to them by his Father during his early training. He hoped Hellion would recover from the fall.

He retreated back into the depths of his own mind, focusing in and clearing his mind of the other presence. It was a strong presence, but it was Feron’s mind. Clarity would come quickly, just as Hellion was rising from the ground and readying himself again.

[let3us2be1free0]

jake was amazed at the display of power he was seeing. x-man had just forced feron to attack his own teammate! and because feron was gifted with magic, jake gussed that wasn't easy. "i guess that means there is no use resoning with him. our best chance is to catch him off guard, and disable him. too bad that is easier said then done."

 

[I_Am_Lust]

Magik's jaw dropped in horror. What the hell was Feron doing?! her hands clenched into fists as she looked on, her power crackled over her fingers like little bolts of lightning. "We should do something," she muttered. She was sure she could've reflected the attack back at him.

Professor Xavier

Listening to his students the Professor was impressed by their tactical knowledge especially young Jake who seemed to understand and seek the motives for Danger's choice of simulation.

"well profesor, prehaps she is testing our abilitys against high level mutants. we need experience fighting them, and who better to recive it from then danger herself? and just incase we try to reson with the enemy, she gave them a story that they are convinced by that seems conplete nonsense to us."

"I agree Jake. When the X-Men first formed they waged war with Magneto, a mutant whose power involved control over one of the fundamental elements of the universe. And you are correct, reasoning is an approach we must take. While I'm troubled by the somewhat incoherent nature of his story, many of the adversaries we face have motives and rationale that appear alien and foreign to us. The key to changing their views begins first with understanding them."

Xavier turned his head to listen to Magik's strategy.

"A reasonable strategy. Perhaps I could create a telepathic shield inventive enough for lack of a better word, to deceive Nathan, but that may only be deceiving ourselves"

Xavier feels frustrated.

"I have fought this 'X-Man' on occasion. His mind....when focused, when angry was like a force not from this Earth. He seems to be able to manipulate the very astral plane from which all psychics draw their powers. He is the only mutant mind to ever teach me something. It was Nathan's ability to take an astral form and give it a physical one that gave birth to Onslaught. No, I don't think there is a way to defeat Nathan. Not like this. My solution would be..."

Xavier frowns. For some reason the weight of this Danger Room simulation is getting to him. He feels it carries a gravity for more than any other "tests" his X-Men will run. He thinks of the students watching as Nick Fury left his office, unaware of the consequences of acting or not acting on his request.

The moral dilemmas the X-Men face when confronting a task.

Xavier doesn't think the students are yet ready to learn some of the solutions that give moral dilemmas a sour ending.

Xavier looks up at the students and smiles.

"I am confident the X-Men will find a suitable resolution to this challenge Danger has posed. As it should be. There decision would be the just one. And against such a foe, my solution would stand an equally low chance of success and failure would only anger him further. It would also be...well... rather sinister" he says as his voice rises.

"And taking such actions tend to cause greater harm than good in the grand scheme."

 

[I_Am_Lust]

(100, 100)
"I can't take this anymore! I can't just sit back and watch people be hurt by someone who uses magick when I have the power to do something. I'm sorry Professor, but I'm not standing still any more." Illyana threw her hand out, a portal appearing in the floor of the observation desk. She tossed her golden hair and gave a saucy wink and grin. "I'm taking initiative." She dove through the portal, which delivered her to the left of where Feron was attacking. (Teleport -5)

Looking grim Magik settled her gaze on Feron, ignoring everything else going on around her. Her portal disappeared as she willed it away and straightened up. ""I don't want to hurt you Feron but I can't let you harm the others further." Magik told her teammate. (95, 100)

 

[NiteCrowe]

Nocturne is Cyclops

Nocturne grinned slightly as she stood behind behind Cyclops.

She reached out with her hand and touched the back of his neck, then suddenly pushed herself through her hand into Scott.

Soon the possession was complete, and Cyclops Looked around, smiling as he realised that none of the others had seen what had happened, Everyone had been too absorbed with Feron's attack against Helion.

It had been the perfect diversion.

He began to think about his powers, and where he could use them best.

 

[NiteCrowe]

Warfly

Warfly spun around at Feron's attack against Helion and instinctively knew from the change in air currents that magik had joined them.

Then he noticed that TJ was nowhere to be seen

'Guys, where's nocturne?'

 

[Shaq]

X-Man

(100, 100)

(-100 ME 100% ME reduction)
(-100 ME 100% ME reduction)


"Try to reason with him? I'm a telepath...dad!" Nate says punctuating the sentence mockingly as he rises into the sky (-3 ME 100% redux).

"And some of you obviously forget that."

Cyclops would get his reminder soon enough. The other X-Men would get a far less subtle taste of his power.

Hellion Falls to X-Man

(100,75)

The glowing yellow eye of X-Man trained itself on the fallen Hellion. Julian’s mind clouded and a sick feeling came over his body as he stood on wobbly legs. It felt more like vertigo than anything, that feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when you stand up too quickly and the blood flows away from your brain. Hellion’s vision began to fade, to close in on him, until just a horrible yellow glow encompassed all he could see.

Just as quickly as it came over him, it was gone. He shook his head lightly and began to step forward to rejoin Cyclops following the outburst from Feron. As he stepped, that sick feeling again came over him. He could almost hear X-Man in his head, not through his ears but directly in his head, much like Professor Xavier communicated from time to time.

“Shit,” he said softly as for one instant, he knew what was about to happen. Hellion knew that X-Man was a telepath, and much like the Professor, could manipulate the thoughts and actions of others at will. That is why Feron had attacked him, he was under X-Man’s control. For that one instant, Julian understood. That sick feeling in his stomach and the voice in his head were X-Man, probing his mind for a weakness, probing for a spot to settle in and control him. He knew his powers were no match for the Omega-Level mutant but struggled against the force regardless.

It was a battle he was destined to lose.

He felt his powers increasing to dangerous levels, much the same feeling he had when Emma Frost had helped him unlock the mental blocks that kept his powers in check. He tried to reestablish the blocks, but without the help of Emma or the Professor, they shattered and his full potential was released.

Unfortunately, he was not in control of the flood of power than filled his body.

He left the ground and accelerated skyward at a speed he had never come close to achieving on his own. His body reverberated as it broke the sound barrier and created a shock wave that could be seen and heard for miles around. The sonic booms continued as he passed through the sound barrier a second and third time. He had traveled this fast only once before, and the effort alone had nearly killed him. As he passed through 2,600 miles per hour, the sound barrier broke again. He was traveling vertically at a rate of nearly a mile every two seconds.

By the thinning air, he knew he had already gone beyond the height flown by most commercial airliners and felt no signs of slowing. Several seconds passed and Julian fought to regain control of his powers and release himself from the mental control of X-Man. His concentration was broken by the extreme cold and the shortness of breath he was feeling. The air was thinning quickly. Julian’s vision began to close in on him as hypoxia began to set in and his body was starved of oxygen.

Julian’s mind began to wander as his head lolled on his shoulder in the frigid absence of air. A quick mental calculation and Julian figured he was nearing 80,000 feet. The curvature of the Earth was more apparent on the horizon as it stretched in front of him.

”It really is beautiful up here,” he thought as he continued to streak skyward.

As the air continued to thin, his thoughts became more and more disjointed. He began to feel the crystals of ice forming as the water in and under his skin began to flash freeze.

“I wonder if Specter will get a chance at Team Lead someday. I need to do laundry, I’m out of socks. Feron’s a good guy. I’ll have to give him some shit for zapping me when I get back from visiting my folks. Emma sure is a good teacher. Man, a burrito with jalapenos and green chili sounds good about now. I’m sorry I failed you Professor…

His thoughts trailed off as he dropped into unconsciousness. The mental lock was broken, but Julian continued to sail skyward under simple momentum. He hung motionless for a split second as gravity finally overcame his vertical energy. The earth beckoned him to return, slowly drawing him back into its sweet embrace. The fall back to Earth was less spectacular than the flight to the edge of space. The limp body of Julian Keller tumbled gently in the rushing air, much like a leaf falling from a tree.

Seventy-seven seconds later, and nearly two miles from where the journey had begun, his body slammed into the roof of an 1800’s-style gambrel-roof barn. The lumber supporting the roof caved in under the 600 mile per hour impact. The hay stored in the loft exploded out of the hole Hellion left in the roof and cascaded over his broken body down to the hard-packed dirt floor. His body lay motionless, buried under nearly two tons of hay. The impact shook the old barn violently, shuddering a hundred years of dust and cobwebs loose from their perch.

A single swallow, startled by the impact, returned to its perch on the weathervane atop the roof. Its slow, melodic pitch pierced the once-again still air.

Feron Reacts

(88,100)

The voice came from his left and brought him out of his semi-trance state of concentration.

“I don't want to hurt you Feron but I can't let you harm the others further," Magik said, readying herself to attack.

“No, don’t!” Feron said as he backpedaled and moved away from Magik. “I couldn’t control it! He had control!” Feron pointed at X-Man as he pleaded with Magik.

As he finished speaking, he saw Hellion step forward and then rocket skyward. In all the years Feron had known him, he had never seen him move that fast. Something was wrong. He knew in his gut that something was horribly wrong. It was the same feeling he had just before he lost control himself.

Julian was under X-Man’s control.

Acting on instinct, Feron gave a quick incantation and tried to catch Julian with his binding before things got too out of control. The nearly invisible ribbons of energy shot after his friend, but the increasing acceleration quickly put Julian out of reach.

He turned to Magik with a slight glint of fear.

“Do we even stand a chance against him?”

[NiteCrowe]

Nocturne/Cyclops attacks!

Cyclops - (100,100)
Nocturne - (90,100)

The possessed Cyc walked casually up behind wolverine until logans back filled his range of sight and opened his visor letting loose an oblitering beam, that tore through the canadian x-man as well as the others. (100 to wolverine, 30 to all others)

The blast caused Nocturne to de-posses cyclops, as the blast was too much for her to handle.

Cyclops collapsed.

Nocturne, free of X-mans grasp, staggered around for a bit, before promptly collapsing as well over Cyclops.

Cyclops - (0,1 - Unconscious)
Nocturne - (80,10 - Unconscious)

 

[NiteCrowe]

Warfly!

(100,100)

Warlfy looked around, still trying to determine where Nocturne had gone.

Then Hell froze over.

Helion suddenly shot up into the sky, and Warfly could only guess that he was out of the fight. Almost no more than a second later, Cyclops let loose one of his feared obliterating beams, form point blank behind wolverine.

Suddenly an Air Current changed and Warfly, knowing that the rest of the blast from cyclops was coming, attempted to run. (85% chance of avoiding attack...percentage roll less than 85% chance = Sucess) and somehow he took to the air, narrowly missing the blast.

Sighing he quickly landed and attempted to take stock of the situation, and from the looks of things, he realised that Cyclops & Wolverine were probably out, though in Laogan case, probably not for long, helion was awol, for want of a better term, and noticing Nocturne falling over, realised that she was out of it as well.

He turned to look for the others, fighting the urge to run to his girlfriends side.

'Feron, Skoll, Magik? you guys ok?'

(99, 99)

 

[I_Am_Lust]

(95, 100)
Magik eyed Feron as he backed away from her. He seemed to be back to normal, but the others were acting strangely still. She cried out in horror as Cyclops attacked Wolverine and the others. Where was Skoll?! Had he been hurt as well when Cyclops had attacked. She wanted to run over and make sure the others were okay, but first... "Feron, are you back under your own control?" Her voice trembled slightly as she took in the carnage. If he was she'd move on and see if she could help the others somehow. "I don't know if we can, but I have something up my sleeve that might break his control on the others. I hope.."
(95, 100)

 

[MilkManDan007]

Feron's Ploy

(84, 100)

Feron saw Cyclops unleash the Optic Blast against Wolverine and Skoll before he turned to face everyone else. He barely had time to react as he threw up an energy shield around himself and Magik. He had never tried to repel an attack with such force. Some of the energy managed to seep through and strike him, knocking him back several feet. Cyclops collapsed, followed by Nocturne. Wolverine was nowhere to be seen. Feron, Warfly, Magik and Skoll were left to try and fight X-Man alone.

“I’m alright, Warfly. A little singed, but at least I’m alive.” He turned to Magik, his mind racing to find an answer to the X-Man problem. He grinned. “Yeah, Magik, I’m me. I might have something up my sleeve too, literally.

Feron closed his eyes and cleared his mind. He knew that X-Man was a telepath and was probably probing his mind right now to see what he was thinking. So Feron thought of everyone at the Institute.

Professor Xavier, Cyclops, Wolverine, Gambit, Hellion, Nocturne, Specter, Psycho, Forge, Elixir.

“I need your help,” he whispered softly in his mind.

Even though they were only illusions, the images of them began to appear around X-Man. The illusions probably wouldn’t fool the powerful mutant for long, but they might distract him enough to find a weak point.

“X-Man!” Feron called out, “Now more mutants know. The Professor, Gambit, Forge, Elixir. Mutants more powerful than any of us. You wanted us all gathered here at once, and now you have it. Do you plan to take us all on at once, or do you want to tell us what this business about being judges by the Guardians is about?

He hoped the illusions would give X-Man a reason to explain his being.

(75, 80)

 

[Shaq]

Observation Room - Specter

Dallas Gibson's mouth was slightly ajar in surprise.

This battle was not going as he expected.

He'd never seen the mutant the X-Men were facing before but he had seen the X-Men in battle before so he wasn't worried.

He knew what the X-Men were capable of.

As he rises in the air Specter wonders what's so impressive about this guy that has done nothing but give a light show and fly?

As he smirks contemptuously at the overrated "X-Man", Danger highlights and zooms in on a view showing Nocturne possessing Cyclops.

"Hmm. Ilyana was right I guess. His telepathy may make him a problem."

Suddenly not too far away Specter head turns as a quickening sound of electrified air swooshes through the Danger Room.

The only thing that Dallas can see is Feron's hands crackling with power and Julian Heller lying on ground.

"HELLION!!!! What just happened!?" Specter asks frantically, concerned over the former New Mutant's safety.

A small holographic panel arrives in front of the group to answer the question. Replaying the event slowly, Danger announces a graph will adjust the scene to account for psionic energy.

The yellow energy flowing from X-Man appears in a design like almost a thousand minds resembling Nate's face and they all head toward Nocturne and Feron.

Moments later, Feron gives Hellion a warning but not even seconds later unleashes a terrible blast that leaves X-Force's Team Leader on the ground.

Feron's mind appears possessed as his magic powers war out of control.

"We should do something" Magik says.

Feeling badly for hating his friend Hellion gets an overwhelming sense of guilt. If that blast had hit him Dallas may have turned on his teamates if the darkness over took him. And if he wasn't in shadow it may have killed him.

Specter tries to remember the computer codes he learned in Shadowcat's class.

"Access...code, uhm...Dallas Gibson..no! Gibson, Dallas...files on Nathan Grey" a tone is heard to signify the request was accepted.

Taking his mind away from the action Gibson starts to read files about the mutant the team is facing.

"I can't take this anymore! I can't just sit back and watch people be hurt by someone who uses magick when I have the power to do something. I'm sorry Professor, but I'm not standing still any more."

Hellion is so captivated by the file that he doesn't make mention of his fellow students departure. He reads the notes on Nate Grey and grows more worried. Specter knows what the X-Men are capable of. He realizes more and more that he has no idea what the mutant they face is capable of.


"Professor...it says here that Nate is the son of Jean Grey and Cyclops from another Earth ruled by Apocalypse. He was one of the only survivors and when he came to our world he overturned the balance of psychic power in our reality."

Dallas reads the next lines very carefully. He feels a sinking feeling in his gut.

"It says he says he was defeated by Excalibur....and that deception was used by a Onslaught, someone named Madeline Pryor and Sinister to use his powerr against him. Okay, so this guy can be beaten! Ok let's find....hmm....it says he claimed to have beaten Sinister, Dominio, a mutant called Holocaust...EXODUS!? God..." Dallas turns silent as he reads the last line.

Professor....he...he....beat you?"

 

[Shaq]

Professor Xavier

"Have patience Ilyana. The X-Men will deal with this threat. All we can do is-" the Professor glances at his student and knows what she is thinking.

He is the world's most powerful telepath. He can read the mind of a man who sleeps and experience his life a million times. Reliving every last detail over and over again, in less time than it takes for a human being to blink.

Charles Xavier is also teacher. And though he would not violate his young student's mind by spying on her thoughts, Charles Xavier has been around youth long enough to know exactly what it looks like when they are about to do something rash.

"Ilyana-!!!!" Before he can finish she is gone.


Taking a deep breath Xavier commands Danger to enlarge their viewing area. He would like the screen adjusted to show magical energy residue and any psychic energy. At least Jake and Dallas would get a chance to learn from a far and see things that those in the field may not.

Xavier's attention is pulled by Specter. He can sense the growing fear and disillusion in his voice.

[/I]"he beat you?"[/I] the young boy asks.

Sighing Xavier nods.

"My defeat was not because I fell to young mister Grey's power. My defeat happened before that. When I wiped Magneto's mind I started a domino effect of power misuse that corrupted me. When I encountered Nate Grey, I could not treat him fairly, I could not appeal to his sense of justice or humanity because at the time I had none. As a result, I was not able to tutor him and help him realize that the cruel, cold world in which he was raised does doom him to embody those same traits."


Suddenly Xavier feels something that resembles an icepick in his chest. A feeling of overwhelming dread that words cannot describe.

"Oh my...oh no...." he says as he watches a trail of psychic energy leave X-Man and enter Hellion's mind.

Xavier can see Danger speculate on the psychic strain and Hellion's energy levels are pushed beyond his mind's own natural barriers.

Nate Grey has pushed Hellion's mind and caused him to exert his powers to their upper limits. Using the same telekinitic powers that allow him to fly Hellion rockets through the air at speeds a human body was not meant to withstand. Hellion was an X-Man but still learning to use his powers.

One day upon mastery of his powers, a telekinetic shield would deflect the billions of particles in the air that collide with objects that fly at top speeds. Watching as X-Man forces Hellion to fly without such a shield is appalling as the tiny particles in the air must burn and scrape Hellion's skin.

Danger shows Hellion's descent as he falls back to the Earth, dead.

Xavier waits. He expects a mission briefing that one of the X-Men have been eliminated. He expects Danger to tell him of the extent of Hellion's injuries. There is only silence.

Dead silence.

A cold fear grips Xavier. He reaches out his mind into the Danger room in an attempt to locate any sign of Hellion's brain activity. He receives none.


He turns to Jake and Dallas and says without regard for their inexperience "Prepare yourselves. The X-men need help." as he begins to exit the Observation Room.

Using his mental powers Xavier reaches out into the minds of Forge and Elixir.

"Forge, shut down all electrical devices immediately. Leave the Mansion. We need a dampening field over the entire Institute. We may have no time to evacuate. Alert the inactive X-Men and have them guard the students."

Evacuating so many students without placing them in greater danger was impossible. Danger could control every electronic device and even power mechanical devices. Any plane, bus, or even car would be subject to her control.

"Access code: Xavier, Charles Francis. Executive Override: End simulation!"
"Denied!"
"Dammit!" he says his frustration heightened.

Whatever has gotten in to Danger is unknown to him. But Charles Xavier now realizes his students and his X-Men must deal with her alone.

"i know that we need to accept other societies and religions and such, i meant that maybe she made him believe something that she made up so that we couldn't reason with him."

 

[let3us2be1free0]

jake was shocked at what was happening. the x-men were attacking each other, hellion was probably dead, but he might have regained control, surviving at the last moment. with only a few students still active, they stood at chance at fleeing, but not at winning. especially after hearing some of his history from specter. they would probably be severly wounded or die. at the thought of death, he begain to lose some control. his emotions started getting violent and fearfull. he wasnt at full blown panic yet, but he was close. he started to anlyze the situation, and when the profesor couldnt open the doors, he relizeed that he might die. in this state of mind, he became confused. he decided to sit down and try to get some control over himself. "profesor, if you have a moment..." he was forced to think his next thought in the profesors direction cause he coulnt speak clearly with his mouth. could you help me get control over my mind?

 

[let3us2be1free0]

bobby was enjoying a smothe and was watching tv when elixer rushed in. he told iceman that he needed to protect the students immediatly, xaviers orders. at the words "protect" and "xaviers orders", bobby jumped up and raced toword the students as fast as possible. "im on my way" he shouted back to elixer.

Wolverine and Skoll

Wolverine and Skoll went flying as the beam caught them. [(W:100 dmg -50 dmg red.=50 dmg.) (S:30dmg=70)] they hit the ground and rolled, "Alright, that hurt a little bit." Logan said, as he slid along the ground and came to a rough stop "Ow."
"Feel the wrath of the wolfgod!" Skoll roared in an unnatural voice "DEATH IS UPON YOU!" he roared again as he released a powerful chain of golden lightning, toward X-man. (100 energy-50)

(95. 100)
Ilyana watched as Hellion fell dead. Tearing up, unsure if it was real or not. Her heart leaped in joy when she heard both the Wolverine and Skoll's voices. Though she was terrified of what was happening, she knew that there was something she could do. She ran for the wall closest to the exit and placed both hands on it. Concentrating on what she wanted, a portal appeared as she gave a triumphant grin. "Feron, Specter come on! We can go for help this way!" She stood guard and tried not to draw too much attention to herself as she waited for them to notice.

Beast Awakens

Slowly, and groggily Hank opened his eyes, finding himself in the infirmary.

He stood and, realising that Elixir wasn't around, headed out to the mansion, noticing the lack of light.

Suddenly he Bumps into Forge, Elixir and Iceman.

'Forge? Elixir? Bobby? Whats going on?' He asked taking up his role as the senior X-man

 

[NiteCrowe]

Warfly

Warfly looked around and, noticing Wolverine and Skoll, standing and fighting, flew over to the unconscious bodies of Cyclops and Nocturne to stand guard.

He began to remember something his father had said about X-man, as well as about Danger and began to think.

'Danger, End Simulation authorisation McCoy, Matthew, Code G23I97FDY6.'

Nothing happened.

'Crap.'

He tried to think about X-Man, then he thought about magic.

'Magik can you get Cyclops and Npcturne to somewhere safe asap. Then we're gonna need you back here.'

He turned to Wolverine, 'Surely Magic Could do the trick followed by a frontal attack, with an array of ranged attacks being used at the same time. or we can try to overload his brain.'

Then he whispered so that only Logan could here, 'And, this is only a guess but, I think Danger's gone rogue or something again, she wouldn't accept any codes to end the simulation.'

Feron Gathers More Mutants

(75, 80)

“Feron, Specter, come on! We can go for help this way!” Magik shouted, urging the others to pass through her portal and to safety.

Feron kept his eyes closed, concentrating on the other mutants he was “bringing into the simulation” through his illusions.

“Go, Magik,” he said in a soft and mellow tone, “I will stay with the others to see what X-Man has come to tell us.”

Feron began to run through the mutants he had learned about in his studies and began to project their images around him. He did not differentiate between those who were still alive and those who had died. He also didn’t differentiate on friend and foe. He hoped X-Man wouldn’t make the connection and simply see more and more mutants gathering to be judged by the guardians as he had put it. Storm, Jean Grey, Beast, Colossus, Magneto, Scarlet Witch, Nightcrawler, Toad, Emma Frost, Iceman, Archangel.

Feron did not want to overextend himself and have the images fade or distort, so he stopped summoning images. All the while, he kept his mind focused on one thought: “My friends, we need your help.”

The images stood next to and behind Feron as he continued to levitate in front of X-Man.

“We have gathered our forces, X-Man.” Feron said, continuing to keep his eyes closed and focusing on the maintaining the images of the other mutants standing around him. “Now, please tell us of these guardians and why you have come.”
