Sentinel

Sentinel 1207 took a step back as its sensors were overloaded by a concentrated burst of light. It tried to work around this as it powered up its laser for another attack. The sensors were starting to register the mutant just as its systems went black. The sentinel ran a diagnostic to see if its systems were broken, but it came to the conclusion that it was only its video sensors that were not working. Its audio sensors picked up a swooping noise, and the sentinel moved its head to track it. It sent off a series of laser blasts, but there was no lessening of the sensor depravation.

Unable to get a fix on the location of the noise, the sentinel moved closer to where the sound had ceased. Suddenly, the video sensors were working again, but its prey was gone. Taking a quick scan of the area, the mutant classified as Jubilee was nowhere to be found. However, it did detect the presence of another mutant. Unable to compute how the mutant got there, the sentinel used its mission protocols and turned to this new threat. This new mutant sent off some energy charge particles at the Sentinel. It shrugged off the attack with minimal damage, rocketing up in the air to get a better angle for attack.

Wolverine decided to get some rest during the flight to New Orleans. In the back of his mind, he had a feeling that he would need it. he woke up when Colossus announced that they were 10 minutes from touching down in an area outside of the city. The jet landed in a clearing, and they teleported to the outskirts of town. They then began walking through the city, trying to blend in and arrive at the meeting point with Gambit safely.

Colossus

Peter walked beside his sister as they walked the streets of New Orleans. He tried to stay vigilant since they were very close to where the Sentinels were stationed. The tracer had given them a vague idea of where it was, not exact coordinates. But it least it was better than just telling them which state it was in.

Peter realized that he would have to find time to talk to his sister. Her darkchilde side has been coming out more and more. He knew that stress brought about the change, and god knows there had been plenty of stress lately. He was determined to talk to the professor when he got back to the mansion and see what they could do.

Colonel Stryker

Colonel Stryker turned to the pilot. "I want you to get closer to the grounds. I want to check this place out. I also want you to check your equipment and tell me why this place is not showing up on sonar. Put me down in that northern field......What a minute. What is that ? "

Stryker waved the helicopter down to land next to a jet. He jumped down and practically ran to the jet. He could make out the familiar Fantastic Four logo on the side . Damn it, he knew that the Avengers were off somewhere saving the world, and he had thought the Fantastic Four was off the planet. But it was too late to stop the wheel of progress, things were too far gone to stop now.

Walking towards the grounds, he was stopped by an invisible shield . He tapped it with his hands. Fascinating what these mutant brains could come up with. This was why he wanted to eradicate them from the face of the earth before they pushed homo sapiens into line for extinction. This could also explain why the mansion was not coming up on sonar.

 

[OregonGal]

Temera watched out the window of the jet as they arrived at the Guthries house. She sighed deeply as she saw the sentinel was already here.

"are you guys ready? looks like there is another one of those things to take out"

She kept scanning the ground, looking for the mutants they were after when she spotted something smaller flying around the sky. Thinking that it didnt look innocent, she turned her eyes back to the ground.. there was suppose to be a family here....

 

[msboy8]

Thing

Ben spotted the Sentinel and quickly set the X-Jet down behind the Guthrie house. He toggled the switch to open the hatch, unbuckled and followed the others out of the jet.

He moved around the house, trying to get between it and the Sentinel. The others could get the family out, the Thing had some clobberin' to do.

 

[chewbacca71]

The Guthries

As the dark shape came closer to the house, Sam could make out that it was the X-Jet. Letting out a large whoop of joy, Sam realized that the calvary was here. Then he noticed that the X-Jet was trying to land near the house. A Sentinel had noticed the jet approaching and moved to intercept the jet.

Pictures of the X-men blown to pieces from one of the Sentinels ran through his head as Sam sped towards the X-Jet. Ramping up his power to the max, Sam folded his hands in front of his head as he smashed into the Sentinel from behind. His invulnerability in flight was the only thing that saved him from the impact. He punched a hole in the strong steel frame of the Sentinel.

The impact had lessened his speed when he hit. His power was not strong enough to push him all the way through. Sam was stuck in the Sentinel as his legs were the only part of his body visible. The dead weight of the knocked out Sentinel fell from the sky , taking Sam on a hard journey to the ground.

Jubilee

Highway 95, Somewhere New York

Flipping the radio between stations, she picks up CNN with the audio footage of the 2 mutants executed by a giant robot. ::Ewu! Good thing I decided to come home now, the Profess & Wolvie are gonna need my help.:: Jub looks into the rearview mirror, as a glint of light reflexes off something. She adjust the mirror, “I wonder what that could be? Too high for a headlight & too quiet to be a chopper. Hmm ...”

Suddenly a red beam of light shoots out from the direction of the glint. “Whoa!” Jub loses control of the convertible, just as the beam slices thru the back seat of the car. Grabbing her backpack, she opens the door & tumbles out on to the hard asphalt of the road. “Ow!” Lying there for a second to catch her breath, while the machine that was following her lands yards away. “Mutant identified as Jubilee, proceed with termination.”

Muttering under her breath, “Not if I can help it.” She did a backwards tumble & jumped up, blasting the robot right into its visual sensors. ::Profess, Jean, anyone Help!:: Jub screamed out mentally, when a field of darkness drop right down on them. ::Wraith:: Reaching down to grab her bag & slinging it on, right before she grabbed by two familiar arms.

 

[msboy8]

Thing

Ben saw the Sentinel the same time a figure flew into the back of the Sentinel, impaling it and getting stuck inside. The Sentinel fell to the earth with the legs of the figure sticking out of it's back.

The Thing reached into the opening in the back of the Sentinel and pryed the opening wider. He then carefully freed the figure from inside the Sentinel and set him on the ground. He looked OK, so Ben climbed into the hole in the Sentinel and started smashing the inside to bits.

 

[Arc da Rat]

Jubilee

Wraith’s Castle, Demi-plane of Shadows

Holding on to him for dear life, knowing that he wouldn't let her fall. Feeling safe in the arms of the one man she gave her heart, soul & love willingly. The feeling started to fade, when they shift from real world to that of the Shadows. By the time they landing on the rampart of his castle, Jub knew that she was a virtual prisoner there till the moment his royalness decided it was time to go.

As his wings folded with a whooshing sound, he takes a step away from her to look into her eyes. ”Are you hurt?” She turns away from him to look out into the vast land of shadows, then shakes her head. Wraith move closer to wrap his arms around her shoulder but Jub moves away, turning to face him as she does. “Don’t touch me!”

The air around her crackled & popped as her power manifested itself in her anger. “Just who do you think you are? Waltzin’ in like that! You might be her”, she points in direction of Llandra’s castle, “bad ass prince of the realm but no Prince William you are not.” Jub focuses her energies & send a wave a plasma & works right passed his ear smashing it into the wall behind him, before storming off. “Squint! Squint! Get yer ass over here!!”

 

[OregonGal]

Temera got out of the plane just in time to see the sentinel falling to the ground and seeing Thing taking care of it, she quickly entered the house and started searching for the rest of the family.

She opened every door and cubboard a and calling out " Hello? is anyone in here? Its time to come out of hiding, we need to go!"

Starting to get worried, she walked back outside and said "I cant find anyone else."

She surveyed the damage that was happening to the sentinal and finally noticed the guy laying on the ground near by. She went over to him and checked for signs of life. Upon noting that he was indeed still alive, she gathered him up in her arms and teleported him to inside the plane.

He seemed to move on his own so she followed through with the only idea she had. "Mr. Guthrie.. where is the rest of your family?"

 

[chewbacca71]

The Guthries

Sam sat up and looked at his surroundings. Somehow he had ended up in the familiar confines of the X-Jet. The last thing he had remembered was running into the Sentinel. Savoring another precious moment of life, Sam noticed the women in the plane for the first time. Favoring her with a smile, Sam thanked her for saving his life. " As for my family, my sister Paige is watching over them at the mine across the western field. They have been safe so far, so hopefully they have gone underground far enough for the sentinel to not be able to detect them. "

 

[chewbacca71]

Sentinel

Sentinel 3401 squawked electronic death to the others sentinels as its innards were ripped apart. Sentinel 3405 and 3406 swooped down towards its prone body scanning for the threat that was destroying their fellow robot. Finding a heavy mass inside the main body of 3401 that did not belong, the two sentinels sent a barrage of missiles towards the opening in the fallen sentinel.

 

[chewbacca71]

Colonel Stryker

Stryker went back to the helicopter. He grabbed up the headset for the radio, signalling to his secret base. He was rewarded with the news that four sentinels were inroute and would be there in less than a half hour. Stryker sat back with a satisfied smile as he imagined the havoc that four sentinels could cause on this mansion and its occupants. He studied the data that the computer had found on this shield as he devised a battle plan.

 

[Abraxas Winterlight]

Wraith

Well, she has not changed...much.
"He won't come up here. This place is restricted to all but me. I just have one thing to pick up and I will take you to the mansion and leave you alone."

I shifted to my shadowform and dropped down through the roof and into the chamber below. In the center of the chamber was a blue dome of coldfire, burning brightly over a broadsword, stabbed point-first into the masonry of the stone.
I walked to the blade, and with a thought extinguished the coldfire. Reaching down, I grasped the hilt and with a cold ring of steel drew the sword from it's rocky sheath, and a eerie wail filled the air as Dirge awoke for the first time in years. The expected hammerblow hit my mind, and I forced the will of the sword back with my own. **NO! You will obey me! WE go now to slay foes that are targeting the innocent and defenseless, so cease this useless attempt and ready yourself.**

The sword wailed louder, seemingly in anger, then grew quieter, lowering down to a murmur. I formed a sheath in my armor on my back and quickly sheathed the blade, cutting off the sound. I then shifted myself back into shadowform, and rose up to the roof again, to find Jubilee pacing, throwing off small firecrackers as she walked.
" If you are ready, take my hand one last time and I i will take you to the professor. I will trouble you no more after that."
It ripped my heart out to say that, but if she no longer cared for me, then I would not try to hold onto something that was lost.

 

[chewbacca71]

Xavier

Xavier was just about to pinpoint the location of the next mutant in trouble when he could see a light blinking on the instrument panel. He quickly took off the cerebro helmet as he left the room. His wheelchair hummed down the eeriely silent hallways as he rolled to the control room. Looking at the monitor, he could see that there were a helicopter near the north field.

Xavier turned on the rudimentary radar unit and was rewarded with the information that more helicopters were coming as well as four masses that could only be Sentinels. He frantically moved to the phasing unit, making sure it was operational. His mind wavered for a moment on the idea of bringing the teams back to defend the mansion. But as long as the phasing field was operational, he had nothing to worry about. The sentinel and helicopters would not be able to breach it.

He sent a mental message to Scott Summers to meet him in the control room. He waited impatiently as a breathless Cyclops entered the room. Xavier explained to him what was happening. Cyclops nodded his assent to the idea of keeping an eye on the control room while the Professor went back to Cerebro. Xavier mentally assured Cyclops that they were safe, his own worries carefully hidden behind years of mental experience.

 

[msboy8]

Thing

The Thing was burrowing deep into the innards of the Sentinel and didn't see the missles approaching. If he did, he would have burrowed even deeper into the carcass of the robot. As it was he could withstand a direct hit from an Ap bazooka shell, so he wouldn't have been too concerned. He was just having fun tearing the Sentinel apart from within.

 

[DarkTalon]

Beast

Beast was in his lab working on the sental black box when he figured out that it had a satilight link up to the sental mainfram and to all ther sentnels .he was in the middel of up loading a viris when he stubeld on the location of magnetto that a sentinle had just found. he erased the info from the main frame than headed out the door he too the back way out the hous when he got to the phase filed he too a remot controle out and dis abled the filed he steped out the fild than went back on. beast was than gone

 

[kamalw1]

Wolverine led the team down the many streets of New Orleans. The ones who had never been here were looking around, taking in the sights. The city would have ben a good place to relax and party if they weren't here on important business. Aftr a while, they reached the place where they were supposed to meet Gambit. It was a quiet little diner. They picked a booth at the backof the place and sat down, waiting or Gambit to arrive.

 

[Morgoth]

Iron Man went into action, rocketing out the back of the jet. His sensors picked up the missiles that were rapidly advancing on the thing, and a second later, he had locked onto them. With a sigh, he began firing, until finally he had knocked them all from the sky. Unfortunately, this left him exceedingly vulnerable to attack, and he didn't even know what hit him when the Sentinel fired into his back, throwing him forward and slamming him heavily into the ground.

 

[Jeremy Davis]

Gambit

::He entered the diner and scanned around for the Mutants he was to meet. He was sure he would be able to find Wolverine first as Logan always found a way to stick out in crowds. Soon the team was spotted and Gambit joined them.::

'Bout time the Xmen came to save the day. Do you know who is behind this yet? I got a ring from Professor about meeting you all here..Unfortunatly I haven't been able to find the site yet....It's in the swamps I'm sure...

 

[OregonGal]

Listening to Mr Guthrie, she nodded. " we can only hope, Sir."

Temera heard the explosions of the missles being detonated and moved quickly as she slipped out of the jet and ran around the house. Knowing that it couldnt be good, she saw Iron man go down and she instinctively froze time once again. She ran from the security of the house and over to where Iron Man had been thrown to the ground from the impact of the sentinel.

Hearing a gasp, she realized it had come from her own throat and she muttered to herself, "cant die yet, you're not finished."
She knelt down, and hoping she could move him, scooped him into a cradling hug and teleported him back to the jet. She whispered a note of thanks that he wasnt any bigger.

Temera gently layed him down before slipping away from him and restarting the temporal world around her.

 

[chewbacca71]

Iceman

After Iron man was knocked to the ground by the Sentinel, Bobby turned to place an ice shield over him before the Sentinel could attack again. But in the blink of an eye he was gone. Scratching his head Bobby tried to figure out where he had dissappeared to. The Sentinel seemed just as confused, a small wisp of smoke appeared from behind its helmet.

Bobby noticed that the Sentinel was turning and would soon spy the X-Jet. Bobby ran towards the jet, sending out a hard ice bubble around the jet. It would probably not hold for long against the strength of the Sentinels, but it would afford it at least a little protection. "I wonder if robots IA deal with out of sight out of mind......" Bobby went back towards the house and was kicked back by a shock wave as the third Sentinel sent a sonic blast his way.

 

[chewbacca71]

Paige

Paige Guthrie could hear the vague echoes of the battle. That was due to how deep into the mine shaft she had taken her family. She had heard a large crash that bothered her a lot. On the other hand though, she was able to catch some static from her radio that sounded like the X-Men.

She turned to her family. "Sam is out there trying to protect us. I need to go help him. There were three sentinels, way more than he can handle. I need to go. "

Her mother looked over at her with saddened eyes. "No hon, you need to stay here with us. We have only you to protect us. If these robots get to us without you here, we are nothing but dead insects to it. Sam is the oldest , he can figure it out on his own. "

Paige was torn, but her obedience to her mother was one of the cornerstones of her life. "Yes mama, I will stay with you. But we need to do something here to help us out in case the Sentinels make it through. " Paige concentrated for a second and ripped off the pale pink skin from her body. Revealed was a new layer of skin, strong steel that would help protect her.

 

[chewbacca71]

Colossus

Peter watched as Gambit entered the room. It was good to have another X-men in the group. He listeded to what Gambit had to say. "In the swamps you think eh Cajun? It would have to be an area that was pretty open from the top so that the Sentinels could land. Maybe we need to take out the X-Jet and take a look with that. "
