The Guthries

Sam looked over at Iron Man. "Sorry boss, but the professor sent the message through me this time. He mentioned that he was having a hard time contacting Jean. He told me that you'll need to make tracks out to Muir Island. They is a massive Sentinel attack there that Moira and her crew have been able to keep at bay so far. I wish I could come with you, but he charged me with a solo mission. Hopefully we will all meet alive when this is done. You may want to ge the heck out of here. " After saying this, Sam launched himself in the air, a trail of jetwash following him.

Peter agreed with Gambit. "You are right Remy, there are too many people here. I will have to drive them off. All of you go with Magik to that warehouse we saw three streets back. Teleport to the jet from there. I will take care of these people. "

Peter went out to the middle of the road. He whistled piercingly to gain peoples attention. He quickly changed to his organic steel body to at least try to hide some of his identity. A few humans started moving towards him."You stinking mutie.....get out of here. "

Peter reached down with one hand and picked up the nearest car. Holding the empty car above his head, he turned towards the humans. The men quickly ran the other way seeing the sheer power in front of them. Needless to say, the street cleared very quickly as panicked humans ran to get away from the dangerous mutant.

Asteriod M

Magneto looked at his forward viewing panel. He could see the media coverage of the two young mutants that been killed. Even looking at it from a tape, 12 hours after the incident, he felt a small shard of pity for the mutants that had lost their life. At least in the afterlife they would receive their reward for being the first martyers in the war with mankind.

He looked around the room noting the look of shock on the other mutants that he had gathered. He had always kept a tight rein on his people, so most of them were with him. He spoke up to them. "I want you to look at this. It is the first declaration of war from the homo sapiens. Do not turn away in horror, but look at what they have done. "

"But what you really need to understand is that this is twelve hours old. Since this incident, many other mutants have been attacked. Luckily for you , you are here under my protection. The Sentinels do not have the ability to reach us , yet. I will not allow them to reach that point. "

"I am not drawing us down into a pointless war. I will let the mutants that were foolish enough to not follow me suffer for their poor choice. When the war is at its height, we will strike. We will cripple the humans when they least expect it. I will wrap my hands around the leaders of the world and throttle out their lives. There will be none to stop us as the world will be ours to rule. We have only to wait......." Sitting down in his chair on the dais, Magneto laughed at the humor of humans making his job easier.

Temera sat in the jet while Mr Guthries was talking as she heard his offer of sanctuary for future rescuees. Thinking that it would be a good idea since the jet would get full eventually, she unbuckled herself and slipped out of the jet just as someone was closing the doors. "I'll catch up!" she hollered as she took off at a run for the western edge of the clearing.

Being in good shape wasnt an option in her time so it was nothing for her to keep a fast, steady pace as she crossed the fields to the cave entrance. She slowed down as she searched for the actually opening and with patience, she found it. Temera stepped into the coolness of the earth and breathed deeply, not having had many opportunites for this sort of experience in her past, most of the caves she knew were man made and called sewers. As she made her way down the tunnel, she was paying close attention to the feel of the caves, listening and looking at the natural walls as well as feeling them with her hands. Its sometimes best to get all the senses involved when memorizing a place.

As she walked deeper, she started hearing the echos of voices of those that were already down here. Temera slowed as she approached them. Smiling, she slowly stopped as she looked around. Temera then walk back around the bend and stopped, getting a good feel for that very spot.

She lifted her voice so the others could hear her as she spoke "if it would be possible to not change this spot... as in not put anything here or try to alter this section any it would be really helpful for teleporting anyone that I might need to bring here. Sam said it would be alright to bring other mutants here if it became necessary to hide them for a bit."

Temera turned around a few more times, looking at everything in that spot from ever possible angle before heading back to the entrance. She called out as she left "Good luck, hopefully we will be able to take care of the threat as quickly as possible!"

As she resurfaced at the edge of the clearing the house was at, she noticed that the jet had left. She smile as she thought about the jet. Getting a feel for the interior of the jet as well as the smells and sounds of it in motion she closed her eyes since teleporting still got her dizzy if she didnt.

Upon opening her eyes she looked around and quickly took her seat, buckling herself in and just waiting for any comments that might come from the others as she waited for them to arrive at the famous Muir Island.

Thing

Ben was getting used to the mutants coming and going. So when Temera left the X-Jet shortly before take off and reappeared in the cabin some time into the flight, he was not surprised.

Ben set a course for Muir Island intending to stop and scout out the situation there before landing.

 

[Morgoth]

"All right. I don't have any experience on Muir island, or with the mutants we're talking about. I need any information relevant to the situation, on powers, weaknesses, and terrain."

 

[Jeremy Davis]

Gambit

::He laughed softly to himself seeing Colossus walk out into the middleof the road and start to create a diversion. He grabbed Magik's hand and lead the way.::

Follow me everyone, I know the way...

::He guided them through two alleys and they were at the warehouse Peter spoke of. He detonated a locked back door and got them within and too the Xjet.::

 

[chewbacca71]

Jean Grey

Jean spoke up with the information that Iron Man was looking for. "Muir Island is a facility run by Professor X and Moira that has been where sick mutants or mutants completely unable to control their powers are sent. When they have gained some level of competence, they come over here to Westchester. There is a mixed bag of talents on the island, most of which is possesed by children in little control of them. I know that if they have come under attack than the faculty is most likely to be fighting.

The faculty when I visited last was Banshee, Multiple man, and Monet though I would not be suprised if the students that were almost ready for Westchester were helping. Banshee has the power of his voice which allows him to fly and can cause vast destruction. Multiple man can do what his name implies, he can create several versions of himself that are all under his mental control. Monet is a power mutant, she has the ability to fly and has very strong invulnerability; but her main asset is her superhuman strength.

Their island is isolated near Ireland, a few miles off the coast. The island is mostly covered with the facility. The facility itself has a pretty elaborate defense system which is probably how they have been able to hold off the Sentinels so far. My biggest worry is that once the Sentinels get through the outer defenses, the young mutants will be mostly defenseless. The majority of them are under sedation to keep their powers in check. They would not even be able to defend themselves........"

 

[chewbacca71]

Muir Island

Banshee took a deep breath as he flew closer to the outer wall of the facility. Thank god Charles and Moira had the foresight to build this place like a castle, since it was the only thing stopping the Sentinels right now. He had been in the control room when the sensors beeped about an intruder incoming. Banshee scrambled Jamie Madrox, Multiple man and Monet to come with him to see what it was.

Using the security system, they were able to get a glimpse of the danger rocketing its way towards them. "SIX SENTINELS.......Lord have mercy.......ay Boyo, we are in trouble. " Banshee immediatly put battle plan alpha into effect. Jamie used his power to create 20 more copies of himself. Banshee was aware that the more copies he made, the tired he would get. But this was war and his best effort was needed. Jamie , and Jamie, and Jamie and 18 other Jamies went out to their positions. Most of them manned the laser cannons that were on the four corner turrets of the castle.

A few others went to get out the medical supplies that might be needed. A couple of others took their positions here in the control center to coordinate the effort. Banshee shook his head in bemusement. No matter how many times he saw Jamie do this, it always amazed him. Banshee took Monet by the hand and let her to the walls. "All right luv, you and I are the second line of defense. Jamie will do what he can with the lasers and such. We are to attack any Sentinels that are trying to destroy the defenses. We are probably not strong enough to take these all down ourselves. But we will do the best we can. We are the only help these children have. Lets go. "

The two friends vaulted up into the air. The first Sentinels arrived on the scene and were greeted with a barrage from the laser cannons. The lasers made a mess of the outside of one, scorching its sensors. Banshee and Monet watched as the Sentinel made a graceless arc to land in the water near the island. "Oh Boyo, let's see what we can do. Jamie has upped the stakes. " Banshee and Monet entered the battle side by side.

 

[chewbacca71]

Cannonball

Sam was pushing his power to the max to get to Wild Card as fast as possible. When he was at the spot that the professor mentioned , he was able to see a large pile of debris that had once been a Sentinel. Sam thought to himself, dayum there are a lot of these things around. I hope the metal could be recycled since they would be a whole big pile of scrap metal once the X-men and friends were done with them.

He was able to see part of Wild Card's body sticking out from under part of the Sentinel. Diving down towards that area, Sam trusted to his invulnerability to help him survive the collision. He struck the pile solidly, pushing the metal off of Wild Cards leg. Circling back, Sam landed next to Wild Card. He knelt down so that he could take a look at Wild Card's injuries. They seemed to be pretty severe, but if nothing else Sam could carry him while flying. "Wild Card, wake up. How are you feeling? "

 

[DarkTalon]

Wild card

Wild card layed in the road looking up to the sky He notice sentinals flying towords the mansion As he layd his legs crshed by the sentel he had defeted. Sudenly he smeld sulfer and gunpowder than herd Cannanball hit the rubage. Soon cannanball had removed all the rubage from his legs so he could start heelling. Wild card looked up at sam his eyes opaned

" well since my legs are stell helling you'll have to fly us to the mansion i shold be close to heeled by the time we get there."

 

[DarkTalon]

Beast

Beast Landed Aplaen he had had stashed away neerr muir Island he snuck in through a secret passage. He haked the securety lock of a staysais room.

"Come with me and i will help you get your revenge"

Soon back on his pain Beast sent out A signal as he flew it went stait to astroid M it was a vidio feed.

" Magnas Id like o join you i have some inffo you need to hear and some one els who would like to help you" as beast moved from vido few Prometius took his place.

 

[Morgoth]

Tony nodded. "All right. Sounds good. We need to get there fast. From what you tell me, the body count could be huge."

 

[msboy8]

Thing

Ben pushed the X-Jet to maximum speed. He was also keeping an eye on the radar to look for Sentinels. If there were none about he would fly staight in. Hopefully they would be in time.

 

[chewbacca71]

Magneto stared at Beast for a moment. "Other than the fact that you were clever enough to find your way here, why would I want one of Xavier's castoffs? Charles would never voluntarily let one of his students leave unless he sent them away. So what is the story? Nevermind, it is not important right now. Magneto reached out and pulled up Prometius' face.

"Aha, I wondered when I was going to get a chance to meet you. When I had heard Charles had a son, I wanted to meet him. Especially when I heard that he had tendencies similar to my own. I welcome you to the fold of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Of course we may soon be the only mutants left alive on the planet . "

Looking back at Beast he spoke to him. "All right McCoy what do you have to say? What brought you here to finally realize that this is the way mutants are supposed to behave? "

 

[chewbacca71]

Colonel Stryker

Stryker watched as the lead sentinel's barrage of missiles hit its mark. The large tower than dominated the north section of the lawn was blown to bits upon the impact. Pieces of wood and metal shrapnel flew through the air, landing on the pristine lawn. Styker laughed as the destruction had just begun.

He directed the other sentinels to attack the other corners of the mansion. He wanted to start at the ends and have them meet in the middle. The sentinels were methodical in their destruction. The smell of jet fuel pervaded the air as the robots made multiple passes to raze the whole structure to the ground. When the last wing of the building was hit, a vast explosion blasted the helicopter. The resulting air wash pushed the chopper back to the edge of the phasing field.

The field shut down as the air was littered with large pieces of lumber as the exploded mansion settled back to the ground from where it had come. Styker fought to regain control of the helicopter eventually bringing it under control. He turned the machine back, looking at the sheer immensity of the destruction. Nothing over eight feet in height was visible. The wreckage was complete.

Stryker cursed as he realized that the Sentinels must have blown a fuel dump inside the building . That last explosion had caused the whole structure to collapse on itself. A mound of rubble several feet thick covered the foundation. It would take days to sift through the mess looking for bodies. But Stryker knew that no one could have survived that destruction.

 

[chewbacca71]

Xavier

Charles winced as he could feel the mental pain of Cyclops. He realized what must have happened. He sent out a mental summons to his students that were at the mansion. *Immediate execution plan Zeta......I repeat plan Zeta......* Xavier prayed that his students were able to follow through on a plan that he had drilled them on multiple times.

He sent out a final message to the teams that were out trying to save mutantkind. *My friends and students.... It seems that the sentinels have been able to get through to the mansion. I have always done my best to help mutants and humans to live together. It seems that it is no longer possible for me. I pray that you all make it through this safely. God speed..........* The message was interrupted as another hit made Charles world go black.....

 

[kamalw1]

Wolverine felt the familiar weird sense of displacement as Magik teleported them from the warehouse to the X-Jet. He told everyone to strap in as he headed to the pilot's chair. He started up the engines and started down the pre-flight checklist. As everything was warming up, he got on the comm unit to Peter. "Collossus, how are things going over there? We are a couple of minutes from take-off so you are going to have to keep it up for a little longer."

 

[chewbacca71]

Colossus

Peter watched as the rest of the team left. He saw that the street was cleared of possible causualties. He made one last look to make sure that Magik had gotten away before he turned to......

The concussive blast hit him full force it the back. It drove his body into the delivery truck that had been across the street. Pushing out with his arms, he was able to put his feet back on the ground. He quickly turned towards the Sentinel. He was able to dodge the next blast from the Sentinel. Ducking down, he grasped the frame of the truck. Holding it above his head, he threw it at the Sentinel.

Peter could hear Logan trying to talk to him over the comm unit. "Sorry Logan , I am kind of busy right now. Let me call you back. " Peter stood back to see his handiwork.

It struck the Sentinel full in the chest, the force knocking it out of the air. Peter tried to get to the Sentinel before it could get back up, but he was too late. A screeching missile hit him full in the chest, knocking him over backwards. Shaking away the cobwebs Peter sit up as the Sentinel reached down with its immense hand to crush Peter into the blacktop.

Peter moved just enough to the side to slide out of the way. The hand impacted hard with the ground, a metallic ringing that could be heard for miles. Peter grabbed onto the arm and started to punch small holes in the metal robot to serve as handholds. He was able to reach the head before the robot was able to leave the ground. Taking a mighty swing, Peter hit it full in the side of the head.

The metal the Sentinels was made of was tough, but his organic steel backed by mutant muscle was tougher. The Sentinels head was knocked to the side, a barrage of sparks coming out of the exposed wires. A garbled electric shriek escaped the Sentinel as it started to launch into the air. Peter's grip slipped on the hydraulic fluid leaking from the head of the Sentinel. He slid down to the ground, his body rocked by the smoke of the Sentinels boot jet as it took off. Peter spoke into the comm unit. "Ok guys, it is hurt and is taking off. Have Magik come get me and when you have tracked it, use the comm . Magik and I will teleport back to the X-Jet. "

 

[kamalw1]

The message from Colossus came in as Wolverine ignited the vertical jets and lifted the X-Jet into the air. When the plane reached 500 feet in the air, the jets swiveled to the horizontal position and they started their flight. They picked up the Sentinel on radar, but didn't need to because they saw it trailing smoke out the front windshield. "Okay, Magik, go pick up Colossus and we will contact you when we finish tracking the Sentinel." Magik left the jet as they continued flying through the air.

After flying for a few minutes, they saw the Sentinel slow down and then start to land in a clearing in the swamp. They marked the position on the ship's computers and then found another place to put down the X-Jet. When they landed safely, they told Magik to teleport to the X-Jet, and then they would walk to where they last saw the Sentinel.

 

[chewbacca71]

Colonel Stryker

Stryker sent orders to three of the Sentinels to return to base for rearming. He wanted at least one Sentinel to stay on site to kill any stray mutants that might come to see what happened to Xavier. He turned his helicopter away from the mansion and headed south. He had a date with a certain Leader of the free world to gloat about his good work. As he flew away from the site, visions of ultimate power ran through his head.

 

[Arc da Rat]

Jubilee

Wraith’s Castle, Demi-plane of Shadows

Arms wrapped around her shoulders, as Jub looked out onto the landscape. Wraith rested his chin on top of her head, while holding her close as possible with the backpack still squished between them. "Jube, you don't know what is going down right now. The government has declared war on us. Mutant, Meta-human, it does not matter. If you are not a pureblood Homo Sapiens they are executing you on sight. I need the power of this blade, and I control it. We have an understanding. Please, let us go back to the Professor, so he can fill us in on what is going on right now. Our friends need us."

Then he let her go to step in front of her. “What if its not the government? Did that thing look like a Fed issue items to you?” Jub looks up, their eyes lock, just like the first time she saw him. ::Yowza ... Stop the press, Deja Vu. But ... Damn, doesn’t he look yummie!:: Jub thought, as the armor just peeled away from Wraith’s face. Showing the Kyle within, his blond hair framing his face in a messed sort of way, with glowing lavender eyes.

“One last thing ... no matter what happens, no matter how bad things get ... I still do & always will love you, my light flower.” With that Kyle bent down to hold her face in his cool hands & kissed Jub for the first time in over a year. That one kiss conveyed all the things he left unsaid. All that was left behind, when his lips left hers was the love he felt in his heart. “Now, my heart, shall we go?”

Her answer to that was to give him back a passionate kiss of her own. As Jub deepened the kiss, she wrapped her arms around his neck. One hand sank into those golden locks & the other grasp the hilt of Dirge. The sword sprung to life, trying to enforce its will on her body. ::NOOOOO!!! You listen to me ya big hunk of metal, if you fail to keep Wraith’s hide alive. So help me, I’m gonna ...::

Suddenly a wall of power slammed between them shoving her mentally back into her body. At the same time, Kyle grabbed both of her arms breaking both the physical hold Jub had on his hair & sword. Plus the heat-searing kiss she was giving him. Raising her up to eye level, “Don’t do that again.” He said in a low tone that conveyed his anger.

Still reeling from the force of wills, Jub knew she crossed the line & majorly pissed Kyle off. ::Awww ~ shit, I just got on his bad side.:: She wrapped her legs around his waist to relieve the stress on her wrist. “I’m sorry. Please my lord Wraith, let’s go home.”

 

[Abraxas Winterlight]

Wraith

I stood looking her in the eye. Rage still flooded my veins, but slowly it was subsiding and the sensations of her body next to mine were winning over the anger. A crack of thunder boomed overhead, and I noticed storm clouds forming over the area. I really had gotten pissed that time!
I shifted completely out of my armored form. Dressed in only jeans(that was the last thing I was wearing when I last shifted into my armored form) I noticed her body a helluva lot more than I had, but with the armor gone my emotions didn't affect the environment as much. The rain broke then, immediately drenching both of us as lightning flashed around the tower. I looked into Jubes eyes, and saw that she was still frightened, but then she just melted into me, her arms going around me and her face nuzzling my neck.
"What am I going to do with you?" I whispered to myself, though I was sure she heard me.
I concentrated and the shadows leaped to my command. Darkness surrounded us, and I focused my will to transport us to the foyer of the mansion. At least thats what I tried to do. What I achieved was a feeling of leaving, then bounding back to the tower.
That was decidingly strange.
Once again I tried shifting, this time to our quarters, and once again we rebounded back to the tower.
OK, somethings wrong. This time I shifted us to the gatehouse. Shadows enveloped us, and then we were deposited beside the gate, and immediately smelled smoke and heard the crackle of fire. Then I heard something that made my blood run cold
***Mutants detected. Prepare for termination*** a metallic voice sounded behind us.
I immediately shifted to my armored form, then dropping a darkness field down I leapt into the air, my wing exploding from my back with a crack of displaced air. Looking back I saw the remains of our home, and one of the monsters that had destroyed it. Scorch marks were covering the sentinels face, and i knew that Jube had gotten her hit in before I turned out the lights.
The sentinel was randomly firing at the gatehouse when I dropped down behind it. Letting Jube slide out of my arms, I motioned for her to move a bit away from me, then I dropped the darkness and launched myself at the beast, landing on it's back and slamming my clawed hand through its armor and into it's chest cavity.Sparks flew out of it's mouth as i grabbed components and wire, and ripped what guts I could out of it. Explosions rained down on it's legs as Jubilee unleashed a plasma storm on it, her fear and anger giving her fireworks more power than she normally could. The behemoth screamed as I focused and fired off blast of force inside it, and soon a black bolt exploded out of it's chest as I breached its internal armor. Staggering drunkenly, it finally fell face-down on the lawn, smoking and sputtering, but not moving.
Jube moved up beside me, breathing heavily with a slightly wild look in her eyes. I pulled her into me and wrapped her in my wings, holding her against me for a moment. Both of us were still stunned by what had happened. Our home was no more, and quite possibly most of our family as well.
"we need to go my love. This thing would have sent out a distress call, and more will be coming. Lets go to Muir Island. Moria may know whats going on."
Closing my eyes I reached out to Shadow, and it answered. We travel via the dark road until we landed in the courtyard. Immediately we noticed the sound of cannon fire and the wail of Banshee, then shredding metal.
Crap. She definitely wouldn't let me live this one down!
"Get inside, I'll help Sean."
I took to the air, heading off to face the monsters that were attacking what was left of my friends.

 

[chewbacca71]

Magma

Magma was about to sit down in her seat when she noticed a small black box on the instument panel of the jet. She wondered if it was something that Peter had been working on. She knew that he tried to tinker with things as part of his training as a pilot. She took it back to her seat. Stripping back the cover, she looked at all the wires soldered onto the motherboard. She was pretty sure that if this was from the plane, it was pretty important. She made a mental note to show it to Logan as soon as they landed the plane.

 

[chewbacca71]

Iceman

Bobby stared out the porthole window on the side of the X-Jet. He could see contrails left from the bootjets of the Sentinels. Their white-grey smoke left a waffle pattern in the sky. Bobby thought that this must mean a ton of Sentinels. The jet was rocked as a stray laser struck one of the wings. Thing was luckily able to get the plane level again before they spun out of control.

The setting sun cast a reddish tinge onto the metal of the robots dead ahead. Bobby watched as Banshee and Monet tag teamed a robot. One side of the robot was dented in pretty well, but Monet had been struck a solid blow and was flying past the plane at a high rate of speed. Bobby turned to Iron Man....."Boss man, what do you want us to do? "
