x men

[dragonrazor]

Cable shook his head, then moved over to where the controls were, seeing Gambit moving over to the back of the plane, and sat down. He switched the controls to the copilot seat and took over flying the plane. The others kept getting distracted, and that could be bad. They still had no idea where Eva was, and Storm would need as many Xmen on hand as possible.

 

[Shaq]

OOC: wrong thread

 

[Vixandra]

Rogue

I raised an eyebrow at Cable's taking away of the controls and rolled my eyes. "Well, if you insist on flying, go ahead."

Rising from my seat, I moved over to the weapons control seat, starting the sweep system to look around. If Cable was that edgy and taking evasive actions, then Eva must be on our tail again and about to say hi. Painfully.

Bringing the system online, I searched for a difference in air component make up. Eva's scanners could fool my radars and visuals but not the chromographs.

 

[Shaq]

Fantomex

Piloting Eva near where the jet and Storm were huddled Fantomex swiftly drove Eva spinning erratically down to the ground, hoping the erratic pattern would prevent any offensive fire the jet may possess.

Slowing before it reached the ground Fantomex dropped out of his partner and stepped onto the ground as Eva again began to rise into the air erratically.

Walking out into the open, on the ground in the distance away, he appeared to give the X-Men a friendly wave that one gives when greeting.

"Eva, accept Fatale on board. Give her a clear visual and wait for my mark." he thinks while continuing to wave.

 

[Vixandra]

Rogue

A few flipped buttons and I had the system I wanted.

"Targeting missle systems," the computer chriped at me. "Select target."

Using a specialized harp-looking device, I targeted on Fantomex and grinned when I got the lock signal.

"Cable, use the broadcast system to tell Eva if she doesn't back off I'm going to barbeque her friend."

 

[Jeremy Davis]

::He followed Cable up to the front of the jet and stood behind Rogue's seat as she worked on the weapons of the jet. When he heard the weapons arm and lock on their target, he looked out at Fantomex and studied him.::

So dis is the Fantomex character that has caused all of dis?

::He looked over at Cable and smiled.::

Perhaps we should land de jet and give our friend a proper greeting?

 

[dragonrazor]

Cable raised an eyebrow, then turned on the transmitter. "Miss Eva, Rogue says that if you don't back off, she's going to fry your friend on the ground. I don't know what there is on this plane, but she's not in a good mood." He looked at the others, wondering what they all thought of this. It wasn't a good thing, that was certain.

He turned to Gambit, and grinned. The Cajun had a sort of confidence, something Wizard lacked. That's probably why Rogue preferred him.

"Tempting, but then we'd be a target for Eva. We still can't actually see her."

 

[Shaq]

Fantomex

"I heard." Fantomex thought to his partner on the ground.

"Back off Eva. I will watch Storm and give you the visual for Fatale."


Obeying Fantomex orders Eva began to enter into a spot just inside the X-Men's visual so they could see her and then she began to fly away in the direction of Dark Beast and the infected townspeople they left in the other area of the town.


As an apparent sign of peace, Fantomex sat on the ground indian style with his in his lap.

 

[Jeremy Davis]

::He looked at the radar and pointed down at a blip on the screen.::

Storm's here. I'm going to go get her aboard dis jet before something happens to her. Make sure you are buckled up.

::He ran the gloved covered fingers through Rogues hair affectionatly, then went into the back of the jet. He stopped and looked over the others on the jet and made sure that they were all buckled as what he planned on doing was going to cause a bit of a vaccume in the jet. Seeing everyone was buckled in, he walked to the back of the jet and looked around the rear door for something to secure himself to. using the seatbelts from the seats beside him, he wrapped it around his waist and fastened it so that he wouldn't get dragged out of the plane. He then opened the door and the air in the plane started to try to pull Gambit from within. He then waited for Storm to get close enough to grab~

 

[Shaq]

Fantomex

"I see them Eva. Fatale, you may escort the X-Men to the ground now, but remember the targets."


Aboard the jet

Fatale looked at the screen projected inside Eva that relayed Fantomex's visual. Using the information that Fantomex was able to see and transmit Fatale used Eva calculations of jet position and spatial depth and began to activate her power.

A pink flash of light began to appear just above the jet and Fatale dropped through the teleportation portal right above the part of the jet Gambit just opened for Storm.

 

[Jeremy Davis]

~Hearing a sound as if something landed on the jet, Gambit poked his head out and saw a woman surrounded in pink light croutching on the roof of the jet.~

I dont know who you are, Mon Ami, but I somehow doubt you are with this team which means you are against us.

~He reached in his coat and pulled a dart out from one of the holders. His eyes started to shine brightly and as their intensity grew, the energy started to spread out on each side of him until it jumped to the dart, the glow surrounding it.~

And if you are against us, den you dont belong on dis jet...

~he drew his arm back as he prepared to hurl the charged dart at the mysterious woman on the roof of the jet.~

 

[Shaq]

Fantomex

On the ground Fantomex began to call his friend telepathically.

"Rush them Eva, now!"


Above him in the air, Fatale had landed on the jet long enough for Gambit to see her. She heard the threat in his voice and began to make a teleportation portal behind her.

She looked at him with a grim smirk and stepped through the portal slowly.


At the back of the jet a pink light began to form.

Fatale stepped through the portal she made right behind the X-Men and looked at them menacingly.

Raising both of her hands she fired a concentrated beam of plasma directly at Psylocke.

 

[Jeremy Davis]

~Gambit watched as the Women entered a porthole and then reappeared in the back of the jet. He readjusted himself in the restraints and drew back the dart once more. His eyes focused on her as she drew in energy.~

Watch out!!

~He wasnt sure who she was aiming for so he just yelled at the whole team. He then started to throw the dart, however as soon as his arm came around the bend to throw the dart, EVA hit the jet making the jet as well as everyone else shake under the pressure of the collision. Gambit left the dart go intending to hit the female mutant, however his aim was off because of the collision and his dart instead of hitting Fatale hit the rear of the jet blwoing a hole in the back. The force of the blast knocked fatale onto the ground, then the suction of the air being pulled from within the jet pulled her out of the jet and hurled her towards the ground~

 

[Masume]

She felt the presence long before Gambit had spotted her. The threat Gambit spat at the invader gave more confirmation, the person was not welcomed and therefore had to be dealt with. Unbuckling her seatbelt and watching the strap zip up away from her body; she turned her head watching as a pink glowing light formed behind her. A portal?

Whoever this person was they wanted to play and she was more than happy to accept the invitation. Psylocke watched as the mystery woman threw a beam of plasma her way. Being the target she rolled quickly out of the way but her roll was disturbed when the plan began to violently shake. The beam missed her by a second but hadn’t failed in doing it’s damage to the plan. Flipping violet hair away from her eyes, she grabbed a close by chair, pulling herself up as the jet rocked her and the rest of the mutants on board. There was a sickening feeling in the pit of her stomach. If she was going to die right here, right now. She was going to go down swinging.

“Come on Bitch!” Her accent was even more prominent in her threat. A bright fuchsia glow engulfed a closed fist. Using as much of her balance as she possibly could she ran towards the woman. On wobbly legs, she took her first swing…and then she was gone. Psylocke’s eyes widened as the woman was sucked away from the open wound of the jet.

“Bloody…hell…” Her words were cut off as she felt herself being pulled away from the plan. The fuchsia around her wrist died as she clawed the floor of the jet in order to keep herself inside. Grabbing the leg of a chair, she held on for dear life, wind and small traces of debris making tears stream from her eyes. Shutting them, letting the fluids wash it away she looked to the rest of her team.

 

[Vixandra]

Rogue

Taking the warning as an attack from him, I launched a volly of missles at Fantomex.
When Eva hit us, I gave her a few too.

Mama taught me to share, ya know.

Parts of the plane exploded, some pink-misty bitch was popping in and out through portals and none of the missles I was firing were hitting anything.

"Any ideas here would be nice," I shouted over the scream of air as the cabin depressurized.

 

[Jeremy Davis]

:: He watched as the smoke cleared from his blast and realised that the miss created a gaping hole in the rear of the plane. It was then that he saw Betsy fall and get pulled toward to hole. He was the one that created the mess and noone could get out of their seats to help her.

Gambit unhooked his body from within the buckle, his arm wrapped around the seat for support, and restrapped himself so that it was around his ankle. Once he was secured he lept toward the hole hoping to grab Psylocke's hand and keep her aboard.::

Rogue, a little help here Chere? Let Cable drive de jet. If you get sucked out at least you can fly.

::He continued to attempt to fight the wind as he tried to reach Psylocke, his fingertips just barely missing hers.::

 

[Masume]

She could have been staring death in the face and he was laughing at her. Pointing at her, snickering with his pink tongue sticking out. She reached one hand up, missing his. He called out for Rogue. Why put another life in danger? She did not want to be responsible for that even if she didn’t make it. Realizing the logic behind his action. She could fly! Using all the strength she had left she reached up once again, grasping his wrist with her hand. Come on Betsy…pull yourself up!

If you need too, let me go. She wasn’t sure as her vision was a bit blurry and her thoughts were racing but hopefully everyone heard that.

 

[Jeremy Davis]

:: When he felt her hand finally grab his wrist, his fingers closed around her wrist and he moved his other hand to grab her as well. He held onto her for all that he was worth. After he knew that he had a good grip on her, he started to pull her towards him. The wind was whipping his trench coat all over the place and he had hoped to pull her up enough that she could grab it or some other part of his body to pull herself up and get herself back into the plane. Once again he looked out the hole in the plane and could see the ground rushing up toward them.~

Dis definatly is going ta be a bumpy landing....

::Suddenly he heard the strap holding him in the plane giving way as it ripped and a loud snap was heard before they were sucked out of the hole in the rear of the jet and were free falling toward the ground::

 

[Vixandra]

Rogue

I watched Gambit reach for her, fumbling with the seat belt around my waist.

The weight of Betsy grabbing his hand was too much and the pressure was going to pull them out of the plane!

"Stay together," I yelled to them as they slipped together.

The seatbelt finely released and I was gone, out of the plane in a flash of black and red. Kicking my flight abilities in, I soared out, hovered for a moment, looking for them.

Eyes, wide, I saw Gambit and Psylocke struggling to keep ahold of one another and shot down twoard them, grabbing both by the waist and struggling to slow thier descent and stay aloft myself.

 

[dragonrazor]

Cable managed to steady the plane, and had started the repair systems to repairing the hull. It was a bit choppy as the hole started to close, but he was doing fairly well. Wizard had been busy running some of the defensive mechanisms, and managed to get the bear deterrant up and running. One hundred fifty thousand volts running over the outside of the plane should give Eva quite the impression next time she hit. But that was when the jet began to run out of fuel, nosediving.

 

[Jeremy Davis]

::The wind had ripped them apart, but not far enough that with alittle manovering he could grab her. he pulled his arms in tight against him and shot out at Psylocke as she fell. As soon as his arms went around her, he felt arms hook beneath his arms. He looked up and saw that Rogue had come to the rescue and caught them both.::

Your timing couldnt have been any better, P'tite. Almost as good as one of my entrances. Its times like dis that I cant help but love you, Rogue.

~He tried to allow Rogue as much of his arms as she needed to hold him as he kept his arms wrapped around Psylocke. Soon they were all on the ground. Gambit watched the jet soar away, then looked around knowing that Fantomex and his aircraft was around somewhere.~

 

[Vixandra]

Rogue

I managed to touch down lightly, setting Gambit and Psylocke on their feet without hurting either of them.

Saucily, I smiled at Gambit. "Of course you love me, Gambit. You'd have to ta deal with me."

Looking around, we were in a lightly forested area, smoke flowing in on the winds, a good deal of it from the plane as she shot down. "Think Cable will be able to slide Wizard and Deadhand out okay?"

 

[dragonrazor]

Wizard had managed to get a bunch of stuff in his backpack, just as Cable grabbed him and Dead Hand, and everything around them simply vanished. He closed his eyes, and then opened them again to see the forest and a cabin. He realized this must have been Cable's destination to begin with.

---

Cable stood quietly, dropping Dead Hand and looking at the kid. He had gotten them out just in time, and had managed to also to reprogram one of the communication devices they had salvaged. He had scrambled the channels, and was using it to contact Rogue.

"We're at the destination. Follow the dirt road, it leads right up to the cabin. The tree cover should hide you fairly well."

 

[Ithica]

Lightning bolts; charred remains

After the explosion on the jet, Fatale was sucked out. Storm went after her but, before she could get her, Fatale created a portal and disappeared. That was when Storm noticed Fantomex sitting on the ground. Storm could hear Psylocke’s voice in her head say,

If you need to, let me go

She looked up and saw Gambit and Psylocke get sucked out of the plane. Rogue followed after and grabbed them. Since they were ok, Storm headed over to Fantomex’s direction with the full intent of seeing what he would look like charcoaled.

Maybe he will like getting electrocuted as much as I did.

Hold a second, she thought to herself. He isn't stupid enough just to sit there and play target. She turned back and landed where Rogue, Gambit, and Psylocke were.

"Hey, Swamp Rat."

And as the plane started to crash she asked Rogue,

"Where is Wizard and Deadhand."

 

[Shaq]

Fantomex

Sitting on the ground as the jet began to fall Fantomex watched intently like a boy in the movie theater.

"My kingdom for a medium popcorn with butter." He says quietly.

"You have no kingdom dear. And there are missles aimed at you." she says.

"And you" he replies.

"Her targeting was affected by the collision. The missiles will not hit me but she must have been able to lock onto you because my calculation-"

"I know. Here we come." Fantomex begins speaking to the woman next to him.

"I'm happy to "see" you are using your invisibility Fatale."

"I thought it was time the X-Men learned who they are up against." the woman said unable to be seen next to him.

"Are you hurt?"

"I'll live."

"Me too, but I'm feeling a desire to be greedy with that distinction."


Fatale stands in front of Fantomex and begins to bend light around hm making him suddenly disappear before Storm's eyes.

Then she concentrates and tries to dampen the energy signature of the purple light that follow her teleportation. Fantomex walks through and Fatale reaches her hand back at the last moment to bend the light her portal will leave behind.

A moment later they are aboard Eva and rapidly begin rising into the air.

Surveying the battlefield Fantomex looks to see who survived the jet crash so that he can begin his final assault.
