Fight Night

[scarletwitch]

Wanda laughed at Amara's actions "I think all you had to do was ask its not hard to change fabrics we can have you running around naked. Your boy friend will never get any Thing done." she liked this one she was not shy. Wanda snapped her fingers and nothing happened damn this cold she did it again and the Amara changed again this time in to some thing more like what she said she was sue to.

"Emma, I thought you would like it shows off your best parts."

She looked at the others winking to Emma as she walked passed it was harsh but if max was right the kid would get others or her self killed. Wanda was tempted to just bend the reality and send her back to the school with no recollection of what happened as if she never got on the plane.

Remy LeBeau was leaning against the wall with his legs crossed in front of him. The distinct sound of cards being shuffled was audible in the otherwise quiet room created by the cards masterfully dancing through the air, taking refuge in one hand only to bounce back to the other. Cable had warned him over the intercom that he would have some guests at this location. Remy was the perfect man to surprise a group that is under the guidance of a telepath. The remnants of his kinetic energy created a static interference which prevented almost all telepathic communications and detection. His natural intensified the difficulty for any telepathic communication making it much easier to rely on the intercom for communication.

Gambit was sharing the wall that supported his weight with the only door into the room. He continued his persistent shuffling as the door creaked open an arm’s length away from his position. Those burning red eyes rose from the cards to the beauty who stood before him. He was certainly not expecting a gorgeous woman to be part of this strike force he had been hired to “slow down”. The money that he was offered was enticing enough, but combined with his mysterious benefactors promise of fun and now a green haired beauty? This was becoming more enjoyable by the minute.

“Bienvenue, Madamoiselle. Homme say I would have company but never mentioned ze guest would be so beautiful.” Gambit had removed his weight from the supporting wall as he began his introduction, which was filled with a thick Cajun accent. Always interested in a dramatic entrance, Gambit continued his soliloquy as he was closing the door. “You bring a friend? Look like Mardi Gras come early.” By this point the door was shut behind Lorna and the handle began to emanate a violet aura. Tendrils of energy danced from Remy’s fingertips to the doorknob which flickered with the power of the unlocked kinetic energy.

Remy spoke in a reassuring voice as if justifying closing the door. It was all part of his little game. “One man, one woman… Only natural, no? Alas… I don’t believe your friend will stay outside forever. If itza party… then cue za fireworks.” Synchronized with his statement, the door exploded outwards, being ripped off of the hinges which held it. The door was propelled away by the explosion creating a cloud of shrapnel and splinters which projected outward. “Allow me to introduce myself. Names Gambit and I shall be your entertainment.”

[domino]

((Someone call for another bad guy? It's me Amara, NPCing Domino for the time being. and i'm probably going to do up an app for her after all is said and done.))

Domino walked through the halls that lead to the top of the building, where they had a helicopter pad. She was informed to “try and stop them”, not kill, no, no, no, no! She was under strict orders not to kill anyone. Do you know how hard that is for someone with my nature? She took the job mainly for the money. The other mutants weren’t bad to look at either, like that Gambit. She grinned wickedly. She didn’t ask questions when she took the job from Cable, honestly she didn’t really care. She just wanted to shoot shit up. And so far she wasn’t getting to do much of that. She was itching for something to do. And thank the lord it waltzed in on a jet engine. She grinned that wicked smile again and pulled on her leather gloves, the ones that exposed half her digits to the world. She put on her sun glasses next, “Okay then let’s do this.”

She grabbed one of the many guns she had on her. It was just a hand gun she had slightly modified. But it felt like a piece of her, almost like her power sometimes felt. She shoved the door open. It was quite a sight to see, a giant black jet in front of her. She paused, expecting something to happen. Nothing. Well shit. She checked the ammo on the gun. Not a bullet was missing. She sighed to herself, “Fine, guess I have to get your attention the hard way,” she had raised the gun in mid sentence. She took a shot at the front window of the jet. She figured it wouldn’t shatter and she was right. Not a scratch from what she could tell of it. She paused. Still nothing. “I’m not your damn welcoming committee.” She grumbled to herself. She aimed and took another shot. She walked around towards the front of the plane trying to see if she could do something else to it. “Fucking a, get out here already.” She was starting to get bored. Just when she thought about taking another shot something on the jet opened up. She lowered her glasses to take a better look, “Well it’s about fucking time,” she grinned wickedly shoving her glasses back in place, “I was starting to think that the x-men were a bunch of chicken shit.”

[tigrawill]

((Sorry Warren but we need to crack on))

Emma returned a smile to Wanda as she unbuckled her seat belt but it was entirely fictitious. Emma wasn’t happy. Everything felt strange to her and she wasn’t sure what to expect. She heard the door explode from the plane, it had been a trap after all, oh well Lorna and Warren would have to take care of themselves. Reacting by instinct to the sound of a gunshot Emma shifted into her diamond form, revealing just how uneasy the whole thing made her feel. Taking one last glance around the jet through the fresh eyes of diamonds nothing had changed, they were still a group of freshly bonded, largely inexperienced mutants, they were being played.

As the hatch opened up beneath them Emma shot a final glance at Scott, he was the most battle hardened, the most experienced, the leader. The orders would have to come from him, all Emma knew is there was someone out there shooting at them and no matter how strong they were, not all the x-men were bullet proof. Throwing her arms up and taking a step forward Emma aimed to take as many bullets as possible despite her relatively small frame. “What’s the plan here Scott?” Emma called back over her shoulder.

[lorna]

OOC: Okay, I hate OOC notes in threads but this one is necessary. The group of Remy, Lorna and Warren have branched off into their own thread. At this time, whatever happens there remains separate from this group. If that changes, I'll do crossover posting in here. Also, the door to the jet did not blow up, it was a door on the building that is away from the jet. All that's happened to the jet is Domino has tried shooting it. Also, this needs to move faster. Each player has 24 hours from the previous player's post to make a post or they will be skipped. Sorry to be harsh but I don't want it dragging out.

The new posting order for this thread is: Max, Wanda, Emma, Domino, Amara, Scott, Cable

[amara]

Amara was slightly irked at Wanda for insisting on a uniform but then she thought about how the outfit fit her. She figured it would probably work better for her than nothing at all. She instantly pulled back her powers, they were getting nowhere fast. She glanced at her new outfit, maybe it’s not half as bad as I initially thought, it does accentuate my curves rather nicely. It looked and felt almost painted onto her skin.

When Amara heard Scott talk to max she was getting ready to round on him. She was not in any state of mind to have someone threaten her boyfriend. And with Sabertooth? She had turned around, violent words ready to go when she spotted something hitting the window. She hurried to the front of the jet, pushing past the others. She had no idea if they had seen what she had seen. Amara’s eyes glanced out of one of the jet’s windows. A woman with short blonde hair and dark sunglasses was pointing a gun at the plane. The sight triggered something inside Amara. Another bullet hit the glass. She made it to the front of the plane in no time and she hit the button that opened the hatch in less than a second. She quickly shoved her way back to the back of the jet. On the way she managed to say, “Fuck this, we’re sitting ducks if we don’t do something,” she paused right before the back met the front of the jet. “I’ll stall the girl outside you guys take Max and have him show you where the professor is. It’s a little too late for talking. We can’t just whine and bicker, it’s time to stand up and fight for shit’s sake!” She looked up to see Emma Frost leave the plane. She shook her head and when she was out of everyone else’s way she ran.

Amara hit the ground, powers fully restored and anger heated up to the point where she left it, running. She clenched and unclenched her fists, relishing in the feel of her powers. She walked over to Emma, her voice sounded altered under the fire on her skin, “I think I might be able to take her, I don’t think I’m much help to the others when it comes to finding and retrieving Professor X.” She grinned toothily under her mask of fire and lava. She quickly walked forward getting within 12 feet of the blonde. She easily made a wall of fire 5 feet high around them. It was instantaneous, as an afterthought she added lava to the mix. Raised her hands up to Domino, “Give me all you got.” She sent two blasts of magma from her arms, aiming for the woman’s feet.

[cyclops]

Scott didn't really give a crap what Amara was going to say when she had turned to speak to him, after all it had been her boyfriend which had lead them into this situation, instead of assessing it like they would have a normal mission they had allowed themselves to be swayed by the information that he had, Scott hadn’t liked this idea from the beginning but he had gone with it, Charles was far too important to let any time be spent doing something else no matter how important the other things may have been on their own, they had to get Charles back

However Scott was surprised by the fact that people seemed to think it was just ok that they seemed to consider themselves their own team leader as Amara decided to take off to go and fight this mysterious new woman on her own,” I don’t know Emma.” He said looking around before looking back at Max, “how about you smart guy any other bright ideas that may get us killed?”

[cable]

Cable watched on all the monitors images flickered he watched "X - force don't kill any one i need them alive." he crossed his arms he needed to take out Wanda. He fought the urge to just blow her head off. "wade your up take max out then go after Frost. Remember every one Leave Cyclops for me." He sent his mind out reaching for Wanda he started to stimulate the part of the brain that would put her in to a comma.

((ooc I going to NPC DEADPOOL)))

Wade stood on the roof and smiled. This was going to be fun he watched as his team mates started to shoot of he liked her she seamed fun and was good looking. With a puff of smoke he vamished. He apeared above Max.

"HERRES Deadpool." he threw a bunch of flashbangs and grabed maxs and the two of them vanished. HE teleported the two of them three miles away in to teh middle of the sea. kicked away from the boy and vanished again. A few moments later he stood in front of Emma Frost.

"wow i love your out fit whats the matter the budget for Uniforms run out half way threw? You could come back to mine and we can see if it looks as good on the floor as it dose on you?"
HE smiled as he pulled out two swords. "hey one eye the boss is up in the tower waiting for you. Any chance of an application form once this is done?"

[max]

Max had about enough of the one eyed man and was tempted to punch him in the face but that would not get him any were. He did not go to ground like the others. He glared at the man. "look i not had any of training." his head snapped down to one side as a bullet hut him in the temple. he pulled it out of his hair. It was a strange sensation being shot like that. "Amara do...."

Before he had a change to finished he was blinded for a second but thats it took he was in the water some were he could just make out the island in the distance well it looked like he was swimming

((ooc this should speed it up you don't need to wait for max to post as all he will be doing is swimming three miles.)))

[scarletwitch]

Wanda's hands were covered red orbs as shields went up around her the bullets hitting of them. Her mind raced trying to find the right spell for what she needed. She felt strange for a second her head started to spin as she lost focus the shields went down and she could feel some thing in her head. her hands raced up to her head. her head spinning as she fell to her knees.

She let out a scream of pain some one was attacking her mind she had to stop them and that was taking all her energy and power not to pass out. she could not see every thing was spinning and the whistling was deafening. she fell to her knees in an attempt to keep her balance.

[tigrawill]

As Magma went to face Domino on her own Emma made the mistake of relaxing slightly. Amara had enough powers up her sleeves to deal with one rogue gunslinger, but Emma knew nothing of Domino’s powers, she should have paid better attention to their fight and that was something she might go on to regret. Like it or not however Emma had other things to worry about right now, Amara would have to fight on her own.

Emma stood in shock as the team was so rapidly picked apart. First Max had been teleported away to god knows where then Wanda fell to the ground clutching her head, a typical sign of telepathic assault. Let alone the masked teleporter that had reappeared right in front of Emma. Emma wanted to help her friend from the psychic assault but when staring a pair of swords in the face one had to prioritise. Well in the absence of any direct orders she would just have to improvise as best she could. “My dear boy trust me when I say you couldn’t handle a woman like me in the bedroom.” Curling her fist into a ball she lashed out attempting to knock her assailant off balance, taking only a fraction of a moment to shift into her real form and erect a few psychic barriers around Wanda, they wouldn’t stop the assault but they may provide a temporary respite. Then without a second to spare she shifted once again into her diamond form, she couldn’t fight a battle on two fronts, it was either Cable or Deadpool, and Deadpool’s danger was far more imminent.

[jean]

From Polaris' mind to Scarlet's Witch's

As Jean's mind left Lorna's, she really hoped that the girl would be okay against the man. Ironically, she didn't really sense that the green haired woman was in any danger with her opponent and only hoped she didn't allow something to happen to herself that she would be furious with later. Lorna was generally a very sweet and caring person but she could be downright frightful when crossed. Her powers had the ability to be on par with Magneto and that wasn't to be taken lightly by anyone.

She briefly brushed Scott's mind, hoping to reassure him and let him know that she was there. I'm going to help Wanda. Cable's attacking her mentally and she doesn't have the shields to stop him. He's waiting for you, for some reason, she informed her husband.

Moving from there, she latched mind onto Wanda, giving her the step up she needed to help prevent Cable from really harming her. She wasn't near at her peak performance given the distance even with the help of Cerebro and Cable's fortress was nearly impenetrable by mental means. Erecting the sort of shields that Wanda would need to stave off the attack, she spoke to the other woman.

I'm going to do my best to protect your mind but you're going to have to help me. At this distance, Cable is much stronger then I am but between the two of us, we can keep him out of your head for a time, she informed her.

Emma had helped, just enough, to hopefully prevent Wanda from falling into the coma that Cable was attempting to put her in.

[domino]

A woman who looked almost like she was made of glass walked out of the plane. She assessed the situation in her head. She whispered to herself, “Ah nah, I want someone who’ll give me a fair fight.” She tapped into her abilities willing her probability to swing things her way. And just like that a new mutant stepped onto the scene, someone who seemed like they couldn’t quite handle a bullet. She grinned, that’s better. Domino eased another gun from one of the many hiding places on her person, it was an exact replica of the one in her hand. She hadn’t brought any other gun up to the roof. With her “luck” she wouldn’t need anything else. And besides she wasn’t allowed to kill anyone, so there went half of her arsenal already.

The red haired woman, and Domino meant red- it was the color of a lobster, had spontaneously combusted. There’s more than just fire on her, Domino smirked and looked her up and down while she moved closer to Domino. A ring of fire surrounded them instantaneously. A broad toothy grin stretched across her face, “That’s more like it,” she squared her shoulders. She fired a test shot, something that wasn’t going to hit her but still get really close to her. She didn’t want to tap into her powers just yet. Where was the fun if she was just going to win anyways? The bullet sliced through the air, when it reached her it was caught by a tendril of magma coming off of her body. It melted to the ground. She assessed the situation in her head, noting how the fire and lava seemed to billow out and then recede like waves. She smiled wickedly, “The names Domino, hope I don’t fuck you up too much.”

[amara]

The woman looked normal enough, slightly unthreatening. She didn’t know if this was going to be a long fight or if it would end soon so she could help Emma out. She didn’t move when the other woman shot at her. Actually, it was such a fast movement she hadn’t caught sight of it until she saw it melt next to her. Shit this might be tougher than I thought. But Magma was determined. She extended the magma from her arms to form twin whips with them. It was trick she had just recently learned. The other woman introduced herself. Magma chuckled sarcastically, “Magma, and I wouldn’t worry about myself.” She cracked one of the whips on the ground and then shot it out towards Domino. It hit a part of her leather jacket, singeing it and creating a hole. Magma could already tell that it was going to be a kind of dance between the two of them.

Another hum sliced through the air, and with it a stabbing pain hit her upper left thigh. She looked down to see a small cut form on it. She looked back up at Domino, slight confusion on her face.

[cyclops]

Scott was still thinking when Deadpool appeared, if it wasn’t for the fact that he appeared in front of Emma Scott would have blasted him across the room already, however at the same time he had to admit that Deadpool had been able to infiltrate the plane effectively. As he was addressed by the assassin he wasn’t sure what comment to reply with, whether to be stand offish or violent however it seemed like Emma wasn’t in the best mood with him either and figured that he would allow the capable blonde telepath to deal with Deadpool if Cable was so damn intent on meeting him.

<Thank you Jean,> he thought back to his wife as she explained what was happening to Wanda, at the same time he was beginning to wish that he had his wife here with him Jean was a lot more battle ready than at least half of the team and that was something that they where lacking right now.

“If he wants me so badly he can come get me himself.” Scott said his visor charging “and sadly the answer is no,” then he fired three optic blasts at deadpool.
