Previously on The New Crew

"Okay, everybody, in honor of our guest, we're training a bit differently."

"You think you guys could still beat us when we have you hopelessly outnumbered?"

"Why don't you guys just start preparing."

"Rules are no killing, or seriously injuring, everything else is fair game. Ready? GO!"

And with that, all hell broke loose.


(Jean's POV)

Immediately, I flew up above the crowd to get a better look at what we were facing. Sadly, I wasn't the only one with that idea.

Three Treetopers, all dressed in black flew right up right behind me. One f them was a girl, about fourteen, with a whip in her hand. She had bleach blond hair and eyes that were a light amber. I remembered her name was Genevieve, but it wasn't her I was worried about. Two boys, both about twelve years old, were coming up behind her, flanking her on each side. They were the twins, Jason and Mason. They both had brass knuckles on too. Yay.

One of the boys-because in all seriousness you can't tell which is which-punched over my head. I ducked and tried to retreat to the ground, but the other one grabbed me from behind. I slammed my head back, and rushed out of his grasp. I flew away only to be grabbed by the ankle and smashed into a tree. I looked up to find Gwen floating above me.

I lunged at her only to be intercepted by two twelve year old boys. They rammed me into a tree, and my vision started spinning. That last thing I saw before blacking out was the trio high-fiving before taking off into the air. 'We are totally screwed'

(Scott's POV)

We were getting trashed. None of them were actually using their powers, but it didn't matter. A few of them were playing snipper, and were hiding in the trees shooting arrows, knives, and ninja stars at people. Three kids were in the air diving down and taking out people with what looked like silver boxing gloves and rope. In all honesty there were only ten of them fighting on the ground. And half of them weren't even in high school yet. I myself was dodging arrows and ninja stars.

"Scott!" I turned to see Kurt flash behind me. "What is it? I'm a bit busy!" I said as I shot a laser at another knife. "No one is guarding the flag and some of them are missing!" Oh. "Okay get a group and we'll flash on their side of the field."

Ten minutes later, Kurt, Kitty, Beserker, and I were hiding behind trees in their forest. I turned to them and fed them the game plan. They looked pretty happy about it. "They are going down." Kitty said as she phased through the ground and put the plan into action.

(Scarlett's POV)

I was bored. Matt, Shane, Summer, and Wendy went to go find their flag while I was stuck guarding ours. I was about to just sit down and play on Matt's phone when I heard something rustle in the bush. Then something-someone-rushed passed a tree and there was a distinct smell of smoke.

I unsheathed my twin dual blades and put my back to the tree our flag was hidden in- We aren't called Treetopers for nothing. I blew my bangs to cover both my eye instead of just one, and crouched down.

"AHHHHHH!" I turned to see the kid from earlier who threw the frisbee at my head rushing at me with electricity cackling around him.

I dove to the side, but flipped back as a laser hit the spot I was just on. I looked up to see Kitty and Scott run into the little clearing. Now I was getting worried. Electric Boy shot an arch at me, but I blocked it with my swords, and made a slice at Scott, forcing him back. I moved to kick Kitty, but it went right though her. Suddenly I smelled smoke again, and arms grabbed around my waist, lifting me into the air. I threw my head backwards, colliding it with my attacker, before swiftly turning around and punching their face. Kitty phased though the tree next to me,arm pulled back to punch, but I was ready for her. I grabbed her fist, and kicked her side. She flew into a tree, and fell down.

Beserker came at me with Scott by his side. I flipped over their heads and sliced through the air. When I faced them again. They both had large cuts on the sides of their suits. Sadly, my moment didn't last much longer. Kitty, still very much awake, and Kurt ran at me. Kurt used his tail to grab my hands while Kitty socked my in the jaw. My head moved with her punch, and then I felt electricity course through me.

Hands grabbing me. "Come on, girl!"

A cell with empty chains on the wall

Electricity. Pain. Someone please help.

Screams and more pain.

I snapped out of my flashback, breath ragged, but not from the fight. I twisted out of Kurt's tail, and kicked him in the side of the head. Hard. He went down needless to say. Kitty and Beserker came at me, but I dodged, too high on adrenaline. I grabbed Beserker's arm and thew him into Scott, who was coming up to attack my back. Kitty turned to run away, but I flipped onto her shoulder, doing a handstand, before chucking her into the nearest tree.

This fight was done, and I was not having anymore of it. I ran to the main field where everyone was finishing taking down the Instituters. A flat white transparent disk appeared under me and rose above the playing field. Eyes glowing white, I clapped my hands together as loud as possible. Multiple white, transparent spheres, with what looked like sparks of color, started grabbing kids. My team just ran to the our side, knowing exactly what was happening. Institute kids were trapped in bubbles of light and color. Each time a bubble collided with another it would merge, throwing one kid into another. Some bubbles smashed into trees, and stuck the kid there with what looked like giant bubble gum.

Spheres were flying everywhere, even grabbing kids who were unconscious up until then. It was chaos, but I couldn't stop it. I sat on the disk and brought my knees to my chest and hands over my ears. I could still hear the screams and sounds of electricity ringing in my ear, merging with the screams of the kids trapped in the high speed bubbles.

It was too much. I screamed, clutching my hair as more flashes passed.

An operating table with tools laid out

A long hallway

A man with an ugly scar under his eye, sneering at me

"You pathetic, girl!"

Worthless!

Idiotic!

Ungrateful!

Scars all over my back

Matt holding me in his arms, clothes stained with my blood

Screams

A boy with blond hair, and the greenest eyes, smiling me, right before a dagger stuck out through his chest

"SCARLETT!"

I looked up to see Matt shaking my shoulders, eyes wide and frantic. "Scarlett, it's not real! Calm down. I'm here. You're here. We're safe." He said as he wrapped me in a hug. I clutched on to him and calmed down at his words. Never 'We're going to be alright' not 'It's going to be okay'. Just us being safe. No lies, no false hope, just a fact. We're safe right now, right here. I calmed my breathing and looked around us.

A few kids were still flying, but most were stuck in awkward positions against random surfaces. The Treetopers were helping everyone get free. I closed my eyes and the bubbles were lowered, and popped. The sticky substances dissolved into the air, and Matt and I were lowered. Matt's arm still around my waist. He picked me up, bridle style, and hugged me closer. I sighed and drifted asleep. Nightmares and flashbacks kept at bay for now.


Okay, don't forget to tell me how you feel, and also tell me if you actually like how I did the disclaimer. I'm not used to doing that, but it was kinda fun.

Don't forget to review!
