Remy seemed surprised at his group going so soon but he really didn't care. He just wanted to get this out of the way. Without a word, he walked out of the console room and walked down some stairs. He then walked through the door and he was in the danger room. He looked up to see Logan doing something to the console. Probably changing the terrain. Remy looked around as the room seemed to get bigger and tree's began to rise up from the ground. In seconds, they were in a thick green rainforest.
"A forest! Firestar has a fire form!" Bobby screamed up at Logan.
"Ya, but you have an ice form." Logan said back. Before they knew it, a horn sounded and they sprinted for cover.
"Alright Bobby, ice up and then I need you to keep da fires down. You control da fires and me and Kurt will take out Firestar and Kitty." Gambit ordered.
"No. Why should I listen to you? You put out the fires." Iceman said back.
"In case you haven't noticed, my cards explode wit' fire! Not ice!" Gambit screamed back. Before they knew it, the tree completely exploded. Iceman skated away to another tree for cover and Kurt teleported away. Remy sprinted for cover and dived just as a fireball blew up behind him were he was. He climbed the tree and onto the highest branch. He jumped to another tree just as that one exploded. He pulled out three cards and threw them at Firestar. He threw a fireball at the cards and they exploded there. Just then, Gambit heard something behind him. He turned around and saw Kitty. She grabbed Gambits hand and he phased through the branch he was on. He fell and crashed into a branch. That branch broke and he continued to fall. When he fell to the floor he came to the sight of Firestar flying over him. Firestar aimed his arms at Remy and fire came bursting out in Remy's direction. Before he knew it, Iceman jumped in front of him and gave a burst of ice at the fire. It obliterated the fire and put Firestar in a block of ice.
"That won't hold him. Move!" Iceman shouted at Remy. Remy got up and sprinted behind cover.
"Where da hell is Nightcrawler?" Remy shouted over all the roaring fire.
"Probably fighting Kitty! That's what he was doing when I last saw him!" Iceman shouted back.
"Look, you got to keep da fires under control! Otherwise, it won't be Firestar that does us in!" Remy shouted again.
"You can't take Firestar by yourself! You'll be gone in seconds!" Iceman shouted back.
"Why can't you just listen to me for once?" Gambit shouted at him.
"Because you're not my boss!!" The tree they were behind exploded and they were sent hurling to another tree. Gambit jumped back up.
"Get behind cover!" He screamed at Iceman. He then pulled out a card and threw it Firestar. This one collided and exploded with power. Gambit smiled as the barrages of fireballs stopped. The smoke cleared and that smile disappeared. He saw Firestar there with no scratches at all.
"I'm made of fire, remember? Not much explosions can hurt me." Firestar said smiling.
"Oh oh. Dat ain't good." Gambit said with his mouth hanging open.
"Run for cover!" Iceman screamed as he skated up in a tree. He was knocked out of the tree after though and fell to the ground with Nightcrawler and Kitty on top of him.
They were fighting too. Gambit then saw Firestar aiming at Iceman and Nightcrawler as the began to get up. Kitty phased into the ground.
"Nightcrawler! Iceman! Move!" Gambit screamed at them. They turned to find a fireball the size of a big boulder flying at them. Gambit jumped behind a huge boulder for cover from the following explosion. The ground was shaking from the intensity of the explosion.
I am in so much trouble. No way I can take Firestar and Kitty at da same time. Gambit thought it was all over until he heard a familiar BUMF. He turned to see Iceman and Nightcrawler behind him.
"Your OK?" He shouted in disbelief.
"Nightcrawler teleported us out of there just in time!" Iceman shouted over all the fire again.
"Ok! Take care of the fires! Nightcrawler, take care of Kitty!" Gambit ordered once again. Nightcrawler teleported away in search of Kitty.
"For the last time, I'm not going to take care of the fires!" Iceman screamed back.
"Why don't you just listen to me!" Gambit screamed.
"In case you haven't noticed, were not exactly friends! Remember the lunchroom when I iced you and you just charged the ice and it exploded? You were actually about to fight me there and—"
"Wait, da lunchroom…" Gambit got an idea. "Iceman, give me as much small ice balls as possible." Gambit ordered.
"Why?" Iceman asked.
"Just do it!" Iceman listened this time and passed gambit 5 marble sized ice balls.
"Lets see if dis works…" Gambit charged the balls and jumped out from behind the boulder. He threw all five of them at Firestar and the exploded on contact with ice everywhere. Gambit covered his eyes from all the flying ice and when he put his hands down, he saw Firestar clutching his stomach.
"It worked!!!?" Iceman screamed in disbelief.
"We got a chance! Run for cover and give me more balls!" Gambit jumped behind another tree and Iceman gave him more balls. He jumped out from cover and was met by a fireball. The ball exploded on contact and Gambit was sent soaring. He hit a tree and fell to the ground with smoke coming up. He felt wooze and everything was starting to go black. Iceman skated over and threw a snowball at him.
"Wake up you idiot!" Iceman screamed at him. That woke up Gambit. He got up and saw Iceman screaming at him. He then saw Firestar throw another fireball at them. Gambit jumped up and tackled Iceman out of the way just in time. Iceman passed him more balls and Gambit threw them just after he charged them. They all hit and blew up. This time it actually made him fall to the ground. Gambit got another ball and charged it. As Firestar got up, he threw it at Firestars face and it exploded. Firestar fell back down.
"We have to end this now! We won't do any good in this forest much longer. It's probably all on fire by now. It's beyond my control!" Iceman screamed.
"Ok…" Gambit thought for a moment. The lunchroom came back to him. He then turned to Firestar. "Ice me." he ordered Iceman.
"Ice you? Why" Iceman asked.
"Just do it and then run for cover." Gambit ordered again.
"But why?" Iceman asked.
"There isn't much time. Just listen to me please, Bobby... Drake." Gambit finnally remembered his last name. Iceman stared and then did as he was told. He incased Gambit in ice and then that's when it came to him.
How could I be so stupid? That's what he wanted to do! Iceman then skated in the other direction. Firestar walked up to the iced Gambit.
"You give up, huh? You were all a walk in the park, but I commend you for your effort." Firestar taunted as he smirked. Gambit smiled under the ice as it started to glow a pink/red color. The smile fell from Firestars face and the ice exploded into thousands of pieces and each piece exploded when it collided with something. Gambit got up in all the ice and that part of the rainforest was no longer on fire from thanks to the ice bombs. He stared at Firestar unconscious on the ground and smiled. Iceman skated up to him amazed they did it. Before they knew it, Nightcrawler teleported in front of them carrying an unconscious Kitty. He laid her down on the ground and smiled at his teammates. Wolverine came down and picked up Firestar and a student picked up Kitty.
"That was an unexpected outcome. I thought you guys were finished. Good job. I'm impressed." Logan congratulated them. He walked out with the student carrying the unconscious mutants and the bell rang. The day was finally over. The students congratulated the trio as they past by on their way out of the danger room. Just then, an unexpected student came up to them.
"Rogue? Your back!" asked Remy and Iceman at the same time. They looked at each other and their eyes narrowed.
"Yup."
"How was you trip?" Remy asked.
"It was great. Kind of uneventful but great nonetheless."
"Great to have you back." Bobby said.
"Thanks Bobby. Great fight, ya'll. Didn't think you could pull it off considering you spent all you time fighting each other. I'm really impressed." Rogue congratulated.
"You were watching?" Iceman asked.
"Ya. I got here right in the beginning. What where you fighting so much for?" Iceman and Remy looked at each other.
"Alright, Rogue. There's something we need to settle here and now. Who do you love?" Iceman asked.
"I love both of you." She replied.
"But who is your boyfriend?" Remy asked.
"Please guys. Not now." She said.
"Sorry." They said.
"Take all da time you need, ma beaute (my beauty)." Remy said to her. She then walked out of the danger room, which was already back to normal. No rainforest, adamantium platforms, or adamantium barriers. It was all normal.
When everyone left Remy, Nightcrawler and Iceman left the danger room and where on their way to their bedrooms. All their rooms where right next to each other on the top floor.
"Soooo Remy." Bobby said.
"Ya?" Remy asked.
"Truce?" Bobby offered his hand for a handshake.
"Truce." Remy said back to him smiling. They shook hands and became friends at that moment. Little did they know that Rogue was hiding behind a wall watching and smiling at the sight. Kurt was also smiling but then he remembered something.
"Aren't we supposed to be meeting in the war room now? Remember? Because of our encounter with Toad?" Kurt asked.
"Oh yeah! Almost forgot. Suit up and lets get back down to the subbasement." Iceman ordered. They all went into their rooms and minutes later they were gone and on their way down to the war room. When they reached there, all the X-men were already there.
"You're late." Cyclops said to them as soon as they came in.
"Sorry." Kurt replied.
"Alright. Storm and I have been thinking about the warnings and we decided the best we can do is prepare. Right now we are going to visit Magneto, who is still in custody, and see what information we can get from him about all this. Tomorrow is Saturday. We are going to run a Brotherhood simulation with Magneto in it.
"I hate those simulations, Cyclops. We almost never win." Dazzler said in a dull tone.
"That's too bad because this time, we are going to do it over and over until we do. How are we supposed to win against the real thing if we can't even beat a simulation? You know we can change the difficulty of a simulation but at its hardest, it's only half the real thing. We are going to need to practice to win." Cyclops answered.
"So when do we leave to visit Magneto?" asked Angel.
"In a couple of hours. Do what you want until that time." Cyclops told them. They left the room and Remy walked up to Cyclops.
"Why don't you just tell someone that mutants are planning to break Magneto out of prison?" Remy asked.
"Because he can't be held in a better secured building besides the SHEILD headquarters and no way Fury is going to bring Magneto there. Way to much risk. That whole building is made of metal. He can only be held in his current plastic prison with other bad guys like Lady Deathstrike, Longshot, and everyone else." Cyclops Replied.
"But if he is broken out there is a big chance dat all our other enemies will get out too." Remy said.
"Yes, and it's happened before." Cyclops said.
"You think they can break him out?" Remy asked.
"They still have that Forge guy on their team who can make any electronic device if he wanted to. That's his mutant power. He makes anything." Cyclops answered.
"Whoa. Why doesn't that guy just make a teleportation device to get Magneto out?" Remy asked.
"Because knowing Magneto, they got something much, much bigger planned." Cyclopes said in a worried tone.
"So what are we supposed to do if he gets out?"
"Same thing we always do. Find him, and stop him."
"Wonder what Magneto got planned. He ain't gonna talk and we don't have any physics' at the moment."
"I have a feeling we'll find out soon enough."
