The Battle At Bayville High

"MOVE IT!" Kurt yelled as he grabbed Amanda and teleported away just as the Sentinel's hand crashed through the window. Kitty grabbed Rogue and Tabitha and they phased through the tip of the hand and wall of the building. Sam crashed through part of the wall along with Peter and everyone else fled through the hole.

"Kurt? What's happening?" Amanda yelled as Kurt teleported her outside.

"Amanda you have to run away from us! It's your only chance! RUN!" Kurt yelled as he went in the other direction to help his friends.

Fortunately for the X-Men they weren't the only mutants there. The Brotherhood had sent Todd to the school to spy on the gang.

"You guys gotta get over here pronto!" Todd yelled into his cell phone. "There's a Sentinel on the loose at the school! That thing is tearing up the place! The X-Men don't stand a chance!"

"A Sentinel? Kitty…" Lance gasped. "Come on we gotta suit up and get over there!"

"But Magneto said for us not to fight with the X-Men," Pyro said.

"He said only not to start fights with the X-Men," Pietro said. "Never said anything about joining fights the X-men are already in!" He ran off ahead to help.

You would think that the X-Men would have little trouble in attacking a single Sentinel. But the Sentinel had more firepower than expected. And more new features.

WHAM!

The Sentinel sent shockwaves that knocked back the mutants. Then it detected Kitty. "Mutant Files: Kitty Pryde: Phasing could disrupt system. Status, most dangerous. Prime target, render inoperable."

"Kitty watch out!" Peter yelled.

"AAAAAAHHH!" Kitty was hit with a strange green ray. She tried to run through the Sentinel but was knocked backwards. "My powers!"

"Phase 1 Power Nullifier effective, terminate…." The Sentinel went to step on her.

The next thing Kitty knew she had been whisked away just before the laser hit her. "You guys are so slow it's funny!" Pietro quipped as he carried her off. "It's a good thing the Brotherhood are here to save your butts!"

"Huh? Quicksilver? Oh great!" Kitty groaned. "You are never going to let me live this down are you?"

"Not really, no!" Pietro remarked as he put her down. "Are you okay?"

"Kind of stunned…" Kitty groaned. "I…I can't use my powers!"

"Must be a side effect of that stupid ray!" Rogue said. "You think it's permanent?"

"I'm not gonna stick around to find out!" Todd told them as he hopped out of the tree. Suddenly it got dark. "Aw man now it's gonna rain!"

"No, it's the cavalry!" Rogue pointed as Ororo flew overhead. "Looks like the Brotherhood isn't gonna be our only backup!"

Meanwhile the entire school was panicking. "THIS IS NOT WHAT I WAS PROMISED!" Principal Bricklebee screamed as the Sentinel tromped all over the school grounds. "NOBODY SAID ANYTHING ABOUT GIANT ROBOTS!"

"Wait you knew something like this was going to happen?" One of the teachers yelled.

"Not like this obviously!" Bricklebee yelled as the machine took a swipe at Ororo but missed and hit part of the school instead. "MY SCHOOL!"

"Dude there goes another wall," A slacker said to another.

"We have to help Storm!" Rogue shouted as the Sentinel shot lasers at Ororo, who dodged them.

"Good idea! It's hero time!" Bobby iced up and rode on his ice toboggan straight ahead. He was blasted back by a laser. Kurt managed to grab him and teleport him back to safety. "Is it me or do those lasers really pack a punch?"

"It's not you…" Sam groaned as he was knocked backwards.

Tabitha, Ray, Roberto and Amara tried to use their powers to knock the Sentinel down but found their attacks useless. Peter had armored up but was knocked back as well. "What's the situation?" Scott shouted as he pulled up with Logan, Hank and Jean in their uniforms.

"Big bad Sentinel trashing the school and knocking us around like rag dolls," Pietro huffed as he had pulled Sam to safety.

"We're here to help!" Lance and the rest of the Brotherhood arrived.

"Good we're gonna need it!" Todd gulped as Ororo tried to zap the Sentinel with lighting only to have her attack reflected back at her.

"Watch out for that green ray!" Kitty yelled as the Sentinel shot out a ray. "STORM! WATCH OUT!"

The green ray hit Ororo and she screamed in pain. She started to plummet to the ground. "Storm!" Logan shouted.

"I can slow her fall!" Jean used her telekinesis to catch her.

"I got her!" Pietro ran over and Jean let her down enough for Pietro to grab her and bring her to safety.

"Storm? Are you all right?" Hank asked.

"I have been better," Ororo groaned. "My powers! I can't access my powers!"

"I think it's only temporary," Kitty flexed her hand. "I got hit too and I'm still stunned but I think it's wearing off. I can feel it."

"That's still a major disadvantage in our situation," Hank said.

"Especially with us not being heavy hitters against that," Kitty groaned.

"If that Sentinel comes over here we're toast yo!" Todd whined.

"But it's not. Why is the Sentinel looking over there when we're all over here?" Rogue asked. "It's walking away from us!"

"Mutant Signature detected! Destroy!" The Sentinel had turned away from the majority of X-Men. It seemed to stalk a group of kids. Amanda was one of them. She tripped and fell. Before anyone could do anything the Sentinel seemed to power up a laser blast.

"AMANDA!" Kurt yelled just about ready to teleport her out of the way when something happened.

FLASH!

Before Kurt realized it Amanda was right next to him. "Amanda?" Kurt gasped. "Did you just…?"

"I…I…" Amanda was shaking.

"Unknown mutant signature identified," The Sentinel turned back to them. "Terminate!"

"Terminate this!" Scott shot out an optic blast but to his horror the Sentinel seemed to not be affected by it. "My optic blasts have no affect!"

"Let's try working together!" Wanda shouted. With Wanda's hex bolt, Scott's optic blasts, Bobby's ice shards, Ray's electricity, Tabitha's energy bombs, Amara's fire and Lance's earthquake at the same time. They gave it a huge hit and forced the Sentinel to fall backwards. Right into the side of the school.

"We knocked it down but it's getting back up again!" Bobby shouted.

"What do you have to do to kill this thing?" Ray yelled.

"It's a robot, Berzerker!" Roberto shouted. "You can't kill it!"

"You know what I mean!" Ray yelled.

"We have to try and lead it away from the school!" Scott shouted. The mutants tried to retreat but the Sentinel recovered quickly. It jumped and cornered them on the football field.

"For a hunk of tin that thing is fast!" Logan roared. He charged straight at the thing and tried to use his claws on the Sentinel. They didn't make a dent. He was knocked backwards by a swift kick of the foot.

"Wolverine!" Jean caught him with her telekinesis as the other mutants tried to fight.

"Adamantium…" Logan grunted. "Pretty dense…"

"No wonder our attacks are doing squat!" Bobby snapped.

"This is not good!" Lance shouted as he barely escaped a laser blast. The laser deflected off the side of his helmet and it cracked. "Aw man!"

"Hey if that thing can shut off our powers why doesn't it keep doing it?" Fred asked as he threw a car from the parking lot at the Sentinel. "I mean why not shut off all our powers first and then blow us up?"

"A very good question, Blob," Hank said as he dodged a regular laser. "Perhaps it can only do so in limited timed amounts since the rays capabilites are unstable..."

"In English please!" Todd shouted.

"The ray that robs our powers might need to recharge for some reason," Hank said. "Is that simple enough for you?"

Amara was in full fire form and flinging flames at the Sentinel. However the Sentinel seemed unfazed by this and shot something out of it's chest. It was a huge metal bowl that fell over Amara and seemed to trap her.

"GET ME OUT! GET ME OUT!" Amara screamed as she looked through the window.

Kitty made her way over there but was stopped. "I…I can't phase through!" Kitty pounded on the metal object. "I still can't use my powers!"

"Shadowcat! Watch out!" Peter put himself in front of Kitty to protect her from a huge laser blast. They were both knocked back.

"Okay that's it! You're going down!" Lance summoned up his greatest tremor. It knocked the Sentinel back but it also knocked down half the school.

"MY SCHOOL!" Principal Bricklebee screamed. "THEY'RE DESTROYING MY SCHOOL!"

"At least all the students got out!" A teacher shouted.

"WHO CARES? THEY DESTROYED MY SCHOOL!" Principal Bricklebee started to cry.

"Way to care about your students, dude," A slacker grumbled.

"We're gonna need a lot more than a few bake sales to cover this," Another teacher sighed.

"Well there goes the gym again," Pietro quipped. "And the east wing of the school. Oh there goes the west wing too…"

"Get out of the way!" Rogue shoved Kurt and Amanda to the side as she was hit with a green ray. "Oh great..."

Then the mutants were all knocked back with a shockwave. "We're all going to die aren't we?" Todd moaned as he lay on the ground.

"Yes we are, Toad," Kurt moaned.

"I knew it!" Todd groaned. "I knew sooner or later this lifestyle will kill me!"

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUMMMMMMMMBBBLLEEE!

"Okay that was not me!" Lance shouted.

"It's coming from…" Kurt looked behind him. "Magma?"

The metal dome buckled and bent as a huge plume of molten fire red rock spewed out from under it. Amara in her Magma form rose on top like a goddess of fire.

"MAGMA WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST DO?" Ray screamed.

"Is that…?" Fred's jaw dropped.

"Lava, yes," Pietro gulped.

"And is it…?" Todd blinked.

"Getting bigger? Definitely!" Lance was stunned.

"And it's…It's a…A…" Wanda gasped. "It can't be!"

"It is! It's a volcano!" Scott's jaw dropped. "Magma is making a volcano!"

CRASH! SMASH!

Streams of lava were directed from Amara at the top of the giant mound. The Sentinel could not withstand the assault and it toppled backwards onto the school. What was left of the school.

"Good work Magma!" Logan yelled. "Adamantium can be melted with extreme heat!"

"Yeah and I guess a ton of lava would be hot enough to melt it," Fred said.

Amara let out a primal scream as she let loose more lava, destroying the Sentinel, but she didn't stop there. She created more lava and let it spew over the football field and the school.

"Whoa! She's good!" Pyro gasped happily. "I think I'm in love!"

"I don't believe it!" Kurt gasped. "There's a volcano on the football field!"

"Look on the bright side," Todd said. "The way our football players play, they're not gonna use it much anyway."

"And it took out that Sentinel pretty well," Kitty blinked. "LOOK OUT!"

More lava and rocks spewed from the ground as the volcano grew larger and larger. "Okay Amara that's enough…" Tabitha gulped. "The Sentinel's down. You can stop now…"

Amara didn't listen. She was screaming and yelling in rage. She kept making the volcano grow and kept firing fireballs and lava streams at the school. Not to mention a few students and teachers who ran away in terror. "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO US? I HATE YOU! DIE YOU INFERIOR HUMANS! DIE!"

"Okay…Looks like Magma is having some kind of breakdown," Pietro gulped. "Any ideas?"

"I'll get her!" Jean flew up to her. "Amara! Stop! Stop it!"

"WHY SHOULD I?" Amara yelled. "THEY TRIED TO KILL US AND WE DID NOTHING?! THEY SHOULD PAY!"

"Amara…Stop it!" Jean shouted as she used her telekinesis to deflect sparks of heat and lava directed around Amara. "Sorry Amara…If you're not going to listen to reason…" She focused her mental powers.

"AAAAHH!" Amara screamed before Jean knocked her out telepathically. Jean then used her telekinesis to lower Amara to the ground. Amara reverted to her human form.

"LOOK OUT!" Rogue shouted. Large rocks and bits of lava fell to the ground from the air. Most of the mutants managed to get out of the way. "SHADOWCAT! COLOSSUS!" Jean yelled.

"Whoa…Got my powers back just in time," Kitty phased through the hot rock holding onto Peter. "That was scary."

"Not as scary as that!" Todd pointed to the giant lava spewing hole in the ground.

"Okay let's focus, I mean we did kind of take on a volcano before!" Ray said.

"Yeah but if you remember it was Magma that did it!" Bobby said. "And she's not exactly able to turn it off now!"

"Can't you like just ice it up or something?" Fred yelled as more lava spewed over Bayville High (what was left of it) and into the parking lot.

"Let me think..." Bobby sent out a cold blast of ice but it immediately melted. "NO!"

"Rogue! What about your powers? You can just zap Amara and..." Tabitha said.

"And then become mental like her," Logan finished.

"If I wasn't just hit with the stupid ray a minute ago!" Rogue said.

"Well then why waste an opportunity?" Pietro shrugged and kissed Rogue passionately. "Was it as good for you as it was for me?"

"AAAHHHH! I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" Rogue got free and managed to sock Pietro one. She started chasing him around. "DIE! DIE! DIE!"

"Okay when Rogue's powers do come back it's defintely a bad idea to give her the power to make volcanos now!" Scott groaned. "Thanks a lot Quicksilver!"

"LET ME KILL HIM! I WANT HIM DEAD! DEAD! DEAD!" Rogue had to be restrained by Jean and Tabitha.

"Uh we'll you see you guys around!" Lance gulped when he heard police siren. "RUN FOR IT!" The Brotherhood took off to the hills.

"Something tells me they're more scared of Rogue than the volcano," Sam quipped. "Not that I blame them."

FOOOOOOOM!

"Uh I think the volcano might be a bit bothersome as well," Hank gulped as the X-Men ran to higher ground as lava started to advance on their position.

"Wow that's one big volcano," Bobby blinked.

"We are so going to get expelled for this," Kitty groaned.
