Chapter 10

The Power of Q

Sabertooth let out a roar before charging straight at Q, only to be struck by a red energy beam that came out of Q's eyes, sending him flying backwards and causing him to bounce twice on the ground before slamming into a tree. Portal then created a portal and Succubus flew in, appearing behind Q. Succubus swung her razor sharp claws at Q, only to hit air. Q teleported behind Succubus and shot his tongue out, which wrapped around Succubus's leg. Q then slammed Succubus against one of the many tree's in the area, he then fired another beam from his eyes. He retracted his tongue just in time for Succubus to be blasted through the tree.

Q then turned his attention back to the remaining Harbingers. Pyro created a huge fireball and sent it straight at Q, who created another force field to block it. Portal then created another portal that led to inside the shield and Pyro fired another fireball through it. The fireball found it's mark and the force field dropped. "Got the bastard." Pyro exclaimed just before his faced dropped. "No way!"

Q walked out of the blast zone with most of his skin burned off and his cloths charred. His skin quickly healed and he said. "Is that all you've got?" He then stomped his foot and a pillar of earth jetted up from the ground underneath Pyro and Portal send them both into the air. He then caught them with telekinesis and slammed them into each other hard. Q was struck by a blast of air from Lilith, send him flying through one of mansion's bay windows. He stood up with several pieces of glass stuck into his back. He got up and walked out of the hole, the glass being pushed out of his body as he healed, leaving a trail of blood and glass in his wake. "Hello, Lilith. It's been awhile."

Lilith glared, began to hover, and charged at Q, who fired eyes at her. She gracefully dodged the attack and closed the distance. The air around her fist began the twist and spin and swung it at Q. He quickly ducked and the attack hit a tree behind him. The wood exploded and the tree fell… right on top of Lilith.

Q stalked his fallen prey until he heard an enraged roar. He looked for the source to see Sabertooth standing right over him. Sabertooth brought a powerful fist down against Q's face, sending him reeling. Q then saw Pyro firing a stream of fire at him. Q then grabbed Sabertooth using telekinesis and pulled him into the path of the fire. Sabertooth let out an agonized roar and Q then threw him at the source. An on fire Sabertooth crashed into Pyro, causing a Pyro's tank to bust and explode.

Q then yelled as his back was suddenly pieced deeply by Succubus's claws, who had also recovered from Q's attack. Q fell to one knee, the blood loss finally starting to get to him. Succubus pulled her blood cover claw back and was about to decapitate Q, when she was struck by an eye beam from Scott. The now assembled X-men and Brotherhood rushed to Q's side and took up a defensive stance, ready for anything.

Lilith finally managed to pull herself from under the tree and now was assessing the situation. She and the rest of her team were injured and were now hopelessly out numbered. There was only one thing to do. "Portal get us out of here!" Lilith ordered.

Portal began creating portals underneath his teammates, causing them to fall through to safety. He then did the same for himself.

Harbinger's Hideout

Lilith fell to the ground, holding her stinging cheek and avoiding Shadow's furious gaze. "You failed me Lilith!" He yelled at her before kicking her hard in the ribs. "Explain yourself, now!"

"I…it wasn't my fault, sir." She said absolutely terrified by Shadow. "We had it under control until Q…"

"Q was there?" Shadow said with both interest and surprise. Lilith only had the courage to nod. "It's no wonder you failed. Q is a very powerful mutant, and you'd have to be at my level to beat him." He said reaching for Lilith causing her to flinch. "You did the best you could and you're lucky to even be alive." He gentle guided her back to her feet. "But don't worry, next time I will be with you, and I'll kill him for sure this time."

Okay I know that this chapter was a little short, but I'm happy with how it turned out. Please remember to review, or I'll find you.
