HIHi! here's the fight scene! Hope you like! Thanks to all the people who read this and to Mirrorflower and Darkwind and AddysonMae for Reviewing! Please Enjoy!
The ballroom was packed wall to wall with assassins and mutants, a large bare circle in the middle of it all. Callisto was standing in the center wearing a blood red cloak with Juggernut, and a few other masters behind her. Lily walked forward to the screaming adoration of the crowd to stand before the older looking woman.
"You can still walk away from this, Onslaught. I know you don't want to fight me. I know you can't beat me." Callisto said with a smirk as Lily squared her shoulders back. "All it takes is one action, one small action."
Lily looked around at the many people surrounding her before locking eyes with Kurt. She smiled and winked back at him before she turned to look at Callisto.
"And tho' we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." She replied simply as those behind her backed away.
"Sir Arthur Tennyson, ever the academic…" Callisto replied waving her associates away. "The challenge?"
"Still stands."
"Then let's get the ceremony out of the way."
The two women removed their respective cloaks revealing their choice of weapons.
"Shit." D'Gard said as Logan turned away. Callisto wore light armor that revealed more skin than it protected and what looked like an arsenal of guns on her back and was wearing a white shirt that showed her strong stomach muscles and long soft pants. She had two long curved swords strapped to her hips and a large broadsword on her back.
They both stared the other down as they unsheathed or unholstered their weapons of choice.
"She's going to die…" Logan said anger evident in his voice.
"Don't underestimate her." Caliban said with a wicked smile.
The two women began circling each other like wildcats ready to pounce as the crowd went slowly silent. Lily weaved her swords in a complex, yet beautiful pattern as Callisto held her at gunpoint.
"Last chance, Onslaught. Kneel and accept me as your leader, or face the consequences." The older woman said cocking her guns as Lily stilled for a moment.
'My name…is Whitefire!' Lily thought to her before lunging forward leading with sword point. The crowd exploded with noise as the two mutants ran at one another. Gunshots pierced the air along with the ringing of steel as Lily deflected the bullets with both her mind and swords. She sliced through the air with her blades until she met flesh. The bullets flashed past, grazing her arms and bady when she couldn't deflect them far enough.
"Holy fuck!" Logan said as he watched them fight, Callisto's body moving impossibly fast as she emptied gun after gun at Lily.
"Amazing isn't it?" D'Gard said.
"Tell me vhen it's over…" Kurt said as he turned away, only to turn back again as the crowd all groaned. Lily was standing in the middle of the floor with a sword raised in bitter triumph as Callisto grasped her leg, gasping in pain as a small pool of blood poured around her.
"Give up?" Lily said loud and clear.
"Never." Callisto growled raising another gun as she lunged forward again. Callisto emptied clip after clip at her, finally screaming in frustration as she tossed her last gun away.
"Forget it, Callisto." Lily said panting as blood ran down her face from a cut on her head. "It's over."
"No…" She replied forcing herself to stand.
"Look at you! You're covered in blood! Please, Callisto, give in!" She begged as the other struggled to remain upright as she searched for another gun. The crowd had long ago gone silent as the two warriors had continued to fight.
"It's enough, Callisto." Lily said finally turning to limp away. "It's enough."
"It's never enough!" Callisto shrieked pulling out a final gun to shoot at Lily.
"Look out!" Kurt and Logan screamed as she turned back too late. The entire room gasped in unison as the bullet cracked through the air, everyone hearing the muffled thump as Lily fell to the ground holding her side.
"You should have taken the deal." Callisto said coldly into the shocked silence of the room. "Tomorrow, we march to…"
BANG! Suddenly Callisto's face fell as she looked down at her chest. A large blood stain appeared over her heart as she looked back up with a smirk before falling over, dead. Runner, Steven Marko, held a gun shaking in his hands before dropping it to the ground.
"Lily!" Kurt yelled running over to her prone form to gather her in his arms as the others followed behind him. "Lily…Oh Gott…Please let her be alive."
"Hey…" She said smiling weakly up at him with bloodstained teeth. "Should have seen that coming."
"Yes, you should haff." Kurt said with a strained laugh cradling her close to his body as she began coughing.
"I guess…I'm going to die?"
"Nicht, mien Engel, remember you are going to be zhe death of me."
"Maybe not…not anymore." She said weakly struggling to breathe as Kurt's eyes began to well with tears.
"You're going to be fine." He choked out smoothing her hair away from her face.
"Kurt…" Logan said gently placing a hand on his shoulder.
"You're going to be fine…"
"Kurt…"
"Nonononononienniennienien…" He moaned as tears began working their way down his cheeks. Runner walked up to the group looking shell shocked as he brought over the gun Callisto had been using.
"It's every telekinetics worst nightmare." He said holding it out to D'Gard who looked at it carefully.
"Made of that godforsaken metal Magneto found to make his helmet from…" The older man said shaking his head. "Only metal kinetics can move it."
"No, Lily don't…"
As they all turned to look at Kurt and Lily, D'Gard's mouth slowly opened in shock. She was weakly making a pulling motion with her hand above her wound as the bullet slowly wiggled its way out of her body. She gasped as the bit of metal pinged on the ground before covering the hole with her hand as it began bleeding profusely.
"Son of a bitch…" D'Gard, Logan, and Caliban said at the same time.
"H-How…Did she…" D'Gard stammered as the crowd gasped in surprise and began whispering loudly.
"Like you said…" Lily gasped out her face going paler and paler. "Concentration...Rage…Serenity…meditation…God this hurts."
"Rage and Serenity? That sounds like Professor X…" D'Gard said looking confused as the crowds whispers became louder.
"It better…he's the one who taught me." She replied sounding even weaker. The crowd suddenly went pin drop silent.
"Taught you?" Caliban asked suddenly looking frightened. "But that can't be…that would mean…"
"Yeah…She's Lily Xavier. The Professor's daughter." Logan said as Caliban went pale. "What of it?"
"But that's impossible…That means…"
"NO!" Kurt screamed as the others looked over their expressions turning to horror as they watched him cradle her lifeless body.
