In which action is dodged and drama is made
The battle between the forces of good and the Sentinels run by Nimrod ended up being an exceedingly short battle in no small part due to the arrival of one very angry esper.
"I..." Release has shown up only moments after the teams scatttered. "Don't..." His mind crushed Sentinel after Sentinel with an ease that terrified those watching. "Like..." He looked to Mal/Starscream. "Being..." His hand jutted forward and the robot shook in pain. "Hunted..."
"Looks like Nimrod lived up to his name..." Mal spoke as the duo inhabiting a body changed and flew off screaming all the while.
"Good..." Release smiled as he turned to the teams. "Play time."
A sudden assault from below him caused the esper to momentarily loose focus, but once he started falling he saw the attack had come from Jean. His anger immediately gave him the focus to right himself, but still he was momentarily distracted.
"Those things are annoying me." Release said to no one as he created a sudden vaccum. "The hate light, right? Well then they're gonna hate me" Then the world exploded into light just as several portals of darkness opened and immediately retreated. Then Wraith and DM appeared.
"Should have guessed it..." Wraith said as a shield erected itself between Release and the teams.
"No..." Jean said. "We need to fight him."
"Jean?" Cyclops looked confused.
"I need to do this Scott. He thinks I'm a rival for that stone." Jean said, "And while I don't want it, I can't let him have it either."
"Finally." Wraith said as the shield withdrew. "Go get'em kiddo."
"Ok Jean, but we all do this. As a team." Cyclops said with a nod to the others.
"Hold on one moment." Release smiled as the ground shook and the large robotic form of Nimrod rose up from under a building. "So this is the best that robot could scrounge up? To bad..." Nimrod immediately started to crumble while it moved forward. As it stood over Release it began to resist the crumbling effect. "Ohhh... resistant. How fun." At that moment Nimrod simply exploded into what could only be described as more pieces than should be allowed and it's source surprised everyone.
"P..." DM said as he saw the angered, empty-eyed form of Perfection descend to the ground near an unconscious Wanda.
"Oh boy..." Release said sarcastically. "You know thats not good."
"She's ok P." Wraith said as he levitated her., "She just got knocked by a piece of debris."
"Take her home please." Perfection said as he turned to Release who merely arched an eyebrow in interest.
"I think we know how this battle would go Scion." Release snorted. "You'll lock me away and then some idiot will free me years from now and I'll just do this all over again." The esper laughed, "For such powerful beings you sure do have way to many rules."
"P..." DM said as he ran up to his friend. The angry Scion turned just in time to catch his friend's fist with his face. Perfection crumpled to the ground instantly, complete with cartoon birdies floating around his head.
"Is he okay?" Wavedancer asked.
"Verily." DM said. "Not so boring now am I?" DM said with a triumphant smile.
"Yeah still." Wavedancer said with a look of apology.
"Fine then..." DM said as he grabbed Perfection's leg, created a portal and then vanished through the portal with his friend.
"Well now..." Release said as he landed only a few hundred yards from the teams. "Since that's all taken care of, shall we continue Ms Grey?"
"What makes you think this is a fight just between us?" Jean asked with a laugh.
"Oh..." Release smiled. "Bad move..." Release then began laughing. "And to think I thought Stephen wouldn't have any fun at all!"
"You mean the twin you absorbed..." Cyclops snarled. "He's siding with us."
"Absorbed? No, I took him in when Trask killed him." Release continued laughing. "The only problem came when he wanted to ride around in me like a robot. Thankfully Mr. Tatsu was an accommodating host. At least until he died due to blood and internal organ loss."
"Wow, shows what you know." Toad snorted. "Tatsu's alive, missing but definitely alive."
"What?" Release groaned. "Figures the one person synced to my brother would still be alive. Anyway, make you choice teams. Me Vs Jean and your precious school doesn't go up in a mushroom cloud or go balls to the wall and let my brother waste the suckers!"
"He's on our side!" Cyclops said, "The Profes..."
"Can't READ US!" Release snorted, "But we can make very convincing fake reads..." Release smiled as a strange field began to crackle between the two teams. "Take your time, we're not going anywhere..."
"Whose back at the mansion?" Jean asked.
"Secondary Team and the Professor." Cylcops said.
"Scott, go back and warn them." Jean said.
"But..." Cyclops was about to protest.
"Get there, I'll keep a solo battle until you do."
"I'm gonna need the entire team to take out his brother, we don't know his powers." Cyclops said.
"Take them, the Maximals and Misfits can help me here when the time comes." Jean said.
Scott took a moment to study Jean's face and then nodded in acceptance before calling for the team to return to the base. Before he left though he gave Jean one of the longest kisses he could. As the Blackbird took off Jean stepped forward ready to face the psychotic esper.
"So..." Release smiled. "You think they can get there before my bother kills everyone?"
"But you said..." Jean was shocked.
"I said he wouldn't blow the place up. He's been ready to kill since you left." Release laughed. "You Maximals might want to go help too, gonna be plenty of injured students..."
"You son of a bitch!" Jean shouted as she sent a psychic wave towards Release, it sent him sailing into a building.
"Now that's the Jean Grey I remember! That's the power I want to see! This world's not so bad after all!" Release said as he launched two blocks at Jean who barely deflected them.
"This is not good..." Cheetor said as the Maximals watched.
"No it's not. He's playing us and we have no choice but to go along." Primal said with a look of anger. "Misfits, can you help Jean?"
"With this lunatic?" Avalanche looked on as Jean launched a telephone pole at Release. "We don't have much of a choice."
"Maximals, to Xavier's! On the double!" Optimus Primal shouted.
