"Piotr..." Ororo said, but did not complete her sentance. She left him in the room by himself. Her silvery white hair swished behind her as she ran out of the room.
"Ah!" there was a slight yell and groan as Storm crashed into Rogue and they both fell on the floor. "Hey sugah, what's the rush?" Rogue was up in no time off the floor as well as Storm. Rogue looked tired, but seemed energetic.
"I have to leave Rogue," Storm said whispering in sorrow, "I have caused yet enough pain amongst my loved ones. I must leave at once. Somehow I must figure out to release myself from the Pheonix."
"C'mon sugah, Jean and Psylocke took care of her. You should still be restin'."
"No! I can yet feel the Pheonix inside of me. Just because she is hidden in my mind does not keep her in bondage forever." Ororo began to storm away from Rogue.
"But sugah..."
Her next encounter was with Jubilee whom was still in pain but Jubilee did not show any signs of hatred or sorrow. "Oh Storm, I'm so glad you're like okay," she hugged Ororo tightly.
"Jubilee, I am terribly sorrow for the pain I have caused you."
"Storm, it's okay. I know it wasn't you. It was the Phoenix."
"Child, I must break free..." she says as she forces herself out of Jubilee's hug. Storm began to run away from Jubilee but was hastily followed. Jubilee's perplexed look on her face made it known that she was confused about what was happening, but I was not. I knew Storm could sense my fiery sensation revealing it's face once again.
Storm ran as fast as she could and was soon on the main balcony. She could run no further. "Storm, please wait..."
"Jubilee, I regret what I am about to do, but self sacrifice is the only way to protect you and the rest of the X-Men."
"Storm no!" but her call was worthless as Storm began to fly from the balcony and into the sky. She was willing to lose her own life to save the ones of her family.
A small red Corvette pulled up to the mansion followed by a black Mercedes Benz jeep. "Where is she?" came the stern voice of Emma Frost as she was followed out of the small car by Leech and Artie Maddicks. Sean Cassidy erupted out of the large jeep and the other Generation X members followed.
"She's up there!" Jubilee yelled from the balcony. Sean began to yell sonic bursts from his mouth which in turn gave him the ability of flight. He used a very high frequency as not to disturb anyone.
"Aaah!" a scream was heard from above as Storm's body came tumbling out of the sky. A bone was sticking out of the back of her shoulder? Uh-oh. Marrow had done it now. Marrow and Storm had never been the best of friends. Way back with the Morlocks and now with the X-Men. Marrow's bad timing was going to get her hurt and that attack was the one which would break me free again.
"Storm I have ye," said an Irish voice as he began to yell loudly in flight.
"Oh isn't that sweet," my sarcastic and deep voice ejected out of Storm's mouth as did my flames which sent Sean Cassidy, also known as Banshee back to the mansion's front lawn. He would be out of it for awhile.
I gave an evil laughter as I allowed Storm's body to hover down above Marrow. She was shaking and could hardly talk. "Marrow. Marrow. Ororo herself has killed you once. Pulled your heart right out of your chest -- without using her mutant abilities. It would be a shame for you to expect anything less from me," and with that I forged Marrow's body into the ground with a strong wave of flames. Her body was limp and in moments she would be dead. I decided not to waste my time.
"Ah had enough of this," came the voice of a young lady with blonde hair, "Then deal with Husk!" She began to remove the skin from her body and below was a form of her body in lava. She charged into me, placing her hot laval into my flames.
"Child, did you know the person who told you to fight fire with fire was an idiot?" Her body flung into the air and through a glass window as a strong gust of wind, provided by Storm's abilities, blew through the air.
"Well, my next attacker seems to be breaking into my mind," I yelled furiously as I immediately struck her with lightning. The volts juggled down her skeleton and back up as her body lay on the ground, smoke rising from it from the intense heat and electricution.
I knew none of the X-Men were strong enough to come out and fight me. Most of them were still in the infirmary and med lab, and the ones that weren't were too beat up and exhausted to try and help the Generation X members.
"Oh give it a rest!" I said as I sent three more lightning bolts into the air, attack Monet St. Croix, her twin sisters stuck in one body -- Penance, and the mute boy, Chamber. Was I killing the kids? No. I was teaching them a lesson in respect. One they weren't soon going to forget.
"Get her now amigo," yelled a voice with a spanish accent as 6 feet of extra skin was wrapped around me. Did he honestly think he could hold me? I also noticed the body travelling through the ground; eating up it's organic matter.
Mondo and Skin. They would be easy to deal with. I released myself into the full fiery bird form that recognizes me so well. Skin's extra skin was burnt severely and sent him stumbling back and rolling on the ground in pain. As Mondo came from under the ground I made direct contact with him. He looked into my eyes ferociously, which was exactly what I needed. From my eyes shot two bolts of lightning, faster than he could react. His eyes soon were burnt and blinded and he was down for the fight.
Franklin Richards, son of the famous leader of Fantastic Four. He would pose no threat, even if he did release all his mental abilities. As he tried to change the forms of reality around me I knocked him unconscious with a regular smack from Storm which was followed by a deep kick to the face of the pink little mutant known as Artie Maddicks.
"Okay, I've had enough!" yelled a voice from behind me. A colorful aura formed around his body as pyrokinetics shot at me from his body. No effect. Then an optic blast from his eyes. Still no damage. He was an amazing mutant. It seemed he had the ability to copy other mutant's genes, but they stood no chance against me -- until I was caught off guard and sent to the ground by a hurdled mountain of extra skin.
"The name's Synch. You'll remember it by the time I'm done." I was hit repeatedly with psychic bolts, making me dizzy and unable to counter attack. Then Ororo's body, which was the sanctuary for myself was lifted in one of her own tornados. This Everett Thomas, this Synch was definitely a very strong opponent. Luckily, Storm's abilities were psionic as well, and while almost being shredded by the tornado as we neared the bottom, a chilling freeze came through the air and turned Synch into an ice sculpture.
"Anyone else?" I looked at all the bodies all across the lawn. Jubilee was still watching from the balcony, too weak from the previous battle to do anything. "You mutants are pathetic."
As I turned around, I saw a little green mutant shivering in fear below me. "What're you gonna do you booger-lookin' fiasco?"
"Leech not want trouble. Leech not do nothing," whimpered his childish voice.
"Oh shut up!" I forced a hand down at him, attempting to force a lightning bolt into his body.
"NO STORM. AAAAH!" Nothing happened. No lightning came from my hand.
"You little runt! You turned off my powers!" I yelled, "NO!"
My fire bird face was larger than ever as Storm's body could be seen back in her X-Men uniform. Her body was flying vertically through the fire bird, which was me. Her hand was clothed in lightning as she forced herself out of my being. She was free. And so was I.
Storm's body lay exhausted on the ground -- seperate from my entity. The little green mutant known as Leech had saved galaxies. I raised up all the injured mutants, doing what I could to rejuvinate them.. but all injuries and death I couldn't reverse. "Mutants, I apologize for my actions against you. It was as if when Storm escaped me, I had bitten the fruit that Adam and Eve ate of. I realized my sin. Now, I am as I always was. Forever a slave to the M'kran crystal."
"That won't bring any of our friends back!" Jubilee yelled from the balcony in tears where the other X-Men were now standing.
"I know I cannot ask for your total forgiveness. But I must depart."
"No..." Storm cried, hitting her fists against the ground.
"Ah!" there was a slight yell and groan as Storm crashed into Rogue and they both fell on the floor. "Hey sugah, what's the rush?" Rogue was up in no time off the floor as well as Storm. Rogue looked tired, but seemed energetic.
"I have to leave Rogue," Storm said whispering in sorrow, "I have caused yet enough pain amongst my loved ones. I must leave at once. Somehow I must figure out to release myself from the Pheonix."
