Kurt blinked furiously until his eyes adjusted. The small group was in an
oddly shaped metal room. A stairwell lead up and out of the room, and a row
of windows showed a platform outside. On this platform, rested the missile.
"All right, child. I have no time to beat around the bush, what have you decided?" Mystique growled from her perch on the stairs. Kurt looked anxiously to Gambit, who wore a stone blank face.
"I've decided to take a third choice.." Kurt gasped slightly as Gambit pulled a comb from his pocket.
"Funny, I don't remember giving you a third choice," Mystique scoffed in irritation.
"Let's just say I drew the wild card." Gambit spun quickly, pulling his chains from Pyro's grasp. The Australian mutant shook it off and leapt for Gambit as he tossed the fully charged comb at Mystique.
"Yes!" Screamed Kurt. He smiled, and began BAMFing around the Blob. The big mutant soon became entangled in Kurt's chains.
"Rrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuggggggggggghhhhhhhh!" He growled as he fell with a loud thud.
As Gambit's wayward comb flew towards Mystique, she jumped off the stairs. The object shattered, a few pieces struck the back of her head. She glared at Gambit.
Gambit wrapped his chains over the back of Pyro's neck as the Aussie tackled him. He would have pulled down, and possibly broken his neck, but the impact knocked the breath out of him. As he attempted to catch his breath, he saw Pyro look up, then crawl off him. He looked up and
Mystique slammed her heel into his chest. She watched with a sneer as he gasped in sharply, and rolled onto his stomach. He attempted to climb to his feet, she kneed him in the stomach. She hissed as
He rolled onto his side, his head spinning, his body aching. He looked up and met her gaze as he tried to climb off his chains. Without warning
She reached out and pulled him to his knees by his chin. She sneered as he panted heavily and winced. He was kneeling on his chains now. She balled a fist, and punched him hard in the side of the face. The chains cackled as
He hit the floor on his back. The throbbing increased throughout his entire body, and not even closing his eyes would stop the room from spinning. He groaned and attempted to roll over as she advanced on him again.
Meanwhile, Kurt had ingeniously tripped up the Blob, but was now faced with another dilemma; his chains were stuck under the big oaf. He tried to BAMF away, but just like before he couldn't escape the length of his chains. As he puled at his chains, he didn't have the slightest inkling that Pyro was advancing towards him, until the Aussie pounded him over the head with a random object.
"Fred! Get up you big oaf! I need your help!" Pyro said as he let the unconscious Kurt from his chains.
"Get up. Get up!" Mystique hissed as Gambit rose shakily to his knees. It hurt to breath, it hurt to move, it hurt to think, but never-the-less Gambit pulled a pen from his pocket. He gathered up his remaining strength and launched himself to his feet. He hurled the pen at her.
She had no time to move, and both the charged pen and the nearly unconscious boy came barreling into her. The pen hit her in the chest, just below her collar bone. It shattered, burning her skin and sending pieces into her. Gambit's head slammed into her stomach, and sent them both to the floor.
"Gambit!" The voice was muffled, yet clear. Gambit raised his head shakily. He first looked to Mystique. the impact of the pen, Gambit, and the wall, had knocked her unconscious.
"Over here, smart guy." Gambit turned towards the window. He growled.
Pyro stood at the edge of the platform. Behind him stood the Blob, and in his massive hands he held the chains attached to Kurt's ankles. Kurt was unconscious.
"L-let him g-go.." Gambit coughed.
"Whatever you say!" Pyro chuckled.
