Want to meet some brand new mutants? Okay. I can do that.
Magneto Strikes Again
But it was already too late. Magneto struck the base with his mutants hard and fast. Mystique had shapeshifted into a guard and shut down the security system long enough for Magneto to breach the Joe's defenses. Before they knew it, they were being attacked. Magneto easily used the Joe's tanks and weapons against them.
The X-Men heard the commotion and once again ignored orders to stay inside their rooms. They split up into teams to go and fight. Rogue and Remy barely made it around the corner when they ran into Duke. "What are you doing?" He asked. "Never mind! Follow me!" They did.
And ran straight into two identical mutants. They were both huge and had rams horns on their heads. "Look at what we found Ramrod," One snickered.
"Something to play with Ramfist," The other grinned.
"You two overgrown billygoats are gonna be crying to your momma when we're done with you!" Gambit started to charge a card.
Then Duke sprayed some gas into Rogue and Remy's faces They could just see Mystique changing form before they passed out.
"Take the both of them to the orbs," Mystique told them. The two mutants picked them up and took them.
Not much further away a female mutant with four arms and a sword in each hand was attacking the Joes. She was about to slice Mainframe in half when Snake Eyes blocked her swords with his own.
She glared at him. "I am Shiva," She told him. "No one can beat me with my blades."
Snake Eyes said nothing. He simply fought her. "You cannot defeat me!" She laughed. "I am the messenger of death! I am the ultimate swordswoman! I…." To her surprise Snake Eyes knocked one of her swords out of her hands. "How did you do that?"
Suddenly she was covered in green slime. "That ought to cool you off!" Todd laughed. He saw Snake Eyes making a motion. "What?" He turned and saw a tall mutant with spiked blond hair smiling at him. "Oh! Okay! I can take you!"
"That'll be a shock!" He smiled. Then electricity flowed from his fingers.
"Uh oh," Todd gulped. "That's not good." He leapt out of the way of the mutant's electrical attack. "Great another Berzerker!" Todd groaned.
"The name's Bolt actually," The mutant said as he spread his electric attack to a wide field instead of a single stream. It hit both Snake Eyes and Todd. "Got him,"
"About time," Shiva grunted, wiping the slime off of her. "He's not dead is he?"
"Nah," He picked him up. "Just stunned. Boss wanted him alive."
"Good," Shiva said. "Let's take him back." She looked at Snake Eyes. "We'll settle this another day." They took off leaving Snake Eyes behind.
Magneto floated among the fray. He used his powers on both the X-Men and Joes alike. He used the tanks as their own weapons against them. However to his surprise the Joes did not easily go down. Their guns were made of plastic and shot out lasers instead of bullets. Many of the Joes were taking on some of the mutants in hand to hand combat and giving as good as they got.
He made his way to the offices where there was a fight going on. Ramrod and Ramfist had rejoined the battle, but to their surprise Roadblock, Falcon and Sgt. Slaughter were just as good fighters as they were.
Well actually better since they were thrown to the floor in a heap. "This is intolerable!" Magneto snarled, using his powers to trap them and tie them up with a metal beam.
A laser blast distracted him. "Get out of here you Landlover!" Shipwreck shot at him.
"Really," Magneto tossed a few barrels at Shipwreck. Some of them he dodged. "No wonder your children have no manners. That's the first thing I am going to work on them."
"Stay away from my family!" Shipwreck growled.
"This is for the best," Magneto told him. "Soon your children will be under my tutelage. What have we here?" He looked at Claudius peeking out from behind some crates. He reached out to grab him.
"HANDS OFF MY SON YOU BLASTED BILGE RAT!" Shipwreck shouted as he lunged at Magneto.
Magneto smirked and sent another barrel at Shipwreck. This threw him hard against the wall. Claudius screamed in terror as Magneto caught him.
"Claudie…" Shipwreck yelped before he blacked out.
Coming up, the attack rages on. And another new mutant is introduced! (Sort of) You'll see more of Magneto's new recruits later. I just felt like making a few of them up.
