Jailbreak!

Todd woke up to the sound of groans. He lifted his head and realized he was the one who was making them. He saw that he wasn't chained up this time. Neither was Rogue. She was out cold. Remy looked awful and was chained to the wall by one leg. He was looking after Rogue as best he could. Somehow he had gotten out of the restraints on his hands.

"What happened?" Todd gingerly touched his sore head. "Last thing I remember is going into that stupid contraption of Magneto's. Then Boom! It exploded around me. Hey what happened to you two?"

"Mystique paid a little visit while you were up there," Remy groaned. "I don't know what happened to her."

"She don't look so good," Todd hopped over to them.

"I'd feel better if it wasn't for this mariachi band playing inside my head," Rogue groaned as she woke up.

"What happened?" Remy asked, concerned.

"Magneto gave me some kind of drug," Rogue held her head. "Some kind of DNA enhancer. You?"

"Mystique," Gambit frowned. "Wish I could have fought her off as well as Toad. What happened up there? I heard an explosion."

"That was me," Todd groaned.

"That reminds me," Rogue looked at Todd. "How did you do that?"

"Do what?" Todd looked at them.

"Destroyed Magneto's machine stupid!" Remy groaned.

"Are you kidding?" Todd looked at them. "I didn't do anything! It was just dumb luck that the thing blew up on me!"

"Are you sure?" Rogue asked.

"Oh come on Rogue," Todd told her. "It's not like I have any other secret powers or anything! I mean give me a break!"

"He's got a point," Remy said. "This is Toad we're talking about."

"Yeah you're right," Rogue groaned. "Thing must have blown a gasket or something."

"We gotta get out of here!" Todd snapped. "We gotta save Little C!"

"How" Rogue asked.

"Maybe you can pick the lock or…." Todd said when he saw John walk in. "What do you want."

"Magneto wants a word with you Toad," John grinned.

"I'm busy this week," Todd snapped. "Call my secretary and make an appointment."

"Very funny frog face!" John sneered. "Hey Blob!" Fred walked in. "Let's teach the Toad some manners shall we?"

"Oh yes. Oopsie!" Fred knocked Pyro into the wall, knocking him out. "Oh did I do that? How clumsy of me!" He turned off the power to the electric bars. The cell was opened.

"What the heck are you doing?" Remy asked.

"Uh gee Gambit I knocked Pyro out and opened the cell," Fred snapped. "What does it look like I'm doing? Don't you morons know a jailbreak when you see one?"

"You're helping us escape?" Rogue blinked.

"Yes is that so hard to believe?" Fred snapped.

"Yes it is," Rogue snapped back.

"Look do you idiots want to get rescued or not?" Fred snapped.

"Well first we have to get Gambit here…" Rogue pulled at Remy's chain. It came out of the wall. "Unchained?"

"Hey I thought I was the only one here with super strength?" Fred marveled.

"That stuff Magneto gave you must have given you new powers," Todd remarked as she removed the chain from Remy's leg.

"Well that's handy," Rogue got up. "Now if it could just give me something to get rid of this headache I'll be all right!"

"Come on," Fred said. "We gotta get to the hanger. "There's a small shuttlecraft that we have for emergencies. You guys can use that to escape in!" They went down the corridor.

"What about Little C?" Todd asked.

"Don't worry!" Fred said. "Pietro's taking care of that! The little guy's okay!"

They ran down the corridors as well as they could. "We should get there without anyone spotting us," Fred said.

Then three mutants appeared in front of them. "Or not," Fred gulped.

"What are you doing Blob?" Ramfist snarled.

"Uh…" Fred scratched his head. "Well I'm…uh…I'm uh…Oh forget it!" He punched Ramfist out.

Ramrod and Shiva attacked. Todd took on Ramrod and started kicking and punching him. Shiva charged at Rogue who barely dodged out of the way of her knives. Remy threw a charged card in front of her face as a distraction. They all took off running down another corridor.

"This way!" Fred panted.

"I don't see them behind us," Remy said. "Maybe we lost them, no?"

"Uh no," Todd gulped as the three mutants ran in front of them again. Apparently they had taken a short cut.

"Where do you think you're going?" Shiva snarled.

"Get them!" Ramfist snarled.

"Oh shut up!" Todd snarled as he kicked Ramfist in the head. Fred knocked down his brother.

"What does it take to get rid of these guys?" Fred grumbled as Ramrod got back up.

Shiva kicked Remy down and then turned on Rogue. "Time to die," She hissed as she attacked.

"Rogue!" Todd shouted.

The mutant stabbed her with the blade. It broke on contact with her skin. "What the…?" She looked at her broken weapon. "That's not good."

"No it isn't!" Rogue punched her so hard she flew across the room.

"Okay," Todd remarked. "You're invulnerable now and super strong. That's pretty cool."

"Come on," Fred called. "This way!" They ran.

Right into the main room with Magneto, Mystique and Sabertooth. "Sorry guys," Fred gulped. "Directions never really were my strong suit."

"Oh really," Todd quipped. "I never would have guessed.

"You fools!" Magneto shouted.

"Let's get out of here!" Todd shouted. Suddenly an iron door closed in front of them. "Or maybe we'll just stay here a while."

"Did you really think you idiots could escape me?" Magneto tossed several metal objects at them.

"We can try!" Rogue shouted as she punched out some of the debris away from her. Fred did so as well. Todd and Remy dodged it as best as they could.

Magneto used his powers to wrap a beam around Rogue and Remy. He tried to catch Todd, hopping around. "Somebody get him!" He shouted.

"Enemy aircraft approaching sir!" Sabertooth shouted. He looked at the controls. "It's the X-Jet!"

"Must I do everything around here myself?" Magneto grumbled. He pushed a button and the skydome opened. He used his powers to push the X-Jet away. "NOT NOW CHARLES! I'M BUSY!"

Fred and Rogue took advantage of the distraction to free themselves. As soon as she pulled Remy free, Rogue charged over to Magneto in order to tackle him. Sabertooth charged her. She kicked him into the wall.

"Boss," Sabertooth grunted. "I think that stuff you gave her worked!"

Magneto sent some more debris at her. Rogue jumped in the air to avoid it. And then she remained in the air, hovering over the ground. She blinked for a second. "Okay how am I doing this?" She asked.

"SHE CAN FLY NOW?" Fred gasped. "What is this? New powers day?"

A siren blared. "What's that?" Rogue asked.

"The intruder alert!" Sabertooth shouted. "We've got company! Sensors indicate at least twenty…now it's thirty individuals on the base! The majority are human! It's those Joes!"

"Told you they'd find us!" Todd stuck his tongue out.

"I told you we needed some more reinforcements!" Sabertooth shouted.

"Let them come," Magneto rumbled. "We will be ready!"

"Here we go," Fred grumbled. "This is gonna be fun."
