Ch 3.
Logan stood at the front of the group.
"Lets get started." He growled, "Scott, Jean, Kitty, Spyke, Magma, and Storm on team A. Hank, Bobby, Kurt, Rogue, Jamie, and Ellamor of team B." The two groups split up. Ell looked at each group. They were equal with 5 students and a teacher. Storm as the teacher on one and Hank on the other. Ell looked around, wondering what kind of training they were going to do. Logan grabbed an armfum of vests and began to hand them out, telling them to put tehm on. Apparently the vest put and invisible shield around each person, keeping them from getting hurt, but still allowing them to get hit. Ell soon found you they were going to play a cross between capture the flag and lazertag, except instead of using guns, they would use their powers.
Suddenly the whole room started to change. Walls sprouted up making a maze and pits sunk into the the ground. The two teams were to start at opposite sides. Their goal was to take the other teams flag while protecting their own. They had five minutes to stratagize before the game started. Ella's group decided to let Hank gaurd the flag and the rest of the team go try to get the other flag. A warning buzzer went off, the lights dimmed, and fog covered the ground. The start buzzer went off. Ella and two boys she hadn't met went one way while Rogue and Kurt fan the other way. As Ella started to run with the two boys whe looked at the younger one, who smiled.
"Are you new?" he asked.
"Yeah."
"My name is Jamie, nice ta meet ya!!" the boy said as he waved and took a different turn. Ella chuckled and turned to the other boy. He had blue eyes and blonde hair. He smiled at her and extended a hand. She shook it.
"The name is Bobby Drake. Codename Iceman. And you are?"
"Ellanor McKay. no codename yet."
"Ell huh? cool. how old?"
"16"
"Me too!" They both smiled and ran through the maze, crissing and crossing. They reached the center of the maze the same time Scott did. Bobby extended his arm and shot out a stream of ice, covering Scott's bubble armor entirely.
"YES!" Bobby shouted. The ice started to glow red, then Scott's beams shot out. "Here we go again!" Bobby shot a larger ice beam at Scott, grabbed Ell by the arm, and started running.
"Next time, it's your turn!" Bobby shouted. Ella nodded just as Jean ran around the corner to face them. "Shoot!" Bobby urged Ella. She pushed her arm forward and shot out a steady stream of ice towards Jean. It covered her bubble.
"Whoa! your just like me! ICE!" Bobby smiled.
"not quite."She smirked as Jean broke out of the ice. Jean started towards them again, but Ella stretched her hand forward and a huge stream of water was hurled at Jean, knocking her backwards. Bobby grabbed Ella's arm and tugged her out of the way just as a Lazer wash shot where she was just standing.
"Whoa Scott! Careful! Beams on LOW!" He said looking at the metal wall, now with a nice hole through the middle.
"Oh, sorry Bobby." He stammered uncomfortably. But bobby knew why he did it. He and Jean were an 'item' and he was a little more than protective. Bobby grabbed Ella's arm again as Evan shot spikes at them. One grazed the edge of her bubble, giving her a slight jolt. She stepped to one side, where a spike popped out of the ground. Ella gasped.
"Dont' worry, you'll get used to it." Bobby smirked. A siren went off as the dim lights lifted and the fog disapeared.
"What's going on?" Ell asked, scratching her head.
"Someone won."
"Oh, OK." Ell watched as the walls and spikes came down and the pits lifted. Then it looked like a normal room again. Everyone stood around a beaming Jamie, who was holding the other teams flag.
"Yes!" Kurt cried, jumping into the air. The wo teams split up and went into the locker rooms to shower.
