Chapter 5
Charmed and all it's characters belong to the creator of Charmed, X men Evolution and all it's characters belong to Marvel.
P.S.: No offence to Sesame Street or Barney. Sorry... P.P.S: Lots of apologies and luff to my darling beta reader, as I typed this chapter in the early hours of the morning, leading to horrendous and glaring mistakes, so sorry yx...
Oh yes, thanks to all my reviewers, *muax muax* love you all, now go give a little love to my beta reader, currently available at fanfiction.net - Allison Alliterates Amicably.
Scott led the way as they stepped into the metallic room; he flicked on the lights casually as he said, " This is the danger room, where the X men train. If anyone's up for a challenge I could turn it on for you..."
"Why not?" replied Cole confidently.
" Well, then - Jean, Phoebe, could you guys please leave the room? I shall just be upstairs at the controls; the view up there's better too anyway."
Cole gave Phoebe a quick goodbye kiss as she scuttled out of the room with Jean. Seeing him do that made anger rise up inside Scott. It wasn't only anger, but a mixture of both anger or jealousy, he couldn't tell - whichever it was, it only served to make Scott feel more malicious than ever, as he made his way to the control room. With some rather unpleasant and sadistic thoughts running through his head, he started cranking the controls.
Jean was watching Scott, and she had noticed the expression that had appeared on his face, it made her very mad. She decided that she would have to get back at Scott, but perhaps on some other day. In the meantime, she would have to try and keep that jerk (Cole) out of danger. Scott decided a level 10 would do for now, as he watched on eagerly, like Phoebe and Jean did.
In the danger room simulation, Cole was in some dingy, dark and narrow lane between two old abandoned buildings. He knew he had to be prepared for anything. He quickly made an energy ball and kept it behind his back. He took one step out of the lane, eagerly watching for any movements. Suddenly, five razor sharp discs came flying at him from a wall, racing towards him at different heights, slicing cleanly through the still air. He easily dodged them by shimmering to the top of an adjacent building. Phoebe gasped in horror as some fireballs appeared out of nowhere, with Cole just narrowly escaping them. Then came the monsters. They couldn't really be counted as monsters - Cole'd seen monsters on Sesame Street, and neither were they demons. Whatever they were supposed to be, they were just computer images, but he learned soon enough as one of them lunged forward with a sword, slicing through Cole's jacket and drawing blood, that they could hurt.
In the observation room.
Scott could clearly see the blood seeping through Cole's black collared shirt - Cole had been wearing a leather jacket, but that had not prevented the sword from going in deep: deep enough to procure so much blood that it dripped onto his beige pants, colouring it a rusty shade of red. Scott didn't feel as good as he thought he would when he had "defeated" Cole, and he tried to shut the computer off, but found that the computer had found a mind of its own, at this point, he started panicking.
Jean noticed Scott's frantic expression as he repeatedly pressed the same series of buttons; so she asked Scott quietly, so Phoebe wouldn't hear them -- not that she was paying attention, since she was too busy watching Cole, "Scott, what are you doing?"
Scott replied anxiously, his eyes never once leaving Cole, " I'm trying to stop this crazy thing, only it refuses to stop."
"Oh my god, I'd better call the Professor," Jean said, biting on her lip.
*Professor, we've run into a problem at the danger room, would you please come and help us, now? *
*I'll send Logan and I'm on my way -- how's Cole doing in the danger room anyway now? *
*Not so good Professor, he got a nasty cut from a sword...*
*I don't think we should be very worried, but I'm on my way now. *
"Scott, the Professor's on his way, so is...Logan."
Scott knew he would get into a lot of trouble for this, but it was a life and death matter.
Back in the danger room.
Cole worked hard at dodging them, trying to find enough time so he could make an energy ball -- they were getting on his nerves and he was growing bored playing with them. He shimmered to the top of the building, then shouted, " Leo! Where on earth are you?"
Leo appeared right beside him, "Here. I'm supposed to be helping the Charmed ones, not you; if it hadn't been that Phoebe had been asking for the exact same thing. Oh that is a nasty gash, need me to fix it up?"
"Why do you think I called you for?"
"I wouldn't know..."
"Well hurry up and fix it, I've got a bunch of insane ugly people waiting to kill me."
As if on cue, all five of them appeared behind both Leo and Cole. Cole casually threw an energy ball at them, killing off two of them. After that, he charged straight at the evil computer minion holding the sword, catching him off-guard: the minion fell to the ground with a thud, allowing Cole ample opportunity to grab his sword, stabbing the minion through the heart. Cole grabbed his sword and stabbed him through the heart, saying, " Now that felt good."
The other two, seeing Leo intruding into the fight, ran towards him, holding their weapons out, aiming at whatever part of the body they could reach. Leo was terribly amused, as he orbed off, causing both of them to fall off the edge of the building.
"Violent, aren't they?" Cole said.
"Very violent, but not very smart; not much of a sense of balance either." Leo replied sarcastically.
"Well, I think that's the last of it," Cole muttered to himself, but saying it loud enough for Leo to hear him.
Leo felt the ground shaking madly, "Well, I don't think so
In the observation room.
Scott was amazed at what he saw: Leo could heal people, instantly. And level 10 danger room seemed to pose no danger or even so much as a threat to them -- he suddenly felt very immature and stupid.
Logan rushed into the room, shouting at Scott, "What do you think you're doing? You think this is fun? Trying to kill our guests?"
Scott didn't reply, but Jean knew he regretted it; he was staring at the ground, not daring to look into Logan's eyes that were flashing with anger.
"Let me at the controls now!" Logan hollered, and Scott stood up moving away quietly as he let Logan take over the controls.
Logan glanced through the glass pane -- none of them look terribly hurt, in fact they seemed to be enjoying it, but that didn't make it right. He set about trying to shut the computer off.
In the Danger room.
Cole felt the ground he was standing on start to shake violently, and he wondered what was going to happen next. He walked over to the edge of the building and looked down, only to see a huge crack forming in the middle of the road. A slimy purple creature surfaced through the crack, waving its many tentacles and glaring at him with its huge white eyes. Cole was immediately revolted by the sight, and he shouted to Leo, "Hey Leo, they sent Barney's twin over to fight us."
Leo stifled a laugh, but when he saw the slimy purple thing at the bottom, he grimaced. Then, when people started appearing all over the street, a rather shocked Leo said, "Are we supposed to save them?"
Cole replied nonchalantly, " You go save the innocents, and I'll go kick purple monster butt."
"Be my guest."
Leo orbed off, reappearing at the street. He grabbed hold of a couple and told them to hold their children's hands, after which he then orbed them off to the top of the building where Cole was. As soon as they had reached the top, they disappeared as quickly as they had appeared.
Cole, on the other hand, sent numerous energy balls flying towards the monster's huge gaping mouth, but it didn't seem to be working. Cole was too busy with the monster at that moment to notice a young girl walking towards him from behind.
The girl was sweet looking, about 4 years old, and she had a smile plastered on her face as she continued walking towards Cole. Suddenly, she ran straight at him, crashing into him as spikes started appearing on her body. The spikes pierced into Cole's leg. He yelled out in pain and flung the girl away. He turned towards her and carried her up in the air, not caring about the spikes entering his palms, and flung her straight at the monster's mouth. The monster gladly swallowed the treat, but soon started choking. Soon all that was left was a large pool of purple goo. Then, the room rearranged itself to its original state; they had conquered the level.
Leo orbed and Cole shimmered into the control room. Once he was there, Cole collapsed on the floor, breathing heavily. A worried Phoebe knelt down beside him, placing his head on her lap, softly cooing to him, "Cole, honey, wake up. It's over, wake up. You're safe now."
Scott turned away; he knew that he could never be in a relationship with Phoebe, and he even made a fool of himself in front of her. He knew he would be in for a tongue-lashing and a huge punishment once the Professor came.
Phoebe asked Leo, "What are you waiting for, can't you heal him?"
Leo looked sufficiently embarrassed as he healed Cole, soon after, then Cole sat up, groaning while he held his head.
