The small group approaches the towering walls, pressing flat against the
cold steel of the gigantic wall, sidling along it until they are within 50
feet of the main gate. One of their number floats into the air, nodding
silently to his team mates before taking off away from the wall. The
turrets along the length of the wall immediately open fire, narrowly
missing the escaping mutant. The bullets tear holes through the parched
earth, but none find their mark. Just as the fleeing mutant reaches the
edge of the turrets range of fire, he turns upwards in a long slow arc
before turning himself back towards the fortress. Straight towards the
front gate. The renegade mutant approaches the gate with velocity of a
cruise missile with no signs of slowing down. He slams headlong into the
several feet of steel that is the gate with enough force to shatter every
bone in his body, but quite the opposite happens. An explosion tears
through the near invincible gate and the several guard turrets (and guards)
in the surrounding area. The immensely thick gate door falls backwards,
hitting the ground with a resounding thud that echoes through the entirety
of the camp. Armed guards begin pouring out of the barracks, rushing
towards the scene. A lone man stands amid the wreckage of the gate,
watching as the guards rush towards him, guns ready.
"And there goes our surprise entrance," he says, taking to the air once again. He is Jean-Luc Bauberieux, aka Cruise. A member of the Vigilantes with the power to fly and generate explosions from his body.
The other Vigilantes rush over the demolished gate, immediately engaging the surrounding guards. Among the ranks of the Vigilantes are the former X- Men Chamber, Shadowcat, and Jamie Madrox, also known as the Multiple Man. Also among them is the shape-shifter Mystique, and the former member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, Avalanche.
