Chapter 8: The Honest Truth
Dawn the next day: Scott wakes up Rogue, Bobby, John, and Kitty "Everyone up, Storm spotted them 15 miles north of here, your suits are on your bed get dressed, and girls no make-up no times"
The students slowly drag themselves outta bed, the girls grab their suits and head to the bathroom
"Jean I'm not so sure I want to do this anymore" Rogue approaches Jean
"Don't worry you'll be fine"
Out the window a Black SUV comes flying down the road and swerves to a halt just inches from the gate. A shivering and almost blue Angel hops out of the car, she puts her hands on the bars of the gate and in 5 minutes there's is no gate left just a pile of liquid iron. Everyone else exits the car. (Now normally they wouldn't make an attempt like this during the day, however they know that they were being expected and quite frankly don't care)
Magneto approaches an intercom by the front door "Come on Charles bring the file where we can see it, or we'll come in there and get it"
To much of everyone's surprise Professor opens the door, however, Behind him stands 7 mutants ready to fight "Eric good of you to drop by, we were expecting you. Though I'm not just going to give you this file and we don't have to fight, just take what you already have and go home
"Charles you cease to amaze me, you know as well as I do that its that file there that contains the information I need. And if you won't give it to me like it or not you will fight me"
"you're in over your head, we've got you out numbered" Jean, Storm, Cyclops, Storm, Rogue, Kitty, Bobby, and John advance forward towards Magneto standing on the sides of the professor
"Numbers mean nothing we've got a lot more in strength" Toad, Mystique, Sabertooth, and Angel come from behind the melted gate and stand next to magneto "and you do remember Angel don't you? She's become quite strong, she can beat anyone and everyone you see here, and yes Charles you and me too"
"Angel you look a little blue" John speaks to Angel trying to piss her off
"jealous? 'Cause you know well as I do it's because I'm stronger"
"Please I let you win that fight"
"oh so now you admit I won"
"no that is not what I meant"
"Well then, Charles I hope you're ready for the fight from hell" Immediately at those words Angel turn and approaches Scott, who is closest to the professor, and before he can do anything she kicks vertically up his chin knocking him down, she moves behind the professor and wraps her left arm around his neck and forms a fireball in her right hand
"Now whoever has the file hand them to Magneto now! And if you don't guess who's seen all of this battle they're going too" Storm motions to move behind Angel "If anyone tries to get me before the file are handed over your professor won't live through this, so back up Storm!
"Don't listen to her, keep the file. I know she won't she won't do it" The professor mutters these words as Scott almost moves towards Magneto
Angel chuckles to herself "well then Hun you obviously don't know me very well"
"Angel you're no murderer"
"Then you didn't check up on my past when I came here did you? The police were after a 17 yr. old girl named Charlene Dates namely me, but I moved changed my name and lived in that apartment that is now burnt to the ground, If Magneto ain't got those files in 2 seconds I swear I'll do it"
Scott looks at Jean who nods' knowing Angel was telling truth. Scott Takes out the file and regrettably hands it to Magneto
"Good boy Scott, now Charles if you'll excuse us we've work to do, Angel come on we're getting you a couple more heaters, blue doesn't look good on you" They all get in the car and drive off
"Scott why did you give him the file, on that file there is 100 hundred names of the most recent mutants cerebro has found, and where they're located, now that magneto has this information there's no telling what he'll do"
"I'm sorry professor I couldn't let Angel kill you"
"Like I said she wouldn't have, she's too scared to kill"
"But professor I sensed she was telling the truth about the police being after her and her name being Charlene"
"She was telling the truth, but the police weren't after her for murder, they were after her for starting a animal shelter w/o a license saying she was allowed. But I suppose she knew that if she didn't say what the police were after her for we would know she was telling the truth. But why are you all still here? Go and get that file."
Everyone heads quickly to the room in which the x-jet sleeps. They eventually locate Magneto on a cliff above the beach where a helicopter awaits the brotherhood's return. The x-jet lands cutting off the brotherhood's way to the helicopter
"Don't you ever give up?" Magneto questions them as they come off the jet"
"John you and Bobby take care of Angel, Kitty you and Rogue take Mystique, Storm you take Toad, I'll take care of Magneto, Jean, Sabertooth"
"Alright Angel lets finish that little fight of ours" John challenges Angel
Angel smirks, and now what you've all been waiting, what Magneto and Toad saw in the last chapter, Angel becomes fire, her figure becomes black and every inch of her body is fire "let's go"
Angel does a back flip creating a fireball twice her size and fires it, knocking Bobby and John down w/ a fiery blaze
"ok that's really hot I mean really hot"-Bobby
Angel kneels on the ground and presses two fingers on the ground that form a line of fire that turns and encircles John and Bobby so that now they have a circular wall of fire surrounding them
"Yo Jean how are we supposed to get her if she doesn't stop using her power"
"John I'm kinda busing here" Sabertooth backslaps her knocking her 10 feet in the air and w/ a thud to the ground…Jean uses her powers and levitates him over the cliff and well releases him. Jean turn back to where John and Bobby are… Bobby freezes angel's fire wall that surround them, catches Angel off guard and makes a beautiful ice sculpture of her, however its almost instantly begins melting due to her high body temperature…however by the time she defrosts she is no longer fire
"John get her now!!" –Bobby
John runs at Angel and slams into her hard as he can, if she hadn't caught herself she'd be lying next to Sabertooth
"Toad help me!!" Toad slimes storms whole face and advances towards Angel and is just about to pull her up when Scott shoots Magneto into a tree.
"Toad leave her, he's got the file, that's more important its for the greater good, she's expendable" Toad looks back towards Angel mouths sorry and runs up behind Scott starting a battle between them as Jean tries to get the slime off Storm.
Angel loses her grip w/ one hand "ahhhh help!" he second hand begins to slip
"Bobby I'm gonna have to be an idiot I can't let her fall"
"you put her there!"
"But she wasn't supposed to fall, just grab my feet" John and Bobby runs towards the end of the cliff and John dives off as Angel loses grip w/ her second hand, John luckily catches her however bobby begins to slide towards the end of the cliff not being able to hold that much wait"
"Rogue zap the cat and give a hand here" Rogue takes off her glove as Kitty distracts Sabertooth and Rogue manages to touch his face absorbing his power, then she puts her glove back on and helps Bobby pull John and Angel up. Scott blast Mystique and Toad
"Angel get the files you're the only one still able"-Magneto
"Angel don't you see Magneto doesn't care about you, didn't you hear him, expendable. No one w/ us is expendable its not survival of the fittest" -Jean
"Angel their lying to you, who took care of you through these hard times w/ your power…we did and you know it. They abandoned you. Didn't even try to locate you"-Magneto
"Angel come on you're smart enough to see that he's lying to you, he only wanted you for your mutation he couldn't care less about you, he was willing to let you fall off the cliff for a meaningless file"-Storm

"angel"-Cyclops

Angel covers her ear and kneels on the ground w/ hear head down, being so confused she yells, then what do ya know back into flames. Then she creates a fireball the size of a two story building and sends it towards the brotherhood, then she passes out
