A battle ensued. It was two against one. Kurt Pastorius and Arlee Hicks, also known as Refrax and Buff against the X-Man known commonly referred to as Sunspot, or Roberto DaCosta were in for the battle of their lives. Two bad for Roberto they wanted to make it two against zero. A small circular clearing had been burnt down in the forests of Westchester becoming almost a ring for the three mutants to fight. Roberto turned pure black and small black dots appeared in the air around him as he lifted Refrax off the ground and sent him flying into a tree only to be sucker punched from behind by Buff who had been waiting for the right moment to join in on the brawl. Roberto barely felt the blow but was all the same pissed off by it. He turned and fired an energy blast from his hand aimed for Buff's head. He normally wouldn't have done something that extreme to a girl but if she wanted to fight, a fight she would get. Some sort of equal energy blast from behind him interrupted what he had in store for Arlee. He turned back around to deal with Refrax before he would deal with the girl. That plan was shot to hell when Buff put him in a sleeper hold from behind. It was an amateur move on both his and her part. He shouldn't have turned his attention away from her and she should've known if a blow to the back of a head wasn't going to take him out, a sleeper hold had about a snowball's chance in hell. He reached behind him and grabbed Buff's hair and threw her over in her teammate's direction. She landed with a thud, a very loud thud at that, but was back on her feet ready to go back at it. "You guys just don't know when to give up, do you?" "Refrax, activate attack plan one." "Not exactly the response I was thinking of but it'll do." Roberto jumped into action tackling the girl who seemed to be the brains of the operation to the ground. As a result, her little friend fired another laser blast except this time into his side. Normally, he wouldn't have paid it any mind but he felt it. He shouldn't have felt that when using his powers. That's when he first noticed it. It was getting darker. The sun was going down. That just made things a whole lot harder for Bobby. Buff retaliated by kicking the momentarily distracted mutant off of her and taking a position of power. She pounced on the continuously weakening mutant and began to choke the life out of him. Refrax took position next to him to watch. "Mind if I spice things up a little?" Buff didn't answer but Refrax always took silence for a yes. Another laser was released from his eyes and made contact with Sunspot but instead of wiggling in pain, the laser seemed to bring the mutant back from the edge of death. "What do ya think ya doing Kurt?" "What do you think I'm doing? I'm helping you killing him." "It don't seem to be working very well, now does it?" Roberto placed his hand on the side of Buff's face and released an energy blast removing the menace with ease. He then took to the air with newfound vigor. Absorbing the laser blasts from Refrax allowed Roberto to run from the fight instead of trying to take on two mutants who wanted him dead at the time or day when his powers only worked against him.
"I don't think you understand Kurt. Emplate feeds on bone marrow. He's obviously here for Sarah." Explained an aggravated Warren. "I'm perfectly aware of that Warren. But I don't think us going into the sewers, where they've been living for who knows how long, to try and stop them and I don't think we should use Sarah for bait." "I agree. I apologize for not getting here sooner but I didn't want to give up the search for Bobby." Monet lied as she entered the conversation uninvited. "Using Sara for bait may seem like a good idea now but when my brother wants to feed he'll find a way to." "I assume you've been keeping tabs on what's been happing Monet." Inquired Warren. "You assumed correctly Mr. Worthington. The most sensible plan of action would be for us to wait for my brother to make the first move. His hunger will get the best of him eventually." "That seems-" Kurt's sentence was cut short as an alarm went off in throughout the campus. They had visitors.
"Destroy everything." Marius ordered. And with those two words, the remaining Hellions went into a frenzy. Wrap went into a stampede and began tearing down everything in his way. Anyone close by would be reminded of Juggernaut but he and Cain were different in two very important ways and M was in the mood to remind him what they were. The woman was out of the War Room like a bolt of lighting and stood before Wrap thoroughly pissed. He made the first move but the fist made to rearrange M's face was intercepted and Wrap found himself thrown through another wall. "Please try and keep the property damage to a minimal M!" warned Nightcrawler who was busy dodging energy blast from Ebon. A large hand grabbed him from behind. "Go ahead and blast him Ebon. Quick!" ordered Bulwark as he kept the mutant securely in place. The women responded with uncanny reflexes. The blast made contact with Kurt. A scream penetrated the sounds of the riot and stopped everyone in the tracks as Nightcrawler squirmed and stopped moving. "Kurt!" Yelled Warren who like everyone else was busy dealing with the New Hellions. Two teleporters to be precise. One looked like a living mummy with a giant mouth where his abdomen should be and a purple girl with pointed ears. Warren wasn't quite sure but he couldn't place the purple girl somewhere else before but for now he was busy fending both of them off. "Clarice! Vincente! Go find the brats and then we're out of here." Ordered Emplate from the same spot he had been during the entire battle. The purple girl teleported away and left Warren alone with Murmur, the living mummy. She appeared next to who must have been Vincente. He grabbed him and both were gone in the blink of an eye.
"They're in the attic." Vincente told Clarice just moments before they both arrived in the attic. They looked around for what they were here for, Artie and Leech. "I can tell you why." Came a voice from the shadows. Before the Hellions could react two bone spikes were hurtled at the mutants. Clarice was stabbed in the shoulder and the other spike went right into the other mutant's heart. He took his last breath and fell to the floor. "Score." Marrow whispered. Clarice pulled a steel javelin from a quiver on her back and flung it from where the voice had originated. "Quick Leech!" Sarah screamed at the young mutant as the sight of the javelin. She normally wouldn't have asked for help but all she knew was that the woman was a teleporter and who knows what else. The mutant fearing for his 'surrogate' mother's life activated his power-damping field to an extent he had never used them. The entire campus was encased in the field. Leech's power-damping field only canceled out powers it didn't stop the javelin as Marrow found out when the steel tipped javelin lodged itself in Marrow's arm. She pulled the thing out like it was nothing and threw it back at the teleporter with deadly accuracy. The javelin stabbed Clarice just beneath her rib cage. "Leech, Artie, make a run for it. Leech, don't be afraid to use your field."
