Chapter Ten: Escape
At the X mansion Scott paced the conference room uneasily. He was at a loss, all of the female member's of the team; except Storm; where gone. The professor and the other adult's knew that whatever happened was caused by Magneto, because 1: he couldn't locate them on cerebro, 2: Magneto's team hadn't been at school all week, and 3: both teams had been called out at the same time for early dismissal. But, Magneto's reason was not the same as Professor Xavier's. The professor had called the student's because he knew where the machine for blocking out a mutant's powers was, and he had called them so they could get it first. Now the Professor was trying to find Magneto's lair, and so fair it wasn't located in South or North America. He was now searching Europe.
Kurt teleported into the room "Have you found anyving?"
The professor shook his head, and then someone entered his mind. Professor Xavier can you hear me?
Who is this?
Pyro.please hurry trace my thoughts. Their hurting, please come.
Keep talking, the trace isn't complete.
He did experiments.they can't use their powers..
Found your location. We will be there. the professor smiled at Kurt "We've found them."
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
The girls all lay in their cots, in the glass room. Each was in pain from the unholy experiments that had been done on them. Some of them were taking it better than others. Each of them tried to help the other feel stronger, but it is hard to cheer up a friend when you yourself are depressed.
John walked into the glass room, and toward a cot that a girl with dark green hair laying around her head like an angel was sleeping. He sat at the end of the cot, and watched the girl breathe in and out ^^Hurry Professor.please. ^^ He pulled out a key from his pocket, and moved toward Damia's neck. He put the key into the lock of the choker, and unlocked it, and pulled it off of her. She jerked up, almost hitting him in the head.
Her eyes widened "John?"
"Here." He handed her the key. "Help your mates. I called your professor, and he's on his way."
She smiled and gave him a quick kiss on the check "Thank you." Tears flew down her face, but she quickly got up, and walked to each of her friend's cots. Rogue was first, Damia shook the girl gently.
"Rogue." she whispered.
The striped haired girl opened her eyes and looked up to the person awakening her. "Dam-"
"John gave me the key to get these collars off." She told her, and unlocked the collar around her friend's neck.
"Why?" Rogue asked.
"Because deep down he's a good guy." Damia smiled. John left the room, to make sure that no one was watching or near by.
Damia unlocked the collars and disposed of them under the cots, each girl was now free from her collar. They were all very weak from the tests, but their wanting of freedom overpowered their pain.
"Let's go." Rogue said. "Kitty phase us out of here."
Kitty grabbed each girl's hand excluding Rogue who took a small taste of her power so she could get through by herself. When they had exited the glass room, they had to find the place where the pods where kept.
"Which way?" Jubilee asked, as she looked down the hall at the fork in the road. Suddenly they heard footsteps behind them. The girls got into battle stance.
"Whose there?" Jean called barely above a whisper.
"Well, it's a little late for G'day." Pyro came into view.
"Pyro?" Damia asked. "Are you coming with us?"
He smiled "Is that alright love?"
"Yes." She answered.
"Wait!" Kitty began "How can we like trust him?"
"He's the one who gave me the key." Damia told her.
"Oh." Kitty replied, and then shrugged "Okay like let's go."
"Left." Pyro said, and the girls turned to the direction he told them.
Damia walked next to Pyro, every once in a while glancing at him. They contined to walk down the silver hallway, for what seemed like hours. They then entered a room filled with pods.
"How do they work?" Jubilee asked running over to one. But before anyone could answer the pods opened and the brotherhood and the rest of Magneto's henchmen came out of them.
"Where do you think your going?" Wanda asked them, her hands on her hips.
"Out." Rouge replied and ran at her. Wanda hex her quickly, she wasn't the one she was after. Wanda ran at Damia but John shot a flame at her.
"John what the hell?" She asked him.
"Sorry love but I had to help them." He told her.
Meanwhile Kitty and Amara were fighting of Quicksilver and Avalanche.
"Sorry pretty Kitty, but I can't let you leave." Avanlache told her as she fell from one of his tremors.
"Funny." She got up, "I like don't remember asking for your permission." She leaped at him and karate kicked him in his groin. He cried in pain, and threw a punch which she phased.
Quicksilver was running circles around Amara, and she was beginning to get a bit of a headache. The speed demon stopped for a quick second and smiled at her, and then continued his circles around her preventing her from getting closer to freedom. She turned to her magma form and began to melt the floor around her. Eventually road runner stepped on the scolding floor causing him to fall. She then threw some hot magma at his feet, knowing that it would stop him.
Sabertooth was leaping at Rahne but she was quick in her dog form and jumped out of his way, annoying him. She ran up to him and began to bit him, and scratch him. He was having a bit of trouble getting the girl off of him, so with a powerful blow he punched her in the stomach causing her to fly back into a pod, and change back to her human form.
"Rahne!" Jubilee yelled from her fire work display, that was electrocuting Colossus. She ran to her friend, who had made a rather big indent on the pod.
"I'm fine." She told her friend even though her body felt otherwise.
"Oh God where are they?" Jubilee cried as she scanned the room watching her friends fight. They were out numbered significantly. Rogue had taken out the guards, Amara had slowed down Quicksilver, Kitty was still fighting Avalanche, Damia had rooted Sabertooth to the ground but he was quickly tarring the roots to shreads, John was by her side keeping the Scarlet Witch at a safe distance, and Jean was managing to keep the Blob at bay, and Jubilee was throwing fireworks at Colossus, and Toad. Unfortunately they couldn't continue this for long. One was down, and it was to a hopeless point. It was about the time the X-men should show up.
"Johnny boy, you need to learn how to stay out of women's affairs." The Scarlett Witch told him as she hexed him and kicked him in the shin. Wanda was a more than pissed that John had become friendly with one of the X- Geeks, especially right after they broke up. She wanted revenge on the girl, not on the man. They way she saw it is that it would hurt him more if she hurt his girlfriend than hurt him.
Damia lost her concentration at the sight of John getting hurt, and she ran over to him. "John?"
"Apples." (Fine.) He smiled at her, but before she could respond she was thrown against the walk by a giant hex. Her body slammed against the metal walk, and her body slid to he floor. She struggled to get to her feet.
"I wouldn't have done that if I was you." Damia scowled at the ravened haired girl.
"What are you gonna do about it?" Wanda taunted.
"THIS!" she yelled as sharp leaves flew at Wanda, slashing the girl's body, ripping her uniform in places. The cuts were deep, and blood trickled from them.
Wanda scowled at the girl. "Nice try, Venus!" She threw a hex but Venus managed to get out of its reach. She heard a loud scream of anger come from the witch.
"Looks like you're losing your touch!" Damia taunted. Wanda concentrated on creating a full power hex. During Wanda's powering up Venus contemplated on what to do, she decided to use her ultimate attack, but this attack came at a high cost.her consciousness.
"John." she tapped his shoulder.
"Yeah?" he asked.
"I'm not going to be awake very long, so could you make sure I don't get killed by being unconscious.
"What?" He didn't like this idea. Suddenly Rogue landed on top of Damia causing them to fall to the cold metal floor.
Suddenly a loud jet entered the large metal room, and their team mates came out of the jet.
"Rogue!" Kurt yelled and teleported over to his sister who had landed on top of Venus.
"Ah'm fine." She told him. "Let's get outta here!"
Kurt nodded and grabbed onto his sister, Venus who held tightly to John and teleported them to the jet.
"Vait!" Kurt yelled when he saw John had happened to come along on the port. "Vat is he doing vith us?!"
"No time to explain." Venus replied. "Get the others; Rogue and I will handle this."
Jean get everyone on the jet now! Damia told her.
Working on it.
Damia turned to Rogue and told her "Absorb me just enough so I don't pass out."
Rogue nodded, and touched Damia's flesh, absorbing her. When she got enough, she pulled her hand away.
"Everyone on?" Venus asked.
Kurt had just teleported in with Rahne and Jubilee with him. "Yes." Kurt replied.
"Rogue absorb Jean." Damia told her.
"What?" Jean questioned.
Venus wasn't in the mood they had to act fast. "JUST DO IT!"
Rogue absorbed Jean, and then came over to Venus. "Let's roll sugah." Rogue said.
"Take my hand." Venus told her, "And read my thoughts to know what to do."
"You better hurry their coming!" Sunspot pointed out.
"FLY!" Venus screamed and the jet began to hover in the air.
Venus and Rogue grabbed hands firmly and Rogue read Venus's mind for directions.
The two concentrated, a feeling of gravity came over them. The ground below began to quake, as vines erupted from the ground wrapping themselves quickly around each of Magneto's men. A large green plant that looked like a Venus fly trap arose from the middle; the vines were connected to the plant and each vine came close to the mouth of the plant, and flung them into its mouth. They stayed in the plant for a few seconds, and it spat them out and they landed on the ground unconscious from the poison inside the large plant.
"WHOA!" Jamie said as he watched out of the window. The others we just as surprised, unfortunately the two girl's were unable to see what their work had done. They had passed out on the floor. John rushed to Damia, as Remy did to Rogue.
"Are they okay?" Jamie asked running to Venus's side.
"Yeah, she'll be apples. (Fine.) She told me that it would make them become unconscious." John told the younger boy who held Damia in his arms.
"What is he doing here?" Scott asked suddenly noticing Pyro's presence.
"He saved us." Jean told Scott.
"What?!" Cyclops was bewildered, how could a bad guy like Pyro help out one of them?
"I guess you were like wrong about him." Kitty said matter of factly.
Pyro paid no attention; it was on the girl in his arms. Making sure that she was alright, and safe like she had asked.
