CHAPTER 10
Pirate gathered everyone together and told them that water was antidote to the mind control serum. Then they worked on a plan. They had a layout of the building and the route inside was easy except for one teensy-weensy itty-bitty little problem. THE ENTRANCE WAS BEING GUARDED BY A GIGANTIC SEA SERPENT! So after the not so small task of getting around that obstacle, they would be free and clear.
There were a lot of crazy ideas, mostly coming from Bobby or Iceman as he liked to be called. The blue-eyed blond-haired boyfriend of Rogue was not taking the situation very seriously. "Why doncha just let me freeze 'im?" he asked. Pirate was getting fed up. "Gee I don't know, maybe it's because if you froze it, IT COULD FALL OVER ONTOP OF THE BASE AND KILL EVERYONE INSIDE INCLUDING MY PARENTS!!" she shrieked at him. He backed down after that.
Jean, the telekinetic brown-eyed red-head said she might be able to hold the serpent off with her telekinesis. However, everyone, especially Scott a.k.a. Cyclops, Jean's brown haired, sunglasses wearing, optic blast shooting fiancé, agreed that it was far too dangerous and highly unlikely that she would be able to hold off such a large beast.
Rogue, the brown-eyed beauty, with two white streaks in her otherwise auburn hair, suggested that she touch the beast. However, no one was sure if her life-force sapping abilities worked on anything other than humans and they didn't feel that these were the right circumstances under which to find out.
Kurt and Logan were pretty much useless in this case. That left Pirate and Ororo a.k.a. Storm, the young, white haired, African, weather manipulating girlfriend of Kurt a.k.a. Nightcrawler. Kurt was the blue skinned, yellow eyed, sharp toothed, demon tailed, three fingered, teleporting boyfriend of Ororo.
Everyone was deep in thought trying to think of how they could make things work using only Pirate and Storm when suddenly, it hit Pirate: "Water conducts electricity!" she exclaimed.
"That's it!" agreed Ororo. "If you shoot water at de serpent, I could send a bolt of lightning into it. Dat would electrocute de serpent, killing it instantly!" and so, with their plan ready they headed off to the X-Jet.
