Chapter-3
Wolverine crouched low, "Start the ball, Cajun."
"As you wish," Gambit pulls out three cards from the deck he always carries, charges them with energy and flings them at the Grunts."
"The games a foot." Skymaster says as he rises expanding his wings and as his wings begin to expand they begin to glow gold. He fires three quick force beams destroying the cards before they get anywhere near the Grunts, "Spread out and take them. Watch each other's backs."
Sam stepped out from the others he was wearing the goggles but the only one not wearing a mask or gloves, he spread his arms wide, closed his eyes and said softly, "Come to me." He pictured his companions coming to him by fazing through the walls. Almost immediately the six black space creatures were in a circle around Sam. One then moved to Sam and went into his uniform the creature covered his entire body including his head and hands that had been exposed and Dark Force now stood in the room. Another flatten out and Dark Force stepped up on it, the companion quickly covered his feet so he could not fall off. He drew the two foot staff that hung at his side and with a shake it expanded to six feet. Dark Force was now ready for business.
Cyclops points at Skymaster, "Rogue, the wings, that's your target. Clip them."
"Be my pleasure Sugar."
As Rogue heads toward Skymaster Iceman moves away from the group forming an ice ramp for him to slide on.
Mystic sees Iceman separate himself from the others, he steps out to meet him, he had been carrying his duster over his arm, now he grabs it and begins to spin above his head. It flattens out, he then sticks up his arms, the duster settles down over him, he swirls around and with the flaring duster covering his hands he comes up holding a gun in each one. He points them at Iceman, who is heading toward the Grunts on an ice ramp, he begins firing blasting the ramp to pieces.
Jean turns on Stefano, "What's going on here? Where did those guns come from? He wasn't wearing any guns and that duster was lying flat across his arm, no way they were in the duster."
"It's Mystic's power. He created them. He can create just about any kind of weapon he wants out of what he calls mystic energy. He just thinks about what he wants then he reaches under his duster and pulls it out."
"Why weren't we told about this?"
"If I'm not mistaken it was your Scott Summers who didn't want to know about the Grunts ahead of time so this would be more of a challenge to your X-men. I got the feeling at the time that Mr. Summers didn't think much of my little group."
Jean turns back to watch the danger room again.
Rogue hit Skymaster with a flying tackle any pro football player would have been proud of. She drove her shoulder into his midsection and drives him into the back wall of the danger room. The only thing that saved him was his force shield and the shock absorbing uniform. Black spots still flew around in his vision after impacting the wall. Rogue quickly circles him and grabbed his wings, she first crushes them in her arms and then she tries to rip them from his back
"It appears Mr. Phelan that our Rogue is about to put an end to your Skymaster." Hank stated with a smirk.
"Don't count your chickens yet Dr. McCoy."
Rogue had her arms wrapped around the wings and her foot in the middle of Skymaster's back, "Well sugar, better luck next time."
Brian smiled to himself, it appeared that not one of them remembered that his powers were his own, he first used his force shield to loosen Rogue's grip on his wings then using his ability to fly he quickly spun forward and stopped suddenly. Rogue let out a squeal as she when over the top of Skymaster and fell halfway to the floor before she stopped herself with her flying ability. She turned around to look up at Skymaster as he put the palms of his hands together pointing them at Rouge.
The double force beams hit her full forcing her down to and into the metal floor where she lay stunned.
Skymaster then began to manipulate his wings. The skeletal armature of the wings was made of reinforced adamantium they were moved by synthetic muscles in the wings. The wings quickly straightened and smoothed looking like they had never been touched, "Teletrix."
"Here."
"Give Rogue a short ride."
Teletrix could see Rogue crawling out of the dent she had made in the floor
BLINK
She was standing beside Rogue she reached down and helped her to her feet holding onto her arm.
Rogue smiled at her, "Thanks."
"My pleasure."
BLINK
Teletrix was standing in the school parking lot near the bus they had arrived in Rogue was on her knees holding her stomach.
BLINK
Teletrix was back with the rest of the Grunts.
"She's gone!" Jean rushed to the glass of the observation booth, "Where is Rogue?"
"Probably not as far away as she could have been." Stefano answered.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Teletrix has the ability to teleport to any place new that she can see, however she also has the ability to teleport to anyplace she has physically been to before. Time and distance don't seem to matter, nor does it seem to matter if the place has or is moving such as an airplane or other vehicle."
Jean turned to look at Stefano, "You're saying that if she has been on, say an airliner, that it doesn't matter where in the world that airliner is she can teleport to it?"
"Yes."
"But to teleport someplace new she must be able to see where she is going?"
"Yes."
Jean shook her head, "That's amazing."
Wolverine waited until Skymaster had destroyed the cards Gambit had thrown, and then using the smoke as cover he attacked. He raced forward and leaped through the wall of smoke.
When the cards exploded Voltrix switched on her goggles heads-up display to a FLIR, Forward Looking InFerred, system and she could easily see Wolverine's attack through the smoke. She stepped forward and got ready, she held out a hand with sparks of electricity jumping between her fingers.
Wolverine came through the smoke and standing before him like she was waiting on him was the Grunt called Voltrix, since Cyclops hadn't gotten any detail other than their names he wasn't sure what her power or powers might be, but judging from the bright sparks jumping around her fingers he had a good idea and he also had a good idea that it was going to hurt like hell.
The Grunts had been briefed by Brian and Sam on the X-men and their abilities. So Voltrix knew about Wolverine and she hit him hard. The bolt blew him back into the arms of Gambit. Knowing Wolverine she also knew it wouldn't stop him long if at all but it would slow him down long enough for her to find out if Brian was all right.
Gambit lowered wolverine to the floor, "You alright homme?"
"I'll live. Get that witch. I'll be back in the fight in just a minute."
Gambit moved forward toward Voltrix. She shot a bolt of electricity at him which he sidestepped and at the same time he flung several cards in the direction of Dark Force, Voltrix and Speed Demon.
Dark Force's companions quickly smashed the cards heading toward him, Voltrix dropped to a knee and fired quick electric bolts at the cards heading for her, and Speed Demon simply ran around the ones heading for her.
The wind suddenly began to swirl around the Grunts causing Dark Force to look up and see Storm rising up in the air. He smiled to himself at the sight she was magnificent. The humidity was also beginning to go up, he knew from his days here that Storm was doing this to give the Iceman plenty of moisture to work with. The smell of ozone also began to fill the air. "Voltrix."
"Here."
Dark Force pointed at Storm, "There's your target, you are the only one who has a chance at stopping her."
"I'm on it." Once she saw that Skymaster was up she headed for Storm.
Iceman had hit the floor hard from Mystic's blasting of his ice sled; pressing his hands on the floor he quickly froze the floor under Mystic making it very slick, "Cyclops hit him!"
Cyclops had been watching the battle assessing the Grunts powers and the best way to handle them he had to admit, if only to himself, that they were a pretty powerful team. Hearing Iceman call he looked and saw that he had frozen the floor under Mystic. He touched his visor and shot an optic blast at Mystic.
Mystic saw the optic blast coming he turned the side of his duster to the blast. The optic blast bounced off the duster and the uniform's shock absorbing properties kelp him from being hurt however the blast combined with the slick floor took him off his feet. As he flailed his arms about trying to keep his balance he lost his guns.
Iceman could hardly believe that Cyclops eye blast had bounced off the guy, but at least he was off his feet and he had lost his guns. He quickly projected his power toward Mystic forming a huge block of hard ice around him at least three feet thick. He just hoped that he would get out before he suffocated. Iceman then quickly formed another ice sled and headed up and toward the Grunts.
Mystic saw the ice forming around him but the floor was too slick for him to get out of the way, as soon as he was enclosed he activated his uniform's internal life support system. The uniform used a magnetic field to seal the uniform and then it turned on the rebreather system. Adam knew he would have an hour before he ran out of air. He rolled over and the same time pulled out two guns. He put the two guns together to make a bigger more powerful gun. He then began to blast the walls and after several shots cracks began to form.
