"Funny. I thought the words were 'come quietly and nobody will get hurt.' " Wolverine growled, not liking one bit the way these government agents were acting
"What makes you think we will come with you at all?" Magneto asked firmly. "The way I see it is the only reason we would come with you was if you had an advantage over us, which I can clearly see you don't." All the mutants, regardless of their team, grouped together like a herd of any animal does to protect their own. The way they were positioned, everyone had their backs covered by someone.
"Surrender now, or we WILL open fire!!" The sergeant yelled.
"I would like to see you try!!" Magneto shouted as his fingers pulsed.
"Fire away!!!" All of them pulled the triggers but not a single one issued a bullet. They tried over and over again but because they were metal it was an easy job for the Master of Magnetism.
All the others stood defiantly facing the agents who now pulled out tasers. Each standing side by side against the same foe, disregarding the fights they had been in prior to this. Magneto next to Storm, Siryn next to Toad, Cyclops next to Blob, Betsy next to the White Queen, Wolverine next to Gambit, Iceman next to Pyro and so on and so forth. The agents began to rush them as each began whipping out their powers.
Toad slimed a couple and then Blob rammed into them. Cyclops blasted a couple weapons and vehicles, careful not to hurt the people. Gambit tossed charged card after charged card and Boom Boom tossed time bomb after time bomb. Rogue began rocking the earth but not as strongly as she had before.
"Wha?!? It's fadin' fast. Ah cahn't git this out full power no more!!" Rogue yelled as she ducked to dodge some weapons firing. As she spoke, Avalanche regained consciousness. No one needed to fill him in, in order to know what was going on and what he needed to do. He had heard what Rogue had said.
"Not to worry, I'll take care of that!" the ground which was barely rumbling now shook full force as several large cracks separated them from the government people. Jean, like Scott, not wanting the people to get hurt used her telekinesis to protect them from Lance's rocks. Kitty so far had no use, but then noticed a bit distant from where they were was an unconscious Pietro from when he and Rogue touched, unwittingly.
"Someone do something!" She yelled as she began running in that direction. So far nothing had hit him yet but it was bound to do so soon if nobody got him out of there. Unable to simply drag him by his hands, she barely got a grip around his waist and struggled to heave his figure out of the crossfire. Jean used her telekinesis to help just in time to dodge a round of bullets. Her and Kitty looked upward at Magneto to see him struggling to hold back everything, the bullets, the guns, the vehicles and holding it for this long was tiresome. His powers were beginning to fade from holding them for so long. Kitty still hung onto the unconscious Pietro as she crouched to avoid getting shot.
The three telepaths stood side by side, shoulder to shoulder, and grasped each other's hands firmly so they could combine their minds into one. This was the most affective move as they were able to keep any of these outsiders from coming closer than 100 yards, making it much harder to aim from a farther distance, especially if they can't think.
Siryn was struggling to scream but Toad's slime still held her mouth shut tight. Toad was trying to wrench it off her face by holding one arm around her neck in a headlock and the other was trying to pull the sticky goo off of her.
"Man, the irony. If I hadn' done this then you could be screamin' their heads off right now." Siryn only glared at him. Obviously it made no difference whether he was sorry for it now because if they didn't get it off then something might go wrong and they'd all get captured.
"Stand back." Cyclops said, noticing their predicament, lifting a finger to his visor. Siryn's eyes widened in panic as she stuck out her hands straight out as if to say 'don't you do that or then I'll have to pick my face up off the ground.'
"Ya know? I'm jus' guessing but I think she doesn't want you to do that." Toad told him.
"Well maybe if you hadn't slimed her in the first place--"
"How was I supposed to know this would happen?!?" He gestured his hands all around, meaning all the government agents now rushing them. The two went on bickering. Iceman spotted this situation and came over, walking right past Toad and Cyclops.
"Don't you worry your pretty little head!" He said with his trademark grin. Siryn's expression became a little more relaxed at the sight of Bobby. He then outstretched an arm and froze her solid.
"Wha--?!?" Both Toad and Cyclops whipped around at this, both their faces saying 'why the hell did you do that?'.
Iceman then raised an arm and karate chopped the ice figure near the head and all of the ice crumbled and fell to the ground. Once unfrozen, Siryn's face was slime-less. All of them turned their attention towards the battle, which had begun to worsen.
"I think it's time for a little boost for our side." Siryn said slyly, rubbing her hands together. Without even taking a step into the air but floating upwards from where she stood, she flew so she was the highest above the scene. She took in a deep breath, every X-man or Brotherhood member who saw her immediately covered their ears, and, "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!" Let out her highest and loudest scream to pierce the ears of their foes. Any weaponry that operated by computers were disabled from the sound pitch. It made Siryn feel good to do this much damage. Her scream was so deafening that it woke the unconscious Quicksilver from his 'sleep'.
"Theresa, it is good that your power helps the team but you must not overuse it." Professor X's voice echoed in the depths of her mind. "Your power is both helping and hurting. Yes it distracts those who are attacking us but is disables the remainders of our team. Use it when needed."
"But how will I know when its needed?" She thought back.
"It is out of instinct that you will know when to start and when to stop."
"So now would be time to stop?" She thought back as she lowered her pitch and slowly faded her voice out. This gave them the chance they needed. Storm flew even higher than Siryn was and the clouds began to darken to a black. Rain began pouring down like sheets of ice and lightning flashed while thunder crashed. Emma, Jean and Betsy still held their telepathic connection to hold the troops back. With this combined with the weather they were doing a much better job now.
After what seemed like forever the weather stopped and the telepaths broke their connection. The mutants looked on at the government agents who were practically in a heap and totally worn out. The one who seemed to be in charge raised a radio to his lips.
"Confirmed. Bring in the operative." He said, while he gave the group of mutants a look that could kill.
