Disclaimer: Same as the other chapters. I don't own the X-men.
A/N: Not many people seem to be reading this fan fic. I have only two reviews. I will continue this; however, oblivious to that fact. Warning: Katy is a bit of a Mary-Sue in this chapter. She has been in the other chapters, but I think this one is worse. Please read anyway and please review. Tell me if what you think, give me criticism, and flames if you must. (I'll just ignore them.)
Chapter 6
Sometimes You can't Save them All
Katy still held her side. She fired at Saber Tooth, but he moved out of the way. Unfortunately, for him he moved in Logan's path.
Logan's claws cut him below the jaw. Saber Tooth growled and slashed back at Logan. Katy tried to fire at Saber Tooth while Logan kept him busy, but she didn't want to hurt Logan. Finally, she fired at him. Saber Tooth stumbled as she did and fell down the side of the hill.
Logan looked at his hand. The side of his hand had been hit with fire when Katy hit Saber Tooth, but in a couple seconds, his hand was fine.
Katy smiled at him. She loved how his body healed itself. Her hand was covering her wound. It throbbed with pain, but she was okay.
"Let me take a look." Logan said.
Katy carefully removed her hand from the wound. Her shirt was torn and covered in blood. Logan looked at it.
"You're cut pretty bad, but you'll be okay. I'll walk you back to the ship if you would like."
Katy shook her head and placed her hand back on the wound. She put pressure against it to stop the bleeding. "I'll be fine. Come on let's see if the others need our help."
***
Ororo and Joanne hung from the top of the Ferris wheel. Magneto had wrapped metal around them, trapping them to the top of the Ferris wheel. Joanne tried to struggle free, but it was useless. It was still raining outside and Ororo increased the wind to try to keep Magneto busy. Magneto fought against the wind. With his power he bent a piece of metal near Ororo and twisted it against her neck.
Ororo struggled to breathe. The wind and rain ceased. Magneto smiled and returned to his plan.
***
Scott could feel himself blacking out. He fought to keep conscious. Suddenly Toad screamed and Scott felt Toad being lifted of his body.
Jean had seen Scott and Matt in trouble and had rushed to help them. Rogue placed her hands on Toads head as Jean lifted him up. Toad cringed and tried to struggle free. Rogue let go and Jean threw him on the ground. He would be paralyzed for awhile.
***
Matt fought with Pyrho, dodging fire blast that he shot at him. He felt a little guilty leaving Scott alone, but he kept following Pyrho whom seemed to be leading him somewhere. He had slashed at his face once, cutting him on the cheek. Pyrho started to run, but Matt was determined not to let him get away. Seizing the opportunity, Matt jumped and landed on Pyrho. He
gripped his arms hard and held him pinned.
Suddenly a rope was flung over Matt's body, trapping his arms. Matt struggled as the rope tightened on him. He was pulled off Pyrho and landed on the ground. He saw a young girl smiling at him.
***
Katy walked as fast as she could with her hurt side. They had to find the President's daughter. Wherever she was, that's where Magneto would be. Logan looked as he walked. He was ready for anything, though it was Katy who saw it first.
"Look!" She said pointing to the Ferris wheel. Three people were bound in metal at the top.
Logan looked up.
"It looks like Ororo, Joanne, and Matt. We've have to help them."
Logan nodded and started running. Katy ran after him, her side throbbing with every step. She ignored it now. Her friend's lives were in danger.
Jean, Rogue, and Scott arrived by the Ferris wheel just as Logan and Katy did.
Magneto looked at them. "Oh, good. Everybody is here. You have played right in my plan. As you see three of your teammates are already tied up. Now it's your turn."
Five figures immerged from behind Magneto. The X-men knew four of them, Saber Tooth, Pyrho, Avalanche, and Toad, but they did not know the other figure that immerged. She had long black hair, and big brown eyes.
"I don't think you've met my newest member." Magneto said. He pointed to the girl. "This is Mirror Wall."
The girl glared at the X-men with an evil grin. Magneto nodded towards his group and they began to move toward the X-men. Saber Tooth pounced at Logan, sending them both to the ground. Avalanche started making small tremors as he moved in on Katy. Toad determined to get revenge, jumped at Rogue. Mirror Wall headed toward Jean and Pyrho headed towards Scott.
Jean tried to stay near Scott since he still did not have his visor, but Mirror Wall kept her away from him. Jean tried to use telepathy to push her away, but the girl created a mirror shield, sending the power back at Jean. Jean flew backwards.
***
Scott listened to try to hear Pyrho. Pyrho shot out flames with his flame gun and began to control them. Scott tried to react as best as he could. He chanced opening his eyes. Lasers shot out, hitting one of Pyrho's flame guns. Pyrho looked down. The lasers had caused enough damage so he could not use it. Lucky for him he had two. "Lucky shot, Summers. Now you're going pay." Pyrho taunted as he shot out more flames.
***
Katy moved out the way and fought to stay away from the tremors. She fired at him when she could and had hit him twice in the arm. If she got too close to Avalanche, she would throw a few kicks at him.
***
Logan and Saber Tooth wrestled and slashed at each other. Saber Tooth suddenly jumped up on a concession stand. Then suddenly jumped somewhere else and Logan lost site of him.
Logan growled. "You can't hide forever."
Suddenly Saber Tooth jumped at him from the back. Logan rolled to the ground, but Saber Tooth ended up on top of him. Logan kicked at him and managed to throw him off.
Rogue tried to stay away from Toad's combat skills. She tried to get close enough to touch him, but Toad managed to keep her away. He tried pouncing on her, but Rogue dodged with a back flip.
***
Jean wearily fought against Mirror Wall, but no matter what she tried, Mirror Wall countered it. The young girl laughed as Jean got up again from the ground. Jean, however, came up with an idea. Scott stood behind Mirror Wall.
"Scott," Jean yelled. "Slightly open your eyes!"
Scott heard her. He hesitated, but trusted Jean. He opened his eyes. Just as the lasers shot out, Jean used her telepathy. Mirror Wall was in the middle. She smiled and created a mirror shield on both sides of her. Then she hit Jean back with both of them. Jean screamed and flew backwards. Magneto began to trap her in metal.
***
Katy had managed to take care of herself against Avalanche. Twice she had fallen to the ground, but before she could be detained, she was back on her feet. When she heard Jean scream she looked towards her. Scott was yelling for her and tried to find her, while he tried to keep Pyrho away.
Katy fired at Avalanche and ran towards Scott. Suddenly Pyrho shot out a huge blast at Scott. Katy however saw it coming and used her fire as a counter. She pushed it back toward Pyrho and he flew backwards from the blast.
"Scott," She said.
Scott turned to the sound of Katy's voice. She was right beside him.
"Scott, here take my visor." She placed it in his hands, her eyes tightly closed. "Jean needs your help."
Scott took it. "But what about you? You won't be."
"GO! Go help Jean." Katy said.
Scott smiled and put the visor on. He placed a hand a Katy's shoulder and ran off.
"So, now I get to Roasty Toasty a little, defenseless girl. That will be even better." Pyrho mocked.
Katy was breathing hard, but she managed to stay calm. She dared to open her eyes once. Fire shot out from her eyes, but Pyrho immediately took control of it. Katy saw it just as she closed her eyes. She quickly rolled out of the way.
***
Rogue did another back flip as Toad leaped at her. As he did, something fell out of his pocket. It was Scott's visor. Toad leaped for it, but Rogue got it first. She quickly ran to Katy on the ground.
"Katy here." She said placing it in her hands.
Katy quickly put the visor on, just as metal was starting to form around her. She quickly adjusted the knob and aimed on the metal. It became to melt. Soon she was free. Pyrho and Mirror Wall; however, had managed to trap Jean and Scott. Magneto tied them up at the Ferris wheel.
While the mutants were busily fighting, no one noticed what Magneto had been doing. Magneto had placed a bomb on the cage trapping the civilians. As he placed Jean and Scott at the top of the Ferris Wheel, Mystique brought a helicopter in. Magneto jumped on board holding the Presidents daughter. Toad and a badly slashed Saber Tooth quickly got on; followed by Mirror Wall and Avalanche.
Katy tried to fire at the helicopter, but a mirror shield protected it.
"Just to make sure you don't follow us." Magneto said. "There is a bomb set to go of in five minutes." With that, he nodded toward Avalanche.
Avalanche shook the ground violently near the Ferris Wheel. It began to collapse as the helicopter took off.
Katy, Logan, and Rogue looked at the Ferris Wheel. The metal around the X- men had loosened, but the Ferris Wheel began to fall.
"We have to do something." Katy yelled.
Jean struggled to hold the Ferris wheel up. Suddenly the metal around her let go and Jean was free. She began to fall, but quickly caught herself telepathically. Scott and Ororo fell and she struggled to hold them also. Ororo was weakened, but she managed to safely cruise down to the ground. Jean struggled as she started to bring Scott down to the ground, but Joanne and Matt started falling. She struggled to hold them all telepathically, while keeping the Ferris Wheel standing, but it was too much. She was not that strong. She pushed Joanne down, but was loosing Matt and Scott.
Ororo immediately used the wind to try to push Matt and Scott down. Jean struggled hard. Scott made it safely to the ground, but that was all Jean could handle. She fell to the ground. Despite her weariness, Ororo was able to push the Ferris Wheel back, but there was nothing she could do for Matt.
Katy screamed as she saw Matt fall. He had fallen from at least fifty feet in the air. She ran to him. He lay motionless on the ground.
"Matt can you here me?" She asked desperately. Matt did not move.
Scott helped Jean to her feet. She was hurt, but not bad. Her head spun and she felt weak. Scott steadied her. Ororo rushed to Matt's side. She placed a hand on his neck.
"He still has a pulse." She announced. "We need to get him back to the ship."
"What about the bomb?" Scott asked.
"See if you can disarm it." Ororo said.
"What about the President's daughter?" Kate asked looking up.
"We'll have to get her later." Scott said.
Scott sat Jean down on the ground and went to look at the bomb. He carefully opened the control panel. He looked at the wires for a second. Placing a hand on his visor, he fried the wires with his laser. The bomb stopped. The civilians breathed a sigh of relief. Scott quickly freed them.
Logan picked up Matt and headed toward the ship. As they started walking toward the ship, Rogue saw three people in the distance.
"Look," she said as she pointed to her left. "If Magneto took the President's daughter then who is she?"
Two bodyguards were leading a young girl out. They jumped into a car and the car sped off.
Ororo shrugged. "Maybe the other girl was a distraction."
They began to walk back toward the ship. Scott caught up with them, supporting Jean. He placed her on a chair and went to the helm. Ororo was on his right. Logan had placed Matt on one of the chairs against the wall. Katy sat next to him. She held his hand tight and looked down on the ground. Jean sat on the seat across from her. She tried to think of something to say to comfort Katy, but she could not think of anything.
"I'm sorry Katy. I tried my best." Jean tried.
Katy did not look up, but she nodded. "I know."
The rest of the trip was quiet. When they arrived at Xavier's school, Xavier was waiting. Logan and Scott quickly carried Matt to the Medical room. Jean hooked an IV into him.
"What's wrong with him?" Katy asked impatiently.
"I think he's in a coma." Jean replied.
Professor Xavier placed his hands on Matt's head and closed his eyes.
"When he fell he hit his head hard." Professor Xavier reported. "There is a possibility of brain damage."
"What are you saying?" Katy asked close to tears. "That if he does wake up, he might be permanently injured?"
Professor Xavier nodded sadly. "There is a chance he would not be able to control his brain functions. There is also a high possibility of amnesia."
Katy covered her face with her hands. Tears began falling on her face. Her knees felt week. Scott placed on hand on her shoulder to steady her. He pulled her in close to him and let her cry.
Several hours later Katy sat alone by Matt's side. Jean had placed a bandage over Katy's hurt side. It had been cut bad, but no ribs had been broken.
Professor James had arrived a couple hours ago. He was mad at Professor Xavier and accused him of Matt's injury. Even in the other room, Katy could still hear him yelling. Katy felt tired, but she didn't want to leave Matt. Joanne, Ororo, Jean, and Scott had been trying to comfort her, but she was still worried.
'What if he didn't wake up? What if he had permanent brain injury? What if he didn't remember anything at all; didn't remember her?'
All these questions ran through her head.
Katy took Matt's hand in hers. "Matt," she said silently. "I don't know if you can hear me, but if you can then I need you to wake up. You need to fight, Matt. Fight this battle and don't give up. I'm here for you and I'm not going to let you go." She squeezed his hand as she tried to hold back more tears.
Jean stood outside the door looking on through the window. Scott came up behind her.
"It's not your fault." Scott said.
Jean turned to look at him. "I know, but I still feel responsible. I couldn't save him."
"But you tried Jean. You saved Joanne's life, Ororo's life, and my life. You can't blame yourself." Scott said comfortingly as he placed his arm around her.
Jean only slightly smiled.
