Chapter 13
Battle
The four X-Men walked around in the shadows. They were still in the mall and nearing the food court, where there problems had started. They were all wearing the clothes they slept in at night since they attack had taken place at night. Scott's shirt had large holes in it, revealing that he had battled a little at the mansion.
"You think we could find some change of clothes?" Rogues asked, revealing that she wasn't sufficiently covered for their protection. She had a lot of skin out in the open that if someone brushed against, they would be drained.
"That's stealing!" Scott told her. "If we steal and get caught, then once again mutants will have a foul name branded on us."
"But...," Rogue started.
"The answer is no, Rogue," Scott interrupted.
"So we can't go back to the mansion?" Kitty asked.
"Not unless you want to be captured like the rest," Scott replied.
"So what are we going to do?" Bobby asked.
"We're going to have to find help," Scott told them.
"And where are we going to find people who will help mutants?" Rogue mumbled.
"Other mutants," Scott told her.
"And can you give us any more specifics?" Kitty asked. "Like who and where they are?"
"Not right now," Scott told her. "I'm not quite sure myself."
A sudden crash came from a large glass window on the roof and a few familiar faces flew done with the help of Samira.
"So we get another chance to finish this, preppy boy," said Natura, stepping forward and crossing her arms.
"Why do you want to fight?" Bobby asked. "I didn't do anything to you except protect myself."
"Whatever," she replied, running her fingers through her hair. "All I can say is that your going to pay for what you did for whatever reason."
"All we need to do is capture them, not kill them," said a boys voice from the shadows.
It was John who walked out, igniting and putting out his lighter. It was a compulsion for him. It was his symbol for power and it gave him confidence.
"Grab one of 'em and stun 'em, Bryan," John told him.
Bryan stepped out from behind him, his green eyes filled with fear, and he took off his gloves.
"Watch out for him!" Bobby told them, getting into a fighting position. "He can kill you with his touch."
"Someone like me?" Rogue asked.
"No," Scott told her. "He will scramble your brain."
Scott moved his hand to his visor and fired an optic blat at Samira, since she was starting to draw out her knives.
"Shit!" She yelled, flying backwards and hitting a table.
"I got him!" Natura yelled, running forward and raising her hand. She blew on it and green spores flew from her hand and at Scott.
Scott tried to hold his breath, but some of it made its way into his lungs and he immediately was knocked out. Bobby sent an ice stream flying towards Bryan, who was nearing Kitty, hands outstretched. It was nearing contact... but then a stream of fire countered it.
Bryan panicked and jumped at Kitty, trying to take her down. But Kitty phased and he went right through her. She sighed with relief that she phased just in time, but Bryan lashed out a hand and grabbed her ankle.
"AHHHH!" Kitty yelled and fell flat on her back. They didn't know if she was unconscious or dead... they could only pray while they fought. Now it was just Rogue and Bobby. But Bobby couldn't see Rogue.
Natura started to walk towards Bobby. She gave him an evil smile.
"I'm going to enjoy this," she told Bobby and slowly raised her hand to her face.
She was about to blow, but a hand lashed out and touched her neck. Nautra inhaled deeply and the veins on her body began to rise and from her skin.
"Uh... ah...," she gasped, and then the hand removed its place on her neck and Natura collapsed on the ground. It was the hand of Rogue.
Rogue quickly turned and looked at one of the plants that was bye a water fountain in the food court. She raised a hand and the plant started to change. It grew to a larger version of itself and vines suddenly shot from its oversized stem. They looped and lashed through the air and grabbed hold of Bryan and pulled him up into the air. Another vine went straight for Samira, he was sprawled on the ground still because of Scott's blast. A final one flew to John, he tired to fend it off with his fire, but Bobby let his ice simmer it down.
It was done... the X-Men had won the battle. Bobby walked up to John, he was still tightly constricted by the vines and Bobby just smiled.
"Now we can discuss things my way."
