Hauptmann Englande smiled evilly when he saw the jet coming towards them. Turning to two Sentinels, he ordered them to attack the jet and they flew off at once, their laser eyes powering up as they went.

"Just watch, Meggan! Soon Excalibur will be dead, the traitors will be punished, and then we will invade and conquer this world for the Third Reich!" he said, placing an arm around her shoulders. Meggan held back a shudder and watched as the Sentinels fired at the jet, shattering its wings instantly. ***
"Get off the plane!" Brian shouted, fighting with the controls of their jet. "We're going to crash!"

"Don't stay in here too long." Nightcrawler said before he took hold of Shadowcat and teleported down.

"Don't worry." Brian said, turning back to the controls. He waited for Rachel and Meggan to leave before he finally gave up and simply abandoned the jet, flying down like a missile at one of the Sentinels.

The Sentinel raised a hand up and its palm opened up, exposing a missile. It fired along with a stream of lasers from its eyes right at Brian. He dodged the missile, but the lasers struck him at the same time. They ripped through his uniform and knocked him out, sending him plummeting to the ground.

Meggan flew up and caught him, helping him land as the rest of the Sentinels started in on Excalibur.

"These Sentinels are not like the ones we've fought in the past." Nightcrawler said, gritting his teeth. "We have to try our best though. Try to find a weakness or something on them! They can't be invincible!"

With those words, Excalibur charged at the twenty Sentinels standing over them. ***
"Oh God, there goes the jet!" StarPryde moaned, watching, as they got closer to the action. SkyElf nodded grimly, flipping a few switches with his tail.

"Get ready to sky dive down there." He said, watching as Excalibur charged at the Sentinels.

"What about you?"

"I have to try and land this stupid thing first." StarPryde's eyes grew wide with realization.

"You never got to the part about landing!" she cried. SkyElf nodded, focusing on the controls.

"Yes, now please get ready to jump. We don't need to crash and ruin our chances to prove our chances!" he said, turning to her for a moment. StarPryde slowly undid her belt and she stood up, heading for the door of the jet. She looked over her shoulder at her lover, her hair blowing into her eyes.

"Be safe." She said.

"I will." He nodded, keeping his eyes on the controls. With that, StarPryde phased and ran down to meet the Sentinels.

Looking over his shoulder, SkyElf sighed softly and brushed away his stray bit of hair from his eyes as he turned back to the controls. Turning a few dials and pulling a lever slowly, he started to make it descend at a slow pace. ***
StarPryde knew she didn't have time to waste as she watched one of the Sentinels grab her twin and try to slam her into the ground. Shadowcat phased just in time and sparks started to fly as the Sentinel lost control of its hand.

"There we go!" StarPryde laughed, turning solid so that she fell faster. When she was about to strike one of the Sentinels, she phased and went right through it, short-circuiting it and sending it crashing to the ground.

"Try to phase through their heads!" she shouted to her twin. "Their heads are their only weak spot and phasing is the only way to do it!"

"What are you doing here?" Nightcrawler asked, leaping over a stream of twin lasers.

"SkyElf and I didn't betray you! We're here to fight!" StarPryde said, phasing and sky running up to the one of the Sentinels. As she caused this one to go down as well, she saw the jet nose-diving. ***
"Verdammt jet!" SkyElf shouted, pulling as hard as he could on the controls. Gritting his teeth, he lashed his tail side to side as he tried to pull up. When he heard something snap and break, he swore even louder and narrowed his eyes in anger.

"I'm in big trouble when this is all said and done!" he groaned, trying to think of what to do. Looking out the window, he saw two Sentinels close together launching missiles at Meggan as she tried to get Brian to safety.

"Oh this had better work!" he said, grabbing the controls and turning them sharply.

The jet turned abruptly and headed straight for the Sentinels. As one of them turned its head and aimed a missile at it, the jet collided with it and caused its head to explode, spraying its partner with enough sharp shrapnel to impale it and cause its head to explode as well.

SkyElf appeared a second after the jet erupted on top of an overturned car near Meggan and he pointed to a building not too far off, but in an area untouched by the attacks so far.

"Get Brian over there!" he shouted, drawing his rapiers. "He should be all right!" He waited a moment as he watched Meggan fly over before he turned and looked for Hauptmann Englande. When he did, he narrowed his eyes and teleported at him. ***
"He did it!" StarPryde laughed, stopping to wait a moment beside Shadowcat.

"Yeah, now how are we going to get back when we're all done?" Shadowcat asked, placing her hands on her hips. Before they could continue their conversation, they were forced to jump back into action as another Sentinel launched a missile at them. ***
Nightcrawler teleported onto the head of one Sentinel and he drove his rapier into its head to get a grip. Holding on tightly, Nightcrawler dodged lasers fired at him, watching as the attacks damaged the Sentinel rather than himself.

"Come on!" he shouted at one Sentinel. "Fire a missile at me if you can!" With its eyes glowing a bright green color, the Sentinel raised up its hand and aimed.

"Ja, come on!" he taunted, ripping his rapier from its grip. As the missile headed for him, he teleported away and watched on a rooftop as the Sentinel's head blew up. ***
"This is taking way too long for my tastes!" Rachel growled, erupting into her Phoenix persona. With a loud screech, she soared into the sky and she fired at all of the Sentinels, flames and twisted shrapnel flying everywhere. Laughing, she soared high into the sky and watched the last of the Sentinels fall. ***
"This isn't supposed to be happening!" Hauptmann Englande screamed, turning around on Meggan. "Why did they destroy the Sentinels?" He grabbed her arm tightly and twisted it, making her cry out weakly.

"What are you waiting for?" he shouted in her face. "Use your powers on the flames and fight them!" Reluctantly, Meggan took off and started to fight, using the flames to make giants to fight Excalibur.

"This should have been easy! Why wasn't it?" Hauptmann Englande wondered aloud.

"Because this world is not as weak as you thought!" With a gasp, Hauptmann Englande turned around and found himself looking at SkyElf, his rapiers drawn and ready to drink blood.

"Nightcrawler!" he spat. Smiling slowly, SkyElf shook his head and walked forward.

"My name is SkyElf!" he said, slashing at his face. Hauptmann Englande dodged the blow and narrowed his eyes, clenching his fists.

"You're going to pay!" he snarled, throwing a punch at SkyElf's face. SkyElf deflected the blow with his rapier and the battle began, blade clashing against brute strength.
