Chapter 5
Storm rose from her seat as the explosion subsided, but still screams were heard along the corridor. Logan ran past Scott heavily and threw open the door to stare out onto the main corridor. There appeared to be no damage here.. all he could see was a few panicky students, and some with their heads peering out of doors along the corridor.
Rogue came running down the corridor, gasping softly, "Logan!" She cried, speeding up towards him. She paused to catch her breath.
"What's happened?" He asked urgently, now joined by Scott and Storm behind him.
"Kurt was down in the lab!! Some massive explosion went off over the basketball court!"
"They know our jets are down there!" Suddenly cried Storm.
"Is Kurt alright?" Asked Logan looking across down the corridor.
Rogue nodded, "Yes. He teleported up to the second floor."
Right at that moment Kurt appeared beside them, "Big explosion!" He cried, "Everything shakes!!"
The X-Men spilled out onto the corridor, including a black form of a panther. Logan's head turned to the right, by chance he looked out of the window beside them.. and he saw the jet flying back over, right over their spot, "Oh no.. "
No one had time to question his speech for flash of red exploded in the corridor, and a roar engulfed their ears.
Cries of shock and pain lifted to the air as the pressure of the explosion forced their bodies to the floor, heat stung their faces as the bomb exploded part of the corridor further on. Logan lifted his head from the floor, groaning from the pain the explosion had done to his ears. But now, he was gasping at the sight for balls of fire raced across the corridor, engulfing the entire four sides and demolishing objects within seconds. Logan gasped and dragged himself up and heftily threw the four figures behind him and into the Professors' office before he stumbled backwards with them as the fire raced in front swiftly before it died away to leave crackling flames on objects and the carpets.
Logan staggered back out onto the corridor, looking each way as students were crying louder for aid. He saw a wall of ice fade away from where the explosion had erupted and it disappeared to reveal Bobby and the students that once lingered the corridor, all unharmed. Sprinklers had begun from the charred ceilings and now fell about them cleansing the soot from their cheeks. The outside wall of the corridor had fallen away partly and rubble lingered over the floors. Smashed vases were on the floor and glass decorated the burnt carpet with sparkling pieces.
A small part of the ceiling had splintered and through the hole anxious faces peered down. Storm gasped and hurried over, taking care not to walk on flames, though glass crunched beneath her boots, "Get away from there! It's going to break!" The crowd of students there moved away, moving from their sight. And as if on cue, a piece of wood splintered some more, bent and creaked dangerously as it hung before it fell to the floor with a tremendous thud.
The roar of the jet was heard again and Rogue flung herself to the window to glare at its path. It rose up and away from the school, finally leaving them be.
Charles exited the room, pausing as his eyes fell upon slowly burning debris that was currently being extinguished by Bobby. Charles frowned and his head lowered, "I never knew they would come so quickly.."
"We haven't seen the last of them.." Said Scott softly as he looked out of the window, shaking his head.
"Will they stop if they get me?" Asked Logan, turning to Charles.
"It'll die down.. but they want to get rid of us all."
"The law must have been raised. The government would never have done that otherwise." Storm said quietly.
Voices fell away and students watched the X-Men in fright. If they gave up hope what chance did the students have?
Suddenly Charles spoke up, "No Logan!" It caused a few to jump, since Logan had not actually said a word.
Logan turned to Charles, frowning, "But.. if it stops their attacks.."
"What is it Professor?" Asked Rogue softly, urgently.
"He wants to give himself in."
"No!" Suddenly said Aurora, instantly after leaping out of her panther form, "You can't do that!"
Logan shook her off and turned, moving on down the corridor and past Bobby, "What if someone dies."
"No one's going to die." Announced Charles, "The humans won't be back in a hurry."
"How do you know?" Asked Scott with a raised brow.
Logan looked his way with a frown before his eyes went upon Charles.
Charles turned his chair and wheeled across the carpet and along the corridor to the hallway, "I am physic you know.."
Storm turned, following a moment before she spoke up, "Where are you going?"
"This corridor is now out of bounds." Charles' ordered simply, causing the students to turn his way and follow out on his words. The X-Men came behind, pushing stragglers ahead. Logan frowned as he passed behind by himself.. he suddenly felt a hand on his elbow and he turned to the owner.
Aurora was looking to him with a frown, she looked rather hurt, "Please don't Logan.."
He said nothing.. and continued to walk on.
*** Damn humans! If they keep this up the schools gonna be a pile of rubble! *frowns* Wait.. I can decide that! I'm the author! Wahey! There's still hope for them yet if I make sure of it ;)
