Scott, Jean, Theressa, Storm and Logan had been in the briefing room on the
lower levels for about thirty minutes when Rouge, Xavier, and Pyro walked
in. five minutes later Xavier wheeled himself into the room.
"The time has come. Cobra has attacked Generation X in Massachusetts. Banshee, Jubilee, Skin, and Penace have been fighting for the last half- hour. Jubilee contacted me about five minutes ago. Here is the message:"
"Professor. Generation X is under attack. Please send reinforcements. Banshee is out cold and AHHHH!" Logan stood up at the sound of Jubilee's scream. Before Jubilee left to join Generation X Logan was Jubilee's mentor. He had promised to protect her and he still held that promise.
"Is that all you know chuck?" Logan asked in a growl.
"No, Apocalypse's daughter's name is Cobra Dragon. Other than that I have no clue what is going on. All I know is Generation X needs our help."
"Is Cobra alone?" Jean asked.
"As far as I know yes but that doesn't mean she is. Remember to stay sharp and alert. Now go my X-men. Go help Generation X."
It didn't take them long to get to Massachusetts. When they arrived they were suprised to find the school completely empty.
"Something is not right." Scott said as he opened the half-broken front door.
"Logan, you, Theressa, Storm and Bobby take the west wing and Jean, Pyro, Rogue and I will take the East Side. Keep your communicators on at all times."
Everyone split up into their assigned groups and took off. It wasn't long until Logan caught a very familiar scent. It was that of Yuriko a.k.a. Lady Death Strike. At one point Yuriko and Logan had been in love but when Logan was "given" his adamantium Yuriko became out raged. Her father had invented a way to bind adamantium molecules to human bone. So, naturally, Yuriko, now the Samurai Warrior Lady Death Strike, sought to kill Wolverine and clam his adamatium bound skeleton in the name of her father. She had not yet succeeded but Wolverine had no doubt that the Death Strike would try once again.
"Scott," Logan said threw his communicator. "I've got a sent but it ain't Cobra's!"
"Then who is it?" Scott asked
"Death Strike." Wolverine replied. He made that one word sound as lethal as it really was. "T, Storm, Bobby, stay sharp we are not alone."
Sure enough out of nowhere, Came Lady Death Strike.
"So are you want my brain too?" Logan asked mocking the woman he once loved.
"How quaint." Yuriko said in a tone that matched Wolverine's.
"I'm here for the same reason I was all those years ago." Theressa, by now, had long sent Bobby and Storm to find Scott's group.
Wolverine, Do you need back up or do you have this tin can taken car of? Theressa asked telepathically.
Are you kidding? This is probably going to be the only time I get to fight or beat the heck out of one of my worst enemies. I don't want to spoil it by letting Scott take over. Go find the others.
Theressa reluctantly ran the down the hallway and around the corner while Logan stared at Lady Death Strike. The silence was finally broken when Wolverine reveled his claws.
"How much is he paying you, Yuriko?"
"Just the satisfaction of having your skeleton. Plus five hundred million dollars" Yuriko said as she smiled and waved her arms.
Logan saw five claws emerge out of Yuriko's fingertips on each hand.
"I see you've developed weapons of your own." Wolverine said.
Lady Death Strike made the first move. She kicked Logan in his face, then, with her claws stabbed Logan in the chest and in the back of the head. Wolverine fell back and stumbled a little when he tried to get back up. Logan looked at his chest and saw that his white T-shirt was now covered in red blood. He then lifted his right had to rub his head and free some of the blood that had stopped moving. Normally his wounds only took a couple of seconds to heal but with chest and head wounds it took two minutes tops. Even with his healing factor his wounds still hurt like heck. Slowly, Wolverine saw the blood stop running and the skin started to pull its self back together. Ignoring what was left of the pain and blood, Wolverine returned Death strike's fire with a blow to her face and then to kicking her in her stomach as he did a flip.
The two mutants exchanged blows for about two hours when a bolt of lightning struck Lady Death Strike and forced her to the ground. When Yuriko screamed you could hear it a mile away. Yuriko fell to her knees and as she did she grabbed Logan's arm. He looked into her eyes and on last time he saw the woman he had loved but just as quickly as it came it was gone and so was Lady Death strike. As Logan laid Yuriko's body on the ground he looked up and saw Storm standing there.
"You okay Ororo? You look like you are about to hurl." In Storm's way of thinking she had every right to hurl. She was looking at a dead, half burnt, cyborg that she never meant to kill. She only wanted to stun her but with everything that was going on her stress got the better of her.
"Yeah I guess. I've just never killed a person like this before." Logan quickly moved over to storm and reached her just in time to catch her. They sat on the ground as Storm tried to collect herself before going any further.
"Well, I've seen many kills but I haven't seen one that lightning was the killer." Logan said trying to help his friend deal with what she had done. He was use to killing people. Which part of him didn't like.
"Did the others run into anyone else?"
"Yeah, it turns out that Emma Frost, Husk, Leech, Archie, Skin, and Chamber weren't even here when everyone else were attacked. Emma had taken them out for the day. Banshee, Jubilee, Penance, M, and Synch were captured. Lady Death Strike stayed behind because Apocalypse knew we would be coming. This is only the beginning Logan. This is only the beginning."
