Court TV Meets Jerry Springer

"Okay, how did those guys get all those weapons past security?" Logan snarled as the fighting intensified. By now several FOH members in the court had joined in the fighting. Somehow they had managed to smuggle in several knives and guns into the court.

Sabertooth was tearing into them with a vengeance. "Yeah, like your weapons are gonna do any good!" He howled with glee. Then he got blasted by one of Scott'soptic blasts. "AGGGH!"

"THAT MUTANT IS USING DEADLY EYE BEAMS!" A juror screamed.

"PEOPLE ARE SHOOTING GUNS IN A COURT AND YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT ME?" Scott shouted back before he ended up in a struggle with Duncan Matthews.

"I've been waiting for this chance Summers!" Duncan swung a punch.

"Same here," Scott socked him in the eye and Duncan went down. "What do you know? It was worth the wait."

Evan was holding his own despite his shackles. He gritted through the pain of the electric bracelets as he made some spikes to defend himself. "AGGH!" He hit several of his attackers. Ororo had to go to her nephew's defense and help him.

Somehow Creed had gotten hold of a gun and was trying to blast Mystique into pieces. "DIE YOU BITCH!"

"YOU FIRST!" Mystique kicked it out of his hands then grabbed it. She pointed it at him.

"NO!" Kurt teleported to her and wrestled the gun out of her hand. She kicked him backwards. He fell into Creed. More FOH people started to tackle Mystique when Judge Brooks tackled them.

"You…" Creed hissed. Before Kurt could do anything Creed pounded his fist into Kurt's face knocking him unconscious. "For once you'll come in handy. FOH! ESCAPE PLAN DELTA!"

"We need backup! We need backup!" One FOH member called into a walkie-talkie. "ESCAPE PLAN DELTA!"

"What's going on?" Rogue noticed several more FOH storming the courtroom along with a SWAT team. They were fighting each other. Then she saw Creed holding Kurt. "KURT!"

"EVERYONE! BACK OFF OR THE FREAK GETS IT!" Creed shouted holding a gun to Kurt's unconscious head.

"GET AWAY FROM MY BROTHER YOU…" Rogue started to move towards Creed when suddenly the room filled with smoke. "WHAT THE HELL?"

The fighting still continued despite the smoke. Ororo used her powers to blow the smoke away. By the time the smoke cleared several people were missing. Several more were injured and lying on the floor, FOH, police and jurors alike. "What a mess!" Scott groaned.

"Kurt's gone!" Jean shouted.

"Judge Brooks is gone too!" Scott said.

"So's Mystique, Sabertooth and Creed," Logan hissed. "But I've got their scent!"

"WHERE ARE THEY?" Rogue grabbed an FOH member left behind. "Where'd they go?"

"Tough luck freak," He spat in her face. "I ain't telling you nothing."

"Wanna bet?" Rogue removed her glove and made a fist, which connected with his face. Instantly she got a location and flew out of the room through a hole she made in the wall.

"Rogue! Come back!" Xavier called out, but Rogue didn't hear them.

"FREEZE!" Several more police ran in. "NOBODY MOVE!"

"Now what?" Logan shouted.

"EVERYBODY UP AGAINST THE WALL!" The police pointed their guns at the X-Men. "NOW!"

"Not again…" Kitty groaned.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"I can't believe we're stuck here while Kurt and Rogue are out there somewhere!" Kitty pouted as the X-Men were waiting in the halls of the police station two hours later. Xavier, Ororo and Jack were speaking with the police.

"Hey, we're lucky we're not in a jail cell like Evan," Scott grunted.

Xavier wheeled out with Jack and Ororo following him. "Well they're not going to prosecute us despite the recent developments," Xavier explained.

"By the tone of your voice we're not just talking about the riot are we?" Kitty asked.

"They found Judge Brooks tied up and unconscious in the basement," Jack said. "And Prosecutor's body was found next to him."

"Body?" Logan asked. "Great! Just what we need!"

"Wait, if the Judge was tied up who was in the court?" Scott asked.

"Zartan…" Logan snarled. "He was with Mystique back in Washington. How the hell couldn't I have smelled him?"

"Probably because Cobra's invented a cologne that masks scents," Roadblock said as he and the Misfits walked in. "We saw what happened and came to help."

"We'd have been here sooner but you know how the cops are," Pietro grunted. "What's going on? When the riots started the stations pulled the plug."

"Short version Creed's gone nuts and he's taken Kurt hostage," Kitty said. "Then Rogue went nuts and went after him before the cops got us!"

"Oh is that all?" Lance rolled his eyes.
