Lashing Out

I. Sabertooth

He looked around and tried to figure out where his quarry would be hiding. Victor Creed loved the mayhem he caused. Killing for him was a rush, and this little job would be a big rush, and it would be bigger if he took out the 'runt' as well. Creed never liked Logan, and he definatly woundn't mind killing everyone that Logan cared about. This included the little pipsqueak that stopped his rampage at the X-Mansion. He knew Logan was there, and he also knew that Jubilee was there. However, his main target this time was some twerp called Richard Cale. Only problem was, he didn't know where this Richard Cale would be. He also stayed up in the trees. Then he thought about what he was looking for. The pipsqueak would know. He made his way through the trees until he was close to the girls dorm. He knew that she would be somewhere in the dorm, or that she would return to the dorm. He then noticed movement at one of the attic windows. He looked over only to see a cat. He just muttered, "False alarm, but I can wait." He could wait. Sabertooth had been waiting for a moment like this for a long time, and he was definately going to enjoy it.

II. Rich
Rich sat up and looked over at Grimore. His cat had been purched at the window, and now he could tell Grimore had seen something. Rich got off the bed and said to Jubilee, "I think something is up. Grimore looks nervous."

Jubilee, who had stayed with him when Yvette left for an examination, said, "Maybe it's the music. It is getting a bit creepy."

Rich just shook his head. "No, something is wrong. I can feel it now." He walked over to Grimore's perch and said softly, "What's wrong?"

His cat didn't look at him, but said softly in return. "There is something, or someone, in the tree out there. It's big and seems very hostile."

Rich felt the fear building in him. He instictivly grabbed the sword. He swallowed and said, "Grimore, can you tell me anything else?"

Grimore just said, "It's mostly orange, and it looks like it has a mane. It just looked in the other direction."

Before Grimore could say another word, Rich saw Jubilee come over to him and she said, "Sounds like there are three wolves in that piece. I heard the guy say something like wolf." He looked at her and she could see it in his eyes. "What's wrong? What's going on?"

Rich just said, "There were only two wolves at that debut. That last growl wasn't a wolf. We have to go." He saw she had run to the steps in a panic. He quickly followed, but was startled by the crash of a window.

He heard the voice with a inhuman growl in it. "Alright pipsqueak, I know you're in here." He saw the figure and his sword instantly was ablaze. The figure saw him and said, "I don't know you are, but I have a feeling you're Cale." Rich ran down the steps quick and slammed the door shut. It locked but it wouldn't hold. He heard Sabertooth slamming on it hard.

He ran after Jubilee and she said, "He's not gonna stop." He heard the fear in her voice. As they ran down the steps, she said, "How did you know he was near?"

Rich heard the door break and said, "Grimore saw him." He noticed that the cat was at his side. As they continueed down the steps, Rich just said, "We need help. I don't know if we can handle Sabertooth alone." He saw her nod and Rich said in his mindlink with Yvette, "Yvette, Jubilee and I are in trouble. Sabertooth is here."

He could sense the fear in Yvette when she said, "Oh God. Are you both alright?"

"For now, but he's hot on our heels. Get everyone over here, especially Logan and the other X-Men." He heard the stairwell door shatter and looked up to see Sabertooth enter the stairwell.

As both he and Jubilee exited it on the main floor, he heard Yvette say, "Monet is at the dorm. She might be able to help." He knew what she meant. Monet's strength might be an asset He ran to Monet's door and pounded on it.

She openned the door rather quickly and said, "What is with all the noise?"

Rich just said to her, "Don't ask me, ask Creed. He's here and after Jubilee and myself." He was surprised at how fast she moved. She just grabbed him and Jubilee and flew out the main door.

He saw that they were heading towards the main building as the X-Men were coming out with the rest of Generation X. When Monet landed, she just said, "It might be easier to fight Sabertooth out here." Rich noticed that Logan had his claws out. This was going to be messy.

III. Logan
Logan stood in front of everyone once Monet had landed. When Yvette had said what was happening, he was ready. They all knew why Sabertooth was here, but he was gonna give Creed a hard time getting to Rich. The only trick now was not letting Sabertooth get an edge. He then saw Sabertooth come out of the dorm building. He wasn't surprised when Sabertooth slowed down and growled. "Well 'runt', you think you can stop me this time?"

Logan ran forward and shouted, "No doubt on that one, Sabertooth. I ain't gonna let you harm anyone here." He was surprise then Sabertooth jumped to the side. He quickly stopped himself and spun to face Sabertooth again.

Sabertooth just growled and said, "I'd love to dance with you Logan, but I've got more important things to do." He watched as Creed turned and headed towards the students. He had to detain Creed even longer.

Logan ran over with claws extended. What he needed to do was injure Creed. He needed to buy them some time. He still didn't think that the kids were ready to handle Creed. As he neared Creed, Logan was surprised to hear Darrett yell out, "Stop him." He then saw the bull from earlier come charging at Creed. He wasn't surprised when Creed grabbed it by the horns.

As he looked on and moved forward, he heard Sabertooth shout, "Hey 'runt', catch." Sabertooth threw the bull right at him, and the bull sent him flying. When the both landed, her heard the bull mutter something, but he felt the muttering too in his shoulder where the one horn had impaled him. This was not good.

Everett knew that Sabertooth wouldn't stop. Sabertooth was hellbound on killing Rich, and even Jubilee. Ev looked over at Yvette and said, "Yvette, we got to stop him." He saw her nodded and he said, "I'm gonna synch up with you, it might be enough." He wasn't sure if it would work, but they didn't have much time.

She nodded and said, "I don't want my husband dead. Let's do it." He knew how much she cared for Rich, and really relized how much he cared for Jubilee.

Just as Sabertooth approached the rest of them, he and Yvette moved infront of Rich and Jubilee. He just said, "That's as far as you go Sabertooth." He focused on trying to tense up, but only got it to a certain point.

He saw Yvette had tensed up her hands to the point they were claws. He also noticed that her hair was also tensed up, but nothing else. She just said "Any closer and you'll wish you were dealing with Wolverine." He had a feeling that the teachers were holding back, but the others were getting ready.

He heard Creed laugh as he swung his arm. Everett then felt the pain. Sabertooth had slashed his chest, and Yvette's as well. He collapsed to the ground, holding the cut. He heard Sabertooth say, "Nothing but a bunch of wimps." Everett knew about Yvette's healing power, but did he get it.

He felt faint when he heard a voice say, "Jean, shield Everett and Yvette." He didn't know who said it, but the next thing he saw before he lost consciousness was a bright flash.

IV. Jubilee
Jubilee was miffed now. Not just miffed, she was pissed off. Creed might have killed the one guy who meant the most to her. Then she saw the dark shadow next to her. Rich was totally upset. She knew what was coming, and she had to agree. She felt the plasma explosion coming. She just shouted, "It ends here Sabertooth."

She pointed her hands right and Sabertooth as did Rich. She heard Xavier yell, "Jean, shield Everett and Yvette." That was when the fireworks began. The explosion would have leveled any of the buildings if they were inside. The force of it send Sabertooth flying. She didn't know which direction Sabertooth was flying, but he was flying to someplace far away.

After the blast ended, she looked over and ran to Everett. "Ev, are you alright? Please be alright."

She saw Rich run over to Yvette and pick her up, "We have to get them to the med center." He was right. She did the same with Everett and they all ran inside, all except Monet. She had collapsed right there, and Darrett helped get her in. She also saw the look in Darrett's eyes. He was upset. She wondered why he was upset, but right now, all that mattered was making sure Everett didn't die.
