ViciousAssassin: Remember that the town is full of mutants some of which will not stand by and let these guys just walk in. I think it's just Scott's power that can hurt Sinister, and yeah those two will show up to help out the town.

Erich: They'll most likely give an earlier call to Logan as a heads up, and yeah those two will know what Jean and Scott go through, yeah things will get ugly, real ugly. Damn…that was a long time ago. I don't think she did. Mainly Xavier, Logan and Beast then Rogue from the memories then everyone else.

TheLegendaryManHimself: Yeah I'm kind of a wild west fan especially the Clint Eastwood ones. Glad you liked the morning after part, and the Kitty/Rogue interaction. Yeah it was kind of a little homage to the Ultimate books with that.

Winblades: She was once a team leader in the books and I wanted to bring that in here, also you will see the battle this chapter trust me on this one.

Darkness1: I may skip the sparing matches for this story but I plan to bring them back here again in a short fic. I hope you like the big brawl. I listed the OCs that are from stories a few are just made up ones and Sparky Genocide's story was pulled. Also I hope you realize this was 6th in a series but I understand if you just read this for Jedi.

Slickboy444: Yeah major fight chapter is here, if there aren't any more Logan/Sarah moments in this you can bet there will be in the other AGU stories. I want to work on the Kitty/Piotr thing more, get the more comfortable with each other before they go that far.

The Uncanny R-Man: Kitty and Vince deserve each other? Huh? Yeah she does seem the gossip type and you bet the fight will be cool.

Ruby631: I've heard of that but I don't get any channels that get Adult Swim,

CHAPTER 35: SHOWDOWN IN TOWN X

Rogue, Kitty, Piotr, Vincent and Slayer were off at a dead run to where the trouble was going on. Sure Rogue and Vince could have flown there but she wanted the team to stick together on the way she pulled out her cell phone and called up Logan. "Logan, we got trouble! Get here as fast as ya can!"

At the X-Jet Logan tensed up; he knew something was going to happen nothing was ever easy. "Alright, do you know what's the problem is?" He asked running outside to find Sarah.

"Don't know only that apparently the town's been invaded or something, just hurry." She said on the other line.

"Alright hang in there." He turned the phone off and looked and saw Sarah outside doing some meditation. It was one of the things he was teacher her that he did at times to loosen up and to help keep his more aggressive side of his nature under wraps. "Sarah! Get your butt in here, the others need us!" She immediately jumped up and made a dead run to the jet. He couldn't help but be impressed by her reflexes but had no time to think on that, they had work to do.

Back in the town Sinister and his group were walking down one of the main streets. "Interesting place." Sinister said looking at the town.

"Yeah reminds me of one of those shows like The Andy Griffin Show." Toad said hopping along then stopped when he noticed the looks he was getting. "What? I like Ron Howard." The townspeople scattered seeing them.

Sabertooth sniffed the air and growled. "I think there are humans here as well as mutants but I can't be sure."

"There are." Psi-co said grinning. "I've been reading their minds, this whole town is a goody two shoes town with humans and mutants living in harmony and all that crap. We may have to do a little spring cleaning."

Sabertooth grinned. "I like that thought."

Just suddenly an elderly lady seemed to shimmer in front of them. "I am Sophia one of the Elders of this town, you are not welcome here."

Sister grinned showing his sharp teeth. "Well my dear lady we're here to offer your people a choice. To be part of the greatness that is to come."

Sophia scowled at him. "Greatness is not what I would call what you offer. This is a town of peace and we will not tolerate you or join in Magneto's mad dreams."

"Hey how did she know who we worked for?" Lance asked his team.

"Because young man we're not out of touch, I recognized a few of you from the news and our own telepaths managed to tell us who you are, at least until they fell to the ground screaming." She glared at them.

"Oops." Psi-co said chuckling. "I meant to give them seizures but I can fix that if they try that again."

Sinister stepped up right in front of her towering over the woman. "Well if you are not with us, then you're against us. I know that sounds cliché but nothing else describes it so well." He went to grab her but his hand passed through her, he raised an eyebrow. "Interesting, astral projection."

Sophia smiled at up at him. "You really thought I would be stupid enough to show myself in person? Besides this may be a town of people who just want to live in peace." Her face darkened as she glared at them all. "But we will defend ourselves."

"You and what army lady?" Toad shouted. "Heh, I always wanted to say that yo."

"This one." She said ginning and faded away and behind her was the Protectors. In the lead was a man in just past twenty with brown hair and a jeans jacket shirt. "The name is Michael also known as Gun. This here is Panzer." He gestured to the blond haired Jaeger. " That's her brother Jasper." The tall winged, multi-eyed boy nodded. "That's Jedi." A black clad figure seemed to ready himself for a fight as his eyes glowed blue from the eyeholes in his mask.

"That's Fantasy." Marianne Jong and plain looking girl in a black bodysuit glared at them, Michael hated the fact his girlfriend was out here mainly because she never could get the fighting part down but he knew she wouldn't sit by and let their town be overrun. "That's there's Rue." Mally the red furred kangaroo type mutant was bobbing up and down in a kilt his dreadlocks all behind his head, as he was getting ready for a fight. "And those are Venus and Damien." The last two members the girl blue hair and black highlights with wings on her back and her boyfriend with his long black hair tied behind his head.

Sinister regarded them for a moment before speaking. "That's it? That's what you're going to throw at us?" He turned to the others. "Let's teach these mutants just how out of their league they are shall we?"

"Fine with me." Juggernaut said walking forward and cracking his knuckles.

Rogue and the others ran onto the scene and saw nothing but carnage the town Defenders were trying their best against the Acolytes but weren't doing so well mainly due to Juggernaut. "Vince, Piotr try ta deal with Juggernaut." She told them they both nodded and went off after him.

"I'll go too." Slayer said and went off before she could say otherwise.

Rogue looked to Kitty. "We got to help out where we can and keep any civilians out of this." Kitty nodded and ran with her down the street.

Mally was squared off against Toad seeing the slightly slimy and smelly kid jumping around he figured it would be nice to see who had the better legs. He jumped in front of him. "Hello mate." He said in his Australian accent. "Mind o'little challenge?"

"Hey man no one can beat me!" Toad jumped at him but Mally easily jumped over Toad. "Hey! No fair yo!" He shot out his tongue out at Mally but he dodged it and leaped inside his attack and kicked Toad sending him flying.

"Now that was rippa!" Mally said feeling proud of his first victory.

"Heads up kangaroo-boy!" He turned to see Lance, he used his powers to create and Earthquake that had him trouble standing. Mally fell to the ground unable to balance himself. Then felt himself being lifted up as something cold wrapped around him. He looked and saw a scary looking pale man in red armor and blond hair sneer at him with a tentacle wrapped around him.

"Pathetic." Omega Red said in his heavily Russian accent. He threw Mally through a window. He hit hard against the counter of the shop but his body had a shield around his body, but it wasn't perfect and he did feel the impact. He wasn't as hurt as he could have been but he did groan as he got up.

"This hero thing isn't as it seems on the tele." He muttered as he tried to get back out.

Jedi had seen Avalanche take down one of his teammate and charged him enhancing his speed with his energy. He could use his energy to enhance his physical abilities and telekinetic abilities too. It worked like the Force in those Star Wars movies he loved and was why he took the name Jedi as a codename. He did a flying kick to Lance's back and sent him flying into Omega Red. The Russian wasn't phased but Lance did feel fine hitting the bigger mutant and was dazed and aching from the kick. Omega Red growled at the little boy and marched forward.

Venus was flying and sending out energy bolts while Damien was blowing up anything he could to slow them down. Rogue had flow in and was wrestling with Blob. "You're…a…lot stronger." Fred grunted out as their hands were locked in a grappling hold.

Rogue had to admit she loved her new strength, she finally felt like she could take care of her own but she still had her other powers although she didn't like to use them she grinned at him. "Ya forgot mah original power Fred." Fred was wide eyed as he noticed her hands weren't gloved and he wasn't wearing anything on his hands. For years he had never seen her without gloves and he never had to check before. Her grip intensified as she started to absorb him until he passed out.

Sinister, Psi-co, and Sabertooth on the other hand were having trouble. When the fight started they found themselves in a fantasy world. There were bizarre creatures all around them. What they were experiencing was Marianne's power; she had the power of illusions and was holding it on as best she could. "Anne watch out!" Michael called out to her. She saw Juggernaut coming after her and tried her powers on him but they didn't seem to be working.

Michael grabbed some pebbles and rocks and with his power they launched like bullets at him but they bounced harmlessly off his armor. Michael wanted to shout out once more fearing that his girlfriend and the love of his life was going to get seriously harmed or worse killed when a blur hit Juggernaut and he staggered back.

He saw Vincent in front of him. "You!"

Mayhem grinned that predatory grin of his. "You want a shot at the title big man?" He said refereeing to how they fought and he lost the last time they met.

"You're little girlfriend won't help you out now." He sneered at him.

"No…but I got a few friends who would like to say hello." He said not flinching and Piotr walked up armoring up as Slayer pulled out his huge mystic sword from his back.

Marianne breathed a sigh of relief but Sinister and Psi-co had had enough of this and they both focused their minds tracing the source of this back and sent a mental assault at her. She screamed as she grabbed her head and fell to her knees. Michael was at her side immediately. He heard a roar as Sabertooth was charging towards them but a few garage cans hit him from the air their contents scattering all over him and around him.

He looked up to see Jasper flying over him. "You little punk! You think that's funny?" He yelled out trying to see if the kid would fly low enough for him to jump up and rip his wings off.

"No." He turned to see a blond girl. This was Jaeger, Jasper's twin sister also known as Panzer. "He's just giving me ammo to use against you kitty cat man." He snarled at her but she activated her powers, which was the ability to blow up anything the size of a football, and with all that garbage on and around him Sabertooth was soon covered in explosions.

Mayhem and Colossus were doing their best against Juggernaut. Vince was dodging easily and countering Pietro wasn't as fast unfortunately. In his metal form he was incredibly strong and durable but he was slow and Juggernaut had hit him with a wild punch sending him through the wall of a building. Slayer had gotten behind him and tried an overhand slash but to his utter surprise it bounced off his armor. In fact he hit so hard the vibrations cause him to drop the sword from the pain of holding it. "What the hell?!" He used his Eye to see what this man was.

He didn't like what he saw. He was mystically enhanced to be sure but from what? Then he saw it…Ruby Gem of Cyttorak. Said to be formed from a deity by the magic of The Ancients. It was the knowledge of The Ancients that was also how his sword was said to be created and that posed a problem. Since Juggernaut couldn't break his sword but it also meant his sword wouldn't get through the armor.

"It's never easy." He muttered as he gathered up some energy to increase his strength having to go at it the old fashioned say.

Jedi was having trouble with Omega Red; the man was like no other warrior he had ever met, the man was focused and ruthless. He floated up high dodging another of those damn tentacles. He got one of those things wrapped around him once and he got a lot of pain as the things started to drain his life energy, and for him that wasn't good. Without his energy he would be too weak to stand a chance.

"Come down here and fight little boy." The Russian said to him.

"I'll have to admit you're one tough warrior." Jedi admitted.

"Warrior? HA! I am Omega Red! I am a living weapon! I am death manifested!" To prove his point he picked up a car and threw it at the mutant from Norway but the vehicle glowed blue as he used his telekinetic powers to stop it and send it back but with his tentacles he ripped it to shreds and leaped at him. Jedi levitated himself higher but his ankle was caught by one of the metal tentacles and Omega Red slammed him into the ground.

Jedi groaned as Omega Red started to walk over him smiling. He planned on ripping the boy's head right off. But one green haired girl had been watching. Riley had been walking to school when this had all gone down and had snuck a look. When seeing Tommy go down like that she had to do something. Her eyes glowed purple and aimed her hands and fired a green energy blasts to the back of Omega Red's head.

He staggered forward and turned to glare at the girl but she continued firing no matter how scared she was. He took the shots and slowly walked forward. Venus had seen this and flew overhead and added her own energy blasts. "That will not harm me!" He shouted but he started to glow blue and was lifted up in the air and flew back across the street. Jedi was panting from the load he had to lift and nodded his thanks to the girls.

It was at that moment the X-Jet roared overhead buzzing the battleground and landed not to far away. Logan and X23 in full combat gear ran down the ramp and into the battle. Sabertooth who had been healing after those explosives found himself facing X23. "Well if it ain't the mini-runt. Think you're as bad as your old man kid."

"Don't call me kid." She growled out and extended her hand and feet claws and jumped at him with a kick that was also a swipe at him with one of the claws. It cut him across the chest and he roared at the girl and jumped onto her but she grabbed the collar of his jacket and fell onto her back planted a foot onto his chest and used his momentum to thrown him onto his back.

She leaped up back to her feet smirking at Creed as he got up and glared at her.

Venus was doing well until the Morbius the living vampire flew up and grabbed her wings. She cried out as she fell to the ground hurt. He turned her onto her back and see looked up in terror as the pale faced young man with a mane of dark hair and bat-like nose, his eyes hidden behind dark shades and watched in horror as his mouth opened wide revealing large fangs and she knew what he was planning.

"I don't think so!" Mally said leaping in and kicking Morbius. The mutant vampire was sent flying but stopped in mid air and floated down. He growled at Mally baring his fangs and his black claw-like fingernails.

"I'm going to drink you dry furball." Morbius hissed.

"Leave him alone!" Venue shouted, normally a nice girl but when you threatened her friends she was someone you wouldn't want to face.

"You going to stop me girlie?"

"No, I am!" Morbius turned to see her boyfriend Damien and with his power blew up Morbius' shades. He howled in pain from both the shrapnel but that would heal. It was the light of day that was blinding him and he fell to his knees holding his hands to his eyes blinded and out of the fight.

Logan was battling it out with Sinister and was clawing him up but he kept on healing and then blasting Logan, and of course he healed from those. 'This could take awhile.' Logan thought to himself and he stabbed him in the leg and he cried out in pain but elbowed Logan in the head.

Rogue and Piotr had teamed up to fight Omega Red and Lance was looking for someone to take his anger out on but when he turned around he wasn't prepared to face her. He stopped when he saw Kitty looking at him. "What are you doing here?" They both asked at the same time.

"What do you like think? We're here to make contact with these people and you're here trashing the place!" Kitty shouted at him.

"Grow up Kitty. The world will never except us, Xavier's dream is pure fantasy."

"You idiot look around you!" Kitty snapped. "This whole town is proof that the Professor's dream is possible. Here mutants and humans live in peace."

"One town in a whole world won't do anything Kitty." Lance told her. "Magneto may be extreme but he's building a nation for us, he's making a place were all mutants can feel safe."

"Yeah under his rule. Everyone that isn't with him is against him Lance. Please don't do this." She begged.

Lance shook his head. "And do what? Join you guys? Been there done that and I don't belong. I'm not like you guys and I don't believe in Xavier either…I'm sorry Kitty but you know I wouldn't work out there…just like our relationship." He said sadly.

"It wasn't all bad you know." She said softly.

He nodded. "I know and I'll treasure those moments…but our time has come and gone Kitty, it was nice but we never would have lasted." He turned around and walked away from her. "Next time…we'll be enemies…so…please…don't get in my way, I don't want to fight you…"He said before leaving her standing there but she snapped out of it hearing someone cry out and saw someone partially buried in some debris and went to get them out.

Riley was watching things and thought maybe it was time to find a new place to be and when she started to move bumped into someone. She turned and gasped at the sight of a red headed boy with his hair in a ponytail, in a long black leather jacket with chains and studded leather. Psi-co grinned at her. "Well aren't you a pretty little thing." She was lifted up into the air her arms and legs being pulled so she was in a spread eagle position in the air. "I wonder if you're a screamer?" He 'pulled' on her limbs and she screamed feeling like they were going to be ripped from their sockets.

"Leave her alone!" Jedi yelled out and flung something as Psi-co hitting him in the ribs and causing him to drop Riley.

"Oh, that's it." Psi-co said seeing the mutant readied himself into a fighting position. "Sorry I don't fight like that." She sent a psychic blast into his mind and Thomas cried out in pain and crumbled to the ground, which surprised Psi-co since it was just a low lever attack and shouldn't have done that. He scanned the boy's mind and grinned. "So…you got a weakness against telepaths huh? Sucks to be you in a fight like someone like me then."

He looked around for ideas and grinned. He levitated Jedi into the air and then two cars. Thomas saw what was going to happen and used all his power to enhance his personal shield that acted like invulnerability but having a telepath go into his head always shorted out his powers and he was struggling. "And now it's time to say goodbye." Psi-co sang out as he flung the cars together and they exploded.

"Tommy!" Riley cried out to him seeing the explosion engulf him. 'Oh God no, not this.'

When the wreckage hit the ground surprisingly so did Thomas, his suit was in shreds and there were many cuts over his body. "Still alive?" Psi-co said surprised by that. "Damn…well let's try that again."

"NO!" Riley cried out and blasted him from behind but he created a TK shield.

"You really think you can sneak up on a telepath?" He asked annoyed.

"I don't care you leave him alone!" She cried out enraged at seeing him so hurt. Psi-co scuffed at her and turned his back to her and flung her back with his mind.

"Now where was I? Oh yes." He said walking towards him only to find Colossus standing in front of him. "Great the Tinman wants to play."

He just grinned at red headed mutant. "I don't think so, I'm just distracting you."

"From what?" But he sensed her too late and found himself falling into the ground and stopped when he was waist deep and his arms were stuck. "What!?" Then he saw Kitty phase up through the ground and he was prepared to give her the biggest headache in the world when he felt someone tap his shoulder he looked and right into the oncoming fist of Riley knocking him out.

"Thanks." She said quickly and ran over to Jedi. She looked him over. "Tommy. Come on please be alive." He groaned and opened his eyes and she smiled down at him. "Thanks for saving me you big lug."

"Are you alright?" He weakly asked.

"Yeah."

"You know I've been thinking…do…do you…" He tried to get the words out but even now he was too scared to finish.

She grinned at him. "If you're finally asking me out…the answer is yes and it's about time too." Thomas smiled up at her.

Mayhem and Vincent were just barely holding their own against Juggernaut. "Isn't there any way of taking this guy out?" Slayer shouted while ducking a blow and leaping over him and kicking him in the helmet.

"Yeah but you're not going to like it." Vincent said to him blasting Juggernaut in the chest.

"WHAT? I don't care just what the hell is it?" Slayer yelled out taking a blow with his forearm, which hurt like hell and was lucky it didn't break from the blow.

"We have to take his helmet off and to do that we got to unlatch it and he won't just stay still for that either." Vincent said blocking one punch that sent him going back a few feet and his own feet dung into the ground making two groves into the street. "Great that's going to ruin my shoes." He muttered.

"You're right…I don't like it." Slayer said. "It's never easy." He muttered under his breath. "How fast can you get those off?"

"Fast but he'll see me."

"You got that right punk, now stand still!" Juggernaut bellowed striking the ground and shattering the street with his strength.

"Just get ready!" Slayer said and began muttering something then a mist covering his body then seemed to wrap around his eyes. Slayer had to keep the spell up and hope the guy was going to take the helmet off while he did it.

Juggernaut was blindly swinging wildly hoping to hit the mystic mutant and Vince sped his way above him and as quickly as he could unlatched the helmet and took it off and jumped off with it. Slayer dropped the spell. "Ha! So you got my helmet off, there's no Jean or Xavier to help you out. You guys are…so…" He never finished as he fell to the ground and they say Steward and the Elder and a lot of other people behind them, nearly the entire town in fact.

"There are more then just those two telepaths in this world." Steward said smiling down as the giant man on the ground.

The Acolytes looked around them as they found themselves now surrounded by the people of the town and the three Elders stood in front. "I suggest you all leave." Callahan said sternly. "You're not welcome here and tell Magneto the only way he'll be allowed in here is to start a war with us and all that are united with us."

Sinister looked at his beaten team and scowled. "Very well…but one day, we will be back."

"Perhaps." Sophia said with a small smile.

"But not today." Steward finished glaring at them. The Acolytes picked up their fallen members and went back to the Dark Wing and soon left. There was a cheering from the people of Town X but it was short lived as they began to clean up and heal those that had been injured.

It was a long and hard day. The healers, the Doctor a man named Daniel and Marianne who was ordering around other like it was second nature although her boyfriend insisted she rest but she kept insisting she would after they were finished. It pretty much went on like that with those two but you could see the love between them.

Venus was being looked over by her boyfriend Damien as the golden skinned Josh healed her wings. Thomas was being looked over by Riley not that he was complaining from that, and the other town Protectors were helping with the cleanup with the X-Men and other, both human and mutants together.
