Chapter Nine: morlocks

Storm was speaking with one of the molocks when Caliban, tapped her on the shoulder and whispered something in her ear. Her eyes grew big and nodded her head.

"Hank, follow me please." She told Beast, who followed her to an area where no one else was.

"Orroro what's wrong?"

"Caliban believes that he saw soldiers in the sewers. I don't know how they know of this place but all that matters is that they know and we've got to get out of here now. I'll tell every one if you will go with Caliban and keep watch. Head back here if you see of hear anything."

"Okay, good luck."

"All right take everyone to my safe house not too far from here. You remember where it is right?" Beast said as he and Caliban along with a few others walked off to protect the fort. Storm nodded her head and walked over to the morlocks.

"Everyone please listen to me very closely." Storm whispered softly levitating herself high enough for everyone to see her. "We have reason to believe that the soldiers are now in the sewers. So we must get out of here now. We don't know what they will do to us if we are captured or how they got the information."

"Where will we go?" Marrow, a young morlock who was capable of using her bones, which stuck out of her skin, as weapons, asked. She lived beneath the ground because people didn't like her appearance and this was truly the last place they could hide.

"I know exactly where we'll go but for the sake of secrecy you will have to trust me and simply follow." Storm lowered herself and found the back door to the chamber they were in and before she went threw, Andi, Mian, Knole and Nethogent approached her.

"Storm, we'll stay behind so that you can get away." Andi said bravely even though she was scared to death. She was glade that her mother had gotten them out of the Mansion fast enough so that they wouldn't have to fight the soldiers but Theressa wasn't here and neither were any of the other older, more experienced X-men. So they would have to do this alone.

"Very, well but please be careful Andrea."

"We will." Mian said as they walked out of the chamber and into the tunnels that Hank and Caliban had gone threw. Mian and Knole were against one wall and Andi and Nethogent were on the other. Andi drew her claws and Mian did the same. They walked like this for awhile, until they saw four shadows dancing along the wall. Mian leaned over and saw four soldiers and looked at Andi, who mouthed, One-Two-Three. On the count of three all four of them lunged at the soldiers the soldiers put up a pretty good fight but not good enough. The first thing that Theressa had taught the kids was how to take your enemy's weapon away and then knock them down for negotiations and that's exactly what they did.

Although Knole and Nethogent just knocked their soldiers out cold, Andi and Mian grabbed the guns away from them, kicked the in the stomach which sent them flying into a wall.

Mian came up to her soldier and placed the gun on his back and said, "Don't move."

The solider listened although when you have a

90 pointed at your back held by a girl who has never shot an actual gun before, you tend to do what she says. Andi on the other hand took another approach.

She placed the gun strap around the soldier's neck and said, "Call your men off now or I'll kill you and your partner and then I'll go after everyone of your men."

"All right….but loosen…..up a bit so I can talk." The soldier said barley able to get out his words. Andi loosened up and the man reached for his walkie-talkie.

"All units, this is Colonel Roberts, stand down. I repeat stand down by order of Colonel Roberts."

"Thank you now, where are you holding the mutants you've captured?"

"I don't know. I just do my job and don't ask questions." The soldier lied and Andi tightened her grip on the man's neck.

"Okay…Okay…"

Andi, loosened it just a little bit.

"We work out of a building in the Sonoran Desert, just east of the New Mexico Line. I swear that's all I know!" Knole stepped behind Andi and grabbed the gun away from her. Mian put her' gun down but kept her claws on the soldier.

"Andi come on, we know where to go." Knole said trying to calm Andi down but he and Mian knew that that was very unlikely because she was so much like Theressa. Once you got her started she didn't stop until it was over.

"Yeah but how we going to get there?" Nethogent asked, "Wolverine took the X-jet and that's the fastest thing we've got." Andi looked at the soldier and thought of how he got here and knew that that was their way out.

"Maybe the fastest think but not the only thing we've got."
