Chapter 3: The Institute and the X-Men
PACIFIC OCEAN
Flying over the ocean at super-sonic speeds, the new students of Charles Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters had started taking a well needed nap. They wouldn't be seeing their old friends or family for a while, and also had a hard day of packing and other stuff. Kurama was the only one who wasn't asleep however; he was gazing out the window, looking as they passed the clouds. This was the young fox demon's first trip away from home, other than Demon World. He would be starting Junior Year at Bayville High, since he was the oldest in the group.
"Hey, Kurama," Hank said as he walked out of the cockpit, "You okay?"
"Yes," Kurama replied, starting to get worried about his mother, "I…am just worried how my mom will get by without me."
"You have been away from her before, right?" Hank asked, started to bond with the fox demon.
"Yes, but I always worry," Kurama replied, "During the Dark Tournament, one of the demons I was fighting, Roto, tried to use my mother against me. I luckily planted a death plant on him before he could press a button signaling his brother to attack her."
"I see…" Hank said in understanding, "Guess, in cases like those, you should worry. But, you have to remember, your mother can take care of herself most of the time right, and she is getting married, correct?"
"Yes, she is getting married soon," Kurama replied, joy coming back into his voice, "Thanks for helping me, Hank."
"No problem. I bet being a 1000 year old fox demon; you probably know more things than me, right?" Hank joked, and they both had a hardy, yet quiet laugh.
"Probably, I think we should test each other when we get to the Institute," Kurama laughed, and noticed that they were already over land, "This jet is remarkably quick."
"You have heard of the SR-71 Black Bird, haven't you?" Hank asked, and Kurama nodded, "Well, the Professor needed an aircraft that could travel over great distances and high speeds. Using his family's fortune, he bought a SR-71 Black Bird and enhanced it, making it even faster and more durable. Also, he made it a multi-passenger aircraft for transportation."
"Fascinating," Kurama said, and then he looked over the farmland, "Where are we going to land?"
"The Institute has a hangar for the X-Jet, right underneath the school," Hank replied, "Due to the plane's stealth capabilities, we can fly in unnoticed."
"That's good," Kurama gave a sigh of relief, not wanting to bother the other people near the Institute.
Genkai then walked over to the still sleeping Yusuke, stuck her finger in her mouth, and then jammed it into his ear, "Time to wake up, dimwit."
"YEOCH!" Yusuke screamed, receiving a spirit power charged wet willy, and waking Keiko and Kuwabara up, "What the hell was that for grandma?!"
"We're here, Yusuke," Genkai said calmly, then walked over to her seat again.
"Already…?" Kuwabara asked, taking a deep yawn, "It's only been three hours…"
"The X-Jet can cover that distance a lot faster than we thought," Kurama explained, seeing his friends wipe their eyes.
'Everyone, fasten you seatbelts and turn your seats into their upright positions,' Xavier told his new students and old friend telepathically.
Everyone but Yusuke, Kurama, Hank, and Genkai were freaked out by that. Keiko had never had anyone talk in her head before, and wasn't sure she would get use to it.
"D…d-did someone just talk in my head?" Kuwabara asked nervously, looking around the entire jet.
"Relax, Kuwabara, that was just Professor Xavier using his telepathy to contact us," Hank reassured the young man, who sat back down in his seat.
"Does he do that often?" Keiko asked, starting to wonder if she belonged here.
"Only when he has to contact us," Hank told her, "Wait till you see inside."
The X-Jet glided towards the back yard, where it would fly into a secret opening. The door leading to the hangar opened, and Xavier and Logan guided it in. The opening closed, leaving just the grassy area where the door was.
The hangar lit up, illuminating the chrome colored room. There was another huge door, right in the back of the X-Jet, which was for take off out of the cliffs that were behind the mansion. The Professor, Logan, and Ororo walked into the passenger area where the new students and Genkai were getting their bags.
Hank put some of Keiko's bags over his shoulder, wanting to help her out. Yusuke just had two suitcases, full of clothes, other essentials, and his DS. Kuwabara just had one suitcase filled with clothes and essentials, plus his Gameboy Advance. Kurama had his clothing, but also he brought books with him, in just two suitcases.
"Now, show them the way," Genkai told the Professor and his colleagues as she walked down the ramp, "I'm going to my room."
"You already read where your room is in my mind, haven't you, Genkai?" Xavier asked playfully, and she turned around and winked, "Good, Ororo, could you show Keiko to her room please?"
"Of course Professor," Ororo replied cheerfully, "Keiko, please follow me."
"Alright," Keiko followed Ororo, and Hank followed her since he was carrying one of her bags.
"Now, Logan, will you show the boys to their rooms?" Xavier asked, and Logan grunted.
"…of course, Professor, please, follow me…" Logan replied, as he waved his hand to guide the two teenage boys and the one kitsune to follow him.
They complied, and started following Logan threw the chrome interior of the basement. Kuwabara thought he just walked into a sci-fi movie as they passed threw the circular doors with an 'X' on them. The two teenagers and kitsune were amazed at what they saw; it was a paradise of nerds, geeks, etc.!
"Logan, what is this place?" Yusuke asked, seeing the signs over the door ways.
"This is the area where you will train, Yusuke," Logan replied, still walking forward, "That room over there, the Danger Room, is where you will be honing your skills."
Yusuke nodded slowly, still following Logan with his two friends. They reached the elevator, and stepped into it. Kuwabara can't believe that the elevator was even high tech, the digital readout and the soundless rising effect of the elevator made him get even happier.
"Wow! This is so sweet!" Kuwabara grinned widely, rubbing his hands together.
"Since when did you become a techno-geek, Kuwabara?" Yusuke joked, and Kuwabara gave him the evil eye.
Kurama hid a chuckle and Logan huffed. They reached the first floor of the mansion, and the metallic doors opened. Xavier was the last one to arrive in the mansion, while Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama had started taking a look around the huge main lobby of the mansion. Their mouths were agape, and Yusuke noticed that Keiko hadn't gone up to her room yet.
"She wanted to check out the scenery," Hank explained to them, still holding her bag.
"This…is incredible…" Keiko gasped as she looked around the huge lobby, "Oh…yeah, my room."
"Just follow me, dear," Ororo told her warmly, and they both walked up the staircase followed closely by Hank, who was still carrying her bag.
Just then, a teenager with red shades and a demon with blue fur, yellow eyes, three fingers, and an arrow tipped tail walked into the room.
"What? What is that?" Kuwabara stuttered, pointing at the demon-looking creature, 'Man, I wish I had my spirit powers now!'
Yusuke and Kurama remained at ease, since they didn't sense a malicious or demonic aura coming off the creature.
"Vhoa, calm down dude," the creature told Kuwabara in a German accent.
"Well, you're not a demon, that's for sure," Yusuke said, as he put his hand out, "I'm Yusuke Urameshi."
"Cool, I'm Kurt Wagner," the demon-looking creature shook Yusuke's hand and then Kurama's.
"Nice too meet you," Kurama said, shaking Kurt's other hand, "Call me Kurama at the Institute, but at school it is Shuichi Minamino."
"Vhy do you have two names?" Kurt asked, "Oh yeah, vhis is Scott Summers."
"I have a kitsune, or fox demon inside of me," Kurama replied cheerfully, shaking Scott's hand, but he saw the look on Kurt's face, "Oh, don't worry, he isn't one of those evil demons."
"And who is this guy?" Scott asked, pointing to Kuwabara.
"Oh, I'm Kazuma Kuwabara," Kuwabara replied proudly, "Uh, so why do you have rose colored shades?"
"They are actually ruby quartz," Scott explained, pointing at his glasses, "You see, I fire optic blasts threw my eyes, and they are pretty powerful. If I let it all out, I could destroy an entire mountain with one blast."
"That's cool," Yusuke said, and he began shaking Scott's hand, "I can do kind of the same thing with my spirit energy."
"You can?" Scott asked, kind of surprised.
"Yep," Yusuke then looked for something near him, "When I focus my spirit energy into my finger, I can fire off a blast; it's called the Spirit Gun."
"And vhat can you do, Kurama?" Kurt asked, and the red head reached into his hair.
He took out a rose, "Wait for it…"
The rose then formed into a long whip, "You see, I can manipulate any plant due to Yoko Kurama's blood flowing threw my veins."
"Now that is really cool," Scott commented, and looked at Kuwabara, "You?"
"If my spirit energy would come back, I could form two spirit swords in my hands!" Kuwabara replied, wishing he didn't use that Trial Sword, "Just got to wait a little longer until my spirit energy returns."
"Okay…" Scott then caught the look that Logan was flashing him, "You guys better follow to your rooms' right now…I'll…uh…go get the others…"
Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama then turned to see the glare that Logan was giving them. Yusuke started checking if his powers still worked, and even Kurama did. Kuwabara's legs started shaking, and Logan grunted.
"Just follow me," Logan told them, sounding mad, since he didn't want to waste anymore time, "Well…MOVE!"
They all jumped into place and started carrying their bags. Not even Toguro, the strongest opponent they ever faced was as scary as this guy.
"Logan is starting to make Hiei look like a little kitten," Kuwabara whispered into Yusuke's ear.
"Yeah, really," Yusuke nodded, walking up the staircase.
They went down the hall to two empty bedrooms. One had one bed and the other had two. All the beds were ready, and there were two dressers and two desks in one room and one dresser and one desk and even a bookcase in the other.
"Now you can choose which room you want…" Logan told them, and he walked away.
"Well, you get the single room, Kurama. We'll bunk together," Yusuke told his friend generously.
"Thanks," Kurama shook his friend's hand, and walked into his new room.
They went into their rooms and unpacked. Kurama placed the books that he had brought onto the bookcase, placing his favorites on the top. Yusuke and Kuwabara played janken for either side of the room. Yusuke won, beating Kuwabara two times out of three. They unpacked the clothes that they brought, and put their handhelds onto the bureaus.
After they finished unpacking, they met Keiko in the lounge, who was talking to a tall red haired girl and a shorter, about Keiko's height girl with long brown hair. Kurama then noticed a girl with white face makeup on, green lipstick, short brown hair with a white stripe in it, and she was wearing a green fishnet shirt over a tank top, and black pants and gloves.
"Hey! Yusuke!" Keiko called over to him, and he sighed and walked over.
"So you must be Yusuke Urameshi," the tall red head said calmly to him.
"Yeah, and you are?"
"Jean Grey," the red head replied, "And this is Kitty Pryde."
"Like so nice to meet you!" Kitty gleefully said, shaking his hand.
"Yeah, okay?" Yusuke started to wonder if he should avoid this hyper active girl.
Kurama had walked over to the gothic girl, "Hello, my name's Kurama."
"Why aren't you saying 'hello' to the others?" the gothic girl asked harshly.
"It's just you looked like you were lonely," Kurama replied, and then he smiled, and reached for the rose bud in his hair, and formed it into a full grown flower, "For you."
The gothic girl was a little taken by this and blushed, and then took the rose from him, "Why thank you. Meh name's Rogue by the way."
"Well, nice to meet you, Rogue," Kurama said, giving her a warm smile, making her blush even more, and then he walked over to the others.
Kuwabara sat down on the couch next to an African-American boy with blonde hair; he was playing Tony Hawk's Pro-Skater 4 on the Playstation 2.
"Hey, mind if I join you?" Kuwabara asked, "I'm pretty sweet at this game."
The African-American boy then looked over to him, and tossed a controller over to him, "Let's play two-player, okay?"
"Yeah," Kuwabara grinned, eagerly taking the controller, "My name's Kuwabara by the way."
"Cool, mine's Evan," the African-American boy replied after they both chose their characters, and they began playing.
"So, are there anymore mutants here?" Keiko asked Jean, who nodded.
"Well, there's Amara, she can control fire, there's Ray, who can project electricity, there's Sam, who can make himself invulnerable when he 'powers up', there's also Jubilee, she can create 'fireworks' which have some destructive force, there's Bobby, who can generate ice, and finally there is Jamie, the youngest member who can create copies of himself when he hits something," Jean replied, "Oh, and there is also Tabitha, she could make energy time bombs, but she moved out after an incident with her father. She is living with the Brotherhood now."
"Brotherhood?" Keiko asked Jean, wondering who they were.
"You'll meet them tomorrow, when school starts," Professor X interjected, wheeling himself in, "You all have Danger Room sessions first thing in the morning."
"What? School tomorrow?" Kuwabara groaned, and Xavier nodded.
"It is Tuesday, you know, and you still have register at Bayville High," Xavier told them sternly, "Curfew is in an hour, so have that long to get acquainted."
"Make that half an hour, Charles," the raspy feminine voice of Genkai interjected, as she walked into the room, "I want to see if the dimwit has been slacking off since the Dark Tournament."
"What? You can't be serious grandma!" Yusuke gasped, and Genkai shook her head.
"And the rest of you are also going to get a tougher training schedule while I am here," Genkai told them, "You need to be prepared for whatever is out there, so I am going to make you into tip top shape for the future!"
Everyone wasn't too happy about that, since they usually were able to stay up till 10:30 on school nights, and Yusuke and Kuwabara usually stayed up till midnight, and Kurama was the only one who went to bed at 11:00.
From the balcony, Logan was smirking while smoking a cigar, 'I think I like this Genkai person already…'
Kurama decided to retire in early since he wanted to do some reading. He said his goodnights to his new and old friends, and walked up the stairs. Rogue decided to follow him, and check to see what he was doing.
A knock was heard on his door, "It's open."
Rogue walked in to see Kurama putting on his pajama shirt, "Oh…sorry…"
"It's quite all right, please come in, come in," Kurama urged her, and she complied, "Is there something you want to speak to me about?"
"Well, it's not everyday that a young man forms a rose in front of a gal's eyes," Rogue joked, pointing to where she put the rose, "I guess you have the ability to form plants, right?"
"Not exactly," Kurama replied, "In my Yoko Kurama form, I can form plants out of nothing, but in my human form I can only manipulate the plants, from just a weed, seed, or bud, using my spirit energy."
"That's cool," Rogue said, clearing the hair out of her eyes, and looked over to his book case, "You have a lot of books."
"Well, I couldn't take them all from my old house," Kurama told her, "My favorites are near my bed."
"The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, what do ya know, we have the same taste in literature," Rogue chuckled, and she began to blush, "Ya know, there is a bookstore at the mall I could take you to so you can get some more books, if you want…"
"I'd like that," Kurama replied cheerfully, and Rogue smiled and walked out the door, "Good night, Rogue."
"Good night, Kurama," Rogue said as she closed the door, and felt her heart racing, 'Why am I feeling this way? I can never touch him…'
Rogue shook off the feeling she was having about Kurama, and hastily walked to her room.
NEXT DAY
The tired groups of students were waken up at 4:30 AM by Genkai, and were led down to the Danger Room. While the other students were suiting up, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama were in regular fighting clothes. Keiko, since she had discovered her abilities, if she had any, was allowed to sleep in later since Genkai and Xavier didn't want her to hurt herself.
"Man…I thought I was done with the 4:30 wake up call…" Yusuke yawned while he wiped his eye, "Well, might as well get this over with…"
"Yeah…sure…" Kuwabara yawned deeply, then looked over to Kurama, "How…could you not be tired, Kurama?"
"I'm used to waking up early," Kurama explained, watching as Yusuke and Kuwabara began to stretch.
The street clothes that Yusuke had on were a basic tee shirt and jeans, as well as sneakers. Kuwabara wrapped bandage tape below his ribcage to keep his gut in, and had on a white over shirt that kept his manly chest exposed and white pants, plus just normal boots. Kurama had on a traditional blue vest with a dragon symbol on it that draped over his waist, and underneath that was a long sleeved shirt, and he was wearing white pants with martial arts shoes.
"I really don't like the sound, 'Danger Room' guys…" Kuwabara muttered as he followed Yusuke and Kurama to the door leading to the Danger Room, "I can just hear my bones breaking…"
"Calm down Kuwabara," Yusuke told his taller friend, "You were the second best fighter at Sarayashiki Junior High, remember, and that was before you got your spirit powers, so you'll do just fine."
They waited for fifteen minutes, hearing the laser sounds, buzz saws, things falling, and puffing sounds coming from the Danger Room. Kuwabara was getting more nervous by the minute, since his powers weren't working at the moment. Yusuke had nodded off, and Kurama was busy reading a book. The tall teenager was stumped on how they could be so calm.
The Danger Room opened, and Scott came out first followed by Jean, then Rogue, then Evan, then Kitty, and finally Kurt. They all had strange black uniforms that had an 'X' on them.
"Hey Scott, what's with the Halloween costumes?" Yusuke asked, and Scott grinned for a second as he wiped his forehead.
"They're not costumes, Yusuke," Scott told him, "You see, we are Professor Xavier's oldest students. We're the X-Men."
"Okay," Yusuke said, starting to take all of that in, "So, what do you do besides train here and study?"
"We basically go out and find new mutants, and also we try to stop mutants and others from causing trouble," Scott explained, as Jean brought out some water bottles from the locker rooms, "Thanks."
"Well, I hope you guys are ready," Evan said, walking over to them, well, more like riding his skateboard over to them, "You guys may be candidates to be X-Men, so they want to test you out."
"Vhat Genkai lady though, she is more brutal vhan Logan," Kurt told them, "She didn't even let us get a break in there!"
"That's Genkai for ya," Yusuke joked him, "I trained for six weeks with her to enhance my spirit powers, it worked, but it was brutal. Then, we all fought in the Dark Tournament, and I had an even tougher time, try sleeping for only two hours each night for five weeks?"
"Yeesh! Vhat sounds really bad!" Kurt gasped, and Yusuke smirked.
"It was worth it," Yusuke told Kurt, "I was able to get much stronger because of Genkai's training."
"Like, how did you deal with it?" Kitty asked, after taking a big gulp of water, "I mean that type of schedule could take a toll on your social life."
"I basically didn't have a social life back home," Yusuke replied, "I am Earth's Spirit Detective after all, so it was skipping school to go on cases most of the time. Kuwabara was a tag along at first…"
"Hey!" Kuwabara snapped, sounding insulted.
"You didn't know what you were getting into," Yusuke clarified, "When I had to stop the Saint Beasts, which was after my first batch of Genkai training, Kuwabara tagged along. Kurama also was there, since he and this other demon, Hiei, were trying to get pardons for a crime that they committed a while ago."
"What was the crime?" Kitty asked, then the sound of the intercom turning on stopped Yusuke from explaining.
"Kuwabara, report to the Danger Room for your test," the raspy voice of Logan commanded, and Kuwabara gulped, "Now."
"Well…nice knowing you guys…" Kuwabara took a deep breath, and then walked into the Danger Room.
In the control room over the Danger Room, Logan talked into the microphone, "Just relax kid, we are just going to evaluate your abilities right now."
"Yeah…sure…" Kuwabara breathed nervously, "Just go easy on me; I can't use my spirit power you know!"
"I put it on easy for ya, so just calm down," Logan told him, and pressed the button, "Begin!"
All of a sudden, laser cannons appeared and started firing at Kuwabara. He quickly jumped and dodged the blast of light, and then started to get hit. The blasts hurt, but didn't break the skin. He started running around the room, trying not to get cornered by the lasers. When he reached the other side of the room, the lasers stopped firing, and walls rose from the floor, boxing him in.
"Hey! What is this?" Kuwabara yelled, then he growled, "Okay…"
He wound up his strongest punch, and knocked down the metal wall, and began to run with more of metallic walls rising around him. He either jumped over them or kicked them down.
"Hm, impressive," Ororo, in wearing her X-Men outfit commented, as she watched Kuwabara perform, "He seems to have a degree of super strength and agility."
"I agree, Storm," the Professor nodded in agreement, watching the young teenager almost effortlessly knocking down the metal barriers he put in his way.
Kuwabara leapt into the middle of the Danger Room, getting a little tired. Then, buzz saws appeared and he silently cursed his luck. He leapt over them, trying not to get cut. He was looking a little funny with the expression on his face, and he began running faster and faster, trying not to get cut, and then the saws went back into their compartments.
"Okay, Kuwabara, one last test," Logan told him, activating the robots.
All of a sudden, 20 humanoid robots rose out of the floor. Kuwabara grinned, and then cracked his knuckles.
"No sweat!" Kuwabara then ran head long at the robots, kicking the first one down with a front kick.
The farthest away from him began firing weak blasts of energy at him, but he managed to avoid it. He grabbed one of the robots and hurled it into a group of them. He then finished off the last ones with a series of punches and kicks, and turned around and gave a victory sign to those in the control room.
"Not to shabby, eh?" Kuwabara grinned, still presenting his victory sign.
"Beginner's luck…" Logan grumbled, then went for the microphone, "All right, Kuwabara, you can get out now, good job today."
Kuwabara walked confidently out of the Danger Room, completely forgetting his fatigue. The younger X-Men congratulated him for a good job.
"Nice moves man," Evan said as he shook Kuwabara's hand, "You got to teach me some of those moves."
"Sure, so how was that, Urameshi…?" Kuwabara then noticed that Yusuke had nodded off again, "Oh, well, he missed my triumph."
"Ah hope you know, darling, you had the easiest setting," Rogue told him, shooting down Kuwabara in flames, "But, you did do well out there."
"Gee, thanks…" Kuwabara said as he sat down.
"Alright, Kurama, report to the Danger Room," Logan announced, and Kurama sighed and put down the book he was reading.
He quietly went into the Danger Room, and Logan looked down at him. He decided to put it on a higher setting, since he could use his abilities.
"Kurama, I have it set on level 6, good luck," Logan told him, and Kurama nodded.
The fox demon took out his extra rose bud, and formed it into his Rose Whip. Laser cannons, more, much more than the ones that came out and fired against Kuwabara appeared out of the sides of the Danger Room. They began firing at him, and he deflected the bolts of energy with his whip. He leapt into the air, and cut the first row of laser turrets with his Rose Whiplash, without getting any damage. Latching onto one of the destroyed laser cannons, he launched himself at the others, slashing them to ribbons or making them explode from just a touch of his unbreakable Rose Whip.
That test was over, and Logan activated the hologram, which sent Kurama into a war zone. Tanks rolled over to him, and they began shelling him. He jumped over them and cut them in half with his rose whip. Then, he dropped a few seeds into the ground, and hopped away from the two other tanks that were approaching him. All of a sudden, a tree shot out of the ground, knocking both tanks over, and he finished them off with his Rose Whiplash.
"Now there's something you don't see everyday," Hank commented, as Logan started typing in the code for Kurama's final test.
The hologram disappeared, including the tree that Kurama had grown. The robots appeared, but they were more advanced, and there were more of them.
"This is your final test, Kurama," Logan told the fox demon, and all the robots started attacking him.
Jumping into the air, Kurama slashed the robots with his Rose Whip. He then began to slash in a star, and launched a wave of energy at the robots, destroying them all. He landed, and turned the whip back into a rose bud, and put it back into his hair.
"Now…I have to admit, that was impressive," Logan conceded, "Well, Kurama, you can go now."
Kurama exited the Danger Room, and dusted the soot off of his vest, and got greeted by the X-Men.
"Those were some really nice moves Kurama," Scott commented, "I never saw anything like that."
"Yeah, that was something," Jean said, because even she had trouble on level five of the Danger Room, especially all by herself.
"Yeah…it really was…" Rogue said, and then she shook those thoughts out of her head, "Now, I think it's Yusuke's turn."
"Now…Yusuke…hey-what the?" Logan yelled into the intercom, like he was being pushed.
"WAKE UP, DIMWIT!" the raspy feminine voice of Genkai rang over the intercom, waking Yusuke up in a hurry, "Now, back to you, Logan."
"Yeah, thanks, Yusuke, report to the Danger Room for your test," Logan said, getting back into the seat that Genkai pushed him out of.
Yusuke yawned, and entered the Danger Room, "Man Genkai, did you have to scream so loud?"
"It was the only way to wake you up, dimwit!" Genkai retorted, "Put it on the highest setting."
"Are you nuts? Not even I could take that!" Logan asked, and then he got the look that Genkai shot at him, "Well, I hope you like your new student being extra crispy."
Logan turned the setting up to level 10. He could only get up to level 8, so he knew this was going to be tough.
Saws and laser cannons appeared in the Danger Room, and Yusuke took a defensive stance. He dodged the laser fire, and bluish energy formed around his fists. He deflected the bolts of energy, and slammed his fist into the saws. It was like a ripple effect, whenever he launched a punch, he destroyed more of the Danger Room's 'toys'. The bigger cannons then appeared, and fired huge bolts of non-lethal energy at him. Jumping off the metal floor, he slammed his fist onto the giant cannon. Turning around, he braced his hand and launched his own bolt of energy threw his right index finger. That destroyed the cannons, and the second test began.
A new hologram appeared, it was on the beach and a huge tidal wave was approaching him. He put out his right index finger, and loaded a spirit gun with only half his power. He launched it, and completely wrecked the wave. The hologram shut off, and Yusuke turned around.
"Those blasts that he's firing seem to be on par with Scotts," Xavier commented, and Yusuke waited for his final test.
He didn't have to wait long, like if on que, one thousand highly advance attack robots appeared in the Danger Room. They all charged him, and he pulled his right fist to his waist.
"Shot gun!" Yusuke yelled, sending off a bunch of energy blasts, destroying about 70 robots at once.
The robots fired missiles at him, and he put up an energy barrier. Charging into the army of attack robots, he plowed his way through them using just his fists. He made quick work out of them, even though they were capable of taking down two or three tanks at once if they were set on killing mode. When Yusuke had reduced the numbers of robots down to 100, he leapt into the air, charging up one more Spirit Gun. The instruments in the control room started going haywire as he put more power into his attack.
"In…incredible…" Storm gasped, as she shielded her eyes from the sparks coming off the controls.
Yusuke then launched the Spirit Gun into the group of 100 attack robots, completely obliterating them. He landed, and gave the same victory sign to the adults in the control room.
"He definitely has potential," Xavier commented, 'But, I think the Danger Room will need a few upgrades to deal with his and Kurama's powers. And, when Kuwabara's spirit energy returns, it'll be a good thing I upgraded.'
"How was that?" Yusuke yelled up to the control room, "Not to shabby, eh?"
"Yeah, Yusuke," Logan replied, "You can go with the others now, you guys have school in an hour, and for you, Kuwabara, and Kurama you have even less than that."
"What?"
