Marvel High

This is a remix of the first part of my last chapter in this story. I received several complaints, all correct, about the end. Agent-G took the crap fest I gave you, and wrote this out of it. All credit for this chapter is Agent-G's

Chapter VII

Tandy now as Dagger in her all white costume with a knife like image cut out of the front had some training in martial arts, but not a enough to stand against Shang Chi. They fought down the hall, Shang Chi dodging the light-daggers she threw easily as he saw her telegraph her moves and flipped over it and sent a kick into her chest forcing her to hit a locker with her back. She grunted with the pain and looked up and her eyes widened in fear seeing his foot coming at her face.

She quickly rolled out of the way as his kick dented the metal. Shang Chi looked at the blond girl and felt pity for her, he knew that he outmatched her and he couldn't find any honor in such a fight. But he had no other choice in the matter. He watched her try to stand but a swift kick to her ribs forced the young girl to have the wind knocked out of her.

He picked her up by the throat and slammed her against a door and raised a fist, "If it helps, I truly regret having to do this. I am bound by honor." Shang Chi offered the young girl.

That was when Rogue entered the hall. She saw the final strike Shang Chi landed on Dagger's face knocking out the girl as he let go and her boby slumped to the floor. Rogue was be able to tell Tandy's face anywhere, even with the mask. She rushed to her girlfriend's side her heart filled with both anger and fear.

"Ah am goin' to take you down," Rogue said standing back up. She removed her shirt and her under-shirt leaving her in just her bra.

"While you are very pretty," Shang Chi said, "I will not be so easily distracted by your flesh."

Rogue smiled wickedly. That wasn't her plan. Shang Chi launched his attack on her a high kick that she blocked, unlike Dagger Rogue had more training thanks to Logan and his hand to hand combat lessons that he gave to everyone. But his legs were covered and that wouldn't do her any good, he was fast and stronger then her so she needed to have his bare hands to strike her skin. She left openings for his punches and even though the blows hurt like hell and she knew there would be some bruising she took the shots. After a few good hits he stopped.

He realized he was more tired than he should be. You see what Rogue's plan included was that Shang Chi was bare-foot and shirtless. Every time he hit her, his skin touched hers. Because it was such brief contact, he wasn't knocked out, but Rogue was receiving his memories, and she had learned to target what she wanted. Rogue had been drawing out his knowledge of fighting. Soon she came back with her own volley of punches and kicks.

By now he was tired and it was hard to focus on her while Rogue finally decided to end this and grabbed his fist that he threw at her and held it draining the last of his strength.

She looked down at him as he laid there out cold as all his memories were now in her head, "Well whatdaya know? He really did regret this." She walked over to take care of Tandy and caressed her cheek, "Come on girl wake up…Please."

Tandy blinked a few times hearing a familiar voice call to her in the darkness and the world slowly came back to her to see a nearly topless and slightly sweating Rogue over her with a worried look on her face, "Rogue?"

"Yeah Tandy it's meh, so…you are in the costume thing too I see."

Dagger looked down and remembered she was still in costume, "I uh…guess I have some explaining to do?"

Rogue helped her up slightly wincing from a few body blows, "Later first let's get to the others."

Elsewhere, Elektra the red clad Greek assassin continued to drive the Black Widow backwards with her weapons narrowly missing Natasha and only managed a few cuts but nothing lethal. "You cannot win against the best," Elektra said, and with a backhanded attacked that landed across Black Window's face forced the Russian to spin around into a wall. Electra preparing to land the final blow with one of her blades going for a stabbing fatal blow to the heart.

Suddenly she was blocked. She looked to see the Dare Devil mask glaring straight in her face. "YOU!" she roared, attacking him with all her might.

"Its time for you to dance with the devil Elektra!" Matt called from behind his mask, his senses told him Natasha was fine just dazed. She wasted no words as she attacked him with a fury of moves and it was only Matt's speed and reflexes that were able to make him avoid the blows. He used his billyclub to deflect her weapons. He jumped onto a wall and kicked off it avoiding a blow by her weapons that bit out of the wall.

"You can't avoid me forever you know," She hissed out at him trying to study his moves but he always seemed to be one step ahead of her and it was annoying to say the least.

Matt just smirked at her, "Who said I had to?"

She paused a moment wondering what he meant went it hit her, she spun around just in time to take to shots to the chest from Black Widow and her wrist weapons. She staggered back a few steps as the toxin in her system started to take effect, she felt eh world spin around her. She tried to throw one of her weapons but she only raised it a bit before her hand relaxed and dropped it. It hit the floor with a metallic clang and the assassin fell to her knees then fell to the ground as the world went dark.

Matt walked over to Natasha, "You alright?"

She nodded her head and placed a hand to her cheek, "Yeah…kind of hurts a bit but it is better then the alternative."

"Shall we see to the others?" Daredevil asked her and she nodded her head, she figured Electra would be out for sometime.

In the school gym Bullseye was giving Peter a hell of a time. Everything the maniac could get his hands on and not to mention his own personal arsenal as well was flying at Spider-Man. The aim of the man was beyond what Peter's spider-sense could allow him to dodge at times. Spider-Man was cut, bruised, and nearly exhausted. He looked at the assassin's laughing face.

"You're head's gonna look real nice in my den," cackled Bull's Eye.

That was when he was tackled. He looked up to see a girl in a black cat suit. "I'm the only one allowed to leave scratch marks on him," the Black Cat said angrily at him, she didn't know why she showed up. Well maybe she did, she cared for Peter and if he had gotten himself killed doing his hero thing then she knew she would be kicking herself for not helping him.

Unfortunately she didn't have Peter's spider-sense, and had her legs kicked out from under her and as she fell he leaped up onto his feet grabbing a dagger he had and looked down at her, "Time to see how many ways I can skin this cat."

He was about to make a blow with the knife but felt something snag his hand and saw it was webbing. Peter wasted no time in pulling with all his strength towards him and kicked him hard in the chest. Bullseye fell to the ground hard a few yards away and tried to get up even though his chest felt like it had been hit by a bus.

"Hey, up there," He looked up to see Black Cat standing over him and kicked him in the face hard, "And that's why you should never cross a black cat," She said to him as he fell to the ground knocked out. She quickly ran over to Peter.

"You came," he observed.

"You… you do things to a girl," she said with a smile.

"Not yet," he quipped, "But I think maybe tonight if you get a room."

She laughed, knowing his was only kidding. "Consider a suite at the Ritz booked."

Slymm had taken out half the X-Men and Cloak. His physical training combined with strong power made him a force to be reckoned with. Emma was with Scott as they moved through the halls looking for stragglers and she sent mental probes to everyone in the school to get out that wasn't fighting. By now the school was empty but they would need to hurry before the police came and then things would get harder there. She wondered why they were forced to attack the school so openly but guessed the Hellfire Club had their reasons and their own ideas on how to use this for their own purposes.

Scott was running down the halls and he turned a corner just in time to see Dare Devil and Black Widow knock out Elektra and turned to see them, Matt threw Natasha out of the way as Scott fired his optic blast at them and Matt took the blast sending him flying back into the hall. Black Window saw this and raised her hand in order to fire one of her dart but Emma saw this and forced the red head to sleep.

"Emma dearest," a cold voice called.

Emma turned to see her mother standing there holding a gun. Emma knew it was coming but she didn't think her mother would use this battle as a cover, she had been careless and now she was going to pay for it. She couldn't sense her so that also meant her mother was wearing a telepathic inhibitor behind her ear most likely. Emma was powerless and she knew that she was dead.

"Feel good knowing this dear," her mother said to her, there was a part of her that was sad that she had to kill her own daughter but she knew it was the way of the Hellfire Club and if she allowed Emma to live sooner of later Emma would be the one to kill her and she wasn't ready to die yet. "I'm only doing this because of how much of a threat you are." With that she pulled the trigger.

It happened so quickly Emma felt she was caught in some sort of time warp. Scott rushed in front of her taking the bullet in his shoulder, in what would have been Emma's heart. He fell to the floor and blasted Emma's mother catching her in the throat. Emma looked at her mother's face… then she looked four feet away at her mother's body. The sight of it sent her into shock as all the memories she had of her mother played over in her mind and she wondered how it had all came to this but a moaning at her feet caught her attention and looked down at Scott's bleeding wound.

She dropped to her knees beside Scott. "Why?" she asked. "Why did you do that?"

"I love you," he said simply. "Why wouldn't I?"

Emma felt filthy. He would do this for the woman he loved… this was something Emma should never have touched. Tears ran down her cheeks. Why… why did she have to feel like this, she never felt ashamed before…Maybe because she refused to before but seeing him there a man who risked her life for him but only because she had in a way made him. Her whole life she had done things that she wasn't proud of but she couldn't do anything about them…Except for one.

She brushed Scott's face and concentrated. Scott looked at her confused and then it was like she removed something. Suddenly Scott's whole memory snapped back in place. He looked at her with rage. He forced himself to his feet staring at her with anger and holding his shoulder but he pain would come later now he was too furious to feel that wound. "Go to her," Emma said quietly turning her face from hi,. "Go to Jean Grey and tell her you love her." She looked up, mascara run down her face. "This will all be over soon, get your people clear. You have five minutes" She showed him what she held in her hand. The detonator switch for the explosive charges the forces had placed around the school. Scott ran, sending a message to Jean to have the place evacuated.

Even through the fight with Slymm was still going on when Jean sent the message everyone had to pull back and gather up their fallen, "Oh come one back and fight!" The powerful fighter roared at them in what was left of the area seeing as there were walls destroyed the ceiling was in ruins with cables and broken lights. An optic blast from Scott hit him in the back sending him through a wall as Jean was helping him walk.

When she had seen him wounded her heart had stopped but when he had smiled at her that smile that he used to give her she knew that whatever was going on with him he was back to his old self, she would ask him later but now they needed to get out.

After five minutes explosions rocked Bayville High.

It hadn't take long to get the wounded out. Natalia and Felicia made sure that Shang Chi got taken back to the Manor with them and they all disappeared before the local police and fire fighters and most importantly the news papers had shown up. Everyone at the school was confused and Xavier was in Cerebro. He had been following the battle when as best he could and knew he had to protect his students and the others.

He used Cerebro to blanket the area and alter the memories of everyone there, he hated doing this and it was a strain but it had to be done. This was not the way for mutants to come out into the world. He made them all think it had been a leaky gas pipe that had exploded. But he also found something else in the rumble. Something was still there and he would have to act fast and he hoped Fury was taking calls.
