Never Tick Off A Telepath

Upstairs Tim, Ray and Jamie were playing with video games while the events proceeded downstairs. Penny was there too, casually chewing on an old game cartridge. "She's getting drool all over it," Ray groaned.

"You tell her to stop," Jamie said. "That game stinks anyway."

BOOM!

"Whoa!" Ray blinked. "Either the sound system has improved a lot or something happened downstairs!"

"What the hell was that?" Tim shouted.

"Whatever it was, it sure was loud," Jamie said.

"Something's goin' around here," Tim frowned. Penny started to growl. "Something bothering you girl? Me too." He held his arms out and blasted at the door.

"AAGGGHHH!" Hairbag screamed as he was shoved violently into the wall across the hallway by Tim's energy blast and the door.

"How did you know that an enemy was behind the door?" Ray asked Tim.

"I didn't," Tim shrugged. "I just felt like blowing something up."

"Well, looks like we got a few more X-Kiddies to play with," Blockbuster grinned as he and Arclight emerged.

Arclight was holding a bag of some kind. "Let's have a little fun shall we?" With her free hand she created some kind of light weapon and threw it at the mutants, scattering them.

"This is not gonna be easy," Ray said.

"This will be…" Blockbuster began before Penny tackled him. "OW! OW! THAT HURTS!"

"Not as much as this!" Ray shouted as he sent off a full electric blast at the other Marauders.

Although Arclight managed to make some kind of shield for herself that bounced off the attack, Hairbag was not as fortunate. "YEOWWWW!"

Then Tim tried to zap Arclight but only got Hairbag again. "OWWWWWW!"

"You can't hurt me," Arclight grinned as she let the shield down and prepared to attack. Only to be tackled by a dozen Jamies. "HEY! GET OFF ME! WATCH THOSE HANDS KID!"

"Okay, maybe this will be easy," Ray shrugged as he zapped Hairbag again. "Man this place is gonna smell like fried dog for weeks!"

"OW! OW! OW!" Blockbuster screamed as Penny mauled him. "GET HER OFF OF ME! GET HER OFF! THAT HURTS!"

Meanwhile downstairs…

"Now to take some of your DNA…" Sinister grinned as he advanced on Kurt.

"Sorry, but I kind of like my DNA right where it is," Kurt grinned. He managed to teleport right out of the tar holding him and behind Sinister, where he gave him a huge kick.

Bobby froze the tar around him and it broke. "Oh yeah! Now we're talking!"

"GET THEM!" Sinister shouted.

Tar tried to trap them again by shooting tar at them. "Over here!"Kurt teleported right in front of Loudmouth.

"Stupid little…" Loudmouth began to scream. Suddenly Kurt teleported instantly. At the same time Tar had sent a shot of tar at Kurt. It hit Loudmouth instead right in the mouth. "UGGGHHHH!"

"Idiots," Riptide hissed. "Let's do this the easy way shall we," He went towards Jean. "You X-Kiddies better surrender unless you want to see your friends here sliced and diced."

"I don't need my hands to keep you away from me!" Jean shouted as she telekinetically lifted Riptide off his feet.

"Hey! No fair! Leggo!" Riptide was hovering in the air.

"Okay," Jean tossed him right into Sinister.

"GET OFF ME YOU FOOL!" Sinister shouted.

"No more Mister Nice guy," Tar hissed. He used his powers to constrict the tar he created around the X-Men. "If you ever wanna breathe again you'll all behave yourselves. My power can control the tar I create so there's no way you can escape!"

"I don't think so. You forgot my power," Everett grinned. "I can pick up any powers any mutant has near me." Suddenly the tar began to fall off the captive mutants. "Any mutant! Including yours Tar!"

"All right!" Tabitha shouted as she was freed. She made a huge energy bomb and sent it straight at Tar. "Bombs away!"

"Oh crud…" Tar winced as the bomb headed straight for him and could not get out of the way fast enough.

BOOOM!

"TAR! PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER!" Sinister snarled as pieces of Tar flung all over the place. "STOP THEM YOU FOOLS!"

"I don't think so! You're not getting any samples from us!" Jean shouted.

"I already have plenty of your DNA Jean," Sinister grinned. "Remember some of our lessons? The blood samples you gave me to analyze? I did a bit more than that. They've given me some…interesting results in my experiments."

"YOU SICK BASTARD!" Scott shouted as he shot out a force beam at him.

Sinister simply stood there as if it didn't matter. However, when the beam hit him, it did. "YEAAARHHHHRRRRRRHHH!" Sinister screamed as his torso was severed from his legs.

"Oh my god!" Amara screamed at the sight.

"Boss?" Riptide blinked before Jean used her powers to throw him against the wall.

Sinister's body slowly pulled itself together, however it was slower than before. "It's like a scene out of the Terminator…" Kurt gasped.

"That…HURT!" Sinister growled as he put himself together. "That actually hurt me!"

"GOOD!" Scott shot off another blast at him. This time Sinister managed to dodge it.

"You can't…." Sinister growled before a book hit him on the head. "Stop me?" He looked upwards and saw Jean float in the air. She was also using her telekinesis to make several other objects float around. "This does not look good."

Rina had her claws pointed at Riptide's throat. "Stay down," She hissed.

The other mutants had managed to corner the other Marauders. "Should we…?" Rahne began.

"Something tells me Jean's got this one covered," Rogue pointed.

"I looked up to you…" Tears of rage leaked from Jean's eyes. "I trusted you!"

Immediately every piece of furniture, every book, pencil or other object not secured began to levitate and spin around the room. "You used me…" Jean growled.

"YEAAHAAHHHGGGH!" Sinister grabbed his head. "What are you doing? You're not supposed to be able to break my shields!"

"She's got a little help here," Betsy made a psychic knife and focused. "In case you haven't noticed there are three telepaths in this room."

"Actually four now," Everett joined in the psychic attack.

"Five," Danielle used her powers to make Sinister scream in terror.

Jean also used her powers to slam the objects into Sinister's body. "Stop this!" Sinister shouted.

"No it's you who will stop," Xavier told him. "You are not welcome here Sinister!"

"OW! OW! OW!" A very singed Hairbag and extremely beat up Blockbuster went tumbling down the stairs.

"Hey don't go!" Tim shouted as the other mutants ran down. "The party's just getting started."

"Boss I think we'd better get outta here!" Riptide shouted.

"Yeah I got a whole bunch a hairbrushes!" Arclight shouted as she ran down with a bag. "We got what we came for!"

"Then let's blow this pop stand!" Riptide was able to use his powers to suddenly shove Rina away. He pressed a button and a green portal opened. "Run for it!"

By now Tar had pulled his body together. Bobby froze him. "Why don't you chill out?" He snickered.

The other Marauders decided to run. They fought through the mutants and jumped into the portal. Blockbuster grabbed Tar and shouted. "Boss! We gotta go!" He leapt into the portal and it closed up.

"You're not going anywhere!" Jean telekinetically lifted up Sinister and threw him on top of the wall. "Scott…"

"I got it," Scott sent out a blast of his optic beam at him.

Suddenly Sinister managed to press a button creating a portal of his own. "Another time!" He shouted as he teleported away just before Scott's blast hit him. The blast hit the roof and caused some of it to catch fire.

"Good shot," Tim said sarcastically.

"This is why we don't have people over more often," Bobby grumbled. "What a mess."

"And look who's finally showing up," Danielle pointed to the Velocity as it landed.

"What happened?" Logan shouted as the other X-Men rushed in.

"Besides Jean's teacher being an evil mutant nutcase, our home getting trashed and nearly being part of some weird science experiment?" Ray asked. "Nothing much."
