Chapter 15
"Uhn" Sami grunted as she slammed up against the remains of Cerebro. She shook her head and looked up as her assailant advanced on her. "Toad." She gasped in horror. "Been a long time brat!" Toad hissed at her. "You've turned into quite a looker! Come give us a kiss!" He said, leering at her as his long tongue lashed out. She quickly jumped up and out of its range. "I don't want to fight you." She said, searching for a way around him. Toad laughed at her evilly. "Well now, there's a surprise! You never did want to fight. Didn't have the heat for it! His tongue lashed out at her again and she smoothly jumped over it. "But this time…this time there is no way out and no X-Men to save you!" "Toad," Sami said inching her way slowly around him. "Listen to me, please. I'm not an X-Man, not anymore. All that's in the past now, I just want to leave." "Too late for that Ice Queen. It's time for you to pay for what you did to me!" He jeered at her. She tried to run around him but his tongue flicked out and grabbed at her ankle, knocking her off her feet. "Did you have a nice trip sweetheart?" He asked her laughingly. Sami looked up at him, slowly feeling a change come over her. "Actually" She said, "It was a little cold." She grabbed his tongue and the pain from the ice forming on it from her hands, forced him to relinquish his hold on her. She was on her feet in an instant and delivered a stunning blow to Toad's chest with a drop kick. He swung at her, catching her on the chin and sending her flying backwards towards the entryway. Realizing that her strength was not yet up to the battle, she turned and fled, with Toad in hot pursuit. She ran down the hallway and stopped suddenly. Using her psychic powers she sent a fire extinguisher hurtling towards his head. It knocked him down and Sami turned and fled through another door. Too late she realized that she had entered what had once been known as "The War Room" and that it wasn't empty. "Hello Genesis!" Magneto said.
"What happened?" Tony demanded "I lost my mind link with her!" Professor Xavier said wearily as the plane gave a sudden jerk. "Storm!" He said urgently, "What's happening?" "I don't know, Professor!" She said. I'm trying to land but there's too much turbulence. It's like's vibrations are pushing us back." The plane gave another violent shake as Jean looked out the window of the cockpit. "That's what's happening!" She shouted, pointing to the ground, where a mutant known as "Avalanche" was creating the vibrations that were preventing them from landing. "We have to stop him and land this plane!" Professor Xavier said. "We're on it!" Scott said, grabbing hold of Nightcrawler, whose abilities enabled them to teleport to the ground to fight off Avalanche. Scott directed a blast from his visor at Avalanche distracting him from his task as he advanced on Cyclops for battle. "Good," Charles said, "Cyclops and Nightcrawler have distracted him. Now let's land, quickly! I sense that Genesis is in already in danger."
