Chapter 17
Sami back flipped out of the way of as Blob lunged for her. It was just the opening Eric needed. He took aim and shot a large ball of fire directly at the giant's face, stunning him so that in his haste to get to Sami, he tripped and fell. Toad whipped his tongue around Eric's hands and slammed him against the wall again.
Wolverine meanwhile was tangling with Mystique. Mystique had managed to knock him off his feet, when Sami ran towards them and speared the shape shifter to the ground. She was quickly bucked off however, as Mystique swiftly recovered and kicked Sami in the stomach. She was on her knees clutching her stomach when Mystique picked up one of the large pieces of rock from the wall and prepared to smash down onto Sami's head.
"I don't think so." Came a voice from the balcony above and the large chunk flew out of Mystique's hands to land harmlessly in a corner of the room. "Sami!" another voice cried and Sami looked up to find her mother and the others from the plane, standing around Professor Xavier's chair, a look of horror upon her face. "Enough!" Magneto's voice boomed as he grabbed Sami around the neck and held her hostage there. She tried to struggle but he was just too strong for her. "Time to end this Charles." "Let her go Erik!" The professor said. "We'll let you and the others leave unharmed. But I cannot allow you to leave here with Genesis!"
"Well fortunately for us, it's not your choice, Charles. And I wouldn't do that if I were you Flare! He said to Eric, who was taking aim at him. "Your twin is important to me, but that doesn't mean that she isn't expendable. So I'd lower those hot hands of yours if I were you." Eric looked up at the professor, who nodded, before lowering his hands back to his sides. "Erik, don't do this. She won't give you what you need and she'll never willingly join you!" Xavier said, "Then she'll join me un-willingly. A pleasure as always Charles." Magneto said with a smile. "Thanks so much for, ha ha, dropping in." Magneto and his minions began to back out of the room as he said this, Sami still firmly in his grip. All of a sudden the metal platform above, on which the professor and the others stood began to shake violently and crash towards the ground.
