Evaluation: Part II

"So, who wants to go first?" Kale asked evilly, in a low threatening growl.

In the centre of the room, all the X-Men and New Mutants were being addressed by Scott until he had rudely interrupted by Kale. When they looked over at him, he was leaning against the wall with a samurai's sword in his hand.

"Excuse me, what do you mean Kale?" Sam asked a little confused, followed by a mummer of 'yeah' went around.

"Weeelllll, Logan said I would be facing off against you guys…and gals…to determine my skills." Kale explained walking up to them, so he was besides Scott. "Unless you're scared to…"

"Hey, I ain't scared of you, Ire!" A boy with buzzed yellow hair said jumping up, his hands crackling with electricity.

"Me nether" Another shouted, this time from a Brazilian kid.

"Okay, that's enough!" Scott yelled holding his hands up. "New Mutants will take him first then the X-men, alright?"

Quickly, Kale watched as Kurt, Kitty, Jean and Scott left the group leaving him with the rest of the kids to stand in front of him; he was little bit more impressed with their outfits because they were more suitable for combat. Kale recognized Sam, Jubilee, Amara and the girl he bumped into, Rahne. But other than them, he didn't know anyone else and Rahne must have seen the way he was looking at he others.

"This is Ray, Roberto, Bobby and Jamie." She said, pointing to each of the kids.

"Thanks Rahne" The compliment made her blush some reason and Kale felt his own cheeks burn a little. "Okay, for those of you that don't know, my name is Kale Nority."

"Hey, are you Scottish?" Jamie asked him, making Kale sigh exasperatedly.

"Nah, Jamie lad, Kale's Irish and I'm Scottish. Ye can tell the difference by the words we use." Rahne said explaining to them.

"Yeah, we curse more at times." Kale said offhandedly.

This got everyone to laugh and Kale walked over to the wall and leaned his sword against the wall. As he walked back, Kale noticed the differences in height and ages; he knew Jamie was the youngest because of the scent patterns he was giving off. The others were all in and around his age either being sixteen or fifteen.

"Hey man, how old are you? Cause you have to be at least twenty or something." Ray asked, his brow burrowing.

"Nah man, I'm only seventeen. Are any of you seventeen?" He asked hopefully.

He wasn't surprised when Ray and Roberto raised their hands but he was when Rahne and Jubilee did. Shrugging his shoulders, Kale began to walk around them stretching his arms.

"So, how long have you guys been training with Logan?" Kale asked, rotating his neck around his shoulders.

"About a year and a half now." Ray said proudly, he and Roberto crossing their arms over their chests and puffing their chests out.

Kale stopped and looked at them for about a second at most, then made a move. With a single step he was right next to the two guys and slammed the back of his right fist into Roberto's face and his left elbow into Ray's. Both boys fell down on the ground and scrambled to get back up while Kale just repositioned his body and held out his right hand palm up, with a small smirk on his face.

"Then show me how good you are." Kale said, leaning back on his left leg and extending his right leg out in front of him.

Roberto leapt to his feet, fury in his eyes with a touch of murder and transformed; Kale smirked when he saw the boy go charcoal black with fire roaring around him. Running towards Kale, he threw a punch with all his might which collided with Kale's open palm.

Everybody's jaw dropped when Kale didn't bend to Roberto, but instead enclosed his fingers around the other boy's fist and twisted it around. This forced his arm to rotate away from his body, exposing him completely. Kale delivered three wicked punches to his ribs, making him scream with every blow.

Ray blasted a large bolt of electrical energy, running the blast up the floor towards Kale and Roberto. Ducking under his outstretched arm, Kale twisted Roberto's arm behind his back and lifting his whole body off the ground, Kale threw him at Ray. The impact and surprise that he would do such a move sent the pair of them down to the ground and in a tangle with each other. Bobby froze the ground where Kale was standing all the way up to his shoulders, incasing him in ice.

"What the fucking hell…" Kale said as he tried to jerk his arms free, while Bobby received high five's Ray and Roberto.

"That's why they call me the Iceman." Bobby said smugly.

Bobby was about to do a little victory dance when they saw Kale's body flash a red color. Suddenly he began to flash faster and faster so he was almost glowing, his eyes and mouth the brightest point of his flashes.

Slowly spider web cracks formed on the ice and then the ice exploded, shattering Kale's entombment and showered the New Mutants with small fragments of ice. When they looked back at Kale, they saw Kale was just brushing small flecks of ice off of his shirt and looking unimpressed.

"Yeah, right, whatever frosty." Kale said, whipping his hands. "My turn"

Inhaling deeply, Kale felt his eyes begin to burn and his veins in his neck bulge; he could see the smoke. Whipping his head up and back down, Kale shot a ball of flame out at Bobby; the fireball smack his on the chest and sent him flying towards a wall, which he promptly slumped down against unconscious.

"Now, that must have hurt…"

Furiously, Jubilee sent a hail storm of sparkling fireworks at Kale, which he skirted back wards to avoid. He then noticed Amara shaking slightly and felt his eyes bulge when she lit on fire, her whole body like a figure of lava. Raising her arms, she sent a river of fire at him and Kale knew he couldn't dodge it in time.

Kale flipped backwards and using the momentum, sprung forwards into the fire. Jamie and Rahne screamed and Roberto and Ray yelled as they watched him plunge in the superheated lava; was he so strong that he could withstand the fire?

Suddenly, the fire exploded and Kale was their, but he wasn't the same. He had transformed in his dragon like state and his shirt had been burn off. He had shielded his pants but he had forgotten his shirts. For those that hadn't seen him transformed, it hit them like a ton of bricks; the scaled skin, the lizard like head, the long tail and the wild hair.

"Whoa, is it hot in here or is it just me?" Kale said sarcastically, waving his hand in front of his face while he casually walk to Amara

Rahne was the only who wasn't scared of his power; in fact she felt overjoyed for a strange reason. Kale was a demonic looking, draconic metamorphic mutant and it was startling attractive, even arousing, to her; it was a primal and savage feeling she had and it was unnerving her.

Twirling around, Kale backhanded Amara which sent her sprawling to the ground in her normal state. He had knocked her out as though he wasn't even trying. Kale then did a handless cartwheel landing in front of Jamie.

The kid was so shocked that he didn't even seen the green scaled hand shot out and smack him on his temple, knocking him out before his power kicked in. Kale caught him as he was falling and gently put him down.

Rolling over Jamie, Kale came up to Ray and gave an uppercut to him in the stomach; winding him, Kale pummeled him repeated in the face and chest. Roberto tried to come to the rescue but was stopped short when Kale's shoe smashed across his mouth and sent him down.

Dropping Ray from his grip, Kale raised his knee and was about to let gravity introduce his knee to Ray's chin, when he was socked across the jaw by a red furry hand. The blow was unexpected and powerful so Kale was knocked down, but he rolled quickly up in a crouched position. Kale looked up to see who attacked him and felt his eyes bulge again.

Standing were he was a werewolf; her body covered from head to toe in red fur, Kale knew it was Rahne because of her flashing emerald eyes. Her uniform wasn't torn, rather it had shifted with her and became a bathing suit. Her face had morphed to somewhere in between a wolfs and a humans; her feet and hands had similar claws to what Kale had.

Feeling a slight sting of pain, Kale reached up to his face and when he pulled his hand away from his cheek he saw blood on the tips of his fingers. Looking back up at Rahne, he gave her a true crocodile's grin.

"Nice shot, love. Got a fair bit of muscles there, Rahne; not to mention a damn sexy form, if I do say so myself." Kale complimented, pointing to her arm with his own clawed fist.

Rahne felt her cheeks burn slightly from his remark about her form; not many people thought that about her and when they did they often meant it derogatorily. Kale however wasn't, he was just admiring her and it was nice to hear from someone.

"Thanks, I get ehanced muscles whene I transform." She said with a growl in her throat, taking a predatory stance. "Ready ta go, animal to animal?"

"Never thought ya ask, love." Kale responded, taking a similar stance.

With primal roars, the two threw themselves at each other; they bolted at each other, running on all fours and slammed into each other. Rahne brought her hand down and slashed his shoulder open, while Kale swung across her midriff and sliced across her stomach with his own claws.

Jubilee started to fire he firework, but Kale's tail whipped around and smacked her across the face, knocking her out cold one time. Rahne smashed her furry into his chest, cause him to grunt; grabbing her by the shoulders, Kale smacked his scaled forehead against hers making her wobble away

Both roared and began to punch and kick each other, their speed and reactions matched perfectly even if their strength wasn't. Kale swung at Rahne's head, but she ducked and thrusted her foot into his stomach.

As he started to fall over, Rahne tried to punch his down across his face but Kale raised his forearm, catching her and then swiped her feet from under her. When she hit the floor, Kale landed on top of her with his fist raised over her face and slammed his other arm on the ground next to her head.

Grabbing his shoulders, Rahne pulled herself up and kicked him over onto his back; since she was holding on, she ended up straddling him with her hands around his neck and his hands latched onto her forearms. He tail slid up her back and wrapped around her throat and pulled back so he could breathe; Kale flickered his eyes downward and back to her face, his scale going a darker shade.

"I won." He said, his voice strangled and oxygen deprived.

"What are ye talkin' about, Kale; I got ye pinned" Rahne said, her voice a little tight.

"Yeah, but I would have most likely snapped your neck by now" Kale said, his voice full of seriousness.

Gently but firmly he pulled her hands off of his neck and unwrapped his tail. Rahne placed her hands on his chest and took a few deep breaths.

"Ye were holdin' back." Rahne said in between gasps as she transformed back to her full human form.

Her fur slowly pulled itself back into her skin and her head shifted back into its regular human form. Her uniform slowly came back as she changed into her human state, tears and hole visible from her brawl with the Irish draconic teen. He claws pulled back in as well, returning her yellowed hands back to the way they were.

"Yeah, sorry about that but coming from where I have been raised, it's either kill or be killed." Kale said, flexing his arms slightly before he looked down at Rahne. "Umm…do you feel comfortable?"

"Why"

"Cause I would hate to explain the position we're in right now to anyone." Kale said his scales going even darker.

Rahne was a little puzzled by his comment, until she looked at exactly how she was sitting on Kale and promptly stood up. Grinning slightly Kale rolled over and pushed himself up.

"Aww…I was getting used to the warmth." He said chuckling at Rahne's increasing blush. "Alright, no more teasing, I promise."

"Thank ye" Rahne said, watching as he transformed back to human.

Kale snarled slightly as his scale pulled a little more roughly back into his skin, sliding under his skin almost. His head shifted back into his normal haggard face, his hair rapidly pulling into his skull. His tail shot up into his spine, the hole his pants disappearing with the tail.

When he was near finished, Kale's skin finally turned back to it's normal slightly tanned color. As he leaned over to straighten out his back, Rahne had to stifle a scream when she saw his dark red scars.

Kale stood up quickly, his face full of shame and fear; Rahne then saw his chest was also covered in scars as well. Rahne heard a deep rumbling in his chest and looked up to see his face one of absolute fury.

"I'm sorry." He said his voice gruff and extremely harsh, his red eyes glowing again

When he heard the door open, Kale looked over his shoulder to see Logan and the other kids standing there. He knew that they would see his scars if he didn't do something soon and he really wanted to get this over with now.

"Hey Logan, you need to evaluate me, right?" Kale asked his eyes blazing.

Logan gave him a look questioning look and looked around the room. The New Mutants were all around the room, unconscious and defeated. Kale had done in at least fifteen minutes.

"Yeah, that's right, bub." He answered gruffly.

Kale took a deep breath and looked at the ground, running through the options he had available. Flexing his muscles, he transformed again and looked at Logan with a piercing stare. It was a look Logan had seen a lot; the stare of a man ready to prove himself regardless of what might happen to him, willing to endure any form of pain and punishment. So what Kale said next, didn't surprise him in any way.

"Then fight me"

Uh oh, looks like someone might have bitten off more than he can chew. But thats in the next chapter. Now please REVIEW
