Chapter 9 Clash of the Titans
" A pair of fangs? I knew it! She's probably, like, some sort of vampire! That's why she's up during the night!" Kitty exclaimed. Rogue blinks." Hate you break your fantasy, but she's up during the day too..." Kitty frowned for a second,then smiled." Of course! She ,like, wears sunblock!"
Scott slowly nods." Well, Logan said she's deadly, so we'll just have to steer clear of her during the big fight." Kurt nodded." She actually isn't too bad, I mean, did you know she grew up in Paris?" Jean raised an eyebrow." Then.. Why is she out here? This place is the polar opposite of the big city-life." Kurt frowned." I think that's the reason she was placed here Jean, she told me that she gets nervous around people, especially strangers. You have to admit, the city life wouldn't do any good for her."
Logan looked to them." Hey! You five have to be focused!" Kurt blinked and raised his hand." Why aren't the recruits in this fight?" " Because Mr. Dundee complained about being outnumbered. He's only got five students. And they're fighting on foot, without horses." At that, all the students seemed relieved.
Scott blinked." Now, Whats going to be our strategy?" Logan thought it over." Red, yer gonna take out that windwalker." Jean nodded. " Rogue, I want you to drain that big guy, Damien." Rogue gave a nod. Half-Pint, you go for the pale one, Nikolaus." Kitty raised her hand." What if he's, like, really powerful or something?" Logan sighes." If anyone gets done, they can help out Half-Pint."
------------------------------------------------------With the other team------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack smirked As he looked to his team, Aurelie, Nikolaus, Damien and Touji." Alright everyone, Akmed is on his way. We'll have to keep them all in line. Aurelie, you're our secret weapon in this, so I want you to listen especially carefully. Seperate and conquer is our strategy. Exploit their weaknesses, and if all else fails, Aurelie, you know what to do.." Aurelie frowned, but slowly nodded.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The two teams stood within the field, staring at each other. Everyone nervous, yet ready. The two teachers stepped back to watch over the battle as so to escort students to the infirmery if nessicary.
Touji closed his eyes as the wind swirled about his feet, lifting him up two feet. Damien looked to Aurelie, just giving a nod. Without warning, Aurelie ran out towards the X-men, her eyes narrowed.However, the X-men were ready.
" Now! Kurt!" Scott yelled.Kurt nodded, teleporting right before Aurelie." Frauline, it's great to see you again." Aurelie grabbed Kurt's arm." Great to see you too.." She winked, but in a mere moment her fangs had pierced Kurt's furry skin. His eyes widened and he pulled away, suddenly shivering." What.. What are you..?" Aurelie looked to him, giving a soft frown." Deadly.. more deadly than any disease known to man..." She whispers.
Scott frowned." Kurt's down! Somebody go and get him!" Kitty shook her head." She's still near him! If we go, we could , like, be next!" Damien grinned." Charge!"
Without warning, Touji, damien and Nikolaus ran ( and in Touji's case, flew) towards their opponents. Damien grinned." Attack!" Nikolaus glared, a long pure white horn sprouting from his forehead. Damien growls as his eyes turn red, his teeth growing long and sharp.
Kitty's eyes widened as Nikolaus tried to spear her, she had managed to phase just in time, but Touji hand focused a strong wind against her, tossing her out intot he ground. Jean managed to stop Touji, but a headbutt from Niko left her down and holding her side. Logan moved quickly towards kurt, trying to get Kurt off the field, but Aurelie wouldn't leave him.
Rogue's eyes narrowed." Alright, you asked for it!" She grabbed ahold of Touji's bare ankle, smirking as the wind seemed to flow about her, lifting her up." Have a bit of this!" The wind blew with intense force towards them. Damien glared, standing strong while Nikolaus was forced down, unable to withstand the force. A blast from cyclops had finished the pale Russian, as he frowned." Go on Damien.. Get him.."
Damien glared as he ran towards Scott." You're mine.. Scott shot another blast on the Romanian's shoulder. Damien glared." Aurelie! Get over here! It's all you!"
Aurelie stared at Scott, then her eyes looked to Kurt." I forfit!" Damien's eyes widen." You what!" Aurelie kneels to Kurt's side, gently stroking his cheek." I know it feels cold right now... but trust me... You'll be ok.." She whispers, gently pulling a small vial from her pocket." Dr. McCoy managed to make this earlier this morning.." She slowly poured the clear liquid into the blue mutant's mouth, relaxing as he jerked slowly, regaining muscle movement.
Damien growled, going to Aurelie." How could you throw the battle?" Aurelie glared at Damien." I've seen fighting Damien.. It's a horror beyond anything you could understand.." She glared and ran towards the ranch house.
Scott seemed in shock. Rogue blinked, amazed." Why did she throw in the towel?" Scott frowned." i think she did it.. to make sure Kurt was alright.." Kitty was in awe." Woah, so she's not, like, completely heartless."
