Chapter 8: Marauders
It was a dark laboratory…
"L-l-l-lord Apocalypse is d-d-dead," said a stuttering man, "I d-d-don't know what to do."
"Wh-whats that? Make army to attack the useless?" he asked, "Yes Lord that is what I need to do."
He saw a figure standing before him covered in shadows…
"Did you hear Rogue is out of the infirmary?" said Kitty to Paige.
"No, how about the new guy you hear about him?" she quickly responded with a question.
"No like of course not that Piotr guy? Colossus?" she said.
"Yes,"
In Xavier's office…
"Piotr you will be on Cyclops team. You will also be roommates with Gambit." Xavier stated, "Illyana will have her own room."
"Thank you Professor, sorry I couldn't come to your side sooner," he said in a lighter mood than usual.
"It is okay Piotr I know you were being blackmailed," he said.
He then walked away and then Rogue walked in.
"Hey Professor can Remy and I be on mah brother's team," she said.
"Why of course Rogue, if you want to switch to a team all you have to do is simply ask," said Professor.
He grinned to himself his picture would someday become a reality…
In the Danger Room the New Mutants were training with Psylocke. It was the last training session of the day.
The people training were Wolfsbane, Multiple, Boom Boom, Sunspot, and Berserker.
"You must all learn control," said Psylocke.
It was a simulation of Pyro because they were not ready for Sabretooth. Wolfsbane was down and Sunspot was down. Multiple was staying alive because he would keep splitting his conscious into different copies of himself. A couple firebirds then blasted boom Boom. Berserker was doing fine until a large fireball got him. Multiple was beaten because Pyro got him from both sides with flames.
"Are you all ever going to move up a sim level," she said, "Your classmates graduated to X-men because, they made it to the sim level where you fight Sabretooth and Pyro at the same time."
"Well we aren't exactly good at this kind of stuff," Berserker said.
"I can tell," Betsy dryly said.
It was soon the next morning and it was science for Kurt, Shiro, and Kitty…
"Ugh…I hate these racist teachers," Shiro muttered.
"Ja tell me about it," said Kurt he was without his image inducer everyone was a little less harsh about it.
"Well like you can't exactly blame them," said Kitty.
"Extra homework for the talkers in the back," said their science teacher.
"Aww…man," said Kurt.
"Guess I can blame them…" said Kitty.
Later after school…
"It's finished!" the Native American man yelled.
"What's finished?" Cyclops questioned.
"The bigger and better cerebro of course come check it out. It is groovy," Forge said in his old slang.
"Sure why not?" said Scott, "Let's go check it out Jean."
They went into the Cerebro room to see a room with a mounted chair and a helmet that would cover the whole face. Beast was standing in front of it admiring it.
"We did pretty well Forge," said Beast.
"Cerebra, Cerebro's bigger and better older sibling in simple English," said Forge, "Twice as much power as Cerebro and can reach the whole world and then some. Still can't get past mental blocks but it's the best mutant tracker in the entire world."
"It also has a high tech security system only the mansion's residents can enter," said Beast.
"Wow, have you shown it to Xavier?" Jean awed.
"Yes he was quite impressed," replied Forge.
'All available X-men report to my office,' said Xavier.
Soon all the X-men were in the office. Even some teacher's Wolverine, and Storm.
"Everyone this is important. The Morlocks are being attacked by an unknown team," said Xavier, "Nothing we have faced before. I want Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Shadowcat, Husk, Angel, and Jubilee to go into the sewers to defend the Morlocks. Is that clear?"
"Yes," they all said.
In the Morlock tunnels…
"Run!" Spyke yelled, "I will defend you!"
Then a person punched the ground a huge shockwave tripped Spyke. Spyke launched several fiery bone spikes. He ran back to the rest of the Morlocks. The other Morlocks had built a barricade. Where Erg, Blowhard, and Electric Eve were waiting. Their mutant powers could attack from a range so they would be able to keep them back. Spyke stood behind it too so he could throw his ranged attacks. Electricity, wind, and spikes were all being thrown at the invaders.
"Quit hiding genetic filth," said a person with harpoons slung to his back.
"Harpoon they won't listen," said a very large man.
"I suppose your right Blockbuster," he then replied.
"Guess us Marauders will have to teach em'," said the woman who punched the ground earlier. She was known as Arclight. "Vertigo will you do the honors,"
"My pleasure," Vertigo responded. Then Blowhard, Erg, Spyke, and Electric Eve were knocked out.
The rest of the team was Riptide a whirling psychopath. Scalphunter was another teammate who was a technomorph. Also prism the cockiest teammate whose crystallized body can send energy attacks back at people. Sabretooth was also with them he was there for the killing it was his favorite thing in the world.
Just then the X-men arrived before they could kill the Morlocks.
"Leave those Morlocks alone!" said Cyclops.
"But they won't even survive," said Scalphunter, "They are genetic shit beneath our feet!"
"That is not true," said Wolverine.
"Long time no see Wolverine, I see you are a wimp now," said Sabretooth.
"Sabretooth," Wolverine growled.
"Mein gott! How did Sabretooth escape from the lake?" said Nightcrawler.
"I swam. The rest of them probably got saved by magneto," he said.
"Why do you like have to attack the Morlocks?" said Shadowcat.
"Survival of the fittest," said Arclight.
"We are the fittest," cockily said Prism.
"I'll show you fit," said Colossus then he transformed into steel.
Jubilee launched many light blasts at Prism. He absorbed them all and launched them back at Jubilee. Scalphunter prepared by turning his armor into a gun. Wolverine tackled Sabretooth into a corner. Blockbuster started to duke it out with Colossus. Cyclops faced Scalphunter. Shadowcat and Angel went over to Harpoon. Husk shredded her outer skin and turned into steel she then faced Arclight. Nightcrawler faced the psychotic Riptide pulling out his sword. Storm flew to Vertigo.
Wolverine was in a heated battle with Sabretooth already. Wolverine was stabbing Sabretooth in the fight. Sabretooth was punching Wolverine and using his claws on him.
Jubilee's fight wasn't going well every time she used a light blast Prism would send it back with more power. She then saw a lead pipe and decided since things weren't going well. She smacked Prism over the head a huge crystal chunk of his head broke off and he knocked out.
Vertigo was trying to knock out Storm. But Storm resisted. "I have a stronger will than you, I have a terrible case of claustrophobia and I am doing better than you," she said. Then lightning shot from her hand and knocked Vertigo unconscious.
Harpoon was doing well against Angel and Shadowcat. He had harpooned one of Angel's wings leaving him seriously injured. He then shot a harpoon at Shadowcat right when she was phasing sticking her into the phase state with the harpoon in her. Colossus walked over dragging Blockbuster who was bloody and badly injured he then saw what Harpoon was doing. He ran over and knocked the living daylights from him.
"I will never let a fellow X-men fall to harm," he said as he pulled the harpoons out of Shadowcat and Angel.
"Thank you Colossus you have proven a very good teammate," Angel said as his wings healed.
"Not a problem," he said.
Cyclops was launching optic blasts at Scalphunter while Scalphunter shot laser blasts at him. The fight was pretty evenly matched. It was them hiding behind cover and firing blasts at each other.
Arclight was winning against Husk. As Arclight's strength greatly outnumbered Husk's. Every time Arclight punched Husk a shockwave was sent through her body. At this point Husk was trying to stay up.
Nightcrawler was dodging Riptide's throwing stars and spinning attacks every once in a while trying to incapacitate him with his sword. Then a throwing star hit Nightcrawlers leg bone. 'It's broke,' is what went through his mind. "You will not bring harm to my teammates Colossus," yelled in rage. He ran over to Riptide who kept throwing stars at him, which bounced off. He grabbed Riptide held out his knee and snapped his neck on it. He dropped Riptide to the floor who died.
"We have to go now!" yelled Arclight, "Riptide has been killed."
She picked up Vertigo and Harpoon. Blockbuster who revived picked up Riptide and Prism. Scalphunter then ran for the exit.
"That takes care of the Marauders," said Jubilee.
"No, we still don't know who they work for," said Cyclops.
At the mansion…
"Ol' Gambit not afraid to kiss you," he said.
Remy leaned forward as soon as Rogue absorbed him. She then took off extremely pissed. 'We've been tricked she thought,'
