Chapter 9

As team one entered the room the whole building shook with some sort of impact. As this was happening a voice came over the internal communicator.

"Mutant signature detected. Activating all Sentinel's to engage."

"Well I guess that means that Wolverine and the X-men are here." Spider-man quip.

Captain Marvel shook her head, "You are even joking now when we are in the middle of a stealth mission."

"No time like the present."

"Come on you two we still have work to do." May walked into the room where she found three piles of machinery. Two looked well and truly wreaked while the other looked like it was just a damaged version of the race. "These two are gone we don't have to worry about them just if we set some charges on the bodies and the computers attached we should be able to take out any data they may have acuminated on these three."

Spider-man walked passed her and knelt next to the wreaked final Race. "What about this one? It doesn't look like there is any life in it."

"Yeah well it could still be operational. It's not in enough pieces for me to make any type of judgements. For all I know it could be just shut down and waiting to attack anything that walks in the room."

"Don't think you have to worry about that." Spider-man reached out his hand to rest it on the still form next to him. "After all it's not setting off my spider sense." And just as he said that its eyes opened, and it quickly reached out both of its hands and wrapped them around his head.

"Dad," "Peter," The two ladies yelled as they both ran to his side. Carol reached out and was about to pull its hands-off Peter when May stopped her. "Mum don't,"

"What? Why? You said these things where dangers."

"That's true but that isn't what is setting off my spider sense." Turning her back on her mother she started to charge two photonic blasts. "No, that is." Carol wiped her head around and there standing behind them was Bastion and with him was four new prototype hybrid Sentinels who where a mix of both Sentinel and Race machinery. "Whatever happens don't let the new ones join together. Don't hold back. The quicker you can kill them the better and the less dangerous they are."

Jess looked up into the eyes of the Prim as it looked down at her. She was so far caught so far off guard she was standing as still as a statue. Both of them just held their ground waiting for the other to move. Finally, she stood up straight waiting on the other to move.

"Scan complete," The Prim stood up straight. "Spider-woman AKA Jessica Drew, threat level moderate." Pointing over to one side of the room. "Black Widow AKA Natalia "Natasha" Alianovna Romanova, threat level low." Stepping out from her cover she muttered something under her breath. Changing to the other side of the room. "Hawkeye AKA Clint Barton, threat level low."

"Hay," He yelled stepping out from cover. "I take offence to that. Why am I so low?"

"Well Clint I guess you better prove it otherwise," and with that all hell broke out around the room.

"I bet I can take out more of these buckets of bolts then you two." Hawkeye yelled jumping away from a shot from one Sentinel and in the same movement he let loose the arrow on his bow.

"Really Clint you are doing this now in the middle of a fight we might not win." Widow jumped up the body of one Sentinel. She slapped its head as she used it as a spring board onto another Sentinel where she unloaded the whole clip from one of guns into its head killing it. As they both fell to the ground she rolled as the first Sentinel blow up from the explosives she left behind.

"Leave him allow Widow." Jess said as she took to the air. She dodged shots from the Sentinel Prim as she made her way around the room using it to do as much damage as she could.

Hawkeye fired off two more arrows. Both hit their marks in the middle of a group of Sentinel's, snapping their heads back they both expanded out followed by shooting off shots in every direction killing the whole group before exploding taking the heads off the first two. "Thank you Jess I'm glad to have at least one of you on my side."

She landed behind him so the two would be back to back. "You didn't let me finish. I was going to say that after all you are only a guy and are no way near as dangerous as we are."

"Hay."

As soon as the X-men where through the portal that was opened by Blink, Storm straight away called down lightning that blow the side of a cliff face off exposing then base that was hidden under it. It didn't take the Sentinel's long to respond to the attack on the base. Before the dust and rock had even settled turrets where rising up out of the ground to lock onto them and the main door slide to one side as Sentinel's came out of the structure. They were all the basic modal thankfully very large oversized robots that all the present X-men only came up to their ankles. They just walked out and formed up into a straight line raised their blaster arms up and started their attack on the waiting mutants. Storm took to the air with Marvel Girl by her side they both flew through the laser fire while Storm called down more lightning and Marvel Girl put up shields to protect her friends.

"Blink get me in there." Logan yelled running at the line. She formed a portal in fount of him as he dove through another opened in the middle of the line and he fell out landing on the top of one of them and processed to slash into its neck. She also ran to find cover behind a bolder as she formed spears in her hands. Taking a breath, she broke from her cover just long enough to through both spears out and destroyed two turrets before she rolled back in under cover.

Magma let out a stream of fire that counted all the shots caught in its wake as it continued on until it hit the line of sentinel's before exploding. Not letting up she stated to melt rocks all around her and then lobed them at the turrets. Iceman slide over her head on one his slides that he was forming with one hand. With the other he set volley after of volley of ice shards into the ranks of sentinel's striping the ranks down as he went. She smiled up at him as he passed over her.

"Maybe we might not need the second wave after all." Iceman yelled out to the others as he ripped into another Sentinel. Looking around he counted off only a small bit of resisted. Forming a ball of ice in his hand he threw the ball out at the last turret hitting it dead on and blowing it to pieces. "and that as they say is that. I always thought that the Avengers are over rated." The X-men all came together in the middle of the field where Iceman was doing his little victory dance. Magma chuckled as she walked up to him. He stopped his little dance to look her straight in the eye, "now we are the x-men. We are the bomb. That was so easy."

Wolverine walked straight up behind him and hit him over the back of the head as hard as he could. It chipped off a bit of the back of him, so he had to pull some moisture out of the air to repair himself. "Hay what was that for."

Just then the ground under them began to shake before they could start hearing stomping of feet coming from the building. Slowly out of it came three rows of some sort of Sentinel they had never seen before. The rows split off and formed up lines in front of them the only problem was that every second one didn't stop moving. As the first stopped the second continued on until the two would slowly merge together in a mess of cables. This made them so much larger then they were before. Now they had large claws on one hand and some sort of blaster on the other. They still had the Sentinel's purple colour skeem, but now black cables come out of their bodies just to re-enter somewhere else.

"That is what that was for."
