Chapter 11

Captain Marvel and Spider-man ran as fast as they could down the hall that connected the holding cells and the main computer rooms. Spider-man was still carrying the alien in his arms as they were trying to get through the base as quickly as they could. Every time his spider sense went off he would signal to her from which way they were coming from and she would step in, intercept them and removing them before they got anywhere near Spider-man and the alien. Yet even as they made their way as quickly and quietly as they could they could still hear the fight between May and Baston going on somewhere near them. Every once and a while one of his energy shots would cut through the paths they were running down. Stopping them in their tracks. Making their way to the main computer room they found it to be a good size room open and easy for the larger Sentinel's to move around. One of the walls was made of open glass looking out over a storage room where they were keeping inactivated sentinel's both the old and new models. Around the other two sides were computer monitors and memory units. This was what Spider-man made a bee line for. Meanwhile Captain Marvel walked over to the glass and looked out to see all the none active units.

"Dam, there is a lot of these bustards." She rested on the edge of the glass. That was when May was thrown throw the one of the side walls but at the opposite end from where Carol was standing. She slid along the floor slowly losing momentum before finally hitting the wall on the other side and coming to a complete stop. "Spider you might want your new best friend to hurry up over there because we could end up getting a lot of company soon."

Peter had put the race on the thermal on the furthers wall from the glass and watched as it extended parts of its body out and seep into the computer and monitor. The monitor activated, and he watched as rows apon rows of text in some strange language cycled through the screen.

"Hay buddy I hate to hurry you up, but we are currently in a very hairy spot that could blow up in our face at any time."

That was when a new display box opened up on the monitor he was watching. Slowly text was written across the screen.

Affirmative. Righting new program now. Contact will be established in approximately 5 minutes.

"Is that the fastest you can do this? Because I would hate to have to deal with a pack of very angry robots."

Sentinels are androids not robots. Affirmative.

"Captain Marvel." Spider-man moved away from the terminal and over to his fellow hero. "He says he needs at least 5 minutes."

He looked out the window over to where she was gazing. He saw May rise up off the ground energy pouring off of her in waves as she slowly floated up into the air. Two hands ripped through the hole May had made when she was thrown through the wall followed by the wall being ripped away and a very large Sentinel entered the room. It was so large that it stood well and truly over the inactive sentinel's. It had four arms and cannons sitting on each shoulder. Slowly a door opened in the middle of the shoulders and the small head of Bastion came up to sit on top of it.

"That was very inconvenient." He said as he rotated the now placed head. "Ripping my head off would be a good plan for my old form but with these new upgrades it is no longer as vital as it used to be."

"Well excuse me." May slowly floated over until she was in line with his face. "I haven't had to fight you in a good five maybe six years. I'm a little rusty but I tell you what if ripping your first head off didn't work then how about next time I shove it straight up your…" Just then a large explosion rocked the whole building. Some of the in active sentinel's fell over knocking over some of the other sentinel's all around them. It also made Bastions lose a lot of his balance which May capitalised on and ripped straight into him punching straight into his chest plating denting it and pushing him over onto his back where she landed on him and just started to pond into his chest. He raised two of his arms up and fired at her knocking her off his chest and shooting her across the room.

Seeing this Carol punched the glass as hard as she could smash it into the room which was very quickly followed up by Peter jumping though with the glass. Shooting out a web line he swings around and caught May before she could hit anything and then back again to land next to Carol in the window looking out over the room and Bastion slowly getting up.

"Dam that was close." Carol said not taking her eyes off as the sentinel stood back onto its feet. Bastion reached up and pulled the damaged plates off his chest followed by him reaching out and absorbing another sentinel into himself fixing the damage she caused. "Nice trick to bad Logan can do that without the help."

"So, what's the play?" Spider-man asked.

"Well I've been saving up energy. Jumping in the way of every blast and taking as much as I can into my stores."

"Well that could be ether really dangerous or really potent." Carol looked over to her daughter with a very pointed look. "Who taught you how to do that?"

"No one," She sighed and looked over towards her Mother. "A lot of things I had to figure out on my own. Anyway, if we can do enough damage to his hull enough I could redo what my brother did and shoot it all off inside of him."

"You're going to destroy him from the inside out. Nice," Spider-man nodded his head.

"Right Spider-man you play interference, after all you seem to be very good at that." Captain Marvel pointed out.

"You got it." Leaning forward getting ready to jump into battle when it dawned on him. "Hay."

"Spider-woman you and I will take the battle to him. See if we can't make a hole in his armour and then end all of this."

The three of them jumped into battle. Every time the ladies broke through his defences they would damage him a bit more. Then he would ether blast them or knock them away. Whenever possible May would try and get in the way of all of his blasts, so she could absorb the power into herself. Spider-man would catch the ladies whenever he could, or he would swing them back into the fight. He would also try and stop Bison from taking anymore Sentinel's into his mass, but he felt like he was in a losing battle. He might be able to stop him most of the time but with a room full of inactive Sentinel's there was just too many for him to pull from.

Feeling his spider-sense go off he twice around mid-swing to come face to face with a Sentinel that was thrown at him. Having nowhere to go he took the full force of the hit sending him flying back, breaking through a window back into the control room.

"Aww man that really hurt both me and my pride." Standing up he looked around and found himself very close to where the Race as still attached to the monitor. "So, are you about done yet?"

Affirmative connection to hive mind reached. All information has been transphered. Collection ship has been sent. Will arrive in fifteen minutes. All Sentinels have been deemed a threat to the Race and will be wiped from existence.

With that Spider-man's spider sense went off again. He turned in time to watch spider-women's body thrown through the same window he was put through not to minutes ago. Walking over he helped her to her feet.

"Dam that hurt," she said as she slowly straightens up. Looking around she finally saw the Race on the computer. "Why is that thing still alive?"

She tried to punch passed him, but he held her back somehow. "He was a victim her just as much as you are."

"What? How can you say that? They just about wiped us out because of him? Killing him will stop all of that."

"No, it won't." He let her go before continuing. "He and his two others were caught by the sentinel's when they crashed. But instead of helping them, they brought the two of them in and experimented on them until two of them died and then they pulled them apart. They found out that by putting their technology into their own they could become what they always wanted. A way of wiping out all mutant life and establish their own as the only real power on the planet."

"No, it can't be," she said in total shock. She slowly back up away from him she slowly went limp dropping her gaze to the floor. Slowly dawning on her everything that had happened to her in the last few years all started by chance.

"I'm sorry May but if you really want someone to blame for everything that happened. All that pain, suffering and death," moving over to the young hero he turned her to face out the window where Captain Marvel was still fighting Bison. "Blame him."

Letting it all sink in she felt a change within herself going from shock to cold fury, "All your fault."

Slowly the dust settled as Jess came around finding herself laying on the floor. Coughing the dust out of her now very dry through pain all of a sudden shot up her leg and side.

"Ah, sh…" she gritted her teeth against the pain. Looking down her body she found she was just at the exit to the room they were in with then Master Mold and she was pinned to the ground under recage from the roof and walls. "Great," looking back out through the dust she called out. "Widow, Hawkeye, can are you two ok?" Finally, the dust cleared enough she could see to the other wall and that was where she found the two of them. Both knocked out blood covered and laying facing each other. "Great this just keeps getting better and better." Activating her communicator, she tried to reach someone who could hopefully help them. "This is Spider-woman on team two requesting help from anyone who can read me?"

Wolverine slowly pulled himself up into a sitting position. Looking around he watched as the Avengers and X-men made short work of the Sentinel's. The Sentinel's tried to hold their own but their numbers where holding them back due to friendly fire. He chuckled as his chest healed over. His gaze finally fell on Iceman as he took on the four-armed Sentinel that he had been talking to. Seeing his friend being shot through the chest he let out a growl as he pushed himself to his feet. That was when he hears Megan scream and the ground under his feet started to shack. Then the base they were attacking exploded out of one wing.

"Dam who did that?" Once more he turned his attention back to the Sentinel that killed his friend. "Time to teach him why I'm the best." He was about to run in to rip him a new one when his Avenger communicator went off.

"This is Spider-woman on team two requesting help from anyone who can read me?"

Once more letting a growl escape his lips he stopped what his was doing and broke for some cover to reply. "What's the matter Jess?"

"Widow and Hawkeye are out of comition and I'm trapped under some recage. We are going to need some help to get out of this mess."

"Are you in any type of danger?"

"No, I think we are safe for the moment. It's just we took out their main storage and Master Mold, so I don't know how long that will last."

"All right sit tight I'll send Blink in to get you."

Blink, you free? Wolverine broke for cover to take in the battle field. What he saw made him smile.

What's up Logan? I'm kind of bissy try not to end up dead at the moment.

Logan watched as the Hulk held a Sentinel in one hand and use it to smash all the others that where getting close. Thor was just above him charging up his hammer to bring right down on them.

Team one needs an evac. Can you get to them and take them straight to the Blackbird?

Ironman and Captain America where still back to back but while Ironman was only on the offensive the Cap was doing all the defence for the two of them. He had seen the two works in tandem before, but this was taking it to a whole new level.

Sorry not happening. I need ether direct line of sight or to have been there before. I can't just open a portal up like that or whoever goes in it may not come back out.

Storm was flying over both Marvel Girl and Blink. Marvel was putting up barriers and deflecting shots while Blink and Storm where taking the Sentinel's down from a good distance.

Rachel link her mind up with Jess's. I'll tell her what is going on, then if you look through her eyes you can see where they are and then you are all good.

Magma was the only one that could have taken the smile off of his face. She was on her knees and tears of fire fell from her eyes running down her cheeks. All around her the ground melted and the lava that was forming was slowly spreading melting everything it touched, Sentinel's included.

"Spiderwoman? You still there?"

"For now. What's up?"

"Marvel Girl is about to link up your mind with Blinks. When this happens, Blink will open a portal and then the two of them are going to get the three of you out of there. You ready?"

"Go for it. We aren't going anywhere."

Now Racheal go for it.

Racheal's eyes glowed with her powers changed from being on the defence to reaching out with her mind. Then she reached out and touched the back of Blinks head and she snapped her head to one side followed by her throwing out her hand. Opening a portal, the two of them made a break for it jumping through it and out of his line of sight. Then Storm took off to float over the last member of the X-men and the real reason the smile was on his face.

Jess watched as the pink portal opened in front of her and the two mutants jumped through. Looking passed them she saw two Sentinel's walked around the end of the corridor and see them. They raised their arms and charged up to fire at them.

"Look out," She yelled to the two of them.

Both of them span on their heels. Acting on instice Racheal throw a barrier up in front of them as Blink span back around forming two lances one in each hand. She throws both of them at the down Avengers both of them flashing out of sight on impact.

"Racheal I'm not going to be able to get her out of here while she is under all of that rubble."

"I'm kind of busy at the moment stopping us from getting fried."

"When you are ready drop out of the way and I'll hit them." Spiderwoman interrupted them charging her venom blasts.

"Ready?" Rachel prospered herself while Blink ducked behind cover.

"Now." Jess yelled she fired off two shots as strong as she could as quick as she could while Racheal dropped the barrier and jumped behind the same bit of cover as her friend. The blasts hit the Sentinel's dead centre in their chests causing them both to both shack before they exploded.

"Nice." Racheal said as she got back to her feet. Once more using her powers to pull all the rubble off of Jess. "Can you stand on your own?" She asked as she help the spider onto her feet.

Putting her weight on to her feet she let out a cry as pain she was feeling in her legs intensified and she fell back to the ground. "I think my legs are broken."

"Ok," Racheal once more lifted the other women with her powers. "I've got you. Blink lets go."

Blink opened a portal just as their communicators went off.

Outside the Sentinel that had talked to Wolverine and shot Iceman in the chest started to walk towards Magma charging its chest cannon as it walked. This was when it was hammed by hail by Storm forcing it to stop in its tracks. It turned to face her. She floated a little distance away with her arms crossed and a smug look on her face. She made no motion to attack him and this confused its programming.

"Your attack did no damage. Yet you smile." It asked her

"Oh, I'm not smiling from my attack."

"Then way are you relaxed?" Once more it prepared to fire but this time at her.

"Because you are about to have a very bad day."

Just then two very cold arms wrapped around his chest lifting him into the air as he iced up.

"Let me give you some advice." Iceman started as ice spread down its arms and legs. "If you are going to try and kill an omega level mutant." Now it had totally frozen over he smashed it down onto the ground as hard as he could smashing it apart. "Make shore they are dead before you move on."

Flying over so she was floating in front of his face her smiled grow even larger.

"Your powers just keep getting, better don't they?"

"What can I say. Keep this hail and rain up to me and there is just about nothing I can't do."

"Well If you can do anything then how about you deal with Amara." She pointed over to Amara how still knelt on the ground weeping.

"Right Amara."
