What Yuriko Couldn't Do
Sabretooth gave Rogue a toothy smile. "With pleasure."
He ran towards Rogue as she took to the sky. She teleported so she came in front of him and punched him in the face. He kicked her in the stomach. She bent over to cluch her stomach as pain seared through her. He picked her up and threw her. She went flying and with a crash landed on the ice.
Yuriko had gotten up at this time and moved Jean off the battle grounds. She ran over to where the X-Men were. She put her down beside the prison that they were. They asked her who she was, but she ignored them. She ran back to where Magneto and the Brotherhood were standing so she could cheer on Rogue. She knew Sabretooth would be hard to beat.
As Sabretooth bent down to pick her up, she used Kitty's power so his hands went through her. Startled Sabretooth stood up. Rogue flipped over from her side to her back and kicked his shins with the bottom of her feet.
Sabretooth fell to his knees as he slashed at Rogue. She felt his claws tear the skin on her left arm. She kicked him in the stomach before teleporting herself a safe distance away. She stood up and quickly looked at the cut on her arm.
There were four slash marks, running from her elbow to the wrist. Blood was dripping from it. She thought of Logan's healing factor. Her cuts immediately repaired themselves and skin appeared over the wounds. Rogue once again thought of Logan and threw her hands to her sides before three claws came out of her knuckles. Just as Jean had promised, they were made of the strongest bone, and not covered in blood.
Sabretooth looked startled before, shrugging it off and charging at Rogue.
Logan looked surprised when he saw the claws pop out of Rogue's knuckles.
Jubilee turned to Logan. "What the fuck did you do to her! She's like you!" She screeched at the Canadian. "Well, she's actually nicer." She mumbled.
"What the hell is, like, going on?! She's, like, using all of our powers." Kitty said, staring at the battle.
"We have to get out of here." Logan said. "I couldn't beat Sabretooth. How can she?" He asked looking at the others.
Jean finally stirred. "Jean!" Scott pushed past the others in the cage so he was beside her, except the bars were between them. "Jean?" Scott asked, concern and love in his voice.
"I'm fine." She said turning to Scott with tears in her eyes. "I lost! I can't believe it! I wasn't supposed to loose. Yuriko lost, now me." The tears spilt out of Jean's eyes.
"It's okay, honey." Scott whispered, reaching his hand through the bars so he could grab her hand.
"You don't get it!" She screamed. "Rogue has to face the Brotherhood on her own, now!"
"Why is that?" Storm asked coming up behind Scott.
"Because I lost in my first fight." Everyone looked at Yuriko in shock. Everyone had been paying attention to either Jean or Rogue and Sabretooth, they hadn't notice her come up.
"So what if you guys lost?" Logan snorted. "You're not the ones in here. Since your awake you can always go back to the fight." He pointed out.
"The rules were if you lost a battle, you couldn't fight." Jean explained gently.
"So who else does she have to face?" Jubilee asked. She was so scared for Rogue.
"Well, the first battle was between and Rogue and Pyro." Jean began the story. "She finished him off in about 2 minutes. Then it was me and Arclight, the skinny girl over there with the black hair. She has the power to make sonic waves. Anyways, after I beat her it was Yuriko and Sabretooth. Sabretooth knocked Yuriko out. So Yuriko can't fight anymore. Then it was Rogue and that guy over there in the leather jacket. His name is Multiple Man."
"Care to guess his gift?" Yuriko asked, a little smirk on her face. "That was a great fight. Anyways then it was Mystique and Jean. Jean kicked her ass. Then you guys showed up. "Yuriko explained to them.
"So that means the Fraulien has to fight that Juggernaut guy, Magneto, the blond girl over there and Sabretooth?" He asked in disbelief.
"She'll get too weak to fight them!" Storm said, panic rising in her voice.
"Jean you have to help her!" Scott said, turning to his wife.
"I'll only help her if she needs help." Jean commented softly.
"Just let us out, Red!" Logan's yell shocked everyone. So far he had remained quiet. "She can't possibly fight them! She'll die."
Jubilee and Kitty both let out a cry.
Jean and Yuriko smiled reassuringly at the X-Men. "Don't worry. She'll be fine." Jean said warmly before walking to stand beside the Brotherhood and watch the fight.
Sabretooth choked Rogue, while holding her off the ground. She gasped for breath before clutching his face with her bare hands. Sabretooth felt the pull and before he grew too weak he threw her as far as he could. She went flying to the air and hit the metal bars on the prison. She fell to the ground and landed on her stomach, not moving.
"Rogue!" The X-Men all screamed.
Sabretooth growled as he walked over to Rogue. He was about to pick her up, when she stabbed his foot, with her claws. Sabretooth yelped in pain before picking her up, and stabbing her in the stomach.
Rogue gasped in pain, as Sabretooth pulled his claws back out. She fell to her knees as she heard Jubilee and Kitty screaming and Logan and Bobby cursing at him. She remembered Jean telling her to think of Logan to use his healing factor. Suddenly the pain began to cease. She stood up again looking at the surprised faces of the X-Men. Sabretooth looked pissed off.
Before he had a chance stab her again, she flew into the sky and kicked him in the face. He stumbled back a few steps. She teleported herself behind Sabretooth and kicked him in the back. He fell forward, as Rogue used Jubilee's power to jolt him a bit. She jolted him a few more times, before she borrowed Sabretooth's power to hurl him at the feet of Magneto.
She used to Storm's ability to control the weather to electrocute Sabretooth with lightning. She walked over to Sabretooth, and kicked him so he rolled onto his back.
He had his eyes closed was not moving, except for his breathing.
Rogue looked at Magneto. "I think I knocked him out." She smirked at him.
"No matters, my dear." He smiled. "Victor isn't nearly as good of a fight as Juggernaut or Ms. Marvel. I just wish I didn't have to waste their strength to knock you out, when we could be doing better things." He stated as Jean and Yuriko ran up to Rogue.
"Congratulations Rogue!" Yuriko hugged Rogue. "You beat Sabretooth, when I couldn't!"
"What happens if I loose?" Rogue asked. "I know if we win, we get to leave, but what if we loose?"
"How about a change in the stakes?" Magneto smiled. "If you win, I promise the Brotherhood will not attack your friends for the next month, and let you go without a fuss."
Rogue nodded her head. "But what if I loose?" She asked.
"My dear, let's put it this way. If you loose, you'll wish you were dead." Magneto smiled.
"Let me talk to my team." She said
Jean shook her head. "No Rogue! There's nothing to talk about. We can't let him hurt you. Besides, it would kill everyone if you got hurt."
"What would happen if we walked away right now?" Yuriko asked, turning to look at Magneto.
Magneto looked at the X-Men in the prison, watching the conversation. "Jubilee and Shadowcat will make great toys for Juggernaut. You see... he killed his last one." Juggernaut laughed harshly at the comment. Piotr held Kitty closely at that comment. Jubilee shrunk back until, Beast wrapped his arms around her.
"Alright." Rogue responded.
"Rogue are you sure?" Jean asked. "The others can help take on the Brotherhood if we leave now."
Magneto extended his hand. "Lt's shake on it."
Rogue hesitated before shaking his hand.
