I had some super help on this chapter by a friend of mine, Osso. She helped me out with the battle scenes...Kudos to her~~!! Thanks again to Robin for letting me use and abuse her :)
I hope you like this chapter!



Racheal broke Robin's grasp on the dead guards body.

"Don't give me grief," Racheal said to Robin. "I'm sure there's enough room in hell for both of us, or did you forget you work for an agency that breeds hate and fear?"

"The fear of mutants is clearly warranted," Robin whispered, her eyes wide. "Look around you."

"Save your finger pointing for someone else." Racheal said and got her hold back on Robin. The group began to walk toward the van.

Sabertooth stopped and examined the air.

"What is it?" Magneto asked, noticing Sabertooth strange behavior.

But before he could answer, a blast came from nowhere towards Racheal. Toad leaped quickly and pushed her and Robin out of its way less than a second before it would have hit them.

"Split up!" Magneto yelled "We've got company"

Toad and Racheal got up and looked around for the attacker. Robin remained on the ground, looking scared to death.

"What the hell was that?" Racheal asked with a tone of awe in her voice.

"Must be the X-men. The mutants Magneto warned you abou.." Before Toad could finish his sentence, a large man in black leather uniform jumped over Toad knocking him on the ground. Racheal turned around only too see Toad kicking the stranger in the face and starting a fight with him. She was about to reach for one dart to help him when another blast came towards her. She dodge it quickly and saw another man in black uniform with a strange red visor.

"Who are you?" he yelled at her, putting his right hand on the side of his visor.

"Name's Aries." she said grabbing the dart from her thigh. She wanted to get rid of him as quickly as possible so she could go and help Toad out.

Scott blasted the dart before it reached him.

Robin began scurrying away on her hands and knees across the pavement.

"And what's your power," Cyclops said shooting another dart that sliced toward him, "the ability to aim well?"

"The ability to kick your ass." she yelled and lunged forward at Cyclops.

Meanwhile, Mystique, Magneto, Sabertooth and Toad were in trouble too..

Magneto looked worried at the fight between Toad and Wolverine. Toad had the disk with all the information that had been registered in the MCC.

Jean was busy holding Sabertooth still with her mind when someone kick her hard in the ribs, making her lose the concentration and Sabertooth got loose. He went directly at Wolverine, who was about to knock Toad out.
Jean looked up to see Mystique's feet going at her face, knocking her down.

Storm was going towards Magneto when she looked down and saw Jean being knocked out, that's when Magneto decided to took control of Wolverine's metal skeleton and made him fly towards Storm, making both fall hard in the ground.

--

Cyclops blasted at Racheal's leg but only managed to cut thru her uniform and burn her skin slightly, but it was enough to make her realize he meant business. Racheal pretended she was going to lunge for him again, but instead grabbed Robin off the ground and used her as a shield.

It was too late, Cyclops had already fired a blast that went through Robins shoulder straight into Racheal's as well. Robin screamed and fainted.

"Damn it." Scott yelled, when he had realized what he had done.

Racheal answered by throwing a small hand explosive at him. He jumped quickly out of it way just before it exploded.

Toad was going to help her when Magneto stopped him.

"No, Toad, you come with me!" He was worried about the disk "The others can help Racheal with Cyclops." Magneto yelled. "We meet back at the base. Fast!"

Toad gave a longing glance backwards as he followed Magneto away from the base, being torn between his loyalty to Magneto and his need to try and protect the only woman he had ever loved.

Racheal was too busy with Cyclops to notice.

Sabretooth and Mystique were both fighting Wolverine and Storm. Jean was still knocked out. Logan's claws made contact with Mystique's skin and she yelled out in pain. Sabretooth growled at Logan and hefted Mystique onto his shoulders.

"You're on your own, kid!" Sabretooth yelled at Racheal and he ran off with Mystique.

"Get back here, bub!" Wolverine yelled after him and chased Sabretooth into the darkness and out of sight.

Racheal looked around and noticed she was the only one of her team remaining. She began to run away in the same direction Sabretooth had went but Jean had came to and sent a piece of metal soaring to Racheal's head.

The last thing Racheal remembered was Cyclops standing over her, saying something about taking her to see a Professor. Then everything went black.
