What a day. Wow, I am just in awe.
We arrived at Asteroid M. After Emma mind tricked Toad into letting us in an airlock and fighting a batallion of brotherhood brutes several of us were suddenly pinned to the wall with pieces of metal.
Magneto told the members of the brotherhood that if anybody of us looked like we were going to use our powers to finish us off. Magneto said, "Well, children. I ask you, what were you trying to accomplish here? Help the humans by removing the asteroid sheild? Or maybe you fools were trying to kill me?"
Cyclops said, "You should know by now that's not what we do, Magneto."
Magneto smirked and said, "Yes you just try to make two completly incompatible species to live on the same planet. You are fools."
Mystique looked out the window and says, "Yes, and look what the humans are sending to stop us." Sure enough thousands of those Sentinels advanced were heading towards Asteroid M.
That luckily was all the temporary distraction we needed. Nightcrawler was first free by teleporting. Emma mindtricked several of the guards into blasting our bonds. As for me? I was able to get one of my hands free, and throw a molten rock setting fire to Magnetos cape. I know the guys good but its pretty hard to concentrate on your powers when your clothes are on fire. The free X-men managed to take down the other brotherhood members just as Magneto began to get his cape off and compose himself. He looked angry, and began levitated several metal bars and other various debris from around when he was suddenly hit from behind by a burst of plasma. It was Havok. The distraction was all we needed for Nightcrawler to teleport into a kick in his head, while Beast delivered this weird pinball like kick to his midsection. Magneto's last word before passing out was, "Traitor!"
Havok said, "I didn't really like the decision to surround the Earth with Asteroids." As Cyclops showed his forgiveness to Havok with a simple handshake, the entire Asteroid started to shake.
Storm was looking at a nearby computer moniter. She said, "The sentinels have penitrated the asteroid's defenses. We're being boarded."
Havok took up an intercom and said, "This is Havok. Evacuate Asteroid M in the escape pods at once. They are programmed to take you to Genosha." He then turned to Jean and said, "Use your telekinesis to load these others into these escape pods." She did at once to stressed by the confusion to notice that Magneto and Mystique had disappeared.
After we did so, the Sentinels broke through into the main chamber. We started a great battle to stop as many Sentinels as we could to buy time for the evacuation. It was only when the battle bled into the gigantic main engine room that Astroid M started falling to Earth.
Havok said looking at a computer terminal. "Uh-oh. According to this, if we hit earth, we'll be hitting right in the middle of Manhattan!"
I heard, "Brilliant isn't it?" I followed the voice to see General Kincaid in a cockpit built into a humoungous Sentinel. With an army of sentinels behind him. He continued, "Humans will blame mutants for the destruction of New York City and them wipe them from the planet."
Cyclops then said, "It is a brilliant plan, Kincaid. Except for one thing."
"Oh, what's that?"
Cyclops yelled, "You can't beat us! X-men, Attack!"
Kincaid insanely screamed, "Go ahead and try! I'm willing to die for this."
We waded into Kincaid and his army. It was a particularly fierce battle as both sides had really no hope of leaving alive. However after using a Volcano burst attack to take out several sentinels, Kincaid's Sentinel with on of its tree sized arms knocked me into a conjoining room.
I wasn't hurt that badly, and I quickly got up, and noticed in a nearby hallway, Magneto badly injured hobbling and Mystique pleading, "Eric, don't do this!"
Magneto replied, "There are still thousands of mutants here and hundreds in New York City. They'll die if we don't stop this asteroid from falling, Raven."
Mystique pleaded, "You're too weak from your injuries, that kind of pressure will probably kill you." She then noticed me for the first time and said, "You! Eric, you don't need to be the one to do this!" She then turned to me and said, "You wan't to save New York City, Girl? Please come with us."
She then led us into a room containing a large machine with a control panel with two prominent hand grips as its main feature. Mystique then said, "This is the Gravitron. A device we created that amplifies magnetic and terrakinetic powers. Magneto used it to create that asteroid sheild around Earth.
It took me a second to fill in the pieces. I said, "I can use it too right? That's why you tried to kidnap me." Mystique nodded and I continued, "Fine, but on one condition. Get in that escape pod over there, and leave Asteroid M first." Magneto asked why and I replied, "Because after I've saved Asteroid M, I plan to remove the asteroid sheild, and I don't want you interfering in that."
Magneto said, "And if we don't?"
I said, "Then I'm going back to the engine room and am going to try to help my friends." We both saw Earth rapidly approaching out a nearby window. We were like frat boys in cars racing at each other in a chicken fight trying to see who would swerve first. Eventually Magneto said, "You are a unique type of opponent, Lady Magma. Let's go, Raven."
As Mystique loaded the injured Magneto into the escape pod, she said, "Just grab those hand grips and channel your power into it." The escape pod door then closed on both of them, and they launched away.
Even with the boost the gravitron gave my terrakinetic powers, I was still trying to move a rock the size of Mt. Rushmore. Just to save us, I pushed myself past every limit I've ever set for myself, but eventually Asteroid M stopped its fall. As I pushed myself even more into moving the asteroids around Earth, I was suddenly knocked out as the Graviton overheated and burst. Apparently I pushed the Gravitron past its limits as well.
I woke up in the X-jet. Bobby said, "Don't scare me like that girl." As I looked around and saw the X-men, all with minor injuries except for Jean who was also unconscious with Cyclops by her side, I realized that we had our victory.
We suddenly heard General Kincaid say from the back, "Why don't you just kill me?"
Wolverine replied, "What, and make you a martyr for your cause? No way, bub. We're not that nice. Maybe Nick can explain why what's going to happen to you is worse."
The face of Nick Fury appeared on the front monitor. "Hello, William."
Kincaid was absolutly enraged. "FURY, you Traitor to humanity!"
Fury only responded with, "Thanks to the security camera footage from Asteroid M, you will be charged with various crimes against humanity. Oh and thats not all. I will make sure the footage is put on every major news network, and every decent human being in the world, and even the not-so-decent but not radically extreme human beings will know that you are a murderer, an embarassment to humanity, and will turn its back on you. That is a far worse punishment than a death at the hands of the people you hate."
General Kincaid simply said, "You.." but didn't have the heart to continue.
Jubilee than turned to me and said, "So, saved several million people on your first month of service. Why can't I claim that?"
I said, "Hey, just doing the job of X-men."
Professor Xavier than appeared in a psychic vision and said, "Indeed. Outstanding work Allison and to all. You have all today demonstrated the will and the values that show in being an X-men. For X-men are truly the people of legends."
I wonder if that's true. Legends in my opinion are people who people talk about long after their time has passed. I wonder if people will talk about me? I wonder if people will tell their grandchildren, "Let me tell you about Magma, the prom queen who saved New York City."
I guess time will tell.
Well, looks like we're arriving back.
Later,
Magma
