Hello again to all my friends. I don't own X-men, but regardless the original characters that I'll be using in here do belong to me.
This chapter is brought to you by... Final Destination by Within Temptation. (I was listening to it repeatedly while writing it cause it just fit so well)

Chapter 29
Fire licked up at her immediately, her shadows countered wrapping Pyro's arm in darkness and consuming fire before it could come from the device in his sleeve. He fired with the other hand, the shadows did what they had on their first encounter, she pulled up a hand and the flames disappeared into the darkness.
"You're Rune's new little girlfriend right?" Pyro said with a smirk. "Fancy trick you got, how fast do you think you are though?"
Naomi smiled, "Fast enough." She moved away from another blast of fire. She kept moving away from each shot, he laughed asking if all she could do was dodge. She glanced down at her shadow, with each breath of fire a shadow appeared for a moment, like a canibal her shadow consumed the momentary shadows adding to her strength.
She spread her hands and pulled up, two long arms of shadows pulled up behind her, the flashlight showed the sharp ends split into jagged sharp fingers. Two more wrapped around Pyro's ankles and pushed his feet out from under him. Flames shot up on to the ceiling beams, they crackled into orange and yellow flames. "Is that you're only trick?" Naomi asked, she shoved a hand forward in a fist, the shadow hand imitated her own hand and shot out and hit the ground where Pyro had been laying, he rolled up to his feet.
He grabbed at the fire on the beams, two balls of flames rolled down and into his hands, "I have to say, your tricks pretty good." He let the fire roll out in long tongues toward her, "Mine's better."
The flashes of flames caught Rael's eye as he used his bow to pin down another student against the wall, "Could you go check that out Feathers?" He asked calmly, and formed a sheild between himself with the black energy and several charging students, they began to pound on the black energy.
"It will be just a second." Feather hit one of the girls in the face then shifted. Her arms becoming wings and shrinking into a hawk, she took off immediately and flew toward the tech booth.
"Take this!" Circuit yelled above the crowed, he tossed a chip into the air, Feathers caught it in her talons, "Put it on the main board if you can!" He returned to the fight at hand, from his back came what looked like wires wrapped around themselves, they swung out knocking down several students. Sparky was paralizing anyone who stepped too close to her or Hart.
Vines broke through windows while Ivy used them to pick up students and restrain them.
Naomi's shadows moved to swallow the flames, Pyro shifted them making them weave around the darkness she controlled. Another portion of the shadow worked to collect the newly cast shadows. Naomi smirked and wrapped herself in a cocoon of shadows. Pyro had the fire circle around the cocoon.
"Give up? One move out of that thing and you're fried!" He taunted.
"And if I'm not in it?" Naomi replied from behind him she swung out with a fist, the shadow turned into a single sharp blade it cut across his arms, severing the connection from the flame device. She sent the shadow up and wrapped around the flaming beam when the shadows pulled away the section of flaming beam had vanished. "You can't make the flames yourself can you?" She said with a smile.
Pyro still had flames in his hands he laughed, "God, I love Recharge's powers, you've been touched, you're over confidant in your own powers. He sent out a stream of fire into the gym, it shot past Feathers and hit the ground near the others, "Think your fast enough to stop that?" He replied, the floor caught to flames and began to spread around everyone.
Naomi went to jump through her shadow, Pyro grabbed her arm and he was pulled along.
She stopped them in-between. She kicked him off her. "I could just leave you here." She stated.
Pyro looked her over, there were many shadows pulsating and wavering around her black skinned form, with white hair and white eyes. He smirked, "I have a proposition for you." Naomi scoffed and turned to leave, the shadow opened for her. "I'll make Recharge stop, and let everyone else leave, if you come with us."
The shadow manipulator nearly missed a step, she turned around, "Why would you do that? I'm nothing special."
"True, but we're after bigger fish, bait is always needed." Pyro stated.
She swung out with a shadow, it sliced the air and across Pyro's cheek, he flinched away from it and put a hand to the fresh cut, "I won't play your games, whatever they are." She turned again, through the shadow she saw flames crawling up curtains, students running around screaming, Ivy's plants were burning, Curse's pin men were slowing as they grew hot and eventually stopped moving. The fire alarm should of gone off by now, the sprinkler system should of been on, but it wasn't.
"I had Recoil sabotage the fire alarm system." Pyro stated behind her as she watched. Feathers and Fallen Angel were surrounded by the licking flames, "Its a pity that the whole school is gonna burn and its all your fault. I could put it out, but I have no reason to." He said with a laugh.
Naomi gritted her teeth, the shadows shot out and wrapped around Pyro, they drew him in toward her. "Fine."
The flames began to decrease then extinguish themselves. Logan looked around and noticed the small gathering of the Brotherhood on the stage, Recharge was smiling, she whistled and everyone looked toward her. "Recharge says, you all have fifteen minutes to leave the school before they can attack again."
"What's going on Rachel!" Dragon yelled over at her, "First you attack then you stop what's your problem!"
Pyro moved to the side revealing Naomi standing between Recoil and Blink, "We've got what we've come for."
There was a cacophony of them calling her name, Rael called her Reckless. "Let her go!" Rune yelled, the already unstable school shook with the extra gravity placed on it in his anger. "I'm what you want right? Let her go!"
Recharge walked back and wrapped an arm around Naomi, she shuddered and fell to her knees. "I found out something fun Rune, I can give, and I can take away." She smiled, "And I don't want you anymore."
Blink grabbed hold of everyone, in a crackle of power they were all gone.
The building shuddered again, pieces falling into what was left of the students. Rune gritted his teeth and turned to the others, "We're getting Naomi back, right now." He stormed out of the school, a bubble of extreme pressure surrounded him pushing them back, the door frame even bent out.
