Feb. 24 - Sentinels in Mutant Town

by **Daniel Uriel** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 10:55 pm

Daniel smirked, psychic fire glowing sinisterly around him. "Sort of like... this?" He thrust his hand out, sending a wave of telekinetic energy like a firestorm spiraling around them, blasting the Sentinels' hands off to the side along with it to send... well, most of their shots into the Sentinel to their left.

Rachel aimed at the Sentinels that Daniel had damaged, she didn't take any of them out, but she did do some significant damage.

by **Veronica Freud** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 11:39 pm

Ronnie let out a yelp as she was caught off balance. Unfortunately her massive weight combined with the damage the Sentinels had done to the street around her meant that instead of sending her toppling backward she instead fell through what remained of the tarmac and on top of them.

The X-men didn't have any time to celebrate their minor victories... or worry about their immediate problems. Three Sentinels landed atop a building right next to the war zone they created, and with an explosion of jets and blaster fire, blasted the building on top of them.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 12:52 am

And everything went black.

Almost.

Rocks fell, rather hard, and when the X-Men got a little re-oriented and looked around, they'd see that Daniel was bracing a chunk of building off of them, keeping them safe under a telekinetic shield. "I... wouldn't... wait long... if I... were... you," he grunted, straining to keep the shield up.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 1:27 am

Rachel spotted a way out Everyone, follow me. she called telepathically We can get into the sewer, and out of here.

by **Nina Madaraki** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 1:53 am

Nina limps her way over to the others, the front of her uniform covered in blood.

"Where to?" Nina asks.

by **Tommy More** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 1:54 am

"The sewer? You HAVE to be kidding."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 2:07 am

Daniel grunted, then spared the power to shove Tommy into the sewer hole Rachel was indicating. "Just go, you fucking priss!"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 2:29 am

"You'd rather have a building fall on your head?" Rachel said to Tommy as she reached the hole.

by **Tommy More** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 2:30 am

"Yes, actually."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 2:38 am

"Less talking please," Nina says in a drowsy, putting her arm around Tommy to support herself.

by **Madrox Saavedra** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 11:39 am

Madrox stepped ahead of the group and his eyes lit up like flashlights to illuminate the dark sewer.

"Looks like the high beams weren't a silly idea after all."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 4:00 pm

Daniel joined them a moment later, dragging a sized-down Ronnie with him, and panting as the rubble behind them collapsed. "Know what? It's a lot easier to hate those things in person than it is to hate them in abstract... and that says something."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 4:11 pm

"I've got my forcefield over us right now, in case anything collapses. Let's move."

by **Veronica Freud** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 5:51 pm

Ronnie groaned softly. She wasn't in as bad of shape as some of the others but she'd taken a bit of masonry to the skull.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 7:27 pm

There was a loud crash from the street above them that made Daniel jump. "Enough of that... let's blow up through here. Those Sentinels aren't running away."

by **Tommy More** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 10:55 pm

Tommy opened a hole in the street above them, for clearance.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 11:41 pm

"I'll take off first... draw their fire down the street. Ought to give you all a few clear shots at their backs," Daniel said.

by **Tommy More** » Fri Jun 04, 2010 4:11 am

"Are...are you quite alright, madam?" Tommy asked.

by **Nina Madaraki** » Fri Jun 04, 2010 4:14 am

Nina coughs up blood onto Tommy's shoulder.

by **Tommy More** » Fri Jun 04, 2010 4:18 am

"Oh dear! You need to lie down--you're injured! Here," he said, removing his coat--always the gentleman. "Lie on this..."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Fri Jun 04, 2010 4:41 am

While trying to say "I'm fine" Nina mostly ends up dripping blood all over Tommy's coat.

It turns out it is very hard to talk when you are missing an esophagus.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Fri Jun 04, 2010 5:24 pm

"She'll be ok." Rachel said to Tommy "she just needs time for her probes to work."

by **Madrox Saavedra** » Fri Jun 04, 2010 6:12 pm

Madrox's lights turned off and looked to Daniel.

"Ready when you are Scion."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Fri Jun 04, 2010 6:46 pm

Nina nods at Rachel, smiling a bit.

Looking at the Sentinels, Nina frowns.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Fri Jun 04, 2010 11:14 pm

Daniel nodded, the fiery nimbus surrounding him again. He shot up into the air, then streaked down the street to a chorus of Sentinel blasts.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Fri Jun 04, 2010 11:53 pm

Once the Sentinels had their attention elsewhere, Rachel started firing at them with her nifty laser rifle.

by **Veronica Freud** » Sat Jun 05, 2010 12:49 am

Ronnie groaned softly, struggling to try and piece back together her senses. Apart from the blow to her head she was pretty much fine, she'd just been caught off-guard.

by **Madrox Saavedra** » Sat Jun 05, 2010 1:29 pm

Madrox joined Rachel in raining fire upon the Sentinels.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Sat Jun 05, 2010 1:41 pm

Since Captain Britain didn't have a ranged attack, she was out there with Daniel, her force field wrapped about them both as they drew fire.

by **Tommy More** » Sat Jun 05, 2010 1:54 pm

Tommy, rather ineffectively, shot water at the giant robots.

by **Narrator** » Sat Jun 05, 2010 2:11 pm

Amazingly, this wasn't totally ineffective, as Tommy managed to hit a Sentinel who had a large hole blown in it, allowing the water to get in and short out the Sentinel. Electricity arced and crackled, and the Sentinel fell to the ground with a crash.

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Jun 05, 2010 2:56 pm

The bodyslide flash by now should take absolutely no one by surprise.

Granted, the fact that they were all riding a Sentinel just might. During the brief 'get everyone ready to go' break, Cal had enlisted the aid of a kid called Graffiti, one of Tink's old buddies (he decided ignorance was bliss and didn't ponder how good a buddy), and had him change the colors on Titan, so now the Sentinel was black and gold, with a red X-symbol right on the chest, and even a flame design running along it. So, in Cal's words, it looked scary and cool now.

"Come on, guys, let's help these slowpokes finish up!" he called over the racket. "Titan... throw sword-boy at your cousin over there." Titan obediently hurled Kevin in a fastball special at one Sentinel, and aimed for another.

"Primary directives enganged: Protect sentient life."

"Yes, I know. Good boy."

by **Alyson Gregory** » Sat Jun 05, 2010 3:00 pm

"Toss me next." Alyson said with a little grin.

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Jun 05, 2010 3:03 pm

"You heard the lady. Fastball number two, coming up!" Titan plucked Alyson from his shoulder and threw her at another Sentinel.

by **Gideon Rede** » Sat Jun 05, 2010 3:11 pm

Gideon made his way to the ground before grabbing some cover, and beginning to fire at the nearest sentinel's optics.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Jun 05, 2010 3:14 pm

Kevin stuck the landing with his energy blade, the momentum sending him carving over the top of its head. He flipped off onto a rooftop as its head went boom.

by **Alyson Gregory** » Sat Jun 05, 2010 3:53 pm

Alyson landed on the back of hers and started ripping off chunks with fierce determination.

by **Veronica Freud** » Sat Jun 05, 2010 10:15 pm

The street behind two of the Sentinels pushed upward in a mound before buckling, chunks of tarmac exploding out in all directions and hitting them in the backs. When the two massive robots turned around they'd see Alice, blood from her head wound half-dried and running over her face, her uniform torn and stained, and very, very large. Larger than any student had ever seen her before. Her massive hands grabbed a Sentinel each and slammed them into each other again and again and again, paying no heed to the energy blasts from their palms that scorched her body.

Any telepathically-gifted students nearby might notice that she wasn't thinking straight and that her heartbeat was very irregular.
