Chapter 3: Untold Consequences

After some time Wolverine could be heard downstairs Wolverine: you've got ta be kidding me! looks like some uninvited guests came to the door!


Ellie sat up, hearing this, and made her way to scoot off the bed. Heading out of her room, she made her way back into the hall to listen.


Downstairs the group looked as Dolsaiev and Colossus appeared on the other side of the door. Professor X made his way to the door as Wolverine growled. He gave a stern look to Dolsaiev Professor X: hm... Dolsaiev.. what brings you to our doorstep?


He smiled Dolsaiev: with your power Xavier, I'm surprised you haven't already known, yes?


he shook his head Professor X: I am not one to be intrusive with my abilities to guests. What is it you want?


Colossus spoke first Colossus: please Professor, hear him out.. we..


Dolsaiev shook his head Dolsaiev: I believe you discovered two new mutants. Xavier.. I want to.. see them.


Wolverine growled Wolverine: you can see the end of my claws going through your...


the professor cut him off Professor: it is not my choice to make, but if you intend to harm them. I won't stop Wolverine.


Dolsaiev shook his head Dolsaiev: there is no intent, I just want to know what they know. In particular about Mister Sinister.


Cyclops shook his head Cyclops: you have all the information on him that the X-men shared when we joined the union. That's all you need.


As he moved to close the door Dolsaiev spoke once more Dolsaiev: Sinisters laboratory, Disguised as a hospital blew up today. There's nothing left.


they stopped and looked at him surprised. Gambit shook his head Gambit: ain't no surprise, no crawfish is gonna leave his hole without buryin' it.


Dolsaiev nodded Dolsaiev: maybe so, Gambit.. but we were able to ask a friend to find information about it.. Forge.


Jean blinked Jean: Forge is.. working with you too?


Colossus shook his head Colossus: nyet.. it was a trade.


Beast looked at them Beast: Care to tell us what you gave him in return?


Colossus looked a bit away Colossus: it.. was old tech.. nothing worth mentioning.


Dolsaiev shook his head Dolsaiev: now Piotr, we do not need to hide it. Your friend Forge was given a head of a Sentinel.


the group looked shocked. Storm blinked Storm: a Sentinel head?! on Muir Island..


Wolverine shook his head Wolverine: that machine heads lost his mind! if that thing went active..


Colossus shook his head Colossus: there is no reason to worry, it is too damaged for even forge to use. Mostly trinket at this point.


Cyclops shook his head Cyclops: Forge isn't one to collect trinkets..


Dolsaiev shook his head Dolsaiev: we are getting sidetracked. As I said the trade was fair for information. Sinister had quite a bit of footage from his lab.. one, in particular, was able to be salvaged.. something else escaped that lab.. or should I say.. someone.


the professor closed his eyes Professor: and so you want to use this information.. to trade with us?


Dolsaiev nodded Dolsaiev: I only need a minute with them both.. you can all watch me, I will gladly accept whatever you plan to do to me then.


the professor looked at the group a bit. Wolverine shook his head Wolverine: Chuck, we don't need him. Get him out of here before he becomes a part of the lawn.


Professor X sighed Professor: as I said wolverine, it is not my choice to make. Storm, please fetch the two of them for us.


She nodded Storm: yes, professor.


she made her way up the stairs. He then looked to Dolsaiev and Colossus with a nod as the group went to the living room.


Ellie made her way over to his door, knocking on it to try to wake him up. "Hey, Nalm?" She called out. "Something's going on. They need us downstairs."


Storm noticed her and then knocked at the door. Surprised she opened the door slowly and then blinked seeing Nalm not there Storm: what.. where did he...


Ellie blinked but then made her way downstairs quickly. "Who did you see escaped the lab?"


Storm followed as Dolsaiev looked to Ellie Storm: Ellie, wait..


Dolsaiev rose his hand out to her Dolsaiev: my.. you have grown into a fine woman Elisabeth.


the group looked confused at him.


Ellie froze in place. "How do you know my full name?"


Dolsaiev smiled Dolsaiev: a long story child, one that id love to tell you back at my home, but where is the other one?


Cyclops looked to Storm. She shook her head Storm: he's gone.. but I don't know where he could have left..


Ellie shook her head. "I'll answer your questions if you answer mine,"


Dolsaiev growled a bit Dolsaiev: ...you have no right to keep him from me... he is the only one who... he blinked then stopped himself and nodded ah.. forgive me. I only want to tell you and him something. Sinister created a clone of a certain person, nearly unstoppable, and this clone was given one task if his lab were to be destroyed and he did not claim "him".


Ellie spoke up. "Which person is that? What task?"


the professor blinked Professor: there... there's no way.. but.. he was not a mutant.. how...


Dolsaiev nodded Dolsaiev: you could call this a mindless version of him.. dear Caine Marko is nothing more than a tracker with the powers of Colossus.


Cyclops growled as Wolverine snarled. The group shivered a bit as everyone was shocked. Cyclops: Juggernaught..


Dolsaiev shook his head Dolsaiev: what's more, he was programmed to find the child, by any means needed. All it took was sinister to distract the X-men long enough for him to sneak and steal a bit of hair from that boy. With that hair, Juggernaught will seek and capture the boy like a bloodhound, anything or anyone that gets in his way will be flattened.


Wolverine growled Wolverine: then we don't have time to play your games! wheres Juggernaught going!?


Colossus handed them a small device Colossus: this tracker was made by Forge to find him.. but he seems to be making his way back to the site of the battle.. to a small building near it.


Professor X blinked Professor: Jean you Storm, Cyclops, and Wolverine make your way back to the Apartment complex in Manhattan immediately!


Colossus stood up Colossus: I will go too!


Wolverine shook his head Wolverine: nuh uh bub, your gonna leave with your master. We don't have time for traitors.


Colossus blinked surprised at his words. Cyclops shook his head Cyclops: enough wolverine, go on ahead Colossus, and meet us there. Let's go everyone!


soon the group moved out disappearing. Dolsaiev waved his hand to Colossus Dolsaiev: go on my comrade, I will be fine.


Colossus nodded and made his way back outside. A helicopter was waiting for him as he made his way into it and flew off. Soon after the X jet took off with the groups heading to Manhattan.


Dolsaiev looked to Ellie Dolsaiev: you know child, if you were to come with me, I could help you with your powers. You have a great gift.. more than you can imagine. Why with one drop..


Beast growled Beast: don't even think about it, Dolsaiev.


He looked to Beast and the Professor then sighed standing up. He then handed Ellie a card with a number on it Dolsaiev: here you are. If you want to know more about yourself. You can call this number.


Ellie blinked, taking the card in hand, but looked at him. "Who will answer?"


Dolsaiev smiled Dolsaiev: now that, is not something I will spoil here. Good day to you all. he walked out of the door to a second helicopter it took off and vanished in the sky.


Beast looked to the professor Beast: Professor if Nalm truly is there.. there may be more trouble than we think.


Professor X closed his eyes Professor: I believe you might be right.. prep the car, Hank. Let's go and see what we can do.


Ellie shook her head. "Their story... makes sense.. but doesn't at the same time.."


the Professor nodded Professor: the timing is too perfect. Right after the attack on the coffee shop as well. Ellie, let us all find out for ourselves what we are dealing with.


She nodded. "Alright."


the group then headed out in a car toward the Manhattan site. As they moved further towards it, smoke flew into the sky in the distance. Beast sped up as they got closer and soon arrived. Sensing something Professor X gasped Professor X: Hank! stop the car now! hurry! Beast stopped the car quickly just as they reached a large dome-like field of energy covering the area ahead.


They stopped as the group got out of the car. Beast looked towards the bubble and gasped seeing the people inside it frozen in place. Beast: Professor.. this power.


Ellie blinked, looking at them. "But why..."


 he nodded Professor: Nalm is in there, but something is strange.. he closed his eyes and formed a small shield of telekinetic energy around the group. we should be alright with this, Nalm's powers are a bit more like mine, it should hold off the effects for a little bit.


Beast nodded and walked into the bubble. The wave of time hit him but he was safe. he waved his hand to the others that it was safe to proceed.
Ellie made her way over and into the bubble next.


people seemed to be frozen in place along with animals. The group moved through the street seeing explosions frozen in place and empty cars tossed in the air towards the apartment then saw it. The X-men were frozen in time as a giant tanker was heading towards them. In between them, Nalm held the area in place but breaking through his time powers could be seen a large figure. Slowly their speed increased as they appeared behind the tanker preparing to charge through it time sped up for the beast as it glowed and now tore through the tanker, the fuel slowly ignited and a huge grin was on its face. Slowly and steadily it grew closer. Nalm looked around in a panic Nalm: s-someone.. get them.. out of here.. someone... anyone.. h-help!


Ellie yelped, trying to move the others over there as she noticed this, and made her way over toward them as quickly as she could. "Nalm!"


The professor focused his power on forming shields against Nalm's power around the others. They moved quickly avoiding the now full-speed Juggernaut as he rushed at Nalm. Jean pulled Nalm towards her with her powers as he crashed into the apartment building bringing it down around him. Nalm shivered Nalm: it's gone.. but.. at least, everyone made it out.. wait.. he's coming back!


soon Juggernaut broke out of the rubble sending chunks in all directions. The time bubble collapsed as people ran once more for their lives. Jean sent the rubble away from the people and their group while Juggernaut roared to the sky mindlessly beginning his charge at Nalm once more. Wolverine jumped at him and slashed at his back with his claws but was easily pushed off. Cyclops focused his blasts as Juggernaut tore through slowly with Storm sending snow and frost at him to slow him. He looked to the other Cyclops: get out of here! take Nalm and get as far as you can!


Juggernaut roared however and smashed his hands together sending a shockwave at them that broke the glass of every building nearby as it knocked the group over. Now with no one between him and Nalm, he made his way toward him. Beast move to try and stop him but was quickly pushed away sending him crashing into the side of a car. Before Juggernaut could get close however Colossus hopped on his head from atop a building and pounded at the helmet with his fist. He tried ripping through it Colossus: the helmet.. we must focus on the helmet! break through it!


The group slowly recovered as they began focusing their attacks on his helmet and soon were able to leave it with a tear. Juggernaut sensed this and roared out tossing them off him and sending them flying. He then rushed forward in a rage at Nalm but gasped stopping as he reached his hands out trying to get him. He turned a bit growling as Professor X and Jean tapped into his mind and forced his movements to a halt. Jean struggled a bit Jean: I don't.. know how long we can hold him! his mind is barely anything but rage...
the professor nodded Professor: we have to knock him unconscious! Colossus!


Colossus nodded and rushed quickly to a street lamp pulling it from the ground and then rushed forward. Juggernaut finally broke free and charged once more but as he did, Colossus slammed the heavy street lamp down on his head. The hit was so hard it could be heard miles away. The ground also sank beneath Juggernaut as he slowed to a daze bleeding from his head profusely then gurgled falling over. The group huffed as they walked around him making sure he was out.


Wolverine smiled a bit Wolverine: he ain't gettin' up from that one.


Cyclops shook his head Cyclops: don't relax yet.. we need to figure out what to do with him.


Storm nodded Storm: we shouldn't waste time.. let's get him..


Jean gasped and waved her hands pulling them from the juggernaut and forming a large barrier Jean: look out!


Juggernaut soon glowed like a bomb and exploded sending shockwaves everywhere as his armor was sent flying. His body instantly burned to ash leaving a large black mark where he had fallen. As the smoke cleared she looked around sensing another presence, but could not find them. They had vanished in the chaos.


Beast blinked Beast: some sort of.. failsafe?


Jean shook her head Jean: no.. it was a mutant! but they left in confusion.. I couldn't track them.


Wolverine growled Wolverine: the explosion.. that wasn't gunpowder that did him in.. it was his own blood.. turned him into a livin' bomb!


Ellie shivered. "That's...horrifying."


the professor shook his head Professor: let's not stay here any longer, back to the Mansion! he moved with the others as the group led by Cyclops headed back to the X jet.


She moved to follow after them.


The group scattered moving from the site as everyone returned to the X mansion. Soon they gathered in the main room and watched the news report begin once more Reporter: A second attack! this time an apartment building was destroyed, reports say, and an unknown mutant burst from under the hospital in the distance for mutants and rushed towards the apartment complex, destroying anything in its way. The hospital held several mutants and some humans who were injured in the process but were able to get out of the way. Authorities have not identified the mutant in question but many are saying that it was one of the men who sided with local rebellious supporter Dolsaiev Trak. Known as a colossus in their former times with the X-men he is considered a prime suspect in this devastating attack..


Wolverine growled Wolverine: They set you and yer boss up, Tin man!


Colossus growled Colossus: outrageous! I was trying to save lives from that beast!


Professor X looked at him Professor X: were you able to get in contact with Dolsaiev?


Colossus shook his head Colossus: nyet! he is not responding to my calls! this is wretched! I cannot stand this! he growled.


Cyclops looked to him Cyclops: calm down Colossus. The professor can help clear things up. In the meantime, you should stay here under low profile.


Professor X nodded Professor: I believe that is for the best. The conference is soon to start, I am needed there.. under the circumstances though it may be wise to take someone with me. Storm, I want you and Beast to accompany me to the Mayor's Office. We will clear our friend's name and set things straight.


Storm and Beast nodded. Wolverine growled Wolverine: and what are we supposed to do?! sit around here looking at our hands?!


he shook his head Professor X: we can't risk any more run in's with Sinister or his men, the world is starting to grow more antsy by the minute. Give me some time Wolverine, I will give you all the word when it is time to deal with him.


he soon left with Storm and Beast at his side exiting the mansion. Jean shivered Jean: ...what I felt.. when I dove into Juggernaut's mind.. it was more than rage.. there was also a voice..


Ellie blinked, hearing this, and, looked over towards her. "A voice..?"


She nodded Jean: as if he was being controlled. It tapped into his mind but.. there were words that repeated.. "CDR 7 activation" "elimination protocols 12"..


Wolverine growled as his claws came out and he roared Wolverine: CDR 7... that's code used by the docs who did this to me! Weapon X!


Cyclops shook his head Cyclops: Wolverine.. don't!


He soon started off towards the hangar Wolverine: ya can tell me whatever the hell ya want boy scout! but i ain't gonna stop till we cut some answers out of 'em!  I just so happen ta know where their old hang-out is, and it's time I paid them a visit!  don't get in my way!


Cyclops shook his head Cyclops: Wolverine! The professor told us to stand down! we have to stick together!


Gambit spoke up Gambit: Mes amis!  There's no need to fight, Gambit will make sure you are treated right!


Wolverine looked to him Wolverine: this ain't no place for thieves, Cajun. We Aint going for an all-you-can-eat!


He huffed Gambit: Alohrs pas! Wolverine, there's always a need for Gambit, everyone can play a few games with me! though ill always win. he rose a card charging it before tossing it into the fireplace for it to explode sending a bit of dust upward let's go cut a few hands no?


Wolverine growled a bit as the two of them headed to the hangar despite Cyclops' cold glare of disapproval. Jean closed her eyes Jean: it may be best to let them go. We will find out more from here, besides we need to keep these two safe.


Cyclops nodded Cyclops: I understand that, but it might be also time to teach them how to take care of themselves.


Jean blinked Jean: what are you saying, Scott?


Cyclops nodded and walked over to a small side of the room, he removed a book from one of the corners as a hidden elevator appeared. He then looked to the two of them Cyclops: are you two going to let them try and take you? or do you want to stand and fight for yourselves?


Ellie shook her head. "I'd rather not let them take me, but how am I supposed to fight?"


Cyclops shook his head Cyclops: you have to trust in your powers. They're the key to how you fight. How you will defend yourself will start based on them.


Nalm thought on his words Nalm: um.. I don't get it either.. but maybe we can figure it out together.


Ellie nodded. "It's worth a try!"


Cyclops nodded Cyclops: then follow me. he moved next to the bookshelf nearby and pressed a switch inside a book as the shelf turned to its side revealing a hidden elevator. Cyclops then walked into it and waved his hands for them to follow.


She followed him into the elevator.


Nalm soon followed after her. As the doors closed they were brought down to the lower basement of the mansion arriving at a more sleek metallic hallway. Nalm and Ellie looked on surprised but Cyclops soon led them down the hall towards a room at the back. The door in front opened up as he walked in with them following. The area was a large room bigger than a stadium. He looked to them Cyclops: first. I want to show me how you use your powers.


he spoke on a small receiver in his ear Cyclops: Two Danger bots. Standard form. Position standing. No offense soon two robots formed in front of them standing silently as Cyclops nodded Cyclops: try using your powers on these machines.


Ellie held out her hands to the machine closest to her, however, despite a slight glow that came over her hands in a dark pink, nothing seemed to happen to the machine itself.


Cyclops shook his head Cyclops: You don't have to force yourself. Try to understand your power. It's inside each of us to know how to use it. Nalm, you try.


Nalm blinked then shook his head Nalm: wh.. what? um.. it is dangerous with people here..


Cyclops shook his head Cyclops: I understand, it's the control that's hard for you right? look at me. he pointed to his visor if I didn't have this, I'd never have control of my powers. An accident at a young age made it impossible to turn them off I'm afraid. But you can do this Nalm. Focus on a part of the machine at least. Think of what you want to do to it.


Nalm sighed a bit Nalm: um... okay.. but if someone grows a bit taller because of it or older... don't blame me.. he looked to the machine then focused on its arm here we go... he closed his eyes and rose one hand towards it. Slowly a small invisible orb of energy formed around the arm and a small dot of rust formed. He blinked and looked seeing the rust spot smaller than a fly on it. that... ah.. I'm sorry..


Cyclops shook his head with a smile Cyclops: don't be. You did well. Looks like it took a lot of control though..


Nalm shivered Nalm: to be honest yes.. my body got warm trying to do it..


Cyclops blinked Cyclops: so your powers heated your blood a bit then? that's odd..


Ellie thought for a moment. "Could you try it again? And would you be willing to let me try again, but on you? It won't hurt, but I think I can help you cool down, during.."


Nalm blinked Nalm: huh... um okay.. Cyclops stood watching and nodded. Nalm soon tried once more to form an orb of invisible energy around the arm of the machine. He focused on the rust spot once more as it grew larger, this time into a penny size hole of rust. He gasped feeling the heat on his body. it is hot..


Ellie held out her hands towards Nalm, focusing her powers on cooling the blood flow within his body, sensing it and pulling the heat out of it, through the sweat glands in his skin, releasing it like a small mist from his body.


He blinked feeling more energy then focused on the arm once more. A glow came from his eyes as the orb of energy expanded and completely rusted the arm. It fell off to the ground as he smiled then fell over tired Nalm: I... I did it? I did it!


Cyclops smiled Cyclops: well done! both of you!


Nalm stood up a bit Nalm: still.. this only started happening recently.. I was able to use my powers uncontrollably and not be tired.. why?


Cyclops nodded Cyclops: My guess is, you didn't focus on using them so the effort was barely used.


Suddenly the room started blinking red. Cyclops blinked Cyclops: what?!


Ellie blinked. "What's going on??"


Cyclops looked to the top seeing a shadowy figure in the control room Cyclops: someone is taking control... oh no.. he blinked as one of the robots that was damaged was soon repaired and the other vanished. Now in front of them, the robot began to transform ....everyone! get behind me!


Ellie hurried to get behind him, backing away from the robot. 


suddenly it formed into a large silver and red man with whips from his arms. He gave a scowl as he stood ready to fight. Cyclops blinked Cyclops: Omega Red...


Nalm shivered Nalm: that... what is he?!


Cyclops shouted out Cyclops: Cerebro! Calibration 7! Danger alert! activate sub-emergency routines now!


Soon a costumed Wolverine appeared beside Cyclops and lunged at Omega Red. He slashed his tendrils clashing against him as the two began to fight. Cyclops looked to the two of them Cyclops: hurry while he's distracted head to the door behind us!


The door soon vanished and closed on them. They stopped to a halt. Cyclops looked as if the Wolverine robot was soon destroyed and now Omega Red rushed at them. He focused his blast and knocked him back but Omega Red stumbled and slid his tentacle towards Cyclops grabbing his leg. Cyclops groaned as he was pulled towards Omega Red Cyclops: nngh! it's taking... my energy!...


Nalm shivered Nalm: no! he focused his hand on the whip and caused it to start to rust. Omega Red yelled out in pain and pulled his tentacle back. He growled looking to Nalm as Cyclops staggered to recover. Nalm himself soon was heated up and shook his head hah... hah... i got him back..


Ellie focused on Nalm, holding her hand out towards him to release the heat.


Nalm sighed and stood up feeling more better. Cyclops looked as Omega Red soon began to twirl his tendrils in the air like whips Cyclops: Omega Red steals life force with his tendrils, at the moment I do not know how much of his powers are active but it's safe to say his death spores are not. We wouldn't be able to stand right now if they were.. He's also an expert in hand-to-hand combat.. but I think this one is not able to rationalize like higher-level danger room robots.


Nalm shivered Nalm: so how do we beat him? those whips are going to keep us from getting close and he's draining life force if we're hit..


Cyclops nodded then blinked as a whip rushed down at him. He blasted it away as Omega Red pulled it back and did the same with his other whip. He moved to avoid it quickly as Omega Red began twirling them faster. Cyclops looked to them Cyclops: Omega Red is a living Leech, eventually he will need to recover and he will grow desperate to drain us of life. Those whips are made of Cabonadium, they are not as powerful as Wolverines Adamantium but their nothing short of dangerous. Still Omega Red is like anyone else, he has blood and life running through him, and what's more he can get distracted and tired. We need to avoid his attacks and wear him down.


Ellie blinked, hearing this, but got an idea, rushing towards Omega Red. "Hey, big guy, come and get me!" She waved her arms at him and tried to get to catch her.


He looked to her and focused his whips down on her as they rushed toward her. Nalm blinked Nalm: what are you doing?


Ellie focused her hands out toward Omega Red, focusing on the energy inside of the figure in front of her, attacking. She used her powers, focusing on defending herself by attacking the blood inside of him, along with the energy surging through the machine. Her blood would make her arm glow dark pink as her own blood and energy reacted defensively to the energy in her attacking, sending large jolts of electricity surging through the machine's body.


Omega Red stopped in his tracks as his whole body shook. His tendrils were frozen in the air as he growled unable to even move Cyclops and Nalm looked as she completely paralyzed Omega Red he growled trying to break free but was weakening rapidly. His life force started to fade but he now turned a bit and sent a whip out towards Nalm. Nalm stared and looked on with a growl Nalm: get back!! Ahh!! a large orb surrounded the group as a room of time energy formed and began to rapidly disintegrate Omega Reds' body as well as rust the entire section around them. It vanished exploding as Omega Red shattered into pieces turning into rust.


Soon the danger room returned to normal and the doors reappeared. Cyclops looked at them Cyclops: are you two okay?... let's leave before there's any more trouble.


Nalm nodded, heading out of the room.


Ellie followed next, making her way out of the room.


As they appeared outside a person stood far in the back of the hallway. A woman with blue skin and yellow eyes with long red hair stared with a smile ???: hello there, did you enjoy yourselves?


Cyclops growled Cyclops: Mystique! how did you get in here?


She stared over to Nalm and Ellie then to Cyclops Mystique: training the next generation of X men? to die like the rest of your "team" for a worthless cause? You two should leave now if you know what's good for you.


Cyclops shook his head Cyclops: I'm talking to you, Mystique!


She sighed and started to walk towards them Mystique: you of all people should know that I can be anyone and anywhere I wish, she appeared as Professor X with a grin then transformed into Jean, then to her normal self with a laugh* I'm all that I am and still alive. Unlike most of your little "X Men".


Cyclops's visor glowed as she stopped. Cyclops: you not gonna get any closer to them! Leave, before I make you wish you had!


She held a grenade in her hand and smiled Mystique: "Iceman" "Jubilee" "Morph" "Angel" So many have died all because they wanted to play "superhero".


He shook his head Cyclops: you shut your mouth! What did you do but sit by and watch us die defending mutants like you? You caused many of them to die on your own! Toad, Blob, Pyro, all of them going to your senseless acts of violence! The professor may not admit this, but I'm glad Magneto is dead!


She hissed and threw her grenade at him. He blasted it away as it shook the area then moved back with the others. She soon began to shoot at them with guns but Cyclops pulled the group back behind the door. Mystique growled Mystique: I don't want to waste any more time! Do it!


Quicksilver appeared behind the two of them and grabbed Nalm and Ellie pulling them with him. The two of them blinked realizing they were outside the X Mansion.

 

Nalm shivered Nalm: wh-what happened! Where..


Ellie blinked. "Someone grabbed us! But who.."


Soon in front of them, Mister Sinister appeared with a group of other mutants beside him. He grinned Sinister: I've been waiting for you two. Hehehehehehe!!!


Ellie stared at him in surprise. "You, again?!"


he nodded to a woman as she rose her hand causing the two of them to feel sick and dizzy. Nalm shivered unable to stand up Nalm: gg... what ... what's happening..


A voice appeared in their heads of Jean Jean: it's Vertigo! hang in there you two were coming back! Just stay strong for a little longer!


Ellie wobbled, feeling dizzy, and, sick, but rose her hand towards the woman. "I'm.. tired.. of .. this crap!" She let her hand form a fist, as she focused her power on Vertigo, trying to lower the oxygen from her bloodstream to refocus her on herself and try to knock the wind out of her.


Vertigo gasped and stumbled coughing as she stopped her powers. Sinister sent forth George out towards them as he pounced and surrounded them with a tar-like substance that pulled around them. Nalm growled Nalm: it is too thick! I can barely move.. but if I.... his eyes glowed as a small orb appeared around them. George was frozen still as Nalm shattered his way out and did the same for Ellie pulling her from him and moving out of the orb. It soon collapsed as George taken aback by the attack was still solid. He now was stuck in place. Nalm sighed Nalm: hah.. I got us out at least..


Sinister blinked Sister: Impressive! most impressive, the both of you! there's no way I'm letting you go now.


Sinister waved his hand Sinister: go my puppets! bring me my subjects!


With his signal, the group began to charge at them to close the gap. Hairbag charged at them first spinning into a ball of sharp hair to crash into them.


Ellie focused on him, using her powers to send a jolt of electricity flowing through his body to try to stop him.


Hairbag was shocked senseless as he stumbled and fell over. Next Slab charged forth increasing his size and mass then jumped intending to smash them underneath them with a belly flop. Nalm huffed a bit and rose his hand forming an invisible orb around Slab then snapped making him appear in front of Vertigo and smashed her. He blinked and shook his head Nalm: I'm... I'm remembering things... what's going on? he shivered a bit as George now rushed at him reformed and surrounded him pulling him in his tar-like substance to suffocate him ghahh! stop!


Ellie held out her hand to George while rushing toward Nalm at the same time to try to pull him free, by gripping his arm and pulling him back away from the tar with her other. "Leave him alone!" In her haste, she used more of her power, as it went a bit out of her control for just a moment, and stopped the blood in his body from moving, freezing him in place for just long enough to try to knock the air out of George, as his blood would not be able to get any air in his body for a few seconds.


He gasped and suddenly hardened up into stone from the attack. Nalm was able to break out shattering George in the process as he coughed a bit and moved next to Ellie. Sinister shook his head Sinister: you two work in tandem well, your powers are growing.. whereas they are... hmm times up. soon the group roared out in pain as they started to melt away into ash and dust falling apart. All that was left was Sinister who shook his head in disappointment another failure.. but they bought me enough time. Ill simply have to deal with you myself. he snapped his fingers as groups of sinister clones started to appear with laughter and surrounded them Don't fight it, there's no one coming to save you.


Nalm huffed and looked at them surrounded Nalm: so many... there's too many.. I'm already getting tired..


Sinister smiled Sinister: its too late, you're all out of time. You don't have the ability to fight me. Give up and I may leave your voice box intact to scream in agony!


Nalm blinked Nalm: time... out of time?.. then.. ill make time... he moved a bit away from Ellie. if I do not have time.. then I'll make time... if I don't have enough time... he formed a small orb in his hand.


Ellie looked over at him. "Nalm..?"


Sinister blinked Sinister: you couldn't possibly!... stop!


Soon Nalm pushed the orb of time within himself around his heart as his body glowed. He started to grow and transform seemingly shifting through time as his entire body and clothes changed then appeared now more mature but in a fury Nalm: rrrahhhhH!!!!!! he roared out as orbs appeared all around transforming the trees into saplings and even the grass to dust. Some of the sinister's were caught in the attacks and turned into dust instantly.


Ellie stared at him in surprise. "N- Nalm?!"


Sinister blinked and pulled back as more and more of his clones vanished in the attack. He shook his head Sinister: Impossible!... your powers have grown so vast... I havent seen such a skill since... could you be...HIM?! Sinister growled and melted into the ground retreating as his clones were destroyed. Soon the X Jet appeared in the air. Nalm in a rage aimed his hand toward the jet preparing to send it to dust.


Ellie got in-between Nalm and the jet, holding out her hands to Nalm, as she rushed towards him, tackling him to the ground, to try to stop him. "Nalm! No! Calm down, we're okay now! You made us safe!"


Nalm roared out struggling as his powers slowly dissipated. Soon the X Jet landed as Jean rushed to them with the others following. She waved her hand pulling away Ellie as Wolverine Tackled Nalm holding him down. She then moved her hand to his head and closed her eyes Jean: Sleep, Nalm. it's done..


Nalm huffed and slowly gasped then started to revert to his original form sleeping unconscious. Wolverine picked him up and growled Wolverine: damn Sinister! he and Mystique are working together!


Professor Xavier soon came from the X Jet and looked at Ellie Professor: Are you alright, Ellie?


Ellie nodded, sighing a little in relief. "I'm okay.."


he sighed in relief Professor: I'm glad.. but we must gather everyone in the main room immediately. We're no longer safe.


Wolverine sniffed and growled looking to the doorway. Mystique appeared first in cuffs as Cyclops, bloody and bruised a bit walked out behind her Cyclops: I got her..


Mystique growled a bit Mystique: Xavier! how dare you continue to exist! I swear by my master's name... mmph! Cyclops quickly punched her in the stomach knocking her out then held her on his shoulder.


Wolverine smirked Wolverine: Looks like she took ya to hell and back, Summers.


Cyclops smirked Cyclops: she's nothing compared to you,  Wolverine.


Soon the group moved back into the mansion and everyone began to walk back in. Wolverine carried Nalm with him as the group gathered.
