RPG X Men: The Beginning

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]As soon as she had space to move, she slipped out and Jack dropped the car down again. Her eyes spoke her thanks...speaking seemed like too much work. He nodded and turned to go clean up the disaster area.

Sil grimaced and licked the blood from her stained hands. With some difficulty, she rose to her feet and staggared over to where Craig was. She sat down next to him, not bothering to comfort him....but empathizing. He wasn't the first to fall.[/i]

Craig: Damnit.

Sil: .........It could've been worse. If you were the one to kill me, at least it would've been quick.

Adriana: Don't tell me you're siding with him Sil. He almost did kill you.

Sil: It's okay. I don't really care right now.

Aimee: ....so you forgive him?

Sil: He is sorry.[/COLOR]

[Yoda]

[B]Craig:[/B] It... it wasn't my fault.

[B]Sil:[/B] What? Why?

[B]Craig:[/B] Magneto... he did something to my mind, and to Seifer's mind. We were like robots...

[B]Aimee:[/B] What should we do?

[B]Craig:[/B] We have to stop... my father.

[B]Sil:[/B] Your father? Magneto's your father?

Craig looked up at Sil through shameful eyes. She could see that that simple fact was a heavy burden for him to bear. Craig now, was prepared to fight again, as an X-Man, and take his father down. One problem remained through, before anything happened. Craig's twin... Seifer. Craig hadn't seen him in a while, and wasn't sure what kind of state he was in.

[Guest QuickSilver]

Since both Criag and Seifer were evolved that had an even stronger link. Seifer could sense the goodness in his heart. Seifer, did not care, as afr as he was concerned Craig was good now so he to would have to be eliminated along with the X-Men. Seifer picked up the pace, he could not wait until the X-Men were finally delt with. craig sensed him, he knew is brother was coming and it wouldnt be long before he arrives.

[b]Seifer:[/b] Brother, it seems you have joined the enemy and so you must pay for going against your father.

[b]Craig:[/b] He his messing with your mind. Cant you tell, the old Seifer would have never cause destruction and carnage like this. Come with me and we can beat Magneto....together.

[b]Seifer:[/b] *grins* Lets do this.

[Yoda]

The X-Men stood together again, as a team. Xavier at their head, addressing them. However, now Aimee and Claire were with them. Their priorities for the team were unknown for the moment.

[B]Xavier:[/B] My friends... this is your first real mission. You must defeat Magneto, and destroy that asteroid. Craig, Seifer... I warn you that when that asteroid blows, you will lose your enhancements.

Craig and Seifer nodded... they were prepared to face the consequences of their actions, and do what was needed.

[B]Xavier:[/B] Craig, Seifer, you will lead the team into battle today. I am very sorry to say that I cannot join you. There is a mutant elsewhere that desperately needs my help.

[B]Jack:[/B] Will he join the team if you get to him?

[B]Xavier:[/B] He very well may. There's something to look forward to when you get back. Now remember my friends... you are not just a team, you are all family. Fight well, and succeed, for each other.

Craig clenched his fists and smiled... he was about to fight with his real family. He turned, and faced the rest of his team with optimism in his eyes and smile. Xavier, now in a new wheelchair, turned and went back towards the barely stable mansion.

[B]Craig:[/B] Okay guys, here's the plan. We have four people hear that can transport people to the asteroid. That's myself, Seifer, Sil and Adrianna. Andrew is already up on the asteroid, I'm not sure what sort of condition he is in. There are some powerful mutants up there waiting for us, so be prepared.

As the team prepared themselves to leave, Aimee approached Craig. She was smiling sadly...

[B]Aimee:[/B] Craig, I know this is a bad time... but I think it's best if we break off the relationship.

Craig smiled... she was right. His heart belonged to another...

[Guest QuickSilver]

They all got ready. Alex was on Craigs back, Claire was on Seifer's, Jack on Adriana and Aimee on Sil's (sorry if i missed anyone, i put the Characters of the people who post lately.)Craig, Adriana, and Sil rose into the air. Seifer quickly proceeded and was the first on the asteroid; closely followed by the rest of them. Andrew was still fighting Sabretooth and the both seemed to be getting very tired. The rest of them werent gonna let Andrew fight alone, they were a team now and they should fight like a team. Alex lifted Sabretooth into the air making lose his guard on Andrew long enough for Andrew to hit him off the Asteroid. Craig then used his powers to rip open the doors to the Asteroid so all could proceed inside. They didnt have enough time to walk around the maze like corridors so Claire her fire ability to melt a way through the walls so they could get to Magneto quicker. They reached the room where Magneto was awaiting their arrival. But he was not alone, there were seven others with him. There was Collosus, Avalanche, Blob, Toad, Piro, Spyke and Mystique.

[b]Magneto:[/b] So the brothers have come back to seek revenge on their father, so be it, you will die with the X-Men at the nands of me and my Brotherhood.
------------------------------------------------------------------

As you most prob Guesses you pick a Character to fight, and the two bad guys who are left with fight Aimee and Claire.

[Yoda]

Craig and Seifer squared off against their father Magneto. Both boys were tall, but Magneto towered over both of them physically. His face was masked by the shadows cast in his helmet, only his eyes, the gleaming yellow eyes that both he and Craig possesed could be seen.

[B]Magneto:[/B] We don't have to do this boys... you can still take your place at my side, where you belong.

[B]Craig:[/B] We are where we belong... with the X-Men.

[B]Magneto:[/B] So be it... X-Men.

Magneto rose into the air, preparing to battle. The other were fighting frantically all around the three, but they seemed to be in their own bubble, inactive from the fight outside. This was their own private fight...

[Gohan]

[I]The X-men stood facing the other mutants. Jack was looking straight at Pyro who was staring back.[/I]

[B]Jack:[/B] And what do you do?

[I]Pyro let out a blast of fire from the flamethrowers, located each arm[/I]

[B]Jack:[/B] That isn't a power! You got flamethrowers attached to your arms!

[I]Pyro then let out another blast but this time, the fire turned into the shape, long necks, with heads at the top. The heads shot out towards Jack, snapping fiercly. Jack leapt backwards to avoid the flames and Pyro let out a cocky laugh.[/I]

[B]Pyro:[/B] Impressed? And what.s your power, besides the gift of the gab?

[B]Jack:[/B] How about I show you.

[I]Jack threw both of his ams out in front of him and sent a blast towards Pyro. It struck him clean in the chest, sending him hurtling backwards into one of the large walls. Jack ran over to Pyro as he got up and the two had a furious fist fight.[/I]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Mystique glared at Moon Chaser....yellow clashing against silver. Sil gritted her teeth and bared her slightly feral teeth. The shape shifter weighed the possible outcomes in her mind....but it was too late. Marrow's gift was already in Sil's hands and she wielded it expertly....swinging it in a tight close arch, she brought it down, inches from Mystique's heart....

Their faces inches from eachother's, Sil roared her hunting challenge....and bit off one of her gloves....prepared to slap her hand down and finish the damned mutant off.[/i]

Sil: ......die.

[i]The blue skinned female stared up at her, eyes crossing with fear....[/i][/COLOR]

[Yoda]

Craig rose to meet his father, as Seifer shot off into invisbility... but not for long. Magneto extended his arms, and a magnetic pulse shot forward, suddenly hitting the moving Seifer as he ran through the air. He was knocked into the ground, seriously hurt. Craig, however, had taken this opportunity well. He had ripped a metal support beam from the wall, and hurled it towards Magneto. He turned, in shock, and stopped the bar inches from his face.

The pair struggled to force the beam towards the other person. Craig, however, was clearly focusing greatly, while Magneto's focus was somewhat less. With a laugh, Craig felt that all too familiar feeling of inferiority as the beam forced it's way towards Craig, now with blinding speed. Craig could have moved... but he had to give his brother an opening. This was their one chance to beat Magneto. Seifer had gotten back on his feet, and watched as the metal beam hit his brother, and drove straight through his midsection.

Seifer, although distressed beyond belief, took his chance, as Craig had planned. He raced upwards, and tackled Magneto hard with his shoulder, sending him spiraling into the chamber that had evolved Craig and Seifer earlier. The power of Magneto was too much for the chamber to bare... and it started to colapse in on itself.

Craig had fallen to the floor, coughing up blood... wounded beyond repair. He had used the remainder of his power to remove the beam from his chest, and now he lay, struggling for breath on the floor, in a pool of his own blood. His brother looked on in horror, almost brought to tears, but he saw calm in the eyes of his brother...

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue]Sil: ....despair Mystique....and die.

[i]With a vicious slap, she brought her hand down and drained the life out of the fallen mutant....before rising to her feet and tugging the blade free from her chest. She smiled and turned to look over her shoulder.[/i]

Sil: Arigato.

[i]It was at this point, that she heard a slight moan and smelled blood. Craig's blood. She raced down the hall, gloves slipping back onto her hands, and stumbled into the room where Magneto had fallen, and Craig been wounded. Her eyes opened wide, and she rushed to help Craig.[/i]

Craig: Save it.

Sil: But you.....you can't...

[i]Tears began to form in her eyes and she cradled his head in her leather covered arms. It wasn't fair. To lose him, gain him back, then lose him all over again. He grimaced through the pain and looked up at her face. Silver eyes were now blured with salt water.[/i]

Sil: ...please don't go.[/COLOR]

[Yoda]

[B]Craig:[/B] It's... it's okay. We beat Magneto... that's all, all that matters.

He forced a smile, but was barely conscious... he could see Sil, brought to tears as she cradled him in her arms. He knew she could probably see the blood stained floor through his chest, but he was too weary and to weak to even lift his head and look. The room groaned as the place continued to collapse slowly.

[B]Craig:[/B] You'd better... leave. This place, it's goin'.

[B]Sil:[/B] I'm taking you with me...

[B]Craig:[/B] No good... I'm done. You go... and, take care of my brother.

Sil couldn't speak... her throat was tight with sorrow, and her eyes, blurred by tears of anger and sadness. With a last, great struggle, Craig lifted one hand, and touched her cheek softly.

[B]Sil:[/B] ... I love you.

Craig forced another smile... he had almost given out the last of his strength.

[B]Craig:[/B] I... I know.

Sil raised him up, and kissed his softly on the lips. Craig, too weak to respond, to weak to even move anymore. So he died, happy, and Sil watched, helpless, as he went limp and cold.

[Schrat]

[size=1][color=blue][center][b]Sleep...[/b][/center]
Nick Pequa, known in his school as "Ice-boy" or "frosty", or the kid that always wants to be number one, isnt. When Nick witnessed the birth of his first mutation, it basically destroyed his life. Weeks ago, one week after the "Andrew incedent", Nick saw the birth of his second mutation, a stasis of a constant ice bulk on his body. Causing his mind, body, and life, to be trapped inside of a monster of Ice. How could this happen, Nick askes himself. How could he get help...[/color][/size]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Her eyes closed and she sighed slowly. Death again. There was no time to greive, but she knew there was one thing left for them. She was not going to leave him here....he deserved a proper funeral....not this. She bent down and hauled him over her back. Then she turned and left....

The weather witch looked at her, and nodded once.[/i]

Adriana: He died well.

Sil: Yes.

[i]They took off and the X-men returned to Earth......quiet and thoughtful. This had been something different.....Xavier greeted them and noded to Sil. she smiled slightly then returned to her stoic state.[/i][/COLOR]

[Guest QuickSilver]

Seifer stood alone on the roof of the mansion. He gazed quietly up at the asteroid, which was collasping in on itself. A slight tear run down his eyes as he remembered the time he spent with what family he had.....Craig. He would never forgive himself for what happened on the asteroid. He could have saved Craig, craig could have saved himself. He gasped as a few pods excaped for the Asteroid seconds before the explosion. Clouds of ash filled the sky as bits of rubble fell down.

A slight surge ran through Seifer's body as he fell to the ground. His muscles tightened, pain was all over his body. He gripped tightly onto his head, blood ran down his face. The power he once knew was fading fast, too fast for his body to cope. He fell into a coma, his body needed to build back the strength he had before evolving.

[Schrat]

[size=1][color=blue]

"NO!"

Nick,in his room, inside the massive ice body built over him tried to get to his feet. He pushed off his bed using his gigantic arms and reached the floor. He threw his arms into the air and layed out a feriocious scream, that could be heard for miles.

"This will not ruin my life...AGAIN!"

The Ice grew, increasing his body mass, and engulfing the entire room with ice.

"I WON'T LET IT!"

Then in an instant the Ice was gone. Nick was returned to his natural state, a 16 year old boy. He walked to his bed and sat down. Nick held his hand infront of his body and created a ball of ice in his palm. He then covered his hand in ice and returned it to its normal state. Everything was fine, hopefully it would stay that way...

ooc: Just a quick note guys, im not trying to get into this game's plot, its to late for that. Basically im trying to make my character grow and get him ready for the next game....[/size][/color]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]She set him down, then fled. She had no desire to see him buried, creamted, and hear the words spoken over his head. Tears streaming from her face, she flew as far and as fast as she could, before coming down next to the Japanese gardens. She burst through the gate, then tossed the bolt in again, then she padded up to the shrine and threw herself at it's base. Words flew from her mouth unbidden, and she sobbed.

"Why did he have to leave me? I just......"

Face pressed against the cold stone, she held herself down for many minutes....then she rose to her knees and lit the insence again..... She placed it onto the two hanging trays and then bowed again.[/i]

Sil: See that he is taken care of. He loved me.

[i]Then she rose to her feet and walked outside again. The bell was waiting...and she halfway smiled and pulled it's cord. Then she clapped her hands once more and looked to the sky.[/i]

Sil: I wish I had someone to love....someone who won't leave me again.[/COLOR]

[Schrat]

[color=blue][size=1]Nick walked out of his room and then down the hallway to the main stairway. he looked around and smiled that he could freely walk around the mansion, not afraind of others looking at him oddly.
Nick hadnt been out of his room for weeks, except for food and bath, so he needed to find out what has been going on. He walked down the stairs and to the main doorway. He steped outside and looked across the front yard to find Sil, standing alone crying.
Nick walked to her and put his arm on her shoulder.

"Sil, is everything ok?"[/color][/size]

[Rei]

[COLOR=red][i]After weeks of being in stasis to restore her memory and calm her emotions Amara has finally awaken from her deep sleep. Amara looks around the room to see if the professor is anywhere in sight which he isn't. Amara ripped off the wires on her body and walked out into the hallway searching for Xavier.[/i][/COLOR]

[Yoda]

And so comes the introduction of Nightcrawler. So... the next game starts.
---------------------------------------------------------------

The boy ran, as fast as he could, on through the blistering rain, down the empty street. The mob chased him, armed to the teeth with flaming torches, knives and chainsaws. The boy was hunched forward naturally, running on all fours, using his tail as a rudder to enhance his agility.

The boy darted into an alley, and leapt up, clinging to the wall, pressing himself as flatly as he could to it. He was shadowed by the wall, but it was also dusk, and raining badly. The boy, named Craig, figured he had a good chance of not being spotted. He shut his bright yellow eyes tightly... praying that he wouldn't be seen.

The mob rushed past, they hadn't even considered the alley as an option, nevermind scoured it to find Craig. He was safe... for now. He opened his eyes, and suddenly, with a spark and a cloud of ash, he disappeared.

Craig appeared again on the roof of his house. He was crouched, his hands placed on the floor between his legs, and standing on his toes. His tail swayed freely behind him. The mob was nearly a mile away now, he was safe for the moment.

[I]"Over here..."[/I]

Craig looked about, he had heard a voice, but it was almost as if he had heard the voice in his head. There was no-one in sight... and the voice was almost a whisper. However, the voice was calm and welcoming... not the sort of voice Craig was used to lately.

[I]"Come, this way!"[/I]

The same whispering voice in his head... but it felt as if it was coming from a very specific direction... the woodland behind his house. He leapt off the roof, and landed in his garden. He leapt over the garden fence, and ran again, on all fours, into the woodland.

[I]"Good. Hurry Craig!"[/I]

The voice knew his name? This was getting strange, but the voice contained the same trusting, welcoming and calm tone that pushed Craig onwards. He ran for a few minutes, and finally reached a clearing. In that clearing, was a very sleak helicopter. One man was outside it... he was bald, and disabled. The blistering rain that engulfed the woodland didn't seem to be able to touch him... he was completely dry. Craig walked forward catiously, still crouched on all fours, his fur soaked.

[B]Craig:[/B] What do you want?

[B]Xavier:[/B] Hello Craig. I am Professor Charles Xavier. Do not fear, I bring help, not hostility. I run a school for gifted individuals like yourself.

[B]Craig:[/B] Not gifted... cursed is more the word. Anyway, how do you know my name?

[I]"Your not the only one with gifts..."[/I]

The Professor's voice, spoken directly into his head... but the man's lips hadn't moved. Craig realised suddenly, this man was like him... he was a mutant. Craig stood up on his feet alone now, and straightened up to his full height.

[B]Xavier:[/B] Atleast let me take you to my school Craig. You can see the place, and make your decision...

Craig regarded the man for a while... this could all be a trap. But there was something about this man, a calmness and serenity that demanded trust. Craig took a step forward.

[B]Craig:[/B] Okay... I'll come.

[Raiha]

[COLOr=royalblue]Sil: ....I'm fine.

[i]She brushed his hand away and stood up. The burning was done. She grimaced and silently rose into the air......far away from anyone.

Once she cleared human vision, she took off, giving vent to her feelings of despair, fear, and anger. Adriana looked out of her window, up at the clouds...and she knew what was happening.

Voice rising to the howl of wolves, Moon Chaser roared and screamed. Life was not fair, and it was not worth it....but she still found reasons to keep on moving forwards.[/i]

Sil: I'm not done yet!

[i]She screamed her challenge to the skies.....then slowly sank down to earth....energy spent.[/i][/cOLOR]

[Schrat]

[color=blue]"Pain, why does there always have to be pain..."

Nick looked down. Everyone or thing he touched turned to pain, why!

"WHY!"

Nick erupted with pain. His body began covering itself in ice, like it had earlier in the day. He was turning into the monster once again.

"NO!!!!"

The monster stomped its enormous foot on the ground and begna walking towards Sil.

"no, i cant hurt her. I must calm..."

In an instant his body was restored to normal, what was this new power nick was discovering, how could he get rid of it...[/color]

[Gohan]

[I]Jack stood sat at the edge of his bed, his face cupped in his hands. He forced back the tears. He had lost a good friend, and a excellent team mate. As he thought of Craig's sacrifice, a surge of anger flowed through him. He hated himself for not doing something more than just defeating Pyro. He got up and walked towards the door. The anger surged through his body; he turned around and punched the wall. His hand went into the wall cutting it on the inside of the wall.

He pulled it out and opened the door. The pain still hadn?t kicked in. He walked up to the roof and found Seifer lying on the floor. He picked him up and carried him to the treatment room, and placed him on the treatment table. He then went into the cafeteria to find someone he could talk to but instead found a bunch of strangers. He got a drink of milk and sat down, stirring it with his straw, deep in thought[/I]

[Raiha]

[COLOr=royalblue]Sil: I'm sorry Nick.....

[i]He looked at her calmly, as if it was nothing to be unexpected....and she smiled slightly. Then she looked away again. The sun was setting again....and the moon was rising once more. Full, pale, flush against the backdrop of blackness.[/i]

Sil: Are you alright?

Nick: Yeah.....sorta.

Sil: New powers showing up?

Nick: I can handle it. What about you?

Sil: I don't know.........I've never been able to control my power, so I kinda gave up trying.... I mean, what's the use? I'll never be able to love and be loved. Not the way it should be.[/COLOr]

[Schrat]

[color=blue]" Love desnt have to involve touch Sil"

Sil: "I know Nick, its just..."

"I know it's just not the same right?"

Nick walked towards the mansion still with his mind and eyes on Sil. He stoped when he reached the door.

"Cmon Sil lets get something to eat and talk"

Sil, with her head towards the ground walked towards Nick. They both entered the mansion and down the northern corridor and into the messhall. Nick walks up to the soda machine and grabs a can of coke, he turns around.

"Whata you want Sil?"

Sil:"umm a diet please"

Nick grabs a Diet coke and brings it to Sil. They sit down and begin talking...[/color]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Sil silently drained the contents of the can and crushed it between her fingers. Then she slowly turned her eyes up to face Nick's.[/i]

Nick: Well?

Sil: ....what did you want to talk about?

Nick: Now that Magneto's gone...what do you think you'll do next?

Sil: I don't know....sit back, try to relax for a change. Grieve for a time.

[i]Her eyes half shut, then opened wide again. Magneto's name still caused her pain, because it remined her of his dead son....the man she had loved. She shook her head and cleared her thoughts. It was time to move on.[/i]

Nick: How long will that be?

Sil: Not too long. I've experienced losses like these before. I just don't like it much.

Nick: Who does?

Sil: ....Saidists....dark mutants perhaps. Certainly Mystique.

[i]A half smile formed on her lips and she stood up.... Her better humor was returning at last. And with it came the flirtatiousness she had always kept nearby.[/i][/COLOR]
