RPG X-Men

[Heartless Me]

Grey skies loomed overhead from the endless amounts of pollution that had been released into the air over the last millenia. The cracked and crumbled city streets were stained red with the blood of humans and mutants alike. To the mutant known as Gravitonne the world had been reduced to entirely shades of grey. All sense of compassion had left him when his love, Aerid, had died at the hands of the Herald.

Gravitonne sat atop the half caved in roof of the chapel of a forgotten religion praying to a dead god on a cross to return to him his love, his reason for living. His words only repeating the only line "Whoever you are, Give me back my love" to the graven image.

Logan walked up to Grav and placed his hand on the young adult aliens shoulder in an attempt to comfort. Gravitonne started to weep silently.

Logan: I am sorry she had to die, Grav... I know what it's like to lose one's that you care for.

Gravitonne: Thanks Wolverine, I appreciate it but I really need to be alone right now.

Logan gave a slight nod and sighed shortly turning around and dropping through the roof into the worship area below. As he walked to the door leaving the place he was interrupted by a tall slender woman with pink hair. She shot him a short spurt of concern and he stopped suddenly. He knew Moon Chasers mutant ability, It was the same as Rogues, a woman he knew a long time ago. She looked him over and bit her lip just before speaking out.

Moon Is he ok?

Logan: He will live. The greatest pain one can know is the loss of a love. I suggest you give him some time before trying to talk to him.

With that he gave a slight nod and exited the church taking a left down the street. Moon watched him leave and sighed shortly walking over to the huge cross with edges dug into it and nimbly lifts herself up the cross and onto the roof.

Moon: Hey grav?

Gravitonne: Please, Moon. Leave me alone, I can't see another person i care about right now.

Moon:I... I don't understand.

Gravitonne: Just GO!

Moon started slightly and took a step back then lifted up into the air slightly and flew off to the south slightly. Meanwhile Gravitonne stood and simply jumped down off the roof and started to walk on in a random direction.

Yuugi walked along the empty city streets, this day the battle was won but at a cost he wished he didn't have to pay... Countless lives, Among the casualtie's was the life of his one and only. Emily was her name, Aerid to the rest of the X-Men, her ability was the control of air and wind but that did little against The herald and his minions the Furie's... He thought back to the battle as he watched helplessly as he struggled to battle off the three women of woe.

*~Flashback~*

Aerid had successfully removed all air from The Heralds direct area only to find that the herald could survive without air between the split second of her suprise and her death, The Herald had put his fist through her body killing her instantly. What happened next however was the most suprising... He turned and looked directly at Yuugi and a slow smirk crossed those black wicked lips as he proceeded to empty the man's lungs of the air it contained... the last thing Yuugi did before passing out was let out a blood curdling scream and a force of gravitational energy so strong that it instantly caused one of the furie's to implode leaving him with only 2 of the femme fatals.

~Flashback ends as he hears a loud explosion which could be heard by the rest of the group~

Yuugi: What the?!

The alien ran towards the explosion to see once more obviously a minion of The Herald seemingly killing humans left and right with charged reversed electromagnetic blasts strong enough to seperate their being into particles. His eyes narrow.

Yuugi: This Ends NOW!

Thinking quickly on the situation he knew he may need help, touching the communication device on his forarm he spoke into it his voice portraying the utmost urgency.

Yuugi: This is Gravitonne, I'm going to need back, NOW!

He runs in to battle. The man thing was a monster of a man, standing almost eight feet tall and nearly six hundred pounds of pure muscle. It was easy to see that this minion of the herald was an alien for the fact that it had four arms and reptillian eyes. It hissed at Gravitonne and tossed a magnetic blast at him but the blast was redirected by a pull of anti gravitational force bubble created around the ball forcing it upwards and over his head.

[i][b] Scene- A top Secret Military base
Location- Unknown[/b]

Dr. Reese, head medical leader at the base walks downa long hallway. He slowley turns his head towards the glass walls and looks through at the last remaining mutant's being tested on here at the base. Not looking where he is going he bumps into another doctor at the base[/i]

Dr. Morrison: " Sir, we have a situation, please come with me"

[i]Dr. Morrison grabs Dr. Reese and pulls him into a dark room with a large monitor infont of the men.[/i]

Dr. Morrison: " Please sit down"

[i]Dr. Reese sits down as another man walks into the room[/i]

Lt.Rapmund: "Sir, we have a problem. We thought we could keep him calm, but..."

[i] He points to the monitor[/i]

Lt. Rapmund:" As you can see there is a disturbance in downtown Grayton, which is exactly 10 miles from here"

Dr.Morrison:" And some how....well project X's life status is umm..."

Lt. Rapmund:" Off the charts, Its allmost as if he wants at this monster..."

Dr Reese:"How could he know whats going on? He has no mind, no soul...Only a body"

[i] The men all stand up[/i]

Dr. Reese:"May I see him...?"

Lt. Rapmund:" Sure,its just down the hallway"

[i] The men leave the briefing room and walk down the long exterior hallway until they approach a steel door. Lt. Rapmund places his hand over a green panal and the door opens. The men walk into a smoky room. There shoes step over shattered glass as they walk into the room...[/i]

Lt. Rapmund:" What's going on...Lights!"

[I] The lights in the room turn on and the men look to a knocked over cylinder glass structure. Smashed on the floor, Lt runs over to it as does The two doctors. they looks up at a large hole in the ceiling...[/i]

Dr. Reese:"Hes gone..."

[Rei]

[i]Paige and Rose hug as they decide to part ways and carry out the legacy of the Marlons.[/i]

Rose: Be safe Paige

Paige: You too.

[i]Paige then orbs out leaving Rose alone. Rose then hears something behind her and sees a shadow.[/i]

Rose: Who are you.

???:

[i]The shadow then jumps inside of Rose and posesses her.[/i]

[Raquel]

Siren crouches on the roof top, debating whether to help the mutant below... He was out matched... But Siren really didn?t have any love for the X-Men... She was a loner... No one ever had shown any concern for her... Except... She broke off the thought... He was dead... There was no way he had survived the blast that killed so many of the others... She conjured a green flame and it flickered beside her face, throwing off weird shadows across the smooth planes of her features... She sighed and stood, extinguishing the flame with a motion... She threw herself off the building, catching a ledge and letting go for a controlled drop onto the back of the creature... She drew her sai... Wreathing them in flame to make the simple steel a deadly weapon she drove it rapidly into the monsters neck, keeping her other arm locked around his throat... Suddenly, a hand that she had neglected grabbed her head and threw her into the far wall, a spider web of cracks emanating from her point of impact... She slid down the wall, loosing consciousness fast, the last thing she saw being the alien approaching her...

[Schrat]

[b][SIZE=3]Boom!![/SIZE][/b]

[i] After a long moment of silence, and a large gust of smoke. The heros stadning on the ground looked around in confusion. FInally one of them looked up into the sky to find the monster floating sbove a collapsed building.

Gravitonne:" What the"

" You wont need help"

The monster floated higher into the sky, revealing a man floating behind the creature, with his arms crossed...

Logan:"Summ...summers?"

" The name is Project X, Logan a.k.a Wolverine"

Logan:" Your supposed to be...."

" Dead, thats what I thought"

The man swings both his arms foward, and the monster above him flies down crahsing into the street, knocking several buildings from there structures. The man lands and throws off his dusty jacket. He walks slowley towards the mutants, with an evilish look on his face. When he reaches them he puts his arm out towards what looks like to be there leader...

" Hello, Gravitonne. My name is Nathan Summers, Im not really sure whats going on. All I can remember is killing myself back in the year 2000, and then waking up in some glass cylinder, miles from here"[/i]

[Rei]

[i]Paige orbs to where Gravitonne and the others are.[/i]

Paige: Is everything ok I heard a loud boom Do you guy's need help or something? Oh I'm Paige by the way.

[i]Just then everyone begins to hear loud thuds to the ground like a giants foot steps........[/i]

[Schrat]

[size=1]((umm Thats kinda a spam, try to make ur posts longerr, and since you havent meet any of the people in the game, shouldnt you introduce urself first...))[/size]

[Schrat]

[i] Nathan turns to the footsteps to see the monster walking slowley towards the mutants. Nate charges forward at the monster and pushes his arms out infront of him. A psonic blast realeases and knocks the head off of the monster. Nate stops and turns back

" Where were we?"

He walks up towards the mutants and picks up his jacket on the wya over. He looks at the collor and runs his fingers over the embroddering that reads " Project X". Nate throws the jacket over his shoulder and crosses his arms...[/i]

[Raquel]

Siren groans and sits up... She touches the back of her head gingerly and winces... She stands and looks at the others... She nods to them and turns to leave...

Siren: It's been fun... But your backup has arrived... I don't think that my being here is required...

She turned, crouching to replace the sai in her boots... She shoved her hands in her pockets and started off down the street, her mind playing ofer the events of the day...

???: Hey! Wait...

Siren turns, annoyance in her eyes

[Heartless Me]

OOC: Thanks for letting me have a go at the monster... *grumbles* he was supposed to be alot tougher to beat than that. And Rei, Everyone gives a lot of effort into their posts. I expect the same from you.. I don't like to see 3 line posts in my RPG's it brings down the visual value and pleasurable reading attraction to it.

Grav looked at Nathan and nodded slightly, holding up one finger to signify the "one moment" expression. His eyes looked back at siren with concern.

Gravitonne: Siren right? Why do you avoid us? We are on the same side, We have the same enemy. It is dangerous out there alone. The heralds minions are growing with power and numbers by the day. Why don't you join us. There is safety in numbers and we could really use your skills.

Siren looked at him, her annoyance dissappearing replacing itself with apathy and shrugs looking at the rest of the people. She blinks a few times then shoves her hands in her pockets pivoting on one heel and walking away.

Siren: I'll think about it.

Gravitonne: I'll respect your decision. Thank you and be safe. Remember you are always welcome with us.

Gravitonne turned around and nodded slightly at Nathan and Rei then looked at Logan and Magnet. He approached the two new people shaking there hands then glanced at Nathan.

Gravitonne: A psion? The only possible way you could have known my name.

Nathan:chuckling That puts it lightly.

Gravitonne raises his eyebrows then hears a slight brush of wind behind him recognizing the voice of Moon Chaser behind him as she touches ground. He turned around to hear her words more clearly.

Moon: I came as quickly as I could, Is everyone alright? looking around. Well looks like you didn't need that much back up.

Nathan:Yes, Moon Chaser. We had it under control.

Moon: How the fu....?

Gravitonne:cutting her off Nathan is Psionic, Moon.

She nods silently then looks at him. She was about to speak but Gravitonne beat her to the chase. His words came out full of strength and authority from his natural leadership.

Gravitonne: Alright people, it's not safe here. Follow me, we are returning to base...

Gravitonne levitates slightly within his anti gravity bubble expanding it to encompas each person who did not have their own ability of flight and started to fly lowly to X-Men HQ.

[Yoda]

There he stood, at the edge of the town, watching the others from the shadows. Now even X-man knew he was there, as he is not the only mutant with extreme psionic powers. Cable, son of Cyclops and Jean, stood in the alleyway, watching as Gravitonne lifted the others away towards the base. Through his left eye he saw them through the normal spectrum, but his right eye had mytated, allowing him to see them through the heat in their bodies. However, they were not the only creatures he saw through his right eye. He picked up another one, a body, quite large, trapped, no, hiding behind a wall. As soon as the others were out of sight, the mutant stepped out, and started laughing.

[B]Mutant:[/B] Hahaha, those X-men won't ever kill me!

Cable then stepped out of the alley to face the mutant.

[B]Cable:[/B] I guess not, being as I'm about to finish you.

[B]Mutant:[/B] Hahaha, you really think you can beat me, by yourself? Bring it on fool, and I shall deal you your death.

Cable extended his left arm, a staff seemingly materialised out of nowhere. The staff radiated with electricity, as did Cable, and his right eye was shining with blinding light. With one swipe of his staff, he cracked the monster across the face, sending him spiraling into, and through the nearest wall.

Cable's staff vanished as soon as it had appeared, and he stood patiently, waiting for the monster to make his move. Sudenly, out of the darkness of the building, an electromagnetic blast shot out of the hole, straight towards Cable. He made no effort to dodge, and simply raised his arms out, palms upward. His body was surrounded by a blue aura, and his right eye glowed a similar, radiating blue. The blast stopped, an inch away from his hands, and then reversed velocity, shooting straight back into the hole. There was a large explosion like a crack of pulsing thunder, and then all that could be heard were the monsters feeble gasps for air, as his lungs filled with blood, suffocating him.

Cable stepped through the hole, and stared at the monster, who was covered in cuts and scars. One of his eyes had exploded, leaving only a ***** mess in the socket. Cable drew his customised pistol from it's holster, and pointed it directly between the eyes.

[B]Cable:[/B] When you see Apocalypse in hell, be sure to tell him, Cable sent ya'.

A shot rang out, and a scorching bolt of plasma shot through the head of the monster. He went limp instantly, and his fingers twitched with the last messages of his brain. Cable turned, and left the crumbled building. It was time, once again, for him to go and visit the X-men.

[Ykonis]

Vortex stood atop a wrecked building, his home. He heard a loud boom but then saw the X-Men go by so he figured it was them. "Maybe I should try and join them," he thought aloud. He figured what the he** and decided to go for it. He saw Gravitonne's anti-gravity bubble in the distance and decided to use a white hole to catch up to him. *zzzzzPFFT* Vortex reappeared not 5 feet behind Gravitonne. Vortex decided to follow on foot until they got to the base before bugging them. Vortex then broke into a jog/sprint behind Gravitonne's anti-gravity bubble.

[Rei]

occ: Alright I'll try to stop rushing and putting more effort into my posts.

[i]Paige begins to get worried about Rose so she orbs to see that Rose is standing still were she was before Paige left.[/i]

Paige: Lava are you ok?

Lava: I'm fine but you aren't?

Paige: ?

[i]Lava throws a Lava ball at Paige who orbs out of the way to dodge it.[/i]

Paige: What is your Problem?

Lava: You are now I'll make my problem go away.

[I]Lava went into here lava form and shot a stream of lava towards Paige. Paige orbed behind her.[/I]

Paige: Do you have a death wish?

Lava: Yes that you die.

[I]Lava threw a ball of lava towards Paige who telekinetically orbed it and threw it back to her. Lava was hit and knocked to the ground. The shadow came out of her and attacked went into Paige's mouth so that it could choke her, Paige passed out.[/I]

occ: Is this ok?

[Schrat]

[b]((I want this to happen before SStrunks's post))[/b]

[i] Walking next to Gravitoone, on the way back to the X-men headquarters in Nate. He loooks at the embroddering on his jacket once more and throws it fiercly on the ground.

" I dont understand how this could be possible"

Grav.:" What?"

"I...I killed myself in the year 2000!"

Nate looks around at the ravaged city

" What year is it now?"

Grav:"2902"

" Are you kidding...but...how"

Grav: "It doesnt matter Nate, It doesnt matter how you got here, it matters why you got here"

" Well all I can remember is waking up in a glass tube, and having doctors and some kind of military personal in a dark room around me. Then I felt the disturbance of that mutant and felt like I needed to help you guys, so thats why I'm here"

Grav:" But I dont understan...."

Nate quickley presses his arm against Gravitoone's...

Grav: "Whats wrong?"[/i]

[b]((Now SSTrunk's post))[/b]

[i]"Nathan Summers...He's here...But how?"[/i]

[Ykonis]

Vortex finally got the nerve up to go look for Gravitonne. When he found him in the Conference Room he stopped.
"Hmm..Um...Gravitonne? Are you busy?" Votex asked apprehensivly.
"Not at the moment Vortex. What's the problem?" inquired Gravitonne.
"I was just wondering if you guys had room for one more mutant. I know I'm young an.." Vortex was interupted.
"Of course you can join... We need all the help we can get. I know your young too, but you can still be a great asset to the team, I just need to be alone at the moment. And let me be the first to say Welcome to the X-Men Vortex," said Gravitonne.
"ALL RIGHT!" yelled Vortex enthusiastically. Vortex jumped in the air, made a white hole and reappeared behind Grav. Vortex was a litle too excited and Gravitonne could tell. All of a sudden Nathan walked in.
"I think I'll go now so you two can talk. And I promise to train hard night and day to help the X-Men defeat the Herald," Vortex was saying as he walked out of the room.

In the Training Room Vortex was practicing his skills that he knew when all of a sudden he got an idea.
"What if I make a white hole with a 6 foot diameter and shot a 3 foot diameter black hole into it?" he thought aloud. He made the white hole with the 6 foot diameter and shot the black hole into it. All of a sudden he felt the tug of the black hole behind him. He closed both the holes and exclaimed "NO WAY! This is soo cool! I hope this isn't a fluke, he thought to himself. But when he tried it again it didn't work.
"DAMNIT!" Vortex yelled! He got so angry he almost broke the machines in the Room. Deciding to go to bed he left to ponder about what he had done only once.

[User Name]

[i]She ran for her life. Well, what was left of it anyway. The Herald had sent troops to her home to kill her. She hadn't been there, so instead they killed her husband and three year old son. Then they waited. She had been out to buy food for the family. No she wouldn't have to worry. The two imperial foot soldiers who had been waiting for her were hot on her heels. She didn't quite know how she had escaped from them at her house, all she could remember about that little incident was a blinding flash that had extruded from her very hands. It was baffeling. She would have believed to be a mutant, if she didn't know this to be completely absurd. There was no history of genetic mutations in her family. Well, not to the best of her knowledge, anyway. It would explain a lot though . . .

A shot of energy flew past her, grazing her left arm. It bled, they were firing not to stun, but to kill. She ran faster. A though formed in her head - if she closed her eyes, she could run faster, and they'd never catch her then. She was wrong! As soon as she closed her eyes, she tripped over a jagged piece of debris. She curled up in the feotal position, and prayed for a miracal.

He wasn't exactly what she had been hoping for, but he came just in time. Seeing the situation in front of him (the [b]ONLY[/b] situation he had seen since he had arrived, as a matter of fact), he lept from the top of a low disused building, landed on top of the larger soldier, and cracked its skull of the ground. Then the stranger turned to face his other foe, who was aiming a rather dangerous looking weapon in his general direction.[/i]

[b]Man:[/b] Do your worst !

[i]The soldier sneered, and pumped round after round of pure energy into the strangers face. But the stranger wasn't having any of this ! He raised his arm with amazing speed and precision, and seemed to [b]ABSORB[/b] the blasts coming his way. Now it was his time to sneer, and as the soldier gawped at him in total disbelief, he fired what appeared to be the same energy back the way it had came, tearing the soldiers body to shreads.

He turned around to face his damnsel in distress and walked over to her.[/i]

[b]Man:[/b] You can get up now.

[i]On hearing the gruff male voice, she just curled up tighter and squeezed her eyes tighter shut, as if she could dissappear in she just managed to pull herself into . . . herself. It wasn't a though that made a lot a sence, but she did it anyway. This great idea, was as successful as the last - nothing happened ! He was getting impatient.[/i]

[b]Man:[/b]I said you could get up, I'm not going to hurt you, I just want some answers!

[i]She looked at him. He was a big man, musles bulging out of his ragged clothes. He had a tatoo of the letter [b]M[/b] across his right eye. And he was black. Long ago her mother had told her not to make discriminations because of skin colour, but that was before The Herald had split humanity into sectors depending on race. Whites were locked away with other whites, blacks with blacks, Asians with Asians and of course, Muties were killed. Everybody was imprisoned in their own continental hell hole, where they laboured day in, day out for "The Glorious Herald". She stood up.[/i]

[b]Man:[/b] Good, we're getting somewhere, now, whats your name?

[b]Woman:[/b] M . . . Maria !

[b]Man:[/b] Good, now whats your last name?

[b]Maria:[/b] Lee . . . Maria Lee .

[b]Man:[/b] Excellent, now Miss Lee, I wondering if you could help me ?

[b]Maria:[/b] O . . . okay, just don't hurt me . . .

[b]Man:[/b] HAH ! I'm not gonna hurt yuo, I just want to ask you some questions, that's all !

[i]He turned around and was going to start walking when she pulled his sleeve. He turned back to her.[/i]

[b]Man:[/b] Yes?

[b]Maria:[/b] It's just . . . who are you?

[b]Man:[/b] People tend to call me . . .

[color=royal blue]Logan sniffed the air, having stayed behind Gravitonne and the others. he turned and began to head for wherever that scent was coming from. That scent was familiar, even though it had been about two-thousand years since he ha last smelled it. the scent was that of a person he could love. He remembered Rogue, and remembered, of course, his wife, Selene Righta Wolvenis. He snapped back as he remembered his last name, Wolvenis. He smiled, then he saw Siren. The smell was strong near her. He wondered about her as he unsheathed his claws. It couldn't be her...it just couldn't be. He'd sworn not to fall in love again....but Siren....[/color]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OOC:Sorry I'm late. Family problems.

[Circ]

[i]OOC: I'm sorry, but count me out. I'm deleting my post at that right moment. I would have loved to play this, but it just looks like everyone post without looking at what the other wrote. If someone's interested, just take over my caracter. I don't care.[/i]

[Raquel]

Alright... See you later than...

IC:

Siren stood on the roof of a building, the wind tugging playfully at her hair... She watched as the X-Men returned to their base... She sighed... She diden't want to, but prehaps joining them would be the best thing to do for now... She quickly made her way to the primiter of the base and circled it... Siren had long known of it's location, and had doen backround checks on all the members... She crouched and watched silently... She was about to move when she felt somthing press into her back, somthing sharp...

OOC: Sorry about the shortness....

[Heartless Me]

OOC: Ykonis, just a note.. he's not very happy or excited right now, his only love just died. Yes he would have invited him to join but it would not have been that easy, and please try to downpower your character a little... being able to produce CONTROLLED black holes is a little TOO much. Thanks.

Also note, I shall post after Schratn9 puts up one more post.

[Ykonis]

OOC: ok sorry i was trying to think of something good in 15 minutes...i was in school but ill fix that
IC: Vortex had thought the black holes were controlled but found out from a bad expierience that he was wrong. A little TOO wrong. When he tried practicing it he almost died. He figured it was a fluke...but it still pissed him off. As he began his nightly work out he heard a noise near the practice door. When he opened it up he discovered nothing but an empty bottle with a note inside. It was to Nate so he ran to the conference room and found Nate inside. Vortex handed him the bottle and said "I found this outside the Practice Room wiht your name on it."
"OK. Thanks, but can I read this alone?" Nate asked.
"Yea sorry to interupt."
With that said Vortex went back to the Practice Room an tried to figure out how to control the black hole move until the crack of dawn...
OOC: an yea i should have thought about the black hole thing before i posted it...Once again, sorry

[Talon]

[color=royal blue][i]Wolverine noticed that Siren was intently watching him, so he sheathed his claws after jumping up and slashing the defense mechanism that was pressing into her back. He smiled grimly, remembering the impossible love between himself and Rogue. Why did things feel so similar, aside from the impossible, when he was near her. He shook those feelings off and ran into a cave nearby, smelling a rotting scent, yet it was vaguely familiar. Inside, he found something he could never have expected. Sabretooth cubs, thousands of them, surrounding the rotted corpse of the eons-dead Sabretooth...this wasn't good![/color][/i]

Cable walked on through the woods, taking his time as he walked towards the X-mansion. He had already seen the man hiding behind the tree with his right eye, picking up his heat signal. But, he still walked on, uncaring. He didn't even reach for his gun, as the mugger jumped out of the trees, pointing his pistol straight at Cable's face. The mugger was sneering proudly at his accomplishment.

[B]Mugger:[/B] Okay man, this is how its gonna be, you hand over all your money, or maybe those nice lookin' guns, and you won't get hurt.

Cable stared blankly at the man, who's sneer widened.

[B]Cable:[/B] Your about two seconds away from wearing that smile across your áss.

The mugger's sneer vanished, his face filled with anger, fear and shock.

[B]Mugger:[/B] Oh, ya' think so wise guy?

Within a split second, Cable's pistol was pointed square between the muggers eyes.

[B]Cable:[/B] Yeah, I do.

The mugger was trembling, staring down the barrel of Cable's impressive pistol. The mugger píssed himself, urine running down his trouser legs.

[B]Mugger:[/B] Okay man, I... I'm sorry, just let me go, please!

[B]Cable:[/B] Your gun, hand it over.

[B]Mugger:[/B] Sure... just, just don't hurt me!

Cable snatched the pistol from the mugger's outstretched hand, but kept his pistol locked in place.

[B]Mugger:[/B] Okay man, now let me go, like you said.

[B]Cable:[/B] Sure. You've got five seconds.

[B]Mugger:[/B] W-what? Hey, what 're you doin'?

[B]Cable:[/B] 1... 2.

The mugger swallowed hard, then turned and started running for his life. Cable shook his head, and tossed the muggers pistol away. He holstered his own pistol, and carried on walking towards the X-mansion.

[Heartless Me]

Nate looked at the note and his eyes narrowed excusing himself from Gravitonne to take care of his own ordeals for now. Gravitonne bit him farewell then sat down in front of the computer accessing the cerebro program and starting to input new data about The Herald.

Gravitonne: March 13, 2902. Aerid is added to the list of those precious mutant lives taken by the terrorism of The Herald. During the battle she had removed all the air from his area, as per her mutant ability only to find out that he had the power to breathe without air. He then used a speed somehow beyond a supernatural level to bring himself to her location and ending her life by running her through with his fist. starting to tear up as he speaks. Just after, he turned to me and somehow used her mutant power against me, I suspect he has an ability to steal the powers of those he kills. If so than The Herald will be much more difficult than we had ever imagined.... End Log.

Gravitonne Stood from the conference room and walked slowly outside, leaning against the wall and watching the sky as if waiting for something or someone.

After a short time he saw something in the distance down the path, A tall man with white hair and part of his face was cybertronic. He blinked a few times and raised an eyebrow at this person whom he never seen before but Awaited his arrival patiently.

[Schrat]

[i]Nate sat own in the dark room holding a bottle given to him by the mutant Vortex. He pulled off the cap but it wouldnt budge so Nate crashed the botle on the floor. Glass shattered all over, but underneigth was a single peice of paper. He picked it up and turned it over. Telekineticly, Nate turned on the lights to find that the peice of paper had a single X written on it. He throught down the peice of paper and walked out of the room. As he got into the hallway he felt something strange, a part of him...
