X-Men: Darkest Days

[Alex Humva]

IC [Luz/Alameda]

 

"You taunt me?" The thunderbird didn't know if she should be amused or annoyed. "What is it today with you gifted mortals? First an immortal westerner attempts to goad me into battle, and now you mock my position as bringer of the storms? Do you have any idea of who you are speaking too? Foxes do not care for titles or respect, but surely you must realize who you are speaking and acting so idly with."

OOC: the plane is in the air, no way she can go inside.

[Light]

IC: Robin shrugged. "Our friend the thunderbird, I expect. Safest place is indoors."

[Let's Henshin!]

IC: Dante And even inside I can still hear all that d*** racket. Not bothering to lie down in the booth he had found, Dante first walked right back to door and stuck his head outside. "Hey! Big Bird! Can you keep down the noise please, I'm trying to get some bloody sleep. Take this argument somewhere else please, decide later who's more sparky or something, I don't care. Now let me sleep." The last word was drowned out by another yawn. Satisfied that big bird might shut up now, Dante walked back inside and collapsed on one of the booths, maybe he could finally get some shut eye. This all just really sucks.

[Zulu Yankee Kilo Echo]

IC: DemonDemon's expression hardened."Frankly, I don't give a **** who you are," he said, "I don't care about the weather, and frankly, you haven't done anything but tick me off at this point. Now, I'm going to ask you kindly to get your storm the **** out of the way so I can move on."

IC: Dante

 

And once again... Dante's hadn't been closed for a second when even more racket occured. Repeating the same trek to the door and sticking his head out, Dante once more yelled out, this time towards Demon, "Yo Sparky, that goes for you too, all of you just shut up so I can get some shut eye. Is that too much to ask, take this sparkfest somewhere else would yah." With that Dante once more walked back to his booth and collapsed.

 

Why does the world hate me.

[Alex Humva]

IC [Luz/Alameda]

 

"I don't know if I should end your existence here and now mortal." The thunderbird made the closest expression a bird could to a raised eyebrow. "Surely no one could be this bold, this stupid. Some sort of trickery must be at work. What is your game here gifted mortal?"

[Krayzikk]

IC:As Dante was walking back to his booth, a voice rang out from the door addressing him. "Truly, you need to be quiet. You are only making this worse."That said, Alistair quietly stepped past Ashley, and outside. Calmly, he slowly began to move toward the quarreling lightning users.

[Let's Henshin!]

IC: Dante

 

And they're still creating that darn racket, ah screw it I don't even care anymore. This all just sucks. And before anyone knew it, Dante had his arm over his eyes to block out the light, and his coat pulled over his body like a blanket. He was gonna get some shut eye one way or another, and of course it was only a matter of a minute or so before Dante was fast asleep. Thankfully for the customers he didn't snore.

 

Much.

 

In his efforts to sleep, Dante didn't even hear the voice yelling at him, nor did he care.

OOC:

 

Jeez.

 

Since I've pretty much lost track of what happened to this game over the course of the day, and since I have a couple Super Bowl parties to play musical chairs with tonight, I'm probably not gonna be truly around until at least tomorrow. Constructman, PM me a link with your profile or something and then I'll check it out when I get a chance so it doesn't look like you're being ignored or anything.

 

LET'S GO NINERSSS~

OOC: The Raven's are going to win. How do I know? Because someone traveled back in time to tell me.

 

IC:

 

"We could try scaring them off," He suggested, "Wouldn't be too hard with a couple of shapeshifters on your side."

[Flex Lord Splash]

OOC: Wonder how this will go down since there is another Brotherhood member inside the Starbucks along with Demon’

 

Yo-Yo man looks okay to me approval (1).

 

IC: Nicole (Starbucks)

 

She nodded, “Yeah,” she said as she watched the storm raging outside. She walked over to Robin and buried her head in his chest.

[Light]

IC: Robin half grinned at this unexpected development, but he just put his arms around her.

[sunflower]

IC: Jesika

 

She heard someone unbluckle the straps to their seat, and then footsteps coming closer... A heard dropped down into view, actually someone who Jesika recognised. She couldn't help herself, and a grin spread across her face. Nathan was there a second later, saying somethin gabout how it was too dangerous or something. In an instant, Jesika shot up from her hiding place, and gave Nathan a hug. Or his legs a hug, given that she was a bit smaller than he was.

 

"I didn't want to be left behind!" She insisted, staring up at him.

[25K Now!]

IC: Zhu Xuan

 

Meanwhile, Xuan was attempting to explain to the police that the others weren't doing anything criminal, and they'd be perfectly fine arresting just him.

[Flex Lord Splash]

IC: Feral, Darkfang, Songbird (Blackbird)

 

John swore softly, this was no place for Jessika. Especially when the X-Men had just been discussing if it was right to kill the terrorists or not. He looked at Nathan, "She's determined, but this is far from good. We could literally be flying into a death-trap."

 

"I could teleport her home," Jeremy said. "Wouldn't take more then just a few seconds probably." he offered.

 

"I think we are close, all I see is blackness down there and lots of fires." Ash reported to the people on board. "Its too late for us to turn back and take her home now."

 

IC: Harbinger (Las Vegas)

 

I could see the lights of a plane in the sky now. It seemed the X-Men were coming, just as I'd predicted. Perfect, now let's spring one of my little surprises for them. In this case it was six surprises actually. I turned around to my six of my men who each were kneeling down with a large heat-seeking rocket-launcher slung over their shoulders. They each had night-vision goggles as well to help them see their target. I figured at least one of the rockets would hit.

 

"Light them up like Christmas," I said as I exhaled a cloud of smoke. "Let's give the X-Men the landing they deserve." his men nodded and then fired. The air was filled with a THUM sound as the rockets were propelled from the weapons, flying towards the Blackbird.

 

IC: Sonbird, Mimic, Triblade, Feral (Blackbird)

 

"Oh my god..." Ashlynn said as suddenly the rockets appeared on her screen. She quickly rolled the Blackbird to the left before opening fire with its weapon systems, the chain gun activating as it cut into two of the rockets and turned them into plumes of flame in midair. As the other four rockets raced towards the Blackbird Ashlynn brought the plane into a dive, the rockets now following them towards the ground. Using the rear-guns she fired, blowing away another two rockets.

 

"Don't worry guys, I've got this." She aimed and fired at the last two rockets, blowing away one but suddenly she had to pull up before they got too close to the ground. She pulled up violently sending them back up into the air. Time seemed to slow as beads of sweat fell from Ash's brow. Then something exploded. The whole Blackbird shook violently as if it been hit by a truck. Ashlynn screamed as she stared at the screen. It showed the right wing flashing red, a direct hit. The entire wing had been blown off. Suddenly alarms began to blare inside the Blackbird as the lights began to flash red.

 

"We're going down, we're going down!" she yelled as the ship tumbled through the air towards the ground far below. "I have to shut the hatch!" she yelled knowing Alec had opened it earlier. She pressed the button closing the hatch; hopefully before anyone flew out of the ship.

 

"Alright everyone calm down!" Matt yelled as the ship fell through the air. "Ash is trained for this sort of thing, we will be okay!"

 

Christine held her breath as the ship tumbled through the air. Heights had never been her thing. "Ah **** it." she said. She turned to look at Darkfang and saw it seemed he'd hit his head in the explosion, he was still next to her in his seat. She closed her eyes and prayed to whoever was out there that they would all make it out alive.

 

Since John had been out of his seat he was currently being thrown around the inside of the Blackbird like a rag-doll. "Grab Jessika and get yourself into a seat NOW!" he yelled as he smashed into the wall. The cabin was full of smoke from the burning wing now, and red lights were flashing.

IC: JordanIn a moment, the plane's descent slowed to a near stop. Jordan stood, his eyes shut and his hands firmly clutching the seats. He had never created a gravity field quite this large before, and it was taking its toll on him.

[Advent Child]

IC: Nero simply shook his head as the plane went nuts, alarms blaring to warn everyone of the unquestionably bad damage to the structural integrity. "Yep, this seems about right. Ain't no reason we should be having it all run smoothly, yeah?" He mentioned dryly while glancing over all of the locks on his wheelchair to ensure it was secure.

[AuRon the champion]

IC:

 

Chris never liked flying. The first time he'd been in the blackbird, he'd had a bumpy ride.

 

There wasn't much different between these ride and the last. He'd even forgotten how to properly buckle up, and had merely tied the belts together around him to avoid being thrown about.

[Flex Lord Splash]

OOC: Hey Zyke he really shouldn't be able to stop the plane at all, not when you consider the mass and speed of the plane. He can create a field of gravity, but the plane is falling so fast it probably keep on going right through.

[Constructelf]

IC Hei"Whoa!" Kristy shouted, grabbing onto the back of the seat in front of her. "Shouldn't we be enacting emergancy evac protocol or something?!" she yelled.IC SpartanSpartan and his men continued to fight their way through the feather storm, oblivious to the newcomer in their midst.IC ForeshadowWalking along, Peter saw a random dude (Thunderbolt) sitting on a bench. Figuring that he could use somebody to talk to, he sat down beside him "What's up?" he asked, trying to start a conversation.IC Knower"Now that mess is over, what did we miss?" I said, turning on my cell phone. "If there indeed was a larger group behind this," I continued, not sure if anybody was listening to me, "Then they could have used this as an opportunity to cause chaos somewhere else."

[Zulu Yankee Kilo Echo]

IC: Despite Jordan's best efforts, the plane kept falling.OOC: This'll probably be my last post for today.

[Advent Child]

OOC: Actually, that would be entirely dependent on whether or not the field was created as a cushion in front of the plane, or maintained as a field around it. Maintained as a field, the plane wouldn't stop, but it would certainly slow down, or (at the very least) it wouldn't fall, but keep flying forward. It's not like this is telekinesis or anything, this is the altering of the force that's even allowing the plane to fall in the first place. This is gravity.

Edited February 3, 2013 by .:Advent Aeternale:.

[Flex Lord Splash]

OOC: It would still take an incredible amount of energy to stop the plane like this, and to hold it. Enough to probably kill him if he continued.

Lynae grabbed the boy's hand, still walking clumsily, and escorted him into a dark back alley. Once she knew that they were out of sight, she pushed him against the wall and pressed her plump lips against his. She ran her hands over his shoulders as they kissed. She needed to get him to believe everything was okay, that nothing was going to happen.

The young man grunted as he was shoved against the wall and quickly gained some sense. "Hey--" His protestations were quickly muffled by the vampire's lips. And there they were for a moment. When Lynae finally removed her lips from his, he was relaxed, eager for more. "You know," the boy said in a hushed but excited tone, "I think I can die happy now..."

 

 

The shifter [Nick] glanced over the edge, his eyes switching to thermal once more as the power went out. "Looks like they've pulled the plugs on the lights. Only way they'll win if the X-Men are really on the way."

Armin nodded. "The heroes have their work cut out for them for sure," he said.

 

"Light them up like Christmas," the villain could be heard saying down below as he exhaled a cloud of smoke. "Let's give the X-Men the landing they deserve."

 

Armin watched the ominous scene as a few of the assassins raised their launchers into the air and fired. Their orange wakes flew up into the nighttime air towards the fleeting visage of an aeroplane. "Well then, either these people are very territorial of their airspace or they think that's the X-Men. ... Are they?" Armin mused and milled over the proposition. "I think yes. But I doubt they can be brought down with a few rockets."

[Advent Child]

OOC: I agree that it would take considerable energy to slow/stop the plane. But to keep it there? That's just a matter of maintaining an area with no gravity. Once the plane is slowed, it will be floating in the area of no gravity. It's not like he's holding up the plane directly. He's changing the laws of physics around it with one of the more basic uses of his power.

 

IC: Nero shouted over the blaring alarms and various other sounds (which came across nice and clear due to his powers) "So what's our plan now?!"

[Constructelf]

IC Hei"I could make a field of shadow around the casino!" Kristy shouted. "It could buy us time if they can't see us!"

IC: Novocain (Hellfire Labs)

 

Novocain pulled out his phone and dialed a number he hadn’t called in a long time. It was the number of Armin.

 

“Are you there old friend?” Novocain said into the phone. “I know it’s been a while, I’m actually with Hellfire now, long story. Anyway do you mind giving me a lift to Las Vegas? There is a certain X-Man who I’d just love to murder.”

 

IC: Songbird (Blackbird)

 

"The plan is brace yourselves for impact, I'm going to try to land this thing the best I can." she said.

[Advent Child]

IC: "Man, I wish sound made a good cushion..." Nero complained miserably. Idly, he wondered if his new healing factor would work well enough while he was in human form...

[EmperorWhenua]

Ic: Armin's phone vibrated softly in his vest pocket and he irritably pulled it out -- who the dickens would be calling him on his private number now?

 

Blocked ID.

 

Armin looked up at the sky to see the sparks and flames from the aeroplane as it contrasted with the black canvas. "Hallo," he said curtly.

 

“Are you there old friend?” a voice could be heard. “I know it’s been a while. I’m actually with Hellfire now -- long story. Anyway, do you mind giving me a lift to Las Vegas? There is a certain X-Man who I’d just love to murder.”

 

The bloody gametophyte, what? Who did this caller think he was? Armin was busy and not willing to waste more energy on yet another ripping of space. "I don't know you."

 

Bleep.

 

He slid the phone back into his pocket and shook his head. "Telemarketers," he decried.

[Alex Humva]

IC [Luz/Alameda]

 

"Then you are simply a fool." Luz's eyes flickered with primal anger as she extended her wings, the storm being fiercer than ever. "Allow me to show you why taunting a servant of the Great Spirit is ill advised."

 

With a screech that carried for miles, lightning began to crash down from the clouds, directly into the thunderbird. The stench of ozone filled the air, while observers looked on in awe, fear, and boredom. This did nothing practical, of course; it was simply a display of power, a sort of warning before the inevitable murder. It definitely worked to get the mortals to begin dispersing, though the police to their credit took up positions behind their vehicles and started to take aim. This didn't concern Luz though, who directed her gaze directly at Demon and simply blinked.

 

Demon suddenly found himself the center of a dozen some lightning bolts, cascading down to fry every cell in his body.,

"Grab Jessika and get yourself into a seat NOW!" John yelled.

 

"I got her." Will shouted as he removed his seat belt, grabbed Jessika, and faded into the spirit plane.

"God d*** it!" Dante yelled, as he awoke thanks to the racket coming from outside. Why, why, does this all have to suck so much. This just bloody sucks. Jerking up he glared straight at the door, before rubbing his temple. "Why can't a guys just got some bloody sleep. Is that too much to ask, is it." He groaned.

IC:

 

That's enough.

The majority of the molts were blocked and absorbed by a car that somehow found its way between them. Alistair stepped forward, eying both Luz and Demon sternly, even as something seemed to flicker from existence behind his back. "You should learn the value of democracy, mutant. It would serve you well.""Ms. Parker. I would implore you to to either let this be, or move somewhere that civilians will not be harmed."OOC: Before anyone says anything, I do have an explanation for how it was done. If need be, i can recount it here.

[Flex Lord Splash]

IC: Novocain (Hellfire Labs)

 

“How strange,” he said after he heard the voice on the other line. He dialed another instead. “Ben?” he demanded over the phone. He’d try one other method and if it failed he would then simply borrow a Hellfire helicopter to get himself there.

IC: Dante

 

And that guys just begging to get killed. Dante noted as he saw Alistair walked between them. I should probably go help, this just sucks. Walking out the door, Dante joined Alistair's side, "Yeah I'm with messenger boy here, can you all just please stop this racket. Some people need their naps. So yeah, just, shut up." I'm really sick of all this.

[Eevee]

IC: Lynae"My dear boy...I'm not going to kill you." She said with a wicked smile, weaving her glamor. "I am going to have a little snack..." Her white fangs now protruded from her plump lips before she sunk them into the boy's neck. She grinned as she cut one of the veins, the sweet blood flowing into her lips. She drunk for a minute, realizing that the boy was dangerously pale before stopping. She then licked the bite, sealing the wound."Now," Lynae began, "you are going to sit her for a few moments and regain your strength. Then you are going to go out to your buddies and tell them I performed some vulgar act, in which you will then treat them to drinks on you. Got it?"
