Friends of Humanity Rally (open)

[jamie]

Jamie was strugleing to carry Night she was sure she hadn’t made it far and the gas was not helping at all just making it hard to breath and see.

Jamie was about to call for some help when a large blue thing came up and asked if she was o.k, Jamie jumped could this get any odder there was a large blue person in front of her o also did she look o.k she was a frail woman carrying over 200 pounds after someone try’d to choke her to death, her camera had been rip to shreds, and she was worried if Night was going to make it, he was her friend she couldn’t leave him behind in this hell hole.

Jamie only answered with a small cough that may of sounded like a yes she wasn’t dead so she was better off then some people in the room. But when he tried to take him away form her Jamie’s eyes narrowed she didn’t know this man how was she sub post to trust him with Night, Night needed to go to a doctor, She narrowed her eyes her eyes a little watery form the gas still taught it seemed that something in the room was getting rid of it her voice was horse as she spoke griping on to Night almost pulling him on top of her to make it clear that the blue man was not taking him “this is my friend how do I know I can trust you, You could work with the other mutant with claws”

[rhyme]

Artemis jumped down from the rooftop landing on a small cushion of sonic vibrations in the air. Once he landed he cloaked his sounds and the only thing that could be heard was the normal background sounds of the fighting next to them.

"Command, this is Alpha Squadron leader, Alpha team is down, I repeat Alpha team is down requesting back up”

Interesting Artemis thought as he walked toward the man from behind.

He then sent his arms flying outward and some purple ribbons came out of his sleeves once more. They wrapped around the Alpha Squadron Leader and any of the personal. The ribbons wrapped right around their necks and flew high into the air taking the men with them. It was with such speed they didn’t even have time to suffocate their necks being snapped.

He then nonchalantly walked up and took the Alpha Squadron Leader’s walkie talkie. He wouldn’t need it anymore. He coughed to rearrange his vocal chords to make the correct sound he needed. It would be a very rough impersonation with such a limited amount of speech heard so he would add some static to the line.

“Commander! The mutants, they have disarmed me. I need to be re-armed quickly to aid the reinforcements. Where is the command center?!”

He grinned evilly when the Commander easily gave away the position of the van. It was surrounded by people. He shot a ribbon from his arm which pulled himself up to the building next door that was still in once piece. He then concentrated on his legs and his ribbons curled around it. They would push his limbs to their maximum and he took off across the rooftops at 15 mph. He quickly made it to the van. He jumped from the nearest building and did a flip landing on the van with sonic blast knocking all the rioters and police on their backs.

“Knock knock!” Artemis said banging on the van. He found the commander on the side of the van looking up at him with shock and anger.

“Hello Commander.” He said smirking.

“You bastard!” the commander replied back reaching for a gun at his side.

Right before the commander reached it he yelled out in pain. A kunai was in his hand pinning it to the ground beneath him just inches away from his mutant suppressing pistol. He reached over with his other hand and got that one pinned into his abdomen.


“Ha, soon your little friends will be nothing but char and ash. Even I can’t stop the bombs about to drop. And you won’t get past all these people to get back if all you can do is throw these damned knives.” The commander gloated as the rumble of jets got louder.

“Tisk tisk such aggression.” Artemis taunted as he sauntered over to the van. When he reached the opening he heard the clicking of multiple pistols and assault rifles getting ready to fire on him. He smiled sweetly before blowing gently as the metal in the guns quickly rusted and fell apart in their hands.

He did a come closer gesture and the walkie talkie in the van flew into his hand.

“Commander,” he said pausing for dramatic effect. “Never doubt the power of the Brotherhood.” He said using the Commander’s voice.

The commander’s smile left as he struggled to get up. The police were already up and drawing their weapons on Artemis. Artemis did a two finger salute before jumping with a sonic boom. The commander and the men in the van as well as most of the people around the van died from the force of the boom at close range. Artemis landed on the top of a building and held up the walkie talkie. He got a much better range of words from the commander so this should work.

“Air command we need a change of target, I repeat change of target. The mutant force has retreated south one block and is currently taking up residency in a building on the corner of the block. They are attacking anyone that approaches.” Artemis said into the walkie talkie using the commander’s voice.

“Rodger” he heard back. “Beta and Delta are already on route and are in radio silence. They cannot be contacted at this time.”

“Don’t worry I’ll direct them when they get here.” Artemis said again using the commander’s voice before throwing the walkie talkie off the building where it got destroyed on impact.

Artemis didn’t care if the more people showed up to the slaughter. He didn’t really even care that a bomb was dropping, but why toss a bomb at a building that is already about to get destroyed, much more fun for something else to get bombed. He wasn’t sure what was on the corner but he hoped it was something entertaining like a fireworks store.

[Hank McCoy]

Beast frowned as Jaime refused his help. He still held his hands outward to take Night from her. She could see then that he had no weaponry or intentions to harm him or her. Thankfully the tear gas had been taken care of by Tari in the meantime.

"I would like to help you and your friend. I have nothing to do with the clawed one." Of course he knew who Victor Creed was but he didn't want to make any sort of familiarity reference in this touchy situation.

"I am a doctor miss." Well..he wasn't technically a medical doctor...but close enough. "I can help your friend if you will let me." A frown once again came across his face as his heightened hearing picked up the sound of the jets heading towards them. It seemed like they were going to have more to worry about than just Sabretooth on a rampage. "And I would like to help you as well. Please let me carry him to safety where I may tend his wounds. You are more than welcome to accompany us. This area is going to get worse before it gets better I am afraid. I would not be a gentleman if I allowed you to stay here in such a dangerous place." He was worried for Night's wounds. He was bleeding quite a bit and if she didn't let him help, it was a possibility he wouldn't need help anymore...

[Freya Elensar Ashe]

Freya let out a sigh as the over eager teenager raced off, barely even able to blurt his name out before he was gone. Teenagers these days. Really, she’d been in situations ten times worse than this before! It was only a warm up to her. With another sigh, she jogged after him, in no real rush to catch him, but at the same time not willing to let him out of her sights. After his little display though, she crept up behind him, grabbed him by the neck of his shirt, and yanked him back. ”You’re making yourself a bigger target. Why not leave this to the adults?” With out another word, she pushed him towards the slightly younger than her man this ‘Luke’ had just handed a weapon copy to.

Freya turned and wandered off, looking for her next entertainment. Specifically? Victor Creed. ”Here, kitty kitty kitty!” It took a little work to find him in the rubble, but finally, she spotted him, obviously on the hunt for… something. ”Looking for some fun? Why not play with someone a bit more at your level? I can’t imagine you’re having that much fun massacring the masses!” She yelled, not caring who heard her, which would probably be every mutant in the building.

[tari]

An ice shield crystallized immediately to protect Tari and the woman she saved, as more humans shot at them. Her blue gaze rested on them and they were flash-frozen in a mini glacier. But as soon as she turned her attention away, the ice shattered into millions of pieces, leaving no trace of the humans that were frozen before. They had literally been erased from existence. The woman screamed and ran away from the horror of Tari’s power.

When she heard Freya’s taunting voice, Tari’s first thought was, Who is kitty? Well…must be a nickname for an enemy that Freya had fought before, she guessed. She wondered if Freya wanted to fight this person on her own or if she would mind Tari’s interference?

Oh well. Tari ran toward where she heard her sister’s voice and gave a sly smirk that you don’t see very often. “Need any help, souer?” Her eyes were alight from the heat of battle, making her more alive than she usually was. Tari, in the past, had been called cold-hearted monster, showing no emotion when she killed her enemies.

"So, who's le chat? Friend of yours, souer?"

[zaintison]

Luke was Yanked up and pushed towards his brother, the scary fire girl told him he was just making himself a bigger target like i can just sit in the corner and let people get hurt. I need to protect my brother as well and his crazy girlfriend just killed all those cops... I'm not one to believe in killing, but I just killed four people not that the kitty man wouldn't have killed him anyway, but I;ll do it for my brother and I still have more to accomplish before I can allow myself to die... What was that girls problem... now's not the time for this.

Luke heard a loud explosion that he could see through a hole in the wall, a local church hosting it's Bingo night was entirely destroyed. First the church was exploded then it burst into flames. It was horrifying, Luke had to put forth all his energy to not drop to his knees and cry eyes full of tears. Luke didn't want to be involved in any blood shed. H-H-How could this happen no... ther-there's no way, I-Ive gotta stay strong when tragedy strikes that's when you need to be the strongest.

He tried to keep himself from rushing outside where he could see the corpses of the police murdered by his brother's girlfriend, drawing him in more horror.

The rioting group for the mutants in the back had gotten out of control You could hear one especially out of control individual who looked like he just got out of the church yelling WHERE IS YOUR BINGO NOW BI***ES. The others in the protesting group including the mutants were quick to tear him up and throw him to the remains of the police Luke heard another bang he couldn't watch any longer. Luke's Instincts came forth he disregarded most of his emotion and mob mentality.

Luke strapped the gun over his shoulder he didn't need it anymore. After all everyone was dead except kitty man and guitar man. Guitar man was long gone. His brother's gun disappearing to as a side effect he wouldn't need it either. Luke said to his brother Let's go.

[James Adler]

The gun was gone...He only had it for a moment, but in that moment things were different. Action prevailed, adrenline surged, and life was...intense...Now that the gun was gone, reality had returned, and James fond himself examineing the full caranage that they had wrought.

Dead bodies and gore were strewn about the room, along with half a foot of water. right James turned his head toward one of the many holes that lead to the outside. Dead police officers and destroyed cop cars lay before him as far as he could see. I told Alice not to hold back... James thought as he stared blankly onward she did good....I guess. Luke was right, they should get out of here, before things got any worse.

"Right, lets get out of here...Alice lets go get something to eat." James waded through the polluted waters, and just as he reached the edge of the room The screech of a pair of jets echoed through the sky, dropping a volley of bombs behind them...the shockwave of the explosion tiping the already incredibly unstable building...
___________________________________________

Beta and Delta had arrived...their priority was to control the chaos that was rapidly growing in the heart of the city. With their expertise they quickly contained the mob rampaging through the city. One way or another...every mutant was taken care of...very few of them made their way to a concentration camp.

[Victor Creed]

Muscles twitched as the man's massive body heaved for air. Was there something wrong with his lungs? Perhaps. But such a thing wasn't going to stop him while he searched for new prey. A bloodlust ravaged Victor's mind and soul. It was something that wouldn't stop until his body would give out on him. At the rate he was going now, and without the immediate use of his powers, that wouldn't be too long from now.

The explosions outside of the building were distracting. As was all the noise outside. It drew him towards it like a crocodile seeking the source of splashing water. Slipping through one of the many holes the building had, he saw the large crowd that lingered outside. So many were already dead and others were scattering for their lives.

Another explosion rocked the city block as the church down the street exploded. Victor took a moment to attempt to chuck a car at the passing bomber plane, unfortunately his superior strength was no longer at his command. He was able to lift the car slightly, but nothing like the ease he would normally have. His wounds were also starting to slowly heal. The effects of the laser seeming to finally start wearing off. Victor was starting to feel a lot better now that the internal injuries were weaving themselves back together. It gave him a new burst of energy to move towards the army that headed their way.

And an army it was. At least twenty men were marching in formation towards the FoH headquarters. They were dressed like the first batch but these men were different. They had thicker suits and armor of sorts and quite the arsenal of weaponry with them. That didn't matter to him. They could have a tank for all he cared. He walked forward to face them, standing in front of Alice, probably ten or so feet away. She had managed to cause quite a bit of chaos all on her own. She was a dangerous person, one that really surprised him that the mansion could contain her. A wicked grin crossing his face as he waited for the men to get into range. This was going to be fun.

The first small batch of the squad had moved in closer. The three men started shooting as soon as they were in range. This meant that Alice was facing a firing squad. At least until Creed came by. Even with their massively thicker armor compared to the other team, it was no match for his adamantium claws. Sliced open like a watermelon the men were either dead or wailing in pain on the ground.

Creed looked down at his feet. Grenade. The weapon exploded beneath him a moment later, launching him backward and into the FoH headquarters building once more. Once he skidded to a halt, Victor made it back to his feet with a growl. Someone was going to pay for that.

Victor finally noticed the Firefly then. She made it a point to gain his attention and his attention she recieved. Though he made no certain acknowledgement of Tari, he rushed to Freya. A burst of speed heading him straight for her with claws outstretched. He was far less calculating than he had been before, the primality in his actions were obvious.

Meanwhile what was left of the building around and above them was creaking. The loud threatening noise hinted towards the impending collaspe of that building in minutes.

[alice]

Alice was staring blankly out the hole, as if waiting for the police to get back up so she could just bling them around like rag dolls again. Sadly, or thankfully, none did. If any were alive, they were smart enough not to get up. Well, at least not in her line of sight. A few did manage to survive, she just couldn't see them moving.

She only looked away from the destruction when James spoke, fixing him with that same, bare expression. She was just about to follow... When she spotted the man, Sabretooth. He'd positioned himself a small ways in front of her, his back to her. Instantly, she felt the urge to attack him, like any predator would, but seeing his opponents made her stop.

Her head tilted a little as he actually, sort of, defended her from the firing squad. He probably didn't realize it, but she had. Interesting...

The explosion made her yelp, eyes watering and temporarily blinded from the flash. Rubbing them, she stumbled towards where she knew James. "James, I don't like it here anymore." She wanted to go, now. And there was no arguing with her when she'd made up her mind. The girl really didn't want to go blind, which seemed to be everyone's goal in her mind...

She was completely oblivious to the approaching jets and instability of the room.

[jamie]

Jamie looked at the blue man watching to see he’s reaction Jamie new she didn’t have the power to get night out of hear by herself but could she trust this thing to take him out. He said he was a doctor but was he really a doctor and was he going to help hear, she fought with herself for a bit tell she herd some explosions outside again she handed Night to the Large blue and harry she might add man.

She looked around quickly spotting her bag witch she new had her recorder in it, there was still something that showed what went down hear tonight besides word of mouth. “I’ll be right back, Don’t you take off with out me I got to get my bag” She ran over real quick being as careful as she could grabed her bag and ran back to the blue man and night it was lest then a minute and she didn’t think a minute for her to grab her bag was going to hurt anyone “O.k lead the way out of hear”

She held her bag to her chest and fallowed the blue man who had Night out of the building she hoped that they just get out before things got to much worst for them.

[rhyme]

Artemis made it back to the original building as easily as he got there. He threw a ribbon up and out of the street and onto the rooftops. He made his way at a more leisurely pace now that his work was done. He smiled as he saw the jets fly over and hit a church. It wasn’t a fireworks store but it would cause some negative backlash for the government for hitting a civilian target.

He swung through a third floor window and crouched when he felt the building shift a bit from his impact. It was getting close to falling down. He went to a corner and leaned against focusing on the building and the adjacent ones. When he did he noticed Freya was down there. Perfect, Creed would keep her busy while he worked his magic.

He focused on the buildings all around him. He could stretch his sphere of control to hit about four other buildings without straining too much and being dead to the world. First thing he did was cut all the gas lines. The buildings would soon begin to fill with highly combustible gas. He then opened his eyes and took the stairs down and stood in the hallway. Once Freya got around to torching Creed which would take a while to actually kill him, if the previous fight was any evidence.

When she threw her fire, he would throw his. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a Zippo lighter and began to flick it open, lighting it, and then closing it with a clink. It would only take a small spark or flame to set all those buildings near this one alight. Some well timed wind or more cut lines could set the entire block in flames. It would also probably spread normally.

[Hank McCoy]

Beast was relieved that the woman finally let him have Night. He pulled the man over his shoulder and took a look around. It seemed Freya and Tari had found Victor Creed and there were other students here. Why were they here? It was a question he would have to ask them later.

It was then that he smelled it. It was faint but it smelled like gas. It wouldn't surprise him if a few gas lines were broken during the demolision of this building. "I would indeed suggest that you come with us my dear." He smiled as nicely as he could towards Jamie as he headed towards the nearest exit from the building. "Freya, I think we've overstayed our welcome." Beast called out to the french woman, more as a warning to her than a demand that she listen to him. He knew that if she really wanted to continue this fight with Sabretooth, she was going to do it.

"You three need to get to the jet." Hank spoke to James, Alice and Luke as he passed them. He knew the building was about to collapse at any moment and now that he was outside and saw the new squads heading their way he spoke up again. "Go now, there isn't much time."

"Forgive me my lady." Beast bowed his head for a moment and grabbed Jamie around the waist. He couldn't bet on her being able to keep up with him so he had a grip on her while he skillfully headed for the X-jet. It was more difficult given the weight on his body but he still managed to get there, even before the students.

Night was placed and strapped down in one of the beds that lined the jet's walls before he moved to turn the engines on. He had to wait for everyone to get on board.

[Freya Elensar Ashe]

Freya's focus was on Victor, and Victor alone. She didn't care what else happened. Well, other then hearing her sister join her. She glanced over at Tari, grinning. "Tari, you'll like him, I promise. Just watch."

The second thing to break her intense concentration on Victor, was Hank McCoy. "Oui. We will catch up. Don't wait for us." Perhaps not the best thing to say, considering the gas lines breaking... But Freya couldn't smell it, and thus was unaware of just what was about to happen. If she had known... She would have left then and there. She might be destructive, but the last thing she wanted was setting fire to a whole city block!

None the less, completely oblivious, she was grinning as she watched Victor Creed, preparing to charge her. "Don't you remember what happened last time we played this game?" A small pause. "Guess not." With out even a moment's hesitation, she lashed out, flames engulfing him....

And, in that same moment... flames burst up everyone, all down the street. Freya felt it. And she hadn't done it. They weren't hers!

Whirling around, she stared wide eyed at the hole, where you could see the massive flames. "Soeur..." For the first time, her sister would hear horror in her voice. "I didn't do that..."

((Kind of just said you did it.... Considering you said you would ))

[rhyme]

The fire was blazing out of control next to them and cut off most of their exits. He could also hear more sirens and was guessing that with the fire they would call in even stronger people. As much as he would like to see Freya and Creed go another round he knew it would be better to get himself and Creed out of there now otherwise he might not be able to get both of them out.

He walked over the second floor until he believed himself to be over Creed and Freya as the building creaked and plaster fell from the ceiling signaling its eventually collapse. He figured he wouldn’t be able to get Creed to go willing with his pride so in his hand a newspaper appeared. This wasn’t a normal paper though; it had the density of titanium and weighed a lot. The fire was filling the room with smoke which hid Artemis’ sent and he hid his own noise. He then threw his free hand at the ground as it dissolved beneath him. He then came down and hit Creed over the head with the newspaper. As they both hit the ground he saluted Freya and grabbed onto Creed’s collar cringing slightly at the blood covering it.

“You know, we really need to stop meeting like this.” He said to Freya. “Oh well, adieu”

At those last words he and Creed dissolved into the floor beneath them. It was simple to modify the density of a substance since it just involved bond strength and molecular energy available. They landed in a sewer below the building. Artemis had this escape route planned all along, first rule of going to a party, always have a way out.

[tari]

Tari just smiled when Freya talked about the man she was going after and that she would like him. "You think so, huh? Well, I guess I’ll watch you have your fun this time."

She chuckled a little as she strolled over to find a seat for the big show. Yeah, Freya did love her fights and Tari wasn’t bothered by it. But, a slight smell filled the air. She looked around at her surroundings, unconsciously searching for the source of the scent. It took her a minute, but her eyes widened when she recognized the scent. Gas! Her heart beat started to speed up a little and Tari kept looking around. Soon, she spotted a young guy with a smirk with buildings falling apart around him…and with a lighter in his hand.

You could literally see the wheels turning in her head. Tari knew she needed to stop this guy…but it was too late. He threw his lighter and the air lit up on fire. On instinct to protect herself, a dome of ice immediately formed up around her. Any fire that came within ten feet of Tari, it seemed to freeze and shatter. When the fire died, the ice dome shattered and Tari walked out unscathed. She was a little shaken from the near death experience.

When Freya spoke, Tari nodded. ”I know…” She breathed in and coughed, her lungs rejecting the smoke from her body. When the young punk who lighted the fire appeared and knocked the “kitty” unconscious, Tari scowled. She was about to freeze the both of them, until they sank into the ground without a trace.

Great. That punk was clever. Anyone who didn’t see what she saw would immediately blame Freya for the commotion and the few deaths that that fire caused. Tari’s heart seemed to sink into her stomach.
