Rogue has posed:
Standard X-Men training, right? Show up in the Danger Room, get told its a party simulation for the 4th of July!

It's a big party outside in the backyard near sunset! Xaviers School is all decorated up with 4th of July party favors. The sound of fireworks is echoing out across the horizon in all directions, especially with the setting sun rapidly dimming the skies in to a dark blue state.

The backyard is where the majority of people are congregating, with students running around the grounds in clumps, celebrating in festive ways. IT's all fun and games...

Until something happens.

Rockets are supposed to go UP on the 4th of July, aren't they?

Well tonight, there comes the sight of descending controlled rockets that are lowering down toward the school grounds! Everyone stops what they're doing only to look up at the skies, as giant dark figures lower down toward the grassy green lawns. Huge figures, bulking and hulking bipedal Man Robots!

Sentinels!

They touch down on the grass and their squat dark eyes bright up with flashes of RED!

"Mutants. Detected." The four 50 foot tall robot men announce, as their hands come up and weapons extend from their metallic palms! "Cease festivities, Mutants. Surrender and you will feel no pain."

Students, and parents alike, start to scream and run for the Mansion, or any other cover they can find!

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn might have been fooled into thinking this is actually a party, like a real party and not just another training session. Buut of course they like messing with students heads like this. Annnd of course just has to be Sentinels. Megan's powers aren't so great when it comes to giant robots and so she focuses on crowd control and trying to get the younger members who can't keep up, to safety. She's also flying around, scoring out the situation. How many Sentinels, how far away, what is the layout of the backyard..What can she use to her advantage?

Tabitha Smith has posed:
It's a training session. And the object lesson was Sentinels under the guise of a party so of course Tabitha's going to show up. She's still a trainee X-Intern after all. And so she gets to combine two of her favorite things once the big honking giant robots show up.

Guilt free destruction. And furthering her goal towards full X-Man status.

So here she is, in one of her many many loud ensembles commiting to the party atmosphere. Red jeans with one belt in black looped through normally and a second free slung like it should have a holster attached instead of chromed steel spikes like the collar around her neck. Both fastened with a circular X emblem shaped buckle. A hand cropped former hoodie in yellow tgurned into a widenecked three quarter sleeve mess in bright yellow with neon pink lettering saying BOOM!.

And of course those sunglasses. Red tinted red rramed Ray Bans.

Sentinels attacking the school tends to be a common thing folks worry about and prepare for. But Tabby might just be positively giddy at the sight of the fifty feet walking mass of mutant destruction. Pixie and others guiding the non fighters to safety get a nod and a thumbs up and Tabby, Boom-Boom finds herself a spot and makes for it. It's the roof of the school and she makes it up by maybe cheating and using her powers to throw a blast of plasma underneath her to launch her up kind of haphazardly. Let alone the fact that she does wince a littlke as the force hits her let alone the rough landing up high that she doesn't quite stick.

Kitty Pryde has posed:
Kitty Pryde and Lockheed are over on the grills, helping out. The dragon gives an occasional tiny puff of fiery breath now and then to aid the wood-fired grills. Because everyone likes to feel like they are helping out.

On her head, Kitty is wearing a Chicago Cubs hardhat that has can holders on two sides and a piece of plastic piping from them as a straw. Only instead of having beer in them, she has Grape Nehi. Kitty takes as sip from it as she flips some burgers and continues her conversation with Hambone.

"It's not real common or popular now. But there was this TV show, MASH, and one of the characters really loved it," Kitty is explaining.

"'Mash'? What was it about potatoes or something like that?" Hambone asks.

"No, no, it's like, Mobile Army Surgical Hospital. It was basically a hospital unit in the Korean War and-" is all the reply that Kitty gets out before the unexpected jet plumes are all the warning of the four Sentinels that they get.

Kitty pushes Hambone and another nearby student towards the school. "Get everyone to the Danger Room and seal it," she says, the Danger Room also serving as a last gasp bomb shelter.

The X-man turns then, running to help shoo people away from the Sentinels. "X-Men, work together on them and watch each other's backs!" she yells. "Lockheed, cover!"

The purple dragon launches into the air, the agile flyer darting nimbly in and out among the Sentinels. He breathes out a fiery breath, but it's one particularly heavy on the smoke, leaving clouds of it up high near where their sensors are to help obscure the scrambling mutants.

Negasonic has posed:
    Ellie totally felt like she missed the assignment, or memo, she showed up in her combat uniform ready for a training simulation only end up in a 4th of July Celebration.

    Talk about sullen. Still she loiters away from the lights back against a tree fiddling with her phone. "This better be something other than a party." is muttered to herself darkly.

    "Oh.. okay.. this is definitely better than a apple pie party, it's a full on wrecking club." she glances over at Neon BOOM, aka Tabby as she blasts off. "Show off." though snarky, it almost could be maybe if looked at sideways sound fond.

    She didn't need Kitty's orders, but it does help that there is one full fledged adult team member on site. She shifts and stays behind the tree she was leaning against as she starts to charge up. Not a smol charge either, these things are fricking huge, it does after a few seconds become apparent where she is as the air starts to charge around her and the tree is shredded.

    Right before she hurls the blast at one of the sentinels. Curious how sturdy these things are.

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix has only fought Sentinels over in training before, but this is a good extra session to get in. The SEntinels faced then were oriented towards the trainees. Now they are no doubt going to be more dangerous. And that means that she'll be better able to gauge her effectiveness against them. She goes to scan the other members of the team present. Evaluating how the simulation is going to be run. M is wearing a mostly red X-Men outfit with a yellow belt with an X symbol on it. Something rather odd and that stands out in more contrast to her normal combat attire.

Maybe she didn't feel this was worth risking an outfit she actually liked given they weren't going to beo ut on an acutal battlefield so seh didn't need to look her best? Instead she would ask questions, "How common are models deployed with the abilities to neutralize and adapt to our powers in the field? Will this be a reason to restrict engaging them directly?" She would inquire over to the rest of the group to get an idea for things.
    And then the melee is starting, and she's going in to the fight. She's moving to join in and start to hrul debris at the Sentinels. Staying out of range.

Rogue has posed:
It would seem that the living, breathing, real X-Men are not the only ones on-site for this either. The Danger Room has spawned a Scott Summers, and he's optic blasting one of the FOUR huge Sentinels as the others all react also. One of the FOUR towering Metal Men targets Pixie, and raises its right hand up to fire a Stun Net at the fluttering Pixie girl! "Submit to Sentinel authority!" The robotic voice booms just as Negasonic's blast rocks it from behind, causing the giant Monolith of a Man to stumble forward... and then turn around.... to stare at Ellie!

"Hostile Mutant! Cease your aggressive actionss!" This time his other hand comes up and he fires a YELLOW Nulifier beam AT Negasonic!

One of the other Sentinels is tracking Kitty, Hambone, and more kids fleeing toward the school. The smoke screen from Lockheed causes the Towering Robot to activate a floodlight to pierce through the smoke, sending a eerie spotlight down toward the yard, and patio area, that scans around in the dark. It begins to launch more stun nets at fleeing Students, and parents.

The Simulated Scott runs up beside Tabitha, and calls out to her. "Try to focus your attacks on---"

Cyclops is hit with a rocket from one of the Sentinels, which creates an explosion, sending the X-Men team leader tumbling backward over a bush in the yard, and down a twenty foot drop to one of the side yards below!

As Monet's attacks start to pepper another Sentinel, more rockets can be seen in the sky, as large boxy-shaped vehicles begin to descend toward the yard. The boxy-shaped vehicles have more spotlights that shine around the grassy fields, as automated voices sound out. "Mutant Captivity Containment Cells are deploying! Clear the landing area, please, and thank you!"

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn meeps, darting this way and that, proving quite agile in the air..As the Sentinels shoot a stun net at her, she ducks and twists to the side, barely missing it, though a bit catches in her wings, slowing her down. "Gah! Get it off, get it off!" she spirals ground ward before she can focus better, murmuring the magic words that port her out of the sticky netting, landing somewhere near Scott..Who is suddenly falling through the air.

"Mr Summera! Hold on!" and she darts after him, trying to grab him before he can go splat! easing him safely to the ground. "So now what?" she checks her comm radio. "Orders?"

Tabitha Smith has posed:
There's actual smoke wisping off Boom-Boom's clothes from her take off a few scorch marks where her powers and the un stable molecules she gets her clothes treated with when she remembers to don't quite keep up. But from her new vantage point she has a few things going for her.

"If they have'em they'd open with them and we'd be boned raw. Like Cube would say. "With No Vaseline!" she yells out to the dark skinned woman in red throwing debris. "And M*A*S*H* the show totally glossed ovver just how horrible those people were! Trapper was tone of the worst!" she points out.

The blonde mutant charging energy in her hands in a ball of purple plasma extra focus as she picks her target. The closest Sentinel's neck.

"This one's for Fake Cyclops!" she yells and lets her blast fly, psionically directed and snaking around to try and decapitate the robot. Anyone with even a modicum of telepathy might get a sense that Tabby is maybe having a mental battle in her head. Memories of Genosha, a good chunk of rage from her first X-Force mission. The need too just cut loose now versus not just throwing one massive bomb.

Luckily she's got a bit more self control and that stream of plasma flying at Tabitha's control while more than enough to leave most things slagged. Is guided well above everyone thanks to the size of the robots towering over everyone.

"Joints and necks! Hit them articulation pints like ribbing up an action figure! Pixie. Portal Negasonic in one of their chests. Boom big inside. Kitty, M. Take out their knees, knock them down. Lockheed can like melt heads off with me!" Tabby yells with a maniacal glee in her eyes.

"What? I do Sentinel Horde Mode sims a lot! It's numbers that'll stack against us the longer we go!" she adds as she works on cooking and taking off one Sentinel's head to start with.

Kitty Pryde has posed:
Kitty sees both parents of one of the kids go down in a net. She runs over that way, while Lockheed continues weaving in and out, trying to thicken the smoke even as one Sentinel deploys a spotlight to try to illuminate the people running in the dark.

The young woman runs and slides behind a few deck chairs to try to stay out of sight. A brief pause there to wait for the moment Lockheed has laid down extra smoke and then she rushes over to the parents. Reaching the parents Kitty pulls them out. To the couple's daughter, she says, "Help get them inside!" given they are stumbling after being stunned by the net.

<< M, Negasonic, Boom Boom try to work together. Keep them off each other but try to focus your attacks. If one of you can get one of the descending vehicles before it makes it down, do it. We've got the other!>> she sends out over comms.

Kitty turns back, spotting where Lockheed is nimbly weaving around the head of another Sentinel, dodging a swing it makes with a giant hand. "Lockheed, the vehicle!" she calls out, pointing upwards.

The dragon and the girl are on the same page and he wheels over in a hairpin turn that barely loses any speed and then climbs. The little purple dragon darts straight up, flapping his wings hard and zooms right into the rocket wash of one of the descending vehicles!

For a few seconds there's nothing, no sign of him. And then that rocket engine suddenly springs a leak on the side, hot vapor flowing out in a small plume that begins to expand.

Lockheed dives back down, the dragon who loves lava baths unharmed by the rocket's heat. As he falls away, the hole in the side of the rocket enlarges and then the entire engine blows apart, taking half of the vehicle with it and leaving the rest of it to start falling towards the grounds.

Monet St. Croix has posed:
The orders are from Shadowcat, and Monet goes to obey to the best of her ability. She goes to maneuver towards the one that's attacking Negasonic,going to angle herself high and in a curve. Her intent is to fly up at her best possible speed that she can muster at short range, trying tos lam into it at the upper end of it's neck from a high angle. Hopefully with enough speed and force to throw off it's attack over on Negasonic and knock it off balance. This would hopefully leave room over for the girl to retreat or hit the SEntinel with a high power blast to inflict substatnial damage on it.

<<Those vehicles will be extremely dangerous if they can land. They're too durable for us to take out effectively>> Seh would give a warning and evaluation, even with the explosive powers of the rest of the group available.

She's diving along and then rising up, going to try and attack another Sentinel nearby, even if just to have it target her so that it would give the others some room to coordinate their own maneuvers!

Negasonic has posed:
    Well. Good to know. The boom definitely staggered the big dumb thing. If she had hit it harder it may have fallen onto students or the school. So... angles are suddenly important.

    Did Ellie do okay in trig or geometry. Math. Is she good at math. What about physics. All suddenly things inquiring minds should want to know.

    "Damn." and she explodes herself sideways rapidly out of the way of the yellow nullifier beam, aiming to deposit herself soundly behind another copse of trees, starting to count off the seconds as she builds up a bigger charge this time, with more of a plan in her head. Which is immediately derailed by Kitty's orders. << Okay got the other transport. I hope >> which may be for the best.

    Ellie doesn't step out from behind the trees to take a shot at the sentinel that is probably ready for her, if not for Monet knocking it off ourse, which may still save Ellie's but as she launches herself like a warhead right at the transport, aiming for the engines powering it without much regard for personal safety. Which is fair, she has her full boom shield up as she launches like her namesake with many seconds of charging.

    When they connect it is a fantasticly large boom too.

Rogue has posed:
Pixie gets herself out of the stun net, just in time to see, and sweep in to save, Cyclops before he would hit the ground hard. Cyclops rights himself then, and adjusts his ruby glasses. "Thanks, Pix. I need you to get up to the kids, make sure they get inside and down to the base level, or get off property. We've been discovered. We have to begin the evacuation protocols!"

Scott starts to run for the nearby stairs back up to the patio as he tosses off his jacket and starts firing another salvo of eye-beams at one of the four Sentinels! The Simulated Leader isn't out of the fight after all!

Tabitha gets up and toward that Sentinel head, her attack primed and ready go to! But just before her Boom goes Boom, the Sentinel launches a barrage of triple rockets that spiral around each other and fly toward the explosive blonde! Armed with Mutant Tracking technology, the three mini-rockets are on the way to tearing her up!

Lockheed's assault on the second transport pays off, in some regards, which is to say that the vehicle starts to fall out of the sky, a slagged mess, with half of its contents spilling out on to the yard... smaller, regular man-sized robots that all pile on to the grass in heaps now.. as they start to slowly get up! They start pushing their way up to their feet, and raise their hands up, red laser beams firing off out of their hands toward the school building now! "Penetrating building facade! Mutants will have no quarter!" One of the metal men can be heard saying as he fires his weapons from his palm!

Negasonic collides with the first landing transport! The resulting explosion is far bigger, far louder, than anything that would have gone off during a 4th of July fireworks show! The Westchester night sky is filled with light, and the reverberation of a powerful detonation! The first transport starts to fall to the ground entirely in pieces now from Negasonic's blast!

Monet's efforts send that 50 foot tall Metal Bastard down on to his stomach on the yard, narrowly avoiding crushing some of the hiding places that some of the student's parents were behind, causing them to scream and run toward where Kitty is!

Tabitha's explosion goes off, ripping half the face off of the Sentinel she was attacking! Its one eye remaining on, while it shoots fire and sparks out of the side of its face! Wobbling... it some how remains still standing...

The other two 50 foot tall Sentinels continue their assault, firing nullifier beams at fleeing mutant students. One of them sends out its hands on long extending wires, grabbing handfuls of students, five in one hand, three in the other. "Submit to captivity." The Sentinel says as it holds on to the people in its metal claws!

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn nods and beams at Cyclops, glancing around. "Got it! I'm on it.." she sees those containers getting ready to be loaded, maybe even some kids being loaded within, and narrows her eyes, clenching her fists as she teleports inside one of them, "It's ok kids, come on!" she summons another portal on the side of the container, herding the kids to safety as it will send them to the safety of the basement level of the institute.

Once that's done she will scoop up more stray kids, flying or porting them to safety.

Tabitha Smith has posed:
There'd be some nose bridge pinching if Tabby had her hands free but she just rolls with Kitty's plan. She's too busy trying not to be blown up herself as rockets are fired and aiming at her.

Tabby does like to fight fire with fire. Which means a moment to throw her own guided bombs to explode when they get too close to her spot on the roof of the schoot.

"Gah I don't have enough room!" she says when the rockets explode a little too close and Tabby 's back is pelted with shrapnel from the rockets and parts of the roof. It's not a pretty sight for the normally pretty mutant looking very much a mess of wounds and ruined clothes and scorching. But she still gets up on a wobbly step.

"Lets... try this crap again! Tick... Tick... Tick..." she yells and lights both hands up again.

BOOM!

The next streams fly and there's more oomph as she holds back as little less. The sentinel who's face she just melted off getting another hit while the one taking an arm full of kids to be captured catches a blast center mass. This time she just pours the heat and blast power of her plasma on. Not stopping till she sees them drop or she does. "BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!" she might be a little angry and probably to no one's surprise. Concussed.

Kitty Pryde has posed:
Lockheed zooms back down and flies around one of the Sentinels, breathing fire at it directly this time. Enough to scorch the metal, but not enough on a flyby to really do much damage. Though he might build up those scorch marks on its visual sensors that he's trying to aim for.

Kitty sees the contents of the crashed airship. "Drat," she says. <<I'll focus on some of the ground ones. Pixie, after you get those others clear, rendezvous with me beside the tennis court,>> she sends out over comms.

Sprinting forward then, Kitty heads right at a cluster of the human sized Sentinels that are heading for the doors to the school. One of them turns to shoot at her, Kitty dodging to the side, then again as a second fires. She doesn't want them to know her power until she has to, though finally one's aim is good enough the laser passes right through her.

But she's closed the distance now. The mutant runs through one human-sized Sentinel after another, making sure to get part of her body through the areas she knows their processors and memory to be.

The Sentinels learn what so many cell phones at Xavier's have learned the hard way. Electronics don't like having someone phase through them.

Monet St. Croix has posed:
There are lots of smaller ones now. There are larger Sentinels that are herding children and going to attack them and wrap them together. Going to see the swarm of small sentinels coming out, Monet St. Croix goes to charge at them headfirst. Rather than smashing into them, she's just going to.. Grab them. it's a struggle, and hse ends up blasted, hit, and smashed.. But she gets a solid handfull of four or five.. Which seh then goes tos peak into her comm <<Hitting the big one>>
    THen, once she's sure it's not at an angle where it's risking the studetns and parents being caught in it, Monet goes to rapidly hurl all of the small robots together like a large stone through the air over at the center of the torso. Physics being what they are, a number of smaller robots hurled over into a much bigger ones are virtually guaranteed to detonate. It's a warning given to the res tof the team,a nd hopefully enough to disrupt the charge of the bigger one to slow it down for the studetns to get to shelter if it works!

Negasonic has posed:
    Ellie has been really considering trying to get some sort of super military hardened phone for her snark tweeting thanks to Kitty being around.

    Meanwhile speaking of Ellie, there is this blazing fireball falling in the rain of debris from the destroyed drop ship. She is aimed right at the undamaged that isn't holding a bunch of prisoners.

    There is a bit of a whistle in the air.

    She is being pragmatic though aiming for the right hip which should cause it to topple if all goes well and she takes out the leg... into the pool.

    She never was one for pool parties after all.

    Hell with luck it might take out the tennis court too.

Rogue has posed:
The part of the roof that is destroyed near to Tabitha are suddenly entirely ripped away as a redheaded Jean Grey appears out of the school. With her hands out at her sides, and her red hair flowing behind her. Jean raises her hands up to aim toward the Sentinels...

The big guns are here no---

Jean gets hit witha Stun Net and goes falling to the ground where she hits the pavement beside the patio, and gets electrified repeatedly!

"JEAN!" Scott shouts as he fires another Optic Blast toward the Sentinel that shot tthat stun net, while he runs toward where Jean has slumped on the ground. He clutches her through the stun net and tries to remove it from her while it pulses them both with power!

Zaaaaaaaaaap!

Tabitha's bomb finishes off the rest of that 3rd Sentinel's head, causing an explosion to just tear the head right off, sending the Sentinel stumbling backward until it falls down on to the basketball court, crushing the nets beneath it as it lands!

The Sentinel that was originally knocked down to the ground is getting up on to its hands and knees, only to suddenly be impaled on the back of its head by a set of SNIKTING claws! Simulated Wolverine has joined the fight!

Logan roars with furious anger as he claws his way up the back of the Sentinel, jamming his claws repeatedly in to the back of the Sentinel's head, sending a shower of sparks off of the Metal Monster as it tries to stand up, only to have the back of its head ripped open by Sim Wolvie!

"Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Logan shouts, feral mode engaged!

The Sentinel that Wolverine is tearing in to, reaches its right hand up and suddenly blasts him with a laser beam that melts half of Logan's flesh right off of his body, causing him to fall away in to the Breakstone lake with a roar and a splash!

Ellie's downward explosion ROCKS the Sentinel still on its feet that does not have any prisoners yet, it takes that blast and stumbles sideways, one of its feet reaching out to stabilize itself, only to splash down in to the pool sending chlorine water up everywhere in a gushing wave!

It then slips backward and its huge metal butt comes slamming down just beside the Tennis court where Kitty is rallying Megan!

This leaves just the singular Sentinel on its feet with its prisoners in its hands being taken up to a open compartment on its stomach... only its been temporarily slowed down by Kitty's electronic sabotage manuever! It's eyes glitter and flicker as it tries to reboot itself though, only giving the X-MEN mere seconds to do something before it stuffs those shouting prisoners in to its internal prison!

Meanwhile, Monet gathers up a bulk majority of the Footsoldier Sentinels, with her move indeed causing another blast that sends another shockwave across the yard! The mansion is rocked by this explosion, causing some fires to break out in the greenery and gardens, leading toward the garage!

Rogue has posed:
The explosive from BoomBoom that was aimed at the Hostage taking Sentinel is set off right near the light on the massive robot's chest! It causes the armor mask of the Sentinel to shoot downward, and cover its face in preparation for the explosion! The Hostages in its hands are screaming as it bursts right in front of their eyes, leaving some of them sizzling from the explosion that now causes that last standing Sentinel to stumble backwards, trying to maintain its footing!

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn nods to Kitty, still freeing kids from the container before glancing around, dodging any stray fire, she spots Jean and Scott and frowns, "Hang on!" flying towards them, darting and ducking out of stray shots, she reaches the couple and narrows her eyes, "Sihal Novarum Chinoth!" she yells, portaling them to the safety of the mansion where they can recover while the next gen covers ground.

She reaches the tennis court and holds out a hand towards Kitty, summoning another portal. "Are you ready for this?" whenever she steps through, the other end will port her near one of the Sentinels' heads.

Kitty Pryde has posed:
Kitty takes cover until Megan reaches her. "Ready," Kitty says. "The important parts are in the head but down near where the tongue would be, not where the brain would be. So get me through there and then get the people to safety. Don't worry about me. I fall excellently," Shadowcat says.

She reaches out to take hold of Megan. Kitty pulls off her Chicago Cubs drink-holding hard hat. "Going to leave this right in the middle of it's processor too," she says with a gleam in her eyes.

Lockheed darts towards the Sentinel, breathing plume of fire at its face to distract it from the incoming winged mutant and her phasing payload.

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Fires can be put out. Monet goes to call over to Pixie <<As rapidly as youc an if possible please try and evacuate those whom have taken cover in the area>> Monet stands ready to redirect towards the other sentinels that are still active. As one big Sentinel goes to smash over into the pool, and the other goes to seem like it's about to crush those wihtin it's belly..

And she goes to move to try and charge over towards it. Her intent isn't to slam right through it.. her intent is to just try and catch and grab over on to one of the arms. If she can, that means it has to divert power to trying to push her away or attack her and slows down it's absorption. An dhopefully leaves just a few extra seconds for the rest ot save hte students.

Negasonic has posed:
    Ellie doesn't stay still for long, she cratered into the grass by the volleyball court but she is bouncing up, glancing around, then she starts to pop off blasts at some of the many man sized sentinels shooting at the school and causing mayhem.

    ((... uh... not good at precision not going after the one with prisoners that is.. a someone else job )) she will though once she thinks Pixie and Kitty won't be crushed send a big boom at the sentinel sitting on the tennis court though.

Tabitha Smith has posed:
"Who programmed this damn thing!" Tabby yells as her blast cooks students. She's not all that steady on her feet as she watches the second of the sentinels she's attacking to put up a guard.

Tabitha really, looks mad.

The next BOOM. While the Sentinel is wobbling. It's actually two. Plasma streams like someone took a flamethrower and a shot gun, scaled them up, combined them, and then directed the plasma blasts in a paired spiral before breaking from each other. One taking out a knee, cooking and melting that joint. Then using the second to drive upward from behind.

Giant Robot gets a plasma enema with an aim to nutshot.

"I need more frigging room god dammit!" she yells very, very frustrated.

Rogue has posed:
Scott and Jean are teleported away by the timely arrival of Pixie! When she returns the battle is still unfolding in a chaotic way! The Sentinel with the hostages seems to be the current prime target, while the one Logan was attacking is now back up on its kneese and rising back up. Its head is ripped open, and sparks are flying out the back of it to cascade down off its shoulders. It's hands raise up and aim toward Tabi and Monet, each one firing a DEATH RAY laser beam at the two hostile mutants! Apparently Logan really pissed this damaged Sentinel off!

Kitty phases in to the Hostage holding Sentinel, gumming up its internals, and causing its red eyes to flicker and shut down entirely. It is now just frozen like this with the crispy students in its metal hands flailing and still crying out for help! The Sentinel's scorched chest armor loses a piece of plating, as it topples down to the ground at the Tall monster's feet.

"Looks like someone needed a Gambit 'round here more than they let on." A familiar voice says from the edge of the pool house. The Cajun drops down off of the roof and crouches some before he stands up, kicks his bo-staff causing it to twirl in his left hand, as his right thrusts out, and he sends a wave of purple-pink explosive cards toward the Sentinel with one foot in the pool, and its ass on the tennis court!

Gambit's cards pepper the Sentinel with powerful explosions that cause it to shake and sputter as parts of its armor are blown off!


Negasonic's attack on the remaining Footsoldiers pay off with high marks, causing them to burst in to flames, with metal parts scattering across the yard, one after another, as the teenage bombshell makes her way to the Sentinel that Remy just exposed the armor off the chest of! And this is when Negasonic's attack takes advantage of that...

Once more the Xaviers School yard is lit up by a massiv explosion as the Sentinel is completely ravaged, its head flying up in to the air like a damn rocket on its way to the moon!

"Dat'a girl, Huggasonic." Remy LeBeau says with another twirl of his bo-staff and then a lit-up card being thrown at another Footsoldier Sentinel, kabooming it in to a dark copse of forest trees!

Tabitha on the Hostage Sentinel that still stands there with its systems off-line, gets its joints weakened, and the machine starts to fall down on to its knees, but if the team doesn't act quick it will fall forward and crush the captive students in its mits!

This leaves just the single Sentinel that Logan ripped the back of the head off of, on the other side of the yard near the lake, firing those DEATH RAY beams!

Tabitha Smith has posed:
It's not a good time for Tabby and probably not a good time to be a sentinel. Simulated people are being hurt. It's probably Tabby's fault Her back is shredded for the umteenth time because of rockets. She has another concussion from the same sentinel derived blast.

So she leaves the falling one for the others to catch and just eyes the last one spewing Lasers of death Pew Pews and just raises one hand over her head.

This is a more traditional bomb. About the size of a hatchback compact car.

"Anyone not in cover maybe wanna get to some. Preferably outside damn danger room!" she warns before yelling again to the robot that's had a little more taken off the back of it's head than is facory spec.

"HEY! Eyes up here!" she yells and launches the bomb with a flick of fingers above her head and a point of her index with the other hand as she directs her explosive payload with an almost sadistic look on her face.

At this point unlike the streams. That bomb gonna BOOM! even if a death laser hits Tabby and maybe right now she isn't too worried.

Negasonic has posed:
    Well holy crap... she isn't a rescue people with her explosions sort of girl. Not her skillset. So this isn't good.

    Then Tabby yells take cover and is going big boom and well Ellie brings up a charge of her own just so she has her blast shields up when Tabby's goes off. "Crap!"

Kitty Pryde has posed:
Kitty comes out the other side of the Sentinel's head, having left her hard hat behind in its central processing unit. She's standing on the Sentinel's shoulder and then turns to take stock of the situation.

<<People in it's hands, we've got to get them before it falls on them! I've got the left hand!>> she sends over comms. Kitty dives off the Sentinel's shoulder, falling towards the left hand. But she begins slowing in little spurts as she nears it.

"Quick!" she shouts to those inside, "Everyone grab hold of me and don't let go!" Kitty jumps right into the middle of the group, grabbing the two who seem like they might be the least capable of holding on right now, and extending her legs so there is more surface area for people to grasp.

That's the last people can see of Kitty and that group as the Sentinel falls over onto them.

Monet St. Croix has posed:
And as one hand is going to be dealt with, Monet is going to charge in at full speed over towards the other hand that's holding up studetns. She's not strong enough to remotely try and yank them free, nor is she durable enough if the Sentinel can refocus it's weaponry over on her. All she can do is charge on in under the guidance of the others, and let them be able to blast it fully off or free them so she can fly away with the students tos afety.

If their timing is off, then she's going to be among those that will rest at the bottom of the lake as fry dried bones..

Rogue has posed:
Tabitha is hit by the DEATH RAY right in her face! BEAM!!!!!!!

But, her explosive goes off at the same time, absolutely shredding the Sentinel whose pieces are sent in a wave of fire across the lake... just as Logan was standing up out of the water. "Hey, Bub.... Ah, fuc---" And he's toasted along with the wave of fire!

The Sentinel that Monet and Kitty both go after is toppling forward on to the lawn with small fires burning all around the pathways that weave through the gardens!

Gambit walks up to where Negasonic is shielding herself, and he lights a cigarette before placing it between his lips. "Dis is what I call a party...." The Cajun quips just before it all comes crumbling down....

The whole world goes black...

Then the lights slowly come back on in the Danger Room, as the sounds of Rogue walking on her wedge heeled boots toward where everyone is. She's holding a tablet computer. Her eyes are down on it. "Lets see... Tabitha sacrificed herself, killed Logan... in the process. Negasonic did pretty good with her focused attacks, but did start a fire in the garage which pinned a group of hiding mutants inside... though the sprinklers may have saved them eventually...."

The Belle pauses beside Remy, who is still there, for some reason? Wait, is that even a Sim Remy?

"Kitty did pretty good, inovative for her situation. Though Lockheed had the more impressive moves, I'd say." Rogue puts one foot up on to the Beer Hat now, using it as a Captain Morgan stand for her foot as she reads.

"Monet seemed to be holding back. But with as many innocents in play, thats fairly understandable. Hmmm...." Rogue clucks her tongue as she tosses some hair back behind her shoulder.

"In the end. I'm gonna say this was a B+. With Pixie getting the Star of the Game award."

Rogue looks up with a bright smile. "Good job, team." She notes, pushing the beer hat over to the crouching Kitty on the ground, with Lockheed swooping in to land beside her.

"Who wants to go get some pizza?"

Tabitha Smith has posed:
Simulated deathbeam it maye be. It still hurts and Tabitha acutally screams as she keeels over.

"Got him as good as he me!" she hisses as she falls. Logan would have been fine, eventually. The real one would at least.

But the sim ends finally and the room is back to mostly empty and now Rogue Filled.

There's a thud as Tabby is no longer on a roof so gravity takes her and now she's on the ground with another pained yelp.

"Pooched it the moment Cyclops ran at me." Tabby grumbles as she tries to pick herself up. One arm may have dislocated itself at the shoulder as well.

"Extra sauce, extra cheese." she chimes in a topping as she tries to not trail blood down her back where simulated metal fragments no longer keep red stuff inside.

She might have to wait before going back to her dorm and past her neighbors.

But Pizza is good for dealing with the sting of failure and missles and death lasers.
