Mutant High Issue 2: A Hard Lesson

As the wall goes up, another tendril of power lashes out, towards the remaining chain binding Cerebro. "I don't know who you are kid, but I'm sure as hell not letting you hurt anyone else!" she shouts.


ooc:
Hero point cut the remaining chain while putting up the wall.

"She seems fine right now. If she can keep the cyborg distracted, he should be easier to kill or disable." Hopefully.

Temper waves the compass around Serena, checking to see if her active electrical power disturbs the needle.

ooc:
Electrical fields do have a tendency to screw with compasses.
I'm also thinking of branching her powers into magnetism if it's alright, considering how closely related both are, using contact with Cerebro as the 'catalyst'.
 


Miranda glanced at Sparky. "I think she might need a little more help.." She sighed, "Well, here goes nothing.."

Miranda focused on Serina's life force then began to shape and fortify it against the Cyborg Kid's assult.

[Sblock="OoC"]
Basically if Miranda senses a drain/nausate is being used against Serena she's going to try to user her Bio-Kenetic powers to counter the effect or assist Serena in resisting it.[/sblock]
 


- Wilderness -
Wolverine nods to Spike, and continues on lookout as the younger mutant checks the phones (They've been cleared except for that most recent message, which Spike forwards to all the relevant numbers he can think of.)

"C'mon, lets get closer and see what we can see" Wolverine urges. They keep going and manage to avoid another patrol before finding a cavern entrance, at which point Wolverine swears and points to the corners. Spike glances in and notices them too - Metal detectors.

- Cafeteria -

Calypso surges forward, entrapping the juggernaut in a globe of water. He thrashes about, but finds that his momentum only works against him in this liquid prison, and cannot get traction. It looks like she's stopped the juggernaut!

"Well.. That seems too easy. Now we just gotta deal with the Cyborg" Phase quips from behind her.


- X-jet -
Upon looking, Temper finds that the needle on the compass is always pointing towards Serena, no matter where on the jet she stands.

Pyro grabs Mirandas hand and she feels a warmth flow through her as she concentrates on Serena. As they watch and travel, there is a sudden surge of electricity from the girl, which shorts out the X-jet's systems.
"HANG ON, We're going down!!" Cyclops shouts.

- Cyberspace -
The Cyborg melds into the ground and reappears behind Serena as she cuts the chain on Cerebro "Your actions force increased lethality output." It raises a hand and fires a blast of electricity point blank into her spine. The virtual lightning sends her flying into Cerebro. She can't tell which of them is screaming, but the noise threatens to shatter her eardrums.. or it would if she actually HAD eardrums in this place.

The pain is unbearable, and she knows that the only reason she's still alive is because of her control over electricity. When she stands back up, her voice is slightly deeper.. probably from the screaming.

The cyborg looks confusedly at her. "Unknown circumstance. Clarify: Who are you?"

"We're Serena." came the voice behind her. Glancing back, Serena sees.. well, herself.. and she notices that both of them are glowing softly.

Kirinke -
I got a very interesting idea from your plans. :D
There are currently 2 of you, and Cerebro is nowhere to be seen.

Fangor - You've got three options ATM (That I can think of, any you have you are free to try, of course). Turn back, go ahead without Wolverine (who'll set off the metal detectors), or head in frontal assault style)

Everybody on the X-jet - Reflex saves, DC 30 to avoid/reduce damage from the crash landing. Also, you each have 1 round to act to do something. Of note, Serena being 'unconscious' will not get a saving throw unless somebody does something to save/wake her.
Buckling up is a move action that gives you a +5 on your save, in case anybody's wondering. ;) Other actions will have appropriate consequences.
Please post what you do in your few seconds, as well as your reflex save.
More notes:
Before you ask, the plane cannot be stopped from crashing without a massive TK usage, and Quarterbacks boost powers will not help this reflex save. I will also not be allowing Hero Point usage at this moment.
The save is vs nonlethal damage, so nobody is actually going to die from the crash.

What's the reason for this? I'd think Quarterback should be able to help one person's save via his boost all traits power, or everyone's (other than his own) by boosting their dexterity.

Miranda quickly makes a headcount. Kitty, Pyro, Cyclops, Sparky, Eric, Temper, (Xian?) and Myself. Oh crap, oh crap oh crap! Even if Kitty and I were able to turn everyone insubstantial and I was able to flout them down safelt the X-Jet would fall like a rock and could possibly kill someone.

She smiled to Pyro for a moment before forcing her way forward towards Serena and tried to wake her up. "Sparky wake up, you need to brace yourself for the impact...!"


Note: Miranda will try to revert to her insubstantial form at the last possible moment.

"We're Serena," She repeats, stalking towards the boy. Behind her, the other her disappears and reappears behind the boy, grabbing him from behind. At the same time, she grabs the boys arms. Around her, them.... The blue-green light brightens to an intolorable glow as energy pours from both sets of hands. She doesn't know of she's screaming or the other her is screaming. Or both or neither.... It hurts.


ooc:
The usual bonuses (data link, machine control, computers plus whatever else Cerebro adds to the mix
Hero point from the merger (I guess that calls for one)

Attempting to turn the kid off and boot him from the system.

Serena does have regeneration, so that should take care of the non-lethal damage. It'll still hurt like the devil for a while..... But it won't be permanent.

Plus, role-playing opportunities! Teenage angst! :]
