Mutant High Issue 2: A Hard Lesson

[Jemal]

-School-

The cyborg stands still, eyes closed as if concentrating on something as Phase sighs. "Fine, but if you get hurt I'm getting you the hell out of here" He kneels and puts his hands on the ground, turning a portion of the hallway they're standing on into a field of water.

Juggernaut laughs as he barrels forwards, bowling right through an ice wall formed by Iceman and backhanding Beast into a wall. Gambit throws a card at him but it seems to have little effect.


-Cyberspace-
Cerebro shakes his head at Serena and raises his hands, revealing glowing chains connecting them to the floor.
"That cannot be allowed" The voice from behind her is that of a young boy, though computerized. Turning, she sees a young cyborg - no more than about 12 years old. His eyes roll back into his head as streams of data fly by "Tertiary Target:Cerebro has been neutralized. Primary and Secondary targets in X-mansion aquired. Possible threat detected. Neutralizing. His eyes return to normal as he locks his sights onto Serena.

- X-jet -
"Fury? The kid? Why would Magneto wanna.." Pyro's face goes white as he realizes what everybody's talking about "Damn.. and here I thought all we had to worry about was him stealing the Professor or Cerebro"
Meanwhile, Cyclops continues flying and trying to contact the school, though something is interfering with the signals there. Hopefully you'll make it in time..

[sblock=ooc]
Serena is about to enter a cyberspace battle with the Cyborg-kid. If you'd like to try him, rules run a bit differently here, it's basically based on your computer skill and not your physical (real world) abilities. You can either try to pull out, or confront him. Please post what you want to try (And how), and I'll start running it if you don't 'log off'
*Also, you had time to get either the primary OR secondary target info while the data was flashing by. Please pick one*

In the school it's currently Astrid's turn.

I really hope I know what I'm doing with this... Eric thinks, drawing on his power. But she's going to need any edge she can get if she wants to get through the mansion's security systems...

[sblock=OOC]
I posted an update to Eric's power array last month after you shot down re-doing it with a Variable structure, but if you OK'd the changes, I missed it.

Here's the power as proposed....

- We can do this: Boost All Skills (3 pp/rank) + Burst Area (1pp/rank) + Selective (1 pp/rank) + Total Fade (1pp/rank) + Slow Fade (1 pp/rank) -1 pp/rank Others Only Flaw * Rank 5 + Subtle Feat (1 pp) = 31 pp

Serena makes a grab for the primary target information and she downloads it to the X-jet. Tendrils of light reach out for the Cyborg kid as she joins in battle, her eyes in the real world become an unearthly blue and she herself is crackling with weird electrical energy.

"You aren't welcome here. Cerebro, I'll distract him, try to break free." she orders the program, taking a defensive stance in front of the program.

"What's going on back there?" Cyclops glances behind him as Serena starts crackling. As she does, information starts streaming up on the computer screens nearby, accompanied by a picture of Derek (AKA Phase). A brief glance reveals the phrase "Do as much Damage to school and protectors as possible but at all costs extract Him."

- Cyberspace -
The tendrils whip out to ensnare the cyborg, holding him in place as Cerebro struggles against the 'chains'.
"Threat level: Moderate. Initiating Assault Mode." The Cyborgs arms change shape to resemble large cutting lasers as it slices free of the tendrils.

Miranda's eyes grew wide. "Oh crap!" She glanced down at the screen and bit her lip. "If they got both Phase and Alchemist and were somehow able to harness their combined powers, or brainwash them, then Magneto would have a perfect weapon to use against.. well anyone."

Miranda glanced out the nearest window and tried to look for the school. "I think we should start forming teams or something and figure out what exactly we are going to do besides kicking ass and saving people."

Serena begins to glow brighter and a bright, sharp whip of energy lashes out at Cerebro's 'chains', attempting to cut through them. The other tendrils lash out at the Cyborg. "Threat moderate huh? Let's see how you fare against both of us!"

"Shooting from the treeline seems useful," Temper says, studing the map . "We might need to advance though if the fighting has moved inside, though. Hmm, how would they be getting in and out?" she adds, thinking out loud.

(Can we use tactics there? I think Eric, Serena, and Temper are all trained with at least +5.)

ooc:
That'd be nice, but Serena is currently having her own difficulties in Cyberspace.

OOC: Well, Eric's trying to help there (which ought to have the side effect of improving Temper's tactics skill, too) ... Also, his Master Plan feat may come in handy...

Miranda smirked. "I seriously doubt they are using the front door. Considering that message, I'm willing to bet they decided to make a big hole in the wall."

She glanced to Pyro then blushed, "I know this might not be the time, but um... what's your name? I was um.. just wondering 'cause how everyone calls you by your mutant name and I never even heard your first name or anything before."
