The Cavalry

"Alright," Captain Britain said as they went down the corridors, "above all else we keep moving. If they pin us down, we're useless. Worst case we fall back to the crew at the engines, are we clear?"

by **Byrna Cooper** » Mon Jan 30, 2012 8:37 pm

bear nodded, sprinting along.

"Lead on, captain!"

by **Daniel Uriel** » Mon Jan 30, 2012 8:40 pm

"Time to show them how bad an idea this was, I think," Daniel mused as he followed along.

"...never thought we'd have to save the Phoenix," Kevin said.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Mon Jan 30, 2012 8:49 pm

"right now, She's just Mira."

bear pulled out a flash ball, preparing for anything.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon Jan 30, 2012 8:55 pm

"Right. Saving our friend," Kev said with a hint of guilt for momentarily forgetting that.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Mon Jan 30, 2012 8:58 pm

"Only way to keep this in perspective, really."

by **Kyra Raphael** » Mon Jan 30, 2012 10:11 pm

Also, she's The Phoenix. Kyra thought to Daniel.

The first few corridors they headed down were clear, although Kyra could detect alien thoughts approaching through the corridors. The ship was large, but wasn't exactly a maze, and it seemed inevitable that they were going to run into the resistance on the way to the detention center.

by **Onyx** » Tue Jan 31, 2012 7:30 pm

Onyx keeps inside the shadows, following behind the group. If there's trouble, she intends to be a one woman ambush.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Feb 01, 2012 2:18 pm

"Anything coming up on our radar?" She said with a look to Dan and Kyra.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Wed Feb 01, 2012 9:15 pm

Every little while, Bear stopped and affixed a spy ball in an unobtrusive place, to keep watch on their tails.

by **Alyson Gregory** » Wed Feb 01, 2012 10:55 pm

Alyson followed along in the shadows with Onyx.

by **Kyra Raphael** » Thu Feb 02, 2012 12:17 am

"We've got security incoming." Kyra said "They're nervous, and don't know what is going on."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Thu Feb 02, 2012 12:19 am

"Almost feel sorry for them," Daniel mused. "Almost. Not quite, though."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 10:21 pm

"Well we need to be able to get Altamira out. Can you make them think we're more crew, Kyra?"

by **Kyra Raphael** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 11:36 pm

"I can try." Kyra said, reaching out towards their minds.

by **Narrator** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 11:38 pm

As Kira reached for their minds, she'd find one great advantage: No one knew where the intruders were yet. There was no preconception to fight against to plant the suggestion in, though letting them on their way would send them right toward Ashlie.

by **Kyra Raphael** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 12:31 am

"They're heading toward Ashlie." Kyra said.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 12:32 am

"Then that's going to be a problem too. Can we redirect them?"

by **Byrna Cooper** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 12:39 am

"Shouldn't be a problem," Bear said, juggling a ball. "Where are they now?"

by **Narrator** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 5:12 pm

The Shi'ar seemed to be passing, rather quickly, one hallway over. Kyra could tell this rather precisely, but the rest of them could get a good idea by hearing the sound of footsteps through the closest corridor.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 5:53 pm

bear smiled, and backtracked through the corridors, to set up a concussion ball to go off behind the intercepting Shi'ar, to make them double back, and give the X-Men a clear shot.

by **Narrator** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 12:14 am

There was a muffled thump as the concussion grenades went off, then the sounds of shouting in Shi'ar that was coming gradually closer to them. It wasn't long before the first Shi'ar fell back around the corner and saw the X-Men, readying their guns to fire.

by **Kyra Raphael** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 12:23 am

"And now we've got incoming." Kyra said, doing her best to confuse them.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 12:26 am

"Shiiiittttt..." Bear said, biting her lip as she rejoined the team, and realized her plan had backfired.

Pulling out a metal sphere,vs he readied herself.

by **Derek Scott** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 12:27 am

Derek stayed out of the line of fire erecting a crystal barrier to give the team something to duck behind.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 12:35 am

Daniel looked down at his chest as a plasma bolt impacted it. "Remind me to put Gladiator on my Christmas card list, babe," he said, looking back up and sending beams of searing heat from his eyes at the Shi'ar who'd shot at him.

by **Kyra Raphael** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 12:55 am

"I'll make a note of it." Kyra said dryly.

by **Onyx** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 12:58 am

One of the shadows behind a Shi'ar springs to life, living black tendrils shooting out of it and wrapping around his neck as Onyx rises out from it.

by **Alyson Gregory** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 1:08 am

Aly stepped out behind Onyx, punching one of the Shi'ar in the back of the head.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 1:15 am

Captain Britain rushed in, leading with her force field, aiming to grab at one of the Shi'ar and do a little bowling.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 2:23 pm

Kevin summoned his armor just in time for it to block a plasma bolt. He then leaped into the fray using his lightforce-enhanced fists instead of his swords. He wasn't killing anyone else if he could help it.

by **Narrator** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 2:26 pm

Needless to say, the off-balance and ill-prepared guards didn't even get many shots off before the X-Men had them on the ropes and-or unconscious. There weren't any more responders yet, but it was likely that would change, given the concussion grenades that had been set off. Moving would be a good idea, especially with the detention center this close.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 3:30 pm

"Okay, time to go.." Bear said, a little rushed.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 6:55 pm

"Right, let's haul arse before their friends get here. Mira is counting on us," she said as she led the way down the corridor.

by **Narrator** » Mon Feb 06, 2012 1:16 am

The rest of the corridor was clear, but they'd find the door they needed to get through sealed from normal entry. Kyra would be able to detect many thoughts on the other side. Oddly, there seemed to already be conflict in progress on the other side.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Mon Feb 06, 2012 1:19 am

"Alright, between us we can probably get this open. What are we facing?"

by **Kyra Raphael** » Mon Feb 06, 2012 1:22 am

"Some kind of a fight." Kyra said, reaching her mind out towards it "Trying to figure out more."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Mon Feb 06, 2012 1:33 am

"Confusion is good," Daniel said. "Two parties duking it out, third party comes in and sweeps it under the rug."
