Stephen hopped backwards and landed near the wall, rearranging his hair and suit, as well as his bowler hat. It was then that he noticed the mutant known as Cyclops aiming at him. Cyclops let loose with a blast, but Stephen dodged to the left. He flipped his bowler hat off with his hand, took a bow, and put his hat back off. Cyclops didn't find the gesture as humorous, and began to fire rapidly and without aim. Stephen dodged the first few blasts easily, but the fourth one seared his nice suit. Now this is personal Stephen thought to himself as he got a firm grip on his cane. He made his way quickly and agilely to the other side of the room, and engaged Cyclops, kicking and swinging at him. Cyclops dodged most of the hits, only getting grazed by a few of them. It was then that Stephen twisted the head of his cane, and a 6-inch blade jutted out the other side. He swung it quickly at Cyclops, and he reeled back, but he wasn't quick enough. Blood was coming from the long diagonal cut on Cyclops' chest. It wasn't a deep cut by any means, but Cyclops knew now that Stephen meant business.

Jamie smiled slightly when he heard Xavier. Know that Xavier was here, Jamie had other things to focus on. Like the brotherhood. Jamie wished he could rest for awhile, but his adrenaline rush from the realization that Penny may be dead wasn't gone yet. Now, he just had to find out who did it. There was one face that stuck out in the crowd.
Forge. It was Forge who sold them out. And he had trusted that son of a b***h. Jamie jemped to his feet and charged through the fighting. He all but ignored what was going on around him, paying just enough attention to dodge around some hex bolts that Wanda had been firing off randomly.
Jamie almost grinned when he heard the crack. He hadn't even slowed down his running when he reached Forge, but just threw his fist into Forge's jaw. He looked at Forge as he lay on the ground, a cold malice in his eyes.
"I can't believe you sold us the ******** out." Jamie said, resisting the urge to kick Forge while he was on the ground. Jamie then opened his mouth to say something when he was hit in the gut by a stun burst from a gun Forge was holding. Jamie got knocked onto his back, and was completely winded for a second, before he jumped back to his feet and tackled Forge, who was trying to run.

Jamie was still laying on the ground. He could have been killed by that high voltage jolt of electricty, luckily he wasn't dead and tried to tough it out. Luckily what protected him was his very little armor he had on from previous training he was in with the Brotherhood, which apparently he never took off. He tried to relax on the gorund and try to help himself. He closed his eyes resting them.
He heard very little noises approching him. He barely could hear though it was like the bolt of electricty just lowered his entire body functions. He opened his eyes barely keeping them open, closing them and opening slowly again. Everything was pretty much blury to him, but he notcied a familar shape it was Victoria aka Sonic. He let out a very small smile. He couldn't speak, but he very much appriciated her coming to comfort him and to see if he was alright.
He slowly shifted his head still on the ground facing Sonya, I hate you, you little b*****d about a few months of recovering for him. He tried to not mind her and relax trying to help hismelf through this hopefully he will find the strength to get up and fight back, it would be a miracle if it were to happen for someone in his condition. He should've have been thinking before he attacked her in the first place.

Morgan simply stood still, still trapped under the mound of sand. There were only a few thoughts going through his mind. Two thoughts, actually.
Penny's dead? His mind just refused to believe it. No. No, no, no, no, no!! She can't be dead! She can't be! There's no way she'd go down that easily! he thought.
And then the second thought sped through his mind at Jamie's words. Forge. That backstabbing, doublecrossing, traitorous son of a ******** b***h. He ******** sold us out.
And then, Morgan's mind went blank, aside from a single, simple concept: revenge.
With a low, animal growl, the hardened sand around him burst outward, showering the room in dust and rubble. He stalked towards the fight between Jamie and Forge, the look in his eyes not the cheerful gaze they usuall held, but the cold eyes of someone who didn't care if they got blood on their hands.
"He's mine," Morgan said coldly, pulling Jamie off of Forge's prone form. Forge rolled onto his back, and fired a stun burst at Morgan, but the shot went wild, deflected by one of Morgan's forcefields. Forge tried to fire again, but Morgan kicked the gun out of his hands.
"I'm going to enjoy crushing you like the traitorous insect you are. I wonder how much pressure it would take before you begged for death? Oh, did you think I would do this quickly? When I'm done, you will wish I had," Morgan mused at him, staring at Forge with a look of malicious glee on his face. Raising his palm, he formed dome over Forge, and began compressing it downwads, until the ground beneath Forge cracked under the pressure.

Regina knew Penny wasn't dead. She couldn't be. She just... couldn't be... She felt more remorse at the thought than anger. Though granted, she was just as upset as Moren maybe more so. Something beeped in her pocket.
"Regina? Scott? anyone?!" Gen's voice came through a small communicator in her pocket.
"Gen? What the hell?" Regina asked in shock, moving into the shadows where no one could hear her or the comm unit.
"Where are you guys? What's going on??" Gen asked her voice panicked but laced with relief at the same time.
"We're busy. Currently attempting to defeat Magneto in his crazy scheme... so far so good. Where are you? And what of penny, what's her status??" Regina asked.
"We're at the mansion. Penny's in a healing coma." Gen answered, sighing a bit. "Rachel is helping someone that got left behind. We're okay so far. How long until you all come home...?"
"As logn as it takes..." Regina said softly. "I have to go. Before people start getting killed." she closed the unit and stepped out of the shadows again, narrowly missing the fighting. "ACK!"

"Wow, those things pack a wollop..." Markus said as he pulled himself back together a second time in an hour. A quick glance around him concluded that this had gotten way, way out of hand...and no amount of help would tip the scales back into their favor. So he quickly played chameleon and flattened himself against the nearest conveinent wall and altered his colors to match it.

Sonya.. come back to us... calm yourself... your anger may seem overwhelming now, but the weight of regret if you kill even these jerks will torment you for the rest of your life... come back to us... calm... arms down... sit down sweetheart... that''s it... rest...
Jean, still barely conscious on the ground, still had enough in her to keep one of the younger students from making a horrific mistake. She only hoped her mind could stay steady enough to bring Sonya''s rage under control. Even if she managed to save the girl, the rest of the X-Men''s rage toward their former tech man was as powerful, if not moreso, than what Sonya was going through. She knew she wouldn''t be strong enough to stop them all... and hoped her mentor would be able to stop Magneto as well as lend her hand.
For now, though, she sent out alpha brain waves... and hoped her mind wouldn''t teeter back into unconsciousness.

Pietro coughed raggedly as Sasha carried him away, his head spinning, his legs barely strong enough to hold him up. It was as if he'd been struck by several lightning bursts at once, and by all rights he should have been dead.
"Heh... my mouth tastes like... burning... and purple," he muttered incoherently. He hadn't even registered yet that his sister had returned. "Heh... yer pretty... yer increasingly attractive as I get more and more and more and harder to talk to yourself...."
Sasha rolled her eyes. "God you're never serious," she groaned.
"Yeah... well... its just... I gotta act insane... to stay sane... cuz... heh... and you'll think this is funny... that arm your sister or whatever grabbed... all I feel is weight hanging down my shoulder... hehe... I can't... heh!... I can't feel it at all! It's funny! IT'S ******** HILLARIOUS! HAHAHAHAHA!"
And with that, Pietro fell limp, the shock taking hold within him fully.

Magneto snarled at Charles. He noticed at the foot of his wheel chair, lay his seemingly unbeatable second in command, drooling like a child now that Xavier was done with him. Exodus had been a man who had commanded armies, mindraped dozens without even trying... and Xavier had laid him on the floor as though he were a novice.
"You might think you've won, old friend," growled Magneto. "But I've been training my mind... you wont take me faster than I'll be able to take you out!"
"Is that why your little double agent had to take me out first?" asked Xavier, simply.
"Precaution before you mindraped my children, just like you corrupted your own."
"Is it really so hard to believe that there may be others out there who accept an alternate point of view?"
"Please... my view is the only one that will ensure our survival, Charles. You are a fool, you are leading those innocent children over there out to slaughter."
"What happened to you was terrible, Eric... but those demons must die..." stated Charles as the scenery seemed to change all around them. The X-Men and Brotherhood, once wearing an assortment of civilian dress or the occassional bright costume, now wore ratty, woolen clothing. They were sickly, malnurished, dying. They represented the earliest moments of Magneto's life... the very thought he used to justify every action he'd performed since the moment he learned of his abilities.
"NO!" shouted Magneto as the image shattered, almost like glass all around him. "I will not fall for that old trick, you depraved b*****d! How DARE you try and use that against me?! You DARE call me the monster?!
He lifted his arm, snarling almost bestial as the metal within Xavier's wheelchair began to warp all around him. Xavier cried out in horror as the metal extended into a thin sheet, slowly covering his body from head to toe. Magneto panted, driven entirely by adrenaline, as he slowly smothered his old friend, caring not that he was a fellow mutant.
"Heh... I always told you... that if I was ever to kill a mutant... you would be the one... and when you look up at me from hell... see the world I create in your wake... my own utopia... you fool... FOOL! I am the one who will succeed! I am the one who will lead this world! You are nothing! NOTHING!"
****
Back in the real world, Magneto lay curled up in the fetal position on the floor, at Xavier's feet. He was locked in a fantasy... repeating the same speach over and over again. He mumbled very lowly... "Nothing... nothing... Charles..." It was a sight that would have been pathetic to even the most devoted of followers.
Xavier looked up, calm all the while in the midst of the fighting all around him. The Brotherhood was in disarray, yet his own X-Men were near mindless themselves in their lust for revenge. All because of this poor man's disillusioned view of what the world should be... this would take a long time to heal.
X-Men! shouted Xavier, telepathically to each of the X-Men. Calm yourselves now... these poor souls are beaten, and we will NOT sink to their level...

Efreet rolled her eyes when the two boys came at Forge and broke some bones. She never really liked to have her fun taken away and the boys seemed to have a better reason than her to beat him up. So she watched them and shook her head to the poor style and technic before going back to Freya.
The blond finally managed to remove the helmet but the goth was still as mad as ever. She did her best to calm her down but Wanda ended up pushing her away and ran to her father to finish the job.
Wanda didn't care about Xavier who could stop her at any moment with a psychic blast or Freya who could summon another spirit to hold her back. All she cared was to finally release from her hatred by killing the one who instead of protecting her sent her away. But something unexpected happened inside of her.
Just when she was about to give Magneto the finishing blow, she saw her brother in the corner of her eye. She froze and looked at him. She couldn't believe her eyes: her brother, who always claimed to be invincible, was in pain and in bad condition. His mumbling words were not making any sense at all except he still found a way to flirt in his current condition.
She then did something she never thought she would do. She hurried to him and put her hand on the shoulder of the girl who was carrying him.
"Tell me who did this to him," she asked the girl with a tone that wouldn't accept a refusal or a lie for an answer.

Theresa never really did like having to depend on others but at this moment she really didnt have a choice. She only watched as her wounds were mended to, then in responce to the question about the crutches Theresa begins to stand up, putting the weight on her good foot. SHe then floatd lightly into the air. "Hmm...I dont know if I will need crutches" She said as she stood in mid air.
While talking her voice was indeed loud and booming since her scream was what enabled her flight. SHe then sat back down. "Sorry I really didnt mean to yell. But maby crutches would be a good idea. WHat exactly happened anyway. The last thing I remeber was being tossed a large hole in the ground and falling through tthe stair?"

Jamie was still laying on the ground, he couldn't get up. He could still feel that jolt of electricity running through his entire body. Atleast he got Sonya distracted by that and she is not hurting anyone else, but still Jmaie is going to be in pain that hurts like hell for a while. He rubbed his face with his hands still on the ground and felt small burns, that really did most of the job for where the pain comes in. He noticed that all the X-Men stopped fighting, perfect timing for Jamie to rest, but when he heals he will look upon revenge against them all.
Jamie was glad Victoria "Sonic" was still next to him comforting him keeping him company. He wouldn't be right for Jamie to have to lay on the ground without any one next to him or around him fro that matter to protect him. Sonic could use one of her sonic screams if anyone(X-Geeks) comes near Jamie. He looked at her and let out a small smile, since the fight was really over, but he knew some would be badasses and continue fighting beating the crap out of everyone. That is what it was to Jamie "The Multiple Man"
He slowly lifted his head up from the ground and looked at the Brotherhood members left, most of them were beaten, but still alive. He saw Pietro, he was really in the same condition Jamie was in, but Pietro got it worse.
Jamie breathed in and out trying to pick himelf up from the ground, but he just couldn't it was just to much pain for him. He toughed it out breathing in and out feeling lot of pain that hurt like hell. He then picks himself up with the help of Sonic, nearky his whole body weight ws leaning against her his arm was on her shoulder picking hismelf up. He stayed up with one arm against her and the other arm balancing himself out. He picked up one leg that seemed to be broken from the electric jolt pulling him into the air dropping him to the ground falling right on his ankle(leg)

Sasha was worried by Wanda's question but didn't show it. She couldn't tell Wanda it was Sonya, or something terrible would happen to her cousin. "I wasn't sure," she lied, convincingly, "All I saw was bright light. It could have been that Cyclops or Jaime guy." Pietro was starting to say something. "Son.." Sasha stepped on his foot. "Oh Pietro are you okay? We better get you seated somewhere out of here," and the two escaped from the room.
Meanwhile, Sonya was in a trance, following Jean's telepathic voices. She went behind all the other x-men and laid down out of harm's way.

Markus had already evac'd the room. He was sure he'd get blasted for this later but, he wasn't dumb enough to try and attack that group right now. Not after Xavier crushed Magneto. Sure it was cowerdes at its finest but to him it was common sence.
