Cathy was still a bit numb. "Yea....just give me a minut for my ears to stop ringing..." She looked at him then got up. "She's mental......I have no idea what's wrong with her...." She shook her head noticing everyone going after her She then noticed Rachael running towards the school a robot hot on her heals. "I suppose we aught to go and save her....."

That's it little one... follow this way... come with us, we're you're friends. We're not ones to abandon you... to inhibit you... to hold you back...
Kidd smiled as she led a younger version of her Mistress to their hidaway. Though Sonya was blocked from seeing it, a fairie made of psionic energy danced around her head... indicative of Kidd's signature telepathic technique. Her "fairies" had the uncanny ability to appeal to the brain's innate desire to embrace a world of fantasy... and then quickly ensnare the victim's mind, allowing her to control their every action.
"She's on her way, Trevor," she said to the green-haired man who was behind the assault. Rage was also there, looking human for now, though he had the ability to draw mass from an extra-dimensional source, allowing him to gain almost limitles strength. But it was Trevor Fitzroy who was truly the important one. After all, he was the only one who could get them back once this was all over.
"Good... with any luck the Mistress will be brought to power even earlier than usual this way... and we can keep her accursed brats from ever having been born. Hell, judging from the readings we've eliminated one of the fathers from the timestream already... if we keep this up the Mistress wont have any resistance at all."
Rage muttered. "You know, we could always just seize the power for ourselves..."
Trevor growled. "Don't be a fool... you dont have the power to even come close to securing the kind of life the High Mistress has given us, nor the intelligence. You should now that by now... and if you utter any words of treason again, I'll not only suck you dry, but I'll drop you off in the most s**t-hole era of time imaginable."
Rage shivered. For all his strength, he had no defense against Trevor's power... and he had a first-hand view of the time when he sent that member of the XSE to plague-ridden Mideival Europe. The movies had never even come close to showing just how horrific those times were.
Meanwhile, an insect-like probe observed the trio. They were surrounded by dozens of inactive M.E.C.H.A.I.N.S, though they seemed ready for battle at any moment.
On the other end, Forge watched dilligently. His body was now more machine than man... but his mind was as sharp as ever. His tech was arguably more advanced than what the trio had brought from the future, though he was still interested in analyzing their mechs.
"Now what is all this, Master... they seem to be taking an interest in our 'battery' as well..." he spoke softly to the comatose body of Magneto, floating in a vat of fluid...

"Yes, we probably should," Morgan replied, readying his katana. "Rachael, get down!!" Morgan shouted, as he ran towards her, and the robot. He leapt towards them, and as she ducked so that Morgan wouldn't knock her over, he sailed over her, twisting his body in midair to add a bit more power to his swing. The blade connected with the chin between neck and body, driving deeper, and severing important wiring and tubes. More coolant sprayed from the "wound", as the blade tore deeper into the neck, completely severing the head. The robot dropped to the ground, the bluish coolant dribbling out onto the ground.

"Huh...what?" Victoria, finding herself in another pout mood, was snapped out of it when Sasha mentioned the words "Ana", "marriage" and "Kris" together in the same sentence. She narrowed her eyes and thought about it until is made any sense. "You mean," she said aloud, "that Ana is gonna end up marrying that guy in the future?!" She peaked over the wall and looked at the pair of them just as they entered and started manning one of the robots. Sure, they looked OK together, but she couldn't get past that fact that he was about 10 years older and the fact that she was from the future too....was just too friggin' weird.
"Yeah...he's way too old for..." she paused. It was just that instant in time when yet another robot sprung into it's "KILL KILL KILL" routine when Raze finally decided to stop being a wallflower. In one fluid motion, he pulled off his gloves and jacket and spring into the air supported by bright crimson wings. His hand too burst into an even brighter orange flames which he used to melt through and subsequently defeat the robot. It was just then when she realized her mouth was open slightly and quickly knocked it closed. Gracefully, he flew off again leaving her immediately envious of whoever his girl-friend was.

Sasha couldn't believe what she saw. Sonya had just attacked one of her best friends. And then flew off. "Sonya...."
Ana smiled. "Pretty powerful aren't they," she smiled. She then saw Sonya take off. "Sora! You and the other flyers go after her. The rest of us will take care of the remaining robots." She then turned the robot around and began fighting some more.
Sora was surprise to see what her future mother had done. "It's beginning.." She nodded at Ana's orders. She took to the sky with Raze and Pietro underneath.
Sonya, under Kidd's control, was flying towards their hiding area. "It looks like we have some stray trash," said Kidd. "Get rid of them," ordered Trevor. Sonya turned around to face the others. She looked down at Pietro. Her body was increasing in static. She was ready to attack. "No mercy," said Trevor.

The fight quickly separated Wanda from her future grown up niece. She saw Shiva get back on her feet and attacked the robot that cracked her face. From her angry expression, Wanda took note to never pissed off Freya's spirits either.
Her hex powers were weak againts those anti-mutants machines. However, if their metalic compound was pierced, she could easily dismantle them from the inside. So, every time someone managed to scratch one of the robots enough to expose the wires, she sent her hex powers in it, no matter the size of the hole. But she couldn't help but worried a bit about Freya.
"Ewww... That is disgusting," said Freya as she walked away from the battlefield. "I hate it when I slipped in transparent, oily and smelly liquid."
She tried to keep herself on her feet but always ended up on her behind. And it was hard enough for her to get back on her feet since she was totally covered in the robots's oil. "I hate the future. Always too robotic to me."
As she took another attempt to stand up, she saw Sonya being led away by a couple of strangers. "H-Hey! What are you doing you two?!" She tried to give a heroic impression but only ended up falling on her face. She growled.
"SONYA! WAKE UP YOU DUMB GIRL!"

Markus saw her turn on Peitro. "SONYA!!!!" He shouted at her still running at her. "Wake up...please...." He had no idea what was going on in her head right now but it looked like no one was home.
"MOM!!! STOP!!!" He shouted at her. He was fairly certain he knew who was now behind this. "Damn them...." He groweled knowing that this was the point were she killed Peitro in their timeline. "PIETRO MOVE!!!"

Rachael hugged Morgan. "Thank you!!!!!" She gasped panting from all the running. "Ok, now what?" She asked looking around at the chaos around them.
"Take it easy girly.....he's mine...." Cathy said as Rachael hugged Morgan. She was only teasing naturally. "If I knew how to properly use a sword I'd ask for one of those myself...."

Pietro waited until the very last instant before turning away from Sonya, allowing her electrical blast to strike the ground harmlessly. Rather than attempting to attack Sonya directly, he began circling rapidly just underneath her. The resulting vortex not only held Sonya in place, but it also sucked the air out around her. It would choke her, but more importantly, remove the air needed for her to create an arc, rendering her incapable of projecting electrical blasts.
Pietro's words echoed through the vortex. The source was impossible to determine, as he was moving far faster than the speed of sound. "Snap out of it b***h! Don't make me kill you!"
A few hundred yards away, Fitzroy's small party watched the spectacle. "Well now... the boy's pretty clever, and judging by her hesitation she doesn't quite have the killer instinct she'll have in a few years..."
"Well it wasn't telepathy that changed her..." said Kidd, amidst her concentration. "It was that inventor mutant... the one who tried to use her as a power source and ended up dead for trying that made her 'see the light', so to speak. After that, she wasn't the same... which I suppose was pretty good for us..."
"Well we'll let those events happen soon enough... for now just don't lose control on her Kidd... I'll help her out in the meantime."
Trevor's mutation naturally allowed him to drain the energy of other living things through touch, and convert it into a quantum portal that allowed him to move through time. However, thanks to his "Mistress", his armor allowed him to use his powers in even more effective ways. He extended his arm in Pietro's directly, and calmly sensed his energy even as he ran about. He smirked, and began to use his powers at a distance.
"If I recall, this brat was the first one our Mistress killed, after all," he mused.
In what seemed like an instant, Pietro went from mach speed, to barely being able to stand. He coughed blood and stumbled, falling at Sonya's feet, who looked down at him quite angrily.

Sonya stared down angerly at Pietro. kill him, kill him. He took your cousin away from you. His father turned her against you. His father's servant tried to use you. He never wanted you around. Kill him. Sonya raised her arms.
Sora gasped. "Don't do it," she begged, "Think about Sasha and Ana. How will they feel if you were to kill him."
Sonya heistated and lowered her arms. But she then launched a huge jolt at Raze. Then one at Sato, Markus, and Sora. "Don't follow me," she warned. She was ready to fight anyone left standing.

Markus didn't have a chance to say anything. Instead he was thrown back by the bolt. "Erg!" He hit the ground and managed to get up to his feet. "Sonya...please....don't do this...." He said panting. "This isn't you and you know it...you'd never want to hurt anyone...."
"Don't listen to them mom..." Sato said getting to his feet slowly. "They're trying to use you. Like they did back in out time. They want you to run to them....so they can kill you...." He said looking at her. "And in your place....they'll put a monster.....who'll use your body and powers to destroy everything around it." He waited a bit. "Please!!! Fight off his control....he's lying to you....he isn't your freind...."

"Hello there mate," said Trevor with a chuckle as he seemed to appear out of nowhere beside Sora. His leg swung out, reinforced by composite armor to deliver a kick powerful enough to knock Sora back several dozen feet. His armor allowed his abilities to be used with the same effectiveness as Ana, effectively allowing him to use his powers with split-second reaction time, making him untouchable in a fight. On top of that, with the amount of energy he was able to draw from Pietro, he wouldn't be losing his charge for quite a while.
"Don't hold back young Mistress!" he shouted as he charged toward the group of young X-Men. "Just listen to those voices in your head, they'll lead you to a world of luxury you can't even imagine!"

Raze, through some freak miracle, managed to drop down below the blast, but he felt it sizzle against the back of his neck, and he was pretty sure that it singed off a few hairs. "Sonuva- Dammit, Sonya! Don't let them win!!" he shouted, still circling overhead. And that's when he spotted it. The tiny, speck of light dancing around Sonya's head. And the girl who seemed to be keeping her focus almost entirely on her. It didn't take a rocket scientist to put two and two together here.
"You little... LET HER GO!!" Raze shouted, diving out of the air towards Kidd.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Morgan, meanwhile, was helping to clean up the remaining robots. "Stupid,"-SLICE- ",bloody," -SLICE- ",robots," he said, between chopping off various limbs and other appendages. The robots may have seemed strong, but they had some serious weak spots.

Wanda's heart stopped when she saw Pietro fall at Sonya. She didn't care if the girl was controlled. She looked ready to kill her brother.
While Sonya attacked the kids, Wanda used that moment of distraction to try and zap her far away from Pietro but she barely moved from the impact of the hex ray. Wanda could barely controlled her anger. Her fists were shaking. Her eyes were filled with an incredible determination. Objects started to float around and got deformed in any way possible.
"Do. Not. Touch. My. Brother."
"I would listen to her if I were you. Even I can't stop her when she's like this," said Freya as she slowly got back on her feet. The spirits around her were going crazy and she tried to understand what they were saying.
"Speak more slowly. I don't understand..."
She managed to decipher a few words but the whole message was still a blurr to her.

Blood red eyes turned to look towards the others...focusing mainly on the one who controled electricity. With a snort, then a roar, he charged at her going full speed. He didn't care who she was, all his mind thought was Kill Kill KILL! And he wanted to kill anyone who seemed threatening to his raptor senses. He had no human logic in his Berserker form...only simplified, primal instincts.
