Welcome to Gaia! ::

Back in his Lab, Mister Sinister was monitoring the fight through his modified homing pigeons when his feed was mysteriously cut out short. He his smile turned into a angry frown as he waited for the implants in his subjects to self-repair themselves...after all there was a biological aspect to Nathaniel Essex's engineering skills.

"How anti-climatic. So disappointing. I was rather looking forward to further testing..." he said as he folded his fingers together as his eyes flashed a crimson red for a brief moment.

"Vertigo!" he shouted and looked off to the right as the mutant known as Vertigo arrived before his throne like chair and awaited his commands "Retrieve our assets from the field. Put on a good convincing show. Deal with Deadpool if necessary." Getting up out of his chair he pointed with his right index finger and uttered "Now...Go!"

Vertigo didn't answer him as she simply nodded and walked through the portal and it closed behind her.


Back in Central Park Gambit saw this individual suddenly shape shift into a woman similar in appearance to Rogue. Taking one of the cards from the deck he was playfully shuffling, it began to glow a bright magenta color as he began to charge it with kinetic energy. He began to shout out to TarSi and Sabretooth "Sorry, Mon Cheire but..." Then the sudden arrival of Deadpool startled him as he was about to finish his sentence...then suddenly from behind coming from the trees and bushes Vertigo sneaked up behind Gambit raised her arms and began projecting her psionic distortion waves.



Gambit it feeling extremely dizzy and nauseated dropped the card he was charging and was about to throw along with his playing card deck. When he hit the ground due to his dizziness, his cards scattered amongst the grass and leafs. He began vomiting and blacked out at Vertigo's feet. She grabbed him both by the collar of his jacket and his body armor and began dragging him into the trees and bushes as she shouted out "Hurry up Sabretooth! Time to go!"


Meanwhile, Sabretooth had his arm pulled back ready to slash TarSi across his or her face and body. He didn't care nor it did not startle him that his target from the beginning shape shifted before his eyes. As he was about to strike he smelled a familiar scent to him, and felt the cold metal edge to Deadpool's Katana against the skin of his throat.


He growled for a brief recognizing it was Deadpool by his voice and scent. "You're right, Wade. They ain't the runt...but you'll will do!" Turning and pivoting on his right foot moving in between the space Deadpool, his arm, and his katana, he brought both of his arms back above his head and swung them back attempting to connect with a hit across Deadpool's chest, hoping to lacerate him. He heard and smelled in the distance, Vertigo, who had arrived dragging away Gambit. Shouting back to her, he replied "No way honey! I'm just getting started!"

Mutation: it is the key to our evolution.
It is how we have evolved from a single-celled organism
into the dominant species on the planet.

Jean felt something disorienting within the vicinity. Giving a shake of her head, a sense of vertigo seemed to linger in the air around herself and Gambit. Watching Gambit toss his cookies and collapse to the ground. She sensed that someone else had caused this feeling. Leaning against a tree nearby, she watched as the known villain, Vertigo get her hands on Gambit. All bets were off then. So much for appearing like one of the normal people within the area caught at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Jean's emerald green eyes flashed into a iridescent tone as if a button had been pressed. Setting her mind on striking at the very core of Vertigo's cerebrum with a psychic blast. The action alone paralyzes Vertigo's muscular and circulatory system, by causing Vertigo's muscles to freeze in place with the inability to move forwards as well as cause a sudden drop in blood pressure (syncope). A temporary loss of consciousness and posture, described as "fainting" or "passing out." Jean wasn't particularly in the mood to fight, let alone kill. So she took an alternative route, by making sure Vertigo would not be able to proceed in the attempt to remove Gambit from the scene. No one was going to kidnap an X-Men, no matter what the circumstances were with some members that have become distant as of late.

This process is slow, normally taking thousands and
thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia,
evolution leaps forward.

Deadpool took the full slash off Creed's claws, blood spluttering from his chest. He took a few steps back and hunched over. Owchies! I just got this suit back from the cleaners you lame excuse for a He-Man villain! As he coughed blood a number of pins fell to the ground. HOW ABOUT SOME CAT-n**! Wade shouted as threw several grenades about the ground at Sabretooth's feet.
