The Ashes of the Phoenix [OPEN]

WHO: John Sublime, "No Girl", the U-Men, and their unfortunate target... The Insitute
WHAT: Sublime's U-Men attack the school. They're aiming for the sublevels. Stop them at all costs!
WHERE: Throughout campus
WHEN: Past midnight, Wednesday-Thursday
WARNING(S): Gonna get violent.


The time was now. The media attention over his followers actions was too much. And after all, Xavier's little henchmen in London had figured it out. He was sure of it. There was no more time to bide. No more room for hesitation. It was act now, or the revolution would end in a prison cell, festering away in the disgusting care of this unclean world. Sublime couldn't stomach it. Couldn't fathom it. And whatever god help those who stood in the way of him and his dream of Homo Perfectus.

"All units are in place," Sublime whispered, peering out over the immaculate green, covered in moonlight, staring a drilling, piercing hole into the mansion. "Martha... it's your turn now," another whisper, as the floating apparatus before him, holding a strange glowing orb, began to shine even more brightly.

Just like that, the security systems failed. And just like that, Charles Xavier gasped and sent out a short, psychic burst to all X-Men, perhaps to everyone in the school, before he was overwhelmed and silenced, collapsing from his bed to the floor, stunned into sleep by a psychic force even he was not prepared for.

"This is it, Martha... our dream... U-Men! Bring me the Ashes of the Phoenix!" And like that, dozens of the men from the blurred video that Glamour and Spy had managed to obtain swarmed the ground, organic and mechanical, using a plethora of stolen mutant powers, attacked.


[[ This is it! Our first major action post, and in X-Men tradition, it's a direct attack on campus. Feel free to start your own threads. The U-Men will be NPC'd by the mods. Their ultimate goal is the filed away genetic samples of Jean Grey in the sublevels. They must be stopped, before someone uses them to integrate Jean's powers into a U-Man. ]]

Seeing someone falling towards him, and shouting an order cleared enough of the anger that he could - almost - think. Absurdity apparently did that. Which might have seemed odd to him, were he in any consideration to consider the larger absurdity that lead to this situation in the first place.

He snapped out a wing under where the other was falling. "ARM'S TOO SHORT!" he called with a roar that shook the area around him and probably hurt the ears of whoever could hear him. A hint of smoke issued from his mouth as he spoke, but - thankfully - fire did not join it.

He hoped this guy was on their side at least... He wondered if using his wing as a trampoline would hurt. Weird things to wonder. His eyes shaded, slightly, more towards orange, though they were still undeniably red; the color muted some and no longer looked like molten death.

Dick somersaulted so he hit the spread wing feet first, thankful for once that he's not big and fairly light despite the fact that his body has almost no fat and all muscle. Just before he springs off the wing, he yelled, "Sorry!"

He really hoped Tiamaris' wing wouldn't break.

He swung his large head in an arc to watch the flight of the other. Odd, his wings helping someone else fly. He really hoped this person was on their side. He wouldn't have apologized if he wasn't though, right?

Unless he was confused too. In this chaos it was a little difficult to know who was defending and who was attacking. He only knew two people by sight here, and couldn't find either of them...

His eyes were now almost as much orange as red, and he shrugged and decided to just focus on attacking anyone who ran towards the building, and wanted to use violence to get him out of the way. The - probably dead - body in his talon was forgotten for the moment.

Moments later there was a loud explosion in the sky as the U-Man Dick was tangled with had his gear detonated by a bat bomb on his back. The undisguised Boy Wonder meanwhile was free-falling while laughing with glee at his success, shooting off a grappling hook into the school building so he wouldn't meet the ground with an untimely end.

His now orange eyes flicked up to see the other for just a second. Laughter had struck him as odd, given the circumstances. Well, at all really. He had no experience with the laughter of other people, except in fiction. But they were all in danger, why was that funny? He flicked his eyes back to his own battle, trying to focus.
