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. ]]

Not school issue, no, but he did get it from a teacher five years ago. His literature teacher, of all subjects. This is a weird school.

... Huh. Useful. "Cryokinesis -- creation and control of ice." There has to be a way to use these together.

The weirdest, it would seem.

Kanji nods some more: "'Kay, that works." How to really put the powers together, though? Still, zapping stuff and freezing stuff isn't a bad combination.

Well, a boarding school for mutants sure isn't going to be anything normal. After a while, it's surprising the things you can get used to even if you'd had a completely mundane life before you'd gotten here. Giant sentient turtles, people turning invisible, accidentally blasting holes through walls . . . just a day in the life.

He moves ahead, not a blind rush, but quickly enough; he figures Kanji will fall into step pretty quickly. "How good are you at controlling its strength? I'd rather avoid killing anybody if we can help it."

He's fought before, he's hurt people before, but he's never killed. If it has to be done . . . well then it has to be done. But he'd prefer not to.

"Yeah, me neither. But..." and Kanji sighs here- "Okay, I ain't the best at keepin' it under control. Last time I fought someone using my powers, really fought... it got kinda ugly."

He shrugs slightly. Not a lot he can really say about that - far from his proudest memory, after all, but it'd made sense at the time.

He isn't going to get angry with anyone over killing in what he assumes was self defense, whether intentional or not. Early on, powers are hard to control; Toushirou is probably lucky that one of his early flare-ups before coming to the school had only nearly caused another kid to lose his arm. In theory, his cryokinesis could be a lot nastier than that.

"Just keep as tight a leash on it as you can." He'd like to tell him not to actually fire it at anyone, but really, how feasible is that going to be here? "Maybe we can just get 'em on the ground, I can freeze them there and we just knock them out after."

Kanji gives a solid nod. "Alright. Sounds like a plan."

As much as he might want to burn a few of these assholes down, and they definitely deserve it more than his last targets, he knows it isn't the greatest idea in the world. If they can get them knocked out and incapacitated without actually risking killing... yeah. That's definitely a better solution.

A couple of sparks flicker around his fingers. "Let's get them."

Toushirou is oddly detached from a lot of violence in general, but not having an actual kill count isn't something he's eager to change.

They're not quiet enough in their approach, and one of the attackers appears in the doorway suddenly. Damn speedsters. Toushirou manages to evade the fist that swings out for him, though; this jerk may be fast, but his aim stinks and Toushirou is a small target anyway. He ducks under it, and his first instinct is to kick at the guy's knee to send him off balance.

It doesn't connect, but the job is kind of done anyway; the U-Man hadn't been expecting the counter and needs to awkwardly dance out of the way. Hey, as long as the guy stumbles, right?
