The Ashes of the Phoenix [OPEN]

[thethirdspecies]

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. ]]

Kyouko didn't verbally respond, she just nodded and did it, putting about 20 decibals of 15khz on both sides of the man's head. She wasn't sure how the hearing on those scary helmets worked, but she figured if she just kept pushing up the gain, she'd get results eventually. Her own ears vibrated as she worked, hoping the prince had a good plan for this.

The moment the sound got to a level that caused the man to falter Miko rushed forward and, with a bit of reluctance unsheathed her sword which she had brought with her, swinging it as hard as possible against the mans helmet, though at an angle to hopefully hit the side of his head and knock him out. She didn't particularly want to kill anyone and wasn't sure of whether it would simply cut through the rest of the mans gear or not.

There was a major peculiarity about her sword though, not so much that it was extremely sharp, or made of the highest quality metal a man could obtain on the planet for a weapon, but the fact it was a gold colour. It seemed even in battles she had to show off.
