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. ]]

That's...uh.

That's a look.

Leo isn't much for fashion, but he settles for very smoothly drawing his swords with just enough of a florish to suggest that he knows where to draw the line at stylish without being ridiculous.

What do you know about stylish, Leo? You don't even wear clothes!

At any rate, Feliks goes ahead and rushes out to meet them, determined to slow down (and deeply embarrass) as many as he possibly can before this night is out.

Simplicity looks good on anybody!

And Leo's right with him, although his goals run less towards embarrassment (unless it's "I'm embarrassed to have had my ass kicked by a fifteen-year-old") and more towards knocking out anyone who has the bad sense to get in his way.

[OOC: Since we're getting into backtag-land here, I want to check with you -- would you rather put some NPCs in this thread, handwave that they fought together, or handwave that they went their separate butt-kicking ways?]

(ooc - handwaving that they kicked some butt together is good with me! I could probably stand to wrap up a few things so I can keep myself in the present.)
niepokonany: (But it's just the price I pay)

[OOC: And so, offscreen butt was kicked!]
