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. ]]

"A little bit. Huh."

Well. Perhaps it'll be okay. Perhaps it'll be like when he was younger... A spot calmer (though calm is relative at the moment, when he's listening out for trouble) -

"It doesn't switch off. No matter what. I can't touch electronics without burnin' them out, I can't touch people..."

Yu grimaced. "I'm sorry to hear that..."

He then thinks for a second, and reaches out to poke Kanji in the shoulder.

Yu's parents invested in a lot of socket covers when he was a toddler. And plastic forks.

It takes Kanji a moment to register that this idiot is even-

"The hell did you do that for?"

He whirls away from the contact. The thin fabric of his pyjama top might be enough to stop Yu from getting a full blast, but it'll definitely still be enough to give off a nasty spark...

No I didn't clear this I'm just trying to apply physics to comic books

There's definitely a spark there.

In a totally literal way, don't worry.

It was a bit like touching any two live wires together, given that they're both conducting electricity through their skin...

...but fortunately, Yu doesn't feel any pain from it. He thinks for a second and decides it didn't even really jolt his teeth or anything.

"I think it's alright if we're both conducting," he explains, a good few seconds later than he really should have. "We just make a loop."
realmenknitplushies: (WTF)

It's how I thought it'd work, so OK.

Wide-eyed, somewhere between alarm, frustration and wonder, Kanji stares as he realises what's happened and as Yu explains.

"I - I - don't do this, man! You don't want it!" Dumbass - why would he - Kanji just told him what his power means, and he still copied it?
yu_mad: (building plamo alone in my room IS cool)

Yu resists the urge to pat the taller guy on the shoulder. No need to risk starting a fire.

"Yeah, I can see how this would suck to live with," he admits. "Right now though, it's way too useful not to use, right?"

Kanji sighs. Glares. Still, what's done is done. More mildly annoyed now, maybe a little saddened, but his heart's not in it -

"You're a dumbass, man. A real dumbass."

He shakes his head.

"Whatever. Let's do this."
