Christian sighed, and hoped Amelia wouldn't be mad. He set the charges, and propped them near the door, and swung it open, "Hey, ladies! Come on in and get me!"
The advancing horde charged the door, as Christian raced to the back or the shelter, and took cover in an opened crate, rolled it, and braced for the explosion.
Mr. Sinister hovered in the sky above, recognizing the mutant gene-joke as Ravage, former general of Apocalypse. He grinned evilly, than disappeared.
He emerged seconds later, near the side of Apocalypse's throne, "Sir, I have news..."

"Here we are soap, underpants, plants, oh my," Iada said, "Oh it's normal to feel a tiny bit queezy after your first port."

Kevin took a deep breath, trying not to throw up, "Remind me to not do that again, kay?"
Cole sat on his knees, hands on his head, "I'm with you. Next time we take a bus."
"Sir, I have news..."
"Go on, Essex," Apocalypse moaned, his invading voice penetrating Sinister's ears like a bass, "I have skirmishes on my borders, and two of my slaves have disappeared. What news could you have that might harbor my attention?"
"Sir, Ravage is the one who freed Alden and Berger," Sinister informed him, "He's the one who has been attacking your depots. Would you like him brought here?"
"No," Apocalypse said, a sick smile forming on his grey face, "I've no need for him: Stalk him. Tear him apart. And bring his remains to me. He shall be the example set upon those who dare betray me."
Sinister smiled, and bowed, "Of course, my master," he said, disappearing again, and heading for Christian's hiding place.

((tryin' to jump back in!))
X-T stad hiden above where Sinister was walking to. She did the calculations, having been taught a very long time ago. Just one flip and a strike would do.
"I only got one shot at this..." X-T said softly to herself, steading herself on her feet in a crouched position.

"Awww well there goes the plans for our first date," Iada said grinning devilishly at Kevin and Cole before disappearing again.

Kevin spun around, "Well Hell, where'd she go, and where'd she leave us!?"
"Don't worry about it," Cole replied, pointing to the large Citadel in the midst of the city, "That's where Christian said everyone else with a chip on their shoulder was goin', so that's where we're heading, to."
Elsewhere, Christian shoved the charred crate off of his throbbing body. His ears were ringing like a dinner bell, and it dizzied him to sit up. He looked about, and saw nothing but smoldering bodies, and other mutants loyal to Apocalypse writhing in pain.
Mission: Accomplished.
"Ravage..."
Sinister.
Christian turned on his heels, and noticed a lone figure standing amongst the flames, halting, "Hello, good Doctor."
"I've orders to drag your body back to Apocalypse, and hang you from the chamber walls."
"Thanks for the offer, Sinister," Christian smiled, steading for an attack, "But I've got better things to do tonight than die!"

((ha, nice line *looks at sig* ha!))
X-T growled, her teath gleaming. She jumped down, did a flip, and landed behind Sinister. She extended her claws as she almost felt herself foaming at the mouth.
"Th' only body we gonna drag t' Apocalypse is yer's, bub," X-T said with a smirk.

Bamf! "Okay so what did I miss?" Iada asked appearing on a streetlamp above Sinister, "In time for cake and ice cream I hope?"

Sinister hid his startled jump by spinning on his heels, "Ahh, X-T. Another gene-joke who has taken it upon herself to defy Apocalypse. Too bad, you would have made an excellant addition to my Marauders, had you lived long enough to see their inception after Apocalypse's defeat."
He primed a plasma blast, and aimed it at Iada, and another from his burning red eyes at X-T, "But you seem to have interrupted my mission, and that just will not do!"
Christian slugged him across the back with a hard haymaker to the base of his neck, "Like usual, you talk too much, Sinister. You might have had a chance against me alone, but it seems I got friends in high places," he said, pointing to Iada and X-T.
Sinister scoffed, "Ha! You're weary from battle, and your friends, weak. You'll offer me little resistance, and I'll still have my corpse!"

"Allie uoop!" Iada laughed jumping into the air and disappearing before reappearing on the ground in a crouched postion, "Come on try again that was fun!" she begged.

Sinister flashed his pointed teeth in a gnarly grimmace, "Begone, child of Xavier! I don't have either the time, nor patience, to toy around with you. Leave me with Ravage, and be on your way!"
"Don't call me that anymore," Christian cried, lunging into battle with Sinister. He held back at first, waiting to let Sinister land the first punch, thus giving Christian a stonger retaliatory attack.
Sinister ducked the first few volleys Christian sent at him, and fired a plasma blast directly into his chest, sending him hurtling into the distance, "Fool."
Christian landed in a heap, and skidded, that hurt more than I thought, he said, trying to move after the shot. His ribs ached as the plasma burned at his skin through his shirt.
Sinister turned his attention to Iada and X-T, "I said begone! Let me finish the job!"

"Okay let's see what's wrong with that shall we?" Iada asked appearing on Sinister's shoulder, "See Christian there is the interest of one of my friends, so if anything happens to him I'll get in trouble. Plus I like you you're cute in a creepy clown/spider way," Iada grinned before bounding over to Christian, "Want an energy boost?" she asked.

Sinister's eyes flashed, as he muttered under his breath, "Cute?"
Christian drug himself to his feet, and wobbled before standing on his own, "No. Sinister and I have a past of ill-content. If we're gonna throw down, I want to beat him on my own power. Thanks, though. 'Preciate it."

"Okay, but if you need help you can always tag team me. I kinda was wondering how he would react if he found himself hanging by his knickers on Big-Lip's tallest tower," Iada said looking a little disappointed but dropped back to lket Christian by.

Christian nodded silently, and began walking silently toward Sinister, a look of sheer intent on his face.
Sinister grinned, "Come than, have at me, boy."
The mutant once known as Ravage stopped ten feet short, and kicked his foot to the ground. A peice of wooden boarding flew up and Christian caught it, and swung it with all his might. It made a b-line at Sinisters face.
Sinister's eyes went wide, and the board struck him in the forehead. He swung back, trying to lessen the blow, but the momentary distraction was all it took for Christian to be all over him.
"This one's for Zeb," he smiled, crushing Sinister's face with a devastating fist to his nose. He followed it with a kick to the abdomen, which sent Sinister off his feet and crashing into the ground, groaning.

Raphael had made it into the city, Jasmine was some where near by keeping an eye on him. He walked straight up the main way towards what looked like a collossal fortress. Raphael took the hammer he had forged himself off his back and swung it at the great doors, knocking. "Apocolypse" He yelled, "I have a debt to repay to you..." Raphael had never been a mutant, had never fit into Apocolypse's plan, that is why it seemed so fitting for it to be him to bring the beast down. He took the hammer and swung again striking the great doors.
"Come out you coward, or have you grown weak in this era of less strife?" Raphael had chosen his words well, trying to find ones that would agrevate the hideaous beast that dwelled within.
"Come and teach me my place Apocolypse, show me what room you have for you Pravus."

Sef followed behind Raphael but stood out of sight. If Apocalypse sent out his guards first Sef would step in and destroy them. If Apocalypse reared his ugly head Sef would let Raphael fight on his own.
Sef moved from his last hiding spot to one near the door and watched to if Raphael's student, friend, daughter was safe on her approach when she made it.

As Raphael moved into the city, Jasmine rose from her position and ran, low and quietly, to the city as well. She had to move if she was going to keep an eye on him. Through the headset, she heard him yelling, and sighed slightly. "There goes a covert attack." Positioning herself inside the city, she perched in a broken building and watched Raphael beat at the doors. Then her eyes caught movement. "Watch out, movement at four o'clock!" she whispered loudly into the microphone.

"Christian," Amelia said as she saw the tower explode and tried to run in that direction only to have her mother's staff block her way, "Let me go, he's going to get himself killed!"
"Amelia we have a job to do. You're young still, you haven't had time to realize that if you love someone sometimes that means you can't going running to them to save them when their in trouble. Everyone has their own battles to fight and sometimes the person you love, if they know that your safe that's all they need," Iris said struggling with the words to explain how she was feeling too, "Now come on we have to free the slaves."
Amelia nodded and the group set out again.

Sinister stood up, and put his face into Christian's, "You're brave, Ravage. Brave but foolhardy. You know I am the strongest, and wisest of Apocalypse's council. There isn't a logical way you could beat me."
Christian tilted his head, and nodded, "Yeah, you're probably right." He looked past Sinister to Apocalypse's fortress, "But I really don't have to beat you. I just have to hold out for about five more minutes."
Sinister's eyes widened as he realized what was happening, "You clever little maggot," he laughed, "You were a distraction! I'll warn Apocalypse of this, and watch you burn!" He turned and lifted off the ground.
"Whoa, no you don't big fella," Christian cried, as he grabbed Sinister's cape from behind, and yanked him back down to the ground violently, "Can't have you put a damper on this lil surprise party just yet."
