	Churgen's the Morlock leader...? IC: Nat Tavoris Morlock Tunnels Nat listened intently as Devil Dog gave her the rundown on the mutants ahead. She didn't really understand the tattooed guy's history - having no idea who Titania or 'The Absorbing Man' were - but she did get the gist of it all. Churgen - that name was familiar, but Nat had no idea how so. Someone pretty high-up, undoubtedly, to have a powerful mutant like Luxxa as a lieutenant. Devil Dog glanced at her midway through his explanation; Nat just nodded to indicate she was still listening. As the Morlock guide spoke, Dash ushered off the two injured mutants. Now the ball was in Karra's court ... Nat bit her lip. Was she really going to let Megawatt go? From what Devil Dog said, he was dangerous and would probably to attack when he was freed. Karra, it turned out, had a better idea. Nat watched as, instead of disappearing, the energy cage expanded until it covered all three mutants - and then suddenly, the trio was flying down the corridor like a plane off an aircraft carrier. "Whoa!" Nat exclaimed ... a little louder than she meant to. The youngster winced as the tunnels echoed her voice back. Probably didn't matter with the bad guys gone - but it was still pretty dumb, since sound carried rather far in enclosed spaces and there was no telling who else could be nearby. Nat had wondered what powers Karra had ... well, now she knew. In fact, she seemed overqualified for bodyguard duty.

	Lazer & Nightfall New York City, Lower East Side, Con Edison Power Plant Nightfall's memories had not betrayed him. Emerging upon the room of his memory, Nightfall immediately noticed that it was no longer an archival room, but a maintenance storage area, and a pretty large one at that. It didn't look like it was used very often, as the objects stored here looked outdated and had been left here to be put out of the way more than anything else. Perfect. This place could serve as a temporary safe house. They would have to be careful, but at least here, if anything came after them, they would get an early notice. Over by Lazer, he noticed that Spider Girl slept soundly and was looking a whole lot better and healthier than she did less than an hour ago. Lazer was curled up next to Spider Girl. He could see that even now, she was looking after Spider Girl even though she looked as if she was ready to pass out herself. NightFall quickly checked out the room. He locked the door. At least if someone came in, the sound of a key would give them enough warning to hide. Later, he would check for a restroom, and other essentials, but right now, he would not leave the two of them unprotected. After he scanned the room, he slowly walked back over to where Lazer was fighting to stay awake. He scrunched down, looking at the two. He then reached into his pocket, and pulled out a candy bar. "Here. You're going to need this." He reached out, and gently kissed her forehead. "Get some rest. You've been busy. I'll stay awake and guard us for the first few hours." he then smiled. "Promise to wake you up for the next shift." Lazer wrapped her hand around the candy bar, too tired to even consider eating it now, but she gave him a huge smile. "Make sure you wake me up, ok?" she said softly, even as her eyes started to close. NightFall simply murmored 'yes', as he watched Lazer fall asleep, and then he stood looking around. For many long minutes after she had fallen asleep, he simply watched her, gently stroking the hair from her face as she slept. Reluctantly, he finally stood up, and looked around. He found an old blanket to cover the two, and then stood watch over the both of them, a silent statue brooding over the both of them. They could get supplies and the like later, for he would not dare leave the both of them now, so vunerable. He hunted around for an old radio. Perhaps he could find out what was going on outside, while he stood watch. He hoped Spider Girl did not mind that they now knew her face, but considering the alternatives, he could only hope that she would be calm when she woke up. NightFall breathed in deeply, as he waited for one of them to stir once more. TAG:GreyJedi125 Shifter Genosha, Underground Dome, Battle Arena As the crowd cheered him on and Shifter basked in his moment of triumph, the bodacious Jazz came back out with the winner's coat and belt, which she dutifuly helped Shifter don. With that done, she kissed the new winner fully, then waved and smiled for the cameras. The crowd went wild, but Shifter had not noticed. He was still buzzing from the Kiss that Jazz had given him. And he didnt even get slapped!! Oh, yeah, he could get used to this ort of thing. Shifter was in a daze as Jazz lead Shifter to the winner's seat. "You did well for yourself." The beautiful hostess told him as they walked back inside. Shifter grinned, "Thanks." Jazz continued. "3,000 credits have been forwarded to your account". Jazz graced him with a smile as the came around to the winners box. Shifter was trying not to let his eyes bug out in amazement. That was better than regular ring fighting anyday. He almost missed Jazz add, [i]"I'm to keep you company for the rest of the matches as a symbol of your victory. I hope you don't mind." Shifter turned his head to look at the beautiful woman. "MIND?! Heck, let me get something to drink, and It will be durn near perfect, darling!" he said with a grin. The security team let them through the VIP area and in after a left and right turns, they were both in the Winner's balcony. The camera was once again on them and folks cheered some even screamed his name and asked for his autograph, which of course Shifter was happy to give. This almost felt as good, as when he had kissed Grennie. He enjoyed the spotlight for a moment, and then took a seat, just as the announcer started back up. ["AND NOW LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! THE DEMONSTRATION BOUT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!"] Shifter wished this was a regular battle, so he could bet on in. But taking pics would be good enough. He turned around to Jazz and asked..."uh. They gonna sell pics of this? I'd love a copy." The announcer interrupted him again. ["TONITE, WE HAVE THE FORTUNE OF SEEING AN ARENA FAVORITE TWICE IN ONE EVENING. YOU KNOW WHO SHE IS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN....AND NOW, I GIVE YOU, THE ONE AND ONLY.....MIGHTY ESMERAL-DA! BOO-YA!"] The ensuing roar of voices was down right deafening as Esmeralda walked out once again into the arena. Man, she looked ticked. 'Come on, Greenie, crack a smile', he thought to herself. The announcer spoke back up again. ["HER OPPONENT....EXCUSE ME, OPPONENTS FOR TONIGHTS DEMO EVENT, ARE NONE-OTHER THAN.......RAZOR ANGEL AND ATOMIC REAP-ER!!!"] Thunderous stomping and clapping followed. Shifter sat back in his seat, doing his best not to grin from ear to ear, as he watched them all come out. Greenie took off after them so fast, she left smoke behind her. "Dang!" Shifter muttered softly, as he watched her. Razor fairy immediatey took to the sky, while the Atomic hockey stick, ignited his Scythe, which turned incandescent white with flames, and began to move in a flanking position. "Wish I had some popcorn, and a coney dog..." Shifter muttered, as he leaned forward to watch the battle to come. He looked down for a moment, so none could see the huge smile on his face, before he looked back up to watch the slaughter. Tag: GreyJedi -----signature----- I am the Hunter in the Dark.

	IC: Eagle's Breath Location: Comm Room Nodding his head when appropriate, and sometimes when not, he groped his way through the tutorial. If asked he probably could regurgitate the entire speile from memory word for word and gesture for gesture, to explain what it all boiled down to in meaning...beyond getting a message out one wasn't about to get much more outta him. He only hoped Six was doing better with all this jargon then he and could serve as translator. Before the tutorial was officially over, however, a message was coming through. ["This is the 'Turbo Charge' to 'Silver Lady' can you read me. I repeat, This is Turbo Charge to Silver Lady, can you read me. over?"] Looking over at Six and Jocasta he nodded once, "Your Silver Lady I take it, not very imaginative but still flattering. Six if you would?" He waited while Six made the preps to establish contact and when they were connected he replied trying to sound military in tone, though more succeeding in sounding like a piece of machinery in need of lubrication from too much grinding, "Turbo Charge' heh, I may see a 'Silver Lady' but," Then with a quick cough from no longer being able to hold the voice any longer, "I'll take the message as she is busy cutting a fine figure in half a dozen places. 'Silver Lady' nearly prepped 'Turbo Charge', may I ask though. Who thought of 'Turbo Charge', what are you doing creating code names from a muscle car calender?" noticing the look he was getting he recomposed himself. "Just a moment, Ea-'Silver Lady' awaiting." making a motion to mute his end of it he turned to Jocasta and Six, "Want to add your two shells? or one of whats next?"

	IC: Six "Na, I'm good. However the sooner we finish our mission the better, so maybe we should get to work soon." Six said, he then stepped forward to the controls. 'Now what were the commands I was supposed to enter again?' he thought, he then looked at the panel closely. 'Bingo.' he added, he then punched in the proper codes. "Ok communications are running. Now what?" he asked. TAG: Eagle's Breath -----signature----- "When 900 years you reach, look as good you will not."-Grandmaster Yoda, (Return of the Jedi) GM of When Galaxies Collide: A Major AU RPG

	IC: Buzz London Alley Buzz stared at the paper intently. His eyes scanned it quickly and he read it again in disbelief. Buzz continued to stare at the paper for quite some time. He was faintly aware of a heat in his hands, as the paper burst into flames. The ashes crumbled to the ground and, without a paper to read, Buzz watched them. He looked up. Without awareness of what he was doing, Buzz spoke in Gaelic. “Am I to assume my name is Akio?” Buzz clapped a hand over his mouth, where had that come from. He spoke in Japanese. “Can you take me to this gathering?” It may be the only way to find out who Akio was. Tag: Grey -----signature----- I don't know.

	Jaya Marxx (Raven Hawk) Grand Central Station, Booth T-A27655 Though nervous and anxious all at once, Jaya managed to summon the nerve to swipe her card. Nothing seemed to happen for one second, which probably caused her heart to skip. Then the small screen winked. [Identity comfirmed. One moment please...] read a message as it appeared on the screen. Less than five seconds later, a familiar symbol emerged on the screen, followd by a new message. [Welcome to the Xavier Institute Emergency Remote Access Network, how may I be of assisstance?] The prompt came up for Jaya to begin typing. Seeking directions to the hide out or contact with someone. She typed as her nerves was stillgetting the best of her. She hoped she didn't look to obvious. She took a deep breath and looked around once more to see if anyone was looking her way. Cmon get it together Jaya...nothing is gonna happen. She told herself as she waited for the rewsponse to come appear on the screen.

	IC: Erin Mathews Erin sat, listening, as John attempted to use the communication systems. The first time, it seemed to have failed, for some reason. She frowned slightly. That was...worrying. "I'll try it one more time before I start getting paranoid." She looked around the room, before returning to her own thoughts. There was a nagging worry- what if this turned out like at Xavier's? What if there was more conflict? The group was split up, in a place with very peculiar security systems. This could get bad. Hopefully, it wouldn't.

	Please read the whole update. Thanks INVASION! Buzz: London Alley Buzz had read the scroll, then said something in a language the shinobi before him did not understand. The second thing he said, he said it in japanese. "Can you take me to this gathering?" he asked of the darkly clad shinobi. <Yes> responded the messenger ninja. As he got up, the morning london skies grew dark, so dark in fact that it semed like night had suddenly descended on them. Then the city emergency klaxons began to blare! Slowly ever so slowly, a tride of noise rose all around them. A shout came from nearby, then another and another. The sound of rushing traffic grew as well as automobiles began to race past down the street. It was the sound of the begining of chaos. The dark shinobi looked around, then seemed to listen to something in his ear, then he looked surprised as he tapped his ear. Whatever he'd been listening to suddenly went dead. He looked up at the sky and pointed as a word of amazement escaped his lips. Something impossibly huge was bloting out the skies over London, and small lights like a cluster of angry hornets seemed to be buzzing underneath it. <We have to leave the city immediately.> The Shinobi said to Buzz, his voice quite grave. <It has already begun> Tag:NICK ******** Jaya Marxx (Raven Hawk) Grand Central Station, Booth T-A27655 The lights went out throughout Grand Central Station for all of a minute before emergency lights came on. Some people began to act alarmed while others invariably panicked, and the law enforcement presence was suddenly very busy keeping everyone calm and under control, or at least trying to. Somewhere in the distance, somebody screamed. The small screen before Jaya continued to flash it's neon colored information, oblivious to what was going on all around. [The route necessary to reach the underground camp has been downloaded to your cellular phone. Please follow the path without deviation. Mental attempts to contact an academy telepath is strongly suggested once you have entered the underground maze of tunnels. This transmission will end in 10 seconds. If you wish to view this information again, please swipe your ID card now.] Behind Jaya, a crowd of commuters rushed past as they tried to leave the station. An even larger crowd was rushing behind them, all in the verge of panic. There's no power to the trains! our cell phones don't work! Something is blocking the sun! It's a total eclipse! The whole city just went dark! Get-outta-my-way! Jaya was picking up all manner of half-sentences and such from the throng that rushed past her. Police walkie-talkies went off in the distance as well as bull horns calling for order. All to little effect. Whatever was going on seemed pretty massive and serious. Perhaps it was another terrorist attack. The city never did recover from the last one, even though it took place more than half a decade ago. Never the less, this was a perfect opportunity for Jaya to slip into the tunnels, or follow the crowd and find out what was going on. Tag: Teeg ******* Knightfall Marty was between assignments and was enjoying a bit of downtime at the moment. He was resting in his latest hide-out, doing what he always did as he checked on his sister's condition. It was a daily ritual he never missed. He always kept himself updated on the ups and downs of his hospitalized sister. Nothing else in the world was more important to him, however, this time, something he hoped never happened finally took place. The connection between the his computer and the hospital was suddenly severed. Every attempt to reconnect failed, as did any attempt to connect to any major server. It was as if the entire world-wide-web simply ceased to function. Even cell phone communications were down. If Marty ever had a bad feeling in his life, it did not compare with what he was suddenly feeling now. If he could get any information on emergency channels, he was not going to like what he would find. Tag: Darth Elu ********** Oni NYC Streets Her driver stopped suddenly and the whole city seemed to go dark, as if night had covered the entire region. None of the traffic lights seemed to be working as traffic came to a halt. In no time at all, the chaos of a massive traffic jam ensued. Emergency response vehicles were trapped where they were and were hard pressed to move. Oni's driver tried his radio...and it was dead. "Mistress....I think something has happened." The driver said as he rolled down the window and looked out. His face suddenly looked astonished as he exclaimed loudly and opened the door and stepped out of the car. "Mistress, I think....you should see this." Never before had Oni's driver seemed shaken, by anything. If he'd gotten used to her, then there was hardly anythig that could move him. But apparently something just had. Her driver was speechless as he just pointed skyward. The entire sky was covered by a black mass. It felt as if something massive was about to fall on them and crush them utterly, yet, it was still far away. A veritable host of pin-pricks of lights darted back and forth in the sky. There were also fixed points of light upon whatever was blocking the sky. Back in the ciy streets, people were begining to panic. Tag: Ktala *********** Nightfall Downtown Manhattan, Con Edison Power Plant Nightfall pondered in silence as he looked after the sleeping forms of Lazer and Spider Girl. They looked so peaceful. Not a care in the world to disturb their much needed rest. It was a scene that deserved no end, but that would just not be reality. A peculiar sound caught Nightfalls attention. It was the sound of silence. It was just too quiet. The usual hum of the power plant was no longer a distant background noise, for it was completely absent now. The only sound that now pierced the air was that of distant sirens. Upon exiting the small housing, an astonishing site would greet Nightfall. The whole city was under the cover of night, or so it would appear, even though it was still daytime. Not only that, but nearby residents seemed to be panicking, loading up whatever belongings they had unto their vehicles only to speed away and be absorbed into the ever growing citywide traffic jam. The shrouded city did not affect Nightfall like it did these others. He was used to darkness, unlike them. But in addition to that, perhaps there was something else that caused these people to panic and despair. Lights in the distance descended upon the city, however, their movements were not random, but orchestrated, and they moved in groups. For now, none of these events seemed to touch them, but like everything else, it would only be a matter of time before it did. Tag:HP ************* Morlock Tunnels There was a moment of silent astonishment after Karra quite effectively got rid of their three assailants. Everyone seemed to be looking at her with expressions of surprise. "That was...Amazing!" Luxxa said finally, smiling braodly at Karra. Now that the coast was cleared of baddies, Devil Dog approached the group of heroes as he clapped lightly. "I wouldn't have believed it if I had not seen it with my own eyes." The guide said. "Is everyone in Xavier's Academy this powerful?" He asked, still in awe. "Almost everyone..." Godshade interjected, giving Devil Dog a sly smirk and a wink. "oh!" Godshade chuckled and Luxxa joined in. "Well, we better move from here. I'll report the incident so patrols can be fortified against any reprisals, should those three seek to strike back at us." She said in general, then looked to Nat and Devil Dog. "You two seem to be in good hands." she commented with a smile, as she made reference to Karra. "Hmph! I'll show e'm next time..." Godshade put in. "Count me in..." Bad Boy chimed. "Don't be so hasty to see battle..." Luxxa admonished. "We see to much of it as is. Friend against friend, brother against brother. I long for peace, but I will defend my people and those less fortunate with my life if necessary." A sad smile came over her face, but she quickly dispelled it. "Alright, everyone get back to your respective duties. Make your reports and travel safely." Devil Dog nodded his good-byes to Luxxa, Godshade and Bad Boy. Then proceeded to lead Karra and Nat to the surface as he promised. The rest of their trip was uneventful, that is until they reached the surface. Although it was suposed to be daylight, the city was plunged in darkness. A massive shadow blotted out the skies. Panic seemed to have overrun the streets, and there were groupings of low flying lights streaking over the city. A small cluster streaked above their position, and they clearly could see a quartet of small pod like shapes with wings in "X" formation, colored as black as night. It was the brillinace of their after burners that made them so noticeable. "What in hades...." Devil dog said in whisper, his disbelieving eyes and senses reeling from what he was seeing. ".....is going on?" No immediate answer came as the ambient sounds of incipient chaos washed over him. Tag: Ktala, Xan **** Mc Taggert's Lab John was in the comm room, Erin in the monitor room and N'dare, Alastor and Mc taggert in the Lab when the power failed. Everything went dark for about 30 seconds before the emergency power brought everything back online again. "What in the world...?" Kincaid exclaimed aloud with alarm. "Moira, what happened...?" he asked his computer. His down-graded version of Jocasta answered in her mature voice. [The local power grid is off-line.] "Off-line? what do you mean off-line? I mean, what's the cause?" [unable to determine at this time.] "Unable to determine?" Kincaid looked at Alastor and N'dare as he spoke into his hand-held communicator. "Is everyone alright?" he asked, as the sound of his voice was heard in every room the team was in. ["Yes..."] John responded from the comm room. ["...but I can't seem to pick up any comm-signals anymore. Someone at the Mansion answered, then we got cut-off."] "Monitor room, is everyone Ok? are you picking up anything?" All the monitors in the room Erin was in had comeback online. The power outage had been brief. Except for the emergency lights, everything seemed normal. A second glanc revealed otherwise. Through the monitors, it seemed that night had fallen outside. The sudden change in atmosphere landscape gave the scene an eerie look. Though nothing showed in the monitors, Erin could feel mounting feelings of anxiety coming from outside. Multiple sources in fact. Over a dozen. Just then, Mc Taggert's entire team got a telepathic communication from Sage. //John, everyone. You have to get out of there. Jocasta informed me that the armor you captured is sending out a locator-signal. Mac Taggert's lab is ill-suited to counter it. I'm picking up multiple enemy signatures surrounding your area. Proceed with caution.// To John, Mc Taggert and N'dare, Sage added a few more details to her message, expressely concerning the shadow that was now covering the city. They were in enough danger as it was, but they were not going to be caught unawares, not if she could help it. [WARNING: EXTERIOR WALL INTEGRITY COMPROMISED. ESTIMATED WALL BREACH IN 67 SECONDS] "What!? which wall? Computer, show me which wall. Lab monitor ASAP. Why haven't you activated defenses!?" Kincaid yelled, trying to keep calm. [ANTI-SECURITY VIRUS PROGRAM DETECTED. ATTEMPTING TO PURGE. ESTIMATED WALL BREACH IN 58 SECONDS.] The computer monitor in the lab showed the area where the breach was to occur. The wall of his study on the south-west end, which was the least defended. How did they know? [ESTIMATED WALL BREACH IN 49 SECONDS] "I have a secret tunnel here in the lab. If everyone can make it here, I can seal the bulk-head manually, that ought to buy us some time. Everyone! to the LAB!! HURRY!!" John spoke quickly to Robert as they ran to Mac Taggerts lab. He didn't necessarily dislike Mc Taggerts plan, but he believed in having more than one option. [ESTIMATED WALL BREACH IN 36 SECONDS...] Moira continued the countdown as the situation at Mc Taggert's lab literally grew more intense by the second. Tag: Rilwen, Khan Icey, Ktala ******** Xavier's Mansion Sage stared at the psi-imaging screen in disbelief. A tear welled up in her eye as she saw what was happening in every major city upon the face of the planet, including New York. She had never felt so helpless in her life. The INVASION they had been warned about had come, but it had happened alot sooner than they had been foretold. Many months sooner. Something had happened to make things occur differently, but right now there was no time to figure it all out. Mc Taggert's Team was in danger, and she'd barely had time to warn them. "Eagle's Breath, Six, Naomi, Hawk, Shadowspite. Everyone, please assemble in the danger room....." Sage said, addressing her team mentally. Outside, it seemed like night had fallen, but the ironic truth was, the Mansion was now probably one of few safe places on the planet. Sage waited until everyone got into the Danger room before having Jocasta project a realistic image of herself there. For now, she needed to remain with Cerebro. "I don't really have the words to describe it to you, so I'll just show you." Sage said without preamble. "Things have changed suddenly, and we must adapt to these changes." A ceiling to floor screen appeared and a projection of the globe was seen. "Keep in mind that this is real time footage. Jocasta, show an aerial view of each major city in alphabetical order. Begin at 20 kilometer radius and pull back." The screen shimmered and the aerial footage began to show. London, New York, Paris, Sidney, Tokyo. Over each metropolitan city around the planet, a saucer shape of indescribable proportions loomed, nearly 30 kilometers in diameter. The shadow cast by these saucer-shapes encompased over a 50 kilometer radius. "There is no other way to say this. Earth is being INVADED...." Understandably, silence followed as the footage continued. Sage knew what the others were feeling. She had experienced it close to two years ago, when a traveller from the future had come to them with dire news. Tag: Mith_Fisto, Chanbill, Darph_Nader ******** In the City State of Genosha, life continued undisturbed. ********** TAG: EVERYONE. If I haven't included you in this UPDATE and the current scene somehow affects your character, respond anyway.

	IC - Buzz London Buzz glanced up at the sky, with the ninja. His eyes widened, soon followed by his mouth. He was momentarily speechless. Buzz looked over at the ninja and regained his ability to talk. "What the hell is that?" Buzz had spoken in English. He shook his head and looked back at the sky. His words came out in Japanese. -What the hell is going on? What has begun?- Buzz thought for a moment and spoke again. -How are we going to get out of here?- Tag: Grey -----signature----- I don't know.

	IC: Eagle's Breath Watching the scene unfold he gave what he felt was the appropriate moments of silence and respect for the gravity of the others situations that were stuck living on this world, in this dimension. Not being bound to it he was faced with a delima of his own, if it weren't for these people and the chance of their helping his memory he would have simply skipped planet and left it to fend for itself and check back in, in a few hundred years when the situation would have inevitably settled down. Maybe sooner on occassion to guide a few in danger to safety if he was moved so, but in no way would he stay to fight for what he wasn't even attached to. "I'll stay and help you whelps." Personally it was a bit of the noble side shining out, but he couldn't let that be it. "But I expect my mind returned to me all the sooner and no post-poning starting the process because of a 'dire' situation. If I stay and fight to the possible death, I better be able to do so knowing full well who it is that is dying and who I should expect because of it."

	IC: Six "I'm ready to fight, organic ormech, I should be able to do some damage." Six said. "Let's just hope we don't have to much to deal with here, I mean a couple dozen at a time I might just be able to deal with, but any more than that will be pretty dodgy." he added.
