avalanche - "summers, summers, summers. honestly, when are you x-men just gonna keep out of our business?"
cyclops - "Dominic, your still mystique's lapdog? huh, i thought after the beating you got the last time you'd have left the brotherhood by now."
*that hits a nerve. avalanche roars and sends a shockwave towards cyclops. cyclops leaps against the wall, using it to dodge avalanche's wave and as he lands he fires a shot, which strikes avalanche in the shoulder, knocking him to the ground.*
cyclops - "give up dominic, please..."
*avalanche responds by bringing up a wall between the two of them. cyclops blasts through the wall, but by now avalanche has steadied himself, and brings up an earthly hand that grabs cyclops, preventing him from moving.*
avalanche - "ha, cyclops, leader of the x-men, an all it took was little ol me to beat you."
cyclops - "i don't think so..."
*he said, pressing a hidden button on his palm that opened his visor. a blast flew out, hitting avalanche in the face, knocking him unconscious. cyclops then cut throught the fist shape, freeing himself.*
cyclops - "almost too easy... now, to help the others."
*meanwhile*
*slab had caught colossus unawares, the russian barely having time to change to his metal form before being struck, he was on his knees, trying to recover from having the wind knocked out of him. all of a sudden slab grabbed him in a bear hug from behind*
colossus - "bozshe moi!"
slab - "so your the strong one then? huh, my grandma could take you"
colossus - "maybe comrade, but could your grandmother do this?"
*he said, breaking the hold, which threw slab against the wall. slab recovered quickly, and both men were locked in combat. slab landed several punches, but colossus was too strong and landed and uppercut to slab's chin, knocking him back across the room. slab as always recovered and charged at colossus, leaping thorugh the air... colossus reacted swiftly, catching slab and slamming him down into the ground, finally knocking him out.*
colossus - "you have fought well, tovarisch, but there could only be one victor."
*colossus said, dusting himself off. just then a blast came through the wall behind him, and cyclops appeared*
cyclops - "You coming, or is this your day off?"
*meanwhile*
*iceman had landed on his back but sprung up quickly. toad was bouncing around the room very quickly. iceman fired serveral blasts of ice, but toad was too fast, and again managed to knock iceman to the ground.*
iceman - "i dont have time for this!"
*toad lept again, but iceman was ready, he froze toad in midair, sending him flying into the far corner of the room. he just left the block of ice containing toad in the corner*
icean - "now maybe you can cool down ugly."
*he was about to freeze the wall when a metal fist cam through. it was colossus.*
colossus - "ah, i see u have dealt with the little man."
iceman - "was there ever any doubt?"
cyclops - "come on you two, we have to find ragnard."
*off the three went deeper into the castle.*
