X-Men Roleplay

One told him of Lilandra being here and close by, the other warned him of the trace possibly being something or someone other than Lilandra. It was a trap either way, the sign was either to draw them in or by Emma's vision it is to lure them in. Scott had a decision to make and two opposing opinions between two opposing women; his wife and whatever Emma was to him. Is it too early to call her a friend? Is she just his psychologist? The one thing he could define her as would be an X-Man, but he feels closer to her than the majority of the one-timers that join. Would she even be here long enough to establish herself as a genuine X-Man? His mind couldn't wander for long seeing as he had a mission to focus on. Scott turned to his designated telepaths for a little direction. "Emma, Jean, I'm going to need you two to help come up with a decision, should we inspect the planet like Gladiator requested or flee from here out of the chance of this being a trap? Guide me you two."

~I don't know how much time has passed since my character, The Armor-Clad Man, has attacked Naomi. Would someone care to elaborate? Let me know if my post is time accurate.~

Naomi was happy. Ever since the Armor-Clad Man left the school, in a most uproarious way, she was good. She found out what her powers were and with the help of Jean Grey and Professor Charles Xavier, two very powerful psychics, she met her mother on the Astral Plane, where she learned the history of her family and powers.

Every woman born into her family was is and will always be born a mutant. The first woman, Anita, was an offensively powerful force. With her brute strength, indomitable will and a natural ability in the art of fisticuffs, she was a leader. There was none who could stand against her. Nor did anyone want to.

No one could say that Anita was anything but a hero. Even in the 1650's, where were only seen and not heard, men respected her. However, a man by the name of Corin felt the exact opposite. For no reason at all, her wanted her death. And he had the means to do just that.

Money was no object in Corin's eyes and he wasn't afraid to use it. He had a suit of armor made that was enchanted by a being from another world. The enchantment made the suit of armor indestructible and capable of enhancing itself with the equipment needed to make the wearer a superb tracker and gatherer.

When the armor was first used, Corin was not expecting anything but what he paid for. But once he put it on, his desire for Anita's death was intensified to the point of his inability to focus on anything other than what he truly wanted.

Anita put up a more than admirable fight. But seeing that she had never encountered anything of the sort, she was brutally murdered. Corin had his victory, but little did he know that Anita had a fifteen year old daughter. No one knew what a mutant was and no one knew what powers would manifest. But Anita's daughter began to demonstrate the very same abilities as her mother. She went unnoticed by Corin for more than three years.

When the day came for Anita's daughter's vengeance to be exacted, Corin was unprepared and quickly killed. Anita had been avenged. Centuries passed and with each death of Anita's female offspring, the powers were passed on to the next inheritor.

Naomi's mother then told her that the predecessors were to train potential successors in the use of their abilities because, just like Anita, Corin had predecessors that were learning how use the armor for the sole purpose of killing Anita's family.

After leaving the Astral Plane, Rouge, Beast and Wolverine took it upon themselves to train Naomi in the use of her powers, seeing that the Professor told them everything telepathically. Luckily, Naomi was a fast learner. She took to training quickly. Her new friend, Caleb, noted that she was more than a lethal weapon. She had to be because in the back of her mind, she knew the Armor-Clad Man was going to come back. She would be ready for that, however.

Logan walked out of the ship and groaned as the smell of decay was so intense, he had been around comparable levels but the various alien smells made it seem worse. He tried to sniff out lilandra but saw that either her scent was being masked by the other smells if she was there and they would have to get to a different spot before he could really pick it up. He listened to the different results of the two telepaths and since both seemed to think something was on the planet he felt they might as well go look since it was the only lead they had. "I'm deciding for you Summers, we're looking since this is the only lead we have. We can't risk it being her and us leaving like that, maybe it is a trap but when has that ever stopped us before"

Santo just shook his head and smiled as Esmee seemed intent of attacking him. He began to copy their movements and speech mocking them as they talked until he was slapped by Celeste. His head was turned and a few small fragments chipped off the side of his face. He smirked and grabbed her placing her over his shoulder. Right as he did it he saw Jubilee show up "o hey , Jubi-useless, I'm just gonna punish this cuckoo for hitting me" He then sprinted away with Celeste over his shoulder, he was running down the hall towards the boys dorms. He planned on knocking on all their doors to get them out, then ripping her clothes of and running away. He just had to make sure to get their quickly, which wasn't a big problem since he was surprisingly fast for a guy made of stone.

A foot stuck out from behind a corner just as Santo passed, and to hopefully trip him. Seanna smiled and stepped into view. "When the X-Men are away. The students will play. But little Boe Peep is always watching." She smiled and stuck a fork full of stir fry into her mouth. "Whats going on?"

Rei walked out the ship looking bored, half bored and half tired. She looked out the area at all the dead body's, rubbed his right eye with the palm of his right hand and looked around again. at the dead body's. It wasn't the first time she has seen a dead body, but it was the most he has seen all in one area. Rei was surprised none of these x-men made any comment of the dead body's, they must be used to it by now. He leaned against the ship and just observed them for now.

"I'm all for foiling the plans of our enemies but this time we have a few things holding us back. We're hard pressed for time, Rei is here with us and we have a desperate Strontian ordering us around. I say we should turn around if we know for sure that it's not Lilandra but you are right, it's our only lead and we should follow it with hopes of success." The other thing holding them back was Scott's physical state but thanks to Emma he's fighting his fatigue a lot better now. He hoped that this wasn't a trap, he didn't have the time to fend off the enemy and protect Rei at the same time.

Santo continued running with Celeste throughout the school until he was randomly tripped by Seanna, he started to fall but caught himself and turned around to face the woman. "The hell is your problem lady. Can't you see I'm busy" He tightened his grip on Celeste to make sure she couldn't simply squirm away or anything. He had no idea who this lady was, he had never seen her before but she looked older then most of the other students around.

Jubilee folded her arms as Rockslide called her useless.She was going to blind everylast one of them to stop this but it Seanna had it covered.In true the cuckoos could have taken care of him alone.At this moment it wasn't in his best inrest to get pounded by 6 girls and 1 woman.Jubilation gave an smrik when Seanna stopped him.She unfolded her arms and placed them on her hips as she shifted her weight to one side."I think pebbles her got the idea he is BamBam.We all now how much of an bully he is but he's forgetten just how close me an Logan are.Don't worry Rocky.He might just an nice bird bath out of you."Jubilee had a sinister grin on her face the whole time.

Jean looked over at Cyclops."I know what I picked up.It's her alright.No other Shi'ra brain patterns are on this planet.From what I'm senesing there's only four females on this planet also.Emma,Rie,Myself and last Lilandra.Logans right.We should still check it out.If it is an trap then we at least have taken an step to finding her."

Hey One-eye... Rei said referring to Scott. Me being here should have nothing to do with holding you back. I can battle as well and defend myself. Don't under estimate me, got it. He said looking away, at more bodys. She not only have to protect himself during these battles, but she also seems to have to protect her pride and not let them think he some package with glass in it, careful not to drop. Rei wasn't usually this upset, but the more she was with them the more he didn't like them.

Rei was surprised Jean had sensed him off as female. Rei never cares at all what gender people call her, but being was surprised Jean used her telepathic powers to say sense him off a gender. Hey uhh...Jean......nevermind...
Can you sense a Gender in the first place? Rei kept quiet about this for now, but what if Jean picked off a fourth female in this planet, and that it wasn't Rei. A hidden enemy could be here.

Jean turned to face Rei.She must have upset him in some form.Truth was she was picking up both genders from Rei.Maybe his or her shapeshifting powers had that effect on telepaths.It was rather simple telling what was what since the thought patterns of both genders were different.Rei's little comment made her think.What if infact this Lilandra was an shapeshifter who could take on the mental patterns of it's subject perfectly.She stood competly still thinking and taking an second look in the psychic realm.

Jean gave her guarantee that it was Lilandra and that was all he needed to reaffirm his decision. He trusted her vision and continued leading his team towards the destination Jean pinpointed all the while hearing Rei trying to convince him that she was useful. He didn't find her useless, just that she couldn't be much help here. "Rei, we're not here fighting average street thugs, these are other mutants that can and will kill you on the spot. A simple punch or kick from you won't do. I've done my research on you, you can only be a physical copy of someone. You don't inherit their powers or anything. There is absolutely nothing you could do at the moment if we were to be attacked, but don't worry, I'll personally help you get better when we return."

Rei saw Jean look at her, he caught the glance and quickly looked away not wanting to have eye contact with the telepath. Reading Rei's thoughts wasn't something Rei would let Jean do or get curios about.
Tch...good work you did your homework. You now see my best job is doing things like spying, but that job was recently stripped from me. Rei continued following them, behind them but still close. That last thing she wants to hear is about how he slowed them down as well from just traveling. She would turn into some kind of traveling animal to make things easier for the team, but being some kind of package mule for the team wasn't something he'd liked to be labeled as. Helping them at this point wouldn't make her happy at all.

There's no way Scott can help her powers from any better, so he's probably trying to get some kind of hopes up but it wont work on Rei. How better can he be on shapshifting, it's not like she leaves big mistakes like a extra tail or wrong eye color. Even then, how can a person like Scott help her with things like that at all. Once they get home, they won't make the mistake of bringing Rei again anyway now that Emma has called him out as some kind of failure.

All Rei can hope for now, is there will be a moment to her to shine, a time when all that is left is Rei to be there, or Rei saves a life, takes over Emmas job. Hoping for that kind of chance, is all Rei can do for now as he watches the team continue walking the road ahead of them. But as Scott had mentioned, those chances seemed to be slim. And the more she thought about it, the lower his own morale was getting.

Jean who was now floating next to the team kept an eye out for any movemet ahead of them.This place was nothing more than an grave yard.Every now and then the smell of the rotting flesh would rise to her nose causing her to almost gag.This was hundreds oftime worst then Toad's breath."Well good news is the signal isn't so weak anymore.Bad news is we still have a ways to go with this smell before we find her."If this land was almost coved with the dead bodies of these two races then there would be weapons on the ground also."Rei....look on the ground.Your an shapeshifter but I'm sure one of these bodies must have an laser gun or something you can use."

Angelus shifted slightly on the sofa and exhaled in a relaxed tone as the movie progressed. Reaching over to the open bag of chips, she took another small hand full and ate them slowly. She was a very big fan of 'me' time, especially on weekends.

"Unhand me, you filthy rat" Celeste growled as she struggled in his grip. Her sisters had dashed after her right away, until the point when they realized Santo was faster than them. "Drop her! Sophie placed two fingers against her temple and mentally gripped Santo, taking control of his arm and had him drop Celeste. Celeste screeched as she dropped hard onto the ground on her stomach "Oh,you have done it now, rocky!" The Cuckoos snarled as Celeste got up on her feet with Diamond arms and took a hold of Santo, lifting him violently over the top of her head. She looked up at him and smiled as she threw him over to where her sisters were, and Phoebe took hold of him, her too now with Diamond arms and she dropped him onto the floor "You apologize this instant, golem" She spoke angrily as Celeste had ran up to them and the five formed a circle around Rockslide.

"You did not even last thirty seconds with Jean back in the mansion, Rei, and that says a lot. How do you really expect you will do against an planetary imperial warlord? Be honest to yourself and stop being so damn proud. It is your life as well as mine we are talking about, not some honor or awesome mission" Emma asked as she stepped over a corpse, looking at Rei as she walked. Did this child really think that all it was good for was fighting and spying? It was depressingly pathetic. It was obvious that the X-Men had not given her any training at all, or the wrong type of training. Of course, they had probably told her how good she was, boosted her confidence and trapped her at this lowly stage of her potentials. If this child could not settle with being given the most simple of orders, to stay with the group, then what hope did they have if she were sent to the leaders of that Hell-hole? What if she was asked to kill someone, or asked to do some type of activity only a Shi'Ar would be able to or people equal to them. No, Emma was not going to let this child screw the whole thing up. Not until she was good at what she did.

She looked over at Scott then. Emma felt no confidence at all in exploring that mind they sensed, since she herself did not sense any Lilandra. Jean had probably met Lilandra before. Could Emma have mistaken? No. Emma was right, she knew it. There was something so very amiss with everything right now. She did not even need her telepathy to tell that. If it was this easy to find Lilandra, Gladiator would have done so a long time ago. With his speed and his hearing, it would take him a few seconds at most to search this planet. Although perhaps he did not trust his own abilities enough.
She looked over her shoulder as she continued walking. Before Gladiator left, he had heard Vulcan, Terrax and Tempo. He never said anything, but Emma was in his head when he heard it. She had chosen not to tell the X-Men about it, mainly because they did not need to know until it was too late. Furthermore, in order for Emma to properly infiltrate, it was best if she knew things the rest did not. She could prepare then, find an opening. Increase the credibility. Perhaps give that Jean a well-deserved slap across the face and the child a sample of what power really is all about.

Emma turned her head to look ahead again. It was not far now until they would reach that mental signature. Given the powers of Vulcan, Tempo and Terrax, it also should not be long until they were here. Especially with Tempo being able to speed up the already very fast Vulcan. What an uncomfortable combo of villains, two beings of great power and Tempo to worsen the scenario. Emma was glad she did not have to take much beating from them, at least should her plan prove successful. There was one problem though. Rei had heard about it and someone like her could slip the word quite easily. Emma took a deep breath. She did not trust the child one bit. She would have to remove that memory from its mind.

Santo realized he had stopped for too long once his arm began to move uncontrollably, he tried to resist it but failed in the end. he had a shocked look on his face when he picked up and thrown to one of the other girls. "Hey I'm the strong guy here, you can't throw the strong guy around." He was then thrown against the ground and sighed as he looked up at the others. "Well this sucks, and is really unfair. It's like 7 against one now, come on girls I'm sorry" He stood up and stretched even though he didn't need to, it as possibly just a habit from when he was younger. He walked over to Sophie and placed an arm around her ignoring the fact that the girls were around him in an aggressive circle. "Come on, Phoebe let me make it up to you. I'm sure we can work something out." He had no idea he was speaking to different girl then he named, and was just guessing really.

Logan walked behind the others as they talked about Rei and Lilandra. He just wanted them to hurry up and get this task done, he was sniffing the air hoping that he could pick up a known scent but hadn't yet. He tuned in for a second and heard Jean mention a weapon for Rei. He took the Katana and scabbard off of his back and sped up to Rei. He tapped him on the shoulder and spoke. "No need for that Red, Rei can have this sword for now. But Rei be very careful that sword will cut through just about anything, and is magical in a way. Don't fvck up and cut one of us, or let the enemy get it. If it looks like they will, I'll knock you out and take it myself."

Rei just gave Emma a quick glare. Sure he didn't last long with Jean, i mean she is a cheating telepath and also the lover of who Rei impersonated, both of those are hard to beat. Especially combined together. Emma shu... Rei growled to herself lowly and stopped, telling someone to be quiet is another way of giving up. He held his head and continued walking and grumbling. The more Emma talked, the more Rei looked like a fool in front of the others, especially Scott.

Jean was right, a gun might be good for her. Maybe he can mis-fire and friendly Ms. Frost. But mostly to try and learn how to use it, maybe she can be a skilled gunner. There is a few forms Rei already thought of that can be pretty handy with a gun.

But the marksman idea stopped as soon as Wolverine gave him this mystical sword he's lending her. A swordsman might be good as well, and this one can cut anything or so wolverine said. She nodded at wolverine Thanks, this will be useful. He gave wolverine a smile and continued walking while holding the sword by the blunt side.

"I am Sophie, creature" Sophie said with a frown and slid under his arm and backed away from him "We're listening, pebble-brain. How exactly-" Esme started, but was briefly interrupted by Phoebe who raised her hand "I'm Phoebe" She spoke and Esme turned to look at her and then back at Santo with a sigh, rolling her eyes "-are you going to make it up for us?" She asked, crossing her arms while staring intently on him. Not long after, the other sisters did the same and simply crossed their arms while staring at him.

Vulcan and his team followed his brother very closely, he knew exactly what they were getting themselves into. He didn't know who's idea it was to continue searching such an open and desolate planet but he wasn't one to complain. He and the others would launch their attack after the X-Men have been worn down.

They closed in on the signal and in the distant horizon appeared to be a throne where a seemingly bulky figure sat in deep thought. Each step brought them closer to the finding out who sat before them, each step they learned how everything would soon start going wrong and there was no turning back now. The man stood from his seat and shot them one of the most sinister grins they'll ever see.

"Kneel before Thanos!" He snarled, but none of them would bend a single knee to him and this angered the Mad Titan to no end. Scott made sure he stood stalwartly proud and fearless. If this truly was Thanos then they were in for the beating of their lives. "You will not bow, then I shall assist your suicide." He raises his left fist in the air and energy starts shooting out in all directions. Each blast hit a dead soldier and they started moving slowly. They were pretty much Skrull and Kree zombies here to do Thanos's bidding. "Attack mininons, feast upon their flesh and bring their bones to me!" It seems as if Thanos has been using these dead warriors as his own personal army and the X-Men were their next target.

Scott was thrown off, but prepared to fight and give it his all. He couldn't believe Jean was wrong. Was this the Phoenix playing tricks on her and the rest of her team? Scott forced his body to keep moving and stood beside Rei. "First lesson in your combat training is to not get hit, find your enemy's weakness and exploit it Rei."
