What are they doing? Tia blinked from Frostbite to Skylar, wondering what they were doing before she realised that they were trying to create a distraction. Fair enough, Tia's eyes flickered from the Shi'ar to the two who she was stuck with. They're bird creatures... If they try to fly I think I might be able to stop them! The wind can be used against them.. yes, that should be an advantage but what else? Oh... we need to get ready to fight, I don't think they'll be happy with all the insults that Decay and Frosty are shooting at them Tia inaheld, getting her mind clear to have her wind powers at the ready. She was getting better at 'multitasking' she assumed, seeing the bad smells were still up above them.
Tia wasn't one to do the talking - she was more the one for action - hence she stood still, her eyes flickering between everyone, as she turned her head around to try to see the locations of more Shi'ar people. I just hope the others move fast too- we need to work quickly. I hope the new people are focused... she was slightly in doubt about Kat, because she seemed like a very easy-going type of person, and Tia couldn't imagine Kat taking anything seriously. She somehow seemed a bit more sure about Glitch guy, he seemed very focused and a pretty to the point kind of person. Plus he didn't exactly look like he'd been bought up to be mr softy nice guy, he looked like he knew how to take care of himself.
"Frosty... be careful." Tia whispered in her dead tone. She wasn't used to Frosty acting like this, and she'd never seen Frosty in danger room session either. I hope she knows what she's doing... Sky's good at the whole distracting thing and she knows how to take care of herself... but I don't know how strong a figher Frosty is... but she did survive Limbo... but still.. I'm a bit worried.

"Gotcha Fleet, good lookin out my brother!" He called over to Kyle. Chase saw what was happening and knew in his heart of hearts that even with the team having fuller numbers than they ever had they were still outnumbered. If not in the prison chamber, then throughout the rest of the ship. Nightcrawler hadn't said what they would have to do exactly, maybe it was that they had to stand trial with honor or something, but he heard the guys and if they wanted out then he was in with them for that. He hated being locked up just as much as them.
He gathered together Kat and Lian and speaking just loud enough to be heard by them and no roving guards he said "OK Ripple I don't think you can do much with that forcefield, but you think you can loosen up the molecules of the floor so we can do a little 'under the fence' action?" He hooked his hand under and up through the air discreetly in case they didn't quite hear him. "Kat you and me will draw them off so Ripple can follow after. Sky's probably got the same idea in mind for her crew over there, I know how she thinks. We'll wait for Dante to do his thing and then we'll all go at once, 'kay?"
He looked over first to the other cells, the forcefields surrounding his teammates obscuring the view slightly "I know Fleet is hurt, but I bet he can hold his own and in this kind of a place Hemlocks pretty much screwed, but we'll see. Allure might be our key to this whole thing, but Tempest and Frostbite I hope can whip up a storm of their own." He looked hard at all the guards and saw the movements as they watched them guarding and stuff as guards are known to do and realized their was no time like the present so he yelled out "ANY TIME YOU FEEL UP TO IT GLITCH!" Then with a semi-hard smack across Ripples face to get her attention told the girls with him "Get ready you stinkball bitches, we are on!!"

Nightcrawler sat back watching the unfolding of events in the scenario that he himself had gone through with several of the X-Men when the equipment had been installed. Zhis is a new tvist on zhe idea of a jailbreak. I vonder how it vill be recognized and dealt viss by zhe new softvare...Hank's upgrades have some interesting qvirks. He looked on amused, but still anticipating what he knew would be coming. His knowing what would be happening next made it all the more disturbing, since he didn't want to see any of his children hurt.
The program he was running could be dialed down for a less than lethal result, and even having done that Kurt still cringed as he saw what happened next. Even though he knew no one would die he still wanted to warn his Paragons once again to be careful, death sometimes being not the worst thing that can happen to a body, but to do so would interrupt their immersion into the reality they were perceiving. He would shut it down if it got too out of control or more than four of them were injured.

"AHhh HA HA! Look at this one..." the guard had seen many taunts and some of them quite imaginative in his days shuttling the criminals of the Empire to their predictable ends on various world of the fringe of the Aerie, the known space that belonged to the Shi`ar Empire. "You have a gift, Ha. I haven't laughed for some time at a taunt. Let's get a better look at that shall we?" He had called for the attention of two of the roving guards nearby on floor level, but the two stationary guards at the far end of the room remained in their positions. Waving a control stone, which was fashioned into the end of his staff of pain, past the holding cell panel he dropped the forcefield... and having been head guard for many years, and just another guard for even longer before that at various holding facilities throughout the Imperium, he recognized what this was before it had even began. All the cross talk between cells alerted him to the upcoming attempts to escape, and yet he needed to show these small ugly hominids who was in charge. He wanted to break their spirits. Stepping into the cell he drove the tip of his staff into the side of "Bird-dancer's" knee hard enough to bend her to his will, and pinning that leg to the floor he stepped again and kicked hard planting a boot solidly into the stomach of the other loudmouth, who seemed to have little aptitude for a clever taunt. It was one thing to amuse as one insulted, yet another to simply insult. The kick to Frostbite's gut was hard enough to take the wind from her and crack a rib, but it's intended purpose was to knock both of the other girls down. And launching the loudmouth into the silent one he saw his aim was still good. "Nice dance 'my pretty birdy'... come and show the rest of us." He said grabbing Decay by the hair and tossing her to the floor outside the cell as the other two guards stood by chuckling. "Look at this one, now this is funny. Dance there, you scum." he swung his staff again at Decay. (( Please take note everyone, in this post I did not say what any of the player characters did...also I have left openings for events...the goal is to tell of compelling and exciting events, as one might see in the panels of comic books...a warning - any post that is beyond your character's capability I will be editing, so please play fair.))

"Now's good!" Dante yelled and the feeing rippled through his veins whenever he touched a machine activated. The forcefield flickered and then supported. He didn't waste any time either, his mind carried the same mentality that he had when in a fight or a rumble. The others he assumed could handle themselves well enough, except maybe the Allure, but this place was full of surprises. With a burst of speed, he ran and then slid down on the ground, just like trying to steal a base in baseball except a little smoother and faster since they were on chrome floor.
"Hey Ice girl gimme some more of a slide!" he yelled as he grabbed two of the guards ankles. Once again, the strange feeling pulsed through his veins and he felt the guards go stiff. Dante kept sliding across the slippery cold floor and grabbed Sky, pulling her down to him and did his best to dodge any blows that may have rained down on him. He was experienced enough with the number of gang fights he participated in at home and as a result had faster reflexes than he had back when he was thirteen and starting out.

As Kyle waited for Glitch do whatever it was he could do, he fingered the disk on his hand. He was already dialed up to level two. Glitch made his move and the force field was down. Glitch moved quick to the closer guards. Kyle had realized he would need to move just as fast if he was going to be able to help. He slid the dial up to level five. He was used to working out at that level and knew he was amazingly quick when dialed up that high. He moved in a green and black blur, his eyes shimmering blue energy.
They didn't have any weapons or equipment so he had to use what was available. He reached down with both hands and scooped up handfuls of the garbage and filth and bolted out the cell and down the hall way. He tried to catch the two further guards at the other end of the room by surprise and slap the handfuls of refuge in their faces and into their eyes, mouth and noses. If Kyle could keep these two distracted it might buy the others some more time to get out and regroup together. After splashing the garbage at the two guards faces he made a b-line right back to the group to see where he was needed. The energy flowing through his mind and body urged him on. The power feeding his reflexes and perception. Everything Kyle saw was so clear and vivid when he was dialed up. Spending all his time playing sports and running from bullies that he always started trouble with, using his wise cracking mouth had payed off. He knew how to run, and he knew how to dodge. If only he had taken some time to actually learn how to fight.

Lorelai clutched her chest with her arms as the breath was knocked out of her. “I-can’t!“ she coughed out to Dante as she landed on her behind, knocking Tia back behind her and falling on top. She winced as she felt the sharp pain in her chest along with the pain from the other bumps she just got and breathed heavily, her stomach hurting. She groaned as she tried to move off of Tia but found that she couldn’t because it hurt too much to, and she still had yet to recover her breath. That kick from the guard hurt like a mother, but as she saw it, it worked to get him to come over and take down the forcefield that was their cell door.
Trying to sit up, Lorelai ended up leaning on Tia again since the sharp pains in her chest made the act of sitting up a bit impossible. “Aw f@%&er this hurts,” she huffed out, wincing again at the pain as she tried sitting up again. She used one hand to help herself try and sit up, and with some effort she was able to. She looked up and hugged her chest again while she watched the others start to move.Motherf&@#er! This thing had just about started and I’m already hurting with probably like a broken rib or two.. this hurts too much for them not to be broken. F*#$, I don’t know what’s worse, this or Limbo, but I can’t really compare yet…this has only just begun, she thought. Already she could feel that familiar feeling she had felt in Limbo, where she was in trouble from the heat and having to run and preserve like she did, and she didn’t want to show that she was uncomfortable or in pain, or didn’t want to feel weak. It made her wonder if she really was weak.
Was she weak, or just unlucky? Lorelai didn’t know, and she wasn’t sure if she wanted to. She liked to think of herself as not weak, but with her actions in the past few days, maybe she was. She jumped on this almost unnaturally fast change of attitude after strange actions and was already reaping some of the so-called rewards for them. New team meant hazing, and she knew it was coming, but in her day long determination to get away from two Acolytes it had slipped her mind when she requested the change. She had to be ready for it though, and tried the ‘getting rid of Katana for you’ thing in hopes it might lighten things if even a little, but it didn’t. She would deal with the hazing, not only because she told herself she was going to, but because she had to. At dinner she thought that trying to stand her ground with the insults and degradations would be a good idea, but after seeing that Chase was going to do something to her, and especially after this practice where she probably would be aching for a good while, she was just going to go with the flow and not try to force anything. It wasn’t worth it to force something and mess it up more.

Eyes widening at the events transpiring the head guard, in mid swing, saw from the corner of his eye his two fellow guards drop to the deck convulsing as if they had each been hit with a Skrull sonic beam. His quarry, the young lady with the engorged feeding glands, was swept from his range by the wild haired boy. In the instant that followed he caught a blur of something and as fate would have it the toe headed boy literally appeared before him.
Fortune favors me today my Queen he thought as he continued his swing. Directing it into the knee of the speedster, as his angle was to great to hit him elsewhere, he felt the solid connection of the blow knowing he now had one less escapee to concern himself with. "Sound the ALARM!" he heard on the catwalk above him as bolts of energy rained down from above.
"Belay that order!! I will not have it known there has been an escape on our watch!" He cried out passing the control stone in front of the functioning cell panel and sealing Frostbite and Tempest again within it's confines. Spinning his staff around again to level the firing end at the girl who had started it all he took aim on his little blond "Bird Dancer" intending to quell this unspeakable lapse in his judgment before it grew beyond his ability to contain it.

"You do not want to do that." Veronika's soft clear voice sounded out in the chamber as she walked calmly toward the guards, knowing that Kris was never far away from her side. She was confident, it was something that Emma taught her specifically to be about her abilities, the more you believe in them the more they will work. She stepped right up to the leader of the guards, her blue eyes glowing like luminescent sapphires, reeling in the guard even more than her voice did. "Your Queen would be proud that you let her loyal subjects out of prison. It has all been a big misunderstanding you see," Veronika said looking at each of the guards in turn and bringing them under her little spell.
The Paragons knew better than to interrupt her when she was working her magic on someone or something. She needed just the right amount of time to keep them under her spell so they would never know the difference between their thoughts and her suggestions. "As the Queen's best and most honored guards, surely you realize how grave of a mistake this is. We are the Queen's honored guests for the evening, and I am sure she is expecting us." Veronika's petite hand went up to the leader's face, keeping her vibrant sapphire eyes on his as she kept talking to lull them into her sphere of control.
"Oh and such wonderful guards you are, and extremely handsome. The Queen will be so happy when I tell her how wonderfully you guarded the Royal Prison. She will give you her highest praises in return. That sounds lovely doesn't it?" She purred in her hypnotic voice. "Now please let the rest of us go and we will walk to your Queen with the highest of warm words and compliments." Her slim finger tapped the leader's lips sensually. "Would you be so kind and do that for me?" Veronika purred, holding his gaze and smiling sweetly.

OUCH OUCH OUCH! Frosty weighs like a ton! OUCH my back! Tia took in deep heavy breaths, rubbing the sides of her back as her team-mate sat leaning against her. Tia placed her hands on Frostbite's shoulder as she got herself up on her knees, comforting her friend and looking around to see what was going on at the same time. "Where have you been hurt?" Tia asked, her voice breaking up due to her heavy-ish breathing. Right now, Veronika seemed to have it under control - but none the less, Tia tried to think of other ways to keep them safe in case Veronika's charm didn't work. But Veronika's charm almost always works. Tia rolled her eyes, Veronika knew what she was doing.
Instead she turned to look back at Frosty, "You're having breathing issues?" she bit her lip as she saw the state of her friend hugging her chest, literally whimpering. Tia's mind wandered into different possibilities she could use to help her friend, . "I'm no healer Frosty, but i'm going to try to give you more air to breathe. That might help... let me know if it doesn't." Tia used her palms to make a sort of bubble around Frosty, giving her more air to breathe in. "Better?" Even though Tia cared a lot about her friend, and wanted to be here with her, there was a part of her yearning to get out there and try to help the others as much as she could, but there wasn't anything she could do out there. She sighed internally, her eyes fixed on her Frosty's face.

Kris was standing just behind Veronika, close enough to pull her back if he needed to and give the birdguy a little dance show. My, that's how you do it Veronika! I'd say I'd love the be in his place, but it's just too bad you're female dear, but keep going, you're doing it just right. A small smirk played on Kris's lips and he looked around the basement-like room they were in. Nightcrawler had said it was a no-win situation, so there couldn't be an escape route out of here, and there probably wasn't a way to kill them either, but there were loads of ways they could defend themselves.
Kris took a step closer to Veronika, his eyes moving from his girl's back to Decay and Glitch. He looked the new boy up and down quickly, My that boy certainly has nice moves... if only he was my type. Kris went for the 'pretty' boys, but Glitch didn't fall in that category, he was more the hot bad boy. None of them beat dear Kevin honestly, he shook his head, his eyes shifting back to Allure. It seems to be working... but Nightcrawler said it's a no-win situation. Oh, I shouldn't be complaining! This is good! Keep doing your thing Veronika!

Kat watched as everything happened, looking around wide eyed at everything. It was real, but it wasn't real, yet it looked like her teammates were in real pain from the hits from the guard. It had been materialized in front of their eyes and it all was in a way real. The smells, the guards, the fighting, and Kat couldn't believe it. The Danger Room was such a contraption she had never heard of before and now that she was watching as Sky and Dante and Frankenkid were all over the place and saw Veronika sweet talking the guards, she was just short of amazed. Of course, she did keep in mind that they did have to get out of the cell, remembered that the holograms could hurt them, and they'd fight if Veronika's power didn't get to the birdy guards.
That was another thing, the guards were quite funny looking. They were birdlike, but definitely nowhere near as lovely looking as Gavin was. He was her very pretty songbird, and these bird men looked like they went to a bird hair salon and molded their head feathers into pointed hair dryer shapes. She half wanted to pluck the feathers out of their heads to mess it up a wee bit, and then point and laugh, cause it seemed like the head one liked his feathers. "Ugly birdies...they're oversized wannabe harpies they are," she mused quietly to herself as she walked a little closer to the door of the cell, keeping away from the forcefield but able to keep looking on.
Kat turned to Lian and pursed her lips in thought as she waited and watched to see if Veronika would work, and glanced at Chase since she could imagine that he would tell Lian to get moving with another smack, perhaps. "Next time I'm bringin' me bloody cutlass," she muttered to herself with a slight pout. She was actually handy with it since she had taken fencing classes to feel more like a pirate and found she was quite adept at it. Her teacher had told her she had a natural feel for it and found it funny that she went around acting like a pirate. He found it fitting, and enjoyed teaching her some advanced moves. As a gift for going through the classes and doing well, she had been given a real cutlass by her parents, and Kat wore it proudly where she could. If Nightcrawler would allow her that for future practices, she would be very happy.

"Hang in there pussies!!" Lian whispered to Chase and kat after the stupid aliens had the balls to try and hurt the Paragon team. Even though Lian, Sky and Chase were the trouble makers, they were also definitely into fighting just for the hell of it. It was proven earlier during dinner. Looking to Chase and Kat, Lian thought quickly about what to do. "I can let us go under and then try to help the others get out of their cells," she replied immediately still whispering. Veronika was doing her thing and disrupting her wasn't a good idea. While she was distracting the aliens, Lian and her portion of the Paragons could try and help out. "I can feel molecules in the force field. At least that's where I think it's coming from other than the solid structures."
Without hesitation, Lian rubbed her hands quickly and spread them over the floor she and her two team members were standing on. "Hold on to me guys," she warned before the floor's density suddenly lessened, making them fall right through it. Focusing on keeping a tunnel-like path under and in the ground, Lian struggled but kept on trying. "Let's go freakers," she said through gritted teeth. "I can't do this all night." As they walked or ran towards their destination, the ground in front of them phased the ground behind them solidified back to it's natural state.

As Veronika did her thing with the guards, Sky slowly moved off Dante and tugged on his arm to inch him back and away from the guards. She pulled him back and slowly stood up, giving him a hand as well. "Mmm my hero. Thanks for that Stud," she whispered with a wink and lightly skimmed her fingers up his hard toned stomach and chest. "I'll give you your reward later," Sky said with a cute promising little smile.
She was quite honestly very impressed with Dante right then and there, and she was pretty sure that she wasn't the only one. This was his first practice with the team and he showed some quick thinking and quick moves. Sky could tell that he knew how to take care of himself, but she had him pegged for a regular hood that was out against everyone. Now though, she saw that there was much more to Mr. Dante Sloan than probably anybody thought.
Looking over down at Ripple, she stuck her tongue out discreetly at Lian and one of her hands snaked out and tapped Dante's thigh teasingly. Sky could just picture Nightcrawler looking down at her and heaving a sigh with a shake of his head as he usually did at her antics. "This is the part where we all remain calm and ready to attack in case. Veronika's charm rarely fails, but I guess you noticed that too huh?" she said nudging him slightly and ready to attack in case. She wanted to get rid of that stupid guard's staff and show him that shes far from helpless for a girl. Sky had been in fights and wrestles before she could even walk. It would take a hell of a lot more than a couple of hits to take her down.

Chase leaped up and grabbed the edge of the floor above and pulled himself up by the corner before sprawling out and spinning back around to reach back into the floor and pull the ladies up. Kat was first since he had been lucky enough to be standing close to her and grabbed her arm as Ripple sunk them into the floor. It was dark as sin under there and he felt like he should have held his breath, but Lian that loudmouth had been yelling the whole time giving away their position.
This isn't what I asked her to do. Stupid dog eatin- hellspit she's a dork. Ninja stealth my ass she is a master of upside-down drunken retard-fist style martial arts, she is the one who stole from the Shaolin Temple. He amused himself thinking as he, blindly reaching in the depth of the deck, found Ripple and dragged her out of the floor by her hair and the hand she had grabbed his wrist by. "Shhh stupid! Allure's workin her mojo mon!" he whispered loudly in his Jamaican accent. Smacking her in the back of her head and pointing to Sky with a grin. He had caught her tongue out routine but Lian was always a little slow to see things, poor slanty eyed thing he thought.
It was weird to see and to hear, but his expectations were true it appeared. Since the key to getting free was getting out of the cells first it was looking pretty promising. Allure's power was amazing!
