Stumbling out after Heartstring, Shimmer tried to catch her breath, wheezing a little as she pointed out toward the fire. "See!" she said in a slightly frustrated voice. Although, she looked up at it again and stood upright, her face clouding over in fear. Her body became limp and her eyes widened a little. Turning to the three people in front of her she whispered quietly as she backed off a little toward the door. "What is going on? Are we under attack again? Oh god, why does this have to happen again!" she said while she became more and more hysteric.
"I don't like fire, but what if someone is hurt, what if they are burning, what if they're dying. What if that fire is going to come here, we cant do anything, Colossus what is going on!" her voice raising both on volume and pitch as she felt her body begin to shake and her eyes water more than before. She was very scared and very upset about this. She wantedto just go to her room and hide,no, she waned Riker, but she wasn't alowed. And she didn't want miss Frost to yell at her, Her mind as bubling over with too many thoughts for her to think straight, and it was beginning to show.

Moments before...
As Vladimir and the limo, followed by the moving truck reached the main highway a thought occurred to him, 'I believe the delivery will be late unless...'
Calling back over the wireless headset to the moving van he said "<We will deliver the shipment and then return.>" and with a tap of a button the glass divider slid down and he spoke to the driver of the limousine saying "To town, we must make a deadline."
That was not how it worked out though.

As Inflict's eyes scanned forward, almost in slow motion, something looked wrong. 'There's not suppos'd to be anyone coming out of the DRIVEWAY !!!' he thought, his mind trying to keep up in it's drunken state, as he swerved to avoid a limousine.
Slamming on his breaks and losing total control he managed to careen around the limo but behind it...'what in the!?!?! What the hell's a big moving van doing- !?!!??!'

"Whooo - hooo slow down honey!" Rose called from half under the mattress of the plush bed in the back of Inflict's Van. "I found it!" she said as she reached a hand up and said "Pass me my beer Kelly, I'll put it out."
She lost her balance and rolled forward out from under the bed as Norrison swerved around the limo. Looking out through the windshield as she sat up, she saw the massive wall of the side of the moving truck looming ahead and her eyes went wide.

With a grunt he knew things had just passed the safety mark. Focusing his mind he clapped his hands together above his head to activate his power. From seemingly out of nowhere a cascade of what appeared to be rock covered his body, and also came growing outward as well from all of him tearing through his clothing.
"Back Door!" he hollered at Machete as he shoved his seat aside, crushing it with little if any effort at all, and grabbed his best friend by the scruff of his collar pulling him out from behind the wheel of his van. A step later and he scooped Calorie and Machete up as well and lept with all his might at the back of the van. The force of his leap pushing down on the shocks of the vehicle and an evil scraping sound emerged from under them

'Back door- oh hell, what?' her mind raced but not being quite as drunk as her boyfriend she acted quickly. Seeing Stoney all "rocked up" she realized this was serious and got sober fast.
Spinning back to face the rear of Inflict's van she let fly with her right arm and her power of slicing energy cascaded outward in it's signature purple arc. Carving a massive slice through the back of the vehicle she brought her arm backwards at a different angle as Stoney scooped her up, and sent a far less powerful swath of energy out with the backstroke.
She hoped it would be enough, as she felt her team mate launch them out of the back of the vehicle. She didn't look and covered her head as she expected him to plow through the cuts she made and drag the group of them out with him in his customary hap-hazard way. They would be lucky to have all their limbs if Stoney stayed true to form.

When the van started swerving, Kelly screamed. "Damnit My mom will kill me for ruining this Lapel," He screamed and swung on his backpack. He knew that they were in trouble the second that he saw Chester turn into stone. Rose carved the arch into the back of the van. 'Aw man if Chester bangs us all through that wall it'll ruin my hair,'
Kelly looked at the cut in the back of the van and thought for a moment as Chester scooped him up with the others. 'I think I'm in the mood for some frosting,' and then the area that Rose cut in became strawberry frosting just before Stoney banged them through it. Now they were all covered in thick strawberry frosting.

Expecting to smash the group of them out the top and back wall of the van Chester curled his head over and shrugged up his shoulders for the impact. He had many times before forgotten how fragile people were when they weren't rock, but this time he was determined to make sure that his friends didn't get hurt.
As he impacted with the chunk of van that Machete had cut he was completely shocked. He expected an injury or a sound of crunching metal but instead was entirely taken by surprise as a squishing sound, and the roof and wall of the van coated them all, the smell of strawberry filling his nostrils. He couldn't help but taste the sweet sticky flavor of cake icing as his mouth had been open, and he knew Calorie was responsible.
Blinking to get the stuff out of his eyes so he could land he heard the sound of Inflict's van as it smashed into the side of the moving truck. A heartbeat later just as he landed there was a huge explosion which knocked everyone out of his arms as a massive piece of metal hit him from behind.

Knowing that he was out of control he froze. His life, the lives of his team mate and his girlfriend, all gone. He was responsible for them and he blew it. His van was about to crash and it was all his fault, and then...
Out of the clutches of the Grim Reaper himself he was whisked away. He felt the pull on the collar of his shirt and looked back as he saw Stoney in rock form pulling him out of the driver's seat. He was tossed over his friends arm as Calorie got scooped up and Machete too. Stoney called out and he squeezed Kelly into him pulling them all together as he jumped and that was when the haze started to clear.
He heard Machete's power go off and could only imagine she was helping to cut an escape as Inflict himself was looking back out the front windshield still seeing the impending crash. That moving truck was as huge as a mountain in front of his van as it was just about to hit. He knew it would be painful and then, 'Splooge' he was covered in some sticky crap that smelled berryish. "What the?" was all he could say as he realized Calorie must have helped them get out of the van too.
Before he could even wipe his eyes Norrison heard the explosion and felt the shock wave knock him out of Chester's grip. Landing hard on his side he rolled to his feet and wiped the frosting from his face with his sleeve. He looked and saw the limo driving by casually and the moving van all in flames. Glancing around at his fellow mutants he saw them all still alive.

Back in front of the school...
"Everyone calm down.," Colossus said trying to calm down his charge. He knew HeartString and Decibel had enough training to stay calm under pressure. "Shimmer, I don't want you getting too close to the explosion. You may follow but until I give further instruction, to the far off side of the site. Do not move until I give you the okay. Is that understood?" he asked her before waving his arm over to the two other girls. "Decibel, HeartString I want you both following close behind me and on alert. I am not sure if it is an attack or an accident but no matter what be prepared," he instructed them.
Colossus made himself into his organic steel form and waved towards the others. "Everyone behind me. Shimmer, remember my instructions, I wan you to stop a good distance away from the scene. Keep yourself hidden in case this is an attack," He yelled before running towards the scene. I hope everyone is alright. If this is another attack, I am sure Emma would have picked up on it by now. I must make sure the students don't get hurt. Especially Shimmer, she is so young, he thought as he looked back to make sure the girls were behind him.

"Hey Petey you wanna try something that me and Stoney been working on together?" Gina called out as she ran along behind him. "Get you there real fast, promise!" She yelled as she reached to grab her guitar and steady it as she ran.

Colossus slowed down and then stopped to look back at Decibel. "As long as it doesn't do more harm than good, let's try it," he said having faith in the quick thinking Hellion. He knew her long enough, but did hope she tested whatever she had up her sleeve throughly enough.
"The rest of you meet me there, I will call out instructions when I see you," he said to them.

When Colossus stopped and gave some orders she reached over to take Shimmer's hand. Nodding she said "Gotcha!"
She looked down and said "Shimmer? Is that you? Wow you look different. Are you sure you don't want to just head back inside? This could get dicey."

"Alright here's the deal," Decibel started to explain "We've only done it twice and not with the best results, but I think it's because of him." She rolled her eyes and remembered how sloppy he looked at the last attempt at the technique in the Danger Room.
"Anyway he is a clod, but I think it more that I'm afraid to hurt him. Here's what we do. I hit this note- and I mean I hit it hard, right- and I use the sound waves to launch you in that general direction." She grinned as she got her guitar ready.
"I'm thinking" she looked him over in his armored form "that you can probably take more of an impact than Stoney, so I wont have that problem. Plus you're metal and not rock so you'll naturally resonate better, right? Like a huge muscled tuning fork flying through the air. Let's try it, you game?" she got ready to play, placed her fingers on the frets and pulled out her lucky pick.

Colossus thought for a moment and then nodded. "Alright, I'll try it. It is better I go first anyways," he said getting himself in position. I really hope it works... he thought and looked back at the girls.
"You two please look after Shimmer, and remember my instructions," he said preparing himself.
