(Everyone!) We All Fight For A Cause

[Noel Sanders]

NOEL

"I... I don't know... To tell the truth, I wasn't all against what they were fighting for... And being heroic isn't what I want. All I wanted to do is to help those that had shown me kindness... even just a little. That is what Leon would do." His head lay low as he sat within the bushes, and for the first time, he stared at his own desires, his own bullheadedness and his own sins in the eye.The realization hit him like a huge hammer.

He looked up. And for once, his eyes were filled with the brilliant light called 'faith'. "Understood. I'll do as you ask... Let's hope things would go for the better." With that, he flipped through his spell book, looking for the perfect spell to help him in the coming, imminent battle. He found it.

And the spell is called Invisibility. "We will remain link for another 23 hours... Just as you will be able to sense my location, I can sense yours too. So don't worry if I disappear... You know where I am."

He took a deep breath as he muttered to himself almost silently. "Ready?"" And the next second, his shape simply blurred out of existence.


ESTHER

"Alright then, let's get things going." She smiled almost 'radiantly' as she turned and walked away from the others. She would have to go and prepare her equipment. The guns, syringe and such. Good thing she had practiced marksmanship for quite a long, long time... She could do battle hands to hands as well, but she preferred long-range combat than spoiling her lab coat.

i've found you find strength in your moments

Falcon took flight as everyone began heading out, chirping softly in response to Desirae's command to take care, before spiraling off to the door and out into the open sky, circling above and waiting for the group to start out, slowly widening his circle to move farther and farther away from the institute so that he could attempt to keep a lookout on the cliffs as well.

Very nearly getting himself seen, though not exactly on purpose, Lore managed to duck behind a bush just in time as Esther turned toward him to walk away. He froze as soon as he touched ground, eyes straining to see through the branches until he deemed it safe enough to get in a more comfortable and efficient position for watching. He scanned the faces briefly, catching sight of Sinclair(apparently no longer just a sympathizer) and Kaycee(which made him thank his mission oriented mind for not flashing back to that night on the beach).

Moirae listened respectfully, knowing better than to interrupt, particularly when she had nothing useful to add to the discussion anyway. Once everything was decided, she finally unfolded her legs and stood up, brushing the loose grass and bits of dirt off her pants out of habit more than a care about how she looked.

Right. I don't see why we had to come all the way out here for that, but, you know. Whatever.

She grumbled softly, more to herself than anything, though she wasn't necessarily complaining. About the walk and the fact she thought it had been a waste of time, yes, but she had managed to do some rather nice sketches before everyone had got here, which she wouldn't have managed back at the corporation.

[Phoenix]

Matt had been so focused on listening on the conversation he nearly jumped out of his skin when Isabelle appeared beside him and started whispering to him. He nodded in response and ducked down so his voice wouldn't be heard by any of the Archangel lackeys on the cliff.

Yah, that's them, but it sounds like they're heading towards the Institute to start a battle. I'm going to head back and warn the others. He was about to leave when another thought struck him. Please don't try and take them on yourself. Stay out of sight until the others arrive. Be careful, and don't do anything foolish.

Of course she could do anything she wanted, she didn't have to listen to him, but he hoped she would. The last thing he wanted was to his friend masscred because of one little mistake.

He closed his eyes, feeling himself disappear, and once he felt himself fall back into his body, which was lying on the floor in the middle of the foyer, he sat up. They're on the move! He yelled. Anyone nearby would hear him yell, and he got up and headed outside, where he used his telekinesis to pick himself up and start flying over towards the cliffs.

Although the lackeys were headed this way, he wanted to make sure they didn't notice they had been or were being spied on.

-----------------------------------

Nick pushed off from the tree to follow the others. He had said his piece, he had nothing left to say. Since the first word at this little meeting, he had been itching for a battle and he could feel the blood pulsing through his veins. He was pumped and ready to kick some X-Men ass.

Wilder stood up, stretching as if he had been seated for a long time. So, are we just going to charge into battle? Or are we gonna bore their ears off with some silly speech copied for the movies or what?

He had barely just finished his phrase when Nick walked by him, smacking the back of his head. Shut up Wilder.

[bacardi]

Well wasn't this exciting? Totem hadn't been with the X-men for very long and they were already going to have their first battle. For the past weeks he had trained for this, either on his own or with a partner or two, but he had not known how truly serious it was until now. The teen had thought it was more of a last resort sort of thing, and apparently he was wrong.

It was a good thing he rarely panicked at times like these, or he would have been still lurking in his room. Instead, he was now running to meet the rival group of Archangels head on. As soon as he saw Tristan make a break for it, so did he.

Even though he was new, Totem had a decent understanding of who he was facing. They obviously wanted world domination and since Xavier's didn't see a need for it, the two branches were easy enemies. As he ran, picking up inhuman speed, he started to wonder if the guy he had met on his way here had chosen a side..Sin was his name. He supposed he would find out soon enough.

Being one of the first to intersect the coming rivals, he was one to truly see what they were up against. Totem's dark eyes took in all available information and as the seconds passed they slowly turned from dark brown to a glowing yellow eye of a large feline. knowing that danger was upon them, his natural instinct to protect began to take control, helping his transformation into the strongest animal he could think of at the time. A tiger. Still in bipedal form, the once 6 foot teenager was now a 6'5" battle ready orange and black striped demon with claws and fangs to match. Being as foolishly bold as he always was, he had no intention of hiding as he waited for what was to come..

-Sorry, I meant to throw Ally and Paige into the mix in my last post but I kinda forgot until now, so I'm putting them in now if thats alright -

ALLY! Slow down! Paige didn't know why she agreed to let Ally be the one to drive to the Institute. She hated how Ally always seemed to speed at least 20 kms over the speed limit. It was amazing she never got caught by the police. And it amazed her how she never crashed... but then again, she was an all around speed demon. She had quick reactions and could easily dodge or recover from a problem.

Ally was laughing, thoroughly amused. The windows were down and the music was blasting. Typical teenage scene. Relax Paige! We're fine. She looked over and winked at her friend.

Despite Paige's frustration, she felt a small smile tug at her face. Ally's amusement was always contagious, however, the smile was short lived.

Paige turned the radio off as they approached the already open gates of the Institute. That's weird.... Paige commented as Ally slow the car way down so it was barely crawling up the long driveway to the Institute.

As they grew closer, they saw that several people, or rather X-Men were rushing out of the building, appearing to be focused on something serious.

Ally pulled the car off to the side and turned it off. I guess we picked a bad day to come and tour the place huh?

Paige watched as another X-Men exited the school and then turned when she heard Ally unbuckle herself and get out of the car. Ally, where are you going?

Ally popped her head back into the car, a mischevious grin on her face. come on! I want to see what's going on! She closed the car door, while Paige sighed in exasperation, but it was only a second later she followed Ally out of the car.

[Sparrow]

{Jace is about to get this party started. Look out Falcon!}

Kaycee grumbled to herself as she followed Esther out of the clearing and into the bushes. She couldn't believe everyone had slighted her so much back there and instead listened to Peyton. Oh sure, Kayc herself often listened to the little blue girl but she wasn't exactly expecting to be overshadowed. Tapping her ear to activate the little microchip embedded in there, Kaycee frowned. Jace, you there?

Jace, still standing on the cliffs, heard the familiar crackling in his eardrum and looked around to make sure it didn't appear as if he were talking to himself. Of course I am. Let me know when you're set up.

Kaycee nodded to herself, knowing full well Jace couldn't see her. Check brother. I'll keep you informed. Out. Finished her communication with Jace, Kaycee tapped her ear again and turned to Esther, matching her pace surprisingly well in her high heels. I'll meet you at the Institute. Since I don't fight, I'll be using a variety of programs to hack into the Institute's database for various information as well as keeping tabs on whoever has the microchip attached to them with my handy map program. Kaycee said seriously. She wasn't a genius and a computer hacker to just battle with the rest of those goons. Not bothering for Esther to comment, Kaycee stopped at her favorite tree. Taki darling, time to come back to the Institute. She called with narrowed catlike eyes.

Jace, followed the group towards the Institute, wrapped in his own thoughts. He knew his sister, surely already back at the Corporation, would take care of the prisoner, so he didn't worry about that. The kid who seemed suspiciously curious about the Institute was now speaking to Peyton so there was no question he was in capable if a little psychopathic hands. However the one thing that was occupying his thoughts was the strange bird above them. Due to his unique gift, Jace immediately sensed mutant and smiled darkly to himself. As Wilder prepared to pass him, Jace stopped him with a flat hand against his chest.
Hey Wilder, ready for some fun? Jace asked him with a cruel glint in his forest eyes. He pointed at the sky and aimed a small zap of lightning to hit the hawk and burn perhaps a few of his wings, but absolutely not to kill him. Not yet.

Taki barely had time to register Noel's acceptance of his idea before his friend disappeared right before his eyes. Damn,he muttered in awe. At least, he had caught that the two would stay in communication mentally for a while. That would be very helpful indeed.
Of course, a sultry, vindictive, and very familiar voice broke his positive note with a sour one.
He watched Kaycee with sigh as she climbed the tree quickly in her stilettos and unlocked his chain. He allowed her to unlock his chain as he did everyday and didn't move as she grabbed his shirt and pulled him down the tree with her. But he had to admit, Taki was relieved when they touched ground. He had never been faithful in Kaycee's ability not to drop him 8 feet in the air.
As she pushed him in front of her, and tapped along on her minicomputer, Taki couldn't help but look back at the tree line and pray to a god he didn't believe in that Noel would be all right.

Sparrow nodded that Desirae had accepted his words. He hadn't wanted to say them, and wished with all his heart she would stay at the Institute. But he knew that was so unrealistic and instead tried to smile at the goodbye moment they had just had. With a final wink at his beautiful fiancee, Sparrow disappeared into the crowd of X-men.

As soon as he exited the building, a brilliant cheetah had taken its place outside the door. Figuring the Archangel lackeys were probably heading this way, Sparrow guarded the door as people zipped past him, acknowledging their waves and thumbs up with clear blue eyes. It was time.

[Sinclair]

{I have so much homework </3 It's the end of the term. But I figured I should make posting here a priority 'cause I can do homework while in the car and such.}

Sinclair was not anticipating the arrival of X-Men. If you would have asked him, he would have thought that the other Archangels felt the same way- this was supposed to be a meeting not a battle! But so long as they were here, why not greet them?

"Hey, kid, you should probably leave before it gets violent,"Sinclair warned Cymir before he disappeared into the battle-ready crowd of Archangels. The cliffs they were on did not provide nearly enough room for a battle, in his mind, and he assumed that quite a few people would fall off the edge. That alone was good enough reason to take this down to the beach- but who was going to listen to him? He'd make the situation work. And to do so he'd ignore all the Archangels, with their comments of violence toward the enemy, with the one goal of reaching a vintage point where he could see Isabelle. Hopefully he wouldn't see her at all, actually. He reached the end of the Archangels and silently slid in to the group of X-Men, silently hoping that no one knew of his choice in sides. The Archangels he wasn't worried about, it was the X-Men who'd probably kill him for being near them.

Cymir didn't want to be on the cliffs at that moment, but he wasn't too worried. He found himself now alone, all the familiar people having dispersed, so he did the next best thing; he retreated the opposite way that Sinclair had went so that he was as far away as possible from the X-Men. It wasn't that he didn't like or trust the X-Men, it was merely that he knew the rest of the mutants were ready to fight them. Cymir was not a mutant blessed with offensive powers. He could get you out of a bind, he could change the past and rewrite the future, but he couldn't do more then swing wildly at an attacker. If things got scary, he had every intention of disappearing and hiding out somewhere safe. But for now he settled for sitting near the edge of the cliffs, holding onto the pole of a telescope that would have provided a nice view of the beach if he would have looked.

Desirae wasted little time heading for the door, but she found herself pushed back a bit by the eager crowd, leaving her to unwillingly lose sight of Sparrow. And since Falcon had flown away, it seemed there was no one to turn to. Oh well. Desirae pushed on until finally she could feel the sun. And, of all her luck, she noticed Sparrow by the door. He was hard to miss, and even harder to mistake- his bright blue eyes were anything but common. Smiling, even though they'd already said goodbye, Desirae couldn't resist moving closer to place a gentle kiss on his head.

"You're so cute,"Desirae giggled softly,"I'll see you in a little while," And with that Desirae stood up, then completely disappeared from sight so that she could make her way to the cliffs unnoticed.

It was when she got to the cliffs that she found a reason to be angry. Lurking among the growing number of X-Men was a familiar face. Reappearing, she grabbed Sinclair.

"What do you think you're doing?"Desirae hissed, keeping her voice down so that it blended in with the din of the cliffs.

"Finding Isabelle."Sinclair answered, his voice casual. It was met by Desirae shaking her head at him. He raised an eye-brow curiously, but she didn't seem to notice or care.

Desirae took his hand and pulled him through the crowd so that she could leave him back on his own side. She wasn't worried- if they battered Sinclair with their attacks, fine. He deserved it. But she was confident that she could evade attacks- she could, in an instant, disappear or simply make the object go through her.

[Decadence]

{I had Sinclair delete Tristan's application for me because he was a fail of a character. <33 But since he was in a couple topics with people, I'm gonna have him die sometime in this topic so that we don't have to delete those topics. So if anyone feels like murder right now, feel free to attack Tristan. }

Tristan was a little bit irritated to see that the large crowd of X-Men had caught up with him, so he sped up and moved closer and closer toward the seemingly advancing Archangels. As he moved faster and closer, his heart started to beat rapidly, and he almost felt himself losing control of his body, as if some automated force was driving his movement and he need not even think about what he was doing. His eyes stayed focus on a single vantage point and did not stray. He was ready. This is for you, Olivia.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Peyton, having already stepped off of her stool and self-proclaimed pedestal, was basically ignoring Kaycee, Jace, Esther, Nick, Wilder, Moirae, and the others. She was content to pick her flowers. "Ohhh, pretty." Seeing some cute blue flowers a little further away from the cliff, Peyton trailed away from the group and moved toward the pretty blue flowers. That was when she noticed the moving figures headed straight for the Archangels. Forgetting the blue flowers entirely, she tensed up with suspicion and inched closer to the group to get a closer look.

Sure enough, they were X-Men. They were always easy enough to spot with that naive goody-two-shoes "I'm gonna save the world!" gleam in their eyes. Smirking, Peyton ran back toward the Archangels.

"Looks like we're having a slight change of schedule. The X-Men are headed this way," she announced loudly and clearly, pointing her finger toward the direction of the advancing juggernaut of mutants.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The second that Isabelle was told to stay put, to not "do anything foolish," her backwards nature kicked in, and she automatically felt the impulse to charge into battle without a plan or even an idea as to what she was doing. Watching the Archangels, she clenched her jaw and then started to grind her teeth together anxiously. It took every ounce of her patience to restrain herself from doing the exact opposite of what Matt had told her, even if she knew that he did mean well.

Relief surged through her as she saw the rest of the X-Men approaching. She waved her hand a little bit to make her presence known to them. At least if anything happened, she wouldn't be alone.

At that moment, she was close enough to the group of Archangels to hear the loud high-pitched shouting of a little girl who had yet to go through puberty. The little girl announced the X-Men's presence. That was not good. Isabelle stared in shock for a moment, not sure if she was horrified that they were discovered or relieved that she could now spring into action. Then, panicking, she sprinted toward her allies as quickly as her legs would move.

"They know we're here. The little blue one spotted us," she informed, slightly out of breath.

There was an indignant squawk of surprise, mingled with pain, as the lightning struck him, singeing the edges of his flight feathers on the left side and sending a jolting pain through his whole body. His muscles contracted, his wings folding into his sides, and he fell, head long, through the air towards the rocks and sand at the bottom of the cliff. He somehow managed to spread his wings again in time to catch a thermal and slow his descent until he landed at a much less fatal speed, shifted back to human form, and crumpled into a ball until the throbbing subsided a little and he could think again.

He slowly uncurled, black trench coat marred with age and sand and dirt and stood, somewhat shaking still from the electricity. Getting electrocuted was not a walk in the park, by any means, and he found he much preferred a claw in the face than the static he couldn't even blame his judgment or reaction time on.

With that, he used his other power instead to get back up, quickly and much more effortlessly levitating, to a point a bit farther down the cliff where he settled down, out of sight, to focus on a shift to a cougar, working on having full eyesight this time so that he wouldn't entirely miss such an attack again.

Rae frowned, certainly not pleased. She wasn't an attacker perse. She didn't exactly have muscle, or talent, in fighting physically and her powers were much more defensive. She knew, though, that she'd only get in the way. She doubted she'd be a distraction. Few, if any, on their side would put themselves at risk to save her. She was a bitch to all of them, after all. So, she climbed back down to her little ledge, and focusing on pinpointing someone that was an x-men who she could possibly take out.

[/blockquote][/blockquote]

--- Rae can take Tristan out if you like? Speed up his death and whatnot ---

[Phoenix]

Nick turned as soon as Peyton spoke and a smirk came to his lips as soon as he spotted the mass of X-Men coming towards them. Everything's so much easier when they come to us. Although he was talking to himself, he spoke loud enough so anyone could hear.

He took a few steps in their direction and closed his eyes as he felt the rush of all their powers. He had been working on expanding the distanct in which he could gather and sense powers, and apparently it was working. He opened his eyes again, smirking. So many wonderful powers....


When Jace stopped him, Wilder looked up and watched as Jace electrocuted the hawk, who began spiralling towards the ground. Wilder got an excited look on his face, and only the fact Jave still had his hand up kept Wilder from running over. Clearly Wilder spent too much time as a cat.

There was a growl and Wilder lost interest in the bird as a tiger came rushing towards the group. I got this one! He said, shifting into his usually preferred animal. The panther. As soon as all four paws hit the ground, he let out a fierce growl and charged at the tiger, lunging at it before it could strike anyone else.

--ooc: lol I gotta say it: CAT FIGHT!--

Matt followed the group of X-Men towards the cliffs, only stopping long enough to count the number of Archangels and then compare how many X-Men there were. It appeared that it would be a relatively matched battle.


Ally and Paige watched silently as the X-Men all left the Institute and headed towards the cliffs.

Paige started back around the car. Okay! Definitely a bad day to come get a tour. Let's go home!

Ally grinned. Oh no way! You can't honestly tell me that you're going to run away when there's some huge epic battle going down? She rushed around the car and grabbed her friend. Hang on! We're going to the cliffs!

She wasn't the strongest person alive, but she was strong enough to give Paige a piggy back ride, and she ran towards the cliffs, moving so fast they were just a blur, and unless anyone knew they were coming and looking hard for them, they wouldn't be seen. She dashed behind the treeline where she stopped and put Paige down.

She parted the bushes and looked out. This is so cool... She muttered. Come look Paige! Paige rolled her eyes and joined her friend to look at the unfolding scene.

[Sparrow]

(Um, I skipped our two inactive players -Noel and Totem- but they can pop in whenever?-

Jace, thoroughly delighted in his plan with Wilder working out better than expected thanks to a random X-man, looked over the group. Ok, who wants some of this? He growled to himself. Jace raised his hands into the air and yelled. Two giant bolts of lightning lit up the sky and the battle- igniting an all out brawl.

Kaycee tapped a few keys on her computer and the screen lit up. Her perfectly shaped eyebrows were furrowed in concentration a she entered a certain database.
Just lovely. She murmured as a view of the battle filled her computer screen from a treetop camera she had planted earlier. I got you Jace, she spoke aloud to her ear mic. Nice bolts. Approximately 30 x-men hiding in the bushes. Good luck...and be careful. Her voice dropped lower at the end, almost embarrassed about showing affection for her brother.

Taki, sitting in a chair near Kaycee watched the screen mildly. He had decided earlier to distance himself from the battle so he wouldn't be disappointed in the outcome. Though he wasn't sure what team he was cheering for yet.

Lily too noticed a few faces hiding among the trees. She wasn't concerned about Nick's safety like some other couples might be. She knew he could handle whatever happened. With this knowledge, she was able to focus completely on the task. Which at this moment, was moving a giant tree. Holding one palm out and focusing all her energy on it, Lily uprooted a forest tree hiding several x-men and threw it back on them forcefully. Normally a fan of mother nature, Lily knew she had no choice here. But that made the attack even stronger. Oops, She said sweetly.

Sparrow saw the lightning flash above the treeline and growled his disgust. Noticing that all the x-men were gone and no Archangels had appeared yet, his cheetah form raced to the cliffs. Spying an young Archangel with fair blue skin, he let his animal instincts take over and charged towards her. He wouldn't kill her - he would just take her out of the battle.

[Sinclair]

{Too bad Sin can't save Peyton. </3}

Sinclair was a bit surprised by the sudden eruption. Desirae hadn't moved far, so he grabbed her hand, tugging her back toward him.

Desirae was surprised by the feeling of someone grabbing her, but when she realized it was Sinclair, she grew angry. What did he want? She needed to get back on her own side! It was dangerous over here, and why would he want her with him, anyway? Whatever his reasoning, she didn't care.

"Let go, Sinclair,"Desirae demanded. Sinclair showed no intention of listening.

Sinclair looked around, still trying to spot Isabelle in the chaotic crowd. Unfortunately, he didn't see her, so he kept his grip on Desirae.

"I'm going to help keep you safe, just relax."Sinclair objected.

Desi rolled her eyes, but she stayed still anyway, watching the fighting from the safe distance that was Sinclair's current position.

Cymir was not thrilled by the eruption of violence and his size did not help anything. So Cymir stayed at the edge, doing his best to simply avoid the danger of the fight in front of him.

{Epic fail. </3}

[Decadence]

{Ahhh! My poor little baby smurf. <x3

&& that would be awesome, coldfire.}

Peyton whipped her head around in time to see a cheetah charging toward her. Willing herself not to panic, she started walking backward to create the impression that she was defenseless. When the cheetah reached her and attempted to pounce, she snatched it by its two front legs, making sure to avoid its sharp claws, and spun it around a few times with her superhuman strength before effortlessly launching the cheetah toward the first face she saw and did not recognize, which happened to be Allison Collins.

"That should show 'em," she muttered, rubbing at a minor cut on her wrist from the cheetah's claws.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isabelle returned to her position behind the trees and continued to watch anxiously. There wasn't much she could do to help the X-Men in battle; it wasn't like she could illusion anyone to death, and she wasn't exactly stupid enough to try, unless she had some sort of reason to join the fight. And that was exactly what she got when she spotted Desirae, who was on the wrong side of the battle. What is she doing?! Isabelle wondered.

She noticed that there was an archangel holding Desirae's hand tightly, but from Isabelle's distance and angle, Desirae was blocking the archangel so that Isabelle had no idea which archangel it was. It could have been one of the bulky but pea-brained guards; it could have been the Dark Angel for all she knew. But she wasn't about to let any archangel hold her friend hostage. She had to help her. It was what any good maid of honor would do.

Without contemplating it any further, Isabelle darted toward Desirae, hoping that she would blend in among the disarray of mutants. When she finally reached Desirae, she created an illusion of a scorching blue flame in one hand and placed her other hand on Desirae's shoulder.

"Desirae Casey, if Sparrow sees us on this side of the battlefield, he'll be furious. He'll drag us back to the Institute to prevent the archangels from killing us, lecture us, then murder us both himself. Let's go," she said, attempting to project her voice over the roar of the crowd. She was too focused on bringing Desirae back to the X-Men safely to notice just who it was that was holding her.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tristan was probably doing something, but nobody cares about Tristan. Not even Anna. Poor Tristan.

[Phoenix]

Just a few feet away, a tree was ripped out of the ground by an invisible and powerful force. Paige leaned forward, grabbing Ally's arm in fear and digging her nails in as the tree flew threw the air and went crashing into some people, presumably X-Men by their uniforms.

Paige couldn't help the quaver in her voice as she whispered to her friend. Let's get out of here before we're killed!

But Ally was transfixed, almost in awe by the scene before them. No, not yet, I wanna see what happens. Look if things get really crazy, I promise I'll lift you and book it. Paige knew there was no way she would be able to convince her friend to leave at that particular moment, so all she did was nod.


Wilder was too focused on his battle with the tiger to pay attention to anything else that might be happening around them. To him all the mattered was this fight between too powerful felines. A panther and a tiger. Nothing else mattered. They were a rolling, screeching ball of fur and blood.


Nick opened his eyes and lookwed around, borrowing the power of telepathy to count how many X-Men they were up against, and then he walked over to a large crowd of X-Men, and using the powers of telekinesis, he started tossing them one by one, into the air, laughing all the while they were screaming as they were thrown upwards.


Matt started heading in one direction, thinking someone might need help, but he stopped at hearing a tree being uprooted. He turned in time to see a tree being thrown in the direction of several X-Men. The force of the tree alone would kill him, so abandoning the fight he was heading towards, he headed into the opposite direction, using his telekinesis to stop the tree from hitting the others just in time. Once he had the treet under his power, he threw it into another direction, and looked around, seeing who had possessed the power to move the tree, and spotted a woman who looked to be responsible.

[Sparrow]

Lily giggled at the shrieks from the X-men hiding in the bushes. They were so dumb, weren't they? Who shows up to a battle just to hide? These were the rhetorical questions that filled her mind as she turned around, finished with that area. She could have gone in and attacked but that seemed pointless since she was clearly outnumbered. It was strange though that no noticed who had sent that gorgeous tree flying through the air. Liliana pondered this until she noticed that her tree was not where it should have landed but on the other side of the battle field. Who... oh. It was probably the guy who was staring at her and walking towards her. Another telekentic? He was in for the battle of his life. Lily started to walk towards him.

Sparrow realized things had not gone as planned as he felt himself grabbed by the paws by the tiny girl who had way too much strength for her own good, and thrown backwards. He unsuccessfully tried to claw her arms to stop the flight but within a few moments landed with a thump on the forest floor. The cheetah knew at least two of its ribs were broken and shifted back into a human. Sparrow tried to take deep breaths and control the pain in his side as he lay in the center of the battlefield.
