[b]Milo Ventorro - NYC Escaping the Killer Robots[/b]
"Yeah I'll take the wheel" Milo replied back to Ganni.

"Smart move bub" Logan replied to Milo's eagerness to drive happy that it freed Scott up. Scott had no argument moving out the way allowing Milo to grab the wheels & take charge of the hover craft they were operating. As Ganni opened up a portal to get the three human sized sentinels off their backs he responded in kind with his own addition to their escape plan. His eyes surged with his familiar red energy and beams soared out of them bursting through the rift in space that Ganni had fabricated with his own mutant powers. Thus the beams he propelled from his eye sockets flowed through the portal tearing through two of the sentinels but missing the last.

Luckily Ganni's strategy had proved to be a viable one, as even without Scott's powers damage had been done to the mutant hunting machines. They'd been diverted into a brick wall, making an impromptu entrance into a small family apartment that was luckily unoccupied at the time. Although when the family of four returned they'd be both shocked & angry to discover half of their kitchen wall had been demolished by sentinels. Two of which had been torn apart with surgical precision by Summers ray beams, although the third had taken some hefty damage. It had detected Scott's attack and made an evasive flight maneuver to avoid being penetrated by the destructive mutant energy.

Unfortunately the dodge tactics utilized by the third machine only increased the level of damage it took upon being teleported into said apartment by Ganni's abilities. It soared through the apartment before crashing into a glass kitchen table almost making it's way through the front door of the apartment. Still the Underground team had accomplished their goal of escaping the sentinels that were closing in them before any others could get a proper lock on the location. Milo wiped some sweat beads that formed from his forehead, and for the fist time was allowed to think about all the actions that had transpired. He saw Logan opening up the brief case running his hands through the money the guns sale with the bloods had generated and double checking that they'd been paid the full 70 thousand they were due. Fortunately for Killa he'd made the wise choice not to rip off the mutant freedom fighters and avoided meeting a gruesome fate at Logan's claws.

"Looks like you made the right call going to Killa, just got word in from our other weapons sale it didn't go down as smoothly." Logan replied before closing up the briefcase and Scott merely grunted in disproval at the commentary Wolverine had provided in regards to the success of the other weapon sale transaction the Underground had embarked on.

"Well we got ripped off the other sale was for 50 large, and we got 30 and the rest was counterfeit. But they didn't get into a battle with the Ultimates & get sentinels called on us, that's almost worth getting got for 20 grand considering the alternative has a potential to include death. I'm not blaming  you guys though the MRD was running a sting operation, so one of the teams fencing weapons was bound to get into some shit today. Either way we all lived to see another day and that's what matters and now we're back at the safe house. Which thanks to Tamara's cloaking powers has remained undetected, plus we've got Frost on telepathic defense keeping us extra guarded for the time being that's the closest we'll get to absolute safety in the big apple. But we need to maintain a low profile especially with the beat down you gave Venom & all the Sentinels they got deployed." Scott concluded as Milo took a sharp right and pulled into the cargo bay of the safehouse getting the team home safely.

[b]Selena - Phoenix Order - Downtown NYC[/b]
The Phoenix Order had launched an all out attack on civilians at remains of what was formerly Oscorp. Oscorp drones that had survived Selena’s stomping out of the main facility had been deployed in retaliation against the humongous woman & her followers. Of the numerous warring factions that bailed for control of the global populace. The Phoenix Order was amongst the most feared.

It wasn’t because of their ideology that preached the second coming of a new Dark Phoenix who would lay waste to the United Empire & lead mutant-kind into rising up to enslave humanity again. Although that particular belief was one that certainly attracted the wrong type of attention from anti mutant law enforcement agencies such as the MRD. IT was the blatant disregard for human lives, more frightening was their intent to target innocent civilians.

The Underground’s war for mutant equality certainly resulted in casualties from bystanders, that wasn’t something that could be disputed. Even by members of the group & perhaps behind closed doors even the Underground council. However there was a reason even if it was subconscious why people come out to record fights between the Ultimates & Underground, but crowds of people dispersed from the immediate area if the Phoenix Order was the target of the battle.

“Enough you all will die.” Travis yelled out leaping into the crowd grabbing a human sized sentinel and using his power. Red Energy surged from his body engulfing the sentinel nd it was converted into a cloud of dust. However the conversion had spawned the creation of waves of energy that Travis then dragged into his body granting him increased strength & durability. His power allowed him to convert inorganic matter into energy & feed on it for lack of a better word to boost his physical attributes.

Selena had placed him down on the ground to join his Phoenix brothers & sisters in their war against the citizens of the Big Apple. The MRD showed up in large force pulling up in standard vehicles, armored trucks & hover-vehicles to fight back against the Phoenix Order’s attack. Sirens could be heard blaring for miles a symphony of emergency vehicles that was a mixture of police, fire-fighters & ambulances all being called to the scene in droves.

“AAAAHHH” Selena screamed her lungs out at the assault being done by the stronger members of the Ultimates. While she considered herself thorough in her preparations this was unexpected, as her MRD source had informed her these three as well as some other “superheroes” she wanted to avoid wouldn’t be available to respond to the Oscorp attack at this time on this day. It seemed she’d need to exchange words with her source about the validity of his claims, if she made it through this tussle alive. Fortunately for them all she could focus on right now was her survival against these superhuman legends.

Hyperion’s blows on her temple made her crumble like paper making her towering height irrelevant in comparison to his vast strength. Blood was drawn from each blow that landed on her skull with an audible bone crunching crack being heard. The pain being dealt to her didn’t end there as the god of war had launched an attack on the back of her knees causing them to crumble, and as if someone in the commentary yelled temper she went down fast & hard.

Crashing into a building behind her, while Agatha cast a spell evacuating people from said building she crashed Into. Although she saved the people from that construct Selena positioned her arm against another building and grabbed onto it tearing through the building to get back up while blood dripped onto the streets below from her knee & temple.  “The bitch is getting back up.”! Hyperion yelled out

“Hmph you know maybe throwing her down in the middle of a city wasn’t the best of ideas my solar friend, it’s one thing if the psycho order is seen killing people, but If we contribute I’d hate to loose my new action figure deal with Disney.” Ares complained using his divine power to allow Hyperion to hear him despite them being so very far away.

“The Order is responsible for too many intentional civilian deaths, and Nadarista is their leader, cut off the head and the rest will follow or however it goes.” Hyperion yelled back while Agatha just shook her head gathering her mystical energies to cast a protection spell on some surrounding buildings around the towering giant to mystically strengthen the building to prevent any more collateral damage.

Hyperion surged forward landing another blow on the towering giant this time body slamming into her chest causing her to yell out in pain again. “Such power he exudes, it almost makes my magic look insignificant in comparison” Agatha muttered to herself it was always a breath taking experience watching Hyperion in action. Sometimes she forgot the sheer raw power he wielded in battle as he like Ares & herself were so focused on the fame, fortune & celebratory status & perks that came with being an ultimate.

“Enough!!! It’s time to end this” Selena cried out as Hyperion charged again ready to end the fight with the mutant monolith. 

“I’m in full agreement Ares you take out the rest of the trash & Agatha make sure the trash doesn’t take any more victims, I’m going to sweep up the queen bee bitch now.” Hyperion said with a thumbs up and a dashing smile upon seeing two photographers in the distance snapping a picture of him floating in the air. [I]Hopefully they’ve got a good shot, although the real money shot is going to be me doing a full body dive through her neck followed by tearing her head off. I actually hope it stays big so I can get a picture of me standing on her giant decapacitated skull[/I] 

He zoomed forward at full speed intending to follow through with his actions. Only to be surprised when he slammed into Selena and this time the blow didn’t cause her body to crumble. Instead it was like ramming into a wall of rubber. “What the hell.” Hyperion flew backwards then flew into her neck again feeling like he just body slammed a giant Mr. Fantastic. He quickly flew around her body punching and kicking her in the temple, neck, both of her shoulders and finally a double kick to her stomach. He then flew farther back at superhuman speeds changing his vision to X Ray wanting to see if perhaps her body had changed to being made of rubber, he had studied her profile & knew she could absorb powers from mutants she drained of life.

To his surprise the composition of her physical make up was still that of a regular woman, meaning another power or trick was at play here. “Come on man I like getting a good beat down on camera as much as the next god or ultimate, but If you don’t kill Nadarista I’m going to claim the glory.” Ares spoke as he unleashed a blast of invisible force that sent Travis sprawling through multiple parked cars, followed by a wave of energy to disintegrate a female member of the order that had charged him after “Flaming on” like human torch. He yawned as he disintegrate the pryokinetic woman and turned around at super speeds kicking another mutant woman sending her flying into the sky until she collided with a statue of a knight, instantly dying as her body was impaled through the statue’s blade.

“Why won’t you just die” Hyperion’s eyes surged with red energy as he unleashed his heat vision on Nadarista. Selena yelled out seemingly in pain as the uber powerful heat beams clashed against her breast. He continued putting more pressure into his powerful beams until he felt his eyes starting to overheat & itch thus he stopped. Selena’s body had no apparent burn marks and she grinned although she stumbled backwards shaking a bit as if in the early stages of a seizure.

“Go DOWN” Hyperion propelled his body like a cannon ball slamming into Selena, bu this time she went flying her whole body went aerial going over a row of buildings and crashing into one that wasn’t under Agatha’s protection spell. It was only due to his sharp super hearing that he could hear Agatha cursing about how his last blow had made her magical efforts to protect these powerless bystanders look bad, although he wasn’t concerned. Everything could be blamed on Nadarista, unless of course someone got that blow that sent her flying on camera. In which case he’d have to melt their recording device at super speed and maybe the recorder as well because stitches wasn’t enough for his stitches, disintegration was the modern way. “Haven’t you ever heard the phrase it’s not all about the size or however it goes.”

“Haven’t you ever heard the phrase get bent, bitch” Selena retorted as she got up from the building Hyperion’s attack had rammed her Into. Hyperion surged forward only to be shocked when Selena raised up her giant elbow with enough speed to not only block his attack but knock him back. She then punched him releasing kinetic energy gathered from him in a powerful explosive blow. The hero was sent flying through the air bloody while she used said kinetic energy to speed walk no doubt stomping out the lives of nosy citizens trying to watch before her hands clasped around Hyperion. “Now your mine” She gloated using her base power to began draining life force energy from the solar hero. She cackled manically as energy surged from the living sun battery leader of the Ultimates into her giant form.

Within minutes she released her grasp of Hyperion then spun around kicking him sending him crashing into one of the protection spell buildings. The force of the kick overwhelming the spell causing him to cave in a few floors of the building. “Damn that hurt like a motherfucker.” Hyperion cried out wiping blood from his face as it felt like he got hit by himself only giant sized. Not only that he felt a pinge of fatigue as so much energy had been drained from him. He looked up picking up a massive amount of heat in the massive extremist, and his eyes widened in shock. “No damn it….she used one power to get my kinetic energy and then her own power…to get mines..”

In response to his fear fueled comments Selena could only clap her hands in applause. “That’s right you Superman rip off, wow I must say this super hearing trick of yours is wonderful. I admit when I get this big sometimes it’s hard to here the full amount of pain & distress of the squishy humans below but now I can hear it all, it’s like HD hearing, honestly all of your power is just so fucking amazing!!!!! I didn’t know if it would work what with you not being a mutant, but I’m happy to say this experiment worked out tremendously pun most intended. It’s been a while since I’ve said this to one of my victims, but truly Hyperion I must say thank you for your power.”

“Oh shit…” Hyperion cursed as he almost covered his eyes from the bright glare that came from Selena’s gargantuan eyes. Honestly that helped brace himself for the impact of her laser eyes that demolished the entire building he crashed into, only the heroes loud screams could be heard.

“What the fuck Hyperion!!” Agatha yelled out upon seeing the massive explosion generated from the building being demolished. Ares whipped his head around too only to see the giant Selena vanished. 

“Damn it I told him not to screw around, his energy signature faded, wait now he has two energy signatures, but where’s the other..” Ares voice trailed off as he used his godly powers to fully access the situation that was turning around in the enemy’s favor
“AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”Agatha cried out as a normal sized Selena stood behind her having punched a hole through her chest and used her base powers again to drain the witch of life, now at superhuman speeds coursesy of Hyperion’s powers. “ARES HEEEELPP”
“Shut up witch” Selena said sadistically as she cast a spell engulfing the woman in mystical energy causing cobra snakes of darkness to spawn from her body that began biting into Agatha’s, followed by another spell that summoned burning hot sand in a wave the sent her body flailing across the street crashing into a nearby deli.

“Agatha!” Ares ran forward body slamming two mutants and a convoy of MRD agents to get over to his magical team-mate. He quickly took her in his arms using a full body energy wave to blast apart the sand wave, and suddenly caused multiple plasma rifles to appear in the air surrounding Selena. Using his powers over war to surround her in armed and ready to fire plasma rifles infused with his divine olympian energy.

“Now you die! FIRE!!” Ares cried out commanding the assortment of floating godly rifles to blast her into oblivion.
“Not so fast” Selena cried out quickly muttering an incantation at super speed causing sigils to appear around the whole city block banishing Ares & Agatha both from the area. The anti godly sigils also banished the row of floating rifles around her just in time. As soon as she completed the banishing spell she let out a sigh of relief, as the amount of power in the attack would have rendered her mortal coil lifeless even with the power she’d just taken from Hyperion & Agatha, as Ares had poured his full rage into that war manipulation attack.

“Hmph well that takes care of that and with a wonderful parting gift.” [I]II’ve got magic running through my body with greater potential then anything I could have learned from my mama, and the Loud mouthed so called leader’s solar powers speak for themselves.[/I] She was ecstatic with the newfound power flowing through her body. When the Ultimate had begun their joint assault on here mere moments after kicking & stomping this Oscorp facility into dust, she expected the worst.

She burst into the air pile diving through four MRD hover vehicles, her newly gained strength doing critical damage to each vehicle.She only laugh as they spun out of control while she added to the damage with a blast of heat vision tearing through said four vehicles sending them plummeting to the streets below two crashing into buildings and the other two literally raining down onto the street below.

Members of the Phoenix Order could be heard cheering for their leader & themselves as the tide of the battle had turned completely in their favor with the defeat of Hyperion, Ares & Agatha.”Time to shake things up a bit, to deliver a message to our people that soon we shall rise again from the ashes of the hellish grave humanity has dug for us. Our Dark Flaming Winged leader’s return is imminent and so is our domination of humanity that endured during her previous reign of power.” Her voice carried to all the members of the phoenix order present on the battlefield that were still alive as well as all attacking NYPD, MRD & even bystander civilians. 

The declaration of the originator of the Dark Phoenix Crisis who had plunged the earth & rest of the galaxy/universe at large into chaos had done exactly as she intended. While the responding law enforcement to the destruction didn’t allow ant outside fear or panic to manifest the same could not be said for the civilians who were already worried & full of distress.  With that she utilized her mass powers to alter her height to gargantuan proportions once again. Using her newfouund mystical prowess she muttered an incantation which carved phoenix symbols into the arriving Alpha Sentinels as well as the deployed oscorp drones below.

Altering their functions to be protectors of mutantkind &. Hunters of humans as well as all things not mutants. With their new orders the mystically turned alpha sentinels & oscorp drones turned to open fire on MRD, NYPD & innocent bystanders. Selena used her powers over darkness to began enveloping the members of the order using shadow teleportation to remove them from the battle worn streets of NYC from around the scene of the oscorp attack.  “Time for me to make my escape as well but I leave you this parting gift.” Mustering up the powers of darkness she formed massive shadow tendrils that soared in every direction through police cruisers, MRD vehicles, and smashing through several buildings around the area full of people, followed by heat vision while still massive decimating the buildings already torn into by her shadow tendrils. Laughing manically she reverted to normal size allowing the darkness to consume her as she too shadow traveled to the same location she had the shadows take the other members of the order.
