Chpt-1 Gambit

SPLASH!

The water rippled as a pair of booted feet flew over the ground. Rain roared down as the chase went on, the Sentinels had to be the most annoying things on the planet and there was only so much he could do. Gritting his teeth he pushed himself forward he risked a glance back to see three flying on his tail; he had to find a hiding place and fast! He booked it down an ally way gripping his slim black metal rod tightly in his left hand, why now? He was just fine with New York taking the heat, but when it came too his home that was a whole other chapter in his messed up life. His sharp eye saw a perfect spot; diving behind a trash bin he crouched down low glad to finally catch his breath. He winced as he looked down at his right leg it had a gash in it just waiting for an infection to set in. A crack of thunder followed by several bolts of lightning rained from the sky. Now, he had been in New Orleans and had seen every type of weather system you could get. This one was a bit weird it appears with all it's fury than dissipates and returns to the same ol' rain storm, he was soaked through, his long hair made him look more like wet dog if one just glanced at him. He knew darn well that his rust color leather coat was not water proof his hands were shaking both from the cold and the adrenaline leaving his body.

"Mutant DNA detected! Mutant DNA detected!"

The mutant closed his eyes not amused with this repetitive game of cat and mouse. He was prepared to bolt when he realized they weren't coming after him he saw a flash of yellow to his left. He looked behind him then headed in the direction of where that blur came from, once he was out in the street he swiftly made sure he wasn't in sight of the monstrous machines. Another flash of lightning lit the sky followed by unusual blast of wind and wasn't just a usual wind storm it was powerful enough to send building debris and trash cans flying his way. He ducked just in time as a cinder block smashed in a lamp post behind him, his eyes widened at the seen in front of him. Half a dozen mutants all dressed in the same yellow and blue suits were in a full fledged fight with two of the sentinels. He continued to watch as a dark blue mutant flashed from the street up to the sentinels head letting out around of kicks before flashing back down. Another a woman with red hair looked at a pile of pavement and lifted effortlessly in the air with out any physical movement what so ever.

"Kitty, run for it!"

The mutant watched as a girl maybe in her mid teens ran away from a wave of blast heading in her direction then was startled as she went straight through a wall of one building than appearing on the other side. This was anything but normal and just when it couldn't get anymore weird a man let out a roar as metal claws emerged from his hands and sliced an arm off the closest sentinel. A bolt of lightning struck the second one enough he thought to short circuit it, a woman with white hair dove down landing effortlessly on the street. The man with the claws looked up to see another young woman with brown hair with a streak of white on her bangs come jumping from the roof. Letting out a roaring red beam from her eyes she sent the first sentinel to crumple to the ground. The mutant couldn't believe it he was falling apart at the seams and these mutants were fighting like they do this all the time.

"Mutant DNA Detected! Mutant DNA detected!"

The mutant with the white stripe was distracted to notice another sentinel coming her way and it didn't go unnoticed by the man with the claws.

"Rogue!"

The mutant came out from his hiding place rushing past the young woman to jump in the air swinging his rod he brought it down hard on the sentinel's shoulder. As he did, a wave of red energy burst from the rod causing the machine cave under the attack and everything else around him. The mutant was satisfied but it wasn't long lasting as he was snatched up by another one and was sent flying into a building and crashing painfully hard to the ground below. Now he was mad he got up gripping his rod with all the strength he had he glared at his enemy his eyes flashing into a fuchsia color.

"I have had it up to here with you all."

He used what was left of the surroundings to aid his acrobatic attack. Flipping off on wall to land on another pushing himself to a fire escape and from there he swung his staff, as he landed on the ground below he slammed the rod into the ground sending shock wave after shock wave through the ground and up the buildings and into the machines causing each one to implode violently. The other mutants sought some means of shelter from the attack and when it ended what was left their battle field was turned into another piece of the ruin puzzle.

Panting, he winced, for a split second he thought that wasn't a good idea, but he couldn't keep running and he couldn't hide forever. So why not give helping hand at the same time you want to kill every metal contraption that walks this city. He froze as he felt eyes on him rising up slowly he realized that these mutants could be just as worse as the sentinels, taking a deep breath he once again wielded his staff spinning it around he faced the group in front of him glaring at them.

"Wait!" the young woman said as she stepped forward.

The mutant eyed her but kept close attention to the group beside her.

"We mean you no harm."

"That tune has been sung more than once to me, honey. I'm not buying it."

"Listen, if we wanted to hurt you we would have done it already."

The mutant straightened slightly but he would not let his guard down. "Are you Sinister's men? If you are you do not want to mess with me."

"Sinister? No, we're friends we help mutants, just like you." Kitty spoke up.

"Thanks but no thanks I can take care of myself thank you very much."

The blue mutant stepped forward. "vhat ve say is the truth."

"Right." the mutant said his sarcasm not missed by any of them.

"Listen, bub, if you want to tango will tango but that is your choice." the man said.

He definitely wasn't in the mood for fighting and they did seem to be genuine in what they say. However, he learned more than once in his life that not all is what they seem. Well, his mind was sizing them up his body decided for him, he let out a gasp clutching his side when he removed his hand a nice coat of red stained his hand.

As he looked at his shaking palm he managed to utter something from his lips.

"That aien't right."

He collapsed to the ground unconscious as the rain pelted the ground around him.
