New Mutants West #8 - Under the Knife
Post by Armando "Army" Rosewell on Jul 13, 2007, 2:51am

Cover: A rack, with a bunch of assorted jars, each one containing an organ or some kind. Neatly labeled, too…Jake, Baby, Krystal, Paige…

—-

The New Mutants West. Betrayed. Captured. Their lives are on the line, as they're forced to jump through hoops, subjected to a never-ending gauntlet designed only to showcase their powers - can Paige and her new ally save them?

Not likely.

Coming…Sunday.

The New Mutants West (minus Paige and Army, of course) wake to find themselves in a large, white room; not unlike their Training Room - spacious and white and covered with hi-tech looking walls. The only real difference is that there doesn’t seem to be an exit of any kind - they’re locked inside.

What happened to them is hazy. They were sleeping. Something or someone attacked the school; they can remember being surprised by an intruder in their rooms…but there was a strange smell, and a woman’s soothing voice echoed in their heads.

The woman told them “Sleep.” And they did.

[All right, get accustomed, and I'll post the rest in a minute. TEO, don't worry, Paige'll be up soon.]

Keira wakes up rubbing her eyes, "In orientation, they never mentioned the late night kidnappings." Keira looks genuinely annoyed by this fact. It's just better for her to focus on that then freaking out at the fact she has been kidnapped.

Post by Armando "Army" Rosewell on Jul 15, 2007, 10:21pm

The confusion doesn’t last long.

“Greetings, New Mutants West.” Another woman’s voice, this one older, bolder, with a distinct hint of Latino. “My name is Carmen Rosewell. I don’t care if you know me from the other teams’ experiences and I don’t care if you have some petty threat to throw my way - I am in control of this situation. I captured you. The numbers on the back of your necks were tattooed there by me. They are how you will be identified from this moment on. Your names are not important. Your lives are irrelevant. You are now, completely, my property. You will die - how soon, how painful, and how productive that death will be is my decision alone.”

The voice cuts away. Silence again.

—-

Carmen smiles, looking down at her gathered from a viewing room suspended above, hidden. She turns to Paige with a smirk. “I’ll give them a few minutes to digest things - I’ll need some sense out of them for what’s about to happen.” She turns around in full, approaching her ‘protégé’. “Not bored, I hope.”


Re: New Mutants West #8 - Under the Knife

Keira doesn't sense any animals - any normal animals, anyway. There are a number of odd creatures she can feel, though, but she can't makes sense of them - each one seems like a horrible abomination of a normal animal. And none of them are happy.

"Sorry, no popcorn. You'll just have to make due with the entertainment." She picks up a phone, dialing a quick extension. "Yes, Dhaara? Tell them to let out Eclipse into the training room, it's time for his test run. After that, head up here with Paige's package."

As the NMW sit and talk amongst themselves, a massive compartment opens up from the other side of the room, looking like it could house some monstrous, massive beast, like the Rancor or a cyclops.

Instead, this walks out.

And I notice Abby's not here either…curiouser and curiouser…

Post by Armando "Army" Rosewell on Jul 15, 2007, 10:39pm

"Yes, package…well, more or less. It's just some trash I need you to dispose of."

Two girls, about Paige's age walk in. The first is a little taller than Paige, probably due to her rather long legs - or it could be a sort of optical illusion with her hair, which is running the length of her back. She wears glasses, looks rather demure.

The other girl is Dhaara, better known as Naga - a former Hellions member, who Paige might remember from school.

They're carrying Army along with them. He's beaten, battered, unconscious - but alive.

Carmen hands Paige a gun. "Kill him."

Post by Armando "Army" Rosewell on Jul 15, 2007, 10:41pm

The creature doesn't respond to Baby's attack - at least, not in the way she expected. Instead of screaming in pain, his body morphs, changes, grows into a perfect copy of Baby herself.

"Situation assessed." It even has her voice down. "Responding."

The NMW are all caught in a massive gravimetric pull around the copycat Baby, spun around the room at high speeds.

Post by Marcus/Darya/Joshua/Ghost on Jul 15, 2007, 10:41pm

Joshua tries accessing the local CCTV's, camera's, anything, round the area to see what's going on. Think of it like gaining a lot of extra eyes in a lot of different places. Before being pulled.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! THIS TOTALLY SUCKS!!!!!"

Still trying to access the CCTV's though…

Joshua manages to get control of some visual systems - he sees that Madrock and Havok are being held in some sort of stasis field, while Deadpool is being taken apart - literally - by some scientists in another room. Also, while he can't track it, he notices that there seems to be something skirting around the security measures, trying to get in.

Moira manages to grab hold of the Clone, and it immediately changes form - the NMW go flying from the momentum, but they're mostly all right.

"Alright Louie, let's go to work!"

Jimmy tosses Louie to the boy with the pink hair, he seems more scared than everybody else. He'll try to slow him down, and hopefully let one of the smaller girls grab on so so they don't get smacked into something vicious.

He then does the best he can to try and flatten some of the larger trees to the ground, but he's sweating hard with the exertion.

As I slam into one tree after another I wish I could speak clearly enough to give the team advice.

That thing…that stupid thing can obviously morph to adapt to mutant powers, our mutant powers…or at least…mine (and who'd build a robot just to kill me?) Knowing my anime/video games right, the best thing to take this bitch down would be to attack him all at once, and he should explode. Should.

Or become a horrible robot messiah.

"Owww…." I slam into another tree and drop.

"…everyone attack him at once…"

Oh you, stupid, stupid, stupid boy.

Dhaara… name was a little familiar. Clearly, I'm not the only recruitment effort that Carmen has made. Know what else I am? Completely, thoroughly, fucked. And not in any of the fun ways.

I take the gun and cock it.

Yeah, right. Like I don't know that she knows. Stalling for a better idea.

The two girls let him drop, crossing over and standing behind Carmen at her gesture. "Paige, I'm done playing games with you. No more insinuation. No more smirks. No more straddling the fence. I want you to know just how serious I am with you right now." She flips a switch, bring a small screen to life - it shows Abby and Sadie, both knocked out in a holding cell.

"What we want, when we want, right? This is what I want - kill him. If you don't there will be consequences. Kill him, or I kill them."

The Clone moves remarkable fast, dodging Keira's attack and letting her crash to the side - as per his tactic, he immediately morphs into Keira. "Form taken. Totemistic modification. Adapting." The Clone Keira takes a monkey stance and leaps forward, kicking Jake in the head and knocking him straight out.

Right where I thought I'd be.

I can't look at him. But I'm backed into a corner with no options. If Carmen wasn't bulletproof, I would shoot her, but she is. Shooting one of her gal pals might make me feel better, but that would just get Abby and Sadie killed immediately. I've… got nothing. I like Army well enough but… Abs and Sades. It's hardly a choice.

I don't look, can't look, but I point and pull the trigger.

As they watch the spectacle below, Dhaara keeps looking at Army's body, curious. "Carmen? Your brother…"

Carmen doesn't turn around. "What?"

"His blood…I can see his blood."

"It's a lot easier to see people's blood when there's a hole in their head, Dhaara."

Dhaara groans. "No, I mean I can see his blood and I can tell it's coagulated. Look at it!"

Carmen spins around and takes a look for herself - sure enough, there's no blood pool or anything, not like you would expect with this sort of thing. "What in the-"

As if on cue, Army's skin, clothes, hair - everything melts off his body and turns into a silvery mass, which promptly slides out the door. What's left on the floor is some guy in a white clothes, looks like a patient in a hospital. And it looks like he's been dead a while before she shot him.

On his shirt, there's a note written in crayon.

"BITE ME! JUST DO IT! GOT YOU, BITCH!"

and write below that line:

"PS: Paige, if you can read this, kick their asses now, please."

A violent explosion shakes the entire facility.

And, wouldn't you know it, the moment they pop through the door, that little red girl on fire is standing right in front of the exit.

There are a bunch of guards surrounding her, taking cover behind cars, buildings, whatever - it doesn't matter. Their bullets melt long before they reach, consumed by the intense aura of heat. She motions her hand, and massive plume of flame flows from her mouth, snaking its way around the place and incinerating the guards in a moment.

Joshua reaches the correct level and pops out, his instructors holding cells right in front of him.

Assuming that laces are to be found, Moira binds Xenia's wrists and ankles with a few quick constrictor knots.

Jimmy thinks. He's never been in a situation like this, one that he couldn't control. It's very offputting, especially with Louie screaming in his ear to sic him on Carmen. But he holds his ground. There's not really much he can do, he saw the beating she took from the traitor girl. It seems all he can do is nod politely. After all, he is in the company of a lady.
