xp_logsThe X-men arrive on scene and take in the situation...
The first hint of dying daylight was already becoming clear as the X-men gathered on the torn up street and took in the sight in front of them. A twenty feet tall horse made of purple-red-blackish energy was galloping towards them, three cars crumbling in front of their eyes. In the middle a girl was just visible behind the shimmering energy.
"Seriously? The mounted cops needs to do this? Fuck..." Kane took a deep breath and jumped, grabbing the ethereal mane and hauling himself aboard. "I'm going to die up here! Soon! Help!"
Rogue rolled her eyes. Drama queen. "Hold your horses, Dominion. Going off all half-cocked again." He wasn't going to die anytime soon.
She turned her attention to Jean. "Can ya reach the girl in there? Do we really have to deal with that giant nightmare?". Oh yah -- she was on fire today.
All around them people scrambled to run. Some were screaming, practically tripping over themselves as they took off in the opposite direction, while the braver ones had paired with the police nearby to try to help minimize damage as best they could.
Staring up at Garrison riding the giant horse, Jean quirked a brow out of bewilderment, then tried to focus in on the mind of the girl behind the destruction.
She quickly hit the equivalent of a telepathic brick wall surrounded by an electric fence.
Letting out a faint grunt, her eyes clenched shut and she reflexively put her hand to her temple. Opening her eyes a couple of moments later, she grimly shook her head at Rogue.
"I can't. I can't get in. She's blocking me somehow. I suspect it's unconscious, like a side effect of her powers. We need to figure out another way."
The tall man next to her was frowning. "Whatever's forming the shell is also repulsing my telekinesis," Haller reported, mild irritation his only reaction to the two-story apparition currently being ridden by a teammate. "I can't grip it."
Angel just watched Kane, her mouth hanging open just a bit as she observed what was possibly the strangest rodeo ever. "Man, should've gotten him a cowboy hat first." She shook her head before refocusing on the task at hand. "Right, so. How do you stop a giant horse."
"Don't let him hear ya say that. Bad enough he'll probably be wearin' his Mountie hat for a week after this." He didn't think anyone else was going to join Kane up there and his claws weren't going to do anything against the shield. "Get it outta the city first then we deal with stoppin' it. Between all of us, someone's gotta come up with somethin' that'll work."
Kurt was watching the continuing situation almost helplessly, unable to teleport in past the energy shield any more than his teammates could bypass it for their own interventions.
And then he saw Garrison go flying, thrown from the horse, and instantly bamfed into his path to catch him.
With Kurt catching Kane, there was no reason for her to 'port over too, so Clarice just looked around wildly for a moment. The psi's were having trouble. The wild horses were SO out of her realm of anything and then there was crowd control. Right. THAT she could do. "Shit!" she called, scrambling on top of a car and opening a portal before a horse ran into a mother trying to get out of the way with a stroller and small children. "Let's get people out of here!" she called to the others.
"I say yes to that!" Sooraya added, already pulling another woman out of the way.
Jean-Phillipe wasn't much good at crowd control. But the horse seemed to be shaking off almost everything thrown at it. "Cyclops?" he asked deferentially, thanking god his cousin wasn't around to tease him on the way he acted around Scott.
Scott nodded, his eye's flicking quickly over the surrounding area, "Dominion," he nodded at the recent rodeo rider, "Take Blink, Marvel Girl and Nightcrawler and get the civilian's out of here. Start moving them towards the east, Firestar, Legion, Bevatron, you're with me. Let's see how much the horse likes bright lights, electricity and flames, we need to push it west out of the city or at least somewhere we can deal with her without catching anyone else in the crossfire." The X-man turned to Logan, "I need you break through that shell. You, Rogue and Dust are maybe the only people who can physically stop her, or even stand any chance of breaking through. We'll hold her still, you pull her out" Scott glanced around at the team, "Let's get these people to safety and get that girl back to her parents."
