Attack on Xavier's ((Open to All X-ers on Campus))

[ngm_miscellaneous]

Class had only been in session for a couple days at Xavier's. Labor Day had come and gone. There were more students on campus than in previous semesters. The buzz from first day jitters had settled down. Routines were starting to be picked up. It was currently the small span of time between the end of classes for the day and the beginning of after-school activities.

A mile from the main house, a very determined man wearing purple and dark blue was setting up. He took note of various things like the range to the target, wind direction, wind velocity, air density, elevation, and the Coriolis effect. As well as the effect the window he was going to shoot through would have on his very special bullet. He peered through his scope. This would be an extremely tricky shot, but the entire operation was waiting on him to start it. He needed to take out the biggest problem on that campus. The new construction getting into his way didn't help matters.

He eventually lined up a clear shot and waited. He caught a flash of red in the window. The target must have been sitting at her desk. The sniper grinned slightly to himself. He took in a breath, let it half out, and then squeezed the trigger.
The one-of-a-kind bullet made of non-magnetic material blasted out of the barrel of the sniper rifle. His aim was dead on. He quickly tapped the signal to have the first ones launch their attack.

The walls along Graymalkin Lane were breached explosively in multiple places. Most near security nodes to delay the time the security system roused. Men and women in black tabards with white crosses poured through the openings. They ran toward the buildings and any visible muties on the grounds. They all had been itching for some action since the debacle at Veridian Dynamics. Being underground for this long made the need for mutie blood strong among the Purifiers.

Once Rose was out the door, she could see a group of Purifiers heading right for the door she came out. They didn't stop their power-assisted charge when she appeared. Instead, the front couple raised their weapons and came at her.

[wild_child]

Rose leaped into the air, letting out a primal road. As she came down, she activated her psychic claws. Though they were a a fairly newly developed power, she'd already gotten good with them. Against metal or wood or other artificial materials, they could slice through it even better than her natural, retractable set could.

Against people, they were the equivalent of a telepathic bolt to their entire system.

As she came down, she slashed out.

[ngm_villains]

The first two were unprepared for the telepathic shocks to their systems, going down to the floor, spasming. The other learned from their mistakes, forgoing melee weapons in order to bring out guns, gearing up to open fire.

[wild_child]

Rose dodged part of the first volley of shots, but another pair of bullets tore through her left shoulder. The force of it rocked her back, but she didn't cry out, didn't give them the satisfaction.

She was already healing.

"That th' best ya got, boys?"

[ngm_villains]

"Don't let her bait you! This mutie's a monster! Keep firing!"

They did as ordered, opening a new volley of bulletfire at Rose.

[wild_child]

Rose did her best to dodge the bullets, but got clipped once or twice. Either way, she kept moving, refusing to be knocked down. When she got close again, she ducked low to get beneath their guard, coming up with her claws.

[ngm_villains]

Rose managed to get a couple more on the ground, gasping for breath and seizing as their brains went haywire. Though some more opportune Purifiers used their compatriots failure to cover them as they tried to shoot point-blank at Rose's head.

Another was trying to get around behind her with a pair of vibranium batons. Overkill was no such thing against mutants.

[wild_child]

A fortunate set of circumstances (depending on who you ask, anyway) occurred. Rose dodged slightly out of the way of the shot, but the blast tore through her shoulder and knocked her down, bleeding profusely.

This, at least, saved her from a vibranium head knocking.

Didn't mean it didn't hurt like hell though.

[ngm_villains]

The two Purifiers shooting held their fire as they let their compatriot with the batons go after the downed mutie.

With a swing and a miss, the Purifier was a bit off-balance. Rather than regain his balance, he tried pushing forward with an attack. He swung the batons downward to try to start beating the mutie into a pulp.

[wild_child]

Wincing in pain, and realizing more was coming, Rose rolled onto her wounded shoulder, slashing with her remaining hand.

[ngm_villains]

The Purifier trying to put the beat down on Rose was not quite prepared for the ankle attack. His ankles were not as armored as other parts of his body. He screamed and fell forward toward Rose.

The other two were still holding fire.

[wild_child]

Rose forced herself to her feet, shoving the falling Purifier away.

She eyed the other two, a snarl on her lips as her psychic claws crackled. "You two sad-sacks want some of this?"

[ngm_villains]

One of them pulled out a pair of knives. The other held her gun steady.

"You don't scare us." Were they scared?

Maybe a little bit.

But she had to die anyway.

"You really wanna test us to find out?"

[wild_child]

Rose grinned a feral grin.

"Oh, I'm gonna enjoy this."

She took a single step back and then ran, turning that into a flying leap, pyschic claws out to slash.

[ngm_villains]

The one with the guns started yelling in fear and slashing at the air, all willy nilly. He would be no match for Rose.

Nor would the girl with the gun.

[wild_child]

Rose struck quickly, psychic claws leaving a slight sizzle in the air. When they were downed, she looked around carefully, trying to find a new target.
