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.

Monet Yvette Clarisse Maria Therese St. Croix | M

[ngm_xmen]

Monet Yvette Clarisse Maria Therese St. Croix - commonly known as Monet, less commonly but more economically known as M - frowned darkly. Right now, she could have been luxuriating on a beach in Thailand or Bali, having something delicious and alcoholic, reading something trashy and low-brow.

Instead, she'd returned to the fold at Rachel's behest to help out with some students.

And deal with things like this, apparently.

She had been helping to herd the students to safety when she heard the commotion and panic coming from outside. When she'd gone to check, she'd seen that little stunt show in the sky.

Disappointment gave way to anger. It was unfair for the kids to have to go through this much in so short a time. It really was.

Darting out the window, Monet let out an angry yell, wishing for a moment that her set of perfect powers included a sonic scream like her friend Siryn's.

She did, though, let loose with a flurry of telepathic bombs, a skill she'd learned a little from Betsy Braddock.

One of the Prime Sentinels plummeted out of the sky when the telepathic bombs exploded in her mind. She hit the ground with a bone-jarring thud.

Though once one of the Prime Sentinels was down, the others seemed less affected by Monet's telepathic attacks.

Okay, they adapted. They learned. They moved forward.

Mind games wouldn't work? Fine.

That's why she had muscle, too. Monet could just as easily be a flying bullet as she could anything else.

She shot after one of the closest Prime Sentinels, arms outstretched. She'd smash into it and take it down.

The Prime Sentinel turned to face M and got knocked across the lawn for his effort. He tumbled end over end in the air until he hit the firmament. He got buried in the furrow he made across the ground.
