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.

When the bazooka came through the door, Richard only had a second to react, so he instantly transformed it into a vaporous form. “Okay, now what to do with this,” he stated. It certainly couldn’t be returned to its normal form without a proper target, and by proper he meant non-living and well out of the way.

Thinking quickly, he sent the vapor outside and toward the trees off in the distance, and after a moment he lost sight of it. This was quickly followed by an explosion, which still left the problem of the Purifiers who had just tried to blow him up. “So, is that the best you got,” he yelled at them.

The Purifier with the bazooka cussed and backed out of the way. He motioned for one of his compatriots to come over. While the original Purifier tossed the bazooka aside to draw out a gun, the other Purifier stepped to the door with a flamethrower.

"Probably shouldn't have asked that question," he muttered. A gun and a flamethrower were in front of him, and all that he had was the power to make himself and other things into vapor. Richard was sort of regretting not having a weapon right now.

It was then he remembered the first tie that his mother caught him using his powers, and a smirk appeared on his face.

"That is a nice toy you got there," he said as he focused his power on the flamethrower and only the flamethrower. It took him a lot of focus, but he transformed the fiery weapon into vapor and brought it to him before reverting it back to its original form.

Picking up the gun piece, he aimed it at the men. "Hope you don't mind if I borrow it," he said as he pulled the trigger.

The Purifier got wide-eyed when his flamethrower was nothing but vapor. He watched a little dumbly as it traveled as vapor.

The other Purifier in the hallway grabbed the one in the doorway by the tabard and yanked him out of the doorway. Just in time for a gout of flame to sizzle some of that skin.

Richard watched as the men got out of the way of the stream of fire that he had just blasted at them.

"I am definitely asking for one of these on my next birthday."

He kept shooting bursts of fire with it to keep the men from entering through this doorway, but he knew that the tank was going to run dry eventually.

The Purifiers stayed out of the way while he shot the flames out. It wouldn't be too long know. They were a group of fire-happy Purifiers, after all.

One of them got a frag grenade ready.

Any time now.

When the flame started to shrink, Richard knew that he was in trouble, so he quickly dropped the useless weapon and began looking for an alternative one.

"Of course, there aren't any around," he muttered.

With no other option in mind, he figured it was time to use his non-offensive power to his advantage, so he focused and transformed into a vapor form. Perhaps there would be another opportunity to commandeer one of the men's arsenal at a later point or at least give them a new distraction of some kind.
