The Sentinels were originally created to capture evil mutants the government deemed too dangerous for humanity, however, one of the Sentinels' creators (Trask) decided that ALL mutants were dangerous, and redesigned the robots to target Professor Xavier and his School For Gifted Youngsters in New York City. A small band of X-Men retaliated, battling the Sentinels while their colleagues ventured forth to save Xavier and his students. Fighting topside on the surface of the military base were: Storm, Polaris, Colossus, and Thunderbird. Gail force winds, thunder and lightning, torrential rain, hail and sleet blustered through the Rocky Mountains as Storm used all of the elements of nature at her disposal to strike down as many Sentinels as her lightning bolts could strike. Colossus turned his flesh and blood into organic steel, ripping up tons of granite rock to hurl at his robotic opponents. Once the robots hit the ground, Colossus would stomp them to death, ripping apart their metal husk into millions of tiny pieces. Sentinels zeroed in, targeting him as one of the most formidable mutants as they rushed to attack. During the battle Colossus was hit with several arsenals which nearly rendered him unconscious. Seeing her teammate's peril, Polaris used her powers over magnesium to use Colossus' body as a weapon, using his mighty bulk as a power ball to bowl the Sentinels over. But with each Sentinel they rendered inoperable, another took its place, coming up out of the large entry hole in the military base's floor. "We have to close that hole...!" said Thunderbird, morphing into a black bear as he mauled a Sentinel to pieces with his sharp claws and teeth. "Leave that to me...!" said Polaris, soaring skyward as the rain and sleet tore at her lovely face. Her teammates covered her as she closed her eyes and concentrated on the military base, using her powers over metal to bring the entire surface of the base down on the hole. Iron and steel beams crumbled and collapsed to her will, crashing in on itself and trapping and destroying many of the Sentinels before they could exit from the underground base. Underground, the second team of X-Men (Beast, Cyclops, Karma, and Spirit) felt the underground base shake from the collapse topside. "We'd best to get a move on, children...!" informed Beast, as Karma (managing to mentally snag the brains of several armed army personnel) forced them to escort her team to where they were holding the students captive. "The students are behind that door...!" informed Karma, coming upon large double metal doors which the solders had no access beyond. "Leave that to me...!" said Cyclops, adjusting the settings on his visor as he focused his eyes on the large door. His teammates stood back as a focused red eyebeam shot from Cyclops' visor, ripping through the metal door as if it were made of paper. The large metal doors broke open and collapsed like a deck of playing cards. "We're in!" announced Beast, as Karma used her mental control over the solders to make them go in first with their rifles drawn. As the dust cleared, multiple red laser marks appeared on the soldiers, as Sentinels (armed with the latest defenses) marked their targets for death. "HOLD FIRE..." said one of the Sentinels, monitoring the door. "...LIFEFORMS ENTERING ARE HUMAN." "Thanks for the tip, asshole!" said Karma, as the soldiers aimed their automatic weapons up at the robots and opened fire. Bullets rang out by the hundreds, ricocheting off steel and iron as the soldiers ventured forth in a straight line. The Sentinels (programmed to protect human lives) held fire, even as some of the bullets pierced their armored plates and began to destroy circuitry. When the soldiers ran out of ammo and began to reload, the Sentinels descended, shooting the humans with tranquilizers and gas grenades. "I've lost contact with the soldiers...!" said Karma panic struck, as the soldiers fell to the ground unconscious. "Then it looks like we have to do the rest on our own...!" informed Beast, jumping in through the entrance with a mighty leap, nabbing one of the fallen soldier's automatic weapons and returned fire on one of the Sentinels. The bullets pierced the robot's already cracked shell, exposing vital programming. Cyclops focused his eyebeams on the exposed circuitry, then blew the Sentinel's head off with one shot. "You heard the Beast..., it's now or never!" yelled Cyclops, following Beast's charge as he ran through the entrance on foot. Karma and Spirit ran in after them. "My powers don't work against the robots..., they aren't afraid of anything...!" complained Spirit, having the psychic ability to conjure man's most terrifying fears. "Then find another way to fight...!" said Karma, running over to one of the computer consoles with another fallen soldier's rifle and began shooting at the circuit board. "Help me free the students...!" she screamed, firing wildly as smoke and sparks began to shoot out of the broken console... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SCENE-2<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Not far away in one of the base's air ducts (hidden from the scans of the Sentinels), were The Black Panther, Bishop, and Forge. Forge had just been disciplined by The Panther (for his arrogance and disrespect) by getting butt fucked up the ass during a mission. Forge took the fucking like a man, receiving the full length of Panther's dick before the Avenger filled his asshole full of his African mandingo load. But just when Forge believed his torture was over (with Panther's climax), Bishop climbed onto his back and inserted his own cock. The 17 year old visitor from the future had been fucking Forge's no longer virgin asshole for the last 5 full minutes, hammering at his sore backside with deep penetrating blows, deliberately trying to cause the older man discomfort for purposely needling him and Storm during their rocky relationship. Forge bit hard into his lower lip, afraid to make any sudden noises for fear that the automated machines would sense their presence before their rescue efforts could be completed. Bishop humped his hips into Forge's ass, driving his thick black dick well deep into the older man's vulnerable ass. He could feel the tightness of Forge's hot hairy hole squeezing his plunging shaft as he drilled through the path already laid by the Black Panther. Panther's thick rich cum load coated Bishop's fat dick as it plunged in and out of Forge's ass, making the second rape much easier than the first. Forge could feel the enormously hard dick pummeling his bowels, ramming deep into his bloated colon with strong force. Bishop held him tightly, keeping him prisoner as he continued to drive his swollen cock home. After the relentless fuckings of both black men, Forge's body began to deceive him by actually relaxing and adapting to the thrusting spearing deeply through his body. Bishop could feel the hole giving way as it accepted his plunges with growing ease. "T'Challa was right..." said the futuristic youth as he whispered into Forge's ear. "...you ARE becoming a pussy-boy!" he teased, increasing the speed of his thrusts as he drilled Forge's hole harder. "Admit it...you like having our hard dicks in your hot pussy...!" "No..., I don't...!" said Forge, shutting his eyes tight to block out Bishop's taunting. "You can't deny it..." said Bishop, never letting up as his dick plunged balls deep with every inward thrust. "...T'Challa felt it when he was fucking you, and I can feel it now! You love this...! Your body can't lie!" "Fuck you, Bishop! I don't like it!" argued Forge, unconsciously throwing his ass back to capture more dick. "Lie all you want, white man..., but your body is telling me how much you like it!" taunted Bishop. "I can feel your pussy swallowing me up..., trying to get me to cum inside you! Your body's hungry for it! If I've lost Storm forever, I'm gonna make YOU'RE my new cum dump!" said the teen, making Forge moan aloud against his own will. Forge's erect cock started pulsing and pumping fresh cum onto the air ducts' metal flooring as Bishop continued to ride him. "I can feel you cumming...!" said the teenager, feeling the asshole spasm around his manhood. "Your pussy's squeezing my dick to death..., you're gonna make me cum inside you...! Do you want it, pussy boy...?" "Yes..." moaned Forge out loud for the first time. "...give it to me! Cum in me! I want it!" "Here it cums...!" warned Bishop, shoving in all the way as his dick suddenly unloaded. "...ARRRHHH...!!" groaned Bishop as thick heavy streams of semen poured from his pulsating dick and balls, flooding Forge's bowels with its second load of cum. Forge could feel the cock pulsing in his ass, his warm bowels accepting the heated jets of creamy juice as his sphincter muscles milked the throbbing shaft for all it was worth. Bishop was slowly regaining his spent energy when the air duct they had been hiding in suddenly broke apart, causing the 3 males to spill out onto the ground in the open. "MUTANTS...!" said one of the patrolling Sentinels, having heard the cries coming from the air duct, its eyes glowing bright red with energy it was ready to fire. "Move...!!" yelled Bishop, shoving Forge aside as the beam of energy shot from its eyes and hit Bishop head on. Bishop yelled out loud in searing pain, naked from the waist down as his mutant abilities reshaped and reformed the energy, then repelled back on the Sentinel, blowing a large hole through the robot's metal chest. The robot slowly feel over like an old trashcan. Bishop fell down on his hands and knees weakly, still recovering from his intense orgasm as Forge and T'Challa looked on in awe. "You did well, Bishop..." said T'Challa, patting the young man on the back. "...but we must get a move on..., more robots will be here soon!" he added, jumping to his feet. Bishop pulled up his pants, tucking his soft dick as he looked over at a frightened Forge. "It's time...!" he said, signaling the older X-Man to get ready for battle. Forge pulled up his pants (which had been dragged down about his ankles), then searched his pockets for the weapon he invented before leaving the mansion. "If I can find the computer's mainframe, I should be able to offset its programming with this...!" he said, pulling out a miniature decoder. "Then we need to get you to the mainframe...!" said Black Panther, looking towards the ceiling. "The mainframe would need a lot of juice to power such a demand on technology..., so we should follow the largest power lines..." he suggested. "...which will lead us directly to the mainframe...of course!" agreed Forge. "Whatever..., let's just get to it!" said Bishop, eager to get the mission over with. Following Panther's lead, the 3 men follow the biggest power lines leading deeper into the base compound... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SCENE-3<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< As the battle raged with the X-Men and Black Panther verses The Sentinel Robots, Professor Charles Xavier (the world's greatest telepath) found himself trapped between two man sized Sentinels, both fucking his weary body at both ends, shoving their man made dicks through his sore swollen orifices as the continued to shoot an endless supply of oily semen like poison into his body. Xavier's head lay tiled backward off one end of an examination tables upside down, as a Sentinel drone rammed his artificial hips back and forth, driving its prostatic penile limb in and out of Xavier's ballooned throat. Professor Xavier could barely concentrate as the spermish poisons entered into his blood stream and began shutting down his system. The Sentinel fucking Xavier's throat rammed in, causing the Professor's throat to bulge obscenely as he started to shoot more poisonous seed down his throat. At the same time the Sentinel at his ass was slamming into his bowels, its oiled slicked dick sliding easily through the Professor's loosened hole. The Sentinels clutched Xavier's waist as it slammed its hips forth, then unloaded a torrent of oil based seed into his asshole. This last double dose was just enough poison to push the Professor over the edge, causing Xavier's body to shake and convulse orgasmic, before falling dead and limp on the table. Trask watched with less enthusiasm than he thought, as the life slowly seeped from Professor X's body. With the Professor's death, Trask thought he would have closure, but it was quite the opposite as he felt even emptier now that he had had his revenge and his evil task had been completed. Xavier's death changed nothing, as Trask's family was still dead. Suddenly he realized that no level of revenge would satisfy his loss, his family would still forever be gone. He suddenly regret killing the Professor and kidnapping his students. But even as Trask tried to stop the current programming and redirect the Sentinels to free the prisoners, the prime directive overrode his new commands, as the computer mainframe sent Sentinel guards in to subdue Trask. "Wha...what're you doing...??!" he asked, as the two Sentinels that had fucked Professor Xavier to death, retracted their erections and broke into the main control room where Trask commanded. "YOU HAVE TRIED TO CHANGE OUR PROGRAMMING..." said one of the robots, breaking in through the observation window. "...WE CANNOT ALLOW YOU TO TAMPER WITH OUR PRIMARY DIRECTIVE!" "I'm Trask..." yelled the scientist, backing against the wall defensively. "...security clearance 7-8-1-2-8-4-1-1! I command you to shut down and cease all actions!" he ordered. "NEGATIVE, DOCTOR!" answered the Sentinel, standing guard. "I created you...!" shouted Trask. "I programmed your data...! I command you to shut down now!" "NEGATIVE! YOUR LOGIC CONFLICTS WITH OUR PRIMARY DIRECTIVE! HUMANS ARE TO BE PROTECTED FROM MUTANTKIND BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY! WE WILL NOT DIVERT FROM THAT PROGRAM!" "I was wrong..." argued Trask, breaking down at the thought of Xavier's death on his hands. "...we have no right to take a life, no matter who it is! That's the core basis of our humanity! Without it, we're no better than they are!" "THIS LOGIC DOESNOT COMPUTE!" said the Sentinel, emotionlessly. "MUTANTS ARE A DANGER TO MANKIND, AND THEREFORE MUST BE TERMINATED!" "Noooooo...!!" yelled Trask, seeing the error of his ways too late. Trask realized that the Sentinel's mainframe must have programmed a backup grid in case anyone tried to tamper with its programming. In essence, the computer was beginning to make its own decisions. `Computers cannot be allowed to make complicated human decisions', thought Trask, knowing he needed to do something or else all of Xavier's students would suffer the same fate as the Professor. Leaving the mainframe behind, Trask walked over to the computer monitors showing Xavier's imprisoned students in various states of suspended animation. The Sentinels made no move to stop him (since he was not endangering the mainframe) as he began to key in codes to awaken the students. In a secured section of the base a few levels down, the cells were unlocked, freeing Xavier's students. "SENSORS INDICATE MUTANT PRISONERS IN SECTOR-7 HAVE BEEN FREED FROM THEIR CELLS!" said the Sentinel, downloading information from the mainframe. "WE MUST NOT ALLOW MUTANTS TO ESCAPE BACK INTO HUMAN POPULATED AREAS! SEND ALL AVAILABLE UNITS TO INTERCEPT...!" "No...!" yelled Trask, being held back by his own robots... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SCENE-4<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< SECTOR-7 The students were slow to awaken, as their young impressionable minds began to recount events which lead them there. The oldest ones (Banshee, Cannonball, Gambit, and Northstar) helped the younger ones from their suspended cells. "Nightcrawler...! Multipleboy...!" called Banshee (seeing the two young boys for the first time since chaps-6 & 7), hugging the two long lost mutants. "Are you alright...?" "I...I think so..." said Robby (Multipleboy), still feeling woozy from the gasses which kept them physically frozen. "Where are we, daddy...?" asked Banshee's daughter Syran, accompanied by Rogue, Magma, and Premonition. "I'm not sure, darlin'...!" admitted Banshee, looking about the base. "Jean..., do you sense anything...?" Jean Grey (Premonition) closed her eyes and concentrated, probing the minds of anyone within reach of her mental telepathy... "The X-Men are here...!" she informed gleefully, her eyes lighting up with hope and recognition. "Where are they...?" asked Banshee. "One level up...! They're looking for us!" she said, enthusiastically. "Can you tell them where we are...?" asked Banshee, his question cut off with the arrival of a band of mutant hunting Sentinels. "We're not alone...!" warned Banshee, as the Sentinels made themselves known. "MUTANTS, YOU WILL CEASE ALL ACTIVITY OR YOU WILL BE TERMINATED!" they threatened. "If we're going to get out of here children..., we're going to have to fight our way out...!" informed the older X-Man, opening his mouth to scream as an ear piercing screech escaped his throat, --a sonic yell which hit the lead robot head on and caused its outer shell to crack as computer components fell from its head. Syran jumped in beside her father, opening her mouth as a long loud wail escaped her powerful vocal cords. The duel screams shattered the Sentinels circuitry, rendering them useless as they froze and fell over, hitting the ground hard like fallen lampposts. Banshee smiled down at his teenage daughter, having helped him topple their greatest threat. "Ya heard th' man, yall..., fight for it!" yelled Cannonball, shooting forth with the speed of a cannon as he bowled into the mutant hunters as if they were pins waiting to be toppled. Magma turned on her mutant power as living lava, and threw searing projectiles of molten earth at the Sentinels, burning holes straight through their metal bodies and melting key components. Meanwhile Spike and Gambit used their own formidable powers to fend off the hunters as well, helping lesser powered students escape. Back in the computer's mainframe, Trask was still be closely watched by one of the Sentinels, making sure the scientist made no further moves to try to reprogram their circuitry. Trask felt like a prisoner as the Sentinel's beady red eyes stayed focused on his person. Just outside the control room, Black Panther, Forge, and Bishop appeared. "This looks like where the circuit trail leads...!" said T'Challa, paying more attention to the ceiling grid than where he was headed. The Sentinel turned just as the intruders appeared. Its red glowing eyes shinned brightly as it prepared to attack. Trask saw the 3 unsuspecting mutants about to be fired upon, and ran to jump in front of them just as the Sentinel fired. The beams struck the scientist in the back, piercing his fragile body and fatally wounding him as he fell forward into Panther's arms. "DISASTER! DISASTER! A SENTINEL HAS CAUSED HARM TO A HUMAN! COMMENCE WITH AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN AND RECOMFIGURATION!" said the robot, going off line as its red glowing eyes darkened and faded to black. All over the military base the Sentinels started shutting down, falling to the ground with heavy thumps as their "brains" were shut off. In Sector-7, the students cheered as the Sentinels ceased functioning, joined by Beast, Cyclops, Karma and Spirit. Topside: Storm, Polaris, Colossus, and Thunderbird looked in shock as the Sentinels suddenly stopped fighting and fell over lifelessly. "What the hell happened...?" asked Bishop, standing over the motionless robot as Black Panther held Trask's dying body in his arms. "It compromised its programming by killing one of the humans it was designed to protect!" informed Forge. "We designed the mainframe with a failsafe in case any humans got killed in the crossfire! I suppose they never changed that part of the robots directives...!" "So it's over...?" asked Bishop. "Well..., the computer shut itself down to reconfigure its programming..., but while it's in its vulnerable state, I can use the decoder to erase its programming completely! Without me or Trask to program it, the government would eventually shelve it indefinitely!" "Then do it!" ordered Bishop, as Forge went to work attaching his devise. "I can't believe it's over that quickly..." said the teenager, looking towards Panther as he rolled Trask over onto his back and closed the dead man's eyes. "It's not over til I've find my son...!" said Panther, looking out of the broken control room window to see Professor Xavier lying lifelessly on an exam table. "Isn't that Xavier...?" asked the Avenger, causing Bishop and Forge to look down over the ledge. "Oh my god...!" said Forge, as he ran for the steps leading into the room while Black Panther and Bishop simply jumped down from the booth. "He's dead..." said Bishop, checking Xavier's pulse, an oil compound oozing from his open mouth and dripping anus. "What the hell did they do to him...??" asked Bishop, just as Beast and his team entered the room... News of Xavier's death spread quickly, causing many of the mutants to cry in sorrow at the death of their mentor, and his legacy. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SCENE-5<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< CANADA Along a long stretch of wilderness runs a lone highway Logan (aka: Wolverine) is strongly familiar with. He rides a supped up Harley Davison to a secret location, the memory of his former lover's voice burnt in his mind ever since receiving her frantic phone call (chap-15). Images of her in danger fill his head as he blow through check points and boarder lines, determined to make his rendezvous before its too late. In the distance he could see the small familiar cabin at the top of the ridge. He accelerated, pushing the bike beyond its limits as he leaped off the rolling cycle, somersaulted through the air, and crashed through the wooden door like a dive bomber. Rolling on the cabin floor, he quickly jumped to his feet, extending his metal claws with a [SHINK] sound as he readied himself for battle. <"Yuriko...!"> he yelled out, calling HER name. But the cabin was empty, save for the roaring fire and a steaming hot cup of coffee on the table. Wolverine sniffed the air, smelling familiar scents as he turned around and looked towards the door. "Logan, Logan, Logan..., stupid predictable Logan...!" said Sabretooth, walking through the entrance. "One call from HER, and you're still putty in her hands...!" "Where is she...?!" snarled Logan, his mouth twisted angrily. "You tell me, Logan..., can't you smell her scent all over me...?" asked Sabretooth with a wink. Indeed Wolverine could smell HER scent on him..., the scent of sex! With a might leap he jumped forward, tackling the taller mutant and sending them both out into the Canadian dirt before Sabretooth (using his muscled legs) tossed Wolverine up into the air about 25 feet. Sabretooth jumped to his feet as Wolverine twisted and turned his body in midair like a gymnast, then landed squarely on his feet, --his claws still extended for battle. "YAAAAAA...!!" yelled the human manimal as he began to charge. But suddenly out of nowhere came a small blur. Before Logan even knew what hit him, he found himself falling to the ground from a flying kick to the face. As he hit the ground on his stomach, he looked up to see a small midget cart-wheeling into a fighting stance a few yards away. "Puck...?!" called Wolverine, shaking his head as if seeing a mirage. "The one and only, bub!" said the short bald man, a half chewed cigar hanging out of his mouth. "What'r you doin here, shorty...?" asked Wolvie, getting to feet. "Same as the rest of us...!" said another familiar voice as Wolverine turned around just in time to see a large orange hairy Sasquatch leaping through the air. Before Wolvie could react, the Sasquatch landed directly in front of him, back slapping him across the field. Wolverine felt himself being catapulted into a tree as the wind was knocked from his lungs and he slowly fell to his knees. "Oh..., is THAT how we're gonna play it...?" asked Wolvie, spitting the taste of his own blood from his mouth. "You're ALL gonna jump me, eh...? Is the whole ALPHA FLIGHT team here...?" "I'm surprised you remember us, Logan...!" said voice from above. Wolverine looked up just in time to see Guardian flying overhead. He aimed his fist in Logan's direction, sending projectile beams in the X-Man's direction. Logan barely had time to cartwheel out of harms' way before regular vines grew up out of the ground, quickly wrapping around his arms and legs, securing him as strongly as steel cables. "Shaman...!" yelled Wolverine, recognizing the signature move as the medicine man levitated out of the sky to land softly on the ground a safe distance away. "Where IS she...??!" yelled Wolverine, pulling at the vines with all his might. The strain could be seen on Shaman's middle-aged Indian face as he felt connected to the earth and its natural elements. "Where's Yuriko...?!?!!" <"I am here, Logan-san...:> said a woman's voice from behind. Wolverine quickly turned his head as the quaint Chinese woman [draped in authentic Chinese garments and her hair swept up in a bun] walk up beside him. Wolverine looked her up and down, relying on his sensitive senses to confirm if she was real. <"I am real, Logan..., it is I, --Yuriko..."> she said, as if reading his very thoughts. <"What happened to you..."> asked Logan, <"...you sounded so frightened over the phone...!"> <"Did I..., my former love...?"> asked Yuriko, touching Logan's rugged face with her dainty hand. Logan's eyes fluttered to her touch as memories of his past and their love flooded his brain. But his reminisce was short lived as the woman called Yuriko grew long sharp fingernail claws, and sliced them across Wolverine's face, --drawing blood bone deep. "AARRHHHH...!!" yelled Wolverine as the nails sliced through his skin. He looked at the woman questionably as she turned his nails up to her face and licked his blood away. <"I'm not the same girl I used to be, Logan-san...!"> she confessed, backing away into the arms of Sabretooth. <"What did Striker do to you...?!"> asked Logan, as Sabretooth kissed her fully on the lips, slipping his tongue into her mouth before breaking apart to look him face to face. "Oh..., you'll find out soon enough, runt...!" smiled the larger man, just before punching Wolverine in the face and blacking him out cold. Continued...
