Jackson felt somewhat disappointed that his father was heading back to Muir but understood why. He began to focus on the holographic map of the city that Cable had set up and began to copy the information into his computer display. He wanted to know where every transport shuttle was.
“So how are we doing this? I really think I can fly these transports if need be!” Ravager spoke up as he reached out and widened the image of the closest transport.

“This is going to be a tricky one. These are Hounds and they will see us coming so we can not sneak up on them. We will have to go at them full on and they have mind powers mostly!” Domino spoke up as she pulled her guns out of the holsters one at a time to switch them over to a heavy stun setting. She then turned in the direction of Deadpool and Copycat.
“No killing you two! Put your guns on a heavy stun!” Domino said in her best motherly voice.

“When it begins EVA and I will keep the Pequod distracted!” Fantomex suddenly spoke again in a cold robotic like tone. He was still holding JJ's hand as he stood up and faced the direction of Cable and the others.
“The Pequod took us by surprise before but not again.” Even though his voice was a void of emotion he was excited to get his revenge on Ahab’s ship.

"Lu, be careful, and I'll do the same," JJ said to her sister as the group got ready to go back to Muir. "Jason, you might want to find one of those MacLeod sisters later to give the old ground there a whammy or two. Or a blessing. Whatever they do, it is Scotland, and that is their home turf."
JJ was not thrilled about this talk about the hounds, but she knew it had to be done and done right. This was all new territory for everyone, but the thought of taking them back to be held in stasis until they were deprogrammed scared her a lot. She just couldn't explain in words yet why she had her qualms about it all. JJ would have to trust Jean about this.
"Babe, whatever you need, I'm here," JJ said as she continued to hold Fantomex's hand. She looked at her gun and realized it was now so damned wrong for this job. "Guys, I need a gun that stuns. Mine could blow a hole in the roof, but that won't help with the hounds now that we have a plan to help them."

Bethany found herself swinging her mace with wild abandon as more hounds started to flood the battlefield. She looked at young Jean and Scott and prayed they would all live to see both sun and moon rise over this city once more. "The magic Stryfe is using is from Limbo. It has an aura all its own. But the fact he is wielding it worries me a lot."
As she tried to reach out to the magic swirling around them, Bethany felt the blood run from her nose once more. There was more to this than a simply bit of spellcraft, but she dared not interrupt Citian in this battle. She could give him help, though.
As she swung her mace again, Bethany connected with the ground and sent a surge of mystic power directly to Citian. It was sort of like powering up with a health pack in a video game. She just prayed her efforts would help Citian as he fought the clone of his own father.

“Thank you Jason.” Vanessa said to Hollywood as she took the gun and put it in a holster on her side. She then stood up and turned to Domino and thanked her before walking over to Deadpool and stood right in front of him.
“I am really sorry Wade.” Vanessa puts her hands on the sides of his arms and looks up at him. “I never met to hurt you like that. After Creed killed me and I was brought back by the program I kind of snapped and made sure everyone thought I was dead to keep myself safe. I also needed a break and tried to be normal. I missed you dearly and from time to time I kept an eye on you. I even was at your wedding and hoped you were happy. I wanted you to be happy and I am sorry it didn't work out. Selfishly though I always hoped that we would find our way back to one another. I made a big mistake and I hope you can forgive me?” So many emotions ran through him as he was very hurt by her and he also realized how much he hurt her.. He became obsessed with Siryn and he did not do a good job of hiding it from her and he was more to blame in the breakup the more he thought about it..
“I forgive you if you forgive me for the stupid ass I was to you.. I fucked up our relationship.. I can see that now.. I really.. really.. really.. really.. really.. really.. really.. Want a do over!” Deadpool spouted to Copycat.. Wade truly understood seeing her alive again that she was the great love of his life.. “I also forgive you and I am looking forward to the next chapter in our lives together.” Vanessa said as she pulled the part of Deadpool’s mask that covered his mouth up and kissed him. She felt so happy to be in his arms again. “We’re back baby!” Copycat said just before Domino told them about turning their guns to heavy stun. Vanessa pulled out her energy gun and turned it to heavy stun so she would not forget. She then motioned to Deadpool to do the same.
“You know that means no sword play!”

“I know this is going to make everything much harder and I thank you all for working with me on this. We need to do more and we need to save all our people and these hounds were brainwashed and made into weapons!” Jean glanced over at Logan as she spoke those words before turning to the rest of the team.
“Now we have a plan to work from.”

Post by Black Tom Cassidy on Mar 25, 2023 0:07:15 GMT
OC- Ghost both Duskk and I figured a way to bring in Black Tom into the story liked you hoped.. I did this post to set it up for you.. Saber Tom was just getting everything ready and to make a big meal for him and his daughter who was coming from the states to visit him.. It had been a long time since he had seen her and was so excited and then Cosmos connected to his mind. All this information entered his mind about the danger his daughter was in.. Everly told him that she was going to take him to his daughter so he could help her..
It felt scary at first.. A warm light surrounded him and then it felt like he was being thrown into space.. Next thing he knew he was standing on a street in New York with Iceman and Spider Man heading in his direction.. He was also surprised to see he was in his uniform and his best wooden club In his hand.. That is when he saw the hounds surrounding his daughter..
“Get the Hell away from my little princess!” His voice roared as he sent a blast of thermokentic energy through his club striking a hound that leaped into the air at his daughter.. "Daddy?..........." She said surprised as Black Tom came to the aide of his daughter. The reunion between father and daughter was not supposed to be like this but none the less she was happy to see him.
"Isn't it always the way that its always chaos that brings us back together. " She said smiling giving him a loving kiss on the cheek before focusing back on the hounds who were regrouping for another attack. She thrust her left hand out as the next hound that leapt at them suddenly fell to the ground screaming as painful sores appeared on his face as tears of blood started to streak down his eyes. “Good to see my little lass and who are these Gobshites that are trying to hurt you?!” Tom said as he stepped forward and swung his club knocking a hound back. Another hound tried to get into his mind telepathically but Black Tom responded by sending another thermokinetic blast through his club striking the hound.
“So Spider Man I am here to protect my daughter and I would like someone to explain what is going on here! All I know is a space or a cosmic looking girl showed up in my mind and showed me my daughter was in danger and that I needed to help and then I am here with all these Gobshites in spiked leather!” Black Tom continued as one of the hounds he blasted started to stand up and Tom then stomped on him hard.

“When I released the Phoenix Force that was a part of me into Jubilee and transformed her back from a vampire I thought that was it. I was so wrong as I know my powers have advanced and I have more control over it.” Quentin said as he then paused and listened to the conversation that Jean had started. Both Everly and Quentin walked over to join Jean, Cable and the others while sharing the bag of cheesy puffs between them.
“We can do it.” Quentin said as he joined the conversation. Everyone turned and looked over at him as he continued on. “Jean, Karenza, Cosmos and I are omega level mutants and we have magic. We can rescue the hounds and make them unconscious and keep them safe somewhere away from Krakoa until we can help them. If the Professor and Emma are keeping the world from not knowing about Krakoa we can fix these hounds like we are going to do for Rachel.” Everly felt the daughter of Black Tom in trouble on the streets surrounded by hounds. So she connected with Black Tom mentally and sent him a download of information and teleported him from Dublin to his daughter's side within minutes without anyone noticing but Quentin who was linked to her mind saw it all happen. He turned to her surprised.
(She was scared and wanted her father. So I brought them together so he could help her.) She said to her husband in their mental link. Quentin smiled and kissed her and then they both laughed because they both could taste the cheesy puffs on their lips. “Tasty!” Quentin responded after the kiss from his wife and licked the cheesy puffs from his lips and laughed. Quentin then pointed at Black Tom on the holographic screen that Cable created.
“Everly brought Black Tom here to help his daughter!” Quentin announced to everyone. He then looked over at the area.
“Why don’t we start there? We have a transport around the corner and Black Tom has already taken down some hounds!” Quentin shrugged his shoulders.

Post by Karenza the External on Mar 26, 2023 0:23:45 GMT
There was a lot going on with the situation that all of them were in.. A lot of stuff that Cable could not get into.. Nathan’s mind was connected to the time stream and could see many different outcomes.. His future self had created a pathway for him to navigate through that stream for a certain outcome that would be for the best scenario for all mutants.. Krakoa and Arakko were a part of that.. Some memories were blocked until certain triggers in the time stream reveal those memories and the path taken.. Cable found himself overwhelmed for a moment until Karenza took a hold of his hand and brought himself back to the present..
“I am surprised and not surprised by Stryfe taking up Madelyn’s craft.. Citian says he has this and I trust that for now.. When I first created X-Force it was to do what the X-Men could not do.. The X-Men was the way of hand and X-Force was the way of the fist.. In the age of Krakoa X-Force needs to be both the hand and the fist.. In the age of Krakoa we have a council and members that lead us.. I respect that and I will follow the leadership of the council members.. That is both Jean and Kari.. So if Jean says we need to rescue the hounds I will do everything I can to do that.. I also want to say for a reason I can not explain right now I am not the leader of this X-Force team.. Both Hank and Logan lead this X-Force team and I will do as our leaders have decided..” Cable said as he looked over at Beast and Wolverine.. "Once everything is in place, we can portal the hounds to Muir," Kari said quietly as she kept standing close to Nathan. "Once we take them out of the fight, we can induce a deep sleep until we get them into stasis. It won't be easy, but it can be done. Merlin has put battlefields to sleep in the past, so I'm sure he would be able to lend a hand so we can do this."
Kari looked over at Moira and shook her head as she then glanced at the monitors. "And we need to find Cailleach. She might have been helping us before, but I'm not making bets she will now that Stryfe is here. And she's doing a very good job of avoiding any mystic sweeps."
As she tried to figure out how they were going to make this plan with the hounds work, Kari looked at Nathan, blinking her eyes a bit to hold the tears back. {{Oh, how I wish my precognition were a bit more helpful right now, but we both know that could lead to all sorts of issues, especially with what we know is to come. I will do what I can to help with the hounds. I just wish Rachel were here among them}}

Cable connected to Karenza on a psychic level.. Nathan took Kari into the astral plane outside of time and space.. Both of them were holding each other's hand as it appeared they were floating in space with thousands of mirrors floating around them.. Each mirror a memory of his life.. Once Kari noticed the mirrors were Cable’s memories more mirrors appeared but they were Karenza’s memories.. Off in the distance some of the mirrors were covered in a black tarps..
“Those memories I had covered until the right time for them to be revealed.. My higher self has created a devine timer for the tarps to disappear and reveal the next steps of the future.. I have something I want to show you in the near future..” Cable said as they floated together to the area where the mirrors are covered.. One of the mirrors looked like the tarp had come off recently.. Karenza looked into the mirror and could feel that it was a memory of the near future..
In the memory Karenza was standing with the whole Summers family and other X-Men including her family.. Cyclops.. Jean.. Logan and a few others were wearing robes around their bodies and wiping some sort of gooey substance from their body.. Kari saw a younger Cable about fifteen years old with Scott and Jean all looking over at a huge gold egg.. Karenza recognized the egg as one of Goldball’s golden spheres but much bigger in size.. Kari also noticed on her left arm from the elbow down she was wearing a Witchblade like the one that Clair wore but it was different.. The Witchblade she wore was made from Cable’s techno- organic arm and it had the ancient Celtic symbol in the style of the Askani of the Morrigan.. Karenza returned her gaze to the egg to see Nathan’s techno organic arm busted out of the egg and then the rest of older Cable coming out completely naked and reborn.. The techno organic that had infected his body as a young child was no longer a virus but a part of his genetic code..

(Sage reporting! I just came through the gate and I am on Muir now! I can smell the smoke in the air from the last battle! Some of the transports are still burning and heading for the research facility now!) Sage communicated over her comm to the rest of X-Force. “We are receiving your message and the rest of your team is incoming!” Hollywood said as Lu said goodbye to her sister before walking over to him and Forge.
“Bodyslide by three!” Hollywood said as the three of them teleported away.

“I forgive you if you forgive me for the stupid ass I was to you.. I fucked up our relationship.. I can see that now.. I really.. really.. really.. really.. really.. really.. really..

For Wade everything had stopped when Vanessa flipped up the mask over his mouth and kissed him. Instantly he saw himself riding a unicorn with Vanessa in his arms. They were riding a unicorn in a forest with rainbows everywhere around them. Celine Dion was an angel flying above them singing, My heart will go on.. Then he heard Domino and he snapped out of his delusion. When he came out he heard the real world conversation around him..
“Wait a minute, no sword or shooting people in the face? That makes things less fun but a challenge and I love a challenge!” Deadpool responded..

Okay X-Force we need to put all of this in motion!. Cosmos prepare to open a portal where Black Tom is located. Moira and I will secure the transport that is sitting on this black while everyone is securing the block and all the Hounds in this area.. Any questions if you are not then we prepare to move!” Beast said as he looked over the holomap of Tom attacking the hounds.. He then looked over at the transport and saw two real big hounds standing guard.. Cable’s scan had revealed at least four more inside the transport..
