“I never thought I would ever say this but I agree with Mystique!” Banshee said as he landed beside Cyclops with back to Vulcan.. It was still hard for Sean to look at the man who murdered him.. It was better for him to just ignore the crazy Summers brother as best as he could..
“We have a short window before anyone arrives to investigate..”

Post by (The White Queen) Emma Frost on Aug 27, 2023 13:56:51 GMT
A psychic astral projection of Emma Frost appeared in front of Cyclops that everyone could see..
{Hello Scott.. The Professor wanted to be here but he is dealing with the chaos in Krakoa.. About fifty percent of the mutants in Krakoa and around the world have vanished.. We know what had happened with Nate.. I will be your telepathic command hub going forward.. When everyone else arrives I will give you a quick update.. And then we can figure out the next movement!}

Sammy quickly made his way to where Cyclops was. He saw that his grandparents Rogue and Gambit were still there but she couldn't feel the connection with his mother anymore. He tried to keep himself under composure but with his father gone and now losing his mother as well he had some pent up emotion. There was a nearby large rock which he went over and with all his force smashed it into dust. He then went back over to where Cyclops and the rest were starting to mobilize a few looked over with concerned looks but he simply nodded to them.
"I'm ok...."

Both Mystique and Axl came out of the brush and stood before Cyclops..
“Axl and I did a sweep of the area and there is no one in the area that poses a threat to us!” Mystique reported as she walked over to the closest tree to get out of the rain..
“We will have to move sooner than later.. Orchis would be looking for us and with all this strange activity on this island is going to be an investigation point for Orchis and for the local military!” "The presence may be larger than indicated. " A voice said as Magnetrix dropped from the sky still covered in green flame. Mystique looked like she had a million questions for Hanna based on her costume and other aspects.
"After X-Man did what he did I felt the large metallic energy signature heading this way. They were using masking abilities but after our initial contact with Orchis I know what to watch for." Magnetrix kept a focused face but she was still worried for her mother who was nowhere to be found."
"If we don't move soon we may not have the option to regroup."

"Hope!" Kari shouted as she held here daughter tightly. "Thank you. From me and your Dad," she said as she placed Hope's hand on the Witchblade. "Nate is so broken, and this just made it worse," were the only words Kari got out before she realized what Hope had said about Citian. "Citian and Bethany...and Thom...missing" Kari looked around and saw her sister Roz being helped to her feet by Kendra, and other team members were searching for the injured around them. Then she heard Logan calling for Cair. "Oh no. No. No one is going through this again. Hope, do you see Seth? Gabby? Jason?" "Mom! Hope!" Scarlett shouted as she ran over. "Oh God. I thought I lost you, too. Niamh and Jay vanished! And I don't see Auntie Ryn or Auntie Hayley."
"What happened to Magneto and the other Horsemen who weren't freed?" Kari asked as she lifted into the air to get a better view. "Ororo? Warren?" Kari looked down toward Saber and knew a lot of unanswered things needed to be addressed, but right now was not the time to start that. She flew down next to him and took a deep breath. "How hard did that hit you? Are you OK?"
“Mom!” Saber said as he just fell into Karenza’s arms.. Kari could feel and hear how defeated Saber was.. “I tried to stop it but I was too late!. Betsy is gone.. I was too late!” He repeated.. I need to fix this somehow!. I felt him construct a world with his mind.. He created a pocket dimension.. I need to get them back!” Saber said as he tried to pull himself together..Mom.
In this whole rotten scenario, hearing that word from Saber meant the world to Kari.
She wrapped her arms more tightly around her son as she tried to process everything everyone was feeling and saying at the moment. She wanted to alternately give Nate Grey a piece of her mind and to help him fight his demons. Getting everyone back should have been the first order of business, but Major X's update on the Orchis troops scotched that plan. Then Emma's telepathic arrival made the whole scope of the situation come into focus.
"We will get them all back, Saber. You single-handedly saved everyone still standing here. Never doubt your power. Ever," Kari said as she released her hug and helped Saber get centered. "And praise the Lord and Lady we have someone here who knows a bit about pocket dimensions," she added as she looked at Dante and Sydney. "First we need to get out of here, then we will figure out where Nate went and get everyone back."
As Kari looked at those still there, she mulled over what Dante asked Sydney, and perhaps it was time to call on the old terms once more. "Tha sinn Witchbreed. Is Witchbreed muid."
"Oh no!" Sydney shouted. "You keep that whaoo Witchbreed nonsense to yourself! And I don't care if you say it in Scottish Gaelic or Irish or pig Latin."
"We are not like Stephen Strange and you know it. We are as mutant as anyone here, Sydney. It's time to embrace it," Kari added as she glanced toward Emma's projection.
"Wait. Emma, are my kids OK? Is Rose there?" Piper said as she ran up to the hovering image of Emma.
"Piper, Emma wasn't where the children were," Kari said quietly as she reached down her telepathic link to find her non-mutant friend Carrie Carlyle had become the most unlikely of babysitters. "Piper, your kids are fine," Kari said as she showed Piper what she had seen. "We will get everyone back. But first we need to get to safety. And I am not thrilled with the idea of leading those bastards straight back home. It may be time to start using multiple gateways. Think like hackers to avoid detection."

A voice said as Sharia came out of the vines..She looked confused but seeing him breaking down she ran to him and comforted him along with her grandmother Kari. "Dad we will get mom back....We will get all of them back......You....You saved me......" She said embracing him in a hug trying to keep herself together for her father but a tear still found itself streaking down her cheek. "I love you dad....Never doubt how strong you are.....We will get through this together."

“I am right here Surgah!” Rogue called out in response as she stood up from the ground and brushed off some of the leaves from her hair.
“What happened, Remy?” Rogue asked Gambit as he ran to her moving through the vines as if it was a maze. The last thing Rogue remembered was fighting a bear like Hound and then a bright flash of light. “X-Man did something and a lot of us went missing.. I was afraid that he had snatched you too.” Gambit said as he grabbed a hold of Rogue’s arm and pulled her up into his arms.. “I feel so blessed that you are still here.. Chere!” He said as Rogue smiled.. “We should get to Cyclops and regroup before something else goes wrong..”
Rogue moved to the side and put her arm around Gambit and took to the air and flew in the direction of Cyclops.. “That is a lot to take in!” Rogue responded to Gambit as she put her arm around his waist and took to the air. Once she was up above the field she saw everyone heading for where Cyclops was. In no time they reached where Cyclops was and she landed close to where Emma’s astral ghost was. Rogue and Gambit both heard Emma’s message. Rogue then walked over and put her hand on Armure’s shoulder.
“Yana and Duskk will bring your dad home Sammy! I have no doubt about that and Nate is not going to hurt your mother. She is existing in whatever world Nate has cooped up in his mind. We will figure a way to her and our people home I promise!” Rogue said as she gave her huge grandson a hug. This was important to Rogue because Gambit and her came to a conclusion about their lives that they were not going to have any children. So Sammy and his mother were the only family that they would have in this world. It was a gift from the universe in the way. She then turned to Mystique and gave her a loving smile. Despite the ups and downs both Mystique and Destiny were her parents and she loved them both.

Post by SAGE (tessa) on Aug 29, 2023 13:53:07 GMT
Sage sat up from the ground and took a moment to process her last memories of what had happened with her computer like rain. She figured out what had happened from all the data her mind collected. Nate Grey did not change this reality like he had threatened. He created a pocket dimension and tried to take them but something stopped the whole process. Karenza, Saber or another magic user could have done it. She then picked herself up and could see Cyclops and Kid Cable in the distance and started to move through the brush to get to them. Dragonfly came out of the brush finding Sage as she was making her way through the vines.
“Good to see you Sage I was not sure if you were ported away like the others.. Angelica was taken and I am sure Beast went too.. Once we regroup with Cyclops we can figure out what our next move should be..” Conor conveyed to Sage as they both continued their way through the brush to get to Cyclops.. “Yes Conor, time is not on our side. We need to find a new base of operation that is not on Krakoa or Muir island. I am sure you have some ideas for where we can go for a temporary base during this crisis.” Sage said as she saw a smile on Dragonfly’s face. Tessa knew like Cable that Conor has top of the line safe houses all over the planet. He also had the same tech that was passed down to him from Cable.

Post by SUPREMA (Diana Wagner) on Aug 29, 2023 13:56:00 GMT
Diana woke up covered in vines. She was not as confused as the others as she felt her mother Jean and X-Man pull into a pocket dimension. She felt his power of creating a world from his mind. It was frightening and magnificent at the same time. She was trying not to freak out as she also felt Kurt pulled into the other world. She stood up and her psychic connection to her brother Jason and started to move through the vines and look for him. Tracking him down telepathically. It took her a while but she found him unconscious.
(Jason wake up!) Suprema called out to him telepathically as she rushed over to him. “Diana?” Jason said as he opened his eyes and saw his sister standing over him. She reached out her hand and helped him up to his feet. He noticed that his sword The White Wolf was missing. DireWolf held out his right hand and thought about his sword. The sword flew out of the brush and back to his hand.
“I think Gabby and Seth went into the light!” Jason said as he looked around and tried to catch their scent. “I felt them go as did Rose, Rachel and Jean.” Diana answered her brother as they both were kind of shaken by what had happened. “We need to find Logan and make our way to Cyclops and regroup. So creating some dire wolves to ride through this mess would be nice.” Suprema said to Jason as she was trying to deal with her anxiety of the situation.

“Wade, can you hear me? Are you awake?” Vanessa crouched down to the ground where she found Deadpool. She reached over and pulled his mask off. When she did he snapped awake and sat up.
“Babe, this day is getting stranger by the minute!” “Well this is quite the development!” Deadpool responded to Copycat.. Domino and Shogun as he surveyed the area around him. Seeing that everyone was making their way to where Cyclops was positioned. It was at that moment Wade saw Kid Cable for the first time.
“Holy crap on a stick!. That is what Cable looked like as a teen? Part of me wants to smack him around for killing the old man.. But he is the old man.. Or he will be the old man.. All of this makes my head hurt. Or should I smack him around and then after introducing myself as his best friend possibly maybe? This is a very strange day and I just want it to stop!” “I feel yah on this! This is a lot!” Vanessa responded to Deadpool.
“I would keep it chill on the teen Cable thing. Although it is creepy as hell to see the old man as a teenager. He almost looks the same except for the hippie beads. It must connect to that future religion spiritual stuff he is a part of. All of this is just wild!”

Post by STRONG GUY (Guido) on Aug 29, 2023 14:01:50 GMT
Guido saw Monet vanish in the light and Jamie Madrox drop to the ground before the light tried to get him. When he woke up he rushed over and scooped Jamie up in his arms. “Oh Jamie, I hope you are okay my friend!” Guido said as Jamie looked pale but he was breathing and had a strong pulse. Strong Guy moved through the vines towards Cyclops' position. “Guido!” Havok called out as he saw Strong Guy move past him as he got up from the ground. Guido stopped and turned in his direction and was happy to see him. “Looks like X-Man took Monet and maybe Siryn! At least I saw Theresa heading our way when X-Man did his thing! How's Jamie doing?” Alex said as he walked over and checked Madrox out. “He does not look too good!” “He is breathing and he has a strong pulse. He still needs a healer or a doctor after what he has gone through, Alex!” Guido responded as they started to head in the direction of where they could see Cyclops and the others were regrouping at.
“I saw Monet disappear and grab Jamie as he was falling but I have no idea what had happened to Theresa as she was flying in our direction. So we should keep an eye out just in case she is in one of these piles of vines!”

Jeanne-Marie opened her eyes and saw and felt Daken carrying her in his arms in the rain. “I love being in your arms Akihiro!” She said to him and formed a smile when he looked down at her. “You are one handsome man!” She said as he put her back on her feet. She could not help herself but give him a kiss. Daken kissed her right back before they both looked down and saw Logan. It was at that very second it became apparent something was different.
“I can not feel Jean-Paul!” She said in a panic with the loss of her psychic connection to her twin brother Northstar. “X-Man took him and a lot of us in some sort of flash of light! I almost went too but something Saber did stop me from crossing.. I felt or saw something like a world like this for a moment.. Your brother is trapped in that world as well as Gabby.. Seth and Laura!” Daken explained as best as he could.. Aurora melted back into his arms and he held her tightly.. I know he would not harm any of them!” He reassured her as best as he could. “It is always a shock when my brother and I are separated like this. This has happened many times during our many years in Alpha Flight. It used to trigger me in a bad way with my past mental issues. I have been in a more stable mental place since those days. It just surprised me a bit, Aki.” Aurora put her arm around his waist and flew them both to where Cyclops and the others were meeting up.

So we should keep an eye out just in case she is in one of these piles of vines!” “Okay let’s get moving!” Havok responded to Strong Guy as he took the lead through the maze of vines. As they traveled through, Alex kept an eye out for Siryn but did not see her anywhere. It took some time but they made it to Cyclops and the others. “Do we have any healers?! Jamie needs medical assistance!” Havok called out.

Genn was glad to see that the others were beginning to show up. He was concerned when he was hearing they would have to move on soon. It made since this area was a hot spot of strange activity and would draw attention from the Canadian government and Orchis.
Ghost was also trying to deal with his feelings with Storm and his Marauder team gone. For the moment he was going to wait and see what the next move was going to be.

“Well this is shaping out to be a good counter team against Orchis. I do not know how we can get our missing people back but we can gather information and counter attack Ahab’s fraction of Orchis! We need some old fashioned pay back!” Old Man Logan spoke up from the tree he was sitting under to keep out of the rain.
