---

Bastion has posed:
The mission, when originally scheduled, was relatively straight-forward. Friends of Humanity have holed themselves up in an out of the way facility: an abandoned recycling plant in New Jersey. Sentinels have been traced to being sourced from there. If the mold is there, it needs to be destroyed. Period.

The site is a good one for those occupying the place. It is located next to several other industrial facilities, such as a big power plant, there isn't much out in the area to watch over the zone. That does also mean that the planes the X-Men may want to use have reasonable cover as well, since it isn't the heart of a city. There's a lot of warehouses out there.

The mission was GOING to be at a certain time. Cyclops had gone ahead on a scouting look to determine where the rest would be landing, and hasn't radioed back in. There's silence from him.

Now, the team is arriving, unfortunately more blind than they may have liked to be, and down a leader.

Nightcrawler has posed:
    No Scott, no recon, no organization. But no Scott, and slim always checks in. "Anna bring us in as close as possible, if Scott is compromised then they'll be expecting us to be coming. If we can go in quietly, then Kitty, Betsy and I will take point. Anna, Jubilation, Piotr... if things go messy you will need to spearhead..." Kurt pauses and shifts where he sits, brow knitting as he looks finally to White Queen,
    "Emma... I know it's old hat to have you organize and keep us linked... but if you can do anything to sideswipe anything that comes at us and give us a counter-surprise to what they throw at us..." The Fuzzy Blue elf take a breath, "We'll need to hit hard and give no chance to recover, ja? We put them on the back foot, we keep them there. But please seek if you can find Scott's mind if you can." another long breath, "Questions, opinions?"

Rogue has posed:
Rogue is piloting the jet, she's got her bomber jacket on, a pair of aviator sunglasses and her green and gold suit beneath it. She's even chewing on some bubblegum to help keep her nerves calm while flying this powerful piece of human and alien hardware.

"Aye aye." She says softly then to Kurt's words, her covered eyes dart over the jet's system readouts, her hands reach out to adjust a setting here and there. "We're comin' in, everyone!"

Its only a matter moments before that big SR-77 beautiful bird is set down after hovering for a moment or two, a shudder running through its bulkheads after it touches down.

Colossus has posed:
Colossus has prepared himself in his armored form and costume, using the special extra large seat on the jet to keep himself properly strapped in. He braces himself, as usual for the rigors of battle. However invulnerable his body may be, his heart does not go well with combat. He can comfort himself, at least, in that their foes this time are not living things, but machines, machines programmed to do hateful work.

"Be careful, my friends" he says aloud.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde is sitting over at the communications panel of the plane on the way in. She's monitoring a few things, while Lockheed is sitting on the console beside her. After a moment Kitty frowns and types something into the console. Then a bit more.

"Someone contacting us. I'd say... general contact. Expecting someone to show up that was listening. Said if I'm here about a missing friend we should talk. Says those inside nullified him and took him inside an hour ago," Kitty says to the group. "I don't know that it's Sebastion, but, that would be my guess," she says. She sends of a copy of the contact to Tony, seeing if he can find anything in the transmission to confirm her hunch. "I asked what intentions he has towards those inside... waiting on a reply still," she says.

Kitty nods to Kurt, indicating she heard the instructions.

Jubilee has posed:
Wearing all black, Jubilee is looking quite tactical with her gameface on. She even brought the black shades, instead of the pink shades. She has a concerned look on her face as she bounces a bit on her boot heels. "I'm good, Kurt. Just let me know when and where you want the explosions to happen."

Stepping up next to Piotr, she bumps her shoulder against his gently, giving him a firm nod of the chin. "I think I'm finally ready for a fastball special. Right down the middle. Ka-boom."

Psylocke has posed:
Psylocke has utilized the necessary tech to help protect them from the mutant hunting robots they will likely be facing on this mission. Yet, she has retained her usual costume in the form of the one piece bodysuit with boots and gloves, strips of material wrapped at thigh and upper arm.

She removes her safety harness then rises to her feet. Moving toward the exit ramp in silence, she reaches up a hand to check her katana is across her back. She only brought one since she intends to use her psionic blade for the other.

Her Crimson Dawn tattoo is visible as she isn't wasting psionic energy trying to hide it. "If you want, I can teleport in first and give everyone a visual of what we are getting into?" She hopes. If she doesn't get nullified.

Bastion has posed:
The facility's large east side is cloest to where the group has assembled and landed. There's the power plant's parking structure in the way of sightline to the recycling plant, giving them a decent place to assemble and look at the buildings. Cyclops' recon was from warehouses on the other end of the power plant area, so the team is not immediately where they know Cyclops last was.

Kitty's messages and checks get a bunch of information: Stark is right on top of things, except that he's also busy elsewhere trying to help Metropolis from imploding. The loss of Superman has hit the city very hard. Avengers, though, have a tracker on Sebastion, and there's immediate confirmation: the coordinates that Tony has match their new location. That fits: Sebastion is there. Tony also immediately wants to know what's going on, in more detail.

<< I'm here for the sentinels, but the people will resist that. Supply where you are, we will speak. >> Suggests the contact to Kitty.

Nightcrawler has posed:
    "It's a good idea, Betsy. If you think you can get a good spot to scout from... If it looks like we could move en masses, Kitty can help me get the rest where you think we could teleport in." Kurt nods, lips drawn into a line, looking to the others to see if anyone disagrees with this.
    He stands once his crash webbing is retracted, and adjusts how his swords rest on his body, one for each hand and his tail... He frowns deeper - considering bringing the BAMFS in on this.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty checks the communications again and then says, "Alright, I'd say this is most certainly Sebastion talking to us. He says he's here for the Sentinels. He's been destroying them if you are up on the intel. He wants me to supply with where we are and says we will speak."

Kitty hesitates for a moment. "I think we should take him up on it. I know what he is. I don't think he's got anything close to our best interest in mind in the long run. But I think he'll cooperate with us on this. It's in his interest too. And frankly, we can use the aid."

She looks about to see what the others think.

Rogue has posed:
Speaking of BAMFs...

Rogue BAMFs out of her pilot's chair and to the back of the jet. Yeah, its been six days and she still has that power from Kurt's expedition into his alternate dimension where she did battle with others who had that same power as Kurt. She'd held onto that person who'd touched her for a good minute or so and the power was yet remaining, though will likely be gone in a few days time based on her averages of touching people.

She takes her sunglasses off and sets them into a compartment inside the jet, then moves to disembark. "Sounds like ya'll got it figured out. Hopefully..."

Colossus has posed:
Colossus shakes his head at Jubilee, "You are far too fragile to be throwing around, little one. Perhaps just perch on me and shoot like turret, da?" he says.

As the others assemble, he listens, nodding, "I do not know this person, but you are good judge of character, Katya. If you think we should take a chance on them, then we will do so. Anyone who wishes to betray us shall pay in steel," he says, clanking a fist into his metal palm.

Jubilee has posed:
"You and I are gonna have a talk later about that." Jubilee says to Piotr with a frown on her face. In regards to Sebastion? "He's not a good dude though. It sucks it feels like he has us by the balls in regards to this." She looks back up to Peter at his last statement, then lets out a rather amused laugh as her eyes roll upwards. "Holy cow that was so cheesy."

Psylocke has posed:
"I agree that we should use his help but be wary. He certainly is doing this for his own reasons but our goals coincide. For the moment." Psylocke gives a brief nod to the others then steps over toward a dark corner of the plane instead of going outside.

A moment later, she's gone.

Inside the plant, in an area without a nullification zone, she reappears in a storage room. From there, she reaches out with her telepathy and immediately regrets it though she reports her findings softly over the radio. *Lots of people here. Humans it seems. At least 90 or so I'm picking up. Hard to tell. One minute they are there, the next they aren't. I'm guessing there are multiple nullification zones and they are walking through them so no way to tell how many there are in truth.* She does try to pick up what she can of the layout and shares it with her team telepathically. There are /lots/ of holes in that layout thanks to the null zones.

Bastion has posed:
<< My targets are Sentinels. I would prefer to strategize, as a combined effort, >> comes another message from, presumably, Sebastion, to Kitty's contact, as she had failed to reply to his last message. << But I can withdraw. >>

Watching from where they are, there's movement in the recycling center: none of it is urgent. There's a patrol headed through the east area: it consists of two massive sentinels, and a ground group of maybe six, including a dog. It barks, and there's a pause while the men discuss the dog. The Sentinels ignore the pause, and move on slowly. In theory, there could be a leap onto the men, but those Sentinels may or may not notice. The X-Men do have gear that makes them difficult for the Sentinels to spot, after all: but is that the best place to start? There are other buildings, areas with cover, in plenty.

The plant area Betsy arrives in is not entirely empty: there were two women inside it, laughing and chatting about sports, smoking by a window. They were armed, but not in a way that expects attack: their guns were on the table near them. They didn't notice Betsy at all.

Nightcrawler has posed:
    Looking now at this new potential addition to the assault, Kurt's tail begins to lash back and forth. Eyes on Anna with a bit of a grin as she ports around - now leaving clouds of brimstone in her wake... since she's back on Earth. Looking down at the ground, tapping his foot and shaking his head in thought.
    "It's your call Kitty. If you say we can trust, we can trust ja?" Famous last words...

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde communicates with Sebastion a bit. "He wants to come here, but I'm giving him enough description he can avoid targeting us instead, and asking what strategy he wants to use," Kitty says. "I'm afraid we're going to have to fight him down the road and don't want to let him get too much intel on us, any more than needed."

After a bit more, "I asked if he can take control of many of the Sentinels and get them away from the Mold," Kitty says. "Also, seeing if he can neutralize their nullifiers even if he cannot take control of them fully."

More typing and then Kitty says over comms, "Betsy, can you handle getting the humans out of there, or are there too many for you, if he gets the nullifiers off?"

Rogue has posed:
Rogue stands behind Kitty's left shoulder then and she listens closely to the conversation. She tries to imagine where Psylocke is, part of her wishes she was in there with her. Her green eyed gaze goes to Kurt and she grins him lightly before she looks back to Kitty.

With a quiet and hushed voice, not really wanting to disturb Kitty, she has to ask--be it for humor or otherwise. "We're neutralizin' their nullifiers? What if they nullify our neutralization of their nullifcators? We'll be up shit creek without a paddle then'n there..."

She goes silent then, still not quite sure what she should do yet since the smashing has started.

Bastion has posed:
<< I will lock every Sentinel in place for now. I will not touch the humans. The mold will react in an unknown way. >> That's Sebastion's reply.

A bit later: << Done. >>

The compound gets noisy, but not in alarm. Just a mix of confusion. Because the Sentinels, at least the ones the X-Men team can see, just stopped walking around. That's not normal.

Human minds blaze into existance all over the compound, to the psychic's eye. Many of them are trained military. Friends of Humanity terrorists. Very armed, many of them with superior tech. The team has seen FoH with cyborg parts before. But the factory is confused, and the nullifiers are off.

For now. For how long?

Jubilee has posed:
"I can probably create enough razzle dazzle to blind the humans in quick bursts and confuse them while you guys look to take out the Sentinels. I don't know how effective it will be, but I got enough frustration to burn through that I can kick it up a few notches." Jubilee says as she looks to her teammates. "That's a lot of people though and a lot of guns. Someone is gonna get hurt."

Nightcrawler has posed:
    "Psylocke" using code names over comms, "Give Anna and I a good visual. Kitty we're going be huddling around you to phase for transport. Anna and I could share the load. This is it." he looks up. "Thank you Sebastian." brow crooked up. "Colossus. You see a sentinel and it's not moving... Knock it down like Stalin on Berlin, ja?"

    Yes. Kurt made that reference. No communism reference though! Secret ending!

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde finishes communicating with Sebastion, passing on to everyone what the cyborg has done as far as shutting down the Sentinels. "Ok, this is our chance, just have the humans to deal with. Remember, the Mold is the objective. Kill it and they can't make more. And rescue Scott."

She hops up, wearing her X-man uniform, though she's added a few extra pouches, and has both of her swords strapped on, as well as a bow and a quiver of arrows. Maybe the trip to the Savage Lands has her inner ninja coming out. Maybe she's just making sure.

Kitty nods to Kurt. "Ready," she says, and will phase as instructed.

Psylocke has posed:
"Give me a moment," Psylocke says into the comms. She would port into the room by the smoker's window. She quickly looks in the minds of the two women for anything that might be useful. Radio codes, frequencies, security details that might be roaming about and their patterns. Only once she is certain she has everything she need does she move.

It's a quick flow of motion, silent as she closes the distance to the two women. One moment, they are starting to turn and then next they are both no the floor. One took a psiblade to the head then the other she kicked in the head forcing them to slam into the wall and down they went. She relayed all the information she could to the team, including sending those visuals of her location. "I will try to send a suggestion to the humans to head away from this place but they are all FoH I think. It won't be very strong because there are so many scattered all over." And with that, she does try to send that message out to people, a urgent feeling of needing to leave the grounds.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue glances over to Jubilee and nods softly to her. "Blind as many of'em as you can, go crazy. Make'em act like the guys back home in Mississippi who set off that fireworks show in Meridian and they accidentally lit it all at the same time." She grins. "My god, they ran faster than Speedy Gonzalez..." That cartoon character is definitely not allowed to exist anymore.

"Smash the mould." Rogue says with a nod then before she reaches a gloved hand out and over and slaps it against Kurt's shoulder. "Lets do this." She then closes her eyes and BAMFs!

Rogue is on her way to where these Sentinels are being kept, apparently having gotten to antsy to stand still anymore.

Bastion has posed:
The group work their way through the compound. Colossus has an excellent close encounter with two Sentinels, while all of the men around them open fire on him. It makes taking them out, for the rest of the team that teleports in, easy enough. The base is baffled by the Sentinels being offline, and most of them are unsure about fighting. Psylocke's messages sent out to be 'elsewhere' are working. When their big weapons just stood around, the group lost a lot of the will to fight.

Still, many of them do: they defend the large plant, starting to create a defensive line as the X-Men appear out from one of the buildings. They might have missed the memo about teleportation.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde sees the defenders forming up. She draws her swords and says to Kurt, "Nightcrawler? Teleport me outside of where Cyclops is. I'll go in and free him while you come back and kick some butt. We need to get into the Mold and kill it," she says.

Lockheed moves over to land on Kitty's shoulder. She won't be going in alone.

Jubilee has posed:
Once they are inside, Jubilee takes to task as she charges up her hands, then unleashes a stream of blindingly bright and hypnotic lights at the guards that they encounter, looking to knock them out of their senses and scorch their racist retinas a bit. If some of them need glasses the rest of their lives, she won't be too upset by it. As she works, she follows the lead of the team, staying focused and leaving the jokes in her pocket for the moment.

Rogue has posed:
As Kurt had explained to Rogue, she was able to use her enhanced stamina to really put the teleportation power to use, so she's aiming to really do that in combination with her strength.

As she BAMFs across the property through through the barriers of the building, into its interior she finds it completely empty save for the massive offline robotiks...

With a grin, Rogue starts to do her thing. She leaps into the air, flies about five feet and grabs hold of a massive metal structure of scaffolding that he launches into the air toward a row of Sentinels! She then BAMFs again and appears across the room where she's up in the air above them and ripping the ceiling of the building down on top of another row, tearing down light fixtures and heavy iron support beams that just crash down onto the heads and shoulders of the Sentinels, smashing into and through them.

The Southern Belle once more teleports away from this ensuing chaos and just starts doing more similarly destructive things!

Nightcrawler has posed:
    "No problem, Shadowcat!" Using information relayed, and observed, his tail touches Kat and BAMF! Getting Kitty near even as he continues to move, disappearing and re-appearing in clouds of smoke and reappearing from others. Striking at FoH members who refuse to flee, using feet or sword pommel for humans... but Sentinels get the blades.
    BAMF! a run by strike aimed at the back of a man with an SMG's head.
    BAMF! a leap atop the head of a robot with intention to drive blades into eyes.
    Nothing is drawn out, a single strike or attempt for such before he is gone again, avoiding risk of getting dragged into something extensive, especially if he gets called on for help.

Bastion has posed:
Overhead, above the mixed chaos, floats a glowing pale reddish dot. To those with enhanced senses, Sebastion. Others? Something to ignore or overlook in all of the sudden eruption that has occurred.

That one of the buildings seems to have been attacked by... the building? No, a wild Rogue, has gotten a lot of attention below. The guards that were in the building Rogue decided to turn into rubble scatter. "What the *@(+ is wrong with the Sentinels?" demands Lucas, to Harry. They both duck against a wall. "Mutants. It's all mutants," hisses Harry in answer. "My comms aren't working either. Everything's gone to total shit!!"

Until Rogue happens upon the main building. There's something horrifying in there. And it still has nullifiers. With a flare, the nullification zone churns into existance, as the mold inside had been waiting, nice and quietly, for a visitor.

"YOU WILL BE DESTROYED," the mold booms. It echoes out of the building, rattles the whole of the recyling center.

Psylocke has posed:
Psylocke is heading for the main building herself now. If she encounters anyone, she takes them down as swiftly and silently as possible. Not that it matters. With the main assault started, surely there are alarms being triggered. She continues to send out that wave of 'Get Out' as she works her way through the building she's in.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde and Lockheed are teleported into the area that Cyclops was sensed. Assuming they are normal-sized rooms, Shadowcat phases herself and her faithful dragon, air-walking up to the ceiling and then moving above the room. She looks down from above, moving so as little of her face clears the ceiling as possible so she can peek in and figure out where Cyclops is being held.

The plan? Once she locates him, just drop through the ceiling, letting gravity do it's thing on her fully phased body. Grab Scott on the way through and exit through the floor. Either into a room below, or then pull him along with her back to the other side of a wall before popping back up.

Bastion has posed:
Scott is laying on the floor in the office building, unconscious. He must have had guards, but they have left. His glasses are nearby, not on his face. A sentinel is standing outside, but it isn't in the mood to care about what Shadowcat is doing.

Rogue has posed:
Once Rogue got a taste of those beams that they used to build this factory with, she knew she had all the stuff she needed to really effectively tear those Sentinel bastards apart. She found one particularly long and lovely iron beam and hooked her arms right through the holes in its middle, then started to use it to just sail at high speeds along the floor, smashing it into the knees of two lines of Sentinels on either sides of her...

So... with a big smile on her lips, the Belle just flies between the line of Robot Men as they get ripped apart by her iron wings.

At least until she reaches a new section of the building and hears that voice. She drops right out of the sky and lands on the ground on her stomach. "Ow... shit..." She mutters then and there. "Found Bowser, I think." She says over the team comms then as she looks upward and quickly starts to run backward until she's up flying again.

Rogue lunges up into the air toward the roof where there's more beams and she snatches one up as she bursts through the ceiling and out into the night again...

Its only a few seconds later that the beam she rips from the roof of the building can be seen descending again, free falling at a rapid pace... tons and tons of iron destruction, falling toward where she'd approximately seen the Mould!

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde drops down into the room, grabbing Scott and his visor, and getting him out before fitting him with it again. She gets them up to the roof and looks about for signs of danger, before turning Scott over to Lockheed. The little dragon is capable of carrying a human, though he's more used to Kitty. But he flaps his wings hard and carries Scott back off, taking a circular route back to the plane to not lead anyone right to it.

Kitty then moves to assist the others if the fight is still going on.

Bastion has posed:
Psylocke continues to handle the human element outside, using her combination of abilities to get behind the leaders of the Friends of Humanity, to down those that are trying to rally resistance.

Shadowcat rescues Cyclops, getting him into the paws of Lockheed, and out of harm's way.

Colossus beats the hell out of Sentinels, and continues to hold a lot of attention in the courtyard of the center, as Jubilee blasts any groups that try to form up around the central building that Rogue is attacking.

Nightcrawler assists everybody, everywhere: a blur of bamphs, he joins in with each of the others on their different areas, offering that bit of support each time to keep the team cohesive, even if they are spread out.

And Rogue attempts to drop down onto the mold with the weight of the world. The mold, though, lifts both hands upwards to the sky, and releases two massive bolts of energy, frying all of the weight that comes down at it. A huge explosion of light flashes out from the massive Sentinel as it stands. Even as it fights, a smaller sentinel emerges from the mold's chest... only to fall to the ground like a dead toy.

Still, the mold's attention is upwards, and that gleam of reddish light came in low. Sebastion's got his own agenda. He attaches to the back of the head of the mold, and metallic leads slide into the mold's skull.

Bastion has posed:
The mold steps back suddenly, stumbling, hands spread apart. There's an opening for Rogue, or anyone else, fast enough to get in.

The Nullification drops away, for an instant....

Rogue has posed:
Once Rogue slams the heavy beam down she flies down after it and watches the beastly robot just toss the remains of the metal beam away. When the little tinier robot jumps out ofits interior she narrows her eyes and snarls a lip before she sweeps down to some of the wreckage in the broken out building.

Rogue spots a massive sentinel arm with a razor sharp saw-blade, so she scoops it up and swirls around in the air, then flies right at the Master Mould with the saw-blade arm in tow, tending to smash it into the Mould's face and tear her way into the machine while its defenses seem to be down.

"Nullifier on the Mould is down. I'm gonna make mashed potatoes outta this big damn bastard." She says over crackling comms, since the sounds of metal on metal chaos can already be heard mixed in with her voice.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty runs off the end of the building, heading for the Mold, or Kurt if she can spot him. She says over comms, "This thing builds other Sentinels. Can't stress how much we CANNOT let this thing get away. If we can't deal with it there, let's try to get it to the power plant and blow it."

Kitty scans the area. "Nightcrawler, can you teleport me to it? If not, Lockheed I need a pickup if you can get back here in time." She continues running fast as she can. "Just know I'm going to die entombed in a freaking Master Mold," she says off comms.

Nightcrawler has posed:
    BAMF! Kurt appears, seeing the Mold, seeing it rendered harmless without the nulifier. An idea occurs and he disappears again. Moments later bursting from another cloud, standing on the side of it's head... with a six foot hunk of rebar phased into it's head.
    BAMF! A light post taken from the city during replacements left in its chest.
    BAMF! The aluminum from a truck door shoved into the side of it's head. "Rogue! Grab things, large things and teleport with them held so they'll be merged into it's body! Go! Schnell!"
    BAMF! This time he plants his hands and feet and disappears with part of it's face drawn with him. Breath huffing over the comms as the strain begins to eat at him.

Bastion has posed:
Four of the X-Men focus on the mold, now: Rogue battering it with another Sentinel's sawblade body part, drawing attention as it stands and attempts to shoot her. It can, like the small ones, use eyes as lasers, but it's slow: and Rogue can teleport. Huge craters are left in the floor, other sentinels, buildings, from the missed shots.

Then Kurt arrives, tearing massive sections of the mold apart, as the objects teleported into the very structure of the mold entirely wreck those systems.

From the back, riding the nape, is an ordinary looking human: except that it is most definitely Bastion, drilling a huge hole into the back of it's head with a very powerful beam. The beam bursts through the front of the mold's face from an eye socket, destroying the beams it was trying to shoot Rogue with.

The mold begins to topple! "YOU WI... YOU WI..." it tries to say, trying to get the threat out.

Bastion, linked to it, falls with the massive mold, still connected to it by the leads he put into its neck.

"SELF DESTRUCT ACTIVE," says the mold, as a bright light in its chest starts to expand, growing in power.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue's seventh sense is her own personal safety, so when the eye beams start to blast at her, she's in the process of basically figure-skating except flying. Twirls, twists, and flips leave the southern belle narrowly avoiding the blasts from the Master Mold!

She loses her Sawblade arm while doing this too, sadly, as its oil-leaking parts cause it to slip from her hand. But Kurt's instruction and guidance do give her an idea she hadn't had before, likely because she's not as experienced at having this teleportation power as he!

So, With a quick glance to see what Kurt had put inside the metal beast... Rogue nods her head and turns around to fly toward--and pick up--an entire Sentinel...

She twists her body around then and flies toward the mold, dodging the beam that Bastion shoots out through its face. "Get clear, ya'll." Rogue BAMFs again with the Sentinel's central body and reappears with it lodged inside of the Master Mold.

Its then that she hears the self destruction warning. "Oh cripes... Everyone get REALLY clear!" She shouts and starts to fly up and out of the building!

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde says into her comms, "It's going to blow, get everyone clear!" She looks around and sees a pair of Friend of Humanity military types who stuck a round to fight and were knocked out in the ensue battle. "Oh for love of..." she says, groaning and then dropping down to the ground, passing into it and then popping back up. "Lockheed, need you," she says as she runs to them.

She has to deal with their full weight even when they are phased. Thankfully someone who isn't phased doesn't. Kitty grabs hold of the two of them, groaning in pain as she lifts the two heavy men, her legs shaking as she tries to stand. "Going to have to grab on, can't spare a hand," she tells Lockheed.

The dragon swoops down and grabs hold of her, unable to lift the three of them until Kitty phases the men, and her lower body. That weight is no longer felt by the dragon who flies them away.

Nightcrawler has posed:
    Landing on all fours, eyes wide and weary looking. Kurt does the only thing he can do in a moment like this. He disappears. With yet another (you love it. I love it. Say it with me) BAMF! Kurt disappears leaving smoke and sulphur smell in his wake. Porting himself several blocks away, ready to go more if the explosion looks like it's still going to chase him down.

Bastion has posed:
The explosion isn't as bad as they feared.

It still takes out the entire main recylcing building, and starts to chain into the next area. Fortunately, it doesn't hit the power plant. The master mold then starts to explode sectionally, as each of the giant limbs, delayed, explode, and those blasts knock the whole of the center, all of the buildings, the vehicles, all of it flying.

The recycling center, so much of it flammable, becomes a giant pillar of burning: a funeral pire of the last of the molds.
