Giants Stadium (Hiro/Open)

[Mimic]

You know what the worst part about visiting your old home town to see your favorite team play was? Having to take the huge leak during the middle of the game. Ever since he had copied Northstar's power Calvin had begun to notice that his ability to travel and try new things had expanded, especially when coming back to NYC was really only a short flight away for him. Everything had seemed rather boring at campus today what with Valeria having to study for some new project and everyone else either shopping, training or finding distraction in one another. Since his schedule was free Cal had made a last minute decision to go see a Giant's game. It had been fun to watch and after managing to sneak some beers he found the urge to answer natures call had grown rather insistent. While he was in the restroom taking a leak Mimic's ears picked up the sounds of someone tearing the place up. Normally he would've been the first to rush to see what the trouble was but he had to finish draining the lizard first. When he finally did he rushed out of the restroom in a blur of super speed to see what was happening.

Mimic's eyes scanned the surroundings and it didn't take long to see two giants, a kid hurling lighting and someone who looked alot like........Wolverine?

"Figures," Calvin said with a smirk, "doesn't matter where you go that guys gonna be in the middle of any brawl." Seeing his teammate here might have been a suprise but in truth it actually simplified things for him greatly. Regardless of what happened, who started what or why Calvin would have Wolverine's back. Fortunate for him since Mimic watched as the big dude in red somehow had two cars in hand and looks like he was going to smash Wolverine to the width of a piece of paper.

Bursting into motion Mimic tapped into Northstar's ability and seemed to disappear as he suddenly crossed the distance between himself and battle in mere moments. As he raced forward he noticed the big metal mutant from earlier in the Morlock Tunnels, good to know if he needed some extra muscle in this fight. Racing across the ground Calvin watched as the two cars wielded by the big man slowly raced towards his shorter teammate, relatively speaking of course.

Mimic poured on the speed and felt himself coming dangerously close to the limit he could safely move at as reached up snatched Logan out of the way and came to a halt with a wave of dust and dirt behind Juggernaut. He let Wolverine go and felt his perceptions turn to normal as he wasn't traveling at high speed for the moment.

"Wolverine might not be the nicest guy around but we'd prefer if he didn't turned into a Fat Head Poster. How about you try and pick on someone your own size for once." Given the big man's build and aggressive behavior Mimic had a feeling this guy would comment that no one was his size but oh well.

"Jeez Wolverine? Figured you'd take a creep like this down in 2 seconds flat." It was mostly meant as a joke but Mimic knew that if his teammate had trouble with this opponent he wasn't going to be an easy fight. He stood ready to see what Juggernaut did next.

Stay put Jubilee....watch my hat, it's my favorite. While she wasn't the most obedient of the hellions, she figured it was probably her best bet to stay out of the brawl. Especially when the big metal guy showed up to confront the other asian guy with lightning. Jubes was more focused on Logan's battle though and she was ready to jump in if Logan needed help.

"Crap! Logan! Ah!" she screamed covering her eyes as the Juggernaut picked up to automobiles and prepared to crush her team mate. Logan would probably be able to survive that but seeing it happen would still be upsetting. Her fingers cracked open and her peaked out to see a blur across the field perform a last minute rescue. There was only one person she knew who moved that fast, but she doubted JP would ever come to a football game unless he was scouting out for a man. She was rather surprised to see who it was and a grin was slapped across her face.

"CALVIN!!!!" she yelled. Ok, now this was starting to get good. No more standing on the side lines, time for some hellion action. Jubilee placed Logan's hat on the bench and started running down the bleachers, sparking up her hands with her eyes set on Juggernaut and discharging a stream of green and yellow plasma towards his feet as a warning shot.

"Hey, you! Back off of my friends before the fireworks really set off!"

[Wolverine]

Admittedly, Logan knew those cars were going to get him, it would have messed him up too, the crushing force of two large slabs of steel, not to mention them slamming into each other, probably making a lot of sharp metal edges where the steel was torn, would have left him in quite the nasty position.

It was lucky, not that he'd admit it, that Calvin was about to run in and get the Canadian was out of the way. "He's tough....hard skin. Real hard." he explained to Calvin, taking a moment to size up the situation. Of course, just because his skin was hard didn't mean Logan couldn't stab him.

The Canadian took a few steps back, before taking a slight moment to line himself up and prepare. He broke into a run, before yelling at Calvin. "Calvin, crouch now!" No point in using codenames out of costume. Although it would be ideal to see if those training sessions were paying off, if Calvin crouched properly, Logan intended to spring himself off his back, placing himself on top of Juggernaut, where he could try ram his claws into those eye slots and gash his eyes. Slamming Logan with those cars could have been a fatal attack, might as well take off the kid gloves.

[marko]

He turned his head to make sure his eye's were hit by the girl with the sparkles, a honest reaction until his eye's locked on one of the main support pillars that Hiro or he had taken down earlier, his eye's travelled up and he noticed the fact that the area seemed to be buckling under the weight. Growling he took off for the support pillar and put his hands on the bottom broken portion and pushed up. God those fat slobs up their weigh a lot, and he was pushing it with all the steel and cement added into it.

"Runt....you team leader..for that...excuse...of a group...why not try and get the people from this section outta here. Steelboy....make..a few...new...exits to get the crowd out....faster....Human Sparkler.....if ya want to do...something...why not trip a ....fire...alarm....or...something...." Once the people were out of this side he had a feeling he could brace the weight a bit better, but for now he was stretched out trying to hold it up without letting the people come crashing down. "Steelboy, if they won't do it you gotta get the people outta here. Start with lightning bug over there, get them outta here." He heard the crowd above start to cheer and stomp their feet, oh that's all I need. "MOVE!"

[Byakurai]

Before he even can say another word two more mutants come up and attacks Juggernaut, probably wanting to aid their friend. Their little fight attracted attention, a lot of attention. He panted before the great steel man, never letting his guard down no matter what. But where is body wanted to continue the fight his mind said no. He knew without help there was no way he can continue this fight. A sweat drop drips into his eye, his head reacted quickly by shaking.

'No...I can't give up, if I give up now everyone will look down on me. I need to get stronger. I need to to show them what I can really do. But...Fighting is wrong and I can just walk away with the injuries I have now. And this man..I don't think I can even hurt the guy. The logical thing is to walk away. No...I am with the brotherhood now. Mutants everywhere will be counting on my strength one day in the furture. This will be my personal test of will.'

The young mutant's determination began to raise. Lightning began to form around his body. Weakly he stood up to stand on both feet. He looked down at the ground then back at Colossus.

"Colossus-sama." He spoke, reserving the 'sama' title to the people he respected. "I respect you for the kindness and peaceful ways. You truly are the stronger man, in body and in mind. You are truly an honorable man." He bows to him for a moment then looks back up to him.

"One day we can be friends. But tonight, I need to prove to myself if I am strong enough in body to defend those who I love. Juggernaut so far shown me, my resolve is strong. But is it enough?" He get into his fighting stance. "One of those mutants came to my aid when I needed it most. I must help them. I apologize. Colossus-sama..."

He raised a hand hoping to surprise the gentle giant with a flash. He clenched his fist and makes his move. He steps to the left and aimed to charge at Juggernaut to help the three other mutants. He hopes this plan pulls through.

[Colossus]

"I respect you for the kindness and peaceful ways. You truly are the stronger man, in body and in mind. You are truly an honorable man." He bows to him for a moment then looks back up to him.

"One day we can be friends. But tonight, I need to prove to myself if I am strong enough in body to defend those who I love. Juggernaut so far shown me, my resolve is strong. But is it enough?" He get into his fighting stance. "One of those mutants came to my aid when I needed it most. I must help them. I apologize. Colossus-sama..."

Byakurai was certainly very different from the type of "evil" mutants Colossus had imagined himself facing after his training at the Xavier Institue was completed. Particularly considering this man bowed his head and apologized to him. Still wary though Piotr was ready for anything and when the flash of light erupted in his directions his eye-lids where partially closed. Certainly it was bright and his vision immdeatly became obscured by Colossus had a feeling that if his eyes where completely open the damage would have been far more severe to the orbits.

Without even thinking he did the most sensible thing he could, stomp his right with all the strength he could musted. The metallic body put all the force and strength into the blow that it could as the ground beneath him shook, concrete cracked and it almost felt like a small earthquake had just happened. The second his foot collided with the ground he heard Mr. Cain screaming things at about the ceiling collapsing and Piotr knew his actions had just caused more harm then good.

[Mimic]

"Calvin, crouch now!"

This whole situation was getting just crazy and fast. A flash of light off to the side caught his attention for a moment before Logan's words echoed in his ears. Having fought and trained along side the feral mutant for almost two years he knew what the smaller mutant was planning. A guy this big couldn't hit what he couldn't see. He couldn't see if Wolverine gouged his eyes out. While it certainly was gruesome this guy was a huge threat, literally. He could tell this human juggernaut was going to take a little more strength then Calvin could bring to bear in his diamond form. Luckily he already knew that the big metal guy he reconized was packing some serious strength. Reaching out with his mutant power Mimic's body went from flesh and bone to Organic Steel. He dashed forward and crouched down to act as a stepping stool for Wolverine. As soon as he felt his teammates foot land on him to leap forward Mimic burst upward with a surge of muscle to give Wolverine as much of a boost through the air as possible.

As the smaller mutant hurtled towards Juggernaut Calvin witnessed what was happening with the ceiling and what the big man was trying to do.

"James, wait!" he tried to call out soon enough to stop his teammate from blinding the only person trying to hold up the tons and tons of concrete over their head.

[Wolverine]

Logan landed on the Juggernauts back, high enough to be at the helmet, ramming his claws in at the eye slots. "I ain't the team leader of nothing bub! But if you think your gonna tear this place down and then have me jump at your word to stop, you got another thing comin'!" Logan spat from his position on top of the red clad mutant, still working his claws to gouge his eyes out.

"Calvin, get Jubes outta here! I gotta stop this guy!" he roared, not taking his attention away from the red clad giant, if he was going to try grab Logan, he was his enhanced reflexes and agility to help him out, and he'd use them to avoid whatever he had coming for him.

[jubilee]

"Trip a fire alarm? How about I just blow you up to kingdom come instead?" Jubilee shot back as her hands started to glow intensely. Seriously, it pissed her off when people took her for granted. She could be deadly like Logan or Calvin! She'd just have to make an example out of Juggernaut.

"I'm not going anywhere, Logan. This guy wants to talk trash, he better be able to back it up!" she screamed discharging a more powerful concussive blast of plasma towards Juggernaut's face.

[marko]

Seeing the lightning coming right before he slammed his eye's closed he spun himself so that the strike should hit the little guy on his back clawing at his eye's. He kinda hated to do this, but he really didn't have much of a choice sense he liked his eye's right were the good lord put them. When the claws came striking in at them he slammed his eye's closed more at instinct then at the thought of protection, he threw up his mental shield after the lightning to block out the fireworks. Good lord these kids aren't thinking for crap, but there was one who..........'oh don't tell me he just did what I think he did?' He could feel the ground shake some and felt the weight of the stands push down on him, but so far he was able to keep it up.

"COLOSSUS! STOP THINKING WITH YOUR HEAD UP YOUR BUTT!" He was starting to feel all that weight in his arms, arms that had just come back to life from the lightning strikes they absorbed at the beginning of this fight he wasn't in the best mood in the world so he was going to have to figure out a way to keep this fight from turning into a real OK corral with mutants instead of cowboys.

Then he remembered hearing someone trying to stop who he thought was the one on his back. "Hey Kid, if you have an ounce of brains in your head, you can see how this is going to come out if things keep going right? So why not just try and do what I told ya. Get those people up there out of here." He wasn't sure about this surfer kid, but right now he was ready to put a few dents into Colossus. "And you walking Cadillac, grab that lightning kid, and something other than your pecker that is made of metal. Drag the other piece of metal on the ground and get him the hell outta here. Then get your butt back in here, and help get these people OUT!" He was about at the end of his patience, the little guy should have just got a bit of a shock and he was praying it was enough to get him off his back. He was a bit preoccupied for fighting right at the moment.

[Byakurai]

The young man charges at the big red man only to fail. The metal man, Colossus, stomps the ground. Shaking everything around them. He falls to a knee, unable to react quickly a piece of the stadium. Falls onto his shoulder ripping flesh and dislocating his arm. He pushed the object away and due to the massive loss of blood mixing with a constant overflow. His mind wandered off.

'This was I could do in the end? How pitful. And I called myself a fighter of justice. This is absolutely....'

He looked at the ground as his vision became blurred by his sweat. He does a couple of hard blinks and looked up once more see a the red giant hold up the stadium. Thoughts flowed into mind wondering what was going on now. He narrowed his eyes trying to see better but failed.

'Why....Was he really the good guy after all, was I evil? No...But
this doesn't make sense.' He questioned him self for a moment. Then eventually accepted his defeat.

'I fought my best and face the enemy with honor and respect. Even when he fought dirty. I still will respect this fight. My only regret....'

Before he could finish his thought he looked up to see a sharp tipped object fly right at him. He couldn't really move out the way. He was almost like a staute

'This is a terrible and ugly way to go...'

The young man closed his eyes, slightly tilted to the side, only hoping the pillar would miss. But he will still accept death all the same if it doesn't.

[Colossus]

Everything seemed to be happening so quickly. The shockwave produced by stomping his foot down knocked the lighting boy down but unfortunately he wasn't able to avoid a piece of debris that struck his should and made his blood start to flow. To add to the trouble Mr. Cain was furious with him for his judgement error. His words made Piotr both angry and embarassed at the same time. Before anything else could happen he saw a pillar falling and aiming directly for Hiro. Without even thinking Colossus rushed forward and grabbed him in a protective hug and turned to place his metallic body in between the young mutant and the falling debris.

Concrete smashed against his metallic body and shattered into a cloud of dust that made it difficult to see for a moment before he managed to blink it away. With a firm hold of Hiro Colossus turned and took the most direct path out of the collapsing stadium, avoiding hitting any support columns or walls as he did so. When he had judged that they where far enough to be considered safe he deposited the young man on the ground and ripped off the remains of Piotr's own shirt. The shoulder wound looked nasty but the big russian hoped this strange mutant would live. He placed the shirt against Hiro's wound and used the boy's other hand to push down on the cloth.

"Keep pressure on it and try to hold on. I must go help the others." With that Colossus raced back and almost managed to reach the area where Mr. Cain and the other mutants still resided when suddenly the ceiling raced down towards him. Reacting on instinct he raised his hands up and caught the falling material like he would a person, making sure to let the structure lean into him instead of trying to push it up and into place. The weight was tremendous and Colossus knew he couldn't hold on for very long. He grunted with effort as his muscles started to strain but could do little else until the other mutants where free and the people above evacuated. Hopefully at least he would survive if this all came tumbling down upon him.

[Mimic]

This situation had gone from bad to worse. Lightning flew past Calvin as he watched Wolverine and the big red guy still trying to duke it out even though the big red guy seemed to be the only one trying to hold up the ceiling which was threatening to crush them all. Calvin knew that with his combination of speed, strength, durability and healing factor he could probably survive a collapse, Logan would come back from almost anything damage wise and it seemed like the big metal guy he was copying and the big red one where tough enough to survive also. Jubilee however appeared to be the most vulnerable and as he watched more of the ceiling start to crumble, even a chunk hitting the asian kid who was hurling lightning about, he knew his first priority.

After Jubilee discharged her blast at Juggernaut Mimic decided it was time to get her out of such a dangerous setting. She'd probably be mad with him for a while but it didn't matter as long as she managed to survive this. Moving at high speeds, reduced from what he could normally do since he was organic steel at the moment, he zipped across the room and wrapped an arm around Jubilee before turning and heading for nearest free space outside of the area that was collapsing. If he didn't give her a chance to protest it would speed up the entire process. With his grip secured he moved away as quickly as he could while avoiding anything too dangerous. Pieces of concrete and debris dinged off his armored form several times but he just kept pushing through until they where clear.

"Jubes," he said quickly, "stay here and try and help those people above if you can. I'll try and be back but remember to stay safe." He gave her a wink as he knew the last part didn't really need to be said but he felt he had to add it in anyways. Turning back Mimic headed in to see what good he could do. Calvin would've gone up to help like Juggernaut had ordered but he had a feeling down here would be a better spot to be helpful and frankly humans tended to freak out when a metal skinned mutant appeared, even if it was to help.

"Logan!" he called to the feral mutant on Juggernaut's back, "This place is coming down regardless. Get out of there!" If he had to drag the smaller team member kicking and screaming out he would but right now he had to hope Wolverine could seperate himself enough from this big monster in order to get the freedom. If this big red guy still wanted to fight they could at least do so without countless concrete and metal threatening to come down on top of their heads.
