Ororo arose from her bed, awakening with the rising sun, sliping on a short blue tank top, and white shorts. She went to the bathroom, did what needed to be done. Then came out and proceded to go downstairs, to the kitchen. It was her turn to cook the days meal, as she walked by the table, she noticed two peaces of paper lying there. She stopped and picked both up and read the first one facing her.
" left, be back, ummm, whenever" Remy.
She then read the other note.
" see yas laters" Sonja
Ororo set both notes back down.
"mmmm, well I hope you both come back soon. This isn't going to sit well with Scott, or the others." she thought.
As she made her way over to the counter, Jean walked in, with Scott a few steps behind.
" Good morning Ororo, want help with breakfast? "
" Morning Jean, well if you wouldn't mind, then sure." she said with a smile.
" what do they mean, they left?! For how long?! Where?! Why?! " Scott was practically yelling at the top of his lungs. bring in a few more groggy X-Men.
Jean walked over to her husband, putting her arm around his waist and looked over to the papers he was intently staring at. He looked up, and handed them to her. she took and read what was printed.
" I'm sure it's totally inoccent. even coincedental. At least they told you that they were leaving "
"yah, I guess. But they still should have asked to go and told us where to cantact them, incase there needed." Scott was still annoyed, when Bobby came in and got in on the fun joking around and making cheap shots.
They landed 50 miles away from the city still cloaked. Not wanting anybody to know they were there. They had arrived by morning, and decided it'd be best to stay in the jet, and to keep it cloaked.
The day was passed, by playing poker, and other card games. Gambit always won, but Tigress often gave him a run for his money. Until finally, sweet darkness engolfed the Island.
Doing a surface scan of the area, Gambit declared they were alone. Both grabed their gear, and jumped out of the jet. Gambits costume, leaving nothing to the imagination. With it's half mask and black body suit, with fat, horizontal fushia colored stripes, going down, on the outside of his arms and legs. over top of this, was his fushia colored kalvar chest armor. And to top it off, silver colored knee high metal boots, with knee guards. All and all it was a perfect combination.
Not to mention, Remy was one hell of a looker. With his unruley long, red brown hair. swarthy, chiseled face with a 5:00 shadow. and his 6'2, lean muscled frame.
Tigresses costume consisted of a tight black workout top, and tight black pants, with red tiger stripes going all the way down. With black platform, heeled shoes, with white souls. Her costume accented her short red hair, and looked great, with her lean fit body. Sonja was 5'7, with red eyes. Though, unlikes Remy's eyes, which gave him night vision, Sonja's were just red. That is, the irisis.
Gambit figured it was 45 miles to the base. But it'd obviously be a very long walk, so both had agreed to fly it. Tigresss picked Gambit up beneath his arms. hooking her hands together infront of him, while Remy held onto the bags. Tigress flew 10 feet above the ground, twisting and turning around trees and other obstacles. It was a silent trip, none of them talking, the only sounds were those of the jungle, the whistling of the slight breeze. Night creatures talking, and, or warning other creatures. The scuring over head, from small animals moving about the tree tops. And the ocassional scream , made by an unsuspecting victim.
As Tigress reached the end of their journey, about two miles from the perimeter fence. They landed, and countinued on foot, but this time seeking cover, and looking for possible threats. Although "FATALITY" was a high tech, facility, they took all imaginable, percations of staying hidden. So, there were either going to be guards, or camras. And they couldn't use thier powers, without being detected. So all this, was going to be done, free hand. So to speak.
Gambit went off to the left, covering a ten foot area. And Tigress, took off to the right, covering a ten foot area, as well. Both went slowly, senses turned on to the max. Tigress was crouched behind a tree, looking around for her targets, when she heard a rustling in Gambits direction, then the thud. She looked over, just in time to see Remy, jump down out of the tree, and land as gracefully as a cat to the ground. He glanced quickly at Tigress, Tigress spun, kicking the gaurd that had been trying to sneak up upon her, neatly in the jaw. But before he could yell out in pain, she snapped his neck. Effectivly silencing him. They continued on, taking down any guards in the visinity.
Soon they came to within 15 feet of the main fence. Both crouched behind trees, surveying their next obstacle, camras were mounted on the fence posts, every 15 feet.
Gambit went into his duffle bag, and grabed a can, and started spraying the area in front of him. Sure enough, they're were, laser beams, about a foot off the ground.
" We gota take ou' de camras firs', but wit wha' i'm not sure of "
"um, what if we partially knocked down a tree, ta block it's veiw? then another, on the other side. it'd only bring two people ta investagat. if that."
" oui, bu' i'might cause some suspision. how often does dat happen? "
" yah, oh well"
" Ah, de hell wit dis. lets jus' knock de camras down instead."
"fine. But then we still have ta make it look like it was accidental."
"how?"
"well monkeys, are really bad for those kinda things." she looked at him, with a devilish grin.
"mmm. well den we gota fin' ourselfs some monkeys"
They back tracked , for about 50 feet, until they heard the unmistakeable sounds, oo-oo-haw-hawings. Gambit shimyed up the closet tree to them, and got the chimps on the run. Tigress had climed up a tree parelle to them. making sure they didn't turn, when they weren't supposed to. The monkeys started to scream at the top of thier lungs, making one hell of a racket. Sonja and Remy got them to within 15 of the perimeter fence. Then climbed down, and hid behind the same trees. Gambit the picked up the nearest rock, took aim, and threw. It hit the lence of the camra, shattering it, then did the same to the other one.
Tigress and Gambit then crawled under the laser beams, got to the fence, and climbed over. Once over both countined to run over to one of the outer doors to the main building. A couple of guards were now coming out of another building, into the yard to check out the camras. There were five guards in total.
"two guards, if that, y'said, sure" He wispered.
"so I was off by a few, could happen ta anybody."
Remy went into his duffel bag, taking out is tools. and began to work on the door. As he felt the tumblers fall into place, Tigress nuged him lightly. He fallowed her gaze to one of the people out in the yard. She was turning in a 360 degreee circle. scanning the whole area. Her name was Akuma, an alpha class telepath.
