All-New, All-Different X-Force! Island Boogie
With the speed of the Blackbird, the six X-Men were able to reach the island, located in an otherwise empty stretch of the Pacific Ocean, in almost no time at all. The island looked as though it had been untouched by man for centuries. Thick jungle had grown without limits and a towering volcano could be seen rising from the center. A thick swampland dotted one end. There was no sign of life, no sign of the Blackbird that had brought the other team.

There was an almost sinister feel about the whole thing.

	Birds of prey, larger than any the two had likely ever seen, swooped down at the sky at them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He was about to ask her what Ana meant by a statement she made earlier when she told him to hit the dirt. Ever a fan of living, Joey didn't ask question: he dropped like a stone. He'd wait for the birds to go past, then look to Rose. "You want me to blow 'em out of the sky?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Joey concentrates on the lead buzzard as it comes back at them, hoping Rose can take the second one. It's daylight and Joey can feel the power of the volcano beneath them the closer they get. Yes, it is a bad day...for the birds.

The buzzard Joey concentrates on suddenly catches fire...and explodes before their eyes, spraying bits of hot gore all around.

Joey lets out a breath. "This dragon breathes fire."

	Rose's method is a little... more physical than Joey's, but just as gory. She popped her claws as the bird swooped down, stabbing upward at just the right time. "And this kitten's got claws," she quipped. She looked up to see more birds coming. "...Got any more fire in the tank, Bub?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Plenty of fire, hot stuff. But we need higher ground or good cover. They'll just swarm us down here." he says, calling another sphere of fire to his hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	As the two ran, the birds continued to swoop toward them. Meanwhile, the canyon walls started closing in... (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Rose spared only a single glance to make sure Joey was keeping up, but the two made it out of the canyon before the walls would have crushed them. The birds? Were not so lucky. "...Startin' to get the impression this place has it in for us?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Joey can't believe this crap!

"The walls just tried to smash us while the birds were trying to kills us!" he pants. This place, whatever it is, is nuts.

"Yeah, I'm gettin' that feelin' and it's startin' to piss me off. How do we know it hasn't done away with the other people we're lookin' for already?" he asks.

If this place can try to kill them, it might be smart enough to cover its tracks, too.

	Rose frowned, trying to think. "Can't smell 'em," she said. "But I can barely smell you right now. Too many scents." She flipped open her communicator and found that it wasn't getting any signal. "Dammit..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Let me guess," Joey says, sure he knows the answer this question, "you got no reception on the communicator. Which means it's just us." This day was getting better and better. "For all the trouble this is, we could have gone out for sushi again." he jokes, more to keep himself calm than to get a laugh. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Got it in one," Rose said, replacing the communicator on her belt. A smile twitched at her lips. "Don't worry," she said. "We will." She pointed onward, toward the volcano. "Nothing to do but keep going." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Usually the people with the high ground make out better than those who don't have it. I really hope our people aren't in the volcano, though." Joey says.

"That's a little too much Tolkien for me, and no, I'm not gonna cast it into the fire, just so we're clear." he says, letting her take the lead. She's got better senses than him, so she might catch the hint of an ambush before it lands on top of them.

	Rose moved slowly but deliberately, stopping every so often to listen or sniff. "Hope not," she agreed, "but maybe I'll let you see me in a virgin sacrifice bikini sometime, if we survive this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Those words are music to Joey's ears.

"We are going to survive this, rescue our people AND survive the plane trip home. You know how to motivate a guy, Professor Rose." Joey says, keeping an eye out behind them, just in case. He also looks upward, to make sure there aren't any other birds closing in.

"I hope the others are doin' okay." Joey says. It would be terrible luck to get through all this just to find out it's him and Rose vs the island with all their teammates' lives on the line, in addition to the X-Men trapped here.

	"Me too," Rose replied. No sign of any more birds as the got closer to the volcano, but something more was coming, she could feel it in her bones. The ground beneath them started rumbling and before them, creatures of rock started to rise out of the earth itself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Rose, get down!" Joey yells to his girlfriend. The moment she does, he extends his arms and levels a double-blast of flame at the nearest rock creature, trying to slow these things down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The creatures were made of rock, but Joey's flames were hot enough to sear even them. One went down already, but the other two were still moving. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rose took a gamble and fired her psi-blast at one of the rock creatures. It staggered for a moment, though it kept going. But it had affected it... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Joey fires another blast of heat at the rock creature Rose just attacked, though it's not as intense as the previous one. He realizes he's going to need the energy in case things get hotter further up the volcano, no pun intended. If the second one goes down, he will fire if it isn't too close to Rose. He doesn't want to hurt her by accident. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Team Two: Rose and Joey: To the Volcano wild_rose 2010-04-10 04:18 am UTC (link)
	Rose added with own blasts to Joey's, and working together, the two of them are able to bring it down. The third one had gotten close in that time, and reached out with surprising speed, striking Rose and sending her flying. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	When Rose goes flying, Joey makes a rookie mistake and takes his eye off his enemy. In the back of his head, Joey knows Rose is a lot tougher than she looks, but worry crowds his reactions. Foxx taught him better than that, but he doesn't remember it in the face of the attack. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
