At the still point of destruction, at the center of the fury
Charles Xavier, head of the Xavier Institute of Higher Learning and mentor of the X-Men, had been busy in the recent days. Together with an old friend, Erik Lehnsherr, the two of them pushed the anti-human groups into action. Attacks on humans started happening all around New York City.

In Times Square the MLF appeared and started attacking the sea of people in the "Crossroads of the World". They also targeted the nearby Police and fire stations to hinder efforts to control the chaos they were creating.

Down on Wall Street the Brotherhood started attacking the bankers and investment brokers.

Leading the attacks on humans were Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr.

Mutants attacking humans prompted responses from anti-mutant groups such as the Friends of Humanity, the Church of Purity and other pro-human groups.

The streets of New York quickly became a battleground between humans and mutants.

	The X-Men and the Genoshans weren't the only ones responding to the sudden outbreak of mutant terrorism in New York. The Church of Purity also responded by activating a few Mark XI Sentinels. The huge 30' robots started targeting mutants, any mutants, and taking aim. (Reply to this)(Thread)

"Can I just say? I hate sentinels," Vlad says while looking up at his giant opponent. "You look stupid from an aesthetic perspective but really you're a pain in the ass. C'mon, don't you things get tired of this? No? Didn't think so." Talk didn't really attract a sentinel's attention so Vlad picks up a giant boulder that had once been the corner of a building before all this chaos and throws it at the thing's head.

	It was a fact he should accept: best not to get in his girlfriend's way when she's telekinetically attacking a sentinel. One that Vlad's throwing rocks at noisily, though? Starbridge approached that one from the back, trying to get in close enough to the feet to get his talons into panels and wiring. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	These sentinels weren't the run of the mill sentinels. These were equipped with force fields. The boulder bounced off the field and landed on a bus. Starbridge would find himself running into an invisible barrier. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Okay...that's new." Good thing the bus had been empty. Well, might as well try something else. The thing had to put its force fields down at some point. Perhaps when it tried for a physical attack. No harm in trying. Well...no harm to him.

"Hey! Down here! Yes, you! Thought you were good at that mutant finding thing! Weren't you going to at least try to catch me?" Vlad yells and waves his hands at the sentinel while running in close to find the limit of the force field. Better the attention be on him than Starbridge, one of them could take a beating better.

	"Seriously, you guys haven't upgraded the recorded lines yet?" With that he runs at the sentinel and pushes off with superstrength to go flying at the thing's face, punch ready to go. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The sentinel tracked Vlad and fired an energy blast. It didn't see Starbridge and took damage to his left leg. It brought its left hand back and shot a blast a Starbridge. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	What Starbridge lacked in not-being-sheltered, he made up for in more acrobatic training, flipping backwards to dodge the blast, though he could feel the edge of the searing heat as he did so. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The blast hits Vlad nearly straight on and sends him flying back into the bus from before, leaving a good sized dent. But he'd expected that. In fact he was hoping it would start this way. Be a distraction to get Starbridge some chances all while letting the thing rip his skin. The blast had done that job well, the metal layer was clearly visible on most of his top half and bit here and there on the rest of him.

Good. That was a nice strength boost.

"You okay Starbridge? Just keep it up!" He calls out as he does another running leap to land on top of a building not too far from the Sentinel to try and get it's attention again. "Terminate this way!"

When he saw the ice spears, Vlad momentarily thought it was another mutant and turns to both be disappointed and confused by the guy on the ice slide. "Starbridge...did I miss a memo or something?" Because this was weird. Well, don't look a gift horse in the mouth, better the sentinel aiming at the Brotherhood guy than Starbridge.

So while the sentinel's focus is on Coldsnap, Vlad leaps at its face and puts his full power into a punch into its face plate.

	The sentinel's face was smashed in from Vlad's punch. It stumbled as the torn wires in its leg caused shorts. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Purifiers - Sentinel under_the_skin 2012-11-21 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	Of course he can't stay on the faceplate forever, so Vlad jumps up to grab onto a bit of one of the sentinel's weird hat things, at least that's how he'd always thought of them, and swings a bit to send a powerful double kick at the ice spear embedded in one of the thing's eyes and drive it further in.

Perfect. Now to do something about this thing's balance. Good thing Starbridge was getting to a safe distance.

Letting go of his grip on the helmeted bit, Vlad drops down to the Sentinels leg and moves so that he's in a good position to lay into the Sentinel's knee. It's a Sentinel, that means he doesn't need to hold back and just focus on creating enough damage that this leg won't be able to hold its weight much longer.

"Timber!"
