"Well atleast we take the same classes here, right?" Darryl looked over at Noriko as the two walked down the hallway toward the classrooms.

"Yeah. Since we're in diffrent grades, the public highschool seperates us. It's good to be able to relax together in cl-" Noriko was cut off by a telepathic alert by Xavier.

"There's been reports of a sentenial attack nearby a newborn mutant's home. Leave right away and defeat the sentenial!" And with Xavier's message ending, Darryl grabbed Noriko by the arm, and took off flying out of the mansion.

"Slow down Jackass!" Darryl had just flown past Bobby Drake, better known as Iceman.

"Shuddup popsicle!" Noriko always insisted on having the last laugh. The two jetted out toward the city, flying as fast as they could.

"I just got the location from Xavier. The house is in the country side." Noriko pointed forward as she spoke.

"Of course it is. Ok we're gonna speed up. Hang on, ok?" Darryl was holding Noriko by her waist, with her body dangling from his arms.

"Hang on to what? Let me climb on your back." And with that, Darryl stopped moving and hovered in mid air as Noriko climbed up over Darryl, stepping on his face and wrapping her arms around Darryl's neck.

"Ack! Not so tight..." Darryl complained.

"What? You said hang on. Just go." Noriko kicked at the back of Darryl's knee's, causing them to decend slightly.

"Ugh. Let's go." Darryl charged up his energy, and then bursted forward so rapidly, he created a brief "sonic boom." To anyone else looking, Darryl appeared like a shooting star. However, inside the mass of energy Darryl had created, Noriko had been holding on for dear life. The energy field Darryl surrounded the two with while traveling slowly took the shape of angel wings on the back, with bright blue light surrounding them. An hour flight had turned into a ten minute one, as Darryl suddenly stopped while releasing the energy field he traveled in. Blue energy rushed off him and flew off into the sky, while Noriko dangled almost limply off his back.

"You can't travel your full speed while I'm on your back!" Noriko backhanded Darryl in the chest, rather hard, once they had landed safely on the ground. Darryl coughed a bit of blood out, and then looked around, choosing to ignore Noriko's actions. He did after all, tear off her hairties and frizzled her hair. Truthfully, he wasn't at his full speed. Close, but not quite.

"So where the hell is this se-"

"Mutant's detected!" Darryl was cut off to see a sentenial approaching from behind him. Upon squinting his eyes, he saw a destroyed farm house, and once the sentenial got closer, blood on it's knuckles. Darryl's eyes narrowed angrily, and he sucked his teeth loudly, producing a "teh" sound. Without warning, it opened up it's chest plate and shot out a rain of missles. Darryl's eyes glowed, as a dome of saphira energy surrounded the two teenage mutants, and allowed the missles to smash into it. When the missle rain ended, the dome vanished and immediately, Noriko shot out a bolt of electricity at the knee's of the Sentenial. It smashed into it, causing it to singe it's metal armor. "Destroy!!" And with that, it brought it's oversized fist down upon the two. They both jumped out the way however; Noriko hitting the ground and rolling and Darryl jumping into the air and using his saphira energy to fly.

A fist flew at Darryl, who dived down and caused the fist to fly over him. He then flew into the air and shot a bolt of energy at the head of the Sentenial. It smashed into the poor Sentenial, and caused a small explosion to occur and smoke to cover the area. "Well that's tha-"

"Watch out!" Noriko cried out, as from the smoke two pairs of glowing crimson eyes locked onto Darryl.

"What the bit-" Twin blast of laser energy protruded from the Sentenial, and smashed into Darryl's chest and stomach, coliding at the same time. The force of the wave of energy propelled the angel of death in the air; laser beams still attached. He soon found himself flying back the way he came, unable to tear himself from the burning lasers.

Meanwhile, Noriko aka Surge had been stuck fighting the massive hunk of metal alone. She began raining electric blast at the mechanical beast, whom simply took it with little to no damage. However, she was keeping it at bay, and that was really all she expected to do. This sentenial was diffrent from most. Granted, it was already hard enough to strike a metal being with lightning due to it's natural resistance against it, but the Sentenial had lightning rods attached at key points at it's body, which drew Noriko's strikes towards it and harmlessly rerouted it toward the rubber at the bottom of the rods.

Whoever made this Sentenial knew their stuff. However, they didn't count on the power of Noriko's strikes. Every shock enabled her to momentarily hault the Sentenial's movements. Meanwhile, Darryl had flew a good ten miles away, and was still going. He struggled as he wrapped his hands around the lasers, in an attempt to knock them away. No only was Darryl having no such luck, but has hands had been slowly receiving burns from the heat of the lasers. "I've...had..." Darryl's body was outlined with blue light. He took a sharp intake of breath inbetween his words. "...Enough!!" He cried out, as he released a massive burst of Saphira energy from his body. The energy was enough to push the two laser blast straight up, causing them to accend toward the heavens. Exauhsted, Darryl fell down...into the ocean below. His eyes closed, as he plunged lower and lower in the sea.

"Darryl, I could really use you right now..." Noriko muttered as the sentenial began recovering quicker from her rain of lightning. "I did not want to have to do this..." Noriko placed her hands on her gauntlets, and ripped them off her hand. Lightning surged around her hands, and with one mighty yell she let out a massive stream of lightning. It was so powerful, that even the sky around her began to blacken. Once the blast ended, and Noriko fell to the ground defeated, a layer of the sentenial's armor was reduced to ash. "Of course...multiple layers of armor..." Noriko's annoyance was evident, but the fact remained that she was drained.

"Water...not good. Come on, get it together..." Darryl thought, as his sandy brown eyes slowly opened. His body, mainly his hands and torso were burned rather badly, and the salty water almost made him cry out in pain. However, he simply closed his eyes and focused on his injuries. Glowing a faint blue, his wounds slowly began to heal up. He then floated out of the water, and bawled his fist. "Now I'm..." His body glowed with energy, and the energy trail shaped like an angel's wing appeared on his back. His body was covered in a blue energy field. "...Pissed!" Darryl took off, instantly hitting his top speed of mach 2. A sonic boom occured, and a visible cloud of condensation appeared around his energy trail, as he blasted back onto the battle.

It took him all but a minute to reach the area, and by that time the sentenial was approaching the defenseless Noriko. Darryl held his hand out, and wrapped it in a void of saphira energy. He approached the sentenial, and without losing his speed, struck it with his energy-covered fist. His punch shattered both, the sentenial's body as well as Darryl's punching arm. In fact, a shockwave echoed from the strike. As the sentenial collapsed, Darryl fell to the ground...hard. The result of him flying at such a speed was his parts of his skin being ripped off, leaving his fleshy interior exposed. His breath became shallow, as he wearily placed his non-broken hand on himself and healed. Although he was able to accelarate his skin cells to quickly form skin, his arm still dangled broken.

"...You gonna be able to heal that?" Noriko, by this time had picked herself off the ground and placed her gauntlets back on. She then walked closer to Darryl, and sat down upon the remains of the sentenial's torso. Instead of answering however, the young man had formed a scapel from his saphira energy, and much to the disgust and discomfort of Noriko, cut his arm open and removed the shattered bone pieces from within. He then placed his left arm on his arm, and concentrated. Slowly, a new bone began to form in the now unoccupied space, until it was good as new. He then closed up his arm and healed the self-inflicted wound.

"Yeah. Let's go home..." He wearily bent over, allowing Noriko to climb upon his back, and took off toward the mansion. Not only had they failed their mission, as the newborn mutant, and the non-mutant parents were murdered, but they had missed classes for the day and even dinner. Once they reached home, it was atleast 8'o clock. The two weary mutants were greeted by the faces of two other teenage mutants. One was a caucassian female, with long brown hair. The fronts of said hair however, was white.

"Where we're ya'll? You missed the whole day." The gloved female spoke with a southern drawl.

"Had a mission Rogue." Noriko was close to Rogue, since the two were roomies.

"Dang! The professor never tells me about missions." The speaker's accent was new yorkish. It was the second teenage mutant who was speaking this time; a skinny african-american male with a blond mohawk. He pulled up his baggy khaki's a bit once he finished talking.

"Well sorry, Evan. Next time be glad to go in my place." Darryl taunted. Evan Daniels, aka Spyke, was not only Darryl's roomie, but a close relative to Ororo aka Storm. At that moment, another female entered the room and walked toward the four. She had short blond hair, and was currently sporting tight jeans with a canary tube top.

"Ah, Darryl! Just who I wanted to see. Wanna go out tonight?" Tabitha Smith questioned. Tabitha was a cool person to be with, or so Darryl thought, but she had a...mischevous streak to say the least.

"No, he dosen't." Noriko had been eyeing Tabitha at this point, and the tension was evident.

"You're not his mother, don't answer for him." Was all Tabitha needed to say, for the argument to begin. The two females began bickering back and forth for quite some time, before Noriko walked away annoyed.

"Do what you want!" And a door slammed shut. The room fell silent, and Tabitha used the oppurtunity to link Darryl's arm with hers, and walk out the mansion. Tabitha had dragged Darryl to a party, much to his annoyance. Due to the fact that he wasnt informed, he was still sporting his now tattered cloak/cape combo, and his black pants which were also ripped and torn. He grew even more annoyed once Tabitha pulled off the cloak and folded it up, tossing it in a bush near the house, and pushed him inside. Seconds later, he was on the dance floor, with Tabitha grinding against him.

Once the song was over, she twirled away, and returned with two shot glasses, forcing one in Darryl's hand. "I don't drink..." He stared dully at the glass.

"What's wrong? Scared you'll be out drank by a girl?" Darryl's eyebrow twitched a bit, as he gripped the shot glass. He said nothing, but quickly downed the glass.

"Oh now we're talking!" She shouted, downing her glass and dragged him over to the table. An hour later, both of them we're drunk and stumbled out of the party, toward the mansion. They attempted to sneak in...but Darryl fell into the wall and Tabitha slipped and fell with a crash. Eventually, they made it to their rooms and passed out.

A song and a sudden vibration caused Darryl's eyes to open. "Oh my head...oh my phone..." Darryl clutched his head as he reached into his pocket and pulled out his iphone, which had flashed Noriko's picture and had been playing the chorus to "Obsession" by Franky J. He answered the call, putting it up to his ear. "Hello?"

"Where the hell are you? Your stupid ass stayed out all night with Tabitha, and now you're late. Get to the danger room, we're all waiting." And with that, the phone clicked as she hung up. Darryl sprung up, his head spinning for a second.

"I wish I could cure hangovers..." He muttered, grabbing a new cloak and changing into dark black pants, and walked down to the danger room. Much to his horror, Candra in cat form with a dead mouse in her mouth. "Ack!" Darryl jumped up quickly, and shot a blast of energy at the mouse.

"Ricky! No!" Candra cried, morphing back to her human form, only to morph into a mouse. Darryl used his energy to turn his arm into an energy cannon and pointed it at Candra.

"That's not funny!" He shouted, as he began shooting energy at it. Candra scurried around the room, before running straight toward Darryl, and morphing into a White Tiger. She jumped up, diving at Darryl and knocking him flat on his back. It was widely known that the white tiger was Darryl's favorite animal, and the mouse was his greatest fear.

"Stop toying with my emotions..." Darryl whined, as Candra turned into a mouse again upon Darryl's chest, and ran up Noriko's leg. Noriko said nothing, but let out a slight shock which caused Candra to fall off her leg and morph back into a human.

"Hey! That hurts! Your lucky I can't turn into a Pikachu. As a matter of fact..." Candra bawled up her fist, squinted her eyes, and began grunting in concentration. She then began waving her hands around shouting "Pikachuuuuu!" Once the group ignored her however, she stopped and simply pounted.

"Leave the party animal alone." Noriko shot a glare at Darryl, whom simply clutched his head through his long brown hair.

"Well now...let's begin." Nick lazily stated, as they began to start their training.
