Chapter 96 - Convergence Part 4

Tony looked at the weird man in the cap as he raised his hand at him. The comment about his suit stung just enough that he moved his arm to aim his repulsors. Just as he was about to tear this old guy a new one the suit locked up and started to creak.

Jarvis's startled voice instantly sparked over the comms, as Tony groaned in pain. "Sir, an unknown force is affecting the outer hull! Suit integrity is rapidly failing!" "What the hell is going on! What the hell are you doing to my suit?!" Tony shouted as the suit was dragged slowly towards Magneto.

"Homosapien's and their toys." Magneto let out a condescending smirk as he slowly continued to crush the Iron Man armour. Turning off his speakers after such a response as they were breaking anyway, he started to brain storm ideas with Jarvis. "Jarvis analyze what is going on and find a solution fast!" Tony's voice was starting to panic. "Right away Sir."

"Stop Magneto!" Rogue and Nightcrawler couldn't sit idly by as Magneto started to kill Iron Man in front of them. Forgetting about Kimura, who was still staring intently at Laura, Rogue flew into the air closing in on Magneto fast.

*Puff* Nightcrawler beat her to the punch though as he disappeared from his spot and appeared right next to Magneto ready to teleport him somewhere else, possibly take his helmet. They had both been taught by the professor to help those in need. Plus Iron Man was a hero like them, even if they were in disagreement just seconds ago.

Just as Nightcrawler appeared next to Magneto and tried to grab him, someone else stopped him "Your fights with me blue boy!" The slight nasally voice of Toad sounded out as he wrapped his legs around Nightcrawlers body and threw him out of the way.

"Aww god man you stink." *Puff* With those words both of them disappeared to a different side of the street, starting a small brawl. Rogue spared them a small glance before picking up her speed, ready to deliver a crushing blow to the leader of the Brotherhood.

The Blob, in a surprising show of speed, appeared in front of her just before she could land the blow though and all the force got sucked up into his stomach. With a bear hug Rogue became pinned to his body and even started to sink in a little. "Haha, you smell nice." Rogue was not amused by that comment. "I'm going to knock you block off you f.u.c.kin…mmph"

Rogue started cussing up a storm as she flew into the air, completely blind to where she was going. While she couldn't hurt the Blob, she still had enough strength to pick him up off the ground. But with both of the X-men dealing with their own fights there was no one left to help Iron man.

The armour showed cracks already and sparks were going everywhere. Kimura seemed oblivious to the other groups and had instead focused back in on Laura. Sprinting forwards the two started trading blows using all the moves and styles of martial arts they knew.

Though Laura had speed and agility that trumped Kimura none of her blows could harm her. She was laughing like a madman as blow after blow impacted her body and did nothing. Kimura was trying to pull her close and put her into a grapple again, while Laura had to dodge each attempt.

"Sir, there seems to be a magnetic field emanating from the enemies body, it has constricted around the suit and will crush us if something isn't done soon." Tony mind worked a mile a minute as he hoped the rest of the team got there soon. He was starting to have trouble breathing.

Going off the information that Jarvis just provided, if he were able to produce an EMP, he could disrupt the magnetic field being produced. "Jarvis, is there enough power too…" Tony trailed off as his mind struggled for oxygen, in a few more seconds he would be dead.

He couldn't even reach for his neck in a desperate attempt to relieve the constriction of his suit. Just as everything started to turn black, a blue and red blur flew by aimed right at Magneto! *Crash* None of the Brotherhood could react before it slammed into the helmet and knocked back their leader.

His body tumbled to the ground for a second as his head rung in pain. The blue and red blur bounced off the helmet straight for Tony's suit, cracking the visor of the suit open and letting air rush into his lung! *Hup* Tony sucked in gulps of air as he spluttered on the ground; he was able to move, albeit slowly in his wrecked armour.

*Whizz* *Bzzt* At the same time over with Nightcrawler and Toad, an electric arrow appeared from nowhere and stuck onto Toad's body electrocuting him and knocking him out cold. Nightcrawler caught his breath as he turned to the archer he could just see, standing at a vantage point of the situation.

After striking Tony's visor, Captain Americas shield flew back to his arm as he surveyed the situation. A frown was on his lips as he starred warily at the Brotherhood. "Nobody move!" He shouted out in a commanding voice, making sure his shield was at the ready as Natasha stepped up next to him guns at the ready, trained on Mystique and Pyro, who had a small fireball already in his hand.

Blink stayed near Mystique as Avalanche and Pyro stepped forwards to face the Avengers. Magneto stood slowly, gaining his bearings from the blow and registering the shield that was in front of him. His face stilled for a second as he looked at the shield before him, the one that knocked him down.

He was a survivor of the holocaust, a Jew in world war two. One of the reasons he was a survivor and could still live to this day was because of the red and blue shield before him. His hands gripped slowly as he thought of what to do next.

"I don't think so!" While Magneto retreated into his thoughts looking at Captain America, Avalanche got to work. He reached down to the ground and a mini earth quake came out rocking the area. Buildings shook and even a few cars turned over.

Some of the buildings that had already been destroyed beforehand spurted more rubble onto the street. It looked like a war had taken place on the street with everything all over the place. Though not expecting the sudden shift in movement, Natasha and Steve quickly kept their balance, dodging the falling rubble and mayhem.

As they were dodging, Natasha just caught sight of a flash of red, as it streaked her way. Feeling the heat as it encroached on her, she dodged out of the way as a stream of fire flew overhead, trying to take her head off. She rolled out of the way and hid behind a turned over car as she looked for a good opportunity to take out Pyro, clearly they weren't going to surrender or come quietly.

Steve raised his shield in defense of the flame and that's what distracted him from the small portal that opened up behind him. Sabretooth stepped out of the portal Blink set up and lunged at the surprised Captain.

*Argh* Claws got past his defenses and dug into his side as he was knocked to the ground. His shield came out of his hand as he flipped quickly to knock Sabretooth off him. He wasn't expecting so much resistance though as Sabretooth held his own against his super human strength.

Natasha raised her weapons when she saw Steve was in trouble, quickly aiming them and pulling the trigger. *Bang* *Bang* A few bullets lodged themselves into Sabretooth's side as he roared in pain. This gave Steve enough time to kick him off.

Steve quickly rolled to his shield and picked it up just in time to block another blast from Pyro. Just as Natasha was aiming to gun him down the two weapons in her hand were snatched by an invisible force and shot into magneto's hand as he crushed both weapons in seconds. *Puff* Natasha was shocked for a second as Nightcrawler appeared next to her. "Need a lift Fraulein." Natasha instincts kicked in though, quickly flipping him to the ground her Widows Bites charging up to keep him down.

Steve jumped to the side as he dodged a swipe from Sabretooth who was pissed off. As he prepared to throw his shield to knock him back a new person joined the fight. *Rargh!!!* With a loud roar, the human projectile slammed into Sabretooth his claws out and glistening.

Sabretooth just had enough time to turn and meet those claws deflecting the deadly attack from Wolverine! With him a whole new group of people entered the area.

The X-men!
