I waited with Erik, Beast and Ororo for the D'Bari to breach the train, all while Scott and Charles made their way to Jean's. "They are here," I announced, seeing them on the minimap, already on the train.

"Let's give them hell," Magneto grinned, blasting the train door open, killing one of the D'Bari while doing so.

[Arnka - D'Bari LV 40], [Romk - D'Bari LV 47], [Oprkio - D'Bari LV 39]

I eyed the D'Bari that entered the train and laughed, they were all weaker than me, I kinda expected them to be stronger, like Gvyn, he was thirty levels ahead of me.

"What's so funny?" Beast asked.

"Nothing," I chuckled as I drew my dagger from my inventory, rushing at the aliens ahead. With a grin, I ran towards the aliens charging my dagger with a focused strike, and using my telekinesis I pulled one towards me driving the power charged dagger into his skull, which caused his head to explode, killing him.

I then spun with my dagger in hand, cutting the two remaining aliens while dodging their attacks, and as they regenerated, I aimed at them with my hands and fired a couple of mana arrows blowing their heads off.

"I'll take the roof!" Ororo stated, flying onto the roof of the train through a hole Magneto had made.

"Hank, help her! Alex and I will take care of the bottom," Erik said with utmost confidence in our abilities.

Nodding, Hank jumped behind Ororo, leaving me and Erik alone, as more and more aliens entered the train. 

"I'll be honest with you, I didn't know there were that many," I said, counting the D'Bari, who numbered in the dozens.

"Soon, they'll be extinct," Erik grinned, levitating all the weapons of the soldiers he had knocked out with his magnetism, aiming them at the aliens.

"Okay... just don't shoot me," I muttered, looking at the guns hovering in the air.

"I won't…" Erik replied, but then added, "Maybe…" in a barely audible tone.

"I heard that!" I chuckled, blasting the aliens off the train with multiple mana bolts.

[Charles POV]

With the help of everyone, Scott and I reached Jean without any problems, but even then Jean was unresponsive laying on the table as the battle for her life raged on, whoever these Aliens were, they wanted Jean's power, they wanted her, and that didn't necessarily mean they wanted her alive.

"Scott, guard the door," I said, as I tried to reach into Jean's mind, once again proving futile, this cosmic force she had within her had made her stronger, and beyond power to reach, but what else could I do. "Jean… you need to wake up, we need you…" I begged, cursing my own weakness as I did so. "I know that what I did was wrong, and I deserve no forgiveness, but… you have to believe me, I was only trying to protect you…" by this point, I was forcing myself not to cry, I had hurt her, all of this… could've been avoided if only I cared for her as much as I did for my cause.

"MOTHER FUCKER!!!!" A scream followed by a blur of motion that was Alex being blasted into our cabin was more than enough to tell me our time was coming short.

"Alex?" Scott muttered, as Alex stood up.

"Blast… the… bitch!" Alex gasped, his torso bleeding. 

Without hesitation, Scott turned to where Alex had come from, and waited until a figure came out of the dust walking, the woman that had absorbed part of Jean's power.

Growling, Scott moved his hand to his visor, and blasted the woman, who simply continued walking, ignoring his attack. Behind me, Alex stood up, and from thin air summoned a red drink that shimmered under the moonlight, and without a pause,  started drinking it.

"Wake her up, or we all die!" Alex growled, going towards the door to help Scott.

Nodding, I turned to Jean, and kept trying to wake her up, I knew I could reach her, maybe not with my powers, but with my words, and feelings.

[3 MINUTES EARLIER - Alex POV]

It took us less than three minutes to kill every single D'Bari on the train, it was super easy, barely an inconvenience, most of them were level forty, I alone could've killed them all apparently, save for Vuk and Gvyn who were the exception to this level forty rule.

"That was super easy," I smiled.

"Barely an inconvenience," Erik nodded, "Though, I have still to see the blonde one you spoke of,"

"I… didn't you see her with Jean in the house?" I asked.

"Oh, you mean that woman, oh… ok, I thought you meant blonde blonde, not white haired," Potato potatoes, same shit.

"Well… when she comes, we'll face her together!" Ororo grinned, and as if on cue, a new red mark appeared on my minimap.

"She's here!" I announced, as everyone got into position.

With a thunderous landing on the roof, the white haired bitch, known as Vuk tore through the ceiling of the train with ease, as if it were made out of paper, and while staring at us she said "I don't want to kill you,"

Without giving her time to do anything, I shot six mana arrows at her, but to my sorrow, she didn't even flinch, on the contrary, she absorbed my attack, and redirected it towards me. "Fuck..." was all I could say before my own attack empowered by the phoenix's force threw me through the train's compartments like a rag doll.

"Ok… energy attacks are a no go," I muttered, drinking a HP potion, while Erik, Ororo and the rest attacked her. "Focused strike it is," I sighed, dashing towards her, but before I could reach her, she blasted me once again, this time with her telekinesis with enough strength to make me reach the professor and Scott. "MOTHER FUCKERRRRR!" I screamed, unable to slow my fall, even with my telekinesis.

Gasping in pain, I looked at Scott, and said, "Blast… the… bitch!" I hissed, summoning the last few pots I still had to heal my wounds… all this shit was getting out of control, to the point I wished I was dealing with Hydra instead, humans instead of this. At least I would get to see Scott being blasted by her, so that's a plus.
