Heroes Uprising pt 8.

Sandra: Really now.

*Sandra looks pissed off at them.*

Sandra: I may not be the dark phoenix any more, but your getting your asses kicked none the less.

...........................................

Menace: Lets just say, you managed to slip away.

........................................

*Troy and Katy are standing along side each other.*

Troy: I'm glad you alright, you know that right.
Katy: Just shut up and give me a kiss will you, why do you always have to linger?
Troy: *smirk* It's who I am.

*Troy and Katy embrace and kiss each other.*

*Milo manages to smile, and they both vanish appearing in the SXM library, empty of course*
Milo:Marie, we've only been allies/ friends whatever for about a week or so, but... why did you risk your life to save someone and defend someone you barely knew. You could have died fighting Iliria.....
*Turns to face her*

.............
*Nate stares down at Sandra*
Nate:We have to think about the safety of the planet. There are billions, no trillions, even more living on this planet. Our job is to maintain peace, and keep the mutant rights bill active
*Pauses*
Nate:Friendship, and relationships are important, but preserving the human race rains supreme over such bonds.

James: I know we did something terrible...and we would totally understand if you never wanted to see us again...you have nothing to tie you to this place anymore...except the fact that you've been friends for a long time...then again, we betrayed that. Can you hand her over? I'll restore her to normal...she's without a soul though, so she can't feel emotions...

----

Manny: You sure? If you captured us now, and with the new mutant right bill...the navy would take you back...

----

"Marie starts to blush"

Marie: Well I...I just...I well...you know what, f off Milo Ventro! You can read my mind so you know why! You just want to make me say it!

"Marie pauses, and starts to smile"

Marie: But, it was more than that...Harry told me you used to be different...maybe I wanted you to be like that again, because it sounded like you were...like me. Stupid family...awful life...but still managed to be happy...and I think that I didn't want to leave you was you were, because that'd be admitting that could happen to me

Nate:Yes, Sandra. Although I support the actions we took,since you gained control of your emotions I do feel horrible, I don't know if this is something the old Milo would do. I miss him, a kind of guy who was kind and caring. He always knew what to do, he'd cheer us on know matter what, and he never gave up on someone
*Looks down*
Nate:If we still had him, we could of solved this problem the right way....
.....................
*Milo chuckles*
Milo:I find mind reading in the wrong situations to be an invasion of privacy, Verbal conversations can be much more interesting

*Listens to her*

Milo: I see, it all makes sense. Your the person, everyone misses. Such a bright personality, someone who gets up from anything. I lost everything, my father, my mother's vanished, and then I hurt my own friends thanks to Madara. I also lost some other important people . I just didn't want to grow close to others, just to push them away. I've seen things though, attachments to others have made others. I thought emotions made others weak, but I was wrong. You've shown that to me,and I wanted tonthank you...

*Sandra lays the body down.*

Sandra: So instead of making a clone Dave to try to calm me down, you thought it'd be better if you tried to kill me! I'm very disappointed in you guys. If Milo needs me, tell him to send a telepathic signal. I gotta get our here to cool off for a while.

*Sandra activates phoenix and takes off before she ends up beating up somebody. Luke approaches them.*

Luke: Way to go, you've pissed off the phoenix. If she ever go dark phoenix again she'll probably kill your asses. ...Wait, no, that's not funny.

...........................................................

Menace: I'll catch you later.

Manny: See ya Menace...hope we can tackle again. You know where to find me

"The see Sandra flying off"

Manny: Looks like she's leaving
Henry: How do you know?
Manny: I dunno...I just do. That girl...I feel attached to her somehow
Shadow: Looks like someone's in

"Shadow ends up smashes into a wall"

Manny: It's not that...I just...feel connected to her...don't ask me why

"Anna walks up to the group with Alisa behind"

Anna: Hey...I have a question...for the frenchy
Henry: Sorry cheri...not available...
Anna: No not that...can you charge things with your mind
Henry: What? No, I can only do it with physical contact...why?
Anna: I see...because I started with the same power as you...but mine evolved. You're older than me...so you should be stronger...why aren't you?
Henry: I have no idea cheri...

----

"Yamairo is seen sitting alone on top a roof. He's joined by me"

Me: Hey Yama...how's it going?
Yama: Where's the others?
Me: Around...dealing
Yama: Where's Rachel?
Me: Downstairs...I told her I'd be down...you alright? They've...told Me...Elle and Ezekiel...
Yama: yeah...don't worry about i
Me: I still remember that day you picked me up at the hospital...and when we meet her...
Yamairo: You told me not to do it...not to tell her to take revenge...if I had listened...
Me: No...the reason she always trusted you was because you said it. You told her what she needed to her, and from then on out she placed her trust in you all the way...

---

James: I hope she's alright...

"James changes Erica back"

Erica: What...happened
James: Come on...I'll explain. her through telepathy is bad...she's going to be down as it is

----

Marie: You want to thank me?

"Marie uses her powers to make Milo get close"

Marie: prove it!

Nate:Sandra will be fine, Dave's body is burned up, the fire's still burning. We can host his funeral, since we can't revive him with Ledge's blood.
*Sighs*
Nate:He was a good person, and also Milo has Shawkun's ability, we can get Erica back her soul. I don't feel like ruining the life of another innocent girl.

....................
Milo:Yes, that's why I brought you here. You showed me something I'd been missing emotions. The Will of Fire, or whatever you want to call it...
*Once he gets close, he wraps his arms around her *
Milo:I can do that
*Smiles and kisses Marie*

*Sandra arrives some distance away from the SXM, in the middle of a forest where there is a open grassy field.*

Sandra: Great... on top of everything else Nate and James... I can't believe they'd do that. I always thought that'd be the last possible thing they'd try to do. Dave... I wish you was still alive... my life is never gonna be the same without you.

*She sits down, then lies back on the grass.*

......................................

*Meanwhile Abigail finds James and Nate.*

Abigail: Hey guys, is Sandra around?

James: Indeed...but we can't be sure she'll regain her emotions like that. I feel this experience might traumatize her. For one, she can have a mental breakdown, for another she wont feel anything...

"Erica had already went ahead, and calls out to James. he follows"

William: Abie! No...she left...she's pretty mad at us

"Explains the situation

----

"Erica and James are in adjacent room"

Erica: So? I feel...weird...empty...
James: You were dead. You were killed by Zulan
Erica: I remember that
James: We brought you back because we needed your help...but we couldn't bring back your soul
Erica: I see. So, what are my options?
James: We can get it back, but it could lead to a mental collapse from the strain of the pain
Erica: And could you fix it? I seem to recall you being a telepath
James: I've become really good with my power, but I doubt I could
Erica: I see. Then I prefer not to risk it
James: What?
Erica: At least I'll be able to do something. I feel empty, but I still remember what I wanted to do. To make a difference. I'll remain like this, if you don't mind

"Fawkes is invisible in the room, not sensed by James because of his X-Factor mental block"

Fawkes: So, you want to make a difference heh?

(I really hate Shawkun now. It'd be epic to find some sort of loophole to leave Erica like that, unique. Also, Erica can join X-force)

----

Me: Alright, I'll be going Yama
Yamairo: They should be having Dave's funeral tomorrow. Namini already went to get Shari to stop the flames of Amaterasu. She says it's unlikely we can bring him back....he's to damaged. Plus, she says she wont allow it, as she promised Samuel. But we can at least bury him. I'd...
Me: No worries. I'm sure they'll let Isabel be buried in the Genosha cemetery...

(Let's skip to the next day)

*Abigail is surprised herself by what William tells her.*

Abigail: Ooh... poor Sandra. She just lost the man that meant everything in the world to her... now she's not even sure if she can trust her friends... I... hope she can see you was only doing what you thought you had to do... still, this won't be something she'll get over anytime soon.

....................................................

Sandra: So what do I do now...

*Closes her eyes as tears can be seen. We see she's thinking back about Dave.*

(Fine.)

(can Sandra take up Manny's offer?)

Manny: Well...I've had fun with you guys, but me and the boys hafta go "whisper" before Jean gets the munchies
Henry: If you need us my friends, you know were to find us non?
Anna: Wait...what about...you're an Akatsuki right?
Manny: No such thing. I joined them because they seemed like a fun group and was a chance for some exercise...I never intended them to kill anyone. When Dave got killed, I decided to take them down...ended up not being necessary
Anna: Then wouldn't your reason be whim...for war I mean
Manny: Nah...because I fight to preserve who I am...and I'm a pirate lass...lets go

"The pirates head back to their ship"

(let's skip then)

(Hmm yeah, how about if Manny finds Sandra and makes her the offer again.)

(where is she? Is she out of Genosha? It'd have to be somewhere he could find her on the way back to the Caribbean

Also, I though I'd clear up something important. The Original Genosha was north of Madagascar. The new one is not, at least I don't think it is. I always picture it more at the Easter coast of the USA

(She is outside Genosha, just let him have a random run in. As the pass over a forest, he notices a girl lied back in a open field in the middle of said forest and realizes it's Sandra.)

(he's going by boat...he can fly, but prefers boat...he's a pirate me lad!!)

(Good point. Maybe I will have Sandra come and find him then.)

*The next day things are starting to get back to normal. We check in with Abigail who is sitting alone while on her break. She seems to be caught up in thought when Sandra shows up beside her.*

Abigail: Sandra! Your back!!

*Abigail hugs her.*

Sandra: Abi... there is something I have to tell you, well I'm going to tell everybody, but you need to be the first to know.

*Break time soon comes to an end and Troy, Tanya, Shin, and Katy all gather around.*

Tanya: Hey... what's taking Abigail?

*Suddenly they hear a telepathic message that was sent out to all the SXM by Sandra. A short while after all the SXM gather around the area they was asked to come. There they see Sandra and Abigail, Abigail is broke out into tears.*

Yamairo: Sandra... what's this all about?
Sandra: I spent the night alone... and put a lot of thought into this. And I've decided that, at least for now, I'm leaving you.
Abigail: *tears* Sandra...
Sandra: I'm sorry to say this, but this place... Dave died here... I just can't stay here, not yet anyway. Then there is what Nate, James, and William done. My very own friends betrayed my trust and tried to kill me. I just... can't forgive that in a day, I'm unsure if I'll ever be able to completely forgive that.

*Some members looks shocked, others look sad about the news they are hearing.*

Sandra: I'm sorry to you all, but... I just can't stay here.

*Yamairo steps forward, laying a hand on Sandra's shoulder.*

Yamairo: If this is something you feel you have to do, we won't stop you.
Sandra: *weak smile* Thanks Yamairo, maybe someday I'll be able to come back.
Yamairo: I'd like that. There will always be a place here for you Sandra, encase you decide to return.
Sandra: Thank you.
Yamairo: Before you go, we are having a funeral for Dave if you want to stick around.
Sandra: Thanks but, I really don't think I'd be able to handle a funeral to tell you the truth, I will however come back to visit Dave's grave and give my final farewell.
Yamairo: I understand..
Abigail: Sandra... I can't believe your leaving. First Dave, now you... *cry's as she hugs Sandra*
Sandra: I'm... I'm sorry Abigail, but I have to. Yama, Milo, take good care of Abi will you, don't let anything happen to her, please.
Yamairo: You have our word.

*Sandra kindly ask Abi to step back with the group, after a few seconds she does so.*

Sandra: Well, I guess this is it then. If you guys need me, you can send out a telepathic signal and I'll be willing to help. But, I can't stay here, sorry. Goodbye... friends.

*With that Sandra activates phoenix and leaves.*

Abigail: *tears* Sandra!! *falls to her knees crying*. She... she's gone...

*Katy kneels down by her.*

Katy: I know it's hard, but this is something Sandra just has to do.

Milo:Don't worry Abi,
*Looks down and over to Marie briefly*
Milo:She'll be back one day. If you need a place to stay just check out my mom's island she's been gone, and I'm going to find her
*looks up in the sky*
Milo: We'll meet at the Graveyard for the funeral service later, no one bother Sandra during her final moments on earth please

*The group disperses, and Dave's ashes are even gone thanks to the amatesuro, the remaining evidence is put in a Jar and being buried about three hours later during the funeral service,were tears are being shed*

(I think you mistook the post a little Chu. Sandra's not leaving the planet, she's just leaving the SXM. She'll remain on Earth, that's why she said that if they ever needs her help, to send out a telepathic message and she'll come. If Sandra was to leave Earth, especially now where she can open star-gate portals and literally travel anywhere in the universe, there'd be no way contacting reaching her.)

Katy: He was a good friend...
Troy: We started as enemy's, now I only wish we could bring him back.
Abigail: *sob* Dave... you turned out to be a father figure to me... I-I'm gonna miss you.

*The hours pass, and everybody say's there final farewells. It's evening time before everybody has left, the sun is just setting behind the mountains, giving a orange glow. It's now Sandra shows up at Dave's grave.*

Sandra: *tears* Well Dave, looks like our time together has ended... we've had some great times though did we... Dave... I'll miss you. For you... I'll try my best to keep my emotions in order and prevent the dark phoenix from rising again. Farewell... my love.

*Sandra places a rose at Dave's grave and stands up, trying not to cry but failing miserably at it.*

Sandra: Farewell.

*With that Sandra leaves the SXM ground again.*

(Oh okay)

*Milo sighs reading some X Men comics, and smiling at Stan Lee's work, and misses Sandra*
Milo:She was a good friend and so was Dave...

*A few hours later Sandra arrives on the deck of a ship.*

Sandra: *sigh* What is this connection I feel towards this man... I swear I could call him my brother if I didn't know any better.

*She remains outside until a door opens and Manny walks out to greet her.*

Manny: Sandra..?
Sandra: Is... is that offer you made still open?

*Manny can see the sadness in Sandra's eyes, and can't help but to comfort her.*

Manny: Strange, there's that feeling again... it's like for some reason, it hurts me to see the poor girl like this. Please, come. We'll get you some food and a place to stay.

*Milo continues reading seen Collosus and Wolverine doing the Fast-Ball Special to come save Emma*
Milo: I missed my comics.

(Lets assume this is the next day alright guys.)

*Tanya and Shin are doing some melee combat training. Despite his best efforts, Shin seems unable to hit Tanya. As Shin go's for a strike, Tanya parries it away, drops into a spin kick while making a spin around and trips Shin, causing him to fall on his back.

Shin: Damnit.
Tanya: Don't be to hard on yourself. I figured you would of forgotten how to properly since you've become sort of a bum here lately, but after the short amount of practice you've had, your not to bad.

*Tanya offers him her hand and helps him up.*

Shin: We use to be almost equals... *sigh*
Tanya: If you keep going at the rate your going, you'll catch up with me again. Just keep practicing.
Shin: *nod* Thanks. Say, where's the others?
Tanya: Abigail is still a bit bumed out about Sandra leaving, don't worry, she'll get over it though. Troy and Katy are off the island. There has been strange happening reported lately of people doing random things, things they usually wouldn't do. Some even suicide.
Shin: Strange. Could it be another mind control guy?
Tanya: Don't know. All they're doing anyway is just taking a look around, we don't have any leads, so they might not even find nothing either.

*Milo left to NYC, with Troy and Katy, bringing Ezekiel, Rail, and Elle*
Milo:Great we split up
Rail:Right
*Runs off phasing through walls, and Milo flies in the air, using super-vision to search for any weird behavior,*
