Evaluation... (Ridley/Alexis/Open)

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Faith was told by Hank to go to the danger room. He said that there was someone waiting for her, and it was also a part of her evaluation of acceptance into the school. So she wasn‘t going to disappoint them. Hank had said that he had granted her permission to access the basement and danger room for this assignment.

As she walked toward the room, she prepared herself for an attack. She walked up to the reinforced door, and gave the command that Hank had given her to access the training room. She heard the whoosh of the door opening, and stepped inside. She extended her claws, and stood there with her back against the door waiting. ”Professor Hank had sent me. He said someone was waiting for me and that this was also a part of my evaluation…” She announce, and whipped her head around as she heard a noise off to the side.

The room was dark, but she could see perfectly. The room had taken on the appearance of a tropical jungle, and Faith smiled. She loved the outdoor training, as she was able to move faster and more easily. She could easily hear whoever it was get closer, and she crouched into a defensive position. Show time…

Onyx walked toward the Danger room, and her heart was racing. She was nervous of all emotions about her evaluations, and hoped she passed. She didn't want to mess up on this, or accidently blast the whole place apart. She knew this was a test and she should try her best, but she didn't fully understand her power and didn't want to hurt herself, or others.

Onyx walked to the door, and it opened for her. She walked in and it slammed behind her causing her to look back. She walked further into the room and realized she was in a beautiful jungle.

"Incredible......"

She managed to say as she looked around the room in complete shock. As Onyx walked, her slim boots made no sound of the ground, and her hair bounced slightly. She then grabbed two parts of her cloak and took flight. As she soared high into the sky, her cloak whipped and snapped in the wind. Onyx looked down at a girl standing in a crouched position, with long, shiny claws. Onyx soared over the girl, and landed slowly, and smiled.

"Hello, I'm assuming your here for the evaluation"

[ridleyaran]

Ridley certainly had become bored, especially since he had decided that this time he would show up prior to everyone else. A decision, he was now regretting. Of course, this evaluation was nothing to him. The years he had spent on the streets and in the mansion had allowed him to fine tune and gain a massive amount of control over his abilities. Yet, while Ridley denied it daily, the truth was that he still had quite a bit to learn and was too cocky with his own mutant gifts. Something that many people knew him for, the cocky low brow attitude that had gotten him bruised and beaten many times before. Yet, here he was with younger students and members of the institute...being Evaluated, as he waited in the holographic jungle. The jungle that felt, smelt and looked real...but beyond a mental trick, was fake. Still though, no matter how many times you trained in this room, it never got easier to keep in mind that it was fake.

The voice echoed through the moist leaves and bristling treetops of the Jungle. Someone was here, and then the second voice accounted for a second body. Ridley knew they were here, but didn't know exactly who it was. Of course, a sound strategy would have been to attack from the foliage, use guerrilla tactics and remain unseen...but that wasn't Ridley's style in any sense of the word. He was more of an up close and personal kind of guy, keep it human and not sneaky. Though stealth was an option when it was needed, these kids wouldn't be a problem.

His steps forward having him walk from out of the jungle line into the small clearing the other two had found themselves in, in this technological mirage. Brown hues tracing each of their forms up and down, taking in features and stances. One girl seemed aggressive, the other a bit hesitant...and while a book couldn't be judged by it's cover, Ridley assumed to know everything about Moby Dick from the picture of the white whale.

"So you two are who I'm going to be evaluating....or who's going to be evaluating me?" His voice unsure and a bit wavering, not completely understanding of the plan for this meeting. Either way, Ridley's small leadership role in the mansion made him take charge right off the bat...whether he wasn't or not. "You two are going to be training with me...and I don't play by conventional rules. You two, will learn the most basic rules of the old saying....'The enemy of my enemy, is my friend.'" Ridley stated bluntly, no energy or anything on his form showing he was aggressive at the moment, arms crossed at his chest.

Faith was crouched with her claws out, ready for an attack. However, she was a bit surprised, even if she didn‘t show it, to detect not one person but two. Her senses where so heightened that she was able to pick up someone within twenty feet of her position in all directions. It wasn‘t long before she was greeted by another genetic mutant like her. She could still smell the stink of the government all over them as they approached her. It was a female, and seem to have the power of flight.

”Hello, I‘m assuming you’re here for the evaluation“

She only nodded her head as her nose kept sniffing the air. She could smell someone else approach, and this person didn‘t have the government stench that all genetic mutants like herself had all over them. So this one was a natural like Logan and Cally. This should be a piece of cake. She has yet to meet a mutant who came into their powers naturally that she couldn‘t defeat. The perfect assassin that she was, wouldn‘t allow her to accept defeat…period.

"So you two are who I'm going to be evaluating....or who's going to be evaluating me? ... You two are going to be training with me...and I don't play by conventional rules. You two, will learn the most basic rules of the old saying....'The enemy of my enemy, is my friend.'"

Faith didn‘t even get up from her defensive crouched position, always prepared for an attack… She pointed one set of her claws up to the nearest wall where a camera could be seen. It wasn‘t very noticeable, but with her training she noticed it right away. ”We all are being observed from afar. So I believe that this is a test of what our power limits are…” She replied to the guy‘s first statement. She then smirked when she heard him continue about rules. ”Oh please. I‘m government trained, and their punishments are worse than parental abuse. I‘ve seen, heard, and did it all. So there is nothing that you can teach me that I haven‘t learned already.” She answered as she involuntarily sniffed the air. ’So no one is scared yet… This is going to be easier than my first target.’ She thought to herself and then looked between the other two occupants of the danger room. ”So shall we begin?” She asked them with a smirk before darting off into the holographic jungle.

“Speaking…”
‘Thinking…’
”Other person talking…”

”Oh please. I‘m government trained, and their punishments are worse than parental abuse. I‘ve seen, heard, and did it all. So there is nothing that you can teach me that I haven‘t learned already.”

"She aint kiddin"

Onyx stated as she looked to the man and smiled. She was ready for any test they could throw at her, and loved a challenge. She then glided behind the girl keeping up with her and spotting something huge out the corner of her eye.

"Ummmmm guys......."

Was all she could manage to say at the giant robot blasted energy infront of her, knocking her through the forest. The energy blast expaned upon impact and left a giant scorch mark on the ground.

Quarx then stood up and frowned at the machine as it eye balled her.

*Mutant DNA detected destroy mutant life form*

"Save it pal!!"

She yelled as the machine blasted another energy blast, and she reached her hands at the machine. Her hands began to glow with sparkling silver energy, and a shield went up at the moment of impact from the machine. She had read about these, they were ummm Sentinels!!.

"Take it down, hard!!"

She yelled as she blasted a bolt of brillant silver energy at the machine, bursting a hole in it's leg. As she flew toward the machine, two more dropped out the sky, and she started to frown. Her cloak flapped in the wind as rose up, as she lifted her glowing hands into the air focusing on her Sentinel. A giant orb of energy formed over her head, and she "threw it" at the Sentinels core.

The Sentinel's core flew apart as it's metallic body began to moan, and croak. The machine then toppled, and fell into the trees. The impact caused dust, and trees to fly everywhere in the forest, and she flew into the air, her cloak covering her body.

[alexhowlett]

Logan is silently watching them from afar and smiles as he follows the girl with claws. Logan mumbled a "Heh she thinks its gonna be easy" as he kept following. Logan's claws came out with a slow and low Snikt! as he jumped behind her and landed so silently she couldn't hear....he then walked up close to her and was so close to her ear he said "Boo..." and jumped back ready for an attack...
"Well this looks like it might be fun." Logan said sliding back more to get enough distance between her claws and him. "What ya say?" Logan then crouched and waited for an attack sniffing the air to make sure there's no interruptions. Logan then focused his attention on the girl again.

[Faith Webster]

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Faith saw the Sentinels drop into the room from the ceiling, and she jumped without effort onto the ones that had gotten in her way. Her claws sliced through them like a hot knife through butter, and when she was finished she was surrounded by a large pile of metal. She sniffed the air and smelled a scent she had not come across since Salem Center. Logan was here, and thought he must have wanted to test her abilities himself. She heard him approach and his claws extend as well. She knew that if she didn‘t, she could have been dead in a real situation. One can thank their trusting government on that.

She swerved around just as he walked close to her. His face, more specifically his mouth was at her ear, and said boo. She scoffed when he jumped back his claws poised for an attack. She smirked back at him and took up her defensive crouch position. Her hearing didn‘t pick up any other fighting, and her smell didn‘t register anyone else nearby. ’So the other two must have failed their evaluations already.’ She thought to herself and let her smirk grow wider into an almost grin. She knew it was going to be easy as pie.

"Well this looks like it might be fun. ... What ya say?"

Faith watched as he copied her position, and she smirked some more. ”Payback for out maneuvering you in town a few weeks ago is it?” She asked as she knew that he didn‘t like someone to escape from him, especially when he thought they had answers. ”I say come and get me.” She finally replied. She then got to her feet and ran deeper into the holographic jungle. She zigzagged, doubled backed, crossed her own paths, basically she made it nearly impossible for him to follow her by her scent. Then she climbed up a tree and waited for him to appear below her.

“Speaking…”
‘Thinking…’
”Other person talking…”

As soon as she ran into the holographic forest so did Logan, he tried to follow her as well as he could but lost track of her and stopped a few feet from where she was, closed his eyes and focused on sounds, he picked up her heart beat and disappeared.

Logan then came climbing up the tree behind her poked her back "Miss me?' then he tackled her and pinned her to the ground. "No just testing out to see if you've gotten better." Then Logan got off and looked at her. "Come on show me what you got with those claws of yours. Then Logan ran towards he and slashed.

[Faith Webster]

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Faith watched him below her and smirked. She got on her hunches to jump down and surprise drop him, but paused when he took off. She closed her eyes and let her superhuman tracking do its job. She followed him all the way up the tree behind her, and turned just as he poked her back. ”I knew you were coming…” She told him when he asked if she missed him. Then out of nowhere, he tackled her, and attempted to pin her to the ground.

"No just testing out to see if you've gotten better. ... Come on show me what you got with those claws of yours."

She raised an eyebrow when he said he was seeing if she got better. ”You thought that simple acrobatic stunt was my best?! Ha! That isn‘t nothing.” She responded to him as he got off of her, and she quickly got to her own feet. In a crouched position of course. Then he demanded a show of her abilities, she raised an eyebrow and smirked. She watched as he charged at her, and just as he slashed she easily sidestepped his claws. His attacking hand was now past the right side of her face, and her right hand punched him right in the gut. Claws and all.

He did tell Faith that he wanted to see what she could do. And that she did. She also knew she wouldn‘t permanently hurt him as he had the same healing factor as her. However, her other hand did not stay stationary either. As he was distracted by the stab slash blow to his gut, her other hand came around and poised at his neck to where she could easily slice his head off if she wished to do so. ”I‘m still not warmed either. We can go at it all day. But why the sudden need to know what I can do? Didn‘t you read the file I gave you in town?” She asked purely to gather information, nothing else.

“Speaking…”
‘Thinking…’
”Other person talking…”

As she punched Logan in the gut, claws and all he was suprised he missed. "heh...im getting slow..." but...when she poised her hand at Logan's neck he quickly dropped to the ground pushed backward and stands up behind her with claws to her neck.

"Didn't you read that file i gave you..."

"No...I forgot i even had it." Logan said as he sliced down her back cutting a little of the clothes and clothes and leaving some cuts then he jumped back and looked at her. "So, just say when you want me to try." He said with a smirk and he kicked her back into a wall leaped at her and stabbed claws in her shoulders pinning to the wall. "or do you want me to stop"

[Faith Webster]

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Faith was not at all surprised that he dropped to the ground and went easily out of her attack. She felt his claws against her own neck and smirked. So he had used her own trick against her. She felt his hand move, and she jump forward away from his claws but he managed to only slice her clothes and barely scratch her skin. However the kick to her back was a bit unexpected. She spun around to face him just as he pinned her to the wall with his claws through her shoulders. She held any sign of pain it had caused her well, and instead laughed at him. Training, all thanks to her training.

"So, just say when you want me to try. ... or do you want me to stop"

Her response was to laugh again. Now it was her turn. She poised her claws to her sides and thrust them into the soft skin under his arms. ”I don‘t give up easily. If you want someone to thank, look in a mirror.” She told him and roared. She then charged full steam ahead, causing him to back up and away from the wall. Then after a few feet away, she picked up her foot, and gave him a good hard shove causing him to go backward without her.

Faith then tilted her head from side to side, causing her bones in her neck to crack. Her shoulders healed almost as soon as his claws left her shoulders. She then growled and roar again, and started to charge him. She was ready to counter any defense moves he may throw at her.

“Speaking…”

Logan didnt expect what she said and he didnt expect the kick either, then he finally hit the ground after a few seconds and sat up holding his head. "ow...didnt expect that..." Logan stood up watched he coming and did something she didnt expect let her hit him. Logan looked at her and said "I've got to admit you have gotten better." Then logan messed up her hair through her off and did a backflip and got into crouching attack position.

"heh, i guess you do take after me...but oh well." then he ran at her and hit in the stomach and forearm with the claws, took them out and slid under her, kicked knees and jumped up, slammed her and watched her." and i thought i was getting slow."

[Faith Webster]

Faith stood there watching his every move. So he was testing her, but she wasn‘t quite done just yet. She even didn‘t let the roughing of her hair phase her in the lease, and even him telling her that she had gotten better… Well, she hasn‘t even gotten started. She watched as he did a black flip and then crouched into an attack position. She cocked her head to one side again as he made another wisecrack.

"heh, i guess you do take after me...but oh well."

She sighed when he charged and attempted to jump out of his way via a back flip onto a nearby tree, but either he had gained speed or she had lost some as he hit her in the stomach and stabbed her forearms with his claws. Well of course they hurt like a mother****er, but she wasn‘t just about to let him know that. Then he got under her, kicked her, got behind her, jumped back to his feet, and slammed her before watching her. She stumbled a few feet, blood slowly dripping from her forearms but her wounds where healing nicely. She now knew better to use herself as a wrecking ball again. She took too long to heal, and that is dangerous for her.

Faith turned to face him and started to charge. However just as she seemed to strike him, she performed a back flip and boasted herself into the air spinning like a trapeze artist using the trapeze in mid act. She landed in a crouch position behind him and was just about ready to attack when the unmistakable sound of the door opening to the room reached her ears. ”We have company.” She told him and sniffed the air. ”Students needing the room for training.” She added as she detected the scent of the school all over them, just underneath the scent of their blood and, well just their blood.

“Speaking…”
‘Thinking…’
”Other person talking…”

Logan watched her admiring her every move, thinking just how amazing it looked, then he saw her get ready to attack when the doors came open. Logan smirked and said "Some other time than we'll finish this right?" then his claws slid into his hand and he looked at her. "You were fantastic alot better than i was when i was your age for sure. i mean...if you just keep doing what your doing youll be on your way to being the top mutant if thats what you wanna say.

Logan looked at the students then sighed as he said "Time to go, ill get you some other time." He said smiling, it was good doing that with you again, and ill look over that file you gave my last time we met alright?" After she responded Logan left.
