Kari stepped up to the podium. The entire concert hall had been set up for this event. Though it would have been more comfortable terms were she simply able to perform as she usually did. But now this time it was different. It was time to truly take her role as leader by the reigns and stand up for her kind. All around her could be heard the furious cries of the angry people all speaking out against mutants. She knew that when it came to a fight that matching her power would be hard, and that very few could reach such a height. But when faced with all these people proclaiming their disgust for mutants she felt truly small, and powerless. Sure enough the one man she expected to see here was already warming up the crowd: Senator Kelly.
"What are they planning now, how will we know it's safe to go outside when there are walking time bombs ticking along our streets at every moment of every day? They should all be contained!" Senator Kelly voiced with enthusiasm. He then turned to see Keri approach and began the inevitable assault. "Are you lost? I'm sure a celebrity like yourself hasn't come to represent the mutants..."
"Actually Mr. Kelly, I have come to represent mutant kind. There's nothing wrong with that. Yes, I know there are mutants who think that their powers make them better. Some that use this as justification for their crimes. But not all of them want to hurt people, most just want to try as best they can to live normal lives. Something that will be impossible with the movements this man is proposing."
"Just what this world needs another mutant lover to sympathise with them. Besides Ms. Yimara your presence here is neither needed nor welcome you should stick to concerts not pollitical matter that don't concern you. Besides I expected Professor Charles Xavier to head the defense of his own kind. But it looks like he couldn't take the heat and hired a celebrity to do his work for him." Senator Kelly continued mocking as he usually did that was how his politics worked the best way he could win was to make the opponent look weak.

Logan barely held back a sudden urge to fillet the senator. He held a deep respect and gratitude to Xavier for his kindness and patience. However, Logan was no politician and remained backstage unless he was needed. No need to scare the crowd and make things worse.

"Who are you to even represent the mutants?-" He asked before being cut off.
"That's quite simple. I am, Night Angel." Kari said allowing her skin to turn blue. Her tallons slowly extended and her wings unfurled behind her before the adomantium reservoirs inside them coated the feathers. "Xavier is dead, along with two other fellow X-Men, Jean Grey, and my very own brother Sakatoma Yimara." Kari struggled to continue and fight back the tears welling up in her eyes. She knew that if they saw her cry that they would eat her alive.
"You see what I mean? This is exactly what I'm talking about we never know who we can trust. But all that's about to change with the Sentinel program. Observe..." He spoke pressing a button on a small tracking remote he had. One of the metal beheamoths arrived in less than a minute and began scanning.
-Mutant detected, threat level: Very High- -deliberating best course of action- The souless machine voiced in monotone.
"Don't worry people the weapons have been disabled for the safe demonstration of this advanced defender of humanity." Kelly said with a high level of confidence.
-Weapon systems disabled- -Current situation dire- -Activating weaponry to engage target- The machine continued the crowd was now absolutely silent.
"You better control your toy Kelly." Kari said shortly keeping her calm every second that passed only made the air more tense.
Kelly flipped open his phone."Trask what's going on? Why is the sentinel prepairing to attack, we need the support of these people. We can't afford to lose this." He said before hanging up not even bothering to wait for a response.
-Deliberating course of action- -Neutralize-
Kari's eyes widened as she saw a beam of light fire from the sentinels mouthburning into her flesh and the stage beneath.
At this point the concert hall was frantically emptying with people scrambling to get away from the malfunctioning robot.

Logan was already in action the second the machine spoke. He hoped that Kari was alright or there was going to be human blood spilled, specifically that of Kelly and this Trask character.
He snuck around behind the Sentinel and leapt onto the machine's back, slashing at it with his claws to get at the vital circuits underneath.
"Hurry up and get out of here folks, unless you want tall, dark, and deadly here to register your ignorant asses as mutants and vaporize you!"

Kari groaned in the rubble under the stage. She stood up and floated into the air. ''That hurt...'' She complained in a very disgruntled voice as her face slowly regenerated the burned away flesh. Her fists sparked sending moon bolts at the sentinel. Sadly moonlight power was more effective against flesh.
-Main target airborn- -Fire Missle- The sentinel girated trying to shake Wolverine off it's body.
''God damnit these things are well equiped.'' Kari said taking evasive action sure she could survive a missle hit but none the less something like that way painful and could leave her imobile for a while. The thought crossed her mind to destroy the missle but no that would cause colateral damage.

Realizing that the Sentinel was about to fire a missile, Wolverine tore a statue off the upper balcony as he was swung past it. Timing his moves just right, he jammed the statue into the tube of the missile launcher and dove off, scrambling for cover...

-Unit integrity compromised- -Self destruct sequence initiated- Kari's eyes widened as she looked back at the sentinel. Now it seemed as though the sentinel would be sending itself to pieces everywhere. If only there was some way to contain the explosion, but how? She thought for a moment before a small frown grew upon her face.
There was no choice her dark matter powers could do it. Then there was always the risk in the back of her mind. Her power could take over her body. But she hadn't used it in a long time, perhaps she could use it just this once and ween herself off of it again. "It's a chance I have to take, otherwise people will be hurt." She said softly to herself. Kari had no intention of letting that happen.
Kari stretched out her hand and the dark power began to swirl around it growing and growing. It looked as though it were a black vortex of swirling negative energy. Suddenly it shot forward at the sentinel just as it exploded barely managing to consume the explosion. But to say the least it was enough to prevent any more destruction. Kari clenched her fist collapsing the vortex on itself, for now the threat was over.

Logan stood and studied the wrecked Sentinel. "Hope that was the only one" he said, "I don't know if we could fight off an army of these things."

"That we could destroy them I have no doubt. The kind of power it'd force me to use is what I don't like. There's a reason that this is the first time in one hundred years I've used that power." Kari said lowering herself from the air to what little wreckage remained of the sentinel. To say the least no one was seriously hurt.
"I just wish that by this we would have somehow accomplished something. Knowing Senator Kelly he'll just blame the overide of security measures on us." Kari pulled the claws and wings back inside her flesh reverting back to human form. "If he gets funding for something like this it'll be a disaster people will be dragged from their own homes, and kidnapped off the street in broad daylight and nobody will be able to do anything about this."

"That bastard will get what's comin' to him" Logan replied, "bad karma always comes back to bite you in the ass."

If only Logan knew just how accurate his statement was perhaps he wouldn't have said it. Just then Arcanistrix and Arsenal arrived on the scene stopping the Senator from making his hastey escape. "Oh were do you think you're going Senator?" Shandria said firing two arrows from a perch above him. Both missing but only barely and also just to get the point across.
"You've really lost some big votes tonight." Natty followed up grabbing a pole and turning it into a dagger. "You'll want to come quietly with us."

"Yeah, take a breather, stay a while" Logan replied, unsheathing his claws.

"Besides, I thought you liked us." Sukie said in sarcastically sweet voice.

"Leave me be, all of you! I'll have every last one of you locked away in a maximum security prison. I'm warnning you."
"Don't make stupid threats like that. They'll get you killed, besides you probably couldn't hold any of us." Kari said walking up to the senator she wanted him to answer to the carnage he caused.
"I swear it none of you will ever see the light of day if you harm me." The senator tried to reason however he was dealing with two X-Men, and three Amazons. The odds were stacked heavily against him, any one of these mutants could easily end his life at this very moment.
"Oh and I suppose you'll just let us go if we let you live, yeah right. Two weeks and you'll have those things dragging us away to some remote island. You buy this Arcanistrix?"
"Not if he's selling it Arsenal. Anyway Circe, you're up. Turn him into something that fits his personality. Otherwise he might get too stressed out being an animal."

Circe just smirked as she walked up to the Senator. "Hmm, I think your right Arcanistrix, he'd make a really nice boar."
