The Power Within
Chapter -- 4 by JT Poole
// Underground //
"There's another one!" Firefox screams, flying towards Chance, being knocked down by a hound. "Get away from me!"
"We have to get out of this place." Chance says, landing next to Firefox. "I am ready to transport us all away."
"What do you mean all?" Firefox asks, erecting his force field up just in time.
"All of us. Sanctuary is no more." Chance says, holding his head down as a tear fell from his eye. "The few mutants that remain are ready to roll with us, everyone else escaped."
"You get those remaining out of here, I will get Nick, Justin and Josh." Firefox says, disappearing and then reappearing again with the three men. "Goodbye home."
"HALT MUTANTS"
`Daddy help me.' Firefox telepathically heard the voice of his son Dreamer.
"Xander where are you?" Firefox asks, looking around the room as Eclipse comes to. "Xander where are you?"
"Fox you okay?" Eclipse asks, standing up, walking over to where Firefox was standing. "I don't see anybody man."
"I heard Xander. He just spoke to me!" Firefox screams, accidentally knocking Eclipse across the room with his telekinetic powers. "Oh God, Nick I'm so sorry."
"It didn't hurt much." Eclipse says, standing up, brushing off his costume. "We have to get out of here. If that stomping sound is more sentinels then we are in trouble."
"Yes we are. When you guys were knocked out, three more appeared along with the hounds." Firefox says as TimberWolf awakens.
"What did I miss?' TimberWolf asks, getting up as he looks down to see Josh laying unconscious still. "Is he going to be okay?"
"He's still alive, but I can't get him to wake up." Firefox replies, telekinetically lifting Josh. "We have to get out of here and now. Brian has already removed the others from down here. All that's left is us."
`Daddy please help me.' Firefox telepathically hears Xander's voice again.
"Xander! Xander where are you?" Firefox asks as Eclipse and TimberWolf look at him strangely.
"Baby what's happening?" TimberWolf asks.
"He thinks he's hearing his son call him." Eclipse answers him.
"Well he is psychic, maybe he is." TimberWolf says, as there is a flash of light in the room and Firefox is gone.
"Aw hell naw!" TimberWolf shouts. "This isn't fucking funny! Where da hell did he go?"
"I don't think you should worry about him, you should worry about yourself!" A strange woman shouts, jumping towards TimberWolf, knocking him to the ground.
"Justin!" Eclipse screams as he starts to glow. "I don't know who the hell you are, but no one hits him and gets away with it!"
"Oh it's my pleasure to hit him and hit you too!" The woman yells, creating a sphere of energy in her hand and throwing it at Eclipse, knocking him to the ground.
"Who the hell are you?" TimberWolf asks, preparing to get up off the ground.
"The name's StarFighter and don't you forget it!" The woman says as she zaps TimberWolf again as he disappears.
"What the hell! Where did he go?" Eclipse asks, jumping up and flying towards the woman.
"The same place you are going." StarFighter says, projecting a beam of energy at Eclipse but missing.
"You are not going to get me that easily bitch! Where is TimberWolf?" Eclipse asks, throwing a sphere of light at her.
"You'll soon find out when you join him!" StarFighter screams as she fires multiple times at Eclipse, missing him. "Sit still you!"
"Not on your life bitch!" Eclipse shouts as Josh wakes up.
"What the hell is going on here?" Josh asks, as StarFighter turns around to fire at him.
"Oh no you don't! Josh run!" Eclipse screams as Josh takes off running.
"I hate it when they run!" StarFighter says, taking off in the direction that Josh ran.
// A Few Miles Away -- Unknown Location //
"Chance where are we?" A little girl asks, pulling on Chance's hand.
"We are safe for now sweetie." Chance answers her, picking her up in his arms. "Where is your mother?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen her since you brought us here." The little girl says.
"That's odd, I just saw Britney a few minutes ago." Chance says, looking around. "I hope she didn't get left behind or anything."
"No Chance, find my momma." The little girl says, crying now on Chance's shoulder.
"I will sweetie, I will." Chance says, walking along with the girl over to some other people. "Have any of you seen Britney?"
"No man, I haven't seen her since you brought us here." Braun answers him.
"Alex take her, I am going back to look for her." Chance says.
"Take it easy Brian and don't get spotted." Braun says, hugging Chance and kissing him on the cheek. "Be safe my friend."
"I will." Chance says, turning around and then stopping. "If Fox comes here, tell him that I went back to look for Britney."
"I will do that brother." Braun says as Chance disappears.

"Where's that girl?" Chance asks, looking around as he sees the sentinels heading in the direction he just appeared in. "Oh great they must have detected me."
"Chance is that you?" Chance hears a familiar voice.
"Britney you are still here. Why were you not with the others?" Chance asks, hugging the woman.
"When you guys left, I noticed that someone else was in here. She attacked Fox and the others. Eclipse got away so far. She's hunting for something Chance, but I don't know what it is. I have been following her down here, but I don't know where she's going." Britney explains.
"Damn, that's probably way I can't feel him." Chance says, rubbing Britney' s back. "D'Lynn is safe, she's with Alex and Dakota."
"Thank you Chance for seeing that she got to safety." Britney says, hugging him again. "We need to find your husband."
`Daddy help me.' Chance hears the voice of his son in his mind.
"Dreamer where are you?" Chance asks, looking around.
"Chance are you okay? I don't see Dreamer.
"He just spoke to me telepathically." Chance says, looking around again as a tear falls from his eye. "Son we will get you back."
"Oh Chance I'm so sorry." Britney says, as there was an explosion directly in front of them.
"Well what do we have here?" StarFighter says, smiling widely as she finds Chance and Britney.
"You!" Chance screams as he recognizes the woman. "You took my son!"
"That's right and I'm gonna take you too." StarFighter says, laughing as she projects a beam of energy at Chance and then at Britney, causing them to disappear.
// A Place That Used To be Washington, D.C. -- A Concentration Camp of Some Kind //
Firefox can you hear me man?' TimberWolf asks, hoping that Firefox would pick up his thoughts. This is great, just great. Stuck in this place and can't get the fuck out!'
`Are you helping daddy?' TimberWolf hears a voice, which sounds like a child in his mind.
`What the hell? Justin man you need to lay off the beer.' Justin thinks to himself as he hears the voice again in his mind.
`I don't think my daddy hangs around people like you.' The voice says in TimberWolf's mind.
`Wait...wait are you Dreamer?' Justin says in his mind.
`How did you know my name?" The voice asks in TimberWolf's mind.
`I'm helping your dads. I am here with Firefox and I can't get him to say anything.' Justin thinks as he sees something that looks like a star brightening up the room.
"What's going on?" Eclipse asks, waking up.
"Hi baby." TimberWolf says, looking at Eclipse, smiling. "I think we are about to meet Dreamer."
"Dreamer? So he's real?" Eclipse asks, standing up.
"See for yourself." TimberWolf says as an image of a little boy appears in the room.
"Baby I don't think that's real." Eclipse says, moving his hand through the image of the little boy. "It's like a hologram of some kind."
"You are kidding me, you're not kidding me." TimberWolf says as he tries to touch the boy too.
"I think we both have some form of delusions going on here." Eclipse says as the little boy turns around in a circle and appears again as a full-grown man. "Oh yeah we have been smoking something wicked. This is some crazy shit."
`Well I am trying to make myself look stronger.' The image of Dreamer says into the minds of Eclipse and TimberWolf.
"Well if you are not real, how can you help us?" Eclipse asks as Dreamer turns around and walks over to where Firefox was laying on the floor.
`Daddy, daddy wake up.' Dreamer says telepathically, trying to wake up Firefox.
"Dude I have been trying to wake him up for the longest time." TimberWolf says as the image of Dreamer catches on fire and he starts to resemble Firefox. "Whoa! Yeah that's his kid alright."
"Something's wrong here. I can't use my powers. Where are we?" Eclipse asks, looking around noticing that they were not the only ones in the room.
"I don't know where we are, but I think these are most of the people that were underground with us." TimberWolf says.
"I thought Chance got them to safety." Eclipse says.
"If I am not mistaken, Chance is right over there." TimberWolf says.
"Are your powers working Justin?" Eclipse asks, walking over to where he thought Chance was, bumping into the wall. "I can't see a fucking thing."
"He's a little over to the left." TimberWolf says, trying to direct Eclipse to where Chance was laying. "A little bit more...some more...there you're on top of him."
"Ummph." Eclipse says as he falls down on top of someone. "Yeah I think this is him, I recognize the feel of that strange armor of his."
"So you have him, wake him up. Maybe he can get us out of this place." TimberWolf says as the lights come on in the room. "Uh oh."
"No one's going no where, not today anyway." StarFighter says, kicking Eclipse, knocking him down to the floor. "You stay where I put you."
"Now now Ms. Aguilera you don't have to be so brutal to the prisoners, they can't hurt us in here." The General says, walking into the room. "Guards bring me these four here. Ms. Aguilera have them prepped and ready to leave within the hour."
"But sir." StarFighter says.
"Those are the four I want. You have your orders Ms. Aguilera." The General says, walking from the room.
"You heard the man, get them and lets get out of this place." StarFighter says.
"Where are you taking us?" Eclipse asks, as some strange looking cuffs are placed on his hands.
"That's on a need to know basis and you don't need to fucking know." StarFighter says, as he, Chance, Firefox and TimberWolf are carried out of the room.
"Pssst, what happened to Dreamer?" Eclipse whispers to TimberWolf.
"What's going on there?" One of the guards asks.
"I'll tell you later." TimberWolf says as the guard pushes him forward.
"Hey where are we going?" StarFighter asks, looking at the General strangely. "Processing is this way."
"We are not going to processing." The General says as he raises his hand and fires laser beams from a bracelet on his wrist, knocking StarFighter and the guards out for the count. "Okay that was a close one. You two must be Eclipse and WolfTimber?"
"Who the hell are you?" Eclipse asks.
"I'm Ariel." The General says, as his form changes to that of the woman they say the day before.
"You are the girl that was in the control room." Eclipse says.
"That's right. I'm a friend of Fox and Chance." Ariel says, checking her wrist laser. "I don't have much juice in this thing left. We have to get out of here and now."
"Our powers don't work and we can't seem to wake them up." TimberWolf says, kneeling down to Firefox.
"Well I am sure they will come too soon WolfTimber." Ariel says. "Your powers should be working now that you are out of that room."
"The name's TimberWolf." TimberWolf says glaring up at the girl.
"Sorry, no time for formalities, we have to get out of here before someone discovers that you are all gone." Ariel says, grabbing Chance and hefting him up on her shoulders. "Get him, let's jet."
"Come on." Eclipse says, lighting up and floating up into the air as TimberWolf grabs Firefox and hefts him up on his shoulders.
"What about Dreamer?" TimberWolf says, looking back. "He was back there trying to help us. When the lights came on he disappeared."
"You didn't see him, it was probably his dream self." Ariel says, running with Chance as they arrive at a gate. "Great how are we going to get past this gate without setting off any alarms?"
"I can fly over it." Eclipse says.
"What about us?" Ariel says, looking back.
"Well I can jump over the gate." TimberWolf says.
"Can you jump over the gate carrying Fox?" Ariel asks, looking at TimberWolf as he thinks about it.
"I should be able to do that." TimberWolf answers her as something appears next to them in the blackness.
"Hi there." Josh says, appearing from one of his portals. "Anyone need quick transportation?"
"How did you...oh nevermind. Let's go." Ariel says, jumping into the portal with Chance as Eclipse, TimberWolf follow her.
// A Small Distance Away //
"So how did you escape StarFighter?" Ariel asks, turning around to look at Josh as they appear in their new safe place.
"Yeah, how did you escape? I saw her zap you too." TimberWolf says.
"Thanks to Chance placing a power protection spell on me, when I dropped in that room that she sent us all to, my powers still worked so I was able to leave and hide outside until someone was able to get the search and rescue party started." Josh explains.
"Well what took you so long to pop up?" Ariel asks.
"I was following you and since you can change into other people, I got confused trying to keep up with you." Josh says as Ariel starts blushing.
"Sounds like a feasible answer to me." Eclipse says smirking at the woman.
"Momma, momma I'm so glad to see you!" A little girl says, running up to Ariel and jumping into her arms.
"Oh D'Lynn I am so glad to see you sweetie." Ariel says, holding the girl as tears came to her eyes.
"Ah she's so cute." Eclipse says, hugging TimberWolf.
"TimberWolf, Eclipse, this is my daughter D'Lynn. D'Lynn these are friend of mind and uncle Fox and Chance."
"Hi there." D'Lynn says, smiling as she hugs both TimberWolf and Eclipse. "Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too." Eclipse says, smiling as the little girl returns to Ariel's arms.
"So since the other place is destroyed, where are we going to go?" TimberWolf asks.
"Don't know yet." Ariel says as a strange light starts to fill the area.
"What's that light? It's not me." Eclipse says, looking around as Chance's body starts to glow brighter.
"Seems like someone has returned to the land of the living." Ariel says as Chance stands up. "Hello there fellow leader."
"Britney you are okay. My baby." Chance says, turning around to see Firefox lying on the ground.
"He's been out and have yet to come to." TimberWolf says, walking over to Chance. "I tried over and over, trying to get him to wake up, but he never did."
"He's going to wake up." Chance says kneeling in front of Firefox. "JT...JT baby wake up. Don't give up on me now, don't give up on life. I need you baby."
"Maybe we should let them have some space." TimberWolf says as he and Eclipse walks away.
"Maybe we should." Ariel says, walking away with D'Lynn as Josh gets up and walks away too.
"What have we gotten ourselves into Justin?" Eclipse asks, hugging onto TimberWolf. "Things are still the same. When are we going to stop
running?"
"We have already stopped baby. We are still around with these guys." TimberWolf says.
"That's because we are all homeless." Eclipse says, tears escaping his eyes. "I'm tired Justin. I don't want to fight no more."
"Baby we have to fight. As long as we have these powers and there are people out there like StarFighter and the other crazy people that created those Sentinels and the Hounds, we have...we have no choice but to fight." TimberWolf says, as some tears fell from his eyes too. "I know that's not what you wanted to hear baby, but this is our reality. We have to fight to stay alive."
"We have been fighting Justin. I'm just...just tired of fighting. I want to live life, not fight it away." Eclipse says, as he and TimberWolf sits down.
"We are going to get to live our life one way or the other baby. We just have to wait until all of this is over." TimberWolf says.
"Or we end up dead." Eclipse says, turning away from TimberWolf.
"Don't talk like that Nicky. We are not going to die. Our love will save us, it will keep us alive for times to come." TimberWolf says, leaning into Eclipse and placing a kiss to his lips. "No matter what happens baby, I will always love you."
"I love you too Justin." Eclipse says as he and TimberWolf embrace and kiss passionately.
"I know you do baby." TimberWolf says, looking into Eclipse's eyes. "Let's hang out with these guys for a while and see where that leads us."
"Do you really trust these guys?" Eclipse asks.
"I am starting to baby. Give them a chance." TimberWolf says laughing. "No pun intended I guess."
"I'm trying to Justin, I guess I am just scared of the things going on." Eclipse says, looking around as he notices they are alone. "Baby we are alone."
"I see that." TimberWolf says, smiling. "You wanna..."
"You know I do." Eclipse says, as he pulls his cape over the two of them as they start kissing.
