It wasn't long until news of the prison breakout had reached the ears of hero community.
" Avengers! Gear up, we got a prison break in process at Alcatraz. Tigra, wonder man, War machine, Hawkeye meet me in the hangar asap. Hawkeye out." Clint informed his team of the breakout and quickly gathered the few members of the west coast Avengers he had on hand.
Across the country, news had also reached the x-men.
" Agent Pierce, do you have any news for us?" Scott asked as he answered the phone call from the man.
" It's bad news, there's a massive prison break at Alcatraz. All communication from the island has been cut." Pierce told the man.
" We're on it." Scott replied he hung up the phone and reached out to Emma through their telepathic link. ' Emma, gather the staff, there's a breakout at Alcatraz. Have everyone meet me in hangar now.' Scott told the woman.
' Alright, Scott.' Emma replied.
Scott got up from his chair and grabbed his vizor. And made a b-line straight to the X-jet! An upgraded version of the former SR-71 blackbird.
Meeting him in the hangar were the X-men Nightcrawler, Emma Frost, Colossus, Kitty Pryde, Gambit, NorthStar, Karma, Beast, Wolfsbane, and the recently returned Wolverine, along with the Hellions and the New Mutants.
" What are you all doing here?" Scott asked.
" We're coming with you. No way one of ours is getting into trouble without us being there for him." Julian told the man.
" No, this isn't some training exercise. This is real life danger." Scott told the kids.
" Mr. Summers, this is what you trained us for. Let us help out. Or why train us at all?" David asked the man.
Scott thought it over for a second before replying.
" All right, you want to help. Hellions, you'll stay with Emma and do exactly as she says. New Mutants you're with me. The same rule applies. You want to help, that's good. But you'll do it under our orders or not at all understand." Scott told the kids.
" Yes sir."
" All right X-men, let's go."
The team boarded their jet and took off at top speed towards the prison Island.
Meanwhile, Ian was still in the thick of things.
" Whew! That was easier than I thought." Ian muttered as he sat atop a pile of inmates. " But one thing is weird, I've barely seen any of the guards. It could be they're on different floors, or even outside. Still, besides the guard on my floor and the ones in the cafeteria, there should be more than this, Where's the riot squad? They could be locked up somewhere. Or maybe they were already taken out." Ian asked. He hopped to his feet and started running down the hall, this was all far from over. There were still a massive number of inmates and superpowered individuals on the Island.
For Ian, it was hard to tell where he should go, due to the sheer loudness of the screams and shouts, and gunfire.
Ian rounded the corner and just barely missed a bullet whizzing past his face courtesy of one of the few armed guards in the facility.
" Well, well, well. Look what we got here Piledriver. A bunch of do-gooders in the wrong place at the very wrong time. What do you think we should do?" Wrecker asked. He batted his crowbar playfully in his hands and smiled down at the officers in front of him.
" I say we play wrecking ball." Piledriver replied.
" Hey, that sounds like fun. Can I play?" Ian asked.
Wrecker turned around and was sent flying across the corridor by a fist.
" Remember me, you bastards?" Ian shouted.
" You little shit!" Piledriver swung his fist at Ian, but Ian grabbed it. Piledriver was shocked that the boy managed to catch him so easily. " Don't get cocky!" He tried again with his other hand, but that was stopped as well.
Ian gripped the man's arms hard and lifted them up above his head. He then released them both and punched Piledriver right in his throat, causing the man to gasp for breath. He then punched piledriver so hard in his stomach that his fist looked like it would pierce through his back.
Piledriver, toppled over and threw up on the ground, but Ian wasn't done.
He raised both of his fists and slammed them down on Piledriver's back, knocking him towards the ground. But he wasn't done. On his way down, Piledriver, was caught by Ian's knee, which lifted him back up into the air only for Ian to once again slam his fists down on top of his back.
" What are you waiting for?" Ian turned to the guards and asked. " I've got these guys. You all get to safety." Ian told the man.
" Thank you, kid." One of the guards replied. " Here take this, we need all the help we can get. This way you can keep in contact with the others." He took his radio off and handed it to Ian.
" Thanks. No go, I've got some work to do." Ian spoke. He looked across the hall to see Wrecker and More of the Inmates returning, with a vengeance.
" Right, good luck kid." The guard said once more. He and the other two guards nodded and quickly took off behind Ian.
" Guess, I'm going that way." Ian spoke. He placed the radio in his ear and could immediately hear all of the guards barking out orders. " Jesus. They need to talk one at a time." Ian muttered.
" Ugh! You think, you're gonna get away with this?" Piledriver asked as he tried pushing himself up off the ground.
Ian slammed his foot down on the man's head and rubbed it into the ground.
" You don't know how to shut up, do you Piledriver?" Ian asked.
He grabbed the man by his legs and threw him right at the approaching prisoners and ran straight after them, building up momentum and running headfirst into the group.
Wrecker managed to catch the flying, Piledriver, only to then immediately be speared by Ian.
" RAAAAAAH!" Ian roared. He tumbled along the ground with Piledriver and Wrecker, both trying to get free. Ian used the momentum and all his strength to fling both men through concrete wall in front of him. " All of you, back in your cells!" Ian screamed to the other inmates." Ian glared at the men circled around him, and they all slowly backed off. " I find any of you out of those cells, and I will snap you in half. Ian then turned his attention back to the two wrecking crew members. He leapt into the air and landed right on top of both of them.
The three men crashed landed straight down to the floor below, which is where the main entrance to the prison was.
Ian grabbed them both by their throats and lifted them up into the air. He smashed their faces together and then slammed them both back into the ground.
" Is that all?" Ian asked.
" Not by a long shot." Wrecker spoke as he and piledriver lifted themselves up from the ground.
Ian smiled and cracked his knuckles.
" Good."
The two wreckers rushed the boy together, with a battle cry.
Thirty minutes later.
Ian crashed through the front entrance of the prison with both Wrecker and Piledriver in his hands. He placed them both on the ground and wiped his face full of sweat.
" Persistent, bastards. No wonder they give the hulks so much trouble." Ian was bleeding slightly from his head, he had to admit the two men together were a strong duo. " It was a good thing; their partners weren't here or that would have been next to impossible at my current strength. Jesus, how strong is the hulk? To fight these guys by himself. He's a real powerhouse." Ian muttered.
" FREEZE!" A group of officers rushed Ian with their guns pointed at the boy.
" Hold up, I'm trying to help you guys alright. I caught these two for you." Ian told the men, he started walking towards them but suddenly an arrow landed in front of Ian, and he looked up and saw one of the Hawkeye's, Kate bishop.
" Tick tick boom!" She spoke. Ian and the wreckers both were sent flying by the exploding arrow.
When Ian landed, he rubbed his head. The blast didn't really hurt him, but it was still annoying.
" Oh, what a bitch!" Ian cursed.
" AVENGERS! TAKE'EM DOWN!" Hawkeye, Clint barton, shouted as he and the rest of the Avengers arrived.
Ian was startled by the arrival of the west coast avengers.
" Hey, wait. Wait. I'm on your side!" Ian shouted. It was all happening so fast; he didn't have time to mentally prepare himself or properly explain himself.
" Yeah right. Says the guy wearing a prison uniform." Wonder man replied.
" No. No, no! No no no wait!" Ian uttered as Wonder man charged him.
Wonder man, leapt into the air and Ian sighed. Ian leapt into the air speared Wonder man through the ceiling of the prison.
" Ugh!" Wonder man grunted. The two men crashed through the floor of the prison, landing right back onto the first floor.
" I want you to know, I'm sorry about this." Ian told the man. He grabbed him by his ankle and threw him up against a wall hard and rushed him, tackling him right through the multiple walls of steel and concrete.
" Wonder man, needs help!" Hawkeye shouted.
" I'm on it. Knock it off, kid and get back in your cell." War machine replied. He flew up behind Ian fired a repulsor beam right into his back.
" UGH!" Ian grunted; he was knocked off of Wonder man with force and sent crashing out of the prison and back onto the front yard.
" Thanks." Wonder man told War machine. " That kid is strong as hell."
" No problem. Let's get this one taken care of." War machine told the man.
" Right." Wonder man and War machine flew out of the building after Ian, who was trying to get up off the ground.
" Damn, bastards. IS everyone out for my head?" Ian asked himself.
" Not at all. Just give up peacefully and we can end this." War machine told the boy.
" I'm trying to help, you damn ass." Ian told the man. " But fine, if you want to fight, I'm game."
" I got this Rhodey. Aghh!" Wonder man lunged at Ian but was sent flying by a big red beam that hit him right in his chest. " What the hell?"
" I'm gonna ask you once to keep your hands off my student." Scott told the man. He had his fingers pressed to his vizor and was ready to fire again.
" X-men? What are you doing here?" War machine asked.
" We're here to help." Scott told the man. " And to make sure our student is safe."
" Student. So, you mean." Wonder man started.
" YES, like I've been trying to tell you, you damn moron. I'm trying to stop the riot." Ian told the man. " But I got caught up fighting the wreckers." Ian told the man.
" Sorry, kid. We owe you for that." War machine spoke up.
" Don't worry about it. Right now, we have work to do. Listen up, there are multiple Super powered individuals in their running amok. I've taken out Wrecker and Piledriver already. But I can't handle all of them alone. Not to mention the amount of guards still trapped in there. So, this is what we need to do, Colossus, Wonder man you're strong too. You two will come with me into the prison first. We'll clear the first floor, and then split up from there. Wolfsbane, Nightcrawler, Shadowcat. You three are on civilian duty. Wolfsbane, use your nose to try and find anyone trapped. Nightcrawler and Shadow cat will use their powers to get people out." Ian spoke.
The others were surprised at how quickly he had started barking out orders, so much so that he sounded just like Logan.
" Frost, use your telepathy to link us all up. You'll be our information guide. Give us details and updates on any civilians and enemy targets. War machine, you're the eye in the sky. Keep watch out for anyone trying to get off the island. Cyclops, Wolverine. You two will handle anyone who gets past us. Gambit, Beast, Karma, NorthStar. You four will follow us into the prison. The extra hands will be of use." Ian spoke.
" What about us?" Julian asked.
Ian turned to the New Mutants and Hellions.
" Okay change of plans. New Mutants, you'll go with cyclops and help defend the easter side of the Island. Hellions, you'll stay here with Miss Frost and hold the front of the prison. Wolverine, you take Gambit, and Karma with you to the western side of the prison. All of you be careful in there. It's a shit show everywhere you look and we're vastly outnumbered. You know your roles. Let's go!" Ian shouted. Ian wasn't too happy with the X-men, but he knew better than to hold a grudge while danger was around them. He certainly wasn't going to turn away the help.
" RAAAAGH! WHERE ARE YOU LITTLE BOY!" Rhino exploded through the front wall of the prison. He spotted the X-men and started running towards them.
"Colossus, Throw me!" Ian shouted.
" Aye. One fastball special coming right up, Tovarich!" Colossus grabbed Ian by his collar and spun him around and launched him right at Rhino.
Ian flew towards Rhino with the force of a human wrecking ball. He smashed into Rhino's chest and tumbled along the ground. He landed on his feet and threw the big man right back into the prison.
" Let's go!" Ian shouted. He raced into the prison after Rhino.
" You heard him X-men! Let's get to work!" Scott shouted. He was impressed by the leadership Ian showed. And even more so, by the way he split up everyone on teams.
" Right!"
Colossus and Wonder man both ran into the prison, following behind Ian, while Emma got to work syncing everyone's mind together.
" Alright, Tovarich. What's the plan?" Colossus asked as he and Wonder man joined Ian.
" Well, first, we're gonna need to take care of this guy." Ian told the two men. " He's not that strong. But he's big and he causes a lot of collateral with his moves." Ian explained.
" AGHHHH! YOU THINK A LITTLE METAL MAN CAN HELP YOU OUT?" Rhino asked. " I WILL CRUSH ALL THREE OF YOU UNDER BOOT!" Rhino shouted. Rhino rushed the three men carelessly.
" I doubt it!" Ian replied.
He, Colossus, and Wonder man all tackled Rhino with ease.
" How does it feel to be the one ganged up on, huh big guy?" Ian asked.
Colossus grabbed Rhino's chest, and Wonder man swooped his legs out from under him, while Ian punched him in the face.
" Agh!" Rhino grunted as he toppled over to the ground.
" Stay on him!" Ian shouted. He continued to pummel Rhino into the ground, breaking the metal horn on his suit off in the process.
And all at once, Ian, Colossus, and Wonder man slammed their fists into Rhino's chest.
" Ughhh!" Rhino groaned.
' Emma, can you hear me?' Ian asked.
' Yes, Brawl.' Emma replied.
' Rhino's down on the first level. Let the authorities know.' Ian told the woman.
' Of course.' Emma replied.
" All right, Emma's gonna handle this guy. Are you guys ready to clean house a bit?" Ian asked.
" Damn straight." Wonder man exclaimed.
" Of course." Piotr stated.
" Then get ready, Cuz here they come." Ian told the two men.
Brawl, Colossus and Wonder man, engaged the inmates on the first floor and started moving through them rather quickly. Most of them were just ordinary men with knives or guns, which neither could hurt colossus or Ian. And with his powers, wonder man, could disarm them easily.
' Alright, Wolfsbane, your team can come in now. We're moving up to the other floors.' Ian told the woman.
' All right. We're comin!' Rahne replied.
" All right, Colossus, you take the second floor. The third floor should be empty, but just in case Wonder man you take it. I'll head up to the fourth floor and try to stem the flow down a bit. If you need help remember to let other people know. We have people to spare." Ian told the two.
" Right, be safe Tovarich." Colossus told the boy.
" Of course." Ian replied. " Now, let's go." Ian took off up the flight of stairs with colossus stopping on the second.
" Be safe kid!" Wonder man shouted as Ian continued up past the third floor.
" You too!" Ian replied. He continued running and eventually hit the fourth floor. The moment he came onto the floor he was immediately hit in the face with another explosion. " Damn it." Ian cursed.
" Are we done here yet, Tombstone?"
" Yeah... Boss says they got what they came for. Drop the roof on him." Tombstone told Nitro.
" Hey! Assholes!" Ian shouted. " Don't you know it's not nice to come uninvited?" Ian asked.
" Heh! What's this? Aren't you lost kid?" Tombstone asked. " Why don't you get lost before you get killed."
" I've been hearing that all day. And I gotta say out of the creeps I've put down, you two are the least impressive." Ian replied.
" Oh, little boy don't you even know? HEhehe! You're playing with the big boys now!" Nitro told the boy. His eyes turned yellow and suddenly the entire hallway went up in an explosion.
