[May of 2012]
[°Stryker's Mutant Facility°]
3rd Person P.O.V
All the reporters, soldiers and the X-Men's eyes all widened seeing the action of the Sentinels as the latter reached its hands out and morphed it into machine guns.
Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta!!
The loud noise of machine guns being fired resounded in the area as large bullets almost the size of a baby's fists came out and rapidly approached them.
Andrew was just as calm as before as he waved his hand and conjured a force-field that covered all the people around him.
Ta-ta-ta-ta!
The bullets all slammed at the force-field as the reporters all began screaming in panic.
""AHHHH!!""
The soldiers was quick with their response as they brought up their guns while immediately connecting to their comms.
""We're being attacked by a group of unidentified robots! I repeat! We're being attacked by a group of an unidentified robots! We need back up! Do you copy!""
Kacha! Crack!
The force-field around them that Andrew conjured began having small cracks that turned bigger the next second.
CRACK! CRACK!
Andrew who was scheming inwardly turned to the group of people around him as he shouted at them "Take cover! Their bullets seems to have special properties of being able to pierce my force-fields! Quick take cover!"
After saying that he turned to the X-Men behind him "Can you all do this?"
Thud!
"We're trained to do this." Alex immediately responded while punching his palm in a confident manner.
Ororo just nodded while sparks of electricity began coursing through her hands. Piotr also punched his palm that produced a metallic sound. Kurt on the other hand took a stance and hissed while showing his fangs.
Hank also took a stance while growling while Logan unleashed his Adamantium claws after dumping the unconscious Sabretooth to the side. They all stepped forward and covered their professor from behind since the latter can't fight physically.
The audience was all still watching as they expressed their amazement from the display of X-Men.
[So they are the X-Men?]
[They all look strong, especially that metal skinned guy.]
[I searched for a bit and found that the name of that white-haired woman was Storm, Arrrrgh, please step on me!]
[Are those claws coming out of that guy's knuckles? That definitely hurt, right?]
[Yes, but I'm still in shock that there's such a pervert above you.]
[Guys what are you talking about here! There's a high possibility that people will get killed there and you all are thinking such useless things?]
—-—
Andrew ignored their rumblings as he made his force-field weaker and weaker as it eventually broke apart and shattered like glass.
The reason he is doing this and was not protecting them like he should be capable of doing with ease was he has a plan.
He will try and show to the whole world how powerless they are in front of such forces and how being a meta is the only way to protect themselves.
As the force-field all broke apart, The Sentinels readied their guns to attack again but Andrew had different plans for their program as he manipulated their actions by instilling psionic energy in their bodies.
Weeeeng!
The Sentinels all stopped for a moment, then they moved again as half of them pointed their guns to the running reporters and readied soldiers while the remaining half faced off the X-Men and Andrew.
The soldiers all had their eyes widened seeing the action of the big robots as they all fired their guns to protect the civilians.
Ratatata!
Thud Thud Thud!
But as expected, the bullets didn't do anything to damage the Sentinels in the slightest as it fired at them.
The soldiers immediately rolled to the side and hid behind their choppers. The civilians on the other hand have already went inside the facility and some was even brave enough to not completely go inside just for the sake of capturing what was currently happening.
Boom!
Boom!
Andrew made the Sentinels continue firing as it destroyed half the choppers, but its onslaught was interrupted as Piotr barreled one of the Sentinels. He grabbed the foot of the Sentinel and then made it go off balance.
He then grunted as he tried pulling that particular foot but was unsuccessful as he was kicked away by its other foot.
Thud!
He roughly landed to the ground as that Sentinel quickly caught up to him and grabbed his whole body.
Piotr and the X-Men's – who was running to attack the other Sentinels – widened as they saw the hands of that Sentinel suddenly morphing and quickly turned to Osmium — The steel that made up the organic metal form of Colossus.
"Arrrggggghh!!"
That Sentinel then began squeezing Colossus in its hand as the latter shouted in agony as he can feel his metallic bones being rattled and strained inside his body.
But the X-Men wouldn't let that Sentinel just squeeze Colossus to death as Alex fired a strong blast of concussive energy from his hands.
The Blast immediately made the Sentinel let go of Colossus as it was roughly thrown to the ground but it took little to no damage.
"This robots seems to have mimicking abilities! We need to be careful!" Beast quickly shouted as he ran on all fours towards Colossus' side and helped him to stand up.
The camera at Andrew's side was still capturing this moments as the latter and former saw that the rest of the Sentinels that was attacking the X-Men suddenly stopped and then a red energy began gathering from their hands.
'They also have the power sharing capability?' Andrew curiously thought.
The Sentinels then pointed their hands at them and then the same energy blast of Alex from before, came out and rapidly approached them.
Andrew ran to the fronts with impressive speed as he conjured three walls of force-fields that layered upon each other.
Craash!
The energy blast slammed at the first layer which immediately cracked upon contact and shattered the first layer.
The second layer was already on its way to also being shattered when the energy blasts of the Sentinels suddenly lowered in its intensity.
"Wora! Wora! Wora! Wora! Woraaaaa!!" The reason for this was Logan who have sneaked from his group and stealthily managed to approach one of the Sentinels and began slashing his claws at its feet which was immediately sliced without much effort.
The rest of the Sentinels all stopped their energy attacks as they turned their attention to Logan who have already managed to make the Sentinel fall to the ground as he slashed at its chest continuously.
"Quick! Support Logan, his claws seemed to make the most damage to these robots." Hank quickly shouted again as Storm's eyes became white as she began floating to the air.
She reached her hands to the air as the wind became more and more violent while sparks of electricity manifested around, the weather seemed to also respond to her as the clouds gathered and covered the morning sun.
She pointed her hands to the Sentinels — that was about to fire an energy blast at Logan — as bolts of lightning from the clouds struck them.
The attacking Sentinels all fell to their knees as the lightning coursed through their bodies. At this point, Logan was already finished with the Sentinel that he was attacking as its power died down.
On the other hand. The group of the Sentinels that was attacking the soldiers was now facing Andrew, Kurt and Sabretooth.
Sabretooth already had clarity in his eyes as Andrew managed to remove the psych manipulation that the facility have ingrained in him rather easily.
"What do I do?" Kurt turned to him and asked with a panicky expression.
"Your job is to teleport any individuals, specially the civilians, to safety as the Sentinels are also attacking them." Andrew replied as Nightcrawler nodded and then teleported away.
Andrew then turned to the growling Victor Creed who had his chin length hair messily sprawled all over his face. "You just have to do what Logan there just did, copy?"
Sabretooth growled in agreement as he immediately ran to the Sentinels without waiting for any instructions from the Andrew.
Bang!
Boom!
The Sentinels immediately fired energy blasts upon the running Sabretooth who evaded all those attacks with extreme display of agility and reflexes.
Sabretooth managed to close in on one of them as he jumped and managed to impressively reach the face level of the Sentinels as he slashed using both hands.
The Sentinels that was just about to fire an energy blast from its face was shockingly decapitated as the former's adamantium nail claws reached an even longer length which was about the size of a forearm.
Andrew raised an eyebrow at that as he also floated to the air but then he was suddenly struck by a lightning bolt that another Sentinel conjured.
The audience from the live and the those who was watching the fight personally was shocked, just as they thought that he's about to go down after tanking that bolt, he shocked them by still staying in the air as the lightning bolt that covered him disappeared as if he sucked it into his own body.
Xavier and the reporters inside the building watched in amazement as he pointed his hands at the Sentinels and fired a golden concussive energy blast that quickly reached one of the Sentinels and made a big hole in its chest.
The comment section was filled with chaos once again while the reporters weren't making the scene slip from their cameras as they captured every second of what was happening with grin on their faces.
Nightcrawler on the other hand was busy teleporting the soldiers that was desperately trying to evade the energy blasts of the Sentinels – courtesy of Andrew.
Andrew then made a portion of the Sentinels that was constantly attacking the soldiers to gather its energy blast and point it to the facility, specifically to the civilians inside that was poking their heads from the gate to watch the event.
Ziiiiing!
Zsssst! Zap!
He also made some to attack using lightning as their heads, chest and hands began glowing ominously while pointing to the facility.
