Beast stood behind the podium, on a stage in the centre of Washington. Multiple news organisations had stuck their microphones onto the podium and their cameras pointed to the stage to record his words to the nation… The world. Hopefully he could do some good today. Change what will happen for the world.

"My name is Dr. Henry McCoy. Some of you will know me as Beast." He starts, looking at everyone. Glancing to Jubilee and the X-Force off to the wings. Warpath was stood beside him, eyes focused on providing security. He had faith in the X-Force, though inexperienced.

"I plan on taking the fight to Linda Kelly, advocate against the rights of mutants. And her backer, Trask. I hope you will support me in this endeavour. For too long, mutants have been treated like lower class citizens. But our time is now! It is time for us to fight for these. For our futures, and for the present."

The crowd starts cheering, in agreement with Beast. People go absolutely wild. In the crowd, a few people aren't. Their plan is about to go into action. And they've caught the attention of two people they don't want to. A small figure stands off to the side, sniffing the air and focusing on these few people. He starts to push through the crowd, aiming to reach them. Pushing people out of the way. On the other side of the crowd, a taller man does the same. His fingernails growing longer into claws and his teeth becoming more beast like. They're going to meet in the centre and it will be gory.

The man they're after, starts to place a desire to fight and cause problems in the crowd, a powerful telepath it would seem. People around him start to bicker, as the plan works. They just need the final trigger to happen. Another man, aware of how his life might end today pulls a small gun from his pocket and pushes his way through the crowd, aiming it at Senator McCoy. With a single pull of the trigger, a 9mm bullet flies through the air…

“AND WE MUST FIGHT FOR OUR CHILDREN. SO THAT ONE DAY THEY MAY LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT FEAR. WE MUST SHOW THE WORLD: WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN. WE WILL NOT HIDE.”

… And ends up inside Beast. The gunfire shocks the crowd into silence. And the two figures start pushing either harder, aiming to get to the telepath. Unbeknownst to them, a girl near the crowd grows angry. Beast collapses to the ground, his eyes staring at Jubilee forever, blood leaking from a single hole in the centre of his head.

With a quick movement, she amputates the shooters legs with psionic blades, kicking him off the stumps to the ground. Blood flowing all over the ground beneath and soaking his jeans. He screams in pain in response, staring at his feet. Rowyn takes the gun from his trembling hand and turns it over in her hand, before firing it point blank into his face and blowing the back of his head open. The third man takes his cue, grinning that they took the bait. He points a long bony finger at the Brotherhood and then shouts out.

"IT WAS THE BROTHERHOOD! THEY SHOT THE SENATOR!" He cries out, pointing a bony finger at the psychopath holding the gun. A hundred heads swing her way, and to the Brotherhood. And in a single moment, a riot begins.

The two men who had been pushing through the crowd meet in the centre, where the Telepath is. He sees the both of them and starts running. The two men acknowledge one another for a moment, before clashing. 6 silver claws pop out from between the smaller man's knuckles, as he dives at the taller one.

"JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMES." He shouts, piercing him Sabretooth through the chest with his claws. The tips of which appear on the other side of his body.

Somewhere in the crowd, a man in black and red grins under a mask, giving an invisible audience a thumbs up before diving into the fray, swords in the air. This is merely one reaction of thousands, as the world stares in horror.

X-Force, your job is to help protect the innocent with Jubilee and Warpath. X-Men, the Institute and the Bros? FIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT

No really, start fighting. We've been cooking this up for ages. Everyone try to squabble with one other person. That way nobody misses out, and nobody ends up with multiple people. IF YOU FINISH YOUR FIGHT THEN SURE, GO FIND ANOTHER! :D

Later on the day, a second thread will go up with the US Governments response to a city wide riot. Which is where the future of plot is determined. You can thank Mark, Miles and Abigail however for their contribution. Their destruction of a city means there won't be a massive response.

REMEMBER NO GODMODDING, BE FAIR TO YOUR POWERS AND TO OTHR PLAYERS. THIS IS A MASSIVE FIGHT WITH A FEW THOUSAND PEOPLE AROUND YOU, A LOT OF THEM ARE MUTANTS. Meaning, shit's gonna go crazy and you're gonna be on the move a lot. Expect to tire out after a while. None of the mods wanna come in and go 'NO FAIR' :)

ALSO The Brotherhood may pop up, the evil ones. Keep an eye open darlings ;D
