In the yard on the ground all watched as the two giant robots did an impression of scarecrows in a hurricane. Nocturne was the first to collect her wits and realize what had happen. She savagedly started beating on the Prime Sentinals while yelling over the sound of machine parts breaking, "I'd say Cerebro thinks Gyrich attacked first!!"

The two giant sentinels were thrust backwards with such tremendous force that most of their torso segments were crushed; and being flung back into the ground didn’t help matters in terms of them staying intact . . . . . . as their heads inevitably became sundered from the rest of their bodies. What remained of the Prime-II sentinels that were not being systematically taken apart by Nocturne and the other X-men, tried to complete their mission objective . . . . . to capture the girl, Gyrich monitored the uplink feed from the lead human sized sentinel on a small display as he was flying through the air. ~ A definite mistake ~ he thought, as he watched the sentinels get slowly taken apart by the mutants, that he had made the capture of the girl the sole directive of their updated programming. This meant that the machines cared little about the others around them; and focused only on capturing the girl . . . . . . . but he noticed that one of them was getting very close to her.

A fireball shot from her hand like a baseball pitcher hitting one sentinel, knocking it's leg apart. But the sentinel was the lest of her problems. Her powers where growing slowly. Without much training that was too much in it's self. It was like a large stress headache that wouldn't stop. Releasing another fireball caused her to be flung into the air. Her mind too overwhelmed to think shut down as she landed. Landing in the hand of a sentinel unconscious.

It took nano-seconds for the sole remaining sentinel to process the events leading to the girl being in his appendage. She appeared to be unconsciouss and was no longer resisting arrest; although she had already destroyed one sentinel and now no others remained to fight back. With the decision making process over, the sentinel clamped down on the girl although not damaging her exterior shell, which was very flimsy. It then proceeded to back away and try to withdraw, clutching the girl close to its torso.

A loud evil howl echoed as the wolfbeast leaped on the sentinel. "You ain't takin' her nowhere pal!" As he clawed a huge hole in the robot. "I'm gonna reduce you to scrap nintendo parts, release her!"
But the sentinel emitted a stunnin jolt to the wolf and he fell unconious to the ground. The sentiel stood straight and took off high in the air clutching the telepath.

Cerebro launched himself towards the retreating robot with a telekinetic push. Landing on the towering figures back, he clapped his hands together and made a slashing motion down. In response dents began appearing in the metal skin until it finally gave way to show its innards. Cerebro then pulled his hands apart and the skin of the Sentiel peeled away from the break like an orange peel.
"You heard my parnter, you walking junkpile, you arent going anywhere with that young lady!"

Had more of the sentinels been available to support the retreat Prime II then things may have turned out for the better . . . . . . as it stood things were now looking decidedly grim as power relays inside the robot began to fail and the towering machine began to lose altitude fast. Gyrich was now back on terra firma a good distance away and was watching through the visual sensors on the sentinel. ~I suppose the machine might take both of them out when it crashes . . . . . . . . . more than likely not. ~ Any attempt to evade the fireball that would soon be engulfing a small section of the park about the school; would need to be made fast as the sentinel ditched into a forward dive towards the ground. Using the verbal communications device in the sentinel Gyrich gave one last probe at Cerebro; in a metallic voice the undeniable tone of Gyrich came through. "Keep the girl for now cerebro; the bad publicity you're going to receive is worth the four sentinels . . . . . . I'll have more chances."
Gyrich stepped away from the balcony that overlooked the nearby lake of his base of operations, he tossed the small device that allowed him to monitor the sentinel and communicate to it, on the floor. Quickly drawing a pulse pistol and destroying it so that no uplink trace could be made.
"Phase two sir?" The tall and elegant military figure was now stood at the french windows, standing at ease, and looking utterly deadly. "British Intelligence is keen to get some kind of results on this project."
"I'm sure they are major Arndorn . . . I'm sure they are; but this is my show and we move at my pace . . . proceed with phase two."

The battle was over. The current rooster of the X-Men and the senior level students had poured out and began fighting the fire and ushering the younger students to safety. All of this was being done in a professional mannor that did Cerebro's training methods credit. Very soon the fire was out and a soothing rain (thanks to some of the weather munipulating students) began to come down lightly.
Standing on a hillock that over look the mansion, Cerebro glared at the charred black stone walls the surrounded the gaping hole in the second floor. He watched as his kids, his charges were calm as if this sort of thing was a natural part of their everyday lives. This thought angered the telepath beyond all reason because it was the sad truth. This was an everyday part of their lives, all because each and everyone of the residents of Xavier Institute had an extra piece of DNA.
Bishop walked up beside him from behind, "I've talked with Val Cooper," he said in a low tone, "She says Gyrich's actions weren't sanctioned and he..."
"He is off the reservation," Cerebro interrupted in a very cold, quiet voice.
"The XSE will find him for what he has done,"
"Better be before I do."
Bishop turned to looked at Cerebro who was not even looking at the older mutant. "Look, I know you and Bloodwolf are close..."
When Cerebro turned to Bishop, the look in the telepath's eyes sent a wave of fear and dread through the fearless man's soul. "Don't play me. Bloodwolf is dead. I felt his passing when it happened. And he is dead all because of Gyrich and his damn machines!"
"Gyrich will answer for his crimes,"
Cerebro nodded as he slowly began to turn away from Bishop, "Oh, of that I have no doubts. If Gyrich can go rogue then so can I," With his back to Bishop he bagan to walk away, disappearing into the rain.
"And Heaven help anyone, foe or friend, should they get in my way."
