Blink reappeared behind one agent, tapped him on the shoulder and then punched him in the jaw. Blinked out again to show up in the midst of the riflemen, glowing darts back in her hands. She threw them, hitting two rifles and displacing them to somewhere else. She wasn't exactly sure which somewhere, but had a suspicion that it was either Antartica or China. Mainly because that's where she had been thinking about before. Or possibly the moon.
Her head whipped around when she heard the shots from Fury's gun, concern showing on her face. She grinned when she saw Creed shake it off, then dive at the shorter man. Guess that meant it was fine to kill these idiots then.

Fury grimaced as the razor-sharp claws sank into his shoulder, and he was driven backwards by the larger man's charge.
A normal man would have been simply bowled over, allowing Creed to shred him to pieces at leisure. Fury was anything but normal. He had been subjected to the same Super Soldier experiment that had produced Captain America. While his procedure wasn't as successful as Captain America's, his strength, agility, and reflexes were still far greater than normal.
He allowed the inertia of Creed's tackle to knock him off his feet, and he drove his own feet into Creed's midsection, launching the mutant head over heels as Fury landed on his back. Scrambling to his feet, he spied Creed's companion disappearing and reappearing at will. Several of his agents were motionless on the ground already, and she was making short work of the rest. He tapped his whisper mic.
"Fury here. Send in tha Cavalry, we're gonna need it."
A dull, repeating thud began to sound from across the parking lot. Then more, from the opposite end. Two large, golden-armored Mandroids were slowly making their way towards the battle. One of them fired a blue neural disruptor beam at Blink, and lightning-like energy crackled across her entire body.
It would still take several seconds for the ponderous Mandroids to reach the battle. An eternity, when faced with two dangerous mutants.

Sabretooth easily recovered from Fury's deflection, twisting and landing on his feet and skidding to a stop. In instants, he was ready to spring back into action. He smiled grimly at his prey and with his head down and eyes narrowed prepared to charge him.
But the battle armor's attack on Blink caught his attention and the unexpected protectiveness flared again. Suddenly and without thought, Creed was covering the distance between him and the attacking battlesuit. He swiped both hands at the disruptor, his claws severing it along with the arm it was a part of.
Sparks flew as metal cut metal.
Creed hit the ground ready to take out the suit's occupant next.

The agent inside the armor shrieked as sparks, hydraulic fluid, and blood sprayed out from where the arm used to be.
As the armored agent toppled to the ground, nearby agents panicked and began peppering Creed with small-arms fire.

Blink only had time to turn slightly and put up her hands in protested before the nueral wave hit her. She immediately tried to blink out as the gunshot wound on her side burned, but discovered to her horror that she couldn't. She immediately slashed at one of the agnets near her with her darts as they obviously knew that she wouldn't be teleporting anymore and moved in.
She backflipped gracefully, landed one elbow to a throat then viciously slid an unpowered dart through another's arm. Weak spots, she thought to herself furiously as the man cried out in shock and pain. She needed some weak spots. They were all covered up in armor. She jumped into the air, landed behind an agent, put her hands on either side of his head and *twisted*. His neck broke with a sharp crack.
"C'mon, fellas. Y'all can't take care of lil' ole me?"
She let the dead body drop and backflipped smoothly to get herself away from one of operatives. She'd be fine as long as they didn't shoot at *her*.
She wasn't that worried about the fact that Creed was getting shot at. He'd survived worse; the best they could do with that was tick him off.

Sabretooth paused and watched as the bullets exploded against his skin. His smile twisted into a growl. Then he was running, moving with incredible speed sometimes dodging and still moving closer to the shooters.
"Geeze, Fury", he shouted through clenched teeth. "This th' best ya got?"

Fury gritted his teeth at the pain shooting through his shoulder. His Desert Eagle lay in two pieces on the ground, neatly sliced in half by Creed's adamantium claws. He couldn't let Creed mix it up with his agents, they wouldn't have a chance. He had to keep him busy until the other Mandroid was in range.
He launched himself at Creed, who was crouching over the fallen Mandroid. He spun and caught Creed across the jaw with a roundhouse kick, and noted with detatched amusement the metallic CLANG[/b] the impact made.
"Take the other one down! I'll keep Laughing Boy here busy."

"I've faced down the Horsemen of Apocalpyse, and you guys think you're gonna do much more then make me break a lil' bit of a sweat? Please!" Blink laughed, and threw herself into the fight with renewed vigour.
"So many of you against just one o' me? Chivalry is indeed dead!"
Even without her teleportation powers, Blink moved and reacted very quickly indeed. And the darts in her quiver were very, very sharp and proved quite easy to slide home inside the smallest gaps and joins in the operatives armour.

As Creed's hand went to the wipe the blood and saliva from the side of his mouth he gave Fury an admiring grin.
"I fergot what a helluva dancer ya are, Nick.", he told him. "Aint'cha even gonna gimme some flowers're nothin' first?"
Sabretooth knelt and looked up at Fury dangerously. His muscles coiled.
"Then mebbe I jus' don't wanna dance with ya no more.", he said with a sneer.
He launched into the air over Fury's head and in a heartbeat clung to the back of the second Mandroid.

Agent Freeman heard the servos in his Mandroid armor whine in protest as they suddenly were forced to compensate for this new weight, and shift in center of gravity.
He took a step back, and suddenly lowered a shoulder, in the classic Judo backflip maneuver. As Creed was catapulted off of his back, he could hear the teeth-rattling scrape of claws on armor as Creed hit the ground, and sprang to his feet, snarling.
Backpedaling furiously, Freeman triggered the neural disruptor in his left forearm. Blue, lightning-like energy crackled through Creed's nervous system as his body shook with spasms.

Sabretooth howled in rage and pain and struggled against the uncontrollable spasms. He took a step toward Fury as the energy coursed around him and through him. His face was utter rage.
He took another step and shouted his anger and defiance through clenched and bared teeth.
Then he collapsed to the ground, his body smoldering and trembling to the continued attack of the disruptor.

"Mr Creed!" Blink shouted, sounding desperate and more then a little angry.
That blue beam...whatever it was...and oh god, he was *smoking*! And then he collapsed. She hadn't even really thought that was possible. There was that one time with Harvest...and she'd gotten the bastard back for that, dropped him straight into one of his vats for him hanging up Mr Creed in chains with a massive gut wound.
She snarled and leapt straight at Fury, white eyes blank of readable expression as usual, but face twisted with rage.
"BASTARD!"

Fury's head snapped around as Blink shouted at him.
That beam wouldn't hold Creed for long, they had to neutralize him quick.
"Getta collar on 'im! And a muzzle! And..."
He didn't have time for anything else. Blink was on him in an instant.

Blink crashtackled him to the ground through the element of surprise more then her actual weight. She raked one set of nails down his cheek and raising bloody clawmarks, flipping one of her darts into her other hand and raising it for a strike downwards at Fury's face.
"I'm going to put out your other goddamned EYE, you sonuvvabitch!"
I've gone through too much for you humans to take him from me again!

Fury grunted as the force of her impact drove him onto his back.
"Not in this lifetime, darlin'."
He brought the heel of his hand up hard under her chin, and drove a knee into her midsection. She was quick, no doubt. But Fury had the edge in strength and experience. If he was patient, he could wear her down enough to exploit a mistake.
