Alison makes the save

“We can’t let him corrupt Illyana!” Dani cried out.

Magik’s hair was already becoming paler and her skin was darkening.

“I’m sorry, Illy!” Dazzler called out, absorbing Dani’s cry to deliver a concussive photon blow to knock out the magic user. **** retaliated with a back elbow to Alison, rendering her ****.

Psylocke jumped in and swung expertly at the dark mutant, but he just as expertly dodged and weaved. At one point, he caught Psylocke’s wrist and directed it into Hisako’s skull. The psi blade penetrated through Armor’s Armor and hit its target, sending psionic feedback through Hisako and into Xuân! The physical Xuân reared back in pain. **** noted the girl among all the duplicates Dani was still generating.

Meanwhile, the jolt released Armor from Karma’s control and left the Japanese girl momentarily stunned as she came back into consciousness. Because of this, her armor and guard momentarily went down, leaving her wide open for a knockout blow by the former horseman. She crumpled to the floor.

Psylocke snaked her body around ****, trying to **** him out, but with her arm still in his grip, **** flipped the telepath over and grabbed more rubble to **** charge and toss at her. She rolled back to avoid their corrosive touch. He used this as a distraction to go after Karma. He grasped at her with his corrupting hand, but only caught thin air. He stopped and looked dumbfounded.

“Gotcha!” Dani’s Karma illusion smiled as it pointed behind him.

**** turned around just in time to see the real Karma directly behind him. Before he could react, he took a close ranged psionic strike from the mental mutant, knocking him down to the ground.

“Did you get him?” Dani asked Xuân, running to her side as the body of **** began to stir and pick himself up again. The native woman clenched her fist, ready to fight. Betsy joined her, psi blade at the ready.

**** stood still, staring blankly in the middle distance.

“I got him!” Karma replied with a sigh of relief. Remy’s body looked down and checked itself out.

“Will you be able to control him long enough for us to make it back to base?” Betsy asked.

“I think so…” Karma replied. “But that depends on when Magik wakes up. She’s kind of our ride…”

Dani went over to check on her comrade, patting her cheek and shaking her lightly. “She’s out cold,” she revealed. She then turned to the controlled body of Gambit. “Hold him as long as you can, Xuân, while we add some safety measures…” She pulled out a collar from her sack and clamped it around Gambit’s neck.

“You brought a mutant dampening collar?” Betsy asked.

“When you told Emma the situation, she thought it would be ‘prudent’ to use this,” Dani explained. “But even with this on, Gambit is a skilled fighter, so Karma’s control powers were always the main strategy.

“Well, it would seem that it was a good one,” Betsy said, nodding approval at Karma.

She smiled back, then hesitantly tilted her head and stared at Psylocke for a moment before daring to ask, “So… Do you want to tell us the story of how you ended up like… that?” She gestured towards the nudity.

Betsy took a slight step back. Normally she wouldn’t care much about others seeing her body, but the story behind fucking a **** controlled Gambit with Dazzler was a little more awkward to explain.

“Hrrnngh… I’d also love to hear how you two ended up riding the enemy like a beast with two humps!” Bling said, rubbing her head as she slowly came to.

“I suppose we have time now,” Betsy sighed. “But first, let me put something on that’s marginally less revealing… I’d best rouse Alison so she can do the same…”

Roxy went over to check on Hisako while Dani looked over Illyana. Betsy got Alison back to her feet and they both went into the next room where they had taken off their clothes. This left Xuân to guard the prisoner under her control. Deep in the back of her mind she heard a voice chuckling softly.

“You will all make excellent brides…” it whispered in an echoing tone.

“I’m in control,” Karma asserted, holding Gambit still.

“Hey… should we put some clothes on him?” Roxy wondered. Hisako checked him out but said nothing for or against the suggestion.

“I don’t even know where his clothes are…” Xuân shrugged.

“I’m guessing where Psylocke and Dazzler went to get dressed?” Hisako suggested.

The two senior X-men exited the dorm room in full costume, feeling much more comfortable now that they were clothed again. Karma took Gambit’s body into the room to get dressed as Psylocke took her aside in person.

“If you need assistance maintaining control, I might be able to reinforce your hold through a psionic bond,” she told the Viet.

“Thank you,” Xuân replied, “But you should rest after your battle. I have him under control.”

Psylocke nodded and rejoined the others.

Karma smirked ruefully as she left.
