Thread: BRAVE NEW WORLD BATTLE Who: The X-Men, the Brotherhood, and NPCs for all sides When: Early morning Saturday, March 15 and moving into March 16, 2008 -- this battle will last at least two actual days, maybe longer, which will account for any "frozen" time if the thread stalls the rest of the game----this is a battle of such importance that it would make no sense if it only lasted one day. Where: Washington, D.C. What: The battle for governmental power in America begins! For the detailed battle plan, please see the OOC post about it. Characters not on the list who choose to show up can show up... whatever :) but the plan is there to keep people's heads from exploding.

No one could have expected it would be like this.
There were news reports coming in that there were mutants attacking the Brotherhood in other parts of the country. Not everywhere, but key strongholds that no one knew about. They'd been expecting the march on Washington with reinforcements, but they'd never expected all of this. In Washington they were outnumbering the X-Men, sure, but elsewhere? Other bases would fall, no doubt. They just had to hold Washington. Whatever they did, they had to hold Washington.
The siege started just before dawn, with explosions in an empty park-----enough to serve as a distraction while the X-Men and their allies moved in to surround the area as best they could... but after that? After that, it looked like organization died. How could it survive? No one could predict how battles would go, and it seemed like the organized front had now dissolved into individual duels. The Brotherhood killed when they won, but the X-Men seemed to be dragging fallen foes into a forcefield held up by Sue Storm, containing them until... when? Until the battle was over?
