Episode 5: Understanding

                                    

                                          
A rumble shook the building. A mug rolled onto the floor and shattered. Jean was able to stop anything else from falling to the floor with her powers, but she felt something was off.
"Was that an Earthquake?" Piotr asked.
Logan drew his claws. "No that felt off." An explosion went off outside. "What the hell's goin' on out there?!" Illyana appeared before them. 
"Quickly!" She yelled. "There is something outside. Something... big."
They all quickly rushed outside.
----------------------
"Whoa." Psylocke felt the rumbling from the hangar. She quickly used her telepathy to see if anyone else saw what happened. Looking through Jubilee's eyes, she saw it. A large robot of sorts. 
"Bloody hell is that?!" she quickly ran out the hangar.
----------------------
"HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!" Jubilee shouted as she was flung into the air by her own explosion. It was the only method she could use to dodge the machine's attack. The large mechanical man was silver with bluish armor. It didn't really have much of a face, just two glowing eyes. It was rather clunky as well. The robot charged another blast, Jubilee quickly charged one of her own and threw it to counter, causing a large explosion in midair, just before she realized she was falling fast.
"Oh crap!" she exclaimed as she began to plummet before being caught in midair. She looked up to see that Laura had caught her. "Thanks."
The mechanical being raised its arm for another attack. Seemingly out of nowhere, Wolverine jumped in, plunging his claws into its legs and slashing across. "You two kids alright?"
"We didn't need your help." Laura said.
"I'm pretty sure we did." Jubilee commented. 
The robot got back up as more of the adults came rushing out.
"Whoa." Scott said. "You're right, that is big." He quickly charged an optic blast and fired it off, but it was ineffective. 
The wind picked up as Storm's whitened. Lightning zapped around her body, radiating light as she struck the robot with large bolt of lightning. The large sound of thunder made both Laura and Logan flinch at the noise. The robot was barely affected.
Jubilee was in shock at how little both attacks did. "What's this thing made of?!" She began to create a plasma bomb to strike the robot with, but Jean stopped her and used her telekinesis to try and tear it apart.
"It's tough!" Jean struggled. The robot was unable to move, but something about it was difficult to fight. "I can't hold it for long!"
"Illyana!" Piotr yelled for his sister as his entire body solidified into steel and he punched the robot's other leg, bending it. 
"I got him!" Illyana conjured armor and a sword. She teleported on top of the robot and plunged a large sword into its back, slashing it downward. "There's more!" A large energy blast radiated from her sword. Jubilee was in awe. What powers did she not have? The robot was still operating.
"That should have finished it!" Illyana exclaimed in shock. 
"Jean!" Cyclops yelled. "Can you take this thing apart?" He looked over to her. Blood was streaming out of her nose.
"I can't hold it much longer!" Jean yelled, the pain echoing from her voice.
Jubilee didn't know what else to do. She generated a large amount of plasma and began throwing it at the robot, the small energy bombs exploding on contact. A large purple blast of energy struck the robot. Jubilee looked behind her to see Psylocke, in her full mission outfit, the red ribbon around her waist flowing in the wind.
