<strong>CHARACTER NAME:</strong>Cannonball/Samuel Guthrie<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Outside the crippled X-Jet with a grumpy green giant<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>See Pic<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Psylocke/Rogue/Chamber/X23/ what's left of Deadpool/Hulk/Blue Marvel<br/>(http://uncannyxmen.net/sites/default/files/images/costume/cannonball-bigcostume13.jpg)<br/><br/>Hitting the Hulk was like hitting a mountain.  The Hulk barely moved and Sam pretty much bounced.  It was going to take teamwork to take down the Hulk, especially when the rage fuel monster was using tactics and turning the X-Men into projectiles to use against them.  X23's claws weren't going to hurt Sam; they couldn't penetrate his blasting field.  Laura would bounce off and spend a few precious seconds rolling on the ground trying to stop before re-entering the frey.  Those few seconds could spell the difference between victory and death fighting the Hulk.<br/><br/>So Sam's decision was made.  Instead of trying to evade the Hulk's missile, he deliberately caught her.<br/><br/>"This is mah version of the 'Fastball Special'," he said, rolling over and catching Laura just under the arms.  He accelerated away from the Hulk, describing a huge inverted loop as he gathered speed.  "Ah call it the 'Drive-By Special' for obvious reasons.  Ah hope you like rollercoasters."  Laura didn't have much chance to venture her opinion as to whether she liked them or not, because Cannonball was screaming towards the Hulk's back at just under the speed of sound.   Sam extended his blasting field to protect Laura from the impact and the friction but X-23's claws were about to do terrible things to the creature that used to be the Hulk.<br/><br/>"Ah'm goin' to break the sound barrier just as Ah pass him,"  he said to Laura and also to the rest of the X-men or at least whichever of them were tuned in to his radio frequency.  "The noise should maybe stun him for second or two, if the good Lord smiles on us.  Ah just hope Ah can hold onto you when we hit."<br/><br/><em>He's going to do to Chamber what he did to Deadpool if we don't stop him.  If he gets his hands on me, my blasting field will protect me, so I'm the safest one to take him on.  If it comes right down to it, I'll take him out into orbit, so long as I can figure out where I'm going with my head half way down his throat.....</em><br/><br/><br/><br/>
