:: Laughing at what a spitfire Blaze was, she couldn't help but smile at how the woman just kept spewing her ridicules comments her way. Did she actually think she was getting under Alexis' skin? Hardly. These were nothing but preschool insults that bounced off Alexis. Although she was slightly getting annoyed at Blaze, this woman was quite entertaining when she wanted to be. ::

"I would figure you could show me a LITTLE gratitude, seeing as how I helped your sister save your life. I could of EASILY left her in those hallways for Black to kill both you and her. But no. I helped her out because I knew what my father done to you. I'm not your enemy Blaze. I'm here for the same damn reason you are---to kill my father and Christopher. So before you spit out more grade school insults at me, remember I'm here to help."

:: This woman was growing on Alexis nerves and really starting to PISS her off. It almost seemed as though Blaze was testing her in some odd way...or possibly pushing her buttons, seeing how far Alexis would allow her to go. If Blaze continued on the route she is going, she'll soon learn that Alexis isn't playing around, or some insecure baby for that fact. ::

<< kneeling down....she took Guardian's head and rested it gently in her lap as Blaze checked her vitals>>

<< in an icy voice>>: i....i've NEVER known Guardian to be caught off guard this way...much less be rendered unconscious. something must've happened here to truly unsettle her. She and Eva certainly could handle themselves with the power between them.. Guardian's in pain...i can feel it. she has a concussion.

<< she waved her hand over Guardian's face , once, twice...as a soft sparkling trail of magick flowed around the unconscious woman's face....restoration magicks undid the damage caused by the concussion. as a chime sounded....Guardian's eyes began to flutter....and soon she gasped for air...coughing>>


<< by now, Shockwave and Foxfire were engaging in their own catty exchange. fire and energy....both wild and chaotic...very similar in many ways....a sharp contrast to the windy, icy loftiness of spellbinder>>

<< in an icy voice>>: shockwave...if not for Guardian..you wouldnt be here to begin with....and unlike you, i am FULLY prepared to die battling Black as long as i take him and Christopher down with me. The difference between you and i is that i might be PERCEIVED as a "superficial" supermodel ...but i am fully prepared tonight to lay down my life....in order to ensure those monsters PAY for what they've done...and to PREVENT anyone ELSE on the surface from enduring the hell that I lived...ever since joining valiant. I wouildve journeyed here...or to the depths of hell...ALONE to save my sister and face Christopher....

throughout this whole caper, you , haleigh and cameon have been actingly a pack of smug, self righteous rabble ....reveling in some false notion that your "stable" and that Guardian and myself are "not". if not for our magicks...you'd be DEAD already sweetie...and rest assured...if anything DOES happen to us...the ONLY other person who would offer you ANY credible assistance is EVA.....seeing as that Cameron and Haleigh are apparently dead..just as Guardian had foreseen.

<<as Spellbinder stands, helps Guardian to her feet>>
 
the office pool

:: Guardian stirred back to consciousness...frowning as she gasped for air and coughed....she felt a relief of pressure in her head as the wounds from the concussion were healed::

uugh...Spell, i...... your back!

:: she stood to her feet with the help of Spell...and put her hand to her temple::

I found a way to Adam and Christopher...we should by pass the trouble on the floors below..but i found something else as well.

::she looked shaken still. CLEARLY she had been unsettled by what she discovered, but she wasnt about to let on to anyone present that she may have found a deeper link between herself and Cameron that she would dare believe possible::

I see you've recovered Foxfire. That's wonderful....but we better get out of here. Black is a mere few feet away...and.....

:: even before she could use her precognition to pinpoint his movement...THERE HE WAS....in front of them all!!! looming over them and flooding the room with a cold, dark unrelenting aura as he wieled a large metallic weapon that looked to be equipped for massive carnage and destruction....his closest target....Shockwave...::
 
:: Seeing Guardian wake up, Alexis was cursing the Gods...WHY WHY WHY!!!! Couldn't that damn woman just go to hell and stay there? But soon, Alexis snapped out of her daydream of Guardian being dead, and came back to reality hearing Spellbinders words. Is this woman for real? Great, fabulous.....fan-fucking-tastic. ::

"If you think for one moment that the thought of me dying tonight hasn't come into my mind, you're mistaken, Morgan. I could of left and hopped onto the first plane to Hawaii at the thought of my father being alive, but NO!"

:: At this point, Alexis was furious. Furious at the fact that Morgan thought so little of her...but could she blame the woman? Alexis was very selfish and snotty...but she did have a heart. ::

"I want him dead as much as you want Christopher dead! And if that means that I'm going to hell tonight in the process, then so be it! Don't think for a minute that I wouldn't die trying to kill my father! What he's done is inexcusable and evil.....and I don't want more innocent people like Eva and Blaze getting poked and prodded and dying because of him! I'M NOT THE HEARTLESS COWARD YOU THINK I AM MOR..."

:: In Alexis' heated state, her eyes turned an eerie pale white....her heart began to face, her hands began to tremble, her voice began to grow louder and louder, until she felt the room go cold. Stopping in mid sentence her breath became shallow...steam could be seen coming from her mouth from the drop in temperature. Turning her head Alexis finally came face to face with Black. Towering over her.....the man was massive....his presents sent chills down Alexis' spine. She knew Black was there to kill all of them, and unfortunately for her....Alexis was closest to him and now most likely his first target. ::
 
:: Black mightly swings his massive sycthe over and around his head in a counter clock wise motion...the blade seems to cause the AIR itself to howl with pain as he comes bearind down on the woman known as Shockwave. The sycthe slams down the chest of her armour....splitting it wide open and causing it to melt. he immediately stepped forward and swung his massive fist into the forced opening of her chest...uppercutting her with such force that she was launched into the air, hitting the ceiling::

::he immediately began to advance forward, about to attack Foxfire::
 
** Foxfire gasped at the hideous sight of Black, that horrible monster had returned. Her green eyes went wide seeing Shockwave assaulted so violently. A hint of passion was expressed in her eyes. Although she didn't know Alexis, she was beginning to enjoy her catty company. It was then that Black turned towards her, she didn't fear him! Using her hatred for him, she rose her hands into the air. **

"You want some of this? Let's play!"

** Backflipping quickly she crouched down low to avoid any of his attacks, using a quick streak of fire made of lightning. It dazzled in a zig zag position but she purposely avoided his body, moving directly towards his mighty weapon. The warmth within the streak of fire made contact with his weapon, she hoped it was enough to perhaps burn his hand or the weapon, just enough for him to drop it and then use it against him! **
 
:: Stammering back, Alexis got the wind completely knocked out of her as the scythe came crashing into her chest. Grunting and gasping for air, before she knew it, she was punched in the same spot, flying into the ceiling above. The entire ceiling around the group came crashing down from the force of Alexis' body hitting it. Crashing to the ground, Alexis was barely conscious....the force of Black's punch broke many of her ribs, making it extremely difficult for Alexis to breath...but thank GOD for what was left of her armor, otherwise her chest would of been completely crushed. ::

:: Blood trickled out the corner of her mouth as she parted her lips taking a slow breath in. Opening her eyes slowly, she saw Black heading towards Foxfire....Slowly Alexis pushed herself up---her arms shook and pain was written all over her face as she moaned in pain.....Lifting her free hand up slowly, Alexis palm began to glow blue. The lights began to flicker, then soon completely shut off. The entire level was in pitch black except for the blue glow from Shock's palm. What looked like bolts of energy began to stream into Alexis' hand...she was gathering all sources of it on this level. The blue glow began to grow bigger and bigger, until finally, the ball of energy began to pulse and spark with bolts of lightning. Alexis cocked her arm back like she was about to throw a football, and threw her harm forward, sending the massive ball of energy hurling at Black. The concussive force of energy could wipe out the entire Empire State Building....but would it even put a dent in Black? She didn't know...but she had to try. Finally the ball hit Black's back, illuminating the entire corridor with a blinding white light....Alexis shielded her eyes with her hand, continuing to watch Black to see if her attack did any damage. ::

<< Spellbinder covered her mouth in horror as Black moved forward unrelenting and attacked Shockwave...a normal human wouldve been killed by the sycthe alone...but Shockwave's metahuman constitution gave her a bit of a MUCH NEEDED advantage in surviving such brutatlity.>>

<< as Shockwave fell hard back to the floor, Spell heard the crack of ribs and could see that Alexis was badly hurt. she knew that her energy attack would have little if any effect on Black......but as Foxfire sprinted forward with a defensive maneuver of her own...Spell seized this opportunity...rushing forward..she knelt down and put her hands under Shockwave's arms>>

you cant prevail against him alexis! he SUCKS UP ENERGY!!

<< amidst the blinding chaos of Alexis' attack, Spellbinder used that as an opportunity to pull Alexis well away from Black to saftey, behind a nearby cubicle>>

lie still....

<< spell kneels in front of her...and holds her hands up extending them forward.....a soft chime and hum is heard as sparkling energy flows around her hands and a silvery glow is seen around Alexis' chest. Spellbinder casts a healing spell...restoring Alexis to full health and repairing all internal damage done by black's attack>>

I can't restore your armor.....but at least now your body is in tact.

<< Spellbinder couldve healed Alexis, Cameron or anyone else EARLIER if she had wanted to, but her disdain for them prevented her from doing so. True, spellbinder thought little of Alexis except that she seemed to be a self absorbed prima donna.....but she wouldnt see ANYONE destroyed by Black..especially someone who had as much at stake here as she did ...with a maniacal father who blighted her path and needed to be destroyed>>

we have to get out of here! the longer we stay...the quicker Black will adapt...

<< spellbinder stood up...she wanted to make sure Foxfire was allright....she immediately lifted up off the ground into the air....to gain the perfect view as the young mutant engaged the large , predatory monster in the second round>>
 
::Black stood steadfast against the coming din of Shockwave's attack. when the display was over, he stood, unfazed....and continued to advance. Foxfire and Spellbinder went to Shockwave's aid. Despite Shockwave's eternal selfishness and ungreatfullness, the sisters still chose to help protect her against the monster::


:: Black was visibly undaunted by Shockwave, he attempted to STOMP on her with his massive foot...but he was interrupted by Foxfire as he suddenly felt a surge of pain in his hand....his metalloid sycthe/blade now glowing orange as it became so painfully hot that not even he could hold it. He dropped it to the ground. and looked at his hand, before quickly looking at his hand. He looked down at the mutant...and showed his teeth in a face of animal like anger as he reached pulled his fist back about to throw a punch that would surely take Foxfire's head off::
 
::Guardian rushed forward::

Foxfire! LOOK OUT!!

:: She thrust her hands forward, like Piper, attempting to EITHER "true freeze" or "temporally freeze" Black in mid movement...but her power had an alarming MINIMAL effect, it only SLOWED Black's movement down to a crawl like pace...but he still kept coming for Foxfire. the sound of a warped temporal field could be heard in the air as Black became slightly blurred and his movement slowed...but his massive form still kept coming for Foxfire::

::Guardian's attack bought just enough time though::
 
Guardian!! perfect timing!!!

<< Spellbinder flew forward and swooped down...the sound of rushing air is heard...as she snatches Foxfire AWAY from Black JUST as he fights through the Guardian's temporal attack......>>


Foxfire!!

<< Spellbinder lands a few feet away from Black as he pulps the area of the floor that he smashes into...leaving a gaping crater. She sets Foxfire down and looks down at her>>

If you dont mind...I'd like to have you around at least A DAY or so after just rescuing you!

<< Spellbinder scolded her sister....it was more of a involuntary reflex on her part....she just didnt want her sister to fall into Black's hands again...but she didnt seem to notice that Black STILL had his surprising vulnerability to Foxfire's fire rooted powers....as he was made to drop his weapon by her>>
 
:: Seeing Spellbinder come to her aid, she wasn't expecting that from Morgan...but hell, she took anything she could get. Wincing in great pain as Spell drug her to the side, she began to cough up blood from her bones digging into lungs...it was getting even more impossible to breath, but luckily Spellbinder cast a healing spell. Closing her eyes for a second as the pain instantaneously went away, before Spell could leave, she grabbed her arm. ::

"Thank you."

:: Letting go, she knew that Spellbinder wanted to go to assist Foxfire. Standing up, Alexis looked around the corner of the cubical to see where Black was. Seeing his slow movement, she knew Guardian had attacked him. Taking this opportunity, she ran around Black and to the other woman. Placing her hand over the gash that was torn into her suite, her black lace bra could be seen, along with bloodstains on her normally flawless skin. ::

"This would be a dandy time to leave now.."
 
** Blaze's green eyes went wide seeing the hulkish Black move in on her. She was ready for him, during her previous battle with him she knew he used more physicality then anything else. But Guardian's frightful call of her name startled Blaze who turned to see the bewitching beauty slowing him down. Foxfire was about to take hold of his weapon when suddenly gravity shifted and Spellbinder rescued her. Narrowing her eyes she listened to her sister for a moment, never taking her eyes off Black. **

"HOLD it! Spellbinder! Shockwave! Guardian! Look at the bigger picture here."

** Foxfire then remembered seeing Black's hand burned slightly from her attack. Her mind connected with Spellbinder's due to their bond. She began to communicate with her sister through a tactical advantage**

Morgan! Listen to me, we cannot leave. He'll only FEED on our fears. Remember his weakness using his weapon against him. And my fire power seems to AFFECT him! Look! If we have Guardian slow him down again, perhaps we could grab his weapon and use it on him?

** Foxfire waved her hands in a counter clockwise position as large massive flames shot up providing a thick furious firewall. The flames warmed Guardian, Shockwave, Spellbinder, and herself. It also helped to light the darkness that Black provided. It would give them time to form a better plan of attack. **
 
<< spellbinder heard her sister through their special rapport...>>

<< sighing as she looked back....>>

Foxfire is right...we can't just retreat...he'll keep coming until we're all dead. Thats just what happened last time. I dont know HOW he survived our battle then....but one thing is certain..we have to think OUTSIDE the box...when attacking him...many of our individual powers might now work...but we each have other powers that will effect the environment AROUND him..and work to our advantage...and he seems to be vulnerable to the flame that Foxfire weilds..just like before.

let's work together..and make one furious strike......and then get down to the bottom level of the citadle to deal with his masters....who are no doubt watching us as we speak!

<< from behind the wall of Flames....Spellbinder communicated her improv idea to the other women>>

When Foxfire lowers her flame, Shockwave...draw his attention by flying around on your energy disc. Guardian can slow him down long enough for Foxfire to get his weapon away from him and use it against him...and then I'll K.O. him with my super strength.


<< this would be far easier said than than done...for although these women were powerful....Black was more than capable of tackling them all at once....they would have to hit hard and fast..and KEEP moving...not resting on their laurels for a second! even now....the flames pushed Black back..he raised his arms with rage and frustration..hitting the ceiling , causing it to shake and large pieces of it to come crashing down....as he kept making attempts to breach the wall of flame....but would recoil with surprised fear at each attempt>>

Foxfire...can you push him back even further...to give Shockwave room to maneuver?
 
"Yes!"

** Blaze's eyes began to glow a haunting yellow tint as her body's armor became engulfed within flames. Her human form was now nothing but flames as she crouched down onto all fours as she now morphed into a large lion with a heavy mane. Releasing a furious roar, Blaze swiped at the fire wall she created, drawing the firewall down. Her large form was large and more powerful then a regular lion. She was just a tad small then Black himself. Pushing her paws off the ground, Blaze began to draw her claws from both paws, and with one mighty swing she attempted to take Black's head off just enough to push him backwards. Her eyes glowed brightly as all of her fire hairs stood on edge. She attempted to pounce on him, hopefully her heavier weight would knock him backwards, if she was lucky. **

** Foxfire had obviously grown in her powers, which now ranged into a variety of shapes, things, and flames. Her eyes determined even in her animal form. She locked her eyes onto Black, the hallway shook with her weight. Almost like two mighty beasts battling for Earth. **
 
:: Black was startled by the violent flames...that coalesced to reveal the large flaming creature that was actually Foxfire::

:: he was bowled by the creature's agressive frontal attack...and staggered backwards..both of them demolishing a few cubicles and other office equipment...as their bodies crashed into many things during their struggle::

::Black finally got his legs up under the flame creature...and pushed up mightly...forcing her off him and sending her sprawling across the floor back toward Spellbinder and the others. he gains hold of his giant, multi edged sycthe....and rises to his feet once more....only now he's further away from the group..giving them more room to prepare for their next attack::
 
** Foxfire was surprised to see her attempt failed but it was too be expected as she skid backwards, her flames following with her. Luckily her fire form did protect part of her. Getting up slowly, she returned to her human form only with her yellow irises this time. **

"All right, that was a good plan but bad execution of it."

** Blaze took off running towards Black with such passion, it probably would have surprised him. Her stubborn nature helped such matters. As she raced towards him, she flamed into her fire form once more but this time she dashed into a baseball slide, hoping to knock the big guy down and that weapon flying. **
 
this creep is MASSIVE...on par with JUGGERNAUT..Foxfire can't hope to bowl him over with her own physicality...even IF she manifests this new aspect of her power! Ive got to try and further unbalance that big lummox!

<< standing tall, Spellbinder gestured..summoning a reverse gust of wind at floor level to try to drag Black forward and throw his balance off...making it easier for Foxfire to topple him and disarm him. the wind sweeps down in reverse flow....blowing smaller lose objects toward Black as it gusts..now down at floor level and flowing upward and violent speeds...Black's body is subject to hurricane force winds...>>
 
:: Black was about to stomp down on Foxfire, but as he lifted his leg up..he was caught off guard by Spellbinder's reverse gust of winds..which unbalanced him and removed his center of gravity but the creature was not a slow, dumb oaf...he'd faced Spellbinder before and knew her capacity for wind control::

::fading out from that spot. he fades back in just a few steps over, flipping a desk over to drop it right down on Foxfire, and dismissing her as he quickly turns. his eyes glowing with annoyance as he begins to advance towards Guardian, Spellbinder and Shockwave. he hurls desks and smashes through cubicles stomping across the floor toward them. Picking up a massive Xerox machine with one hand, he hefts it in the air preparing to hurling it at Shockwave::
 
:: Attacks on both sides were happening extremely fast. Before she knew it, Foxfire was a lion, she was skidding into Black, winds were rushing throughout the corridor, and finally, Black hurled a large desk at Fox. Gesturing her hand out, palm first, a bolt of lightning exploded from her hand, flying straight for the falling desk. Only moments from crushing Foxfire, the bolt made contact and exploded sending desk debris flying everywhere. Unfortunately, none of the attacks from Spellbinder or Foxfire seemed to be slowing Black down....this creature was unbelievable. Quickly, Alexis began to think. Fire seemed to only stop him temporarily....Guardian's freezing power only slowed him, not completely stopping him, and he absorbed energy. Suddenly, an idea popped up into Alexis' mind.....She had no idea whether this would work or not, but it was worth a try. ::

:: Holding her right hand out, Alexis' eyes began to glow white.....dropping her chin down, she peered at Black, concentrating ever so carefully. Finally, a blue ora began to surround Alexis' hand. If Black fed of her energy, why couldn't Alexis do the same thing to him? Shock's hand began to shake as a faint black cloud began to emerge from Black's body....this being his energy. Alexis would not dare to take his life energy into her own body, it would most likely destroy her---but perhaps she could use his own powerful energy against him. The black cloud began to grow bigger and darken in color. The black fog almost seemed as if it were being painfully ripped from Black's body. Alexis' hand shook even more violently as she tried to hold it still......there was no guarantee that this would even work, but she had to try something...otherwise she was helpless to the others. Worse case scenario, she would risk her own life and intake his life energy, ultimately killing her...and hopefully killing him. Alexis continued to watch through white eyes, seeing if this attack was effecting Black....::
