::picking up Spellbinder's screamed communication...Guardian already knew what to do next. She knew Shockwave was not doing so well and in this circumstance, she'd need a visual indicator in order to effectively use her power::


::ghostly scrying pool shimmers into view directly in Shockwave's visual path::

SHOCKWAVE!!! that is the source of the power......your own power can travel through the fiber optics of this wall..and be more effective than my teke.......shut it down so that Morgan can get us out of here!!


:: the chamber kept spinning...with no signs of letting up...keeping all the women pinned against the walls...::
 
:: Alexis' blonde hair whipped in front of her face, making it difficult for her to see the scrying pool Guardian made in front of her. Hearing Guardian's words, with all her might, she managed to slowly flip her right hand over so her palm touched the wall. Channeling all her energy, soon electricity shot from her palm and absorbed into the wall now traveling to the source of the devise. Unfortunately, not only did the electricity travel to the devise, but it soon reached each woman and began to electrocute them as well. Feeling like they were in an electric chair, the electricity ran throughout their bodies. ::

:: The lights began to flicker and a very loud buzzing noise could be heard in the hollow room, until finally, the devise short circuited and the spinning motion of the room began to slow. Stopping the electrical pulses, she knew the others would be pissed at her for giving them a jolt...but it was worth it because the make shift amusement ride was stopped. ::

:: But soon, the gravity began to lessen, and Alexis began to slip inch by inch. The more the room slowed, the less gravity was being forced upon Alexis' body...therefore not keeping her on the wall. Looking down, the bottomless pit began to inch closer...well if it wasn't one problem...it was another..::
 
AGH!!

<< Spellbinder felt the jolt through her body....it was very unpleasant...and as the chamber began to slow....not only was spell a bit dizzy and winded..but now her body was aching from the spasm of the electricity>>

What the hell is the matter with you!?

<< she bellowed at Shockwave...>>

we wanted you to take out the power supply...not subject us to electro shock therapy!


<< The room slammed to a halt and everyone began FREE FALLINGdown the pitch black, bottomless pit!>>

<<sigh>> well at least we dont have to worry about being caught in the spin cycle anymore!!
 
"Yeah, sorry about that."

:: Trying not to laugh...this was really not the time or place, but Spellbinder's reaction was hilarious to Alexis. But soon, Alexis became serious again as the entire room came to a complete hault....with her blue eyes widdening, she soon dropped from the wall and began to free fall from into the darkness. ::

"This would be a fantasic time for one of your stepping disc's, Morgan!"

:: Alexis yelled as they continued to decend to god knows what. ::
 
** Foxfire's tactical plan seemed to work as Spellbinder yelled out to Guardian who aided Shockwave. Shutting her eyes, Blaze began to feel uneasy and nauseous from the furious spinning they were tortured to. Easing each breath out, she listened to the interaction between the women. An unusual electrical current caught her attention just as she opened her eyes, a jolt of electricity shot through Blaze. Her body shook and her hair frizzed with shock. The pain hadn't been much for her healing factor but it was enough to send unsteady tremors through Foxfire. **

** Just as the jolt ended, another problem arose. Blaze's fingertips scratched at the cold metal walls trying to gain some sort of footing or grip. But all she could do was fall downward towards that pit. She could only hope, Spellbinder or Guardian could rescue them at this point. **
 
:: Guardian was visibly agitated with Shockwave for the jolt...but there was no time for bickering. as they were all hurtling down the dark shaft....::


We'll land in an area uncharted by Black Widow's maps....but once there we will face a veritable gauntlet of trials........Black Widow and Prophet are ALIVE!?

:: she was shocked at the detection of those two....almost peeved::

we'll find them once we deal with Titan and the rest of our welcoming committee!
 
<< Spellbinder felt a bit ill...a she fell down the dark shaft.....>>


there's no telling how soon we'll hit the floor....


<< in the twinkling of the sorceress' eye, a large stepping disc opened horizontally quickly catching all four women before snapping shut. with the speed of thought the disc teleports them and reopens down ...down on solid ground...and all for women fall out through the disc..with Shockwave closest to the ground....causing her to fall right on her face into a pile of sand>>


<< Spell lands on her feet>>

oops....so sorry about that rough landing there shockwave.<< she smirked>> but if not for you...we wouldnt have gotten out of that chamber.

<< there now in an area that seemed "abandonned" area of the bio systems lab....dark, and even a cobweb or two...with broken incubation tubes...and small computer consoles in various spots..and a pulsating hum of energy in the air>>

is this where we are supposed to be!? where are Black Widow and Prophet? I suppose we better get to them before Imagiomg does.....
 
:: Continuing to free fall, Alexis really didn't like the idea of not knowing when they were going to hit the ground, but before she could say anything, all the woman were sucked into a stepping disc. As quickly as they were in the air, they were on the ground. But of course, Morgan was being a vindictive ass and made Alexis fall closer to the ground, therefore the meta human landed hard on her stomach in a pile of sand. Coughing, she sat up shaking her head to remove some sand that was in her hair. Shifting her eyes upward, she narrowed them at Spellbinder. Rolling her eyes, Alexis pushed herself up off the ground knowing she was being sarcastically catty and lowered the stepping disc on purpose. ::

"Well...you aren't the cherry on my sundae of life either..."

:: Standing, Alexis brushed off the sand from her metallic blue suite, and began to glanced around the area in which they were in. ::
 
** She held her breath while they fell, holding it for when she really required it. Just then however a stepping disk caught her and the others transporting them to safety. As the disk opened, Fox fell out of it landing skillfully like a black cat on her feet. Crouching down she stood up to see the others all around her. But it seemed Shockwave was content with eating the dust bunnies off of Spellbinder's boots instead. A giggle sounded deep within her throat until she saw the look of annoyance on Alexis' facial expression. These two highly amuse me! She thought to herself while dusting off her armor and fixing her frazzled hair. **

** Foxfire kept quiet for now, gathering back her strength and her wits from that unnerving trip the group had taken. Unfortunately she didn't have a lock on Black Widow or Prophet because she never had met them. So finding them would be more difficult for her. Smelling the air, she turned her head to the side, it smelled like an old cellar down there. Cobwebs were located all around. With just a plane thought, two solid lasers shot from Foxfire's eyes heading infront of them to light the way while the others recovered. The lasers traveled through the open space of the area until they collided with a wall where it sparked and flickered like a flare. **
 
Imagiomg confronting Black Widow and Prophet

**rushing water is heard as the giant figure of Imagiomg appears.**

Worrying about the women and who among them may try to kill you is the LEAST of your problems, insolent whelp!

**Imagiomg blocks the path of Black Widow and Prophet as he bowls them both off their feet**

you were allowed to escape the control room...but neither of you possess the power to escape the citadle. only your team teleporter would provide hope of that But she and her confidant, Guardian seem to be more keen on killing you than saving you
 
The Catacombs of the Bio Systems Labs

:: landing gracefully herself, Guardian immediately took stock of her surroundings::

we arent safe here...not that we were any where else...Imagiomg is using his magick to alter reality around us. distorting our perception. That's why Foxfire cant get a fix on the other two..and why my precognition is being hampered. He's clouding my sense of temporal threads and spatial perception.

Titan and a troop of creatures are closing in on us......we need to make short work of them and fight our way to the Control Room....If we go this way..:: pointing to the north passage way we can blast our way through the creatures and gain "back door" access to the ground of the "control room of the lab"....granted ....it is highly likely that once we get there Adam and Christopher will be in the booth high above.....ready to hit us with an onslaught...but my perception of probable time threads is so clouded right now.
 
<< adjusting her corsette, Spellbinder listened to Guardian. it was true...the space around them felt "odd"...everything seemed bigger, the halls longer and generation impressions were just darker, fuzzier..almost like she was in a dream state>>

how is it...that we've moved to three different locations...and yet the creatures are still closing in? it MUST be this Imagiomg....well, we cant just stand here..none of us knows just where we are...so ...i guess we better move in the direction Guardian pointed.

keep your guard up everyone. i doubt adam and chistopher are ignorant as to our powers.. they probably have some scenarios tailor made for us as we gain access to their nerve center.....

Does anyone beside me think that we will be greeted by Prophet and Black Widow? i have a feeling that those two are probably not dead....and if they DID die they have been restored and are now in the service of MysTech...in which case...they must be destroyed as well.

<< her voice was cold and matter of fact...as she began to lead the way>>
 
Haleigh Davidoff: Bio-Systems Level

Haleigh scarfed down her own chips, moving on to the second bag quickly. She paused to open her can of soda, laughing with Cameron.

"Oh, she'll be livid. I can't WAIT."

She said micheivously, as she tried to open her can. She pulled the metal tab off... and frowned, getting up to get another can from the vending machine. She looke dat Cameron as he mentioned how things had changed... and nodded, speaking rather softly as she reached for another can.

"Yes... the development with your sister. You think she knew, Cameron? You think she knew when she left us to the Ant Lions? Could her heart be blacker than mine?"

She asked, as she pulled the tab off a second can. "WHAT the FUCK??" She exclaimed, frustrated. "One thing is for DAMN sure... the NEXT person to try to kill me is going to sorely regret it... for the rest of what pitiful, mangled life i leave them with." Haleigh knew Cam felt the same way. Haleigh turned to look at Im... that sound of rushing water was all too familiar. Haleigh gave another laugh... one hand still on the rim of the soda vendor, closing tightly around it such that her fingers made dents in the metal.

"Well YOU havent been paying much attention, have you hun? Wonder Girl and the Model Spectacular have been trying to kill us since we set foot in this god forsaken hole-in-the-floor. You know WHAT? I think I've had just about enough of you, motherfucker."

Haleigh had one advantage... Imagiomg and Adam couldn't possibly be aware of the mutations caused by the TO virus... in fact... she could only imagine they expected the procedure to kill her... and though Haleigh herself was still discovering her newfound abilities... Im would be taken quite offguard. Haleigh used that... and she quickly picked up the soda machine and hurled it at Im.

"What'dya think of THAT, bitch?" :hehe:
 
Imagiomg-The Bio Systems Lab

**Imagiomg's eyes glowed a solid white**

I think you're a silly little girl, who does not know when she is hopelessly out matched

**at the last possible moment....before either Black Widow or Prophet could react, Imagiomg switched places with Prophet via spacial shift. even if Prophet errected some type of barrier, the force of the soda machine slamming into him would do him extreme injury**

your transformations will not change the outcome of this battle, woman. Do you really think that any creature to emerge from the Gene Splicer would be able to stop the power of MysTech?

**Imagiomg lifts his skeletal hand slightly, and strange shapped halo forms around it. the halo is composed of a shimmering blue/white energy. He snaps his finger and the halo forms around Haleigh's head before radiating down and THROUGH her body...igniting a Soul Flare....a violent piercing pulse of astral magick that slices through to the core of her being so fast and so harshly...that it causes her vision to blur**

you have no comprehension of the abilities you now posses, and i intend to make sure you do not live long enough to use them. You will be taken BACK to the control room...where your supposed Allies are about to arrive...and there you ALL will be dealt with

**Imagiomg wanted to destroy her utterly, but that was not the order he was given. He was to recapture them and bring them back to the control area of the Bio Systems lab.**
 
:: Cameron pondered Haleigh's thoughts for a moment wondering if in fact Alison did know they were brother and sister, but he didn't think she did. He would have been able to sense at least something from her, Seer or not. Just when the moment had lightened for a minute the sound of rushing water could be heard and it was a sound Cameron had dreaded. Thankfully, the rest and food had charged him up, he was still not nearly at his full strength. He watched as Haleigh, with even more confidence than before stood up to the Demon Mage. He watched Black Widow pick up the Soda Machine and hurled it at Im as if it was a sack of potatoes. Cameron stood to his feet before he found himself in the path of the Soda Machine himself and the mage in his exact space. As he was only seconds away from impact he did the only thing he could as he tried to grab somewhat of a Telekinetic hold on the machine as he lifted his own protective shields. The combination of the forcefield along with his own hold on the machine, caused it to slow, though it still smacked into him, and though it hurt, Cameron was now running on adrenaline. He was sick of being Mystech's BITCH tonight and he wasn't going down without a fight. As the machine slowed, he saw the Mage concerned with Haleigh as he used his own powers to telekinetically lift the machine in the air and hurl it back at the mage as he was still concerned with Haleigh and would most likely not think of Cameron attacking him back. Quickly, Prophet created an astral clone of himself as he stood in the corner of the room. He hoped when the soda machine hit it would knock his concentration and at least stop the attack on Haleigh. ::

"Man, if you really want us to constitute the Six, then by all means, take us to our Destiny, Imp!"

:: It didn't make sense for the Mage to want to put all of the Six in a room together when that is what they had been doing ever since they all arrived. Separating them and trying to kill all of them. Maybe they should think about that. They haven't been able to kill anyone out of the group. Each one had faced some kind of trouble and they had made it through. Someone was protecting the Six tonight and now it was up to them. ::

"My thinking is Six against 1, maybe 2, the odds are in our favor!"

:: This was the Cameron that everyone was used to seeing, the one that got under your skin faster than anyone you had ever met. The cocky, arrogant, son of a bitch, who took orders from nobody and could care less how powerful you were. He couldn't be defeated. Cameron was tired of playing around and being scared tonight. Prophet was back, and ready for action. ::
 
:: Brushing the last of the sand off, Alexis listened to both Guardian and Spellbinder chat about this Imagiomg person and how it was yet another obstacle for them to get passed. Letting a soft sigh escape her lips, what she wouldn't give for a nice warm bubble bath and relaxing music right about now. Then something Spellbinder said caught her attention...about how Adam and Christopher weren't ignorant to their powers. Shifting her eyes downward, ohhh they had no idea. Adam taught Alexis everything she knew---from the time she was just a child, he was sculpting her into his little killing machine. Adam knew as much about Alexis' powers...if not more, than Alexis herself. ::


:: Slowly following the others, thoughts continued to run throughout Alexis' mind about seeing her father again for the first time. She knew this was exactly why she was here...to kill her father. To maim him beyond recognition. To stop him and his partner Christopher. But Alexis began to have doubts....Soon Alexis stopped in her tracks. ::


"I can't do this.."

passionately stubborn

** Like the loyal soldier she was, Foxfire listened to both Guardian and Spellbinder with a sparkle in her eyes. This new creature Guardian spoke of was alluring to Blaze, it seemed full of power and knowledge of the black arts, shuttering to herself with a smirk. Walking with the others with quick wide steps, Blaze took measure in her new surroundings, she was itching for a good battle. Lifting her left palm, taking it into her right palm before a sickening crunch was heard, Blaze had a habit of cracking her knuckles ever since she was a teenager. That stubborn nature of hers was always evident but at times more so than ever. However, while in her own sense of fighting state, Blaze's ears casually listened to Shockwave's last sentence. Narrowing her eyes, Blaze cartwheeled over towards Alexis so fast provided her agility it caught Alexis off guard. With one forceful yank, Blaze pulled the manipulator towards her face, mere inches from hers. Her eyes full of flaming imprints while her tone was lethal. **

"Suck it up Alexis! Stop being the insecure little girl I pegged you for and show us what passion you really posses! You've come so far yet your going to back down now?! Where is that spark I saw within you!"

** Blaze was clearly provoking Alexis, but it was her own harsh way of motivating her. Her fingers released the front tip of Shockwave's new battle suit but her form was clearly still standing into Alexis. Obviously Blaze was probably the most stubborn and pig headed of the whole bunch of the Six. She wouldn't allow any teammate to back out now just as she wouldn't leave either. **

"We've come so FUCKING far Alex, don't disappoint me now!"

** Blaze's chest expanded with each heavy breath, her fiery temper beginning to let lose slowly but she did so on purpose. She knew Alexis would lash back at her, it was who she was. But Blaze also knew the blue eyed beauty would also partially listen to her. **

"You have a destiny with this team, do not end your fate."

** Foxfire's own words were cryptic and mysterious, a quality she often possessed. Her statements were sought in riddles and only the clever and cunning could figure them out. And she knew Alexis could but if only she desired. **
 
:: Suddenly Alexis was grabbed by Blaze, being shook and yelled at. Alexis didn't say anything. She didn't even bother looking up at Blaze...something very uncharacteristic of the meta human. Finally, Alexis looked up at the woman, her eyes quickly fading from blue to white, before she pushed passed Blaze to continue with the group. Alexis' didn't bother to say another word to anyone in the group, as they continued to walk to their destiny. ::
 
** It was Blaze who was surprised at Shockwave's actions, she at least expected her to comment but nothing? Blinking her eyes twice, making sure this was not a dream. What was up with Alexis? Blaze couldn't be sure but it certainty unnerved the mutant. Usually Alexis was known for her own set of catty comments but not a word was spoken. What is up with her? The enigma asked herself when she was greeted by a push towards the others, Blaze quickly stumbled but found her balance in mere seconds. Straightening up her pose she knew the meta human wasn't going to budge, perhaps Guardian or Spellbinder would talk some sense into her. **

** Although Foxfire hadn't known Shockwave for long, she sensed the girl was troubled. Placing both hands behind her back while standing firmly, Fox sighed heavily. Blaze at times resembled that soldier, willing and ready to fight. Her eyes locked onto Alexis for a few more seconds until Blaze broke the contact, noticing the change in shade from blue to white. An inkling to her demeanor perhaps? Blaze wasn't sure but she also seemed to be getting no where with her teammate. Turning at the waist, she followed the others carefully, her lost in her own thoughts. **

This metahuman is intriguing but what is she running from? Perhaps its her past or maybe even her father, Adam? Although some demons you must face alone I'm sure...

** Maneuvering her hands to around infront of her, pressing her fingertips together in a triangle position. It was Blaze's own stance of comfortably. Such a pose was practiced by monks or gypsy's. This was the final installment of the test, either Shockwave followed the team or she disbanded. It was her chose and deep down not even Blaze could force or change that. Her own thoughts centering onto their other teammates, listening to Spellbinder's question. Blaze herself sensed and lingered onto the two she hadn't met, Prophet and Black Widow. **

"I think they are both alive but I doubt they will harm us....unless provoked. And I doubt they have been brainwashed, if anything they are the bait to our own trap. Adam and Christopher are holding them captive just like me. I'm sure they have already run tests but judging from the reports I read on both of them, they should be able to cancel or nullify any tests done or harmed to them. Guardian and Spellbinder, you two will be seen as a threat for leaving them...whether you did this for good measure or not. Be on the guard with them, their emotions will overcloud their judgment. They will be unsure of me....because I am your sister, Morgan but also because they haven't met me. Their feelings on me could be indecisive, I'm unsure."
 
sub basement(north passage): bio systems lab

<< Spellbinder stretched as she walked...>>

you're probably right Fox. You were always intuitive as to the nature of people...you can gauge how hostile they are or may become. I on the other hand feel more comfortable blasting first...asking questions later.

Judging by what Ororo said, Guardian left Black Widow and Prophet in some kind of lurch a while back. I dont know what happened....as i wasnt there...BUT i do know that those two had been provoking her all night. Guardian is a good woman. She was there for me when i grieved during your "loss", Blaze. She's been instrumental to helping me bring Illustra back from the brink....and look at all she has done tonight....she nearly laid her life down for us to prevent Black from destroying us.

I dont care what those two have to say...I'm NOT letting them attack Alison....even now...she is HELPING us to find them. We all make mistakes..and I'm sure that her anger was what motivated her to leave them behind.

<< Spellbinder clenched her fist....she wanted Black Widow to give her an excuse to knock her block off....they had been at odds most of the night...but Ororo's words rang in her head...they HAD to lay aside their differences...and work together>>
