:: While attacking Black Widow, suddenly chained cuffs appeared around Persephone's ankles. With Haleigh's pull over metal, the chains pulled forward and swept Persephone's feet out from under her, as she hung in the air above the ground. And with one blunt kick to the head, Haleigh had knocked her out. ::
:: Minutes passed as the goddess continued to hang unconcious above the ground. Only the shrieking of the snake Morgan and Karen had just killed alarmed her awake. With blurred vision, she could see the outline of the massive creature falling in the distance. Closing her eyes tightly in pain, winds whipped around Persephone's body as she disappeared from Haleigh's shackles and reappeared standing feet away. ::
:: Blood seeped from the various bullet wounds around Persephone's body, along with a trickle of blood that ran down the side of her cheek from Haleigh's kick to the head. Still feeling the desire to attack Haleigh, suddenly it all came to a screetching stop at the scene that began to play out afar. With wide eyes, Persephone watched AGAIN in absolute HORROR as the floor beneth Karen shot up from under her and turned into huge jaws! The jaws slammed shut around Karen, crushing and killing her instantly! ::
:: Screaming out in agony, Persephone dropped to her knees, grasping her head in horror. ::
"NOOOO!!!"
FLASH
:: Screams filled Ororo's apothecary as the powerful goddess was impaled to death. Karen's body laid limp within massive jaws. ::
"STOP!"
FLASH
:: Her sister wraith, Alessandra, laid bloodied afar, her head half way sliced off and tilted sickeningly to the side, exposing her severed spine. Titania brutally maimed, laying in a slump along the massive book shelves. Brenthon's battle attire laying among ashes; the only remainings of his body. ::
:: Persephone's face was flushed stark white as she hunched over, clenching her head in pain. Desperately trying to stop the flashback memories of her friends murders. ::
"NOT AGAIN! NOT--"
FLASH
:: Screetching and screaming. Power surges and explosions. A blur of choas filled the massive room as each member of her coven continued to fall. Elektra, Morpheus, Ikaris. Everyone dead. Everyone brutally murdered. Karen's body lip and battered. Ororo bloody and dead. EVERYONE she loved murdered. The once beautiful and vibrant room now filled with blood, pain, and loss. ::
--
:: The sight of Karen dying had LITERALLY rocked Persephone to the core. In a way she had NEVER experienced before. In a way that no one on this team had ever SEEN the goddess before. She was strong, brutal, and cold. A logical thinker, and never one to allow her emotions to overtake her state of mind and being. But something snapped within her once seeing Karen murdered AGAIN. Everything that was internalized once awaking from her 25 year 'sleep'. Everything emotionally that had been pushed back into her subconcious; the pain, grief, anger, resentment, guilt, hate. It all resurfaced in that one moment. ::
:: Persephone's eyes were shut tight, even now refusing to let tears fall. Heaving in labored breaths of air, the goddess' blood began to boil. Slowly lifting her body from the it's hunched over position, she slowly moved her hands down the sides of her face. Persephone's eyes snapped open, black and burning with rage, she glared with absolute contempt through Morningstar's protective sheild to Malice.....NOW, they would find out WHY Persephone was so feared in her timeline...... ::
--
:: A tornado of winds circled around Persephone's body as she DISAPPEARED from Morningstar's protective sheild and reappeared next to Spellbinder and Guardian. Although still wounded from the altercation with Haleigh, adreniline pumped thoughout the goddess' body masking the pain completely. She would not stand back and do nothing, she was going to MURDER the woman who brought the Dire Wraith's into this timeline. She was going to take her out and make her pay for killing Karen! ::
:: Blackened eyes glared at Malice. Her hands clenched into fist. It was all out WAR now. ::
