Ororo within the citadle

::Ororo stood up from her seat...and quickly moved over to Erika and the bed.::

Ororo: quickly child...deactivate the spell and pull yourself together! traveling to the realm of spirits is not an easy task for ANYONE.

::sitting down on the bed, as she smoothly sweeps her cape to the side, Ororo checks the newly revived Alison and her vital signs::

be calm, child. You have just returned to the realm of the living. :: smiling warmly to the bewildered alison:: and you have your sister, Erika to thank for it. Welcome back.

::looking at Erika:: you have remarkable strength and courage young one. Your serenity is your strength, but let this be your first lesson in seeing how to EMBRACE the darker elements of that serenity. You CAN accomplish what must be done... without compromising the integrity of your soul. I learned that...the hard way.

::Erika did not know of Ororo's own past...how she came to be this elegant sorceress and mentor to so many from different times. But unknown to Erika....she would HAVE the opportunity to learn that..and more::

:: as she allowed Erika and Alison to interact, Ororo stood up...feeling the foundation of her citadle and her garden tremble...there was a tremendous flux of power in the realm of Limbo...a harsh tearing of time and space....::

spellbinder....it has begun. the invasion of NYC is at hand!
 
Cameron: Ororo's Garden

:: Cameron was turning in his somewhat half awake and half asleep state. Suddenly his mind began to fill with images. Flashes of NYC with hordes of demons, biting and chewing away at the flesh of the people. He saw a young child and moutainous platteaus and hills uprising and uprooting the mighty skyscrapers. It looked like Hell on Earth. He could hear a loud and stereophonic laugh in the background. It was Morgan. He shot up. His rest had pretty much left him mobile though his powers were still weak as he stood up from the ground to hear the end of Blaze's speech. ::

"Blaze.. I saw it.. I saw what she is doing. We have to get Ororo. We have to stop this now! I saw the demons killing and murdering the people, even young children. It has to stop.. We need to set all pettiness aside. We have to work together. Only the unified power of the Six will be ANY chance to stop it.. Come ON! We can't just sit here!"

:: Prophet turned to Haleigh and picked her up from the ground as they both dusted their hands off. He turned back to the group and looked extremely worried. ::

"We may have brought on this wave of destruction but instead of placing the blame somewhere why don't we stop what we have helped create. We need to save the city and keep Morgan alive..."

:: Everyone was shocked at what he was saying. Cameron was actually entertaining that killing Morgan WASNT the best way to deal with all of this. That was a sign of extreme growth in character on his part as he usually used killing Morgan as a solution to all problems. ::

"Do you think Ororo and the others will be done soon? We don't have much time.. My premonition told me it was now.. or in the next few minutes..."
 
Erika King: Citadle

< Erika held her sister in a warm but brief embrace as both were thrown back into their physical bodies with Alison flying up in her bed and Erika pulling herself off of the floor. Immediately she stood up and closed her fists as the Static like field within the Citadle faded and the blue vortex shut with a flash of bright light. She began to cough and get reoriented into her body as he was sighing heavily, her chest heaving up and down. She looked at Ororo. >

"Ororo.. Thank you for your words.. I would not have been able to do this without your guidance..It felt good to have control of that darkness..to not let it hurt anybody..."

< She quickly changed the subject. >

"But I am just glad we have Alison back. <places hand on her sister's shoulder> I was so afraid I had lost you Alison. Never do that to me again."

< Erika watched as Ororo was stepped back as it seemed the Citadle was rumbling for a moment. She wasn't sure exactly what was going on but Ororo seemed to. She announced that Spellbinder had been successful. It had begun. Limbo was rising to the Earth. >

"We must get the others!!"
 
** Trying to relax, Blaze kept her eyes straight ahead. She knew it was just a matter of time. Cameron's thrashing caught her attention when he sat up abruptly. Blaze saw the same horror mirrored in her own eyes. She felt it and it was obvious he saw it! **

"I can't imagine having to visualize it....but we should wait. I know you want to speak with Ororo but she instructed us not to disturb her. I think we should wait....she'll need all the concentration she can get with Erika while they tend to Alison."

** Walking over to Cameron, she was much shorter than he was. So of course she had to strain her neck unlike Morgan who was eye level with him. Sighing heavily, Blaze kept her eyes locked with Prophet. She didn't care if he probed her mind or looked into her future. For once she didn't mind at all. **

"I think this group has made a decision then...we stay together and help those people..."

** Glancing over to Alexis and then Haleigh, both of them shared the same agreeable look. With a nod, she turned to Cameron. She did owe Cameron an apology....and now was the time to do so. Biting down on her lower lip, she sucked in another breath. **

"I'm sorry Cameron....I was so quick to judge you like my sister. I didn't really see behind your mask....until now. If we make this out...then I would like to start over....maybe even now...if its not too late."

** Reaching out her left palm, Blaze extended it to shake hands. Her way of a peace offering to what had erupted in the past and now present. Cameron was the last and probably the most she owed an apology to. She had nothing to lose....at least he would know her sorrow. **
 
:: Cameron was a little weary to accept Blaze's apology. After everything they had been through. She was still connected to Morgan and that was a rough spot for him. It was pretty much the biggest reason that Alison and himself didn't get along. He went back and forth in his head before he slowly extended his hand as a sign of gratitude. He had nothing to lose either. She obviously was reaching out to him and if he had learned anything through this it was not to cut loose the people who were trying to be there for him. Before long both of their hands were embraced in a firm handshake ::

"I like the sound of that Blaze..."

:: He took back his hand as he tried to patiently wait for Ororo and the others ::

"This is killing me.. we have to do something..."
 
from the garden...to NYC

::without another word, Ororo lifts her hands...and teleports herself, alison and erika to the expanse of the Garden...with the others::


Gather yourselves together. We now prepare to venture into the heart of profound darkness. Goddess grant our powers are sufficient to save the citizens and protect each other. no matter what happens ...we must stay together! Your task is spelled out clearly...mine...unfortunately is not going to be so easy.

::there was a hint of cryptic tone in the last half of her statement..::

::as the winds rose...ororo's hair and cape flowed ...swirling leaves encircled the group as their bodies were enveloped by sparkling green magick..and with a BLAST of thunder...they were teleported from the safety and tranquility of Ororo's garden......to what could only be described as simply HELL ON EARTH as they arrive just STEPS away from Time Square. they could SEE the large, swirling vortex of a stepping disc in the sky....it was shaking..and flickering...but demons continued to fall from the sky...raining down ..crashing onto car's and buildings....as the buildings themselves now took on a more "ancient" stone like appearence and had DEMONIC FACES...all sorts of inanimate objects began to come to evil life...as fires were erupting.....power was fluxuating, people were screaming.... UTTER CHAOS::


::the nightmare gauntlet from HELL was about to BEGIN!::
