[ Silver Swan was revived and on her feet. She was PISSED that she had dished out such physical punishment to Barbas, using ALL of her physical power , skill and training from the Amazons and yet he survived and tossed her away as if she were NOTHING! ]

[ Still her efforts at least prevented Barbas from consuming Alison and Cameron at once and forced him on another course of action which ultimately lead to him being spit on and then blown up! :D]

[ after thanking Karen, she adjusted her silver eye mask and ran her adamantium armoured hands through her blonde, silver streaked hair. she stretched and was ready for action. anything that came near her [INCLUDING the Zaccharas] would be BADLY damaged by her.]

[ as she listened to Harbinger,speaking about Claudia and her powers she scoffed to Firebird.]

of course...even the powers she has arent her own. everything she has that's of value she stole from someone else. its what her miserable family does best! profit at the expense of OTHERS.

[unlike many others, Sharon was HARDLY moved by what she witnessed in the nightmare of Claudia. The tragedy of a THEN innocent young girl was NO excuse for the amoral actions of a cold, calculating harlot NOW and Sharon STILL felt that Claudia needed to answer for all the pain she caused others, including members of the Six. She knew Claudia's kind. She'd dealt with them on capitol hill and in many other places. Even in moments of extreme distress, a person like that would only cooperate long enough to see their OWN needs fullfilled.]

I trust Harbinger's judgement, but I DON'T trust those two mop heads.

[ still they had a task to do, Sharon could do that, BUT if Clara, Johnny or Claudia tried anything, that was a wrap. Sharon backed Haleigh's PROMISE to kill them fast and HARD if they betrayed the Six in ANY way.]

[ as they stood together and heard the plan, Sharon nodded. moments later, the Arena seemed to grow DARK as fires from beneath hell blasted up. Sharon's sonar and enhanced hearing allowed her to hear the coming Crimson heads.]

zombies...CRIMSON heads...scores of them!

[ the creatures began to attack and Silver Swan and Black Widow were the first ones they'd encounter on theire mad dash! some LEPT into the air though, ready to crash down on members of the team and others tried to run AROUND them to get Harbinger who had Siren,Shadow Weaver and Spellbinder with her.]

[ pointing with a gleaming armoured arm and hand, Silver Swan shouts...]

FORWARD! SHOW NO MERCY!

[ rushing forward and extending her arms, she begins to spin "wonder woman style" faster and faster until she becomes a sparkling white, tall WIND FUNNEL that charges like a tornado across the sands of the arena. Silver Swan begins to unleash her SPINNING STARS, each one differentely shaped from the other but ALL of them just as deady as she spins THROUGH a group of crimson heads and SLICES them to hell! ]

[ the roar of the tornado defies the laughter of Barbas in the air around them as Silver Swan changes her direction with TIGHT accuracy as she takes down several MORE crimson heads. THEY may be stronger than the average zombie but they are no match for Silver Swan! heads AND limbs fly as the mutate leads off the attack!]
 
Nicolas walked off to one side and listened as the team came together with the Zacharras in an uneasy truce. Alison revealed the origin of Claudia's powers. He was not surprised at what her powers were as he had "witnessed" them through the young lady's memories that she had menaced at the studio, but he WAS surprised by what had happened to SASHA, the young lady that Ororo alluded to the night he was called. He raised an eyebrow a bit but otherwise betrayed no emotion at the news. He readied himself for what was to come per Alison's instructions and, as the Crimson Heads emerged from the cracks, Nicolas was already analyzing them and stepping forward.

Bring it on!

Nicolas took a side opposite Sharon, rising above the ground, hands raised. As the crowd rushed toward him, the floor beneath him formed hands similar to his own but MONSTROUSLY huge. These hands scooped up a crown of zombies and slammed together as his hands did so, crushing dozens of the Crimson Heads.

As the floor reset itself on the bodies of the fallen, Nicolas stood atop the newly raised area and pulled his axe. His eyes flashed red as he embraced the carnage to come.

Come to me...
 
Mike nodded as the plan was laid out,as the lines were drawn.

The floor caught on fire and...who really gives a damn? Been there, done that. Let's get to the fight.

As the Crimson Heads emerged, the stronger members of the team stepped forward to blunt their approach. Mike yelled to Johnny as he too the side by Karen.

Hold flank by Claudia!! This is too frontal, watch for a side or rear attack! Head shots will do the zombies in!!

Mike kept in a defensive stance by the ladies, picking off any stragglers that the main force missed...
 
Just as everyone seemed to be recovering from their "run-in" with Barbas, the ground beneath them started to shake, fire was all around them. And following soon after was…Crimson Heads! Barbas was certainly playing on HER fears at least, in throwing the vicious killer zombies at them yet again.

Harbinger called for them to follow Silver Swan and Black Widow. But this, this they knew how to do, without being told how. MorningStar had finally found her voice, and she did not hesitate.

Silver Swan said:
FORWARD! SHOW NO MERCY!
Click to expand...

“With pleasure.”

She moved quickly so that the others were safely behind her, then thrust her hands out in front of her, her palms flat and facing the ground. She began to emit a wide but thin green laser beam from her fingertips (think Cyclops but coming from her hands). The beam easily sliced through the oncoming Crimson Heads like a hot knife through butter. She moved her arms in a slow sweeping motion, trying to cut down as many as she could at once.
 
Pentagram of Protection

:: Everything was a blur. After months of torture and battle at the hands of Barbas, Cameron was not in the best state which was definitely an UNDERSTATEMENT. He had somewhat of an idea of where he was but he wasn't sure why. He knew that he was a key part in Barbas' endgame with Alison he just didn't know what that ultimately was, he was just happy to know that she was alive. He felt incredibly stupid for letting himself be captured. If he would have just kept out of the business of the Six like he had planned he could have spared them the extra stress in rescuing him along with whatever else they were doing. He just wanted to see if his sister was alright, if she was alive. When he returned to Earth from Limbo he never got to see her. Everything happened so fast. And then he felt her again. He felt his sister. ::

Alison: You ALMOST had me...but now..it's MY turn!

:: At this point Cameron really couldn't make out any faces or scenery, he could only really... sense people. He could sense Alison and Haleigh the strongest but he also knew the rest of the Six was there was as well..including Sharon Kelly. He was too tired to think of what had transpired when he left the Six, but he didn't feel the same intense and crushing RAGE that he had when she appeared to him in his dream so many nights ago in full force as the Silver Swan. ::

Nicolas: We have you back, and we are making it out of here...TOGETHER. Your will is now bolstered by my own, and I will not leave here without you..

:: It felt good to hear the well spoken Nicolas in his head. It was almost like old times. Cameron felt the energy rush through his body as the scenery began to fill in around him. He had never been here before but the name came to him immediately, a sort of psychic residue the place had, as if it had "introduced" itself to Cameron. Arklay. ::

Haleigh: It's all over now, Cameron, we're here. You're safe…

:: And then he felt her touch. Haleigh. It was like tapping into a life source. Her touch made him feel alive as much as he had tried to bury the feelings. He wanted to speak back to her but he felt as if at the moment his body was not allowing him to. Moment by moment he was beginning to see clearer and soon he was as conscious as he could be, coughing and covering his dry mouth. The first thing he was was Morgan Victoria casting a pentagram of protection over him and he nodded to her. With dry mouth and very little strength in his vocal chords he looked up and smirked a little at the Sorceress Supreme. ::

"Morgan.. thank you.. you look.. you look great..."

:: He took another moment to clear his throat as best he could. ::

"It's...good....to see all of you...again..now...now go kick...that demon's ass!"

:: He tried his best to look as unwounded as possible a knee jerk reaction from his more stubborn and arrogant days.. for now he waited as he saw the Crimson Heads ATTACK. He was too weak to do MUCH but he would help if it was needed. They had saved his LIFE and he couldn't just watch them die. ::
 
battle in the arena

Firebird tried her best to control the heat and the fire that made it so HOT in the arena as she knew that some of her teammates would be more vulnerable to it. But despite her efforts, she remained trapped like the others as that evil, twisted Barbas attempted to attack Alison before being attacked himself by Silver Swan. Sharon was a damn good fighter much like the Sharon of Blaze's own timeline. She had power, beauty and the willingness to kill if necessary. But Blaze's emerald green eyes widened with dismay as Barbas survived even her brutal attack and then hurled her away.

"SHARON!"

They ALL tried to escape their binds but they couldnt and like the others, Blaze witnessed the dark secret nightmare of Claudia. It was truly sick and horrid and even the battle hardened Blaze felt pangs of compassion in her fiery heart for Claudia. No one should have to endure that. Still, that didnt change the fact that Claudia was a snake.

Through the chaos, Blaze senses a supernatural presense, its Verna Eckert! The elegant witch manifests and reaches out to Morgan and then Alison helping them to recover long enough to turn the tide. Mike SPITS in Barbas' face, which causes Blaze to gasp with astonishment before Alison blasts him apart! Soon she is freed, rubbing sides and running her hands along her feminine waist line.

"now i know what a captive audience for General Hospital feels like..."

She groans bit before stretching. Morgan checks on her.

"I'm okay Morgan...are YOU alright?"

Morgan: I will be....once we're all OUT of here.

As everyone did what they needed to prepare, Blaze did her part to help make cameron more comfortable, regulating his body temperature and drawing away any unecessary heat around him so he would be able to breathe easier and comfortably while Nicolas and Morgan also helped him. She remembered the Cameron from her own timeline, but he had been lost along with so many others in the Sentinel onslaught. To see him now, so battle worn and so weak...it made her pause for a moment. So many things about this timeline were DIFFERENT than her own and yet, she knew here was where she belonged with her sister.

She heard Nicolas speak to Morgan and kept a clear ear on that conversation. She was not comfortable at all with Nicolas being NEAR her sister after all that had happened and was more than prepared to give him a personal MELTDOWN he'd never forget but through this whole nightmare in this awful mansion he had been ...well kind of great! Maybe he wasnt SO bad after all but still her concern lay with her sister. She hoped Morgan wouldnt slip up but the woman was grown and couldmake her own choices.

When she heard that Claudia had murdered a potential member of the Six, she rolled her eyes. any sympathy she had for the woman EVAPORATED and as Sharon spoke about Claudia, Blaze nodded.

"Yes. I guess when she isnt doing her best work on her BACK, she's stealing other people's talents to make up for her own lack of talent."

it was time to get to work. Firebird would be blocking for her sister and the others and she was ready to unleash her vast fire power on WHATEVER was coming, including BARBAS!

As the chaos began, Firebird uses her own power to redirect the explosions of flame away from them before extinguishing them. when that failed Zombies came crawling out of the cracks. Firebird squared her shoulders and was ready for action! Looking back at her sister,

"Good luck Morg! I've got your back!"


She turns, and tosses her brunette locks back as she smirks. Silver Swan leads the charge, followed Black Widow, Rampage and MorningStar. But Firebird stands, letting Crimson Heads close in on her from both sides!

"All eyes on me in the center of the RING!"

Steepling her fingers in front of her face, she closes her eyes as a corona of flame energy sparkles and flares from her posed fingers! she then opens her eyes and strikes a pose,spinning in a circle on her high heeled boot with a style that would do Morgan proud as she releases a POWERFULL attack!

The raw fire power RIPS OUT from the fire elemental and swoops acround her in a WIDE circle and blasts upward TOTALLY incinerating and consuming ALL the crimson heads encircled around her, and the NEXT group coming behind them!

Firebird then takes off, launching into the air as she manifests her flame raptor around her body and begains to use the wings of her raptor manifestation to strike down more while flying. She flies past Rampage as he does his thing with his axe and heads the opposite direction that Sharon, in her wind funnel form is goingto keep the crimson heads from building up on Black Widow or MorningStar.

<< the final battle began. Spellbinder wanted to take flight and join in, but she knew she had to stick to Harbinger's plan. She stayed by her mother as the flashes of Firebird's energy, Morningstar's lasers and the howl of Silver Swan's wind funnel and the boom of Rampage's attacks filled the air.>>

Magnificent!

<< she said, cheering her team mates on.>>

<< Harbinger fended off a few Crimson Heads, using her power to speed up her reaction time as she lashed out with her timestaff and telekinetic power.>>

some of them are getting past...but Harbinger and Arsenal seem to have it well in hand...

Shadow Weaver: But still...it doesnt seem right, holding back while they fight.
 
monster!

<< Spellbinder and Shadow Weaver wouldnt have to wait for long...as HARD thumping could be heard coming TOWARD them all from behind. the entrance behind them slides open and growling is heard before a MAMMOTH creature emerges....a monstrous thing called a TYRANT.>>

<< it bursts into the arena and DWARFS EVERYONE with its immense size and stature. Its even TALLER than Kyle. The creature sizes up his targets...zeroing in on Shadow Weaver, Spellbinder, Siren and Harbinger. Arsenal and Johnny would become casualties soon if they didnt retreat.>>

<< This creature was once HUMAN! probably a kidnapped victim. Out of every 100 humans that are infected with the t-virus...ONE will jump the "evolutationary ladder" of the virus to become a TYRANT! this creature is beyond even the Crimson Head.>>

<< its shadow looms over them as the Tyrant ROARS...it begins to charge forward with ALARMING speed, ready to KILL in a most bone breaking way and ANY wound sustained by the creature would result in T VIRUS infection if they are not DEAD. >>

<< just about ANY form of artillery other than truly HIGH POWERED will have LITTLE effect on the creature whose speed, reflexes, agility and durability are SUPER HUMAN and whose strength is a match for Rampage! its apetite for BLOOD and VIOLENCE is not easily satiated.>>
