New York City- The Six's timeline

:: Looking to Darkchilde as she spoke harshly to Black Widow and Foxfire, Persephone shifted her eyes to the woman noting their silence. But as Darkchilde finished reprimanding the six, she turned on Persephone. Sighing out audibly, she rolled her eyes closed and shook her head gently. She knew Darkchilde was doing this for her benefit, but it didn't lessen the aggravation of it all. ::

"I understand..."

:: She said finally, looking to Darkchilde. Grasping her hand, Persephone gave her a forced smile. She hated leaving, hated going with these people. But she felt incredibly weakened and sick and knew DC was right. She couldn't stay here, otherwise she would die. Tightening her grip on DC's hand as she spoke that this wasn't goodbye, but a 'see you later', Persephone nodded. ::

"I'll miss you. And I love you too, DC."

:: Turning away from Darkchilde, Persephone stepped forward making her way toward the group of woman. Her knew "team". Listening to DC's instructions, Persephone inhaled a deep breath mentally preparing for what exactly was going to happen. Suddenly a large stepping disc opened, blowing Persephone's dark brunette locks back. The stepping disc snatched up herself and the other woman sending through a whirlwind of confusion, sending them traveling back in time. ::

:: Finally, the disc placed them back into the middle of their massive battle with Master Mold. Persephone saw Black Widow, Guardian, and what looked like Foxfire. Then two other unknown blondes. Persephone watched the battle climb to it's climax, seeing the large vortex open. And finally, her eyes fell upon Spellbinder. Taken aback, she looked EXACTLY like Darkchilde...it was amazing. But Persephone's eyes widened as Master Mold latched onto Spellbinder, dragging her into the vortex along with him. ::
 
Back in time- NYC

Haleigh falls back into silence, as DC clarifies about Persephone 'accompanying' them... she nods once, politely, indicating that the understood... but seemingly satisfied at the outcome. She let the women say their goodbyes without interruption... though she was ready to get on with it... it never struck her as odd how she was almost.... EAGER... to get Spellbinder back... she remembered once fantasizing about putting snakes in Morgan's bed.... We're coming Morgan.... I WON'T let you go this time.

A chime heralds the stepping disc... the one that takes them back to one of the most traumatic experiences they had all shared. Persephone is an outsider looking in... even she could see how painful this was for all of them. Haleigh got an eerie chill, watching herself move for Alison, and then Morgan, all the while fighting against the vortex. She could still feel its pull, even now. It gave her the doomed feeling of inevitable demise... the one that she realized --if only in the deepest recesses of her mind-- they were all headed for. Haleigh's cold fingers clamped around the inside of Guardian's arm hastily.

"I can't be seen by myself... can you.... teleblink her?"

Her voice was urgent. She didn't like seeing this again... the moment of her own failure... the moment she let Morgan, and the rest of the team, down. Alison had been knocked out cold, Blaze had been watching from another realm... only Haleigh had a pure, unadulterated memory of this tragic moment... she had LIVED it. The moment she let go. Haleigh's expression was pained... but she couldn't tear her eyes away from the events that were unfolding... the haunting memories she knew all too well, playing out for her like the worst nightmare, third-person experience and all.
 
Tragedy revisited and CHANGED

<< and so as the members of the Six are reconfronted with one of the most painfull moments in their collective history, and the newcomer, Persephone is now greeted with the site of a woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to her sister wraith, Darkchilde, they all react in different ways. But despite the unsettling realization that they have moved BACK in time and are being forced to relive these horrible moments in the battle against Master Mold, these women MUST pull themselves together and find away to rescue Spellbinder from the hell that awaits her beyond the vortex of the Seige Perilous and that is beyond the reach of time and space.>>


<< as Haleigh is the first one to vocalize among the group, she asks Alison about Teleblinking not realizing that the Seer is already on the same page and that Persephone will proove to be surprisingly proactive in this as well.>>
 
NYC- the past

:: Guardian turned to look around as everything began to spin, blur and change. the stepping disc had a pull effect to it as they were moved BACK in time, not only to the Six's reality but further back..to the battle with Master Mold!::

:: as they emerged they had a terrifying ring side/spectator's view of the final terrible climax in the battle. Guardian did not show any reaction as she saw her past self being injured and knocked out cold by Master Mold as he retaliated against her for unleashing the Seige Perilous against him.::

:: Spellbinder rushed forward, and attempted to hurl what was left of him through the seige perilous and while she had succeeded Alison covered her mouth as she saw for the first time what she HADNT seen first hand....he reemerged from the gate of the cosmic gem! As Spellbinder struggled to reach Haleigh and Alison, he lashed out with his tentacles and wrapped around her ankle, her waist...and her neck! Haleigh reaches out and grabs onto Spellbinder and pulls BACK, holding on to her with all her might. Spellbinder struggles to try to bust lose from the mechanical monster as Haleigh tries to hang on to her ....::

Haleigh....

:: it was a magnificent display on Haleigh's part and Alison was truly touched by this but she had to snap OUT of the emotion of this scene as PRESENT DAY Haleigh asked her about teleblinking Spellbinder.::

:: Shaking her head and shutting her eyes, Guardian glared at the mechanical monster with her cobalt blue eyes and renewed her focus.::

Yes. I CAN teleblink her but we know Master Mold is resilent. He can counter nearly EVERYTHING each of the Six is capable of. He will sense the temporal anomoly that is US and when Spellbinder is moved from her current spot, he will come after her even as i move her toward us. the three of you must be ready to fight off his tentacles and Blast him back through the Seige Perilous. We will only have ONE shot at this, so let's make it count!

:: Guardian's tone was cold and firm. the din of chaos and the roaring winds from the vortex of the Seige Perilous couldnt drown her out as she stepped forward, a few steps in front of the group. She had to risk being seen by the "past versions" of The Six and their allies to not only teleblink Morgan but draw the sensors of Master Mold toward her so that his cranial unit would change direction and orientation and remove the focus from "past" Haleigh and the bus. Guardian's blue/black hair whipped in the wind as she stood tall in her body contouring, one shoulder leather suit. she planted her stilletto heeled boots firmly on the ground as she held out her golved hand::

Master Mold SCREAMS as he is pulled into the vortex of the Siege Perilous. His head seems to be SUCKED away side ways. Morgan struggles to reach the unconscious Guardian, to pick her up and carry her back to the bus..... But at the last moment...a tentacle wraps around MORGAN'S ankle...another one around her waist.. Master Mold's face reappaers inside the vortex and then another tentacle around her NECK and all together they PULL HER IN AS WELL

within her reach!

<< Guardian takes the bold steps forward as Spellbinder is ripped away from Black Widow's grasp. The sorceress screams for her life as she is pulled off her feet toward the unforgiving vortex of the Seige Perilous. It appears that they will be forced to watch her die again until....>>

SPELLBINDER!
Click to expand...

<< The Seer TELEBLINKS Spellbinder at the last moment. Spellbinder's eyes immediately fall shut as she is enveloped in a swirling haze of dark glowing orbs. an eerie sound is heard as she is "moved" from that spot and is now traveling in orbed form toward the out stretched hand of Guardian. Teleblinking is an intstantaneous activating power but in this harrowing moment, EVERYTHING seems to move so slow. the feeling of dread knowing that Master Mold will make another deadly pass at Spellbinder no matter WHAT is on the minds of all the "present day" women who now attempt to save their team mate>>
 
:: Hearing the screams of Spellbinder instantly brought Persephone back to the moment where Black had attacked Darkchilde in Club XS. Hre screams filled the VIP room alerting Persephone of the battle...but what she arrived to was an unconscious DC and Black towering over her ready to strike. Snapping out of her momentary flashback, Persephone watched as Guardian teleblinked Spellbinder from Master Mold's grasp; the orbs slowly moving toward the group of woman. But as the woman were fixated on orbs of their beloved friend, Master Mold suddenly unleashed yet ANOTHER tentacle heading directly toward a soon-to-be materialized Spellbinder. ::

"NO!"

:: Oddly enough, Persephone felt a certain connection with Spellbinder. She was connected with Darkchilde, which in turn, made Persephone want to protect her the way she would always protect DC. Within seconds, Persephone had unraveled her whip from around her torso and swung it above her head before snapping it tightly around Master Mold's tentacle. The end of the whip transfigured into steal, tightly binding onto the large mechanical arm with an iron grip. ::
:: Pulling with titan-like force, Persephone dug the heals of her stiletto boots into the jagged concrete as Master Mold began to fight the goddesses pull, ultimately dragging her closer to the vortex. Persephone's long chocolate locks whipped in the wind; her face contorting into that of strain. Finally, lightning flashed above and thunder cracked violently as massive bolts of lightning shot from Persephone's hands and traveled through her whip instantly engulfing Master Mold's arm. The winds around the area began to pick up to speeds reminiscent to that of an F 3 tornado, sending large debris, cars, and light poles hurling into the vortex. ::

:: Releasing the hold on Master Mold’s tentacle, Persephone’s whip instantly coiled around the goddess’ body as she regained her stepping from being drug forward. ::
 
** Foxfire focused her attention on the battle strategy, her mind active with solutions to the problem. But, Guardian and Black Widow were already creating an active game plan. As the scene unfolded Morgan screamed for her life. **

** Black Widow asked Guardian to blink the past figures from within view of the present, but also Spellbinder. As she did, Persephone took action, a pleasant surprise to Foxfire. She raced towards the Goddess who lashed out with her whip. Her keen eyes zooming onto Master Mold who TUGGED onto Persephone. **

** Moving behind Persephone, Foxfire wrapped one strong arm around her waist to help anchor her down even MORE. With her free hand, Blaze's hand glowed a fiery red as the hand manipulated into a combustible form. Her eyes following the on - coming course of the whirling cars that Persephone managed to scoope up with her tornado winds. A straight forward blast of fire aimed for the car's engine. **

** Stomping her boots more firmly into the ground, she watched Master Mold. Gritting her teeth as her flaming yellow eyes betrayed her hatred for this monster. She felt the pleasure seek through her blood veins as she and Persephone attacked. The fire Foxfire assaulted with immediately combusted the cars. The deadly winds helping to assist the fire against Master Mold. **

** Lowering her palm, Foxfire took careful aim for that pair of glowing red eyes. Her battle armor heating up, even slightly warming Persephone. Pointing her index finger at the beast, Blaze waited. She was focusing in on his internal wiring and mechanical devices. She was attempting to miscrowave him from the inside out. But, her attack was focused upon his eyes, hoping to permanently blind him. **
 
Haleigh hears Alison softly say her name, and looks down at the ground, just as Past Morgan leaves her past self's grip. Thankfully, everyone springs into action and attention is diverted from what happened that tragic night to what they were doing about it now....

In an intense show of power and determination, Persephone launches the first attack... Haleigh pauses, if only momentarily, as Foxfire joins in to help... perhaps Perse wouldn't be such a burden after all... Haleigh watches the mayhem, deciding what her role should be... Foxfire attacks the cranial unit itself, while Perse tries to wrangle the wildly flailing tentacles, which by now were grabbing for anything possible...

Haleigh narrows her eyes and strains, reaching her arms out in front of her.... she pushes with all her might... and seems to draw strength from a new source-- her heart... at first, it appears that nothing is happening... but then.... an unseen force begins to assualt MM... and FORCE it backwards, towards the vortex... as Haleigh WILLS the metal monster into the sucking void that will serve as its grave...
 
:: Guardian reaches out, almost TOO eager as the teleblinking effect travels toward her outstretched hand as as Persephone STOPS the tentacle from reaching the teleblinked Morgan, Guardian SNATCHES her out of harms way and turns her back as she holds the now unconscious Morgan in her arms. cars are flying in gale force winds thanks to Persephone as she fights against the mechanical monster::


MORGAN!!!

:: firmly holding her as more tentacles come her way, Guardian manifests a forcefield to deflect them as Foxfire joins in the fight and finally Black Widow, using all her power, driven by her heart to propell the cranial unit forcefully through the vortex of the Seige Perilous::


We'e GOT HER!!

:: Master Mold is pulled through the Seige Perilous, the same way he was the LAST TIME, screaming in an almost HUMAN voice as he is lost in the unforgiving vortex. ::
 
Back to Limbo

<< Success! the surviving members of The Six and Persephone have rescued Spellbinder from her fate in the past and at THAT MOMENT of achievement, they are all forcefully pulled back into the stepping disc that Darkchilde had teleported them through time and space with.>>


<< thunder crashes as everything begins to spin, cycles of the sun and moon, winds rage, chimes sound off as everything is enveloped in white>>


<< Guardian , who is holding on to Spellbinder is jarred by a force as Morgan's body from the past and her soul and consciousness from the present....what she saw in her nightmare are joined together...and finally the group falls out of the stepping disc in ORORO's castle in the garden Oasis. a blast of thunder and flashes of lightning herald their arrival as Guardian falls through the disc onto the stone floor with an unconscious Spellbinder, who is now whole and nude. Foxfire, Haleigh and Persephone emerge after them, all looking very dishelved and battered by winds. but as the haze of sparkling energy fades, they see Guardian laying on the floor, holding onto Spellbinder. They had SUCCEEDED! >>
 
home again

<< floating, unaware, unfeeling, lost.>>


<< There was nothing but silence and endless space as Morgan , who floated naked in a fetal position in a realm that could only be described as oblivion seemed doomed to remain there but soon, winds began to sound off and the blackness around her began to SPIN>>

<< Morgan, still floated, unaware of anything but soon, she began to HEAR sounds, jumbled, disorienting sounds of....explosions, battle,...MASTER MOLD....>>

He's coming for me...AGAIN....

Guardian said:
Spellbinder!
Click to expand...

<< Morgan's icy violet eyes snap OPEN, WIDE OPEN...and as she cries out from the pain of being AWARE again, she remembers her last moments....>>

MASTER MOLD!!

<< Master Mold emerges from the blackness all around her, his HEAD is ALL AROUND HER..larger before. if he is to die, he will make SURE she is damned as well.>>


<< the tentacles come for her and as she struggles to gain her balance, her bearings in a place where there is NOTHING to stand on, no way to fight, she flails naked in the void and screams. at THAT moment..she TELEPORTS via stepping disc!>>


<< blackness gives way to LIGHT as her consciousness and soul are REUNITED with her BODY and she arrives in Limbo>>

<< the shock and trauma has rendered her unconscious....but she is now WHOLE again and laying in Guardian's arms, in the presence of her sister Foxfire and her friend and ally Black Widow. she's HOME again.. ALIVE again>>
 
:: Feeling Foxfire's arms wrap around her waist, Persephone cocked a brow up as the woman held onto her, anchoring her down. As Persephone's whip unwrapped around the tentacles, Persephone shrugged off Foxfire before turning around seeing Guardian holding Spellbinder. Instantly, a stepping disc opened, snatching up all the woman and transporting them back to Ororo's castle. ::

:: Falling through the stepping disc, Persephone landed gracefully on her feet. Stepping forward, she turned to see the other two woman followed behind her and Guardian holding a nude Spellbinder on the ground. Persephone inhaled a deep breath and ran her fingers throughout her wind blown hair, smoothing it out before crossing her arms along her chest. She stood away from the group, satisfied that they had saved Spellbinder, but still angry that she could not return to her time. ::
 
Each of the women began to assault MM in a surprisingly tactical format. Persephone leading, Foxfire, and Black Widow to follow. Their hopes to deflect and present the monster's tentacles from clutching Morgan OR Guardian. All of the group had to concisely time their attack wisely, for if not they could lose Morgan.

Blaze didn't care what Persephone thought of her, she needed her on this mission safe. Her powers over nature would help the team immensely. She watched with a pleasant surprise now as Black Widow attacked, pushing him further into the vortex.

Her head whipping to the side for Guardian, who managed to snatch Morgan. The two friends surrounded in another one of Guardian's domes. The time and space shifted once more as Foxfire was pulled through another stepping disk, breaking her hold of Persephone.

The disk opened but Blaze landed on her side in a heap with a whelp of pain. Sitting up her gloved hand massaging the bruise that would form. Standing up, Foxfire was about a good foot from Guardian who securely held a nude Morgan.

Walking over to Guardian, she couldn't believe her eyes. She felt that new sense of hope and pride return. Looking around for some sort of cloth to cover Morgan she saw nothing to use. Glancing down at her own battle suit, she unzipped the gear. Underneath her suit Blaze wore a pair of denim jeans and a pink t- shirt, across the shirt read "Bite Me." Something that fit Blaze well with her fiery personality. Slipping out of the suit she moved to lay it across Morgan as a blanket. Crouching to Guardian, Blaze's hands ran through Morgan's double highlighted locks.

"We did it!"

Emerald eyes staring down at her sister, she looked toward Persephone. "Thank you...Persephone." She glanced back to Morgan, her eyes meeting with Guardian. Both cherishing the return of Morgan, well and alive!

Looking around, Blaze saw no sign of Ororo. "Ororo is not back yet...I hope she's all right."
 
Haleigh fell out of the stepping disc, and , like Foxfire, didn't quite stick the landing.... though she initially landed on her feet, she was disoriented and dizzy, and she collapsed to the ground. She groaned as she sat up, pale and sluggish, both looking and FEELING exhausted... sitting up too soon, she winced, raising her hand to her forehead as a bout of light-headedness took over for a second, and she wiped her nose as it dribbled a bit of blood. She had exerted a lot of energy, and coupled with the time and space travel, it had definitely had its adverse affect on her.

"Don't worry Blaze... if there's ANYONE who's alright... its Ororo."

Haleigh looked to Guardian, who was holding a naked Morgan, and then to Foxfire, who moved to cover her sister. Haleigh stayed where she was, propping herself up with her hands behind her, thinking quietly.... it wasn't long before she voiced her concerns.


"Yes... we did. We just succeeded in monumentally changing our joint history. We might have CHANGED everything we know back home.... Alison... what does this mean? Anything for our situation with Malice? Doing what we did... something so important... will have a serious ripple effect.... there's no TELLING what we could have changed... I mean... the only thing we KNOW is the same is.... Blackout is still right there."

Haleigh said, pointing to the statue of Alexis warily.
 
the circular hallway

:: Guardian quitely thanks Blaze for covering Morgan, as she continues to hold her. The Seer is now sitting upright on the stone floor in Ororo's citadle, the whispering winds flowing through the stone halls are a soothing and welcoming change to the chaos they have been through and as she takes a moment to grasp the REALITY that Morgan is ALIVE and WHOLE once more....she can't help but to let a small, reluctant smile creep across her normally stern face.::

:: brushing some of her own blue/black hair back as she looks up at Haleigh, Guardian replies::

As nearly as i can tell from Limbo, everything remains as it was on Earth. Our retrieval of Morgan didnt change anything significant because it was Sharon Kelly's death that facilitated the degeneration of mutant, metahuman/human relations. The damage from our battles with Malice and Blackout remain.....and what we will do about that, I dont know. Malice, is still alive, very much so.

:: she paused::


but with Alexis, ::noting that Haleigh had referred to the statue.::

it can be assumed that she would have gone the course she did anyway thanks to the choker that catalyzed her transformation into Blackout. She is in Limbo now, in the form of stone that Ororo put her in much like what happened with Persephone in Darkchilde's timeline.

We....used a temporal loop hole to get Morgan back. we rescued her BODY but her soul, her spirit and essence were in that Oblivion that i saw in my dream...my astral nightmare when i "died". Ororo theorized that if we snatched her body from the past, the shock and ripple effect of doing so would JAR her in her present oblivion and her first, basic instinct would be to teleport to Limbo. It looks like she was right.


:: looking down at Morgan, who was breathing regularly.::

no doubt the shock of being integrated back together is what rendered her unconscious, much like the trauma i experienced of coming back to life.


:: making sure Blaze's suit covered Morgan securly,Guardian stood up and continued to hold and carry Morgan, using her telekinetic power.::

we are in OUR timeline now, so Ororo is very much alive and well, her presence is all around this fortress. we must go upstairs to the apothecary and meet her there......and....Karen!! she's ALIVE and she's here...safe with Ororo....and someone ELSE?

:: Alison's voice echoed off the stone walls and blended with the winds.::
 
and so

<< and so, the travel weary survivors of the Six along with Persephone and a recently returned and unconscious Morgan carefully make their way up to the apothecary of Ororo's citadle.>>


<< they have accomplished something that would have been impossible for most others but all of this prooves that the women of the Six are all capable of more TOGETHER than the sum of their individual parts.>>
