The Inferno Crisis: Broken Restraints...and Bodies

::Guardian was moving toward the others, as one reality gave way to another...they were in LIMBO. Spellbinder was battering Cameron with such vicious delight.::


:: she sped up...and Morgan hurled the badly burned Cameron over the plateau...Alison accelerated...becoming so fast she left an image trial behind her as she reached subsonic speeds..and ran "on air" snatching cameron..and bringing him back to the plateau...STILL, Alison was not totally thrilled to be helping Cameron. She DROPPED him from her arms on the ground in front of Erika.::

Keep him back..and keep his mouth SHUT! If you dont want him to DIE..do NOT let him address MORGAN AGAIN!


::she turned...and faced Morgan::

Morgan..I cant ...let you ......hurt them anymore!

:: she stood between Morgan and Alexis, Erika the badly hurt Cameron and unconscious Blaze::

::there was about to be a battle. and a SERIOUS one::
 
Erika was glad that her brother was protected but now she found herself in the realm of Limbo where Morgan was unleashing a deadly assault onto Cameron. She couldn't do anything. She wanted to save Cameron desperately but she knew she would be putting everyone in danger if she did. Out of nowhere Alison came and rescued Cameron from a might fall. Erika was awestruck. Alison may have hated Cameron and had stated that she would kill Cameron many times, but Erika knew deep down somewhere there was a connection and bond that could never be broken between the two. They were so much alike it wasn't funny they just expressed their similarities in different ways. Alison expressed her confidence through power and Cameron through words. They were both very intellectual people but crippled by the fact that they were both self serving. As she cradled her battered brother in her arms she healed his wounds as a rush went through Prophet's system and he woke up slowly but surely. She felt his forehead before whispering into his ear.

"You just always have to say exactly what is on your mind, eh little bro? Now sit back and don't say anything unless you want to see all of us killed. Haleigh has already suffered the consequences. Think of her Cameron. She wouldn't want you to die the way she did.. sit back and shut up! Alexis can you please try and hold him back in case he tries anything else. I would heal Blaze but I have a feeling right now she is better off left unconscious... Me.. I have to face the music..."

Standing Up, Erika dusted herself off as she stood alongside Alison her hands directly at her sides. She was only going to interfere if absolutely necessary. She knew Alison could handle herself if Morgan attacked her but now Erika was looking out for her family, which seemed to be her tragic character flaw lately. She thought back to the days of literature when she was deep into Beowulf and other learnings of Tragic Heroes. In the end, they all died. They could never live. Erika hoped she wouldn't suffer the same fate. She was ready for what was about to come after her.
 
:: Cameron was near the stages of death. The new aspect of his power he had acquired through the embracing ceremony was in high effect in Limbo as he began to see the souls of others who had met their fate here, unable to escape. They seemed to be mocking him as if they WANTED him to suffer the same fate that they did. The pain was unbarable as he was hurled over the side of the plateau and rescued by a faster than light Guardian. He didn't have time to process any of this and before he knew it, he was back in the arms of his sister who healed his wounds and warned him. His thoughts went to Haleigh. She was dead and he wasn't seeing her with the group. Was she not able to pass on? Had her spirit been sent somewhere vicious like a Hell Dimension? A million thoughts went through his head as he stood by Alexis ::

"Don't worry.. I won't try anything. I just got upset... Haleigh was the closest thing to a friend besides Vivica that I had.. I just can't believe that she is gone..."
 
Sudden DEATH...

Erika grabbed Haleigh's arm-- hard. Hales gave a start but made no noise... instead she pursed her lips and held still as instructed. she watched her arm grow back... slightly mesmerized... she could hear Ororo and Morgan in the background... but wasnt as alarmed as she should have been. In fact... her relaxed emotions seemed illplaced for the situation... she was in terrible danger... and it wasnt that she didnt realize it... she KNEW Morgan was tottering a fine line between being a controlling powerhungry bitch and being a total homicidal sociopath... and she knew she'd be the FIRST the hammer would come down upon... but as always... her steely nerve seemed untouched by the threat of impending doom... and had Alison TOLD her what was to become of her... she would have treaded lightly... but STILL felt this way. As erika released her arm, Haleigh offered her thanks... and looked up at Morgan RIGHT as Morgan takes aim... Haleigh stands up, taking a deep breath... she was about to say something to HALT Morgan in her tracks... or at least attempt to... but she'd not have the chance. As the bolt took shape, Haleigh took a step back... but she seemed so shocked that Morgan had attacked unprovoked that she couldn't think fast enough to get out of the way... and so... was hit with the BRUNT of the Blast.

And what a brunt it was... The pain Hales had felt when she lost her arm had done NOTHING to prepare her for the pain that bloomed in her chest cavity now... She suddenly couldnt think of anything else but the pain... Her final breath caught in her throat... she made no sound.... Her face seemed frozen in shock, staring up at Morgan... her body shook violently and uncontrollably as it went into overload, the pain shot through her veins like ice water... and her body systems seemed to be failing her... as the others saw haunting bluish flashes of her skeletal being... Haleigh actually FELT her soul separating from her body...

and then.... NOTHING.... she just lay there... quite a ways away from where she had been standing, as a result of being knocked to her ass... but she felt nothing... not the chill of the night air... not the breeze flowing past.... not the pain that had every nerve ending of her body screaming just a split second before. Haleigh looked around at the group... A few were shocked silent... Morgan hadn't moved... Erika and Cameron got up.... And Cameron suddenly went off... Haleigh couldn't believe her ears... she was DEAD?? no.... that can't be... I didn't even get a fight! She shook her head in disbelief...

"Cameron.... no.... I'm right here.... Cameron?"

She reached out to touch his shoulder... but her hand passed through him... Her countenence dropped... she looked at her hand... now that she looked closer... she could see... it was slightly transparent... she felt a pang of anger... angry at Morgan, for zapping her without so much as a real REASON... angry at Alison, for doing NOTHING... as Haleigh KNEW that Alison had to have known... she suddenly realized that Blaze had come close to telling her.... I wish I could Help you.... but why hadn't she? and Why hadn't Alison WARNED her? sure... she'd been cryptic... but Alison had really done much to SAVE Hales from a future she knew to be likely... what GOOD were her powers if she let her hatred for Haleigh keep her from preventing the DEATH of a member of the Six?? She felt angry at HERSELF... she'd HELPED Alison... she'd let her grudge fall beneath the need to preserve the structure of the team... she should've let Alison choke to death... She deserved as much for the fate she'd KNOWINGLY LET befall Haleigh...

Haleigh blinked her eyes.... everything was getting hazy... she was slipping further into the place between Life and Death... everyone faded away... and all that was left was the beach and the moonlight that bathed her ethereal form.... everything had a bluish moonlight tint... Haleigh recognized this 'realm' she'd been here before... the night of the Citadle caper... the night she got a second chance... she suddenly felt a melancoly settle on her... she'd been given a second chance... and now she felt as though she did hardly a thing with it... she'd made a transcending bond with Cameron... and sometimes if their goals aligned, with Alexis as well.... she'd THOUGHT her and blaze were on the same page and the same side... only to find out that blood ran thick in the Victoria line... and she'd done NOTHING to improve things with Alison or Morgan... in fact... things had gotten worse. A solemn remorse overtook her... now she knew what she should be doing.... and now it was too late. Why had she been so headstrong?

"You faltered, it's true.... be not proud... BUT.... You did the best you could... and so.... be not ashamed."

Haleigh looked up.... a tall and dark man dressed in black stood not five feet from her... he extended his hand to her. "Come.... it is time to go." Haleigh took a wary step back... she stared at the man.... she knew who it was... the Angel of Death... she even knew the answer to her next question... but she asked anyway to stall. "Go WHERE?? Time to go WHERE?? I'm not going ANYWHERE... I wasnt ready... put me RIGHT... it is NOT time... I didnt go through ALL that shit to die like this.... I won't have it!" Haleigh shook her head and stepped back once more... the man seemed patient... as though hed heard it before... he gave her a sympathetic look... and stood there, hand outstretched, waiting for her to take it. "That i cannot tell you... but I must impress... it IS time."
 
meanwhile...in Ororo's garden

::still the same realm..but a vastly different expanse, Ororo's garden was the epitomy of serenity and the GOOD that magick could do....though Ororo herself knew that the magick was evil and had corrupted her soul long ago..she won her soul and sense of self BACK. she knew that there was good and evil in all...and the discipline was to be able to balance. NOT supress one of the other..for they simply WERE. That was one of the key differences between herself and erika.::

:: she appeared right in front of her massive oak...the center piece and focal point of her beautiful garden of eden. this was the first object she created..when she overcame Belasco's hold on her...and it stood now..as a massive majestic symbol of life and triumph in a realm blighted by evil and chaos.::

::she cast many of her most powerful spells while standing in front of this tree, surrounded by her pentagram of power and now she lifted her hands...with jagged green manifestations of magick flowing around her uplifted hands....concentrating as her command of the winds caused them to swirl around her in a malestrom. soon...an essence flowed down from the couds...it was -Haleigh Davidoff. Ororo worked using her LIFE GIVING magick..as she did all those years ago to bring her garden to fruition...and as the winds brought Haleigh's essence down...thunder boomed as Ororo began to frown with determination.::

In Limbo, time and space do not apply, let Haleigh Davidoff stand before me as she was....let her NOW be whole again!!!

::in a flash of white light.....Haleigh's body was restored as it was BEFORE the battle of Kelly King. She was physically hole..and restored BUT all of her memories were in tact..even to the moment of her death. Ororo would allow Haleigh to acclimate tobeing alive and whole again..and explain any questions she might have...before they joined the situation far across Limbo::
 
Haleigh hesitated... but she knew it wasnt as if she could stop this process... she couldn't run from Death... and he wasnt the one to plea bargain with... and now that she saw he wasn't going to let her derail him... she looked away... and then... back at him, nodding once softly... a part of her always knew Death would come calling. A part of her felt she'd been allowed to live too long... that she should have died six years ago... when she was captured. That part of her allowed her a calm... and she reached out to take Death's hand with her usual steely resolve.

But just before she touched him... she felt a pull on her being... a pull that she took for his method of transport... she closed her eyes...and tried to mentally brace herself for what might be coming. When she opened them again... she felt distinctly different... and was staring blankly at none other than Ororo.... who seemed to be staring RIGHT back at her... haleigh suddenly felt a soft breeze... she looked around... and then back at the Sorceress. She was visibly confused... and it spread into her voice as well...

"You.... but I.... and then... but now..." She gathered her thoughts and took a deep breath... and then proceeded to string some sentences together. "Where am I? What happened? Am I.... alive again?"
 
in the garden

::Ororo held up her hand to silence Haleigh::

You are here in my garden..an oasis within the realm of Limbo. Morgan rules this domain...but MY power holds sway in this garden as it has for countless years...through many others beside yourself that have passed through.

You are alive, not necessarily because you DESERVE IT...and when this is over, You will have much to answer for.

But, your own strength of self preservation allowed your spirit to hang on...even as Morgan destroyed your physical body. This wouldnt have happened , of course, if you would learn to keep silent long ago and stopped using others misfortune to your advantage. I restored you...so that you may continue to live out your destiny.

:: Ororo spoke very matter of factly, without any hint of disdain or confrontation. her white "goddess" dress and blue cape flowed slightly and fluently in the breezes of the majestic garden. the air was sweet...allowing Haleigh to calm herself and take in Ororo's words. Haleigh would do well to realize she was no longer on earth..and NOTHING in this realm was in her sphere of influence or control. Ororo herself seemed less maternal now...and more forboding::
 
Haleigh nodded... the things Ororo was saying were mostly true... Haleigh seemed different... her brush with Death was all too real... and it made her realize that she WASNT as ready as she THOUGHT she was for death... and that sinking feeling of regret for what she COULD have done stayed with her.... though now she realized that she might be able to do some of those things... She hoped Cameron was still okay... she knew Erika would die trying to save him... but With Haleigh gone... Cameron's minutes were numbered... and could probably be counted on one hand.... for the number of people even within the Six that would see him dead were now MORE than those would who see him live... and with Haleigh gone for the moment... the delicate balance of the Six was gone.

Haleigh looked up at Ororo... the woman seemed to have a serious, no nonsense tone about her... she WAS forboding... but Haleigh had not lost that uncanny trait to seemingly displace how a person SHOULD feel in any given situation with an unnatural calm... and though thoughts ran through her head like a whirlwind disaster... her expression was collected and pensive... as she realized that now would be her only opportunity for answers of any kind... What came next was so out of character.... so off the wall... it shocked even Haleigh... but it came from that little flicker of humanity that had been fighting to shine just before the Kelly situation got out of hand. It was as if a boulder had shifted... and now Haleigh allowed a little of her OLD self return.

"Yes, Ororo... I have known for a long time now that I would have to pay penance for the things I've done.... and when that time comes... I WILL answer for that which I am responsible... Many thanks for reviving me... though I know you would not have done it unless absolutely necessary... so I must ask, Good Sorceress... I have been so stubborn and self absorbed for so long... I don't even know where to start or how to begin... Morgan must be stopped... and the Balance must be restored... this I know... but how? How do I go about this without being obliterated by Morgan or even Alison.... who it is CLEAR would let me walk off a cliff were I blind."

For once... she said their names without a hint of anger.. or even mean spirit... though she referred to Alison allowing her to die... her voice wasn't bitter and nor was that the way she meant it... she was asking, seriously... it seemed that though she might very well despise those two... she pushed it to the back burner... for she seemed to realize that for Ororo to bring her back from the DEAD... something must be very wrong... the situation must be DIRE.
 
::Ororo looked at Haleigh, with no visible signs of "humanity". she seemed BEYOND such things..beyond good and evil as well. BUT it was only because many moons ago, she too had suffered greatly and endured a nightmare hell that at that time she didnt believe was possible. time , and loss change a person...and in her case...enduring the utmost pain and struggle to win her own soul back. secretly she could identify with Haleigh to some extent. but Haleigh would never know that::

Ororo: Haleigh Davidoff, I told you, as i did the other back when you escaped the Citadle that you had a purpose for being together. THAT is why you are alive again. Despite the corrosive spirit that you and Cameron bring to the team....there is a purpose that MUST be fullfilled.

Even now, as Morgan attacks the others with such vicious zeal, GUARDIAN has saved Cameron from certain death. She is not as heartless as you paint her to be...nor should it be YOUR concern what her faults are when you have JUST AS MANY. She TRIED to warn you, in her own way. You were too pridefull and too hell bent on putting her in her place to know that SHE, as a seer would most certainly know if your death was looming. This nightmare has just begun....and it will not stop here. Morgan's evil will spread through the entire expanse of new york city...and only her former allies in the Six can protect the citizens AND EACH OTHER from what is about to happen.

:: walking along, she didnt bother to look at Haleigh, she expected her to follow::

Alison Marble, is a seer, time mage and chaos witch...making her the most suitable candidate to stand against Morgan...if ONLY to keep the rest of you from dying by her hand. I will join Alison in battling Morgan...for im the second strongest mage in this realm.

As for what else.....one foot forward at a time is all i can say for now.
 
:: Alexis' breath had left her body...she couldn't shake off that Haleigh had just been killed right infront of her. As the meta human was in a state of shock, the surroundings around her seemed to fade...she could hear Cameron yelling, she could hear Alison's pleading, she could hear Morgan's threats. But it was all muffled. And soon, the actually place that Alexis was standing began to fade away, until finally, she was standing in Limbo. This was enough to snap her out of her daze. Looking to Morgan, she watched as she head Cameron by the neck...and swiftly throw him to the demons. ::

"NO!!!"

:: Screamed Alexis. Watching Cameron ultimatly fall to his doom, all of a sudden, Alison came and rescued him!! Alexis' eyes widdened watching the events unfold, and luckily, Cameron landed safely next to both herself and Erika. Hearing Erika's words, I hoped she knew that she was getting into....Either way, Alexis took Cameron by the hand, squeezing it tightly. Hearing his heartfelt words about Haleigh, she nodded. ::

"I know....."

:: This was the end of it all. The lowest of all lows. Morgan was completely off her rocker and she wasn't going to stop for anyone...::
 
<< Spellbinder hovered in the air....as the shadowy winds jostled and buffeted Shockwave and Cameron...herding them away from Guardian and Erika>>

<<Morgan's laughter could be heard ..it was such a throaty, truly heartless laugh...as Haleigh was now seemingly dead...and the demons all around began to rejoice as their mistress reveled in her power>>

Guardian! you can't stop me. I am not that waste of space you had for a mother...I am more powerful than SHE ever couldve been....and no one..not even YOU is going to stop me from getting what i want! You are ALL in my domain now...which means..you are all under MY POWER!

<<the ground beneath Erika's feet began to grow, as it CAME TO LIFE...and became a MASSIVE hand...reaching up and grabbing Erika...GRIPPING her like a vise as it rose into the air...removing her from Alison's side. the hand was begining to crush her body. She would have to get past the pain...and the soffucation in order to find a way to escape.>>

<< Morgan INSTANTLY appeared in front of Cameron>>

BOO!

<<Shoving Alexis with such force to seperate her from Cameron, Morgan cold cocked Cameron across his jaw ..her fist encased in a halo of dark magick.>>

Learn the folly of your ways BOY...as i BEAT you into submission. You will KNOW now who you BETTERS are...and NEVER open your mouth to me again!

<<she followed with a strong uppercut to his chest and stomach. She began BEATING him mercilessly with rapid, repeated blows, punches, strikes, slaps, kicks ..not holding back any of her strength as she broke his jaw, blackened his eyes, broke his ribs, and then began kicking and stomping him. Her face ...enshrouded in shadow...as she continued to attack him. >>

MEANWHILE

<<Alexis...was now severa feet away..and found herself the object of a hoard of demons...at least 8....all of various sizes and appearence...some with wings. the demons had a metallic apparence..indicating they had the techno organic virus...and obviously they were magickal in nature as well. They began to close in on Alexis..intending to kill her and eat her. Would she have the power to fend them off...would her powers avail her ANYTHING in this realm of magick>>
 
Ororo's Garden -- Haleigh Davidoff

Haleigh walked alongside Ororo, staring ahead... her vision seemed to be out of focus... in her mind she was racing to pull together the best strategy... she knew they were in Spellbinders world now.. she remembered the things she'd heard Morgan telling Blaze a while back. She looked at Ororo for a moment, then back out ahead... O seemed adamant to provide excuse for Alison... and she didnt hesitate to make Haleigh the bad guy once more... Haleigh knew what she was saying was very TRUE... but O's inability to admit that perhaps there were better ways ALISON could be handling things sparked a bit of anger...nevertheless... Haleigh chose her words CAREFULLY... for she knew that this was not the place nor the time to make enemies... and she knew that Ororo would be more or less NEUTRAL... and more 'for the Six' than any of them.

"Okay, I was being self-deprecating, not creating a new Haleigh Hate Wagon for everyone to board..."

She said with a soft laugh. She still seemed incapable of meeting the gravity of the situation with appropriate emotion. She took a deep breath... and refrained from saying ANY more about Alsion or Morgan.... though she very much would have liked to... she sensed that O would not budge on the subject... and would always side with those two went it came down to it.... Haleigh didnt blame her... for this was the FIRST time she'd spent more than ten minutes with the woman... and she didn't doubt Ororo had only ever seen TERRIBLE things from Haleigh Davidoff's hands.... her mind drifted.. O seemed to know so much... about the Six and their destiny.... and about what was to come... Haleigh had so many questions... but knew there was so little time.

"I know we must be going... but one more question before we do.... I have the TO virus... I assume it is the SAME that infects the demons of limbo... the ones Morgan have reign over... can you say how that might affect ME?"
 
The Garden--no nonsense

::Ororo made her way to what appeared to be a rather fast flowing, bubbling stream...its path actually made its way through the endless expanse of the garden but where the water fall is was only known to Ororo. she looked down over at Haleigh and motioned to the stream::

take a drink, child. you need to be refreshed from within as well as without. It is good, that you show some sense of remorse for what you have done....your role in all this. Others among you will not be as easy to reach with reason.


:: she looked up to the skies...as her silver hair begins to blow back a bit...for beyond the barrier of her garden, raged the chaos that populated most of Limbo. She heard Haleigh's question...and responded::

you are something of a rarity. a being who maintained their HUMANITY inspite of the infection. It happened once before...with a cross time alternate of MYSELF when that Storm and her x-men joined the avengers and new mutants in fighting the black mage, Kulan Gath. In that case, THAT Storm willinging excepted infection from the hand of her comrade Warlock..

::Ororo held off mentioning that the infection THAT Storm had been reversed by the powers of Magik and Dr. Strange.::

you will be able to do to the demons what THEY would do to your team mates....take their "life glow" and render them inert. but even so, there are as many demons in this realm as their are grains of sand on the beaches of earth. and beware. If you are "kissed" by the blade of Morgan's Soul Sword you will die just as the demons would...and be even beyond MY power to save. Pray to the goddess that she does NOT manifest that blade.
 
Haleigh watched the water flow for a minute... and then knelt down to take a drink... at first she was wary... but figured Ororo had no reason to kill her... especially since she'd bothered with bringing her back from the dead... Halegih let her hand gently into the streaming water... it was chilled to the perfect degree... and for some reason Haleigh's mouth was beginning to water... she dipped both hands into the water adn cupped them together, taking a small sip at first and then larger ones... the water itself was unnaturally refreshing... it was almost sweet... and Haleigh splashed a little on her face before looking back up at Ororo.... who was looking up at the sky. She stayed knelt down as O talked, looking up at her, silent... so she wasnt alone... Haleigh wondered what had become of THAT Storm... and what would become of her... would the TO virus eventually destroy her? Or would it have the opposite effect, and cause her to live longer than natural? But that was a long ways away.... or so she hoped.. she still had to survive Morgan... which was no easy feat. Haleigh nodded.... so Morgan had even MORE tricks up her sleeve... the soul sword... really didnt sound nice... Haleigh sucked in a braving breath and stood up.

"Well... we can't dawdle, I imagine.... the sooner we go... the sooner we can save the city from Morgan.... and Morgan from herself..."

Click to expand...

:: Alexis was blasted a good ten feet from Cameron and Morgan, landing with a thud on the dirt covered ground. Sitting up, Alexis' eyes began to scan around her surroundings seeing about 8 demons circling her. ::

"Great."

:: Now standing, Alexis turned in a 360 degree manor looking at each of the demons.....she wasn't even sure if her powers were of use here. Hopefully they were...otherwise she was as good as demon food. Lowering her hand down next to her side, she formed her hand into a shape that looked like she was holding something. Just as one of the demons took a leap forward, a large 20 foot whip of electricity formed in her hand as Alexis gracefully swung the whip in a circular motion above her head before striking the demon in his torso, sending him flying back. Snapping the whip to the ground, sparks of electricity emitted from the crack, making the demons take a step back. Still uncertain that her powers were useful, she waited a few seconds to see if the demon she already attack was harmed by her powers. ::
 
< Erika was startled by the uprising of the Earth that clenched her body now like a giant hand, suffocating her with an intense amount of pain. Her regenerative abilities were kicking in as she had been able to heal most of the internal wounds and bruises that she was experiencing but the suffocation was another thing all together. She began to try and think in her head a way she could get this enchanted Earth away from her. Closing her eyes, she channeled her elemental control over the Element of Water as slowly but surely her body liquified turning into a pool of water as she splashed out of the grasps of the Giant rock Hand. Reforming behind it she faced Morgan quickly firing a highly charged Mystic Bolt at her which was heading right for the center of her back and spine. While she knew Morgan was much stronger in the Realm of Limbo she was hoping at least the concussive impact would get her to loosen her grip on Cameron. She shouted out to Morgan. >

"Figures you would choose to kill your weaker adversary first, Morgan. I would have thought that your staunch arrogance would have taken over. Let Cameron go.. I will only continue to heal him until you stop this madness at once and return us to EARTH!"

< Honestly, Erika wasn't even sure of what she was saying. She was being directly confrontational and that was something that she almost never did with anyone. Especially in a situation like this one, but with her brother and the WORLD on the line, Erika decided that she might to bypass light and dark and head straight into grey. It might be the only way to protect everyone. She looked over at Alexis who seemed to be handling her own. These demons were going to be tough to beat but she could see that Shockwave was not going to go down without a fight. For an instant, Erika saw what Cameron had seen in her, and understood their attraction to each other. She looked at Cameron once more and turned frantically to Guardian. >

"Alison! We've got to do something! This is ridiculous! She is going to kill him! Blood on her hands will only further and deepen her loss of control!"
 
:: Cameron was quickly losing all the breath that he had in his body due to Morgan's immense physical strength. But Prophet was stubborn as he was powerful and his eyes stayed deadlocked with this Priestess of Bitchcraft. He needed to smarten up. The hit to his jaw had immense pain but he was going to need to be able to channel his power of premonition in a way so that he would actually have a physical form when Morgan tired herself out. Closing his eyes for a second he opened the channel from which he channeled his premonitions. Normally, Cameron wouldn't have tried this but since the potential for magick had been expressed in his body he had just felt all of his powers getting boosted. It was literally like drinking a million Red Bulls. Her fists were fast and furious as as she went right at his face, Prophet felt a woosh of air as he swung his head to the right, missing Spellbinder's punch. He now swung low to the ground and extended his right leg, sweeping her to the ground and to the hard rock floor. It may not have been much but she obviously had something to prove with him. She had killed Haleigh so easily and effortlessly but with him. It was as if she was taking her time. That only furthened Cameron's bloated ego as he laughed and stepped back a few paces before beckoning his hands and smirking in a way that only he could ::

"Come to Daddy!"

:: He laughed as he watched Erika attack her from behind, knowing that the attack would ultimately be stopped since Morgan's powers were extremely heightened in this realm. Although he didn't fully know what he was getting himself into, he was prepared to go out Guns Blazing and No Holds Barred. Morgan would never get the best of him and he would make sure his final words would be something about that tacky dominatrix outfit that she was wearing at the moment. Seriously. Elvira called and she wants her hair and clothes back. Prophet awaited the next move. ::
 
<< one of Morgan's MANY eager demons swooped down..and sacrificed itself...placing itself in the path of Erika's bolt...as it shriekd and disentigrated. this was one of the smaller demons...but Erika, Guardian and Alexis had to remember..that this realm was seemingly endless...as was the supply of demons of ALL varieties. More demons came calling...herding Erika away from Alison...as they clawed and bit at her....if one was to TOUCH her ..she would become infected with the techno organic virus. she soon found herself losing sight of Cameron and Alison as the demons began to swirl around her...slashing at her with daggers and hurling stones at her>>

<<meanwhile..as Morgan fell to the ground while beating Cameron....her laughter flowed around him. it started low and progressed higher as the winds HOWLED. she seemed to be EVERY where all at once. He had managed to act with surprisingly quickness and save himself from being physically pulped. But his luck was on the verge of running out.>>

foolish boy! to think that your TASTE of magick makes you ANY threat to me? This is MY domain..and I can do ANYTHING here!

<< she rose up...stiff as a bored..as her glowing white eyes fixed on Prophert....and as she POINTED at him.........shadow tentacles stretched across the jagged ground and swirled around him>>

like a cat with it's toy...i shall play with you...taking my time as i BREAK your body and your spirit. Your sisters...BOTH of them...cannot protect you from MY POWER!! NOBODY CAN HELP YOU!

<<white blast lines formed around Cameron..as a crack of thunder ROCKED the realm much harder than anything heard or felt on earth...even the DEMONS all around were shocked....and with an eerie sounding chime...Cameron King was now encased within solid AMBER...it WAS thick and as hard as it looked..>>

BUT WAIT...there's MORE!

<<Spellbinder held out her hand...as a silver halo formed around it. Using one of the spells she'd seen Belasco perform in Limbo many moons ago...she EXTRACTED Cameron's skeleton from his body. the skeleton passed through the pillar of amber and was now held in a field of eldritch energy near morgan>>

Erika King...if you try ANYTHING...not only will i turn your magicks BACK upon you the way i did your mother...but i will DESTROY the skeleton of your brother...as it is now..he will suffocate in minutes...and his body would NOT be able to survive without the skeletal sytem...the spinal column which connects to the brain.

<< demons were already coming close...looking hungrily at the bones of the young mutant>>

you see...its about time that you realized..that are things ..BEYOND your power...situations BEYOND your control. and THIS is one of them. You're brother WILL PAY for what he has done WITH HIS LIFE!...he will LEARN who has the power!

<< Morgan now stood in the center of the plateau that they were on....with the encased body of cameron near by while his skeleton was off to the side....>>


------------------------
meanwhile

<< as Alexis drove the demons back with her electro whip...she managed to cause MINOR damage to the larger of the demons in that hoard..while sending the smaller ones scurrying away. She was out of danger for now....just in time to see spellbinder escalate her actions even FURTHER>>
 
::Guardian was slightlly stumbled by the upheavel of ground that attacked Erika...but she kept her footing...an impressive feat for someone who favored wearing stilletto heeled boots. She took stock of the situation..she KNEW Ororo..and HALEIGH were on their way. She had known all along what Ororo would do, which is why she hadnt bothered with Haleigh earlier.::


:: with no expression of concern on her face...she began to thrust her hands forward [like Piper Halliwell] and began blowing up the demons that were attacking Erika. they blew up in cascade effect..one after the other all around Erika..but Alison's control was so fine tuned that the explosions didnt physical harm or burn Erika. she then FROZE the shards of their bodies as the exploded....gesturing again [like Prue Halliwell] she sent the shards flying at high speeds toward the demons that were attacking Alexis...the shards SLICED up the remining demons...leaving horrible green slime like remains.::


Erika, these demons...they are fierce fighters and powered by magick as WELL as carriers of the Techno Organic virus...they will DIE protecting their mistress. The longer we stay, the more will come...and we will be hemed in. I dont know how to navidate this realm or where we could find sanctuary to try to regroup and My power over time will not be as effective in this realm. Time and Space do not apply the same..and I cannot afford to cast any spells...neither can you Erika. Morgan will turn our spells back on us in ANY manner she chooses. She has Cameron...we must NOT provoke her again........just...stand where you are. That spell she cast....is as DEADLY as it looks...and if we do ANYTHING right now...we will seal his fate

::she spoke in such a manner to try to clue erika in that she foresaw help on the way. she knew Ororo was coming and would bring a surprise attack to by the enough time to escape::
 
< Erika watched with horror as Morgan acted against her brother, encasing him in amber and ripping his skeleton from his body. She wanted to act so desperately but the demons were all around her and she could hardly see. She had heard earlier that the Demons of Limbo were infected with the Techno Organic Virus, but after knowing what could have happened to Haleigh she did her best to fend them off and soon Alison made quick work of them as well as the ones that began to descend around Alexis. Listening to Alison as she warned Erika to stay exactly where she was, she couldn't help but be a little skeptical. >

"Alison.. I, I just don't know if I can stand still. I worked so hard to protect him.. I can't lose him now!"

< Tears filled in her eyes as she watched her helpless brother slowly suffocate to death she almost stepped forward before taking a single moment to process things. Alison had just saved Cameron from Morgan and now here she stood doing nothing. There had to be a reason for that. Of course. Alison was a Seer. She could see all probable events in time and the most likely occurences. She must have known something was going to come and rid them from Limbo. They needed to get back to Earth or they all would most certainly be dead. >

"Oh..Goddess help us please!"
