:: Watching Karen finish her attack on the rest of the mannequin's, she nodded to the woman at her concern about Erika and Cameron. ::

"Cameron and Erika are fine...i'm only keeping mannequin's back with my web. Don't worry, Karen."

:: Back stepping as she followed the others out of the Ally, her hand was still raised, continuing to keep the web alive. Stopping, she awaited everyone to pass her before she continued on towards the Empire State building. ::
 
:: As Cameron watched Ororo get clotheslined by a Hockey Mannequin, he knew that this wasn't going to be over as quickly as he had thought it would. More Mannequins came and only this time they seemed even more freakish than the first with weirdly assembled bodies and a renewed hunger for Blood. A group of Hockey Mannequins swarmed both the siblings as he looked over at Erika and could only laugh ::

"This is like some horrible Canadian Musical Gone Wrong!"

:: Before he could say anything he felt an intense amount of pain screaming from his right eye where his pupil had met a hockey puck. He fell to the ground quickly before getting back up to the ground. That was going to leave a mark and Erika herself could already see that it was bruising. Prophet turned back to the group and pushed them back with his mind as he in turn bombarded them with two large dumpsters on the adjacent walls in front of him which toppled the Mannequins to the ground. Quickly he lifted a telekinetic shield over Erika and himself as they began to run at the opening in the web created by Alexis. Any mannequin who detonated the protection of the shield would be blasted back by telekinetic force. He held his sister's hand tight and winked at her. ::

"Well.. we both said we wanted to make memories together..We will never fucking forget these, eh?"

:: They both seemed to jump at the same time through the opening and were now in front of the group to see Ororo, Karen, Alison, Blaze and Alexis almost waiting for them. He smiled and joked with the group ::

"Miss Us?"

:: As Blaze actually gave him a compliment, he wasn't sure exactly what to say. He was liking this new turn of his personality was taking him. For the first time in his life he was trusting these people with his life, which may have been holding him back so many times before in the past ::

"Ah thanks Blaze, you're not so bad yourself, and I can't blame you, I have seen that ass up close and personal and lemme tell ya, it ain't bad.."

:: Points to Alexis as the two share a chuckle ::

"Now come on, let's get to the Empire State Building.."
 
< Erika was now running with her brother out of the mass swarm of Mannequins and to the rest of the Six. While running she began to feel an impending sense of doom. This was no fun, they were running out of the alley like nothing and all of these mannequins would be around to torment the rest of the Citizens of NYC. Twisting her hands she ignited her power to project mystic force and projected it in Flames as the entire group of Mannequins went up in the mystic fire of bright white. She looked at her brother and sighed. >

"Just to be safe..."

< Since bringing Alison back from the Other Side, Erika had felt extremely empowered. She had given into her darkside and it had worked towards her benefit. She had saved her sister and helped this mission continue. Erika was starting to become comfortable with using her powers in a much more offensive way, something she never would have in the path. Perhaps it was the guiding words of Ororo who was pretty much the epitome of what Erika wanted to be magickally in her life. She became lost in thought until she heard something about the Empire State Building. >

"Morgan! We don't have much time.. we have to get to her..."
 
"I bet you have..."

** Blaze said merely under her breath at Cameron's comment regarding Alexis' assets. She wasn't humored by the joke and instead kept on walking ahead of the group. She was desperate to find Morgan but that was a long journey ahead. However, all was not lost, she had her teammates who were there for Blaze. **

** Tossing the hockey stick and crossbow, she raised both hands directly her line of vision in front of her. Firing two massive fire beams which sparkled and flickered like fireworks, tying within and around Alexis' energy beam she created. Walking more quickly, Blaze's eyes constantly zooming every which direction, on guard for attacks. **

"Alison, which direction?"

** She asked quickly, she knew the Seer had an easy opening for the group to enter. They would have to side step Morgan's Mystic alarms. Her fire power was replenishing itself in usually half the time. Looking over her shoulder at Karen, she locked eyes. **

"That's a nifty power you got there...I can see where my sis...Morgan receives that from."

** It was a compliment to Karen, who proved her worth on the team. Even though she wasn't officially on the team, Blaze considered Karen a teammate. She hadn't realized it before but Karen was almost identical to Morgan. Foxfire saw how much the two were. **

"What exactly is the plan?"
 
:: Seeing everyone had passed her, Alexis lowered her hand seeing the mannequin's explode in a firey inferno, via Erika. Well it saved her the trouble of electricuting them. Turning on her heal, the meta human followed the rest of the group, keeping watch for any more demons or objects to attack. This was a very unusual night...demons were one thing, but crazed mannequin's were just a completely different ballgame. Alexis couldn't help but chuckle...this would go down in history as yet another unforgettable night. Hearing Blaze's question about what to do next, honestly...this was for Alison, Karen, and Ororo to figure out. They knew Morgan best, especially in the state that she was in now. ::

"Well ladies, you know our Miss Hellfire best...what's our plan of action."
 
::Ororo was standing near Guardian, straitening her blue robe and white goddess dress...running her hands through her long silver hair ...as a cool breeze flowed over the group::

Ororo: we must move through the air, and make quick our journey. once we arrive at the empire state building...we will fly up the length of the building....

Karen and I will battle Morgan while Guardian does what she know she is destined to do.

there is little i can say to prepare you all....for one or more of us may not survive this fatefull battle. NO HEROICS....Spellbinder will take you at your measure and find you WANTING. Let Karen and I take the risk.

Those of you who can fly assist those who cannot , follow me.

:: a rushing wind is heard as thunder claps...Ororo takes flight with splendid form as the winds bend to her will.::
 
<< Brushing some of her hair back, Karen nodded....she knew that Ororo and herself were at grave risk of dying tonight. But stopping her daughter was her responsibility...and if she lost her life in exchange for the lives of countless others in the city....and the world....she was prepared to face that risk>>




<< she snapped her fingers and in keeping with the traditional form of a witch traveling on branches of wood or other objects, her broom streaked into view and lowered itself down to her. she sat on the broom in a lady like, "side saddle" position, motioning for Guardian to sit behind her. as Ororo took off, Karen and Guardian were propelled high up in the air at high speeds while sitting on the enchanted broom. Without intending to, she resembled "Samantha Stevens" from Bewitched as she streaked through the night sky above the city skyline on her broom>>


Alison......i just want you to know that you're like the daughter i never had. for everything you've done and for the remarkable young woman you've turned out to be....i am glad that you have been in Morgan's life these last few years. I know your own family dynamic was frought with pain...but you were there for my daughter when I could not be. In case i do not make it through tonight....i just want you to know...that you DID have a mother who loved you. I might not be your blood...but you are still my daughter.


<< riding through the air at high speeds, Karen continued to look ahead, her mind racing trying anticipate what she might face when she saw her daughter again....hoping that she and Ororo would be able to reach through this evil armour and into her heart...and RESTORE her>>
 
:: Guardian rides with Karen on the broom, admittedly she had NEVER traveled like this before. preferring to "blink" or fly like Morgan....but something about this method of travel seemed exciting. almost riding a high speed roller coaster with no restraints::


:: Guardian's face showed tremendous concern. She didnt want to see Karen or Ororo die tonight...but the probability for disaster was SO STRONG....she "saw" it almost every time thread she could view. It was almost more than she could bear to hear Karen's words as she put her hand to her forehead::

Karen, please....dont talk like that! We've made it through so far tonight...and whats happening tonight....none of it is your fault! I saw this coming for months, weeks...but i couldnt stop it because I was too busy fighting my own demons. Ororo tried to warn Morgan...but even that was not enough. We just have to stick together!!

I can say this to you since no one can hear us....it means more than i can express in words that you think of me as your daughter. I havent had a mother since i was 15 years old....and Morgan was the sister i never had. I never though i'd see the day where i would WANT to explore the possibility of a relationship with Erika and Cameron. When i left them behind...it was my intention to NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN....but even a Seer cannot CONTROL fate and destiny. I'm starting to see... that i CAN co exist with Cameron and Erika...and even think of Cameron as my brother. Just as there is a chance that you can ALSO give Blaze a chance......she IS Morgan's half sister...and they have been there for each other through thick and thin in years past. Don't shut her out....Morgan needs her just as much as she needs You, Ororo or myself.

I ...i think we ALL want a chance to explore the possibilities that we've seen amongst ourselves tonight....

True to my name of Guardian, i will do all that i can to see that we ALL survive this Inferno...and I know Ororo will do the same.

::Guardian was trying to encourage herself as much as she was Karen....and she hoped that she was right about all of this. they continued to streak through the skies...Guardian's hair was in her trade mark, sleek bun....and only a few strategically placed let down strands blew back in the wind.::
 
"Well here goes nothing.."

:: With a deep breath, this was the battle to end all battles. Morgan was a force to be reckoned with...she should never be underestimated. Alexis knew her chances were slim if she got into an indepth battle with Spellbinder, but her powers were advanced and she was one of the most powerful players on this team. Either way, she would hope that her abilities would atleast keep her alive. Watching Ororo, Karen, and Guardian take flight,. ::

:: Alexis snapped her fingers as a blue disk of energy appeared under the meta human's boots. Raising from the street below, Alexis controlled the disk with her mind, as it zoomed upwards towards the top of the Empire State Building. Riding it like a surf board or snow board, Alexis continued her journey up the building, knowing that her destination could ultimately kill her. ::
 
** For a moment, Blaze thought she was seeing Bewitched in real life with Karen and Guardian souring through the chilly night skyline. Turning to Prophet and Erika, she knew Cameron would assist his sister using his telepathy. Blaze could glide but only for a limited amount of time and climbing the Empire State building was a long trip up. Facing Erika and Cameron, Blaze walked over to them. **

"I'm afraid my powers over gliding will not allow me to climb that high. Do you think I may bump a ride from you Cameron?"

** Asking for help, another positive step for Blaze. Especially asking Cameron, who would have guessed? Wrapping her arms around her waist, she awaited his response. **
 
:: As the others took to the air, it was now down to Blaze, Haleigh, Erika and himself. He could easily lift off with the others who were already in mid flight but there were others who were still on the ground. Although he had never attempted it before he would try to take the others with him, though it wouldn't be easy. He would have to manipulate the telekinetic fields around them, something he wasn't sure if he could do to multiple people. Prophet became surrounded in an electric blue energy as his body began to hover over the ground. He was capable of flight by using his telekinetic power to lift his body in the air as well as to warp the constant telekinetic field that was around him which made him weightless able to lift off into the air as if it was nothing. He looked at the others ::

"Ok, I think I can get us all off of the ground, but if you start to plummet to your death, no skin on my back...

:: Concentrating hard the three of them began to become surrounded by the same energy that Cameron was and slowly but surely were hovering over the ground. They too were weightless but it was Prophet that would have to carry the weight of them on his shoulder. He had telekinetically lifted giant things in his life, the largest being a battle tank on a training compound in Los Angeles, but he had moved that with such speed and not a lot of accuracy. It was a struggle. He was going to have to be completely centered in this. He looked back at the group ::

"Okay guys, this is what I am going to do. We are going to lift off.. You guys don't have much force on your body right now which is why you are hovering. Just concentrate on that, think of being on the moon, just bend your knees and take off. Direction might be hard at first, but if you start to falter, lemme know and I can keep you up.. So let's see if this works..."

:: Prophet instantly lifted in the air and took off into flight at pretty high speeds and seemed to leave the group behind, but he was keeping a watchful eye on all of them with his mind's eye. He knew they should be okay. At least he hoped ::
 
< Erika found herself encompassed in Cameron's telepathic energy as she felt herself levitating off of the ground. As Prophet began to explain things to the group she sighed in her head. >

"Great.. plummeting to my death would be the PERFECT ending to this night.."

< She could only laugh. Things were just so bizarre at this point. Fighting statues and living telephone poles while battling one of the Alpha Demons at Limbo. It was just something right out of a comic book and now in true fashion they were supposed to FLY to the Empire State Building. Erika noted the humor in the situation. >

"Let's just hope Morgan doesn't have any of those Winged Monkeys from the Wizard of Oz."

< Jumping in the air it was quite disorienting. She had never flown before except for on Broom like Karen was doing now, but she certainly didn't have a broom and now here she was like she was learning to walk for the very first time. It was just crazy. She finally gained her stance before she bent her knees and catapulted into the air like a rocket of sorts before trying to catch up to her brother, she called back to the girls and laughed. >

"Think Happy Thoughts! I feel a Peter Pan Song coming On!"
 
** Blaze carefully followed Prophet's directions as she began to bend her knees. Swirls of blue encompassed all around the group of them, making Blaze become surprised at the level of power Cameron possessed. He was known for his defensive style but perhaps he had other tricks up his sleeve. She nodded to the mutant, allowing him control over her now floating form. **

"Sounds good. Keep it up Cam."

** She said in a tone that was encouraging. All of the Six were pushing their powers to the limit and for Prophet this was a small example. Having worked with Scott Summers, Blaze knew about the telepathic mutants the uncanny X - Men possessed. Each of the girls took off upwards in high velocity flight. Blaze grinned at the adrenaline rush, it felt like she was thrown into a sling shot and sky rocketing to the top of the Empire State Building. Glancing over to Erika, who made a quirky comment making Blaze laugh. **

"I know how you feel."

** Foxfire had to slightly shout from the windy air currents and pockets around. But she didn't dare speak too often for Cameron was concentrating on the task at hand. She remained in a stern standing position. Her hair loosely falling out of its pony tail, blowing and wiping around her face, even sticking to her lip gloss. Pulling away a few strands to see the events unfold. Looking around, she gasped at the higher elevation they climbed, noticing the city's buildings and more debris and smoke. Glancing over to Cameron, she was mesmerized at his gift. She had forgotten he was a fellow mutant like herself, a powerful one at that. The sound of her ears popped right when she swallowed from such extreme height. Moving to rub her earlobe, she awaited for everyone to arrive at their destination thanks to Prophet. **
 
<< Spellbinder gestured menacingly over the Darkhold as the walls of the covered area back from the plateau began to swirl and jagged bolts of magick began to fire at random.....as she recited a spell to prime the dimensional walls to waver and give way....with the promise of the blood of an innocent.>>


<< smaller demons danced and celebrated in the shadows and even out on the edges of the plateau while larger demons stood guard. one of them spotting in the far distance some intruders on the horizon>>

N'astirh: Mistress Morgan....they are coming now....Ororo leads them.


<< he stands fast...as Spellbinder whips around with annoyance and hisses with contempt>>

bothersome insects...i shall stop them myself! you stay here....guard the alter and prepare the other demons



<< Spellbinder teleports via stepping disc....and is now in the skies near the top of the empire state building>>


and so they come....thinking they can stop ME...the mistress of all evil! well, ill give them a lesson in humility the wont soon forget!


By Atheia and Percese
Open skies and do your worst!

<< a simple but effective spell....created by Hecate herself and Morgan is only too happy to ignite it against her foes. the skies cry out in pain as they began to shift and swirl....large billowing black cloud bursts form all around the approaching group...as dark lightning strikes attack and TORRENTIAL RAINS pelt them relentlessly followed by HAIL STONES...and violent winds threaten to force them all down ward...turning them every which way>>

back down to the ground...with all the REST OF THE RABBLE...you pathetic swines!
 
::Ororo senses the change in the atmosphere a second before the spell takes effect....looking back and motioning for Karen to hold fast and not break her flight pattern::

::as the violent cloudbursts and storm attack the group....Ororo smiles to herself::

Ororo: powerful as you are Spellbinder, the winds and the rain are MINE to command....i am the GODDESS of nature...and i was LONG BEFORE i turned to magick..and LONG before you were born!

:: flying high and spreading her hands...her hair flows around her in a spiral pattern as her eyes glow....the lightning is drawn to her hands.....the winds pulled into a tight vortex...as the hail stones are caught within that vortex. Ororo EASILY wrests control of the storm from spellbinder....and its now a plaything in her hands. ::

a present to your demons...with my regards, dear Morgan!

:: pulling her arms back before hurling them forward.....the violent storm is sent charging forward ahead of the group.....striking down and destroying on coming winged demons...and doing the work of the group for them. Ororo motions for everyone to carry on....as the storm soon is dispersed at her mental comman::

in the the distance....Spellbinder hovers at the pinnacle of the empire state building...and will no doubt make another strike against us!
 
:: Sheilding her face from the heavy rain and hail, Alexis continued her trek upward towards the top of the Empire State Building. Before the winds could even effect her flying, Ororo used her powers wonderfully and reversed Spellbinder's attack, sending it to her minions. Killing two birds with one stone was always fun. Zooming full speed, she heard Ororo's warnings and noted them.....perhaps Prophet could use a little assistance, especially since he had never used this telekinetic abilities in such a way like this before. ::

"Cam!! Let Blaze go! I got her...Morgan is going to continue to attack, you need to strengthen your powers for yourself, your sister, and Hales!"

:: Alexis had used her powers like this before, therefore it wouldn't be a struggle to keep herself and Blaze afloat. Turning around quickly, Alexis pointed her hand to Blaze as an energy disk, much like her own, appeared under the woman. The moment Cameron lowered his telekenetic bubble, Blaze would be surfing the clouds on an energy surf board. ;) Lowering her hand, Alexis went next to the flying Blaze, and followed next to her. ::

"You're going to enjoy this...it's like surfing on clouds!"

:: With a laugh, ALexis always loved this form of transportation. It was fun and exhilerating all in the same time. Looking back up towards their destination, she continued to climb up the large building, anticipating what attack Spell had for them next. ::
 
:: Prophet watched in the skies as they began to swirl and darken. Of course Morgan was planning to attack at the moment where Cameron was trying to focus intently, however Ororo came through like a Champion and saved the group as she turned the storm back on Morgan's demons of Limbo. He smiled to the group and smirked ::

"Am I the only one who thought that was TOTALLY Hot?"

:: He laughed as he nodded at Alexis who was going to now take Blaze off of his hands which would lessen the strain on himself. As the disc appeared beneath blaze, he let go of his hold on her and allowed her to effortless land on the disc. He propelled faster into the air catching up with Alexis as well as Karen and Ororo. He was quite pleased that he had managed to pull taking others with him in flight. It was just a testament to how much stronger the group was when they were together and almost harmonious. Cameron had felt it since the moment in the Citadle when Haleigh, Alison and himself killed Imagiog. The surge of energy he felt, the rush of his power, it just seemed more brutal, more stern. He liked how that felt. Prophet had felt a little inadequate next to these group of women whose powers had proved much more effective in dealing with the many magickal creatures they had faced. Telekinesis was something that Cameron was still developing and it stunk that it was usually his only defense. He was just waiting for the moment when the things they had yet to fight weren't immune to his powers. Cameron would show them all that he was a powerful attribute to the group. As he surged forth he looked at the group around him. They were all really working together. It was the first time that the Six had ever been this unified and it was something that he wanted to experience. With Morgan. She was apart of this and it was horrendous that it took her explosion and loss to darkness as a wake up call for all of them. They shouldn't have been so selfish, so arrogant, so rude. None of this would have happened. He could see the Empire State Building in the Horizon and he wanted to get there so badly. For the first time in his life, he wanted to Save Morgan. ::

"We're almost there guys. Let's just push through it..."
 
::they were so high above the city..higher than they would normally be if the Empire state building had not grown to obscene heights this unholy night. the red moon hung low in the sky..and glared upon the group with an unwelcoming red glow....as the glouds began to grow thicker...but they parted as Ororo's winds pushed through...making sure that everyone could see clearly ahead::

:: the group had covered alot of ground..and the empire state building was growing closer and closer.....and the view of it was moer terrifying..its outer walls were filled with slimey tentacles...and the petrified faces of terrified citizens were etched into the building..as winged demons flew around at the summit of the sky scrapper::


::as she and Karen flew on....a chime sounded off...and in a burst of violet hued energy, THREE large black and yellow demonic looking WASPS appeared. these WASPS were as large as the DRONESthat Prophet, Guardian and Shockwave had faught months ago....and there were THREE of them. they looked very sturdy in their appearence...and would NOT be effected by water or electrical attacks.....as they began to close in on Prophet....this was Morgan's special present for him ...the first of MANY. from their eyes...they fired large beams of extreme concussive force....their stingers glowed...as their wings flapped so fast they blurred. these extremely large creatures seemed adept at aerial combat.::

** Blaze smiled over at Cameron at his strong sense of concentration...you know....he was rather appealing even for someone like Blaze. She hadn't noticed the storm evolve until a large chunk of hail slammed into her shoulder. A small gasp echoed off in the distance while she rubbed her shoulder, directing her eyes upward when a massive torrential down pour of rain battled into her as well. **

"Gotta love Morg."

** She mumbled while items of her clothing began to cling to her athletic body, she was helpless here. Of course water was a weakness for the firestarter but luckily Ororo rescued them all from the devastating Storm. Moving to wring out her shirt, she blinked her eyes to adjust from the watery assault. She felt like a wet dog or something. Shaking her long drenched locks with added water tossing in various directions. Shockwave's voice could be heard in the background, making Blaze look around for the Meta Human. Wasn't she so sweet, helping Cameron out. Foxfire nodded to both her comrades just when an energy disk lowered under her feet. **

"Niiiceee."

** She smirked when she fell through and soured into the dark stormy clouds with Alexis coming next to her. Peering down at her boots, she turned her body to the side fiercely, riding the thick puffy clouds. Overhearing a soft chime, Blaze scanned the clouds. She knew Morgan always carried a chiming sound. Glancing to her right, she spotted three large creatures that resembled wasps. **

"And so it begins....CAMERON, look out!"

** She carefully timed her attack now while souring through the clouds, moving closer to the insect who was targeting Prophet. Opening her hands, she hurled a frenzied ballistic fire bolt at the beasts wings. Blowing it a kiss, she winked over to it. **

"Over here boys...."

** Blaze quickly sent out a telepathic message to Prophet to gain his hand into this as well. **

Cammy, this is Foxy, you recall the divide and conquer method right? Do it! I'll call them out and you try to maybe tk their wings off if not we can burn them all to hell! Target their wings...that's most likely a vulnerable weakness...watch for the stinger....

** Placing two fingers within her mouth, Foxfire sharply whistled to direct the wasps in her direction while Prophet prepared to attack them. **

"Meet the REAL Queen bee bitches...have been since 2003!"

** Climbing higher to the elevation, Blaze quickly flew into the security of some clouds. She was testing to see strengths and weaknesses. An idea hit Blaze once more with a grin. **

Cameron, can you clone yourself? Maybe give them a dummy account for them to attack....get them when they least expect it. Let the others know too.
 
:: Laughing at Fox's reaction to being able to surf on the clouds, Alexis smiled before she continued to fly towards the Empire State building. But of course, Morgan had a few more tricks up her sleeve. Seeing thise huge wasp like demons come flying towards Cameron, she watched as Blaze attacked them with bolts of fire, trying to distract the wasps from heading towards Cameron. Tilting her weight to the side, she began to zoom towards the wasps as she thrusted her hand forward, sending bolts of lightning crashing into the wasps...but they were not effected. ::

"Shit.."

:: Obviously these creatures could withstand electricity, which sucked in Alexis' case...but don't count the meta human out. She still had other tricks up her sleeves that didn't involve electricity. Olding her hand out, an orb of energy surrounded one of the closer wasps to Cameron. Waving her hands much like Prue, Alexis controled the energy bubble sending the wasp flying into the second one. Once the two were about to make contact, the bubble dissapeared, and the wasps crashed into each other violently. Tilting in the opposite direction, she zoomed away from the two wasps, hoping to distract them so Blaze and Cam could get an attack together. ::
