:: Persephone's long amber locks blew back behind her shoulders, cascading down her back like melted chocolate. The cool wind kissed her face, giving her a strange feeling of belonging--comfort even. But what Persephone heard next was something that she was even skeptical about. Ororo's voice blew with the wind, as green sparkles zipped past all five woman. ::

"I did..."

:: Answering Darkchilde softly. Looking toward the sky, Persephone swept her eyes across the vast area seeing the weather change. Everything seemed slightly brighter, more at peace. A faint smile curled on the goddesses lips....Her team. Ororo and Karen. They were watching over them. Their spirits were at peace. And that alone was the best gift anyone could give her. ::

:: Looking to Darkchilde, Persephone gave her a small, reassuring smile. ::

"Leave it to Ororo to keep us guessing...even in death."

I like the reaction of Persephone in this post. It's really nice to see her back in action again. :)
Limbo- the garden

:: Guardian was right about the Darkchilde. though she was the most powerfull and ruthless of the three in the trinity, her rage had been tempered by wisdom and lessons learned. in many ways she was more like her mother and ororo than perhaps she gave herself credit for. but Guardian remained quiet, giving Darkchilde and Persephone due space to honor and mourn their fallen family.::

:: as the myst flowed around them, Guardian looked at Blaze and Haleigh, thankfull that she had them with her..not only because they were her team mates but because through all of THEIR PAIN and THEIR LOSS, they had managed to stick together. they were a family and DC saw that, she acknowledged it.::

its easy to dismiss the dark trinity as just a trio of blood thirsty witches...but just like Morgan, Darkchilde has so much depth and understanding. she hides her heart like Morgan did . the Armor she wears..its almost a metaphor

::soon, she too felt the mysterious wind that gusted and flowed, it felt soo soothing and nice over her face as she looked up and closed her eyes. the winds, the sparkling orbs::

:: whispering to Blaze and Haleigh:: Do you hear it? it's Ororo! even now. She was RIGHT...in Limbo, ALL things, times, places and even PEOPLE are possible and in her garden, her spirit remains strong, one with the nature she commands.

:: Guardian felt a subtle feeling of happiness for DC, knowing that she and Persephone now had a peace about them regarding their family and friends. after all these years and The Six had helped make it possible. it was one of the best things they had done yet.::

:: as Darkchilde stood up, looking happier than she had since they first arrived, Foxfire addressed her and then stepped back.
 
Ororo's Garden

<< Darkchilde breathed more easily, now that she had finally found peace. as she looked at Persephone, her icy violet eyes had a hint of the joy that they once displayed when Masters of Evil reigned supreme.>>

<< in an icy voice>>: If anyone could, its Ororo. We are after all in her garden oasis where her magick was strongest. IN death, she finally became one with nature.

<< as the winds settled a bit and the chimes faded, Darkchilde looked upon Foxfire and her team as Foxfire addressed her. this young mutant had a strength of courage and heart much like the enigmatic Dark Faerie, Betrayal from MoE. Darkchilde towered over Foxfire as she came closer and looked upon her. >>


<< in an icy voice>>
Foxfire, From the brief glimpses i saw of Spellbinder...the look in her eyes when she fought Master Mold... I could tell that she was a woman of tenacity. That she thrived in battle, much like I did when MoE waged war with GoL. But I also sensed the desire she had to protect you and your allies. I can look at you all and feel the pain. I have suffered with that same pain. But years ago, when i was a lost, scared little girl in this realm, ORORO.. STORM came for me. She and her X-men. They fought to save me...and they all died except Ororo. The pain she felt then as she grieved for her fallen X-men is the same pain I felt for my fallen MoE family and it is the same pain YOU feel. we are all connected in this way. We are also connected in many other ways. The Dark Trinity and those connected to us are privilaged to live a life that is not necessarily bound by time and space. Things can happen, some people can come and go and COME again. But ultimately, its the FAMILY spirit that you share that keeps you going on. Thanks to you...i have part of my family back.

<< looking at Persephone>>

and now, it is time for me to help YOU the way Ororo helped ME.

<< looking at Guardian DC moved on to the task at hand>>

There is a way for you to get YOUR family back. I can control the stepping discs that populate this realm COMPLETELY, allowing you to go forward OR BACKWARD in time.

<< thunder rumbled in the air as DC looked serious>>

the way to get your Morgan back...is to go back to the moment of her death and SNATCH her from the path of the Seige Perilous. You see, what Guardian saw in her dream, was in fact Morgan. Her own power to use the stepping discs, the power each part of the dark trinity shares, instinctively activated to save her from TOTAL expungement by the Seige Perilous once she was pulled in. But she did not escape the process completely. She has no idea who she is now...or what she can do. she floats in a realm that is the next best thing to Oblivion. ALL it would take is for her to even SUBCONSCIOUSLY wish for a disc and she would port back to HER timeline's limbo. but she CAN'T.

<< pointing to the group>>

from here, i can send you back to that moment in the battale with Master Mold. You would have ONE chance to act to snatch Morgan from the Seige Perilous and ONCE you secure her, you will be forcibly pulled BACK into the disc and shunted back to your own timeline. You will arrive in Limbo of course, but there, you will have your timeline's....Ororo.

<< she paused for a moment. perhaps secretly envying them for having Ororo alive and well in their timeline>>

I will do this for you.....but YOU must do something for me! it is the condition upon which i will agree to help you.


<< as she said this...she looked around the gloomy and mysterious garden. thunder continued to rumble in the air. littlle flashes of lightning were hidden in the black billowing clouds of the midnight skies>>
 
Limbo- The garden

::Guardian listened carefully. Darkchilde had just given them the KEY to theier goal. She would send them THROUGH time via Limbo back to the moment of Morgan's DEATH and with precious few moments to act, they could save Spellbinder from the brink of death and oblivion! It all sounded so SIMPLE it was allmost impossible to believe.::

:: speaking in a cool tone, the seer's cobalt blue eyes met with Darkchilde's icy violet eyes as she addressed the sorceress::

Darkchilde, thank you.your understanding, your hospitality, inspite of ALL that you have suffered, it is truly amazing. You are a CREDIT to your mother AND ororo's legacy.

:: Darkchilde mentioned a condition to her helping, and Guardian was a bit surprised by this but remained undaunted.::

What is it that you require?
 
the condition

<< Darkchilde took a moment, she knew Persephone would be shocked and most likely resistant to this, but it was for the best. it was what needed to be done.>>


<< in an icy voice>>:

My world on earth is no more. Like Ororo before me, I have nothing to go back to. My familly, friends, my lover are gone. Limbo is my realm, I am its mistress and it is apart of me just as I am apart of IT but PERSEPHONE does not belong here. She never did and to keep her safe, Ororo turned her to stone to preserve her until we could return to Earth. Obviously that moment was not meant to be, but NOW, thanks to you all, she has a second chance.


<< looking at Persephone>>

When i send you back to your timeline to earth, you must...take Persephone with you. Help her begin her life anew on EARTH where she will live healthy and find new adventures.

I must ensure that she be able to LIVE her life, just as people in my life did for ME when i needed it most. I know that she will be safe with you all, and your timeline's Ororo will guide her just as ours did here. She will make a great asset to your team as well with her powers and skills.

If you accept this condition, then I will proceed to open a disc that will send you back to that moment in time to save Spellbinder.
 
the garden

Noticing DC walking to her, the mutant had to strain her neck to look up. She felt slightly intimidated by the woman, but comforted to know she could assist them. DC explained she could relate to the pain and misery the team, but also how similar both timelines were.

A light smile tugging upwards at her lips, not at the painful memory but to actually see this time line version, the Darkchilde. It was understandable to see why she was the most potent of the three.

Guardian and Darkchilde conversed on a rescue plan to remain Morgan. Her heart skipped a beat, the thought of Morgan...alive and well it brought mists to her eyes. Blaze was all too eager to execute this plan but DC addressed a second matter. Foxfire was oddly curious of what this could be.

And as Guardian asked, DC explained. Blaze was rather amused by this...her smile growing into a wide grin. She knew Alison dislike for the Goddess, look out Jerry Springer, its the battle of the bitches. She chuckled under her breath as her own thought.

Her fist reaction was to see Persephone's reaction, who would clearly object or would she? Blaze wasn't quite sure if the Goddess could fit in...but then again anything was possible. As the realization of returning to the past loomed Blaze frowned.

"I don't know if I can return Alison....I was there that day but after Jasmine was taken away....is it possible for me to return back in time despite my counter part and Jasmine?" She never understood the whole going back in time thing.
 
Ororo's Garden

:: Persephone stood quietly as Foxfire addressed Darkchilde. The mutant seemed fearless. As unpredictable as the fire she weilds. Yet her spark seemed dampered as she spoke of her sister; of Spellbinder. Looking to and from Darkchilde and the six, they began to discuss how exactly DC was going to help them. ::

:: Lowering her brows with a slightly confused expression on her face, what did Darkchilde mean by 'help you the way Ororo helped me'. Persephone needed no assistance. She was revived and with her sister wraith. Yes her teammates were dead, but she wasn't completely alone. They could rebuild what they had; become the powerful assasins they once were. ::

:: Looking to Guardian as Darkchilde continued to explain the plan at hand, Persephone's eyes widdened in shock as Darkchilde finally spoke of her terms. ::

"Excuse me?"

:: Shaking her head, Persephone instantly protested. Her arms unfolding as she took a step toward Darkchilde. ::

"No..No-Absolutely not. I'm not going with them. I'm not leaving my life behind when I finally got it back!"
 
Limbo- the garden

:: Guardian's cobalt blue eyes flashed with irritation, both at Foxfire AND Persephone. In Persephone's case, Guardian knew that this woman would be woefully out of her element in their timeline and her patience with this woman would wear thin QUICKLY. Powerfull as Persephone was, she DIDNT know what Guardian was capable of...both as a woman and as a witch.::

:: Blaze, whose question needlessly complicated things, was met with an abrupt response::

Blaze, Darkchilde can move ANYONE forward or backward in time. You and Jasmine are not apart of some multiversal trinity, which means you can exist simultaneously in any timeline if it became a factor. However we will be traveling back in time through a disc for ONE PURPOSE..to snatch Morgan from the moment of entering the Seige Perilous. the SHOCK of that change will hopefully JAR "Morgan" as she appears in oblivion ENOUGH for her to activate her own stepping discs one more time....and she will be made whole again....in OUR timeline of Limbo.

:: Guardian was easily able to fill in the blanks of Darkchilde's general plan, being the tactician of the six as well as understanding of the powers of the dark trinity, it made PERFECT sense what Darkchilde was planning....except for the last part about PERSEPHONE.::

:: speaking on behalf of her team::

Darkchilde, as a Seer, you know that i am able to see through all time and space just as you are able to MOVE through it. Persephone WILL be out of her element in more than one way. The time in which we live is a world of technology...the people are hard as stone. there is little place for a "goddess" with delusions of grandeur.


::Guardian was bold and NEVER afraid to speak her mind and Persephone, as far as SHE could tell would be nothing but a liability. She didnt want to be difficult with Darkchilde but SHE had to think of her team as well. She stood tall, in her sexy, contouring leather, one shouldered body suit as her blue/ black hair blue in the wind. thunder rolled in the distance again as she confronted the conditions of Darkchilde's assistance.::

She will cause more problems than anything else and she will not be regarded as a "goddess"...only as a mutant or metahuman.
 
As Guardian explained Darkchide's agenda rather boldly and with a hint of irritation. The mutant's eyes easily burned with annoyance of her own but for Alison. Crossing her arms over her chest, she perked a curious brow at Guardian's argument before shaking her head wildly.

"I think you underestimate Persephone, Alison. True to form, she IS a Goddess but like any of the Olympian Gods and Goddess, I'm sure she can adapt to her climate. I think Darkchilde's idea is brilliant, she is looking out for her friend. Besides Persephone could even visit the realm of Limbo in the form of Darkchilde's stepping disks if need be, unless I'm misunderstanding. We are down to four of us, but with Delilah out of the loop its now dropped to three. With all you have seen and been through YOURSELF, at least give the woman a shot despite your overall dislike for her."

Foxfire was also another member of the team who spoke her mind without fear. She did not agree with Guardian's decision and for her to "make the decision for the team" highly provoked the fiery mutant.
 
:: Narrowing her eyes to Guardian, Persephone let out a short laugh of irritation. This woman was outrageous and far too cocky for her liking. ::

"Our world and your world aren't as different as you might think. For being a "seer of all time and space", surely you would have known that. Unless of course you are bluffing, and Limbo has hampered your powers? Limiting your visions of how far in the past and future you can see?"

:: Calling Guardian out, Persephone lifted her brows, giving the woman time to "answer". After a few seconds, the goddess glanced to the two other woman before looking back at the brunette. ::

"I've seen and dealt with my fair share of technology. Not as advanced as your time, as it may be, but nevertheless I know what I’m capable of. Regardless of what YOU may think or "see"."

:: Rolling her eyes away from Guardian, Persephone looked to the smaller brunette as she spoke against Guardian. Perhaps her "team mates" weren't as whipped as Persephone once assumed. ::

"There's no need to argue against her. I'm not going to your timeline, nor do I have the desire to."
 
Limbo- the garden

:: Guardian squared her shoulders as she folded her arms, locking her cobalt blue eyes upon the goddess with a cold glare. another aspect of Alison was REASSERTING itself. that of the cold, brutal, calculating witch who would do whatever it took to HUMBLE her opponent. She completely ignored Foxfire as she immediately retorted Persephone.::

Persephone, if anyone is full of bluster and bluff it is YOU. Or did you not realize that I am well aware that with every passing moment in Limbo that you are becoming gradually weaker, and that you are THE MOST susceptible to the darkness of the realm of anyone present?

:: the winds whipped a bit, almost coincidental to this confrontation as the subtle chorus of insects all around the garden seemed to stop for a moment and the thunder was a little louder, more stacatto in its duraction::

::speaking in a cold, direct tone as her voice seemed to be like a focused harpoon of contempt::

One thing that i can CLEARLY "see" despite whatever hinderance this realm has on my powers ...just as it does on YOURS... is that you are LEGENDARY for your selfish, self absorbed, lofty ways. Your every move in your life before meeting Darkchilde was an exercise in errosion of everything and everyone around you. You are STILL that hapless, petty, careless little girl that mythology books portray you to be in THIS and EVERY TIMELINE, though you may TRY to play at being a big girl now. Oh yes, I can see RIGHT THROUGH YOU.

:: lightning flared even through billowing, swirling black skies above as the leaves on the weeping willow nearby began to rustle and sway more loudly. Guardian clearly was not afraid of Persephone and THe Six were all too aware of how BRUTAL she could be, even WITH HER OWN TEAM MATES if she was crossed the wrong way. The Seer and the Goddess would not get along anytime soon::

THERE's the "brutal" Guardian we all know and love! LOL I love how she's not afraid to take on ANYONE and face off against them. good work.
Foxfire was already growing impatient but while the group of women argued who would stay or leave, Blaze shut her eyes. That throbbing migraine returning to harass her with pain and agony. Gritting her teeth she clenched both hands into balled fists, revealing white knuckles. Her heart beat boosting her adrenaline rush that she felt overtake her body.

"ENOUGH!!"

Barked Foxfire whose eyes opened with a dark fiery crimson tint. She glanced to Persephone and then to Guardian. She wanted to strike both of them down and it was obvious in how brutal she looked.

"This is not about EITHER of you! Persephone, Darkchilde is offering YOU a way out, a new freedom in life. You cannot stay here in this realm, your body does not have the capabilities to withstand this environment. Remember not everything is lost through time and space, you WILL see Darkchilde again."

Foxfire stepped closer to Guardian, the other woman towering over her. But despite the height difference Blaze was adamant about defying her team captain.

"And as for you Alison, this is also NOT about what you want, what you SEE, its about MORGAN! Darkchilde is offering a chance to get my SISTER back and I will do WHATEVER it takes to see she is brought home safely. For once stop trying to see ahead to the future, for once put your petty moral qualms aside, and THINK of Morgan!" Blaze's eyes locked heavily with the Seer.

"I'm tired, exhausted, and hurt from this pain we have ALL experienced. But I push myself further at the slightest chance of regaining Spellbinder. For once I'm putting my foot down and I will be selfish! I don't CARE what either one of you want, Persephone your coming with us and Alison if I hear so much as one OBJECTION from you I swear we'll leave you hear!" She remarked coldly, the area around them grew more humid in temperature.

"Don't you see? This isn't about any of us...its about Morgan. She's off in another world...helpless, hurt with no recollection of WHO she is...with Master Mold breathing down her neck. I cannot stop until I see my sister, because I know she would do the same for me. Now, is not the time to waste time, Darkchilde offers us the transportation we need to get to Morgan."

Foxfire stepped back from Guardian, enough to keep both the Seer and the Goddess in her eye sight. "Both of you are being SELFISH and I will not tolerate it! Shake it off, suck it up, whatever you both need to do, but we are leaving!"

not the time or the place

<< raising an armoured hand in the air, thunder CRASHED at the same time she screamed out>>

STOP IT!

<< her voice and the thunder echoed as they slowly faded. the winds whistled faintly as chimes played in the air>>

<< in an icy voice>>

Guardian, Persephone, Foxfire....All of you, PLEASE, don't waste your time like this.

<< Darkchilde put her hand to her forehead. she was thrust into a new position, she felt more like Ororo, possessing a higher level of understanding than she ever had during her time in the ADA or MoE. It was a new era for her and she intended to make SURE that she had learned from her mistakes>>

<< in an icy voice>>


Listen to me, all of you.

<<turning to Foxfire.>> I realize that yours is a spirit of curiosity and passion, but learn to know when to question someone and when not to. Your Guardian is a most VALUABLE asset to your team and had she been with us in this timeline 25 years ago...who KNOWS how things could have turned out. Don't lose site of YOUR goal, which is to see your sister returned to you.

<<looking at Guardian>> your a woman whom i respect greatly. your boldness, your capacity for brutality, your almost mechanical efficiency, i can perceive it so strongly. In another time, I would've loved to have battled by your side against the GoL and had you among the MoE. I'll always count meeting you and your team as one of the many rewarding learning experiences of being in Limbo. But remember to consider your friends feelings. They are your family, just like MoE was mine. Persephone is my sister and...you can't just writer her off like that. She's an honorable woman too. You may "see" more than everyone here, but neither you nor i can gauge the true worth of a person by use of a power. I learned that from Ororo along time ago when SHE chose to help ME and my MoE family rather than turn away from us because we were "evil."

<< and finally turning to Persephone>>: listen, I understand you dont agree with this. I know you're not happen, i can see it deep in your eyes.

<< the winds howled as DC's blonde double highlighted hair blew in the wind>>

But you have to remember that ,as leader of the MoE, that while I took great pride and JOY in destroying my foes and crushing their skulls, i ALSO took great CARE in doing what was best for all of you. Not just the team, but YOU and Alessandra and my core family. I made descisions that ensured we would all remain together and safe. That is what any competent team leader does..what any "big sister" wouod do.

<< pausing for a moment>>

You know that Guardian is right and so do I. You will get sick and you will die if you remain here. I will not lose ANYONE ELSE under my watch and even though we are the ONLY MoE left...we are still representing. As long as we are alive in THIS or any timeline, our legacy remains and we carry that with us no matter where we go in our lives.

You must...you WILL go with them. There is nothing here for you in Limbo. This is my realm. I real this place and command the demons therein and this realm serves more than just as my personal domain...it is the gateway to what some humans so quaintly refer to as HELL.

<< thunder rumbles again as DC pauses and looks among the women with her icy violet eyes grimly surveying each of them.>>

I am thinking of you, and I am doing what is best for you. Your life as it was..is over. You can start anew just as you did the LAST TIME before you met me! Going forward does not mean you will FORGET or that you will never SEE me again....it simply means that you are moving on.

You will be in a timeline where Ororo is ALIVE, where a version of ME exists and will most likely welcome you as i did. You will have the opportunity to be whoever you want to be now, free of the pain that comes from being lost in Limbo. Do not resist me, HEAR me and understand. Know that i do this, because I care for you, Persephone. You are my only remaining family. and i must ensure that you LIVE.

<< Darkchilde looked upon her sister Wraith, right into her eyes. her voice was so icy, but there was a undertone of concern and kindness that was rarely seen in times past. CLEARLY DC had changed over the last 25 years. grown from the pain of loss and lessons learned and now she was doing what was best to make sure Persephone would have the kind of life worth living.>>

go with them.

you can see the wisdom in DC. it's like the torch is being passed from Ororo to DC in this timeline.

Outstanding post. DC has some a long way from brutal - vicous woman to a more wise, carefree spirit. Nice set of pace, and understanding.
:: Stepping forward as Guardian began to insult and berate Persephone, the goddess' blood began to boil the more the woman spoke. Once finished, before Persephone could even retaliate back, or knock the bitch in the face, Blaze stepped in, as bold and confident as ever. Shifting her cold glare to the mutant, Persephone could see she was getting fed up with not only the situation, but with her so called "leader". Obvious Guardian was the strongest of their team as of late with Spellbinder's death. But she didn't rule everything about them, and Blaze made that very apparent. ::

:: Glancing back over to Guardian, meeting her with equally cold eyes, the goddess finally heard Darkchilde speak. She had changed, it was apparent in her voice; the way she approached situations. Obviously she had grown since the MOE, otherwise Guardian would of met her demise right then and there. Darkchilde made it abundantly clear that Persephone were to go with them, but it wasn't that simple. Or at least the goddess wasn't going to MAKE it that simple. ::

"You don't fool me, cookie."

:: Persephone snapped coldly at Guardian, with a soft yet sadistic tone. The witch could believe what she wanted. To continue to stand high on her pedestal of confidence and bitchiness. But she was about to meet her match and get knocked off her high horse. ::

:: Moving away from Darkchilde, Persephone didn't look at her. In fact, she kept her back to her old friend for making her do this. For not thinking outside the box and going down the easiest road mapped out for them. Yes she still loved Darkchilde. Yes she would always think of her as a sister and a best friend. And yes, if she was ever in danger, trouble, or needed help of any kind, Persephone would drop everything to help her. But right now, she was pissed. ::
 
Haleigh stayed characteristically reticent for a long time... she watched with little input as they revived Persephone... sighed with slight impatience as her comrades convinced the woman to help them, observed with measured silence as Persephone brought Darkchilde back to her 'self'. Haleigh was struck again with how uncanny the resemblance between the dark trinity was... it pained her to see Darkchilde almost... to be so close to Morgan and yet so far... and to realize that they were ALL doomed to feel this kind of pain for a long time, even after Morgan was returned to them.

Haleigh was still quiet as the conversation bounced back and forth among the others... in fact, she was quiet for so long that the others might wonder if she HAD no voice.... but as Darkchilde revealed her price for helping them get Morgan back... and Persephone rejected the idea... AND the subsequent attempts to reason with her... Haleigh stepped forth with a voice marked in determination, and a confidence of her own that suggested she had no DOUBT in what she was saying.

"Persephone... I can understand your reluctance to leave this place... Darkchilde is all you have left, and she represents all that you know of your former life... but what YOU must understand is that my friends and I are at the end of our rope... we are BEYOND the point of crisis.... we have traversed Limbo through time and space by BLINDLY jumping into random stepping discs trying to find Darkchilde in the slim hopes that she might help us... and we are willing to do WHATEVER it takes to get back OUR timeline's version of the Dark Trinity.... INCLUDING taking you by force if you make that necessary. Pout and sulk all you want. Hate your Sister Wraith for making the choice that is hard, but best for you... but I WILL NOT allow you to stand between us and Spellbinder... so in the interest of making this go smoothly... I must advise you to come WILLINGLY... you will only be making it harder on yourself..."
 
:: Things were going to be far from peachy when interacting with this group of bull headed individuals. It was apparent, regardless of Darkchilde's requests, that niether Persephone, nor the group of woman, would get along any time soon. This entire situation was a ticking time bomb waiting to go off. ::

"Save your all inspiring speech about how hard you worked to get here. Darkchilde has made it clear that I am not to stay, therefore I am leaving with you. No "force" is necessary."

:: The blonde finally decided to voice her opinion, but like the others, she decided to give a grand speech as to how they got here and how they were attempting to save their friend. Persephone found it quite funny that they spoke with such confidence and grandure, yet their eyes revealed nothing but guilt and insecurity when speaking of Spellbinder. ::

:: Crossing her arms along her chest, Persephone finally turned to Darkchilde, raising a single brow as she awaited her old friend to bring forth a stepping disc so they could get this mission on it's way. ::
 
Foxfire's was seething with rage now from everyone's tawdry comments. She crossed her arms with a huff. She glanced over to Persephone who seemed to be delaying their exit to save Morgan. Any other time she MIGHT have had patience but now that luxury wore thin with the fiery mutant.

Her fists tightening the more Persephone spoke, did this woman ever shut - up? God, she was worse than one of those automobile salesman. The group was all locked in a stand off due to their speech's and their body language. Which, was a cue for DC to mediate between the group, even suggesting a more peaceful approach. Blaze's green pools going wide, now I KNOW I've seen everything. She thought, she was utterly surprised to see this version more tranquil and wise, a nice contrast to the former bloodthirsty warrior. Blaze was hardly complaining, in fact maybe the Demon Sorceress could calm the situation at hand.

And it did as Persephone supplied signs of movement, despite her objection, the Goddess KNEW the Six weren't allowing it. Her eyes dashed to Haleigh, who had been oddly stoic and silent throughout this whole journey. Foxfire was curious why the woman was so quiet, but knew better. Haleigh always spoke when she had a point to express, an argument to be made, or jumping into battle.

Black Widow's argument was very much like Blaze's except less fiery. The mutant watched on as Persephone turned to her comrade. Unfolding her arms, Blaze tossed a bit of chocolate locks over her shoulder. Her mind racing to Morgan...her heartbeat doubling the more she pictured her sister....huddled into a "fetal position" as Guardian described.

It was true, this journey...this nightmare was allowing Foxfire to be bold, courageous, and upfront. Something the team had not witnessed in so long. But, it just went to show that blood was far thicker than water. And even if Blaze and Morgan were born from different mothers, it proved their sisterly bond still existed. Blaze was far too determined and stubborn to give up, she wanted Morgan back and it showed. She was stepping it up, she was becoming pro - active, she was...much like Morgan with a few minor differences.
 
It's time!

<< Darkchilde watches as the women exchange. she knows that Persephone will not mesh well with them in their time but change is never easy. Just look at what was going on NOW.>>

<< Darkchilde shakes her head as her body contouring eldritch armour gleams. Her disapproval is conveyed through her facial expressions. her icy violet eyes firmly fixed on Foxfire and Black Widow>>

<< in an icy voice>> Persephone has always been...stubborn. But she is still my sister. UNDERSTAND that YOU are not TAKING HER ANYWHERE.

<< thunder rumbles in the air all around them as the winds blow more steady around them in the dark, gothic garden. Though Darkchilde had to send Persephone out of Limbo, she wanted it CLEAR that these women would not be dogging her out...at least not in HER presence.>>

I am SENDING her away for her own sake. It occurrs to me that she will have the chance to make a new life for herself in your timeline just as she made one in THIS timeline after she was cast out of her realm of Olympus.

<< turning to Persephone as she grabbed her by the arm to get her attention>>: And as for YOU. Don't you DARE take an attitude with me. I am still The Darkchilde and I'll stick kick your ass. Everything that i did while running MoE was for US...for YOU and this is no different. You know you can't be here for long and you know that as long as you are in the vicinity of one of my cross time alternates, you'll have a way to contact me. so DON'T give these people anymore reason to look down on you than they already do. Show them how effective you can be, just like you did the Guardians of Light!

<< Darkchilde's icy voice was bolstered by a forward tone. she wanted Persephone to LISTEN, to understand>>

<< sigh>> You're my sister. You know how hard it is for me to "show my love"...but with my sister wraiths, my mother and honored mother, my core in the MoE and my beloved Morpheus, i was able to find a way to show love without feeling weak and vulnerable. do you think it's EASY for me to send you away? do you think it's easy to know that things will never be as they were? OF COURSE NOT!

<< she looked at the group of women in The Six>>

these women have had their share of pain and loss too. they are not LESS than you and you shouldnt look down on them. They risked their lives to travel through times and spaces to find a way to save their timeline's version of me. their courage , their honor is just like that of OURS in the core of MoE. Don't be so quick to dismiss them, for remember how many attempted to dismiss YOU in times past.

Everything I did while leading MoE was for the BENEFIT of the team...INCLUDING YOU! You may not understand or agree with this now, but in time, you WILL and you will REMEMBER that all times and places are possible through Limbo. We'll meet again.

<< letting go of Persephone's arm, DC stood before the group>>

gather yourself together. I'll be teleporting you BACK. not only back through space but time as well. You will arrive in YOUR timeline at the final moments of the battle between Master Mold and yourselves. You will have VERY few moments to snatch Spellbinder from her horrible fate, the moment where she is pulled into the disc, but be warned: some of you will see your past selves and you must NOT interfere with anything else there. You must ONLY attempt to secure Spellbinder's physical body and you will be forcibly pulled BACK into the stepping disc. You will then be sent back to PRESENT time in YOUR timeline's Limbo. Hopefully you will have secured Spellbinder's body, the shock of her being jarred outside of time and space will jolt her in the oblivion where she is now and she will instinctively return to her timeline of Limbo.

Her mental state, how she will react, i cannot predict. that will be up to you and your timeline's Ororo to handle.

<< DC raises her hands as chimes sound off>>

This isn't "Goodbye", Persephone. It's more like "see you later". You'll always been in my heart and I'll always be a stepping disc away. I love you, sister.


Good luck to you all. I hope you succeed...much depends on it!

<< gesturing, thunder crashes loudly as a stepping disc opens around the group of women and in the twinkling of an eye, the women are TELEPORTED>>

Two Weeks ago: MASTER MOLD

<< The surviving members of the Six & Persephone were teleported via stepping disc, but this trip seemed different than the others, things were spinning COUNTER CLOCK WISE. everything was blured as sounds, shapes and noises seemed to mix in a reversed vortex. but as bizarre as it seemed and FELT, it all happened in the blink of an eye as they were now BACK. Two Weeks ago. The darkened city of New York, the horrible, wrecked ground zero that was the site of the battle between The Six and the master mold.>>


<< there were the damaged buildings, downed power lines, burning cars....craters in the ground and exploding fire hydrants. there was the bus at the far end of the battle ground and outside the seemingly destroyed body of Master Mold. This was the moment where the Six had used team work to DESTROY the BODY of Master Mold and they were now on the bus, mourning the death of Sharon Kelly. From a distance. the PRESENT "six" and persephone would see the team of the Six: Black Widow, Guardian, MorningStar, Shockwave (even now under the influence of the chocker around her neck) and Frost, the one time member of the Six. It was a surreal, terrifying moment for those of the present surviving Six and the first time that Foxfire had seen her twin sister. >>


<< and now, the tragic events of the last horrible phase of this battle began>>

Master Mold said:
>the glowing red eyes cast unforgiving rays of light into the best as the massive HEAD of Master Mold was now full active and facing the bus. tentacle extensions of wires and cables writhed from under the head as it was suppoted by vibranium spider like legs. the head alone could be just as deadly as the whole body as it possesed an array of capabilities and it was a testimony to the resilience and adaptability of this super sentinel

>the face of Master Mold seemed to betray an EVIL, almost ANGRY countenance as it came forward, blasting the bus with repulsor blasts. Guardian's force field and Frost's ice dome were taking the brunt of the impact but the bus still began to rock and the ice dome would be destroyed soon, leaving only the force field.


Mutants, Witches! I CANNOT BE DESTROYED!


> that was the first time Master Mold had referred to itself in the first person. it was as if it had been renewed and there were a LIVING awareness within it. something that HALEIGH could sense given her affinity for machines....it was the personality and brain wave patterns of the SUPER SOLDIER. the basic programming that had been powering Master Mold this entire time.

I am STILL able to carry out my prime directive. TO destroy the six and their allies! and after this I will go after Doctor Karen Victoria.

>Master Mold's tentacles slam into the bus further attacking the force field and ice dome as he continues to advance.


Guardian said:
::the last moment that Guardian dreaded was at hand....as she pushed past everyone...and moved outside the bus. even the HEAD of Master Mold dwarfed the statuesque witch as she faced him. his eyes focused on her...::


you are the living embodiment of all that is evil. you WILL be destroyed.....


:: Guardian raised her hands...as howling winds filled the air and a mournfull bell tolled loudly in the air. a flash of light heralds the manifestation of the terrifying mystic gem, the SIEGE PERILOUS manifests::

Behold that which you cannot combat!

:: she directs her hands forward as the gem appeaers BEHIND the head of Master Mold and begins to GROW and now is capable of encompassing Master Mold....the smooth face red ruby front disappears to reveal a powerfull vortex that pulls its target into the cosmic gate....the vortex activates with deadly effect as EVERYONE has to desperately hold onto something to prevent from b eing yanked out of the bus and joining Master Mold's fate.::

and as Black Widow, Foxfire, Guardian, and Persephone continue to watch this terrifying event unfold, the are reminded just how relentless Master Mold truly is!

Master Mold said:
>Master Mold immediately was caught up in the vortex, being pulled back as its clawed spider like legs are dragged across the cement. but at the last moment...mere steps from the mouth of the vortex, again Master Mold's defense mechanisms kick in as it attempts to anchor to the ground. one of its massive tentacles reaches out....and charges forth slamming into Guardian before unleashing a powerfull electrical current into Guardian's body before knocking her back slamming her body into the bus.

Proceed with craft omega sequence to insure the destruction of The Six and their allies.

<< Morgan held on tightly to a pole. her blonde double hightlighted hair whipped firecly in the violent vortex....and even with her super strength...she could only imagine how hard it might be for the OTHERS to hold on. She tried to keep an eye on Guardian to see where this stand off with Master Mold would go...and to her horror Guardian was electrocuted and knocked unconscious by the super sentinel. Master Mold's head was gripping the ground but clearly it was not going to be taken away by the Siege Perilous without destroying Guardian OR the rest of the Six. Morgan knew what she had to do>>

<< she let go of the pole and flew out of the bus, flying through the winds toward Master Mold... she powers up...a chime sounds off as she charges with her fists extended and large halos of eldritch magick around them as a sparkling trail flows around her. the look on her face says it all as she screams like a bird of prey she SLAMS into Master Mold's body with ALL her power and super strength....unleashing an ballistic blast of eldritch force which forces Master Molds anchors to lose their grip on the ground....>>

<< 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....

<< it is the moment that haunts both Guardian and Black Widow and the moment which Foxfire had not been present for>>

Black Widow said:
Haleigh dives for Alison without even thinking... there is so much eletricity in the air that Haleigh can FEEL it... and as she grabs Alison's bicep, she gets a pretty strong static shock... but it hardly registers, as Hlaeigh has to work at machine speed to be able to snatch Alison AND latch onto the underside of the bus, anchoring the both of them from the vortex... Haleigh hears Morgan charge for MM... and she can only watch in horror, her heart sinking, as she knows they did NOT manage to save Morgan.... and then things look up, and Morgan attacks MM and is able to fight toward them, against the wind.... Hales can tell it is a struggle, like swimming against a riptide. Morgan gets within reach, but Haleigh fears she wont make it all the way... a pair of handcuffs anchors one of Alison's wrists to a pipe on the underside of the bus, appearing out of thin air, and Haleigh lunges for Morgan's outstretched hand. They link hands as MM grabs Morgan by the ankle, and Haleigh can feel her arms being painfully pulled as she tries to hold onto the bus AND Spellbinder... the whole BUS actually begins to slide slowly toward the vortex, and MM wraps another tentacle around Morgan's waist. Haleigh's hands are slipping, both her grip on the bus AND on Morgan's hand, as they both fight her fate....

They both lock eyes and Haleigh knows that this is the last time she'll ever look at Morgan... but despite common sense, she cannot bring herself to let go.... Haleigh's loses her grip on the bus and begins a terrifying and painful slide on her knees across the pavement, towards the vortex.... she refuses, to let go, as she clamps on to a fire hydrant, making a last stand of her own....her body begins to tremble from the stress, but her grip on Spellbinder's fingers cannot be renewed... and Haleigh is holding on so tight she is afraid she might BREAK Morgan's fingers... another tentacle finds itself around Morgan's neck, and Morgan's hand beings to slip from Haleigh's grasp.
 
New York City - Past timeline

After saying good - bye to Persephone and explaining what the Six needed to accomplish, Darkchilde teleported them out via stepping disk. Blaze couldn't help but sigh, the transportation was beginning to give her motion sickness or nausea in some cases. Her body disappeared waist up and in the blink of an eye the fiery mutant was gone, with the rest of her comrades. The ride back in time and space was less luxurious due to the power it required. Blaze felt her body spin clockwise as her hair swung wildly. Noises of all sounds popped and echoed through the vortex as psychedelic colors and waves swooped around herself and the team. Blaze barely had time to adjust as they were transported into the past, the past where Morgan was taken from them and Alison was critically injured.

A small cyclone of wind churned and twisted around the ebony skyline of NYC. The thrashing winds animated and far more horrifying, almost like that of a hurricane force. The stepping disk expanded to reveal the Six and their ally, Persephone. Several women dropping out from the sky, it was something out of the Twilight Zone.

Landing more roughly than expected, Foxfire was crouched on one knee with a grunt. She had not been present for this battle, instead her identical twin, Jasmine aka Frost substituted. Standing up, Blaze's eyes went wide with horror. Everything was in utter chaos, cars were flipped upside down, trees and shrubs were flickering with fire, sirens rang in the background. Her keen hearing back to normal capabilities now that they were not in Limbo.

She saw the mass destruction of buildings cave in, dented, and some were even shattered into zillions of pieces. At first, Blaze felt her heart ache even MORE because this was real. It was a stark contrast than viewing it from another realm. She covered her gapping mouth with her gloved hand as her eyes misted with tears.

Such graphic images, sounds, and the overall feeling was enough to make even the most stoic person feel a drop of emotion. Cries of anguish motioned toward the fallen bus, which looked something out of Jurassic Park. Craning her neck to the side, Foxfire could hear the emotional - distraught whimpers coming from the team. She felt a sense of deja déjà vu envelope her while viewing this. It was like watching a television program, except this was reality. She could see her sister, Frost inside the bus, and the rest of the team. It was almost too much to view, Jasmine looked like a warrior, she seemed to fit into the Six. The mutant had forgotten her sister, her twin who had conflicting personalities. Yet, in a strange way it was glorifying to watch her....to know she fought with this team.

She watched Morgan with misty eyes, her sister, her mentor, her best friend in many ways. Before Blaze could cherish the memory of Morgan, Master Mold became active once more. His hulking form dwarfed even sky scrappers. Blaze watched on in horror at how relenting this creature was, which reminded her of the Super Soldier. His large tentacles SLAMMING into the bus, causing Foxfire to jump. Her own heartbeat racing as she felt fear for the past Six.

The past Guardian unleashed the Siege Perilous. Stepping closer, without being scene or interfering, Blaze couldn't believe this. She glanced back to present Guardian, who was beside her. Blinking her eyes, it was like watching a mirrored image of the real Alison Marble. She watched on as the Seer brought forth a mammoth vortex that suctioned up fallen cars, damaged telephone poles, stop signs, shards of building pieces, etc. Blaze felt hope but she knew that sinking feeling was coming closer. She remembered watching this from above the heavens with the Elders. But MM was more cunning than perceived as he lashed out to Guardian, electrocuting her. The impact of the Seer causing a sickening thud to impact on the bus. Blaze cringed and her eyes in shock. Her eyes narrowing in anger at this monster!

Almost like a Queen bee out for vengeance, Spellbinder flies out of the safety of the bus. Her facial expression like that of a bird of prey. Foxfire's heart skips a beat to see her sister in combat so fiercely, so passionately. The concussive force of the eldritch bold makes the whole ground tremble as it connects with MM. Blaze stumbled back, her emerald eyes fixated on her sister. She felt pride....glory...love, all of these things for her sibling to watch her FIGHT for the life of Guardian and her other friends and family. This was a woman of strength and character, this was Spellbinder.

MM falls with a thud, his massive arms clawing and scraping at the ground, large feet of dirt and debris fly through the air. His glowing red eyes beaming for Spellbinder. Several tentacles grabbing onto Spellbinder with raw force and strength, her screams sending shivers down her back. Blaze saw Haleigh's die hard attempt to save Alison. Foxfire moved to stare at her present comrade, Black Widow. Shaking her head, she turned back to see BW move like a machine, like the Terminator. Memories she recalled viewing elsewhere.

Shutting her eyes as tears welled and assaulted her own rosy cheeks, Blaze felt the fire ignite within the pit of her stomach. This moment was there chance to save her sister, to do whatever it took. Opening her eyes she grit her teeth she yearned to jump into the game. To undo this terrible moment. Her eyes darkening to a yellow as her flames etched across her battle attire. Her muscles tensed the longer she watched, she turned to Guardian, for a signal.

Foxfire was ready to move, she seemed to possess a new edge to her. Nodding to present Guardian and Black Widow, to signal she was prepared for this moment. As impatient as she was, she had to WAIT! It killed her inside to hear Morgan's blood curdling screams roar in the background.

"We're coming Morgan!"
