Chase Jordan landed lightly on his feet, his natural grace allowing him to swing into a standing position easily. For some reason, his blue eyes first sought out Iris. Her position seemed dangerous, but she had just sent the giant of a man away to the building. And she was the guardian of the world, versed in magic. There wasn't anything he thought he could do to the monster, so he reluctantly let it go. Then he started peering around to find out where and if he could be helpful.
"Yeah, I think I can get away," Jasper told Jo. Through the fighting, he could pick out Midnight and Chase Jordan, two people who he knew. They wouldn't kill him, at least. If not, he had every intention of getting out of the fighting and hiding somewhere until his powers might possibly be useful for healing.
Hearing the transmission, Damaris simply left the lab, her metal-coated feet clunking along the floor. By now, her uniform had sustained several bullet marks and even singed in an explosion, showing portions of her shiny steel skin underneath. Making her way to the surface again, she quickly surveyed the action. Many more mutants had come. These must be the X-Men. "Michelle, need help?"

Cole shook off the dizzy feeling, and forced himself not to throw up, " 'Buenos dias'," he repeated questioningly, "I know some Spanish... I took it in high school a buncha times."
He looked around at the guards as they started mving in on him and grinned, "Don't you hate when people are too scared to fight for themselves," he ased them. No reply, "Aww come on, you guys are no fun."
He shoved the air around him outward, knocking the guards back, "Come on, Demise," he called out, "Let's play!"
Onslaught felt the whip of the thread on his arm and growled as he examined the scorch mark it left on the dent it put into his armor, "Nice move, but not enough, I'm afraid. Try again."

"Always appreciated, Damaris!" Michelle responded, narrowing her eyes at Rogue as she fell onto her bad. She had expected that kick to do at least a little more damage. The teenager Marauder tapped into her powers again hurriedly, hoping that they would take effect this time.

Damaris planted a telekinetic wall inbetween Rogue and Michelle. "Careful, there is a wall inbetween you two. She can't touch you. Now use your powers on her or something..." She wasn't sure to what extent Michelle's powers stretched. Would it cause the pale goth girl to fall in love with her or what? That was slightly creepy, even by Damaris's terms.

"I know that look. I don't control love, I control lust and the obsession and obedience lust can cause. Like how Zeb can control people, so can I." Michelle said, again using her powers. She was a bit worn out from the earlier massive use of her powers on all those soldiers, but, hopefully they would continue helping and work on Rogue.

"Hey TK," Ellen said glancing at him before pounding her fist into the first pillar shattering it, "It's a good day to destroy stuff, isn't it?" she asked and began walking to another pillar.
"Thanks sugah," Rogue growled glad the sheild was up and began forcing Michelle back towards where Cole was using his wind powers hoping it would be enough to sweep away the pheromones that were making her dizzy.
"With pleasure," Iris growled her eyes glowing even more as the thread in her hand also glowed brighter as she charged it with more of her powers. She lept forward again, this time getting a foot hold on Onslaught's armor and jumping around the giant trying to hit him in several places to try and break his armor, or at least time until the magic from earlier worked a little bit more on him.
"Well Cole, what's the fun of playing if your no good at it?" Iada asked landing on Cole's shoulder, and then flipping off of his shoulders and landing on the ground. She aimed her one hand behind her and an energy blast shot out of her hand disergrating the National Guard soliders, "So I'm here, let's fight," she growled.
"Sorry about this, but business as usual, and my lover won't be a very good lover tonight unless we win," Jo said coming up behind Chase her hand turning into a blade and aimed for his neck.

TK witnessed as diamond destroyed the pillar he remembered her from Xavier school I guess she had got tired of the good guy role who knows. He knew though that he was in for a battle he really wasted no time. The convincing to come back to the good side speech was completely out of TK’s mind.
TK charged ellen and tackled her through a wall to move her from the pillar she was going to attempted to destroy. He let her go clapping his hands together as dust flew from in between them. He stood waiting for her to retaliate as clinched his fist tight.
“Good gurl gone bad huh? I liked ya too. You was coo.”

Ellen merely flipped to her feet and smirked, "Couldn't stand Xavier's anymore, besides," she said motioning her hand up and down her diamond body, "You can't really be a good guy looking like this," she growled her eyes narrowing. She lept towards Tk, diamon shards appearing in her hands. She threw them at him as she jumped over his head, her aim deadly. Without another action Ellen ran to the next pillar and punched it as hard as she could and watched with satisfaction as it cracked then shattered.

"Your lover ain't the only guy out there, beautiful," Chase grinned as he ducked and grabbed her wrist. He felt worried as he even touched this girl. Her powers had not been defined to any degree of accuracy, just saying that she could 'adapt' to any situation. And as he wasn't even a mutant anymore, so she could probably take him out easily. He felt a prickle of fear, but kept smiling. One part of his mind was on banter, the other already formulating a series of moves, dead bent on survival.
Damaris leered at Rogue and used telekinesis to hurl her backwards.

Jo's eyes narrowed and she looked Chase up and down, "You're human, no, you've been cured," she said trying to get her wrist away from Chase. Damn, it would figure that she'd end up against a normal person. Now she couldn't rely on her powers, because this guy had none to for her to counter. Jo aimed her knee into Chase's stomach, and used the momentium to get her wrist away from him.
"Ooomph," Rogue managed to say as the wind was knocked out of her and she went flying backwards. On hitting the ground she closed her eyes, and when she opened them she saw a National Guard solider standing over her. Before she could even move the solider aimed the cure gun at her and shot her straight in the chest.
"Take that mutie," the solider growled smirking in satisfaction, 'Welcome to the world of humans."

Cole smirked, "Round 1, Go!" He leapt towards Demise, and threw a punch at her face. He spun around and gave her a swift kick to the chest, "You ever miss Amelia," he asked casually, "You two were good friends."
Onslaught grunted as the yarm threads whipped against him. "The best way to get rid of a mental-based mutant, is physical power," he coughed, plowing towards her and ramming her with a heavy arm.

Michelle's amusement at seeing an X-Man go down was negated by disgust with the human who shot her. How dare he use the cure? It was other mutants' job to take down the X-Men, not a job for petty humans. Taking out her crystal shards borrowed from Diamond, she grabbed the man by the neck and whispered, "Take that sapien." Before slitting his throat and pushing the man to the ground.

Iada dodged the punch but not the kick, and was knocked back a few steps, she then smirked, 'You're silly, whose says I still don't talk to her?' Iada said before leaping at Cole and hitting him with skill and speed in the chest and face with kicks nad punches.
Iris let out a half scream of pain as Onslaught arm bashed into her broken ribs and then to make matters worst she landed on them as well. Forcing back tears she got to her feet again, the thread in her hand dropping to the ground, and this time she held her staff in her hands with a death grip.
White knuckled she began reciting the words to a spell and then slammed her staff into the ground. From her staff a fissure opened up and sped it's way towards Onslaught opening a large black hole underneath his feet.

Onslaught growled loudly as he used the powers stolen from Cole to push himself away from the hole on a wave of air. It took all of his concentration not to be sucked downward into the blackness, but entering there would mean certain doom, and he wouldn't allow that.
After a moment, he managed to pull away, and took off into the air. He balled his fists together and came down with all his might, landing a blow to Iris' chest.
Rumble gained his footing, "You talk to her," he asked, trying to make causal conversation, "She say anything about me? How's her boytoy?" He did a flip in the air, and landed with his knee in her shoulderjoint, then bounced back, and awaited the counterattack.

Iris went flying backwards, hitting a wall and laid still. Then for a pregant pause she slowly got to her feet again, picked up her staff and staggered towards Onslaught, she stopped for a moment and shook her head to keep herself from blacking out, she then began spinning her staff, from her lips, she coughed first a few droplets of blood spilling over her lips, and then began the spell. From her staff wind began to swirl until it gathered and seperated from the staff, and Iris using her staff mustered her energy and made is grow in size and strength before sending the tornado of magic and wind towards Onslaught.
"I'd tell you but I promised I wouldn't," Iada winced as her life energy surrounded the collarbone that Cole had hit, healing it. She the ported behind Cole and kicked him in the spine before porting in front of him and kicking him in the stomach, repeating the process several times.

Cole yelled in pain as the repeating hits cracking his body. He managed to roll to the side, and free himself from the assault, but his back and gut bore the scars of the fight. He breathed heavy, and stood weakly to his feet, sucking the air around him in, Iada with it. He grabbed her by the neck and socked her one in the temple, and let go, "Aww, come on, I'm trustworthy," he pleaded, "Where have the lovebirds been?"
Onslaught dared the magic gale. He stood before it and let it take him. A mistake. It swirled around him, and he tried to sheild himself with a mental barrier, which only did so much to help. He fought his way back to solid ground, and breathed heavy. The magic was weakening his armor slowly, but surely.
Sinister barked into his headset, "Shrapnel, Diamond? How goes the destruction of the 'cure'."
"It's goin' boss," Shrapnel said, obviously irritated by not being in the fight, "We should be done here in a few minutes."

Chase's smile faded as his concentration rose. The knee to his stomech had him doubled over just as she managed to jerk her wrist away from his grasp. From his position, he hurled himself forward to tackle her around the waist, jabbing a knee onto her thigh. "Cured?" his voice was almost a snarl. "Cursed!"
Midnight was unsure of what to do, the chaos crawling around her. Uneasily, she let the darkness flare around her, hiding herself in a cloud.
Damaris saw the girl disappear and reached out with her telekinesis and... nothing! The silvery lines seemed to simply disappear at the edge of the cloud. They weren't hidden in the darkness, just disappeared. Scowling, Damaris rushed forward and into the darkness, her metal fingers reaching forward and bam! The girl flew out the other side of the cloud, darkness flowing from her fingers. Damaris surged forward, regaining her sight, and had the girl around the throat in seconds. "Goodbye."
"Damaris, no!" Strong brown fingers closed over her metal wrists and Jasper's coppery head popped into view. "Please, don't!"
Midnight's dark eyes started to bulge and she clutched helplessly at Damaris's hold.
Hidden gray eyes narrowed and then a cruel smile formed on her pale lips. Suddenly, she swung the hanging girl in front of Jasper. Midnight's body shook with the impact of something from behind. She would have gasped but for the inability to draw a breath. "There. She is alive and I have saved you."
Midnight's shivering form was dropped into Jasper's arms as he scowled at Damaris. "That hardly pays for your sins," he hissed.
"And trying to save her doesn't pay for yours." Damaris stalked off, looking for someone else to kill. And beginning by crushing a man holding a dart gun, still aimed at the pair.
Jasper held Midnight close as he started carrying her away from the battle. And her eyes faded into a normal brown color. Her gasps had nothing to do with almost being choked. She didn't know whether to be happy or to cry.

'Cursed?" Jo asked and smirked, "I'd say lucky, you've gotten closer to the leaders of the X-Men then you ever have. The blond one trusts you to an extent, maybe you should use that to your advantage," she growled using her free leg to toss Chase off of her, 'Or maybe you needed an excuse to go soft," she continued aiming her elbow at Chase's face, 'Then again, blondie's going to die going against Onslaught, so I guess in the end you're s*** out of luck."
Blood trickled down Iada's face and she stood up and luaghed directly in Cole's face, 'I'll never tell, it would mean disaster if I did," she said before aiming a punch for Cole's nose.
Iris gasped for air, hoping that she could at least break through Onslaught's armor if she was going to die. She used her staff to stay standing, ad blood oozed and trickled out of different wound. Iris licked her lips and coughed, she looked down at her hand and saw blood. She shook her head and she glared at Onslaught. Shakily, she lifted her staff into the air and began another spell, stopping several times to get a decent breath of air. From her staff a bolt of magical light shot out hitting Onslaught square in the chest.

Onslaught hit the ground on bended knee. He looked down, and cursed his luck as he saw a light fracture in his armor, a hairline fracture in his chestplate, "Lucky hit, girl," he smirked, "But with the integration of Ravage's DNA inside my body, everytime you hit me only serves to make my offensive attacks stronger..."
"Umph," Cole took the shot to the nose, and grabbed it with one hand, backing away a step, and holding his hand up as if to call a time out, "ow...," he moaned, "What do you mean disaster? You work for the badguys, Christian and Amelia certainly aren't coming back to help you."

Iada whistled and chuckled, /That's what you think,/ she said into his mind, "Tsk, with your nose broken I doubt Ellen will ever want to come back to you," Iada hissed and giggled.
"It's enough, just enough," Iris said and started laughing and then coughed more blood appearing in her hand, "For my thread to get through," she added chuckling as the contents of her thread bag spilt out around her feet and were chaged with her powers. the thread then seemed to take a mind of it's own and shot towards Onslaught, wrapping around him, wiggling into the hairline crack, using it's strength to spread, and break the armor.
