Iris's legs tensed and she jumped into the air and flipped over the golem. She landed heavily on the ground behind it, she spun around on the balls of her feet and buried her staff into it's spine. Her staff began to glow and she murmured the words to the Dust to Dust spell, a spell that would reduct an enemy to dust.

Shadow King watched as the girl defeated every enemy he threw at her. As his golem turned to dust he realized he needed to kick it up a notch. ~~It looks like I have to get my hands dirty.~~ The area the two inhabited filled with an eerie haze, and Shadow King stood from his throne.
He stood in front of the girl, moving at her in break-neck speed. He stood at least a couple feet taller than her, and with his taloned-hands took her by the throat. He raised her to his eye level and out of his mouth came a faint gas. King hoped this would at least slow her down.

Iris blinked and the next thing she knew she couldn't breath and thise beast was breathing on her,holding her up by the neck. She struggled to free her neck, bright colors danced in front of her eyes. Looking around desperately, Iris realized she was still clinging to her staff. She then did the only thing she could thinkof in her oxygen deprived, paniced state. Beating the Shadow King over the head with her staff as hard as she could.

Iris' attacks on Shadow King were weakening. Though the hits on the head did frustrate him, he ignored it. With his free hand he knock the staff to the ground. He raised her higher, before throwing her across the area which they battled. As she hit the ground, Shadow King made the astral rock around her raise, creating a crude cell. ~~ Like I said, I am the Shadow King. ~~ He jumped in the air and hit the ground in front of the cell. The walls raised higher, creating a above ground pit.

Iris clutched her neck as she landed, coughing and gasping for breath. Slowly normal thought began to return and through the bars of the 'cell,' she glare at the Shadow King, 'And like I said, I am a Guardian," she growled getting to her feet, "Do you really think my staff is the source of my power? A Guardian's staff is mainly use to help control the power that flows through a Guardian's veins, a damper if you will," she continued before she closed her eyes and concentrated on her telepathic power, her eyes flew open completely engulfed with the glowing purple power fromm within her. She threw her hand out and hit the bars with her hand. For a moment nothing happened, then slowly the bars cracked and exploded.
Iris stepped out of what was left of the cage, power etched around her hands as she walked towards the Shadow King. Then without a word, she sped forward slamming her fist into the Shadow King's chin, a nice uppercut that made him go flying across the plane. But before he hit the ground Iris was there to grab him by the leg and throw him up into the air. As he rose into the air, Iris appeared again and slammed him into the groun with all her strength.
"I was trained by Xavier to survive the Astral Plane, I suggest you leave and let me continue with my search, or I will kill you," Iris said landing on the ground.

The girl had power, Shadow King recognized that, but the way she used it sickened him. From his new position on the ground, he looked at her in hatred. ~~Have your wish, just remember this, I'm am going to take out you and the rest of you X-Men, and on that day you will neal before me.~~ With this Shadow King's astral form sunk into the ground, along with every astral object and body in the area. His laugh could be heard echoing throughout the Astral Plane. The Shadow King was truly a deranged man, and he hoped the girl would remember that.

Iris let out a sigh and walked over and picked up her staff, she whirled it around a few times, deep in thought. She doubted she'd get any answers where Marcus was from here. "I wonder why all the insane ones always have a speech planned when they run off?" she wondered to herself before she slowly faded and left the Astral Plane.
