"Coward, Pravus? No, I just hold Honor on a lower pedestal than you. I don't seek to reclaim anything by beating you to a lifeless corpse. Your dearly departed wife can attest to that!"
Christian hauled Amelia away from the falling debris, "I think it may be time to go outside for a breather, love," He said, taking her hand and moving her to the entryway, "Frenzy," he paused, "...move Iris."
Kevin picked up Iada over his back again, and walked over towards Iris, and lifted her into his arms, and followed Christian through the door.
Rumble gave Ellen's hand a tug, "Me thinks taking leave would be sporting, my dear."

"You don't speak about her...your tounge sullies her name." Raphael holstered the hammer on his back and leapt at Apocolypse's leg, climbing up the back of it towards the beast's back.
"I will have my revenge."

Jasmine watched dully as the others left. She had no intention of leaving Raphael until the end. If he did not finish... she had every intention to bring the whole place down in flames. She kept watching. She had already lost her mother, her real mother. She didn't intend to leave the only father she had ever known alone. Not with the Devil incarnate fighting him.

Apocalypse reached for his foe, but Raphael was too quick for him in his enlarged state, and was behind him in the blink of an eye, where Apocalypse couldn't grasp him, "And you call me the coward, Pravus? Come and look me in my eyes as you die!"

"Im working on it boss." Raphael raised his hammer high before slamming it into the back of Apocolypse and then scurrying further up the giant.

A jolt of burning pain shocked through Apocalypse as the hammer connected with his spine, and he stumbled, trying to regain his footing.

"Still think you have the upper hand deamon..."
Raphael was now close to the base of the neck, and swung his might hammer hard, trying to connect with the tissue.

A bone snapped in Apocalypse's neck, and he fell for the ground, he tried to place his hands in front of him to steady his fall, but it was impossible. He couldn't move them.
THUD!
The remnants of the castle shook as he collapsed to the floor.

Raphael leapt away.
"I know you are not dead deamon, do not toy with me. Fight me."

Apocalypse could sense his rouse failed. Raphael was too powerful a foe to be caught playing such a foolish tactic. He flipped over, and kicked Pravus to the wall with his hulking boot, and in almost a flash, had caught Rpahael as he bounced off the cracked marble, and began squeezing him with both hands.

Raphael was in the grasp of the monster before he even knew what happened. He was struggleing to get free, but could not, and had managed to lose his hammer in the process as well. He looked down at Jasmine who had not fled durring the falling marble cascade. Luckily he still had his head set on. He radioes down, "This is where you come in..." hoping she would get the hint.

Apocalypse noticed his foe speaking, and tightened his grip, "Calling for help, Pravus? Haven't you seen that no one can help you, or beat me?"
Apocalypse wanted nothing short of a bone cracking in Raphael's rib cage, and kept pressing.
Christian ushered Amelia out of the door, and looked back. The damage to the citadel was growing extensive, and it probably couldn't take much more of the banging around.
His jaw dropped when he saw Raphael in Apocalypse's grasp. He looked back to see if Amelia was safe, and upon checking her, took off back into the structure.

"Help, no, don't think of it like that."
Raphael was at that particular moment greatful that Apocolypse had given him heavy metal bones, thought the cancer he probably had from it was not the greatest thing. He heard one of them begin to strain though. It would take a treamendous impulse to crack them, but eventually the would bend past the plastic deformation state and into the failure range. Raphael's ribs began to groan under the stress.
Raphael spat at apocolypse's face.
"I will never bow to you, not even in death. I will never give up, you will pay for what you have taken from me."
Raphael drew his pistol and fired it into the wrist of the monster, while drawing his chain sword in the other. the sword whirred to life.
"This deamon...is for you." Raphael began to hack at the wrist with the sword.

With a blur of fire, Jasmine lept into the fight. "He does not need help to beat you!" She shouted, her green eyes filming red before finally changing into a glowing white. "You just deserve the punishment." Her metal fist flew into the torso of the demon while her other armed flamed up to burn the arm holding Raphael. And her metal arm formed into two claws from her fist which she plunged into him. "This is for my mother."

Apocalypse swatted at Jasmine with his free hand, but managed to keep his grasp on Raphael with his other. The burn on his arm almost made him scream in shock, but it didn't catch, and was out before it became a threat, "Keep trying as hard as you are able, you won't be able to free him from my grasp from there."
"What about from up here?"
Christian lunged off the second floor balcony, and reared back his fist. He slammed it into the back of Apocalypse's neck, and released a large charge of kinetic energy to the behemoths spine. Christian landed on the floor and jumped back.
Apocalypse winced, and turned his face towards Christian, "Insolent traitor! Your acts will not go unpunished!"
"Jasmine," Christian yelled, ignoring the threat, "Go for his head! Quick!"

Raphael had managed to get free his right arm, hand raised his hand bearing the chain sword. He lifted it up to bring it down, plunging it deep into the wrist of Apocolypse.
"Just leveling the playing field, you know fairness."

Jasmine turned all to fire and climbed up the monster like a fire would climb a tree. From the flames came and iron fist and she slammed it as hard as she could into the head of the mutant.

Apocalypse's grasp loosened on Raphael, and the blow to his face made his eyes roll into the back of his head. With a dull grunt, he released Raphael, and fell backwards.
Christian was in Apocalypse's path as the towering mutant fell. He began to move, but noticed Iris' staff next to him. He made a kick at it, trying to free it from the growing shadow, and chased after it to escape on his own.
THOOM!
Apocalypse landed on the ground. The staff passed under him, and into the middle of the room.
Christian wasn't as fortunate. Both legs were crushed under the goliath's weight and frame, and he struggled to get free. Clawing to escape, he grabbed the staff, and tossed it up towards Raphael, "Here! Do something with this! Iris said it would help!"

Raphael crashed to the ground, barely breathing. ribs had cracked under the strain, he was also pretty sure something had punctured his lung. He simply lie there on his back, blood beginning to gurgle out of his mouth and trickle down the side of his face. He struggled to get up, but failed. Raphael had to see it through, had to watch the beast die.

And there was Jasmine, solidifying out of thin air, a blurry flame. Her hand snatched the staff as she stood over Raphael. He was dying, and she felt pain skitter across the surface of the void that was now hers. "Raphael," she started breathlessly, "what shall we do?" She had the staff, but she really didn't know how to use it. Magic could always mean more trouble than help for the untrained. But Raphael was probably not going to make it.
Jasmine reached down, her hand turning to a dull gray metal sheen as it touched his. "You want me to help you up?"
