X-T gave out a heavy sigh and extended her claws. She could feel her eyes change from their natural blue to a blood colored red. She walked forward, her lip curling.
"You th' girl causin' all th' trouble?" X-T snarled as she frowned, "I don' really approve of that," X-T then saw the smoke cover over the two figuares. X-T growled and looked up at her, "Let 'em go, er I'll make ya!" X-T ran forward, bending down, ready to jump.

Fallback watched X-T jumped, and he reacted quickly. By phasing through the air he was able to fly, and this allowed him to keep up with X-T. At her side he waited for Midnight to strike. If he planned it right, he should be able to teleport X-T through the darkness, and closer to the target enemy...

X-T felt her body phase through the dark fog. She looked over at Fallback, then smirked. She then looked back at the enemy within.
"Girl, you've jus' crossed th' line with me," X-T said drawing back her fist.

Midnight opened her lips and laughed, a sound that rang through the darkness around her in an echo. She could feel Caity at this moment using darkness to destroy the people below, hard orbs of black corruption flying in the basement. And now this girl thought that she could threaton her... "You couldn't touch me if you wanted to!" she smirked in X-T's face. Midnight let her own body fade in and out, swirling like the clouds around her. "I am darkness itself... what makes you think that you can kill that?" Opening her mouth again, she blew black smoke in X-T's face, stinging it like acid.

"Watch out!" Fallback yelled, phasing X-T away from the corrosive smog.
"We need to plan these attacks carefully, like a military raid." His pale blue eyes stared up at Midnight and he scowled. "This chick means business, and even though I can get us close to her, I still can't touch her. Hopefully those two others guys will have better luck," he pointed to the two spots of grass that weren't moving and smiled. He had an idea.
"Okay," he said. "I'm going to phase all light right through us, making us invisible. This chick may have mutated eyes, but all eyes still function with the use of light. She can't avoid our attacks if she never sees them coming." He gripped X-T close to her and started to loosen their molecules.

X-T nodded, feeling her body loose it's lightness. She could see through herself, and she smiled.
"This is so cool," X-T said softly to herself as she lifted her hand, not seeing that nor her claws. She "looked" at Fallback and smiled, even though he couldn't see.
"Ready?" She whispered, a hint of excitment in her voice.

Cat helped get the students together and get them on to the planes. "Come on kids. Hurry up now." She then looked at Jubbali. "You gonna be able to handle yourself alone with her?"

"Bout as ready as I'm ever gonna be!" Patrick smiled back. Then, moving them through the air, he moved them closer to Midnight. She didn't see them coming...this was going to work.
"Ill be fine!" Jubilee yelled as a giant ball of black energy smashed into the wall overhead. With a deafening blast it shattered the plaster and coated Jubilee.
"Just get the kids out of here!" Jubilee screamed, shaking the wall off of her. Her hair was coated with rubble, and already her trench-coat had holes in it.
"Caity! Stop this!" She was getting scared now. She didn't think that she could keep it up. Growing tired she sent another series of fireworks flying at her enemy. They exploded into a million bright lights, knocking Syphon backa few feet.
"ARGG!" Caity screamed as the light blinded her. "Damn you!" Caity felt herself slipping further and further into the darkness. Was she losing control? Would she end up like Midnight?
Then, out of the corner of her eye she saw a little blonde haired girl sitting against the wall. In her arms she craddled a small boy and Caity's heart began to melt.
"Tabitha..." Caity dropped her arms and stopped fighting Jubilee and a pained expression crossed her dark eyes.
"Christopher...no." Tabitha looked up at her mother with sad eyes, with tears welling up and spilling down her cheeks.
"Mom..." Tabitha said, as she lifted her head to see her. "Why are you doing this? What's going on?"
"Oh Tabby...my baby...I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..." Caity felt tears coming to her own eyes, but the darkness pushed them back, it tried to smother her emotions, to turn Caity into a black hole.
"NO!" She screamed. Was thwarting her greatest enemy worth losing everything she had worked so hard to achieve? Her husband was basically dead, she knew getting his body back was near impossible...and now her children's lives were on the line.
"What...do I do?" She wanted so bad to stop, but Midnight wouldn't. Caity knew that she had to risk it all to save the world, as was always the creed of the X-Men.
<Evan,> Syphon pleaded. <Save me.>

"Caity I'll take Tabby and Chris with us so they will be safe if that is what you would want." Cat said after loading the rest of the kids.

Cammy leaped around like a frenzied rabbit. quickly she called up to Evan. "Radial, if midnight is made of darkness... Can't you light this place up so that there is no darkness left for her to hide?"
Evan felt the telepathic cry of syphon ring in his head and then heard the stern voice from Cammy. "Maybe... I'm not sure though what this darkness is exactly, but I'll try". He shot out random bursts of light that was either moving the darkness or depleting it. He aimed to make the darkness loose its large hold on the entire mansion grounds. Evan continued to produce the large light masses to lessen the amount of darkness.
((midnight I wasn't sure if you wanted him to be able to erase the darkness with his light due to the fact that midnights darkness is no ordinary darkness. Thats why i put that he was wither moving it or depleting it. I wasn't sure on whether he would be able to or if the darkness is really more like energy.))

X-T saw her and Fallback gaining closer to the enemy. She couldn't stop smiling. This would be the best tactic yet. She clutched her fist and smiled.
"On yer count," X-T whispered.

((Yeah, Evan, that will kinda work. It isn't going to be super-effective and he can never totally get rid of her, but he can free the mansion.))
Midnight raised her hands to her face as if to block the light from her eyes. The darkness around her started to wither and fall back, screaming in pain in her own head. Black tears rolled from her eyes. "Stop it!" she screamed, now silloehtted with the light flying around her. Then forming a huge black cloud in front of her, she formed a sheild to block the light, shivering as it hit it. Midnight felt it growing weaker.

"Good idea Cat, get Tabby and Chris out of here!" Jubilee said between the noise of shimmering fireworks.
<Please> Caity said telepathically to Cat. Then, with darkness retaking her body, she turned to face Jubilee, and the rest of lone X-Men that stood in the sub-basement. She created an orb of darkness in the palm of her hand and then smiled a menacing grin.
"Bring it on girlie!"
Okay...three, two, one!" As Midnight was being distracted by the destruction of her powers, Patrick and X-T had a chance to strike.
"Take her out X-T!"

Cat nodded then girded the last 2 kid out of the sub basement. "Come on you two we need to get you out of here." She looked back for a brief moment "I hope guys will be OK" She said to herself as she walked out and boarded the plane.

X-T lunged forward and struck Midnight swiftly.
"THAT IS FER ALL TH' KIDS YA HURT!" X-T said, taking another strike, "THAT IS FER ALL OF MY FRIENDS YA HURT!"
X-T finally realized something, her claws were phasing through Midnight's body. X-T growled at the thought. She turned to Fallback.
"It ain't workin'!" She said fircly, "Got any other ideas?"

((Umm... wanna tell me what is going on? First off, X-T can't hit Midnight. Midnight is like a ghost, intangible unless she wants to be. X-T's claws would go straight through her and not touch her. And what on earth is happening to X-T???))

((I didn't realize that Midnight was intangible all the time, so I thought if they caught her off guard they could maybe get one hsot in. Oh well.))
Patrick cursed. "How was I suppossed to know she was all ghosty!" He yelled, as they phaed through Midnight.
"Oh well, new plan!" He knew that they were still invisible, and Midnigth was still distracted by Radial and tCammy, so they still had a small element of surprise to work with.
"Do you have any weapons from the military we can use against her? Anything?" Fallback asked as X-T continued to try to stap Midnight.
"Keep trying, maybe she'll turn tangible for just a second, that's all we'll need!"

((Thanks hon. And Mike, you'd have to catch her off guard when she is doing something tangible, like touching someone or lifting something.))
Midnight spun around, black eyes searching. "I feel you," she growled. "Where are you? I heard you! And take your light with you!" Throwing the darkness out in a huge burst, Midnight seemed to explode into a black cloud.
Down in the bowels of the mansion, the shadows swirled into a shape, a gaping hole of a mouth starting to talk before Midnight had totally appeared. "How is it going, Caity?" she said, her voice rumbling in the darkness just before her lips actually formed and the color life to her cheeks. Black eyes took a quick look around.

X-T watched in silence as Midnight disappeared. She bit her lip and reached into her belt.
"I got these detenators, but I don' know if it'll help th' situation. Haven't used them in a long time. Got other tactics, if ya know what I'm sayin'," X-T said looking at Fallback, "Wait... She said somethin' about light, didn' she?"

Cat and the others took off just in time. As they planes flue Towered there destination Cat used her powers to try and calm a fue little kids down. (I would have had her stay but I didn't know how much good she would be. But if you want her to I can change it.)
