Midnight raised her head, her eyes glowing faint, dwarfed by the black ones in the cloud above her. "Is it too late?" she whispered and hear the whisper of her name on the wind as well. Midnight... "Chance!" she screamed, her eyes flaring out as a hidden inferno as she tried to scramble to her feet. The cloud's black eyes narrowed and it swooped down like a tornado to crush the girl below it. Midnight's body stiffened as the whirlwind burrowed back into her eyes and hands. In a moment, her head jerked and she moved it stiffly. The black eyes from the cloud above now stared out of Midnight's sockets. She gave the two shadow walkers a whithering glare and turned away from them to walk towards Chance. "So it is you," Shadow Spinner whispered through Midnight's lips. "You are the one she sacrificed herself for." Midnight's hand's quivered by her sides, and her body seemed to shake, but the darkness held on. "Stop, girl!" Shadow Spinner commanded, casting a cloud of darkness over Ellen.

Doyle jumped back next to Twilight and away from the darkness and Midnight as the cloud came to bear on one of Xavier's students that Doyle did not know. He did not care if the darkness took Ellen or not.
Doyle looked at Twilight then back to watch as the darkness engulfed Ellen. He had come here looking for answers from Midnight and came away with more questions. Doyle constantly felt that he was insane but Midnight continually demonstrated that she was completely so. He was not surprised by this though as Doyle had trouble controlling his darkness but Midnight was overwhelmed in it.
Doyle wondered if there was truth to her words. Other had said they were responsible for his creation. Another told him he was a servant of a greater demon. All those people and creature expected Doyle to be there pawn because of a few words. Midnight's darkness though was something that even made Doyle cringe. Also now that he had met Twilight another very much like himself. There were to many coincidences for Doyle to feel at ease.
Doyle watched as the darkness of Midnight assaulted the mutant girl of Xavier's. She was making her way to Chance again. Doyle would remember this for later if his dealings with Midnight became to sour. Midnight was now attacking another X-man directly for Chance. She cared about him greatly it seemed and Doyle knew as well that Chance did as much as well.

Jasmine let out a slight sound of pain and anger as she fell to the ground. She stood up and watched the women, Midnight, attack Ellen. Jasmine was starting to panic. This was to much to deal with. She raised one hand in the air and the darkness around Ellen started to disappate slowly.

The scythe Dreadnought had swung at Vendetterous whirred and whistled as he brought around.
"Shoulder must really hurt huh?" The machine walked towards the wounded quarry slowly wielding the blade at a diagonal angle making him seem like a nightmare.
"Tell you what if you surrender and leave with your short bus buddies over there. I promise not to kill any of them."

"how about I make you a ocunter offer, leave them alone and I promise not to murder you in your sleep."
Vendetterous dropped and sweep kicked at the dreadnaughts feet, trying to topple him.

As the foot clipped his legs from under him, Dreadnought used his scythe as leverage and landed safely on the ground.
"The wounded dog has some fight in him."

Keeping his eyes focused on Vendetterous, Dreadnought said to X-T.
"Can your claws rip through his chest plate? That thing really annoys me."
The scythe he carried turned gray and disentergrated in the wind as dust.

In the shadows a man stood. He eyed Jasmine from a distance. She hadn't changed a bit in the year she had been gone.
Jasmine looked up as she felt a new presence, it seemed really familiar

Ellen felt the darkness surround her and tried to scream, but instead the darkness flowed into her mouth choking her.
"What is thise, why isn't anyone helping me!" she though desperately as she felt the darkness begin to eat away at her very begining as she fell to the ground.

X-T smiled, extending the other set of claws.
"No prob," X-T said with a smirk, "Gladly ta do so," X-T then quickly swung forth, aiming for Vendetterous chest plate.

"two on one, now that is hardly fair." Vendetterous dodged widely. He was wounded already and didn't want to take any more chances. The chest plate was designed to stop bullets and slashing motions, but a stabbing from a blade, Vendetterous did not know, and was not in the mood find out.
He stepped off a bit, watching his two opponents, trying to keep both of them in front of him.

Jasmine focussed more on keeping the darkness from killing Ellen. She tried to force it away. She was straining against the power of the dark. Little did she know that someone was watching her from the shadows

Doyle easily noticed Twilight affect on the darkness assaulting Ellen. He turned to look at Twilight checking to see if she was trying to stop her.
"What are you doing? You will bring her back down upon us!" Doyle glared at her with his solid jet black eyes. "She is attacking her own team, you stated you did not care let them fight." Doyle continued quickly trying to bring reason to her.
Doyle could easily see in the dark and more so when people and mutants where about. Doyle noticed the person watching the two of them. Doyle brought his own dark about the two of them to mask them from the newcomer. Twilight just glowed in the dark he created, unlike Midnight who could easily snuff out all light easily Doyle could not. Well at least Doyle was hidden from the one that watch Twilight.

X-T quickly sheathed her claws, pounced off of her hands and landed on her feet lowly. She looked over at Dreadnought, giving him an expession that read "Got any better ideas?" X-T looked back at Vendetterous, standing up straight and side stepping around, hopefully to get him in a crossfire.
"I've face worse," X-T said with a smug looking smile, her arms wide open, "In a jugle. Steamin' hot. An' all th' men were loaded with guns 'bout as long as th' stairwell, but I may be exzaturatin' a bit,"

Chance flipped back and forth, avoiding the objects Ellen threw at him. But then, darkness began to wrap around Ellen, and an icy voice escaped Midnight's mouth, hissing into his ear. Chance shuddered.
"What's happened to you Marie?" He wanted to die inside. Something was wrong, so wrong. The creature in Midnight's body said that she had sacrificed herself for him. What did that mean?
"Midnight are you in there?! MIDNIGHT!" He was screaming loudly now, his long blond hair streaked with sweat and his green eyes red with anger. He was trying to grab hold of her, trying to pull her close. He just wanted to feel her again, to know that she wasn't gone...Torrent and Syphon had been fighting for a few minutes, but the rising darkness from Midnight had made fighting virtually impossible. Caity, watching Ellen get infected by the blackness, screamed out loudly and then made a split second decision.
"Damn you Midnight!" She yelled as she activated her own darkness powers. It killed her to do so, knowing that she was opening herself up to infection, but still it was the only way. Manipulating the darkness she ripped it from Ellen, saving her life. ((ill be gone for a while now...so sorry I cant respond.... ![:'(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cry.png) ))

Chance's hands passed through Midnight as they would through any shadow, but even as that happened, one of Midnight's hands reached out to his, clutching it solidly. Her face twisted with much more than warring emotions and the black eyes gave forth a dull red light. Shadow Spinner barely noticed Syphon removing the darkness from Ellen although it did register. The darkness was too busy fighting a war with its own body to bother at the moment. Midnight could see Eric, and somewhere in her warped and twisted mind, she knew it wasn't supposed to be that way. Something surged through her, but she was not conscious enough to realize what it was. All she knew was that she had to be near him. That something told her that he was her only hope.
((The darkness has trouble holding on to possesed ones when the emotions are very strong. Notice with Chase Jordan that it lost a little control there because Midnight hates him so much. Now because of Midnight's love for Chance, it is having problems again. Interesting, in the book Midnight's Revenge, Midnight controlled the darkness, although her mind was warped. Now it is more the darkness her. Hmm... Oh, and Twilight, I don't think you are gonna have much affect on her darkness. It is different from normal darkness. And either can we pause this until Mike comes back or can you guys just ignore my character until he comes back? I want this thing with Midnight resolved.))

Pain watched as the darkness surrounded Jasmine and the other man. He sighed and continued watching. In a split second decision Pain focused his mind on Jasmine's projecting an image into her head.
Jasmine realized that her power was having no effect on the darkness around Ellen. She stood there trying to decided what to do next. Suddenly she felt a pain rush through her body. She saw her parents yelling at her, telling her to be normal. Telling her that they wouldn't allow a freak to live in their home. The pain of this memory was to much for Jasmine to bare. She fell to her knees and held her head whimpering in pain.
((Oh ok, I didn't know that, sorry))

Vendetterous backed off some more, he looked over at the dark void that naw seemed to consume those he had only moments ago been conversing with. Pain seared through his body as he moved, the wound closed, but the bone still broken. He ignored it for now, it was not important, occupying these two while the rest of he crew got out was though.
Vendetterous was trying to get the two to stay in front of him, to maintain his sight on both of them, but x-t seemed to be trying to out flank him, and soon he would either have to dash through, or attack one or the other of them.

Pain stepped out of the shadows and walked towards Jasmine. He reached her and stood looking down at her. "I'm sorry Twi but you were gonna get hurt." He turned and walked towardsVendetterous. It looked like he might need some help.
Jasmine heard a familular voice in her head calling her Twi. Only one person had ever called her taht. She looked up and tried to focuss on the form but her head was pounding.

X-T smirked, seeing Ventterous shift his weight on his feet. She stopped behind him, keeping her extended claws up.
"You ain't thinkin' on gettin' away, eh?" X-T said her eyebrows furrowed and a smile upon her face.
