	Polaris narrowed her eyes at Sapphire. [color=A9F8C7]"You're the girl in love with my boyfriend - Sapphire, right?"[/color] she questioned. [color=A9F8C7]"I'll deal with you in a minute."[/color] She turned her attention to Waverley, listening to what she had to say patiently. As much as Polaris visibly looked like a villain at the moment, she hadn't actually made a move to attack her. She sighed like a disappointed teacher at Waverley's childish ideals, as well as her supposed flaws in the system that the Hellfire Club already had plans in store for. Her eyes widened a bit as Waverley then [i]jumped[/i] from the car. 

	Kristina flew after Waverley, but she got the timings wrong and couldn't catch Waverley, their fingers just barely grazing each other as Waverley continued her rapid descent towards the Earth. Sapphire made a quick and rickety ice slide for Waverley. Waverley hit the slide badly, on her right arm to be exact, breaking her arm on impact - yet otherwise, it was a success, the slide bringing her down to solid ground. 

	[color=A9F8C7]"Right, anyways, like I was saying... HOW FUCKING DARE YOU SLEEP WITH MY GODDAMN BOYFRIEND, YOU BITCH!"[/color] she yelled. There wasn't anyone in the car to worry about keeping alive, so Polaris swung the car like a bat at Sapphire. She missed on the first pass but continued on through, before knocking the Disney Princess lookalike off of the narrow ice platform and sending Sapphire plummeting down to the Earth. Polaris let Sapphire fall, ripping the car in half down the middle so that way she essentially had two really big sticks - and then the Mistress of Magnetism flew down in pursuit.

[b][color=935DB8]Skills:[/color][/b] Invisible Energy Manipulation [hr][/center]	Veil's heart was a thunderstorm of pure nervous energy. She had tried to do something new to help Echo get on up there to Feedback, but it had almost killed her brother in the process, if Supergirl hadn't been there she would have had to plan a funeral. Feedback had almost died from falling from the sky as well, but it looked like Sapphire had saved her with an ice ramp. Cayden had already died - so much had happened she hadn't even been able to properly process that. Her heart could hardly take it as she saw her best friend falling now, with Polaris in pursuit. 

	[color=FAFD95]"This isn't Lorna - it's Mesmero or Mastermind or someone!"[/color] Havok begged. 	

	[color=935DB8]"Havok, get your shit together or go take cover,"[/color] Veil snapped at him. She didn't mean to sound so aggressive with it - she knew he was going through a lot, but Sapphire was falling from dozens of feet up in the air and they didn't have time to theorize about who was responsible for Polaris' behavior. 

	Veil took a deep breath and backed up a couple of paces. She then took off at a sprint, jumping onto a force field platform she had made. She launched herself up from platform to platform, steadily climbing in height. One bad jump however and she would be yet another mutant in need of saving from gravity. She was gaining height quickly and she reached her hands out, hoping Sapphire could grab on and she could get them down together. 

	The ground shook however as their bad luck increased - two [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/xmenmovies/images/a/a7/Past_Sentinel_01.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160630144639]sentinels[/url] that were like mini skyscrapers, each of them easily 50 feet tall. On their shoulders were an American flag emblem and the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo, identifying them as official government property. Waverley had been right earlier - more qualified backup [i]was[/i] on the way. 

	[b]"STAND DOWN OR WE WILL USE DEADLY FORCE!"[/b] a voice boomed, amplified from the sentinels. [b]"YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FOR DESTRUCTION OF PUBLIC PROPERTY, CAUSING TERROR AND UNREST, AND USE OF DANGEROUS FORCE!"[/b][hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=#DAF7A6]Sunshine[/color] & [color=DBA1DE]Casper[/color][/b][/h3] [img]https://i.imgur.com/z40d6mB.png[/img][hr][hr][b]Location:[/b] Mutant Friendly Clinic - Parking Lot
[b]Skills:[/b] [color=DBA1DE]Mediumship[/color] [hr][/center]	In their midst was an intangible and unseeable [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/8/86/Belasco_%28Earth-616%29_from_New_X-Men_Vol_2_37.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20190928011412]omen[/url] - a being without a soul. He might have easily been mistaken as Ares by the Greeks, his face dripping with red and horns curling up out of his hair. His great axe dwarfed Max. Magik stared directly at Lord Belasco of the Corrupted, Master of Worlds Within Worlds. 

	[i]"It's time, Darkchylde."[/i] His voice was like a symphony of nails on a chalkboard in the midst of a Black Mass, like the bones of a murdered child being ground in a blender. 

	[color=DBA1DE]"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!"[/color] Casper screamed, starting to hyperventilate. His sixth sense was telling him that the specter in front of them wasn't actually a ghost. It was something dark and malevolent, creating an unnatural heat. The snow all around them was melting rapidly, as if the water molecules were attempting to escape. [color=DBA1DE]"C-Can anyone else see this Darth Maul rip off? I'm going to pass out. I'm going to die. Damn it why did I go sober I need drugs this is way too much!"[/color] Casper rambled. He was shaking visibly, likely from fear, and he couldn't help but cry as well. He was lucky he hadn't wet his pants. 

	Magik's body fell to the ground, succumbing to the ravages of M-Pox. Her [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/61/fa/68/61fa68e5cee17f43fbcd5c809ec7c12c.jpg]spirit[/url] remained there, with glowing eyes, a twisted tail, and horns. The ghost of Magik turned to Casper. [i][color=6B576F]"Tell Piotr this is forever."[/color][/i] Casper couldn't help himself this time as Belasco and Magik melted away, a pentagram burned into the ground where Magik's body had fallen - one that everyone could see. He peed his pants out of fear and terror - and partially because he hadn't gone to the bathroom before they left for the clinic. [color=DBA1DE]"O-o-o-oh god,"[/color] Casper wailed, stumbling into the van and falling to the ground on the pavement. 

	[color=#DAF7A6]"Magik!!!"[/color] Sunshine screamed - no, it was more like the dying roar of a lion, desperate, afraid, and alone. She rushed over to Magik and knelt down next to her, cradling her body in her arms. She was already crying as she rocked Magik back and forth, pleading with her to stop this game, that it wasn't a funny trick and she really couldn't keep on pretending to die, three times was already three too many. She put her hands on Illyana's face and tried to do something she never had done before - to heal her, rather than give her a disease, but nothing happened. Sunshine hardly registered as James came over and tried to revive Illyana. 

	[color=DBA1DE]"This is forever,"[/color] Capser mumbled. [color=DBA1DE]"Th-that's what she said... Sh-sh-she had horns and a-a tail and th-this scary guy with w-w-w-way too much red body paint on, like some sort of Kool-Aid Man mega fan, he t-t-took her!"[/color]

	[color=#DAF7A6]"LIAR!!!!"[/color] Sunshine screeched. She couldn't feel her hands, she was barely aware as she kept on brushing the hair from Magik's face. She didn't know how to perform CPR, but Sunshine shoved James out of the way and tried to do mouth to mouth. Nothing worked. Nothing could make Illyana's heart start beating. Sunshine's first love had died. [color=#DAF7A6]"Apollo, save her, please,"[/color] Sunshine begged, looking up at the sky. [color=#DAF7A6]"Thanatos, take me with her!!!"[/color]

	Not even her gods listened. 

	Magik was right.

	This was forever.
