[b][color=12ABB0]Skills:[/color][/b] Telekinetic Combat, Minor Molecular Combustion [hr][/center]	Runa smiled slightly sadistically, beyond amused with the threats from the puny mortal girl. The weapon pressed up against her neck was made of shadows and shadows fell into Runa's domain. Lies lived in the dark and her father was the god of light. She didn't even blink, staring Bethany down as the spear began to shrink and shrink, until it measured only twelve inches in length. [color=#a81a75]"What a lovely toothpick you have,"[/color] Runa said dryly. [color=#a81a75]"Do be careful - you might [i]scratch[/i] me with that if you aren't careful."[/color]

	[color=#a81a75]"Now watch closely, as I demonstrate proper technique,"[/color] Runa said. She created a gigantic sword out of darkness - a claymore, in fact, and she rushed at Bethany, impaling her on the sword. She drove it through her as far as it could go, critically wounding the X-Man. Bethany's blood was everywhere. She was dying. 

	Meanwhile, Neil was reeling. His idea of breaking Loki's concentration hadn't really worked at all - they were still in a horrible position. His arms were bleeding - not an entirely new sensation, he'd cut his arms in rituals before with his family when blood from a non-magic user was required. And just as he had realized how stupid his plan had been in practice, Loki made it [i]rain fire[/i]. The burns hurt way more than the stings from the cuts. They were incredibly painful, even as Neil knew deep down that they weren't that bad, that things could have been a lot worse. 

	So, he decided it was time to go to the good old standby. It was cruel and violent, but that tended to be how Neil had the most success with these things. He had destroyed Klara's eye. When Mesmero controlled him, he had tried to rip out Mira's vocal cords. He just needed to lean into his strengths, so he yanked as hard as he could on Loki's tongue, but it wouldn't sever. Neil gritted his teeth and tried again and this time, the tongue came [i]out[/i]. It flew into his hand and Neil stared at it, a little bit in shock. He tried to make Loki's teeth explode next, but he only managed to get one - but even then, it had certainly been violent enough, hopefully enough to help stop Loki for good.

[b][color=cc33ff]Skills:[/color][/b] Telepathy [hr][/center]	Everything was on fire and nothing at all was fine - so it was more or less a standard day for the X-Men. Guin used to panic in battles like this, but now she was largely calm as long as no one she loved was seriously injured. Annie looked like she was in pretty bad shape, yet nothing that suggested to Guin that Annie was about to die or anything. The rest of the fights were too sprawled out and all over the place for Guin to really judge as to how they were doing, so she blasted off into the air and started firing down shot after shot at Loki. Her first volley didn't connect, but her second did, blasting Loki to the ground. 

	[i][color=cc33ff]Huh, he isn't monologuing - weird,[/color][/i] Guin commented, as she closed the gap between her and Loki. She grabbed him by the neck and used her suit's strength to bash his head repeatedly against the ground, over and over and over again as she tried to knock him out. He was incredibly stubborn though, refusing to lose consciousness, even as he was bleeding heavily from his wounds. [i][color=cc33ff]Why can't this stupid god just go to sleep already!!![/color][/i]

	[color=7ea7d8][i]Cause he's stubborn?[/i][/color]

	[i][color=cc33ff]Can you come knock him out? I'm clearly not really good at this and I don't want to kill him by accident.[/color][/i]

	[color=7ea7d8][i]No offense but seriously doubt he's easy to kill.[/i][/color]

	[i][color=cc33ff]If I kill him by accident doing this, I'm going to remind you we had this conversation then babe.[/color][/i]
