It didn't make sense to her how Stareyes' eye beam could just be [i]stopped[/i] like that, the way it seemed to vanish. Her eyes flickered to what Tic Tac was doing (Merbavon), the way he was liquifying the roof. The roof hadn't collapsed yet, but it was sagging and probably near the breaking point. Veil threw a force field at Mebavon, hoping to knock him off the roof and break his concentration - but the force field just seemed to dissipate as soon as it touched him. [color=935DB8]"What the fuck?"[/color] Veil murmured. The next thing she knew, gravity was pressing down on her, feeling like someone had dropped the sky on her shoulders. Veil was forced down to the ground, panting and sweating from extreme pressure, as if some invisible force was crushing her. She tried to make a force field to stop whatever it was, but she couldn't do it, she couldn't focus. She could hardly even breathe. More asteroids then hit the roof. The asteroids missed Jack entirely. One hit Stareyes, knocking her off the roof and into a freefall towards the ground. The other crashed directly into Veil, making a gigantic hole as it pushed her down, down, and down through the several levels of the building.

Maybe it's his evil twin?"[/color] Casper suggested, pretty much as useful as a wet noodle as he let James drag him along. There were more impacts coming by the second, as asteroids continued to careen towards Genosha. Casper turned his head, glancing outside a window they passed, catching a brief glimpse of some of the fighting. There seemed to be a flying person who he couldn't make out - the asteroid chucker in question. And two others? [i]"You could be helping! [b]I[/b] could be helping!"[/i] Ben shouted, an odd mixture between scolding and pleading. [i]"For once in your life, think about someone other than yourself!"[/i] [color=DBA1DE]"Ben, you're making it hard to concentrate!"[/color] Casper complained, as an asteroid hit just a few feet away from the staircase he and James had been about to descend. James' reactive adaption gave him vibranium skin for the moment, allowing him to withstand the impact, but Casper the noodle was thrown backwards, going over the staircase railing. By pure dumb luck (a natural twenty, in fact), Casper managed to grab onto the railing with his hands, dangling now. The drop to the ground floor wouldn't kill him, but it [i]would[/i] shatter several bones in his body. [color=DBA1DE]"Ahhh, Ben, help!"[/color] [i]"Sorry, Ben's sleeping right now,"[/i] Ben snapped. [color=DBA1DE]"Seriously Ben? You have one job! James! Heeeeeelp!"[/color][hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=#DAF7A6]Sunshine[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://66.media.tumblr.com/7ad38adfa429c6d7cd8367528d1092e2/89826f98f6fbe321-3a/s540x810/0c5ad692c58212c69cf5c67fabdb9f803ba79d28.gif[/img][hr][hr][b][color=#DAF7A6]Location:[/color][/b] Hellfire Bay - the Marauder [b][color=#DAF7A6]Skills:[/color][/b] Disease Manipulation, Enhanced Accuracy[/center][hr] Sangre, the aquatic combatant in question, had his body temperature rapidly lowered. The villain frantically created a host of bubbles, surrounding himself with them in the hopes that they might keep his temperature from falling further and even warm him. Unfortunately, the air temperature was in the low 20 degrees Celsius, not incredibly higher than the temperature Echo had lowered Sangre down to (near freezing), so the bubble buddy strategy was mostly unsuccessful. Sunshine gasped for air. [color=#DAF7A6]"Thanks, dude,"[/color] she told Echo, rubbing her neck slightly. She had liked bubbles before this - she never imagined that bubbles could kill. At least Echo seemed to have Bubble Boy (Sangre) under control for the moment. Reeva Payge's voice telepathically echoed in Waverley's mind and Waverley's mind alone: [b][color=B1C1EB]"Feedback, listen carefully. If you're right, then these are the Children of the Vault. They're from an artificially accelerated temporal vault and they believe they should inherit the Earth. We'd encountered a sleeper a while back named Desiree. These things aren't mutants or humans. They will do anything they can to kill every last one of us."[/color][/b] "Now that's more like it!" Marrow praised, seeing the cracks in Piedra Dura that Feedback had made. She grew longer bone marrow spikes on her elbow and swung her elbow up against his stone body, just narrowly missing the cracks. Piedra swung a punch at her, but he went so wide that Marrow was able to duck easily under it. She grew bone spikes out of her knuckles, looking like Wolverine really, and punched, hitting the cracks dead on. Piedra Dura stumbled backwards, [i]gravel[/i] gushing from the wound, but the rock-man wasn't down yet. The first set of bombs detonated, blowing holes in the ship's hull, causing the Marauder to begin to take on water. [color=#DAF7A6]"We need to get the little flatscan shit with the bombs!"[/color] Sunshine shouted, seeing Horadar flicker into view out of the corner of her eye. She created the most powerful disease she could think of and flung it, hitting Horadar dead on. Even though Horadar wasn't human, the effects were nauseating, and he dropped [i]dead[/i] in moments. [color=#DAF7A6]"...Okay, never mind, got him!"[/color] Sunshine called out, right as Martillo went to take a swing at her with his giant hammer to avenge Horadar. [hr][hr][color=f7941d]Akademos...[/color] Cadena, the person wearing the electric spacesuit, raised an eyebrow at Valkyrie and her question. She seemed to debate for a moment whether or not to answer, but that changed when Zarina slashed at her, slicing through her suit. Cadena's eyes flashed with anger. This was personal now. Lightning continued to spark off of her suit and she shaped it with her hands, crafting what looked like a long chain. Cadena threw the chain at Zarina and the chain wrapped around the half Asgardian mutant, electrifying her without stopping. Any ordinary mutant would've died - it was only Zarina's Asgardian heritage that saved her. Some of the kids who studied at the Akademos were cowering in fear - especially Rain Boy, who did NOT want to go anywhere near Cadena. And Cadena wasn't alone. There was another girl with her, Aguja, who appeared to be some sort of energy manipulator, using her mind to throw trees and whatnot at the screaming students. [color=f7941d]House of M...[/color] [color=FF5733]"I hate toads,"[/color] Magneto grumbled, putting on the mask that Miranda had tossed to him without argument. He figured as much as she did - his powers would help them survive. His eyes flashed with rage as he swung his arm around rapidly, metal from the collapsed House of M flying at his command. The metal encased the toad looking person, Veneno, and Magneto then clenched his fist, killing the person instantly. Veneno popped like a squashed balloon - or toad. There was no sign of Polaris. Terramoto went to shake the ground again, reaching down to slap the earth, but Magneto was faster. He sent metal shards flying into Terramoto's arm and Terramoto screamed in pain. Magneto threw metal shards at the last one, Olvido, only for Olvido to more or less pull an Uno reverse card - and send the metal flying at Magneto and Miranda! [color=f7941d]Blackstone...[/color] Pixie, unfortunately, did not speak Latin - so she didn't know what spell they were casting. All she knew was that they were going to help protect Genosha, so she didn't seem to have any nerves or anxiety of worries about what was going on as Max glanced at her. Selene, however, frowned deeply. [color=CDC0CF]"Why isn't this working?"[/color] she murmured. She could feel the energy they were putting off, the way their magic was pulsing like sonar, but... It wasn't doing anything. The attackers were still there. They were still on Genosha. The spell should've targeted all [i]humans[/i]... So what was wrong? [color=CDC0CF]"Max, any ideas?"[/color] Selene asked, since he was actually her most experienced student when it came to combative and defensive magic.
