[b][color=935DB8]Skills:[/color][/b] Invisible Energy Manipulation[/center][hr]	There was only one enemy left on the rooftop now - Perro, the gravity manipulator. Veil had tried her best not to feel nauseous or disgusted when Jack lost his form, only to regain it after some quick thinking from Kris got rid of Merbavon's threat. Merbavon screamed in pain and fell unconscious almost at the same exact time that Kris destroyed the portion of the roof beneath his feet, likely condemning him to death. But truthfully, Veil didn't care. They had been attacked, their home was under attack, and these people, they weren't going to stop. These were the sort of people who only wanted to kill. 

	And Veil always believed in treating people the way that they treated others. 

	The structural integrity of the building was holding, but just barely. Perro was still locked in a battle of wills with Aurora, increasing her gravity as she put more and more effort into maintaining her flight. Both of them were strained, sweat beading up on their forehead. Veil thought for a moment, before turning invisible. It took more effort than she would've liked - she needed sleep, coffee, and a doctor, preferably in that order. Veil made her way around Perro, until she was right behind him. She looked on the ground for something to use as a weapon, finding only a chunk of asteroid. Veil gently picked it up...

	And then [i]SLAMMED[/i] it into Perro's head. Perro crumpled to the ground, and with his hold gone, Aurora shot way up into the sky.

[b][color=DBA1DE]Skills:[/color][/b] Mediumship[/center][hr]	Casper really wanted to take a peak inside, so rather than stay behind, he quietly followed alongside James, craning his neck to try and get a better view. The silver woman looked more like a robot modeled on Britney Spears than a person to him. He was about to make a comment about that, when he remembered that James [i]had[/i] motioned for him to be quiet. Ben though, Ben didn't need to be quiet at all. 

	[i]"Doesn't she remind you of Britney Spears?"[/i] Ben asked. 

	Casper gave him a pleading look, as if to scream - [i]Beeeen, I'm doing my best here to not taaaaaalk[/i]! Ben smirked in turn, enjoying the slight bit of revenge. Ben's revenge didn't last long though, as James asked Casper a question - and Casper quickly reminded himself a few times of the need to be quiet. [color=DBA1DE]"My main fantasy to kill my father is putting him at one of those landings between floors, where you can only use stairs to go up or down,"[/color] Casper admitted, with a malicious twinkle in his eyes. [color=DBA1DE]"He'll be trapped for ages up there. And you can't telepath stairs."[/color]

	[i]"...Really Casper? Stairs is your plan to kill Professor X?"[/i]

	[color=DBA1DE]"I don't hear you having a better plan, Ben!"[/color] Casper whispered, although his volume rose a bit at the end. 

	[i]"How about James' plan?"[/i] Ben asked. 

	[color=DBA1DE]"I dunno Ben, can you do that?"[/color] Casper asked. He was pretty sure that Ben was capable of it, mostly since it sounded weird enough to work, and Casper was very easily persuaded to believe that all horror movie concepts applied to his powers. It was one of the reasons he was so terrified of ghosts - he didn't want them all up in his body! 

	[i]"I'll do it,"[/i] Ben told Casper. [i]"Be back in a few."[/i] Ben then walked into the room, heading straight up to the silver Britney. [color=DBA1DE]"He's going now,"[/color] Casper whispered to James, since James couldn't see Ben. 

	A moment later, it was like an evil chill or a shudder went down Silver Britney's spine. "Who's there?" Britney accused, looking around defensively. "Get out of my body!" she then snapped, before her eyes rolled into the back of her head, revealing just white pupils. "Hey guys. It's me - Ben," she said. 

	[color=DBA1DE]"Hi Ben!"[/color] Casper shouted, waving at his friend.

[b][color=#DAF7A6]Skills:[/color][/b] Disease Manipulation, Enhanced Accuracy [/center][hr]	The ship they were all standing on wasn't anything like the Marauder - [i]the Mercury[/i] looked like a UFO to Sunshine. It was sleek and smooth, humming as well. She couldn't see a single line on the ship to indicate an entrance or a window. If it hadn't been for the name scrawled onto it and the fact that it looked like a UFO, she wouldn't have known it was a ship at all. It was strange and alien. Her ears then [i]popped[/i] as Waverley's deafness field finally ended, allowing them all to hear. 

	"OH MOTHERFUCKER!" Marrow screamed, cursing from the pain. She had one hand pressed up against her stomach, doing her best to stem the bleeding. Right next to her was what could only be described as Bowser from the Mario Series. The creature's claws were stained red with Marrow's blood. And Sunshine, realizing [i]that[/i] was the thing that had hurt her wife, saw red in turn. 

	[color=#DAF7A6]"You hurt my wife!"[/color] Sunshine lobbed a ball of disease at Bowser, and as always, her aim was perfect. In another life, she could've competed with Hawkeye, maybe even beat him. Such was the nature of her secondary mutant gift. The disease crawled inside of Bowser, ensnaring his organs and bringing out the mother of immune responses. Bowser was feeling feverish and coughing up a storm, his throat feeling like sandpaper. 

	Echo had killed half of the Dupes, but there were still twenty five left standing. Ten Dupes rushed at Echo, seeming him as the majority threat. They didn't seem to have any special powers, mostly just hitting and kicking at him. One of them scratched Echo beneath the eye. Another one kicked him in the small of the back. Three of them went up to Sunshine, pulling at her hair to attempt to force her down to the ground. None of them bothered Spark Plug. Ten of them went for Waverley, one of the ten putting hands around her throat. And two went for Marrow, attempting to kick her in her wounded stomach. [hr][hr][color=f7941d]Akademos...[/color]

	Cadena was dead by Zarina's hand. Aguja died soon after her, killed by an unknown hand. For the briefest of moments, no one was attacking the Akademos. However, the young mutants who studied there were completely terrified and a fair number of them were injured, some of them critically so. Zarina and Andy's work was far from done. They were just getting started. 

[color=f7941d]House of M...[/color]

	Magneto's eyes flashed green as well. Whatever he saw, no one else knew. But by the way the blood drained from his face, the Master of Magnetism was truly scared. Metal began to whip around him like snakes... only to then go flying towards... Miranda?!??!?!

	Meanwhile, Miranda would still hear the screams of her children. Her son was begging for her to help him, screaming that he was stuck under the rubble and his leg was broken. His daughter's cries had turned into wails, the desperate pleas just pure emotion. 

[color=f7941d]Blackstone...[/color]

	Cripta (or perhaps better named Cthulu?) seemed to enjoy the hydra Max had sent their way. All of their magical focus was going into what looked like a shield, but within moments, it would be clear that it was more of a [i]siphon[/i]. The hydra was decreasing in size the longer it rammed up against the shield, until it was so small that it could scarcely be seen, and then, it was nothing at all. Cripta had acquired a strange orange glow and their tentacles wiggled. "Mm, I was a bit peckish," Cripta taunted. "Thank you for the snack." 

	The tentacles then went taut, as a fiery beast of Cripta's own design flooded into being. It looked like a kraken, its flames blue. The kraken ensnared Max in one of its tentacles, and he should've been burnt alive, if not for some quickly placed purple runes wrapping around him - Selene's magic! 

	"Max!" Pixie screamed.
