[b][color=935DB8]Skills:[/color][/b] Invisible Energy Manipulation, Perception[/center][hr]	"Of course - anything for a hero of Genosha," Elixir said kindly, taking Kristina's hand. "I'm Elixir - or, well, Josh too if we're using our human names." He looked a little bashful, as if he found her cute as well. "Everything feeling good?" he then asked her. 

	Veil couldn't help but notice the slight romantic connection between the two. They didn't have time for it though. Genosha was being attacked from multiple locations, and while she hadn't heard any updates from the Three-in-One, she had a strong feeling that they were needed elsewhere. She just didn't know where. And then she wanted to kick herself, realizing that with Aurora, they could move pretty much anywhere instantly and know where they were needed. She blushed slightly, feeling strangely vulnerable. [color=935DB8]"Aurora, would you go see where-"[/color] Veil asked.

	"Of course," Aurora interjected, before dashing off into the sky.  

	A few seconds later, Aurora returned. She looked at the foursome. "Magneto needs your aid," she said, before one by one transporting them in the blink of an eye to the ruins of the House of M. 

	It took Veil a moment to get her bearings, as she felt sick from the rapid travel. It looked like the House of M had collapsed and Magneto was fighting... a cartoon version of a sentinel? Moneta was bleeding out on the ground and she didn't see any sign of anyone else - she hoped that Valkyrie and Andy had made it out okay. She was confident Polaris was fine, Polaris had been through more than most. [color=935DB8]"Magneto, what's going on here?"[/color] Veil asked. 

	Elixir instantly sprinted over to Moneta, knowing where he, as a healer, was most needed. 

	Aurora blasted the sentinel with light, whereas Veil noticed something out of the corner of her eye that almost made her heart stop. It looked like a monstrous thing, standing right behind Magneto with a twisted smile. The creature was invisible, so the others could not see it - but she could. [color=935DB8]"Erik, behind you!"[/color] 

	But Magneto didn't listen, instead turning on Veil and sending a volley of metal blocks at her that she only narrowly managed to shield herself from with a quick force shield.

[b][color=DBA1DE]Skills:[/color][/b] Mediumship[/center][hr]	"Uhh... I'm out," the purple skinned kid said, darting for the nearest exit. This was way more than she had bargained for when she just wanted to take revenge on the silver telepath. 	

	Casper's vision began to clear, as his mind expelled Serafina - that or Serafina was so unnerved by the gaggle of ghouls that she lessened her grip. He no longer saw his father in front of him, he no longer saw the confining small space of the mausoleum, but what he [i]did[/i] see was almost worst. It was like the ballroom filled with ghosts in the Haunted Mansion ride, only it was real. They were shrieking and screaming, demanding to be looked at, flickering in and out of view rapidly. They were covered in ghastly wounds and blood, enough to make Casper's stomach feel sick. And the noise, oh the noise was deafening, he couldn't even hear Ben as his legs gave out and Casper collapsed to the floor. Blue light was enveloping his body and he was shaking like a leaf, completely unaware of his surroundings - unaware that the ghosts could now touch and hurt the man he loved. 

	A ghostly axe came down on James' head, his reactive adaption turning his body into an organic steel and the blade shattered. Serafina was repeatedly shot with ghostly bullets, although they did little more than bruise. She looked freaked out though, as she tried to control her foes with her mind - but couldn't. They were beyond her control. 

	[i][b]"James, you need to knock out Casper!"[/b][/i] Ben urged, his ghostly tentacles grabbing ghosts and flinging them away as best as he could. If he stopped though, one of them would make it to Casper, so he didn't dare try to do it himself.

[b][color=#DAF7A6]Skills:[/color][/b] N/A [/center][hr]	Sunshine flinched slightly at Spark Plug's touch. [color=#DAF7A6]"Why are you saying sorry to me? You should be saying sorry to her - she's the one that's dead!"[/color] Sunshine snapped, rising to her feet and gesturing angrily at Waverley's body. She kept on replaying the promise of Genosha in her mind - that they were safe here, that they didn't need to worry about being murdered, that they could relax and live. She didn't know who had sent those monsters, but it didn't matter. She blamed humans for it all the same. One way or another, it was always a flatscan's fault. [color=#DAF7A6]"We should've killed all the stupid humans, they're the ones who did this, they're the ones who should be dead instead of her!"[/color]

	"C'mon, Sun, we'll go kill the rest of these assholes," Marrow said encouragingly. At Echo's words, the [i]Mercury[/i] began to vibrate and then it shot off, heading in the direction of Hellfire Manor, as if the craft could sense exactly where it was needed to go. In a matter of seconds, the craft descended on top of the Manor and from below, there was the sound of ghastly wails and shrieks. They could see a group of mutants who had evacuated the Manor, staring at the main entrance as if anticipating some sort of monster to emerge. [hr][hr][color=f7941d]Akademos...[/color]

	"Is... is it safe now?" Rain Boy asked timidly, his eyes wide. The other students looked similarly freaked out, most of them having never witnessing violence like that before. They were used to humans trying to kill them, but not people who might as well have been other mutants. It was difficult to tell how Cosmar was doing, with how distorted her body was, but Glob was jiggling slightly from fear. 

	"...I like your horse," one student, with antlers coming out of her head, said somewhat timidly, looking at the pegasus in awe. 

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

	Pixie hesitated, not wanting to share her own trauma, trauma that had come at the hand of someone she trusted, a Russian mutant sorceress. She didn't notice the way Selene was watching her and Max intently, as if dying to know the explanation herself. Pixie then nodded, before a similar weapon appeared in her own hand, a dagger surrounded by glowing light. "It's part of your soul, Max. But as long as you have the bloodstones, it should be okay... It'd be really bad if you didn't..." There was a ruby gem in the hilt of Pixie's dagger - but Max had no such stones. 

	[color=CDC0CF]"The Frost Sisters are silent,"[/color] Selene said. She looked at the bodies of the Coven. Only a few others beyond Max and Pixie had survived. Her face fell. [color=CDC0CF]"We ought to aid them, if you all are ready for another battle. I won't ask you to risk your lives again today. With the false supreme's power, I can handle this threat myself and spare you the cost."[/color]
