A knot formed inside his stomach as worry quickly overcame him, crashing like a wave before receding back into the depths of his mind. That was a problem for later. For now, Max smiled towards Maria, offering to stay and help out instead of heading back home. [Color=aba400]"Thanks I appreciate it. Selene, if you feel you have Hellfire Manor under control then I'll take Maria and any who wish to come elsewhere to continue the fight. I'm sure others need our help."[/color] Max tried to think of who to contact, Veils team was up high last he saw them, and his fear of heights would do him no good there. If he tried contacting Sunshine, she'd kick his ass for insisting she needed help knowing full well she had anything handled. It felt selfish, but he wanted to speak to James, his closest friend on this island. He needed to make sure he was ok. [Color=aba400]"Hey, I'm glad I got a hold of you. How are things at your end? Everything going smoothly? I have Maria here to help us out."[/color] [color=mediumspringgreen]"Who-"[/color] Suddenly there was silence. Max's heart dropped to his stomach as he tried to figure out what had happened. Either James didn't recognize him, or he was attacked and made to break off his communication. Max tapped the bottom of his staff onto the ground, a loud resonating sound coming from the impact as a portal opened up to James. [i][color=aba400]Throw wide the gates[/color][/i] [color=aba400]"Change of plans. James needs our help"[/color] The scene before him was like something out of a nightmare. Countless ghosts were wailing and screaming creating a deafening sound. James held Casper by the throat, his body hanging limp in his grasp while a silver lady recoiled at the ghostly invaders. Max didn't have time to ask what was going on, so he needed to make the time. Either James had gone crazy or Casper had, but either way they needed to be separated for the time being. Max conjured magical chains, similar to the ones used to trap the president back in House of M, wrapping them around his wrists and waist before pulling them back and separating the two. He then held out one arm towards Casper as a salt ring began to form and encircle his body to help keep the ghosts at bay. [Color=aba400]"Ben! James! What the hell is going on here? Who's friend? who's foe? And more importantly can you step aside so I can try and perform a mass exorcism?"[/color] [h1][b][i][color=E610B8][center]Echo[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h1][center][img]https://i.postimg.cc/9FWbx1tc/image.png[/img][/center][hr][center][color=E610B8][b]Location[/b][/color]: Hellfire Bay [color=E610B8][b]Skills[/b][/color]:Laser LightShow, PitchPerfect, SoundWaveManipulation[/center][hr][hr] Sadly, Harry had no other words for Sunshine. He was struggling to find words for himself as is. There was an unspoken future that he had seen for Waverly. Something outside of the vigilante work and risk of death. Her skillset was undoubtedly unique, as was her personality. But he didn't have the luxury of time to deal with her death right now. As soon as he mentioned helping others the craft began to move towards a new location. It seemed to be able to feel intent, and it was taking them towards their next stand. Oddly enough, Harry hoped it had a punching bag for Sunshine to take her anger out on. When they arrived they were atop Hellfire Manor. An audience of mutants scattered below looking as if they were waiting for something horrific to happen. Harry made his way off the ship, his clones following suit as he nodded towards Callie. [Color=E610B8]"Agreed."[/color] He went for the rooftop access, pulling on it only to find it was locked. Annoyed, Harry rolled his eyes and snapped his fingers, a large blast coming down and blowing the door right off. [Color=E610B8]"Let's go."[/color] Harry and the Boys made their way down and saw as Casper lay on the ground, blue energy surrounding him, James was being held back, Max was entering through a portal, and ghosts attacked a silver woman. She must've been the one to fight. The reason for all this chaos. After all she fit the bill for the ones they'd fought before. Echo went to assault her, about to call her out for who she was when suddenly she turned towards him and uttered him to be quiet. His voice died inside his throat and he couldn't speak. He gave Barry a pleading look and he understood what to do. Barry gave a sharp whistle and a laser appeared right before the silver mistress, knocking her back and into solid masses of ghosts. In all truth, it was a horrifying sight.
