[i]Odds of survival? Terminate the source?[/i] What the hell was he on about? Something had changed in James, switched like a Jekyll and Hyde situation. Before Max could continue his line of thoughts, the hoard of ghosts center clattering towards Harry and was forcing the boy band to push closer and closer to Casper, losing footing along the way. Zari was being assaulted as her weapon was tugged at, and everyone else was having to deal with these spirits in some way or another. Selene agreed with Jame's notion and Max's heart sank to his stomach. That wasn't a [i]source[/i] it was his [i]boyfriend[/i] and when the coast seemed clear enough, Max would have to figure out what happened to James between this morning and now. [Color=aba400]"We aren't killing him. And we aren't stripping him of his powers either"[/color] Max said sternly, giving both Selene and James a very pointed look as he chimed in alongside Sunshine. [Color=aba400]"Let's deal with the ghosts and then we can figure out how to calm down his powers."[/color] As if things couldn't go any worse, Marrow was struck hard with her own bones, Sunshine barreling towards her in fear but for now she appeared to be doing fine. Hopefully with her healing she would be fine for just absent longer. Now more than ever Max wanted to rid them of these pests. Andy seemed to pick up the words just fine, helping to exercise the spirits though rather slowly. They needed to speed things up. Max held onto his soulstaff, clanging the bottom onto the ground as he began to recite the words once more. [Color=aba400]"Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus, omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio infernalis adversarii, omnis legio, omnis congregatio et secta diabolica. Ergo, omnis legio diabolica, adiuramus te... cessa decipere humanas creaturas, eisque æternæ perditionìs venenum propinare... Vade, satana, inventor et magister omnis fallaciæ, hostis humanæ salutis... Humiliare sub potenti manu Dei; contremisce et effuge, invocato a nobis sancto et terribili nomine... quem inferi tremunt... Ab insidiis diaboli, libera nos, Domine. Ut Ecclesiam tuam secura tibi facias libertate servire, te rogamus, audi nos"[/color] His vision was becoming speckled with black dots that danced across his sight. He could feel the blood starting to drip out of his eyes, nose, and ears as the seventh ghost disappeared. Max turned his attention towards the ones attacking Harry, continuing the Latin chant as two more disappeared. By now his clothing was becoming drenched in blood. His soulstaff was functioning more as a way to hold him up than to channel his magic, and the words he was speaking were beginning to weaken as he fought to stay up. Max slowly made his way towards James, hoping the old him was still in there somehow. [Color=aba400]"James...please...heal me."[/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] Things were going downhill and quick. Echo had expected a fee attacks here and there, but the amount of them rushing towards him was almost too much. They tried firing back, blocking, and just keeping them from getting past but every movement caused them to take a step back. Before Echo knew it, their heel had hit Caspers body and there was hardly any space left to move. They looked around amd saw how busy everyone else was, fighting their own battles. They cursed silently to themselves as they decided they had to push back on their own. Echo sent out a wide blast of lights, managing to miss everyone with the first Barrage. He exhaled, launching his hand forward and blasting one ghost, allowing them to move forward even if just a little bit. The clones nodded and each blasted a ghost themselves. Now there was a bit more room to maneuver, especially as Max cleared away some more. But when Harry looked towards his former roommate, things appeared to be far worse. [Color=E610B8]"Uh, James. Max looks like he needs some serious attention stat."[/color] After all, James was the only mutant around capable of helping him, and Harry knee nothing of Jame's alter ego.
