	Casper gasped for air, sitting up so quickly it was as if he had been roused by a nightmare. His skin was cold and clammy, covered in a thin layer of sweat - and some of his own blood. His couture was absolutely ruined, the pink dress only a shadow of its former self. He looked like he had come straight from [i]Carrie[/i], rather than the Hellfire Gala. [color=DBA1DE]"James?"[/color] Casper called out, getting up to his feet now. His entire body was shaking and trembling, but Casper didn't remember why. The last thing he remembered was... 

	[color=DBA1DE]"Why the hell is her ass so big?!?!?!?!"[/color] Casper blurted, looking in horror (and a bit of wonder) at Selene's gigantic blue god ass that was taking up the sky. [color=DBA1DE]"Jackie? Ben?"[/color] Casper called out. He didn't see anyone around him - the place looked almost entirely deserted. The last thing he remembered was... He had been running off after James, going to save him. Someone must've knocked him out, Casper figured. 

	[color=DBA1DE]"Where did you all go? Honestly, so rude to leave me on the floor - besties don't do that!"[/color] 

[b][color=f7941d]The Stage[/color][/b]

	Due to the evacuation (that Selene had been too busy [i]slaying[/i] to really pay attention to), there weren't very many mutant souls left hanging around for her to eat. And while she was incredibly powerful right now, she wasn't finished yet - she knew that she hadn't reached all the omnis of power (omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient). She needed to eat more souls. [color=CDC0CF]"I s'pose this party really has ended, hmm?"[/color] Selene mused. [color=CDC0CF]"Time for me to go get some snacks - I think the X-Men would hit the spot,"[/color] she added, speaking over her shoulder to some sort of imaginary audience. She continued to walk, heading for the western coast of the island. With each step, the island shuddered in pain like it was a living being, and with the now near constant tremors it was clear that Genosha simply could not last much longer. The island would fall apart. 

	Meanwhile down on the ground, well on the stage proper, Magneto considered the situation at hand. He had privately regretted not doing a better job by his first Brotherhood of Mutants - that he hadn't trained them properly before sending them off out into the world. If his adopted daughter Andy's life had not been sufficient motivation, as well as the countless mutant lives Selene had claimed and those she continued to threaten, then perhaps working with this ragtag group would be some means of atonement. [color=FF5733]"You heard your fellow mutant - we have work to be done,"[/color] Magneto said to the group. 

	Lightning seemed to gather in his eyes, as the Master of Magnetism went to work. He pushed and pulled, working the metal surrounding them before shaping it into a swirling storm. Magneto sent the metallic storm chasing off after Selene, zipping around her like flies, the individual bits of metal so fine that the goddess didn't notice as they slowly began to adhere to her body, giving Spark Plug (and Andy, for that matter) the opening to strike with the rage of the elements. 

	[color=935DB8]"Any chance you could fill us in on the mutant magic plan now?"[/color] Veil asked Max. It was furiously windy now as the ground shook, and Veil's hair was practically swirling around her head, a tight mess of curls stuck in the wind. She was putting her all into holding up the force field, but it was beginning to shimmer and weaken. She locked eyes with her twin for a moment, glad to see that he was alright - and a bit sad that he had to meet Dazzler under circumstances like this. She knew he adored Dazzler. Who didn't?

	[color=#DAF7A6]"Kinda cliché to do magic to beat her, but whatever. If it works, it works,"[/color] Sunshine said. She and Marrow were working together, and while Sunshine's aim was true, Selene was slowing beginning to leave her range. They'd need to get things done - quickly. Dazzler was sending off beams of light still as well, tapping her foot to an imaginary beat. 

	And then, a familiar face showed up, dashing up to the group, covered in blood and sweat but no worse for the wear... 

	[color=DBA1DE]"You know the last time I was abandoned on the floor at a party, I woke up in a cell cradling a tiny cactus like it was a baby."[/color]
