Something Wicked (Part Two)

[sand-hawkins.livejournal.com]

(The following is a continuance of this scene.)

The battle wasn't going well...but it could be a lot, LOT worse.

The chimp had arrived, and he brought backup - but it sure as heck wasn't the Justice League.

Sand had surveyed the situation.  Chimp was on his way to meet with Corrine and Caleb, to add the last ingredient of the potion.   Tefe Holland (not sure how SHE got there, but she was a welcome sight) was advancing on where Green Shield and the blue man were fighting it out - and Tara looked like she needed help.  The aliens had shifted form - into a werewolf-like creature and an ice construct, apparently - and were about to engage Mammoth and Shimmer.

Meanwhile, Brainwave and Psimon were apparently fighting one another, with neither getting a clear advantage over the other just yet.   The witch, Magique, however, had just apparently taken her Megazord form and had laid HARD into Trevor.   THERE is where he was needed at the moment.

Sand took a moment to look into the sky  almost as if the battle hadn't been fully joined yet.

A wave of the hand, and the fire wall dispels. It's hard for fire to hurt when it's having a hard time hitting target in the first place.

She reaches in, grabs Trevor by the throat, and lifts.

Suddenly the ground erupts underneath Magique, and she's swallowed whole by a mound of earth, forcing her to release Trevor.

She's then spit directly skyward, as Sand emerges from the ground to the surface.

Trevor looks up from his kneeling position, still holding his neck, and sees Magique tumbling. Okay, enough of playing their way. Now it's my turn.

Jumping as hard as he can, Trevor adds as much pyrokinetic propulsion as he can to put himself on an intercept course with the witches. As he goes, he heats up the strike pads until they're glowing white.

[monstersociety.livejournal.com]

The gestalt-form of the Witches tumbles, then straightens out before holding in the air level via levitation.

At that point, however, Trevor connects, and her head snaps back with the glow. The mark of the strike pads is clear as there is charred flesh on her cheek. Eyes glowing with rage, she counters with a hard kick to Trevor's sternum, follwed by a flipover ax kick that sends Trevor plummeting to the ground with authoritative force.

Psimon has been fighting Brainwave mentally for nearly 30 seconds now...

Then he notices that his nose is bleeding. The fact that he shut off his pain receptors allowed him to not notice the fact that his body was beginning to be ripped apart.

Bastard has some sort of anti-psi spell around him. Psimon thinks to himself. Time to find a new target.

So he uses the proximity to knee Henry King in the groin.

Henry doubles over in pain - Psimon seriously broke a man-law with that attack. Brainwave then realizes why he was attacked physically.

He takes a moment to acknowledge Sand's request to expand the braintrust, so to speak. Then he goes PAST Psimon's mind right to the driver's seat. "Psimon deserves a lot of things, but having his brain eaten alive isn't one of them.

He then looks to the side and sees Mammoth and Shimmer. He has no idea who the other two are - but they look, on the surface, outmatched.

He sends a direct mental attack to Mr. Mind, enough to knock him out and incapactitate him, if it works.

After several arrow shots and a couple of her own punches, Tara was having issues with the blue humanoid now in front of her. He had just landed a solid punch that sent her flying towards the edge of the woods.

He then notices that internally some of his energy signatures were beginning to redline, and he makes the internal adjustments necessary to level out. Wondeful piece of machinery, the reactor core within him.

He then advances on the woman with the bow, barely cognizant of anyone else approaching.

It was time to stop being a reactive child and fight with her brain. The blue man...thing...had just hit the person she was supposed to help so she puts herself inbetween the woman and the construct.

He couldn't be destroyed easily, but there's nowhere that plants can't go so in minute amounts she started growing tiny plants on his surface. It would take some time but roots could tear down mountains he wouldn't be any different. But she was doing it so small to start with so he wouldn't notice it was going to take a while so keeping him busy was a must.

"Stay away from her."

[monstersociety.livejournal.com]

Tefe discovers something disturbing - there's an ambient level of radiation emanating on his surface that's making the growth of plant life - at least the plant life she's trying to sport - extremey difficult.

"No." He simply says, and unleashes multiple waves of destructive radiation energy towards Tefe.

[tefe-holland.livejournal.com]

Ok, this was going to take a lot of effort. Her skin blistered, peeled and reformed over and over as the radiation waves hit her. Keeping ahead of the destruction was almost as hard as when Kudzu had impaled her on that damn sword that was supposed to be able to kill anything.

And plant life is adaptable, she just had to change what she was trying to grow on him and flood it with enough energy to keep going. But it was going to be a very slow process.

"I won't let you hurt her." and the roots under the ground heave up to try and throw him backwards and off balance.

[monstersociety.livejournal.com]

Mammoth's still shaking out the cobwebs from being hit by Dr. Manhattan when Shimmer notes the two unknown entities heading towards them.

"Oh joy, we've got fire *AND* ice in the mix." Shimmer says. "Think you can paper train the puppy over there, Baran?"

[flame-of-green.livejournal.com]

She'd been holding back, arguing with herself about why she's here. Didn't she want OUT of this nonsense?

When it comes right down to it, however, she can't just stand by and watch. A frown creases her brows and she ignites.

"Train this." It isn't shouted. It isn't even a raised voice. It's a simple statement followed up with a blast of green fire drawn in a line in front of Shimmer and Mammoth.

[monstersociety.livejournal.com]

Shimmer swore. "HER I know. Baran, take the twins."

Immediately the sky above Fire changes to rain. No rainclouds...just drops of water.

[green-shield.livejournal.com]

She wasn't doing jack against the evil Smurf so she's letting other people handle that for now. Running towards Trevor, who looks like he's managed become an extra in a Rami flick.

"Hey that's not Karo syrup..." she jokes weakly as she breaks out her medkit.

[hotshot1280.livejournal.com]

"Nope," Trevor tell her, finally letting himself notice the amount of blood flowing down his stomach but maintaining his usual air of humor. "One hundred percent Trevor Cole."

Trevor pulls his shirt up, keeping an eye on the battles in progress as he lets Green Shield work. The green woman who showed up recently seems to be having trouble with Shimmer, and the blue people are just complete wild cards, but Trevor forces himself to stay put. He can't help anyone if his guts wind up on the ground

[green-shield.livejournal.com]

They won't because she's here to put them back in.

"Knit one, perl two..." she quips as she gets out the stitches and the needles. trevor is the worst and him going into shock would be bad. She also needs him to stay awake. Keeping him talking though? No problem at all.

"Where's Chimp and the stuff?"

[onthecase.livejournal.com]

Having crossed the lawn, the Chimp ducks into the house, searching for the stairs to the attic.

"Caleb?" he calls. "Where are you?!"

[caleb-z.livejournal.com]

“Over here!” Caleb calls, overjoyed that the final ingredient has arrived. A second later he remembers having spun the illusion over the staircase, and with a wave of his hand dismisses it.

“We’re in the attic,” he again calls before turning back to Corrine. “Looks like you’ve managed to successfully cheat the reaper yet again.” His voice may be serious, but his expression suggests levity.

[damage-girl.livejournal.com]

Corrine doesn't head entirely down the stairs, but she takes a few steps at a leap. She catches herself on the rail to keep from face-planting.

At this point, she's realized talking is a bit of a lost cause. No guarantee on mind-speak being any better... she throws her hands out at Chimp in appreciation and... well, maybe that's a dance. Whatever it is, she's ecstatic at her comrade's appearance.

Holding up her hands, shrugging her shoulders, 'what now?'

[sand-hawkins.livejournal.com]

Sand looks around. Everyone *SEEMS* down for the count, except for the construct. Magique wasn't accounted for yet either. Once Brainwave has linked Travis into the mindtrust, he shouts mentally Everyone on the battlefield, converge to me, please. We're not done yet, and we've got an opponent that we're gonna need everyone to beat.

[hotshot1280.livejournal.com]

Trevor heads for the group, taking in the aliens' new forms, as well as Mammoth's inert form. The stitches seem to be holding, as well as the bandages, which leaves Trevor in good shape other than suffering from a major nicotine fit.

"Any sign of the witches or Blue Boy?" Trevor asks, still trying to get sand out of his throat and lungs. "By the way, any chance you can give me a hand, Sand? Element Lass over there shoved a sand box down my throat."

Trevor waves to the people he doesn't know as an after-thought. "Hi. I'm Hotshot."

[sand-hawkins.livejournal.com]

Sand draws the sand out of Trevor's clothes and other various extremities. "Thanks, Trevor...and someday, down the road, Corrine may thank you too." He quips, with a mischievous smile.

[green-shield.livejournal.com]

She looks to Fire for one moment after looking her over. "One sec, here."

She fires a volley of tar arrows at the yellow bastard. "Think you can do something with that and I''ll see if your ribs are cracked?"

[flame-of-green.livejournal.com]

She still feels a bit wobbly...lack of oxygen to the brain and all that. She's kinda glad a few people aren't here to make comments. All the same, she thrusts out a fist, firing off a solid blast of green fire to ignite the tar.

"How's that?"

[green-shield.livejournal.com]

"Looks good to me." She replies as she starts wrapping her ribs.
