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.

Caleb sees it too, and fears that Corrine might do something … rash. Rash, and stupid, given her present condition.

Caleb readies himself, and sure as clockwork, Corrine decides to be rash and stupid.
Knowing that one good shot might be enough to destabilize the remaining magic enough that she won’t come back from her next blink, Caleb decides against magically restraining Corrine, and instead opts for a his best physical block.

“No! Corrine, Stop!”

Here’s to hoping that her blinking doesn’t complicate this…

With the steady speed the blinking has reached now, the block connects long enough to succeed to its intention. Corrine almost loses her balance, but takes a few fumbled steps backwards before reasserting her footing.

She doesn't even speak. A hand lashes out, and its message is clear: Get the fuck out of the way.

As the sand settles to the ground, Magique allows herself a smirk. She drops straight down, and the column of fire shoots above her.

She lands on the ground. <font color="006600" Care to be next?

Suddenly, Magique feels the ground tremble around her?

Dead? Hell, no. He's merged with the earth before, he knew exactly what to do.

He engulfs Magique in the earth...which suddenly shifts into the form of a hand.

He then rises out of the earth, much like Tefe - all silicoid power and anger. And taller than he's ever been in this form. The magic found in this earth is fueling him as well.

Standing 25 feet tall, he simply stares at Magique. Then, before she can do anything else, he throws her in the general direction of Metropolis, arcing over the grounds until she's out of sight.

He then shrinks down to human size, then reforms. "That won't hold her long."

Trevor brushes himself off as he steps out of the crater he just made, and takes a moment to raise his eyebrows at the destruction.

"Any chance we can end this before they get back? I doubt they'll stick around if the fight's already over."

"Once Chimp gets the ingredient into the potion, we only need to keep them off of her for another five minutes or so. Once she's healed, I'm more than happy to book a retreat at this point."

He eyes Tara over in the corner. "Come on, you need a field medic right now."

Trevor shakes his head, holding his shirt down to cover the mangled bandages and trying not to limp. "All I need is a beer, a cigarette, and five minutes without any attempts on my life. Barring that, someone to hit will do. Plus I don't think we have the manpower for me to take a break."

"It's not a break, it's keeping your insides inside of you." Sand said. "No one dies today. No one. Now go, I guarantee there'll be something or someone for you to burn when Tara's done with you."

Trevor grimaces. He's not happy about stopping when others are fighting, but it's Sand's plan, so it's Sand's call.

"Just save me a few." Trevor says as he heads over to Tara.

She realizes she's still holding her breath even some seconds after Sand's reappearance. She does lose her footing this time and collapses back onto the floor.

Damnit. That Chimp better get up here fast. If she can help it, there will be no more scares like that today.
