:: Harbinger's disdain for MorningStar did NOT wane even as she created the wormhole to jet them from where they were to the forest where the others were. But now was not the time....with so many wounded, and time for them to escape running out. Nicolas was badly hurt...dying....Ava was down, Morgan was down...it was like the night they were facing Master Mold AGAIN...were they really THIS unprepared, despite her visions? or was it just that the sentinels represented a foe that was a MATCH for the Six across the board?::

:: carrying Morgan through the wormhole, Harbinger looked at Haleigh, continuing to ignore Delilah even as she went to get Nicolas away from the battle. there were so many down...each of them now had someone to carry or watch out for::

The Silver Swan is facing the sentinels alone....I can't leave her...

:: the memories of Master Mold were clearly glaring in Alison's mind.::

You'll have to get the others to where Karen is...in the refuge near the house. its a face paces back behind us. I'm staying here, to help Sharon.
 
The Forest

<<Harbinger was prepared to give Spellbinder to BlackWidow and order them away from the battle, but as the Silver Swan called out for them to watch out...the Sentinel was now closing in on Nicolas, intending to finish him off and Delilah too.>>

Sentinel: Hostile Target reaquired. Threat level now minimal as target has sustained severe damage. Second target has been aquired, Trelevan, Delilah; Codename: MorningStar. Immediate termination only logical course of action.

Secondary threat: Davidoff, Haleigh; codename: Black Widow.

<< the sentinel takes a massive step, lifting its boot up and SLAMMING it down, creating a wave of force along the ground that slams into Haleigh and sends her and her charges away like bowling pins, INSURING that she cannot interfere the ground where the shockwave ran through is now broken and cracked, trees are smashed as well. the sentinel slightly turns and extends his arm, his massive palm now hovering over Morningstar and Rampage, casting a shadow of death as the energy powers up...and reaches FULL STRENGTH. when it hits them...their time to scream will be lost in their being VAPORIZED and the ground beneath them being scorched and concussed.>>

Targets ELIMINATED.
 
the forest

NO!

:: the sound of power chimes as the red garnett in the TIME STAFF begins to flare. temporal winds whisper hauntingly as they swirl around Harbinger.::

Chronal...TYPHOON!!

:: holding the staff, which is to Harbinger what the SOUL SWORD is to Spellbinder, the chaos witch conducts a symphony of a temporal vortex, reaching out in a way she could not WITHOUT the timestaff inspite of her already immense power.::

:: standing in the eye of the temporal typhoon, Harbinger turns without moving her body, and points ...her power races toward toward MorningStar and Rampage....on an intercept course with the massive blast from the sentinel...and at the last moment as it seems it will not reach and the sentinel's blast nearly encompasses the two mutants. ALL sound of the blast HALTS abruptly...as it is now FROZEN in time...mere INCHES from the top of MorningStar's head...the blast is SUSPENDED in motion.::

:: Harbinger continues to hold the time staff, the garnett glows.::

Hurry..

:: she says as she looks upon the mutant with disdain.::

don't just stand there you idiot! GET HIM OUT OF HERE!

Sentinel: ALARM! interference from new source. Identified as Marble, Alison; Codename: Harbinger. Immediate termination required.

:: The massive sentinel attempts to turn...but his ARM is apart of the massive temporal warp caused by Harbinger's move and it causes what could be considered "PAINFULL" feedback and interference in the sentinel as it attempts to move that arm. this gives delilah, nicolas, alycia, morgan, haleigh and ava the chance to get below ground with Karen and Mike::

:: alison joins sharon to finish off the sentinel::

we have to hurry..MORE are coming. we have to make our escape while we CAN.
 
in the forest

<< as Harbinger saved MorningStar and Rampage from destruction, it was hardly the end of the danger. the Sentinel had already radioed for more assistance which was arriving by air. they wouldnt stop. they would keep coming and each NEW arrival would be prepared to succeeded where the others failed.>>

<< the Sentinel struggled as its arm was firmly trapped in Harbinger's field of temporal manipulation, its massive energy blast suspended in time, but that didnt stop the REST of its body as it began to blast from its eyes with massive laser beams that cut through the ground as he attempted to destroy Harbinger and Silver Swan.>>

<< with it's other hand, it unleashed a CYCLONE force blast of wind upon Harbinger while attempting to to cut Silver Swan out of the air with its massive blasts from the eyes.>>

<< the time for escape was fast running out...>>
 
As Nicolas slumps back, he feels arms pick him up, and hand touch his face as he senses the air pressure change that comes with a force field.

Then. Silence for a moment that seems eternal before sound comes rushing back. He can hear Alison order someone to take him away. That had to be him.

(One advantage of owning the only penis is that he ALWAYS knew who they referred to when they said HIM.):raspberry

His eyes rolled back centered and his eyes opened as he and Delilah (?) stood beneath a massive blast of power that was temporally held at bay by Alison as the monster attempted to turn on her and Sharon.

He lifted his hand and the ground beneath all of the team save for Alison and Sharon was teleported around the Sentinel's primary sensor array, disorienting him temporarily and masking their escape. The Sentinels weren't the only ones learning, and the young telekinetic attacked their greatest weapon: information, as he moved the team forcefully through the bedrock, coming to rest in the chamber prepared for Karen Victoria.

As they came to rest, he lifted off of Delilah, determined to make it to his surrogate mother under his own power even as he began to fade a bit from exertion. He stepped towards Dr. Victoria and laid a hand on her shoulder as he stayed upright in spite of everything. His next statement, given his condition, was almost comical.

Ma...M-Morgan...Ava...need your h-help.
 
They came through the wormhole into a setting as chaotic as the one they left behind. Alison is carrying Morgan, Haleigh is carrying Ava, and Delilah rushes to Nicolas' side. Tired, injured, burdened or worried sick, there is a single one amongst them that is prepared to put up a real fight. Alison needs to give Sharon a helping hand, and Haleigh doesn't have enough arms to cradle the ones hurt and incapacitated... and more than that, SHE herself wants to fight with Alison and Sharon.... as short as a few months ago, Haleigh would have been upset... she'd have felt she'd been stuck with field-medic duty and as much as she cared for those hurt, she would still have thought she had gotten shanked out of the action.... but that seemed like a lifetime ago.

She manifested a metal framed stretcher for Alison to lay Morgan on, and one for Ava, then kept them both afloat and brought them along with her in retreat for the place Alison had aforementioned. She could hear a sentinel identify her.... and at first she just tossed a glance back to make sure it hadn't thrown something at her.... but then what it said registered in her mind.

"SECONDARY threat? SECONDARY?! OH HELL NO!"

She exclaimed. The sentinel gave a mighty stomp, and Haleigh quickly drew Morgan and her sister in as close as she could, keeping them well off the ground and away from the brunt of the ground based shockwave, and encasing them in metal shrouds to protect them from debris. Haleigh herself is knocked off her feet by the force and sent flying into a small nearby tree so violently that the tree snaps in half and Haleigh crumples to the ground.

"nnnnnhhhhhg.....now I know what my iPod feels like when I drop it."

She groans, as she tenderly picks herself up. She looks up... Morgan and Ava are still floating there, like two eerie metal tombs, and Haleigh sends them quickly [but carefully] flying towards the place of refuge as she gets to her feet. Alison deftly takes care of the Sentinel at hand.... but more are appearing, soaring over head and then honing in on them, before diving down like hawks on their prey. Haleigh clenches her jaw.

"I got your SECONDARY threat RIGHT HERE, bitches."

There are four sentinels currently descending on them.... Alison, Sharon, and Delilah with Nicolas are scurrying for safety. Haleigh closes her eyes and bows her head, bringing her arms into her and making and cross with them over her chest... for a second, nothing happens.... then she gives a single shudder and emits a shock wave of her own... but this one spreads throughout the space around her like a massive dome... it looks like a ripple of dull red light, and as it encompasses the sentinels over head, they immediately SHUT OFF and fall towards the earth by way of dead weight. Haleigh looks up at her teammates.

"Harbinger, Silver Swan! MOVE YOUR ASSES! The ones that survive the fall will reboot in mere seconds!"

Morgan and Ava are already tucked away safely, and Nicolas and Delilah make it there as well. Haleigh breaks out in a dead sprint, narrowly avoiding the raining sentinels, but making it to safety relatively unscathed. Haleigh peels back the metal shrouds from Ava and Morgan and proceeds to crudely update Karen on their condition.

"Morgan got death ray zapped, Ava got plasma blasted. [upon seeing Nicolas] Christ ALMIGHTY, Nicolas!" She exclaimed, rushing to help steady him. "Did you throw yourself under a train?! [taking his hand in hers] Alright, you're alright..... you'll be fine. Hang in there.... you'd better hang the fuck on... you and I are gonna have a little chat about your big ole blabbermouth..... [to Karen, quietly but urgently] Him FIRST. The other two are knocked out but since the weren't immediately obliterated.... they've got time. He's not gonna survive this for much longer."

She says, glancing at her watch. She's giving Alison and Sharon about 45 seconds to show up before she goes back out after them.

for her part

[ the casualties arrived along with the others. Sharon was taken aback to see Spellbinder down...AGAIN at the hands of a Sentinel. it only added to the growing anxiety she felt, but at the same time, it only made her want to bring down the Sentinels even MORE. she had POWER now...she would NOT have to "run" as she was told the night Master Mold came.]

[ everything happened SO FAST and so HARRIED...MorningStar and Rampage were about to be destroyed, similar to the way Sharon had died. she cries out just as Harbinger STOPS the blast completely. as the Sentinel now struggles and turns it's weapons against her and Harbinger, SHE takes to the air.]

[ Harbinger anchors herself against the cyclone winds with her telekinetic power but against winds such as this...NO ONE can stand for long.]

laser blasts....

[ Sharon narrows her silver eyes as she engages in evasive maneuvers, flying, swooping, dodging the blasts with deft aerial skill. and this was without the use of her wings.]

i'm NOT the weakling i was the LAST time you monsters reared your heads!

[ she yelled as the Sentinel began to modify its firing pattern against her, forcing her to fly faster, move tighter.]

I've got POWER...I'm the SILVER SWAN and you'll never hurt ME again!

[ as she began to fly around its head so fast she blurred to the vision of others...she prevented it from locking on her long enough to now hover on the side of the head...and then, she unleashes the FULL POWER of her SONIC SCREAM.]

[ the scream...a terrifying mix of roaring jet engines, the din of a tornado, a woman's strong scream...FILLS the air. the full force of the power causes ripples in the air and trees began to shake themselves bare of leaves. were she any closer to the ground it would cause cause massive tremors or worse. ]

[ she continues to scream and the sentinel's head begans to vibrate...smoke coming from the neck area as the head now vibrates so hard it BLURS. its eyes EXPLODE as an alarm sounds off and finally the HEAD explodes VIOLENTLY with a blast that can be seen high above for miles around. Silver Swan destroyed the sentinel utterly...flying out of the way as its body begins to fall back, fire, smoke and sparkes now spitting out of its exposed neck area.]
 
Run for your lives

<< Silver Swan's violent destruction of the final sentinel of the original group sent after her was a moment that could hardly be savored as the shadows and din of boot jets in the sky indicated MORE...MANY MORE.>>

<< Black Widow, recovering from the force of the sentinel's attempt to crush her, was thoroughly insulted that the Sentinels didnt regard her as highly as the ones in New York, responded with a clever and much NEEDED proactive move against the oncoming army of sentinels.>>

<< she manages to SHUT DOWN several of them, reaching into the systems not already adapted to her powers. its a surprising moment as massive sentinels begin to drop out of the sky, but it also causes damage to the area around them, trees, land, even some animals unfortunately are lost in the chaos. the crashing sentinels caused numerous shockwaves and made it hard for the functioning members of the six to make tracks as Haleigh hollered for Alison and Sharon to haul ass.>>

<< but they ran, flew, whatever it took for as the SURVIVING sentinels landed, they began to come together, forming a massive Tri Sentinel a mammoth super sentinel on par with MASTER MOLD that possessed a "three in one" quality as well as a three faced/sided head, massive body and six arms.>>

<< as Haleigh, Alison, Sharon and Delilah got their wounded under ground, Haleigh immediately called upon Karen to help Nicolas who was the closest to death.>>

<< it was a horrible sight to see him in, but even as Sharon sealed the entrance behind them, they were STILL not safe!>>
 
below ground

:: as Haleigh laid Nicolas down for Karen to administer aid to, Alison stood with Sharon near the entrance.::

we dont have time...we have to get out of here...it can FIND us where we are now...

the sentinels have come together to form the super massive TRI SENTINEL, its the LATEST step in their adapting/evolving process, tripple the computing/analytical power, tripple the fire power ...everything is enhanced....it will SCOUR the land with a variety of energy blasts to destroy us...and ANYTHING in its way!

:: the rumbling could be felt even where THEY were below ground.::
 
the end

<< the Tri Sentinel is now COMPLETELY online and fully functional, calculating far faster than any singular sentinel (with the exception of Master Mold). its massive stature can be seen for MILES in an direction as its six arms move in perfect synch.>>

Tri Sentinel: multiple target dna signatures registering, several meters below ground. this area is deemed a "safe house" for the renegade , "Silver Swan" and "The Six"...solution, broad scale decimation of area that reaches below ground. Two humans register including Barnett, Alycia Data indicates she is to be treated as hostile criminal, major security risk and dealt with accordingly.

<< the tri sentinel is capable of any number of battle macros , channeling various forms of energy and a strength level far beyond what Nicolas could manage as a mortal. it is immediately prepared for nearly any possible defense capable by the functioning members of the six.>>>

<< and in a few moments, the entire area is ROCKED as a powerfull white hot blast of energy and radiation TEARS across the expanse, destroy trees, flora, ANYTHING in its path...the ground is TORN part and anything beneath that is exposed is VAPORIZED. the wave of energy charges for where the Six are....and REACHES THEM.>>
 
As Alison warns of the impending doom from the Tri-Sentinel, Nicolas looks at Delilah and "gives" her the coordinates to the island he has set up. The roar of the energy from the robot is getting louder as he sends her a last message.

D, you know what to do...
 
Just when all seemed to be lost, a location "popped" into MorningStar's mind. The Six would find themselves enveloped in green light, and transported from the danger that was knocking on the door to their hiding place. Delilah didn't have time to see if everyone was alright, she could only hope and wait.
 
The end

<< the worm hole is opened and fueled by MorningStar's own fear and DESPERATION for escape, the team and their allies are shunted away just as DEATH rains down upon them, OBLITERATING anything connected to the six, including the new home for Silver Swan. the land, the forest, many animals, and men were all destroyed....was it worth this carnage just to stop 6 people who had saved the world many times over? hatred and bigotry are things that can never be rationalized and in this final moment....it appeared that the Sentinels had achieved the goal of those that would see these mutants and metahuman's dead.>>


TriSentinel: multiple scans indicate no remainder of "the Six", Silver Swan, Karen Victoria or Alycia Barnett. All targets were aquired and destroyed. Mission complete....damage to surrounding area acceptable loss.

<< the area cracked and scoured...a crater where the six once hid, with residual traces of their dna...it seemed all was lost and reports of their deaths began to be broadcast to government officials and the media. the shocking story of Sharon Kelly's apparent resurrection and transformation into a mutate, the revelation that Dr. Karen Victoria was in fact a witch and that Alycia Barnett had been complicit to the activity of these mutants and metahumans...it was the stuff that "investigative journalism" was MADE for....but somehow in the midst of all this...what was also LOST was that these were PEOPLE who had risked their LIVES to save this world many times over.>>

<< their lives....all obliterated the MOMENT that Bishop's little "package" reached the hands and eyes of "the right people". would it have gone this way had Delilah not attempted to shield him from The Six? Could her actions have made a difference in the course of events? Would she regret her descision to choose HIM over her family?>>

<< while one major door closed for the six, another one was about to open.>>

<< and as death and destruction combined in one white hot flash...soon there was SILENCE and CALM. Delilah's wormhole took them away...but NOT where she expected.>>

<< someone else had other ideas...>>
