inside the force field

::Guardian glared at Shockwave. What was WRONG with this woman? true enough she was being far more proactive but she was also being unecessarily abrasive as well. perhaps it was her own way with dealing with the severity of tonight's trauma.::

In case you haven't noticed, Shockwave, those WINDS she's generating are sweeping CARS and chunks of the demolished buildings away as well. She's trying to send the super sentinel toward the atlantic and she's pusing her powers to their limit. if you want to go out there without anykind of protection and risk getting blown away yourself, then BY ALL MEANS GO FOR IT!

::Guardian was clearly weary...Sharon's death, the growing threat of Master Mold and the uncertainty of the group's well being...it was weighing heavilyon her. but she stopped herself from snapping any further. as she pulled in her frayed emotions...which normally she held in tight check. this also gave everyone in the group a chance to rest for a precious moment..and try to cope with the situation...so they wouldnt attack Master Mold blindly out of pure emotion. ::
 
>Master Mold continues to stomp forward before it's own cluster bomb was redirected back at it.

iminent danger. initiating booster rocket.

>jet propulsion power ignites from the bottom of its massive boots and lifts it up off the ground to avoid the impact of the bomb and falling into the crater. it lands and continue's its slow march forward. Spellbinder unleashes a terrifying wind attack, the winds sweeping away EVERYTHING not nailed down or protected as they whistle and howl...attempting to batter and bowl Master Mold over.

target Spellbinder attempting to attack using manifestation of wind power. winds estimated over 190 mph. initiating anchor.

>at ground level small holes around the lower ankle area of the boots open and vabranium steel cables shoot out and latch deeply into the ground around them, anchoring the super sentinel against the deadly winds. while this is happening, Frost activates her link with Foxfire and unleashes a large scale fire attack. attempting to combine with Spellbinder's wind storm as the flames lash at the body of the sentinel. The CHEST plate is their main target but it has since been restored and covered since the last battle betwen it and the women. the fire is ABSORBED and stored as an additional power source and now it will not be moved by the wind. HOWEVER there is now a small window of opportunity for the group to try a new plan of attack if they can think of it quickly enough.
 
Haleigh shrinks down, her arms over her head, as debri begins to fall. She rolls out of the way of a sizable corner of the building above, and returning to her feet, she is showered in sharded glass, which leaves many cuts and gashes on her exposed skin.... she stops to pull a thick shard of tinted glass out from between the bones of her forearm, and Guardian does her the favor of teleblinking her out of the way of the next wave of falling debri. Haleigh shuts the satellite off... she shouldve checked her aim the first time... and she mightve gotten somewhere. She could see their next attacks had to be right on in order to stick. After some slick manuevering, the Sentinel manages to survive the combined efforts of both Frost and Spellbinder... and Haleigh narrows her eyes... shes about sick of this clown having an answer for everything....

Haleigh decides that allowing Master Mold to stomp around like a two year old is no longer acceptable... and so, as he anchors himself to the ground, Haleigh plants an undetectable SEMI TRUCK sized plasma mine beneath his left boot... she manifests a comm earpiece is Spellbinder's ear and speaks decisively....

"Spellbinder.... relax your winds... if he wants take us on.... LET HIM COME!"

All Haleigh needed was for him to take his boot off the sensor... and if he didnt... she'd detonate it herself.... "Guardian.... warp the temporal field around him... see if you can cut his reaction time... if we DO manage to take off his leg... or even his foot, I'll stall his repair process as much I can.... Frost, once the fire breaks out, shoot some water into his 'wounds'... his motor control wiring will be exposed... and if that isnt enough, Shockwave can light into the SOB.... Morningstar, direct some high intensity light into his eyes.... doesnt have to be extremely powerful or damaging, just annoying... and Spell... just buzz around his head, get his attention with some eldritch blasts... distract this monumental prick. Does everyone copy?? This one's for Sharon!" Haleigh dealt instructions smoothly...a sign she had experience with it.... but would her plan work? She was working on the assumption that Mystech wouldn't waste money reinforcing the armor on the robot's legs or feet... as the chest and head would be the most important parts of the 'body' to protect, like a modern day soldiers, who wore chestplates and helmets.

<< outside in the midst of the terrible wind storm....Spellbinder's violet eyes twitch to the left ...at the feeling and sound of the com link ear piece. its Haleigh's voice....directing Morgan to pull back the winds..she hears the plans laid out. She knows that Haleigh isnt a slouch when it comes to battle tactics and she agrees with all her heart that they need to strike this super sentinel down...for sharon!>>

<< Morgan's heart pangs and she's momentarily distracted..until she sees a massive hand reaching for her through the swirling winds....>>>

THE SENTINEL!!

<< she gasps...as she immediately shoots up into the air dodging the sentinels initial pass for...calling on her airborne maneuverability. the wind storm begins to slack off until only a steady breeze remains in the area. Spellbinder is now at extremely high altitudes...as she streaks around Master Mold's head in a fast, erratic circular pattern>>

allright Haleigh, Ill keep it busy as long as i can up here!


<< swooping around the head....she flies faster...leaving an image trial behind her>>
 
>Master Mold reaches for the sorceress intending to grab her and crush her in one stroke but she evades it. at the same time, the winds slow to a steady breeze. Master Mold's ankle anchors immediately retract as he raisess his boot up.

Target spellbinder attempting to confuse this unit with high speed weaving flight path about the cranial unit. locking on target with radar scope and preparing to unleashe repulsor blast from ocular sensor units (the eyes)



>the plasma detonator that Haleigh placed activates.....the ploy WORKED as Master Mold's leg is completely blown off at the knee cap leaving it woefully exposed. wiring and circuitry now exposed...and violent sparks emmiting from the damaged area.
 
::Guardian nods in agreement with Haleigh's plan...ready to strike in earnest at the super sentinel. as Spellbinder stops the wind attack and takes to flying about his cranial unit, the Sentinel focuses on HER. It is about to respond as it attempts to resume its march when Haleigh's trap detonates.....destroying its leg up to the knee cap.::


Haleigh's DONE IT. Master Mold is beginning to falter!

::Guardian drops her force field to allow everyone to go in their positions::

>Master Mold: imminent danger. unit has sustand massive damage to lower left extremity.....initiating....


:: Guardian gestures ala Piper Halliwell and begins to WARP and SLOW DOWN the temporal field ALL AROUND Master Mold. no matter how big he is...he is still functioning within the constraints of time and for a machine that is meticulous down to the second, this kind of attack can proove to be the most DIFFICULT to counter. there's an eerie warp sound in the air as the super sentinel's already deep and grim voice begins to warp and slow...sounding almost unintelligible as it's movements now become extremely slowed giving MorningStar, Shockwave and Frost the chance to carry out their part of the plan::

Guardian's force field offered a small reprieve for the team while Spellbinder assaulted Master Mold with hurricane like winds. The wind howled and screamed in the air as Jasmine's hair blew and whipped around harshly, even inside the safety of Alison's force field. She sat down trying to recuperate her energy sources. A small chill catching her from the erratic temperature changes she was suffering from.

"Copy."

She said to Black Widow with a nod. Climbing to her feet again, Jasmine was slow to get up though. Finally the force field was down as Jasmine rushed outward to spot the "wound" in Master Mold. Haleigh's plan of attack worked and Spell was distracting him long enough for Frost to target the wound.

Raising her arms, Jasmine felt sluggish this time. Blinking her blurry vision away she focused long enough to concentrate. A high powered water assault burst from both hands. The water gushing into the air for that foot. Splashing the circuits and other electrical wiring. It fuzzed and charged with electricity. A large explosion rocking where the "wound" had been with smoke filling the air.

Stumbling back Jasmine was woozy and wobbly now feeling faint. The mutant struggled to maintain herself. Raising her arms again she fired another awesome blast at Master Mold doubling her power source. Dropping her hands, Frost watched on to see if her attack succeeded.
 
:: Right as Frost unleashed her water attack, Alexis didn't waste time and took a step forward herself, lifting her hands to Master Mold's severed leg. Sending bursts of electricity--and intensifying the circuts within MM--the moment her attack hit Frost's, loud explosions could be heard coming from above. Sparks flew everywhere, lights began to flash around the street, and fires quickly began to break out. ::

:: Alexis continued her attack seeing Frost drop to the ground weakened. Lifting her other hand, Alexis began to drain the energy sources around the immediate area preventing MM from recharging. If they could get him weakened even just a bit, they had a good chance of defeating him. ::
 
>Master Mold began having trouble coping. The massive super sentinel was faltering as it's defense mechanisms delayed in their activation thanks to Guardian warping the temporal field around it. the sentinel suffered massive damage as Frost and Shockwave pushed the offensive front even further. Spellbinder unleashed a massive eldritch bolt to the temple of the cranial unit causing it to further falter and now teeter on the edge of losing balance.


Alarm! Alarm! unit suffering massive structural damage...........unable to properly compensate due to unanticipated....shift.

> it seemed that its defeat was close at hand.
 
:: Seeing MM start to sway, Alexis smiled as she stopped her offensive attack and decided to finally knock this fucker on his ass. ::

"Get back!"

:: Thrusting both hands to the street, the ground began to rumble and shake like a massive earthquake. Again, a wave of concrete appeared out of nowhere, heading straight for MM's stable leg. Finally, the shockwave slammed into MM's good leg with enough force to knock the Empire State Building down. ::
 
Slightly tired and a bit winded, Jasmine's eyes widened at Alexis' new offensive attack on Master Mold. Damn, that woman was pissed and for good reason - the team lost a valued friend and political supporter. Stepping up beside Alexis, Jasmine was just a few inches shorter of Shockwave.

Tingling her fingertips, Frost seemed to be manipulating another aspect but what? A devilish grin spreading on her smoke ridden face. Narrowing her eyes with the ground trembling under her black stiletto boots. Raising her hand into the air before retracting it fiercely. Man holes popped off the sewer systems. A rustling sound echoed before a gush of sewer water exploded into the air. Pointing her hand toward Master Mold, it was like the murky - filthy water came alive with Jasmine's command.

Waving her hands in a circular motion the water ascended only to slam into Master Mold's waist from behind. The impact collided with a loud clank as the water discolored Master Mold's armor.

"Now, whose the shit head."
 
Haleigh's heart gave a little jump... it seemed like her plan was working... the leg disentigrated up to the knee and provided just the exposure she was hoping for. Everyone filled their part of the deal, compounding attacks and assaulting the super sentinel on all fronts.

Victory, it seemed, was in their grasp.... but Haleigh felt reservations... She could sense that Master Mold was faltering, and near the end. Was Alison's vision going to come true? and had Haleigh PUT the doomed party into a vulnerable position? Haleigh suddenly realized that perhaps her on-the-fly directions hadn't been the best... she began second guessing her decisions... She had directed Alison to lower her shield, she had pushed Frost to exhaustion, and she had asked Spellbinder to be their decoy, flying high into thin air, where breathing would become difficult quickly... NO, damn it. The Plan is working... Frost will recover. Spellbinder can take care of herself. Alison can whip the shield back up in a heartbeat.... we're going to WIN this. We're all going to be FINE.... maybe Alison's vision WONT come true.... Sharon died... maybe we're only going to lose ONE friend tonight.

"Everyone gather together! We need to regroup!"

Haleigh began to search Master Mold's commanding computers.... it was down and weakened and focusing on recovering... so she kept her self below detection as she scoured through his mainframe.... looking for a 'self destruct' command.... she didnt know WHY she didnt think of it before. She tried to keep focus, and not even THINK about the one who was also supposed to perish tonight...
 
the bigger they are....

> Master Mold falters majorly as it is slammed from all sides. It's would be targets are fighting back in a major way and countering in round about ways. The stress becomes to much as the unthinkable happens. Master Mold loses it's center of gravity and begins to FALL.

Unit unable.....to compensate. Losing center of gravity....unable to lock on any specific target!

>However, as sparks fly and Master Mold falls, it reaches out for SPELLBINDER and CATCHES HER in a tight grip. unleashing stored up power from Frost's flame based attack in the form of focused electricity. Intending to FRY the sorceress. the shadow of the super sentinel looms for miles as it comes SMASHING down through abandonned buildings and hits the ground with a sky shattering BOOM rocking everything and everyone ONE to their knees. it is unclear where Spellbinder is just now. but the unit is now coming apart...sparks and electricity spraying out from points of weakness as it continues to try to repair itself.

>Black Widow FINALLY manages to find an auto destruct sequence and succeeds in activating it.
 
::Guardian gathers everyone together....::

There isnt much time!

SPELLBINER!!!


::Guardian frantically calls out..her voice betraying the fear that lurks in her marble hard heart::

WHERE is she!?


Spellbinder: Dont worry.... << spell touches Alison on her shoulder from behind>> I teleported away BEFORE Master Mold could try to electrocute me....I'm faster than he could ever hope to be!

Guardian: thank the goddess!!!!


:: with everyone now together, Guardian moves on with her last part of this plan::

Haleigh has activated the auto destruct sequence..now before Master Mold can COUNTER....I will accelerate the temporal field! BRACE YOURSELVES EVERYONE!

:: she gestures again ala piper haliwell and as an eerie sound is heard in the air...time speeds UP around the core of Master Mold's structure the auto destruct sequence COMPLETES and beams of white energy began to spill out from all over its body as it EXPLODES. Guardian immediately manifests her STRONGEST force field as the sound is deafening and the shockwave is deadly. even WITH Guardian's force field...the group cant HELP but feel a forcefull impact that would have KILLED any normal, unprotected human....the destruction is violent as it is massive....::


:: soon...it fades...with only thick swirling smoke, smoldering flames and fallen debris in the air all around them.......is it over? had they finally done it?::
 
With her attack a success, Jasmine's eyes grew heavy now. It felt as though the ground had been spinning before her. Nausea setting into her system like a flu. Raising a hand to her forehead she closed her eyes for a second. Her outfit dripped with sweat but goosebumps were worn along her skin.

Her body trembled on the exterior but she did manage to follow Haleigh's instructions. Walking closer to the group she used her remaining energy not to pass out. But even that was a task in itself. Her body was not inclined to such temperature elevation at a rapid succession. She prayed this was the final moment to destroy Master Mold.

Guardian's panic cry boosted a small ounce of energy into her body. Looking up to the skies she saw Master Mold fumble before his gigantic "body." Her mouth falling in a small gap at the sight of such a being towered over.

She was not prepared however for the enormous shockwave that slammed into the earth. Such velocity threw Frost violently backwards even with Guardian's forcefield. Rolling onto her side in a fetal position, Jasmine did not seem to get up or even move. Dirt, dried blood and other debris smeared along her icy beauty. Luckily the force field took the most extensive damage for the team.

Opening her eyes, Jasmine felt her eyes stinging from the dirt, smoke, and other factors. A small trail of blood worn at the edge of her mouth. She felt as though she collided with a tornado. Every bone in her body ached but just the thought of attempting to rise was too much. Laying her head back down she rolled onto her back with a painful expression. A hacking cough vibrating through her lungs.

Remembering Spellbinder, her eyes glanced around slowly to notice her sister. She felt relief to see Morgan alive and okay. But to her, it didn't feel like victory not by a long shot.
 
:: Watching with delight as Master Mold began to sway with even more violence, Alexis knew the end was near. Finally, the unthinkable happened, and Master Mold lost his balance and came falling toward the earth in a heap. Lifting her hands up defensively, Alexis created another energy barrier--around herself only--along with Guardian's force field. As MM's body slammed into the streets of New York, Alexis could see the devestation around her unfold, yet she remained safe within her own, and Guardian's protective fields. ::

:: Smoke and dust arose, and everything fell quiet. Lowering her hands, the blue energy bubble disipated around her as she glanced around. Seeing Jasmine afar weak and hurt, Alexis allowed her dark sapphire eyes to stay on the fallen woman for a few moments before looking away and not giving her a second thought. Shifting her glance to the others, Alexis spotted Haleigh, Alison, and Morgan instantly....Unsure if they were hurt or not, the blonde parted her lips, realizing she was the only one out of the group standing. Slowly striding forward, her healed boots crunched the glass and debris softly as she approached Alison. ::

"Hey. Wake up."

:: Lowering herself to Alison's level, Alexis rolled the woman over but lifted her eyes to see if Morgan and Haleigh were moving. ::
 
The tiny hairs on the back of her neck instantly became neck. She felt as though she were being surveyed or even observed. Her instincts proved to be correct with Shockwave staring at her. The two locked eyes both battle worn but Frost was not surprised to see Alexis refusing to assist her. Hey, its not like the mutant asked - God forbid she did. A roll of her eyes was directed at the former alcoholic. Grumbling under her breath she coughed more heavily. Her chest heaving with every small breath she managed. Slowly sitting up, the dust beginning to settle around them.

But as Frost got to her feet she turned and walked away from the team. She had it, what kind of bullshit was that? If she were in Alexis' place she would attempt to help despite the ill feelings. Hacking up some blood she turned and spat it out. A small splatter of blood contacted with the ground. Frost's direction was headed for the bus - for Alycia.

She had risked her life for these "people" and she couldn't even receive the slightest medical attention. Jasmine knew this wasn't her team, it was Blaze's and it always would be. The thick snow/ice was still surrounding around the large bus. Jasmine was able to walk through it but the others probably wouldn't be so lucky.

She disappeared inside the thick ice like she walked through a wall. Climbing inside the bus, Jasmine settled down onto one of the seats. Resting her eyes, she relaxed for a moment.

"Master Mold is down....looks like he's destroyed."

Turning around, Jasmine's tired sage green eyes focused on the lawyer. "How are you holding up?"
 
[ At Haleigh's instruction, MorningStar created a private light show for Master Mold. After all, that's what she did best. She then watched in awe as her companions displayed their awesome powers in dispatching their adversary.

She picked herself up after being violently thrown to the ground. She gazed down at her badly torn and dirty cocktail dress, her bruised and cut arms and legs. She looked around, slightly dazed, wondering if it could really be over.

She saw Alexis look over at Frost then walk away and Jasmines reaction to it. Despite her feelings about the mutant, her heart went out to her. She knew what Jasmine was feeling. ]
 
<< Falling to the ground and covering her face as the backlash shockwave swept across the area, Spellbinder wanted to simply let herself fall into unconsciousness. when the chaos settled...smoke, dust and debris filled the air...with the remnants of her winds helping to sweep it away. she was shaken and slowly sat up..coughing as she rubbed her forehead>>

wow.


<< she looked around. there seemed to be no SOUND or activity from the super sentinel>>

did we get it!?

<< she slowly struggled to her feet...looking over at each woman......as they all made their way to the bus to check on Alycia.>>

<< inside, she found Alycia who had been resting quietly...with a blank stare on her face. Sharon was covered up Alycia's coat and the ice around the bus kept things at a chilly temperature. Morgan whipped a fur cloak and wrapped it around Alycia just as Frost asked her how she was>>

let her be Frost. I dont think she's ready to talk right now. She's endured so much......and she's numb from pain.

<< Morgan looked over at Frost>>

you look exhausted. let me....help you.

<< and in an act that no one ever would have expected Morgan extended her hand and with a soft chime, she casts her restoration spell and heals Frost and restores her vitals....the spell soothes any pain and cools any stinging sensation as Frost begins to feel refreshed from the inside out>>

does anyone else need healing?? we have to prepare to leave before emergency crews arrive. MorningStar scrambled the cameras around here with her light so there will not be any official record of US having battled the super sentinel....but we will have to leave Alycia here with Sharon so that it appears THEY were casualties.

Is there anything else we can do?

<< Morgan couldnt look over toward Sharon....as her voice began to grow shakey>>
 
::Guardian cough as she slowly pushed herself up. Shockwave was looking over her with a curious glint. Clearly the meta human was manifesting a truly different aspect of her personality. Alison ALSO noticed the beautiful choker around Alexis' neck::

...........


::Guardian kept silent as they filed back onto the bus to recover for a moment before deciding the best exit strategy. she watched as Morgan healed Jasmine and looked around at everyone when Morgan asked if they needed healing. Alison was fine...physically at least....maybe a little tired but she felt she should just keep that to herself.::

:: she spoke when Morgan addressed the issue of leaving Alycia behind with Sharon::

Though i would rather take them BOTH with us...I agree with Morgan. We need to allow them to b e found by federal and state officials. Alycia will be the one who blows the lid off of Mystech with her eye witness account but she will not "remember" just WHO saved HER from the super sentinel's wrath. Haleigh can restore one of the area's survielance cameras just enough to provide more visual evidence of Master Mold's fatal attack on Sharon and it will become clear that this was an assassination. THIS will be the turning point against MysTech's reign of terror.....

We have to prepare to leave....Frost, youll need to remove the ice dome around this bus as well....

::but before Guardian could finish her sentence as well....an alarming sound could be heard JUST outside the bus......::
