Em didn't wait for a response, instead she psychically 'dragged' Argent from whatever shadow she was in over to where Saibot could see her. There was now a dusty twenty something and a shadow infront of the enraged Power Ranger.

-Avatar, I don't know what the FUCK you did... but he wants your blood.- She damn near 'screamed' at Alex.

She shook but her eyes flashed, she may not be big and extreamely powerful, but she could do some damage, on a more intimate level. She kept a light stand in Argent's mind and threw a powerful psychic pulse at Saibot to get his attention.

"You know it wouldn't take anything for me to make her forget your name.... and anything that went with it....." She yelled out loud and waited for his next move. She shook as her arm continued to bleed and she stared at Saibot.

"Ah shit... "Avatar said as he got the mental message from Em

"Saibot is apparantly out for my blood" avatar remarked to Blackheart as he girded himself for battle. Shaking his head the entire time.

"I really hope he doesnt do this often..."

Legacies watched as the shadow dragon rose into the air and as A.J. went towards it.

"Yes, indeed. We shall be there."

Legacies started off at a run, jumping into the air wing like protrusions grew from his back as he began to glide at a good thirty miles per hour before dropping the wings as a tendril launched out, grabbing onto a tall piece of protruding wreckage he pulled and was launched forward again, landing a few feet away from the others he fell into a crouched position. As Legacies slowly got to his feet the head of the silver figure glanced around at their surroundings.

"What has happened?"

"Blast... Cut the flow." Gravitas said, feeling the building collapse, and the movement of the other teammembers. It didn't seem.. Normal. Especially not the thread marked 'Argents'.

"Conserve what you've got.. I've got a really, really bad feeling."

Post by **Dark Silver** » Sat Jul 22, 2006 7:32 pm

When Em dragged Argent's body infront of him, Saibot growled low, threateningly. The ring pulsed brillantly in his rage, righteous fury built up in him, mounting ontop of whe murderous rage he felt from soaking up Argent's emotions, and the feeling of those deaths...

"Out of my way kid.....I only want CrocDoc...once I kill him, then it's over with."

Lei..., he looked to her wrapped in the dragon's shadowy cocoon. She was unconcious, he knew if something wasnt done, Em would remove the one thing of import in his life.

"Besides.....if you do anything to Argent....your little teleporting trick won't help you.....I'll rip you apart...bit by bit....until your nothing left...."

The life support field pulsed brighter, as it began to take shape, it grew and formed, until he was standing at the heart of a hard light construct, a ten meter high winged demon, horns rising upwards, toe claws digging into the ground, not a foot from Em and Argent.

The demonform got on it's hands and knees, leaned forward, and brought t's massive face to look straight into Em's own, the face was like that out of nightmares, and when it roared, the sound echoed throught he concrete valleys of the wasteland.

But it never moved to attack.

Something was roaring... something was too close, and roaring at her.

Shadows leap to life around Argent, snapping like whips out at whatever/whomever held her, reacting to an instinctual sense of danger at something too close. It was a reaction she'd learned sleeping on the streets of 'Frisco, and the shadow-whips had saved her and Ember more than once. Like a combat-ready soldier waking in a strange place, threats were neutralized before the mind came fully aware of what was around her.

The whips lashed around Em, pinning her arms to her sides and dragging her back a good ten feet. More tendrils started for Saibot, slapping at the demon-shaped lifefield. A flash of blue light banished them and brought Lei fully awake.

-anger-pain-
"Uuuuughh... Garth, Enough!" she moaned, one hand going to her aching head. Emotions looping... backlashing ... Emperor of Heaven how do I stop this?! Control ... control myself... control Saibot... --PAIN-- "Garth....! CALM DOWN!!"

"Conserve what you've got.. I've got a really, really bad feeling."

Blast cut the flow of power and the stream of energy died. What was going on now?

"There are some open electrical outlets... I could get more if you think we need it?" He asked concern in his voice, his mask however covered his face completely and shielded any facial expression.

SirNitram · Post by **SirNitram** » Sat Jul 22, 2006 7:52 pm

"Grab whatever you can." Gravitas said softly. "...And stay behind me. A building just collapsed near a few of ours, and I think.. Um.. Argent? Dragon-lady fell."

The elder of the two Metas turned his senses towards the conflict, trying to discern more information.

Blast turned to a nearby patch of exposed wiring. Amazingly to him power still flowed through it. Was this why the power bills were so high in the city?
He reached down and lightly touched the wires. He had a feeling that he didn't really need to but now wasn't the time to experiment.

He begin to draw, diverting the current of power away from whereever the wires were taking it into himself. He was in hurry so he pulled harder than ususal. He could almost feel it pour into his veins. It didn't take long for him to begin to feel that tingling, itchy feeling that signaled he was topped off.

Ryan heard the roar. His pistol was in his hand, his left pulling back the slide.

"What the fuck was that?"

Comrade Tortoise · Post by **Comrade Tortoise** » Sat Jul 22, 2006 9:03 pm

Avatar heard the horrible roaring sound.

"Blackheart, permission to investigate?"

Post by **Dark Silver** » Sat Jul 22, 2006 9:31 pm

Argent was awake, infront of him. Well, infront of the demon's head at anyrate.

Saibot watched, safe within the cocoon of the the demon construct.

"Enough!" she shouted again, even as the demon stared her down.

It was Argent...the rage was starting to slowly subside, but it still burned within him.

Argent was safe from Em...which means he wouldn't have to hurt the girl. He could go after Avatar....

The demon took to the air, hovering over the ground, then climbing higher. A moment later, the ten meter tall form appeared over one of the crumbling buildings.

Legacies spotted the creature as it reached the top of a building. Taking another flying leap Legacies landed directly infront of the towering demon, the old building's cieling cracking under the weight of Legacies' impact. Legacies looked up at the hard-light construct as it towered above him, he remained in his crouched position. The silver figure had not heard that Saibot was after Avatar, would he stop him anyway?

"What is happening Saibot?"

SirNitram · Post by **SirNitram** » Sat Jul 22, 2006 9:40 pm

"Saibot shouldn't be a glowing demon.. Something's gone bad." Gravitas grunted. "Get to the others. Be ready to nuke whatever the problem is." The Nova lifted himself from the ground, gliding up towards Saibot and Legacies. He had no clue what was going on, and concern painted his features. "What's going on? I could feel the violence."

Post by **Dark Silver** » Sat Jul 22, 2006 9:41 pm

Saibot, and the demon, looked down upon Legacies, the demon's mouth moving as Saibot spoke, "I'm going to kill Avatar...." he stated matter of factly, as the demon stepped over Legacies, tot he edge of the building, then hovered to the next roof.

"He murdered...killed...he must be stopped" his words were said with a dualtone with all the venom and hate behind them that Saibot currently felt.

Comrade Tortoise · Post by **Comrade Tortoise** » Sat Jul 22, 2006 9:45 pm

"Oh hell. This is not going to be good. Blackheart, I really do hope that he doesnt do this often"

Avatar cleared his mind. He had no defense against Saibot's attacks. The best he could do at this point was hope to outmaneuver him and maybe just maybe take him down. Preferably non-lethally but if he had to kill, he would not hesitate.

Charon · Post by **Charon** » Sat Jul 22, 2006 9:46 pm

The silver figure nodded slowly.

"Ah, that is a shame old friend."

A tendril lashed out and wrapped itself around the waist of the demon, bracing himself Legacies brought the demon around and threw him over his head, into the air and away from his target.

"We cannot allow that to happen."

frigidmagi · Post by **frigidmagi** » Sat Jul 22, 2006 9:47 pm

Blast ran towards Blackheart and the others. This was bad, this was very bad.

"I'm gonna have to shot him again." He muttered. This had to be the most dsyfunctional team ever.

SirNitram · Post by **SirNitram** » Sat Jul 22, 2006 9:49 pm

Gravitas was left to watch as Legacies chucked the hard-light armoured human skyward. "...Huh. I clearly missed something here." He said simply. "Hey. Leg. Want I should expose him to a few G's so he passes out?"

Agent Fisher · Post by **Agent Fisher** » Sat Jul 22, 2006 9:52 pm

Ryan shook his head. "Blackheart, what the hell did I do to get assigned to your team?"

Comrade Tortoise · Post by **Comrade Tortoise** » Sat Jul 22, 2006 9:52 pm

Avatar smiled, noting he should thank legacies later. Them he concentrated, and took most of the oxygen away from Saibot. There was enough pressure to prevent his eyes from popping out, but not enough to sustain life functions. Hopefully, he would pass out. If not, other measurs would need to be taken

LadyTevar · Post by **LadyTevar** » Sat Jul 22, 2006 9:55 pm

Dammit, dammit, dammit Argent watched Saibot fly off, feeling the hate/rage inside him. No... calm down... calm yourself, then you can calm him.. A deep breath. Another. In... out... Calm. Control.

She felt the emotional storm she'd accidently unleashed inside Saibot. It wasn't all her doing, she'd just amplified several of the nerves that Avatar had already set off earlier. She had to find a way to defuse those emotions... or to just teleport Saibot somewhere he could cool down.

Of course, she'd never tried to teleport him when the ring was powered up like that, and his ring seemed to banish any of her shadows. Would her shadow-self be able to envelope him for the teleport?

Don't think like that. Calm. Control. Suck the negative away. She'd started this, she would stop it.

Cynical Cat · Post by **Cynical Cat** » Sat Jul 22, 2006 11:22 pm

Avatar's sucking away the air trick wasn't going to be much use against Saibot's life support field. "Gravitas, by all means, pile on the Gs until he hugs ground." Hopefully that would stop Saibot without hurting him. "And Avatar, get behind cover and stop drawing attention to yourself." Blackheart rose into the air. "Saibot! Stand down!"

Comrade Tortoise · Post by **Comrade Tortoise** » Sat Jul 22, 2006 11:42 pm

He didnt need to be told twice

Avatar noted that his trick, his only really non lethal attack in non-aquatic environs was not functional.

So he ducked behind an abandoned building

SirNitram · Post by **SirNitram** » Sat Jul 22, 2006 11:56 pm

Gravitas sighed. "I hate having to use this on humans. Even ones with such power." He flexed a portion of himself that wasn't his body. Gravitational connections between the planet and Saibot began to pull, stronger and stronger. Whether it could overcome his flight was questionable, but Gravitas was just trying to make him black out for a few seconds...
