The fight with the Hulk was over, but a bigger threat now loomed. Apocalypse had risen and once again threatened the world. He closed in on New York. It would be his capital in the world he would shape.

They had won... but at a cost. Sarah was bruised, battered, and more than a little broken, keeping her left arm together by securing it to the shield. Her ribs are taped up again, and she's flying so she doesn't need to put any weight on her legs - but she's moving, the Hulk isn't.

"Alright, the Talus tells me we're close... but folks... its insisting... we need to kill Caesar to leave. Apocalypse needs to be done here. Anyone who isn't ok with that... can bow out now."

Once upon a time, she would have balked. But as her father understood with the Nazis in wartime, some things have to be done - Exiles road has had that effect on her idealism.

"If that is needed for us to move on...then it must be done." Dane says, rolling his neck. He's a bit beaten up himself, but not nearly as badly as Sarah. He almost wants to suggest she let the rest of them handle this, but he knows she won't go for that.

If the roles were reversed, he'd want to see the mission through as well.

"Are we certain he /can/ be killed?" Dane asks.

"That's why we're here - the Tallus says this is a unique opportunity. He's weak, not fully recovered. If he's killed now, in some way that will actually affect Apocalypse, he can die. And if we weren't here, the X-Men.... wouldn't do it, apparently. They'd die trying to save their friends and find another way."

Which sounds familiar. Sometimes, though, like with the vampire queen... there's just no choice.

She misses idealism sometimes.

	Gwenny nods emphatically. "Then we do whatever it takes." Pause. "I think Mr. Kev's... really worried about his sister," though. And indeed, Kev is fretting wild-eyed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We do what it takes," Dorrek echoes Gwenny with an exhausted nod. On one hand, he's better off than Sarah because of his healing factor. On the other hand, fighting the Hulk isn't just something anyone shrugs off. He wants to lie down and sleep for a month. But that's not an option. "You need to bow out, Kev?"

	Natasha knew her suit was borderline, but this was for the whole ballgame. She unleashed a uni-beam blast at Apocalypse. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dane moves assumes crowd-control duty, knowing that Sarah and Tasha are battered and doing everything they can just to help out right now. He'd rather not see either woman get hurt, so he's doing the knightly thing and watching their backs. He'll move into close-combat with any of Apocalypse's minions that are looking for a free attack on his teammates. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rahne hadn't been far and when the fighting started it got her attention. Growling and drooling, she went after the closest person. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Rahne hit the shield and tried to claw at him around it. Her teeth snapped at him and it was apparent she didn't hear him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dane stabs low at her leg and thigh, trying to make the idea of attacking him seem less appealing even as he tries not to hurt her too much for Kevin's sake. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The tip of the sword cut into Rahne's leg and she howled in pain. Instead of it making her back off a bit, she attacked even more savagely than before. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Gwenny was trying her best to deal with the controlled people and also with the destruction being wrought by Apocalypse's fight with Sarah. It wasn't going well. (Reply to this)

	This would be about the time Dorrek is further distracted, as nightmare figures from his memories and dreams take shape around him, Dani's power boosted by Apocalypse and her link with Rahne. The monsters of his dreams attack immediately. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ah, wonderful! Dani latches onto that image, and the Human Torch grows more 'real', and more demonic, drawn from the deeper childhood hightmares as she assault Dory with his own mind. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dorrek swears in Skrullos, backing away from the flames as he tries to grow himself a layer of the Thing-like protection. He has to be smart about this, he has to be if he wants to have any chance of surviving. After a few panicked seconds, Dorrek reabsorbs the stony protection and replaces it with a pair of wings, flapping hard to get altitude. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
