The End is Nigh! (Horsemen vs the White Knights and Iason)
"We interrupt this regularly scheduled program to bring you this breaking report. It seems like a giant, what can only be called a citadel, rose from the very ground itself and covered almost the entire area of Central Park just moments ago. The monstrosity seems to be composed completely out of stone and there are no discernible entrances. What appears to be people on flying robotic horses circle the citadel. Who built this and to what end has yet to be discovered."

Famine watched and waited on the highest battlement. The Dark Riders circled below and would intercept the first wave of resistance that would come. Lord Apocalypse had instructed them to be ready for action in response to the citadel being built.

The past week had been a busy one. Famine had been all around the world in the service of Lord Apocalypse. Water had flooded crops and farmland in various countries around the world. Major food supplies had been destroyed. Famine had done her job well.

	Pestilence too, had been quiet busy. Between building the citadel alongside the Dark Rider, she had spread all manner of metal contaminants across the globe, into the waters and into the grounds and even into the air in some places. She relished the chance to strike more directly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Death was more hands-on. She had killed... oh, yes, she had killed. She'd watched the blood run down the sharp shards of her body, and she'd laughed. And she wanted more. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Giovanna stares at the television and tells herself that it can't be what she's thinking. Robotic horses are some gimmick any two-bit 'supervillain' could pull. It doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean that Thralls of False God are here.

The False God's being anywhere near her was one of her penultimate Nightmare Scenarios.
His being anywhere near Andrew was one of the ultimate ones.

There is one person who has seen it coming. And he knows what still lies ahead.

After a few days since New York, Iason finally awakens from his catatonic state. As soon as he awakens, he calls into his Avengers communicator.

"Charlie Rogers, we must speak. And please contact Misha, I will need to speak with him as well."

As soon as that communication is finished, he reaches out for Rachel Grey's mind. For an Eternal, his telepathy is terrible, able only to initiate contact with other telepaths. Thankfully, she is one.

*Miss Grey, this is Iason of the Eternals and Avengers. I must speak with you as soon as possible. Can you bring Misha with you to Avengers Mansion? He should receive contact soon.*

He must gather the four, before all is lost.

	Good thing for Charlie, he can hear his communicator buzz over the television. "On it Iason," he replied into it before hopping off the sofa to go to the monitor room to get Xavier's on the horn. He asked the X-er currently on monitor duty if he could talk to Misha quickly as possible, and waited for him to respond. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rachel's telepathy (along with her telekinesis) had been growing by leaps and bounds since the nightmare that Lucas had helped her with. She wasnt' afraid of her powers anymore. The Phoenix eye-flare was proof enough of that. But the telepathic contact still surprised her. Me? she asked, surprised. Uh, okay. And I'll bring Misha too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He frowns, the visions growing stronger again. If he is there, bring Aaron as well. I'll explain when you get here. But hurry, we do not have much time left. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2010-03-11 01:06 am UTC (link)
	Iason rushes for the spire of the citadel, pouring on the speed and ignoring Apocalypse's fliers, zooming right past them. He trusts Rachel to TK the others in so they can engage the Horsemen right behind him. Even that fight isn't for him - he's following the path his vision showed him, and going straight for Apocalypse. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	A month ago, Rachel would have had trouble carrying both Charlie and Aaron in flight (would have had trouble flying period), but her acceptance of herself had helped tremendously, as had rigorous hours in the Danger Room. "Get ready, guys..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Charlie turned his to Rachel, and gave her a firm nod. "Ready as I'll ever be." He had a firm grip on his shield. He was going to get Toni back. Get back Toni, and those the X-Men that were kidnapped. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Aaron was at almost at a full charge and was as ready as he could be, though going up against Cait he was going to require every bit of power he had. Turning towards Rachel and Charlie he said, “Ready to go,” as he charged up his hands with electricity. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	He'll be there. "And what have we here?" comes the rumbling voice as Apocalypse shifts a little larger. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2010-03-11 08:05 pm UTC (link)
	He's in for the fight of his life, and he knows it. Having any chance of winning is going to require everything he has, including giving the tyrant no quarter. Without answering, he springs, lashing out with a series of lefts and rights, trying to drive Apocalypse back and keep him from turning any weapons he has built into the place on him.

	A huge, rather shield-like arm rises against the blows. Apocalypse takes a slight step back at first, but braces to press forward instead. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Famine vs Aaron _tsunami_ 2010-03-11 05:09 am UTC (link)
	Famine mounted her horse and took off. She circled the top of the citadel and stretched out with her powers. Manhattan was an island and that fact would serve Famine well. Water came up out of the East River and the Hudson, closing in from both east and west. Famine smiled and then sent the water toward a target. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Re: Famine vs Aaron _tsunami_ 2010-03-11 05:33 am UTC (link)
	The horse's systems started to go on the fritz and Famine jumped off of it. She started to fall toward the Earth but she was not concerned. Her form shifted as she fell and in a moment she was a cascade of pure water falling from the air. The water she was controlling continued on its course. It reached Aaron and two tendrils tried to wrap themselves around him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Famine vs Aaron aaronwyatt 2010-03-11 05:41 am UTC (link)
	Aaron glad he had taken out the horse but was now trapped in the tendrils of water something he would have liked to avoid since he had very few options to escape from that. While he would have prefer to wait till later to use this Aaron opts to try to blow the water off with an electrical burst. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Death rides her horse down towards one of the invaders, cackling as she rides. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Re: Death vs. Marvel Girl shattered 2010-03-11 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	She shatters like glass from the force... ...then reforms, glass shards poking out at lethal angles. She leads her horse towards Marvel Girl, then leaps off at her, hoping to grab hold with her sharpened hands and slash at her throat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pestilence has patience, ready and waiting for the attack on them, the chosen of Apocalypse, to begin. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Pestilence vs Charlie borntolead 2010-03-11 07:45 pm UTC (link)
	Damnit, he didn't want to have to fight Toni. But right now, fighting her was the only way to get her back. Charlie charged at Pestilence. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Pestilence vs Charlie toni_rhodes 2010-03-11 07:58 pm UTC (link)
	"You?" Pestilence laughed. "You don't even have any powers! What are you going to do?" She brought up a hand and the metal coating her body shifted and flexed, spikes flying forth at Charlie. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
