Disruptions (bendytimed to before Brides of Set finale)
Chris' eyes opened sharply, the trance over her breaking. The people at large, and most of the honor guard, had had their resolve shaken by the outsiders' actions. The connection with the energy that fueled their civilization was disrupted. The stream of light cut off abruptly, and Chris sat up.

"...what?" She blinked, holding her head. The rattling of the jewlery that had been placed on her prompted her to open her eyes. "I... where am I? Who the hell... this... why am I tarted up like tribal fetish Barbie?!" She screamed, rolling off the altar, transforming back to her human form in her disorientation.

Elder Shadow lowered his head, sighing heavily and trying to regain the tribes' attention. "My people.. the ritual is lost, we cannot continue. The words of these humans should be heeded however, for the--"

There was a loud smack of wood against skull as Cracked Claw brought his staff against the back of Elder Shadow's head, the older male staggering to the ground.

Cracked Claw sneered as he grabbed Chris by the arm, lifting it over her head, while she was still weak from the energies being channeled through her. "Look at this! Look at her frail disgusting form! Her humanity is proof of her impurity! There can be no transformation through her! We must cleanse the humans from our mother!"

He pushes Chris down and waves a hand, the clouds and light swirling overhead, showing images of wars, pollution, and destruction of nature. "The humans are savages who can only burn and tear at the world! And now there are those amongst them with powers to destroy on their own!" He points at the X-Men.

"Elder Shadow has proven himself unfit to lead! As high invoker of the honor guard, I will now lead our people! My first act will be to claim this world for our own! No more retreating underground! No more controlling the number of our litters and our hunting! We can live freely!"

The cat people are scared. Many of them were uncertain about the transformation, and the words of the outsiders confused many of them further. Now Cracked Claw is speaking of a way for them to be safe. Who knows how many more humans there are like these ones? Their powers are terrifying. Cracked Claw is beginning to sway their will, or at least stop their resistance, if not garner their favor.

The sky begins to darken, and he turns on Chris, drawing a ceremonial dagger.

Lucas' mind is torn out of Chris' the second she awakens. His mutant power only affects sleeping minds. But dark magicks he can fight on their terms.

He stands up, raising a hand and invoking the spirits. His magic isn't the most potent on its own, but its bolstered by friendly spirits helping - and those here are old and primal. He can feel Earth Mother and Sky Father bolstering him. And when he speaks, his voice is like thunder, aided by his Father the Sky.

"STOP! I am Lucas Moonstar, and I speak to you now not as mutant or human, but as one of Earth Mother's chosen. I am shaman, I am sweet medicine, I am pure water. You are also people born of Earth Mother and Sky Father, old and primal... but you have walked away from their path."

He lifts a hand, straining to channel every nature spirit he can, calling a fog to fill much of the field, trying to slow the battles and perhaps give Chris a chance to escape.

"Cracked Claw most of all leads with fear, he leads with anger. Do not let that be your legacy... look at Sky Father - he darkens, he angers. Surely one among you hears the old words... and will challenge him now, and lead your people back to light."

Its a strain, but a single crack appears in the darkening skies, and a ray of light shines down just in front of Cracked Claw, for any of their champions to choose to step into.

No-one steps up into it, but a hammer comes flying up at the altar level, clocking Cracked Claw across the jaw.

He regains himself, snarling. "Who dares?! I am in control of this ritual!" His rage seems to have at least distracted him from Chris.

"I dare! And I don't care about all that big fancy talk, but the whole plan was not to hurt anyone! This is wrong! And you're stupid!" Torn Ear yells up at the other.

"How dare you mock me!" Cracked Claw begins taking a few stomping paces down the steps of the temple, leaving Chris exposed, as she tries to stagger away.

	"He does not mock you. Your darkness mocks the very spirits you claim you represent. And everyone is seeing it. He will not be the only one to understand, now that one person has stood up for what was right." The fog curls more around Chris, hiding her from Cracked Claw so someone can help her escape while the others fight on. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	...Well. That was certainly unexpected. Brave, Rachel had to admit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A hand is placed on Chris's arm. As Molly had sneaked onto the altar when Lucas was calling the fog. She placed a finger to her mouth, and tugged at her friend's arm, to lead her away to safety. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Chris nods and moves away with her. Soon enough, they're down the steps of the temple while the nutcase is still screaming back and forth with the other one. And then they're running for the exit like hell was at their heels. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Vines surge from the ground, grappling with Torn Ear, even as he swings wildly, trying to rip free.

Then Cracked Claw finally disperses the fog, staring back at the altar, only to find it empty.

"No! Not when we're this close!" His voice thunders again. "My people! Do not let her escape! Stop her advance and I can bring her back to the altar!" He stoops to Elder Shadow's body and grabs him by an ear. "I'll be borrowing your power, old fool, before I'm rightfully appointed your successor anyway."

His eyes flash as he prepares to bring the Chosen One to the altar, as those still scared enough to take the easier route he's suggesting move to intercept Chris and Molly.
