font face="times new roman""I'm sorry Stormy," I heard a voice whisper behind me and when I turned around a saw a number of playing cards coming towards me. They were full of kinetic energy; explosive kinetic energy. When they made impact with Storm's body and my fiery form, I couldn't even feel it.

I yelled at Gambit who threw the card at me, "You foolish mu... ah!" Storm's body was wrapped around by a suffocating amount of extra skin, coming from mutant designant Angelo Espinosa also called Skin. It was suffocating the air around us, and if Storm's mind was left unconscious then I would not have priviledge to use her body.

As the fiery bird of my form began to rise he unwrapped his skin and from behind me came a blast of energy, hitting me in the back. I was becoming dizzy and these constant attacks from every direction made me unstable. I turned around to see the little child shooting up with me. Her shades hung down over her eyes. "Stupid child!" I raised Storm's hand up, preparing to make an attack, but before I could, my back was jumped upon and kicked by somebody with enormous weight.

"Henry McCoy, how dare you?" I yelled with much authority and showing how much I was being irritated. I was beginning to feel the emotion of uncontrollable anger. The one you felt when you just didn't care what you did. Just wanted to go crazy on someone. The very attack I had prepared to lay upon Jubilee's unprepared soul, I used on Beast. He decided to kick this fire bird in the back at the wrong time.

I used my unmeasurable cosmic abilities yet again to pull from Ororo her great power. I could feel it flow through my mind. The very essence of nature inside of me.

font face="times new roman"I raised Ororo's hand and I could feel the power surging through her arm. But even doing the attack was a struggle. Ororo was holding back and her mind was becoming stronger. More dominant. I didn't know how or why, but I knew I was going to get rid of Beast. "Storm, no!" Jubilee yelled from behind.

I thought to myself while I prepared the assailment. The other X-Men were standing around scared, unable to even move closer to me, knowing and remembering what I had done to Xavier. How I had electrified him through his eyes and had felt no anguish afterwards. They were in constant fear. I could feel it. Especially Ororo's greatest love at the time, Wolverine. I was feeding mainly off of her love uand/u hate for him.

I hovered high in the air, Storm's left palm pointing straight at Beast and her right hand stretched at Jubilee. Ororo's hands began to emit a blue tinted energy that began to pierce the muggy air with it's cold temperature. At first it moved slow, but then, in both directions it picked up speed. First, it hit who was closer, Beast.

You could see the steps the ice took to cover his entire body. The very impact of the icy energy sent him flying through the air, through a number of trees. He yelled loudly and it could be heard while the echoes traveled through the uneven air currents. The ice pierced through his blue fur and his already blue and cold eyes became lifeless as the ice covered his body. Penetrating through his outer body the ice began to freeze his internal organs. But it didn't happen in a long and set amount of time. It was like a flash of lightning. And next, the other ice-filled attack was flowing towards young Jubilation.

font face="times new roman"The ice ripped through the air without hesitation. Biting the warm air with it's unmeasurable cold. I blinked for a minor second, and when I opened my eyes Jubilee wasn't there. The tree that she stood against was ice covered, frozen. "You are only delaying your destiny X-Men! Pheonix will destroy you all!" I yelled at them. I said that only because I sensed Jubilee still alive, and untouched by the attack. From the power strings around me I made the hypothesis that Jean used her telekinetic abilites to move Jubilee in time from my attack. But now they remained out of my view. I saw not one of them, except for the frozen dead body of Henry McCoy and the recently destroyed bodies of Kurt, Kitty, and Bobby.

Ororo's heart of compassion made it hard for me to keep attacking, but my hunger was greater than her love. It would always be greater than her love. These humans were exceptional beings. Very powerful and determined. But they did not stand a chance against I. The power, my power, was too great to be challenged. Then from behind me I felt cold hands, making contact with my neck. A little tinkle rode down Ororo's spine. I could feel it through her. Quickly using Ororo's own common sense, I knew it was Rogue. Trying to absorb my powers. "Fool!" I yelled as my fires went through her hands, surrounding her body, burning through her. I watched as she fell down below Storm's body, and only by an inch of luck was caught by Gambit. Her body smoked once the fires extinguished.

As I prepared an attack to finish both Gambit and Rogue at the same time I could feel two more presences in my mind. And they were not Storm, for she was already there, fighting against me to regain control of her body. Now the battle was not outside but inside. Inside of my mind, that is. I could see Storm, coming towards me. Anger and rage in her eyes and her body surrounded with an aura of lightning. She was becoming bigger and more powerful. It was signifying her mind becoming strengthened. Becoming stronger than I. "No! I won't allow it! This body is mine!"

font face="times new roman""This body is not yours Pheonix! And it will never be!" It was the striking voice of Jean Grey. She was one of the presences that I felt in my mind. Trying to help Storm overcome me. I felt continual telepathic breakers hitting my mind, binding my mind up.

"I am too powerful! You cannot hold me down! I won't allow it," I yelled as she continued to strike at me, "You're in my mind. I control everything that happens here!" The ground below Jean's feet began to break up as fires roared from below them. "I won't let you bind me! I am the Dark Phoenix!"

"You are destroyed creature!" the voice of Psylocke commanded. She attacked my mind, giving me continual hypnosis followed by psychic knives stabbing at me. And all the while I could see Storm rising from inside of me. Becoming stronger.

I was the most powerful being alive, being defeated by these Earthlings. But I knew it would not last. It could not last. "I will destroy you all!" I yelled as the flames of my mind fired out at Psylocke and Jean.

"At this moment, you will not… I will not allow it!"

"What? NO!"

"I am Storm! Mistress of the elements… commander of the clouds… and I will not allow it!"

font face="times new roman""Aaaaah!" I could feel my mind becoming weaker inside of hers. Loosing all control of her body and her powers. "So much I haven't tasted yet. So many sensations… emotions…" I could feel my voice die down as Storm became yet again stronger than I. I was trapped inside a box hidden in the corner of her mind. Contained with both her own mind's strength and the constant powers of Psylocke and Jean renewing it. But I would not stay for long.
