Displacement Ch. 4: Rescue - by Taima
Marie was only able to watch everything happening. She felt so helpless, this was all her fault and now innocent people were going to get hurt because of her. Sakura was walking on a cloud of mist again, this time pulling Marie along with her.
"Mother, what will it be? Another repeat of what happened last time?" Sakura grinned, this was fun. She could see the pained look on her mother's face and the vines were still rapidly growing and trying to reach her body.
Taima's eyes narrowed, she signalled someone that Sakura couldn't see. The wind picked up and the water pillar was engulfed in the winds.
A sweat broke out over Sakura's body, she felt the stress on the water pillar she controled like it was her own body. She had the choice now to drop the pillar or burn out. "That's cheating! Where is Miss Monroe?" Sakura's eyes scanned the water's edge for where Storm could be, she spotted the woman far back behind the treeline.
Sakura released her control over the water and it spun around in the tornado forming a water spout. She looked back towards her mother and Logan, still walking backwards and away from solid ground... she was over the water now. "You do realise that if you do anything to me, Marie is going to hit this water hard?"
"Kid, stop talkin' and just hand her over. We're not in the mood to play." Logan growled at Sakura, still advancing towards her, now moving on the vines as they grew and expanded over the water.
"That's cold Logan. I thought we were closer than that." Sakura frowned a bit but shrugged as a ball of water formed out of the mist around her and propelled itself at Logan. "Just like old times, right dad?"
Logan ducked the water ball and it hit a tree near Taima hard, the trunk snapped in half and threaten to fall backwards onto Storm and Nightcrawler where they waited.
Taima saw the tree fall and lifted her left hand up, a growth appeared where the trunk had broken and rapidly reknit itself, pulling the tree back together and upright once more. Taima was sweating now, this was a bit of a strain on her system and there was no sunlight to help things get better.
Logan progressed forward towards Sakura again, the vines still continued to be stable bridge for him to walk on. Sakura laughed a bit, she was enjoying this. "Poor poor Tammy, having a hard time? If you're starting to wilt maybe you need some water."
Taima's eyes widened, she knew what was coming and she quickly spoke into her headset, "Do it when she hits me!" There was a quick reply as Taima felt herself get bodyslammed back into the ground by a 100 lbs ball of water. The vine bridge she had been making for Logan started to retreat back into the ground where they had been rooted, and he jumped at Sakura with his claws extended....
Everything happened so quickly, Marie had a hard time following what was happening and she felt the pressure on her body fade and she was falling down into the onslaught of the Falls.. and then she smelled sulpher and brimstone and felt a warmth envelop her and she was no longer at the Falls any more.
At the Falls, Sakura felt Wolverine's claws go deep into her chest and she was gasping for air. She could no longer focus on anything except the pain that was ripping through her body and they both fell down towards the Falls. "Just like old times daddy.."
Logan frowned as he retreated his claws and pushed himself away from Sakura. He felt himself get lifted up by a strong wind and he was on solid ground once more.
Taima just laid on the ground, her eyes open as she stared up at the slowly dissipating clouds in the sky. "No..now it's sunny." The vine tattoo had disappeared from her cheek and she just... hurt. She saw the concerned faces of Ororo and Logan appear in her limited field of vision.
"Taima, Marie's safe and Sakura is out of commission for now. You're going to be okay... we'll get you home and fixed up." Ororo's voice was soft and reassuring as Logan knelt down and gently picked Taima up.
"You'll be okay Tammy." Logan voice was soft as well, and Taima smiled weakly, he was her strength. "You can sleep for now.. it's gonna be okay."
Taima just nodded and closed her eyes, she let sleep claim her as she was hurriedly carried back to the car and rushed home. Her thoughts were on Marie and Sakura, now that Sakura had been humilated she would stop at nothing until she had taken Marie away.
