PART 3:
Sitting atop the roof Nightcrawler's yellow eyes scanned the yard. Supposedly this woman could move as fast as Northstar. For that reason alone Kurt was glad Jean-Paul was on his team. The silver haired mutant was below Kurt watching with an intensity Kurt truly could relate too. Jean knew when it was time for work.
Straight out from Kurt's position atop the roof of the mansion Spike stood along one of the trees nearly invisible in the dark wearing his black duster. Juggernaut on the other hand was impossible to miss. The ten foot tall behemoth stood in the central courtyard near the fountain very obvious for all to see.
Willow and the still weak Tara were actually resting on the porch. The two had drawn a pentagram and were holding each other by the wrists casting quietly in Latin. It wasn't a new experience for Kurt as he had nearly married a witch but it was unsettling all the same. Kurt wished that things like this didn't happen. A child never deserved to be hunted by anyone.
Kurt's tail twitched and he leaned forward eyes noticing a small movement by the trees near Spike's location. His mouth formed an oval ready to speak when he saw Spike's face go taught and his skin form dust. He knew what had happened the vampire had been dusted, that meant Glory.
Just as that thought finished the blonde goddess stood her fist through the area that had been Spike's chest. She smiled and zipped sideways towards the mansion, "Northstar!" Kurt yelled at the top of his lungs.
Jean-Paul was already on the move. A silver blur met Glory's steps and sent the reddish blonde flying through the air. Northstar came to a stop in front of Glory his hands on his hips in the silver light of the night, "Fast, but not fast enough."
Glory smiled, "I will tear you apart mortal." The hell goddess stood in a flash hitting Northstar hard in the chest sending him tumbling onto his side. He pushed himself off the ground then collapsed again.
Kurt was moving by now teleporting to Jean-Paul's side. Glory raised an eyebrow at Kurt's appearance, "Demon."
Nightcrawler didn't respond he just leaned in feeling Northstar's pulse then turning to Glory. He smiled a devilish grin his tail silently wrapping around Jean-Paul's ankle teleporting into the mansion.
Willow's red hair was fastened in random spurts off of her neck. Tara's was going the same the blonde locks flipping in the air. They had whipped up a very powerful protection spell keeping anything out of the mansion stuck that way. She broke mode for a moment looking over as Glory was smashed into the ground.
Juggernaut had Glory by the ankle smashing her hard into the ground. He growled as he chucked her into the forest snapping her through about seven trees. He ran at her his eyes narrowed. His fists clenched he swung down preparing to pummel Glory hard into the stone earth.
He never made contact his arm digging into the dirt. He yanked back his darting eyes looking for the blonde woman, "You will not hurt a child." Cain hissed, he had believed that motto even when he had been a professional criminal. He stood tall looking for Glory through the trees. It was then he felt a small shoulder in his back but the strength in it actually put Juggernaut on his face.
Standing he swung at Glory missing her. He had to grab her again she was to fast to hit when she wasn't still. Watching her he put his hand out to grab her but her small hand snatched the side of his wrist smashing him over her head. She leapt on top of the behemoth ripping his helmet off. Pulling her arm back she hit Juggernaut square in the chin, "You've touched my things! I can smell it!" She hissed hitting Cain Marko in the face.
"You will never have her!" Cain said grabbing Glory's fist spitting in her face. Juggernaut missed his old strength. He would have been at her strength level had the demon Cyttorak not taken a large amount of his power he would have torn this whore apart.
"I am a god. You all will die." Glory said ripping Cain's hand back head butting him hard in the nose. She back handed him and his large form went limp, "So whose next?"
"Will I do bitch?" A woman's voice said from behind Glory. The blonde's head snapped over seeing a blonde woman standing tall in short white shorts and a lack of top outfit. She had long white gloves on with knee high white boots, * Lets play. *
Glory stood laughing and was thrown through the air. What the? A witch?! No that wasn't a spell it was something else. Glory rolled on to the dirt floor landing in the leaves her red salsa dress torn, "You're going to die."
* Bring it. * Emma Frost's voice said in Glory's head and as she finished Glory was tossed like a cookie through the air again, * You misguided red bitch! *
Glory stood up royally pissed off now. She shot forward at her top speed grabbing Emma's neck her lips curling into a sneer, "Not so tough now."
* Beast! * Emma's mind yelled and Glory smiled.
"Yes I am the Beast. The all powerful goddess." Glory said not sure why Emma had chosen to call out that certain name for her. But she didn't care it wouldn't matter the blonde was about to die.
A blue furred foot swiped into Glory's face hard knocking the goddess back off of Emma. "Hit her hard Frost." Beast said landing next to Emma his blue fur swaying in the soft wind.
Emma didn't waste a moment of a chance squaring herself she glared down at Glory. "Die." She hissed and unleashed her power directly at Glory. Glory screamed in pain holding her head as hundreds of memories pumped into it along with a pain the goddess had only ever given others.
Glory screamed on the ground Emma not holding back at all as she let loose every inch of power at her disposal. The White Queen stood triumphant over Glory not letting up in her assault, "Henry we need her out cold soon. I am ripping her a new one but she isn't backing down. I can't."
Emma didn't finish her sentence as she was in awe as Glory pushed herself off the ground, "From hell.I can deal with pain." Glory said punching Emma in the chest sending her backwards. She folded in half dropping by Juggernaut's limp form. She was out cold and Henry was all alone.
Beast squared himself knowing there was no way he could take Glory. She was to powerful. He was nothing power wise to Juggernaut and Frost and Glory had just made easy work of them. Beast was going to die.
BAMF!
Henry heard that noise and his hear leapt. Then it happened again smoke filling the air around Glory. There was so much brimstone in little time Henry wasn't sure where Kurt was but he knew he was glad he was here.
Kurt finished his ports Glory coughing and waving away the brimstone, "Is this the best you got? Smoke?"
"Will I do?" A deep voice said and claws penetrated Glory's stomach. Glory screamed in pain Wolverine's claws inside her. The feral mutant moved to stab Glory with his other arm and she hit him hard in the nose. She shoved him off of her almost instantly healing from Logan's wound. She looked around her she was now surrounded by five people; the two blue demons, the feral clawed man, a red-headed woman and an angel.an agent of the almighty. Glory for the first time was afraid, she had lost in battle twice in her life. Once against her two fellow hell gods and the first time to an angel.
The angel was her main threat Glory was sure of that. He was brandishing a sword from the deep dimension, a demon sword. Glory moved to choke him her arm flying out but she was again thrust backwards by that damn force the blonde woman had been using. But this shove was on a whole new level.
She glared over but saw the blonde woman was still out cold. She rose to her feet and was held in the air her arms and legs flaying out prostate. She tried to pull her arm but found she couldn't move. She looked down and saw the red head her hand on the side of her head the other arm pointing at Glory. She was the cause of this that woman had the same power as the blonde but on a much higher level.
"Jean do you have her?" Angel asked his grip on his sword not releasing this woman had taken out many of the X-Men's best fighters. There was no way anyone way dropping there guard. Jean nodded a quiet yes as she strengthened her telekinetic hold on Glory.
Popping her neck the demon goddess decided to try something. Her strength had failed her in escaping but perhaps her speed would not. Glory began to essentially vibrate shaking herself at her top speeds. Jean screamed in pain still holding the god in place.
* She is.moving to fast! I can't hold her! * Jean telepathically screamed and Glory glared down at her.
"You were in my head!" She hissed and forced her way to the ground. She was on all fours her focus on Jean. That woman would die, slowly. The feral mutant leapt in front of her and Glory grabbed him by the neck taking his slices into her skin without care. She squeezed attempting to snap his neck. She found she couldn't do it but he was bleeding and had no air. Chucking him aside she knew he would suffocate within minutes.
Kurt teleported this was a losing battle. Appearing behind Glory he wrapped himself around her and teleported straight up. He teleported the two nearly a mile in the air, the moment he appeared he teleported again back to the ground. He fell hard as he had begun to gain momentum but it didn't hurt to much. Looking up he watched as Glory fell.
"Angel." Kurt said but the business tycoon was already gone. In the air Angel met Glory straight on and cut her deep with his sword across the back. The god turned snapping Angel's arm. Kurt could do nothing from where he looked on as the god wrapped herself around angel using him to slow her fall. At this speed and with Glory on top of him Angel would die when they hit the ground.
But the winged mutant wasn't lying down to his death. Gripping Glory's heel he pushed her off of him and Kurt was forced to watch as Angel and Glory began tumbling head over heal towards the ground already at terminal velocity. Beast was at Kurt's side, "Can you help him."
"No he has picked up to much speed. If I teleport him to the ground he will still hit at that speed." Nightcrawler said watching in horror. Open your wings Angel, fly. Kurt looked over to Juggernaut and the White Queen's still bodies.
He snapped his head back and watched as Angel near the ground opened his wings slowing his fall. But it hadn't been early enough, it slowed his fall but the blonde mutant still struck the ground at an intense speed.
"Beast find him." Nightcrawler said then moved to Jean's side putting his three fingered hand on her back as Henry took off leaping from tree to tree with incredible speed.
Jean put her arm around Kurt, "Get us inside the witches shield."
Kurt didn't waste time arguing with his red headed companion. He knew she would be alright on her own for a small period of time. He flipped quickly to Juggernaut and the White Queen. He needed to get them both to the infirmary. That was three people down, possibly four with Angel by this demon woman. Kurt wasn't worried though; they would shut her down. They would win, they always did.
Disappearing in a large bamf the mutant disappeared friends in tow. He felt more tired then usual and he was sure it had to do with not only the masses he had been teleporting quickly in a short time but also with the barrier the witches had up. Not always but occasionally magic's screwed with mutant abilities. He had a feeling he was only able to get through the barrier because Willow was letting him.
The yellow eyes of Kurt Wagner looked at how dark the room was getting. Lights had gone out in one corner of the infirmary and the darkness was spreading. It saddened Kurt as he teleported outside again. He had left the wounded in Cyclops and Iceman. The joker was quiet tonight and very directed. He was one of the best in a tough spot and for that Kurt deeply respected him. He wanted to die with a smile on his face, was that a crime?
Appearing outside on the step next to Willow and Tara he made sure not to touch either of the closed eyed women or step in between them. He could not risk disrupting the spell at any cost. Teleporting in another swirl of purple Kurt appeared once more at Jean's side. At least where he had left Jean. The red-head was nowhere to be found.
"Jean come in mien freund." Kurt said tapping the communicator located in the breast of his uniform. He didn't get a response so he tried psychically pushing out with his mind like he had been trained by Xavier sending a single word, JEAN! He still received no response from the female.
Kurt looked around edging his way slowly through the trees when he heard a snarl and a clash of metal. Wolverine! So the magnificent mutant was up and moving again. Kurt flipped forward snatching a gliding off trees almost as easily as Beast towards the noise of Wolverine. Landing Nightcrawler looked on as Glory hit Wolverine hard in the stomach and the mutant sliced claws into her neck. Logan had lost himself and was in a rage trying ferociously to kill Glory.
That was when Kurt saw why. Behind Glory lay not one but two lifeless bodies. There was blood everywhere matted between blue fur and angelic wings. Kurt didn't think he simply moved teleporting to the mess that was his friends. He leaned in and was about to feel Beast's pulse when he saw the gash in the mutants throat. Glory had town Beast's throat out. Angel wasn't in much better shape both his wings snapped and bleeding and his legs pointed at obtuse angles. But at least the wing mutant appeared to be alive. Moving over Kurt felt his throat and got a slight but slow pulse. He didn't waste a moment he smashed his communicator, "X-Men Emergency! All available troops outside! We have a medical crisis!"
Kurt teleported Angel in his arms appearing in the infirmary with Bobby standing in between Emma and Cain's unmoving forms. Kurt sat Angel down on the med-table the black seeming to simply want to roll over him as a tear fell down his cheek, "He needs help." Kurt never even noticed that Cyclops and Northstar were both missing from the room. He was in a state of shock he had seen to many of his friends die before.
