In the outside physical world, Storm had started creating a category five hurricane to attack the mansion with. Suddenly, all of the clouds dissipated, the winds died, and Storm started to fall from the sky. Logan caught mid-leap with a grunt. Hawk came out of her mental trance and came up to him. "She's goin' to be okay, Logan," Hawk said. "She's just extremely weak from when the Shadow King attacked her."

"Who?"

"Better let Storm explain, I don't really know myself."

"Where's the Professor?" Logan asked, looking around. Hawk did the same.

"That's a good question," Hawk said. She was sure that Xavier had come out of Storm's mind with her, but that didn't explain where he was now.

Storm started to stir a little, and Hawk knew she was having a migraine. "Hawk, the next time you want to use lightning inside my head, don't."

"Whoops," Hawk, laughing nervously.

Logan put Storm down and supported her as she staggered. "Now, if we can only find the Professor-" Logan began.

"Looking for someone?" a voice called from a few feet in front of them, dark and malicious. Then the Professor stepped out of the trees.

"Found him," Hawk said.

Storm gasped. "No!"

"You can blame your little friend for allowing this to happen," Shadow King said.

"How did I cause this?" Hawk demanded.

"The force of your lightning bolt pushed me into Xavier's psychic form, allowing me to bind my form to his."

"Or, better yet, put that 'psychic chain' around him." Hawk used her fingers as quotation marks for emphasis. "So what? You've only augmented you telepathy. What do you expect to accomplish in doin' that? That's nothing compared to what I can do." Hawk suddenly felt pain in her head. "Okay, okay, I get the point."

"Do you now..."

While Shadow King rambled on, Hawk hissed to Storm. "What was the tactic that Hitler used during World War II? I think it's part of football..."

"Blitz Krieg?"

"Yeah! Remind me what that means again..."

"Lightning fast-" Storm stopped and looked at Hawk as she realized what she was getting at. "Oh no."

Hawk smiled. "Oh, yes."

"Hawk, don't even think about it."

"Too late."

Storm gave her a sharp look and wondered if she'd always been like this before and, perhaps after, the orphanage. "You're not going up against him alone with lightning."

"Who said anything about doin' alone? I was thinking about doin' it together."

"You're not going to use lightning. You can't wield it properly- if my migraine has anything to say about it. Let alone, fly and wield it."

Hawk sighed dramatically. "Storm, you underestimate me. I was hoping to use Mara and be a decoy. Then, we could blitz it. You strike first and then we could both strike afterward."

"Mara Jade can control lightning?" Logan asked skeptically.

Hawk rolled her eyes. "Honestly, how do you guys think I took out Mystique?" She didn't realize both adults were there when she struck Mystique. Logan was just teasing her.

Storm sighed. "Alright, go with it."

As Hawk slowly backed behind Logan, Storm started to call upon the winds to lift her up. Logan placed a hand on her arm to stop her for a moment. "Are you sure you're alright?"

Storm nodded. "I'm fine Logan." Although, she knew- and didn't tell Logan- that her migraine would probably get worse when she sent out her lightning. Shadow King got a little preoccupied- probably trying to get Xavier under control- as the three talked, but now, he noticed Hawk was missing, and Storm's breeze starting to pick up.

"Oh, no you don't, Witch," Shadow King growled. That didn't phase her a bit. She was used to being called a "Weather Witch," "Goddess," and- her personal favorite- "Wind Rider." What did phase her, was his telepathy. Usually it only gave Xavier a headache to try and reach her mind while she was in-tune with her abilities. But, with Shadow King's augmented telepathy, it only increased the pain in her head; close to the point where she was ready to pass out.

"Hey, Shadow!" Hawk called from below. "Quit pickin' on her and try me for a change!"

The pressure ceased and Storm was back to having just a migraine. Storm just hoped that Hawk hurried up. Keeping herself aloft with the winds was already starting to drain her.

After Hawk telekinetically pushed Farouk down and broke his psi sword with her lightsaber, she looked up to the skies. "Blitz it!"

XXXX

Storm was about to reach the brink of unconsciousness, when Hawk gave her the signal. "Blitz it!"

Summoning the last bit of energy she had, Storm brought a lightning bolt down on him once, then again as Hawk shot her lightning bolt. The pain in her head became so overwhelming, she had to give in to the darkness.

XXXX

The Professor laid on the ground, writhing in pain. Hawk rushed over and slowly took some of it away. She only hoped they didn't scramble his nerves. Suddenly, Xavier stopped and looked at Hawk. "Please, never do that again."

Hawk shrugged in acknowledgment, then looked around. Logan came out of the trees, with an unconscious Storm in his arms. "She alright?"

Logan nodded. "Just exhausted."

"Maybe Blitz Kreig wasn't a good idea."

"Ya think?"

A/N: Okay, the fight scene between Shadow King and Hawk was supposed to be longer, but I lost the page somewhere. Hopefully I'll find it and add it on.
