Rallying the troops
Everyone's memories came back to them, once they had a few reminders. Avengers Mansion made a good rallying point. Some were harder to find than others, but Anya managed most of them, the Tallus did the rest once Sarah asked it.

Time to get back to business.

Sarah waits in the main meeting room, letting everyone get assembled before she delivers the bad, bad news.

A bolt of lightning streaks down from the sky, crashing in between the Marauder and Holocaust. Sarah's accuracy with the lightning still isn't the best, but she's just as worried about dealing with the woman, whoever she is, as Holocaust, so its not a total loss.

She's right behind the thunderous crash, going right at Holocaust, not willing to give him any quarter, or even a moment to think. She knows how powerful he is.

	Malice is flung back by the impact, slammed against the building. The world goes hazy, and its all she can do for the moment to keep control of her current body. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Holcaust is thrown off balance, but keeps his feet at first. He crashes into the side of the stone structures when the tiny girl crashes into him with more force than he'd expected. Still, he's nigh indestructible, and right back up, firing blasts of radiation at the wisp. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sarah's assault falters at the blasts. She's able to get the shield up in time, though it still burns around the edges, and she's still slammed backwards, giving him more room than she'd wanted to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Holocaust rumbles forward with more speed than something his size and bulk should have. He slams a hand downward at the shield, trying to drive the girl to the ground, then steps down, pinning her and trying to crush her under her shield with superior strength, preventing her from gaining any leverage.

"AAGH!"

She's slammed down, caught off guard by his superhuman speed. She knew about the strength, his blasts, and the rest, but he's at least as fast as she is. She struggles, unable to get any leverage to lift the shield, her breath slowly being crushed out of her as she's driven into the dirt.

She reaches towards the hammer, just out finger reach, hands coming up with dirt a couple times as she grasps blindly.

	He drives down harder, feeling her struggling, hearing her breath growing faint. "Did you truly think you could challenge me, whelp?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Her fingertips close on Mjolnir. Its a struggle against pain, weakness, and the stars dancing in front of her eyes, but she catches the thong, dragging the hammer into reach. He fingers close about the handle, and the head hits the ground.

It burns, every nerve in her body firing, but as much as she missed before, she knows how to bring the lighting down on top of herself. And not only did she have the shield, but Holocaust was stepping on her, the two factors shielding her from some of the blast, and he certainly gets worse than she does.

	She'd love to take advantage, but right now, its all she can do to catch her breath and clear her vision, giving away a few precious seconds before she's able to sit up, then struggle to her feet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Recovering first, he rushes at her, swinging more for power than precision, sensing victory and weakness alike and seizing upon it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She's slammed back against the wall, leaving an indent in the stone, taking a blow to the side of the head that leaves her ears ringing, and a crushing blow to her ribs. The pain helps snap her back to her senses though, and while he's fast, he's not as well trained. As soon as she sees an opening, she lashes out with the hammer, kicking upward at the torso if she can get any space.

	He takes the first blow, doing little other than making him take a step back, little power behind it. The second has more force, and he stumbles off balance, trying to regain the initiative with a radiation blast. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sarah ducks the blast, coming in low, swinging for the jointed, mobile parts of the stomach armor with the edge of the shield, and more for impact than precision with Mjolnir. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The first splits a couple plates, leaving obvious damage, but no breaches yet. The second rocks him back, sending him to the ground and skidding along hard. As he comes to a stop, both hands come up, firing a concentrated blast at her, trying to catch her before she can get the shield up from the attack. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She takes the hit hard, wind driven out of her as she's blasted back into the building and through the wall. Struggling right back up, she flings the hammer as hard as she can. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The impact is thunderous, sending him careening back under the hammerblow, the crack in his armor where it hit glowing and smoking. He's plenty coherent even so, rushing at her full force, crashing through the wall he sent her through. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She's slammed back and into the opposite wall under his charge, shaking the foundation of the building. She rolls aside, pulling herself back to her feet with help from the shaky wall. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He's paying their surroundings no mind, blasting away again and again. "You cannot defeat me!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rogue_star 2010-03-21 04:20 pm UTC (link)
	She deflects the first blast aside, then ducks low, deflecting another up. She dodges another, before her eyes open wide, realizng the damage he's done to their surroundings. She building shakes and groans, then begins to collapse, hundreds of tons of stone raining down on top of both of them. Its all she can do to get the shield up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He blasts upward, disintegrating the stone as it rains down. He still takes numerous impacts, and ends up buried to the waist, but its easy enough to begin to free himself, pushing up to the top of the pile. "You've damaged me, whelp, but it was not enough, not nearly enough." he says to the pile of rubble. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

All is quiet, settling for a few moments. Then the pile shifts. Badly battered and torn up, Sarah crashes free from the pile, lifting into the air. She whirls the hammer, looking as if she's about to throw it again, then doesn't, building up a directed hurricane force blast instead. The stones and rock chips rise, swirling about Holocaust, battering him with a barrage of stone driven before 200 mph winds.

	He's smashed from all directions at once, some of the rock actually embedding in his armor. Once he finally regains his senses, he begins raidating out intense energy in all directions, glowing brightly, disintegrating the stone before it can strike him and regaining his footing against the wind.

	She doesn't hesitate, already having built up momentum with the whirling hammer. She throws it, trying to aim for the shadow of a figure inside the blinding corona of light. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He's slammed back, flying several yards before crashing heavily into the ground, the crack in his chestplate wider now. Enraged, he races back at her, intent on her destruction, slapping aside the shield and reaching for her throat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
