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.

	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)

	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)

	He slams into her just as the hammer is getting back, sending Mjolnir skidding a few feet away, out of reach. She's able to block his first strike, but it does indeed knock the shield aside, and his hand closes on her throat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He lifts her off the ground, this time with the sense to watch for her hammer. He begins crushing, smashing his free hand into her face and chest repeatedly, battering her already damaged form. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She's unable to breathe, and has to force herself not to panic. She slams at his arm with the shield, trying to force him to let go, but she can't get a good swing behind it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

It almost works. His grip loosens long enough for her to draw a single breath, even if its painfully hot this close to his armor's radiation leak. He tightens his grip again though, and tightens his grip, hand radiating energy as he tries to crush and burn the life from her. He draws her in closer so she can't get any swing at all behind the shield, holding her aloft.

Unable to use the shield, she drops it. The breath of hot, irradiated air doesn't help much, and in addition to the strangulation, she can feel her throat burning, his fingerprints burned into the flesh.

As he pulls her in close, she goes for one last, desperate option. She digs her fingers into the crack in the armor. She immediately pulls back from the burn. No other option. She thrusts her hand into the breach again, then releases hold of his wrist, digging the other hand in as well. She can feel her fingers burning as she grabs the armor, tearing as hard as she can, trying to force the gap wide.

	He screams, an echoing wail as he feels his containment suit being torn open, the leak growing worse. He tries to focus his energies, attempting to put an end to her before it grows too severe, but finds the effort just causes the leak to grow worse, especially as the crack becomes a tear, then a hole, his chest being torn open.

As soon as she can writhe free of his grasp, Sarah dives for Mjolnir, choking and coughing as she does. She knows now, there was nothing under the armor but his energy body. Her hands are blackened, but she forces her fingers to move, closing about the hammer in a pained grip. She can't let him explode - the fallout could be nearly as bad as whatever he had in mind. She begins trying to focus her mind, drawing all the energy she can into Mjolnir and away from Holocaust.

	The destruction of his armor was bad enough, but he has reconstituted himself before. Now, he feels himself being ripped apart. He staggers towards her, then collapses. He wills his body, such as it is, to remain coherent. Even that struggle takes several minutes, but bit by bit, he loses. When the armor falls forward, its entirely empty.

The energy coming at her burns her eyes, her face, her hands, and new burns radiate up her arms. She almost loses consciousness a few times, but holds on. By the end, she's on her knees, fighting unconsciousness and pain. The energy struggles to get free, the hammer can contain it, but not for long.

She converts it as best she can, and fires a blast of mystical energy into the skies, briefly lighting the evening like it were high noon, the blast upward that used to be named Holocaust visible for miles around.

With that last effort, Sarah tumbles forward, mercifully unconscious.

	She was forced to abandon the whore's body, but her form of psychic energy survives the chaos of the battle of the two powerhouses nicely. Seeing only one thing living, even if she's badly hurt, Malice heads for Sarah's unconscious body. If it will heal, the possibilities are endless. (Reply to this)(Parent)
