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.

Arclight new the voice, but the powers were decidedly different.
"Fuck you Tom," she growled, punching the root around her ankle and causing it to break as an arc of light flashed out. She fell back to the ground, twisting her body so she landed on her feet, a tremor cracking the earth and severing a few of the other roots before they had a chance to grow properly.
"What the hell are you doing out here? Shouldn't you be with your lover boy, Juggernaut? Or are you having a spat? Did he shove that Shelleigh too far up your ass last time you went at it?"
Her hands came together and an arc of light rushed out from them, heading for him and his tree.

Tom drops into a backward roll just as the shockwave hits the tree, inches above his head. It explodes apart, showering the surrounding area with steaming chunks of wood. Tom comes back up onto his feet, pulling out his shillelagh as he does so and leaning on it as if he had all the time in the world.

"Juggernaut? My god, what a different a reality makes. 'Cept for you, of course." He stamps, once, and all of a sudden the two of them are standing in long grass reaching above their heads. Tom's voice seems to come from everywhere.

"Back home, you were an arrogant shite with delusions of grandeur. Here, you're an arrogant shite with delusions of grandeur. And the next time I have apparently pissed off karma enough to merit meeting you, you're going to be an arrogant shite with delusions of grandeur." As he speaks, he circles her silently, locating her through his powers, and as the last word leaves his lips he lunges through the grass to strike at the back of her head with the shillelagh.

	The shillelagh hit and Arclight saw stars for a moment, but it wasn't enough to take her out. She spun and tried to deliver a kick to his gut. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The kick's too close for Tom to dodge, but he manages to get his arm up into a crude block. It hurts like a bitch, but it's better then a broken arm. Then he lunges, trying to grab one of Arclight's wrists. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He managed to grab her wrist, but it brought him in closer. Arclight's other fist was moving and aiming for his face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The punch connects. Tom's head snaps back with a sickening crack.

But his hand doesn't let go of her wrist. His fingers shift and warp, and all of a sudden his arm is wood, with creepers running up and down her wrist. The pressure bites tighter and tighter, aiming to crush her wrist past repair.

Tom's head comes back down, slowly. Inside his neck, wood reworks his bones back into place before fading into marrow again.
"Nice try, love, but you'll need better then that."

	Arclight yelled as he crushed her wrist. She pulled her fist back and punched him again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Tom twists this time, bringing his free arm up again and snatching tight hold of Arclight's elbow. Again, his hands warp, and he encases her up to the shoulder in wood.

SOmewhere inside his head, the wooden King laughs, and calls for blood. The pressure on Arclight's wrists mounts. Tom doesn't care about anything now, but to feel them crack and snap inside his trunk.

	Arclight found she couldn't move either of her arms now. She struggled to move, but his hold was too tight. She felt the bones in her wrist breaking. She tried kicking at him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The kick slams into Tom's shin. He grunts painfully, and the pressure abates slightly for a second. He retaliates with a vicious headbutt. (Reply to this)(Parent)
