Still frozen in place and unable to escape, he wasn’t all too worried
about his situation. In the corner of his eye, Mr. Sinister could make out his
Marauders entering the room silently. Vertigo, Multiple Man, Ruckus and Gorgeous George
surrounded the giant blue furred dragon woman ready to throw down a fight if
needed by their master, and since she showed no sign of reacting to them meant
that she had no idea they were there.
“Forgive me for
being blunt Miss Marie, but you’re hardly in a position to manipulate me into
helping you.”
Stepping back
to anchor himself near the wall, Ruckus gave his master a nod before silently
taking a deep breath, ready to blast the monster woman with a concussive blast
of his scream. That is he WOULD have if Rogue hadn’t sprouted a jagged bone
spike from the tip of her tail and struck her tail out like a scorpion to
impale the wall, right between the man’s legs.
“Ah could smell
yer men from outside the hall…”
“GET HER!”
Combining their abilities, Ruckus and Vertigo blasted Rogue with their powers,
making her drop to her knees in dizziness and pinned down by sonic pressure. The
effects were so intense to her heightened senses that Anne Marie had her hands
at her ears, her eyes shut from the waves of sound pressure throbbing her ear
drums and making her eyes tear up. Gorgeous George moved up and helped pry
Mister Sinister off the wall, wiping the frost off the man’s shoulders before
Essex swiped the man’s hands away and straightened his coat.
“I do not know
why you are what you are now Miss Marie, but do not fret, I DO intend to find
out why.” Thanks to the careful control of Vertigo’s powers, Essex was
unaffected by the disorientation when he stepped up to look down at the
whimpering monster woman. “Who knows… Perhaps I can duplicate it and create a
legion of all powerful monsters. A GIFT, to Apocalypse to reclaim his good
graces.”
Unable to
concentrate and with the world swirling around her, Rogue was trapped.
