No Escape {Xavier & Ryan}

[maddie]

Friday, 4th December, 2009


Ever since Maddie had moved to Las Vegas to be with her best friend Grayson she had never looked back, nor had she felt anymore safe. He looked out for her constantly and she still owed him for what he had done previously. Sadly he was never able to get the main guy who had caused her life to be miserable and that was Xavier Beckett. He was still at large from what she knew, but thankfully, so far, she hadn’t bumped into him again, and she didn’t want to either. Today she was at a rather loose end though and wasn’t sure what to do with her day. In the end she decided to use the teleportation she had absorbed to get take herself off to New York for the day. That was the beauty of teleportation, just being able to take off anywhere you liked by simply thinking about the place and closing your eyes.

She landed in the heart of Lower Manhattan. It was such a beautiful city but one Maddie usually preferred to visit in the height of summer. It was winter now and the sidewalks were glistening with freshly fallen snow. It wasn’t heavy, so it was easy to walk in; Maddie had luckily dressed herself for the weather anyway, knowing that it would be colder in New York than Las Vegas where she had just teleported from. She slowly walked along the sidewalk taking in the views. Most of the trees other than the evergreen ones had lost their leaves, an automatic sign that winter had well and truly set in. One touch from Maddie’s hand would have the tree in full flourish again within seconds, but Maddie seldom used her goddess attributes in the public eye.

As she walked she saw the entrance to a park and she decided it would do no harm to go into the park and see if she could communicate with any of the animals there. She also liked to paint, and she had brought her artist supplies with her, so if she saw a nice scene she might sit down on a bench providing it wasn’t too wet and begin to paint what she saw. She continued to walk until she was quite deep into the park and then saw a little pond which had ducks and swans swimming around. It was a lovely sight to see because with the temperature it was amazing that the pond hadn’t frozen over. She watched one of the ducks swim toward her, “Ain’ ya a pretty one?” Maddie also had the attribute to communicate with animals through being a goddess; which meant she could talk to any animal and Maddie would be able to understand what they were saying back to her.

To anybody else the duck was just quacking, but to Maddie the duck told her that they would soon be a daddy as his lady duck had laid eggs a while ago. Maddie smiled at the duck and it swam away from her again to join the others. Maddie then went to sit on the bench so she could begin to paint what she saw in front of her but as she went to move backward a hand was put around her mouth and then the voice began to speak to her. A terrifying voice she knew only too well. It was the voice of Xavier, the man she had tried to escape from for years, the man who had physically abused her, and the man she thought she was now safe from. She didn’t want to appear vulnerable it was just a way for Xavier to get to her more. So with all her might she freed herself. “Xavier just leave me alone, don’t you think you have done enough damage in my life?” Her voice was strong but it had evident fear in it.

[xavier]

It was another cold winter day in New York and Xavier had no real idea why he was even there. It wasn't even as if he was trying to track down that girl Rebekah, he had given up on that one ages ago, she had too many powerful people around her, especially since she became connected to the Petrelli family he knew he would never get anywhere near her now. Yet somehow he had ended up in Lower Manhattan, the exact part of New York where Rebekah now stayed with her family. Maybe he was secretly hoping to bump into Rebekah after all and try to cause more misery to her life. What he hadn’t counted on was seeing his ex Madison. He used to love the fact she was so gullible always believing his empty apology so that he could keep using her as a physical punching bag. However he went too far one day when he slashed her thigh with a knife just for kicks and she became strong and did what he knew she should have done ages ago and left him.

But now here she was again making her way into a park. A park which looked like it might be rather empty especially given the time of year. Maybe he would be able to get a bit of fun in after all, it might not be with who he had expected, but it would be fun just the same. Maybe it might even be better that it was his ex. He crept slowly and quietly toward her and when she began to move backward to sit on the bench that’s when he grabbed her by clasping his hand over her mouth. “Well, if it isn’t Madison Jackson, I’ve missed you. Where have you been all this time?” His voice was dark and haunting. He could feel her tensing up and he knew she had the power of Genetic Absorption, but he couldn’t be sure of what powers she had absorbed so far, so he had to be careful she wouldn’t suddenly either slip through his fingers by phasing away or by teleporting. She began to struggle and he felt that she seemed stronger than he remembered her. “Managed to get a little bit of strength Madison I am impressed.”

She then told him to leave her alone and hadn’t he caused enough damage in her life. Xavier began to laugh hysterically but as quickly as he had laughed he stopped, a dark expression coming over his face. “I haven’t even begun to make your life a misery Madison you don’t know what a miserable life is like.” Then without warning, wanting to make sure that she didn’t go anywhere fast, he used his telekinesis to grab her around the neck and then forced her to sit down on the bench. “I was just thinking about your friend who killed one of mine in your honour, I wonder if he’ll be able to come running to help you now. Where is he when you need him the most?” He tightened the telekinetic grip around Maddie’s neck; he was determined to put an end to her life, if he couldn’t get Rebekah he was damn well going to get Madison.

Thegirlted windows on Ryan's car made it so he could barley outside. He turned on his heat to defrost them. Ryan took a pair of black leather gloves out of his dash bored. "Sure has gotten cold around here this time of year." He muttered to himself putting the gloves on his frost bitten hands. Ryan has been working all day and felt himself still worked up and awake. He could be doing something to tire him out and make him sleepy for he had to get up early the next mourning but he decided he needed to relax a little bit and have some time to himself. With nothing better to do Ryan drove up to a bike trail. He smiled as he now knew what he could do with his free time. He would decide to go for a run. Ryan parked the car and zippered up his warm jacket. He opened the door and felt the cold air push the warmth away. Ryan stepped out and looked ahead at the invisible starting line. He walked up to it and Begin to run.

His feet kicking up the freshly fallen snow as he sprinted down the trial. He looked at the sights of trees and houses X-miss decorations and frozen water. Birds have long gone to migrate for the winter was to cold for them yet a few birds remained here snuggled with there loved ones for warmth. Ryan smiled as he continued to run. He wasn't going any were but this was good exercise. It felt good to work out like this and Ryan loved to run. He still didn't know why he loved it so much. The path way grew narrow as it entered a pit stop were runners could rest for a moment. Ryan would skip this resting spot as he went off the trail and into the park were he would find a better view. Ryan looked at the snow as it was untouched by anyone. He continued to run until he found a bench. There Ryan sat down and took in deep breaths. All that running brought back memories from his high school days when he played sports. Ryan just sat down and relaxed for a few minuets while he caught his breath. He then got up and walked about the park not wanting to go back to his car just yet.

When Ryan walked around he saw the face of the man he wished never to see again. Following Xavier to a women on another bench. Ryan staid at a distance as he saw the scene play out in front of him. Xavier was still evil and still after cute girls from what it looked like. Ryan grew angry at this. The killer and villain who tried to attack his sister Rebekah was right in front of him. Lurking about on a new female Ryan had never seen before. Ryan couldn't stay back and do nothing for long. He wouldn't let this guy hurt anyone else. Now was the time Xavier would pay for hurting Bex that dreadful day. Ryan never stopped thinking about revenge. With an evil expression on his face Xavier cast a telekinetic grip around the girl’s neck. Ryan came into sight running up to them without hesitation. He looked at the girls face and noted it to memory really quick however everything was a blur as he focused on Xav. "Xavier!" He called out in rage as he reached him. Ryan enhanced his leg muscles and lunched himself in the air. He balled his fist and super sized his fist to be as large as his whole body. With one full swoop he fell down trying to pound his giant fist on top of Xavier's body.

[maddie]

Maddie couldn’t believe that Xavier had been able to track her back down again. She honestly thought she was safe and she knew if Grayson knew that Xavier had caught up with her he’d be so angry and be there in a flash to protect her and probably try to kill Xavier once and for all. However, Grayson wasn’t here, he was in Nevada while Maddie had used her teleportation to get her to New York, Lower Manhattan to be precise. She just felt like going somewhere where she knew the weather wouldn’t be as warm as it was in Las Vegas even though she loved it there. All she had wanted to do was to relax and do some painting, and now after freeing herself from Xavier’s hand which was around her mouth she had told him to leave her alone.

He soon began to taunt her, something he had always been very good at, saying he was impressed by the fact she had a bit of strength now. “Don’t mock me Xavier.” She replied almost wishing she had more fighting abilities to her name. She did have one major attribute and that was to be able to mess with someone’s mind making them sick and then eventually die, it was part of her powers for being a Demi God, but it was the one attribute she seldom used. Maddie didn’t like stooping so low and she didn’t even like violence or fighting unless it’s in self defence. She had acquired electrokinesis but by the time she thought about using it on him, he had already grabbed her telekinetically by the neck forcing her to sit on the bench.

He then began to taunt her again saying she didn’t know what a miserable life was like and he hadn’t even begun to make her life miserable yet. Even for being a Demi God there was a fear coming over which seemed to freeze her and struggle to find the powers within her. When he spoke about Gray she desperately wanted to tell him to leave Gray out of it, but the grip around her neck was now so tight she was beginning to choke and no words were coming out. Maybe she should just give into him, let him kill her, but then she saw someone approach and she tried to tell him with her eyes to just leave, knowing full well what would happen if he didn’t. But it obviously hadn’t worked as he shouted out Xavier’s name.

So this guy knew Xavier? Was this one of his sidekicks? Her second question was soon answered however, when the guy soon began to attack Xavier. The only other reason why this guy could know Xavier was if he had attacked someone in this guy’s life and he was now hoping to get payback. He would have a difficult time then thought Maddie, Xavier was tough to break. But Maddie’s eyes almost popped out of her head when she saw what the guy did next. It was like his hand became as big as the guy himself. Soon enough the grip around her neck seemed to stop and she began to choke again but then found her inner strength as she held her hand out and sent a bolt of electricity right to Xavier’s chest, in the hope she would hit him.

[xavier]

When Maddie told him not to mock her he just started to laugh again, “Ooh Maddie, I’m petrified, can you see it in my face?” He then stopped laughing and gave her an evil look as he then had grabbed her around the neck telekinetically. Oh how he loved that power he had managed to gain, it was a good one. Xavier had a good few powers but he was always hungry for more, however already having an ability which could gain him more powers, he saw no need to take Maddie’s because he knew it was just another ability to gain powers, no, all he wanted to do to Maddie was just kill her and be done with it.

He had forced her to sit on the bench and began to taunt her about Gray, the man who had killed one of his guys when he was trying to get to Xavier and failed. He could tell she was trying to speak but the grip he had around her wouldn’t allow it and he began to laugh, “Sorry, are you trying to say something to me Maddie?” He taunted some more, loving every minute of it. Then he heard his name be called in an angry voice, still keeping the grip he turned to see it was Rebekah’s brother. He sighed loudly and rolled his eyes, “For the love of God, can you not just leave me alone?” He knew it was a stupid question and one which would not be answered, or if it was, certainly not the answer he would like.

The next thing to happen shocked even Xavier. He knew the guy had a freaky ability the last time he bumped into him, but this was like something he had never seen before as Ryan, because he remembered his name, managed to make a fist as big as Ryan was himself. It came crashing down but Xavier dodged it, however in doing so he lost his concentration and he knew the telekinetic grip on Maddie would have been broken. As he stood up after dodging the huge fist attack he soon saw a bolt of electricity come toward him. So she had gained electrokinesis too had she, he went to move but didn’t move quick enough and the electricity zapped him where it hurt the most and he slumped to the ground, the bolt had stopped his heart.

However, having gained the power of self healing, he was only out for a few seconds before he was back on his feet again and shaking his head and finger at Maddie. “Now, now, that was good, but you aren’t going to get rid of me that easily. I managed to get myself the ability to self heal, so you can both do your worst, I think I know who’ll be the sorry ones in the end.” As he held out both of his hands one in the direction of Maddie and one at Ryan and sent off bolts of electricity to both of them in the hope that he would hit at least one of them, preferably Maddie.

[rocky5]

Ryan couldn't imagine there would be someone like Xavier here in the park today. How do they keep letting these evil villains out? He should rot in a police stations jail for the rest of his pathetic life. The man should have been able to put his evil intentions behind him after fighting with Ryan the last time. Ryan just couldn't stand this guy. He first attacked Rebekah and made her life a living hell. She was so frightened and nervous all the time because his attack was so sick and vile. But Ryan also knew that Xavier deep down would never stop. He was just a big jerk and needed to be put in his place. Attacking those weaker then he was. He would just stoop so low as to only attack pretty girls. As Ryan ran at Xavier shouting his name he was only thinking of one thing, Revenge.

Sighing and the eye rolling from Xavier had no effect on Ryan except for the fact that it annoyed Ryan that this man wouldn't even come to his senses and act like a human being not some monster out of a cartoon. Ryan listened to the comment and his anger filled his motives. remembering last time they fought Ryan would say the same thing he said then. "I told you before scum like you don't get to talk to me." Ryan jumped in the air and shouted "I'll shut you up!" Xavier dodged Ryan's attack however and Ryan was surprised. He was sure he would squish the little insect. "Your faster then before." Ryan commented as Xavier seemed to be out of danger. Ryan turned his back to Madison to get a clear view of Xavier so he didn't see her forming an electrical blast.

Ryan's eyes locked on to Xavier's he saw the reflection in his eyes glowing as the electrical blast from Madison flew by Ryan's shoulder and hit Xavier dead on. Ryan could tell that his hart had stopped even for a moment. Ryan was now able to sense the condition of others bodies without touching them. This was because of the constant training he had done to perfect that. But still he couldn't be sure if his examinations were correct unless he touched them after. He still needed to practice it. But Ryan was shocked as That bolt flew past him. He wondered were it had came from. Quickly turning behind him and looking at Maddie.

Looking at her with stunned eyes. She was beautiful. He hair shinning in the sun. She was fit and had a cute little face. Her eyes were amazing. Ryan noticed she was in the position of attack as if she had threw the bolt at Xavier. It would make sense if Xavier attacked someone with an ability. "Nice shot." Ryan complemented the girl as he turned back to Xavier seeing him heal himself. Then he said something which made Ryan cringe. He could heal himself rapidly. Ryan wished that someone like Xavier would have never obtained such an ability. Although Ryan didn't need to injure him to hurt him. "Is that supposed to scare us? How about I make your nerves so sensitive that every time you go to touch something it will be like poking your finger tips in a box of knives? Or should I make your hart pump more blood then needed so you constantly die of blood clots? Even if you'll eventually heal yourself I bet the process would be quite painful to live with." Ryan now taunted Xavier thinking of ways to make his life miserable.

Xavier attempted to shoot two bolts of electricity to Maddie and one to Ryan himself. Ryan closed his eyes and concentrated hard. He stood perfectly still in a ninja position. A stream of water flew from his body over to the electrical bolt directed at Maddie. Ryan was hit with the bolt directed at him. He felt his body go numb and filled with pain for an instance before going back to normal, His ability acting on its own. The water stream absorbed the electrical bolt directed for Maddie and shifted its direction away from her. Ryan couldn't let anyone get hurt. It just wasn't in his nature. He would rather get hurt then have her be harmed in any way. Ryan now on one knee from the pain tried to get up on two feet again. He was happy that technique worked. "The human body is anywhere from 55% to 78% water depending on body size. Water is a conductor of electricity Xavier. Don't forget I can create and control any aspect of the body including the least expected properties." Ryan warned him. He mostly was trying to prevent him from using another electrical attack by believing that it would be pointless. But the truth way it hurt Ryan allot. If it wasn't for quickly repairing cells, cutting off the nerves and fixing them after as well as healing himself as Xavier did Ryan would be in a world of pain. Ryan looked over at Maddie, "Lets work together to take this guy out once and for all." Ryan suggested. "Names Ryan Linderman" He introduced himself with a smile despite the situation they were in.

[maddie]

Maddie just wanted Xavier to leave her alone. Hadn’t he done enough damage to her over the years she had known him? He obviously didn’t think so, although if he was leaving her alone then he would only be praying on some other poor innocent young girl. At least Maddie had strength behind her and quite a few powers to her name between her Evolved Human ability and her Demi-god attributes she just couldn’t do much at his moment because of the telekinetic grip Xavier had on her. He was taunting her, something she hated. “You should be petrified Xavier, one of these days someone is going to catch up to you and you’ll either be locked away or they’ll take your life.” Maddie didn’t realise at this point Xavier had managed to get a hold of regeneration.

Maddie had tried to say something when Xavier had taunted her about Gray but nothing had come out due to the grip around her neck, sadly this just led to Xavier to taunt her some more. She was getting very angry now and she knew the minute he lost concentration and let go of the grip she would get him before he could get to her again. It was at that point someone else came on the scene, a rather handsome young man and they knew Xavier. Xavier taunted the guy as well but the guy got really angry and told Xavier that he didn’t get to talk to him. If she could Maddie would have smirked at that, but she was in too much discomfort right at that moment.

The guy attacked Xavier and although he didn’t actually make contact with him it had caused Xavier to lose his concentration dropping the grip around Maddie’s neck. She had immediately stood up and threw an electrical charge at Xavier and had to laugh a little as it struck him right in the heart and he fell to the ground. She honestly thought she had done it, killed him. The other guy turned round to see where the electrical bolt had come from and he soon complimented Maddie on it. “Thanks.” For a few brief seconds she felt happy and then she saw him stand up and shake his head and finger at her telling her he had picked up regeneration and they could do their worst. Maddie was going to say something but the other guy got in first, so Maddie just let him get on with it.

Maddie couldn’t help but laugh a little at some of the things the guy was saying he could do to Xavier, “I would do all of it and more if you could. He’s made too many women’s lives a misery, trust me.” Maddie said her voice cold, but that was when Xavier had directed two bolts of electricity, one toward her and one toward the other guy. The bolt didn’t reach Maddie though as she watched this guy in fascination do something with water making the electrical bolt not work but she did notice he got hit with the other bolt. It made her gasp slightly, she hated when others got hurt for her benefit, just like she hated that Gray had gone to prison for her benefit.

After the guy taunted Xavier some more after he had stopped the electrical bolt coming her way the guy turned to her and said they were to work together to take Xavier out once and for all. That was all good and well she thought, but he can heal now, they’d never be able to take him out once and for all. But they could knock him for six enough to make him think twice about it. She gave the guy a weak smile, “I’m game if you are. It will be a tough fight though, I’ve lived with this guy and know what he’s capable of and have the scar to prove it.” Maddie almost spat the words out as she glared in Xavier’s direction. The guy then introduced himself giving Maddie a smile; she smiled back at him a little more brightly this time, “Madison Jackson, Maddie.”

Maddie wondered for a few seconds what it would be like to turn on her invisibility and then phase her hand into Xavier’s chest and yank out his heart, which was bound to kill him surely? However Maddie wasn’t a killer, so it wasn’t something she would do even if she was thinking about it. However she decided to have a bit of fun, for long enough she was the one in the torturing chair, it was Xavier’s turn. She turned on her invisibility and walked toward him, circling him a few times just to hopefully put him off the scent of which way she was turning next and then phased her hand into his arm and then teleported back to where she had previously been standing shutting the invisibility back off again. Oh she knew he would heal, but it would damn well hurt.

[xavier]

When Maddie taunted Xavier saying he should be petrified because someone was going to catch up with him one day and he’d either be locked up or his life would be taken. She had no idea that he could regenerate now, well he wasn’t about to tell her that, at least not yet anyway. Instead of saying anything he just gave off a sinister laugh instead and shook his head at her. She was pathetic, just like she always was; he would soon end her life once and for all. To shut her up he just tightened the telekinetic grip around her neck and he couldn’t help but taunt her over Gray and then taunt her some more when he could see she was trying to speak but nothing was coming out this time.

The next thing he knew they had company in the shape of Rebekah’s brother Ryan. Xavier had rolled his eyes and taunted Ryan, but he just said in an angry voice that he had told him before he didn’t get to talk to him. Xavier just open and closed his hands together making a ‘blah blah’ symbol and mouthed the words as well. However what happened next Xavier hadn’t quite expected as he shouted he would shut Xavier up and a huge fist was coming down onto him, but Xavier dodged it but let go of the grip around Maddie’s neck and that’s when he got his with an electrical blast from Maddie.

It had killed Xavier for a few brief seconds, but he soon recovered and got back up onto his feet and taunted Maddie some more and then he watched a scene unfold in front of him between Maddie and Ryan. It was very touching, not. Xavier had then let it be known he had the power to heal and they could do their worst as he had a feeling he knew who would be the sorry ones in the end. Of course this prompted Ryan to talk asking Xavier if what he had just said was supposed to scare them. Xavier laughed. Ryan then began to threaten him with so many different things he could do to him. Xavier just made the ‘blah blah’ symbol with his hand again and rolling his eyes. He sighed, “Like I said, do your worst.” He then glared at Ryan, it wouldn’t matter what either of them did to him, he would just recover from it. The only thing he wasn’t safe from however was mental manipulation.

Xavier had then made two throw an electrical blast toward both Ryan and Maddie, but Ryan intercepted manipulating water and diverting the blast that would have hit Maddie, however Ryan was so busy making sure Maddie wasn’t hurt; Ryan was hit with the other blast. Ryan then went into explanation about the body and what it was made up with. Again Xavier had no time for it and once more used his hand to do the ‘blah blah’ symbol. Ryan then went on to warn him some more about what he could do. “Whatever.” Xavier muttered but he decided against using his electrokinesis again as it would have no effect if Ryan was going to use his water manipulation on it all the time.

Ryan then turned to Maddie and spoke to her saying they should work together to take Xavier out once and for all and then he introduced himself. He watched as Maddie introduced herself also and then Xavier sighed again, rolling his eyes. “You know this is all very touching, but if you’re going to take me out once and for all, why not just get on with it already?” Xavier taunted, not realising that Maddie had turned on her invisibility, he was so focused on Ryan, then he realised that Maddie was no longer there. He turned round a couple of times, but couldn’t see her, and then he felt a sudden sharp pain through his arm. So, not only did she have invisibility, she had phasing as well. Xavier yelped out in pain, as he may heal but everything damn well hurt at the time.

Once the wound was healed he glared at Maddie, “Very good, very good, but not good enough, already healed, as you can see. What’s next?” Xavier knew what was next, putting his hands out in front of him and taking a deep breath, closing his eyes, he then moved his hands apart, as he did this the ground beneath Ryan and Maddie’s feet began to move apart and crack, he had just begun to use his terrakinesis.

[rocky]

Dustin had been watcing the fight in the shadows hidden as he was searching for his brother. He wanted to know how strong he had become and why he didn't go back to his true family like he was destined to. Dustin searched and searched the world for Ryan until he found him as soon as he saw his brother he knew that they shared the blood of his mother. However Dustin and Ryan had two different fathers, there mother was sort of a lover to many. Some would call it trashy but she did this with class and grace that her reputation was still highly regarded and respected among all. She liked strong men and loved little children. Her nature always allowed her to have a child. She had one child per man she loved. Often letting the fathers keep the children after they reached a certain age. Most of the fathers didn't want there off spring like in Ryan's case so they ended up in adaptive families. Memories altered and new parents created. But now Dustin wished to unit his bloodline starting with his older brother Ryan.

As the ground rumbled and the earth shook a voice seemed to be whispering in the background. "Brother.... brother....brother ..... you... are ... my brother...." It was faint and could barley be heard along side the curtailing rocks. Xavier's terrakineses split the earth into small cracks. Ryan linderman and Madison Jackson were caught in the direction of the earth quake. The shadows from the cracked earth rose up as darkness formed an image of a persons shadow. In a blinding flash of light a boy stood in between Maddie and Xavier. His head was lowered so as to not show his face right away. The boy however turned only his head to get a side view of Xavier, "Just a human?" He simply asked curiously to himself as if he was annoyed by something. Dustin has a golden sword attatched to his back. He was deciding weather or not to draw it out. If Ryan was as powerful as Dustin has heard then he would need it. But Dustin wouldn't sense anything special about his brother.

Dustin looked over at Maddie and Ryan, "You two are pathetic to team up on this man, He is but a human. Born of earth with little knowledge of are species and the power we hold." Dustin snapped at them. He then turned back to Xav. "I will fight on his behalf due to the fact this is an unfair match. The two of you must have two opponents to equal the playing field. To balance the game." Dustin continued then he rose his hand to the sky pointing at the sun. "From the heavens above, filling harts with love. Grant me your power, from darkness to light I shift until night." Dustin chanted as his hand began to glow. He fired a blast of light at Maddie aiming his hand in her direction.

[maddie]

After Maddie and Ryan had introduced themselves, Xavier spoke again saying that it was all very touching but if they were going to take him out once and for all, could they get on with it already. Well they weren’t going to be able to take him out once and for all, were they? Because Xavier could heal, so it would make no difference what she and Ryan did to Xavier, he would just heal from it and it was sickening. Why was it always someone evil who could heal from anything? Why couldn’t she have the ability to heal, then she really would have given Xavier everything she had in the fight. However Maddie didn’t say anything to Xavier’s taunting words this time, instead she had turned on her invisibility and then phased her hand into Xavier’s arm, knowing it would cause him immense pain even if he did heal from it seconds later. Maddie couldn’t help but laugh a little when Xavier had yelped in pain. “Now you know what it was like all those times you hurt me.”

Xavier had then taken great pleasure in telling Maddie that he was already healed and what was next. She was about to answer him but didn’t get a chance as Xavier began to make the ground move apart underneath her and Ryan’s feet. “Damn it Xavier, you could injure and kill more people than just us, why don’t you stop already.” But she knew it would be a waste of time, Xavier didn’t give a damn who he hurt, he would even harm a small child, he was a sick individual. Maddie then turned to Ryan, “This isn’t good.” Then from out of nowhere someone else suddenly appeared and landed in between Xavier and Maddie. She couldn’t see him as he had his head down low but she did see him move his head to the side to look at Xavier and then muttered something about him being only human.

“Oh, you have it wrong, he isn’t human, a human wouldn’t act the way he does. He’s an animal.” Maddie shouted wondering who this person was that decided to get in the middle of the fight between Maddie, Ryan and Xavier. The guy then looked toward her and Ryan and began to speak saying they were pathetic to team up on the man and that he was just a human and how he didn’t know of their species and the power they held. Maddie got very angry then. “Who are you to speak to me in that manner?” Maddie demanded of the guy, and then couldn’t help but continue, “You do not know him, you do not know the things he has done, I have the scar to prove it, and he holds many powers. Do not let him fool you.”

It would seem Maddie’s words had little effect however as the guy then spoke again saying he would help Xavier in the fight, as it was unfair for it to be two against one. Well, she thought, if that’s what he wanted then that’s what he would get. No sooner had she thought that, she heard the guy begin to speak some sort of incantation or something. What the hell was he, a wizard? Then a glow was being aimed at Maddie and for some reason she figured the incantation had caused the guy to get some of the sun into his hand to throw, which meant it would be like fire. Since Maddie didn’t have the power to heal, she knew she could be in trouble if it hit, but with the ground shaking and cracking, it was difficult to make a break away. She moved to the side to dodge what the guy was throwing, and then raised her own hand and formed a ball of electricity and threw it in the direction of Dustin. As she did this however, the ground where she was standing began to crack and move and suddenly Maddie was beginning to fall down one of the cracks.

“XAVIER!” She screamed out loud, “You do not want to do this, please stop it.” She could feel herself dropping and eventually she had to hold onto the edge of the ground which was still separating and finally let go as she closed her eyes, kicking her phasing ability into play. She soon popped up under the ground at another spot and quickly turned until she saw Xavier and the other guy. She was very angry now and she could feel getting the better of her. “If you do not stop this nonsense with the ground Xavier, I might be forced to use one of my other powers, one I really don’t think you will like.
