It's Time...To Rise. (Fright Night Prologue)

As Nosferatu awaited Zack's response a glint of something big caught the corner of his eye and with unnatural reflexes he smashed through it with a quick backhanded forearm. The undead creature then yelling out a quick retort to the mongrel before returning to Zack.

"I thought I smelt your scent, beast, I'm surprised my hatchlings couldn't dispatch of you. When this all over...Remind me to skin you myself."

As the vamp lord spoke he opened his wingspan wide showing his whole body to those around him as thudner cracked in the sky and rain began to fall. As if things weren't bad enough, now the sky was litterally falliing down on the Titans.

--------------------------

Meanwhile, the vamps chasing Raven and Kunoich that got passed Honest continued to give chase. One stopping in it's tracks as Liev encolsed to take him on. The other then pounced for Raven as it got near, onyl to be cut off by Kunoichi. Literally. Who drew her sword as it drew near and finally the last one that approached Raven did so steadily. Licking it's taloned lips without fear of the daughter of Trigon.

Haruhi had taken to helping the police officers who were getting scooped up by leaping across rooftops at the demons and stealthily catching them off guard. Good. That just meant Liz could focus more on the ones on the ground trying to kill her specifically.

(Mind)
"Just great."

"10-4, I hear you loud and clear Static, but it looks like we got a negatory on ground support from Whoop-Ant. You and Haruhi take to the skies while Chessmaster and I handle ground patrol. Do you copy? Ov---"

Whoop appeared to be very busy on the ground dealing with some nasty buggers (no pun intended) heading his way. Meanwhile, some new guys arrived on scene. One of them knocked out all of the teams intercom's with one electric pulsation. Now that took some impressive power, but luckily for Spider-Girl's he suit was well more than equipped for such interference after the safe guards she built into it when she met that last electromancer. Only magnets and ultrasonics could screw with her circuitry now. Luckily, the other one was close by and had come just in time too.

"Oh that's just great, hey new dude with the sword. Aid the classical music buff here for a sec would ya and protect as many people as possible, while I go give good-lookin over there some help."

And whether Ethan wanted to admit it or not, he definitely needed it! His directed blast had hit the mark, head on, collision absolute, the large leader of the demons had been fried to a crisp...However, as he tumbled over in a smolder of smoke....The beast rose back up and looked at Ethan with anger in his eyes, heat spewing from his nostrils, and words of hate vomiting from his mouth!

"You Meatbag, that was luke-warm compared to the fires of of the 9th circle! But, you'l know for yourself pretty soon!!!"

That being said, the large demonic entity formed a flaming axe in his rapidly regenerating palm and lunged it at Ethan with enough force to flip a car over on impact. The flaming axe in itself was at least 3 to 4 feet in size. Then after chucking the axe, in his other hand he formed the flaming whip again, but before he had a chance to try and keep up pressure on Ethan after the projectile attack, suddenly a gooey substance hit him int he eye and as he ripped it off a hailstorm of pitter-pattering web balls laced the side of his body. Just further annoying the evil creature until he turned around and ate a swinging side kick to the face as Spider-Girl swung in and delivered a hail-marry blow. Afterwards she continued to swing away from him, not wanting to get too near to something with skin made of lava chunks.

"Sorry, but the sole of my foot had just been itchin to get to your face all night. Guess you just got one of those mugs people want to walk all over."

"RRRGGGGRRRAAAH!!"

(Mind)
"Ahh crap, very bad. This is either going to be really painful or extremely embarrassing.

Liz probably should've left it alone, for as she swung past him after causing the giant demon to stumble, the mark of Trigon burned bright upon his chest after he fully finished regenerating and then extended his whip as he lashed it in the web-slingers direction. The hell spawned weapon then latched around the Mecha-Spider by the armor covering her upper abdomen and with one swift tug he yanked her out of the sky through the side of a brick building where she crashed landed in a heap on the ground just a few yards away from the unnatural figure. Moments later she pushed the rubble off of her, but only in enough time to see the demon walking towards her with malice intent.

"Yup, a little bit of both I see. Not good at all..."

JaK, Superboy, Toji Shadow continued to attempt to keep the ghosts at bay, but Sage began worrying about his teammates. Scope and Grace were missing in action for far too long. After making his way out of the Main Ops. area he was in via decking and kicking some of the ghouls out of the way, JaK arrived at Grace's location only to catch a ghoul coming towards her. Sage was definitely to far too to reach her, but maybe he could try to...

"Worth a shot definitely, but can't guarantee it'll work."

What was JaK saying, it HAD to work or else. For as much as he hated to admit it: Lance, Will, Grace, and now Toji and Scope were the closest thing to real friends he ever had in life and had a special place in his heart for all five of them. Sometimes he even suspected they were the things that kept him from going to that point of no return he feared Nightmare had gone.

"GET OFF HER!!"

He reached his hand forward, futilely at first, but within the same instance his arm began to stretch and zipped across the hall into the face of the ghost near Grace. His astral hand knocking it away with sufficient force as his arm then sling-shotted back to him.

"Wow, I can't believe that wor---AAAAEEEEIIII!!!!

JaK then began to approach Grace and reached out to help her up, when suddenly his arms were both sliced off by a figure that looked different than the other ghosts in the room. Yes, this one was the same banshee that had just finished plaguing Scope and Grace and had now moved onto JaK. However, his hands were astral so he could easily reform them. That was not the issue here, no, the problem was that this thing had sensed JaK's fear earlier about his brother and in turn had chosen Sage as it's next target.

JAK SAGE I SENSE THE EVIL WITHIN YOU! YOU DENY IT'S EMBRACE, BUT YOU'VE ALWAYS KNOWN EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE...EMBRACE IT JAK SAGE.....DO NOT DENY YOUR DESTINY.

"LEEEETT MEEEE FREEEEEEE!!!!"



As the ghost spoke to JaK he looked at it defiantly until it moved it's scythe upon his chest and touched over his heart and with JaK missing his hands he couldn't stop it at the moment. Upon doing so JaK's worse fear came true, his arms grew back alright, but it was a transformation. One that only Will, Kat, Dan, & Lance would recognize. For Grace had been unconcious at this point back during the tournament of heroes where Sage absorbed the sword of Zoltan called, Nargok. Sage thought he had dispelled the demon entity that dwelled inside of it, but that dark place in his heart where he believed he would never really own up to being a hero, that palce where he put his guilt, his anger, his disturst, it had sheltered a piece of the demon dragon and now...The spirit had awoken it. JaK was no longer hismelf, like Grace who had just moments earlier transformed. He tried to fight the change, but in all honesty...He welcomed it. No longer hiding what he truly was felt pretty good. He wasn't a hero, he was never a Titan, JaK would and always will be the brother of a murderer, son of a mad-scientist, and now the half-spawn of evil.

"YES! I AM UNBOUND FROM THIS CHILD AT LAST!"

As Nargok took control over JaK's vessel he looked over the female teen as the esssence who had turned him hovered behind the possesed JaK and whispered suggestions into his ear.

"Fine. I'll kill the girl for you and then I'll capture the other one. It's the least I can do for you unleashing me from this adolescent's prison of a soul."

As the spikes were avoided, blocked and then sucked up by Will and his created companions Ariel smacked one of the incoming orbs out of the way. Again trying to show her dominance over Psychosis magically, but failed to contemplate that magic wasn't the only thing they were fighting with as she received a professional boxer type punch to the jaw that knocked her to the ground, HARD. Had she not had the mark of Trigon etched on her forehead, that probably would've knocked her out. However, she instead sat up and looked at Will with a bit of disgust, but at the same time playful intriguement.

"Ouch! That really hurt William!! Well if you're going to try to break my bones, I'm gonna throw sticks and stones! Ay,aa Para'sorina,"

That being said, the trees would then begin to rattle around Will as he closed the distance between them; the large boulders and small rocks littering the park area all began to come hurtling towards Psychosis. The branches were like stakes or spears and the stones similar to catapulted artillery. However, as Ariel put her focus in her opponent she did not notice her conjured figure being taken out by the Grace and JaK mirrors. As Grace froze it and hit the thing with a bullet in the chest causing a giant hole to form in it's structure around there. JaK suddenly flew from the tree top above he with his fist straight out in a Superman flying pose and flew right threw the dark creature head. Upon smashing it JaK rolled as he hit the the ground and ended in a knelt position. No words ever escaping the copy's mouth as the conjured being collapsed in his wake and dissolved.

"Don't think I forgot about your little puppets either. Noroom Bashir'ala! Mi'krom Afiroot!"

Suddenly as JaK rose and readied to attack Ariel he was encased in and hour glass and found himself unable to break the black magic dome, which steadily began to spurt an acid black substance all over the mirror's body. Eventually it ate him away until the top part of the hour glass was empty and the bottom part was full, while the Sage copy was no more. The second spell that was cast caused a thunder cloud to form over head above Freeze, which cackled and boomed as Grace became it's apparent target, shooting multiple bolts of purple lighting at the girl in a directed attempt to obliterate the magic mirror image.
