LIMBO:
WE JOIN A BATTLE ALREADY IN PROGRESS-
"Yah- und dhat's all I know." Nightcrawler screamed out in his German accent over the sound of Wolverine's claws and his own makeshift melee weapons clanging and clattering against Demon tooth and claw and bone through flesh. He had just finished telling Wolverine the events leading up to their appearance here in the Dimension known as Otherplace. The part of the story he didn't know, wasn't aware of, was...
Where was Logan during all of it.

"Bombs, eh!?!" Logan snarled. He was about to say something but was momentarily distracted as a slashing claw of a leathery skinned demon took a shot at him. His razor sharp Adamantium claws never wavering under the pressure of these tortured half souls and quasi souled beings relentless attacks.
Dodging slightly left to allow the next slash to glance off his temple as he stabbed his claws lightning fast into the creature's chest three times. Turning his wrist just slightly each time to stitch slashing stab wounds, he grinned as he saw this next demon drop as well, joining all it's fallen companions.
"Yeah, well I was out in the woods having a good old time with Sabertooth while all that battle out front of the school was just startin'. " He called out over his shoulder. The two X-Men having located each other and battled their way together now fought back to back. "I saw it for what it was from the start. A trap!"
*Block- Slash- Reposte* his Adamantium blades sliced armor and claw and blade.
"But, I had to trust that you all at the school could handle things. Mystique had a plan - Sabertooth had bloodlust! I had to keep him busy if I turned my back on him for a minute to go after Mysique I mighta lost track of him and he coulda got to the girl." He grumbled between slices and blocks.
"I gotta be gettin old too, cause he got me good - deep." Thick nearly black blood flowed out of a gut wound in his mind's eye, a memory of the lucky shot that Sabertooth landed before he tossed around a few trees and chucked him over the cliff. "Then he gave me the old heave, and tossed me off the cliff."
"Musta been in the blast of them bombs, cause I heard you ~BamF~ in above me as my insides was knittin back together. LOOK !!! High ground!" he said pointing up at a nearby hill that erupted into a weird spiraling cliff .

Kurt swung his head left and then right to see where Logan was indicating. Higher ground would be just what they needed. These demons seemed to come at them in waves and the high ground would cut off at lest on or two avenues of approach.  "Ya! I see mein friend. Let's get over there." He was quite exhausted and quickly weighed the pros and cons of teleporting them both to the top of the cliff. 'It vill save us time and energy. Wolverine still needs to heal to be at his peak performance, and fighting like this all the way up there will tire me out even moreso than a teleport.' Nightcrawler thought. "Hold on I vill take us!" he called out and grabbed Logan's shoulder. |

Teleporting with Nightcrawler was never a fun experience, for most it felt like the world was spinning and twisting into itself and then you popped back out into it as if you just fell upward out of the sand. Some would vomit, some would take minutes to feel right enough to stand up without losing their balance. Wolverine didn't have those problems. He had taken enough rides with Nightcrawler that he knew what to expect, and this time was no different. Appearing in a puff of brimstone the sound of Kurt's distintive "bamf" filling their ears, Logan scanned the area in front of him. Trusting Kurt to do the same as they would need to secure the top of the cliff he didn't turn right away. It was barely a moment before he heard the sound of the only other non-demon, strangely the most demonic looking X-Man of all, crying out for help. Spinning around Wolverine saw Nightcrawler in trouble---- |

The tentacle wrapped fast, constricting tightly around his throat cutting off his airway and crushing the life out of the blue German X-Man. 'Ahk! how stupid of me.' he thought with the pain and panic rushing into his mind he reacted instinctively. Dropping his swords he reached up and grabbed hold of the appendage that had his head at the verge of popping clean off of his spine and ~~~BaMf~~~ A quick site to site teleport by Nightcrawler took him five feet to the side and with him he took the limb of the demon who had surprised him. Normally Kurt would never do anything like that to an adversary however this was not a normal set of circumstances and he was in dire straits. The tentacle relaxed from his throat and with all of his remaining strength Nightcrawler pulled it from his neck, the sheer weight and girth giving him a struggle. "AAArrWWOOOOooohhHHHLLLlllll!!!!!!" The creature screamed and the sound was deafening as it fell back, green blood spraying out of it's severed limb. The scream seemed to shake the cliff top and the whole of LIMBO fell silent for a moment... |

"Oh great.... Now everybody knows where we're at." Logan said before sprining forth hoping to slice the creature apart and toss the chunks off the cliff.
BUT....As he hurled himself forward something grabbed him by the ankle and knocked him off his target. It was heavy.
He caught himself before he fell on his face but looking down to his foot he saw immediatley what it was. The severed tentacle that Kurt had saved himself from was moving of it's own accord.
The screaming demon began to sprout another limb and as Wolverine called out a gruff "Hey Elf, you okay?" to his long time friend Nightcrawler, he saw the tentacle sprouting a whole new rest of itself.
"Ugh, this ain't too good." he said as he leveraged his foot free of it's grasp. "Thing's like a hydra- cut it up and we're just gonna make more of it. Looks like we need a 'Plan B' !"

Still clutching his throat Nightcrawler looked up at Logan a battle weary stare in his eyes. The two X-Men had been fighting non stop since they found themselves here in LIMBO, countless hours ago.
Since time moved strangely here there was no way to know how long they had been at it except for their own fatigue, and since Wolverine didn't have that to worry about it became Kurt's problem alone.
"Fast - ball - special, mein friend?" Nightcrawler asked gasping for some air that wasn't hot, but finding none. He hoped Logan would be able to keep the tentacle from grabbing him as it had just done to Logan himself. With herculean effort he picked himself up and ran, with what strength he had left, at his stocky Adamantium boned compatriot.

Seeing Kurt running at him Logan retracted his claws, with a *SNAKT* they slid back into his body. He took a second to square his shoulders as stomped hard on the squirming limb at his feet to pin it in place and interlaced his fingers to give Nightcrawler a launching off spot.
Catching Kurt's foot a mid stride as he threw himself into the air, Logan used all of his leverage to crank backwards and whip the blue X-Man over his shoulder at the howling creature behind him. With a grunt he let him fly and landed on his back. Rolling up to his feet he looked to see how his aim was.

The modified 'Fastball-Special' allowed Kurt to knock the daemon off the side of the cliff. Falling, plummeting to the ground below the jagged peak Kurt regained his composure and before the creature could latch onto him he teleported back up next to Logan.
"Nice toss mein friend. But look at zhem." Nightcrawler pointed to the rest of the slobbering mass of daemons that were making their way up to them. "It is a fine day to join viss fallen comrades, und it has been a pleasure to know you Logan." Kurt smiled weakly at Wolverine. He knew he would be little help to his clawed berserker team-mate. He was simply spent, there was nothing left in him, he had fought the good fight and he would raise up his arms again, but in his heart he knew the end was near.

"Enough of that fuzzy elf, you just relax and catch your second wind. I'll go stall 'em." He hardly ever called Kurt that, it was a term that Kitty had used for him on so many occasions and Logan thought it might give him some strength of will to remember the girl that they both had watched grow into the fine young woman she was today.
The truth of it was that Wolverine had seen it. The look that no warrior wants to see on his fellow warrior's face. It was defeat, and it showed in Nightcrawler's eyes. 'Can't let Kurt go out like this, we gotta keep fighting. I know somebody back home misses us, they gotta be coming by now.'

"Stall zhem? For VHAT! Vhy are ve here?" Kurt was exasperated and out of patience. He had no energy left and was about to die, he knew. He just didn't understand why he was here or why now. Behind him descending gently and slowly the Master of this realm floated to land quietly behind the X-Man on the tip of the peak of the cliff, the cliff that was to be the last stand of Wolverine and Nightcrawler. Alighting on the tips of his toes He inhaled through his nostrils, making an audible *sniff* sound. Kurt whipped his head around just as Belasco, the Lord of Limbo, answered his question.... |

With that statement the Devil Lord of Otherplace, the realm of LIMBO, raised up his arms and the sky became a swirl of purple and white light. Then, in an instant, a bolt of lightning slammed down upon them from above and all was washed away with white light. ~fin~ |
