With a quick kiss on the cheek to Beast, Dazzler grabbed Onyx's hand and stepped through the large silvery portal first. It felt odd coming through it, as if stepping through one of those tubes in a house where all the lights flash. It made Ali feel a bit lightheaded for a second but not too much. It was like stepping into a huge sauna without the moisture in the air, just the heat. The wind, that was usually a relief to heat, just made it even hotter.
"Well this will definitely open up my pores," she said with a smile as she pulled Onyx out onto the wall of the castle, where they loomed high over the ongoing battle. A sense of protectiveness came over her when it came to the young boy. Perhaps it was the fact that her caring and nurturing nature took over her whenever she came across a lost soul, like it was with Nocturne, Cain, and even Beast. She didn't like the idea of anyone feeling alone like she often felt when she was struggling to keep her mutation a secret. Especially when that time her sister killed a man with her power and they were both on the run. But this was not the time to look back.
"Come on all, we're pretty well hidden up here. All of them are paying attention to what's going on down there. Let's get in here before they notice," Dazzler said and ushered everyone in on the long wall. It reminded her of the wall that all the archers and guards would stand on from all those medieval themed movies she watched. "Gina darlin' you're with me. We can rock this crowd, dontcha think?" she said with a wink.
Allison looked at the others as they got out and then looked around down there. "Oh no Kurt!" she cried softly when she saw him lying unconscious. "There are kids in the crowd too. I don't see Cyclops but I see Emma, and that poor little boy. Alright troops we gotta get in there and kickin' too," she said going into battle mode as she got herself ready. "Hey Iron Guy,you gonna take the skies with Thor? Think you can give a lady a lift?" she asked with a smile, her eyes on her target.

"I'm right behind you Dazz!" Gina called out thinking to herself how awesome it was to be fighting demons in hell next to one of the alltime most rad X-Man ever. How could she be anything but a step behind her.
The sound of her voice was strange as she passed through the portal, it quivered like the sound of someone playing the saw, weird and eerie in it's echoey-ness. Emerging out the otherside she felt the slap of heat as it hit her full in the face. "Ughh christ this place is hot!" she exclaimed.
They were high above the noise and confusion below, and their voices wouldn't carry over the sound of battle below. They did however have to get out of everybody else's way. She had looked over her shoulder when she'd followed Dazzler and Onyx and had seen the faces of all her now teammates. Avengers, X-Men and students alike were uncertain of the events to come, she didn't need HeartString's powers to tell her that, the expressions on their mugs told her all she needed to know, and she felt it too.
Looking down she could barely see what was going on until her eyes adjusted to the wind and heat. The scene was far more deadly now that she was actually in the dimension they were only moments before remotely viewing from Lab 4 of the Stark Tower in New York City. "Oh man this place really is hell." she said looking over at Dazzler and Onyx.

Tony stepped through the portal, feeling a bit jerked at the motion. Luckily he was pretty steady on his feet. "System Adaptation On. Dimension Positioning System of Limbo activated," his suit said in his head. "Alright Homer make this as precise as you can. Map the location of the portal on automatic launch. Never know when that might come in handy," he said to his computer as he studied the crowd below him. "Homer find me a weak spot on this crowd," Tony said as he scanned the crowd. Two blips came up on his vision that indicated the weak spots. "And they say we have limited technology," he said with a scoff as he glanced over at the lovely Dazzler. "Anything for a lady, and such a beautiful one at that. I'm sure Thor, Ms. Marvel and I are up for giving some rides."
Tony looked around at the crowd and pointed at the little boy and his computer dictated Cyclops in the crowd not far off with a small view of him that only his technology could catch. "Well Ms. Marvel, looks like you got a job. Get that poor boy outta' there and grab ol' One eye while you're at it. Thor, I think that the pretty little fire girl could use a proper gentleman right now to help her out. Wolverine did part of it, but if more of those uh things come, I'm sure they'll appreciate the help. Or at least she will I think," he said with a bit of scoff. Wolverine and himself got along for the most part, but they weren't exactly friends.
"The rest of you, Dream, you and HeartString get a lift from Thor to the stage and do you're thing. Shadowkat can't hold them off for too long. Ironclad, grab the boy and get in there to help Emma. You both got good combat powers. TrueSpirt, I'll give you a lift to the stage if you need it, but we gotta see if any of the-" He was cut off by his system stopping and focusing on a white haired girl that he programmed on his file as Haven crowd surfing. The only problem was that she was classified as a demon. "Aw hell. Looks like you got a case Oh Great Shaman. That girl let her demon side swallow her. I'll grab her outta here. What we do have to watch out for is that woman right there. My system can't classify her, and frankly that doesn't sit right with me. We're here to get them out," he said as he grabbed Decibel in one arm and Dazzler in the other. "So RESCUERS ASSEMBLE!" he called as he flew them down and everyone went into action.

Carol readied herself as she saw the portal be opened up in front of their eyes. As the others began stepping through it, so did she. A rush of heat met her and she let out a breath. "Be it ever so humble, there's no place like hell," she said in a low voice as she looked around below them all. It was a lot to take in and she saw all of the X-Men and the students scattered around the place, though all were surrounded by demons.
She stepped past Dazzler, Decibel, and the young blond boy to make room as well for the others to come in and scanned the area again. Preparing herself to fight, she looked to the others and gave a look. None of them knew what to expect in such a dimension as this one, and she looked to Iron Man as he came through and gave orders. "Gotcha Tony," she said, and quickly located the boy first and then Cyclops.
Taking a step, she flew over the crowd and dove down to the boy who was getting clawed. The demons around him saw her and started climbing over each other to try and pull her down. She felt their claws and scales scratch against her but knew it would do nothing, and landed quickly to shake them off, though some of them were holding quite tight. Prying them off with her hands and punching them back, Ms. Marvel moved quickly to the poor boy. She pulled the demons off of him and knocked them back, slipping her arms around his waist as they tried to grab at him again. "Hey there, it's going to be alright now," she said to him in an attempt to make him feel slightly better as she took the opportunity to lift off and shake the demons that clung at her legs.
She hovered in the air out of the reach of the demons on the ground, and dodged the aerial ones that lunged at her as she weaved through the air. She tried not to jostle the boy in her arms too much, and she made her way towards the stage where a group of the X-Men were. She landed near Shadowkat and the two kids, a little further from the demon woman and placed both the boy down gently. "You alright?" she asked, looking him over, giving him a small smile.

Thor stepped out of the portal, dusting himself off as well as his hammer Mjolnir. "This place is hotter than the brightest spot in Hades," he said as he helped out American Dream and HeartString out of the portal. "That trip certainly could have been better, wouldn't thee say?" Thor said to Onyx.
He scoffs a bit at Tony's orders, but nevertheless trusts his long time friend and leader. "Thou is not a pack horse Tony, but thou'll always help a damsel in need," he said as he gently lifted HeartString and American Dream. "Pardon me my ladies as the ride may not be the smoothest."
Thor lifted the two women, shield and all easily into the air as he flew across the crowd. An arrow from below hit his armor, making Thor stop to glare at the creatures. "Soulless Fiend! How dare thee strike the Son of Odin! Thee will feel thy rath!" he cried as he flew the women safely on the stage. "Easy does it my ladies!" he said as he set them down and flew to the fire girl having the life choked out of her by the large minotaur demon.
"Have at thee villain! Unhand the lady!" he cried as he struck the demon with Mjolnir, shocking it with electricity that his hammer allowed him to create. The demon was too busy chocking the girl, but let her go at the feeling of the first bolt of electricity. Thor flew down and caught the girl identified as Ember in the files he had seen. "Thou has caught thee Lady Ember, with great apologies should thou have felt the shocks," he said as he carried her down to the ground. "By the gods! You are certainly hot my Lady!" Thor exclaimed as he set her down. Though he had a greater pain and heat tolerance than humans, this girl even tested that tolerance. Thor looked up at Wolverine who was finishing two other minotaurs.
"Wolverine, it is good to see thou has not lost thee's playful spirit," he said as he flew up in the air with his hammer raised over the crowd. "For Asgard!"

Flying up through the hot sky, Diesel's toss in their FastballSpecial was enough to send him well past his target. Guess the kid doesn't know his own strength, or maybe he really wanted to plant me into these guys he thought as he braced his arms against his sides and flexed his biceps with anticipation for the impct. As he hit them his claws sliced them each with enough force to cleave them just about in half.
Three slices in each at just about their waistline and they howled with agony until they hit the dusty ground below. Looking as he sailed past Ember he said "Hey kid, looking good!" he could do nothing more for her at that moment than give her a boost to her confidence. His trajectory had him still going skyward. The apex of his flightpath some twenty feet above Ember's elevation.
From the dizzying height he took a look around. It was the moment that velocity left him, and as gravity seemed to for a brief moment have not yet taken effect on him he hung there with a sensation of weightlessness. He saw the portal open and the cavalry arrive. He made no sound, it was not his style, plus he didn't want to give them away.
Moments later as he began to plummet he saw Thor saving Ember, and a wave of relief fell across his heart. Good the kids gonna be alright. "Yeah, good for Asgard bub! Hows'bout me?" he called over to him as he began falling faster with each passing second. ~SNAKT~ he retracted his claws and reached out a hand "Little help there Thundergod?" he said as a request, not a cry for help....never that, but he didn't relish the idea of having to recover from the fall.

Thor held his head high, but nonetheless flew over to his long time friend. "Thou fights in the name of Asgard, but thou will help a friend in need for thouself!" he called as he flew and grabbed his heavy friend under his arms.
"Thee must be more careful where thou chooses to take flight," Thor said as he flew him to the stage not far from where he dropped the Lady Ember, a bit away from the sliced up minotaurs. "I see thou has not lost his touch," he added as he unceremoniously put him on the ground.
He lifted his hammer again and flew toward the crowd, the lightning from his hammer hitting some of the demons around the young couple in the crowd. "Thou can think of a much better setting for romance.

The minotaur's demons massive arms squeezed her tight, making her gasp for air. With her glazed eyes she saw Logan fly at the two charging demons. That gave her an idea surprisingly. She made her hands into fists and formed three long fire claws just like Wolverine had. Her heart beat rapidly in a swirl of emotions when he actually called out to her, not seeming mad at all like she expected him to be. Perhaps this isn't the time for anger.
Before she found a way to get them into the giant demon, the hold on her suddenly loosened as a deep voice filled the air. Aideen fell from his hold and gasped for air, trying to get control of her body so she wouldn't have a crash landing. The next thing she knew, she was caught by a man with Golden hair with... almost godly presence about him. She didn't struggle as she heard his voice. I know him, then again who doesn't know one of the famous Avengers. What is Thor, God of Asgard doing in Limbo? She sat up on ground and took a deep breath to steady herself. I call myself a warrior? I should know better than to allow myself to be nabbed from behind.
Her eyes lit up again in flames as she floated up on her feet, the fire claws identical to Wolverine's still sticking out. Aideen didn't meet his eyes as she floated back up in the air after he was dropped by Thor. "Sorry you gotta keep saving my ass. I should have learned by now to watch out for myself," she said in a robotic voice. Inside she was terrified as the feeling were now a serious threat of breaking through that wall she worked so hard to build. It was a weakness she could not afford and the demons were scrambling on the stage more and more. Aideen made the claws disappear and shot a beam of fire at a pair of demons that just climbed on stage. One screamed in pain and the other looked.... happy. Aideen made the beam more powerful and knocked them off the stage. That didn't stop the rest from coming up. At the corner of her eye, she watched the woman who held up a sword. This didn't look like it was getting better.

Meanwhile in the crowd of Demons....
Ian kissed Lorelai hard, her lips like a cool drink of water in hell. She had been in the back of his mind the entire time, him hoping that she was safe and praying to whatever god there was to keep her safe and let him get back to her. And now she was here in his arms in hell. He hated it and was thankful for it at the same time. "Aw Pipsqueak it's okay, I won't let you get hurt. You know I'll be okay but you shouldn't be here," Ian mumbled as he kissed her one more time to make sure she was really real.
"I'll get us outta here babe, don't worry. Just hang on to me. Wrap your legs around my waist and hold on, I won't let them touch you," he said with a fierce voice, meaning to keep his promising. This is my girl and ain't no one gonna take her away, he thought before he looked up to see flying figures overhead. "It can't be... BABE LOOK! It's THE AVENGERS! There's Ms. Marvel and Thor and look Iron Man! We gotta be okay now babe!" he shouted happily. He looked up to see Thor above them and shooting lightning down at the demons near them. "Hey uh Thor dude- I mean sir. You think you can give us a lift? If not me than at least my girl," Ian yelled up keeping Lorelai's safety on his mind. He had his fist up ready to pummel any demon that got too close. "Please?" he called.

"Oh god- " "Oh my GOD! AHHH, who ..Uh, who are you?" he said stammering with fear and experasion when Ms.Marvels took him up and out of the hands and mouths of the vile demons who were pulling on him and pushing their clawed fingers into him and biting his flesh and sucking the blood, and other parts of him. Some demons are lustful where others want to tase the meat of man, some want to taste the MEAT of a man, and this little boy would do for now. He clung tightly around her neck as she flew him over to the stage and the reletave saftey of the group on the stage there where he was now safe. "Oh oh - oh my god, oh. Uh, oh god. " and other mutterings was all that he could say. Naked for the most part he stood there shivering in the heat. It wasn't shivers of cold, or even from embarasment. Kevin was shivering from shear terror. His ass was bleeding, and shit and blood were running down the inside of his leg, and he was scratched raw and had been bitten and sucked on in places he would rather never have been touched by anyone other than a man he loved, or a doctor if he was getting a physicle. Up until now he had been a virgin, sexually expressive and curious about his desires and wanting to find someone to explore them with but up til now he hadn't done much moore than kissing and rubbing with clothes on. It was more than he was ready for, but standing there with everybody on the stage he suddenly became flushed red with great heaps of embarassment and grabed his semi stiff member as he crouched down and started to cry.

"Whoa, that Thor is quite a guy." she said to American Dream as she was looking at the Asgardian fly up and save Ember and Wolverine. A moment later and she snapped herself from her godstruck daze. "Oh damn, look at these wounds!" she said catching sight of Elixir. "I hope I'm not too late."
Tracy rushed to kneel at the side of the nearly dead and blinded girl. "Hang in there little one, I'm going to heal you. It's Tracy, from the Academy. We've come for you all...and we've brought the avengers with us. We should be home soon, please don't give up on your life, please hang on."
Oh dear, I feel her will to live is slipping away, despair and relief- I have felt this mix of emotions before. This girl is moments from meeting her maker. HeartString thought as she let her power to heal flow out of her fingertips and into the young chubby girl. Time was precious now and it was not possible for her to bring someone back from the dead, not on earth at least. There was no telling if Limbo would hold someone's spirit from passing beyond, but Tracy knew this girl's was close to taking flight.

Sniffling, Lorelai wiped her eyes with her arm while Ian spoke, and kissed him back just as hard as he had. Her arms were tight around his neck, though it didn't disturb his breathing. She had to get a grip on herself; she was with her boyfriend again and she knew well now was not the time to continue crying. "Still, and none of us should be here," she murmured back. She shifted herself so that she could clamp her legs around his waist the best she could, and nodded a little at his words. She trusted that he would keep her safe.
When he exclaimed about the Avengers, Lorelai looked up and turned her head around to see them flying around and helping them out. It gave her a ray of hope; now that she had Ian back she wanted nothing more than to get out of this hellhole. She saw lightning strike around them and looked up when Ian yelled up to Thor. "No, no you go with me," she said, shaking her head slightly. No I just got back to him again I won't let go of him where he goes I go. Not leaving him cause we need to get out of here, she thought. She had no intention of leaving him and she was determined to hold onto him with all the strength she had left in her limbs.

"Yes, he is something else." Shannon agreed. Seeing how the girl was moved to act she set her hips and scanned the crowd of demons. One in particular caught her eye. He was suddenly looking at her, and she met his glare without fear. She would try and make her way to him. You're my target...for now
A step toward the edge of the stage and then a flurry of metal caught her eye. Behind her almost, but not quite, her training by a blind man had done wonders for sensing movements and hidden attacks. That weird haired woman is about to kill that little girl, gotta- she spun and darted between D'mnchyld and the soulblade as it was slicing down. Sliding across the sandy surface of the stage she brought her shield up in time that the blade clanged against it.
EH!?! that was not even a hard strike at all she thought standing up with her shield in a high guard position. "Alright lady lay down the sword!" she said as she held her other hand behind her wrapped around the demon spawner's wrist to keep D'mnchyld safely protected

Mason got out of the portal less than stellar about that little cross over between dimensions thing. His mood didn't improve when he got stuck with the kid. He wasn't going to go against it though, he trusted Iron Man enough to know what he was doing. "Alright kid, your with me. You can make weapons with the dark matter stuff right? Now's you're chance to use it. Make a rope and hook and follow me," he said as he jumped down from the wall and onto a clear patch at the bottom of wall. It was a long jump that would have broken every bone in anyone else's body. Not Ironclad though, he had his name for a reason. It paid off to be immune to any kind of pain and injury. He landed right on his feet, the adrenaline rush from the fall now at it's peak.
"C'mon kid keep up! We got some demon's ass to kick," Mason called as he whipped out his guns. "Deadpool got nothing on me," he said as he began shooting at all the demons that started to come toward him. Dazzler and Decibel were not far away, but they could handle themselves. Some of his bullets hit their mark. The ones that didn't had nothing to do with his aim, but they bounced off the skin.
"Damn, I should have expected these shits to have a tough hide," Mason muttered before he started aiming for eyes as he covered the kid's back. "Hey Onyx, your missin' the party. Forgot your party outfit or something?"he yelled up.
