Still shaking a little, Shimmer tried very hard to calm herself down and become still. She listened to the instructions flying about and thought hard on her own, she wasn't going to let anyone down this time, she wanted to help. first off the Danger room session where she had very poor results, then of course there was the first attack where she had done more damage than help. but not this time. she looked up at Heartstring as she took her hand and shook her head. "Yes, i'm a shapeshifter. And no i want to go, i want to help. But...uh...this might be safer..." she said clearly, before draining herself of colour again and gripping tight to her hand, making sure that she knew she was still there and had not left. "I wont let anyone down again..." she mumbled to herself.

Sometimes it was a bit much to feel peoples emotions, not so bad as it was in the beginning when her powers were brand new to her, but Tracy still couldn't get over the fact that what she was doing was really an invasion of privacy. It was not her fault though, she would prefer to not know how people felt sometimes. She often fantasized about asking someone how they were feeling and them lying to her, and her not knowing it was a lie. Truth be told though, she would miss the closeness she felt from people.
At this very moment she felt so close to Shimmer, the welling up emotions in the young girl were as real as something HeartString could touch or taste. 'These are the emotions of a hero, emerging out of this child. Stirring with uncertainty and putting her own fear aside to help others, wow how incredible to be here for this moment' Tracy thought. She couldn't help herself, she bent down a little and pulled the invisible girl into a hug and whispered "I am so proud of you! You're gonna do just fine."

"Colossus man, you are one brave sucka I give you that!" Gina grinned and then kissed her lucky pick and counted off "A one-two-three-FOUR!"
With a stroke of her arm she brought her pick down across the strings and a scream of heavy metal thunder rocked the area out front of the school. Her power she was wielding to amplify and focus the sound of the guitar and then, with some effort, she pushed it harder. She folded the sound around her, the snow around them scattering in lines of force, and sent the sound energy straight at Colossus.
It lifted him into the air and with that she broke into a wicked riff on her strings and wah-wah bar. The sound hurtling the massive Russian forward and upward, fluttering like a leaf on the wind. He was heavy and dense, but Gina could feel and see the sound-waves as they flew into him and resonated across his frame. She amped the sound even more, trying to push it into and through him, hoping to straighten out his flight path as she let loose with a smokin' guitar solo that any Iron Maiden fan would have bled from the ears for. It worked, but she wasn't sure how much it hurt old Petey to do that to him.
Ending her flurry of notes she looked at him as he sailed off like a cannon shot, leveling out and pointing just to the right of the flaming area of the woodline. "Wow, that was almost perfect." she said in amazement. "That was like just about exactly where I was aiming for!" she said excitedly. Turning to see HeartString crouching down and hugging nothing she shook her hair around and said "Damn girl, you are weird. Hey, where's the kid?"

At the scene of the accident....
Landing hard with a thud after the explosion threw her from Stoney's grip, Machete groaned in agony. "Uhhh, I think I broke my everything." she said rolling onto her back and throwing the frosting coated hair out of her face. "What the hell happened? Kelly? Did you make this pink shit? It smells like berrys! Oh god is everybody alright?"
She sat up slowly, rubbing her shoulder, and looked around at her friends. "Hey you guys alive?" she asked. She saw Inflict looking like he was alive and getting to his feet. 'Oh- thank you, god' she thought, but Stoney wasn't moving and Kelly hadn't sat up yet either.

Standing up slowly he swayed a little on his feet and staggered a step or two to catch his balance. Looking at the accident he was amazed at the massive destruction that had occurred from these two vehicles smashing into each other. He looked around as he heard Machete's voice and answered her saying "I'm living baby, glad you decided to stick around too."
He smiled and it would have been an adorable picture, him all covered in pink icing and grinning drunkenly, except for the flaming twisted metal behind him as he looked at his girlfriend. He took a step toward her and his knees gave out from a combination of fear and adrenaline overdose. He dropped to his knees and looked at her reaching a hand out, then he saw his friend Stoney.
He was in a bad way. It looked like a huge twisted chunk of flaming bumper or something had wrapped itself around him. Chester was not moving, and Inflict couldn't be sure but it looked like he wasn't breathing. Norrison's arm dropped to his side.

Kelly was buried in a pile of snow and licked the pink frosting from his lips. "This needs sprinkles," he announced and sat up brushing the snow out of his hair. "Aw man! Now my hair's all wet. This sucks," he said fixing his hair and getting the frosting out.
Rose's sexy ass looked alright, and Inflict's drunken grumpy self looked alive, so Kelly moved on to look at his backpack, which was covered in frosting and snow, and his jacket had a bit of frosting too. Miraculously the envelope pinned to he lapel was unharmed. "Alright! My envelope isn't ruined!" he cried happily and looked around for his friends, the smile faltering when he saw that huge flaming bumper wrapped around Stoney. "Aw man that's not cool," Kelly said and looked at the bumper, turning it into a huge chunk of chocolate. The flames were melting it rather quickly.
"Alright! Chocolate!" he cried and sat up, wobbling over to Stoney and scooping a big soft junk of chocolate and stuffed it in his mouth as the rest of it melted. "Oooo look at it all flamey and stuff. You want some Stoney before it all melts?" he poked his friend as he ate some more chocolate with a silly grin on his face.

Stoney was nearly out cold, his mind swimming through images of beer and breasts and then out of the middle of it a strange thing happened, he smelled chocolate.
"Uh?" he grunted as he pulled his head up out of snow and pink frosting and looked back over at Kelly Burns. "I feel like a freakin' Smore." he grumbled under his breath. Chester must have been hurt because he rarely spoke, and that sentence was more words than any of them could remember him saying in a row ever.
He started to push himself up as another explosion went off in the wreckage. Chester's hand slipped in some melted chocolate as he managed to catch sight of Inflict's body flying over him and landing in the snow a few feet away.

Vladimir ordered the car to be stopped and stepped out of it to look at the ruined truck. He began cursing heavily in Russian. "<These stupid bastard children! Driving like retarded blind morons!>" he yelled and looked at the va. Boss will not be happy with this. One of the shipments is lost as well as two of the men. At least they were nothing more than foot soldiers, he thought as he surveyed the damage.
With a wave of his hand, he ordered the rest of the men to move on. Let the idiots fend for themselves. But to get rid of any hard evidence... Vladimir nodded at one of his men who dug something out of his jacket. He climbed back into the car and proceeded to drive to deliver the other half of the shipment. Meanwhile the man that Vladimir nodded to took out a high powered grenade and pulled the pin, hurling it out the window right into the exploded trucks, causing an even bigger explosion and disintegrating both the trucks into pure rubble and junk, as well as the two bodies of the men who were driving the truck.
Vladimir just smiled now that there was no evidence and they drove down to the town, proceeding to the marina in one of the Great Lakes. They had a bit of a drive, hopefully without more idiotic moments.

Just above....
WHOOSH[/i]
The ringing in Colossus ear amplified when he ran through the air just passing what looked like the source of the explosion. He felt the sting of the wind go off his metal form and felt the odd mix of the heat from the explosion and the chilly cold wind as he sailed over the site.At least her aim wasn't too off. But that tree is about to get a severe beating, he thought just as he collided against the tree, feeling the dents from the impact and his whole body vibrating from the hit and still from Decibel's music.
KABOOM
He heard the noise just as he hit the tree into the ground with pieces flying everywhere and the air filling with debris."Ahh I know I did not hit the tree that hard,"Colossus groaned when he rolled over, the loud ringing still in his ears as he saw another explosion on top of that one. That is not an accidental explosion.... no that sounds too professional and high tech. This ringing in my ears isn't letting me find out. Thats what I get for wanting to get here quick, he thought as he watch the other cars and vans drive off. Colossus slowly got up to his feet and felt the dents clear out in his metal form.
He walked over slowly and looked around carefully, trying to decide if the area was a threat with all the debris in the air. Once he was sure that it was relatively non threatening, he called out, "Hello?! Is anyone there?"

Back in front of the mansion...
Not breaking the embrace Tracy looked at Gina and said "We're having a moment here, do you mind?" then hugged the invisible young hero for a moment more before a second explosion brought her to the reality of the situation. "Shimmer." she said as she broke the embrace and still clutching tight to her hand she said "You ready?"
The emotions of pride and excitement were hard to miss emanating from Decibel and she finally said to the rocker girl "Who do you think I'm hugging? The 'kid' is a shapeshifter, she's invisible and very brave for coming with us."

"Oh! Well yeah she is, who don't know that?" Gina shook her head as if to say ' D'uh HeartString-you stupid whatever ' but she did it so cool that it was not obvious.
"So, did you two see that shot? THAT is how it's supposed to go. Can't wait to tell Stoney, he's gonna flip." She said with a giggle in the back of her throat.
"WhooHoooo!" she hollered "Let's get a move on girlies we got a metal man to catch up with!" And with that she started to run at a near full out sprint, the only thing keeping her pace down was her guitar. The way she figured it, the two frilly ones would just have to keep up as best they could.

Gripping Heartstring a little tighter as she heard a second explosion go off, she tried to calm her breathing and focus her mind again. 'Come on Torri, get your act together, this is no time for you to be scared. You were scared in the Danger room, and you were scared going against mystique, and look where that got you! Come on girl, you know your better than this, think back on all them fights you had to be in back home, you ot through tem and you will get through this!' she growled inside her head, snarling her teeth without being seen and taking a very deep breath to calm her breathing to normal. "Yes Heartstring, i'm ready. Where do i need to go." she whispered slowly, looking around her and straightening herself upright again as she lookd over toward Decibel, an unseen smile on her lips.
"Yes, i saw, im impressed, but im not suprised, i'm no where near that good at controling my shapeshifting, your lucky. But still, im impressed." she said quietly, pulling Heartstring wth her held hand over to Decibel slowly, "Come on, i want to help, what can i do!?" she said quickly looking between the two girls then back to the scene, still a little worried about the fire, but not trying to worry about it too much.

As Katana approached the front of the school from the stable, she heard some horrbly loud noise, almost like some perverse kind of music, that made her clutch her ears, followed by a second explosion. The music confused her. What is this some kind of bizarre drill. I am so not in he mood, she thought. No, a drill would not help. A real attack might. It would give her a chance to slip away unnoticed or..., she left the thought unfinished smirking at where she was about to go. As the situation stood, she needed to be careful, to bide her time, and to figure things out.
It was with these thoughts in mind that she walked out to where she saw Heartstring standing, put on her best smile, and said in an eerily cheerful voice, especially given the circumstance, "What's happening?" Since she didn't know Decibel, or what to make of her, she ignored her for the most part, just giving her a slight nod in greeting.

"Whoa you hear music?" Chase asked Kyle as they were just about to go out the front of the mansion. They had got hung up inside due some huge amount of luggage and boxes and furniture in the foyer. He could have sworn that outside was a caucophony of sound, and he liked it.
"Maybe that light's just a bonfire and there's a huge kegger goin on. I like the music, very heavy!" He shoved the front door open and said "Damn it's cold out."
He had worn a jacket, but it wasn't the best for an extended stay out doors in this temperature. At least by the fire it would be warm. "Look some girls ahead they're running too, it must be a party!"

Jumper followed Chase out of the school and he saw the girls that were here. He recognized Heartstring and Katana. Then he saw a new girl he did not recognize. "Hmmmm I do not think it's a party. At least not yet. I'm not there." He chuckled as he looked around trying to figure out what really was going on.
He heard the music and was impressed, it was loud and hard. Though it wasn't his type of music. So trying to put things together he saw Katana looking around. This new girl he didn't know with a guitar. Heartstring and the glowing light still off in the distance. "So who wants to tell us what is happening?"
