Sean looked over at Kate and smiled. She's a real sweet thing. I musta walked into a bad moment in the kitchen earlier. She looks a whole lot better since then. I got a bit scared when Guardian first took her out like that. No one deserved that, he thought as he looked at the girl next to him. "Well, I'm sure he really is sorry. We all do things we regret, many times we wish we can take them back. Good thing about life is that we almost always can find a way to make up for it," Sean said with another smile before he took the Geiger out of his pocket. "I'm the one that got us into this mess. I shoulda figured out not just how to get us in, but how to get us out too," he said quietly, finally settling that he was actually really scared. Pa taught me never to let my fear overcome me, but I don't think that Pa ever expected me to find myself here in Hell, he thought with a grim.
He turned the Geiger over in his hands and sighed. "Sorry 'bout gettin' you in this mess. I shouldn' have provoked that girl to getting angry. Sorry 'bout your arm too," Sean said glancing at the cut on her arm from the glass. Man it just ain't been this girl's day. I feel bad I added to it, he thought before checking the beds. "I think your safe from any critters though. I think they woulda made themselves known by now," Sean said with a small chuckle as he looked ahead for any sign of Cyclops. "I'm sure the other will be here soon. If anythin' goes wrong, well I'm not much but I'll do my best," he added looking around again and running his fingers over the Geiger.

"My arm?" K'8 thought out loud. 'What did he mean by my arm?'
"Uh, Sean I cut my own arms. I have problems." Then realizing he must have meant the cut from the broken glass bottle back in the lab D'mnchyld reached up to clutch her cheek. "Oh, you mean this one? The one I just got? The one that sent us here?" she asked TuneUp.
She slowly revealed it to him as if for the first time. "Does it look bad?" she asked, actually realizing for the first time she cared about this boy's opinion.

Scott Summers summoned the conviction of Spirit and burden of consciousness, he brought his strength of will to bear on his own ego and broke forth his perceptions from the confines of his narrow view of reality. Not his first out of body experience, but his most desperate... Standing, in his mind's eye, as a Lighthouse illuminated from within. Tall and on the top of a rocky cliff. A beacon, a call for contact, a longing...arms first and then tendrils of hope reached out... he... he had found... her...... EMMA FROST She was speaking to him and then a 'tap'. Another 'tap'-'tappity tap'. What is this---- "What's -this is?" Cyclops spoke as he was roused from his state, of astral projection as it were, he found himself in a daze. Confused, and deathly afraid. "What's going on Guardian?" He asked as he felt the urge to fall back to the cliffs and fought it off. "Hell Hounds!" he cried out as his visor scanned the area and he realized all too late what was bearing down on them. "AHHH! Stay low Kid! They are great leapers. Forget about trying to fly away these guys hunt demon hawks and carrion condor, they love to leap." He reached a hand up to toggle his visor and fire off a few precision shots, but underestimated his own hesitancy. The fear had overcome him "Oh boy." was all he said as he could only get off a single shot. He chose to save his student and shot the demon who was bearing down on Guardian. The other lunged at Scott and it was all he could do to get his hands up in time to grab the creature, preventing it from biting off his head....but only barely.

Guardian was glad his headmaster was finally awake. "Hell hounds huh?" he asked as Cyclopes blasted one of the creatures that tried to overpower Guardian. "Thank you for your selflessness sir" he said as the other creature leaped over to attack his leader. "But I have to say actions like that could get you killed, and we wouldn't want that would we" Guardian said with a smirk on his face as he grabbed onto the creatures tail, pulling it off of the Headmaster, and Chucked it at the other creature. "Are you alright sir?" he asked Cyclopes as Guardian awoke more from his intimidated state of mind, the creature's aura of fear faded from existence as Guardian stared them both down with his powerful yellow eyes, growling in defense.

Sean looked at Kate and felt even guiltier when he saw the small cut on her cheek. "Wow, I didn't even realize it hit your cheek," he said softly with a grim smile. It didn't look like a big cut, but it was caked with dried blood and dirt. "It don't look that bad, once you clean it up I'm sure it'll heal quick as lightning. I know from experience that cuts on the face usually heal up nicely and don't leave a mark unless they're real deep. Yours don't look that deep, so I think you'll be right as rain," Sean said with an optimistic smile.
He smiled at her kindly when he heard some kinda commotion going on from where Cyclops when and saw a flash of red light. "What in hell-" Sean said wanting to get up and go, but remembering that Cyclops told them to stay foot. "Somethin's wrong! It don't sound good, but I don't think it's a good idea for us to go out there yet. Cyclops said to stay put. We should go check it out if we don't hear nothin' in a bit though," he whispered to her, instinctively keeping quiet.

"I don't want you to laugh or make fun of me O.K.? I gotta say I'm scared." This had to be the most frightening thing young Katie Lazaro had ever been through. "So, please promise me you wont tease if I pee my pants, cause this is crazy!" She said staring intently down at the floor of the landscape below.
A haze drifting out obscured exactly what was happening with Guardian and Cyclops, this made things all the more intense for k'8. "We can't just wait here though. What if they need help?" she pleaded with Sean.

"Thanks Guardian, I was counting on you being there for me, that's what team-mates are for." Cyclops said as he stood and dusted himself off. The hell-hounds were untangling themselves as he said "You take the one on the left and I'll take the one on the right."

"And just where wilst ye be a takin' me poor wee hondies?" A voice crackled out of the throat of a demon. The sound dry as a husk, as he strode upon the scene, all ten foot of him. "You wouldst be wise to just lie thee down and be fed upon dont ye know, It will hurt ye far the less!" it hissed at the two mutants.

"UGH" Guardian gagged as he saw the disgusting appearance, "and I thought I was ugly, you don't look too healthy 'dontchya know'" said Guardian to the bland looking ten feet tall demon. "So you're hungry I take it" Guardian added with a smirk on his face as he dug his massive claws into the ground and tore apart a giant boulder from the ground and held it over his head, "Why not have a bite of this!" Guardian yelled out as he threw the massive boulder at the tall Demon that cast his shadow even over Aleksey's tall stature.
"Cyclops sir, I don't mean to be someone who won't obey orders, but maybe splitting them apart whilst sticking together would be a better approach given the circumstances, If we split apart, then one of us will have to take on two of them, maybe more if they pop out like these did" Guardian said aside to his leader standing side by side with him. "At least until we get some help on our side" he added as he kept his eyes on the demons in front of him.

Sean heard the commotion outside and began to get anxious he looked at Kate worriedly for a moment. Last thing I wanna do is have her hurt. I think it would be better if she stayed back for her own safety, he thought as he got up slowly to his feet. "Kate, I think you best stay back here while I go and peek to see what's goin' on. I won't be far you'll still see me," he whispered as he headed out of the shadows. Sean was pretty good at being sneaky since he used to sneak out of the house at all times.
He stayed in the shadows and blind spots as he walked over to see a real ugly looking demon coming toward Cyclops and Guardian. Sean's eyes widened in horror. This definitely ain't good, he thought as he shrunk back into the shadows quietly. He quickly made his way back to Kate and looked at her with wide eyes.
"Kate, do you got any metal on you? Chains, jewelery anything? They're in trouble and we gotta help," Sean said crouching down in the shadows with her trying to keep a calm nature to not frighten Kate.

k'8 didn't want Sean to go, but before she could say a word he was gone. Thankfully though he returned just as fast. "Uh, metal?" the question threw her off guard and she was at a loss for words. It might have been all the excitement, all the uncertainty that she'd just been through with her power and the journey into the realm where her demons came from, but it might have been more. When TuneUp returned to her she was so relieved.
"Oh sure I have some." She said and started to take off some of her bracelets and earrings, then she remembered the knife in her boot. Ordinarily she would never let anyone else touch it, but she wasn't sure if she really ever wanted to touch it again herself. Then she reached a hand down.
Stopping before she reached her boot she said "That's all I have, I think. Hope it's enough." She handed it over in a huge handful. "What do you have planned?" she asked.

Cyclops saw the giant sized demon catch the bolder with little effort. He took aim on the boulder as the huge monster threw it back at the pair of mutants. He fired a shot from his visor and a ruby colored beam blew the massive piece of rock into so much black chalky powder.
"Fall back to that cliff, I'll cover you." Cyclops said as he rapid fire shot a half dozen or more blasts at the hell-hounds and their demon master. Some hitting others missing, but the point was to keep them distracted and on their heels, unable to advance on them. "We have more than ourselves to be mindful of son, now Fall Back!" Cyclops held his ground, he would stand fast as long as he could and give Guardian a chance to get back to the other children and hopefully get them well away. He would be along as soon as he could, again he hoped.

Guardian got angrier as he saw the boulder being tossed back at them without any effort. The creature was as strong as he was apparently. Well at least I know one of his strengths Aleksey thought. "Retreat to the cliffs? Thats just fine and dandy with me I CAN FLY, but what about you?!" Guardian started walking back spitting balls of fire at the demons as they retreated a step at a time. "I'm NOT gonna take off leaving you to fight on your own, everyone will hate me for that, I'LL hate me for that" Guardian explained, getting more frustrated than before while shooting larger flames at the monsters.
Guardian felt himself being overcome with rage again. His glowing yellow eyes started to turn Blood Red just like the time in the kitchen. Anger flowed through him, enveloped him, became him. Smoke started puffing from his nostrils as Guardian started panting. He let out a massive ROAR in a completely different voice, deeper and more vibrant. All of a sudden a huge ball of fire shot out of his jaw at the three demons. This one was larger than the one that took out the kitchen wall. "MMM the power...the shear power..." he spoke with an intimidating tone crushing the stones beneath his feet.

Sean looked at the amount of jewelry trying to figure out if there was any way that he could lengthen those bits of metal enough. I never tried shaping something as big as a weapon with these bits of metal. I don't know if it will thicken out enough with only these as its support, he thought as he studied the good amount of jewelry. Sean took a deep breath and looked down at his belt buckle that he won at contest back home for making a car with his friend Michael. They won second place because the paint job was a little sloppy. The belt buckle was apart of their cash prize. He took off his belt bulk and weighted the heavy metal in his hand. "This'll do," he muttered forlornly before he dropped the belt buckle in the jewelry pile.
Sean closed his eyes and concentrated on the parts he remembered from his dad's gun when he took it apart. The metal pile thickened under him and his hands worked with his mind as he made the base, rings, chokes, extractors and other components. His mind revved up as he completed the gun by adding a full magazine. After several moments of moving his hands and shaping the rifle, he opened his eyes and saw an almost exact replica of his dad's rifle. Sean picked it up and tested the weight and his mind went through the functions one more time before he checked the full magazine.
He looked back at Kate and gave her a grim smile. "This'll have to do. Those things out there look like it might take more than a sword to deal with them. We gotta uses these shots carefully cause I only had enough metal to make one magazine," he whispered, putting the safety on the gun.

"Oh, your belt buckle- no wait." K'8 said but it was already too late. She had wanted to stop him from using his special possession, she knew from some silly movie she'd seen once about cowboys and their belt buckles and hats, she knew they held a special place in their hearts. Horses, hats, belt buckles and boots, and k'8 was pretty sure that was the order of importance for the items. She already could see he'd lost his hat, now it was his belt buckle and she felt terrible about not giving up her own precious possession. "Well, I hope you're a good shot then, cause don't belt buckles mean something for cowboys? It'd be a shame if you wrecked your buckle and that gun wasn't worth it."
She looked into his eyes and wanted to tell him about the knife she'd held onto, but she just couldn't say a word. Guilt had conspired with embarrassment to lock her tongue in her mouth on the subject. "Well let's get down there then" she said and started to climb out of the cave they were hiding in.
