She [i]had[/i] been trying to help Mary - but there was only so much help you could give to someone who wouldn't accept it. Mary had pushed them all away, had refused to take steps to make her situation better, instead relying on isolation and a fraying sense of control. But Guin couldn't help but feel guilty - couldn't help but feel Chrysi's words as an indictment. She was going to have to kill her best friend. 

	She was going to have to kill her best friend because she had failed to save her. 

	Words weren't going to work here. Chrysi blasted at them with fire, and Guin blinked, feeling the air whoosh past her as Pietro grabbed her, pulling her out of the way. Ed managed to shield some of the others, but not everyone - some of their group had burns covering their bodies. He then placed Chrysi inside of a bubble, and Guin bit her lip, before extending her hand out - out to [i]Rogue[/i]. [color=cc33ff]"We need another telepath,"[/color] she said. [color=cc33ff]"Try not to absorb my mind, will you?"[/color]

[hider=Roll Request]Guin is going to attempt to telepathically stun Chrysi, and get Mary back in control. She would ideally do this in junction with Rogue and Annie.[/hider]

She did not know her uncle's whereabouts, but she refused to believe that he could be incapacitated by any means. He was far too stubborn to be defeated so thoroughly. This lead her to the conclusion that Loki had heard her message, and elected to ignore her. So she shut her eyes once more, and whispered the spell again, casting a second and final message out to her uncle: [i]I would hope you have not elected to ignore me, Uncle. I would owe you a boon, in exchange for your aid. But perhaps you lack the skill in magic that I seek.[/i] If a bribe didn't work, perhaps offense to his ego would. 

	Ben raised an eyebrow, hearing the description of the device. It was fireproof, but seemed about as delicate as a porcelain doll to him. From an imperial space regime, he expected better. But that was perhaps his own father's arrogance rearing its head in him, and he clenched his teeth. He didn't want to be like him. He didn't want to look down at everyone else in the world as inferior. 

	Avery followed with the others into the chamber, their eyes widening as they took in all of the machines and designs - before their gaze settled on the one they had come all of this way for. It was some sort of a laser, taller than they were, and they couldn't help but be reminded of something Doofenshmirtz would build, only for Perry the Platypus to come and destroy. They half expected Xandra to reveal the device was called the Phoenix-inator.

	[color=f26522]"Maybe you could do more with the portals than just extending the range,"[/color] Avery said softly, looking to Max. [color=f26522]"If you set up a series of portals, you can effectively split and multiply the beam - and make a web, or a net."[/color] It'd be easier to handle the Phoenix that way - an area of effect, then, rather than just one single shot.
