Specter had just enough time to raize his arms and release his ecto blast before the two giant stone hands crushed him. However the conction from the blast and debrie from the exploding rock did take its effect. Stumbling back alittle Specter felt blood trickle down the side of his mouth. Spitting out the blood Specter glared at his opponet.
"Oh boo-hoo cry me a river Rocky. I know a girl who killed her parents when her powers first emerged. Everyone has their own little sob story. What makes you think I give a damn what yours is. Honestly if you had an ounce of talent you could have over come me with a hoard of rock golems by now. Instead you run around throwing temper tantrums and crying like a bady."
Specter was done playing with this guy. Raising his arms he shot out an ecto blast to ether side, but instead of firing off into the distance the energy began to form and shape itself into two crude human analoges. Once formed these energy beigns pressed in to attack. The power to create them, the concentration to keep them formed, and splitting his focuse to keep them moving independently ment that Specter was no longer physicaly able to keep fighting. This didn't matter however Rocky had trouble dealing with one soild Specter. Two energy creatures that could be molded however Specter saw fit ment that this fight was over. The only thing left was for rock boy to call uncle.

Geo glared at the arrogent punk as he yapped on about Geo's past and calling him a cry baby. All this kid was doing was fueling Geo's anger. The left side of Geo's upper lip curled into a snarl. He would have yelled out at the mutant but he wanted to bottle the anger...use it to get back. The combonation of Geo's lowering level and conciousness and heightening level of anger was extremly dangerous now.

The mutant shot out several beams next to him that took the form of two human like apperitions. Geo did something that he had learned in practicing at the sanctuary. He threw up both of his arms and sunk straight into the ground. Almost instantly the ground rumbled for a moment and then ten foot craigs shot up into the air for a block radious. Geo sat witin the ground his eyes closed and his face peiceful. From down here he could sense every thing going on around at the surface with vibrations and react to them with his earth manipulation. In this status Geo's powers were completly in control, his consious had no more control then a fly on a man's face.

(occ permission to skip me once)

Specter let his energy puppets drop. There was no point keeping them going with his opponent underground. What was going to be his next move? This guy just wouldn't quite. Specter had thrown blow after blow at this man, and still the human rock wouldn't stop. Specter could pumale the spot where his opponent had dissappeared with his ecto blast. However this would end up waisting to much energy without any garantie of working. The ground started to quake as if he was sitting on a fault line during the big one. Specter knew that if he didn't do something soon the entire city block would crumble in around him. After all New York had never been built to handle earthquakes, and Specter was surprized it had survived this long with such minemal damage.

Just as he was thinking this Specter heard the grind of straining metal off to his right. As he turned to see what was happening a fire hidrant burst sending a collum of water shooting into the sky. At first this didn't mean anything to Specter, but as the water began to rain back down upon him he noticed a suddle change in the way the ground was shaking. Before he could feel the rage, and anger in the way Rocky had been controling the quake. Now however Specter thought the shaking felt more like fear. It was almost impossible to tell the diffrence, and Specter almost thought it was just his imagination. Still there seemed to be something going on below his feet that he just couldn't place.

Geo's body sat in the ground, no sign of discomfort or even conciousness. Anyone none the wiser would be saying he was sleeping but Geo's mind floated uslessly within his body as it continued it's relentless attack on the surface continued. There was a slight shake in the ground that Geo felt but dismissed it as nothing. Then there was a loud crash on the surface that reached Geo through sonic waves in the ground.

He continued his attack bellow when above water was spewing out of a fire hydrant, slowly pooling in the crack where Geo had sank into the ground. Slowly the earth began to moisen, turning from dirt to mud. A small bead of water touched Geo's forehead and his brow twitched, his mind instantly snapped back...water. Geo quickly began sprawling in the mud the water was pulling his body down but he used all his powers over the dirt to push him up. Finally a hand reached through to the surface and he pulled himself up. Upon breathing fresh air Geo let out an audible cough and rolling over onto his back. His bare hands were still touching the ground causing the ground to quiver around him still beyond his control.

And yet through all this Hades sat perched on the first story balcony of a nearby building. The soft gentle night breeze did not disturb him, nor did the faint chatter from the occupants of the buildings around him. In real-time he was analyzing all that was happening below him. Although truth be told it was not all that gripping.

Had he so wished, I mean not to be proud or anything but both of them had missed at least a dozen opportunities. Ah then gain they each had different styles. But at least we now know that Geo had difficulty controlling moistened earth, but Hades was sure that that weakness could be overcome with training. As for Specter dropping his guard? Hmmm well…

Inwardly sighing to himself Hades resided himself to keep watching the fight.

Specter saw the rock guy's hand come out of a crack in the ground, and quickly raised a flaming green hand. He wasn't sure what was going on, but seeing as the only thing that had changed resently was the water he bet that had something to do with it.

"Stand down man, the fight is over. I do not want to have to waste my time killing you. However if it does come to that I will not give it a second thought."

Specter kept his hand trained on Rocky ready to blast him if he tried to do anything. The stone mutant however seemed out of it. Almost as if he was scared to death. With the ground still shaking however Specter thought that this could have all just been an act.

"I would suggest you leave. You could have never beaten me in the first place. Now just go home, and if I ever catch you doing this again I promise I will not hold back."

Geo pushed himself up on his elbows and slowly pulled himself to a near by bench that was partially intact. He pulled himself onto the bench and the ground stopped rumbling. The other mutant began rantig about how the fight was over and how Geo should go home because he could never win. Geo rolled his eyes.

"No s**t sherlock, I kinda got the hint it was over when i could barely move." He spit out a mouth full of blood and wiped his lip. "I'll leave when I'm damn ready." He shoved his hand into his pockets and wrapped it around his cigarettes. Pulling them out he saw they were completly destroyed he swore loudly and threw them to the ground. He glanced over his shoulder towards the alley where his car was along with more cigarettes, he wanted to get up but he didn't have the strength.

Hades nodded at the ingenuity of turning soil into mud, that was a weakness of Geo that was filed away, also filed away was a brief rundown of the strageties and tactics used by each of them.
Seeing that Specter has obviously won this round, Hades afforded himself a slight smile. He was still sat comfortably on the landing one story above ground.

*Ah, ah. Predictable, predictable, the slightly arrogant response from Specter and the cocky response of Geo caused by his slightly bruised ego. It was the age old classic movie scene.*

Ah well at least the young ones had not hurt each other, he got up stretched and prepared to get going.

"That so smart ass? The way you have been fighting I thought you might still want to naw at my heels. Good to see you finally decided to calm down."

Specter still wasn't sure what was going on, but atlest the fight was over. Keeping his fist trained on the guy just incase this was somehow an act Specter had to wonder what had set off the rock man in the first place. Even more important though who was this guy? Was he one of the many students that Specter had yet to meet? As Specter was thinking about this he noticed a glimps of movement out of the corner of his eye.

"Not planning to leave already where you Hades?" Specter might have forgotten that their fight was being watched if it had been any other mutant, but there was something about Hades. Specter had expected him to jump into the fight at any moment for any reason. However Hades had simply stayed back and watched, learning the two mutants fighting styles. It was a good stratagy, and he probably had learned alot about he rock mutant. Specter though hadn't taken the fight seriously. It had been a joke from first punch to last. Sure Hades had now seen Specter's powers in action, but Specter would never be so careless in a real fight.

((OCC: Sorry I haven't been around much lately. It's just been one heck of a week, with no signs of getting better.))

(ooc: are we waiting for Geo?)
