Shawn watched in awe and apprehension as the ice started to take over all of the mansion. He tightened up his muscles and hit one of the icles. The ice shattered, 'This is going to be easy to get to her.' he thought; however the ice just reformed and knocked him backwards about five feet. "OWWW!" Shawn exclaimed getting up. 'maybe not.' "This should be interesting." Shawn said getting to his feet and walking back over to all the others. "Well lets get this party started." he said smiling and looking around at everyone to makesure that they are ready.

Walking through the hallways, trying to find her room, a cold shiver was went down Aurica's spine. Just at that moment, she felt the temperature drop, and when she breathed, she could see her own breath.

...Should it really be this cold inside the mansion?

Aurica started looking around when she saw some ice coming down the stairs. With a confused look, she tilted her head a bit, wondering why ice was forming inside the mansion. She turned her head, only to see one of the other students get trapped inside ice the second his foot touched the ice. Right when she saw that, Aurica started running in the opposite direction, trying to escape the ice. She kept constantly looking back, see the ice creeping closer and closer.

"Oh my god! Somebody help me!"

Aurica looked up at the ceiling to see the ice almost above her head, and she was too afraid to look behind her.

I have to calm down....if I don't calm down, I can't use my powers properly. Happy place....Hap..

Aurica looked behind her and saw the ice right behind her. She quickly turned her head back around trying to calm herself down while shouting so loud half of the people in the mansion could probably hear her.

"HAPPY PLACE! HAPPY PLACE!"

Ali watched as ice began forming and spreading out over everything form the floor, the walls and even the ceiling. She didn't like the cold and so she created a heat barrier around herself. Not hot enough to burn anyone or anything but warm enough to keep from being touched by the ice. This started out as a good plan until the ice continued to try pushing closer to her. Ali increased the heat around her which only made the ice push back more.

"I hate ice!" the fire starter shouted as an aura of flames and increased heat errupted around her. This seemed to work better as the ice was now being held at bay. That is until the ice shot up around Ali and her flame aura. The ice completely encased her as if she were in a cocoon. Glints of light from Ali's flames managed to escape the ice giving off an eerie look.

(OOC: Anyone that tries to break Ali out please don't succeed. She'll get out on her own in a very violent manner. Just thought I'd add more destruction. )

Nika watched as ice started forming and covering everything. She jumped up on an old desk and continued to watch. Protrusions of ice from the ceilng and floor met with one another forming larger shafts of ice in different angles. "I can break this stuff."

The cat girl was still charged up from her scuffle with Iris. Nika charged off at one of the pillars of ice. Her breathe was clearly visible as the temperature dropped. Striking the pillar with her superpowered fist caused the ice to crack in mutliple places but it didn't break. Nika punched it again and more cracks crept through the ice formaton. "What the heck is this stuff made of?"

Shawn started to get entrapped in ice as well. His feet were slowly being covered in ice. He delivered one single punch to each foot and moved around; however the ice seemed determined to stop him from doing anything. "Anybody know whats going on with the ice?" Shawn asked sticking himself into a wall to hide from the ice. Thinking out loud Shawn said, "Since this stuff is alive i can't go through it like i would normally be able to because its acting like its alive."

He sat inbetween the wall for a little while when he saw Raven Fire get covered in a caccoon of ice. He jumped out of the wall and ran over to her and began hitting the ice with what ever he could get his hands on. He then formed a sledge hammer out of his powers and started to hit it with it. Shawn seemed to be making some progress; however every other time he hit the ice it would reform. The ice eventually fought back and rapped him up like he was trapped in a human eating plant with vines attached to it. He then tried to get out of it but every time he did he the ice vine squeezed tighter around him making it harder and harder to move and breath.

(OOC: If you try to help me don't win because this will help my character increase in stamina and strength.)

Michael watched in awe as the ice crept out and began attacking people. Metal man was the first to be attacked, but managed to fend it off, then fire girl was caged. As metal man went to free her he got trapped also.

He shivered, feeling the cold biting at him. Nika, Mettaliar and the guy who caged Iris we’re still free along with himself, but for how much longer? “Ok, anybody got any ideas about what to do? Metal man and Nika are the strongest and Shaw’s already gotten trapped. Fire girl I thought would be of great help, but she’s been iced up.”

He wasn’t sure what to so, his mutation was no help here as the Ice was engulfing people and he couldn’t block that like he could the blasts of water and mud earlier. Also his mutations didn’t make him immune to the cold and it was getting very cold in here. He really hoped someone had something that vaguely resembled a plan to get out of this.

Aurica, still running away from the ice, was trying to use her telekinesis to lift herself off the ground. Well...let's just say it wasn't working like she wanted to. She got a serious look on her face, though she was still scared.

"Okay, god damn it! That is it! There has to be somebody around here who is calm, or anxious, or even angry!"

Going left and right, jumping up and down, Aurica was running through the whole mansion, trying to find someone's feelings which she could channel into her own powers. She got even more nervous when her foot got caught in the ice. She quickly took her shoe off and tried to run, but then her other foot got caught. Aurica closed her eyes because she thought it was over, but in that split second, she felt someone angry about being frozen.

"Ha! There we go!"

Aurica quickly tried to channel the student's anger into her own powers. As the ice crept up towards her neck, she finally got it channeled enough to cover her head, making the ice go around her telekinetic shield. Soon afterwards, she crept it under the ice which surrounded the rest of her body, and then expanded her shield, destorying the ice surrounding her. She took flight so the ice couldn't in case her anymore. Aurica then took a look around, seeing how the hallway she was in was in cased in ice.

"I gotta find someone. I can't be the only one who wants to try and stop this."

Aurica started flying towards the direction in which the ice came from. While getting closer and closer, ice would jettison out from the wall, trying to pierce through her body. With a quick wave of the hand, she was able to move them just quickly enough so that she would get little cuts on her arms, but those cuts were better than being pierced. Finally when she thought she got to the source of where the ice came from, she saw four students who weren't trapped in the ice. She floated towards them.

"Hey! Do you guys have any idea what's going on?"

Mettaliar had noticed the tempature start to drop. He sensed something was wrong and then saw the ice. He poked at it with his staff. Suddenly the ice charged at him. He got hit in the stomach the first time out of shock. Then he started to dodge them and fight them off. He saw all of the people around him began to be caught. He hit the ice away and avoided being trapped. He tried to help brake the ice and free the others, yet the constant attacking ice didn't let him get too far. He knew he needed to get Iris outside before the whole mansion froze over. He threw his staff at the ice and quickly made a large battle ax. Along with that he began to make knives and throw them at the ever attacking ice crystals. He suddenly saw Michael become trapped and swung at the ice braking it. He didn't have time to see if the ice would freeze over again and rushed to the wall trying to tear it down. He constatly had to stop and fight the ice off. He knew it would take a while.

"Dammit Iris! Come back to us!" he yelled out of frustration. He hated having to fight these things off and got annoyed already. He began to tear that wall down and fight away the ice. He caught a glimpse of Iris and was forced to fight his way to her.

Shawn was still trapped in the vine of ice. He was still struggling with the ice when all of the sudden he realized that he could even slip through this by focusing extrodinarily hard on being permeable. He then concentrated adn slipped out. Just as he got out the vine snapped from a sudden tightening onto itself. Shawn then punched the ice and it shattered into even more pieces.

Shawn heard Zelek yelling and flew straight towards him. He stopped just short of Zelek and waited to hear what he had to say. Shawn then waited for everyone to get there and he took this time to catch his breath and thing about what just happened to him. The cold was starting to get to him; and because the temperature was dropping his form was starting to solidify instead of being its normal semi-ghost like form.

Shield saw the armoured guy repelling the ice and began to make his way towards him. As he had yet to make any threatening move towards the ice it hadn’t attacked him as it had the others. He walked very slowly so as not to slip on the ice.

Once he reached the circle of non-ice around the armoured man he looked at him and the ghosty fellow next to him. “Whatever it is you’re doing, keep doing it,” he said rather unhelpfully, “I hope you have a plan guys, cos I got nothing and my power’s no help.”

Mettaliar noticed some of the ice next to him disappearing listening to the man speak. He knew all of that and continued to plow through the attacking ice with his ax. It was good that he kept his trenchcoat on at all times so that he wouldn't get cold. He got to Iris and kneeled down near her fighting off more ice that was surrounding her.

"Hey!" he called to the ice destroying guy as Mettaliar picked up Iris slowly. "Help keep these things," he continued nodding to the ice, "off of me. I'm heading to the danger room as planned and locking her in there. We may sort out plans from there, yet for now just sheild me." He immediatly dashed towards them and continued to run. He had dropped the ax and instead made a small hatchet. He wasn't strong enough to carry both Iris and the big battle ax, so instead he made something smaller for the same purpose.

The cold was trying hard to contain the fire and heat Ali was creating. At the moment she was only keeping it from closing around her further so the fire and ice were at a stand off. The only way the others could tell Ali was still alive was the eerie glow that flickered within the icey coccoon. The only problem with this was it was making Ali furious.

While she maintained her stand off with the ice she thought of how she could get out as well as maybe push the ice back. She thought of focusing on a point of the ice and melting it with a focused stream of heat, but that wouldn't be fast enough and the ice would probably reform. Then a thought burned its way into her mind like an ember with a gentle breeze blowing on it causing it to become more and more brilliant. It would be fast and with her current mood it would also be powerful. With that combination she hoped it would not only free her but push back the ice.

The fire starter focused on her power. She concentrated on the fire that burned with in her and the heat it produced. It was tough to do while keeping up her current defense, but she had to do it. Ali hoped someone was a mind reader so they could tell the others to move away or take cover. Maybe they'd get the hint if they paid attention.

The outside view of the ice coccoon gradually started to change. The flickering light from within grew more and more rapid and bright. The force that was being generated inside was starting to make the ground rumble. Soon the flickering light became a solid bright light as if the sun itself were inside the ice. Cracks in the ice began to zig-zag all over the frozen tomb that held Ali. That would be the sign (if any of the others were still around) to hide.

With a great explosion the ice surrounding Ali burst out like a frozen bomb. The intense light that the fire girl was creating filled the room and reflected off the ice covered walls, floor and ceiling. The light was accompanied with immense heat as the aura of flames around the red haired woman flared out. All of the ice with in a growing radius around Ali started to melt rapidly. Each time the ice would try to reclaim it's threshold Ali would push harder to drive it back.

"Nunh..." Iris mumbled; she could feel every attack made to the ice, though not the full force. With every hit it would creep a little more over her body, although only a few centimeters at a time. Most of her pain was gone now; she couldn't even feel her ankle anymore.

Also she could hear everyone's voices amplified through it. She thought she recognized two of the voices, sort of. One of them she still couldn't put a name to though. But why did they sound so angry? Still warped, her mind wondered what all the fuss was about....

She was vaugely aware of being lifted, and felt some of the ice break away from her body. The arms that held her were warm. She didn't want to be warm right now; warmth meant the return of pain. Ice continued to form over her, wrapping her in a stiff blanket of sorts, making her slippery to hold onto, and heavier in weight.

Abruptly heat flooded her senses, connected as they were to the ice menace. Feeling it as pain, Iris hissed and her body convulsed, then curled up. Her body wrapped itself again in a thicker shell to protect her.

The chill, lifeless menace refocused its efforts on those that were the most threat to its creator; the one creating the heat, and the one hacking away, and dragging its creator away.

Spikes of ice shot out of the frozen walls in front of Mettaliar and formed a cage grate, cutting both him and the others in the group off from the rest of the Mansion, effectively trapping them in the hallway. It reached out for him, trying to wrest its maker from his grasp.

Behind them, the ice fought its best against the fire-maker. It's walls began to thicken, expanding as quickly as possible, trying to press in close enough to put out the fire. It made an awful hissing noise as it melted and evaporated, then reformed, to press in again.

The ice continued it's relentless fight against Ali. The hissing of the rapidly melting and reforming ice was getting to her as well. She had managed to get a foothold as she maintained a good sized area and kept the ice from recovering the space. Ali could see the others were still around and also trying to fight the ice. One of the guys was trying to take the crazy girl somewhere but his way was blocked off.

"I've had enough of this!" Ali shouted. Her angry and fury were visible as the flames flared out when she shouted.

She began focusing once again but as she did so she pulled back her defensive barrier which allowed the ice to once again creep forward. Ali was still hovering but she curled herself up in a ball. This helped her focus her power more for what she was going to do. The ice continued to push against the now less powerful barrier surrounding the fire girl.

Once again the power that Ali was using caused the flames around her to brighten like the sun. No one could see her form within the light anymore as it grew ever more intense. The heat also began to rise once again but much more quickly than before and much hotter. Finally, Ali spread out her arms and legs as she released her built up energy. This time it was much more like some sort of plasma bomb. Ali yelled as she let out her explosive power.

The concussive force behind the blast literaly blow the roof off the building in the section of the mansion where the group was at. The walls also blew outwards into other rooms and hallways. Following the blast wave were random streams of fire striking anything in their path. Any ice that was hit vaporized and the surface it had covered was charred. The icey cage that blocked the guy holding the insane girl were shattered. The flames and heat continued to push outwards to envelope the ice which had been trying to do the same thing to her.

Shawn watched everything that happened and got very worried about the fact that they were caged in. He turned around just in time to see the fire girl blow the ice away from her. He extended his arms in front of him and created a shield his hight and width to block any of the ice shrapnel from hitting him.

He felt the concussion of when the fire girl burst through all the ice and was pushed backwards. Shawn saw the cage melt away and he dropped his shield; however, he soon realized that there was more shrapnel coming at them. Shawn started flying in a tight circle around everyone that was near him and formed a shield. He was still outside of the shield he created (which he wasn't sure was thick enough to protect everyone inside it) and was hit with quite a bit of the shrapnel before he could create another shield for himself.

Shawn pulled out a lot of the ice that was in him and dropped the shields and rested just above the ground to pull out more ice. As he pulled out the ice there were holes in him which hurt really bad; and he quickly filled in the holes with more of the silver. After he did that he got back up and went to see if they had a plan yet. "Hey fire girl come over here please, we could use you!" Shawn yelled to her. "So any ideas yet on how to beat her?"
