JT asked as he appeared in a strange location. "Where the hell did you come from?" JT heard as he turned around. "You must be one of them mutant freaks." "What did you just say?" JT asked, turning around to see the old man standing there, cowering in fear. "I didn't say anything." The man stated backing away from JT. "Oh you said something and you are going to pay for it." JT stated. "You should have kept your mouth shut old man!" "What are you doing to me?" The man screamed as every fiber of his being was being torn from his body as JT used his powers against the man. "Ha ha ha ha ha!" JT laughed. "For anyone that tries to stand against me, let this be a warning to you!" "Oh my god! Look what he did to that man!" A little girl spoke as she was standing there watching what JT did. "Someone help!" "Shut up chile, no one can help you now." JT stated, floating over to the child and grabbing her in his claw made of fire. "You won't be running anywhere." "Mommmmm!!!!" The little girl screamed. "Quiet!" JT shouted. "No one can help you now." () "What! A sonic beam! Echo must be close by." JT stated, throwing the girl to the ground to her death. "No!!!!!!!!" Nick screamed, flying towards the girl to catch her from falling. "What are you doing here!" JT asked, phase shifting to the ground where Nick and the girl stood. "How did you find me?" "Stopping the two of you." Nick stated, as he grabbed JT by his shirt. "We know it's you Lou, you might as well stop now!" "Lou, I am not Lou." JT stated as he zapped Nick with a low-level magical energy blast. "Owww!" Nick stated, falling to the ground. "We will stop you." "In your dreams Nicholas." JT stated as his eyes turned red and he disappeared. "Guys we have trouble. He disappeared." Nick stated, tapping the communicator on his uniform. "Shocker though, he said he wasn't Lou." = Well is there any sign of the professor around there? = JC asked, speaking to Nick through the communicator. "No, has there been any word from the others?" Nick asked. = Not yet, what do you see around there? = JC asked. "By looking at the damage around here that he just created, he's getting more dangerous by the second." Nick stated. "I was just informed that he possibly killed someone." Nick stated. = What! = JC screamed. = He killed someone? = "I said possibly." Nick stated. "From what I was told, JT grabbed someone and their body caught on fire and disappeared. Looking at the ground looks like JT burned someone to death with those powers we saw him use earlier." = Oh my god. = JC stated "I am going to get back in the jet, locate him again and I will fly to him again." = Well do. Spirit out. = JC stated. // Melbourne Australia // "Where the fuck am I now?" JT asked, appearing above some kind of crowd. "Oh this should be fun." "Ahhhhhhh!" Screams are heard all around. "He's a mutie!" Someone spoke. "You!" JT shouted, as he searched the crowd of screaming people. "I heard what you said!" "I didn't say anything." The teen-aged boy spoke. "You called me a mutie!" JT stated, flying up higher in the sky with the boy in his clutches. "Psion! What are you doing?" Justin asked as he and Joey flew up towards him. "Stay back or you will regret it and so will the kid!" JT spoke. "I suggest both of you leave now or else." "Baby what are you doing?" Justin asked. "Why are you hurting people? Where is the professor?" "Ah the professor, hmm, I don't know, maybe he's still in Limbo with my demons." JT spoke. "Limbo!" Justin screamed. "With your demons! JT what have you done to him, you could have killed him!" "Well he got what he deserved for loitering around in my head, I told him to stop and he wouldn't listen." JT stated. "I don't like people lurking around in my head." "You put him in Limbo?" Justin asked. "Get him out." "No and I suggest you leave now before you join him." JT stated, eyes glowing red again. "Look at his eyes." Joey stated, floating backwards. "Let's move Justin, he looks bad enough, we don't want to provoke him, maybe he will put the kid down." "No he's not, he's going to hurt him, I can sense it." Justin stated. "You can sense what?" JT asked, throwing the kid in Justin and Joey's direction. "Whoa." Justin spoke, creating a telekinetic field to catch the boy in. "Are you okay kid?" "Yeah, I am okay, just put me down." The kid stated. "I hate you JT, I hope you rot in hell. I regret ever being your boyfriend. I thought you were better than this, I guess I was wrong." Justin stated. "I never want to see you again. I want you out of my life." "Have it your way." JT stated as he faded away. // Limbo // `Someone help me, please, I am in danger, I need help.' Professor X called out with his mind, hoping someone would hear his telepathic cries. `Sorry Charles, no one is going to help you here." JT stated, appearing as a psychic image. `Just so you know, your telepathic powers are limited here in limbo, my power reigns supreme here.' "Why are you doing this to me Psion?" Professor X asked. `To teach you a valuable lesson about using your powers wrongly.' JT stated telepathically. `Maybe next time you will think before you scan. Have fun Charles. My demons, lunch is now served.' "No!!!!!!" Professor X screamed as an opening appeared close to him and winged-creatures flew out. // Atlanta, GA // "Okay I don't see him, but the computer tracked him to this place." Lance spoke. "I don't see him either." AJ stated. "I think we should all just go home and leave him alone. From the way he's acting, he doesn't want to be around us." "He's not himself, he's Lou, or that's what Justin and JC believe." Lance stated. "If we could find the professor he could tell us." "Can't that Jean lady help us?" AJ asked. "No, she's not as strong a telepath to track down JT." Lance stated. "Who can track him down?" AJ asked. "Only God knows." Lance stated, turning around to see a blinding flash of light as JT appeared with Tobias and Tigersbane. "We got here before he did?" "I don't think so, I think he might have been hiding somewhere around here and just decided to make himself seen." AJ stated. "So this is where you wanted to be Tigersbane, what's so important about this place?" JT asked, throwing her and Tobias down on the ground. "Why are you treating us like this?" Tigersbane asked. "How would you like me to treat you?" JT asked, floating down to her and grabbing her by the hair. "Maybe I should treat you like the bitch that you are!" "Stop that!" Lance stated as he and AJ ran over to them. "Hmm, I see Channel and Tattoo want to play too." JT stated, raising his hands. "Cadra Madra Zoon!" "What did he just do?" Lance asked as he and AJ stopped moving. "I don't know but I don't like it." AJ stated. "Stop it man, why are you doing your friends like this?" Tobias asked. "Maybe they are not my friends." JT stated, walking over to Lance and AJ. "Maybe they are just figments of my imagination. Zoon!" With the last word spoken again, Lance and AJ faded away. "What have you done to them?" Tobias asked, running to where AJ and Lance stood. "Where are they?" "Who knows, I don't." JT stated, turning around. "Now that we are not being disturbed, you can tell me what the two of you have in connection with each other." "We are not connected." Tobias stated. "You must be if she interrupts them while they are trying to question you, you seem so important to her, as if you were related to her." JT stated, eyes glowing as he touched Tigersbane then Tobias. "I can see it now." "What are you doing to me?" Tigersbane asked, screaming. "Why don't you tell me and Tobias the truth now." JT stated. "What truth?" Tigersbane asked. "The truth you are hiding about your identity." JT stated. "I am not hiding anything about my identity." Tigersbane stated. "He knows who I am." "On the contrary, he doesn't know who you are, you are just some strange black woman to him." JT stated. "Just tell him who you are." "Fine." Tigersbane stated. "Tobias, you are my adopted lost brother." "I am not lost." Tobias stated. "Yes you are. Your mother, whom my family took in a few years ago, died and left you with us. After everything surrounding her death had settled, my parents got custody of you." Tigersbane stated. "That's not true, Setterwynd is my mother." Tobias stated. "No she isn't, she's just an old witch that killed your mother and gave me my powers." Tigersbane stated, spinning around in a circle and changing back to her true self. "What!" Tobias screamed. "You look like...like Beyonce, Beyonce Knowles from Destiny's Child." "I am." Tigersbane stated, walking over to Tobias. "I came to find you after she had erased your memory of everything that had happened over the last few years." "Why?" Tobias asked. "Because she wants your power." JT stated. "And now she will have it!" "No!" Tobias screamed. "Stay away from me Psion. Why are you trying to hurt me when just a few days ago you were trying to protect me?" "Funny how things work out like that." JT stated as he walked closer to Tobias and held up his hand as his hand transformed into a claw. "What are you doing?" Tobias asked. "In order for Setterwynd to get your powers, I must first kill you so that they can flow into her." JT stated. "I think not buddy!" JT heard someone shout as he was blasted with a beam of energy. "What the hell!" JT screamed. "Who the hell are you?" "Call me Vigilante!" The man shouted as he zapped another beam of energy from his eyes at JT, this time missing. "Hmmm, let's see what we can do about you." JT stated, floating up into the sky. "Let's try this out for size. Fight you must, win you won't, take what is of value so that you can be removed." What those words spoken, Vigilante falls to the ground. "What's happening to me?" Vigilante asked. "Let's just say I don't have to worry about you anymore." JT stated as he turned his back on the man and walked away. "Someone help me." Vigilante screamed. "No one can help you now." JT stated, turning around and waving his hand as Vigilante was thrown against a nearby wall and knocked unconscious. "Psion why are you doing this?" JC asked as he, Nick and Brian approached him and the others. "If you are not Lou, why then?" "Come on man, we know you don't want to hurt us." Brian stated. "Kev is that you?" Nick asked, walking over to Vigilante, not getting a response. "Bri, come quick, I think this is Kevin." "Kevin? What is he doing here?" Brian asked, flying over to Nick and the man lying on the ground. "Baby look, it is him." Nick stated, pulling the mask away from Vigilante's face. "Oh Kevin, he hurt you." Brian stated as he created a force field around the three of them. "I will keep us protected from him." "How are we going to stop him? "Now he has that woman and Tobias." Nick stated. "What are we going to do?" "I don't know." Brian stated, tapping the communicator. "Computer set up medical lab for an unconscious victim." "How are we going to get him into HQ if he doesn't have a communicator?" Nick asked. "I will give him mine and I will fight the computer if needed, she should be able to detect my DNA to know it's me." Brian stated. "I hope so, I don't want her to fire at you like she did Bobby." Nick stated. "Are you going to be okay with JC?" Brian asked. "Yeah, just as long as JT doesn't do anything that my power can't handle." Nick stated, kissing Brian passionately on the lips. "Well I am going to get Kevin to the jet and get him to HQ." Brian stated. "Baby be careful." "I will baby." Nick stated as has body started vibrating and he flew off. "Come on Kev, let's get you some medical attention." Brian stated, creating a magnetic field around his body and floating away. // Limbo // "Someone help me, help me please!" Professor X screamed. "Demons stop!" Shade spoke as he appeared next to Professor X. "Leave this human alone." "Who are you?" Professor X asked. "I am Shade, how did you get here?" Shade asked. "Psion put me in here." Professor X spoke, holding onto Shade. "He's gone mad." "Are you able to walk man?" Shade asked. "No I am not, Psion dropped me in here knowing that I wouldn't be able to run to protect myself." Professor X stated. "What did you do to piss him off?" Shade asked. "I didn't do anything. He's been possessed by a demonic being and he's not in his right mind." Professor X stated. "We need to get back to Earth as soon as we can to stop him before he kills innocent people." "That's going to be hard to do, so far there are only four beings that I know that can open portals into Limbo, and so far Psion is the only one alive." Shade stated. "I will get you to the castle and hope that provides protection for you until we get you back to where you belong." "How do you protect yourself from those demons?" Professor X asked. "I have the power to manipulate shadows." Shade stated. "And I can sometimes phase through solid matter." "Why doesn't my psychic powers work here, but Psion's powers does?" Professor X asked. "His power works here because he's the ruler of Limbo." Shade stated. "Have you noticed that when he's here, this place looks lovely, but as soon as he leaves, it turns into this shadow-like darkness?" "I noticed that, why is that?" Professor X asked. "Limbo reflects Psion's emotional state. If Psion is sad, this place looks like this, if he's happy, it looks like it does when he's in here." Shade stated. "What are you doing Shade?" JT asked as he appeared in Limbo with Tigersbane, and Tobias. "Why are you here in the castle?" "I'm sorry sire, I was trying to get this man to safety." Shade stated. "He wasn't meant to get to safety." JT stated, blasting Shade with a cosmic energy beam. "Sireeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!" Shade screamed as the beams of energy wreaked havoc on his body. "Psion stop this madness!" Professor X screamed. "You can't give orders here." JT stated, floating over to the Professor. "You are nothing here." "I am your friend Psion, I have always have." Professor X stated. "Tell it to someone that believes that crap!" JT stated, you have a just a mere moment to get away from here as fast as you can, before I do to you what I did to Shade." "No Psion please." Professor X pleaded. "Your time is up!" JT stated as his eyes started glowing then he fell to the ground. "What's going on?" `Baby hear me, please listen to me, I love you.' JT heard Justin's voice in his mind. "Justin, Justin where are you?" JT asked, eyes glowing brightly. "I can't sense you, where are you?" "He's probably on earth." Professor X stated, thanking his lucky stars that JT snapped out of it. "I can't sense him at all!" JT screamed. "Your powers are not strong enough to search from Limbo." Professor X stated. "Yes there are. I can communicate with any being from here. My powers are magnified 100 fold when I am here." JT stated. "I should be able to find him." "That's impossible Psion." Professor X stated. "My powers barely work here." "Remember Charles, this is my domain, I rule here. I am power supreme here. All power here flows into me." JT stated. "Hmmmm. I didn't know that." Professor X stated. "You should have." JT stated. "When Illyana was around here, she possessed all the powers of Limbo through the Darksword." "Yes the Darksword was the totality of her powers." Professor X spoke. "I once possessed the Darksword too, but it has passed on to another host." JT spoke. "I must find Justin." "Psion please don't leave me here again." Professor X pleaded. "Fine, I suggest in the future you know your place when using your psionic powers against me." JT stated as he raised his hands and he and Professor X faded away. // Orlando, FL -- X-Sync HQ // () "Justin, Justin where are you?" JT screamed as he and the professor appeared. "There he is, attack!" Brian screamed, creating a magnetic energy field around JT and grabbing the professor. "I got the professor." () "What do you fools think you are doing?" JT asked, raising his hand, sending Nick flying across the room. "Second wave attack now." Brian screamed. "On it." JC stated, wrapping JT up in his telekinetic powers. "I got him, but I don't know how long I can hold him." "Hold him Jayce, I will create a ring of fire around him." Joey stated, flying around JT. "Stop this!" JT screamed, sending Joey flying against the wall and causing JC to start screaming in pain. "What are you doing to him?" Nick asked, flying back over to JT. "I am protecting myself from you guys!" JT screamed, raising his hands toward Nick, sending him flying across the room again. "Something's wrong with this, why isn't he fading away to escape?" Joey asked. "Why isn't he using his other powers against us? Seems like he's only using his psychic powers against us." "Because it's JT, the real JT." Justin stated, flying into the room. "Justin, there you are. Why are they attacking me?" JT asked, fading away and appearing next to Justin. "Baby you have done some very bad things within the last week." Justin stated. "The last week? What do you mean the last week?" Professor X asked. "You have been missing for a week." Justin stated. "I have only been gone for a couple of hours." Professor X stated. "Sorry, wrong answer Professor, you have been gone for seven whole days." Justin stated. "Can't be, only a few hours passed in Limbo." Professor X stated. "Don't you know? Whenever you are in Limbo, time passes slower there than it does here. You might have been gone for a couple of hours there, but here time continued to move like normal." Justin stated. "How do you know that?" Professor X asked. "Because it's true." JT stated. "Time passes more quickly here than in Limbo." "Yeah what he said." Justin stated. () "What the hell!" JC screamed as Setterwynd appeared in the room. "Hellion show yourself." Setterwynd stated. "Hellion is in the medical bay in stasis." Joey stated. "I'm right here." JT stated, walking over to Setterwynd. "I knew it. So where's JT?" Justin asked. "Oh he's in here, he just can't speak right now." JT stated. "So you took over his body when he touched you?" Justin asked. "You figured it out." JT stated. "He tried to silence me with his mind, but instead I was able to take control of him and defeat him. What a fantastic defeat it was." "If you've hurt him..." Justin trailed off. "You'll what, you can't touch me, I am in your beloved body, using his powers against all of you." JT stated. "There's nothing you can do to me without hurting your precious Psion." "I knew something was going on." Joey stated, walking over to Justin. "I think he's been under Lou's control for a few months, ever since we fought him the first time." "Right you are Mr. Fatone." JT stated. "It was just a matter of time before you all figured things out." "So what was the plan anyway?" Justin asked. "I needed Tobias, Tigersbane and Chris to help me reconstitute the Animal Spirits." Setterwynd stated. "What's the big deal about these Animal Spirits?" Lance asked, walking over to Justin. "Silly fool, the Animal Spirits are the Guardians of the undead." Setterwynd stated. "Haven't you ever heard of the wise tale that the cats watched over the dead?" "Yeah I have heard of it, but it was just a myth." Lance stated. "That's not a myth child." Setterwynd stated. "Wildcat, Tobias, Tigersbane and Psion all possess the powers of one of the Animal Spirits, and with them we can use that power to open the gates of Hell to do what I want." "I will never do what you want." Tigersbane stated. "You don't have a choice child." Setterwynd stated as JT walked over to her and touched her forehead. "Now you are under our control." "This doesn't look like a winner guys." Justin stated. () "Oh yes it is." StarChilde stated as she appeared in the room. "Things are going back to normal as of now." "It's that woman that helped me." Justin stated. "You are dead Gwendolyn Setterwynd, you are not supposed to be here in this time." StarChilde stated. "I am going to put things back right now." "How are you going to do that?" Justin asked. "Hellion has taken control over Psion's body completely." " All things done can be changed." StarChilde stated. "I have been monitoring all of this since Psion supposedly went to OtherWorld and wanted answers about the Animal Spirits from Merlin." "You cannot stop me girl, you are just as timeless as I am." JT stated. "You forget who I am Hellion, I am not an ordinary being like the others you have faced in the past, I am immortal and eternal." StarChilde spoke. "You can't inhabit Psion's body for much longer, I know and you know that if you don't carry out your plans soon, he will regain control of his body and you will die." "I will not die." JT stated. "As long as I can silence his mind, I will be able to stay in control of this body." "Who says you can stay in control?" StarChilde spoke as her eyes started glowing and Psion's body fell to the floor. "StarChilde what's happening to him?" Justin asked, wanting to run to JT's body, with Joey holding him back. "Psion is fighting back." StarChilde stated. "He's been fighting back every chance he got, but he's been too weak to fight for long." "How do you know all of this?" Justin asked. "I can sense when Psion is in control." StarChilde spoke. "He's in control now. He needs our help." "How can we help?" Justin asked. "This way." JT stated as his body caught on fire, revealing the bird of fire that surrounded his body a few days ago. "What is happening?" Professor X asked. "He's taken on the Phoenix Force again." `Help me please.' JT spoke telepathically to all of his friends. `I don't know how much longer I can hold on.' "Baby I hear you." Justin stated. "What can we do?" `Help me stop Hellion. I don't have enough telepathic power to push him out of my mind.' JT mindspoke to them all. "Josh, help me." Justin stated, grabbing JC and the two of them flying over to JT's body. "What are you doing?" Joey asked. "Saving him." Justin stated. "Josh help me get into his mind." "Are you sure Justin?" JC asked. "Yeah I'm sure." Justin stated, eyes glowing like JT's eyes would. "I know what to do." "I hope so." JC stated, connecting hands with Justin and the two of them levitated with JT in the center. "Hurry Justin, I don't know how long I can stay connected to his mind, Hellion is fighting me." // JT's Mind // "Hello baby." Justin spoke. "Justin, oh Justin I am so happy to finally see you." JT stated. "I'm sorry baby, I thought this was you, I'm sorry for all the things I said." Justin stated. "It doesn't matter. All of you probably hate me anyway." JT stated. "Now that we know what's going on, we don't hate you, at least I don't, I love you baby." Justin stated. "I got to help you fight him." "I can't fight him, I don't have enough power to fight him, I have been fighting him all this time and I lost, he has trapped me here within my own mind." JT stated. "Well me, Josh and your friend Cassandra are trying to stop Lou, he's not going to get away with any of this." Justin stated. "Cassandra is here?" JT asked. "Yes she's out there in the real world where you belong." Justin stated. "Where is the professor, I know for a fact that Hellion dropped him into Limbo. Is he okay, is he alive?" JT asked. "Yes the professor is alive. He's also around." Justin stated. "Thank god, I thought he would have perished at the hands of some of Limbo's demons." JT stated. "He's okay as I know, right now we got to make you okay." Justin stated, grabbing JT's hand. "Josh is holding off Hellion as we speak, I need to help you get past Hellion's barriers." "How can we, with your mind and mine, we still can't stop Hellion." JT stated. "Yes you can." StarChilde spoke as she appeared next to Justin and JT. "I have frozen time and space, you two need to do what's possible to stop him and then I can take things from there." "Is there a magical spell you can say or something to push him out of your mind?" Justin asked. "Not that I can remember." JT stated. "Look there, it's Hellion." Justin stated. "Maybe if we kill him in here, we get rid of him." "Maybe it's worth the chance." JT stated as he and Justin both ran towards the image of Hellion. "Die!" "Your time is up Lou." Justin stated as he and JT created psychic manifestations of their power and destroyed the image of Hellion, causing things the things around to change. "What's going on?" "I think my body is trying to adapt itself to this." JT stated. "Get out of here Justin." "But baby." Justin stated. "Get out of here, you don't belong in my mind." JT stated as things continued to change. // The Real World // "Guys Hellion has awakened." Brian stated as he came running into the room. "He's trying to break out of the stasis field." "So if he's in his body, then it worked." Justin stated. "JT are you okay?" "I am not JT, you are wrong." Hellion stated, speaking in JT's body. "If this is Hellion, then JT's in his body." Justin stated. "I think this is all a trick." Brian stated. () "Get out of my body!" JT stated, speaking in Hellion's body. "You have violated me way too much." "Stop Psion, let me help." Professor X stated, touching Hellion's forehead. "It is done." "Professor are you okay?" Justin asked as Professor X fell to the floor. "I am back in my own body again." JT stated. "Okay Cassandra, do your stuff." "You got it." StarChilde spoke as she started glowing and Hellion, and the body of Setterwynd faded away. "I hope you guys can patch things up." "I don't think they want me Cassandra." JT stated as he faded away. "No!!!!" Justin screamed, as StarChilde faded away too. "Where did he go?" "I don't know Justin." Brian stated. "I think we all owe him a big apology." "Damn right you do." Justin stated. "He left because he feels we hate him. He just told me that just now." "Well how were we supposed to know that it wasn't him?" Lance asked. "We are his friends, we should have known something wasn't right." Justin stated. "You know as well as we do that isn't a easy task with him, he's just strange." Brian stated. "He isn't that strange." Justin stated walking away from them. "Justin where are you going?" JC asked. "To find my boyfriend." Justin stated as he got outside and flew away. NOTE: Alright guys and girls, this is it for the Animal Spirits Saga.
