Cerebro went flying backwards. Landing on the ground, his eyes remained open and unblinking. As he lay motionless.
Her eyes matched the flames that surrounded her.
She was no longer in control. Her emotions and power took hold. She strayed from thought and time.
Pushing her hands forwards, a large fireball hurled through the air. Nearly missing a boy in his pre-teens. The boy phased through the building as it sailed through the air. What little students were outside now had made themselves scarce.

cerebro's body layed on the ground like a statue in the midst of grass and fire. but his mind was locked inside red's, which was a vast contrast to what was happening outside. where the roar of intense flames and the shattering booms of exploding fireballs was causing the students to paninc outside, inside was as quiet as the grave.
cerebro stood in the middle of a brown barren wasteland with a black sky. "red!" no answer. "where are you, red?" not getting an answer, he bagan walking in a straight line ahead forward. were this the astral plane he would know where she was and could get here instantly, but since this was inside her own mind a whole different set of rules applied. as he walked he began creating mental shields to protact him from a telepaths natural defenses. ones the acted like white blood cells would against a foreign cell. after several minutes of walking he found red curled up in a fetal ball on the ground. but she was not alone.
locked in combat in the sky above her was to creatures of mythic size and scoop. one was a bird made of silent, cold flames, the other appeared to be some man-beast that snarled and leaped about slashing what appeared to be three claw extensions from its paw/hands.
cerebro was a highly skilled telepath who was trained by the most and second most powerful psioncs in the known history of the world. he had been in countless minds under countless circumstances and has reached the point where nothing could astonish, amaze or shock him. the other thing that cerebro was not pron to do was curse. but this awe-inspring sight that looked like it stepped out to the mythology of a lost world provoked a rare occurence.
for the only thing he could say as he stopped in his tracks and stared at the sky was, "bloody hell."

The large phoenix begain to move and shift with in her mind. As what cerebro now could plainly see was a very fereal wolverine. His claws tore at the flame that made it's shape.
Her firey red eyes cought sight of two students coming out of the manison. One she knew all to well, Gabriel.
Performing a backflip in mid-air, as soon as her feet touched the ground, she rised her arms crossing them at the wrists. Then with a jerk she brought them down, just like her father, three long claws shot from her hand. Coming out at the knuckles. But her's was completely made of flmaes. She stared at him, the wind from the heat she was giving off, blew her red and black hair around.

Gabriel motioned to Kira to get back into the mansion. She ran back into the mansion. It was just him, Red, and an unconsious cerebro there. I didn't want to hurt her, he figured cerebro was in her head. He had to distract her.
He slowly walked towards her. "Red. I don't want to hurt you." He said, as he willed a rag, with chloroform in it. He stopped as he saw the claws she had. "Come on. I'm ready for you."

She charged towards him, leading with her flamed claws. Jumping high in the air, she kicked the rag from his hand. Coming down quickly on him, she extented her claw. Aiming for his head.

Kira decided to try and keep the other students inside so they didn't get hurt in what might happen. She stood in the doorway watching the scenario unfolding in front of her.
She got a little freaked out but tried not to show it. 'Be careful,' she said to herself. She wasn't really sure what was going to happen but she couldn't look away from it.

Gabriel turned his head away from her attck, her claw going into the ground. "Sorry Red." He said as he made a punch to her stomach. He then slid out from under her, knowing that what damage he had done, was healing. He hated what he had to do next, but he willed a dagger in his hand, ready for her next attack.

The flame claw disapeared as they touched the ground. His puch knocked her backwards but she was able to land on her feet. Flames begain to spark from her eyes. Jerking her hand once more the flame claws came to life once more.
She lifted herself high in the air, staring down at him like an ant. Gathing her powers a large fireball apeared in her hands.

Gabriel looked up at her. He couldn't will anything that would block her attack. He dropped the dagger and looked up at her, in the eye, hoping Cerebro would stop her before she cast her fireball.

She hurled the fireball at him. Performing a backflip still in the air to avoid the dagger.
The fireball hit Gabriel square in the chest, she watched as he fell backwards. Seeing that, her mind worked harder to free it's self from it's mental prison.

Gabriel lay sprawled on the ground, his chest searing with pain. "Come on, finish me off!" He managed to yell at Red.

She lowered herself towards the ground. Walking slowly towards him. Her flame claws extended. Standing over him, a small tear fell from her eye, giving him a hint that she was winning this war in her head.
She pulled her arm back, thursting her claws towards him. And just when they where inches away from his heart, she collapsed on the ground. Her eyes closed. The flames that surrounded her were gone as well as her claws. She lay unconscious beside Gabriel.

Kira watched what was happening in horror. She had seen a lot in her young life, most of it directed at her, but nothing what she had seen Phoenix do to Gabriel. She watched the fireball hit him in the chest, heard what he said and saw Phoenix's reaction.
Kira watched her collapse and knew the danger was over. She stepped out of the doorway and walked over to where they were laying and started calling for help. She just hoped someone heard her because she knew they needed help that she wasn't able to give. She heard people screaming all around her but was lost in memories of her abuse.

Running to Kira's side, Wolfgang placed his hand on her shoulder, "It's okay, I'm here." He said as he picked up Gabriel "Come on Gabby, I've got you." Placing Gabriel's arm over his neck, Wolgang was passed by Colossus and Cyclops as they also came running to help. "Pete grab Cerebs, and Scotty, help Red over there." Wolfgang said. Running over to her, Scott knelt down and rolled her unconcisous body over and was astonished by her resemblence to Jean. He picked her up, and followed Peter and Wolfgang into the mansion's infirmery. "Hank, it's bad."Wolfgang said as he helped Gabriel on a chair. "What happened?" Beast said as he started checking Gabriel's vital signs. "I'm not sure exactly, all I do know is Red went whacko with the Phoenix force and all hell broke loose."Wolfgang said. Hearing that, Scott looked at Red more intently. "In that case."He said, "Better strap her down before she wakes up." "Good idea." Hank said as he went and reteived the restraints.

Gabriel looked up at Wolfgang. "I've had worse." He said to him, just before he coughed up blood. "I need a drink." Gabriel said under his breath.
