"I wasn't bothering in asking, it was as clear as day that your an idiot, so come one you want a fight try us." He says his hands glowing darker now as he grew to ahte this newcomer his powers would hurt them more.

Faust sighs softly and looks at the offender uninterestedly. "Why must everyone want to kill? Shadow, it's useless to ask questions. He's obviously the victim of some king of mental retardation... Maybe we should just put him out of his misery and be done with him."

On a normal occasion Faust wouldn't have been so cold, but he sensed that this one had no hope of being dissuaded, nor would he let anyone he saw escape. The only options that would be left were fight or run; both things that Faust was good at. "Well my friend, if you must fight to live, your life will be your end."

And with this line, Faust took on a white-hot glow for a moment, and his form was replaced in an instant by that of a black knight, clad in lustrous, black armor with gold highlights. In each hand he wielded a beautiful, yet wickedly curved blade with a gold blade and black handles. The grip of each blade was a perfect contour ant each hand-guard bore the form of a dragon's wing. The helmet had two horns of beautiful obsidian jutting straight back in a cork-screw, and a beautiful black-and-gold dragon wing protruded backward from the jaw-line on either side.

This form was truly a magnificent, yet menacing sight, and was meant both to inspire awe and to intimidate. None of it was anything more than light compressed into a laser barrier, but that energy alone would be enough to destroy most matter... That is, if Faust wanted to expend that much energy. To destroy matter with nothing but pure energy, especially en mass, would end in Faust killing himself... Though it was a good last resort.

"Well, my warrior of the dark..." Faust turned his light-armor clad head, with it's glowing red eyes toward shadow, "Are you ready to do anything in your power to protect the people? After all, we may not be heroes, but even anti-heroes protect... though they generally don't play by the rules."

Faust's voice was cocky, though his face was grim. The blades were neither sharp, nor were they burning with the heat of a sun... Faust didn't actually want to kill this enemy. While he held no infatuation with this blight of the name 'mutant', he still held life in high regard. He was a scion of light, and under his dark facade he was still a good guy, if not slight rebellious.

"Oh please don't hurt me." He said extremely sarcastically then laughed and stuck out his tongue, not meaning to taunt them but because it was an unusual thing that he did. "Unless you're willing to die." He sighed then moved his hands behind his back and when he brought them forward he had his fists closed as if he was hiding something in them. "So who's gonna attack me first." He pasued "Because if one of you don't attack i'm goin' straight for Xavier." He paused again "And you don't want that do you?" He said in a fake sad voice then got a sadistic smile on his face.

Shadow muttered something unintelligble and suddenly, everything around them changed, the trees were gone, replaced by...Sentinels, Shadow stood smiling in teh void he created. "Illusions hurt when I create them have fun with my puppets." He says standing back, his both of his arms and part of his chest were glowing now.

Demetri jumped slightly when she heard the maniac type laugh. She wasn't sure what caused her to make such a bold move, when she was obviously a paranoid, jumpy, shy person. Either way, something made her blood boil and she quickly moved towards the scene that was take place,water dripping from every surface as she passed it. "I've lived in the dark for most of my life, I'm not about to be locked away again. If you kill Xavier they'll lock us all up, I'm not going to let that happen to me again, nor to anyone else." Her voice was dark and dripped with ice as water started to seep up from the ground.

"They've been trying to lock me up for a long time. They've done it. But i'm not your average human, i'm barely human at all anymore. Physically I have a few human traits but mentally i'm crazy, insane, whatever you want to say." He laughed psychotically "I enjoy pain, I enjoy killing, I enjoy blood, it's all fun to me." He laughed again "And the worst part is noone finishes me. I just keep coming back. The places for the insane just make me crazier, jail and places for criminals just make me want to fight more and when i'm out here, I just do whatever I want." He laughed again "Most people don't like to kill or hurt others but I like to inflict as much pain as I can them finally finish them. If you don't finish me quick enough, you'll all die. Like I said I just keep coming back." He said then look at one of the sentinels "I'm so sorry you can't feel what i'm about to do to you." He then charged at him with his claws ready.

"Stay back, my Sentinel illusions will hurt him, I doubt they'll beat him, in which case we can fight him." Shadow says, the darkness seeping down him, he fell to his knees, this was the biggest illusion he made, it was corrupting him...no it won't, he will survive. The darkness slowly receded to his arms, however tehy were covered by it, Shadow's face showed he was in pain. He looked angrier now as well, and teh darkness came back over some of his body, but only anger was in his face and eyes now. "ATTACK!" He yells at the illusions, they all open fire at once.

OOC: Its kinda like a telekenetic attack, in that your mind inflicts the damage.

OOC: Would it actually do damage if he's insane? Because if it's mental and he thinks he won't be hurt does that mean he isn't hurt?

IC: Ivan ran at the sentinels finding any weak spots he could and destroyed them as quickly as he could. He managed to dodge a surprisingly large amount of bullets but got hit by some. (If they do damage) He was bleeding from the shots he took then looked at the rest of them "I will kill you now!" (If they don't) He laughed as he looked back at the group "Thanks for that little warm up. But why give me the advantage?"

OOC: Good point, if he's too insane to feel pain then yeah the illusion would be in fact useless, his eyes would see the sentinels still though, and see the beams being fired at him.

Shadow smiled now. "Perfect, well then I can safely say I hate you more than Pyro, not good for you it means my darkness will affect you pretty badly." Shadow says he brought the darkness into his hands and sent blasts of it at Ivan.

OOC: These are like black balls of energy similiar to Cyclops' optic blasts, only through the hands and they're more powerful when Shadow truly hates someone. sorry if its godmoddish, but with how insane your char is he'll probobly only be hurt a little/shrug off the attacks.

OOC: Basically any mental things don't work on my character. That's why Xavier can't really stop him.

IC: Ivan got hit by the shots but they didn't hurt him much. "If that's all you've got this is going to be vert boring. At least I can get to Xavier quicker though. But sadly he should be easy too. I mean he is just an old guy in a wheel chair. Now to get back to this." Ivan faked moving one direction then jumped towards Shadow with his claws out.

Shadow spun out of the way, his hands glowing again, he slashed at Ivan's back with his katana and sent another blast at Ivan.

"Well if that's the way you wanna do things then that's what you'll get." He said then put his finger on his chest. He took in a deep breathe then began slowly making a diagonal cut across his chest. He put his hands onto the blood and covered his hands in the blood and looked as if he was washing them. "This is gonna be fun." He said then grabbed some dirt and looked at it for several seconds before throwing it at Shadow. Ivan made a large jump towards the school building and dug his claws into the wall then managed to smash through a window. He waved at them then began walking towards where he thought Xavier would be.

Shadow spun again (god he's gonna get dizzy) and looked up, he started going up the building through shadow's on the wall. "Hey, is that the best you got?" Shadow asks somewhat dissapointed.

"No of course not." He said then laughed "I just want to finish Xavier first then have a bit of fun killing you. It's better to do those little annoying things first but sadly I don't have anything to do other than little annoying things. So I suppose i'll do this first anyway." He readied his claws and had a smile on his face and his claws out. Ivan jumped, purposely missed him then jumped again at him hoping to surprise him and get a hit.

Shadow was surprised, he held his sword defensively, hoping to block atleast one of Ivan's attacks. After he was sent back, he looks up. "I don't even know who you are, whawts your name crazy?" Shadow says looking around, he was hoping one of the X-men would get here, that way tehy could send this bufoon packing.

OOC: Make one of the X-Men come if you want it would end this a lot quicker and I don't want it to last too long.

IC: "It's Ivan but you won't need to know that." He said then slowly dragged his claw through the wall making a large mark. He the stomped on the ground then jumped at Shadow hoping to tackle him to the ground and assault with multiple shots.

Cyclops heard the fight and blasted Ivan out of the air and back out the window, the boy fell to the ground below. "Shadow stay back." He says and looks down.

OOC: Yeah up to you as to what he does next.

OOC: I had a weird feeling you'd choose Cyclops.

IC: Ivan jumped up as if nothing happened although it actually hurt a lot. "Oh you'll pay for that!" Ivan said very angry now. "I was just about to have a little fun and now you mess it up. And where's that piece of crap Wolverine?!? I'm part of the superior generation of his kind." He said looking not angry at all with a psychotic smile on his face. Cyclops shot another blast missing him then Ivan shoulder charged through the front door and ran back outside although the door was completely destroyed and he could've gone in. "Don't be a sissy come over here!" Ivan yelled at Cyclops he didn't come down. It seemed Wolverine heard what he said then came and stabbed him in the back without Ivan noticing him coming. "Superior generation huh?" Wolverine said to him in an angry voice. Ivan grabbed Wolverine's claws with his right hand then grabbed Wolverines other hand with his left hand and attempted bite his arm off but Wolverine kicked him off. Ivan quickly got off the ground "You'll see. And you'll pay for not saving us from the things that happened." Wolverine laughed "I know what happened." Ivan then looked angrily at him "No it was much worse. Not even you know what they did. Especially to some of us. I was lucky but some others...." He said then charged at Wolverine angrily. The two began exchanging blows making a large mess of blood all over the area. Finally Wolverine took the advantage and stabbed him hard through the chest area then threw him against a tree. Ivan was coughing out blood but managed to say "I will have my revenge." He let Wolverine walk away and managed to slowly get up hoping Cyclops wouldn't shoot him with his blast.

OOC: He was my favorite X-man, but how'd you know I was gonna do that without any knowledge of me?

Shadow slumped to teh ground now, he sat there, blodd trickling from a couple wounds. He slowly smiled at Cyclops. "Couldn't have gotten here sooner huh?" He asks, Cyclops picked him up and took Shadow to the infirmiry.

OOC: Maybe subconsiously I remembered when you said that Shadow blasted the thing from his hands the way Cyclops did. You said something like that I earlier and that's probably why. But I also get to know people through there characters slightly so maybe it's that. I don't really know though.

IC: Ivan howled loudly in anger then began walking away from the school. He was just going a different direction and began climbing the school again. This time he managed to make it to Xaviers room and noticed him facing the other way and was about to jump at him.

OOC: I'll let you choose what happens next.
