Christina knew that something bad would happen, but this seemed somewhat unexpected so there was no way that this could have all been some sort of trap. Christina heard Kitty's orders to protect Storm and to be mindful of their shadows.
Christina: Ok...
Christina had no idea how exactly she would be able to do that, but she would try.

Emily dropped to the ground gasping at count's feet. Ave. had said if it came to something like this that she was to make a pentagram and send her enemy away... but would that work here? Her feeling of incompetance angered her. She should have trained as long as Tiffany did. Her sister would be more prepared than she was.
She still had one blade... panting, she cut the backs of his ankles and scrambled back to her sister.

"Your turn to make the first move..." Tiffany pushed her sister behind her protectively and silently contemplated what he would do and what her reaction should be.

(Count grunted in pain as Emily slashed his ankles. He turned to her, and quickly teleported behind her. Count grabbed Emily's good arm and twisted it. He then teleported to the roof of the mansion with her. He leaned on the edge, gave her a comforting smile and threw her. Count then vanished and reappeared behind Shadowcat. He placed his hand on her shoulder, but was surprise when it went through her body. He smiled and whispered in her ear.)
Count: Once you think about it, you and and I aren't so different.

Emily didn't react in pain, but reacted in surprise and looked at count. His smile confused her ... till she was falling. She couldn't scream. It was different when Avriletta was the one to let her fall... because she'd never dropped her.
"Emily!" Tiffany shouted as she threw her hand toward the window at the last second and paused her sister.

Locckheed growled as he began to descend to where Kitty stood inbetween him and Count. Kitty glared at Count over her shoulder that he had tried to touch.
Shadowcat: I am nothing like you.
While Kitty remained in her phasing state, Lockheed blew a stream of fire through her and at Count. Kitty dropped to ground and swung her leg out to kick out Count's ankles. Bobby then used a ice beam to try to keep Count frozen on the ground.

(Count remained motionless on the ground. For a second it seemed that he had been defeated but then the ice covering Count's body began to chip away. Suddenly, a strange gust of wind appeared out of nowhere in the direction of Oracle and Storm.)
Psychonaut: Its pleasant seeing you again so soon.
(Psychonaut said suavely to Oracle, before firing a telekinetic blast at the girl. Talia ran over to where the X-men were surrounding Count's body. She began circling in between the X-men and Count at extraordinary speeds. This created a tornado that began removing the rest of the ice on Count's body. When Count was able to stand on his feet, he teleported to Iceman and delivered a midair kick to his face. Talia stopped her tornado and turned to face Shadowcat.)

Christina was thrown back against the wall and fell to the ground. She looked up to Psychonaut and gave him her patented glowing violet glare. She stood back up and regained her ground and sarcasm.
Christina: Gee, thanks. Let me return the compliment.
Christina pushed as hard as she could and fire back her own telekinetic blast. As Psychonaut was pushed back, Christina made it back next to Storm. She held onto the woman's arm and concentrated on creating a shield to protect them.

Lockheed growled as he attempted to regain his flight after being blown around in the tornado. Kitty brushed her brown bangs from her eyes and saw a woman facing her. Kitty quickly looked to take in the new surroundings. Christina was still trying to protect Storm while fighting Psychonaut, with Iceman taking over the fight with Count. Kitty returned her attention to the woman in front of her and waited for her to make the first move.

Tiffany ran outside to her sister and checked her vitals. She was alive ... but definitly T.K.O. ... Emily's body was laid under a tree and Tiffany hurried back inside. "Bobby!" Tiffany shouted as she paused Count

(Count stood motionless again. His eyes however followed Tiffany. Count sent a mental message to the girl.)
"The powers of darkness are eternal."
(Count then blinked and he disappeared, only to reappear behind Tiffany. He grabbed his rapier sword and stabbed deeply into her back. He placed his left hand on her face and spoke demonically in her ear.)
Count: I am eternal
(Count slowly dropped Tiffany on the ground next to her twin. Her wound wasn't severe enough to kill her, but he doubted she had enough energy to continue the fight. He looked up and turned to Iceman. He fired one of his icebeams at Count. With a simple moment of his left hand, a barrier of shadow appeared in front of Count to safeguard himself from the icebeam. Meanwhile, Talia began running around Shadowcat. She pulled one of her knives and threw it swiftly at the girl. Back at the fight with Psychonaut and Oracle, Max was firing telekinetic blasts, one after another. To Psychonaut's surprise, Oracle was still maintaining her shield. He looked at Oracle, some what impressed with the girl.)
Psychonaut: You are doning a well job protecting her. How well will you do against my mind?
(Psychonaut turned to Storm and began searching her mind of all the information he needed. The white haired woman began to scream as Psychonaut began retrieving all the mansion's codes from her mind.)

As Keiy and Marcus fought on, Keiy got more and more vicious with his attacks. He grabbed Marcus and slammed him into the barrier so hard that it rippled as fire washed over it. He them ran to the entrance, pounded his fist into the ground, summoning the earth around him, and crafting armor out of the fresh earth. Marcus came up and punched Keiy in the jaw just as the armor was finished. "You couldn't beat me then and you won't beat me now!" The half wolf screamed as he continued with his barrage of punched and kicks.

"Ahh!" She cried as he stabbed her. Tiffany faded in and out of conciousness for a moment. she was losing blood, "Doesn't mean I can't help!" she whispered to herself and paused talia, "God I hope that helps..." tiffany's legs werent working, "Emily!" she said as loud as she could, "EMILY!" the blond stirred.

Kitty was in trouble. She had to keep phasing to avoid the knives from cutting her, so she couldn't go tangible to fight Talia. But even if she could, Talia was running so fast that Kitty couldn't even see her. But luckily Tiffany had frozen Talia in her place. Kitty used that time to phase Talia's knives out of her hands and used the bunt of the knife to hit Talia in the back of her head and knock her out. Talia's body unfroze as she collasped to the floor. Kitty quickly made it over to the twins and tried to stir them.
Shadowcat: Girls, you okay? Emily, wake up. Lockheed, stay on guard.
Lockheed continued to watch the other enemies as Kitty quickly tore the sleeves of her blouse off and used them as makeshift bandages to help stop the bleeding wounds from the twins.

Christina was surprised herself how well she held up her shield. Those extra danger room sessions and lessons from the others have been paying off. But Christina was not up to fight against what Psychonaut had done.
Christina: Storm!
Christina knew that Psychonaut was a telepathic and was attacking Storm's mind. She knew she couldn't force him out of her mind, but she could disrupt his concentration. Christina looked around and found a same end table behind Psychonaut. She used her telekinesis to throw the table into Psychonaut's back. Then Christina pulled Storm up from the ground and helped carry her towards the elevator to get her out of the fight.
