(The smog of black smoke appeared at the base of surrounding trees in the forest. Count's ears twitched at the sound of a distant alarm. The forthcoming night had drastically increased his five senses, though he didn't need it to know that they knew he was coming. Count smiled at himself, marveling at the advancement in the X-men's security system.)
Count: This is going to be fun indeed.

I let my ears and eyes guid my movements to the surrounding trees. I kept to the shadows as much as possibel and finally made it to the tree line.
Oh man what have I gotten myself into
I made sure to be as quiet as possible jumping into the nearest tree and made my way up into the higher branches. Then gathering myself I jumped from tree to tree being as quiet as possible and looking and listening around me.
I stopped when I heard a twig snap to my right about 2 feet. I setteled myself on the branch I was on and waited.
I saw a man sized shape move underneath me and sent a quick message to mindcontrol.
*He is below me, would you like me to pounce on him or just follow for a while?*

(Count continued making his way to the mansion. He noticed that the sirens had stopped. He was now anticipating any of the X-men to attack. As Count continued, he heard movement above him. Looking up, he noticed a winged figure in the sky. It was one of the X-men Count saw back at the police station. Now he knew they were onto him. Count quickly moved to the side of a tree, hiding in the shadows. He looked up, trying to see if he had avoided detection from the girl. just then he spotted something the movements of something in the tree. Not taking any chances, with a flick of his wrist, Count sent a large impaling spike at the creature above.)

Ahhhh Shit I thought as the man below me looked up.
*Never mind been spotted* I all but shouted in my mind.
Then something sharp wizzed by my head and I quickly jumped to the ground growling low in my throat.
*HOW DARE YOU THROW SOMETHING SHARP AT ME YOU LITTLE BITTY MAN!* I mind screamed at him as I slowly circled him.
AHHH Hell! What to do now I thought to myself.

(Jack was already outside when he got the message from Elizabeth that she had been spotted. Jack then sent a mental message to Avriletta.)
Count has spotted Moon. Locate her and help her out. I'm on my way.
Will do.
(Jack began running toward the direction he received the message. He hoped Elizabeth could hold herself long enough for help to arrive.)

(Count looked at the creature in front of him. Count had no idea who this person was. He figured that this person was probably a new member of the group.)
Count: You must be new to X-men. Let me introduce myself. My name is Count and I'm here to kill all of you. I would let you introduce yourself, but I don't think you have enough time to live for you to do so.
(Count lifted his arms in the air, raising a wall made from the shadows on the ground. The heavily fortified wall had more impaling spikes on it. Count motioned his arm forward, sending it toward the leopard.)

I growled at Count as he started talking and shifted slowly into my half human half leopard form. I was so going to give this person a piece of my mind. I had just finished the shift when a wall of spikes started to come toward me.
I jumped to the right side as fast as I could, but one of the spikes caught me in the shoulder. I grunted in pain and watched as blood poured from my wound, but just as it happend it started to heal.
I looked at the shock on Counts face and said, "Yeah it comes in handy, but now its my turn."
I lunged at him and in mid air turned into my leopard form. I hope this hits him I thought to myself as I started to come out of my leap.

(The leopard lunged at Count's chest with its claws. The force of the lunge pushed Count backward, causing the claws to pierce even deeper into his chest. As Count began to fall backward, he used his feet to kick the creature off of him. He then back-flipped back onto his feet. The man looked at the leopard and then down at the wounds on his chest. Just as fast as it began to breed, the healing factor kicked in, and the wounds closed off. Count looked at the creature.)
Count: You're right, it does come in handy. I believe it is my turn.
(Count made a quick upward motion with his hands. Suddenly, a cage in the form of a spider appeared under the leopard's feet. Count partially closed his fist, closing the leopard inside. It was now trapped under Count's clutches. Count then began to use his fingers to control the spider like cage. Each finger corresponded to a sharp leg. Count moved his index to the middle of his palm. Instantly, one of the cage legs moved in, stabbing the leopard in the back. Count then pulled back that finger, thus pulling the part of the cage that had stabbed the leopard.)
Count: You are going to wish you didn't have a healing ability once I'm through with you.
(Count then proceeded to use multiple fingers at once.)

I roared with pain as multipule legs stabbed me and then it healed almost instantly. I didn't know how much more of this I could take and then a thought hit me. I slowly transformed myself into my white wolf form which is smaller and more agile. When one of the legs tried to hit me I jumped to the side and then locked my jaws around the leg and shock till it broke off. I did this multipul times until there was a wide hole for me to escape through.
I jumped out and decided it was time to lead this maniace to the rest of the x-men.
*Mindcontrol if you can hear me. Set up a ambush site in the small clearing about 20 yards to the north of here. I will lead him there and hopefully we can surprise him.*
Cutting off that link I then ran into the woods with Count right behind me throwing spikes. Ever once in a while one would hit, but I wouldn't stop because it would probably mean my death.

(Mindcontrol recieived Moon's message. He didn't have a plan on how to attack Count. So currently, Moon's plan was worth a shot.)
Sounds good. I'm going to send a message to Avriletta and we'll be on my way.
(Jack continued making his way toward the direction where Moon had indicated. Meanwhile he sent a mental picture of the indicated area and location to Avriletta.)
Ave., head to this spot. Moon is leading Count and we're going to ambush him there.
Don't you think that sounds kind of risky?
Sometimes the best defense is a good offense.
Hmm, I like that. On my way.
(Jack then sent the same image and location to Tiffany back in the mansion.)
Tiffany, I need you to use the mansion's defenses and direct them to this area. We're going to attack Count here. Just be ready to cover us.
Alright, Jack. You can count on me.
(Jack got to the area where Moon had indicated. He looked ahead and saw that Avriletta had just gotten there. Jack then sent a mental message to Moon.)
Alright, we're here.

*Alright We are almost there. I hope you guys are ready to do this. By the way I am the white wolf, so please don't hit me I don't think I could stand being in anymore pain.*
I could see the clearing in front of me and as I leaped the last into the clearing I was hit in the side with another stake and rolled as I hit the ground groaning in pain. I slowly transformed back into my half form and yaned the spike out then got to my feet and dived into the trees on the other side of the clearing to get out of the way.

(Count watched as the creature morphed into a hybrid that was half wolf and half human. He was prepared to fire another spike when the girl dove into an area away from his range. Count quickly ran to the clearing and turned to face the girl, but stopped. He took a whiff of the air and froze. It was a familiar scent of someone he had not expected to meet. It was years since he was in the presence of this person. Count slowly turned around and looked at the man that stood before him. The man before him looked different than his younger self. In less than a fraction of a second, Count observed the differences between the man before him and the boy he raised half his life. He was now a bit taller and was more athletically built. But one of the striking features was the look on his face. Just by looking at his face, Count knew that he most have experienced some stressful years since leaving the Sovereigns. It had aged him, making him look more mature. The only thing remotely recognizable about him was his eyes. They were the same brown eyes that held fear and sadness after he had lost his parents. The only difference now was that Jack's eyes were filled with a calm essence as they starred down at Count. Instead of looking at the teenager who was confused and lost in the world, Count stood in front of a man who knew his place in life. The Jack Count knew was now a shadow, a ghost. The old Jack had passed away, and Count beheld the new Jack that stood in front of him. With the fraction of a second gone, the color of Jack's eyes glowed a bright blue, the color of his aura. Jack extended his opened hand at Count and fired a telekinetic blast. The bright telekinetic blast whooshed toward Count; briefly illuminating the dark forest. Upon making contact with Count, there was a great burst of energy and light; this temporarily blinded both Moon and Avriletta who were nearby. The telekinetic blast sent shock-waves, rattling the branches of trees nearby. When the light and energy had cleared, Jack and the group noticed that Count had disappeared. There was nothing but the sound of falling leaves from the impact of Jack's attack. He powered down, his glowing oceanic eyes turning back to their original light brown. He then ran toward Moon.)
Mindcontrol: Are you injured?

Wow I had never seen that much power wielded by one person before, ok scratch that I had just never seen anything like that before. It was scary and inspiring. I would never get to that kind of power and I was so glad Jack was on our side.
Then I heard Jack call out if I was ok and was running toward me with a look of concern.
"Just peachy." I growled out as I sat up trying to hold in the grunt of pain that went with it.
I looked up into Jack's face and saw concern and sadness in his face. I looked down at myself and then exclaimed, "Shit, I look horrible!"
It was true my clothes were ripped, bloodstained, and dirty. Every inch of my skin was covered in dirt with dried blood here and there where spikes had hit me and then healed.
I started to move to my knees, but feel down back to my butt. I was drained from all the bloodloss.
"I think I need some food and rest," I said out loud to him. "Actually make that a shower, food and rest," I said looking down at myself and cringing again.
I then looked up at Jack again and held out my hand and with a big smile on my face I asked, "Can you help me up?"

(Jack nodded his head and ran over to Moon. He then helped Moon get back on her feet. He continued supporting the woman with his arm. Jack looked at the girl. He had a feeling she was in no condition to fight anymore. Though he was proud that she was able to hold off Count alone. As for the current situation, Jack needed to get Moon back to the mansion. He knew Count wouldn't go down that easily. He just hoped that his telekinetic blast had bought them some more time. He continued looking at Moon and was about to speak, when the group heard the sound of footsteps crunching down on leaves. Jack then spoke quietly under his breath, loud enough for Moon to hear, though he knew Count was listening amongst the shadows.)
Mindcontrol: We need to get you back to the mansion and fast.

My ears picked up the sound of footsteps and groaned to myself. This is so not my day I thought then I heard Jack say, "We need to get out of here in my ear."
I so wanted to give a insane laugh. "You think," I sarcasticly whispered back with an eyebrow raised.
"You can let me go I will shift into my black leopard form. I can keep my feet better that way and just flow into the shadows, hopefully not being noticed."
Jack let me go and I slowly shifted into my black leopard form and melted into the shadows.
* Ok lead the way and by the way you and I are going to have a long talk after this* I said in my mind to Jack.
