She couldn't do anything, being floating in mid-air, instead just bracing for it to come and strike her. At least, that was what she expected it to do, and what she wanted it to do.

(OOC: Ehm... life force absorption? Yeah right. >.> When/how/why/etc. did that happen?)

All right, mister omnipotent artifact Matt thought, holding out his hands before him. I don't like you, and...well, you're an artifact, so I don't think you could not like me back, but the point is that you need to work correctly, please. That's be neat, thanks.

Streams of light suddenly manifested, swirling toward the grass before Matt. They moved in wide, arcing patterns, carving the idea of a shape in the air, and as they did this, Matt kept his eyes focused, imagining his creation taking shape before him.

And then, there it was, with no fanfare. The lights faded to reveal a sleek, curved car, painted shining, midnight black. Square headlights sat within the angled sections of the front of the car. A smooth shaker rested within the hood, and the back of the car tapered off into the trunk, with a slight edge pointing upwards near the end. Covered leather seats were visible inside the tinted windows, along with the waiting steering wheel that was so familiar.

"Hey, all right!" Hugo said, walking over to Matt. "See, I knew you could do it!"

"...yeah." Matt just stared at the car. "I guess I could."

"What kind of car is it?" Helena asked.

Matt turned slowly, looked at her. "It's my dad's car."

R.D. raised an eyebrow at Matt's statement. "Any particular significance?" he asked.

===At Egypt===

Michael grinned at Electra's attack and Meta's predicament. "You know, there's a very good way of countering that," he said, getting another cigarette out to smoke.

"The real one stopped working after a hurricane," Matt explained. He looked back at his creation. "We had to get rid of it. Still pisses me off."

"Well, at least you've got something that looks like it," Hugo offered.

"That's true." Matt clapped his hands together. "All right...let's roll, boys and girls."

Alasea created some supplies for the group and a special satchel for R.D. that had its own pocket dimension. As they were getting ready to depart, R.D. stopped as he felt someone touch his shoulder. Turning around, he saw Alasea, with an uncharacteristically serious look on her face.

"Is something... wrong??" he said, startled as the girl suddenly wrapped her arms around R.D. and hugged him tight. The surprised teen awkwardly hugged her back.

"You guys be careful, alright?" she said quietly, "I don't want to hear about you guys getting killed out there."

"I'll keep an eye on things," R.D. reassured as the girl released him, "Someone's gotta keep an eye on them."

"Yeah," Alasea said, giving him a shy smile. She suddenly leaned up and planted a kiss on his cheek, causing both of them to blush furiously. "Good luck out there."

R.D. nodded silently and walked to the Pontiac, waving goodbye to the Daughter of Dawn, who waved goodbye to them all.

A gesture from Matt created the familiar sound of an audience of various people, whooping in various ways over the kiss.

R.D. rolled his eyes and made a gesture of his own--one that made a small flame burst right in Matt's face, only an inch away.

"Knock it off," he grumbled as he stalked past and got into the Pontiac.

(OOC: Actually, Meta is not inside her, Electra is merely around her. I fail to see how that would absorb Meta's energy now. But alright then.)

Meta was still floating in the air. I think I'm going to be sick. She thought. Did that... that THING just GO THROUGH me?! She vehemently shook her head to get rid of the thought, then looked down upon Electra. She felt as if part of her energy was now gone, as if it had been taken away by an illness, but it was only a little bit of it, nothing major, though perhaps going as high as something like three per cent. Her blood red eyes glared down upon the now angelic-looking Electra.

"You may look like an angel, but HELL you're a bitch!" She cried out. "I'd tell you to get a life and maybe a boyfriend, if possible, but deducting from your looks and attitude, you wouldn't get either even in a thousand lifetimes!"

(OOC: ...ONOES LITENINGHAWKBABIES. O_X)

"Maybe insults won't save me," Meta replied, "but your petty attacks won't kill me, either!" She cocked her head upwards, looking at the lightning copy. Her eyes narrowed, a corner of her mouth went up unnoticeably. She extended out an arm, palm facing forward, at the clone's direction, her own legs spreading out a little.

"You have just made another mistake."

Matt laughed. "Ahhhh, ya got served." He clapped his hands once, soundly, and turned to face Alasea. "But seriously, kid. You have a good run."

"Can you contact us if you need anything?" Helena asked.

"I... think so," Alasea said, "Maybe if you're still on this world. I don't know if I can extend my influence into other dimensions."

Alasea looked back at the Pillar of Dawn. "I think I'll be fine," she said quietly, "I'll certainly have a few surprises for them if they do show."

Meta smirked. As the first lightning copy came near, she used the power she had told some of her father's lackeys about. When the lightning copy nearly touched her, her hand shot forward, and she absorbed the copy, as it was made purely of energy. She repeated the process three times over with the other copies that came a very short time afterwards.

"No mistakes?" She then mocked. "I guess you just made several."

Meta blinked for a moment as she saw the giant attack coming for her.

"Oh." She merely said, and furrowed a brow. "You guys certainly like oversized spherical attacks dontcha? Guess it runs in the family." Although she had no idea where that thought came from, she felt as if it was quite true.

Meta looked on the attack quite apathically, thinking it would go the same way as it had gone the previous times where Electra had claimed to start using her most powerful attack. When she suddenly heard a strange voice inside her head, she was rather surprised, especially considering she was practically already in the middle of the attack. She didn't have much time to think back Wha the kack is this?! before it hit, and that's why she did it while she was already surrounded in the large spherical thing. As she was engulfed in the Kuro-Raikou, her body tried to absorb every single bit of it, even the tiniest spark, but not before half of the attack had passed yet, her body had almost overloaded with the electrical energy, and sparks of Kuro-Raikou started to come from her own body as she was paralyzed with the overloading of energy.

Meta considered the idea for a moment, and, still being battered by the immense attack, decided it for the best. Alright, she replied, and focused as such so that her body would not absorb the dark electrical energy anymore, and to release a bit of what she had absorbed too much already.

"Hm." Meta grunted, and she smirked at Electra. "Well, I suppose there is at least one person now willing to let me live." She spoke sarcastically. "Guess you aren't such a tough bitch after all."

(OOC: Not only that, but we're not even there anymore, I think. o.O)

Meta smirked, shook her head, and stretched out her arm to absorb the attack. However, she forgot that she was quite full already, and thus the sparks ran over her skin, burning it, paralysing her, and making her clench her teeth.

"Agh, you ho." She uttered. "You're gonna get it."

(OOC: Fix'd. And Morph, I suggest you use the HA now.)

(OOC: Aye.)

Meta smirked. "Oh, I will," She said. "Quite coincidentally, I have found myself able to acquire quite an unusual and intruiging object as of late. An object, whose power combined with my own shall be the downfall of you."

She brought her right hand behind her back and appeared to put her hand into some kind of bag. She moved her arm a bit and pulled her hand forward again, now showing it had become encased in a sturdy gauntlet that appeared to be navy blue and bronze and clawed, with an extension that covered her lower arm like a small shield.

"It's quite like an arm, isn't it?" She mused. "Yet hallow. Amazing-looking, isn't it? Wait until you see what it can do."
