Haven City

Tran reappeared behind him again. "You aren't so powerful after all," he says, appearing before him. "You think yourself a god but you aren't," he says as he disappears and reappears beside him. "You're simply a low and pathetic life form...you don't deserve anything you have."

"Oh I'm so hurt." Obelisk said grabbing Tran and teleporting him off the island, toying with Tran and delaying him to keep the machine going.

Tran then throws Obelisk aside. "I don't have to read minds to know what you're doing," Tran says, appearing back before Molly. "Molly, you are going Home now." He reaches into the field of energy around her which begins to somewhat tear at him. "Hm?"

Obelisk walked up throwing Tran down and kicking him away.

Tran gets up and grabs Obelisk then throws him away and begins to try and shut the machine down. "You're wasting time and I don't HAVE the time to explain how," he says.

Obelisk blasted Tran in the back knocking him through a wall. "Shut up."

Tran appears behind Obelisk and grabs him but deciding he isn't worth it, he throws him aside, continuing to deactivate the machine.

Obelisk smacked Tran's hand away and kicked him to the side.

Tran then gives the mechanical equivalent of a sigh and flicks him away, forcing him against a wall with a gravitational field before continuing.

Obelisk shut down Tran's mind and walked over putting power negators on his wrists that held his power cosmic in check. "Now you're done."


(just leave it until the team arrives, the plot requires Obelisk to be this unbeatable right now)

Cowl is finally let out of the gravitational field. "You know that''ll only hold him for so long, right? But in any case, she's almost ready...and we have company. Shall I send someone to 'greet' them? No...no, you want them to come, don't you?"

Jana arrived at the scene with her crew and noticed one of them had Stephanie's outfit on, "You're in luck...today I'll let this one slide, but if Keith or James wants to tell you off, I'm not about to protect your ass."
"I know..." came the short answer.

Damien waited for James' attack.

Keith fired a barrage at Damien from behind him.

Damien stopped his assault by telekinisis and sent them back at him, distracted for a second.

Shadow hit Damien with a shadow blast.

James rushed into the main building and into the machine room seeing Tran, Obelisk, Cowl and Molly.

"Oh, spoke too soon," Cowl says. "Hey there, G.I Joe."

James looked at Cowl. "Cowl..." He said narrowing his eyes a little.

Damien grunted falling down to the ground on his feet.

"Now, did you really expect someone else?"

"Wasn't quite sure who to expect." James said forming two energy balls in his hands.

"Careful. Supernova can set fire to the atmosphere and kill us all. You really want to be responsible for the death of a six year old?" Cowl says, stepping aside and presenting Molly.

"Who said anything about going supernova?" James said blasting Cowl in the gut with a concussive blast sending her into the wall.

Obelisk dashed at James and punched him in the jaw hard sending him back.

Cowl appears by the machines and cracks her neck, starting it up. "You aren't the only one who can heal, soldier-boy," he says. Suddenly she's blasted away from the machines and when she falls, a gravitational field appears around her.

"You cannot contain the power cosmic," Tran says, standing where she once did.

Obelisk turned to blast Tran but he was tackled from the side by James making Obelisk's shot go wide right missing Tran and giving him time to free Molly.
