X-Sync -- Chapter 3-16
by JT Poole

// In An Alternate Reality //

"Where's Ashlocke?"  The blonde haired woman asked, slapping JT in the face.

"Who the hell is Ashlocke?"  JT asked, struggling to get out of the device
he was in.

"You know damn well who Gabriel Ashlocke is."  The blonde haired woman
spoke.  "We are getting nowhere with this one Adam.  Maybe what the other
one said is the truth."

"I don't know what to believe.  This could all be some scam by Ashlocke to
trick us all."  A dark-haired man spoke, walking into the room.  "Then
again, they could be telling the truth."

"Look, I don't know who you are, and I don't know what you want.  Why don't
you just let us go and we can be on our way.  We can act like none of this
ever happened."

"No Adam we can't let them go.  We let them go, then they can expose us to
the world."  The dark-haired woman spoke.

"Well you can always use your tele-empathic powers to erase their memories
of this ever happening Emma."  The man spoke.

"I can't do that Adam, he was the one that created the manifestation that
nullified my powers earlier."  Emma spoke.

"He must have tele-empathic powers too."  Adam spoke.

`Not quite buddy.' JT telepathically stated, creating a psychic projection
of himself and attacking Adam and Emma.  `The correct term would be
telepathic and this would be my full manifestation of myself, just like you
did earlier, except in this form, I am much more deadlier.'

"How can we stop something we can't touch?"  The blonde-haired woman asked,
taking swings in mid-air at JT's astral projection.

"If we hurt the physical body, that might stop this image."  Adam stated.

`Now now, I wouldn't trying touching my body if I were you.'  JT
telepathically spoke, as a field of energy surrounded his and Justin's
bodies.

"He's erected some kind of barrier around both of their bodies."  Adam
spoke.

"Maybe Jesse can phase through it."  The blonde-haired woman spoke.

"I don't think so Shalimar, I don't know what that energy is, it might harm
Jesse."  Adam spoke, just as JT destroyed the device that kept him and
Justin a prisoner.

"Now that we are both free, I can do this!"  JT stated, raising his hands as
his body started projecting light all around.

(<Pamph>)

// Someplace Else //

"Baby are you okay?"  JT asked, trying to wake Justin.

"What?  Where are we?"  Justin asked, grabbing onto JT.

"Calm down baby we are safe now.  I just don't know where we are still."  JT
spoke.

"I just want to go home." Justin stated, hugging onto JT crying.  "Baby get
us back to Orlando, please."

"I am trying, but every time I shift us, I can only take us a few kilometers
from where we were.  I can't distinguish the spatial coordinates of where we
are."

"Spatial coordinates?  What is that?"  Justin asked.

"In order for me to shift somewhere, I must be able to see, visualize or
know the direct location of where I want to go as long as it's in our cosmic
order of things."  JT spoke, looking around.  "It seems to be early morning
in this place.  I am going to try to see if I can locate the X-Men or
something."

"I don't care what we do as long as we get away from here."  Justin spoke,
standing up with JT.

"Come on baby."  JT stated as the two of them faded away.

// Back in the Real Reality -- Washington, DC //

"That's the last one!"  JC screamed out, floating down to the ground.  "This
would have gone better if JT was here."

"Do you guys have to keep saying that?"  Chris asked, reverting back to his
human form.

"Well it is your fault that he left again."  JC stated as Kevin walked up to
him.

"Okay guys, seems this place is normal as it's going to get with the demons
that were here gone."  Tigersbane stated.

"What's our next move Josh?"  Kevin asked.

"We need to find JT and Justin.  I feel this is far from over.  We got the
frogs cleaned up, but I feel this is some sort of omen or something."  JC
stated just as the moon changed to a dark red color that resembled blood.

"Oh my God, look up there at the moon, it looks like blood!"  Lance screamed
out.

"Oh my God, it does look like blood."  Kevin spoke.  "What's going on baby?"

"I have no idea, but this is really getting scary."  JC spoke, just as
Tigersbane fainted.  "B?  B?  Are you okay?"

"Okay correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't her powers magical like JT's?"
Chris asked.  "With all this shit happening, she could be responsible for
this mess too."

"Don't you fucking start this crap again Chris!  You already ran JT off, you
are not running Beyonce off too."  Lance spoke, shoving Chris.

"Come on everyone, let's take this back to HQ."  JC stated as he carried
Beyonce on to the jet as the others followed him on board.

"Computer return to HQ."  Lance stated as the jet started up and they were
airborne.

// Back in the Alternate Reality //

"Baby where are we?"  Justin asked as he and JT continued running.

"I don't know, but we best find some place to hide."  JT stated, panting.

"Why aren't your powers working right baby?"  Justin asked.

"I don't know.  Whatever's effecting me seems to be effecting you too since
you are not flying like you normally are."  JT stated.

"You have a point."  Justin stated, closing his eyes concentrating.  "I can'
t levitate nor can I sense anything."

"I can sense stuff, but it's taking a lot for me to do that."  JT stated as
he and Justin were cornered again by the people they recently escaped from.

"Baby, they're back."  Justin stated, wrapping his arms around JT.

"That's it!  I'm tired of this!  We don't know you, we don't know who you
are looking for!"  JT screamed projecting energy at all four people.

"Duck Emma!"  Shalimar screamed out.

`I think you should watch your own back!'  JT screamed telepathically as his
psychic projection punched Shalimar, knocking her to the ground.  `Justin
come on, try to fly now, I think they are the reason our powers are not
working correctly.'

"How did you know that?"  Justin asked, floating up towards JT.

"I read her mind.  There's some kind of energy dampening and scrambling
field around us."  JT stated, as he and Justin landed on the roof of a
nearby building.  "As I was in here mind, I discovered that she's part of a
group called Mutant X and since I have never heard of these people before, I
am assuming that I shifted us somehow to a different reality since this is
New York."

"This can't be New York, everything is so different."  Justin stated.
"Where is everyone?"

"That's the point. I think whatever that disturbance was in Limbo screwed up
my powers and when I shifted us, we got jolted here."  JT stated.

"How is that possible baby?"  Justin asked.  "How could something in Limbo
mess with your powers."

"Justin I am a mutant just like you but, my mutant powers is my psychic
powers and the ability to mimic the powers of those people around me, this
it.  The magic that you and the others have seen me use is the power of
Limbo, which is not my power, it's just mine to use while Limbo is under my
command.  My power to shift between places is one of the powers of Limbo.
If I wasn't able to use Limbo's power, I wouldn't be able to do some of the
things that I do."  JT explained.

"I don't get it."  Justin stated.

"Plain in simple, I don't have all the powers you see me use."  JT stated.

"So you are not as powerful as we all think?"  Justin asked.

"Alone no, but with the power of Limbo at my command I am."  JT spoke.  "I
have the same powers as you do Justin, just the added touch of my
bio-morphic power which you don't have. "

"I think I understand now."  Justin stated just as Shalimar, Emma and the
guy named Brennan appeared.  "Baby here they come again."

"Well I think it's time for Psion and Catastrophe to kick some ass!"  JT
stated, as his eyes started glowing and his and Justin's clothes changed
back to their costumes.

"Well hello Mutant X, seems like we came to find the same thing."  A cute
looking white guy with long black hair spoke.

"Ashlocke!"  Shalimar screamed, jumping towards him as he zapped her with a
bolt of energy knocking her down.

"What the hell!?"  JT screamed.  "This is the guy you accused us of working
with?"

"Look out baby, he's firing something!"  Justin screamed just as JT was able
to shift out of the way.

"Where did he go?"  Shalimar asked, jumping towards Gabriel Ashlocke again.

"Sweet Shalimar, you are one step closer to being mine."  Ashlocke stated.

"Never!  Not in your wildest dreams!"  Shalimar screamed

"You say that now, but just wait.  You will be mine."  Ashlocke spoke just
as JT appeared behind him, zapping him with a telekinetic energy bolt.
"That tickled."

"Tickled?  That should have leveled a building."  JT stated, grabbing Justin
and shifting again.

(<Pamph>)

"Baby he's immune to your powers."  Justin stated as he and JT reappeared.
"If he's immune to your power, then he's immune to mine."

"Well let's see if he's immune to his own power."  JT stated as he shifted
again, appearing behind Gabriel Ashlocke, grabbing a hold of his neck.
"Arrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhh!"

"Psion!"  Justin screamed out, floating down to where Gabriel and JT were.
"What are you doing to him?"

"What's going on kid?"  Brennan asked, running up to Justin as they all
stared at the scene in front of them.  "What's happening, what's he doing?"

"He's killing Psion!  He's killing him!"  Justin screamed, created one of
his pyrokinetic energy spheres and projecting it at Ashlocke.

"What the hell are you doing?"  Ashlocke asked.  "Are you trying to make me
laugh?"

"Look out kid!"  Shalimar screamed, grabbing Justin and pulling him out of
the way.

"What the hell is that guy doing to Ashlocke?"  Emma asked, ducking trying
to keep from being hurt by stray energy beams that were flying around.

"I think he was trying to absorb his powers and use them against him.  I
have seen this happen before.  He tried to do this before with someone that
was too powerful for him."  Justin stated.  "That time, the power transfer
reversed and the person gained his power and took over his mind."

"Oh great, just we need Ashlocke floating around with more powers than what
he already has."  The guy identified as Jesse said.

"You, you are a telepath aren't you?"  Justin asked, pointing at Emma.

"Yeah, something like that."  Emma stated.

"Could you help me?"  Justin asked, sitting down cross-legged as he started
floating.  "I need to get into his mind and see if I can stop this."

"What do you need me to do?"  Emma asked.

"I need you to be my anchor here."  Justin stated.  "You project energy
right?"

"Yeah I do."  Brennan stated."

"Good then, I would also need you to project a beam of energy at Ashlocke
when you hear my voice."  Justin stated as his eyes started glowing.

// Back in Orlando //

"What the hell is going on here?  All the things that are happening are
something similar to the signs of the..."  Lance trailed off as Tigersbane
walked into the room.

"Guys there's something seriously wrong with the world."  Tigersbane stated,
sitting down at the table.

"We know B, just don't know what it is."  JC stated, walking over to her.
"Does this have anything to do with religion?"

"I don't know Josh, but something's wrong.  Since JT isn't here, I don't
have any answers."  Tigersbane stated.

"Is there like a spell or something that you could use to bring JT and
Justin back here?" JC asked.

"I don't know where they are."  Tigersbane stated, getting up and walking
over to the computer.  "Computer locate Psion and Catastrophe."

= Psion cannot be found.  Catastrophe cannot be found. =

"If the computer can not find them, then they are nowhere in this dimension,
possibly the planet."  JC stated.

"How do you expect me to create a spell to bring them back when the computer
doesn't even know where they are?"  Tigersbane asked.

(<Poof>)

"Quite simple my child, just concentrate and all your wishes will come
 true."  The woman stated as she appeared in the room.

"What the hell!"  JC screamed as everyone took stance to attack the woman.

// Back in the other Reality //

`Come on baby you can fight this.  Let go of the creep.  If you let him go
this pain will stop.'  Justin spoke to JT telepathically.

`I can't let him go, he's killing me!'  JT screamed telepathically sending
shockwaves across the astral plane.

"What's wrong Emma?"  Shalimar asked.

"They're in pain, a great pain.  Ashlocke is killing both of them."  Emma
spoke.

"Is there something you can do to stop him?"  Shalimar asked.

"I will try, their minds seem so alien to me."  Emma spoke, reaching out
telepathically as a strange light from Justin stopped her.

"What's that?"  Jesse asked.

"I don't know, but whatever it is, appeared when I connected with him."
Emma stated.

(<Poof>)

"These two don't belong here."  A strange woman appeared grabbing Justin
then JT.

"What the hell is that?"  Shalimar asked, jumping towards the woman.

"Shal no!"  Emma screamed.  "Don't touch her!"

"Why not?"  Shalimar asked, landing in front of the woman stopping as Emma
had said.

"Don't touch her.  She's not of this world.  Neither are they."  Emma stated
as JT, Justin and the woman disappeared.

(<Poof>)

"They are gone, how are we going to explain this to Adam?"  Shalimar asked.

"Explain what?"  Emma asked.

"I have no clue.  Why are we here?"  Shalimar asked as she and Emma walked
back over to the two men.  "Guys do you know why we are here?"

"No, I have no clue."  Jesse stated.  "Do you think Ashlocke had something
to do with us being here, since he's over there, lying on the ground?"

"Probably so.  Let's get him and find out what he's been up to."    Brennan
stated, walking over to Ashlocke lying on the ground.

// Back in the Real Reality -- Orlando, FL -- X-Sync HQ //

"Who are you?"  JC asked as Justin and JT appeared in the room.

"Just think of me as the mother of all things."  The woman spoke and
disappeared.

"Oh my God.  Do you know who that was?"  Tigersbane asked.

"No, could you tell us?"  Brian asked.

`Quiet my child, clandestine is what I am.'  Tigersbane heard a voice in her
head.  `You will see me again soon.'

"I don't know, I was asking you."  Tigersbane stated, thinking to herself of
what she just heard.

"Are you two alright?"  JC asked, helping JT and Justin up.

"He's not fine, we were fighting these crazy people and he tried to knock
one of them out like he did Hellion and the guy almost killed him!"  Justin
spoke as JT started glowing.

"Oh fuck!  I don't like the looks of this."  Chris stated.

"Shut up Chris!"  Lance spoke.

"JT can you hear me?"  Justin asked.

"Yes I can hear you."  JT stated, as he started glowing brighter now.
"Where are we?"

"We are back in Orlando."  Justin stated, floating up to JT.  "Or at least I
think we are back."

"You are back."  Tigersbane stated.

"How do we know that?"  Justin asked as he and JT vanished.

"What the hell?  They just came back and they are gone already!"  Chris
spoke just as JT and Justin appeared again.

"We are back, I can sense the spatial coordinates of where we are."  JT
stated as he and Justin floated back to the floor.  "We are home baby."

"Oh thank God."  Justin stated as he and JT shared a passionate kiss.
