Jean merely watches on with yellow and red eyes.  She worries about her friend but finds her heart is darkening.  Her care for the living is dissolving.  She has yet to admit that she is finding wasting time looking for a living person bothers her.Four hours later, Jim is now becoming furious with frustration.  “I can’t believe this!  Its like there is nothing here to see.  It’s a video loop.  Its …….?”“Video loop?  What is that?” asks the Captain who has heard of video but not a loop.With an increasing smile, the US Government spy stops and seems to concentrate.  On what is uncertain to the Captain.  Jean watching passively.“Ahhhh ..the rat bastards ….nearly worked to.”“What nearly did?”  Asks the Captain trying to be patient with Jim and his mannerisms.“This is an illusion.  ALL of it.  Damn powerful hocus pocus.  It is hiding my ability to feel magic but once I took time to try – I can feel it …the magic.”“WELL DONE YOUNG TRICKSTER.  YOU HAVE SENCED THE TRUTH.  CAN YOU NOW FACE IT?”  Comes a voice from the very walls.“Crap.  Yeah.  I saw a movie and read a few comic books of this.  Guys- this place is possessed …haunted.  Or even alive.” Says Megamania smiling.Standing straight and trying to sound clear and confident- “Do you have our friend within this place?” Asks the Captain.A long silence follows.“I ask once more politely …Is Christina of The Mace within these walls?” asks the Captain.Silence.“Jim …..” commands the Captain without a look or complete command.Jim touches the wall and concentrates on the magic.  His control is improving but this time the magic is alive.  It is fighting his Spellfire abilities to absorb magical energies.  The walls begin is yellow and should gray lines of stress.  Jim’s hands begin to glow.“YOU WOULD DARE?”Suddenly Megamania snaps back his head and grunts.   A silent scream of terror is hidden by his facemask.  He drops to his knees but never breaks contact with the walls.  His head sags and his body slumps down as if unconscience.“Jim…?” asks the Captain reaching out with his free hand.“NO! Step back Roger!” Yells Jean is a hoarse voice.Jim turns.  The green visors of his mask flare with a reddish purple color.  He reaches out and releases a blast at the Captain.  His shield blocks the attack but he is forced back five feet.“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh   Poooowwwwwweer!” yells the glowing Rogue.  He tries to blast as Jean but she moves away easily taking flight with her magical boots.The images of the walls break away revealing a broken vine covered ruin instead of the beautiful and pristine tower it once was.Glowing still, Megamania, now possessed by the spirit, begins to float.  “Are you ready to die before me?”</blockquote>
