Dinner with Maloker ((group thread))
Some may consider that all the 'Big Guns' that April has called together is overkill … but not really, not when it comes to the fact that many great minds are needed to find a way to prevent The Three (Discord, Disharmony and Cacophony) from their evil plans.
And the Big Guns are needed... when they have no idea where to start looking for The Three.
When other Keys (such as Dawn Summers) are being drained of their existence.
When the clock is still ticking on Lorne... and his battle with his disease.
Invitations were extended to Clark Kent/Superman; Harry Dresden; Sheriff Bigby Wolf; Edward Elric; Cipher Nine; and of course Spike, Angel, Buffy, Willow and Wes.
April is waiting in the planning room, for each person to arrive, going through some books as she does. For many... this will be a familiar encounter, as they had to come to fight together before. But there will be some new faces. And new ideas.

Cipher Nine loosens his hold around Lachesis's waist, but doesn't entirely let go until she's bound inside the amulet.
no subject
Clark lowers the amulet, still feeling awful about doing this to April, but they have no choice and it's too late to stop. "Just Atropos left."
no subject
The fake-Angel hisses at the light, but he tries to surround Ed completely, and tries to block out the light. Bigby easily tackled the Buffy-shadow. She screams, trying to fight against him.
no subject
Cipher Nine lets out a long breath as they approach Atropos. "We just need to figure out her fear," he notes. "When we came here last, to get rid of Adam, she was afraid of losing Clark," he notes. "But I have a sneaking suspicion Edward managed to cure her of that fear in the process of helping to clear Adam out."
no subject
"I'm open to ideas," Clark says under his breath as they approach the last of the Fates.
Harry makes a face. "Hate to say it, but we could try the fear of losing your kids."
no subject
The Buffy-shadow is pinned by Bigby's wind powers in order to disappear, or use its powers. He is able to literally tear it into nothing, until it is no longer a threat to them.
Atropos gives a sharp cry when Harry mentioned the fear of losing the children. She moves into the cave, trying to escape them before they can bind her.
no subject
"Blast it," Cipher Nine sighs as Atropos heads into the cave. He's hesitant to just tear in after her, though... the darkness when they were here earlier was so impenetrable that even his infrared vision didn't allow him to see. He doesn't like using April's maternal instincts against her any more than the others do, but if it gets the job done...
no subject
"We can't let her get away," Clark says. He doesn't hesitate to run after her, despite the memory of the darkness.
no subject
Ed might notice that meanwhile, April has stopped struggling.
The cave is unnaturally dark. But Harry should be able to 'enlighten' the situation.
no subject
Cipher Nine heads in after them, not used to the complete darkness. He can't even see Clark and Harry by their body heat. There's nothing he can do to break it, either.
no subject
Harry channels his will into his staff, making the runes glow and smoke, giving them just enough light to see by. "Whaddya know, it worked this time."
"Hurry," Clark urges them. "We need to follow her."
no subject
The Angel-shadow is destroyed completely. But at least April is unable to be freed of her temporary cage. There are no more shadows trying to free her.
no subject
Which, unfortunately, probably isn't going to help, as Cipher Nine is doing his best to very thoroughly check the cave for her as they proceed. He stops in front of her. "Please. Don't make this any harder than it has to be," he tells her quietly.
no subject
Clark approaches Atropos, already thinking about his own fears about losing their children. What might happen if Lex remembers anything, if his enemies used Jonathan and little Laura against him, and especially remembering the anguish and desperation when Angel kidnapped Jonathan. "You know what I have to do."
no subject
"Our power, takes three. Call upon us, and we will bind him." She speaks to Harry with this riddle. And then she too is drawn into the Demontrap.
With their mission into the mind complete, Clark, Cipher Nine and Harry find themselves back in the real world with Ed and Bigby. Harry is holding the Demon trap. Maloker seems to be a large shadow-bat right now.
no subject
no subject
Clark wants to run to April and help her, but he doesn't dare, not until Maloker is vanquished, at least to the point where he can't control her anymore.
no subject
They will need the Winds, to keep Maloker from using his shadow magic against them. They will need someone with a bond to Clotho, to summon the first fate. They will need someone with a bond to Lachesis, to summon the second fate. And they will need someone with a bond to Atropos, to summon the third fate. Most of all, they will need to use all their strategy and common sense to get it done quickly. And with a control of the magic they are about to summon.

((The ledge isn't floating. That's something Ed can't do. What he's doing is making it longer to get it closer.))
no subject
There's only so far that the ledge will go, and Clark takes hold of it, breaking it off and surging forward, counting on Ed to hold it together beneath everyone else's feet.
no subject
Bigby and Harry are able to prevent the shadows from attacking, allowing the group to get underneath Maloker himself. It is time to use the Demontrap. And those who are bond to the Fates, to call them forth.
