Finding Balance0 Reviews
Takes place after Ultimate X-men 60. A new force with power similar to the Phoenix begins to manifest in Scott, leading to a confrontation with forces the likes of which the X-men have never faced ...
Chapter 9: Finding Balance
With Horus and the Phoenix now soaring freely through the sky, the fate of so many remained uncertain. Slayer, the X-men, and Warlord Xin remained in the temple, locked in bitter conflict as the universe rested in the hand of two mutant teenagers. And for Warlord Xin, this was reason enough to believe that they were all done for. But before the end came, he had some personal business to take care of.
At the moment, Xin's seemingly endless shadow army was fighting the X-men. Wolverine, Iceman, Dazzler, Storm, Nightcrawler, and Colossus were all doing whatever they could to subdue this madman's minions. But for Slayer, he had only one focus and one focus alone...Warlord Xin.
"Well I hope you're happy, warrior!" bellowed the evil entity as he held his oversized sword, ready to strike down his enemy once and for all, "Thanks to your pestilence, those two will destroy us all!"
"You're a hell of pessimist, Xin. No wonder you turned out to be such a prick!" said Slayer, his magic sword drawn as both fighters stood in the desolate center where the darkened clouds above still echoed with thunder through the hole that Horus had made.
"Mock me all you want warrior! But I know immortal forces! And as long as Phoenix and Horus are in a state of chaos, they'll keep destroying and recreating every corner of the universe until their mortal vessels fades or they choose to throw themselves in the nearest black hole!"
"Or...All that could be avoided if those two simply found the balance that they seek."
"Balance? Ha!" scoffed Warlord Xin, his red eyes flashing menacingly, "That eye of yours is starting to play tricks with your mind, warrior! It's made you delusional! But no matter...Because I'm going to put you out of your misery before we're all shattered into cosmic dust! I may not have cosmic power, but I still have enough to defeat you!"
"Bring it on, Ugly!" yell the determined mutant warrior, firmly gripping his sword in preparation for battle, "It's time we finally finish this!"
With such words in mind, Warlord Xin began the charge, letting out a loud war cry that seemed to rally his minions around the X-men.
The sound of his sword clashing with Slayer's unleashed a booming echo of metal on metal that radiated throughout the mangled temple. It was so forceful that it knocked a few minions who were close by off their feet. Such force was a remarkable feat, showing just how much power these two were putting into this fight to the bitter end.
"Time to die warrior!" yelled Xin, their swords now sparking as they tried to overcome one another with brute strength.
"Don't you ever get tired of saying that?" grunted Slayer as he broke the grapple and began his attack.
Slayer didn't hold back this time as he moved with superhuman speed, unleashing a barrage of horizontal and vertical slashes that forced Warlord Xin on the defensive. They were in a place that was thick with metaphysical energy, so Jack knew he had the means to supply himself with the power he needed to fight.
But Warlord Xin was no pushover. Every lightning quick maneuver was blocked and diverted with his sword, allowing him to work the young warrior to a stalemate as they found themselves in another grapple. Only this time, Xin was on the offensive.
"You're getting sloppy, warrior!" he taunted as he pulled off a spin move that landed a heavy blow on the mutant warrior, causing him to let out a pained yell.
"Yes! That's it, Slayer! Feel the anguish of the shadows!"
Even with a serious wound forming, Slayer was quick to respond and hit Warlord Xin with an upper diagonal slash. Naturally, the shadowy warlord motioned to block this attack, but the momentum of Jack's movement allowed him to divert the direction of his blade and pulled off a spin move that impaled the jungle madman right through the gut.
"RRRAHHHHHHHH!" he yelled, sounding like the cries of a thousand tortures souls.
"Pure chi still stings like a bitch, doesn't it?" taunted the mutant warrior as he pulled his sword out in quick, fluid motion, causing Warlord Xin even more pain.
Kicking it into high gear, Warlord Xin unleashed the power of shadow magic and his body was soon glowing with the evil energy of the blackest magic. Slayer responded by tapping the surrounding energy and forming a field of purified chi around his body. It was an act that gave them both a new burst of energy and as they both let out deafening war cries, the sound of colliding swords echoed through the chamber.
"Yeah! Come on, Slayer!" yelled Iceman as he froze a squad of minions that were trying to sneak up on him, "Kick his evil ass!"
"Dude, NOW you're rooting for him?!" exclaimed Dazzler, using the surrounding sounds to unleash more energy sparks.
"Hey, I figure if he wins, we all win! So let's show a little support!"
"What are you, Bobby? A cheerleader?!" yelled Ororo, who was staying high in the air, away from these creatures that had once haunted her nightmares, "Let's just get rid of these things!"
"Easy Ro! Now ain't the time to be losing your mind!" yelled Logan as he tore through minion after minion, "Just stay focused! We beat Xin, we all win!"
"I'll take that, comrade!" said Piotr as nearly two dozen dark soldiers tried to pile on top of him, only to be met with the raw, unabated strength of the Russian Colossus.
Warlord Xin's minions wouldn't let up. With every being they destroyed, three more took their place. They showed no fear, no will, and no limits to their endurance. They just kept coming, fueled by the endless rage of a madman. Whenever Xin suffered a blow from Slayer, they all felt it and they all faltered. But whenever he was invigorated, they all became stronger and more difficult to overcome.
Either way, it was all on Slayer to take down Xin. And with their epic fight turning into a lightshow of magic, speed, and strength, it was hard to tell who was winning.
"You ugly...Son of a...Bitch!" yelled Slayer as he went on the attack, using all the mystical power her could muster to overcome his tenacious enemy.
"Err! You can't win, Slayer! You'll NEVER win!" taunted Warlord Xin as he blocked and diverted each slash.
Emotions ran high as the forces of darkness and light collided in a show of great force. Whatever one did, the other countered. When Slayer delivered a devastating blow, Warlord Xin responded with a shot of his own. It was beginning to take a toll on both of them as Slayer's armor began to rupture and Warlord Xin's once majestic attire grew increasingly disheveled.
Yet neither fighter showed any signs of letting up. They were too evenly matched. Such a struggle was truly epic as good and evil tried to overcome one another and two bitter enemies struggled to end this once and for all.
"You know we're all going to die, Slayer..." grunted Warlord Xin as he and Slayer were caught in another grapple, "Once Horus and Phoenix are corrupted enough, we'll all be cosmic dust!"
"Then I guess we better make this last fight count!" shot the mutant warrior.
"Err! You fool! This is all your fault! You killed this world! If you had let me take that power, it would still exist and prosper under my rule!"
"Don't bullshit me, Xin! I know full well that everybody on this planet would rather die than live under your rule!"
"That's your biased opinion! History may see me as a malevolent entity of the shadows, but how does that fare compared to one who claims to fight for justice and ends up destroying the planet in the process?"
Upon hearing those words, Jack let out a cynical laugh as he broke the grapple and gripped his sword in preparation for another attack.
"You really don't get it, do you?" he taunted, "History is only a collection of facts that everybody chooses to agree upon, not a script of judgment. And even if it was, I couldn't care less how I'm remembered. I don't give a damn about justice, peace, or the world in general! I do what I do for one reason and one reason alone...Honor!"
Warlord Xin's shadowy form was showing signs of fatigue as black blood seeped through his armor. His eyes were glowing with complete and utter hatred. It was bad enough that this pestilent warrior had stopped him in his hour of triumph, but to remain so stubborn was more than he could handle. In his malevolent eyes, he just had to die.
"Err! I swear I'll send you to rot in the eternal pits of torment even if I have to go with you!"
"Suit yourself, Xin..." grunted Slayer, ignoring the blood trailing down his face as he stared down his enemy, "Now come on! Let's dance!"
While the fight between the forces of Warlord Xin, Slayer, and the X-men raged on, something far grander was brewing in the vast cosmos of space. Two powerful entities were soaring through the outer heavens at speeds that traversed great distances in mere seconds. Such acts were impossible for mortal beings to comprehend, but for Horus and Phoenix it was as easy as breathing.
"So confused...So lost. Every emotion, every feeling, every memory...It's all so...Strange."
The holy entity known as Horus, the son of Re, was flying aimlessly through space with no direction or destination in mind. He was an immortal force bound within the body of a mortal being. It was so deeply confusing, but after going through that ritual with Warlord Xin, he was more fragmented then ever.
He felt pain, anger, rage, and unparalleled hatred under the evil spirit's power. These were not things an immortal felt. These were moral sensations. And the more he thought about them, the more confused he became. So he just kept flying.
Not far behind Horus was the equally majestic cosmic force known as Phoenix. Like him, she was bound in a vessel known as Jean Grey, yet unlike him she had resided in this vessel longer. And during that time, she had learned about these mortal sensations. From the time the Hellfire Club tried to corrupt her to the time when she saved all those lives by destroying that nuclear power plant, she had experienced so much.
But after feeling Horus manifest, she felt something she had yet to truly experience. While bound to Jean Grey, she became acquainted with this feeling known as love. It was quite a sensation, but her mortal vessel had it in abundance. She had a deep love for Scott Summers...A love that made the immortal entity feel things that it was still trying to understand. But when Horus manifested, this feeling grew stronger and after eons of searching, she felt as though this was the key to making herself whole again.
"Horus! Please, let me help you!"
The two confused entities soared through space, flying by amazing sights that no mortal eyes had ever seen before. They passed stars, planets, novas, and nebulas that were so majestic and beautiful, but this failed to slow them as they kept on soaring like the divine birds they were.
Eventually, they flew so far that they were outside the Milky Way and ascending to the point in the cosmos where they could make out entire clusters of galaxies. And it was at this point that the confused entity known as Horus finally stopped.
"The cosmos...So vast and expansive. The power to create and destroy...All within the palm of my hand. But...Why? Why am I here? What is my purpose? Of what use could such power be to a universe of such great chaos?"
Even for an immortal entity, the answers seemed all but impossible. Hovering in a halo of fire, the body of Scott Summers turned around and gazed back at where came from, watching with awe at the sight that no such being had ever witnessed before.
It was so peaceful on the surface, yet so chaotic at the same time. He was so confused. All these feelings and sensations wouldn't leave him even out here in the vastness of infinity. So how was he to manage them? How was he to find his purpose?
Then suddenly, a beautiful voice interrupted Horus from his conflicted musings.
"Phoenix...Is that you?"
From the vast distance before him, the beautiful image of the Phoenix emerged, taking its rightful place at the side of her love. The closer she got, the more she could feel him in her mind through the link that connected Scott Summers and Jean Grey. It caused the emotions within her mortal vessel to intensify, their holy fires now mixing in a plethora of feelings, sensations, and emotions.
"Horus...Please. Let me help you. I need you."
"Yes...Phoenix...I need you too, but it...It's all so strange. I don't understand any of this! Why are we here? What's going on? Why have we been bound to these mortal vessels? Why?!"
"I...I don't know. But I'm here now. We can figure this out together."
Drawing herself in closer, Phoenix took her fellow immortal in her arms. It was a gesture that Horus graciously accepted, wanting so desperately for something...Anything to hold onto. And when he felt his love's warmth, a wave of new sensations washed over him.
Scott Summers and Jean Grey reacted as well. Even though they were mere vessels, they too were becoming a part of this in a way that extended beyond their mortal limits. It was unlike anything any human could comprehend, but the emotions were strong enough to make such details irrelevant.
"So warm...Phoenix, I can...I can feel you. Even within Scott Summers, I can feel you. How? Why?"
"That's a question I too have been pondering, my love. But I'm beginning to think that maybe this is the moment where we finally understand our true purpose."
"Yes, our purpose! But why must we seek it through these mortal vessels? For eons, I remained disembodied, empty, and lost. Yet when I felt the birth of the mortal known as Scott Summers, I felt a connection."
"Yes, I understand. It was the same for me when I felt the birth of Jean Grey."
"They reached out to us in their earliest moments. They reached out to each other as well. And of all the beings that would embody our power, it came about through these two souls. And when I first felt it, I thought my emptiness would be filled when we became one. But when I was forced into merging with his being I was bombarded with all these overwhelming sensations!"
"Indeed, I experienced that as well when I was forced into Jean Grey. At first I felt euphoria for finding my vessel after all this time, but when I began to experience mortal feelings, I just...I couldn't control myself. But at the same time, these new feelings began to change me. Things like passion, emotion, and feeling...It was all so new to me. And the only way to maintain control was to suppress it. But it just...It was so hard! I was becoming...Becoming..."
The divine entity was unable to finish as she lost herself in the confusion. She actually began to shed tears...Tears of fiery sorrow for the part of her that she couldn't balance.
It was a sight that struck Horus in a way that he had yet to experience. But unlike the other sensations that he had felt, this was different. Through the link between Scott Summers and Jean Grey, he could feel this great depth of emotion between them. It felt...Good. It felt really good. It was warm, comforting, and undeniably strong.
But what was it? What was this feeling between Scott Summers and Jean Grey that seemed to parallel the connection between him and Phoenix.
"Phoenix...Don't cry. Don't cry."
"I can't help it! All this time, it's been a battle! A struggle! The more I fight, the more confused I become! Am I Phoenix or am I Jean Grey?! Are we separate or are we one?! I don't know! I just don't know! All I know is I keep feeling these sensations with her. And every time I look at you...They grow stronger."
"Yes, I feel it to. It is what guided me during those first chaotic moments in my mortal vessel. But I know not what this is...I only know what Scott Summers would call it if he were with Jean Grey...Love."
Upon speaking that word, the two immortal beings embraced one another even more, not wanting to let go. Their flames mixed with one another in strong show of passion and emotion. They could feel the connection between them growing stronger. From Scott Summers and Jean Grey to the level of their divine power, it burned so brightly.
And from this, something inside them began to stir...Something that defied even the realm of the immortal.
What happened next transcended all the boundaries of time and space. Slowly, their faces drifted closer, the fires of their divine power burning with intense passion. Their hands began to roam about one another's mortal bodies, the sensations so deeply amplified by the divine prowess of their state.
The stars and galaxies seemed to shine with greater intensity as if they were reacting to this powerful connection between Phoenix and Horus. Then, as their lips met, it all came together for them.
Their bodies were enraptured in the deepest of passion, the lines between mortal and immortal blurring like never before. Scott Summers and Jean Grey were just as present as Horus and Phoenix. This connection, this feeling, this sensation...It was filling the emptiness inside them. And it was all linked by one word...Love.
"Jean...I...I understand now. It...It's beginning to finally make sense!"
"Yes...Yes, I feel it too! All this time...I wasn't trying to find control. I was trying to find balance."
"Balance...Through emotions, passion, and feeling. And the mortal vessels of Scott Summers and Jean Grey are the mediums for finding it! Their love for each other and their connection with us...It's all meant to bring balance!"
In a moment of revelation, the two immortal entities were enraptured with a feeling of completion that went beyond the levels of mortality and divinity. They knew why they were here. They knew why they manifested in these beings. And at long last, they knew the path they had to walk in order to find their peace.
"Phoenix...Jean...Whether your one or the other, mortal or immortal, there is one thing that links us...Love. My love for you...Your love for me...On every level of every state, it is love that binds us. And through love, all these feelings...Joy, sorrow, hatred, happiness, and anger...They are all put into harmony. Neither flawed nor perfect, it is these feelings that fill our emptiness."
"And it is together, through our mortal beings that we can finally be at peace. We can finally bring harmony from chaos."
"Yes...Scott Summers and Jean Grey...Forever our mortal manifestations...Forever our vital consciousness. And through the link they share...And the link we share as well...We find our balance."
It had literally been an eternity waiting for this moment. And in the end, it was because of two mortals who just happened to be deeply in love that these two entities had found the way.
Now, as they held hands, the mortal and immortal parts of their being were all brought to surface in order to share this moment together. The final step in their journey to peace was about to be taken. And together, they would create clarity from confusion...Peace from chaos. And all they needed was love.
"Jean...I love you...Of all the power that lies within us, no words can ever describe that which I feel for you."
"I love you too, Scott. And with me...It's the thought that counts. And yours...Like you...Are beautiful."
Then, in a show of newfound harmony, the two cosmic lovers met in a passionate kiss. The fires of their immortal flames mixed in a brilliant display of beauty and splendor. And with their mortal bodies so heightened with the majesty of mortal passion, the holy entities were consumed with the wondrous sensations of life, bliss, and harmony.
And through their mortal vessels, the two beings finally experienced the greatest sensation of them all whether it be through earthly or divine...Peace.
Back in the temple, the fight was still raging as both Slayer and Warlord Xin wore each other down. They each showed signs of fatigue, their armor cracked and their bodies seeping with blood. As powerful as Warlord Xin was, he couldn't escape the effects of Jack's sword. The blade of pure chi was reeking havoc on his darkened form and it was showing in his minions.
"Come on Herr Slayer! Zhey are beginning to weaken!" urged Kurt as he and Colossus manhandled an entire platoon of minions.
"Yeah, keep it up pal! Help us through this and I'll get you more booze than you know what to do with!" yelled Dazzler, sticking close to Bobby as they kept up with their distance attacks after having suffered a few scrapes and bruises.
"Booze?! How can you think of booze at a time like this?!" exclaimed Bobby.
"Just shut up and keep shooting!" yelled the former punk rocker.
As strange as it was rooting for a guy they had once deemed an enemy, it was becoming apparent that Slayer had been telling the truth when he said that there were much darker forces at work here. And Warlord Xin was beyond dark. A being like this couldn't be allowed to inflict any more pain and it had to end here.
Bolstered by support from the X-men, Slayer firmly gripped his sword despite his bodily pain and prepared another attack.
"You can't keep this up forever, mortal!" boasted Warlord Xin, his black blood staining his dark armor, "Eventually, you will succumb to the fate of all those who oppose me."
"Blah, fucking, blah," scoffed Slayer, "You think that's going to stop me? Either I kill you now! Or die trying!"
"Ha! If it's death you want, its death you shall receive!"
Letting out a round of war cries, Slayer and Warlord Xin lunged forward, their swords clashing in a show of sparks and mystical energy. Their bodies continued to glow as they tried to use magic to overcome one another, but it was still a bitter stalemate.
Slayer tried to pull of a double lunge stabbing move that was usually the most effective killing maneuver in his style of swordsmanship, but Warlord Xin's heavy, oversized sword had the advantage of giving him more momentum, allowing him to dodge and avoid the attack by the margin of a human hair.
Then, he tried to go on the offensive, unleashing a wave of horizontal slashes and spin attacks that forced Slayer to go on the defensive. His sword may have been big and heavy, but with Xin's strength, that was irrelevant and he kept it moving at great speeds even as Slayer tried to disrupt his motions.
"You're fast! But not fast enough!" yelled Warlord Xin as Slayer rolled under another one of his horizontal slashes.
"Thanks for the hint. Guess that means I'll just move faster!"
Then, using his mystical abilities, Slayer summoned the purple mist that carried him great distances and used it to accelerate his speed. This surprised Xin as Slayer managed to land several heavy blows with his blade, causing him to let out anguishing cries.
"Errrrrrahhhhhhh! You little..."
His speed was proving deadlier than the jungle warrior could have imagined, but it wouldn't win him the battle as Warlord Xin summoned some magic of his own. With Slayer still moving at speeds masked by his mist, the evil warlord drew on his mastery of the shadows to shower the area in a veil of darkness that momentarily blinded Slayer.
And with only a split second moment to attack, Warlord Xin made what he hoped would be the death blow.
"DIE SLAYER!" he yelled as he delivered a strong, diagonal slash that tripped the mutant warrior up and sent him tumbling to the ground.
"Damn!" he cursed, feeling his leg sting as if it was on fire, "You son of a..."
"No more games! Now you shall perish at my hands!"
Then, just as Warlord Xin was making his final run, Wolverine sprang into action, tearing through the minions that had been holding him up and leaping into the central area. His claws were fully drawn and his temper was raging. This psycho had caused them enough grief and if Slayer couldn't finish it on his own then he was going to have to lend a claw.
"Not today, bub! This guy still owes me a rematch!" yelled Logan as he rolled over towards where Slayer was still trying to get up and lunged forth with both hands.
And unfortunately for Warlord Xin, his focus on Slayer caused him to lapse just enough to run right into Logan's trap. He was moving too fast and had too much momentum going as he ran right into Logan's adamantium claws. And like a pin cushion, he was impaled through the gut, causing more blackened blood to flow over his sinister form.
"NO!" yelled the jungle general of shadows as he was hit with a searing burst of pain.
"What one can't do...Two can!" shot Slayer, his leg now out of his mind as he lunged forth and supplemented Logan's attack with a few quick sword slashes of his own.
But neither Logan nor Slayer let up. Slayer kept slashing Logan kept stabbing as pure chi mixed with adamantium, giving Warlord Xin not one, but two targets to worry about. And while he managed to dodge a few, he was unable to dodge both.
Such blows quickly took their toll, causing him to saunter in his once confident poise. His whole body became stained with black blood and his minions grew increasingly weaker against the X-men.
"You're out of time, Xin!" shot Slayer as he and Logan stood over their adversary.
"Yeah, you picked the wrong people to mess with!" growled Logan, "Now I'm sendin' you back to where you came from in a box of confetti!"
Despite his bad situation, Warlord Xin stayed strong and scoffed at their feeble threats.
"Ha! You think you pitiful mortals can overcome the master of shadows? I am what nightmares are made of! I live on regardless of how much you hurt me! Face it...As long as my spirit remains fueled by the forces of darkness, you're just wasting your time! I am power! I am the blackest of night! I am invincible!"
"SHUT UP!!!" came a raging voice from above.
Looking up at the source of the voice, even Slayer and Logan were surprised at what they saw. It was none other than the one person who feared Warlord Xin most...Ororo Munroe. The weakened minions allowed her to break through and plow her way towards the source of so many nightmares. And with emotions running high, her powers ran at the force of a super typhoon...Focusing entirely on Xin.
"YOU CRUEL EXCUSE FOR JUNGLE SHIT!" she yelled as she hit the ancient being with an F5 tornado and a plethora of lightning strikes, "I'M SICK OF FEARING YOU! I'M SICK OF STILL HAVING NIGHTMARES ABOUT YOU!"
Warlord Xin kept trying to fight his way through the raw, unabated force of Ororo's weather powers, but he was having little success as his armor and sword conducted the lightning and further weakened him.
Over with the others, Xin's minions were beginning to fall apart. Several were starting to literally dissolve into dust. Their master's weakness was just too much for them to handle and there was no stopping the unseen onslaught.
"Hey! They're starting to retreat!" exclaimed Bobby, growing more confident as the vast army began dissolving right before his eyes.
"Looks like their master can't keep up the charade," said Piotr as he did a ramming style maneuver that knocked the last major clusters out like bowling pins.
"Yeah, these things aren't so tough!" yelled a cocky Dazzler as she watched more minions fall apart, "Cut off the head, the rest of the body bleeds!"
"Well you can write a song about it after it's over, Ali! But let's just finish the job!" said Bobby, already clamoring for a barrel of aspirin.
With Warlord Xin's minions falling apart and the overwhelming force of nature bearing down on him, the noose was tightening around the former Congo killer. He kept trying to overcome the forces of wind and lightning, but Ooro just wouldn't let up...Not as long as she sought to rid herself from nightmares of this beast once and for all.
"Uh...Ya think we ought to stop her?" said Logan, still standing on the sidelines as he watched Warlord Xin take more punishment.
"If you want to, be my guest," said Slayer with a slight laugh, "But I think your little windrider has been spending too much time around you. Guess, wildmen make her hot."
That earned the mutant warrior a scorn from Wolverine, but much to his surprise, he didn't retort. Now was not the time to get into arguments about his personal life. But he had to admit, Ororo sure did give his berserker rage a run for its money with the level of punishment she was inflicting on this madman
"GET OUT OF MY NIGHTMARES! GET OUT OF MY HOMELAND!" she screamed as she hit him with more lightning, "YOU'VE CAUSED ENOUGH SUFFERING! NOW YOUR REIGN OF TERROR ENDS HERE!"
However, despite Ororo's seemingly endless barrage, Warlord Xin just kept going. He wouldn't fall, even to the forces of nature. His shadowy form took all the punishment she dished out and eventually the young weather which began to wear herself out.
"You poor, pitiful child..." he grunted, his hand now glowing in a dark bluish haze, "You really think your nightmares will go away once I'm through with you?"
Then, in a show of his tenacity, Warlord Xin concentrated what energy he had left on a single blast of shadow magic. It came in the form of a glowing orb that shot through the air like a bullet and once it hit Ororo, she was overcome by a paralyzing force.
"Ororo!" yelled Logan as he ran over to catch her in his arms before she hit the ground.
Once she was down, the winds and lightning stopped. Warlord Xin was reeling, but he was far from defeated. He was barely standing now as he stared Slayer down, ready to continue the fight. But in his weakened state, the advantage lay with his enemies.
"You...I swear...I'll kill you!" he said in a deep rage, gripping his sword firmly.
"You're losing your edge, Xin," quipped Slayer, "You may have been able to overcome me, but do you think you'll be able to do that now in your current state?"
Warlord Xin let out another grunt, showing that he had little intention of stepping down. But soon, he was met with another crisis as the last of his minions fell.
"Finally! You're out of playmates dude!" said Bobby as he, Piotr, Kurt, and Alison joined up with Slayer, Logan, and Ororo, "So how's this going to go down?"
"You can either come quietly or we can do this the hard way, comrade," said the imposing Russian Colossus.
"Face it pal! You lose!" shot Dazzler, her body sparking with rainbow colored energy.
Warlord Xin knew he was in a bind. He was outnumbered, outgunned, and in a state of great weakness. He was couldn't summon another army and if he dared to fight on, he would surely not succeed.
Yet still, he carried a poise of confidence, his red eyes glowing brightly as he laughed at his pestilent foes.
"You pathetic mortals...You really think that destroying me is going to change anything? You may have overcome my armies, but we'll endure the same fate! Any minute now, Horus and Phoenix are going to turn this world into cosmic dust! Face it, you lose...We all lose!"
"Oh don't be so sure about that, Xin," said Slayer with a sneaky grin as the mark over his eye glowed a bright yellow color.
The X-men cast the mutant warrior a curious glance and were about to ask him what was going on, but before they get the first words out, the whole structure started to shake and two deafening cries echoed from high in the sky.
"Oh no..." said Kurt as he and the others looked up at the sky above in a daze, "Slayer, is zhat who I think it is?"
"You'll see," said Slayer, still grinning, his all seeing eye telling him everything he needed to know.
In the skies above, the darkened clouds that had swirled overhead from the ritual broke and a wave of fiery light came bursting through the gaping hole in the top of the temple.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" yelled Warlord Xin as he felt the burn from the intense light.
Through the loud cries echoing from the sky, two beings descended into the temple. They were surrounded by the flames of Phoenix and Horus, two entities with the power to create and destroy. And in the mortal vessels of Scott Summers and Jean Grey, they held one another's hand, having found what they had been searching for after so many years.
But before their quest ended, they had some personal business to take care of.
"Warlord Xin...Your time has come."
"No...No, this can't be!" yelled the jungle clad madman as he fell to his knees at the mercy of the two cosmic entities.
"You used me, Xin. You sought only to take this grand power and use it for your own greedy purposes. You inflicted harm upon me...Upon my mortal vessel, Scott Summers...And most of all, upon the people he loves and cares about."
"You...You're going to..."
However, before Warlord Xin could finish, Phoenix cut him off.
"You're presumptions are all but delusion at this point, Xin. You thought we wouldn't find our missing pieces. You thought we would be corrupted by experiencing the chaos of mortality. But you were wrong...Dead wrong."
"Impossible! You can't master mortal feelings! According to the ancient texts, you should have gone supernova by now!" yelled Warlord Xin in defiance.
It was a strange sight, seeing this once strong being beg. But for Slayer and the X-men, it was a welcome sight. Warlord Xin had inflicted enough pain upon the world and no one knew that better than Horus. And for that reason, his reign would end here.
"You're right. We should have. But before we could, I learned something that one can only learn after having experienced to joys and sorrows of a mortal mind. You don't control your feelings...Your feelings control you. It is only a matter of finding and accepting a little thing called balance."
With nothing else standing in their way, Phoenix and Horus worked together to carry out their final judgment on Warlord Xin. Working together as one, they raised their hands and summoned their cosmic powers to end this.
"No...No! Please!" begged the tyrannically warlord.
His pleas went unnoticed as he was levitated into the air by the power of Phoenix and Horus. And with a single thought over the divine forces they commanded, the two legendary birds finally ended Warlord Xin's reign once and for all.
"No...NO! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Engulfed by the bright cosmic flames of creation and destruction, the immortal master of shadows, Warlord Xin, was burned into countless ashes and torn apart. His disembodied spirit was scattered in all directions via cosmic force, ensuring that he would never take his sinister form and command his insidious army ever again.
Now, it was over. Warlord Xin had been vanquished. He was gone and he was never coming back. However, that still left one major problem. And after what they had just seen, it was unclear what was going to transpire next.
"Well, we beat Warlord Xin," said Logan as everybody stood behind Slayer, the two fiery deities still hovering before them, "Now we've got these two to deal with."
"Guess it was nice while it lasted," muttered Bobby, "Any ideas Slayer? Because after what I just saw, I think we sure could use another miracle right about now."
AN: Well, Warlord Xin is defeated! But the power of Horus and Phoenix remains as strong as ever! It's almost over folks! Stay tuned to see the final conclusion of "Eternal Flame!" What's going to happen to the X-men? What's going to happen to Scott and Jean? You'll find out soon enough as this story concludes in the final chapter! But before that comes, I'd love to know what you all think! Please send me your reviews of this story via email or post them on the fanfiction website! Thank you all very much for reading and I wish you all the best!

Overall User Rating: Sugar In The Raw 5 Gram Packets 1200/Case ( 5.0 stars from 28 reviews )
These sugar in the raw packets are delicious, easy to open, and are attractively packaged. Most of my customers have switched from white granulated sugar to raw sugar.
Robert T. from Oxford Coffee Co. Posted on 09/23/2014
Sugar in the raw is the best option for adding to coffee, especially iced coffee. It adds a great flavor to the coffee and other drinks. I highly recommend this to anyone who sells or serves coffee to a number of people.
Andrea P. Posted on 09/17/2014
Sugar in the Raw is my "go to" turbinado sugar -- beautiful coarse crystals that are perfect for topping desserts or when making a sweet bread, I sprinkle Sugar in the Raw on top after the egg wash and you'll get this wonderful syrupy texture on the crust of the bread once baked. Highly recommended for easy dispensing as each packet contains a good sized serving.
Danielle D. Posted on 09/10/2014
We purchase both sugar in the raw and stevia in the raw for our coffee shop. Our customers really like the convenience of the pre-packaged sweeteners versus using a bulk option.
Brookman C. from Kelson Inc Posted on 09/05/2014
We got a lot of customer requests wanting raw sugar available at our coffee station. Webstaurant has the best price I've been able to find! We're very pleased, and our customers are happy too!
Atlantic B. from Atlantic Baking Company Posted on 08/22/2014
This is great for our coffee shop. I haven't found a better price and easier delivery option. I'd highly recommend this product to anyone looking for high quality sugar at a good price. Just wish they sold it in bulk too!
Lauren G. from The Local NY Posted on 08/04/2014
My family loves the taste of sugar in the raw. I appreciate the unrefined quality of the sugar and it's more full taste as compared to white sugar. Nice to be able to buy packets in bulk here.
Eric S. Posted on 07/06/2014
This is a great product at a great price and value. This is an excellent way to offer a healthy alternative to white sugar packets for your guests.
Matthew T. Posted on 03/25/2014

Karen M. from sip mobile coffee company Posted on 03/17/2014
we operate a coffee ,bagel,smoothie,ice cream shop, the raw sugar option in the small portion makes a very nice addition to the condiment serving area.
Eugene M. from the bean bar Posted on 03/02/2014
We have a lot of customers who prefer sugar in the raw and having the packets to offer them makes them very happy. There a great price for the quantity.
Eric F. from Beans and Strings LLC Posted on 02/04/2014
I like using this product for all my sugar needs. The fact that it is raw sugar is a super plus in my book, considering that white sugar is bleached and all the nutrition is sucked out. At least with this sugar it has other minerals in it. Tastes good in my afternoon tea.
Jaime P. Posted on 01/13/2014
This product has a great flavor and is very popular. Good price for the amount that you get as well. Nice crunchy granules in the bottom of your cup, great with iced tea and coffee.
David H. from D.F. Posted on 11/06/2013
My customers love sugar in the raw. They don't like chemicals in their sugar so this is pure sugar. It's a great price compared to buying in the grocery store.
Laura B. Posted on 02/03/2013
Sugar In The Raw is delicious! The portions are great and the price is fantastic! Great product great price, I'll be sure to purchase again.
Michael W. Posted on 01/15/2013
Yum! Sugar in the Raw is my favorite thing to add to coffee. It is also great to sprinkle on top of cappuccinos to add sweetness and a nice crunch.
Dorothy T. Posted on 11/23/2012
These little packets are a hit! Great tasting and much better than putting a shaker of sugar on the table in my experience!! Worth every penny!
Rozetta L. Posted on 10/09/2012
I love sugar in the raw. While it is a little harder to dissolve into your beverages I don't ever have to worry about strange health risks.
Jennifer M. Posted on 09/23/2012
When running a coffee shop, keeping packets like these around is a must. They are widely recognized and everyone has their favorite. The price on here is competitive too!
Andrew L. from The Pie Kitchen Posted on 09/11/2012

Eric K. Posted on 07/25/2012
sugar in the raw is great. Its all i use in my coffee. the regular white refined sugar always gives me a headache. I hate that junk. Its nice to offer your customers the choice.
Tom M. Posted on 03/22/2012
People has different preference on how to make coffee sweet, and brown sugar is one of them, unfortunately, it is very sticky and hard to clean, Good thin they have it in 5 gram packets.
Wendy Z. Posted on 01/16/2012
We have the basket sugar packet setup on our tables, the pink, the blue, the white, and the yellow. Then I decided to try this over the conventional white packets, honestly this was cheaper, and now these are used more than anything else. Great product, great price.
Aaron h. from The new haven cafe Posted on 10/25/2011
This was a great find for us. We were always having to monitor and refill the sugar bowl, then be concerned about humidity when guests wanted it; the packets are always at the ready and fresh.
Randy D. from Brick House Bed & Breakfast Posted on 07/27/2011
I love raw sugar and this is the best price I've seen anywhere. It's a nice option for coffee. This shipped very quickly. Completely satisfied.
Sandra J. from Fare on Main Posted on 04/28/2011
We've never found a better price for sugar in the raw. And you guys ALWAYS have it in stock. Everywhere else I go I have to wait a week!
Michael R. Posted on 03/08/2011
This is the best price I found on the web! These individual packets are a great sugar substitution for those looking for a more natural sugar product.
Andy M. Posted on 12/20/2009
Much more convenient then having a shaker filled with raw sugar. These packs keep the product dry so there is less clumping involved with pouring.

Enough of me trying to humor y'all over the internet, since it's obviously not working. I like comic books, science fiction movies, chapstick, and my guitar. Oh yeah, I do some pretty cool impressions. If you wanna talk or if you have any questions, my ask box is officially open for business. :)

Is There a Romney Doctrine?By David E. Sanger, New York Times
During the Republican primary debates in January, when Mitt Romney was still trying to outmaneuver the challengers who were questioning his conservative bona fides, he made a declaration about Afghanistan that led a faction of his foreign policy advisers to shake their heads in wonderment.Read More
After Obama's Decision on Marriage, a Call to PastorsBy Peter Baker and Rachel L. Swarns, New York Times
About two hours after declaring his support for same-sex marriage last week, President Obama gathered eight or so African-American ministers on a conference call to explain himself. He had struggled with the decision, he said, but had come to believe it was the right one.Read More
After Divisive Primary, Shifting to the CenterBy John Harwood, New York Times
Presidential nominees have several options for repositioning after ideologically charged primary campaigns: strategic silence, new proposals, a different tone on the brighter general election stage. And sometimes they can do nothing and watch their rivals do the shifting.Read More
Romney Seeks Evangelical Votes; Opposes Gay MarriageBy Sam Youngman, Reuters
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney sought on Saturday to calm fears that his Mormon faith would be an obstacle to evangelical Christian voters, stressing shared conservative values while acknowledging religious differences.

Robert Caro revives Kennedy-Johnson feudBy Jonathan Martin and John F. Harris, Politico
To be a Democrat in Washington in the mid-1960s was to be confronted daily with the burning question: Which side are you on? There was the side with the power, President Lyndon B. Johnson and his team in the White House. And there was the side with the glamour, Robert F. Kennedy and his team of loyalists— mourning the death of John F. Kennedy, appalled by a man they regarded as a crude pretender in the Oval Office, dreaming of the day when the Kennedy reign would be restored.Read More

An Idea Whose Time Has ComeBy Todd S. Purdum, Vanity Fair
It doesn't really matter whether the substance of what Joe Biden said last Sunday about gay marriage was so very different from what his boss, Barack Obama, had said about the subject in the past (and there's good evidence that it was not). What matters is the way that Biden said he was "absolutely comfortable" with same-sex marriage, which made what Obama had said before—that his own views were "evolving"—look too cute by half.Read More
Obama Campaign Pushes the Issue of Gay MarriageBy Mark Landler and Jeff Zeleny, New York Times
Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. apologized to President Obama for hastening him into an endorsement of same-sex marriage, several people briefed on the exchange said Thursday, even as the White House sought to capitalize in the campaign on Mr. Obama's long-awaited expression of support.Read More
What Kind of Kid Was Mitt Romney?By John Dickerson, Slate
One of the many tensions in evaluating presidential candidates is that we don't want to disqualify them based on the stupidity of their youth. George W. Bush's blanket denial that "when I was young and irresponsible I was young and irresponsible" seems like a good rule. On the other hand, we want to know who these candidates are who seek to lead us (especially when they spend so much time offering us synthetic versions of themselves).Read More
Same-Sex Marriage Support Shows Pace of Social Change AcceleratingBy Peter Baker, New York Times
When Bill Clinton was president, he waited until almost 1 in the morning in 1996 to sign a bill defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman. He did not like it, but was unwilling to veto it 45 days before an election. Sixteen years later, President Obama endorsed same-sex marriage, a journey reflecting not just his own personal "evolution," but also the dizzying pace of social change in an age of technology.Read More
Asked About Gay Rights, Boehner Sticks to EconomyBy Janet Hook, Wall Street Journal
One day after President Barack Obama roiled the political world by declaring his support for gay marriage, House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) Thursday seemed determined to keep his distance from the subject. Pressed on the gay marriage issue at his weekly press conference, Mr. Boehner repeatedly tried to steer the discussion back to the economy.

Obama Evolves on Gay MarriageBy Doyle McManus, Los Angeles Times
President Obama's announcement Wednesday that he was done "evolving" and now supports same-sex marriage was, in retrospect, inevitable. Vice President Joe Biden made it so Sunday, when he remarked almost casually that he had grown "comfortable" with gay marriage. Biden's comfort level made Obama the nation's least comfortable politician, tied up in a knot of convoluted positions that he had hoped voters on both sides would overlook.Read More
Obama's Gay Marriage Turnabout Forced Public by BidenBy Margaret Talev and Julianna Goldman, Bloomberg News
At a fundraiser with gay activists in New York last June, the day before state legislators passed a same-sex marriage law, President Barack Obama considered the choice they were making. He concluded he'd almost certainly have voted "yes" too. Conversations with staff, family, friends and supporters also moved him in that direction.Read More
Foiled Bomb Plot Highlights Growing CIA-Saudi Arabian TiesBy Yochi J. Dreazen, National Journal
The U.S. intelligence community has won plaudits for helping derail a series of recent terror plots, including this week's disclosure of an al-Qaida affiliate's attempt to use a sophisticated underwear bomb to destroy a Western jetliner. But the U.S. has a quiet ally who has been instrumental in stopping both the new plot and an earlier militant attempt to destroy U.S. cargo planes by secretly shipping explosives in conventional mail packages: Saudi Arabia, a country once derided as a financial supporter of Islamic militants around the globe.Read More From National Journal
Obama's Gay-Marriage Stance Brings Uncertain Political FalloutBy Karen Tumulty, Washington Post
President Obama hoped that announcing his change of heart in favor of same-sex marriage would put the issue to rest as a topic in his bid for re-election. The immediate result, however, was that both sides seized upon it as an opportunity to energize their bases.

Putin to Skip Group of 8 Session, Delaying Postelection Meeting With ObamaBy Helene Cooper and Ellen Barry, New York Times
Russia's newly inaugurated president, Vladimir V. Putin, will not attend a summit meeting of world leaders in Maryland next week, the White House said on Wednesday, postponing until June the much-anticipated first meeting of President Obama and Mr. Putin as the leaders of their respective countries.Read More
The Audacity of EvolutionBy John Dickerson, Slate
Joe Biden has such power over evolution he might make an amoeba get up and walk. Three days ago the vice president announced on Meet the Press that he supported same-sex couples getting married. Wednesday, President Obama announced that after a many-year evolution on the issue, he believed the same thing. The first African-American president became the first ever to announce his support for same-sex marriage. This is a landmark civil rights moment that happened awfully fast.Read More

Will Toxic GOP Governors Infect Romney?By Beth Reinhard, National Journal
Florida Gov. Rick Scott didn't endorse Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney until last month, after rival Rick Santorum dropped out. It was a tardy and lackluster show of support. "Mitt Romney will be our party's nominee, and it is critical that all Republicans coalesce," Scott said in a written statement, as if forced to acknowledge the inevitable, like it or not. The two former corporate executives, who could probably spend all day swapping success stories, have never campaigned together.Read More From National Journal

Olmponies - "Cave ponies"
A race of pony found living in complete darkness of the equestrian subterranian cave systems.
Their appearance can be quite intimidating and eerie - a slim and elongated body with a bulkier head, devoid of any distinguishing features apart from their mouth. Their coatless skin is pale, slimy and sensitive to light. Their limbs are thin and fragile.
The respiratory system consists of bright red gills that are attached to their body mostly on the head, the back or even the tail and are capable of collecting oxygen from both air and water, but since their "gills" are quite fragile, they prefer a calm, watery environment, where they graze on algae and fungi.
Adapted to zero light conditions, they lack eyes , but make up for it with a range of other keen senses, as evidenced by their bulky snouts and larger ears. Their sense of smell is very sharp as well as their hearing. Their most fascinating attribute, however, are their complex electroreceptors, that detect weak electric fields in other living beings, which allow them to discern emotions, feelings and sometimes even thoughts from the electrical activity of a persons heart and nervous system.
Contrasting their eerie appearance, they are known to be peaceful and caring creatures, known to help and guide lost ponies safely out of the caves…

Major! From Spice Girl to footballer's wife to fashion designer, Victoria Beckham is eager to share her personal style with the world. The former pop star recently launched a collection of high-end dresses, so for a hefty price, you, too, can dress like Posh.
Victoria Beckham will make a cameo in Paula Abdul's suddenly vacant seat on the judge's panel of American Idol this fall, and since she's up there with J-Simps on our Guilty Crush list, we cannot wait.
Mrs. Beckham belongs to a special breed of cartoon-ish characters you want to dismiss, but then actually manages to design a legit dress line (Jessica's got the shoes and maybe, the lingerie). Suddenly, your dubious crush can turn to full-blown admiration. We're ready for Posh's kooky charm to brighten the night (Paula's own is so last season) when she makes her Idol appearance, while taking into account she, for all we know, has no musical authority whatsoever.

The Phillies and Pirates combined to make six errors last night, but it was the Phillies who came out on top with an 8-3 win in the series opener. Pittsburgh wasn't exactly at the top of their game, making three errors in the first inning and walking three straight hitters in the seventh with the third walk forcing in a run.
Joe Blanton hasn't pitched well at all of late, but was better last night, allowing three runs, only two of which were earned, over seven innings. There's a whole lot not going well for the Phillies these days, but one thing that is going well is that they are finding a way to win Blanton's starts no matter how he pitches. They've won five of the last eight games he's started — during those outings, Blanton has thrown to a 6.75 ERA and allowed 16 home runs in 49 1/3 innings. In three of the five wins, Blanton has allowed five or more runs in the game.
For the season, Blanton has allowed 3.25 times as many home runs to right-handed batters as he has allowed walks to right-handed batters (four walks and 13 home runs).
Jimmy Rollins continues to pound the ball at the top of the order for the Phillies. He was 2-for-5 with a double and a home run in last night's game, providing the only extra-base hits the Phillies would get in the contest. He's hitting 393/433/750 over his last 60 plate appearances (22-for-56 with eight doubles and four home runs).
The Phillies are 35-40 on the year after beating the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-3 last night. They are tied for fourth-place in the NL East with the Marlins, eight games behind the Nationals.
Blanton got the start for the Phillies and went seven innings, allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk. Only two of the runs were earned. Two of the hits went for extra-bases, a double and a home run. He struck out eight. It was the second time in his last eight starts that he allowed less than five runs in a start.
Blanton has walked 13 batters on the year and allowed 18 home runs. His walk rate is about half of what it has been for his career and the results overall are atrocious. He needs to get his home run rate down really soon, even if it means a lot more walks.
Blanton got the first two in the top of the first before Andrew McCutchen hit a ball to short that Rollins didn't handle for an error. Garrett Jones followed that with a walk that put two men on for Neil Walker, but Blanton got Walker to ground to second to turn the Pirates away.
Pedro Alvarez singled to center to start the top of the second with the Phils up 4-0. Righty Mike McKenry was next, hitting for Rod Barajas, and moved Alvarez up to second with a single to left. Blanton got Clint Barmes to hit into a double-play before striking pitcher Jeff Karstens out to set Pittsburgh down.
With one out in the third, Jose Tabata hit a 1-0 pitch out to right-center, cutting the lead to 4-1. Blanton got the next three.
Another home run for Blanton, who came into the game having allowed 15 home runs in 42 1/3 innings over his last seven starts.
The Phillies were up 5-1 when Blanton started the fourth. Walker led off and doubled to left, but Blanton struck the next two hitters out behind him. Barmes was next, though, and singled to center. Pence charged, fielded and threw home. The plate at the plate was close, but Pence's throw was a little on the first base side of the plate and Walker slid in safe to make it 5-2. Barmes took second on the play at the plate, but Blanton struck Karstens out to leave him there.
Blanton got Alex Presley on a fly ball to right for the first out of the fifth with the Phils up 7-2. Tabata was next and hit a ball down the third base line. Polanco fielded, but his throw to first was way high for an error that allowed Tabata to take second. McCutchen followed with a single into center that scored Tabata. 7-3. Jones was the next hitter and grounded back to the mound. Blanton fielded and threw to second for the second out. Blanton struck Walker out swinging to leave Jones at first.
Blanton allowed a leadoff single to Alvarez to start the seventh, but got the next three. Righty Matt Hague hit for Karstens and flew to right for the third out.
Diekman started the eighth with the Phillies up 8-3. He walked the leadoff man Jones to start the frame, but got Walker to ground into a double-play behind him. Diekman struck Alvarez out for the third out.
Diekman dropped his ERA to 3.86 with his 16th appearance. He's walking way too many hitters, having allowed ten walks in 14 innings.
Qualls started the ninth with a five-run lead. He allowed a leadoff single to McKenry, but got Barmes to hit into a double-play behind him. Pinch-hitter Casey McGehee grounded to third for the third out.
Qualls was pitching for the third straight day. The Phillies don't have someone else who can pitch the ninth with a five-run lead? Savery has thrown two-thirds of an inning since June 12. Valdes has made one appearance since being recalled on June 20. Schwimer has thrown 1 2/3 innings since June 16. Qualls needs to pitch for the third day in a row and for the fifth time in six days? Assuming all three of Savery, Valdes and Schwimer are available, that's a mistake, even against three righties in the ninth.
Qualls hasn't been charged with a run over 8 1/3 innings in his last nine appearances. The Phillies do need another right-handed reliever in the pen. Papelbon is the closer, Qualls can't ever pitch against lefties and Schwimer has had some problems getting people out.
The Phillies lineup against righty Jeff Karstens went (1) Rollins (2) Pierre (3) Pence (4) Ruiz (5) Victorino (6) Polanco (7) Wigginton (8) Fontenot. Pierre in left and Fontenot at second against the righty. Wigginton plays first against the righty with Mayberry on the bench.
Rollins led off the bottom of the first with a double to right and Pierre bunted him to third with the first out. Pence followed with a single to right that scored Rollins and put the Phils up 1-0. Ruiz was next and singled to right. Tabata fielded and threw to third, not in time to get Pence. Ruiz headed for second when the throw went to third. Alvarez took Tabata's throw and threw to second, throwing the ball into right field for the first error of the play. Tabata got to the ball and threw home as Pence tried to score, but his throw was not handled at the plate for another error, allowing Pence to score and make it 2-0 with Ruiz on third. Victorino was next and singled into center, scoring Ruiz to make it 3-0. Polanco was next and singled to right. Victorino headed to third and Tabata threw there. Again his throw was on line and again it was not handled for another error. This one allowed Victorino to score and extend the lead to 4-0 with Polanco on second. Wigginton and Fontenot both struck out swinging to leave Polanco on second.
Wild play on the Ruiz single. Tabata's throw from right after the Alvarez error should have been handled at the plate, but they still wouldn't have gotten Pence. Three errors in the frame for the Pirates. Tabata should be wary of throwing the ball anywhere.
The Phillies went in order in the second.
It was 4-1 when they hit in the third. Ruiz singled with one out, stole second and went to third on a ground out by Victorino. Polanco was next and singled into center, scoring Ruiz to make it 5-1. Wigginton grounded to third for the third out.
It was 5-2 when the Phillies hit in the fourth. Fontenot led off with a single. Blanton tried to bunt him to second, but popped up to Alvarez for the first out. Fontenot stole second before Rollins hit a 3-0 pitch out to right, putting the Phils up 7-2. Pierre flew to center for the second out before Pence reached on an infield single. Ruiz struck out swinging for the third out.
Rollins swinging 3-0 and hits the ball out of the yard. It's his sixth home run in June. Through May 12, Rollins had 147 plate appearances for the season in which he hit 230/276/267 with five doubles and no home runs. Since May 12 he has gotten 180 plate appearances in which he has hit 299/350/539 with 12 doubles and eight home runs.
It was 7-3 when the Phillies hit in the fifth. With two outs and nobody on, Wigginton hit a ball to short that Barmes didn't handle for the fourth Pirates error of the game. Fontenot moved Wigginton to third with a single, but Blanton grounded to short to leave the runners stranded.
Lefty Doug Slaten set the Phillies down in order in the sixth.
A single by Ruiz and walks to Victorino and Polanco, all issued by Slaten, loaded the bases for Wigginton to start the seventh. He got to hit against the lefty, too, and walked as well to force in Ruiz and extend the lead to 8-3 with the bases still loaded. Fontenot struck out swinging for the first out. Luna hit for Blanton and struck out for the second. Rollins struck out for the third.
Just one run for the Phils in the inning after their first four hitters reach on a single and three walks. After the first run, they can't get any more with nobody out and the bases loaded as Fontenot and Luna both strike out with less than two outs.
Righty Jared Hughes set the Phils down in order in the eighth.
Rollins was 2-for-5 in the game with a double and a home run.
Pierre was 0-for-3. He's 5-for-his-last-21 (.238).
Pence 2-for-5 with an RBI. 8-for-his-last-37 (.216).
Ruiz 3-for-5 with three singles. .313 in April, .418 in May and .319 in June.
Victorino 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI. 3-for-his-last-14 (.214).
Polanco 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI. He's 4-for-his-last-6 with two walks and two doubles. He has walked six times in his last 31 plate appearances and six times in his first 190 plate appearances for the season.
Wigginton 0-for-3 with a walk and an RBI. 8-for-his-last-49 (.163). 207/274/350 over his last 157 plate appearances.
Fontenot was 2-for-4 and struck out twice, including once with the bases loaded and nobody out. He's hitting .345 for the year.
Worley (3-4, 2.78) faces lefty Eric Bedard (4-7, 4.13) tonight. Worley has thrown to a 1.35 ERA over his last three games and the Phillies have lost all three. Bedard threw to a 2.57 ERA in his first seven starts on the year. Over his last seven appearances he has thrown to a 5.59 ERA and allowed 18 walks in 37 innings.

So, I'm currently taking (and have been since September '13) Protonix, a PPI and I know this is not recommended during the 1st trimester. I have been working with my GI Dr. to gradually ween myself off of it. I'm taking 20mg everyday (down from 40mg) and in the next few weeks I plan to take it every other day and on the off days take a Zantac. This is all with the hopes of totally replacing the Protonix with Zantac. My question is: How long should I be totally off the Protonix before TTC?
Also, I'm currently taking a multi-vitamin that only has about 1/2 the recommended dose of Folic Acid. I have been taking a Folic Acid supplement for a few weeks now on top of the multi-vitamin. Is there such thing as too much Folic Acid because I'm definitely taking more than 100% of the daily recommended just through supplements not to mention what I'm getting from food.

Stanford researchers may have discovered a path to pure lithium batteries, which would mean lighter, smaller, and more powerful charges for our devices. The science of it is pretty dense; but if we don't need to find plugs for our phones anymore while we're out and about? We're in.
Today's show features some enterprising hackers who modded an ATM to play Doom, Stanford researchers discovering a potential path to a viable, pure lithium battery, and some mind-bending 360-degree video art.
Researchers at Virginia Tech have developed a working sugar-powered fuel cell with energy density greater than that of current lithium-ion batteries.
Much cheaper, longer-range electric cars are on the way if Japan's Sekisui Chemical claims are realized in 2015.
Scientists with the Department of Energy have designed a new type of battery that they say outpaces the ubiquitous lithium-ion batteries in flammability, cost, and ability to hold a charge.
Researchers are working on a lithium air battery that will make electric vehicles as practical as gas-powered cars.
Researchers at Northwestern University redesign the lithium ion battery to charge faster and increase energy capacity, paving the way for better battery performance on our gadgets.
Researchers at Northwestern predict a battery that will have 10 times the capacity and charge 10 times faster, while Argonne National Laboratory predicts a cell phone that can charge in a minute.
Simbol Materials opens an operation in California to extract lithium, zinc, and other metals for batteries from the discharge of geothermal plants.
Automotive News reports on Toyota's plan to start using lithium ion batteries in some hybrids.

Penn State announced that it sold out the entire allotment of student tickets for this season, the first under coach James Franklin.
Franklin replaced Bill O'Brien, who left after two seasons to coach the Houston Texans.
It is common for Penn State to sell out its student tickets, but the school said the freshman class sold out its tickets in just six minutes.
In all, more than 21,000 student tickets were purchased in only a few hours.
"I've heard that our student section is the best in the nation and I got a preview during the spring game, but to see the passion our students have for Penn State football even during this week's sale is unbelievable," James Franklin said in a statement. "To have 21,000-plus students supporting our team each home game from the time the players first take the field until the victory bell rings is such a huge advantage. When we return from Ireland after our opener vs. UCF, I know we'll be backed by the best students in the nation, who will join the rest of the Penn State family to pack Beaver Stadium 107K strong."
Penn State's home schedule this season includes Ohio State, Michigan State, Northwestern, Maryland, Temple, Akron and Massachusetts.
The Nittany Lions kick off the season Aug. 30 against Central Florida in Dublin.

a very non-vegan fathers day
Tomorrow is Father's Day, so my kitchen will be temporarily corrupted with flesh. This does not make me happy, but it makes my husband happy and it's his day so I will cook for him. Believe, me, as a lifelong vegetarian, the thought of having flesh in my home is just totally disgusting.. but I want him to feel special.. and he doesn't need to know that I bring out my thrift store cooking utensils to make his meal. lol.. For bfast I am making him a smoked salmon spread and will buy egg bagels.. (how gross can you get???) and for dinner I am going to make him chinese orange chicken... if the weather is not too hot to fry chicken. If it is, then I'll make it later in the week. I'm planning on making orange seitan for the kids and I (in a different pan, of course).. I have not bought the flesh and gloves yet. Oh, how I despise flesh... I guess I'm venting here. I probably cook it around 4 times a year and each and every time I end up bleaching my kitchen and hands (and I NEVER use bleach.. I'm all about my own, non-toxic, homemade cleaners!)...
so I guess I'm just bitching here. It's all good. It's his day. Lunch will be Vegan though!

Fancy meal for the papa! For health/ allergy purposes (rotational diet) my son eats chicken... free range, organically fed (purchased locally). I bought him a george grill just for that. He cooks his own breasts once a week and cleans his own mess.ReplyDelete
Cheapo pans, haha.
Have a great weekend!
Wow, you're a better wife than me. I wouldn't cook meat for my husband. He knows this and is fine with it. But, I also have designated pans that he can cook his own meat in. He's not allowed to use the good ones. Good luck. You're a strong woman. Gloves and bleach are a must!ReplyDelete
i think i'm the only vegetarian that still loves meat. i'm ashamed.ReplyDelete
i dont' eat it for the animals; not myself. if they didn't care i'd eat them day and night.
okay..that's probably enough for now.
