Renauld did not join the battle. This was for his students.
Shift stopped short and nodded at Phorce's suggestion. She went to his left, Ace's right. Her eyes flashed as she received the telepathic sending from Ace and she prowled closer to him, looking for an opening. Here her shape-shifting was useless. She had to use her agility and flexibility. Her tail snapped like a whip.

Echo nodded and moved to the other side of him. Stay out of my head! she thought savagly, hoping he got the message. She looked up at the monster that used to be Ace. Considering physical attacks were useless, that pretty much had her out. The best she could hope for was to be able to distract Ace while the others did something. She looked at them with her peripheral vision, while keeping her eyes on Ace Ace. Well, at least Phorce seemed to have a plan. While she watched him she thought. Throwing things would probably still work, if only she had something to throw. She glanced quickly behind her and snapped her eyes back. Rocks were just about the only projectile. Good for a distraction maybe, not so good for doing any actual damage. If only she had a dagger, or a gun.

"'Real power'?" Phorce mocked the voice that sounded from within his mind. "Taste this!"
He let loose a volley of the fireballs, then brought his hands together and threw a stream of fire at the electrically charged Ace. The sun above provided an ample energy source. And although Phorce wasn't exactly sure whether or not he'd cause any damage at all, his intent was to infuriate this opponent. let Ace call forth his element of lightening. Phorce would wrestle control of it, and turn it against this mutant.

"If you think to control my lightning energy think again Phorce.Ace just moved his hand as each ball of fire went near him sending them in different directions. David then smiled as the stream of fire came towards him and targeted it real quick towards the girl that had mimiced Artic when he was in his cell. Soon this would be over if they wond up knocked out or Wing called the match to a hault so that they could take it too the Danger room.
"Renauld I have half of a mind saying to call this match off and tell them to take it to the danger room."Wing said as he avoided one of the fire ball.s

Phorce quickly dropped the fire stream as he saw it moving towards Shift, and reached out with both hands to guide it back towards him in a wide arc. The fire streamed around phorce in a ring that floated right above his head. He bit his lip to keep from loosing his temper.
Just how the hell had Ace deflected the fireballs? he wasn't telekinetic, as far as Phorce knew, and electricity had little to do with fire. neither of the two were exacting conductive to each other.
But there was still another track to explore...
"Are you so certain, Ace?"
Phorce directed the fire flow again, but instead of firing it directly at Ace, he threw it down towards Ace's feet, so that the fire would billow upward like a wave to engulf Ace. The mutant would be forced to errect a barrier or a shield of some sort, and it might just be enough for Phorce to tap into the electrical energy.

Shift had already dodged the fire stream when Phorce deflected it. She tried to make eye contact with Echo as a plan formulated in her head.
"Echo, distract him!" She whispered. Only Echo could have possibly heard. Shift then focused on getting a song stuck in her head and focused on nothing but that song so that Ace might not see her plan so easily.

Echo nodded taking a couple paces back and ducking down. She too was using an old trick to try and keep Ace from her mind, concentrating on a constant streaming of memories or thoughts to cloud her mind. She had used this technique on her mother when she was up to something, and it was fairly effective. Right now she thought the most appropriate thing to think of, to fend off suspicion as well as hopefully annoy him, was to think of a stream of insults and just how much she hated him. With her mother she had gotten pretty good at concentrating while still doing this, so she had a clear mind to focus on hitting him. She grabbed a handful of small stones and threw them at his head in rapid succession. Her strength was fairly good for one of her age and size, but better still was her accuracy, that was the pay off for having wickedly good eye sight.

Argg."David yiped as he landed on the ground now. David growled at Phorce now he didn't care about the rocks hitting him nor the insults. He then started to walk towards the male that seeme to want him near dead.
"HOLD IT!! ALL OF YOU!!!"Wing yelled out before the fight continued,"Now David power down before you kill the kid and then head towards the Danger room. The rest of yall remember how yall did this because it will be more use for yall going up in ranks with this kind of team work."

He grinned as his plan worked better than he could have thought, and Ace was starting to come after him. Phorce began to plant one foot behind him. He was confident that any physical attack - even charged as it wasby electricity - could be handled. It may even provide the opening-
"HOLD IT!! ALL OF YOU!!!"
Phorce glanced back, a bit of an annoyed look on his face. "And just when it was about to get fun." He looked back at Ace. yeah, it would have been fun.

Just as Shift had her chance and Ace was singularly focused on Phorce, Wing called for them to stop. She snarled. Her blood was hot in her veins and she had no desire to obey his command. She whispered "It's not over..."--her tail whipped out and wrapped around Ace's neck, constrictinglike a python and dragging downward at the same time--"UNTIL I SAY IT'S OVER!"
Renauld watched the proceedings with grim satisfaction. Shift would be a magnificent soldier for the X-Men someday. Echo remained to be seen. Phorce, however, would have to be trained out of his apparent mercy. Renauld didn't care if Wing had told him to stop. The only authority that the boy should be listening to was him.

"Shift, back down!"
Phorce took a step forward. But the shapeshifter looked to be working with her own agenda.
"Shift..." Phorce pulled again at the solar heat around him,a half-formed sphere in one hand. Gauging by it's energy, and it's relative instability, it would hurt much more than a rug burn, but it would get through to her if necessary. "let him go for now."

"Shift is it?"David smiled as he grabbed ahold of the tail and sent a psyhic wave of nightmares through her body and into her head. It had her parents and family being tortured by Phorce and Echo. he then spoke into her mind,"Join me girl and we may be able to prevent this." David hoped this would work against the girl while he built a shield around him and shift.
"Crap...You know renauld shift is too great of a warrior to back down just like you were back then."Wing sighed as his wings appeared out of his X-Men suit quickly.

Since she wasn't really doing anything of consiquence anyway, there was little for her to stop doing. 'Team work' yeah, she really contributed to that. Se stood up and looked at the other two. She was surprised Shift didn't get electricuted but she seemed to be fine. She saw Phorce start to build another ball in his hand and suddenly realized what he planned to do with it. "Phorce!" she said, running over "Stop it, what are you doing?"

Shift's tail only constricted more in response to Ace's telepathic stimulus, cutting off his airway. Her pupils dialated, turning her eyes pitch black. She ignored his words and her brain seemed to be short-circuiting with fear turned to anger. Her teeth began forming fangs and her fingernails turned to talons. She snarled, completely oblivious to anyone other than Ace.
Renauld solidified and appeared on the side of Ace opposite to Wing. He watched Shift intently. This... battle-fury... was most unexpected. He saw Phorce preparing to stop Shift, and Echo preparing to stop Phorce. He shook his head. Their teamwork had fallen apart quite quickly.
"Don't do anything Wing. This is not your battle." He said.

As Ace grabbed hold of Shift's tail, he felt the mutant's energy flare. In quick succession, Phorce heard Echo tell him to back down - she didn't understand that it was only half formed - but then with Renauld's quick reappearance....
"So no one wants this to end? Fine." Phorce powered up the fireball to it's full intensity, before raising it above his head and throwing it directly into Ace's torso.
One hand immediately shot out towards Echo. And Phorce reached out for the active energy that was carrying her towards him, and brought it to a stop. "And I am hardly out of control, Echo." Phorce releases his kinetic freeze over Echo's run towards him.
"Now, where were we?"
