(OOC: Funny... I just realized that her hybrid form probably kind of resembles a Tauren from Warcraft. XD)
Natsuru
"...I... I can't transform?" Natsuru exclaimed, surprised, but sending her opponent flying nonetheless. She was a bit troubled; at first she had trouble transforming back to normal from her Kämpfer form, and now she had trouble transforming to Kämpfer? ...No... it probably had more to do with her opponent. She didn't feel anything wrong (aside from the recent changes) before she was attacked by the girl.
The pain of the mental attack gave her an unpleasant headache, but she resisted the worst of it. Flying after the girl, she attempted to make her at least try to understand that she really didn't intend to kill her friends, and that she wanted to make amends for it. The woman maybe wouldn't listen to her words, but she tried to make her experience them herself, more directly. Using her own telepathic powers, or more accurately the Lich Queen's, she gave her flashes of her own feelings, of the way the Sword had manipulated her mind, making her obsessed with retrieving the Helm, and how she lost control upon realizing she couldn't get the Helm without harming anyone when she saw the six heroes there. Also, she sent her signs that she had remained a good person despite the powers she had unleashed into her body, and that if she were to die, someone else might get them... someone with actual evil intentions, whose existence could threaten the whole world... a fact her own existence prevented.
She also spoke words to her mind: "I didn't mean to... I feel horrible about their deaths... and I wish to make up for it by protecting the United Kingdom, and the world, myself, in their memory. I know you hate me... but fighting me won't bring them back nor heal the gaping hole in your heart! Heroes don't go on vengeful killing sprees! Remember the values you and your friends were fighting for... for their sake, and for yours!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start H: 7/7 P.L: 3/4 E: 24/30 P.L: 9/9
1 stone into Power level for an additional action;
12 stones (Ef.) into Telepathy (Project thoughts, Telepathic communications) plus 5 from Authority (P.C.P.T); 16 into projecting images, feelings and the general situation that led me to attack them for the Sword, so she realizes I wasn't really myself and that I really didn't want their friends to die, that if I had been normal, I never would have, Also, 1 stone to send my thoughts in her mind so she has to listen to them, rather than have me speak with her ignoring my words.
5 stones into Social Skills (Kind hearted) to try and convince Phoenix II that fighting and killing me is both not a good idea, and entirely against the values she believes in. That while her rage is justified, Natsuru is not fully to blame, and is truly hoping to make up for her mistakes/sins.
3 stones (Tiresome) into God-Like Powers, to still follow her in the sky, all into defense.
6 stones (Ef.) into Newkama Kenpo, all into defense.
End E: 13/30 P.L: 3/9 Defense: 24 (5 Ref.Dodge, 9 Toughness [No AP], 1 Power Level, 9 actions), 26 VS Close Combat attacks (2 Flexible Skeleton) Mental Defense: 16 (7 Intelligence, 9 Mental Defense) Ki Defense +6 Fire/Heat Defense +7 Magical Defense +6 Immune to Cold, Normal Diseases and Poisons

You try to reach her mind, but the mental shields around it are too strong for you to fully deliver the message.
"I don't care!" Phoenix yells. "After all I have lost, I no longer care! I will destroy you, I will make all those who hurt me pay!" She screams blasting you with a second Telepathic attack while also hitting you with a powerful flast of fire moxed with psionics, and cosmic energy. (OOC: Lose 1w from the mental attack, and a further 1w from the energy blast.

Natsuru
"UNGGHH!" Natsuru cried out in pain, holding her forehead with her hands, before glaring back at the woman. "...Kuh... If that's really the case... then you're a bigger immediate threat than I am!"
Flying towards her opponent, protecting herself with her ki, she suddenly winked at her: "DEATH WINK!!", unleashing a powerful air blast at her, intent on K-Oing her. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start H: 7/7 P.L: 1/4 E: 28/30 P.L: 3/3
1 stone into Power level for an additional action;
16 stones (Ef.) into Newkama Kenpo (Use of powers in combat, Unholy power) plus 3 from Death Wink; 2 into control to not kill her, the rest into a 17 stones (2x damage) attack VS Phoenix II!
3 stones (Tiresome) into God-Like Powers, all into defense as I fly some more after the girl.
6 stones (Ef.) into Ki Control (Ki barrier) all into defense.
End E: 11/30 P.L: 0/3 Defense: 30 (5 Ref.Dodge, 9 Toughness [No AP], 1 Power Level, 15 actions), 32 VS Close Combat attacks (2 Flexible Skeleton) Mental Defense: 16 (7 Intelligence, 9 Mental Defense) Ki Defense +6 Fire/Heat Defense +7 Magical Defense +6 Immune to Cold, Normal Diseases and Poisons

You blast her with an air bullet and she falls down towards the ground.

Natsuru
Hoping her opponent was down for the count, but not wanting to take any chances, Natsuru flew to catch her, holding her guard up just in case. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start H: 7/7 P.L: 1/4 E: 26/30 P.L: 3/3
10 stones (Ef.) into Newkama Kenpo (Unholy power) all into defense.
6 stones (Tiresome) into God-Like Powers, 2 to fly at Speed 5 to make sure I catch her before she hits the ground; 4 to actually catch her.
End E: 13/30 P.L: 0/3 Defense: 25 (5 Ref.Dodge, 9 Toughness [No AP], 1 Power Level, 10 actions), 27 VS Close Combat attacks (2 Flexible Skeleton) Mental Defense: 16 (7 Intelligence, 9 Mental Defense) Ki Defense +6 Fire/Heat Defense +7 Magical Defense +6 Immune to Cold, Normal Diseases and Poisons

You grab her just as you reach the ground. You feel the helm telling you. "Kill her now, while you have the chance."

Natsuru
"...No... I can't kill her. She is hurt... sad and angry. Her losses, and the pain that comes with them, is legitimate, and I am partly responsible for it.", Natsuru said to herself, shaking her head. "It is not my place to judge her actions or her unheroic attack without care for innocents, nor to punish her for it. This duty belongs to her own team, Excalibur."
She put the unconscious girl on the ground for a moment, making the Helm appear. "I am not a cold-blooded murderer... the powers I wield are meant for a higher purpose. Still..."
She put the Helm on, negating the effects of the Hormones she had injected into her body and thus returning to her new, real form. As she did, the Plate of the Damned manifested itself around her body, mystical armor of fearsome appearance.
"...I have a duty of my own. Her team must know of her actions... and I must speak with the deceased. If I am to make amends... I will listen to their last words, if any."
She held her in her arms anew, and teleported them both in the United Kingdom, close by to where the museum once stood. She had little doubt that appearing there would make at least a member of Excalibur meet up with her in no time... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 stones into PL for two additional actions;
1 stone into Hammerspace to make the Helm appear, and put it on; also making the Plate of the Damned appear around my body.
3 stones into Hormone Manipulation to revert the effect I had done on myself, so I look like true 'Lich Queen Natsuru' form.
2 stones into Strength to hold Phoenix II in my arms;
8 stones (Tiresome) into God-Like Powers to teleport us both in the U.K, close to the Museum that burned down.

Sure enough in no time Captain Britain flies up to you. "You have a lot of explaining to do young lady. Why did you steal the helm?"

Natsuru (Lich Queen)
"I do", the armored figure agreed, nodding, walking up to the Captain with the unconscious woman in her arms. "...Here... take her. She will live."
Her eyes glowing from inside the Helm, she stood a safe distance away from the captain after handing Phoenix II to him, to not make him feel threatened.
"...Seemingly by chance... I found a sword, Frostmourne... it irradiated power... and it directed my thoughts towards the Helm, and its location. I was drawn towards it... I felt like I had to get my hands on it, no matter what. I only wanted to obtain it. I never intended to hurt anyone to get it."
She looked at him, her voice sounding a bit different than normal, possibly due to the intimidating enchantments of the armor... however, her words were sincere and heartfelt.
"...However... when I saw the Helm, protected by six heroes, I felt like it was impossible to get it without a fight. I still was hoping I could obtain it without too much harm... when you ordered two of your members to handle the fire I had started... I figured you had members who could control fire and thus easily deal with it. So I made the fire an inferno, hoping it would distract you enough to steal the Helm and escape, with your teammates extinguishing the fire without harm afterwards. But after I had it, I simply fled, fearful you would take it from me... I was obsessed with it. Had I been myself, I... would have extinguished the fire before I left. I would have healed your wounded. But instead, I fled. Only later did I learn of your teammates' deaths. I felt horrible... I wish things had been different. I wish I could undo what was done to them by my carelessness."
She looked at her gloved hands, which she clenched into metallic fists.
"...I am indebted to you and your country. I have come to present my apologies for my actions, and to speak with the deceased heroes' souls, to hear their last words and pass them along if they want me to, or to grant them a chance to curse my name if such is their wish. They should not have died that day, only doing their duty."
Looking at the girl in the captain's hands, she added:
"...Also, I brought this woman back, whose rage led her to attack innocents to get to me. I deserve her fury, but her carelessness is unfit for a heroine. I brought her back hoping you can keep her from repeating my own mistakes and causing undeserved pain and suffering. She will not listen to me, but perhaps she might listen to you." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 stones into Social Skills (Kind-hearted, Lich Queen) to explain the situation and answer the Captain's question.
10 stones (Ef.) into Newkama Kenpo (Okama Kenpo) all into defense, in case things go South.

"Very well." Captain Britain says. "Finish your business, then leave this island, an NEVER return again."

Natsuru (Lich Queen)
Natsuru felt thankful towards the man, but she realized only too well he wasn't doing this because he had forgiven her, but simply because he was a hero. He seemingly believed her, and as such, decided she didn't deserve his full hatred... 'merely' banishment from the United Kingdom. Understanding, she nodded slowly after a moment of silence.
"I understand. I will never trouble you and your country again. And, although I doubt you will ever want to ask for it, if there is anything I ever can do for you, your teammates or your people... please let me know. Farewell."
She walked up to the pile of rubble that used to be the museum, as she called upon her necromantic powers through one of her armor's runes to contact the souls of Union Jack and Pete Wisdom, the two deceased members of Excalibur, in order to communicate with them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 stones (Ef.) into Rune Magic (Necromancy); 2 to contact both the spirits of Pete Wisdom and Union Jack, and 2 for Duration to allow them to speak with me for 5 minutes if they want to. I'm not forcing them or anything.

"Oh it's you... What do you want you bloody wench." Peter asks as he and Union Jack appear before you.

Natsuru (Lich Queen)
"To make amends", she responded. "To bring you in death part of the peace I robbed you from in life. To give you a chance to speak any last words and leave them to your friend, Captain Britain, so he can pass them along to whoever they are intended for."
She looked at the two spirits:
"...I did not wish for your demise. I know it is to little too late, but I still wanted to present my apologies to you, although I am not expecting your forgiveness. I stand before you humbled by my mistakes, and ashamed for my responsibility in your death. So, if you please... feel free to speak, or not. I am listening. If you do not desire to, I won't force you. You will be free to move on, and I will never bother you again." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5 stones into Social Skills (Kind-hearted, Lich Queen) to explain why I disturb them so.

Natsuru (Lich Queen)
Natsuru sighed, nodding silently. Well, this went rather well, all things considered... at least they didn't insult me for five minutes, she thought with irony in her mind.
"May you rest in Peace...", she whispered, as she turned back to give one last look and nod at Guardian, before she vanished back to her house's backyard, simultaneously putting away her armor and helmet, before she injected her body with hormones anew to resume her normal appearance.
Once she was done, she took in a deep breath. At least, now it seemed fairly certain that neither Excalibur nor the Law would hunt her down, as Guardian had apparently accepted her explanations, despite the consequences of her failures. She was banished from the UK, but at least she was free to atone and fight the good fight still. She then headed inside her house, hoping to find her dad there, hopefully not too hurt from her previous 'crashing into the wall' episode. If not, she'd call her on her own cellphhone, as she might have needed to go to the hospital or something. Hopefully it wasn't too bad. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 stone into PL for additional action;
8 stones (Tiresome) into God-Like Powers to teleport back to my house's backyard;
1 stone into Hammerspace to put away my Helm and unsummon my armor;
4 stones into Hormone Manipulation to resume my 'normal human appearance', this time including making my heart beat normally.
Then I will head into my house looking for dad.
