[Huzzah!]
A humming comes from the general area; a buzz at first, building up into a low symphonic harmony, running through the land… and then suddenly the environment the Hellions were standing on erupts with activity. All of the metahumans and mutants who lay on the floor moments ago spring up to their feet with a rumble running through each of them in turn and then together.
"They come! The blasphemous, the rapists and those who would honour regression!"
They line up together in what seems to be at the same time both a defensive action and an aggressive action; if the Hellions turn around, they'll see Iron Man, Binary and Wonder Man a little ways away from them and flying relatively slowly towards them.
"Others are to follow; crush the ones who come first! Do not let them ruin me again!"
[And I have to go for prayers. Shouldn't take more than twenty minutes… sorry.]

[Back. Sorry about that.]
The earth rumbles again, and something erupts from the ground in the centre of the circle that the metahumans gathered there had formed before, shaping itself to match the vision that the Hellions witnessed earlier.
The Avengers three draw close, stopping in shock as she towers over everyone present, staring silently at the trio. Binary's hovers forwards, her mouth open in shock.
"Mother of god…. It's the end of the world," she mumbles quietly.
"No. It's not, it just looks a whole lot like it," Iron Man responds, hovering in front of it and the other metahumans. In the presence of the new development, they haven't noticed the Hellions yet.
A roar comes from Moonstone as she weighs down Iron Man, causing him to come crashing to the ground, and she leads a charge against the three Avengers, the charge stomping over a couple of the Hellions and knocking them aside in the process.

Dominic gets out of the way quite easily; it really is just chaos at this stage. In the rampant assault on the three Avengers, some of the less inhibited souls begin to let loose. An ill controlled lash from Graviton causes the nearby rock face to start collapsing, threatening to tumble onto the still reeling Wicked, lying dazed on the floor beneath it.
Empath grasps Wreck by the throat, lifting him into the air and filling him with anger. Rage. Hate; capitalising on all of the darkness within him already, amplifying it, playing on his temptations….

Between Jesse and Dominic, they manage to keep Wicked from being flattened- the rocks were never falling in their direction. Binary finds herself blasted back, and she crashes into Dominic, their backs smashing into each other and knocking them both down.
A weighted punch finds itself aimed at the back of Jesse's head from the Teen Titan, Alex Power.

After flying completely the wrong way for a few seconds, Wreck dissolves himself and places his hands around Wonder Man's head, using his entropy on him.

Knocked fairly loopy by the events of the last five minutes, Wreck does a valiant job of not falling over. Then fails at that miserably.

Wonder Man glances over at Empath who's still reeling from Wreck's attack but ready to attack again, and gives him a hard kick to knock him out.
"Nah, he'll live. He's not bleeding; not in shock either, otherwise he wouldn't've been trying to attack you even after that. I think that's one of Emma's old boys."
He glances from Wreck, over to the avatar of Gaia that still hasn't done anything.
"Any idea what's going on?"

"Damn it…." Binary glances away before looking back to Dominic. "By the way, it's Binary. Not Ms. Marvel. Wait; new?" she glances over to the rest of the Hellions. "You're Frost's kids, aren't you?"

Wonder Man looks at Wreck quizzically, taking his glasses off.

He waves a hand dismissively before Wreck says anything.
"I know, I know. I've seen the reports. New one just yesterday, in fact. Tony cut off communications with SHIELD, so he hasn't, which is a pretty big problem in all of this; he thinks he's the only one with the drive to handle things here, but he has no idea what's really going on." He gestures at Gaia. "With this, either. The rest of us? Ego's not as blinding. Almost," he grins, tilting the sunglasses, "but not quite. Because of that, we're not as in the dark, and-"
