Not long after I left Russia with Zack, Logos, Michael T, and the rest of my people we found ourselves in Italy. Sicily to be exact, we were fallowing the information Dele Morte had supplied to Logos. It was leading us to The Obertine Monastary.
I had arranged for cars to get us there from the airstrip we had landed on, to where we would find J.Dark. Michael was coming along after reveiwing the ritual Morte had suplied and stating it was as advertised.
Everyone geared up from the armories on the planes. We piled into the cars and were off. It was a race against time. When we got there it was still in the several hours to dawn.
We checked out the situation, and it was worse than I had feared. Voice had set a veritable army to defend Jeramiah Dark. I now understood what Ghost had ment when he spoke of a trap.
Michael, my team and I decided we would need more help to deal with this, so we were going to pull back and call in help.
But Logos wanted to end J Dark then and there she didn't want to wait, and that is where things went bad.

Logos, hi,

It not the powers that crippled you.

Logos, I have had similar before. Normally it is a sign something very big and powerful is nearby. Even after months of training, they still happen from time to time. I think that might have been what hit me last night along the interstate.

Yeah you could say what we were looking at was very big and Powerful. Besides the small army of cultist we observered at least 8 Gargoyles with the chance of there being a few more, was also able to pick out severl other demonic auras. And a few of them were of a greater type.
Athena, and Mask were also effected by the proximity to these beings, thou not as bad as Logos was. As she bolted to try and get to JD she started to convulse, Zack who had been right behind her caught her but almost droped her as she collapsed. Hammer and I were not far behind and saw the cultists.
They were approching with a weapons ready, and trying to call out an alarm. We took them down with sound suppresed SMGs, they fell quickly but had still made enough noise to alert others. Zack carried Logos back to our cars. Hammer, Michael, and I tried to discouaged pusuit. Gale and Dusk assited Athena and Mask back to the cars as well.
As I said things didn't go well.

Damnit, I told you guys to wait for me.

I'm all rested up now, where are you guys?

Oh sure! The one time I could really help and I'm not there.

Its the human variety of monster I specialize in.

Bert, Ghost I wish you had been there. Then maybe things would have gone better than they did.
Logos you were not the only one that was effected, thou Athena and Mask were not effected as baddly as you were but they were effected all the same. It is something that with experiance should have less effect on you.
Obviously we were able to get away, before a organized chase could ensue.

That's one good thing.

I'm not psychic at all so I shouldn't be open to that sort of problem.

I am Bert, but it doesn't effect me that way either. It is an odd effect that that is particular to Latent Psi's. Case's in point Logos, Athena, and Mask.

Honestly Shadow, at the time I wouldn't have been much help to you. I was still recovering from my "episode" in Russia, and the emergency teleport to Finland.

I'm not psychic at all so I shouldn't be open to that sort of problem.

Yeah Bert, I used to be the same way. Now though, I do seem to be developing psychic abilities, though whether they're my own or Belladrox's is a good question.

I heard of success with the hypnotherapy and the logotherapy. These address the source of the mind storm. Other therapies maybe successful, too. We all different, so different strategies sometimes necessary.

At least Duke came back to life. We just haven't managed to kill the other son of a bitch yet.
