(I'll try to keep up, but this is finally moving weekend, starting tomorrow. So I'm gonna be busy and without internet completely tomorrow until Friday when my provider can set up in the new apartment.)
Bella hesitates before answering. Wondering if this is a trap. She hadn't trusted this fake Farrah from the get-go. So now she has to put everything on the line, no choice but to hope her intentions are basic and on the surface. There's little left to think about, they have to act NOW.
Bella decides then and there that if need be, she will sacrifice her own life to save Jason's. He deserves it more anyway. Hopefully it doesn't come down to that, but if it has too...she swallows hard at the thought....if it has to, she can and will make it happen. Somehow.
"I'm not sure Farrah, but we've got to stop that Jordan monster. We have to save the boy, he's innocent, as I'm sure you know. That's why he's important to Jordan. We have to stop Jordan from performing the ritual. I don't think we're going to kill it, but if we could incapacitate it somewhow...we might have enough time to get Jason away, somewhere."

AS FARRAH
Farrah walks up and joins Bella on the roof, keeping her eye on Bella, obviously not trusting someone who has always been openly hostile. That is, until she saw Jim and his wretched condition. She runs to him, and he tries to get up. "No, don't, you are in bad shape, you will die, rest here, we can take it from here."
She takes Jim's Mac-10 and walks back to Bella, "If we are going to save your friend we have to hurry. Is the safety off on this gun, I'm sorry, I've never held one before."

Bella checks over the Mac-10, nodding briefly.
"Yeah, Safety's off. This is simple, but not quite as simple as just pointing and shooting, ok? Keep a good two-handed grip on it if possible. Try to keep the stock pressed against your shoulder blade, tucked up under the armpit a little bit. Helps reduce recoil. Shoot in short bursts, don't just pull down on the trigger. These things kick hard.
I know things have been rocky between us, but we have to ignore that. I'll give you my word that I won't do anything to harm you, or get in your way here. We have a common goal, and we need to take care of business, alright?
I'm quickly realizing I was probably wrong about you, forgive me. We've all been through a lot here, it's hell on your nerves. But now we can make right with one another, we can do this together, Farrah."
She looks determined, but tries to crack a faked smile through nervousness to Farrah. She pulls out her Shotgun, checking to make sure it's loaded.

James looks over as the victim reanimates. He cursed under his breath and, armed with his still glowing seal, sets out to do his work. He hits her with his seal, first in the hands, to keep her from grabbing him, always mindful of where her hair is so it won't have a chance to wrap about him. He continues to do this until he gets the seal to dissolve her arms to the elbows, then turns his sight to the mouth in her stomach. This he'd have to be careful about.
He gives her a punch just above the mouth with the seal, hoping to burn away enough around that area that the top "jaw" falls off or is also dissolves. He does the same with the bottom, until he can safely reach in and grab the disk, continuing to hit her with the seal all the while. He doesn't disconnect the head though. If all this is successful, he burns the rest of her away, only leaving the hair behind to hold up the car (after giving it a look. If the hair IS anchoring the car, he leaves it. If it is not, he does burn it away.)
He is extremely careful in his movements and never once drops his guard. He wanted to head up that ladder too. And he wants to do it before Jordon can do anything to Jason, Bella, or Jim..
(man. all alone D: hoping this works!! I want to see this through to the end! *fascinated by what could happen next on the roof!*)

AS FARRAH
"We can talk more about this later, there is alot that I need to know, but I understand that now is not the time." She looks back at Jim who looks weaker by the minute. "That monster, if he does complete his ritual, what will...?" She hesitates, takes a deep breath, then faces the Altar, and assumes the pose that Bella taught her. "Keep the stock pressed against your shoulder blade, tucked up under the armpit a little bit, shoot in short bursts." Farrah then runs toward the Altar.

Jim just lays beside the wreckage of the destroyed elevator car, feeling as emotionally defeated as physically. His entire body ached from the impact of Jordan's force field, and his damaged arm was only getting worse. But despite his pain, he couldn't give up on Jason, but what could he do... He didn't even have a gun now that Farrah just taking his from him, just showing how weak he really is at the moment. He was so concussed by the impact, that her sudden appearance shocked him. He wondered how she had gotten up here so quickly, and wondered at this moment if he had made the right decision to trust her.
But from what he could tell, Farrah seemed genuine in wanting to save Jason, an innocent kid, and that seemed more like Farrah than any other quality he knew from her.
As she run up the stairs, Jim shouted out, "Farrah, be careful, he can fire off force field attacks, like telekinesis, which can also double as a shield. You and Bella have to try and draw his attack so the other can take him out and weaken him. Don't get too close... Jason is very important to me, like a son. I'm sorry I couldn't save you before Farrah, but maybe you can save all of us now. I love you..."
Turning to Bella, Jim says, "Bella, I don't think he's going to stop by bullets alone, being this close to finishing this. If you weaken him enough, you'll have to use the sword." Jim gestures to it at the foot of the steps. "It might be the only way to stop. Do whatever it takes to stop him, I have faith in both of you. Just stay out of each others line of fire and it should be fine either way you look at it."
With that Jim collapses back onto the side of the wreckage, propping his broken arm on his lap and watching the action intently. (RESTING)

Alright, I think we need one post from King about Bella's conversation with Jim, and her attack on Jordan. So I can post the results of that fight.

Bella stops suddenly, realizing the truth in Jim's words. Even a direct shotgun blast isn't going to end this. She'll need the sword, and Farrah most likely would just swing it around like a child swinging a baseball bat. She had to do this. Her life may have been pretty lousy, and she'd been through a lot, but she was almost thankful of it all now. It taught her a lot about survival and self defense.
It's like fate had prepared her for what was to come later. And now it was time to take all of it and make good with it. She could kill this evil son of a bitch, put an end to all this, save the innocent kid. She might die in the process, but hell...certainly wouldn't be the first time she'd put everything on the line, hopefully not the last.
Still, unsure of what she'd do if she made it out of this alive. Where she'd go, how she'd live. Life is hard. But time to save the kid.
Bella quickly back stepped and sprinted back to where Jim lay amongst the debris. She knelt beside him to retrieve the sword with her left hand, taking a longing look into his eyes. She felt a heavy tinge of pain looking into his eyes. She'd felt something serious for him, but it couldn't be now. Things had changed.
She reached around to the small of her back and retrieved the semi-auto, handing it down to Jim's good arm. First however, flipping the safety off and pulling back the slide of the gun to cock it.
"Jim...do what has to be done. You know how to use this, but you've gotta make sure to do so if it needs to be done... If myself or Farrah slip out of control, under Jordan's will or something...don't hesitate long, you won't have much time...."
She made a long pause here, looking away before finally handing the gun to Jim. She kneels lower to whisper something near Jim's face. "If somehow we fail, and Jordan starts the ritual...you have to use this on Jason... I hate even saying it, but if absolutely all else fails...you can't let him complete the ritual. It's him dying to be sacrificed towards mankind's ill fate, or him dying to prevent it..."
She trails off and stands up, quickly brushing away the tears swelling into her eyelids as she does so.
She jogs back over near Farrah, having wasted enough time and clutches the sword of obedience tightly in her left hand with her forearm up, using it as a makeshift stock to her right hand wielding the shotgun. Wouldn't be a problem, she'd made the shot many times before.
Bella looks to Farrah, and says is a fairly hushed tone... "Farrah...you've got to distract him, like Jim said. Be careful...please. If you can distract him enough so that I can lay down a shotgun blast on the bastard to stun him, and carve his ass up with this sword. It might be the only way. Be careful, don't hit Jason. Aim high, around the shoulder to neck level of Jordan."
Bella prepares for her the "ambush" to ensue, waiting for Farrah to begin the assault and for her chance to end this...hopefully.

Jim quietly inspects the gun as Bella and Farrah get ready to attack, slides out the magazine to inspect how many bullets remain in the clip before putting it back inside the gun.
He presses his back to the mound of debris, planting his foot along the ground, steadying his position in case he had to use the gun in a moment's notice. He hopes it all worked out for the best, that Bella and Farrah will be able to stop Jordan and save Jason. But if anything went wrong, if anything was suspicious or if they messed up, he would quickly intervene in anyway he can.
But for now he was going to rest and watch, hoping for the best and praying against the worse, but ready either way.
(For now Jim's resting, but if he's needed by Bella or Farrah for the ambush, he will intervene and concede his rest turn. Is that okay?)

UPDATE! James is well prepared to finish off the wounded victim. The Seal of Metatron burns the hanging Victim's flesh away, James successfully subdues the monster and pulls out a disk from the bloody mess: As the disk is removed the hair supporting the Victim and the elevator begin to tear, the lifeless dull eyes in the Victim's head watch James as he slowly walks away. The hair releases their hold and the Victim suddenly falls out of sight. James turns and grabs a rung of the ladder just as it falls. He takes a minute to catch is breath, climbs up the ladder as quickly as possible and makes it to the roof, and he finds Jim, asleep and wounded. Farrah and Bella runs towards the altar, by this time Jordan has reached the apex, placed the Halo of the Sun on the pedestal adjacent to the stone slab, and has laid Jason upon the stone altar. The boy turns in his slumber, suffering from nightmares but he remains asleep, Farrah and Bella run to the base of the Altar, Bella stops and gives the signal for Farrah to fire. It takes a minute for Farrah to steady her aim so that a few of the bullets actually hit Jordan, the Victim focuses and its shield blocks Farrah's attack, Bella runs to along Jordan's flank and blasts its shoulder apart, so that its arm hangs lifeless, supported by just a few ligaments and tendons. The victim is stunned and creates a second shield in Bella's direction with its glowing eye, so that it can perform its ritual. Bella and Farrah resume firing but the bullets and shot ricochet harmlessly against the two fields, Bella quickly runs up the steps while the Victim anoints the Ivory Dagger with the White Chrism, Farrah fires another volley weakening the shield and Bella thrusts the Sword of Obedience forward as the Victim raises the blade. Bella fights through the resistance and presses the Sword until it hits bone and flesh. The Altar is then consumed in a blinding red light. Bella opens her eyes and Farrah helps her to her feet, Farrah tries not to hold eye contact with her for very long. The Victim is muttering random words in six languages, and there is a sword run clean through its body, its good hand is empty. Bella walks forward and sees that the Ivory Dagger has been plunged into Jason's chest, Jason is motionless, the Mr. Teddy doll is sitting up against the Altar. The red light intensifies and the party finds themselves in a large church, Jim is prostrate in one of the pews - after some effort his lift himself in order to survey his new surroundings: Farrah, Bella, and James are standing facing an Altar with Jason laying upon it - the Ivory Dagger still piercing its chest, Jordan is standing near the altar - the Sword of Obedience piercing its chest- and its rant in many languages continues and echoes throughout the church in parody of a sermon. The Halo of the Sun stands shining upon the Pedestal in front of the Altar. An angel bathed in crimson light descends from a stained glass window, it glides towards Jason and does not notice anyone else in the chamber. (FYI: The Angel is impervious, any attack will have no effect. In addition, Jason can not be moved, the Dagger has effectively nailed him to the Altar.) James is Active, he has Moderate Wounds. Farrah is Active,she has Moderate Wounds. Jim is Active, he has Major Wounds. Jason's condition is unknown.
