Procedure

I was appauled when I heard that my friend Jorge had been killed. I barely spent time with him, but we shared minds once, and it was like we had a link between us, a form of intimacy. Along with that, Jorge had the most powerful power out there, reality warping, and through that he had basically every power. I'm so surprised that Amelia was able to copy his ability empathically, and also that Cleo was able to get in his head. I guess I underestimated them too much.
So now John had made me lose yet another friend, one that knew me, quite literally, better than I knew myself, due to him having probed my mind completely once. I now have more incentive to kill him, and now I'm sure that I'm going to take his ability, so that I can convince Amelia to bring back Jorge, and then make her go to Cleo so that she may have her revenge. I always help those who help me.
I've been thinking alot, and I believe I may know a way to defeat John. Do to Tempest's previous wards, I'm almost positive that John cannot read this, lest he has a technopath on his side, which is very likely.

So there we were, I was watching everything unfold on a plasma screen TV that Tempest had set up to watch from a camera held by a clone of double. Lined up were about 30 or 40 gray looking people, most of which were British characters that I had never in my life heard of, along with tigers, lions, bears, foxes and horses. It looked liked something out of The Chronicles of Narnia By C.S. Lewis. Doolittle, Playwrite and Evan were the obvious faces amongst the crowd, and I knew that our new recruits were there aswell. The sound was cut off in the video, so that John's command wouldn't somehow make it through to them. Now it was time to execute my plan.
It was simple, really. Using Thought-Form Projection I created a chair, then sat my body down, and again used TFP to send my mind out of my body, like a floating ghost, leaving my body a shell. I had only left my body once before, so it was an interesting experience. I had most of my abilities while in this ghostly form, I just couldn't be seen nor heard, which was a plus. I teleported to the location of the troops, and floated amongst them. They were tracking John, and had basically backed him into a corner in Australia. A mansion was infront of us, looking out of place in the desert-area. Lush rainforest filled the area about 500 feet outward from the enormous house, and there was a wonderful driveway, filled with expensive vehicles, including everything from Ferraris and Maseratis, to tanks and Fighter-Jets. Our plan of action was simple: RAID!
We all rushed, screaming battle cries. I simply hovered as a ghost, unnoticed. My plan was about to unfold. I watched an amazing battle below, and helped secretly with pyrokinesis and telekinesis and all my other kinesi, as often as I could. At one point, I saw a huge looking buff guy with bronze eyes (he wasn't an EH though, just strong) rush at Doolittle. I made an Earth-spike to kill him, but Doolittle's Siberian Tiger jumped on the guy, and I accidentally impaled him. Dozens upon dozens of security-type guys were everywhere, and a few looked quite alot like some wrestlers I had seen on TV. I'm amazed that the losses were so minimal in the fight, just a few dead statues and animals. I soon grew bored of hovering, and knew my team could win alone without my presence. Time for phase 2.
I floated into John's office, and among him were several big dudes. He knew the fight was downstairs. He began yelling commands at each guard, and I muted the world around myself so that I would be unaffected. When he was done, each left. Now there was another person I hadn't seen before, a young boy. He fit the description of someone I knew only from others' memories: Pete. Indeed, John captured Pete, and had begun using him already. I hovered infront of John, and was shocked that I could overcome his commands while ghostly. I saw a mixture of emotions in his eyes. One of the main was power, he felt big, invincible. I would've probed his mind to see what abilities he took, but I had a fear of being caught. Now he was pretty vulnerable, so it was the best time to execute my plan.
I made a clone of myself in the room, and John saw it. He simply smiled without worry, waiting for my clone to kill itself. After a moment, he showed intruige, and commanded the clone to commit suicide, but because the clone had no mind of its own, it didn't have to obey. At this, I TKed his mouth shut, and manifested my soul in the clone's body.
John's eyes reflected extreme worry, and fear. I kept a strong grip upon his mouth, so that he couldn't control me or anyone else. Battle sounds from the outside hall raged, but I couldn't care less. It was vengence time.
"John." I said calmly "You killed two of my friends, and manipulated me into doing your dirty work. You made pawns of everyone around you, and the fact is...you're my friend. I know that this ability is corrupting your mind. I want there to be a way to save you, but I can understand that there isn't anyway. You have to pay for your sins. I want your to suffer in horrid ways." I felt the hunger again, I wanted his power, but not yet. First I made him dance, like a puppet, with telekinesis. I continued by burning him and freezing him, like he made me do to Healthbar. Next I teleported us to a tall building, and threw him out the window, stopping him right before he touched the ground. I loved the feeling of making him suffer. I teleported back to his office in the mansion, and began to cut his skull, feeling proud. At this point, the rest of the guys rushed into the room, and were shocked to see me there.
I was focusing completely on killing John, and let go of his mouth for a moment. It was a stupid mistake. At the last second, he screamed:
"LET ME LIVE ON!" I disregarded the comand, and cut open his skull completely, however, the command wasn't directed at me. Before I inspected John's mind for his power, I heard a clap from behind me, but I disregarded it. I looked at his brain, and quickly understood his power. I was sure I had it now. I smiled, and turned to my group, only to see John rushing down the hallway, along with Double.
Double had made a clone of John...

Well, I haven't tested it out yet, but I think I have John's power. I know what I'm gonna do with it... I'm gonna find Amelia, but John is still out there, and now he has Double on his side, so he could have tons of clones now, that are ways of him avoiding death.
I'm coming back now.
