<DeathStar> Location: The Academy
<DeathStar> *While Asarar's group recovers in the medical wing of the academy, Cloé having come to check on them, Peace keeps to his office mumbling. Selena has gathered a meeting behind his back*
<DeathStar> <Selena> How is everyone holding up? *She watches Origin flutter about the room*
<Seraphna> Terra> Origin liked Spirit Fortress!
<Jackieness> <Bella> *is with Cloe to visit her parents*
<Seraphna> Talia> Talia reports big fish crop.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Well, if that's the kind of reports we're getting, I'm guessing you all are fine
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I avoided that stuff up on Kumen, so I'm great
<Seraphna> Alita> We think the situation is contained in the bar at least.
<Seraphna> Alita> Though we fear the artifact is lost.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "You know me, bastion of stability. Eheh..."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...ahhh...losing itself is just wat it does, honestly."
<DeathStar> <Selena> *nods* Peace reports that news of Origin is slowly spreading somehow; I've been looking into who's leaking it. The good news is it hasn't reached the general public yet. Just the Peacekeepers
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "She has been showing off on-campus. I'm surprised it hasn't spread more than it has already."
<DeathStar> <Selena> But if they want to make pacts to make themselves stronger, and that soon spreads to the Alliance leaders.
<DeathStar> <Selena> It'll get out
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh..we don't even know if she can make pacts. Her... errr... energy... structure... nature.. are all different."
<DeathStar> <Selena> True. If Peace was half of what Lumi is, he'd bluff this situation
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I don't want to have to keep her cooped up, but... this isn't great."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I find it strange that Lumi would appoint someone so...unprepared for the role."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> The way I understood it - she didn't pick him. She wanted someone like Simon
<DeathStar> <Gwen> But he turned it down
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Now he's off in Unit 1.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...then how did it land on Peace? I had never heard of him before."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Hm, good question. I assumed the Alliance picked him, but you're a member of the Alliance
<DeathStar> *Selena thinks*
<Seraphna> Alita> I think it had to be someone outside the major powers at least.
<Seraphna> Alita> Otherwise we'd have another Suisen member here likely. Though Lumi is technically a Suisen Royal now.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I'd have to look through the paperwork, it might have been something pushed through by the Legion at the last minute.
<Seraphna> **Alita sighs** Do I need to smack my husband up the side of the head?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "While he is not an active hindrance, he is no help either. I'd like to know."
<DeathStar> <Selena> Anyway, one reason I brought us together is this. *She sets down the Magi Tower plans*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Linnet sent these to inform us the construction on Lana's barrier plan is almost done at the main tower.
<Seraphna> Alita> Any signs of trouble yet?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I even provided them instructions on warding seals to defend against certain eldritch entities."
<Seraphna> Alita> It's one of the spots the Hunters will probably strike.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Would you like to go check it out and see how they're coming along?
<Seraphna> Alita> It might be prudent.
<DeathStar> *Gwen turns to Nicolette* Have you ever seen the Magi Tower in action? Well, outside it being attacked
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh... I should since its my designwork in action."
<Ariel> * Nicolette shakes her head, "Nope, new to me."
<DeathStar> <Gwen. Fires a giant magical beam to destroy it's enemies.
<Seraphna> Alita> I once powered the beam.
<DeathStar> <Selena> And these plans are going to change the beam into a barrier.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Correct?
<DeathStar> *she gathers them up*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...my old Academy team were the ones who first used the beam after centuries."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I remember. Freaky stuff. Good ol Unit 6. We still have the Designation
<Jackieness> <Lana> "To a barrier, yes."
<Seraphna> Talia> I was born that day.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Actually, our old team building is still assigned to us."
<DeathStar> *Gwen hops up off the chair and pets Talia; as they step outside, Cloé and Bonnie are there*
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> We'll escort you to the tower. *She keeps her hands in her suit pockets, but it's clear one is making a fist*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhhh?"
<DeathStar> *Bonnie takes a hand out and motions at having a shuttle prepped*
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> Asarar's
<DeathStar> <Gwen> No flying carriage. Eh, oh well.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh...we don't have a good record with flying carriages though."
<DeathStar> *Gwen steps on up and takes a seat and Selena follows*
<Seraphna> **Alita and Talia hop up**
<DeathStar> *Cloé scampers on up, bringing her round armor for once*
<Seraphna> Terra> Will hang out with Origin more~
<DeathStar> *Origin peeks out from Nico's head*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *boards the shuttle*
<Seraphna> Terra> **gasps and warps next to Nico** Or maybe I come.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I shall hold the fort here..."
<DeathStar> <Selena> Say how to Shinobu and Rain for me, Auntie
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> Do any of you know how to fly or should I?
<Ariel> * Nicolette hands a strawberry up to Origin as she boards the shuttle.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *waves and ehad back for the admini buildings*
<DeathStar> *Origin quietly eats it*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *looks around*
<Seraphna> **Terra looks up at Nico cutely**
<DeathStar> *Origin offers her some*
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> Alright I'll fly, one moment. *comedically gets in the chair and due to her small height, can't even reach the "pedals"*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh.. that's not going to work."
<DeathStar> *Bonnie strains a bit and gets them* Alright here we go
<DeathStar> *Bonnie works the controls the shuttle and flies them out*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Just relax, she has it
<DeathStar> *After a shaking flight, the group soon arrives in the snowy planes as Bonnie takes them in and roughly lands them outside the Magi Village - getting them stuck in the snow*
<DeathStar> *Bonnie moves over, grabs Cloe, and hops out the pilot side into the snow*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Thanks Bonnie." She keeps her hat tight on her head to keep the little one warm as she follows
<Seraphna> **Terra smiles and nnibbles the rest of her strawberry, making three more for Origin**
<Jackieness> <Lana> *climbs out of the shuttle*
<DeathStar> *Bonnie nods back; the village seems to be recovering since the werebeast attack. Bonnie holds Cloé close as they walk along the path through the village toward the Castle with the Tower in the center of it*
<DeathStar> *The villagers seem wary, though the familiars that Lana managed to save rush and hug Lana*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh...! H...hello!"
<DeathStar> *many look like Bonnie, outside the fact her hair has grown longer, making her stand out* <Familiars> Ah, it's her! The one who saved us. Thank you.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Looks like you're popular
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Y... yes."
<Seraphna> **Talia smiles and pats the familiars** Good to show gratitude to my Pillow.
<DeathStar> <Familiars> Pillow?
<Ariel> * Nicolette awwws with a smile
<DeathStar> *they begin to call Lana Pillow too now*
<Seraphna> **Talia demonstrates by going cat and leaping into Lana's cleavage**
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ack!"
<DeathStar> *Gwen facepalms* And their goes your heroworship, Pillow
<DeathStar> *There
<DeathStar> *Bonnie leads them to the castle where Linnet is waiting, leaning on her mage staff*
<DeathStar> <Linnet> Welcome!
<Sara> <Ellie> *clearly with the group all along* There are worse names someone could have been called! I mean... I'm not sure what they'd be, but...
<DeathStar> *Sylph sits on head of Ellie*
<Ariel> * Nicolette ...is somewhat thankful she doesn't have to worry about that sort of invasion of privacy.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *face is bright red*
<DeathStar> *Bonnie breathes heavily, probably more than she should for a trek through the snow, looking around as she keeps Cloé against her*
<DeathStar> <Linnet> You all look a little tired. Come in out of the cold.
<DeathStar> *she looks surprised that the summer winter up here is getting to them*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Th... thank you.
<DeathStar> *Linnet leads them into the castle, walking toward the tower part* <Linnet> As you know, we've been implementing your designs to work with the rest of the system around Geyze. <Cloé> Rest of the system?
<Ariel> * Nicolette bows and scoops her hat up into her arms, so Origin isn't confined.
<DeathStar> *Origin peeks out and looks around from the hat*
<DeathStar> <Selena> I admit I haven't seen the full system used that often. Lana?
<Seraphna> Alita> Sounds like you took a note from our sister planet's plans.
<Sara> * Ellie plays with Sylph, ignoring the tech and system stuff for now
<Jackieness> <Lana> "The covnergence point for the full system was above the Hapian Castle."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "At least at the last recorded full firing."
<DeathStar> *Sylph twirls around Ellie, tickling her like there was more than one Sylph*
<DeathStar> <Linnet> Right. *The group walks up the towere were they find Magi working turning the systems on the top floor, changing everything* They're following your specifications and plan to change the beam into a barrier beam when fired.
<DeathStar> <Linnet> Did you want to do a test run?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "It wouldn't hurt."
<DeathStar> <Linnet> I'll provide the Mana one moment
<DeathStar> *it seems the systems to fire it have been changed too since Linnet moves to a chair and places her hands on two pads. As she begins to pump mana, and it begins to charge it and it fires the beam at it's targets, errors begin to pop up*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Red light is bad
<Jackieness> <Lana> *moves over to take a look*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I know that much
<Sara> <Ellie> So are alarm noises...
<Seraphna> Alita> Here we go.
<DeathStar> *The Magi are studying the alarms and frown*
<DeathStar> <Magi> That's pretty far out..
<DeathStar> >Magi 2> We'll have to send someone..
<Seraphna> Alita> What happened?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Two power couplings out in the wilds are not movign any energy...hmmm...no, don't send anyone. This could be sabotage. We'll go!"
<DeathStar> *The Magi look at each other, then Lana* <Selena> That's even worse if it is. They could be waiting or doing more damage as we speak
<Jackieness> <Lana> "My thought exactly... and ahhh... I don't want to risk your Magi any further harm if it is."
<DeathStar> <Linnet> ... If you are certain. We'll wait here and prepare another test when you finish
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I suppose I will warp us to the first site.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Could we keep a trickle of mana flowing, so we know if anything else stops working?"
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Since Bonnie can't fly for crap
<DeathStar> *Bonnie slowly turns her head*
<DeathStar> *Linnet muses* I will try that yes
<Sara> <Ellie> Don't be rude Sylphie
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Sowwie.
<DeathStar> *Origin makes tut tut tut motion*
<DeathStar> *Linnet gets on the trickle thing while Sylph gathers the group, liftin them up with the wind* Which one do you want first, Lana?
<Jackieness> <Lana> Site 1 in the jungle area. The other site is in the Dakr Lands, and...ahhh... yeah..."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Flip a coin?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I eman we go to the jungle first."
<DeathStar> *Sylph warps them to the jungle*
<DeathStar> *the heat hits them, cold no logner there*
<DeathStar> *Selena wipes forehead and adjusts her shirt as it clings to her* <Selena> Ugh...How does Jaime like this
<DeathStar> *Sylph, for her part, zooms around - fine*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh..the mud likely asks as a natural heat sink."
<Jackieness> acts
<DeathStar> <Gwen> *Faceplants in the mud*
<Seraphna> Terra> Is easy!
<Ariel> * Nicolette casts a wind spell to keep a small breeze going to help cool the group
<Seraphna> **Terra giggles and forms a mud chair and sits**
<DeathStar> *Sylph returns to paly in the breeze*
<Sara> * Ellie acts like she's melting
<DeathStar> *Bonnie surprisingly seems fine with the heat, despite being in the suit and walks along, heading for the location; Sylph returns and lands on Ellie's head; suddenly hair hair is blowing upward*
<DeathStar> *among other things*
<Sara> <Ellie> Aah!
<DeathStar> *Origin floats along, leaving the hat and joins the others as they soon find an old looking device. It's suppose to be shielded from the jungle, but that shield seems to be completely broken on the ground and now vines and other wildlife is now entangling it*
<DeathStar> <Selena> What the spirits...
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> Sabotage
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Or did the vines break through?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I cna repair it, I think... but ahhh... Terra. When I repair this, can you sink it into the ground so they can't break it again?"
<Seraphna> **Terra inspects the vines carefully**
<Ariel> * Nicolette also inspects the damage, trying to determine if the damage was intentional or not
<Seraphna> Terra> These vines were accelerated in growth... it wasn't me though.
<DeathStar> *The damage to the shield looks like it was done by a large vine, which these are, but the vines in the area seem to have been grown rapidly and quickly*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *muses, looking serious*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> We should becareful
<Seraphna> **Terra muses and starts to try to move the vines, routing them to grow in another direction**
<DeathStar> *Sylph poofs into her big form and looks around*
<Sara> <Ellie> Yipes...
<Jackieness> <Lana> *moves in to examine it further once the vines are cleared out*
<DeathStar> *once Lana has the vines out of the machine, it's clear there are holes in the circuits here and there. She'll need to repair it, or make a new one*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Terra, I think I can repair this with your help."
<Ariel> * Nicolette keeps an eye out, since this level of technology is more the realm of master Lana
<DeathStar> *suddenly, vines zoom out and grab ORigin and yank her into the forest; Sylph, Nicolette, and Bonnie would spy it as it happens, spotting what looks to be an figure in the woods*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Damn
<Seraphna> **Terra blinks and looks around** What happen?
<DeathStar> <Cloé> What was that? <Sylph> Sylph believes a queen plant monster of sorts. Everyone should becareful of close combat. <Bonnie> And why would one of them suddenly decide to wreck our stuff and steal Origin?
<Ariel> * Nicolette uses the cloak to warp towards the figure and hopefully sever the vine
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Maybe it was infected with the same stuff that was released in the Dark Lands."
<DeathStar> *The giant plant creature moves through the woods with Origin, who flails. Sylph zooms with Ellie, trying to get close but not too close as it seems to be putting out some sort of strange pollen that is affecting the area*
<DeathStar> *Bonnie and Cloé follow, creeping along*
<Seraphna> **Terra muses, then steps on a vine and it lifts her up to the trees, as she looks around** Plant Monsters supposed to be nice to Terra and friends. **she then starts sliding and slipping along trees, doing a crazy Tarzan**
<Ariel> * Nicolette draws the card of judgement, attempting to restrain the plant creature with magic chains
<Sara> <Ellie> What's that gunk it's puffing out?
<Seraphna> Alita> Mmm. That would either be poison spores or pheramones.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> It is a type of pollen. Inhale it, you will be poisoned and fall down, unable to move until it can bind you like it did Origin.
<Sara> <Ellie> Oh no...
<Sara> <Ellie> Watch out for the pollen!
<Jackieness> <Lana> *works on the repairs in the meantime*
<DeathStar> *the chains grab onto the tree creature and for a moment it slows it down, but then it begins to lumber onward again. Bonnie throws out something the moment it slows*
<DeathStar> *knocking Origin free and it begins to try to reach them but the tree tries to snatch it again*
<DeathStar> *Sylph works on blowing the poison away*
<Seraphna> **Terra seems to heat up a little as she moves, not setting fire to trees but the heat pushes spores away from her as she keeps going, landing nearby and punching the earth to send a stone up under the Trent**
<DeathStar> *The giant Trent is uprooted a bit and multiple vines go for Terra to bind her and capture her instead. Origin meanwhile lands on Nicolette's head*
<Seraphna> **Terra shows why she's a scarier Earth Spirit, catching the vine and her hands burst with hyperspace burning the vines** BAD!
<DeathStar> *Sylph wind lifts Ellie toward the Trent* Here before the tree catches her
<Sara> * Ellie slices at it with Rending Gale sword form, to stop it from getting Terra
<Ariel> * Nicolette secures Origin, and puts some distance between them and the plant
<DeathStar> *Terra indeed burns the vines, but more comes up to grab her and bind her from underneath wheer she isn't grabbing when Ellie cuts those*
<DeathStar> *which allows Bonnie to drop down from a tree and begin to, in her white hair form, touch it with ungloved hands, unleash fire upon it*
<DeathStar> *the burning Trent tries to grab onto the three to burn them to death with it*
<DeathStar> *Sylph makes a wind spot for Ellie and Terra to jump for*
<Sara> * Ellie does
<DeathStar> *Sylph grabs onto Ellie and spins with her. Bonnie tenses and leaps after them and goes flying, landing near Nicolette and Origin, who is sitting on her head.*
<Seraphna> **Terra hops for it**
<DeathStar> *Terra barely makes it, as the GM was preparing the Trent's final moments, and it burns up*
<DeathStar> *Terra landing on the wind spot, looking singed*
<DeathStar> *Bonnie puts her gloved back on and heads back. Sylph carries Ellie in her arms; upon returning, Gwen guarding Lana, she's finished up the repairs.*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh, I was almost finished here. Errrr... is Terra OK?"
<DeathStar> <Cloé> I wonder why the Trent wanted Origin.... *Origin peeks out from Nicolette; Selena returns and holds something* <Selena> Maybe this... *it seems to be a whistle*
<Seraphna> Terra> Terra okay. **wraps herself in mud**
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *Sets Ellie down*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "A whistle?" She takes a closer look, expecting it to be an artifact of sorts.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "OK, ahhh... now terra... to try to prevent more surprises, I need you to sink this box into the ground where it should be safe."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Can the beam reach it underground?
<DeathStar> *the whistle has a dark color almost and if one looks really hard it seems to have writing, but it would help to have something to enhance. The writing looks to be almost symbol like, definitely another language*
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> I'm sure Lana knows better than us
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Hm... I don't recognize the language, but it's definitely a focus."
<DeathStar> <Selena> *gives it to Nicolette* Here. You'll probably find the answers before I do
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Well, we can't bury it too deep, but the energy should be able to link up."
<DeathStar> *suddenly, Ellie and Terra are tackled*
<DeathStar> *Origin peers out*
<Sara> <Ellie> Ack!
<DeathStar> *Fae rises* I sensed a battle nearby!
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "We'll look into this l-" She pulls her cane quickly, switching to a defensive stance
<DeathStar> *Fae looks them over*
<Seraphna> **Terra hugs her** Monster was bad. **she pouts**
<Sara> <Ellie> It's fine. It's dealt with
<DeathStar> <Fae> That's good. *Sylph uses her powers to help dig out the ground and lower the device*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> So site 2?
<Jackieness> <Lana> *nods* "The Dark Lands."
<DeathStar> *Fae hugs onto Terra, eyeing her suspiciously, as if unwilling to let her go*
<DeathStar> *Sylph begins to gather everyone and the team poofs, reappearing in grasslands of the Dark Lands*
<DeathStar> *not far from where Shade's old grotto was located*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Could be worse places to end up
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Hopefully we don't run into a worse surprise."
<DeathStar> *Sylph muses scanning the area, then points at a spot up ahead - a little mini forest*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I'm feeling something odd from there
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> Hm. *she squints8
<Jackieness> <Lana> "MAybe its the power node."
<DeathStar> <Fae> *Floats around Ellie*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Well lets go find out
<Seraphna> **Terra floats with Fae**
<Ariel> * Nicolette carefully scoops Origin into one arm, keeping her half tucked under the cape for safety this time.
<DeathStar> *As they enter the woods, the group can see eyes staring at them - no doubt the daemons living in the area. Many of them probably werebeasts. Bonnie freezes in her tracks, trembling a bit*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh?"
<DeathStar> <Selena> ... How has Shinobu and Rain been doing with helping the Daemons who have been infected with that stuff?
<DeathStar> <Selena> I know we barely got it out of them in time
<DeathStar> *Cloé helps Bonnie along, so far it's just eyes watching them*
<DeathStar> *Origin seems studying the eyes curiously, but doesn't approach. As they near the device, it's clear someone went to town on it with claw marks and bite marks*
<DeathStar> *someone likely has a lot of broken teeth and claws*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Geeze
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh...this suggests at least one of them in infected or otherwise controlled."
<DeathStar> <Fae> I'll protect mommas.
<DeathStar> *Fae pats Ellie and Sylph*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Can you repair this?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I believe so, but I'd be on the look out for the creature that did this."
<DeathStar> *As Lana says that, a whistle tune can be heard emitting. And it's not pleasant. Bonnie and Cloé wince and no doubt Talia*
<DeathStar> *soon, stuff can be heard approaching in the woods*
<DeathStar> <Selena> ... *Grabs her sword* Damn. Anyone not up for this, should go.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "..I...I need to repair the node."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I'll stay and protect you, don't worry.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *nods and gets to work*
<Seraphna> Talia> **peeks from Lana’s cleavage**
<Ariel> * Nicolette takes a defensive stance, one arm to keep Origin sheltered, the other holding her rod.
<DeathStar> *Sylph nods and warps and then returns*
<DeathStar> *Fae goes with Terra to prepare*
<DeathStar> *werebeast begin to approach, looking wild after the whistle*
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> .... *prepares herself and they charge in a pack of 10, trying to overpower the group*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Someone doesn't want us to leave here.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Well, what's new?"
<Seraphna> **Alita sighs and summons Brooke, sending waves into the charging ones**
<DeathStar> *The 10 werebeasts converge on the group, trying to rush and grab them all. 2 seem to go for each member standing there blocking them from Lana*
<DeathStar> *As they leap, the wave breaks the charge, giving the group a free hit*
<Ariel> * Nicolette lobs bolts of mana from her cane, trying to keep her two at range
<DeathStar> *Nicolette's mana hits the werebeast before they can recover, knocking them back down. They slowly begin to recover*
<DeathStar> *Bonnie and Cloé work together and use their purple forms to try to do as much damage as they stand back up and they try to eat them. Bonnie and Cloé then work on trying to break their jaws*
<DeathStar> *Selena for her part goes spirit form and uses the distraction to speed slash and cripple one of her's*
<DeathStar> *Origin creates something for Nicolette*
<DeathStar> *it looks to be - a new dazzling cape, but when you peer into it closely, it looks almost like the starry sky*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Hm? This...?"
<DeathStar> *The werebeasts try to advance on Nicolette again, one slashing at her*
<DeathStar> *meanwhile, the last 2 have gone from targetting Terra/Fae to Alita*
<Seraphna> **Alita draws the Void Blade to fend them off as she has Brooke direct water**
<Ariel> * Nicolette attempts to parry with her cane as she retreats, using earth magic to try to spray dirt in its face
<Seraphna> **Terra sends an earth fist at one**
<DeathStar> *Nicolette parries and sends it flailing back with the Earth magic. While Alita and Brooke and Terra and Fae manage to drop one of their 2*
<DeathStar> *Bonnie and Cloé finally crush one of their's and the werebeast begin to howl, probably realizing they are losing. It begins to bring in an alpha looking werebeast, who begins to stomp in on the scene. The remaining werebeasts scamper off behind their leader* <Gwen> That's not good. Lana's not quite finished yet
<Jackieness> <Lana> *continues to work*
<DeathStar> *The alpha seems to stick, surprisingly, to it's human form more than it's beast form, moving about the area, eyeing them*
<DeathStar> <Selena> There's only one of them. Should we all just rush it?
<Seraphna> **Alita looks annoyed and fuses shadows and void energy around the blade**
<DeathStar> <Fae> But it's lackies are behind it
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "The longer it holds back, the more time Lana has."
<DeathStar> *The Alpha sizes each of them up, then rushes at Cloé, making her fall on her rear*
<DeathStar> *Bonnie tries to get in the way, holding out her arms to slow it*
<DeathStar> *Bonnie soon is lifted up and tossed aside, forcing Cloé to avoid the Alpha trying to get her.*
<DeathStar> *Thankfully, Lana maanges the repair during this*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...its done."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> IT's done! Terra, bury it!
<Seraphna> **Terra buries it!**
<Ariel> * Nicolette stays back, calling upon the earth to just get in the Alpha's way and hinder it
<DeathStar> *Cloé clings to the Alpha's face and begins to pummel it, which blinds it and lets it trip over Nicolette. As soon s it trips, Cloé rolls off*
<DeathStar> *well not over her
<DeathStar> *her earth
<Jackieness> <Lana> "We should be good now. Ahhhh... they seem busy."
<Seraphna> **Alira glides in and swipes with the powered Void Blade**
<DeathStar> *Cloé scrambles away as Alita attacks*
<DeathStar> *The Alpha makes a noise, standing up, then stumbles awkwardly, clearly hurt. Cloé rushes and leaps again for his head and twists, dropping to the ground, forcing the alpha to the ground and then pounds the wound inflicted by Alita.*
<DeathStar> *the other werebeasts seem to have fled*
<DeathStar> <Fae> Do you want me to take us back? *She looks around, not seeing Sylph*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhhh...?"
<DeathStar> <Selena> We should go back and check on Linnet
<DeathStar> *Selena's hair slowly returns back to her black color*
<DeathStar> <Selena> I'll talk to Peace about setting up guards on all the connectors.
<DeathStar> *Fae warps them and the group reappears in the Magi Tower, where Linnet is in the middle of talking to the Magis* <Linnet> Ah, Lana! All the power is back on
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...it was sabotage."
<DeathStar> *Linnet sighs* We'll try to put more of out people out there to help protect it. Alright, Nicolette we'll show you how this place works - mind you, it now longer fires a massive attack beam
<Seraphna> Talia> Is my stash safe?
<DeathStar> *Linnet sits in the chair and begins to channel her mana into it. The ancient tech begins to power up the cannon like it's building up to shoot something, drawing power into all the connectors set up around Geyze and then indeed shoots the cannon on top of the Magi Tower out. With as much mana Linnet pours into it, it's clear it's based on the Magi with the most mana can power up the highest beam. As it shoots toward the systems in Hapian, it's then spread out around Geyze now, forming a barrier instead of hitting a target*
<DeathStar> <Linnet> The barrier will.. last as long as the mana I manage to feed the system...will.
<DeathStar> <Linnet> But being a test, I only put a little
<Seraphna> Alita> We will simply need to gather mana.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "We could probably adjust it so that multiple magi can cooperate to maintaian the system."
<DeathStar> *The barrier drops a few moments later*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> It's a shame we can't have it attack and protect. Adjusting it to shoot the Serpent would have been nice
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Defense seems wiser in this case though."
<Seraphna> Alita> Better the planet survives.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "We don't know if we can even scratch it with this weapon anyway."
<DeathStar> *Sylph appears a few moments later, panting, looking a little out of breath, her damaged wing twitching even more than usual*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Haaa
<DeathStar> <Selena> *blinks*
<DeathStar> *Fae pours water for Sylph*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Sylph! What happened?"
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Sylph went looking for person who used whistle; saw cloaked figure. Thought, definitely bad guy. Went to take a look under cloak, saw Sylph's own face staring back at her and felt dark power. He also was holding this weird... strange shaped stone. He said to pass on message. That no matter how much we defended ourselves, our backs were left undefended in the end
<DeathStar> <Sylph> And then he pattered her head and left before she could stop him. Like poof Sylph style
<DeathStar> <Selena> How do you know it was a him if he had your face?
<DeathStar> *Sylph muses* Body stance
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
