01<@DS> Date: 10-762.2.5
01<@DS> Location: Galactic Senate
01<@DS> *William paces; on the screen is pretty blank and Aya is not in attendance*
01<@DS> <William> Reports are coming in that our little stray Dark Queen has been hammering the Earth Defenses rather viciously and no visuals are coming in.
01<@DS> *Olivia is sitting over by the Suisen Table, looking as ill as ever*
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "We should initiate a response."
01<@DS> <William> The Cartel has begun to redirect our fleet toward Earth since the last skirmish at Jarivan
01<@DS> <William> However, only some of our ships will make it in a reasonble amount of time.
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "The Ascendancy is dispatching a response group as well."
01<@DS> *William turns toward Olivia* And the response from the Suisen?
01<@DS> <Olivia> W-Well, um, you see?
01<@DS> *William walks back to the table and whispers something to his sister and a face on the monitor*
01<@DS> <Olivia> All our command is not in the galaxy. I can well, see if I have the authority to dispatch the Squall
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "Speak with more confidence. You are the face and voice of the Suisen Empire right now."
01<@DS> *Olivia straightens up* Y-Yes ma'am!
<@Dias`> *Id floats there, listening*
01<@DS> *William gets predator like teeth* So I take it the PAX is gone and you are being left the task of directing the fleet. Do you have the experience to do that - direct them?
01<@DS> *Olivia slumps*
01<@DS> <Olivia> O-one moment. I have call coming in from Risokyo
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "She is the representative to this council. She need only give the fleet orders to deploy and let the commanders do their jobs."
01<@DS> *she practically flees*
01<@DS> *William turns to Arhn, leaning on the desk* <William> Do you honestly believe anyone would follow the orders of someone with the .... statue of that girl, Lady Arhn?
01<@DS> <William> The Suisen has gone off to do who knows what in another emergency *he points in Olivia's direction* And they should have left someone like Ako
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "She is not a crisis leader, no. However, this is a crisis and now is not the time for conflict nor is it th time for politicking."
01<@DS> *Olivia returns* <Olivia> Um, I was asked to put them on the screen
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "Go ahead."
01<@DS> *Olivia hooks up a connection to Risokyo and on the screen Lenneth appears hooked up to medical equipment that is keeping her alive, leaning on a pole with bags. Cuddles' staff panicking with her on the PAX right now*
01<@DS> <Lenneth> I see... I've missed a lot the past few weeks. William. Serafina. Shiva. *she nods to them.*
<@Seraphna> **An Athena looking girl is eyeing Lenneth and starting to work on her quietly**
<Jackieness> <Arhn> *rises from her chair* "Lenneth, have you been apprised of the situation in the Sol system?"
01<@DS> <Lenneth> I been told of the Queen, yes. *she pauses, like she spaced out a moment* If the Cartel is okay with it, I can take control of the Squalls from here.
<@Seraphna> Ulieah> Action does feel better than endless politicking.
01<@DS> *William is quiet for a moment, studying the condition of her* You seem like you should be healing still.
01<@DS> *he listens to something* <William> Alright, you take control of the fleet
01<@DS> *Lenneth nods, turning to the girl helping her* Lets get me to the control center in the city
<@Seraphna> Saga> I’ll keep her going. Momma will be fierce if she is unwell.
01<@DS> <William> I will depart to help lead our fleet. *to Arhn* Lets just hope Earth can handle itself until we arrive
<@Seraphna> **Saga nods and eyes all the equipment, warping it with them, and some auxiliary staff after staring into space a moment**
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "We will stop the Queen, nnomatter what. We must."
01<@DS> -SHIFT-
01<@DS> Loction: Striker HQ
01<@DS> *Evette returns with supplies for the ship* <Evette> We may have a problem
<@Dias`> *Chad looks over at Evette* Let's hear it.
01<@DS> *Taiga lifts her goggles up as works on getting a piece back in*
01<@DS> <Evette> Earth is about to be consumed
<@Seraphna> Kumiko> **pauses and looks down at them from where she sits on the ceiling**
01<@DS> *She brings on screen some images from Luna, showing the Queen destroying or adding death cannons to it's tentacles*
<@Dias`> *Chad clicks his tongue as he looks at the screen* Taiga, can we borrow one of your ships?
01<@DS> <Taiga> Judging by the size and damage done to it, it must be the Queen from Jarivan.
<@Dias`> <Chad> Agreed.
01<@DS> *Taiga climbs out moves through the station* Just why did it pick Earth as it's target
<@Seraphna> Si> Well we better stop it. I keep some of my stuff there.
01<@DS> <Taiga> Cartel was closer
<@Seraphna> Si> Seems like it was directed.
<@Dias`> <Chad> It was either forced in that direction from an outside source or there's something there it wants. *He crosses his arms* I wonder though.
01<@DS> <Taiga> It seems possible, but the hybrid is in another galaxy
<@Dias`> <Chad> What about one on a higher plane?
<@Seraphna> Si> Maybe it wasn’t the hybrid that directed it.
<@Seraphna> Si> A Dark One Queen is still a Dark One Queen.
01<@DS> *Taiga pulls the sheet off of a personal ship; it looks like it has the parts of Noire and Yoi's but it also has strange parts to it that other ships do not have*
<@Seraphna> Si> A-Are you sure?
<@Dias`> <Chad> If, and we don't have enough information, but if this is the Higher Chad's machinations, then it's most likely pointed there for a specific reason.
01<@DS> <Taiga> It is hard to say; the hybrid was affecting it briefly. The higher planes Chad has his fingers all over it. Especially if he has .... his own
01<@DS> <Taiga> Well it was just gathering dust. Si
01<@DS> <Taiga> This ship, Chad, is a personal ship I was designing but never completed due to all the chaos. *she steps inside it*
<@Dias`> <Chad> Or technology derived from it. Regardless, it's become a threat. Hopefully X and put herself, Dias and the Weapons in to action.
<@Dias`> *Chad follows with her*
<@Seraphna> **Si hops on while Kumiko goes to the station controls to drum up any help they can get**
01<@DS> *The inside looks to be designed rather normally like an EarthGov ship; though there is an upper level seat to unlock some othre functions* <Taiga> Right now you just focus on piloting the normal. That seat up there will be a bit too much for you. *she takes the helm*
01<@DS> *Evette sits* <Evette> X is pretty dutiful
<@Dias`> <Chad> It's why she's a good back-up for you.
01<@DS> *Taiga programs the destination and pulls a lever; it feels like the ship pulls in on itself, then vanishes*
<@Dias`> <Chad> I'll let that slight slide for now, Taiga. *He says in his plain tone as he sits down in the pilot seat*
<@Seraphna> Si> Fuuuuu.
01<@DS> *the ship appears right in space near the monster, popping into existence*
01<@DS> *The Dark Queen swings a tendril at them, trying to catch them and add to it's body; other EarthForce equipment, including ships, are already stuck on like armor*
<@Seraphna> Si> Wow, so close I can see its horrible netherbreached entanglement of eyes staring our souls into the abyss.
<@Dias`> *Chad pulls the controls to try and avoid it, trying to adjust to it as quickly as possible* Evette, scan what you can.
<@Seraphna> **Si spawns a rolling wall of flames out there to slow it**
01<@DS> <Evette> That I can do. *she begins to actively scan the creature as it is hit with fire. A moment later, the tendrils all turn to face them and tons of blasts begin to go off*
01<@DS> <Taiga> It looks like we are engaging
<@Dias`> <Chad> ....I feel a headache coming on. *He sighs annoyedly as he begins to maneuver the ship to try and dodge*
01<@DS> *the information slowly begins to go across the screen as Chad prepares for OG*
01<@DS> Left, Right, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Down, Up, Left, Right, Down, Up

01<@DS> *They manage to avoid it and the Queen turns to face them and begins to chase*
01<@DS> <Taiga> Well, good news
01<@DS> <Taiga> It's no longer advancing on Earth
01<@DS> <Taiga> Bad news it's going to hunt us down until it gets us
<@Dias`> <Chad> Interesting that it's chose to come directly at us now. *He keep's flying them away*
<@Dias`> <Chad> Taiga. What kind of damage would that thing do to Hyperspace potentially?
<@Seraphna> Si> Fuuu. It clearly sensed the hot fire bunny on board.
01<@DS> *Evette pauses* I'm sensing sommething--- **suddenly it shadow ports right in front of them and begins to expand a large blackhole, not too far from Earth still but right in front of them definitely*
01<@DS> *Taiga flicks switches* That's a damn Noire move
<@Dias`> *Chad pulls the ship upwards in an attempt to try and avoid it.* Think we can pull that thing in to hyperspace with us and use that to destroy it, Taiga?
01<@DS> <Taiga> We can try
01<@DS> -SHIFT
01<@DS> Location: Mansion Base
01<@DS> *Cheryl finishes the repairs on the ship*
<@Seraphna> Tabetha> Soooo. Weird story.
01<@DS> *Lemon and Tabetha repair them while Mem and Hotaru have joined them*
01<@DS> <Chii> Weird how?
<@Seraphna> Tabetha> I have Nyarl offering to kill the Queen and bring Johnny back for an obvious price.
01<@DS> *Cheryl motions them onto the ship*
01<@DS> <Cheryl> If I recall
<@Seraphna> **Angela boards as Tabetha climbs on**
<@Dias`> *Id floats on to it*
01<@DS> <Cheryl> John's existence is tied into the seal. The only reason some of us remember is that we were there when it happened
01<@DS> *Hotaru says nothing, but she gives off an air of discontent that John was used in the first place*
<@Seraphna> Tabetha> Since we used him to seal her she seems to be able to tap into our bond.
01<@DS> <Cheryl> Well.... *turns* Has one of you been thinking about John lately?
<@Seraphna> Tabetha> I had two children with him. Impossible not to.
01<@DS> *Mem studies Hotaru* <Mem> I'm guessing both of them weren't pleased with how it went down. <Cheryl> The man was on his death bed
<@Seraphna> Tabetha> We know. Still sucks.
<@Seraphna> Angela> Loss is always hard.
01<@DS> <Hotaru> Maybe it could be fixed. *referring to Nyarl*
01<@DS> *Freyja stays silent*
<@Seraphna> Angela> I doubt he’d want you too letting her free just for him though.
<@Dias`> <Id> Do you really think a John that has been tied to it for this long would be released without being corrupted?
<@Seraphna> Tabetha> It’s why I brought it up. She says she can stop the Queen.
<@Seraphna> Angela> Well I doubt she had the power to bring it here. She’s probably just being an opportunist.
01<@DS> *Cheryl rubs her face* Well the problem is
01<@DS> <Cheryl> I'm guessing either one of you two could take her offer and we can't do anything to stop you
<@Dias`> <Id> This is true.
01<@DS> <Cheryl> She might - probbly would - keep her offre
01<@DS> <Cheryl> But would it be worth the hell that will follow
<@Dias`> <Id> It is most likely that she would always keep the offer there.
<@Dias`> <Id> This is just most likely her best leverage.
<@Seraphna> Tabetha> I would only take it if the rest of you think we need her help to save Earth.
01<@DS> <Freyja> Even if we win here, she'll offer the next unclimbable problem to solve
01<@DS> <Freyja> Until one of you break and take it
<@Dias`> <Id> Indeed, that is it's best play.
<@Seraphna> Tabetha> So I have a new imaginary friend?
01<@DS> *Cheryl begins to head them out toward somewhere*
01<@DS> <Lemon> hm
01<@DS> *Freyja hands Hotaru and Tabetha charms* <Freyja> Put them on and you should be able to slowly block her out
<@Seraphna> **Tabetha puts it on**
01<@DS> *Hotaru puts her's away*
01<@DS> *the group arrives at Tokyo where Aya is gathering everyone from Cassandra, to X and Dias, as well as the Weapons*
01<@DS> *Aya seems to be speaking with the Atleans, Repliforce and whoever she get her hands on*
<@Seraphna> **The Other Lizard People too!**
01<@DS> *Freyja folds her hands, sitting off to the side and looking a little bit guilty as everyone is gathering on how to handle the giant Dark Queen looming in the sky*
<@Dias`> *Dias stretches as he waits* I bet I could punch it from here.
01<@DS> <X> I am sure dear. *The toddler mimics punching the sky*
<@Seraphna> Angel> Did we ever finish that cannon that blasts Dias into space? We could try it.
01<@DS> <Aya> I think its been stored somewhere
<@Dias`> <Dias> That's not what the Dias cannon was for.
<@Dias`> <Dias> Plus I can do that myself freely now.
01<@DS> *Andrea steps over to Cassandra, wearing nothing a cosplayer like outfit that includes a black cape and a Dark One outfit underneath*
01<@DS> <Blue> Why don't we just do it normally and fight it in a shuttle?
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Speculation aside, from what I have seen of thesee reports, that thing is soaking up everything we throw at it. Literally. Itsabsorbing ships and defense sats to grow its mass and firepower."
<@Dias`> *Dias kneels over, adjusting his kids form* Like that.
01<@DS> *suddenly there is a boom sound and a blackhole opens up in space near them*
01<@DS> *X shields her eyes and stares* <Cheryl> Fuck
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *looks at Andrea* "...should I even ask?"
01<@DS> <Andrea> This will help gather my power
<@Dias`> <Dias> Hooobooy. I haven't punched one of those apart yet.
01<@DS> <Cheryl> Alright. *She steps over and takes charge*
01<@DS> <Cheryl> We need categories of heroes
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Noire would hate it." *turns ehr attention back to Cheryl*
01<@DS> <Cheryl> First - who thinks they can hit that thing from the ground?
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *just looks at Dias*
<@Dias`> *Dias holds his thumb up at it* ....I could, but for me to do that kind of damage required it would...*He looks around* I'd need a lot of room around me.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "How much?"
<@Seraphna> Angela> I can certainly control Epsilon from here.
01<@DS> <X> It's Dias. It's always good to give him space
<@Dias`> <Dias> Well concentrating it....Probably a 1/2 mile to be safe? But I'll most likely be tapped afterwards.
<@Seraphna> Angel> I could try a ground based Hyperspace Blast, but I can do that anywhere.
01<@DS> <Cheryl> Alright then
01<@DS> <Cheryl> Catetory 2 then will be this
01<@DS> <Cheryl> Those who don't mind getting onto shuttles and attacking in space. Dragoons, those who can fly them, do magic attacks in space, that sort of stuff
01<@DS> <Chreyl> And Category 3 is direct combat with it
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Fly Dias to one of the decomm'ed military bases then. Saves the taxpayer money on demo'ing the place."
01<@DS> <X> I can handle that
01<@DS> <Andrea> I'll stay in category 1 and launch my attacks at it
01<@DS> *Andrea begins to draw on the ground*
<@Dias`> <Dias> So you want me attacking from me? Or on it? Cuz collateral damage will happen up there too from me.
<@Seraphna> Angela> Well, I am an active Dragoon with Cheryl... though Chii can also pilot.
<@Seraphna> Tabetha> Hota and I can go Dragon.
01<@DS> <Chii> We'll do a three-way dragon. <Cheryl> Get ready
<@Seraphna> Angel> I'll just be the Progenitor around here then since I'm the only one about I guess.
<@Dias`> <Dias> So shotgun or sniper rifle Dias?
01<@DS> *Aya's hand shoots up, looking up at the sky with her binoculars* Wait! Don't anyone move
01<@DS> -SHIFT-
01<@DS> Location: Taiga's Ship
01<@DS> *the blackhole keeps slowly pulling them in*
<@Seraphna> Si> I oddly wonder if we're experiencing time dilation or not.
01<@DS> *Taiga works on giving them more power to try to get away; the Dark Queen seems to be preparing something*
01<@DS> <Taiga> It is hard to say
<@Dias`> <Chad> Not on a major scale. Since it would be affected by it also. *He eyes something* It's up to something Taiga.
<@Seraphna> **SI muses, then starts amplifying the actual fire coming from the engines to increase their thrust**
01<@DS> *Taiga grabs a datapad and starts a timer with the time on the holonet*
01<@DS> <Taiga> *studies it when dark spikes begin to appear all over in space*
01<@DS> *trying to impale the ship right as tendrils come in to hug them and pull them in
<@Dias`> *Chad begins to try and swerve the ship the best he can to try and dodge the incoming spikes*
<@Dias`> <Chad> Would a short hyperspace jump work?
01<@DS> <Taiga> Yes. All jump features are working
01<@DS> *they manage to avoid the spikes with Si's hlep*
<@Seraphna> Si> Blast Forward, to avoid an awkward HR conversation!
<@Dias`> <Chad> We may need to do that to break free. Someone try and return fire on the incoming tendrils.
<@Seraphna> **Si hmms, and sends a mote of the flames out and regrows it at the tendrils**
01<@DS> *Taiga leans her right hand over and green fire blast out*
<@Dias`> <Chad> I'm curious as to why it's still so focused on us and not the planet anymore
<@Seraphna> Si> Maybe it came for you Chad.
01<@DS> <Evette> Probably because we are right in it's face
01<@DS> <Taiga> You might be joking but it could be true
<@Dias`> <Chad> ...You don't have some sort of Dark One Seed or Core powering this ship that we don't know about do you?
<@Seraphna> Si> DId we use some of Noire's parts?
01<@DS> <Taiga> It has some parts like Noire's ship but not enough to take notice
01<@DS> <Taiga> The other newer parts are it's primary parts
<@Dias`> <Chad> Well we'll need to get some more distance to see if it's me it's wanting.
01<@DS> *As they get away from the black hole, it has indeed stopped chasing, and returned to Earth where the pull is still great*
01<@DS> *Taiga brings up stuff on the scanners*
<@Dias`> <Chad> I'm going to bring us near it again, see if it comes after us or not. *Chad brings the ship around keeping somewhat of a distance*
01<@DS> <Taiga> We have problems. *as they come around, the massive Queen attacks Luna, destroying a good chunk of the moon*
<@Seraphna> Si> Kaelan's gonna be piiiiiisssed.
01<@DS> *lunar debris begins to fall down, some of it being ucked toaward the black hole, while the Queen begins to attach some of it to itself and begins to gather other parts to begin hurling it toward Earth*
<@Dias`> <Chad> We need to fire on it, draw it's attention again
<@Seraphna> Si> Yeah that's... umm.. already world ending.
01<@DS> *Taiga gathers power into the missiles and begins to fire green missiles*
<@Dias`> <Chad> Taiga, start firing on it.
01<@DS> <Taiga> Here goes nothing
01<@DS> -SHIFT-
01<@DS> Location: Tokyo
01<@DS> <X> I think we need to do something
01<@DS> *she eyes what looks to be meteorites coming down*
01<@DS> *one streaks by close and strikes somewhere in the ocean nearby*
<@Seraphna> *Angela begins deploying Betas to intercept as many as she can**
<@Seraphna> Angela> Guess it's time to do the shield of earth function.
01<@DS> *Cheryl gathers Chii and Angela to go dragon; while this is going on Tabetha would find Nyarl fading from memory as well as some man namd Jo something*
<@Dias`> <Dias> Then let's get to it. *He pulls both hands back as she shifts his legs apart. He then begins punching upwards, sending compressed air bullets towards the incoming meteors*
01<@DS> *Aya moves to handle the shields*
<@Dias`> *The Weapons spread out, beginning to do clean up on any debris*
01<@DS> *Those covering the sky of meteorites, prepare yourselves*
01<@DS> Up, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Down, Down, Right, left, Up, Up, Down, Right, Up, left

01<@DS> *Dias manages to get most of them, missing only two of them, leaving just part of Tokyo missing parts of buildings*
01<@DS> *and Juan's latest Juan World Burger*
<@Dias`> *a heat rises from Dias as he pulls both firsts back, his eyes looking around*
01<@DS> *Blue hands Cassandra a railgun* Here oldtimer go shoot something
01<@DS> *Andrea pulls out a tome and begins to flip through it*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Show time." *chambers a rail gun round*
01<@DS> *while this was going on, the dark queen is getting close, causing Earth to shake from it's size. Right now, Angela is the pilot of the large dragon form*
01<@DS> *Tsukiyomi appears, looking pissed and holds out her hands, attempting to restore the moon*
01<@DS> <X> How are you, Dias?
<@Dias`> <Dias> You guys do what you can until I'm ready. *He slowly shifts left foot back as he adopts an odd stance, his left fist against his right hand* Warmed up love.
<@Seraphna> **Angela sends out salvos of Dragon Blasts at the thing, mainly targetting it's attacking limbs**
01<@DS> *The Dark Queen makes a noise of anger and suddenly slams large tendrils into the ground, shaking the planet and the city*
<@Seraphna> **Angel appears near Tsukiyomi to sheild her, helping by recovering and moving pieces to her with energy**
01<@DS> *dark enregy pulsating into the ground*
<@Seraphna> **Angela blasts at tendrils, seeking to blow up as many as she can** GET OFF MY PLANET!
01<@DS> *a tendril shoots for Tsuki, attempting to grab her and drag hre to it's armored body*
<@Seraphna> **Angel blasts it with Hyperspace, keeping the Moon Goddess safe**
01<@DS> *Lemon looksat the tendrils in the ground tht are being shot at when a Dark
<@Seraphna> Angel> Nope! You're not fucking over our planet that way either she-bitch!
01<@DS> *Lemon looksat the tendrils in the ground tht are being shot at when a Dark One emerges from the earth*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *meanwhile tries to coordinate rescue efforts on the ground*
<@Dias`> *Dias feet suddenly crater downwards in to the ground as the area around his hand grows bright white, crackling with purple energy*
01<@DS> *The Queen opens it's mouth, and a large beam attack flies at Angela*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Get civilians out of the area. We're on!" *turns and starts firing at the tendrils*
01<@DS> *Lemon begins to help get people away with Blue*
<@Seraphna> **Angela deploys a Holy Barrier and several Betas move to block as well, Angela flies to the side as she does this since she has three minds working to do stuff**
<@Dias`> <Dias> X I sense another Dark One.
01<@DS> *The barrier shatters and the betas poof to dust*
01<@DS> <X> Great. I'll get it
01<@DS> -SHIFT-
<@Dias`> <Dias> Now that's its closer....*a flare up of holy energy erupts from Dias's hand now*
01<@DS> Location: Taiga's Ship
01<@DS> <Taiga> It seems to be going down to consume the planet
01<@DS> *monitors are showing all the chaos of the moon crashing*
<@Dias`> <Chad> Then we need to take advantage of it's turning it's back on us then.
01<@DS> <Evette> We should becareful if that thing get lay more seeds and make more of itself
01<@DS> <Taiga> So what is the plan? Hit with our strongest attacks from above?
01<@DS> *Taiga leans over toward Si, connecting with their bond*
<@Dias`> <Chad> From the side. Just incase it does something that causes us to miss and attack the planet directly.
01<@DS> *Taiga leans back, frowning, thinking*
<@Dias`> <Chad> What?
01<@DS> <Taiga> My partner here twisting my idea into a bad one
<@Seraphna> Si> Mmm. You know you're not doing anything crazy without me.
<@Dias`> <Chad> What's your idea?
01<@DS> <Taiga> All that armor it keeps adding to itself from ships and other material. It'll keep doing that as we blow stuff off. Especially near a city.
01<@DS> <Taiga> It might be easier to go in through the mouth and blow it up from inside
<@Dias`> <Chad> ....Sigh. You're right. But we have to worry about being absorbe.d
01<@DS> <Evette> Or corrupted
<@Seraphna> Si> We'd have to be in a barrier that constantly keeps it at bay then.
01<@DS> <Taiga> *turns to Si* I suppose we can gather a group that can do high damage inside and have the others outside continue to pummel it. That way it can't focus on us
<@Seraphna> Si> If we can get Auntie Angel, she could probably take us right in there and keep Hyperspacing it.
01<@DS> <Taiga> Well, we
01<@DS> <Taiga> Well, we'll see. Lets head down to the others
01<@DS> -SHIFT-
01<@DS> Location: Risokyo
01<@DS> *Lenneth breathes heavily, trying not to pass out as she focuses with all the fleet commanders and gives them orders, controlling them from the screen like they were a game*
01<@DS> *William on comms> We are about to arrive at the Sol system. How are you doing, Lady Arhn?
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "Ascendancy response group is inbound to the Sol system."
01<@DS> <William comm> We'll see if there is anything left for you. *the Cartel and the Squalls exit into the Sol system. On the monitor, Lenneth pilots them toward Mars when they begin to detect a strange emptiness in space*
<@Seraphna> **Saga seems to be touch point healing Lenneth as she works, using manifestation with her weird accuracy that seems to involve watching possibilities as they happen**
01<@DS> *viewing it, it seems to reflect back at them*
01<@DS> *William orders his people to halt while Lenneth just stares, wondering if her fever is acting up*
<@Seraphna> Saga> Space cannot be empty, it is in fact the emptiness. Something is there.
01<@DS> <William comm> Lady Arhn
01<@DS> <William> We might be delayed longer than we planned.
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "What is the situation?"
01<@DS> <William> Either a piece of space has been cut out, or an entire area of space has been blocked off with some sort of barrier.
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "Given the impossibilty of the former, then assume the latter."
01<@DS> *he begins to have the Cartel look into it. Lenneth turns toward Saga*
01<@DS> <Lenneth> We need to see if there is a way around this. Help me
<@Seraphna> Saga> **nods, knowing what she means, and her eyes glow pure white as she starts looking through timelines, then slowly her fingers would start to work**
01<@DS> *The squalls begin to move to find a way - one way or another*
01<@DS> -SHIFT-
01<@DS> Location: Tokyo
01<@DS> *the holy energy seems to damage it a bit and it grows larger, tendrils snatching stuff from all over Tokyo and bringing it back toward it*
01<@DS> *The Dark One struggles with X while Lemon and Blue keep helping stragglers. Freyja attempts to bless things*
<@Seraphna> **Angela sends out another blast of holy energy into the beams, going Dragoon Bahamut with her attacks**
<@Dias`> *Dias pulls his left fist back and then swings it forward, sending a condensed wave of holy energy towards it*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *provides cover fire for Lemon and Blue*
01<@DS> *The creature opens its mouth again and aims downward, firing; the beam beginning to tear up the ground outside Tokyo and making a massive ravine that seems to grow deeper and deeper as it shoots toward Dias; the people around Dias that will get caught up are X, Andrea, and Freyja*
01<@DS> *Lemon pauses at the shaking and falls over; the armor finally attaches to it and a lot of it has holes in it due to Angela*
<@Dias`> *Dias narrows his eyes and he releases a wave of heavy pressure and he pulls both his hands backwards, different colors swirling around them as his skin begins to burn. He steps forwards and swings both hands forward and directing the blast towards the incoming one trying to intercept it and push it back and upwards*
<@Seraphna> **Tabetha starts flinging people to safety that are in the path, taxing her own abilities to do so**
01<@DS> *the blasts collide and at first it looks like it might push back, but then it explodes due to the forces of the two, causing a massive hole and knocking Dis back and the force wave knocking people away*
01<@DS> *Taiga's ship arrives in the area and begins to shake and spin out*
01<@DS> <Taiga> What the fuck!?
<@Seraphna> **Angela catches it and flies to set it down**
<@Dias`> *Dias smashes in to a car, causing it to cave in and Dias to bounce up and over it before he adjusts himself and lands in a crouch, breathing heavily*
01<@DS> *Taiga lands and peers out* <Evette> I was going to suggest Dias be eaten
<@Dias`> <Chad> ....You could still send him in. Or it's going to have to be this ship.
01<@DS> *Taiga thumbs up at the dragon and peers out as the creature looks ready to drive more tendrils in. Andrea steps out, placing a hat on and looking a lot like a magic girl as she holds a staff out to fire blasts of magic at it's eye*
<@Dias`> <Chad> So we sending Dias in or we heading in?
01<@DS> <Taiga> I lost sight of him
01<@DS> *Taiga motions at Angela, then yells the plan to her*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *finds a sniper's position and then fires at it, trying to blow open any gaps in its crude armor*
01<@DS> *the railgun blows a chunk out of the shuttle*
<@Seraphna> **Angela nods**
01<@DS> *Andrea unleashes a powerful ultima like spell blows up a chunk armor, exposing some flesh; it immeditely looks to gather more armor from a building*
<@Dias`> <Chad> Maybe we should've asked our Hybrid to stop it. *He clicks his tongue in annoyance*
<@Seraphna> **Angela sends a salvo from her maw at it, aiming at the cap and a bit the the building**
01<@DS> *Tsukiyomi begns to repair the moon, shaking; the Queen begins t charge two blasts and fires at Andrea and Tsukiyomi*
01<@DS> *Taiga begins to take the helm again* Lets go
<@Seraphna> **Angel forms a barrier around herself and Tsukiyomi**
01<@DS> *X finds Dias and helps hom up*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *aims at the piece that Andrea exposed and then fires an explosive round*
<@Dias`> *Dias rotates his body as he's helped up, crackling his joints* That was unexpected.
<@Seraphna> **Angela takes to the air, sending a blast at the one coming for Andrea**
01<@DS> *The Queen makes a world shattering scream of pain since it's new cover was blocked; Andrea and the cover are hit around the same time and a dust cloud goes up, allowing Taigas group to fly under cover of it*
<@Dias`> *Chad flies them under it*
<@Seraphna> **Angela takes after the Taiga group**
01<@DS> <X> You okay still?
<@Dias`> <Dias> I suppose I shouldn't hold back. *He flexes his left hand, beginning to gather dark matter in his palm*
<@Dias`> <Dias> With you by my side, I'll always be good.
01<@DS> *overhead, the sounds of the Suisen Squalls, the Cartel ships, and the Erusians ships arrive*
01<@DS> *The Dark Queen begins to dig itself into the planet; Andrea shakily rising and attempting to cast hold on it*
01<@DS> <Tsukiyomi> Angel. I should be okay if you want to join the battle; you can do a lot of damage
<@Seraphna> **Saga still glowing the eyes starts to calm a little by her Aunt**
<@Dias`> *Dias slams his hands together as he begins condensing the dark matter causing energy to crackle off him and along the ground*
<@Seraphna> **Angel nods** Okay... but don't you die on us. Earth is gone without a Moon.
01<@DS> *Andrea begins to get dragged into the hole it's digging*
<@Seraphna> **Angel closes her eyes, then begins to warp into where the others are going**
<@Dias`> <Dias> How big of a ripple you think you can make? *He glances at her*
01<@DS> *Tsuki nods ands works to put the moon together*
<@Seraphna> **Tabetha pulls Andrea to her with TK and seems to be getting somewhere to hold safely**
01<@DS> <X> As big as I can imagine I guess
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *comm* "This just in, team. Allied fleets just jumped into the system."
<@Dias`> *Dias strains a bit as he keeps his hands together* Think you can send it back up once?
01<@DS> <X> I can
01<@DS> *the Queen is almost fully buried now; William and Lenneth's ships begin to fire down at it*
01<@DS> <William> The enemy is running
<@Dias`> <Dias> Then buy me some time. *He slams his hands together again, causing a high shreiking noise*
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "We could attempt to use tractor beams to pull it back to the surface and then into orbit."
01<@DS> *X focuses, putting her hands out*
<@Seraphna> Saga> We need to pull it out. Use tractors.
<@Dias`> <Chad> I'm picking up a highly condensed dark matter signature Taiga.
01<@DS> <Lenneth> From it?
01<@DS> *Taig
01<@DS> <Lenneth> Use as many squalls as we can
<@Dias`> <Chad> No, off to the side. Most likely Dia....Yeah, X is planning something also.
01<@DS> <Taiga> That actually might be a bad ida
<@Dias`> <Chad> Then we need to stop him. Evette, see what you can do. *He continues focusing on keeping their ship from being hit*
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "Coordinating optimal deployment for multi-ship tractor beam operations."
01<@DS> *the tractor beams seem to be struggling with how deep the queen is but slowly, somehow, they begin to pull it out like a tick. X falls to one knee as it begins to go up int oth eair*
01<@DS> *however - it seems to be firing its beam as it goes up, right down into the planet*
01<@DS> *thrashing abuut and still firing it like an angry child*
<@Dias`> *The ground beneath him suddenly craters as Dias let's out a breathe and tosses the orb into his mouth, swallowing it*
<@Seraphna> **Betas begin to gather and try to form a shield against the blast**
01<@DS> **The spot by Freyja explodes, then a beam slices near Cassandra and one shoots by Taiga's ship*
01<@DS> *Evette works on contacting someoone near Dias*
<@Seraphna> **Angela covers herself and the Taiga ship with a Holy Barrier again**
01<@DS> *The betas blow up8
01<@DS> *it finally tough stops, as if it has a timer on use*
01<@DS> <Evette> We can go into it if we fly fast enough
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "Positioning forces for attack. The moment it is clear of Earth's atmosphere, engage it. Remember to keep a minimal safe distance so it doesn't absorb your ships."
<@Dias`> *Dias erupts in dark matter energy and he steps out in his Motenk/Dark One form, his tail cracking against the ground before he disappears and appears infront of the queen and he swings his fist, sending a wave of condensed air towards it*
01<@DS> *the creature begins to fire it's tendrils at the suisen squall ships, trying to grab them and pull them toward it for armor*
01<@DS> *the Queen is knocked out of the tractor beam and falls back to earth*
01<@DS> *the giant size of it shaking the city*
01<@DS> <William comm> What in the stupidity was that?
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "Later, try to get the situation back under control. Re-deploy to capture it again."
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *tries to get to cover*
<@Seraphna> **Saga sends orders to various ships to have them disentangle each other with cannons before trying agian**
<@Dias`> *Dias then disappears and reappears beside it again, swinging upwards this time*
01<@DS> <Lenneth> ...*hold s chest* Fascinating
01<@DS> *the queen flies and then it sprouts wings*
01<@DS> <Taiga> They fly now!?
<@Seraphna> Si> They fly now!
01<@DS> *The queen begins to flap them to cause a powerful wind below*
01<@DS> <Andrea> ... *aims her staff* ...
<@Dias`> *Dias hops several times on the ground and then dashes along the ground to get under it and squats, leaping upwards into the wind towards it*
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "Its up. Engage tractor beams."
<@Seraphna> **Saga has the squalls tractor**
01<@DS> *Lenneth activates her's as does the Cartel; as the beams comes in, suddenly it shadow ports right to Tsukiyomi, then blasts hre full on toward Dias to knock her toward him and the moon*
<@Dias`> <Chad> It's evolving.
01<@DS> *Then begins to gather what appears to be another black hole right there on Earth, the planet shaking as it begins to form*
01<@DS> <Taiga> How is something the size of a small moon moving that fast
<@Dias`> *Dias grabs onto Tsuki, catching her but the momentum takes him with her*
<@Dias`> <Chad> It created another black hole. Where's Noire when you need someone to absorb it.
01<@DS> *Tsuki focuses and stops them in s[ace*
<@Seraphna> Si> I dunno. Are we there yet?
<@Dias`> *Dias nods to her then motions back at it as he shifts himself to aim at it*
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "William, we may not have any choice but to bombard the Dark Queen before it can finish its attack on Earth."
01<@DS> *Andrea steps up to the blackhole that is forming and sticks her wand into it, trying to draw it's attention from everyone else*
01<@DS> <William> I agree. Lenneth?
01<@DS> <Lenneth> .... Agreed. Saga, take aim at the Queen
<@Seraphna> **Saga coordinates the groups**
<@Seraphna> Saga> Follow orders... minimal ground damage.
01<@DS> **Tsukiyomi begins to form moonlight around herself*
01<@DS> *one ring at a time*
01<@DS> *Then with hre remaining power due to the damaged moon, Dias is shot down at high speed*
<@Dias`> *Dias rockets in at the Queen*
01<@DS> *Andrea yanks the dark hole energy to her wand*
01<@DS> *The queen opens its mouth to eat Andrea, so far unaware of what is going on*
<@Dias`> *Dias shifts his hands a bit causing himself to spin like a bullet being fired*
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "Ascendancy battle group, ready fusion lances to cut through its armor."
01<@DS> *Mem/Hotaru land next to X in dragon form and grab her, then land next to Cassandra and drop her off*
<@Dias`> *The moment before Dias contancts, his swings his fist forward aiming to pierce through it*
01<@DS> *Hotaru splits off, holding what looks to be Nyarl's offer*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Welcome to the club. We have an open bar."
01<@DS> <Aya> .... *leans forward as Dias seems to explode through part of the queen's body as it bites down at Andrea --- going through it's massive body and out the other side, right as the orbital bombardment goes off and begins to blow up the area
01<@DS> <Taiga> Raising shields.
<@Dias`> *Dias hits the ground sliding across it before he eye's the incoming bombardments and shifts gears, moving to intercept anything that misses*
01<@DS> *William leans back, glancing at Serafina, then back. X seems to be trying to locate Dias in all the chaos, then vanishes*
01<@DS> *after it's over, the body of the Queen is decimated? There is an eerie beautiful crater behind*
01<@DS> *on the backdrop of the damaged Tokyo city*
<@Dias`> <Chad> Evette, start scanning for it.
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "Sensors focus on the ground and surrounding space. Make sure we got all of it."
01<@DS> *Tsukiyomi kneels and makes a note of needing Tarehian counter part to help repair the moon, being too weak now to finish alone*
01<@DS> *as all of them begin to scan it, a blip does appear; it seems to be coming from Angela's dragon form*
01<@DS> <William> .... *zooms in on the dragon and targets*
<@Dias`> *Dias is found standing there, smoke rising off his body and a distant look in his eyes
01<@DS> <Lenneth> Saga, what are we seeing? *she leans back with hre eyes closed*
<@Seraphna> Saga> Scans show the Dragon... did she save the others inside?
01<@DS> *X throws a piece of metal to the side* <X> Idiot
<@Dias`> *Dias seems to snap out of it and looks at X* Huh? Did we win?
01<@DS> *scaning it shows*
01<@DS> *a piece of the queen is attached to the outside of the dragon, trying to grow and absorb it*
01<@DS> <X> We did
01<@DS> <Lemon> Cassandra
<@Seraphna> **Angela works to burn it off with Holy** Get off me you piece of dark filth.
01<@DS> *she points at Anngela* Can you get it?
01<@DS> *the holy makes it smoke and stand out*
<@Dias`> *Dias smiles a bit then falls against her* I can't feel my legs....
<@Seraphna> Saga> Yes, all but one piece left on Angela's wing.
01<@DS> *X throws his arm ovre her shouldr
01<@DS> <X> You always do too much
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *nods and takes aim at it, then fires to try to snipe it off*
01<@DS> *it and the holy burning splatter it*
<@Dias`> <Dias> I do it so others don't have to. *He relaxes on her shoulder*
01<@DS> *X snorts* Well maybe this time you'll actually retire
<@Dias`> <Dias> Plus it's our kids home.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "I still got it."
01<@DS> <X> That it is
<@Dias`> <Dias> And I also get to have you scold me after.
01<@DS> *Maya, Hess and Kaori's kid, run down to check on them and bring sports drinks*
01<@DS> -SHIFT-
01<@DS> Location: Mega City
01<@DS> *Maya plays a game in the corner while they hold a meeting. William reads over the reports; Lenneth is there via holonet; Cheryl leans on the wall*
01<@DS> <Taiga> The deathtoll is still rising not to mention the number of people that are missing. Andrea is MIA right now but she is probably just plotting until the right timw to show up
01<@DS> <Cheryl> She was right under the firning of all our ships, I'm not sure
<@Dias`> <Dias> I caught her almost getting eaten by it before I punched right through it.
<@Dias`> <Dias> But I lost track of her when I switched my focus to collateral
01<@DS> <Cheryl> How you survived continues to baffle me
<@Dias`> *Chad sits there, listening*
<@Dias`> <Dias> Beacuse I made promises to come home to my kids. *He holds out a picture of his youngest* I would never lie to my kids.
01<@DS> *Freyja sips some tea, keeping an eye on Tabetha*
<@Seraphna> **Tabetha eyes her back slowly** What?
01<@DS> <Freyja> It is nothing. *bow*
<@Seraphna> Tabetha> Mmm. **she nods, musing, sending a note to her kids she's okay, even the odd red headed ones**
<@Dias`> <Chad> So we've confirmed that the Queen is dead correct?
01<@DS> *Aya sets the reports down* Yes, it looks like that to me
01<@DS> <Lenneth on comms> Of course, there is still something left to be done. <William> Ah. I figured there was more to this story if all your leaders were missing
<@Dias`> <Chad> I know you'll make sure. *He then looks at William* Reports say you ran into something odd that delayed you. Can you explain?
01<@DS> <William> Some sort of barrier - it was massive in size and meant to detour us from arriving in time. I kept a ship behind and they said it's gone now
<@Dias`> <Chad> I'd like to see the data you got from it if that's ok.
01<@DS> <William> I do not mind if one of you will share what is behind all of this
<@Dias`> *Chad drums his fingers a bit as he looks around* I have a theory.
01<@DS> *he nods and transfers the data*
01<@DS> <Cheryl> Thats all it takes?
<@Dias`> <Chad> But I'd rather not send us chasing after something without more information.
01<@DS> <William> If you get your theories in order and need help, you know where to find me
01<@DS> <William> Lenneth, you can return when you are fully healed.
<@Dias`> <Chad> Give me some time to review this and I'll pass it on.
01<@DS> *He nods then steps out, Serafina waiting*
01<@DS> -TIME JUMP-
01<@DS> Date: 10-762.2.6
01<@DS> Location: PAX
01<@DS> *the ship arrives back in their galaxy; and is approaching Earth to check on it while Adeline is going through her notes*
01<@DS> <Isis> It looks like part of Earth and the moon took heavy damage
01<@DS> *the PAX stops; the defense system shredded and signs of the Cartel, Suisen, and Erusian fleets there to protect Earth*
<@Seraphna> Jaime> Too many sides at work in all this.
01<@DS> <Adeline> Tell Noire she needs to come up the bridge
<Jackieness> <Noire> *arrives on to the bridge after a bit* "Mmmmmmm?"
01<@DS> <Adeline> Also, it looks like the Mizukazes are already planning a meeting and want us to join when we have the chance
<@Seraphna> **Kaelan poofs off to
<@Seraphna> **Kaelan poofs off to the moon**
01<@DS> *Adeline turns* This has not been offically declared since Andrea is hard to be stopped, but she has been MIA since the battle with the queen
<@Seraphna> Jaime> Very well. It bothers me that we did not find Xevil out there.
01<@DS> <Adeline> She was last spotted right under it when all the ships open fired. I know she's been weaker lately
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...I see..."
<@Seraphna> Jaime> It should take more than that to break Andrea.
01<@DS> <Ren> We'll get a search party together after all this is over
01<@DS> *Ren heads for the teleporters*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...still...I have much work to do. She would not wish me to be distracted on her account."
01<@DS> *Azora studies Noire; the depressed Hybrid has driven the crew so mad that they all flee the PAX*
01<@DS> *down at Cheryl's, the group finds almost everyone there; Hotaru is MIA right now, but Taiga is there, sitting on crate and looking over the Striker as they arrive
<@Dias`> *Chad eyes the others arriving*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *glances at Azora* "Yes?"
01<@DS> <Azora> Nothing. It just - after all these years - I am learning something new
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...and what is that?"
01<@DS> <Azora> How caring you are for each other. I was so used to the slaughering after a while
01<@DS> *she takes a seat with Isis*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I may seem somewhat cold and aloof, but I do treasure my friends and family."
01<@DS> <Taiga> I take it you found some juicy information out there?
01<@DS> <Azora> The cold and aloof almost makes it seem you are like a progenitor
<@Dias`> *Chad eyes Noire a bit before looking at Taiga then the group* Seems it was fruitful. So please let us know.
<@Dias`> *Dias looks at Azora, sniffing in her direction*
01<@DS> <Isis> We found something but it was confusing
01<@DS> <Azora> Summing it up
01<@DS> <Azora> And correct me if I am wrong
01<@DS> <Azora> The rage in the Dark Ones was placed int them to make mindless beasts - they tried to cure it
<@Dias`> <Chad> Hmmm. That should track considering their history.
<@Dias`> <Chad> No sentient creature wouldn't try to keep themselves from devolving into a mindless creature.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Yes, that is what we found."
01<@DS> <Azora> We also located something akin to a broken piece of the dimension crystak - Centerpoint you called it - but at the same time despite there being data to pointing at eons worth of fightin since coming here there seems to be a mass hole of remembering that and only this reality
01<@DS> <Azora> I will have to look into it more
01<@DS> <Taiga> Alright. Chad and I have been discussing the two teams we need and how we want to approach the higher planes
<@Dias`> *Chad leans back* Hmmm. Considering what we learned about how our reality....branch was created, everything prior to that was fleshed out like it was fleshed out after the main novel was written.
<@Dias`> *Dias rubs his forehead already lost*
01<@DS> <Taiga> We believe this
01<@DS> <Taiga> We think High Chad has been doing his testing here - why and for what goals i cannot tell you. We think he might have his own hybrid
01<@DS> <Taiga> Chances being that it works unlike our broken emotional one
<@Dias`> <Chad> That's the current theory. I have some data I need to go over to figure out.
01<@DS> <Taiga> The problems being going into the reality will alert him most likely. So here is my plan. I want to take the fumoffu club members and anyone else interested and see if we can't locate Chad's little toys while the others see what they can do about High and Mighty Chad and find out what he's doing nd if hes a threat stop him
01<@DS> *Taiga eyes her notebook* We also need to locate Fae
01<@DS> <Taiga> Right now the ships that can make the jump are the PAX, Noire's ship, and the Striker. I wouldn't want to use the ship we did in the battle yesterday
01<@DS> <Taiga> Any questions?
<@Dias`> <Chad> My running theory is that he found out the Hybrid has the ability to control people on a mass scale. Based on what little we've learned of him and what I know of myself, it would track that is his ultimate goal.
01<@DS> <Ren> So we got the ultimate Progenitor/Dark One hybrid that might can control us
01<@DS> <Ren> And we're the ones taking it on? <Taiga> You rather deal with a Chad?
<@Dias`> <Chad> He's seen that the lower planes are a potential threat that can effect his plane. So he's potentially reaching out below him to make sure everything follows his plan.
<@Seraphna> Angela> Our worst nightmare. A Chad.
01<@DS> <Cheryl> How long before we depart?
01<@DS> <Taiga> I can go now but I Think people need some rest and to recover
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...ironically, it was his own actions that even made us aware of their existence."
01<@DS> *Taiga checks her time* I say tonight or early morning
<@Dias`> *Chad lets out a shallow breath* Your worst nightmare is a version of me that doesn't have restraint. One that wants to control everything for the greater good.
01<@DS> <Ren> So if we lose it's going to be one of those failures
01<@DS> *Ren thinks, getting a strange expression*
01<@DS> <Ren> I wonder if part of him has left any the clues to give us a chance, or what
<@Seraphna> Angela> Actually my worst nightmare is the Meth Gators gaining your intelligence. Making Chad Meth Gators.
01<@DS> *Cheryl eyes Angela*
01<@DS> *follow by two foxes eyeing*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...Angela...we've been through this... the meth gators are gone."
<@Seraphna> Angela> Okay, maybe it’s Cheryl being mad at me.
<@Dias`> <Chad> If he did, it's part of his plan. *He crosses his arms, closing his eyes* You all have to understand something. If this version of me has no restraints. This isn't going to be an easy fight to bring against him
<@Seraphna> Angela> Can your Council of Chads help?
<@Dias`> <Chad> Our best bet, is to strike a truce with him. *He opens his eyes looking at Angela* They're on his side and I do not get a long with them.
01<@DS> <Ren> Well, I know we'll get our part of the mission cleared and join you asap
01<@DS> <Taiga> But can we hve a truce with the hybrid alive
<@Dias`> <Chad> We would need leverage or a guarantee.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if he lost control of his high school science fair project."
01<@DS> <Taiga> Alright; I guess it'll come down to this
01<@DS> <Taiga> Try to capture and if that fails
<@Dias`> <Chad> I wouldn't release it unless I had a 100 percent chance of success or a fall back plan.
01<@DS> *Cheryl leans forward, then speaks softly*
01<@DS> <Cheryl> Keep in mind kids, each of us have a darkness in us *touches her heart*
01<@DS> <Cheryl> Some of us will always struggle with it, while others will rarely meet that part
01<@DS> <Cheryl> But those who know of that darkness, they will know this mission - depending on it might play out, some might not come back. So spend your free time with those you love, then get ready
<@Dias`> <Chad> So consider the thought that if he does have a Hybrid, it's perfected.
01<@DS> <Ren> Awesome. *rubs head* Well, if you have any information I'dlove to have it
<@Dias`> *Chad glances at Cheryl*
02* Quits: Jackieness (~Psy@23-127-47-99.lightspeed.knvltn.sbcglobal.net)
01<@DS> <Cheryl> I could use some reading too. It'll help get in chii's head and Angela's
01<@DS> *Chii pauses* <Chii> Wait
<@Dias`> *Chad sts there a moment then lets out another short breath* Id....Protocol Tower of Babel.
<@Dias`> <Id> Confirm Protocol.
<@Dias`> *Chad eyes Cheryl with a very annoyed look*
01<@DS> *Taiga looks between the two as Cheryl lifts Chad up* Lets get you some food
<@Dias`> <Chad> Is this you stopping me?
01<@DS> <Cheryl> This is me having -- I have no idea the time of day unch
<@Dias`> *Chad looks at the others* Ignore that. *He hangs there held by Cheryl*
01<@DS> *Taiga shakes head*
<@Dias`> <Chad> Not going to help me Taiga? My favorite Niece?
<@Dias`> *Chad quickly looks around for Evette to save him*
Session Time: Tue Nov 05 00:00:00 2024
01<@DS> *Evette puses at the shuttle bay doors*
<@Dias`> *Chad stares then slumps, becoming dead weight* Even my favorite grand daughter....
<@Dias`> <Chad> Now I know how you feel Cheryl.
01<@DS> *Cheryl snorts, grabs Evette to and brings them upstairs and puts on an apron to begin cooking*
01<@DS> *Taiga actually stares*
<@Dias`> *Chad eyes Cheryl with a very confused look as he sits on his chair*
<@Dias`> <Chad> Cheryl explain.
01<@DS> <Cheryl> I figured I'd cook you all some food. I'll call this Cheryl's anytime of the day food
01<@DS> *She seems to be making s.o.s*
<@Dias`> *Chad sighs with an annoyed look as he gets up* You can't cook. *He moves over to help her, a finger tapping in annoyance*
01<@DS> <Taiga> You really can't
01<@DS> <Cheryl> I have been practicing
01<@DS> *she reaches for salt and knocks pepper into it*
<@Dias`> <Cheryl> You've survived Taiga. *He grabs the pepper as it falls*
<@Dias`> *Chad*
01<@DS> <Taiga> Thankfully, Lore liked cooking
<@Dias`> *Chad nudges Cheryl* At least all my child and grand children know how to cook.
01<@DS> *Cheryl sets the s.o.s dwn* Huffs. Just eat it. It's good. I wanted a little family dinner
01<@DS> *Evette eats it* I guess his is simple enough
<@Dias`> *Chad starts eating*
<@Dias`> <Chad> So did you want me to not hand over my emergency plan?
01<@DS> <Cheryl> It might can be used against him, but it's something I'll likely keep locked away unless desperate. Something I do a lot these - partion off things in my memory
<@Dias`> <Chad> Than I'll keep it that way for now. Just know that all those that go up against him will not be prepared in those regards
01<@DS> *Cberyl peers out* If one is to win we might need to fight him unusually
01<@DS> <Cheryl> Like a drunk master confusing a fighter
<@Dias`> <Chad> Agreed. The few times I was beaten as Id was because of blind sights and emotianal connections.
01<@DS> <Cheryl> I'll talk to Zephyr. Even if that isnt a wild card her fire power might come in handy
<@Dias`> <Chad> But that's hoping he has ....*He subtly eyes Cheryl for but a brief moment* n't seperated everything.
01<@DS> <Cheryl> True
<@Dias`> <Chad> I'll divert to others thoughts on how to deal with me since my thoughts and plans can't be fully trusted.
01<@DS> <Taiga> We'll come up something. <Evette> Don't worry
<@Dias`> <Chad> Just realise that your worst fears might get broughten up. *He crosses his arms* My first thought is Aya and Evette and Fiona to make him pause but.....
01<@DS> <Taiga> You think it would?
<@Dias`> <Chad> They have always been my blind side. But This is also a me centuries ahead of us
