<DeathStar> 4
<Jackieness> There he is
<DeathStar> 3
<ChadWinters> Mic drop
<Seraphna> Oh there he is

<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-639.5.29 - same as last time
<DeathStar> Location: WATCH HQ
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon's team has managed to enter the WATCH building where the much more charming and cool fake President Dias is getting ordinary citizens to sign up and enter the program is believed to be being switched with shapeshifters. Using Necia's floor plans of the building, they have so far managed to get a little ways into the first floor of the building that has a second floor and a basement
<DeathStar> <Lemon> *eyes her datapad, while Darien taps his sabre against his exoskeleton leg in thought.*
<Seraphna> **Reese fixes some glasses on his face, Truth keeping an eye out**
<DeathStar> *Wyrd walks quietly behind the others, brushing her black hair out of her eyes as John muses, Chris having been left behind as a look out*
<Seraphna> **Tabetha walks with John, awareness out**
<DeathStar> *passing some doors with voices inside, which the floor plan states is likely offices, and reach elevators and stairs*
<Xanatos> 6* Cole keeps to the back of the group still, his only usefulness to go loud whenever something goes wrong.
* ChadWinters listens to the voices as he walks past them, keying in for anything odd
<DeathStar> <Lemon> This is where the floor plan begins to become useless. We either go up or down from here
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Dirty secrets are always in the basement.
<ChadWinters> Usually downstairs would be where you'd best hide these type of things.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> The basement level is large and has open areas from the looks of it
<DeathStar> <Lemon> So probably
<DeathStar> *Lemon moves to take the stairs, trailing down slowly, with John and Darien following, Darien making grumbling complaints at having to take the stairs. Wyrd floats down them*
* ChadWinters walks along with the group.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole hums to himself as he walks down the steps.
<Seraphna> **Tab, Reese and Truth follow**
<DeathStar> *as they move down to the basement area, the air begins to become more humid strangely and the walls seem to have to be a little wet*
<DeathStar> *Darien touches it curiously as they move along* <John> Going to get mold sooner or later
<Xanatos> <Cole> Gross.
<ChadWinters> Hmmm. This is way too much moisture for such a new building. Somethings definetly wrong.
<Seraphna> **Tabetha frowns** It is odd in what appears to be a well kept building.
<DeathStar> *there's a guard at the door, yawning and looking lazy*
<DeathStar> *Lemon studies them - the door seems to lead deeper into the basement*
<Seraphna> **Tabetha tried to make him fall asleep**
<Seraphna> *tries
<DeathStar> *by some sheer luck it works, and the man falls asleep*
<Seraphna> **Tabby grins**
<Xanatos> <Cole> Oooh. Nice one.
* ChadWinters moves up towards the door, eyeing it for any security devices
<DeathStar> *the man shifting into hybrid shift as Chad walks up beside him*
<DeathStar> *shape
<DeathStar> *Darien eyes the man, then Chad* I think it likes you
<Seraphna> **Tabby tilts her head**
* ChadWinters glances down at the man shifting then back towards the door. 1"Makes sense he'd be one."
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> Interesting since most of them are resist to telepathy. You must have gotten really lucky
<Seraphna> **Tabby nods** Seems so. Perhaps I can learn to overcome their block.
<DeathStar> *John positions the man into an amusing position*
<Xanatos> <Cole> Should I kill him? 6* He activates a katar
<Seraphna> Tabby> I was gonna tie him up.
<ChadWinters> He's a shapeshifter. How's tieing him up going to work?
<Seraphna> Tabby> Really really tight?
<DeathStar> *Lemon opens the door and inside is a strange room that looks like something out of the Dark One world almost but also something out of EarthGov tech blended, with people in these pods and Dark gooy chamberS*
<DeathStar> *the room having hundreds and hundreds of them*
<Seraphna> Reese> Talk about invasion of the pod people.
<DeathStar> *inside 4 of 5 Hybrids over look them as they use Dark One tech they recovered over the decades*
<ChadWinters> Seem's we hit the jackpot. And yes, I think it would be wise to kill him but that's only my opinion.
<DeathStar> *and are making more*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Well, might need to call in the big guns now.
<Seraphna> **Truth quietly does him in with her blade**
<DeathStar> *she refers to Zephyr outside*
<Xanatos> <Cole> I have a big gun. 6* He forms both of his miniguns, they begin to rotate.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Two!
<Seraphna> Reese> Imagine hundreds o’ replaced recruits comin’ out to talk to the media.
<DeathStar> <Darien> And if we go in shooting and that kills the people inside
<DeathStar> *he asks*
<DeathStar> <Darien> We haven't messed with Dark One technology in years
<ChadWinters> So you want to record and reveal to the rest of the world?
<Seraphna> Reese> Exactly, we might wanna do this subtle like.
<DeathStar> <Darien> And I don't have Billy on speed dial
<Seraphna> **Reese points to the glasses, a camera in them**
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Well either way we need to learn more. Lets go in and take those operators out
* ChadWinters switches his gun to lethal and slides in.
<Xanatos> <Cole> So I need to keep it melee? Protect the pod people?
<Seraphna> **Truth forms her armor while Tabetha forms her guns**
<Seraphna> Reese> Precise shots only if needed. Keep it clean.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Yes. If they get hurt, it'll be your ass. *she says, probably for Chad, showing her teeth like Cheryl*
<Xanatos> <Cole> I ha'int precise. 6* He activates his katars and moves in.
* ChadWinters glances back at Lemon, one could almost feel his eyes rolling at that even though they look forward
<DeathStar> *John cracks his knuckles and Darien activates his saber. John then dashes in and slides in for the one on the far left, going in for the surprise*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Fool man.
<Seraphna> **Tabetha reaches out with TK to lift and crush one with Goddess TK**
<Seraphna> **Truth rushes in for another**
<DeathStar> *Lemon seems to move in and takes another, doing some chii strikes with her palm and begins to hit in time with John's punches, the shapeshifters being hit and knocked about as Darien clods in slowly, his exoskeleton making noises as he goes to slash at one. By now alerted, they turn and grab Darien's arm and slam him*
<Xanatos> 6* Cole crackles with electricty and moves towards one at double speed, slashing out with his katars.
* ChadWinters trains his gun on a different one, firing three shots for the Hybrids head
<DeathStar> *the hybrids's head shifts and makes a hole, the shots going through it and hitting something behind it*
<DeathStar> *John is then thrown through the air as his shapeshifter shifts into a Ridiarum and throws him*
<Seraphna> **Reese aims low and fires for one's foot, just going for damage**
* ChadWinters pulls the shots around the moment they go through and bring them around and back and it, activating his main ability
<DeathStar> *and Lemon's turns into a giant snake to crush her*
<Seraphna> **Tabetha renews her TK and starts crushing the Ridarium insides**
<Seraphna> **Truth slices at the Snake with her Holy Blade**
<DeathStar> *the shapeshifter shifts again to again; so far only Tabetha and Cole seem to have hit their target well, due to their speed and TK
<DeathStar> *the other shapeshifters keep shifting and avoiding attacks*
<Seraphna> **Tabetha forms a blade inside the mass of one shapeshifter, hoping it damages itself in the process**
<Seraphna> **Truth
* ChadWinters brings the shots around once more and has them slam into each other the next time the Hybrid shifts to dodge them
<Seraphna> **Reese begins to exert the Bad Luck form of his Luck Power on the enemy**
<DeathStar> *Wyrd watches the battle, not attacking yet*
<Xanatos> 6* Cole keeps pressing the attack on his, doing more katar strikes.
<Seraphna> **Tabetha renews for a third crushing attack.**
<DeathStar> *Cole's enemy staggers back and begins to have trouble keeping it's form while the Ridiarum shapeshifter begins to reform into a normal shapeshifter, having trouble as well, both of them weak*
* ZI1` has joined #TAW-Session383
<DeathStar> *the snake shapeshifter lets Lemon go, unable to crush and avoid and reforms into a normal shapeshifter, turning back on Truth and goes for a strike on her, trying to knock her back with a hammer fist*
<Seraphna> **Truth brings up her blades to block and as she flies back, creates a font of Holy Power under the Snakeguy to blast upwards**
<DeathStar> *Chad's seems to be getting annoyed with playing with him and just turns into a hawk and flies over the shots and then lands near Chad*
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 206 seconds)
* ChadWinters takes a step back, eyeing it form infront of him
<DeathStar> *it forms a spike arm to stab at his heart*
<DeathStar> (chad)
<Xanatos> 6* Cole's right arms begins to spin repeatedly until it forms a drill and he goes in for the kill on his target.
<DeathStar> *Lemon and John attack Truth's shifter and the three manage to take out the first one with their combined strike. Wyrd peers at Chad and walks over, letting her death field affect the shapeshifter - and Chad. But hey, Chad is a worthwhile casuality*
* ChadWinters leaps sideways, throwing his right arm up infront of his heart area to atleast double block him
<DeathStar> *Cole takes his out*
<DeathStar> *with three of the shapeshifters down and Chad's playing with him, the final shapeshifter eyes the team and runs off*
<Seraphna> **Tabetha tries to seize it with TK**
* kalonZombie has joined #TAW-Session383
<Xanatos> 6* Cole watches him run and glances to Lemon.
<DeathStar> *Tabetha only barely trips him as it gets away*
<DeathStar> *The shapeshifter fighting Chad seems to be getting weak as it and Chad's HP is deplating with Wyrd standing there casually*
<Xanatos> 6* Cole teleports forward to block the one fleeing.
<DeathStar> *the shapeshifter forms two spiked arms to stab at Cole's chest*
<Seraphna> **Reese shifts in and turns on his beamsaber as he slashes, hoping it makes it harder for the one on Chad to dodge, at the same time, giving it bad luck**
* ChadWinters seem's to be focusing on dodging the shapeshifter, already aware that Wyrd's actively trying to kill him
<Xanatos> 6* Cole hurks and steps back, glancing down at the spikes and then uses an ability point to regain his lighting and begins to pulse electrcity through the spiked arms.
<DeathStar> *The shapeshifter in front of Cole falls over, twitching, while the shapeshifter falls over, it's spiked arm in Chad's arm as it dies*
<DeathStar> *slowly turning into goo*
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> ... *she steps away*
* ChadWinters grabs it and yanks it out, throwing it to the ground
* Stretch`cell has joined #TAW-Session383
<DeathStar> <Voice> Well so you were all the commotion
<Seraphna> **Reese peers around, Truth bringing her blades up as she nears Cole and his shifter**
<Xanatos> 6* Cole sparks and not from his ability, stepping forward and turning around to see the source of the voice.
<Seraphna> **Truth finishes off the twitcher because she knows these jerks like to sneak off during distractions**
<DeathStar> *stepping up are two women - Virulent the Weapon and Wyrd. Wait, isn't there a Wyrd right here*
* Sathen has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 206 seconds)
* ChadWinters pulls himself up off the ground, breathing heavy
<DeathStar> *Wyrd clenches her fist, showing some real emotion finally. Virulent looks like she feels a little guilt, seeing their condition and the people in pods, but remains behind Faux Wyrd*
<Seraphna> **Tabetha hrms** You realize we're standing in the center of the real evil going on here, don't you two?
<DeathStar> <Faux Wyrd> Do these people look hurt? They're just asleep right now.
<Seraphna> **Truth slowly looks up, a hand going to her stomach as she steps away from the dispatched shifter**
<DeathStar> <Faux Wyrd> Not like you people who just came right on in and killed the guards in here
<Seraphna> Tabetha> They are being held captive, against their will. Replaced after being lied to.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> By invaders who have usurped power from the people. Is that what heroes do?
<Xanatos> 6* Cole makes a mental note to get some sort of healing abilities in the future, he kneels down as he continues to spark, watching the two arrivals.
<DeathStar> <Faux Wyrd> *shrugs* They are helping by rooting out evil. But we can talk about evil all day long. You can say heroes blow up civilizations but soothe your heroic concience by saving one little girl from the race.
<DeathStar> <Faux Wyrd> While some of us want to play act at being heroes and others, well we just have an axe to grind
<ChadWinters> And I imagine you're one that has an axe to grind.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Instead we can talk about motives. You're referring to a race of conquerers who were defeated by those resisting them.
<ChadWinters> Because it seems that Virulent there, doesn't fully approve of all this.
<Seraphna> Truth> An axe to grind...?
<DeathStar> *Faux Wyrd eyes her* She'll do what she's told if she knows what's good for her. *she peers back*
<Seraphna> Truth> Like say... impregnating a woman under false pretenses and abandoning her...?
<ChadWinters> So she's nothing more than a tool to you.
<Seraphna> Truth> You... you're really a villain...?
<DeathStar> *Wyrd forms her scythe* It's okay. I never planned to let you walk out of here alive.
<ChadWinters> How heroic does that sound to you Virulent?
<DeathStar> <Faux Wyrd> Hm. That's the spirit I wanted. *she closes her eyes* Fine. If you want to join them, do so Virulent. Turn your back on your race.
<DeathStar> <Faux Wyrd> I won't stop you
<Seraphna> **Truth lets her aura out, swords glowing with light as Chad and Cole begin to regenerate their wounds**
<DeathStar> *Virulent pauses, then moves to the side, fighting for neither side*
<Seraphna> **Reese clucks and pulls out his rifle.**
<Seraphna> Reese> Seems tah me if you were really about yer race ya'll would find your own home instead of takin' from others.
* ChadWinters glances down at his arm.
<Seraphna> Reese> Yer just a selfish cunt.
<Seraphna> **Tabetha sighs and gets into her ready stance**
<Xanatos> 6* Cole lets out a 'breath' as the sparking subsides and he reactivates his katars.
<DeathStar> <Faux Wyrd> Funny you should say that. The one half of me came from the Dark Ones and you blew that world up
<DeathStar> <Faux Wyrd> The other half came from this world. So..
<DeathStar> <Faux Wyrd> *her eyes glow like Wyrd's* Why shouldn't I come here?
<Seraphna> Reese> And yer obviously talkin about the former and not the latter, so cut the shit. There ain't no reason to do this otherwise.
<DeathStar> *Wyrd lets her hair go white*
<DeathStar> <Faux Wyrd> Very well. *she motions* Come at me
<Seraphna> Reese> I don't really care what a bunch o' invaders who got their comeupance think after the fact they'd been punished for it. All I know is... odds are not in your favor lady. **he grins, then burns an ability point to restore his luck power**
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> I will cancel out her death range. Be ready
<DeathStar> *Wyrd sinks into the floor*
<Seraphna> **Truth nods, standing ready, eyes burning with tears**
<Seraphna> **Tabetha lets out a slow breath** <Johnny? You still concious?>
<DeathStar> <John> <Mmmhm> *John seems to be watching this play out, hands behind his head*
<DeathStar> *Wyrd then rises behind the fake Wyrd and grabs her from behind, the two fields countering each other*
* ChadWinters eye's go grey as he activates Tranquillo and focuses on the Faux Wyrd
<Seraphna> **Truth moves in, swords flaring, Reese aims and uses True Shot for it's first time, aiming to shoot her main weapon arm**
<Seraphna> **Tabetha seems to be awaiting something**
<Xanatos> 6* Cole restores his drill ability and begins to charge it up again. This time pouring the electricity energy into it(1 turn charge)
<DeathStar> *Darien charges his saber and moves in and slashes at the fake Wyrd, who is struggling to get free and slashes*
<DeathStar> *John charges his energy into his fist and moves in and punches into her gut, the impact hitting the other Wyrd a bit, breaking some bones*
<DeathStar> *the Faux Wyrd coughing up dark fluids due to the internal damage*
* ChadWinters fires the charged shots at Faux Wyrd, curving the bullets around the team and coming in from the sides to avoid hitting Wyrd and the others
<Seraphna> **Tabetha uses that moment to seize control of Faux Wyrd's weapon arm and tries to crush the bones there**
<DeathStar> <Faux Wyrd> Heh... *she winces at the shots hitting her, then finally has her scythe float and stab herself and the other Wyrd in the gut, taking them both and then has it twist, doing damage to them both and rip out, blood dripping as her weapon hand wavers uselessly, going white hair too. Wyrd stumbles back*
<Seraphna> **Truth seems to go for a slash but instead rolls past and touches Wyurd's back, using a Full Restore on her**
<Seraphna> Truth> We take her together, sis.
<DeathStar> *Lemon seems to be talking to someone when she moves in and does her palm thrust into Faux Wyrd, the scythe slashing Lemon's cheek and cutting it and cutting at her stomach*
<DeathStar> *the scythe floating and moving dangerously*
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> I will have her soul. *She nods*
<Seraphna> **Tabetha renews her TK and focuses on holding the weapon immobile**
<Xanatos> 6* Cole restores a teleport(4 ability left) and teleports appearing in the sky above faux wyrd. As he falls he thrusts the electric drill downward for f wyrd.
<DeathStar> *Faux WYrd is dtilled into the floor by Cole and vanishes*
<DeathStar> *at that moment the roof is destroyed in despite the alarms by Zephyr and Vesta, both landing*
<Xanatos> 6* Cole stands upright and glances around.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Did I get her?
<Seraphna> **Truth focuses, her warm light spreading on the ground**
* ChadWinters holds Ebony out, waiting for the right moment then his feet tense a bit as his eyes dart around for Faux Wyrd
<DeathStar> *Faux Wyrd crawls out, and coughs up blood, looking nearly on her last feet* You all have gotten much stronger
<Seraphna> Truth> Please surrender.
<Seraphna> Truth> You may have done what you did but you're still the child's mother. I give you one chance only.
<DeathStar> <Faux Wyrd> Heh. *she peers at Truth* You really do not understand much. Look at your "best friend" and tell me there is surrender. If I throw myself on your mercies.
<DeathStar> <Faux Wyrd> I will not be allowed to live. By your so called heroes.
<DeathStar> <Faux Wyrd> Better to go down my way.
<Seraphna> Truth> You all began this fight, to revenge on a generation already passing on. Please. This is stupidity.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole steps back since this is Truth and Wyrd's play.
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> *holds her scythe, waiting for Truth to talk her down - and to attack the fake Wyrd*
<DeathStar> <Faux Wyrd> ... *she peers at Virulent* Very well. I surrender. What will you do with me now. Keep me prisoner? For how long? Keep me away from the real Wyrd?
<Seraphna> * Truth looks at Wyrd*
<Seraphna> Truth> I know you want your vengance... but we can make her attone. Somehow.
<DeathStar> *Wyrd shakes her head* There is no attoning her.
<Seraphna> Truth> Please... sister. We learned that justice has it's own way before.
<Seraphna> Truth> If she tries to act against us again, you can have her.
* ChadWinters lowers his gun, his eyes shifting back to their normal color
<Seraphna> **Truth has that genuine look she always has in thinking there's a better way**
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> *looks angry* She rippped my identity out of my head. She took everything that is me and copied it. *her usually blank face enraged* So decide where you stand. Her or me. If you want to "fix" this creature, I will have no part of it
<DeathStar> *Wyrd moves off*
<Seraphna> **Truth looks between them, blinking** That's... that's what happens...?
<DeathStar> <Faux Wyrd> Better to have killed me in battle.
<Seraphna> Truth> Is that what you want?
<DeathStar> <Faux Wyrd> *shrugs* I know how you heroes opperate
<DeathStar> *operate
<Seraphna> Truth> What do you mean?
<DeathStar> <Faux Wyrd> You do what is easiest. *she points at Chad* Easiest. *points at Lemon* easist. *turns to Truth* And you will either kill me or let her because you want your friend to like/love you
<Seraphna> *Tabetha looks over at Virulent* <I don't know how this will turn out... but if you use your powers here, all these innocents could die... you won't, right?>
<DeathStar> <Faux Wyrd> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Faux Virulent> I just wanted to be a hero. Not take people. I will show you how to wake them if you want.
* ChadWinters glances at Wyrd when she points at him then focuses back on the machines with the people in it
<Seraphna> *Truth walks over to the Faux Wyrd and kneels**
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Show us. We likely got alarms going
<ChadWinters> We would appreciate the help, Virulent.
<DeathStar> *Virulent nods and has Cole come over*
<Seraphna> Truth> I can't control Wyrd, but I can make my own choices.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole walks over
<DeathStar> <Virulent> Can you overload this machine here...?
<Seraphna> Truth> I'll give you a choice.
<DeathStar> *she points at this half machine/half organic
<Xanatos> <Cole> Sure. This'll work?
<DeathStar> <Faux Virulent> I-I'm pretty sure?
<Seraphna> Truth> You will come with us, you will take responsibility for OUR child, and you will help us stop this madness. Or I leave you to Wyrd. You must give me your oath though.
<DeathStar> <Faux Wyrd> ... *she nods* Very well. I give my oath
<Xanatos> <Cole> ...pretty sure? I need more confidence.
<DeathStar> <Faux Virulent> *flusters* I-I'm confident!
<Seraphna> Truth> They will likely take precautions. You did betray us before... even though that was your mission. Do not disappoint me, for I am already going to disappoint the most important person in the world to me for you.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Cool. 6* He restores his electricity and uses it on the machine.
<DeathStar> *The Faux Wyrd muses, then has her looks change a bit, looking a bit more Dark Oneish* Understood.
<Seraphna> Truth> And only because I know if she does this, it will stain her.
<DeathStar> *the machine overloads and the pods begin to open up*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Alright, Vesta, Zephyr, Cole, lets start getting all these people out and holding the rest of the building's forces off as we evacuate them
<DeathStar> *she eyes the hole Zephyr and Vesta made*
<Xanatos> <Cole> Understood! 6* He smiles at Virulent.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Thanks.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Highway
<DeathStar> *X finally catches up to the armored vehicle, while Ren's vehicle begins to reach the bridge*
<Seraphna> *Angela, once in range, aims the decending Dakota down towards the armored vehicle, Dakota's targetting systems focusing on the car's engine block**
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "So... think Dias has rode on the hood of a car yet?"
<Seraphna> Angela> If not more than one. And made that annoying whooing noise.
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> Showtime.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus moves to the front of X's vehicle and tries to graps onto the armored vehicle with wolf claws.
<DeathStar> *Cherry leaps onto the armored car herself*
<DeathStar> *Ren speeds up trying to catch up*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "While punching at the air."
<DeathStar> *as Marcus leaps, he leaps into a ripple, appearing over the water*
<DeathStar> <X> What the hell?!
<Seraphna> **Dakota slams into the pavement in front of the vehicle and braces, punching an armored fist at the engine block**
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu 6* He falls.
<DeathStar> *a ripple appears after Dakota stops the armored car, cutting the arm off*
<Seraphna> Angela> Ripple is in that truck.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Look's like we got an X or a Ripple in there. 6He grins widely as he taps the roof of hte vehicle and points at Marcus
<Seraphna> **Dakota roars and leaps back, grabbing the arm as an impromptu club**
<DeathStar> *Cherry leans over and tendrils from Cherry grab Marcus and she strains to keep Marcus as X slams on breaks*
<DeathStar> *Cherry begins to pull Marcus up with her Dark One powers*
<Seraphna> **Angela forms her armor in the car and wrap an arm around Mi'Na** Ready to join the fun?
<DeathStar> *the armored car is damaged in places due to it until a dozenn ripples appear and cut Dakota up*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pulls to help(if that would).
<DeathStar> *the armored car now smoking and has holes*
<DeathStar> *Ren slams on breaks, catching up*
<DeathStar> <Ren> We're here
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Ruh roh! 6Tumbles off the roof and hood of X's car and onto the bridge
<Seraphna> **Angela makes an annoyed noise and hits her device again, this time targetting the body of the truck**
<DeathStar> *Cherry, with the help, gets MArcus back up*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "time to say hi."
<DeathStar> *X climbs out*
<Seraphna> **Angela leaps out with Mi'Na, then sets her down and forms her swords**
<DeathStar> <X> ... *she pulls out her ripple blades*
* ChadWinters hops on to his feet, cracking his neck from side to side. 1"Just like old times X.
<kalonZombie> 6*Mi'Na leaps out, then runs for the car, going to be using her fists
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Rabbit girl! SLOW DOWN!
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Thaaanks darlin. 6* He begins to shift his form, bones cracking as he fully shifts into the werewolf.
<DeathStar> *a ripple appears as Mi'na runs, catching her and has her falling from the sky*
<kalonZombie> 6*Mi'Na hangs back
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Looks like they have a ripple person in there."
<Seraphna> **The falling Montana shifts it's gears and catches Mi'Na as it turns in the air**
<Seraphna> Angela> I said so...
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> <Thank you hon>
<DeathStar> *X approaches slower and Ren hangs back. Finally, seeing the group is catching on, Ripple emerges*
<DeathStar> *Faux Ripple cracks his neck*
<DeathStar> <Faux Ripple> Looking for someone else?
<ChadWinters> <Dias> If only I had done my training with Fate. 6He sighs a bit as he eyes the car and then Fipple coming out. 1"Of course."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus growls and begins to circle faux ripple
<Seraphna> Angela> Hey Nipple.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> I get it! It's Not Ripple combined!
<DeathStar> <Faux Ripple> ... *her growls at them* RESPECT ME!!!
<DeathStar> <Faux Ripple> I am the feared Ripple!
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Ren, keep it steady. I'm going out." *climbs out the window and on to the roof of the car* "Eeeee.e.. this looked cooler in my head!"
<Seraphna> Angela> Haven't we beaten like, him and 4 of his clones before?
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Were's the fake me?"
<DeathStar> <Faux Ripple> I am going to--- *suddenly someone rams into the armored car and ripple, knocking it over the bridge*
* Ariel has joined #TAW-Session383
<DeathStar> *X pauses and watches the armored vehicle and Ripple fall over the bridge*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias winces a bit.
<Seraphna> Angela> That was anticlimactic. I give it a 4 out of 10 Nipples.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus looks confused
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Uhhh..." *walks over* "...was that supposed to happen?"
<DeathStar> *Ren peers as they watch Ripple fall over. Standing there is a blonde standing in smoke*
<DeathStar> *a sword in hand*
<DeathStar> <Cherry> Who the hell is that?
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Now you're just over killing it. 6He looks over at the blonde
<Seraphna> Angela> Umm... Ariel...?
* ZI1` has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 190 seconds)
<DeathStar> *Ariel looks up, bandages from the hospital on her head still. She seems to be looking blank still from all her injuries. At that moment a wet Faux Ripple reappears*
<DeathStar> <Faux Ripple> ... *he sputters, from the water and rage*
<Seraphna> Angela> Have a nice nap?
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus leaps for ripple, claws extended
<DeathStar> <Ariel> ... yes
<ChadWinters> 6Dias cracks the ground underneath him as he blurs in towards Ripple, appearing, throwing a punch for Ripple's gut
<Seraphna> Angela> Well good, you're rested up for the fight then.
<Seraphna> **Montana lands and sets Mi'Na down, putting Dakota into it's own subspace**
<DeathStar> *Faux Ripple ripples Marcus' claw for Dias' back, but is unable to stop DIas' attack, taking a gut punch and coughing up spittle.*
<DeathStar> *X leaps in and slashes a his back but is rippled away into a car*
<DeathStar> *Cherry leaps in and dark orb blasts his face and it connects*
<DeathStar> *Ariel slashes and is rippled away, spinning*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... ready, Reikana?
<Seraphna> **Angela's blades Shine with her Dragon Knight power and she moves in, slashing**
<ChadWinters> 6Dias grimaces slightly as the claw digs into his back, and he pushes his fist in harder, aiming to now throw him towards Angela
<DeathStar> *Angela's connects, forming a deep cut; it seems he's having trouble keeping up when they do combos*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Yes..." *shifts into Noire*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus whips around and begins running towards Nipple's back, leaping in a pounce again.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias moves in low following Marcus
<Seraphna> **Angela presses her attack, so that Marcus can get his strike in, using her second strike with the ability**
<DeathStar> *RIpple ripples Marcus and Dias, getting quicker, but then Angela's strike hits and he stumbles*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias looks around, quickly to try and assess where he's at
<Jackieness> <Noire> *then raises a hand and uses Dark Matter to try to slow down Ripple before he can recover*
<DeathStar> *X dashes in and does a ripple blade stike with Ariel, both being rippled; he seems to bne rippling them 10 feet away on the bridge*
<DeathStar> *Ren and Noire attack next and they connect after X and ARiel, the attack knocking him down*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus doesn't assest, just widly running until he recognizes Nipple again and dials back in on him.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias moves over to X's car and grabs the bumper ripping it off. 1"Marcus, FETCH! 6He twists throwing it towards Nipple's side
<Seraphna> **Angela strikes with her Dragoon Sword Omega strike next, the devastating version**
<DeathStar> *Ripple ripples the bumper toward Angela*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus leaps for ripple as he's distracted by the bumped, slashing out again.
<Seraphna> **Angela ducks and rolls away, holding the charge on her sword, which vibrates from the effort**
<DeathStar> *Ariel slashes at Ripple, making him grab it with his hands and form his 1000 ripples all around him, cutting people as Marcus strikes him. Ariel then does her holy strike in Ripple's face*
<DeathStar> *Ripple stumbles, blinded*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias holds still, eyeing the area around him for the shifting Ripples
<Seraphna> **Angela leaps forward and stries with the Omega Slash again**
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus slides along the ground and goes to leap back in but pauses and waits, wanting to set Dias up for a good strike.
<DeathStar> <Ren> *Ren forms a duplicate and has it run with her, while X does her holy arrow strike, making Ripple use a ripple to try to take them when Angela hits him. Both Rens punch him, knocking a tooth that turns to goo once away from body*
<DeathStar> <Ripple> ... *he begins to wobble away, formin a ripple far away* ...
<Jackieness> <Noire> "How about something... new!" *raises both hands and bombards Not-Ripple with mini-foxholes*
<DeathStar> <Ripple> .... What the hell...
<ChadWinters> 6Dias nods then moves in low towards Ripple, keeping an eye ahead of him for incoming ripples
<DeathStar> *he begins to get cut up*
<Seraphna> **Angela fires a Holy Blast at him**
<DeathStar> *Ripple is hit by the holy blast into the mini foxholes even more*
<Seraphna> **Montana finally makes a move, aiming at the escape ripple itself and firing a beam at it**
<DeathStar> *Ripple eyes the beam hit it and finally RIpple grabs at Dias, grappling and pulls out a fake ripple blade to stab at him*
<DeathStar> <Faux Ripple> Just die. DIE DIE DIE
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus moves around to and quickly attempts to drop kick out for Ripple's back.
<DeathStar> <Faux Ripple> I am the greatest
<DeathStar> <X> I think we broke him
<Seraphna> **Angela comes in, her blade powers spent she slashes normally, trying to parry his blade**
<ChadWinters> 6Dias twists, Dark Energy crackling along his fist as he punches to the side of the ripple blade
<DeathStar> *Ripple is drop kicked and loses the weapon. AT this point thanks to the damage, he seems to ebn having trouble maintaining his form and falls to the side*
<DeathStar> <faux Ripple> ... urk.... *she crawls away*
<DeathStar> *trying to make a mini ripple*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias reaches to grabv Ripple's leg and stop her.
<DeathStar> <X> *eyes Ripple with disgust*
<Seraphna> **Montana fires at this escape ripple too, seems to be set to thwart ripples now**
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Now now, you lost fair and square. No need to run.
<DeathStar> <X> Just go away. <Faux Ripple> ... *he eyes the blast and the leg melts away in Dias' grasp as the body seems to be falling apart*
<Seraphna> Angela> I think we have to destroy the goo, or bottle it up.
<DeathStar> <Faux Ripple> ... see you ... in .... *he dissolves*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias shakes his hand rapidly then wipes the ground with it. 1"You fought well thought, Fake Ripple. This is a fight I won't forget.
<Seraphna> Angela> Oh that works.
<DeathStar> *Ariel cleans her sword*
<Seraphna> Angela> So... good to have you back Ari.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well shame by doing this fight we lost the teleporter lead
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I think he's dead."
<Seraphna> Angela> Not so sure, they don't know we know the signature now. In fact, they KNOW we fell for the ruse.
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> Good.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Quite right, Ren. The real fake Dias used a teleporter to get to the real car."
<ChadWinters> <Dias> What a coward!
<Stretch`cell> *Damian huffs up gasping for breath at the end of the bridge* So...fast...for a...coma...patient...
<DeathStar> <Ren> We never did learn how great-grandmother got into a coma, did we?
<Seraphna> **Angela giggles** Just imagine what she's like when she trains again.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus slowly shifts back to his normal form.
<Seraphna> **Angela gives Ariel a warm hug**
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Well we know where he's heading. We can try and get a head of him and stop him before he get's to his next talk show thing
<DeathStar> *Ariel awkwardly returns the hug*
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> Hi Ariel.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah Dias is right, we need to move now if possible.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias looks over at Ariel. 1"Oh hey, Ariel's here. How was your nap?"
<DeathStar> <X> And if he doesn't show? And if this was just a trap?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "This if un, darlings, but we should move along before they send the army after us now."
<Jackieness> un == fun
<ChadWinters> 6Dias looks at X. 1"Well if this was a trap, it was a pretty bad one.
<DeathStar> *Ren tries to recall when Ariel entered the coma and how
<DeathStar> <X> Maybe. We still don't know if the others succeeded
<DeathStar> <Ren> The next talking thing is in 2 days
<ChadWinters> <Dias> True, but atleast we have one less Ripple user to contend with. Think of how bad it would be if he and you're double teamed up.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I can call it in as we move, let Warren or Lemon decide.
<DeathStar> <Ren> So we have time
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Ripples for as far as the eye could see. 6He motions his hand outwards
<Xanatos> <Marcus> 2 days? Hell we could probably go back to base.
<Seraphna> Angela> For now, we should get the hell out of here before the authorities arrive.
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> Agreed.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I said that already.'
<Seraphna> **Angela moves Montana over** Angela Airlines is open for business.
<DeathStar> *X moves to her car and gets in, turing it into shuttle mode*
<Seraphna> Angela> I was agreeing with you Noire.
<Stretch`cell> *Damian moves towards Ariel and the others* Time to treat injuries and give a check up at least...
<Seraphna> Angela> Oh, our shuttle SURVIVED a mission?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Oh, Angela, you did listen to me! We should hang out now!"
<DeathStar> <Ariel> ... *eyes Damian*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> It's a dope shuttle car hybrid. 6* He moves to get in.
<Seraphna> Angela> Today is just full of surprises. **she shrugs and sets Montana on a stealth return**
<ChadWinters> 6Dias pats Marcus head and moves to the shuttle. 1"Just like old times, X!"
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> Wow, surprising. 6*She moves in, pulling Angela next to her
<Jackieness> <Noire> *sashays to their ride and climbs in*
<DeathStar> <X> I had to steal this thing back
<Seraphna> Angela> It's gonna take a while to fix poor Dakota.
<DeathStar> <X> I'm not going to let it get hurt
<Seraphna> **Angela sniffles and salutes** Our brave sacrifice.
<Seraphna> Angela> You took one for shuttles everywhere buddy.
<DeathStar> *X flies them off once they are all on, peering at Dias* Yeah. Like old times
<DeathStar> *she peers out*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Marcus' Folly
<DeathStar> 6* Warren has Faux Spirit and Virulent watching Faux Wyrd, even though she technically does not look 100% like Wyrd anymore
<DeathStar> <Warren> Not bad, with 3 shapeshifters maybe we can learn more about their plans
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Wow, you guys did amazing!
<Seraphna> **Truth sits wondering how things will go from here, knowing she definately took the hard choice**
<Seraphna> **Reese grins** So... how're we getting that footage out there?
<DeathStar> *X seems to be lost in thought, too* The Ninth Circle won't let us keep chipping away at their shifters
<DeathStar> <Warren> I say we should time when we release it
<DeathStar> <Warren> But I'll think of something. Probably try to release it on the HoloNet and flood it
<ChadWinters> No they won't. 6He adjusts the bandage around his right arm.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> True... we should expect our next strike to meet heavy resistance.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Honestly, the Ninth Circle probably have a bioweapon stashed somewhere to kill off the shifters."
<Xanatos> <Kane> I could write a script to help distrubute the release of the video.
<DeathStar> <Darien> We need to figure out who the top head of the Ninth Circle. *she eyes the Senator who was with President Dias*
<Seraphna> Angela> Hopefully sooner rather than later, those HQs are going to start popping up everywhere and people need to know.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Seems like you already have a theory. 6He tells Darien
<Seraphna> Angela> Invasion by replacement... guess we should have assumed.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well we know Senator Harrison was working with the fake Dias
<ChadWinters> You think it might be that senator, Darien?
<DeathStar> <Darien> If he's not the top person he's close
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Is that our next target?
<DeathStar> <Darien> One of us should probably lead a team to look into him while you all plan grab ass with Dias
<DeathStar> <Darien> Try to deal with both problems at once. The Ninth Circle might fade away if you close the other problem
<ChadWinters> That's a fair guess. Since they have a tenuous relationship, it' would be best to have them close to each other
<Xanatos> <Cole> I swore off grab ass. I'll go get the senator.
<DeathStar> <X> I want the Senator
<DeathStar> *she speaks up*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Don't I get a say in who grabs my ass? I'm not just a piece of meat
<DeathStar> <X> I'll help lead that team
<Seraphna> Angela> Dias will want to get his fake, which means Marcus will want to. Which means Cherry will follow. So we know where I'm going.
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> And therefore also me.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole smirks and nudges X with a nod.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> See Marcus, she just wants to be cool like us.
<ChadWinters> I'll stick with the Senator team.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Team Marcus, you'll never split us up!
<Seraphna> *Angela huffs* I'm there for my sister and MAYBE Marcus.
<DeathStar> *Lemon nods* Well, then - in 2 days time we know what we'll be doing.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Someone's gotta crush on Marcus!
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Lets close this Circle for good.
<DeathStar> -END-
<Seraphna> Angela> Yes, someon does. **she wraps an arm around Cherry*
<DeathStar> *Cherry elbows Angela*
<DeathStar> <Cherry> Lies!
<Seraphna> **Angela snickers.** Oh? **she leans in close and whispers** You sure? Or did I steal your heart?
<DeathStar> *Cherry hangs Angela over to Marcus* You can take her
<ChadWinters> <Dias> There's nothing stronger than the desires of the heart. 6He nods approvingly to the two
<Seraphna> **Angela pouts at Cherry**
<Seraphna> **Angela looks over to Zephyr** We're having a sister night tonight.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh?
<Seraphna> **Angela nods** Yep. Cherry's only had one proper and we haven't held one since Cheryl left.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hm. *she eyes the base* Yeah. One in this place. Alright then
* Ariel has quit IRC (Quit: Zzzz...)
<Seraphna> Angela> I've got Montana clearing out a space, need to fix Dakota anyway.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> I think I saw pillows for fighting a level below.
