<DeathStar> Date: 10-642.2.22
<DeathStar> Location: Deep Space
<DeathStar> *Cookie comes to on an asteroid, hurting all over*
<Seraphna> **Cookie Rubs her head, glad she’s made to survive in vacuum**
<DeathStar> *there is pieces of debris floating all over around her - some of it looks like it might be the Aquarius, other debris looks like it is Tsivrixsh ships and even Dark One ships*
<Seraphna> **Cookie frowns, feeling out for both minds and her pilot**
<DeathStar> *there feels like there might be other minds about. But also enemy minds. As she does so, a Dark One ship tendril moves near Cookie, twitching in space*
<Seraphna> **Cookie shifts and rolls her weight along the asteroid to avoid it, she works on filtering the mental voices, then focuses her energy to try and achieve her mech form**
<DeathStar> *As Cookie manages to do that, a spidery ship launches at Cookie, grappling her in space, flinging her against what appears to be a piece of the hull of the Aquarius*
<Seraphna> **Cookie forms a large Gun in her mech hand and fires into the tendril**
<DeathStar> *the Dark One ship beginning to try to pierce her*
<DeathStar> *when Cookie blasts it back*
<Seraphna> Cookie> <Always something... need to find the others...>
<DeathStar> *it pauses then begins to try to multi-pierce her when Yuki rises up in and stabs the ship, unable to do her mech form without Erica; she lodges the sword in the sword, floating in space*
<Seraphna> **Cookie flies over and around and scoops her up, opening her cockpit to put Yuki inside for now** <Since I haven’t found Pepper yet.>
<DeathStar> *Cookie barely gets her in before the ship stabs her. Yuki holds her arm, wincing* That was close
<Seraphna> **Cookie nods and forms her second gun, then blasts a torrent of shots at the ship**
* Chaintan has joined #TAW-Session500
<DeathStar> *the dark One ship is repelled back for the time being and Yuki points ahead* Lets go that way
<Seraphna> **Cookie follows her trajectory** <Sure. I feel other minds still.>
<DeathStar> *they find the Aquarius, or what is left of it. The ship has taken major damage, with holes in it in various places and is floating in space, sparking; due to how well it was built, it wasn't completely destroyed. The bridge looks like it took the most damage however* <Yuki> Lets hope they moved to the secondary bridge
<Seraphna> **Cookie nods and scans for them**
<DeathStar> *the ship has dropped in life signs but there seems to be life signs indeed in the secondary bridge. Cookie is able to enter the Aquarius in one of the many holes*
<Seraphna> **Cookie goes in and warms Yuki before shifting back so they can move better inside**
<DeathStar> *Yuki hops out and as they walk through the hallways, they find power is barely on and shutters down to keep people from being sucked out into space.*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I guess the Dark Ones were afraid of the Aquarius
<DeathStar> *she looks grim*
<Seraphna> **Cookie nods with a deepy frown** I don't think this can be repaired...
<DeathStar> <Yuki> .... .... *she makes a non-commital noise; only Tora could answer that*
<DeathStar> *as they reach the bridge, they'd find Pepper there*
<DeathStar> *and a few of the other crew.*
<Seraphna> **Cookie moves along with her, keeping guns out in case they got any boarders, she blinks and rushes over to hug Pepper**
<DeathStar> *Yuki takes a seat and makes sure Yurica and Erica are safe*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Okay, lets take stock on casualities and then see if we can get this thing to move.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-642.2.23
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> Song 11: PAX
<DeathStar> *early into the next day, the PAX has moved locations and joined with the Iron Paw. The Empress has gotten the ship's population moved over to the PAX and gotten the Iron Paw armed up*
<Seraphna> Ulieah> So many weapons!
<DeathStar> *Erevis has her arms crossed as she watches the civilians move over to the PAX from the Iron Paw*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are we really going to send the Iron Paw to Gitari?
<Alicia> * Jikuu sighs, simultaneously not liking it but feeling it necessary
<Seraphna> Thena> Someone has to save the cute bunnies... and we still don't know for positive if the Aquarius will ever be fully found or come back...
<DeathStar> *Tsukiyomi is already there, the moon goddess prepared to go; she quietly is observing the sister ship to the PAX*
<Seraphna> Ulieah> We'll win, or else be back for a newer, better Iron Paw.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... *Deadpans slightly at Ulieah*
<Seraphna> **Ulieah nods**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *joins the others* "Well, well... going for the direct approach, I see... not that you have many other options."
<DeathStar> <Empress> We have a lot of ships and forces throughout the galaxy in other lines to keep the Dark Ones from advancing too far. We cannot commit too many forces.
<DeathStar> <Empress> Without opening holes.
<DeathStar> *Andrea joins Noire quietly*
<Seraphna> Ulieah> Iron Paw is now in Iron Claw mode! I'm sure Gem is enjoying all the shiny new systems. **she smiles** We'll save all the bunnies we can.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So. *She takes ahold of Jikuu* Who all is going to join the Iron Paw?
<Seraphna> **Angela steps up** Kinda obligated seeing as it's the homeworld of a good number of my family now.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *glances over at Andrea* "What do you think, mother?"
<DeathStar> *Erevis bows to Angela* Be safe then*
<Seraphna> Angela> The Epsilon is still unready and understocked, but I've got three Betas to add to any fight.
<DeathStar> *Andrea muses* I am curious as to the advantage of picking the Gitari out of all the Suisen worlds.
<Seraphna> Thena> Breeding.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "They breed."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Right right. Sure.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> So they're creating lotus
<Seraphna> Thena> Gitari have a 3 month gestation cycle and a prediliction towards fertility.
<Chaintan> 6*A warm presence floats beside Erevis
<DeathStar> *Erevis glances to her side* Hello, love.
<Chaintan> <Ama> my darling, Pray, allow me to assist my sister?
<Seraphna> Angela> A few gods on our side won't hurt our chances of at least getting most of the population onto the Paw.
<DeathStar> *Erevis pauses, then nods* Very well. You and Xanatos both keep volunteering for these dangerous missions
<Jackieness> <Noire> "You sound unconvinced, mother."
<DeathStar> *Tsukiyomi smiles at Ama, taking her hand*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I mean, I just can't see the value of making a few monster rabbits other than making a bunch of canon fodder
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I think that's it."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Think its a feint, mother?"
<Chaintan> <Ama> I know, but they are my friends and I cannot bare seeing my sister's heart break again if I can help it
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Perhaps.
<Chaintan> 6*Ama gives a gentle squeeze to her twin
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Either that, or a 'rush'."
<Seraphna> Angela> Didn't they massively get an advantage over us by raising our dead? They seem addicted to horde tactics.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I guess they don't have the quality, so they have to rely on quantity."
<DeathStar> *Erevis looks at everyone, then nods* I suppose a few of us need to remain on the PAX and oversee things. *she glances at Kyouki* What do you think?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "My mother is certainly suspicious..."
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena must monitor, true Thena busy in my place on Geyze kicking Gartareh butt.
<DeathStar> *Tsukiyomi looks relaxed, having been high strung lately* I don't care if it is a trap or not; they wish to destroy my love's homeworld
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Overseeing or defence, we can't all go."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will join Ama. You all will need someone who can use a little bit of hyperspace.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Then I'll go too."
<Chaintan> 6*Amaterasu presses a chaste peck to her sister's cheek1 ,Ama> we will do what we can my moon, but if the time comes, you know what we must muster our energy for.
<Alicia> * Jikuu seems a little surprised, but says nothing
<DeathStar> *Tsuki nods* Yes. You are right, of course
<DeathStar> *Erevis wags at finger Jikuu* You will remain here and obey my other self.
<DeathStar> *a
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I was intending to."
<DeathStar> *Erevis leads the group going to Gitari onto the Iron Paw*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I think I heard this joke before. A Progenitor, a Dark One, and a God went into a bar.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "What, praytell, is the punchline, mother?"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I believe it ends with which one of them betrays the other
<DeathStar> *Tsukiyomi adjusts her robes and find a place to sit on the bridge of the Iron Paw*
<Alicia> * Jikuu watches Andrea closely there
<Seraphna> **Ulieah takes up her spot by Imugem**
<Seraphna> **Angela finds a place to observe**
<DeathStar> *The Empress, for her part, leads the PAX crew away; the PAX soon drifts away*
<DeathStar> *Cheryl rushes and joins the Iron Paw at the last moment, panting*
<Chaintan> 6*Ama mirrors her twin in sitting position
<Seraphna> **Angela smiles** You made it.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *crosses ehr arms* "Mmmm... Dakr One eats the god and the new Dakr Goddess destroys the Progenitor and takes their stuff."
<DeathStar> *Cheryl adjusts her hat and takes a seat*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I was busy talking to Taiga. She's still in her lab looking for that thing
<Seraphna> Angela> Yeah, I checked her this morning with Si away helping on Geyze.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "What thing?"
<DeathStar> <Imugem> Thing? *she pilots the Iron Paw away from the PAX and inputs the location, jumping the ship into hyperspace*
<Seraphna> Angela> A version of the PAX that wasn't discovered so we can use it.
<DeathStar> <Imugem> ... huh?
<DeathStar> <Andrea> That sounds overly complicated
<Seraphna> Angela> Reality mumbo juumbo.
<DeathStar> *Erevis looks sheepish, refusing to meet Ama and Kyouki's gazes*
<DeathStar> *probably knowing what Taiga is doing*
<Seraphna> Angela> Sort of, but it's achieving some side benefits.
<Seraphna> Angela> We're inadvertently getting intel on possibilities and projections, which helps coordinate our actions. Basically it's like learning from someone else's mistakes.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Don't do what they did?"
<Seraphna> Angela> Pretty much, or do what they did if they do something better.
<Seraphna> Angela> It's not perfect, but any projection is insight we didn't have before.
<DeathStar> *Tsukiyomi listens, tilting her head*
<DeathStar> *on the Iron Paw, Imugem has a counter that they are nearing the Rabbit Planet*
<DeathStar> Song 12: Gitari
<Seraphna> Angela> If the seeding has already set, priority is to evacuate the buns.
<Chaintan> <Ama> let us pray it hasnt already come to that....
<DeathStar> *as the Iron Paw exits, they find Dark One ships all over and a seed ship of sorts seeding it, dropping seeds on the planet; more than one which is unusual. The Dark One vessels are protecting the seed ship*
<DeathStar> <Tsukiyomi> *trembles with anger*
<Seraphna> Angela> They're really rushing this one...
<DeathStar> <Imugem> I guess they hate the rabbits
<Alicia> <Michiru> "...yeah, they're serious."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Can we teleport down and stop the seeds? I know some of you have fone it
<Seraphna> **Ulieah starts setting up teleporters**
<DeathStar> <Andrea> It is possible but with that many...
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Remember, keep your distance from the seeds themselves."
<Seraphna> Ulieah> Setting one to go down to the nearest seeding area, and the rest to recieve noncontaminated refugees.
<DeathStar> Song 13: Battle for Gitari
<Chaintan> 6*Ama squeezes Tsuki's hand
<DeathStar> *Cheryl nods* Alright, lets get to the rabbits
<Chaintan> <Ama> I fear we will already have to go with our plan
<DeathStar> <Tsukiyomi> ... *nods*
<DeathStar> *Erevis moves to head down and Andrea warps with dark energy to the planet*
<Seraphna> Angela> Alright, let's stay frosty. Ulieah, contact us when we need to get back.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... but how many cna you accomodate, even on a ship like the Iron Paw?"
<Seraphna> **Angela moves with Cheryl to head down**
<DeathStar> <Imugem> A good number
<Alicia> <Michiru> "A lot."
<DeathStar> <Imugem> We are the PAX's sister ship
<Seraphna> Ulieah> We can probably take the lot. What survives. Hurry.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "But an entire planet's worth of the most... fertile sentient species in the galaxy?"
<DeathStar> <Imugem> Not an entire planet's worth no
<DeathStar> *she admits*
<Seraphna> Ulieah> Realistically though that many will not make it without a miracle.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Lets save as many as we can, and worry about how many that is later."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Then we should deal with these seeds."
<DeathStar> *the Dark One Ships have already begun to move in*
<DeathStar> <Imugem> I think they don't want us here, Ulieah
<Seraphna> **Three Betas launch from the Iron Paw, these ones loaded for bear for space combat and take their full Mech forms once made to fight in the Ridarium Wars**
<Seraphna> Angela> **on comms** You have support.
<DeathStar> *anyway, on the ground*
<DeathStar> *the ground forces arrive and find rabbits running about all over the place as the seeds begin to corrupt the ground, quickly turning Gitari into massive corruptive area, turning the land into something horrific. Any Gitari touched turns into something unnatural and dark*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> ... *eyes the multitude of seeds in the area, speeding up the process*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... *Begins to direct the Gitari to the teleporters to the Iron Paw*
<Seraphna> **Angela does the same while taking out turned creatures that might try to stop the fleeing buns**
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Holy. *adjusts her hat* So that is a seed?
<Seraphna> Angela> Yep... and three times as worse with multiple ones hitting the ground.
<DeathStar> *Angela indeed protects the Gitari*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Hm. *she begins to touch the area and absorb the corruption to help slow it*
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Any way I can help, or do I just stop the corrupted?"
<Chaintan> 6*Ama heads down to sweep for any who might be trapped and unable to get to the teleporters
<DeathStar> *Tsukiyomi joins and begins to use her abilities to try to fire at corruptive areas to slow it down*
<Seraphna> Angela> We stop the corrupted, and when they get too close we need to destroy the PAX teleportation systems.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, I just stay stop the corruptive rabbis
<DeathStar> *as she says that, three corruptive rabbits leap at the group*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *reaches out and also tries to absorb the seed infestation*
<Alicia> * Kyouki likewise attempts to slow the corruption, while Hotaru deals with the corrupted
* kalonZombie has joined #TAW-Session500
<Seraphna> **Angela shifts and swing her holy blade in an arc sending out a blast of Holy Energy**
<DeathStar> Song 14: Dark Ones
<Alicia> * Michiru helps run rescue missions while those two do so
<DeathStar> *As Gitari begins to turn more and more corruptive, the landscape turning into a blackened hellscape, the Gitari that haven't been touched by it move into the teleporters. The ones that have been touched move for Angela, many retraining their training and attack Angela and try to touch her with said corruption. Tsukiyomi points and aims her abilities at them to help*
<DeathStar> *Noire meanwhile would suddenly find herself attacked from behind by something into the corruption - in a bad way as it tries to overwhelm her*
<Seraphna> **Angela throws up a wall of Holy Energy to shield herself and shifts defensively, blasting and slashing while keeping herself from getting touched**
<Alicia> * Kyouki shifts her focus towards bolstering Noire's mind
<DeathStar> *Andrea is suddenly hit as well and thrown*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We got problems. Our Dark Ones are being attacked
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Nnnn... soemthing is coming for me!"
<DeathStar> *Erevis turns to look about*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...this is an elaborate... trap!"
<DeathStar> *Andrea sits up, shaking off the gunk on her*
<Seraphna> Angela> Something's more involved in this seeding than usual I guess. **she slices through the latest attacker and grunts**
<DeathStar> *something moves to attack Angela from behind, moving for Ama*
<DeathStar> <Tsukiyomi> Ama. Becareful.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They clearly do not want us to let the Gitari escape
<Seraphna> **Angela spins forming a second sword and stabs, her other moving in an arc to keep more from attacking**
<Chaintan> 6*At her sister's call, Ama rapidly begins to glow bright and hot to repell anything that might try and latch on
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Something's odd about that."
<DeathStar> *Ama's attack reveals one of the Dark One Generals, one of the mystic twins*
<Seraphna> Angela> Ah, it's one of the brats.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "ah... finally!"
<DeathStar> *they land on the ground and cough*
<DeathStar> Song 15: Battle
<Chaintan> <Ama> the utter gall you have!
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "You've got some gall going against us."
<Seraphna> Angela> Yeah... you picked the wrong planet to fuck with for this one.
<DeathStar> *She stands up and sneers at Ama, gathering dark energy from the converted Gitari and aims it at Ama and Kyouki. The other one keeps sneaking and stabs at Noire*
<DeathStar> <Tsukiyomi> *she joins Ama quietly*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *forms her Dark Edge and turns to tryn to deflect the stab at the last moment*
<DeathStar> *Noire reveals the other twin, who lands on their back. They dance back*
<Alicia> * Kyouki tries to block the energy with her own. "Do you even know who you're dealing with?"
<DeathStar> <Tsukiyomi> Twins. Ironic.
<Seraphna> **Angela takes a slow breath and the swords in her hands suddenly burst with stronger holy energy mixed with the pure blue of her Dragoon energy** Let's do this.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *holds the Dark Edge level and approaches the twin that tried to stab her*
<DeathStar> <Female Twin> We could care less. This planet is a touchstone for you.
<Seraphna> Angela> And a gravestone for you.
<DeathStar> *the other twin circles Noire, forming energy and attacks Noire spirit like energy to blast at her from a distance*
<DeathStar> *The female begins to chant and the ground begins to reform*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves to try to evade the blasts*
<DeathStar> *Ama begins to use her power to brighten the area to help show the twins so they can no longer hide*
<Seraphna> **Angela leaps up high into the air and aims her sword, grunting instead of announcing her attack ass she unleashes the Dragoon Omega Blade blast down at the female**
<Alicia> * Hotaru moves back to join the fight with the big two, while Kyouki launches dark energy blasts at the twin who attacked her
<DeathStar> *Noire manages to do so, skidding on the corrupted ground that has spread throughout the area. Those touching it begin to feel the corruption slowly rising up their bodies. Andrea jerks and touches the ground to help protect the team*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *forms hyperspace and begins to launch it at the twins, occassionally tagging*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *holds her blade to her side and then dashes toward the male twin*
<Seraphna> **Angela uses the force of her blast to stay aloft a moment, twisting to fire a second lesser blast at the other twin**
<DeathStar> *Hotaru, Kyouki, and Angela hit the female twin and she flips and lands on the ground. The male eyes turns and glares*
<DeathStar> *Tsukiyomi uses the sun power to reflect attacks on the female and she begins to rise, shakily, chanting; the corruption rises up and encases herself from further attacks*
<Seraphna> *Angela aims to land by Cheryl, placing a holy shield on the ground below them**
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well that
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well that's cheap
<Seraphna> Angela> Want to play dirty dear?
<DeathStar> *the male twin points at Noire and rabbits leap at her*
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "I'm not going to say it's wrong to either."
<Jackieness> <Noire> *lashes her tendrils out to try to snag and toss the rabbits out of the way*
<DeathStar> *Noire manages to send the Dark Rabbits flying*
<DeathStar> *as the male twin dashes in and attacks with a knife*
<Seraphna> **Angela sends a Holy Slash his way**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *raises the Dark Edge to try to deflect the male twin's attack*
<Alicia> * Hotaru moves to strike at the male twin as he's distracted with Noire and Angela
<DeathStar> *the twin is hit and he stumbles as he is deflected, then struck by Hotaru; he falls over*
<DeathStar> *meanwhile the female finishes her spell and the area begins to shake; the corruption has triples*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> .... we cna't touch the ground much longer....
<DeathStar> *even it's climbing her*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *raises her Dark Edge and then goes for a killing blow on the downed twin*
<DeathStar> *Noire takes the male out*
<Seraphna> **Angela forms as mech with Cheryl and takes into the air**
<DeathStar> <Tsukiyomi> ... *touches Ama and the two float up*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... We need to get the remaining Gitari off this planet as fast as we can
<DeathStar> *the corruption is covering the teleporters*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well that's not good
<Seraphna> ULieah> Send them all to the last location I'm pinging, we're blowing the teleporters, the rest will be beamed up.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... that was it!"
<Jackieness> <Noire> *snarls and uses her tendrils to lift the male twin up for his sister to see* "Come to me!"
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "THey were after the teleporters!"
<DeathStar> *the female explodes out of the ground and tackles Noire; Ama and Tsuki begin to combine their powers meanwhile*
<Seraphna> Angela> Focus on them, we've known about the teleporter goal a while now.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *then uses her tendrils to try to wrestle with the female*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think Chad and Adeline put a code on the teleporters. But... the corruption taking over the teleporters to this degree and while we are using them
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... it is hard to say what this will mean
<Seraphna> Ulieah> That's why I said go to the new location.
<DeathStar> *The female stabs at Noire with mystical power, trying to go overpower her*
<Seraphna> **Ulieah starts disabling each teleporter as Gitari clear it, using the emergency sequence to completely obliteratge them inside out**
<Alicia> * Hotaru eyes the female, before slashing at her from behind.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *burns some of ehr accumulated Corruption to try to power up her Dakr One powers and try to overwhelm the female twin*
<DeathStar> *the two Gods' power overwhelms the area, and Gitari warp onto the Iron Paw, crowding it and even slam the corruption back*
<DeathStar> *for a brief moment*
<Seraphna> **Angela starts carving a path for the remaining Gitari with her blaster rifle from the sky**
<Seraphna> **Angela uses that free moment to help destroy the last of the teleporters**
<DeathStar> <Imugem> Oh... crap...we're overloaded with rabbits
<Seraphna> Ulieah> Can I adopt one?
<DeathStar> <Imugem> Where did they even come from?
<Seraphna> Ulieah> Auntie Ama sent them.
<DeathStar> *The twin is sandwiched between oire and Hotaru, overwhelmed and then stabbed; she drops down onto the ground as the Gods drive the corruption back for a moment; then is eaten by it as it swams back*
<DeathStar> Song 16 - Fall
<Seraphna> Angela> That's it, we're pulling out.
<DeathStar> *Tsukiyomi slumps, her power eaten for the moment*
<Seraphna> **Angela flies over to scoop the goddesses up**
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "We've done all we can. I hope this counts as a victory."
<DeathStar> *Andrea grabs Noire and hops to Angela*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Everyone back to the ship."
<DeathStar> *Tsukiyomi holds onto Ama*
<Alicia> * Kyouki stays in spirit form to save space.
<Seraphna> **Ulieah frowns** They're right... be ready to initiate final protocols on Gitar.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I had no yet finished consuming them, mother!"
<Seraphna> **Angela starts blasting her afterburners back for the ship, wrapping her passengers in a shield to keep air for them**
<Seraphna> Angela> Hotaru, come!
<DeathStar> <Andrea> ... *she goes to respond when the planet begins to transform into a dark planet almost, darkness rising up for the team*
<Alicia> * Michiru teleports back onto the ship as Hotaru flies for it
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We need to go now
<Seraphna> Angela> Going! Erevis teleport yourself and anyone else left up.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I can try. I am not sure if I have enough hyperspace. *she focuses*
<Alicia> * Kyouki helps with the teleportation
<DeathStar> *Erevis touches Kyouki and focuses with her as the planet itself chases them. The team begins to flicker and manages to arrive on the bridge. Erevis smoking, butwithout damage*
<Seraphna> **Angela shifts to Space Mode and pushes for the Hangar, her Betas, if remaining, provide cover** <Right, get ready to unload the last package and jump Uli>
<DeathStar> <Andrea> *holds Noire down lest she try to go back*
<Seraphna> **Ulieah sets up the final parts and sighs**
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "How is the evacuation?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ..ggghh... *her body twitches rapidly in places, muscle spasms*
<Seraphna> Ulieah> Got all we can. Our last thing we can do is prevent as many dark ones from leaving as possible.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "...understood."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I tasted their essence, mother! I need to finish it!"
<DeathStar> *as Ulieah says that, a tendril stabs the Iron Paw*
<Seraphna> **Ulieah whispers and a shining angelic cat touches Erevis and provides healing magic**
<Seraphna> Ulieah> RUDE!
<DeathStar> <Andrea> No. You'll be like your cousins
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Noire, stop."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Mindless hunting
<DeathStar> *Mindlessly
<Seraphna> **Ulieah aims guns at the tendril and fires**
<DeathStar> *the tendril is blown off*
<Seraphna> **ULieah starts moving them for the jump as Angela lands in the hangar**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *inhales sharply*
<DeathStar> <Imugem> Setting up Gitari to be isolated if we cannot destroy the planet
<DeathStar> *Imugem pulls them back and sets up warnings and coordinates*
<Seraphna> Ulieah> Pacakage away. **she aims several of the weapons at the planet designed for this and fires** Goddess forgive us, okay? **she looks at Erevis**
<DeathStar> *Erevis nods to Ulieah and touches her and watches*
<DeathStar> *the planet is hit and it begins to eat the packages*
<DeathStar> *but then slowly it begins to crumble in on itself*
<DeathStar> *the Dark Ones slowly jump away*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Alright. I'm alright." *shakes out ehr hair then adjusts her glasses*
<Seraphna> **The Iron Paw makes it's sounds as it gets ready for a jump** Hopefully New Gitar will be pretty.
<DeathStar> *Andrea lets her up*
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... this kind of sacrifice... I'd almost forgotten how bad it feels."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> ... They went after Gitari for a reason. We have to find out why
<DeathStar> <Andrea> It wasn't just to make Dark Rabbits or piss off Tsukiyomi
<Seraphna> **Ulieah looks whistful, she of course was a child when the PAX evacuated her entire species off their world**
<Jackieness> <Noire> Hopefully those two don't give me indigestion, even though I barely touched the meal."
<DeathStar> *Tsukiyomi is back in the hanger, talking to the rabbits that are piled so full there is no movement*
<Seraphna> **Ulieah jumps them after all confirmations come in**
<DeathStar> *Imugem goes to contact PAX but has trouble getting through*
<DeathStar> <Imugem> ... Hm
<Seraphna> Ulieah> Might have been to lure some of our forces away too.
<Seraphna> Ulieah> If this is due to a jam.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Can you scna any activity on the teleporter network before we blew the local pads?"
<Seraphna> **Ulieah frowns and checks the logs**
<DeathStar> *Ulieah would find the teleportation system has been ..crashed. By some unknown force. Who used it*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That should be impossible. We locked it down and blew it up
<Seraphna> Ulieah> May not have been from our end.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Either way we cannot use it right now. We need to find some place safe for the bunnies and fly to the PAX
<Seraphna> Ulieah> In fact this may have just been a cover for something else. The twins said... this planet was a keystone?
<Seraphna> Ulieah> Did they mean they knew we'd rush to defend it no matter what?
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Think that was their goal all along? And they said touchstone."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Late twins."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Hm.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... Noire, I'm glad we didn't lose you."
<Seraphna> **ULieah muses** We can deposit them on the nearest world on our way that has Suisen connections.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The Gitari is an important member of the Suisen Empire
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps they meant that?
<Seraphna> Ulieah> So they did likely launch this attack simply because they knew we'd respond and with a good force.
<Seraphna> Ulieah> I have a feeling someone attempted to do something on the PAX while we were away.
<DeathStar> *Erevis frowns*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> Song 8: Hapian
<DeathStar> *Selena's forces have arrived in the Hapian capital, where the people are acting much like the ones in the Amazon*
<DeathStar> <Qui> I am ashamed. *she notes, observing*
<Seraphna> Jaime> You can see this wasn't your fauly.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So we need to find a way to locate the wind.
<Seraphna> **Si stretches** I had an idea... but I'm not sure if I can find the young Gartareh in a hurry.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "You can't see the wind, though, only things blowing in it..."
<DeathStar> *the forces of the Dark Lands are there already - moving and taking up positions. There aer signs of fighting here and there*
<Seraphna> Jaime> He has to have some kind of signature. Everyone and everything does.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "We had considered trying to locate the senter of the wind by releasing a gas or such into the air."
<DeathStar> *but whatever this supernatual force is it overpowers the minds of the people quickly*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> The problem is what sort of gas should we use
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Something colourful?"
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Colored smoke?"
<Alicia> * Sparkling nods to Nicolette
<Jackieness> <Kira> It would need to be a colored gas, easy to track but hard to dissipate."
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks** Selena, do you know any large tailors here in the city?
<DeathStar> *Selena nods and thinks* Yes.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Colored smoke. Yes. You're right
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Oh! A windsock?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Okay, we need to get to one. At this level of tech most tailors should still be using dye powders like Indigo.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "... or that!"
<Seraphna> Jaime> We can have Sylph spread it through the air, it'll quickly cling to ANYTHING.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Even slightly denser air.
<Seraphna> Jaime> It's that or we stun net the city.
<DeathStar> *Selena nods and leads them onto the streets where signs of fighting have occurred a few hours ago while they were up north in the Amazons. The Dark Lands likely took the people by surprise.*
<DeathStar> *Asarar walks along, peering about on high alert while Sabrina floats casually*
<Seraphna> **Jaime peers around as they walk, though she herself seems to just slide slowly along the cobblestones**
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...our only hope is to cut the head off this thing..."
<DeathStar> <Cypher> How do you deal with one person controlling everyone... it's rather scary.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Assuming its a person."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Find the person and knock them out. We've had a few issues in the past with telepaths with high mind control.
<Seraphna> Si> It's a bit weird.
<Seraphna> Si> The other gods could only possess one person and occupied them entirely.
* Chaintan has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
<DeathStar> *as they walk, water dribbles along the streets, chasing them*
<DeathStar> *Selena pauses in front of a massive store near the palace* The maids use this store
<Seraphna> Si> I remember Amazo as supposed to have some power to drive troops into bloodlust, but Gartareh we had little to go on.
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods and lets herself in**
<DeathStar> *Sabrina yelps beside Nicolette*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Thens comandeer the dye power then."
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "What's wrong?"
<DeathStar> *the inside of the store is empty, though there is sounds of shuffling in the back of it in the store room*
<Seraphna> **Jaime heads there**
<Jackieness> <Kira> *puts a figner to her lips and then moves for the backroom, drawing her shortblade*
<DeathStar> *a clerk is there; they turn to eye Jaime and Kira, then leap at them, trying to touch them*
<Seraphna> **Jaime tosses him into a wall with TK**
<DeathStar> *Sabrina meanwhile would feel a watery hand touch her leg*
<DeathStar> *Sparkling even
<DeathStar> *Jaime TKs the clerk, causing him to slide down the wall*
<DeathStar> *Qui feels the fabrics and other stuff inside the store with Selena as they look for the object. Sylph looks lost*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *looks for the dye containers*
<Seraphna> **Jaime sighs and starts grabbing up bags of indigo and other powders that might be there**
<Seraphna> Jaime> They boil this stuff with the cloth to dye it.
<DeathStar> *the group finds the items - more than enough. Plus beautiful dresses and outfits that suit them.*
<DeathStar> *Sparkling is yanked around the corner while no one is looking*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Let's get to work."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Do you know what you're doing? <Selena> I have no idea how to make dye
<Seraphna> **Jaiem nods and starts setting up the bags** Sylph, can you spread this through the air? The powder itself will work.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I leave this kind of stuff to Chelsea or Bonnie
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I will try! My powers have been acting up
<Jackieness> <Kira> "We don't need to make the dye, just disperse the dry poder into the air."
<DeathStar> <Selena> I see!
<Seraphna> Jaime> Probably either because your daughter is coming into power or because Gartareh is hitching on your element.
<DeathStar> *Sylph muses on that*
<DeathStar> *a watery hand grabs onto Nicolette next to pull her away*
<Seraphna> Jaime> With Ellie in the past your drain has probably increased.
<Seraphna> **Jaime stomps and sends a rock up through the water**
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Ellie is the best
<Seraphna> Jaime> Enough of that!
<DeathStar> *the water is dispersed*
<DeathStar> *Qui turns to look back*
<Seraphna> Jaime> He didn't soemhow take over Brooke did he?
<DeathStar> <Qui> *feels out* .. you are right. Brooke feels wrong
<DeathStar> *Brooke rises and on either side is Sabrina and Sparkling*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...they got the Maka!"
<DeathStar> <Selena> They almost got Nicolette too
<DeathStar> *she pulls Nico behind her*
<Seraphna> **Jaime rolls her eyes, immediately TKing Sperkling at a wall to knock senses into her**
<DeathStar> *Sparkling blasts Jaime at the same time with magic, sending her flying*
<DeathStar> *through a wall*
<Seraphna> **Jaime grunts and forms rock armor before she stops, slowly sitting up** Owwww.
<Seraphna> **Si meanwhile blasts fire into Brooke**
<Jackieness> <Kira> *leaps to one wall and then leaps off, launching flyign kick to try to take out Sparkling*
<DeathStar> *Sabrina forms a holy arrow and aims it at Selena, firing who parries and rushes in to touch her. Selena whaps Sabrina across the room while Kira downs Sparkling*
<DeathStar> *Brooke tilts head and then moves toward Si, encasing her in water*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Rabbit Girl!
<Seraphna> **Thena appears behind Brooke and uses a Telepathic Scramble at her mind**
<Seraphna> *Si looks annoyed from inside the water**
<DeathStar> *Brooke falls over*
<DeathStar> <Selena> ... it's a good thing you noticed that.... Brooke was picking us off one by one
<Jackieness> <Kira> "We need to proceed with the plan before we have another surprise."
<Seraphna> Jaime> I kept feeling slivers of spirit enter the room.
<DeathStar> *Sylph takes the object* I am off!
<DeathStar> *Sylph floats off*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Uhh... what happened?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime says that as she steps back in**
<Seraphna> Jaime> You got mind jacked.
<DeathStar> Song 9 - The Counter
<DeathStar> <Selena> Do you think she can do it?
<Seraphna> Jaime> I hope so. There's another idea if she can't but it's slightly more annoying.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Share it just in case."
<DeathStar> *As Sylph begins to spread it, using wind and throwing it around the city, suddenly the store wall crashes and Ceilia and Mykel appear*
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena Reporting! I spotted Ceilia and Mykel!
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...and there is thats urprise I was talking about."
<Seraphna> Jaime> ...Thanks for the update.
<DeathStar> *Mykel stabs at Qui, sending her across the room bleeding as she barely counters*
<Seraphna> **Si fuus and imeediately sends a fireball for Mykel**
<DeathStar> *while Ceilia begins to chant*
<DeathStar> *Shinobu lands, blocking the fireball*
<Alicia> * Sparkling fires a blast at Mykel
<DeathStar> *she spins and blcoks Sparkling's blast*
<Seraphna> **Jaime TK lifts Shinobu to knock into Ceilia** Sorry sweetheart.
<DeathStar> *the two crash into each other*
<DeathStar> *Mykel approaches Jaime and dashes for her to stab*
<Seraphna> **Jaime shifts with her tock armor and throws a Stone Fist at him**
<Ariel> * Nicolette draws upon the cards to attempt to chain down Ceilia
<DeathStar> *soft footsteps approach Asarar and someone leaps to attack her from behind*
<Seraphna> *Literally throws**
<DeathStar> *Ceilia is chained and she strains to move*
<DeathStar> *Mykel goes flying into a wall*
<DeathStar> <Selena> I think someone doesn't want us to find their location
<Jackieness> <Kira> *dashes around and then launches a flying kick, trying to strike Asarar's attacker*
<DeathStar> *Kira knocks Rain into a wall; it looks like she was hijacked when she went to look into Shinobu*
<Seraphna> **Thena spins and makes the cutest little noise, distracting and possibly stunning their foes with pure, unbridled Charisma**
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Safe bet. They're pretty quick to throw away resources."
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "That means we're winning!"
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Jaime! Thena! Go check on Sylph!"
<DeathStar> *Rain rises, and she joins Shinobu, the two's eyes glow, using vampric eye powers to begin to weaken the group*
<Seraphna> **Jaime teleports outside**
<DeathStar> <Selena> ... *Strains as the vampric eyes* Don't look at them
<DeathStar> *outside a wind begins to chase Sylph to touch her*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Bad wind!
<Seraphna> **Jaime takes aim carefully and fires a Hyperspace Blast at that wind**
<Alicia> * Sparkling closes her eyes and fires a blast at where Rain was when she did so
<Jackieness> <Kira> *grabs a table and lobs it at Rain and Shinbou*
<DeathStar> *Sparkling hits Rain and Kira knocks Shinobu down, meanwhile Jaie hits the wind and Sylph throws the dye at the wind, making it visible for all to see now*
<Seraphna> Thena> **taps comms** Forces, the wind is tagged, fire!
<DeathStar> *Sylph flees as the wind looks like a not a person but an ball of energy perhaps, it is definitely ... something*
<DeathStar> *it begins to float off*
<Seraphna> **Thena sends a node after it which fires at it**
<Alicia> * Sparkling opens her eyes to try to spot and shoot the wind before it flees
<DeathStar> *Mykel slinks off*
<Seraphna> **Si leaps tosses a wall of fire in Mykel's way**
<Jackieness> <Kira> "They are pulling back."
<DeathStar> Song 10 - Tarhian Wind
<Seraphna> Si> That's a bad baby dragon!
<Jackieness> <Kira> "all energy wielders, hit that wind... thing!"
<Seraphna> **Jaime focuses a TK field around the wind to slow it, making the air about it like pure molasses**
<DeathStar> *Mykel lands on his butt. MEanwhile the object is hit and is slowed. Due to their good rolls, the group ebgins to hear ... something approaching them in the city. Selena pauses and Asarar curseS*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Do you hear that?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I don't know what it is, but yes!"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yep. Something's coming, still, let's poke the bear more. **she fires at it again**
<DeathStar> *Hapian citizens and Dark Land people begin to approach*
<DeathStar> *all coming right for the store*
<DeathStar> *the object is hit and heads for the store, swooping at Jaime to try to touch her*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Pour everything at that thing! Those without anything to shoot... form with me and prepare to hold our ground."
<Seraphna> **Jaime teleports to another rooftop some distance away and fires again**
<DeathStar> *Selena forms with Kira and Qui begins to board the store*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> If they get into the store, we are in trouble
<Seraphna> Thena> Could just teleport you all to another location?
<DeathStar> *Ceilia and Mykel begin to groan, bck to normal*
<DeathStar> <Rain> ... How did I get here?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "We just ned to hold until that thing finally just dies!"
<Seraphna> Si> What about Shinobu?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Mind hijacking."
<DeathStar> *suddenly there is a rumbling sound as those on the roof come crashing through into the store*
<Ariel> * Nicolette calls upon the earth to form a wall to try to hold back the civilians
<DeathStar> *Nicolette thankfully gives them more time*
<Seraphna> **Jaime whispers softly and summons Gnome, forming with her immediately**
<DeathStar> *Selena makes a curse as the ceiling gives in. The dyed monster moves about inside the store*
<Seraphna> **Thena teleports to them and winks them out to a rooftop near Jaime**
<Seraphna> Thena> Need to control ground! **falls over**
<DeathStar> *Asarar sits on the rooftop, holding her leg that was damaged from the ceiling giving in and Cypher makes curses*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> How much life does that thing have?
<DeathStar> *Selena looks over and watches the civilians push against Nicolette's barrier*
<Seraphna> **Jaime seems to be concentrating glowing in her Gnome form** We are about to find out.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> It seems to be made of wind. Not sure if we are hurting it
<DeathStar> *Mykel listens and Shinobu sits up*
<Seraphna> Jaime> You know how to kill wind don't you?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...what about that one guy... Void?"
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *jerks* Me? Know how to hurt myself?
<DeathStar> *the creature seems to be hunting them*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Cut it off and remove the air.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Magic might could do it.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "So we need a giant vaccuum?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> **mumbles, seeming to be concentrating on something** Just a little closer...
<DeathStar> <Shinobu> Anti wind magic? <Rain> Earth elements does do damage to Sylph
<Seraphna> **Thena shrugs, then tosses a node blast out at it**
<Jackieness> <Kira> "That is my thought... or try launchign it into space."
<Seraphna> Thena> Hey stinky!
<DeathStar> *The creature begins to head for them as Thena calls it out*
<DeathStar> <Voice> Submit.
<DeathStar> <Rain> Ah. It speaks
<DeathStar> *Mykel pulls Ceilia close, glaring*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...but what exactly is 'it'?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime waits and as soon as it's close enough, she forms her Ultra Move in the air around it, a giant stone appearing infused with hyperspace all around it** Hyper Meteor~
<DeathStar> *The creature is hit and smashed into the cobble street*
<Seraphna> **Jaime then lowers the stone down on top of it like a crushing force**
<DeathStar> <Selena> ... *she glances down at the street*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Sorry we might have to repave that area...
<DeathStar> <Rain> Well while he plays with it. If that fails
<DeathStar> *she
<Seraphna> Jaime> Especially with the double whammy... **she clenches her fist and the street itself tries to crush it too**
<DeathStar> *Jaime continues to keep it pinned*
<DeathStar> <Rain> Does anyone know magic that might work? Or ideas? Void should work.
<Seraphna> Si> Void.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I was just tossing idras out... no powers like that of my own.""
<Seraphna> Si> Without Lorelei it has to be destroyed.
<DeathStar> *Jaime surprisingly begins to disperse it, as the dye begins to get smaller*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Same
<DeathStar> <Selena> I know no anti-wind spells
<Seraphna> **Si superheats the area too, since heat destroys oxygen**
<DeathStar> *Selena blinks as it gets even smaller*
<DeathStar> <Selena> What are you doing? Fire?
<Seraphna> Si> Yep.
<Seraphna> Si> Heat dispeses air particles.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Gasp. Salamander can't hurt Sylph
<Seraphna> Si> I command heat and fire all on my own.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hey... Salamander, come help anyway.
<DeathStar> *as they talk, the creature is soon extremely small. It looks like any moment now it'll be destroyed. Nicolette ould notice the civilians are no longer attacking her barrier as if the control on it is gone*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Keep up the pressure!"
<Seraphna> Thena> Don't let up defenses. This thing already learned to play dead once.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I think it's over. *As she says that, behind Sparkling something moves*
<DeathStar> *even as Salamander appears* Yes?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Help me burn the naughty god.
<Seraphna> **Thena blinks and turns to see what's after Sparkling**
<DeathStar> *Salamander tilts head* Huh? Okay. *she aims at the creature and attacks. Behind Sparkling is a small stretched piece of the creature, having broken off a piece of itself to go after the strongest Maka. It begins to cling to Sparkling to take her over*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "...I don't think I should blast myself..."
<Seraphna> **THena forms a shard of crystal right into the creature stretching out from Sparkling, then ignites it with her hyperspace**
<DeathStar> *they manage to get it and soon there seems to be no more pieces of it*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Did we do it?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Or is it hiding
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I can't tell.."
<Alicia> * Sparkling grabs some dye and throws it around
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "It's..." *pauses, then remembers she can try to scry if it's still alive, and does so*
<Seraphna> **Jaime feels out for the essense she was attacking, the earth in that area seeking to bury and extringuish**
<Seraphna> **Si uses God Ping!
<DeathStar> *it's a good thing Nicolette did that. There's a small piece of it hiding out of sight. Turned off so even Si's ping cannot pick up on it. It looks like it's nearby the group, probably on one of them waiting to take over*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Well?"
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "...still out there."
<DeathStar> <Selena> .... I don't see it
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Where?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns and grabs the dye, tossing it over themselves**
<DeathStar> *Selena coughs, but there seems to be nothing on her*
<Ariel> * Nicolette focuses, trying to dowse out it's location.
<DeathStar> *just dye on her*
<DeathStar> *Nicolette nrarow it down to somewhere on Sylph*
<DeathStar> *since she's most likely the most dangerous one to it*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Sylph is all pretty now
<Ariel> * Nicolette conjures a water spell to engulf Sylph on water, and seperate any air around her
<Seraphna> Thena> Hold breath sylphy
<DeathStar> *Sylph gurgles comedically as the thing is washed off and destroyed*
<DeathStar> *the team can see it be dissolved*
<DeathStar> <Selena> ...?
<Seraphna> Jaime> I think we just killed a God.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> We...did?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I don't believe in Gods.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "...wow."
<Seraphna> Si> They beleive in you.
<Ariel> * Nicolette breaths a sigh of relief
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Then does that make me a God?
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Hm? Hm? Sylph feels like she use wind agian better. *she floats everyone up*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Hah!" *tilts her ehad* "...though we dont't have confirmation as to what that thing was."
<Seraphna> **Thena nods and taps the comms** Fleet, high alert, ground situatiuon is handled. We will rush to restore anti-air forces.
<DeathStar> *As thena uses comm, she would find things on the other end are chaoatic, like somethign is going on*
<Seraphna> Thena> ...Not good. I need to check in.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Somehow, I don't think it's finished."
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods** I'll get the ground forces here under control.
<Seraphna> Thena> Yeah... whatever's happening this is the perfect time for another attack.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I agree. <Selena> ... *looks out at the city* We need to get Geyze back under control. If someone were to attack us right now we would be in trouble.
<DeathStar> <Mykel> I apologize.
<DeathStar> *he bows*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well, get the Legion's cannons aimed at the sky and you're forgiven. We all get posessed once in a while.
<DeathStar> <Shinobu> Yes. The last few months feel like a blur. Mykel and Ceilia came to visit and then things became a blur. I recall a storm like weather
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "That'd be the wind!"
<Seraphna> Jaime> ANd I've been so tied up I haven't been able to visit to notice.
<DeathStar> *Mykel looks amused and takes Ceilia and Shinobu with him to get things back in order*
<Seraphna> **Thena vanishes, clearly on her way to get information and help elsewhere**
<DeathStar> <Selena> I suppose a few of us should get things ready here and the rest should check on things up there. *points at the sky*
<DeathStar> <Selena> I do not want a sneak attack to occur. So any information that can be brought back I would appreciate
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yep. **she seperates from Gnome and gives her a kiss** Make sure the Queens know the situation love.
<DeathStar> *Gnome nods*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Alright, all aboard, we're going to the PAX.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Date: Winter 19,966 1.25 Croza Era
<DeathStar> Location: The Spirit Realm
<DeathStar> *Celes sits by a beautiful lake*
<DeathStar> <Neekito> *studies her hands, having been out of it since they arrived in the Realm. Gwen musing*
<Seraphna> Alita> It's a shame we can't visit this often in our time.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "It's a wonder we can visit it at all in this."
<DeathStar> *Celes nods in agreement as in the distance the strange angelic beings begin to approach. Shade looks surprised as she meets them and Celes shifts to listen in as they begin to speak in Ancient*
<Alicia> * Ceilidh also listens in, trying to record what she hears, even if she can't understand it
<Seraphna> **Alita perks her ears, trying to follow along best she can from all their studying during the fabulous Royals arc**
<DeathStar> <Celes> For those of you who do not know Ancient, Shade is surprised they are meeting her in those bodies. Um, one moment - it seems those aren't their true bodies, but more like what those from the PAX might consider mechanical bodies. Their true bodies are elsewhere.
<DeathStar> <Celes> They are apologizing but something has come up and they attending to it.
<DeathStar> *Shade sits while the Ancients hover about her*
<Seraphna> Talia> Wonder what wrong now.
<DeathStar> <Celes> It seems that something has occurred elsewhere on one of their worlds and some of their number has begun to take actions that concerns them. And that they might need Shade and her the older Spirits' help in the days to come to deal with them. Shade is asking what that might be and they are talking about the group is taking actions that are not ethical or moral according to the standards set by the Croza.
<DeathStar> <Celes> And they are worried about what that might mean in the days to come.
<DeathStar> *Celes looks at the group*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... so it begins."
<DeathStar> *Celes muses* Indeed
<DeathStar> *she perks her head up* Oh. And one more thing
<DeathStar> <Celes> I think they noticed us based on the conversation. *indeed, the Croza have turned toward their location*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Do we need to leave?"
<Seraphna> **Talia waves**
<DeathStar> <Celes> I think ... that might be too late. *Shade begins to approach them with one of the Croza*
