<DeathStar> Date: 10-642.5.16
<DeathStar> Location: Tsivrixsh Capital
<DeathStar> *a storm is brewing and the dark, constant clouds are swirling in the sky as lighting crackles, the wind beating on the dark structures of the capital. Acidic rain threatens to fall as the group is in one of Shretrav's houses, a small, but comfortable building as the wind howls against it*
<DeathStar> *Shion eyes her pale skin, having returned fully to normal now*
<Seraphna> Michelle> Weather is almost as bad as Los Angelos out here.
<DeathStar> <Ka'pla> What?
<Alicia> <Asha> "Where's that?"
<DeathStar> *Ako peers out the window quietly, her ears twitching*
<Seraphna> Michelle> S’bad Earth City weather wise.
<DeathStar> <Ka'pla> When you have weather like this, when plotting, it is usually an omen
<DeathStar> *the daughter of Xevil polishes a weapon - it looks like a long stick type weapon, having no blades oddly and seems to be non-leathal.*
<Alicia> <Asha> "Plotting is bad in this weather?"
<Seraphna> Michelle> I dunno, is there lightning?
<DeathStar> *Thomas polishes his glasses* There has been for the past half hour
<Alicia> <Asha> "I keep thinking something evil is about to happen."
<DeathStar> *the front door opens*
<DeathStar> *letting wind and rain come pouring in*
<Alicia> * Asha watches, hoping it's not evil coming is
<DeathStar> *Kre'trav comes walking in, her short black hair soaked as is her outfit. Shretrav walks over to join her*
<Seraphna> Michelle> Someone else arrives. Oh hey Kre.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Good, not evil."
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> Miche. The Second has left a map at the drop box. The others said they waiting for our signal to enter the palace and call an emergency meeting
<DeathStar> *Shretrav opens the package and inside is a detailed map of the catacombs. Kyun walks over and peers down at it*
<DeathStar> <Kyun> With this we should be able to get inside to the palace innerchambers
<DeathStar> <Shion> I guess the question is, when do we do this?
<Seraphna> Michelle> Do we go in and kick the crap out o him?
<DeathStar> <Ako> The longer we delay, the longer this goes on
<DeathStar> *Ako finally turns away from the window*
<Alicia> <Asha> "I don't think just bursting in to beat him up is a good idea."
<DeathStar> <Kyun> Oh? How so?
<Seraphna> Michelle> Agreed, each day this is takin’ the more people die.
<DeathStar> *Kyun studies Asha a moment longer, then turns to Michelle*
<Alicia> <Asha> "Won't he have guards? Though I can't think of a better plan. Maybe we can unmask him though?"
<DeathStar> <Ako> How do we unmask him when he looks like Kyun/
<Alicia> <Asha> "I hoped one of you would know."
<DeathStar> *Ako shrugs*
<DeathStar> <Ako> We don't have a maka
<Seraphna> Michelle> Hrm… well when you hit them enough they start goin’ gooey.
<Alicia> <Asha> "... I guess that'll have to do."
<Seraphna> Michelle> And when you crush their core they fall apart.
<DeathStar> <Kyun> So,the question is, do you want to do this tonight?
<DeathStar> *he asks the group*
<Seraphna> Michelle> Been shitton’ prepared way too long. And the rain will hinder reinforcements.
<DeathStar> *Shretrav rises*
<Alicia> <Asha> "I'd like a way to prove that he's a fake before we have to fight guards, but if we have to fight guards, we have to fight guards."
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Let us go
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Gather your stuff - we make for the catacombs
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I will research ways to unmask your Hunter then, Asha
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin glances up from drawing and hops to his feet.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> And join you later
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I have a good feeling about this.
* Sara has joined #TAW-Session522
<DeathStar> *Shretrav steps outside into the rain*
<DeathStar> <Ka'pla> I will follow at a distance. I don't want to get shot at some guard who wants to take down the daughter of Xevil
<Seraphna> **Michelle grabs her gear**
<Alicia> <Asha> "Understandable."
<DeathStar> *Ako puts on some gear and steps out into the rain and wind; the acidic rain falling about*
<DeathStar> *Shretrav leads them through the dark streets where,due to the war, patrols are moving about to keep rowdiness to a minimal. Also to keep an eye out for sabotage.*
<Seraphna> **Michelle pulls a poncho on and covers up with a hood before stepping out**
<Alicia> * Asha readies at the very least a thick hooded cloak to protect her from the wind and rain
<DeathStar> *one patrol eyes them and seems to be heading their way*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> One of these days we're going to look back on this time and feel nostalgic for how tingly the rain makes us feel.
<DeathStar> <Shion> Or how the patrol there is about to notice we're not blue
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin glances around Shion to count the number in the patrol.
<Seraphna> **Kicks something down an alley they pass as they keep moving**
<DeathStar> *three; and beyond them is the entrance into the catacombs*
<Seraphna> **Michelle that is
<DeathStar> *the patrol glances for a moment*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin puts his head down and plans on just passing, but is ready to act if they do something.
<DeathStar> *Shretrav walkspast them, since they need to get around them*
<Alicia> * Asha acts natural
<DeathStar> *the Tsivrixsh hold up a hold to stop them* ID's
<DeathStar> *Shretrav reaches into her pocket slowly and shows her's*
<Seraphna> **Michelle moves to do the same when the flash granade she rolled into the alley goes off**
<DeathStar> *the Tsivrixsh are startled!*
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Shit, run!
<DeathStar> *She runs past them*
<Seraphna> **Michelle quickly taps one to remove it's friction and shoves as she runs past to make him slide into another, moving**
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin breaks into a run after Shretrav.
<Alicia> * Asha runs after
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh go flying since they caught offguard and Shretrav opens up the ground to go down into the catacombs*
<DeathStar> *Shion and Ako leap down after*
<Seraphna> **Michelle slides in**
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin slides up to it and grasps the edge to drop down in as well.
<DeathStar> *Shretrav pulls out the map and begins to march without stopping, following the map and soon they put distance between them and the Tsivrixsh*
<DeathStar> *without the map, it would feel like they are in the same area again and again; the storm howling above head making it echo down here and there's even extra water running along their feet*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin leaps up to make sure Asha hops down with them, then closes the entrance.
<Alicia> * Asha does indeed follow Kellin in
<DeathStar> *Ako mrrr's quietly as they march through the tunnels when Shretrav announces* <Shretrav> We're almost there.
<Seraphna> **MIchelle nods a bit, cycling through her arrowheads**
<DeathStar> *As they walk along,due to no one having high enough perception, a few moments later, the group literally walks into an ambush of Tsivrixsh guards coming from all sides of the tunnels, surrounding them and cutting them off from the last leg of their journey* <Shretrav> .. someone betrayed us
<DeathStar> <Ako> ....
<Xanatos> <Kellin> You think so?
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> You, with us.
<DeathStar> *He aims the xvash at Kellin*
<Seraphna> **MIchelle slips an arrowhead into her hand and peers around at their situation**
<DeathStar> *another Tsivrixsh eyes Michelle warningly, waving their xvash*
<Seraphna> Michelle> I dunno Kel, what do you think, should we go with them?
<DeathStar> <Shion> I rather eat them
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin tries to get a count on how many they're up against.
<Seraphna> Michelle> Odds don't seem fair, there's not enough of them.
<DeathStar> *it looks to bar around 16-20,it's hard to tell in the shadows; granted due to how the tunnels are,some are behind others*
<DeathStar> *bar - be
<DeathStar> *The lead Tsivrixsh looks like he's read to just club them*
<DeathStar> *lifting his xvash ove his head at Shretrav*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Well, there could be hundreds in the shadows there. I'll light it up. 6* He forms his pistols and starts firing shows down one tunnel with the other towards the Xvash pointer.
<Seraphna> **Michelle at the exact instant he moves hurls the arrow head with her kenetic force into one set of the crowd, set to explode with trapping foam**
<Alicia> * Asha creates a flame to light the way, just holding it like a torch for now
<DeathStar> *Kellin indeed smacks one. The Tsivrixsh take that to move, surprisingly fast like they're elite ones. As Michelle takes out a few, they move in and slam their xvash into Shretrav's back kidney area, then throw her at Kellin to knock him off balance*
<DeathStar> *while a few more move in that wasn't taken out and slide in, blurring almost and swing to kneecap Michelle*
<DeathStar> *Ako flail and forms her weapons to try to avoid three that come at her*
<Seraphna> *MIchelle uses her friction on herself to send herself up to the ceiling of the sewer, forming her bow and pulling an arrow**
<Alicia> <Asha> "Oh well, I guess we were going to have to fight sooner or later anyway." *flings the fire at one of the Tsiv*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin catches Shretrav and umphs, falling to his back, trying to roll with the momentum so she doesn't pin him. He frowns and begins sharging up a big hyperspace blast in his right hand, firing with his left to keep people off of him.
<DeathStar> *Asha wounds theone who rolls into the water; Shion manages to take down one while the assassin Tsivrixsh fade into the shadows, makingit harder to locate them. Michelle suddenly is grabbed at the ceiling and yanked down hard to the ground level as Kellin fries some off of him.*
<DeathStar> *Ako gets a lucky roll and stabs onein the shadows*
<Seraphna> **Michelle uses the friction again to essentially spider-man on the ceiling as she kneels to get even harder to reach and fires a focused shot at one of those attacking the others**
<DeathStar> *the attacknig one moves and Michelle whacks Ako*
<Seraphna> **Michelle yelps and flashes her personal shield, kicking at whoever grabbed her as hard as she can**
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin pulls up the charging gun and fires off the hyperspace shot for one of the elite tsiv trying to whittle down their number.
<DeathStar> **Michelle kciks the one*
<DeathStar> *it begins to get quiet after Kellin's attack, the elite ones moving to stick to the tunnels instead of directly attacking*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Alright here's how this goes. 6* He kneels to pull Shretrav to the center.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Everyone back to back around Shretrav, everyone takes a tunnel. Protect each other's back. Tsiv, you can come at us and die or you can fuck off.
<Seraphna> **MIchelle helps Ako up and back to him, knowing where he is even without a voice** For Elites they can't seem to tell who the Emperor is. ]
<DeathStar> *Shretrav is not moving - being xvashed*
<DeathStar> <Ako> ... ouch
* ChadWinters` has joined #TAW-Session522
<DeathStar> *Ako holds her arm and grabs the map from Shretrav* We're close to the palace.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> None of us have healing?
<DeathStar> *at that moment theer's movements coming from the way they came. Ka'pla peers down at the group*
<Seraphna> **Michelle touches her, using the to be rewritten lesser version of her Mother's healing**
<DeathStar> <Ka'pla> ...I take it something happened. Should I drag her back?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> We were ambushed.
<Seraphna> Michelle> Someone sold us out apparently.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Or they got lucky.
<DeathStar> *Ka'pla kneels* That mean Kyun might be in trouble.
<DeathStar> <Ka'pla> Probably one of the council members.
<Seraphna> Michelle> Shoulda had him with us.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Yeah we need to get to him.
<DeathStar> *Ka'pla lifts Shretrav up* He'll be in the palace waiting for you. He just sent out the message to the councilers
<DeathStar> <Ka'pla> Assuming he's not caught yet
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Right, Well we have the map, bring her with us, the healing will take effect soon hopefully.
<DeathStar> *Ka'pla nods and carries her along as Ako takes the lead now*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Seraphna> Michelle> Then we got no choice but forward. She's been Xvashed. I hopefulyl flushed it but I'd need more time to fully close the wound.
<DeathStar> Location: Yggdrasil
<DeathStar> *Taiga looks weak as they arrive at the village where Wind is training Kaori to use her powers more easily like breathing air for whatever situations she finds herself in*
<DeathStar> *Wind turns to eye the four, adjusting his suit*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> .... *lays on her back, the fruit tucked away in a pouch*
<Seraphna> Angela> Long time no see Windy.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Hm. Sera.
<Seraphna> **Angela blinks a bit, having to access the memories properly** Oh yeah, that's me.
<Sara> <Kaori> Windy sounds like a Spirit name
<DeathStar> *Wind rolls something in his hand, it looks a bit familiar perhaps*
<DeathStar> <Wind> So what brings you to to the tree?
<Seraphna> Angela> We were getting a fruit to heal Yuki.
<Seraphna> Angela> **gives Cheryl a hug** Kinda a family mission.
<Seraphna> **Angela seems to eye the thing curiously with recognition, Si, clueless, bounces over to Kaori and does a mantis pose**
<DeathStar> <Wind> Hm. Becareful with that. That fruit might be fruit, but it's also something more. *he turns to Kaori* I think I've taught you everything I can. When you feel confident enough in that power, you'll be able to do minute things as well as large things.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Anyway, do you all need a lift to a destination?
<Seraphna> Angela> The PAX would be great, or the teleporter.
<Seraphna> Si> Yeah Yuki's waiting to get healed in Medical.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl works on getting feeling to her arm as Taiga nods* Sounds good. Plus I don't think the tree is safe for Kaori anymore
<DeathStar> *Taiga eyes her datapad* It seems there's a major fleet about
<Seraphna> Angela> Serpent isn't moving already is he?
<Seraphna> Si> Whaaaa?
<DeathStar> *Wind touches Kaori, then the other four. A moment or two later, they appear in medical, minus Wind; Cuddles looks up*
<DeathStar> *having been eating chinese food*
<Seraphna> Angela> We're back!
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> .... I'm so happy. *she says, monotoned*
<Seraphna> Si> Fuuuuu. Hey are those baby carrots? **she hops over**
<DeathStar> *Cuddles uses her chopstick to offer them to Si*
<Seraphna> **Si nibbles**
<Sara> * Kaori blinks a couple of times
<DeathStar> *CHIP gives an alert to Lenneth and Xanatos of someone teleporting into medical*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I guess we just try to get Yuki to eat this
<DeathStar> *Taiga moves into medical where Yuki is hooked up to machines*
<Seraphna> Angela> Well He did say to be careful about it.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> .. right. She can't eat it
<Xanatos> 6* Xan blinks and locks down medical, getting an eye on it with the cameras.
<DeathStar> *Taiga eyes the glowing fruit*
<Seraphna> **Angela waves at a camera**
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Great, now I'm locked in with you guys
<Xanatos> <Xan> ...oh. 6* He drops the lockdown
<DeathStar> <Taiga> How do we get the fruit into her system. *Cuddles takes the fruit* <Cuddles> Give it to me
<Seraphna> Angela> Medical Magic of course. Sorceress Cuddles will work her arcane rites.
<Seraphna> Si> She knows magic!?
<DeathStar> *Cuddles moves to cut a piece off and works on making it so it can be put into her system*
<DeathStar> *Cheryl moves to join Xanatos*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We're back
<DeathStar> *at that moment, Lenneth is in the war room*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Everything okay?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Exhausted. I doubt we'll be much use for awhile. But we got the fruit. And brought Kaori bck
<Seraphna> **Angela shrugs a bit and pats her daughter's head, then takes a deep breath and heads after Cheryl** Of course she didn't get the arm treated...
<Xanatos> <Xan> Well, let me catch you up on what's about to go down.
<DeathStar> *Ao cuts off the final piece of hull they can do before the enemy arriveS*
<DeathStar> <Ao> *comms* Returning to the PAX
<DeathStar> *Adeline downloads what we can from the PAX2 and joins Ao*
<Seraphna> **Jaime moves over with Adeline, carrying a small pile of parts and things of interest that they ddin't need**
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> The enemy will be here soon
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Are all hands at battle stations?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well, that was a lot of work! After this we can check on Gnome...
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek moves into place to help Ao move the final piece.
<DeathStar> *Athena is hooking up the second Idol Machine*
<DeathStar> <Athena> Now. Who wishes to sing?
<Seraphna> **Thena wiggles, helping a little, already dressed up** I can!
<DeathStar> <Athena> Hm. We will be rotating Idols. *she nods*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "I'm ready."
<Alicia> <Victoire> "... I'm not an idol any more, but..."
<Seraphna> Thena> Pep up! Concentrate Idol power!
<DeathStar> <Athena> Reikana will take Idol #. *she studies Vict* One never stops being Idol!
* ChadWinters` rubs his face a bit as he watches all the incoming data. 1"Well, Durran, there's nothing left we can do at this point.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I'll have to ask Fate about that."
<DeathStar> *Lenneth eyes it all as Cheryl and Xanatos arrive at the war room*
<Seraphna> **ANgela muses, then pulls out her datapad and gets something set up, walking in behind Cheryl**
<Xanatos> <Xan> So, we're going to try to do a little bait and switch, but expect it to fall apart. You all should probably get some rest.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I can rest after this is over
<DeathStar> *at that moment, alarms go off as the Tsivrixsh and Sommelier Dark Ones arrive*
<Seraphna> Angela> Okay, Montana's backup got the prep work done. I can help, but it'll have to be distant.
<DeathStar> *the Dark One Ships look normal, but there must be some trick to them*
<DeathStar> *they begin to head for the PAX2 which is the bait*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> I wish the Empress and Erevis was out and about.
<DeathStar> *Adeline arrives in the war room and takes her seat*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> So how close do we let them get to the bait?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Halfway between their entry and the ship.
<Xanatos> Then we close in around behind them.
<Xanatos> (Xan)
<ChadWinters`> And if they don't take the bait?
<Jackieness> <Noire> *strides into the war room, looking testy*
<DeathStar> *the Dark Ones continue to approach, and then with a good roll they seem to continue to approach, reaching the halfway point*
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh ships, though, remain back a bit*
<Seraphna> **Jaime takes a seat** They should, we made it a tasty situation.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Well, we could take out the dark one ship and fight the Tsiv straight up?
<Seraphna> Angela> Hmm... whatever you're doing, I'll ready for the Tsiv. Them I know my horde can help with.
<ChadWinters`> If Angela is confident enough in that, then we might as well make our move Durran.
<DeathStar> *Lenneth begins to bring the PAX and the Iron Paw and other suisen Ships around like ordered*
<Seraphna> **Angela keeps working, having started to reroute the Epsilon from it's hidden place to them**
<DeathStar> <Athena> Alright, Reikana into Pod #1, Thena into Pod #2, Vict, you're on standby when one of them gets exhausted. Get ready to sing when the battle starts
<Xanatos> 6* Xan nods and sends the order and begins to move in to pin in the dark one ship with the fleet.
<Seraphna> **Thena hops into her pod with glee**
<DeathStar> *suddenly the Dark One ships stop*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *climbs into idol pod 1*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> They are no longer advancing
<Seraphna> Jaime> That's not good. I'd think...
<Jackieness> <Noire> *watches the screen, arms crossed and frowning a bit*
<DeathStar> *the Dark One Ships begin to glow*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Hang on to something, it's acting weird.
<Seraphna> Jaime> What're they doing? Going Darkspace again?
<ChadWinters`> ...Durran attack now.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> The ships' power readings are going off the scale
<Xanatos> 6* Xan glances to see if they're in range to start opening fire.
<ChadWinters`> That or they're about to detonate.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> I am detecting all sorts of power - magic, spirit, dark power.
<Seraphna> Angela> They might plan to just jump past us and go right for Earth. That or it's an attack.
<DeathStar> *they are not quite in range*
<DeathStar> *if they were they'd be detected*
<ChadWinters`> That much power isn't for jumping.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Keep advancing?
<Seraphna> Jaime> They could be planning to do to the PAX2 what we plan to do to them...
<Xanatos> <Xan> What the hella are they thinking6* he eyes the scans looking for something on the ship that could condense that energy into a blast.
<Xanatos> (hell)
<ChadWinters`> I would assume planning on using the PAX as an example to fear.
<DeathStar> *it seems to be something new - likely Sommelier invention. It seems to be internal, gathering the power. A moment later the ships all have a canon emerge, like a living being opening a mouth and they fire on the other PAX*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Their power levels are dropping to nothing
<ChadWinters`> Attack now then.
<DeathStar> *The other PAX vanishes in classic DBZ smoke*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan blinks and advances within firing range to open fire.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Can't let that hit anyone else.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Good thing they shot the bait and not us...
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Yeah well now, if it is destroyed, we cna't blow it up
<Seraphna> **Angela taps a command then puts something on her head, leaning back and closing her eyes**
<DeathStar> *they are now in range*
<DeathStar> <Athena> Sing my pretties!
<Seraphna> **Thena starts to sing a lovely song, one in fact that doubles the damage of herself and her allies!**
<DeathStar> *Syriean gets into the gunner seat of the PAX and aims it at the ships*
<DeathStar> *Syiean even
<DeathStar> *The Dark One Ships take a moment, but slowly begin to turn to react, clearly reduced in power as they begin to take damage. the Iron Paw comes swooping in to attack*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *opens up with her song*
<ChadWinters`> Angela, have your people attack now.
<DeathStar> *two balls of song magic appear over the PAX*
<Seraphna> **A single ship exits Hyperspace behind the enemy fleets and a swarm of betas begin to launch out of it to start wrecking havoc among the Tsiv**
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh move to do battle with the Betas*
<Jackieness> <Myria> *dangles from an engineering, console, watching the aftermath of the second PAX going up* "Awwww... now we'll never solve the mystery!"
<Xanatos> 6* Xan starts sending instructions to the rest of the fleet, instructing everyone to focus on taking the dark one ship out.
<DeathStar> *The Dark One ships, begin to explode one by one*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Which one are you, Sommelier?"
<DeathStar> *but a few move forward, evading the attacks and coming closer to the PAX and return fire, managing to aim at the gaping holes of the PAX*
<DeathStar> *alarms going off*
<ChadWinters`> They're precise in their attacks.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> They have to be
<DeathStar> <Adeline> They can destroy us that way
<Seraphna> **Jaime watches quetly a they move in, then starts launching specks of dirt and rock in the space around them at the enemy ships, giving their shields way too much work to do**
<Xanatos> <Xan> ....
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Okie dokie!" *hops to another engineering console and rotates the shield frequencies over the gap areas*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Thank you, Myria
<Seraphna> **Angela seems asleep, though Cheryl would know her concentration is just entirely on the Betas, coordinating them and encouraging them**
<Xanatos> <Xan> *comm* Athena, your beautiful singing idols need to focus on the ships directly attacking us until we can pinpoint the big baddie.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Fire your song magic even if it's not fully ready
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *lets her song power explode outward*
<Seraphna> **Thena does a cat dance song that is Stunningly Cute, in fact, it's literally meant to stun and disable enemies!**
<Seraphna> **Thena fires!**
<DeathStar> *Reikana manages to wipe out several Dark One ships in front of the PAX and stun several more, Athena swapping Thena out with Victorie
<Seraphna> **Thena rests, recovering her super awesome Charisma powers**
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek moves to the main ship cannon, looking to see if he can boost it's power, even if it takes him out of commission for a while.
<DeathStar> *Drasek can indeed boost the battery to give it more power*
<Seraphna> **Sammael keeps blipping around Engineering, reinfocing things**
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek will do that to make himself useful.
<DeathStar> *The Dark Ones, their number reduced by more than half, begin to move off, scattering and moving behind the planet*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> They seem to be retreating
<Xanatos> <Xan> Careful in our pursuits, we need to find Sommelier. Any luck Noire?
<DeathStar> *as they do so, they leave behind something, but there's nothing there in the visible eye. Someone joins them on the bridge*
* ChadWinters` keeps an eye on the planet to see if there's changes on it.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Sommelier would do a full withdrawal and abandon his Tsivirxsh allies if he did not have something in his sleeve."
<DeathStar> *the Tsivrixsh meanwhile seem to be annoyed with betas - finding it honorless*
<Seraphna> **Jaime is reaching out to start hurling rock spears from the planet at them, pausing to look out into space with Noire's copy power**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *tries to feel out where Sommelier may have run off to*
<DeathStar> *Noire so far would not be able to find him - space is a big place*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> ...
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hey Andrea... is anything out there?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...nothing yet...assuming he even showed up himself."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> There's a lot of dark energy going on right now.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan glances to the new arrival, then look back to the scans, do they pick up the think that was left behind
<Seraphna> **Angela keeps up the assault, honorless or not she knows Tsiv warships and uses it to her advantage**
<DeathStar> *Andrea crosses her arms, having shown up*
<ChadWinters`> If he's with, he'll most likely be at a distance to watch everything happen.
<Seraphna> Jaime> If he hasn't left he's got a plan and it's in motion.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Wonder if he's on one of those Tsiv ships.
<ChadWinters`> Or a long range scanning ship.
<DeathStar> *the scans seem to be in a jumbo mess of dark,spirit readings, magic readings*
<DeathStar> *all it can tell is the Dark One ships left something behind before hiding*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Do we pursue?
<Seraphna> Jaime> There's something out there.
<Seraphna> Jaime> If we go after them I feel like it'll set off.
<DeathStar> *Imugem muses on the Iron Paw*
<DeathStar> *comming the PAX* <Imugem> Do you want us to go?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Those readings indicate one of their rituals.
<Seraphna> Jaime> No we'd be safer sending an unmanned shuttle.
<Xanatos> <Xan> I need some guidance here, any clue what they left behind? For all we know it's a massive gravity well.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Hm. I could take myself out there using the dark energy and take a look
<DeathStar> <Andrea> While Noire keeps looking
<DeathStar> <Andrea> If I can clear up the stuff they've left she might could detect him
<Seraphna> Jaime> Be careful... if he left a trap spell or something it no doubt was meant to deeply cripple or destroy whatever touches it. Or worse.
<ChadWinters`> Noire, focus away from both enemy fleets.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *tries to sense out away from the fleets...*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...something is blinding me."
<DeathStar> *again, since the PAX is in the middle of all the crap, Noire can't locate him*
<Seraphna> Ulieah> I want an Idol Cannon too.
<DeathStar> *Lenneth eyes the readings* Something is happening on the other side of the planet
<Seraphna> Jaime> Should we back out of all this and take a look around?
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> I'm picking up readings like what happened to the other PAX
<ChadWinters`> That's what I was worried about. Can any of the other ships get there?
<Xanatos> <Xan> I thought it was destroyed?
<Seraphna> Jaime> So they're charging another attack to take us out.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> I mean they're about to attack us with that weapon
<ChadWinters`> Firing through the planet most likely.
<Xanatos> (Oh I read that wrong)
<DeathStar> <Imugem> I could fly there like I offered
<Seraphna> Angela> I could maybe redirect the Epsilon, but that would leave the Tsiv unoccupied.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Damnit, alright. *comm* Athena, ready yourselves, we might have to fight off a big attack.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...I need a glass of water."
<DeathStar> *Athena nods and turns to Reikana and Vict* Be ready. *she motions to Thena to give her water*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I'm ready."
<Seraphna> **Thena gives her super water**
<Xanatos> <Xan> Epsilon is unmaned? I'm moving the fleet to the tsiv, bring them around to help potentially stop or divert this attack.
<ChadWinters`> Xan, have Imugum head towards the other side and see what's going on for sure.
<Seraphna> Angela> It's being piloted by a Beta under my control.
<DeathStar> *Imugem takes the Iron Paw forward*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Imugum, Chad' right, we need eyes on.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Be ready to flee.
<ChadWinters`> Xan, can you fire a shot at whatever they dropped?
<Seraphna> **Ulieah looks worried, but starts prepping emergency teleports in case the Paw winds up the next to get blasted**
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *drinks the water to recover her throat*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan nods to Angela and diverts the fleet to engage with the Tsiv.
<DeathStar> *at first the ship moves toward the planet just fine, then it crosses over one of those spaces that they can't see but the readings are there; there's a massive black hole of magic/spirit energy surrounding a moment later*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...soem sort of singularity trap!"
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> The Iron Paw is being eaten away
<Seraphna> Jaime> I said it'd be there.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> The entire area is littered with those bombs
<ChadWinters`> Noire, can you create one to counter there's enough to let them escape?
<Seraphna> **Ulieah chants a summon, summoning Death tohelp push them to safety**
<Xanatos> <Xan> Shit. Let's try to get hold of them with a tractor beam as well.
<DeathStar> *it pushes them a bit, but not enough*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Maybe... but there could be more out there."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I'll go, Noire save your strength for the enemy
<DeathStar> *she warps out*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "..yes...mother..."
<DeathStar> *Andrea gets a 1 and puts her power into doing an anti-dark attack and blasts the mine, freeing what remains of the Iron Paw; it floats there, sparking*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan uses the tractor to bring them into the hanger.
<DeathStar> *Andrea warps back, leaning on the console as the Iron Paw's remains are brought back*
<Seraphna> **Leyaeh hops on a teleporter over to the Iron paw, a short moment later holes in the ship are being close with red crystal**
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> The Iron Paw has been retrieved.
<Seraphna> **Jaime mumbles to herself about having warned about that**
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Charting a course to avoid the mines, but only a great pilot can manage it
<DeathStar> <CHIP> OR you can try to blow them all up
<ChadWinters`> Durran, I can back you up.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Finally one of my children have the opportunity to surpass me.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Why not pull a Momma Meg Manuver?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Which one, Jaime?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Dark Matter Bomb to destroy all those black hole bombs.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> The gun?
<ChadWinters`> I thought we were saving that for their main fleet.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Ooooo! Maybe dumping raw hyperspace will work too!"
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> I say we have minutes left.
<DeathStar> *she shows the screen*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hmm...
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> The enemy will fire soon
<Xanatos> <Xan> I'm ready to fly, unless you think it'll work Myria.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Can any of us pump out like that though?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Wind maybe.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl looks up from eyeing the battle*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Drasek
<ChadWinters`> Times running out. Durran, take control and I'll back you up.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Well... it could cost not having enough hyperspace elft to fire our big gun." *pokes out her tongue*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan hmms and takes the controls, moving to fly it
<DeathStar> *Prepare yourself*
* ChadWinters` eyes shift to a silver as he brings up data infront of him

<DeathStar> *The PAX's boosters kick in and they move through the mines, avoiding them as they near the planet and kick in around it, where the Dark One ships are still aiming where they were*
<ChadWinters`> Open fire.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Athena, blast their asses.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I think now would be a great time for a song or two.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Idols!
<DeathStar> <Athena> LAUNCH YOUR SONGS!
<Xanatos> 6* Xan also has the regular guns open up as well.
<DeathStar> *Syiean fires at the Dark One Ships*
<Seraphna> **Thena uses her own song despite not being in the machine, to bolster the two**
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek keeps pumping up the main cannon battery.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *breaks out into her next song!*
<Alicia> * Victoire busts out her song
<Seraphna> **The three betas that broke off from the 100 hit their afterburners and start flying for the cannon**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *tries to find Sommelier again, this time without the dark traps interfering*
<DeathStar> *The main canon blows up a few Dark Ones ships and the songsfire out and wipe out more ships. The Idol Machines drain the idols of their power to perform the super song as the song magic combines to make one massive one that takes out multiple ships, leaving just a few after main guns and the smaller guns. Noire then finds him - on the planet but not the surface, floating in the clouds*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "You cheeky... he's in the atmosphere!"
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh begin to approach the PAX from behind, opening fire and draining their shields rpaidly*
<DeathStar> *Right as the remaining 4 Dark One ships begin to fly at them in a suicide run*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> The enemy has gone berserk
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Good job
<ChadWinters`> Death run. Take them out. Angela, I thought you had the Tsiv locked down?
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Oh, hard break and they might shoot each other! Pew pew!"
<DeathStar> *A gear launches and it's fists glow, punching at a Dark One Ship as it nears the PAX*
<Seraphna> **Angela closes her eyes and actually cries a bit as some of her betas start playing really dirty, crashing into the helms of Tsiv ships and self detonating, Kamikaze runs**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I want to go after him..."
<DeathStar> *damaging it*
<DeathStar> *Angela blows up some of the Tsivrixsh Ships*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Unknown Gear is in play
<Seraphna> Angela> I did, but they're also going all in.
<ChadWinters`> We can and will, we just need to make sure none damage us enough that we can't.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Myria, keep our shield ont he Tsiv side, we'll focus on the dark ones until we can wipe them out and divert. 6* He keeps firing with Sy.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Noire, go after Sommelier if you want, I think you're meant to do that.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Shields double-back!"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I need a shuttle then."
<DeathStar> *Syiean works on the remaining Dark Ones as the Tsivrixsh that came out to play work on damaging their shields. Andrea warps Noire to the hanger*
<Seraphna> **Sammael appears by the shield units and starts to directly add more power to them**
<Xanatos> <Xan> *comm* Take mine, I can remote pilot it if you get in a jam.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves to board Xan's shuttle to go after Sommelier*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I guess I'll help you. I'm pretty useless here.
<Seraphna> Jaime> **gets up to head after Noire**
<DeathStar> *The Gear, the PAX, and the firing takes out the remaiing few Dark One ships. The Gear floats there as just the Tsivrixs ships are left. They float back to rejoin their own fleet*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> The Tsivrixsh are falling back and regrouping
<Xanatos> <Xan> ANyone got an ID of this gear? 6* He brings up their scans of it.
<DeathStar> *It seems to be Yuki, who
<Jackieness> <Noire> *takes the shuttle out to go after Sommelier*
<DeathStar> *It seems to be Yuki, who's still in her hospital gown*
<ChadWinters`> Wasn't focused on it. 6Keeps tabs on Sommeliers position
<Seraphna> **Angela nods, and suddenly the remaining Betas also seem to fall back as well as the Tsiv regroup**
<DeathStar> *As Noire nears the planet, a dark storm grabs the shuttle and it vanishes*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Shit. 6* He tries to get a remote connection to this shuttle.
<DeathStar> *Xanatos would detect there seems to be something on the planet - it might evenbe able to land there*
<DeathStar> *in the atmosphere*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> should we send a team?
<Seraphna> Angela> Did Noire go alone? I thought I heard Jaime going after her.
<ChadWinters`> It wouldn't be a bad idea to send a back up team now
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> She did rush off quickly. I'm not sure if anyone else made it on with her.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Yeah she may need backup.
<Seraphna> Angela> Still, yes we should send backup.
<DeathStar> *Lenneth sends out a call for a team to go after Sommelier*
<Seraphna> **Ulieah pops in** Did someone say butt kicking? Gemmy is gonna be repairing the ship for a while.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan tries to see if Noire is still controlling the shuttle or if he should step in and land it.
<DeathStar> *the shuttle seems to be being held by some force - he could force control if he worked at it*
<DeathStar> *Ren arrives at the hanger*
<Seraphna> Angela> "I've got to remain immobile to keep the Epsilon going."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Show yourself, Sommelier! Enough of your games!"
<Xanatos> 6* Xan starts to do that, meanwhile Marcus is leaning on his Gear, glances up at the message from Lenneth and moves to join that team.
<ChadWinters`> I'll send an Idlet to keep tabs on them for us.
<Alicia> * Charlotte arrives at the hangar shortly after
<DeathStar> <Ren> I wonder if Noire will have have saved anything for us by the time we get there
<DeathStar> *Athena works on resting her idols before they can use the idol machine again*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "She's got quite the appetite."
<Seraphna> **Ulieah heads to the hangar again, Tabetha joining them a short time after**
* ChadWinters` begins bringing up damage reports and creating a priority list
<ChadWinters`> 6An Idlet floats in the hanger waiting.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *takes a break* "...I hope my sister didn't do anything too crazy..."
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh fleet seems to be preparing something*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> They better hurry to the planet. The battle is about to resume
<Seraphna> Thena> Knowing her she's already trying to punch Sommybeer.
<Seraphna> **Ulieah gets everyone on board to go**
<ChadWinters`> Durran, the Tsiv fleet's preparing their second assault.
<DeathStar> *after thegroup takes off(We can add people to it later), and flies toward the planet. Yuki flies her Gear alongwith the shuttle and as they near the planet, a dark hand grabs them and pulls them in right as the Tsivrixsh begin to fly in, Dark Energy emitting from their ships*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> The Tsivrixsh ships have transformed
<Xanatos> 6* Xan hmms and tries to see if they coudl tractor beam the dark one mines, aiming to throw one in the midst of the Tsiv ships.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Huuuuuuuh! Now they are going to fight dirty."
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> We also have lost contact with the second Sommelier team.
<Xanatos> <Xan> We just have to trust them to overcome.
<ChadWinters`> We can potentially use their mines to our advantage. Keep them between us and fight at a distance.
<DeathStar> *The PAX does indeed tractor the mine, but the second it happens, it explodes and the PAX is jolted, the tractor beam having a rippling effect that goes back into the PAX*
<DeathStar> *alarms go off*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Fuckers.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Hm, it might be possible to do that but we'd have to becareful
<Xanatos> <Xan> Careful how?
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Countering tractor feedback!"
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Outside the damage we did to ourselves, we did damage to the area. We could blow them up and damage ourselves, or maybe get lucky and just them
<Jackieness> <Myria> *taps on one of the engineering consoles*
<ChadWinters`> Are there any mines behind us?
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Theer's mines everywhere
<Seraphna> **Sammael, dark hair frazzled, mumbles curses as she reinforces the shields again**
<ChadWinters`> If we detonate the ones furthest away from us, and closest to them we could try and escape the resulting wave
<Xanatos> <Xan> Fleet, move around behind the tsiv and pincer them. We just have to hold out until the fleet overcomes.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Understood
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Xanatos> <Xan> Myria if you can throw a few dark one mines -Shifted
<DeathStar> Location: Kumen
<DeathStar> *Ymir has the team gathered, beside the Aquarius*
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Listen, I know most of you will be staying here and on Geyze
<DeathStar> <Ymir> I will be too
<DeathStar> <Ymir> But I just got word the Tsivrixsh Fleet flew past and are leaving for Earth. I'm sending the Aquarius in to help out.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Does anyone else want to go help Earth?
<Seraphna> Cookie> Huzzah.
<DeathStar> *Cypher rubs her head* I guess I can take the Mew Mew
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I will resume command responsibilities aboard the Aquarius."
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Also, there are rumors the time gate might be MIA. I will be looking into this while you're all gone.
<Seraphna> Luci> So we didn’t blow them all up?
<Xanatos> <Pepper> There's a time gate?
<Xanatos> <Pepper> You all get up to some weird hijinks.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Don't look at me.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> The Spirits said they will help if called upon while at Earth.
<Seraphna> Luci> Sone of the Academy people went back in time to some super old war.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Yes. A team associated with the Alliance traveled through the gate to explore what era is on the other side. If the gate has been taken, then they will not be able to safely return."
<DeathStar> *Cypher enters the Mew Mew and powers it up* We will have to make sure we find the Gate if the Tsivrixsh did take it
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Good luck everyone
<DeathStar> *she steps off the roof*
<DeathStar> *Mirei looks at the group* Ready?
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper nods and moves to get on the Aquarius
<DeathStar> <Cypher> See you all at Earth
<Seraphna> **Cookie follows Pepper**
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Lemon's Manor
<DeathStar> *Lemon eyes the console, where it shows the entire Tsivrixsh Fleet has finally begun to progress toward Earth and will be here within the hour*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> So, should we go report to Dias?
<Xanatos> <Kane> Yes, we must.
<DeathStar> *Lemon nods and gives orders to Vesta and the others as she stands up* I don't know a lot about space combat.
<DeathStar> *as she heads for the teleporter*
<Seraphna> Reese> Well Dad’s bound to have been preparing.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Nor do I. I requested aid but it would appear the others are all having issues and will help when they can...so we may be on our own. 6* He steps onto the teleporter*
<Seraphna> **Reese steps with them**
<DeathStar> *They arrive at the Presidental Tower where Stacey is ontwo comms, one on each, giving orders and trying to maintain the situation; it seems she is giving Admirals orders on what to do*
<DeathStar> *On the roof Cypher and the Aquarius can be heard landing*
<DeathStar> <Stacey> I want you to strengthen our forces and prepare for the invasion. And our grand forces need to be ready for a protracted fight
<DeathStar> *Stacey turns to Kane and Lemon, putting the comms down* Kane. Do you have a plan onhow to deal with this?
<Seraphna> Peter> I’ve dusted off our Syberian base, the Tsiv usually don’t target civilians, but you’d be safer there.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Hm, we can attempt to overcome them with smaller reploid boarding parties. But ultimately we may want to dig in as best we can and hold out until our allies can arrive as backup.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias kicks open a side door, looking like he just gone done fighting. 1"Like a way to embiggen my fist so I can punch the entire enemy fleet in one move?
<DeathStar> *Stacey eyes Dias, perhaps for once annoyed*
<DeathStar> <Stacey> So you don't think our fleets can win?
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Of course they can, but if I can do their work with one punch, no one threaten us again.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Last time we overcame them with Dragoons, I am hoping to replicate that success witht he reploids.
<DeathStar> *Cypher comes downstairs and eyes Dias* ... I'm going bck to Geyze
<DeathStar> *she turns around*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Oooh. A new person.
<DeathStar> *Stacey gets in touch with Cran*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Are you sure you want to send the Reploids in by themselves? Might give them the wrong impression on what we think of them.
<Seraphna> Luci> Oi, we’ve been flying enough.
<DeathStar> <Stacey> I will have General Cran prepare his reploids
<DeathStar> <Cypher> *turns to Airym* I have a bad feeling about this
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Where do you want us?
<Xanatos> 6* Kane also has a battle map outlined with multiple layers of ships all with different specialities. At the rear are artillery ships, weak shields but very powerful and long range. a middle layer of support ships, providing repair drones at medium defense and regular ships with their regular shields and cannons, and then a front layer of beefier ships with high shields and armor but little in the way of fire power.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "We will assist in any capacity."
<DeathStar> *Stacey eyes the map*
<Seraphna> **Peter has a quiet talk with Reese, Peter in his full uniform**
<Xanatos> <Kane> We essentially need to use our front line to hold defense while the support ships keep them alive, then the artillery ships will be the majority of the damage we produce and then our normal fleet attackers will support and fends off as needed.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias coughs as he eyes the battle map. 1"Why didn't we have any of our other generals provide us something like this?
<DeathStar> <Stacey> It's a shame so many of the dragoons are elsewhere.
<DeathStar> <Stacey> I'm going to have to pull the NGDs into the battle
<DeathStar> *Stacey contacts several and pulls them into active service*
<Xanatos> <Kane> Yes. We will need all the help we can get. Cypher your allies do your best when left to your own devices so support and attack however you see fit. If something changes we will have comms.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Might as well talk to the NGW's.
<Seraphna> **Peter frowns at that**
<Seraphna> **The calling in NGDs that is**
<DeathStar> *Cypher nods and peers at Airym* I guess that means we're doing what we want
<DeathStar> *Eluere and Curali eye their comms*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Then targets of opportunity, it is."
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Hmmm...Who else can we pull in for this?
<DeathStar> <Stacey> I've called X and her family
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Could ask the other Weapons to see if they want to help.
<Seraphna> Peter> Keeping Vod on medical emergency.
<DeathStar> <Stacey> Okay. Good luck everyone
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Battle 1: Aquarius and Mew Mew
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh Fleet approaches Earth in massive numbers, coming at the Earth Ships to overwhelm them; the Fleet puts up a valiant fight to begin with*
<DeathStar> *but there is something off about the ships
<DeathStar> <Mirei> ... *sinks into her spirit chamber*
<DeathStar> *The Earth ships seem to be doing minimal damage to the Tsivrixsh ships as the battle continues, though they do manage to take one or two down by ganging up, Earth is losing more than they are winning*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Why do I get the feeling those incidents with the zombie attacks screwed with the fleet?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Give me sensor sweeps of Tsiv vessels."
<DeathStar> <Mirei> Sweeping. *she boosts the scans*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> This is seriously messed up.
<DeathStar> *the Tsivrixsh ships come up on the screen and it shows they are powered by something similiar to the Dark Spirits/gems, like Kyouki, giving them a massive power*
<DeathStar> <Mirei> They are dark powered.
<DeathStar> <Mirei> Earth stands no chance
<Seraphna> Cookie> Can we do something about it?
<DeathStar> <Mirei> Maybe having something of a similiar nature
<Seraphna> Cookie> Like the Light Rune’s spirit?
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh continue to lose 1 ship to every 4 EarthGov ships*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "They must have acquired additional enhancements from the Dark One remnant they have been dealing with. Send this information to Earth and the PAX."
<DeathStar> <Mirei> Maybe if every EarthGov Ship had a light rune
<DeathStar> *Mirei does so, sending it to Kane and then the PAX*
<DeathStar> <Mirei> I believe we can do damage though
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Well let's get to it and hope they figure it out.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Is there any means of dirupting the spirit energy powering their enhancements?"
<Seraphna> Cookie> So let’s flank them and make a hole.
<DeathStar> <Mirei> I don't believe so. Not unless we had something of a similiar nature
<Seraphna> Cookie> Where is the Light Rune?
<DeathStar> *The Mew Mew flies ahead and fires on the Tsivrixsh shoots and spins about going Mewwww*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Get their attention and prepare to draw them after us. If we cna divert any atatckign ships, that will buy the defense fleet time."
<DeathStar> <Mirei> I meant more in alignment with them, then we could exploit it*
<DeathStar> <Mirei> Though a light rune would make us immune
<Seraphna> Cookie> Oh! **she muses and sends a message to the PAX**
<Seraphna> Cookie> We have better than a Dark Rune.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> We do?
<Seraphna> Cookie> Kyo.
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh begin to fire at the Aquarius*
<DeathStar> *trying to overwhelm them*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Evasive maneuvers."
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper fires back as they begin to evade.
<DeathStar> *while the Mew Mew has gone ahead to do attack hit and run moves*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Just asked them to get—- **already moving the ship**
<Xanatos> <Pepper> What can she do? Could she like, take away their dark one shit or something?
<DeathStar> *the Tsivrixsh is hit and sparks as they chase the Aquarius around the board*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Pull them away."
<Seraphna> Cookie> **using ace of spades to keep ahead** Probably.
<DeathStar> Battle 2: (You can still do the previous group)
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Relay that message Mirei, tell them that Kyouki can probably suck off their dark energy or something.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Wait don't say suck off. Say uh...Absorb.
<Seraphna> **Cookie snickers**
<DeathStar> *Cran stands by Lemon and Kane as the Reploids are in space in their own ships. Blue eyes Cole as they deal with the Tsivrixsh*
<DeathStar> <Blue> I feel like we're not doing enough damage here
<Seraphna> **Angel stands near Cran wearing her sunglasses**
<Xanatos> <Cole> Stories always told that they were strong but never this strong. Something is wrong. They have new...tech or something.
<DeathStar> <Cran on comms> If the Aquarius is correct, you're not. You will have to rely on evasion
<DeathStar> <Lemon> This is not good. We're losing forces too fast.
<Xanatos> <Kane> At this rate we will be wiped out, we must determine a way to balance the scales.
<DeathStar> *Blue super charges her ship's gun to blow up a ship*
<Seraphna> Angel> We need the runes right?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I think Erevis has them
<DeathStar> <Lemon> But it would only protect one ship
<Xanatos> 6* Cole is doing his best to keep them ahead of enemy fire.
<Seraphna> Angel> I’ll be back then. Even one makes a difference.
<Seraphna> **Angel vanishes in a teleport**
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Try to find Kyou---
<DeathStar> <Lemon> ... Ah.
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh keep pushing closer to Earth, where the defense systems begin to attack their ships*
<Xanatos> <Kane> I remember in a past battle we used teleporters and wareheads to send explosions into ships but it required disabling their shield.
<Seraphna> Peter> I hate how she does that.
<Xanatos> (warheads)
<DeathStar> *as Kane says that, a figure is up in space without a suit, holding something similiar to a nuclear warhead*
<Seraphna> Peter> Angel left her kids with us. So we have ripples if that helps.
<Xanatos> <Kane> ...can we get eyes on that being?
<DeathStar> *approaching a cluster of tsivrixsh ships8
<DeathStar> *Lemon tries; it looks to be Zephyr, who remained home*
<Seraphna> Peter> What the shit?
<DeathStar> *a bunch of NGDs are covering her as Zephyr aims her dragoon buster to try to pierce the shields of the lead one*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> That isn't going to work
<Xanatos> <Kane> Hm. Let us try to support them at the very least.
<DeathStar> *Zephyr redoes an ability point and fires again*
<DeathStar> *Blue heads to aid Zephyr*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane has some of their artillery lay into the main ship's shields as well.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole takes over firing as the control pivots to blue and he also tries to assist.
<DeathStar> *the shields finally go down and Zephyrchunks the nuclear warhead int othe side of the ship and then fires at it, once everyone is clear and blows up the ships, sending Zephyr tumbling*
<DeathStar> <Mirei> Detonation
<Seraphna> Peter> Someone get her.
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh seem to be mostly focused on the defensive system of Earth, trying to take out the guns there*
<DeathStar> <Mirei> If that drops, they can invade Earth
<DeathStar> *Blue moves to pick up Zephyr before she spins off to nowhere*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Should we make passes there?
<Xanatos> 6* Cole snags at her with the tractor beam to bring her inside.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Let’s do it.
<Xanatos> <Cole> What a wreckless thing.
<DeathStar> <Blue> Agreed
<DeathStar> *Zephyr pants inside* Thanks
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper gets their cannons charged and ready for their run.
<DeathStar> *Mirei powers up the Aquarius*
<DeathStar> *Curali and Eluere helppower up the defense system to last longer*
<Xanatos> <Cole> Nice work but that was a little crazy. 6* He shouts to Zephyr as they redirect back to their skirmish.
<DeathStar> *suddenly the Aquarius' alarms go crazy*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Whoa whoa, what's that?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Report."
<DeathStar> *nd Cookie get an alert to dodge in her head*
<Alicia> * Kyouki heads in at last
<Seraphna> **Cookie dodges**
<DeathStar> *Lemon looks up at Kyouki as she arrives at the Presidental Tower*
<Seraphna> **Angel appearing with her, holding the Rune Blade**
<DeathStar> *a massive Tsivrixsh Ship arrives with Dark One technology all over it*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane glances over at an alarm going off, squinting.
<DeathStar> *it towers over all the other ships and it begins to hail all the Earth Ships*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "You need me?"
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Whoa. That...that's a nasty one.
<Xanatos> <Kane> We have a problem. 6* He pulls the hail up on the main screen.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias steps in from outside. 1"Something bad just came in."
<Jackieness> <Airym> "The Tsivirxsh are ever the masters of subtlety."
<DeathStar> <Kru'ul> This is Kru'ul, the fleet commander. Step down and avoid further blood shed.
<DeathStar> <Kru'ul> This is your only chance.
<DeathStar> *Lemon explains to Kyouki about the Dark Spirit tech in the ships* We're hoping if we send you up there you might can disable it in the ships
<Seraphna> Peter> A Tsivrixsh ship armed with the tools of the Ancient Enemy.
<DeathStar> *Lemon peers at Dias* I'm taking it we're not surrendering
<Xanatos> 6* Kane steps to the side, looking at Dias as well.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> No.
<DeathStar> *A few moments pass, and then the hail ends*
<Seraphna> Peter> I’d love to hear this guy try to say he has honor.
<DeathStar> *The massive ship begins to charge and aims it at the planetary defense system*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias looks at Kyouki. 1"The next few moments will need you Kyouki."
<Seraphna> Angel> So… can this light rune help?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I don't know
<DeathStar> <Mirei> Warning, if that blast hits the defense system, it will be gone
<Xanatos> <Kane> Could it protect our defense system?
<DeathStar> <Blue> I think we should get away from here, Cole
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Not unless you could find a way to spread it everywhere.
<Xanatos> <Kane> A light infused defense system would be....useful.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Can you plug it into the system somehow?
<Xanatos> <Cole> Moving. That think's massive, we're in big trouble.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I don't know. Erevis just like stuck it on things
<Seraphna> **Angel shrugs, then teleports yo the defense system to stick it to the core**
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I'm not really light aligned but I could try to infuse it with my ki and try and spread it infront of their attacks.,
<DeathStar> *the massive ship fires at the defense system*
<DeathStar> *while Angel is there*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Oh dear
<Xanatos> 6* Kane blinks
<Seraphna> Angel> Now or never!
<Xanatos> 6* Kane leans forward to watch the screen, tense.
<DeathStar> *the entire defense system is hit and contact with Angel is cut off. Moments pass, then mini explosions are seen around the ring as a gun goes, then another, then another, then sparks from several mor as they power down*
<DeathStar> *but at least 60% remain online. Sadly, the rune looks warped*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Not a good sign."
<DeathStar> <Lemon> At least it's still in the fight
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias narrows his eyes. 1"Kyouki, can you do what they asked you to do?
<Xanatos> <Kane> Astounding.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I know I can disrupt things. Whether I can completely take it down, I'm not sure yet."
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Not trying means you'll never find out.
<Seraphna> Angel> Uhhhh… we’ll shit I think it’s stressed out. **if alive to say it**
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I can at least try."
<DeathStar> <Lemon> *nods* I'll take Kyouki up theer then, Kane
<DeathStar> -TBC (And yes Angel is alive)
<Xanatos> <Kane> Be careful.
