<DeathStar> Date: 10-641.5.16
<DeathStar> Location: Tsivrixsh Capital
* Sara has joined #TAW-Session525
<DeathStar> *Vesper's ship appears over the capital where quite a few Tsivrixsh battleships still remain in orbit as well as a few defenses. Amazo sits in the captain's chair, arms crossed and leaned back, much to Vesper's chargin, as they approach the planet and are immediately hailed*
<DeathStar> *Amazo waves a hand and hands* It is I, one of your elite Generals.
<DeathStar> *and answers bleh
<Alicia> * Celeste seems amused by this, understanding that this is just how Amazo is.
<Xanatos> <Valen> ... 6* he tries to keep off screen of the hail but is very deadpan about all that's happening.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *just shrugs but stays quiet*
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh pauses, peering and checking his face and getting his name* What is your business here, sir? <Amazo> To land on the planet. <Tsivrixsh> None may land on the planet at this time, not even one of your status. <Amazo> You wish to turn away one such as myself? *The Tsivrixsh ... pauses* You ... may stay in orbit if you wish until such a time as ... one such as yourself is allowed on the planet. *Amazo makes a gruntal sound and waves him off screen, turning to them* <Amazo> It seems they disrespect me. ... also they are up to something
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> It would appear so.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan sniffs** Yep. I can always confuse them if you want a Dark One to show up.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Maybe they figured out you were a fake Tsiv.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Seems like it. They wouldn't turn away someone of such high status unless they were."
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Which means something planet side is going on.
<DeathStar> <Amazo> I agree. *he nods to Durt*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Or maybe the others on the planet made their move, and there is fighting down there that they don't want anyone to know about."
<DeathStar> <Amazo> You may sit in seat of honor. *He lifts Vesper out of it*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> If I knew where the others were on the surface I might be able to port is down.
<DeathStar> <Vesper> Hey!
<Seraphna> *us
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I think we should try to run for the surface. <Rachael> And get shot down?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Oh the others are here? Maybe they're causing a ruckus and that's why there's a lockdown.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Can we bluff our way down?"
<DeathStar> *Lorelei paces thoughtfully*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I assume. Can you feel any of them
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> That's a likely scenario. Aren't there any marked in that group?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I doubt it if the false Emperor has reason to lock things down
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Yes. Michelle at least.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "If they found the real Kyun, then yeah."
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Lorelei should be able to feel them, correct? That would allow us a reference point to jump down there.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Alternatively they could be locked up and maybe sentenced to death having failed their mission like a bunch of slackers.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> It is quite the distance you're asking me
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Wasn't sure what the range on it is. Some people's abilities seem to stretch a galaxies distance.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Not like we can just teleport down randomly and hope to arrive in time."
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Ironically, considering teleportation."
<DeathStar> *Lorelei eyes the planet* There's something dark down there. Wrong
<Jackieness> <Moira> "If we had any of those guys, would we need to keep losing ships?"
<Seraphna> **Kaelan taps her foot and frowns, then feels out herself**
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Dark One dark, or worse?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> If it’s a hunter or Dark One I should…
<Alicia> <Celeste> "I'm going to hope it's just a Dark One, because... no offence, but I think we can take a Dark One."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "so what do you classify as worse then?"
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Perhaps. Anyway, Give me a moment. *she suddenly goes Kitsune, spreading her seven tails, her hand focused on the planet to find the marked one*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "... I don't know. I just know it'd be bad."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> ... *seems quiet, watching all of them, while Amazo snoozes*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Worse than dark ones? Children. 6* He winks, proud of his dumb joke.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Hah. Ha.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Exhibit one." *points at Valen himself*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen poses for a second the pauses.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "...wow. And there was me, trying not to downplay Dark Ones."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Wait...
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Alright, touch me.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *moves over to hang on to Lore*
<Alicia> * Celeste places her hand on Lorelei's shoulder
<Seraphna> **Kaelan touches**
<Xanatos> 6* Valen puts a hand on Lorelei's other shoudler.
<DeathStar> *Rachael touches her as does Mercy. Zegretta stays behind with Vesper*
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt does so
<DeathStar> *Lorelei glows a moment and the group appears in front of Kellin's group, right as Ako is pushing open the Council's doors, causing Ako to flail and fall in on them. The 13 Councilers, as well as Kyun and Thomas turn around to stare at the large group*
<DeathStar> <Ako> OW ow ow, what the hell?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Celeste.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin aims and almost fires, blinking before raising his gun.
<DeathStar> *He pushes his glasses up*
<Seraphna> Michelle> Well that’s one bloody way to get reinforcements.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Holy hell
<Alicia> <Celeste> "We made it."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Uh guys, we're in an odd place.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...shhhh...pretend we planned this, and its not actually embarassing."
<Alicia> <Asha> "I understand."
<DeathStar> *the 1st Rank Council Member stands up, pointing* <1st> This is who you turn to, Kyun? <Kyun> They are who I turned to after being replaced while you all followed a false Emperor these past few months
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **peers around** Palace. That’s the council and… wait how many Thomas’s are there exactly?
<DeathStar> <12th Rank> And how do we know you are not a fake?
<Seraphna> Michelle> That part’s easy.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Are there more than one?
<DeathStar> *The 12th and 1st eye Michelle*
<Seraphna> Michelle> We can sus out shapeshifters. Especially now.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Shhhhh... let them posture first."
<DeathStar> <Ka'pla> I expected the false Kyun or the traitor to attack by now
<DeathStar> *she whispers*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin shifts to step around the big group and get a look at the situation witht he councilers.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Where IS the fake emporer?
<DeathStar> <Kyun> I was hoping he'd attend this meeting so you all could join us and trap him.
<DeathStar> <Kyun> But you all were delayed
<DeathStar> <Kyun> But alas, he never came
<Xanatos> <Kellin> We were ambushed. Someone must have tipped him off.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I was almost certain Thomas was helping the Templars with the Erusian swarm…
<Jackieness> <Moira> *snudges* "Kaelan, feel any dark vibes around?"
<DeathStar> *Thomas raises an eyebrow*
<Seraphna> **Kaelsn blinks** Oh right… **she feels out for any Dark Ones or Hunters here**
<DeathStar> *Kaelan would feel massive dark vibes, enough to eat a planet*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> What the fuck!?
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Find them?"
<DeathStar> *Lorelei seems disturbed in the corner, looking around*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan looks around them**
<DeathStar> <Mercy> What is it?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> There’s enough Dark One energy here to eat a planet…
<Alicia> <Asha> "That's not good..."
<Xanatos> <Valen> As a professional, that sounds uh oh no no.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Can you pinpoint it exactly?
<DeathStar> <Kyun> .... *he eyes Kaelan, then the 12 men* I don't have time to play with you. Your false Emperor started a war while ressurecting you know what
<Seraphna> Kaelan> It’s like we’re standing in a Hive Ship… but how…?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> ....you know what?
<DeathStar> <Kyun> He played you all for a war you all wanted.
<DeathStar> <Kyun> Follow me
<DeathStar> *He tells the group*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "... oh no..."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...easy with the loud exclamations... negotiations still going on."
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Please tell me they wouldn't seed the planet..."
<DeathStar> <Ako> I think that's his way of saying fuck them
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Moira this feels like we’re standing on the Dark Emperor.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Dark Emperor?"
<DeathStar> *Kyun leads them out of the chambers, peering back* IF you know what is best for this Empire, call the war off in my name. It is an order.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin follows Kyun, Valen glances at Rachael and shrugs to follow as well.
<Jackieness> moira "Yeah, I get that... but we need to think tactically about this while the politicians do their thing."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Basically a God… it’s where Andrea got her power.
<DeathStar> *Thomas follows along, as does Rachael, Mercy, Ka'pla, and so on.*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Yeah, I get that... but we need to think tactically about this while the politicians do their thing."
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt eyes the 12 council members as he moves to follow Kyun
<Seraphna> **Kaelan and Michelle follow**
<DeathStar> <Kyun> I don't know about any Dark God, but how much do you all know about the previous Tsivrixsh/Earth War?
<DeathStar> <Kyun> It's one reason it allowed me to rise to power
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Wasn’t there something that came up that basically… well changed all priorities?
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Not much, to be honest."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "If everyone was sane, but since they can't feel what you can, they'll just say some BS about you trying to deceiving them into losing the war."
<DeathStar> <Kyun> The Dark Ones allied with the Tsivrixsh, but in the end they betrayed them and put something in the core of the planet deep down. *He arrives at a door that has been sealed with not Tsivrixsh markings, but Kitsune and other magics. It looks broken now*
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Interesting.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Hm. I recogize this.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Freyja had a hand in it
<Alicia> <Celeste> "... that sounds like a seed, yet probably not the same."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> No it’s worse…
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> So something was sealed here and they decided to say screw all and break it free.
<DeathStar> <Kyun> Deep in the planet was something and the Earth team defeated it. I don't know the details. Ever since them it's radiated dark energeries. If the Hunter went down there to do something
<Xanatos> <Kellin> This all seems...desperate.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What was supposed to be down there then?"
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Agreed, Kellin.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Does that mean the war is failing? Why else go to these lengths?
<Alicia> <Asha> "Maybe that was the plan all along?"
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> I imagine to enough of a point that they decided to say screw it.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Probably the plan is to wipe out both Earth and the Tsivrixsh
<Alicia> <Celeste> "That."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Yeah, maybe they never planned to let the Tsivirxsh win either."
<Xanatos> <Valen> No offense to all of us but do we need backup for this? I'm not sure we're ready to fight something the old farts defeated long ago and was threatened enough by that they sealed it away.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> .... I'm going
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Suddenly deeply wishing we had a Progenitor here.
<DeathStar> *she walks into the tunnels, forming foxfire for a light*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Should we call in Amazo?"
<Alicia> <Celeste> "None taken. It's a big responsibility."
<Xanatos> <Valen> ....Lore we....there she goes.
<Alicia> * Celeste hurries after.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> ... Hm. I admit I am curious what was down there
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> What more would you expect Valen? 6He moves after her
<DeathStar> *he follows after Celeste*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "OK, no tiem to call in help." *starts after Lore*
<Alicia> <Asha> "Guess we're going." *follows*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Fucking lunatics. All of us. 6* He shakes his head and moves after them.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Yeah someone get Amazo. But we gotta stop this. **she follows, Michelle frowns and radios Vesper’s ship**
<DeathStar> <Ka'pla> I'll wait here. If *untranslated word* comes out, I'll slam the door shut
<Alicia> <Asha> "If who comes out?" <Celeste> "Or what."
<Xanatos> <Kellin> ... 6* He looks at Ako and Michelle for a moment then moves in after the others.
<Seraphna> Michelle> I’ll be able to follow. Be careful.
<DeathStar> *Ako follows after Kellin, glancing back with glowing cat eyes for a moment, as she vanishes into the darkness*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Date: 19,966 5.16
<DeathStar> Location: Kumen (Scene A)
<DeathStar> *Gwen paces at the camp fire with Talia and Lana when Shade returns*
<DeathStar> <Shade> Are you three ready to return to Geyze?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "BIX isn't back yet."
<Seraphna> Alita> I think we’re staying. If they are all going.
<Seraphna> **Alita nods towards the upset Gwen and Talia growing more upset**
<DeathStar> <Shade> I could not find him
<Seraphna> Alita> And that’ll be Lana wanting to stay to find him. I guess we go to the others?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "What?" *looks at the others* "...do you think he already had the ehad incident?"
<Seraphna> Alita> We know it has to get to the cave somehow.
<Seraphna> Alita> We just don’t know when.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Right... so he should be safe until we get to the cave."
<Seraphna> Talia> BIX strong!
<Seraphna> Alita> Well Gwen, shall we go give late help?
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Wait, so we're staying?
<Seraphna> Alita> I don’t need mind magic to see the regret in each of your faces.
<DeathStar> *Talia
<DeathStar> <Gwen> So how do we even catch up to the others?
<Seraphna> Talia> We stay and fight then… long as we with Gwen.
<Seraphna> **Alita looks to Shade**
<DeathStar> *Shade shrugs* I'll see if I can find them.
<DeathStar> *Shade motions them to touch her*
<Seraphna> **Alita does so, Talia reaching out a paw**
<Jackieness> <Lana> *after a moment, then reaches out to Shade as well*
<DeathStar> *Shade warps them out; ironically moments before a piece of a Temple ship crashes right where they were*
<DeathStar> (Scene B)
<DeathStar> *Aska arrives meanwhile with the others further into Kumen, where Gaia and Gale join them. The sky is full of Temple Ships and the 9 remaining Croza Ships seem to be trying to get down low to avoid being blasted.*
<DeathStar> <Celes> .... *she watches* ... *however, there does seem to be one difference in the sky, a massive temple ship seems to be being constructed, glowing with ancient and spirit energy, rising up above Kumen. At the same time, smaller Temple Ships are being sent to Geyze, likely to do retalitory strikes on the cities there since the Spirtis are here*
<DeathStar> <Celes> ....I think we're nearing the end.
<DeathStar> *Celes muses, wondering if she should order Gale to get Sophia off the planet lest Ellie die*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon's face is tight as he watches this.
<DeathStar> <Aska> ...*the light spirit seems to be wondering if she should just go all out*
<Xanatos> <Simon> That massive ship...how is it being built?
<DeathStar> <Aska> I assume it is being built with the Croza's building technology; it allows them to rapidly build whatever it is they need if they have the materials for it
<DeathStar> <Aska> It seems they are using it to build some sort of fortress in the iar
<DeathStar> *Air
<DeathStar> <Gale> I could try to destroy it with Gaia
<DeathStar> *Shade appears a few moments later, holding her packages*
<DeathStar> *right as a Croza ship crashes in the distance*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I'd say it was cheating, but..."
<Seraphna> Alita> Well that wasn’t so bad I think… oh my is that where we were?
<DeathStar> <Shade> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> ... ungh
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...if I had stayed to wait for Bix, I'd be roadkill!"
<DeathStar> <Celes> This has gone on long enough. Gale - can you take Ellie and Sophia back to Geyze?
<Seraphna> Talia> That must of cost Talia one of her 99 lives!
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "...glad you made it."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Do you think we could have stopped it if we had damaged the structure? Tch, figures...
<DeathStar> *Gale pauses, then nods, touching the two and vanishing*
<DeathStar> <Celes> Ellie can use the portal back to the present
<DeathStar> *she whispers*
<DeathStar> <Aska> I do not know. It might still be possible to stop it if we could get inside. ...
<Xanatos> <Simon> It may be wise to get all of the heroes back to Geyze, if there are any remaining here.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Their lines cannot end here, we must ensure that.
<Seraphna> **Alita blinks a bit, hand going to her stomach and frowns a little**
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Bix would be there too, right?"
<DeathStar> *she eyes the massive temple growing bit by bit, taking parts from here and there*
<Seraphna> Talia> If that where the corruption is.
<DeathStar> <Aska> Hm. If it takes a piece from his area yes
<DeathStar> *Gaia moves to find all the heroes and take them back to Geyze*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ummm.. is it a good idea to let Gaia go off alone?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> We need our heavy hitters here
<Xanatos> <Simon> We must preserve what we know.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Gaia and Gale can do much, we cannot stop them of that.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "We must do what we can."
<DeathStar> *Neekito peers to the temple*
<Seraphna> Alita> Let then make the difference they were meant to make.
<DeathStar> <Neekito> We need a way in then. I assume it will block spirit teleports
<DeathStar> <Aska> Yes.
<Xanatos> <Simon> To minimize damage...yes we need to stop that large temple. I feel that is what our objective should be.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Are there any grounded pyramid ships still in fligth ready condition?"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I haven't seen any but we can try to catch a ride with our... few remaining allies
<DeathStar> *Aska and Shade touch the group* <Shade> Then let us do that
<DeathStar> <Aska> Everyone ready?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Lets go then."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "If we hd more time in the factory place, Simon and I could probably whip upa ride..."
<Jackieness> <Lana> *reaches out to go with the others this time*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon nods to Aska.
<Seraphna> Talia> Flying cat squad engage!
<DeathStar> *the group appears on a Croza ship where they are trying to battle the hundreds of enemy ships; Chronos is there, leaning on her staff, as the Croza seem to barely notice them at first*
<DeathStar> <Croza> We are down to 7 ships. They seem to not care how many they lose. They are also razing portions of Geyze's cities in an attempt to make us return and defend them
<DeathStar> <Croza 2> It seems two spirits are protecting the cities.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Of course, they can just build more suits and more ships. We must stop that.
<Seraphna> Alita> This is the old cut off the head addage.
<DeathStar> *the Croza finally notice them* <Croza> Good Simon sir
<Xanatos> <Simon> The large ship they are building, once complete will have the power to stop all of your ships. Is there nothign we can do to disrupt the build process?
<DeathStar> *The Croza seem to debate amongst themselves* Stopping the process is not possible unless inside. The problem is how to be being inside
<ChadWinters`> <Id> If we can get inside it we should be able to stop it, correct?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Really, isn't building the supership a bit of an extravagance since they are already winning?"
<Seraphna> Talia> Can we scratch a hole open?
<DeathStar> <Celes> I guess we put some fear into them. *she doesn't seem to believe it*
<DeathStar> *as more temples split up, some to Geyze, and more after them, their own temple shakes and warning lights go off* We can attempt to have all our ships attack the ship while it is still building and try to stop the building process just enough that it can be damaged for a hole
<Xanatos> <Simon> Perhaps they tire of conflict and want a decisive end. We must be able to form enough of a hole for us to enter though.
<DeathStar> *Neekito crosses her arms*
<DeathStar> *the 7 remaining Croza ships begin to advance*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ummm... what if we boarded and commandeered the supership?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> I do not tihnk that will be likely
<ChadWinters`> <Id> The only problem is, they'll still have all their other ships.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon pauses and looks to Lana.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "If we commandeered it, that would be a big help, but I doubt we could."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Hm. It would certainly turn the tide. What if we could get inside and your fellows could abandon this ship, piloting that one in your war effort?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...it was a thought...I mean... Id and I have already hacked their ships before..."
<Xanatos> (To the Croza)
<Seraphna> Alita> Well… what are the chances we can attach a ship to theirs?
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Our attempts to do so again have been tougher though.
<DeathStar> *As they near the ship, the super ship fires a test beam, --- right at the city where the resistance is still causing havoic. The beam annihiliates the entire Kumen City in one go, shaking the planet and sending debris up into the air, the shock wave actually rocking their ship. As the bright light fades, a smoldering crater remains*
<Xanatos> <Simon> .... 6* Simon stares at the scene, speechless.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...a...are they crazy?"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> God, I hope Bix is inside that thing
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... I think they're crazy."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Stop or comandeer...we have to do something about it.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Something like that would definetly strike fear in anyone.
<DeathStar> *The Croza seem to go quiet, then they begin to focus all their ships attacks at a single point*
<Seraphna> Alita > We established they were mad at the onset.
<DeathStar> <Croza> We will see if we can get some of our people onboard with you.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I just thought they were taover over the world crazy, but this is let it burn crazy!"
<DeathStar> *the smaller temple ships begin to attack the 7 ships as they all strike the giant; blowing them up one by one, but they even use their own deaths to try to weaken the giant enemy ship and cause damage to it*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> When you can rebuild in an instant, who cares about the collateral damage?
<DeathStar> <Gwen> ....
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "That's horrible."
<Seraphna> Alita> We will establish a flow chart on insanity at a later date.
<DeathStar> <CeleS> True, their rebuilding machine would let them rebuild this city in a few weeks
<DeathStar> *another ship goes down, and so far no sign of a hole*
<Seraphna> **Alita mentally notes to put Id way up there.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Uh, are we doing anything/
<Seraphna> Alita> Can we help make the hole?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Except they took out the rebuilding amchine on this world too!"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Do you have any mana left for meteors?
<DeathStar> <Celes> Unless it's inside that thing
<ChadWinters`> <Id> If it is, creating a hole will be hard.
<Seraphna> **Alita muses and nods** Book should be recharged… **she pulls it out and aims a meteor for the attack point**
<DeathStar> *a third ship goes down. At this point, the mother ship aims it's canon at the remaining ones, including their's*
<DeathStar> <Croza> This is being bad
<Seraphna> **Alita taps it for the other two meteors** No time to be frugal.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon breathes a bit heavily a she focuses, forming runes.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *brings up her ethereal console and tries to see if she can ping a signal to the supsership*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon forms the biggest hail spikes he can to rain down on the damaged spot.
<DeathStar> *the hull is pierced*
<DeathStar> *Aska and Shade hold out their hands* Now!
<DeathStar> *Void seems MIA, doing battle on the surfce with the smaller temple ships*
<DeathStar> *Celes, Gwen, and Neekito hold out*
<DeathStar> *The giant ship begins to fire*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon reaches out.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *grabs on*
<ChadWinters`> 6Id bumps against Lana
<Seraphna> **Alita and Talia join**
<Jackieness> <Lana> *grabs on to Id with her other arm*
<DeathStar> *the two begin to warp out with those that grabbed on.*
<Alicia> * Ceilidh uses her hammer to try to seal the hull
<Alicia> *and then grab the arm*
<DeathStar> *as they arrive in the ship, they hear a booming sound as the beam goes on and on*
<DeathStar> *they seem to be in a similiar like structure when they were in the research lab, but this seems to be geard more for ship design*
<DeathStar> *Gwen looks around the honeycomb like structure, the screens showing outside*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon forms his spear and immediately leaves to go find Croza to poke
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Come on..." *follows after Simon*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I do not believe any of of the mapping I've done so far will be useful here.
<Seraphna> **Alita keeps her staff ready and Talia rides Gwen.***
<DeathStar> <Aska> .... *she and Shade move along. As Ceilidh goes to move, she'd feel a pain in her Earth power*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "What... just happened?"
<Alicia> * Ceilidh visibly winces
<DeathStar> *but it doesn't turn off or feel corruptd. It's like Gaia had something happened*
<DeathStar> <Aska> What do you mean?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Something happened to Gaia, I think..."
<Seraphna> Alita> Do you feel corruption or pain?
<DeathStar> *Aska and Shade peer at each other* They likely got to her. She and Gale are protecting Geyze alone
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Pain, but no corruption."
<Seraphna> Alita> She may have taken an injury then. Or something damaged Geyze itself.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Then we should hurry here.
<DeathStar> *as they move along, it feels almost maze like. Shade sighs, looking frustrated*
<DeathStar> <Shade> And how are we suppose to find our way? Each room looks the same, with monitors of what is going on outside?
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I hope that they are not able to adjust the internal structure.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Either way, it means we need to hurry."
<DeathStar> *some show sscenes of Geyze*
<Seraphna> Alita> Now that we are inside perhaps we can carve a path?
<DeathStar> *Neekito attacks the wall and hurts herself*
<Seraphna> Alita> A bit less directly.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Or not..."
<Seraphna> Alita> Shade, is this place not full of shadows?
<DeathStar> <Shade> To a degree yes
<DeathStar> *as they walk, they can hear faint marching*
<Seraphna> Alita> Perhaps you can use them to help us navigate?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...hear that?"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I hear something.
<DeathStar> *Shade touches the shadows* .... many many mechanic Croza
<Alicia> * Ceilidh nods, staying quiet
<Xanatos> 6* Simon didn't get far on his own what with this being maze-like and nods to Shade, getting his spear ready again as they get closer.
<DeathStar> *Aska looks annoyed as they can be seen up ahead, approaching. On one of the screens, Gale and Gaia can be seen, peering up at the screen - it must be a temple*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I believe we will have to fight our way through.
<DeathStar> *Gaia seems to have coated her body in odd earth substance, a dark object in it*
<DeathStar> <Shade> I could try to use the shadows to get us past them
<ChadWinters`> <Id> It will buy us some time I suppose.
<Seraphna> Alita> Yes, that would be better.
<Xanatos> <Simon> ....6* Simon looks like he watns to fight, glancing at the spear and ahead before relaxing slightly and nodding in agreement with Alita and Id.
<DeathStar> *Shade pulls them into the shadows and gets a good roll, appearing behind the enemy*
<DeathStar> <Neekito> ... Hmph. <Celes> ... *as they keep walking, the area shifts as more rooms feel like they were just added*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon slowly moves away from the enemy before they get enough distance to walk normally.
<DeathStar> <Celes> If we don't find the exit, we will be stuck here forever I feel
<DeathStar> <Celes> Does anyone have ideas?
<Xanatos> <Simon> Surely we are simple missing the core spire that goes up through all of this?
<Xanatos> (simply)
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I cannot tell if they are still building or if they are changing the structure as we walk.
<Seraphna> Alita> We don’t need an exit, we need the core. Or the bridge.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "This is like the setting for a horror movie... like a haunted house that just keeps growing organically."
<DeathStar> <Aska> I been trying to trace something but I have no idea.
<Seraphna> **Alita muses** Aska, how are you with sending light itself?
<Seraphna> **sensing
<Alicia> * Ceilidh tries to determine the rough layout of the place, or at least which direction to go.
<DeathStar> <Aska> I can sense it
<Seraphna> Alita> The energy of a core must give off intense light.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Well, it depends on efficiency..."
<ChadWinters`> 6Id tries to see if it can scan any massive energy read out or if it can pick up a massive spirit energy gathering.
<DeathStar> *Ceilidh, having Wisdom, would note that the strange layout is interconnected. And if she recalls the last time they were in it, they need to try to head to the center and see if they can find a door in the ceilig*
<DeathStar> *but where is the "CenteR"*
<Seraphna> Alita> If you can feel out that light we have a compass of sorts.
<DeathStar> <Aska> I'm not getting much of that right now to be honest. But I will try.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Does anyone know which direction is in?"
<DeathStar> *Gwen muses* I think we began at the wall far that way.
<DeathStar> *he points*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "If we can reach the center, we should be able to go up from there."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon tries to think of how big the rooms have been, and how big the ship is to get some sort of relative distance of where the center may be. Using that sweet intelligence.
<DeathStar> *Simon goes all brainy and between him and Ceilidh's Wisdom, they get a decent idea of where the center is*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Honestly, I'm afraid and to use a sensory ping of the ship... I don't wnt them to find us."
<DeathStar> *and it's not too far from here*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> They most likely already can find us Lana.
<Xanatos> <Simon> We are a few rooms from relative middle though our angle may be a bit off so we may need to spread out a bit from there.
<DeathStar> <Shade> The little ball is depressing
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Then we should hurry. We don't have much time, if you're right."
<DeathStar> *Gwen nods to Simon and Aska works on the light problem*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Right."
<Seraphna> Alita> Bad news is his main power.
<DeathStar> *Aska gets a 1 out of 6 and points*
<DeathStar> <Aska> This way
<DeathStar> *Aska leads them*
<Seraphna> **Alita follows**
<ChadWinters`> <Id> It's a ship. They would be foolish to not have a system that allows them to locate things inside it.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *follows Aska's lead this time*
<DeathStar> *ironically, Aska leads them right into a familiar spirit - the nuclear powered spirit.*
<DeathStar> *Neekito hisses and Shade looks confused*
<DeathStar> *it stands there in the center of the room, the door hatch above it*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Why would they have that in the ship?!
<Seraphna> Alita> Power?
<Seraphna> Alita> This thing must need a lot of it.
<Xanatos> <Simon> This is...troublesome. 6* Simon slips behind Gwen and checks to see if he still has the good trap in his bag.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> To guard it.
<DeathStar> *no, but Aska got some from the Croza. But will he be able to get them before it fries them all, as it's already charging up? Find out next time we come back to them*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-641.5.16
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *Lenneth holds a meeting about the swarm and the Empress and Erevis walk in, both suited up in uniform. Erevis looks more stoic after her latest time with the Empress and she takes a seat, peering at everyone while the Empress sits down, having brought Jikuu to the meeting*
<DeathStar> <Empress> So, I have been informed the Swarm will likely either arrive here or Yggdrasil, and we no longer have the other ship
<Seraphna> **Jaime walks in holding a note and passes it to Lenneth before taking a seat**
<DeathStar> *Lenneth glances at it*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan’s update on going to the Tsiv capitol**
<DeathStar> *Lenneth nods slowly*
<DeathStar> <Empress> So, that about covers it?
<Xanatos> <Xan> That's the short of it, yeah.
<DeathStar> *she nods, then turns to Jikuu* Seer girl
<Seraphna> Jaime> And of course the Tsiv fleet attacking Earth.
<Seraphna> Jaime> And the of so helpful crazy Templar that went after the Maka.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Fight the battle in front of you before you worry about next enemy. If you take on too much, you are asking to be overrun
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But I will give Earth some help
<Xanatos> <Xan> Speaking of being overrun, that swarm made short work of Warren and the Erusians.
<Xanatos> <Xan> But...didn't kill them all.
<DeathStar> <Empress> What did your people do in your time with the Swarm? Surely you had history books
<DeathStar> *Andrea perks up, the Dark One tome next to her*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Things have diverged a lot from there, but... I do not know exactly. Something was sacrificed, and... things changed. A lot."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mother, why are our distant relatives so annoying?"
* ChadWinters` leans back in his chair as he listens.
<DeathStar> *The Empress nods, as if that answers something for her* Alright. We will be going to Plan B without the ship
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses, tilting her head**
<DeathStar> <Andrea> They didn't have a nice girl like me to teach them
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I did ask Bobbi to join us
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Back in my past, we used ancient tech. I do not think we can wait for the time travellers to return though."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So in your timeline, I went to the past with the others.
<DeathStar> *she muses on that*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Yes."
<DeathStar> <Empress> Your original intention was to beat me with that ancient tech
<Xanatos> 6* Xan squints as he thinks about why they didn't go
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... do Rei and I refer to Bobbi as cousin or aunt?"
<DeathStar> *Andrea eyes her*
<ChadWinters`> A fleet of their Temple ships would be useful.
<DeathStar> *Erevis nods to Jaime as Xanatos thinks*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "What? Its a legitimate question."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> You can decide
<Alicia> * Victoire listens, looking amused at this.
<Seraphna> Jaime> They do seem to have very similar makeup to Progenitor Vessels.
<DeathStar> <Empress> Here is the battle plan. Xanatos will once again be fleet commander. Erevis and I will battle the swarm, while Xanatos is in charge of the PAX and Suisen Ships and have the PAX defend itself. Due to the holes in the hull, if the swarm gets too close, they can enter easily and destroy the ship in a matter of moments
<Seraphna> Jaime> In fact from what we know the Geyze ancients may have been another version of us…
<DeathStar> <Empress> The two of us will attempt to destroy it with Plan B, and with Andrea's help with the Dark One book. I am hoping for some back up, but I am not counting on it. Xanatos, you will need to evade and fight like you have never have before while we do Plan B.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I think so too."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am certain of that, Jaime. It is why I planned to go into the past. But this has worked as well.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Can I help somehow?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Well, I don't like this plan, but I don't really have an alternative.
<DeathStar> <Empress> You have taken steps, but I am not sure you are entirely ready. If you want to do some attacks from the ship, do so, but no
<Seraphna> Angela> What I have left in the Epsilon can act as a grid for the PAX, for a while. Ya’ll are gonna owe me new Betas.
<DeathStar> *Erevis eyes Jikuu, likely thinking the same thing*
<Seraphna> Angela> I supposedly held Earth against gods for years with it. What’s a few hours?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Why do I feel like 'Plan B' would seem less desirable if we knew what it was?"
<DeathStar> *The Empress rises and steps out. Erevis pauses in that, peering at Jikuu*
<DeathStar> *then pulls out the Rune Blade, minus the Light Rune*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Because it is.
<Alicia> * Jikuu nods sadly
<DeathStar> <Andrea> *peers at Noire, not wanting her to be part of the book since it's still a few hours after her battle with Sommelier*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "mmmmmm?"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> You try not overdo it as well if the Swarm does too close.
<DeathStar> *get
<ChadWinters`> I'll do what I can to back you up, Durran.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I’lll see what I can do about plugging the holes temporarily.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Honestly the state we're in already. We're going to need a miracle. 6* He tells Chad. Sighing and getting up to go get ready.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "So should I be like Reikana, in bed recovering from the song weapon?"
<DeathStar> *the person with Chad, hooded, follows Xan*
* ChadWinters` stands up and moves with the hooded person and follows after Durran
<DeathStar> <Andrea> If you can manage stuff, by all means, just becareful. *is all she says*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will be right back. *Erevis vanishes like Wind used to do*
<Seraphna> **Leyaeh has a small grin on her face and taps her comma calling for Famfrits that can spare manifestation**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "..of course, mother."
<DeathStar> *Adeline jots notes* One day it'll be Adeline's day
<DeathStar> <Adeline> They'll come to her to save the universe
<DeathStar> *Adeline stands up* I guess I can see about trying to strengthen the shields
<Seraphna> Jaime> One day Addy.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I’ll help with that, I think I know what Leyaeh is planning.
<DeathStar> *Adeline smiles at Jaime and squeezes her hand* Try not to fry yourself, and moves to the shields*
<DeathStar> *Andrea opens the book and casts a spell on Noire*
<Seraphna> **Leyaeh indeed seems to be sending Famfrits to each gap**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "What was that, mother?"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Protection spell. Just incase they eat the ship
<Jackieness> <Myria> *pokes her ehad over the shield console, staring at Adeline*
<DeathStar> *She stands up, wobbily after the spell cast* I need to go put the totems in place with Bobbi
<Jackieness> <Noire> *looks at Andrea flatly*
<DeathStar> *Adeline waves* I'm just here to help strengthen things. After being with the other PAX, I got ideas. Not here to step on your toes. Promise
<DeathStar> *Adeline kneels down and moves to a secondary console*
<Seraphna> Jaime> And I’m the portable generator.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Oooooo! Tell me! Tell me!"
<DeathStar> *Adeline nods and begins to work with Miyuki, going over the shields with a like minded person*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Earth
<DeathStar> *as Kru'ul does his countdown, the Tsivrixsh ships that have the Dark tech somehow need to be disabled, but it's a lot to ask of one person*
<DeathStar> *one Dark Spirit*
<DeathStar> *there seems to be dozens in space above them; the mega ship seems to be out of her reach but she could try for it, too, but that's be a higher roll*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> If you need an outlet for all that Dark Energy. Let me know
<Xanatos> <Kane> Good luck. 6* He bows slightly
<DeathStar> *Stacey's voice can be heard on comms with the Generals, trying to keep them calm, and sometimes giving orders to stand by until Dias makes his decision*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I think the Generals are panicking
<Alicia> * Kyouki nods, closing her eyes, then concentrates hard on the task. She's going to start with the ones she's sure she can reach, but if she can get the mega ship too, why not? She won't be hitting that one right away, though.
<Seraphna> **Peter sniffs** Some of them. Louts.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias puts his hand on Kyouki's shoulder. 1"Believe in the you that can do this."
<DeathStar> *the result.... seems to hang in the air just like the generator is doing for him*
<DeathStar> *Kyouki manages to begin disable the dark tech in ships, doing less than half of them at the time.*
<DeathStar> *the Tsivrixsh seem to be confused for a moment. Kru'ul seems to quiet, probably conferring with his Generals*
<Seraphna> Peter> Lock onto the weakened ships. Let’s give them something to worry about.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane immediately redirects their artillery ships on the weakened ships.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> If it's working, keep pushing to the rest. Stacey, prepare the counter attack on the weakened ships.
<Alicia> * Kyouki keeps going. There's no reason to stop when it's working.
<DeathStar> <Stacey comms> Since we're low on ships .. .here goes
<DeathStar> *she sends in the Dragoons, and NGD dragoons since they handle space*
<DeathStar> *as they attack the ships and begin to destroy them, Kru'ul is outraged*
<DeathStar> *Kyouki begins to get the hang of it and disables more this time*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> We're going to need to focus on the big one soon. You're doing great.
<Seraphna> Peter> That should be enough to rattle the support, yes.
<DeathStar> *As Eluere and Steel and many old faces appear. At that moment Erevis appears holding the Rune Blade as Kru'ul fires and destroys the defense platform, pieces of it raining down on Earth and troop ships begin to fly in*
<Xanatos> <Kane> On screen. I believe that is...Erevis?
<Seraphna> **Peter starts his own part, having ground defenses target troop ships**
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Yes, I believe she is here to give the sword to Kyouki
<Seraphna> Angel> What’s she… oh.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> About time you showed up Erevis.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Thankyou..." *looks overjoyed to see Erevis*
<DeathStar> *what ships are not disabled fly in with the ground ships, providing what protection they can.*
<DeathStar> *Erevis hugs Kyouki, showing emotion for the first time, having not really reacted to the massive defense platform blowing up above them all and raiing debris down on Earth*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I came to deliver this. You may use it whole or the runes individually
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Is everything okay up there?"
<Seraphna> **Peter is directing some ground forces to blow the bigger chunks from the sky**
<Xanatos> 6* Kane tries to gets some of their faster scout-like ships to buzz around taking out chunks falling as well.
<Alicia> * Kyouki takes the sword gratefully.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We will be battling a swarm of Dark Ones within the hour. So I cannot stay for long. However, if you would like some assistance I can provide it
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Kyouki, you need to take down that big ship.
<DeathStar> *Lemon taps her fingers on her arm as the command ship nears Earth with back up, normal ships as he has had the Dark Ships retreat*
<DeathStar> *not knowing why they are shutting off*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I think this commander is onto us
<Alicia> * Kyouki nods confidently to Dias. "This shouldn't take much longer." * And with that, she concentrates on the mega ship, trying to take that down.
<Seraphna> **Peter frowns** Now or never.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Cautious one he is. 6He starts rotating his shoulder a bit.
<DeathStar> *Erevis studies her power*
<Xanatos> 6* Cole and Blue are flying around fighting now that they can take some down but as they're pulled back they pull back as well not risking it against dark powered ones.
<DeathStar> *Kyouki wins again and manages to do something to the ship,but due to it's sheer size it seems to be shugging along. Erevis studies the sky* You managed to damage it but it has moved onto other systems. *Kyouki would begin to feel herself being extended when Erevis has her grip the sword* Tap into the Dark Rune. It will help. *she notes, since Kyouki is part of it*
<DeathStar> *The ship begins to charge up, aiming to target something*
<DeathStar> <Blue> I sure hope that isn't for us
<Alicia> * Kyouki does just that, using the rune to boost her power for this. The ship must go down.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Uh if it is we're fucked.
<DeathStar> *Kyouki taps into the Dark Rune and strikes the ship, but ... it doesn't seem to take down the ship. It seems she picked high when it should have been low. As Erevis helps Kyouki when she feels herself go weak for the time being, the massive ship's gun does stop firing. And it seems to be repairing itself, giving them time as the other ships fly in to do battle*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... you almost had it. Do not worry. The others will defeat it
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> You did enough to change the tide of this fight, Kyouki. Be proud.
<Alicia> * Kyouki nods. "It's all up to you now."
<Xanatos> 6* Kane moves cruisers forward to intercept. Cole shifts them around to doing more hit and run tactics.
<Xanatos> (Them being himself and blue)
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh ships seem go fter Cole, while some go for Earth*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I will take my leave. I believe in all of you. *she peers at Kyouki to see if she wants to come or see this finished*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Hm. Do we have anything that can bring that thing down while it's stalled out?
<Xanatos> <Kane> Perhaps our president has a trick up his sleeve.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Time for our counter-attack I think. 6He peers at Lemon. 1"What ya think Stacey? We got any hidden super weapons I don't know about?
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I trust them to handle things... and I'm not up to doing much else right now. I'll come with you."
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Like that planet sized gear I wanted commissioned for myself?
<DeathStar> *Erevis nods and leaves the Rune Sword with KAne and Lemon, before warping out*
<DeathStar> <Stacey> Well, you got your creepy stalker girl you fight with watching the fight beside me. Should I shoot her into space?
<DeathStar> *Stacey can be heard moving through paperwork* Venerator is still alive; V.I might have super weapons still around if you want to go ask him
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Good luck with that. Eh, why not. I know I can't quite punch it from here.
<DeathStar> <Stacey> Otherwise, all I can think is to ask the Dragoons--- *She pauses a few NDGs blow up near Cole*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I hope we didn't know them
<Seraphna> Angel> We’re running low on those too.
<DeathStar> <Stacey> Fine, I'll go ask grandpa
<DeathStar> *she hangs up*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> We could always just head up their ourselves and take them out the old fashioned way.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole has switched to mostly evasion as he's being chased, tching to himself and hoping it wasn't his fault the NGDs near him got hit.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Bad news
<Xanatos> <Cole> Damnit, they're good.
<DeathStar> *she looks up from her console* The ones on the ground are causing a lot of trouble; X and a few others are there helping stop them but it seems the Tsivrixsh are up to something
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Any reinforcements we can send to help them?
<Xanatos> <Kane> Dias, you could take this rune sword and do something with it. It is not like we will be able to do much with it. Protect the ground, or go after the large ship. Either way it could be useful elsewhere.
<Seraphna> Angel> I have some to offer.
<Seraphna> Angel> Give me locations.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I don't know what good I'd be with a sword honestly.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> ....*grabs the sword*
<Xanatos> <Kane> You have seen it in use. The runic power is what it's best used for, not stabbing and slashing.... 6* He sighs as Lemon grabs it.
<DeathStar> *and takes out the lightning rune and slaps it onto her gloves*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> ... I'll be back. I wish Cheryl was here. I'm not cut out for this.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Oh right. We can do that stuff. Toss me the Earth Rune.
<DeathStar> *Lemon deadpans as Erevis told them they cuold do that*
<DeathStar> *Then tosses it to him*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias slasp it on his wrist. 1"Oh man that's a feeling I haven't felt in awhile.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Find others who can use the runes, it will turn the tide. I must remain and provide strategy here to hold off these ships. Please...Please be careful, Lemon.
<Seraphna> **Angel grabs the Water Rune from it and puts it on, then teleports to one of the trouble locations**
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I will. *she moves to the Gear hanger and loads herself in, marching out*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> So who wants to come with me to the ship?
<DeathStar> *it seems Dias is the hero the world needs - alone*
<DeathStar> *Anyway, while Dias debates what to do*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Keep this place safe Kane. 6He moves and leaps off, landing on the room of his personal shuttle.
<DeathStar> *shifting to where all the troop shuttles have landed, the enemy has begun to construct some device and aiming it at the sky. X and Vesta have been trying to get at it, but the Tsivrixsh are numerous*
<Seraphna> **Peter grunts, Reese heading after him strapping on the Fire Rune**
<DeathStar> <Isis> Hm. Hu hu hu. How uncooth.
<DeathStar> *Isis stands on the edge of a building, using foxfire and manifestation to rain down on the enemy*
<DeathStar> <Vesta> ... *just holds a saber and slashes the Tsivrixh, annoyed*
<DeathStar> <X> ... You remind me of Dias. *ripple blade cuts* And you. *guts* And you.
<Seraphna> **Angel warps in and sends a torrent of water through the Tsiv, one could say it’s also boiling**
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh drop; at that moment a beam of light goes into the sky*
<DeathStar> *From the device*
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel slides past one slashing through it as her body arcs off electricity.
<Seraphna> **Angel fires a hyperspace blast at the device**
<DeathStar> *Vesta and Cherry, the alternate Cheryl, drop as it goes up*
<DeathStar> *The device glows, blocking it, having an energy field once it went up, but it does seem to overcharge it for a moment*
<DeathStar> *Vesta and Cherry lay there, not moving; a Tsivrixsh rises with an Xvash to bash their heads in when X ripples their head off
<DeathStar> <X> What is this now?
<Seraphna> **Angel muses, then pounds it with water before energizing the water**
<DeathStar> *the shield does something*
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel dashes and slides over to Cherry, grabbing her and moving her away to somewhere safe
<DeathStar> <Cherry> mmmughhhharrccau
<Seraphna> Angel> I’d say EMP.
<DeathStar> *Isis leaps up with Vesta*
<DeathStar> <X> And all the Dragoons up in space. *as she talks, her right arm is going deadder and deadder*
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> Can you take out the ground itself to change it's direction?
<Seraphna> Angel> Fine, fuck this. **she leaps over to the device and starts carving the ground out from under it**
<Seraphna> Angel> Eat molten earth you fuck machine.
<DeathStar> *As Angel does this, it works. The device seems to stop working properly, when another shoots up from a few miles away from another troop group that landed*
<DeathStar> <X> ... ungh... ... how many are going to fire up
<DeathStar> <X> ... I don't think I Can handle too many
<Seraphna> Angel> Let’s keep at it and try to stop them before they go up.
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> Tell the other troops that this is how to disable them.
<DeathStar> *X uses her good arm and inform Kane*
<Seraphna> **Angel nods and lets someone know**
<DeathStar> <X> We got a situation. *Tells him what is up*
<Seraphna> **Angel seems to be calling someone else, because that’s when her own Weapon Hybrids start their move rippling in on locations**
<DeathStar> <X> Alright, let me get us there. *shakily forms a ripple*
<DeathStar> *And steps through*
<Xanatos> <Kane> *C* Analyzing the energy signature now. I will spread to the rest of the troops what works best.
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel talks to someone on her comm as she steps in.
<Seraphna> Angel> Been a while, I think people foolishly forgot I used to be a supervillain.
<DeathStar> <X> Yeah, and what if the next beam stops Weapons?
<Seraphna> **Angel hops through**
<DeathStar> <X> Super villain
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> It'll be hard to target our specific DNA for that.
<Seraphna> Angel> Then we move onto the killer dinosaurs
<DeathStar> <X> True
<DeathStar> *meanwhile, up in space*
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> Unless these are designed to suppress all powers.
<DeathStar> *Blue eyes their fellow Dragoons just stop working*
<DeathStar> <Blue> Uh...
<Xanatos> 6* Kane on his end is warning the dragoons in space to avoid the white beams.
<DeathStar> <Blue> Is it me or we REploids alone?
<Xanatos> <Cole> What the fuck was that?
<DeathStar> *The NGDs begin to either stop working and float, splitting into two, or begin to try to get the hell out of there*
<Xanatos> <Cole> They're sitting ducks out here, should we try to scoop up as many as we can....or fight without them?
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh begin to move in to kill the Dragoons, when a mech arrives and fires at the Tsivrish ships*
<DeathStar> <Blue> I have no idea.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Scoop duty. Get the tractor ready while that mech is defending.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole moves them to get in there.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane tries to get whatever readings he can from the light to see if he can scramble up a counter beam or something to pull the stunned ones out of it.
<DeathStar> *the mech provides cover, firing at the ships, even allowing Dias to head for the super ship which has begun to move again slowly*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias flies the shuttle past them in all it's colored glory.
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh aim at it, offended*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Things are gonna get rough, Reese. Hold on to your butt cheeks
<DeathStar> *Blue, the mech, and Kane get a good number of Dragoons to safety*
<DeathStar> <Blue> Cole, we did it
<DeathStar> *Cole did it even
<Xanatos> <Cole> Now they can't say we never did anything useful.
<DeathStar> *As this is going on, Kane would hear someone walk into the room with him*
<DeathStar> <Blue> True. One day we'll have the spotlight
<Xanatos> 6* Cole makes sure to deposit them into hangers of some of the rear ships so they can triage with them, moving when they can to help the mech.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane is focused, so it takes him a moment to glance up toward the footsteps
<DeathStar> *the mech meanwhile seems to be busy trying to provide cover for everyone*
<DeathStar> *Venerator stands there and leans over* Hello, Kane.
<DeathStar> <Venerator> A pleasure to work with you
<Xanatos> 6* Kane narrows his eyes, going tense, glancing to his pistol sitting on his desk by him.
<DeathStar> *Venerator takes a seat and points at his console* These are the coordinates to what you are looking for.
<DeathStar> *He says even as Dias flies in toward the super ship, guns firing at him*
<DeathStar> *Without warning*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane eyes him, then glances to the coordinates.
<DeathStar> Up, Down, Left, Right, Right, Left, Left, Right, Down, Up, Down, Down
<DeathStar> 5
<DeathStar> 4
<ChadWinters`> durllrrluduu
<DeathStar> *the eyestore of a ship arrives at the hanger and Tsivrixsh stand there firing at it*
<DeathStar> *it seems to be in the middle of the wetlands. Surely nothing is there - but will he send a team?*
<DeathStar> *Venerator sips a drink anyway*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias spins in their, sending it's thrusters towards them all to blow them back/burn them
<DeathStar> <Venerator> How is Adeline and Charlotte?
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh goes flying*
<Seraphna> Reese> …Easier than the rune I guess.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Do not speak of them. 6* He sends the coordinates to X and her team with a warning that they come from Venerator so to be cautious.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I can't believe they're trying to damage my beauty. 6He flips a switch to lower the ramp as he lands it roughly. 1"Let's go wreck some shit."
<Seraphna> **Reese shoulders a rifle and nods**
<DeathStar> <Venerator> Hmph. Maybe you should see if they want to help out on the mission.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias runs down the ramp and looks around, sniffing the air. 1"This way."
<Seraphna> **Reese follows after him** Yessir.
<DeathStar> *X acknowledges; meanwhile the super ship approaches Earth and enters it's atmosphere.*
<DeathStar> <Blue> Uh, Cole
<DeathStar> <Blue> The big guy is going in for a landing. Or something
<DeathStar> *The mech pauses and follows after it*
<Xanatos> <Cole> What the fuck do we even do? Maybe go in and land and try to help the gaudy shuttle?
<DeathStar> <Blue> Lets do that
<ChadWinters`> 6As Dias runs, a warm aura emminates from him and begins to spread outwards
<Xanatos> 6* Cole thumbs up and goes to do just that.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Tsivrixsh Homeworld
<DeathStar> *the team has found an elevator that has taken them deeper and deeper*
<DeathStar> *And the entire time it's gotten unnaturally dark*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei's foxfire barely lights the place now and it's cold*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Kaelan... vibes?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... *paces in the elevator and seems to be acting weird. Amazo hums*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I’m a Dark One. I should not have the Heebee Geebees.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Kaelan's friendlier than this."
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> This is....unsettling.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> This reminds me of texts in Templar books.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I have an idea of what this might be
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Mind sharing?
<DeathStar> *As the book opens*
<Alicia> <Asha> "This feels like a nightmare."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Well, the Dark Ones come from something
<Xanatos> 6* Valen puts a hand on Rachael's shoulder, trying to comfort her.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Called a "Dark Mother Core". But they are rare. They create the Lords and the Lords make the other Dark Ones. They usually nest themselves in planets, dead worlds typically, and birth powerful Dark Ones
<DeathStar> <Thomas> The Dark Mother is an unnaturally strong Dark Creature
<Seraphna> Kaelan> That’s what Freyja and Chii sealed here.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> So you're thinking we found the mother of Dark Ones. Great.
<DeathStar> *as the elevator opens, they begin to walk on squishy ground*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "And that would be why I thought of a seed..."
<DeathStar> <Kyun> Well whatever was down here ws suppose to have been killed
<Jackieness> <Moira> "This isn't a dead world though."
<DeathStar> <Kyun> And sealed away due to the corrupt dark energies
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Yeah but nothing ever stays dead anymore.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> And then the Dark
<DeathStar> <Kyun> Yes, the Dark Ones tricked the Tsivrixsh of the day
<DeathStar> <Kyun> And almost sacrificed my race
<Seraphna> Kaelan > Ones built a new spirit engine.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> So you think they ressurected the Mother with it
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...and then allied with the Dark Ones again?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> The undead army was a nice side benefit.
<DeathStar> <Kyun> I pray they did not know
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Could the deaths brought by war be considered sacrifices for something like that? Maybe they're trying to remake one.
<DeathStar> *the elevator goes back up - is it the traitor?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Yes, they could… huh?
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Something's going to cause us a lot of pain soon. Everyone be on your toes.
<DeathStar> *as they enter the chamber, a massive creature that doesn't look female but fills the entire room and has tentacles all over a gaping paw for birthing is there. It could eat them all if they fell in. Standing there is the other Kyun*
<Alicia> <Asha> "Yeah, I think we all know what's going on now."
<DeathStar> <Hunter Kyun> Well, I guess my machinations here at an end. When they learn they fell for it again. I think they'll be pretty unhappy.
<DeathStar> <Kyun> Which one is the traitor
<DeathStar> *The Hunter just laughs*
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Well that's just disturbing on all levels
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> .... *eyes the maw*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I want to burn this place. I wonder if this is how mother felt
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> In due time.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Hate hate hate hate it
<Seraphna> **Kaelan muses** To think you could have been more than a pawn, Hunter.
<DeathStar> *Rachael begins to form magic in both hands*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...crud... tentacles..."
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt eyes to see if it looks alive.
<DeathStar> <Hunter> *Taps head* And to think you came down here to be food for the Mother.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Honestly...it's horrific...but I expected something worse.
<DeathStar> *as Durt looks, but tentacles whip out and grab Moira, classically ripping her clothes off Moira style as she is dragged to the Maw to be eaten*
<DeathStar> <Ako> Is that...a thing she does?
<DeathStar> <Ako> Do I need to manifest new clothes for her?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **Shifts and slices at the tentacle**
<Xanatos> <6* Kellin eyes the hunter and forms his pistol to fire at the tentacle
<DeathStar> *the tentacle is taken out before she is eaten and the entire room shakes, and the creature --- roars*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Fuuuuuuck!!!!!!"
<Xanatos> <Valen> !! Don't look just catch don't look just catch. 6* He runs to try and catch her before she hits the ground.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Well it's pissed now. Now you can burn it all down.
<DeathStar> *it's not happy and a voice of pain is heard in their heads, pressing down on them*
<DeathStar> <Ako> Argh!
<DeathStar> <Thomas> ... tch
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt grabs his head as he drops to his knee.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen winces and falls, maybe in such a way that Moira can land on him.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Don't you even dare." *glares at the creature, shifting to werewolf form as she struggles not to fall*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...it tried to molest-slash-eat me! I don't care if tis pissed, how do you think I feel?!"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Mmm… fuck. **her own tendrils writhe**
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin winces falling to one knee, straining trying to stand up despite it but not really moving before falling to both knees.
<DeathStar> <Shion> I think your clothes are just flimsy
<DeathStar> *she holds her head in pain*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *is sitting on top of Valen, pissed off and naked*
<Alicia> * Celeste stands straight, likewise struggling against the screaming, yet handling it reasonably well
<Seraphna> **Michelle starts bundling a bunch of her arrows together, an ear bleeding a little**
<DeathStar> *the pain scream ends*
<DeathStar> <Shion> ... shew
<Xanatos> <Valen> ....owwww...fuck
<DeathStar> *begins to form foxfire electricity ball in her hand*
<Alicia> * Celeste takes a deep breath, preparing for the true fight
<DeathStar> <Shion> So, weak point?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> If this is Mother, she remembers Foxfire.
<DeathStar> <Ako> All of it
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Fuck that's annoying. 6He eyes the Hunter to see if it was affecfted
<Seraphna> Kaelan> The brain.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> True. *she forms her wings and fox fire*
<DeathStar> *The Hunter has gotten out of there*
<Alicia> * Asha moves in to claw at the creature
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Destroy the brain.
<DeathStar> *Asha claws and blood gushes, tentacles wrap around Asha*
<DeathStar> *trying to crush ehr*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin forms his bustah, backing up a few steps to prepare.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Hunter's retreated.
<DeathStar> *Shion and Lorelei throw together and hit it*
<DeathStar> *as more slap them into the wall*
<Alicia> * Asha lets loose an aura of flame as she struggles against the tentacles, Celeste moving to slash at them with her sword
<Seraphna> **Michelle activates all her explosive arrows and tosses them down the maw with her Kenetic Aim**
<Jackieness> <Moira> *stands then grabs her sword* "...ready."
<DeathStar> *Ako enters fire dance mode*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Lets do this! Twin swords!"
<Seraphna> Michelle> Let’s see how she handles spice.
<DeathStar> *As Asha burns her way free, Celeste slashes and more blood gushes. The explosion shoots stuff up into the air and suddenly the place ebgins to shift*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pushes himself to his feet then pulls his shield emitter up and activates it, moving to get iin there and start defending people from tentacles.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *moves in to slash tentacles because its personal*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin tries to keep his footing as he charges up his bustah blast.
<DeathStar> *a creature, almost "motherly" but terrible to look at, forms from the massive room and it begins to leap, the tentacles coming out of Moira to slap at her slash*
<DeathStar> *Ako dances around and burns the creature a bit*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan seems to be watching, gathering strength**
<DeathStar> <Thomas> What in the world
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ... *Rubs her face and floats up*
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt see's something he can attack now and starts moving towards it
<Seraphna> **Michelle aims a normal arrow and fires at it**
<Jackieness> <Moira> *uses her sword to try to fend off the creature*
<DeathStar> *The arrow hits it and a acidic tentacle flings stuff at Michelle*
<DeathStar> *Moira manages to keep the creature at bay so far*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ... *powers Moira up through the Mark*
<Seraphna> **Michelle rolls**
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Smite
<Jackieness> <Moira> *feels the power up and then unleashes Twin Heavens on the creature*
<DeathStar> *she seems to be powering all those with the mark*
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt moves in at it's side as Moira keeps its attention and throws a punch for it's side
<DeathStar> *the creature howls in pain and Durt hits it, making it stumble. It spews corrupt liquids at Durt*
<Alicia> * Celeste moves to support Moira with her own sword skills. Maybe Lenny will power up her strikes?
<Seraphna> **Kaelan draws her sword and summons at the same time, turning into a Dark Spirit Kitsune and leaping to match Moira, slicing next**
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt attemps to twist and get of it's way
<Alicia> * Asha continues her burning strikes on the creature
<Xanatos> 6* Valen when not defending would start throwing out templar lightning at it.
<DeathStar> *hearing Celeste's need, Lenny appears and helps power her up, fighting beside her*
<DeathStar> *Rachael finally unleashes her magic, and strikes, blowing people back despite them being there, knocking Celeste, Moira, Kaelan, etc*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin seems to be charging the most powerful bustah he can manage, in terms of turns he's taken a few now.
<DeathStar> *the magic blowing half the creature up*
<DeathStar> *Rachael pants, looking wild*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Damn, Rach! You're been holding out on us!"
<DeathStar> *Lenny looks annoyed, helping Celeste up as it begins to reform*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin grits his teeth but breathes out through it.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan skids and sends tendrils out to rip into what’s left, tearing**
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Heh heh heh heh
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt begins back pedaling. 1"Kelling, finish it off.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Pro. Gen. Goon. BUSTAH. 6* He releases his energy for the remaining half.
<DeathStar> *the creature is torn through and nothing seems to remain, especially as Kaelan was doing her thing*
<Seraphna> **Michelle shifts quietly behind Rachael and injects her with her meds**
<DeathStar> *there is no meds left sadly, it ra out months ago*
<DeathStar> *Rachael laughs, peering at Michelle*
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Pull up and tear through what's left of that maw thing
<Seraphna> **Or a tranq from her arrow pack**
<DeathStar> *holding up her magic and pointing it at her*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *looks around for what's next*
<DeathStar> *but then pauses and falls over*
<Alicia> * Asha howls in triumph, then transforms back from werewolf form.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin pants, steam or smoke rising up as his arm skin has been melted away by the blast.
<Seraphna> Michelle> That girl needs a vacation.
<DeathStar> *the room begins to swuirl and tries to eat Asha since she went normal. Asha is swallowed by the maw*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> It’s not done.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Okay....okay...we make sure it's dead dead. No sliver. No ASHA-
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I think we need to entirely desrroy the room
<Alicia> <Asha> "Wait, what?!" *struggles to escape*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei tries to peer into the maw*
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Agreed.
<Seraphna> **Michelle holds onto Rach and Kaelan darts tendrils to try and grab Asha**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Kaelan, tentacle lifeline now!"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen looks around and throws out some templare lightning for the maw to try and distract it as Kaelan does rescuing
<DeathStar> *the tentacle reaches something in the maw*
<DeathStar> *Bht the room begins to go for them until Valen hits it and it begins to chase Valen*
<Alicia> * Asha tries to grab the tendrils, once more reaching into deep reserves of inner power
<Seraphna> **Kaelan pulls**
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Lorelei, you got anything strong enough to take out this entire room?
<Jackieness> <Moira> *runs to intercept and slash at what is chasign Valen*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Okay, everyone begin to move out of the room once we get Asha and then we need to hit it with everything we got. Also does anyone know sealing magic? I should have practiced better with mom and Freyja
<Seraphna> Kaelan> That or another sealing spell.
<DeathStar> *Moira takes it out
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Yeah, not my thing.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lets out a breath and nods to Moire, keeping EYE CONTACT and backs up.
<DeathStar> *Kaelan yanks out not Asha - but a golden werewolf*
<DeathStar> <Ako> ... I got an idea!
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I can only slash stuff up!"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I have something like it… why is there a werewolf?
<DeathStar> *Ako begins to lay down manifestations*
<DeathStar> *around the room*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "That looks like Asha, but... gold?"
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin backs up, still trying to recover from the blast.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and watches what Ako is doing, then moves to help with his own manifestations.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan Turns it upside down** Why are you gold?
<Alicia> <Asha> "I am?"
<Seraphna> **Michelle backs out with Rach**
<DeathStar> *it's clear she's tapping into her super manifestation, trying to make a powerful manifestations that can explode at key spots*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Maybe you evolved a new transformation."
<DeathStar> <Ako> ...haaaaaa.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *retreats from the room*
<DeathStar> *Thomas and the others move out, Lorelei aiming at the room*
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt slips out
<Seraphna> **Kaelan starts slicing Japanese symbols into the walls with tendrils as she backs out**
<DeathStar> *tentacles begin to go for those doing stuff*
<DeathStar> <Ako> Aah?!
<DeathStar> *one grabs her, then one goes for Valen*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Hey, Asha? Better move out too." *retreats, followed shortly by the golden Asha, who throws golden fire at the tentacles as she goes
<DeathStar> *the golden fire frees Ako, who runs for it*
<DeathStar> <Ako> Lets go VAlen! Kaelan!
<Xanatos> 6* Valen is stabbing at his with his sword.
<Seraphna> **Michelle takes shots with arrows from behind and Kaelan slips though Ako’s shadow and out of Kellin’s**
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Everyone, lets make a heroic withdrawal!"
<Jackieness> <Moira> *moves to defend the others*
<DeathStar> *Shion slaps paper symbols on the walls*
<DeathStar> <Shion> Ther and there and there
<Alicia> * Celeste stands by Moira, defending the others as the group retreats from the room
<DeathStar> *Lorelei eyes the elevator still being up*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ... hrm
<Seraphna> **Kaelan’s glow red, weakening spells**
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Even if we blow it up we'll go with it
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Pffft.
<DeathStar> *Ako kneels* I can't hold my super manifestations for long. They'll blow one way or another
<Jackieness> <Moira> *starts backing toward the elevator once the rest of the team makes it past*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Noct dear.
<DeathStar> *Nocturne appears*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin forms his regular pistol shooting some hyperspace infused bullets as they back up. Valen, if he's free would back up and try to make a couple more.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Get is back to the surface.
<Seraphna> *us
<DeathStar> *Valen would be free and joins them; the tentacles try to get past the paper talismen*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan’s spells flare to weaken them as they cross**
<DeathStar> *Nocturne warps them to the surface where Ka'pla and Third Rank are fighting each other. Ka'pla having been ambushed with a stab in the back. She slams his head int othe wall, breaking his neck, and turns to lower the elevator, blinking
<DeathStar> *Ako blows her bombs*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen does the same with his, then falls over over looking ill not one to manifest often
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We'll need to... reseal this...area...
<DeathStar> *Lorelei catches him*
<DeathStar> <Ka'pla> You are safe
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Barely.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> ... *eyes the dead counciler*
<DeathStar> *the lower area shakes and things quiet for now*
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> So that was the traitor I assume?
<DeathStar> <Ka'pla> Well he just stabbed me so I assume...so
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin tries to focus and remember any such progenitor sealing techinques.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Well, he loks like a dead traitor now."
<DeathStar> *Kyun leads them to the exit with the broken door*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> How did the Hunter get out?
<DeathStar> <Kyun> I don't think he did. I think he's still down there
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Doing what?"
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> That's potentially b ad.
<DeathStar> *There's not really any sealing techniques, but Kellin can try to use hyperspace to seal the door*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Hm, hopefully being blown up or eaten
<Alicia> <Celeste> "I think it's worse than just potentially."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> The creature down there will need substance and it will be it
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Unless there is another escape
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Any explosives nearby? I could always shadow port a bomb down there.
<DeathStar> <Ako> I'm gonna puke, don't mention explosives to mwe
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Any chance absorbing his dark energy might supercharge the mother?"
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I can seal the door physically....but it will ne to be properly sealed by something else.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> If what we did didn't kill it, something tells me a bomb won't make a dent in it.
<Seraphna> **Michelle looks over Rach** She needs the PAX.
<Seraphna> Michelle> Months off her meds means the deterioration is going to be bad.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Something tells me one hunter isn't enough to supercharge something like that beyond what it is already is."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Lets seal it physically; I'll get Aunt Freyja aftr the war
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Now that Kyun is free we can end i
<DeathStar> *it
<DeathStar> <Kyun> I will get on it. Hopefully the counsel has already put my order into motion
<DeathStar> <Thomas> True. I wonder where the remaining few Hunters are located
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Well hopefullyt those already in combat will stop when they get the orders
<DeathStar> *Kyun moves off to end the war*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin freshly healed arm skin melts away as he turns his arms into pure hyperspace...melting the doors shut
<DeathStar> <Ako> Ouch
<DeathStar> *she winces for Kellin*
<DeathStar> *still looking sickly*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Yeah... ouch..."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Well that nutcase Templar is still out there “hunting” for them by holding up our allies. I’d start with his ass.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> *cough*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> You know they said I would get used to it, but it still hurts like hell.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> That's not our job. Our's is to focus on the remaining gods.
<DeathStar> *Lenny meanwhile is giving praise to Celeste*
<DeathStar> *someone kncoks on the door*
<DeathStar> *After Kellin seals it
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Also someone needs to get Rachel to the PAX."
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Uh.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> One of whom we know is in Templar command.
<DeathStar> <Amazo> It is I, Amazo!
<DeathStar> <Amazo> I have the fiend!
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Did he get the Hunter?"
<DeathStar> <Shion> ...
<DeathStar> <Shion> Is that where he went off to?
<Xanatos> <Valen> .....
<Seraphna> **Kaelan shadow pulls him out**
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Nice going!" <Asha> "What?"
<DeathStar> *Amazo blinks*
<DeathStar> <Amazo> *then holds the Hunter back in his real form, his body looking broken*
<DeathStar> <Amazo> Here!
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> ....Well that solves that problem.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Nice work. Where is Mercy by the way? **peers around**
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Only the big problem to go..."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "where did you find him, Amazo?"
<DeathStar> <Amazo> Hm. I did not see her. I think she was around me
<Xanatos> <Valen> Do we need to do a headcount?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pulls his shirt off to give to Moira
<DeathStar> <Amazo> He was in the underground tunnels with this.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan muses and senses her out, having put shadow on her**
<DeathStar> *He drops a white orb*
<DeathStar> *Mercy seems to be still down below*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin shifts over to take the white orb and peer at it carefully.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> What's that?
<DeathStar> <Amazo> I have no idea!
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...ah...thanks..." *pulls on the shirt*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin tries to determine if it's a seed.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Mercy is missing....she must still be down there.
<DeathStar> *it seems to be a white orb. Physical almost like a crystal ball*
<DeathStar> <Amazo> Maybe she hunts Hunters!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Yep, I’ll get her.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> We'll need to scan it. If it had it, it's probably dangerous
<DeathStar> *Amazo eyes Lenny, the two Gods eyeing each other*
<Seraphna> **She slips into the shadows**
<DeathStar> <Shion> And Kaelan was never seen again
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin makes sure it's secure and then also makes sure the hunter is dead..
<Seraphna> **Kaelan peeks out of her shadow and pokes her**
<DeathStar> *it's not quite dead, just broken and can't move*
<DeathStar> *incase they want to question*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan then slips back in and brings Mercy out a bit after**
<DeathStar> *Mercy's maid outfit is sludgy and torn in places* I lost sight of people after tracking him. I apologize. I figured I could not do much in the battle
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin debates killing it but decides it can be proof for the council, taking it to go give Kyun something to back up his statements.
<DeathStar> *she bows*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Sexy maids and schoolgirls really need to stay away from tentacle things.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Another reason I left
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Well it's good your not hurt.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "It almost got me."
<Alicia> <Asha> "It did get me."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Well, ... is there a place here that has baths while we wait on Kyun?
<DeathStar> *Lorelei muses and leads the kids after her*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Come
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> And lets find some medical supplies
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Better be.
<DeathStar> *Ako tracks after Kellin*
<Alicia> * Asha finally shifts back to her normal form, the golden glow fading, at least for now.
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt moves iwth the group.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *shrugs and follows after Lore*
<DeathStar> *Mercy muses after eyeing the third's body*
<DeathStar> <Mercy> That the traitor? *she peers after Ka'pla, who follows Kellin* I would have thought it was Xevil's daughter
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I read he was a very bad person
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Not everyone follows in their parents foot steps
<Xanatos> <Valen> I tried to get a read on her, sense some darkness or whatever but I failed so who knows. Either she just scapegoated that poor dude or she's legit and he wasn't worth remembering.
<DeathStar> *Mercy nods as Lorelei helps get Rachael medical*

<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-642.5.16
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *as people attempt to the PAX more ready for the Swarm, a group of Dark One ships that are so tightly together they look like a swarm, as they head for either the PAX of Yggdrasil, perhaps both, Lenneth walks around doing inspections, studying the manifestation hull* <Lenneth> You think that will hold up in a battle before we we get real hull in?
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> We'll be maintaining it, so it's a bit more like a healing wall than the stuff you're used to.
<DeathStar> *at the same time, as Ren sits in a chair, post Sommelier battle, feeling like there isn't much she can do, Charlotte gets a message from someone*
<DeathStar> *Ren tilting her head at Charlotte's datapad as she holds the baby*
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> I doubt it'll take too many hits though. Better that than nothing.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> True. *she nods* Keep up the good work
<Seraphna> **Leyaeh nods to her, organizing shifts and suits, so if one blows their people don't get killed in the process**
<Seraphna> **Jaime yawns a bit, working with Adeline still**
<DeathStar> *Adeline works with Myria, wiping her forehead when her datapad beeps and she glances at it, raising her eyebrow*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Hrn
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Hmmmmmm?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime leans over curiously** Good news I hope?
<Alicia> * Charlotte reads the message
<DeathStar> *it's from an unknown sender, alerting her to the fact Venerator is helping EarthGov pointing them to a super weapon of V.I's that will be used against the Tsivrixsh, giving her the coordinates*
<DeathStar> *Adeline shows it to her, having a similiar message as Charlotte's*
<Seraphna> Jaime> We knew Cartwright was alive right? Too much going on lately.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "We knew."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Yes, I met with him with Charlotte. Claimed to be turning over a new leaf.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Still too early to say if he did, but so far, he seems to have."
<DeathStar> *Adeline points at the remaining work* Myria knows how to finish this. I might stop over at Earth
<Seraphna> **Angela has positioned the Epsilon within the PAX's defense grid, running tests to make sure the Betas can move to key defense spots**
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Have fun!"
<DeathStar> *Ren raises an eyebrow, listening in on their conversation*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Want me along or do I need to be here to power the shields?
<Xanatos> 6* Xan sits with his legs propped up on the edge of a console on the bridge, arms crossed.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Up to you. *She stretches* You might want to be here for whatever foolhearty plan your mother has
<Seraphna> Jaime> True... you be careful.
<DeathStar> *Adeline nods and heads for where the teleporters are located. Ren peers at Charlotte*
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek stands in the hanger, holding a 6-pack of beer. Drinking from one.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Do you want to come along, or focus on taking care of Akatsuki?"
<Seraphna> **Sammael pops into the hangar and snags a beer, winking to Drasek**
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Think this'll finally be the time I bite the big on? Could do.
<Xanatos> (one)
<DeathStar> <Ren> I can get my family to watch her if you need me. One moment. *she foxholes a poof, then returns. Yuki stands there holding the baby*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> ... That sister of mine
<Seraphna> Sammael> You are one for doing the heroic sacrifice thing, though I fear it's the Revis attempting that feat this time.
<DeathStar> *As Ren joins Charlotte for heading for the teleporters, Erevis arrives on the bridge with Kyouki, back from Earth*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Everyone's having to do their bit."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hey Mommas.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Aye, I'll be with them.
<Alicia> * Kyouki looks tired, but proud.
<Seraphna> Sammael> Well, try to bring her back in one piece. People are fond of her.
<DeathStar> *Yuki sits with baby Akatsuki, wondering what she can do in the upcoming battle, wiggling a finger at the baby*
<DeathStar> *Adeline works at the teleporter as everyone joins her who is going back to Earth, working on bypassing the Empress' lockout to power it up*
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Might try a bit to make that happen then.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Jaime. *she nods, having Kyouki sit down*
<Seraphna> **Sammael nods** Funny how few remain who can weild hyperspace, against this flood of darkness. You be careful too. I am afraid I will miss watching our shows if you aren't.
<DeathStar> *Adeline powers up the teleporters* There. To Earth. *she steps on it. Ren hops on with Charlotte. And then someone else does as well*
<Seraphna> **Tabetha moves over near Adeline, wearing her EarthGov uniform**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Ack!
<DeathStar> *Adeline eyes Tabetha*
<Seraphna> **Tabetha tilts her head** Well I AM in the Military.
<DeathStar> *and the other person, who is Cheryl* <Cheryl> Eh, it's just a major infracture
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek nods and does a little salute with his beer can.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus slides up and hops on the teleporter too.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I went to the other teleporter.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> **pats Adeline's head** Besides, you're the only daughter that's currently here and not there.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... Fine; it looks like a lot of people want to join us, Charlotte.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not a lot I can do here
<Seraphna> Tabetha> No emotionally supporting Angela? **she teases**
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Worse case Andrea comes and snatches me if she needs me.
<DeathStar> *Adeline gives Tabetha a hug* Alright, *she plugs in Earth's coordinates* Here we go
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Lets go."
<DeathStar> *the teleporters take the team to Earth, which will be seen later when we get back to Earth; meanwhile, Syiean leans forward* <Syiean> We had an unscheduled teleport
<DeathStar> <Empress> ... *hms* Let it go
<Xanatos> <Xan> How'd they unlock them?
<DeathStar> <Empress> Probably one of those engineers
<Seraphna> **Jaime grins to herself**
<DeathStar> <Empress> *leaves a message for Myria on time delay*
<DeathStar> <Empress> There
<Jackieness> <Myria> *tinkers with the shield while the message ticks down*
<DeathStar> *at that moment, the alarms go off; the swarm begins to come out of dark space*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Welp, here's the fun times. **checks to see if any reports come in from the Tree or Kumen/Geyze**
<DeathStar> *a massive trail of ships that just bunches together, flying and moving about like insects almost. Syiean eyes how they move unnatuarally and close together*
<DeathStar> *so far nothing*
<Seraphna> Jaime> So far it's just us.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan sits up and leans forward.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They will try to find weak points on this ship
<Seraphna> **Angela peers out** Huh... that's...
<Seraphna> Angela> That's a hive mind movement pattern.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *steps on to the bridge* "I felt... mmm... ell, it seems you see it too."
<DeathStar> *Ao joins Drasek, adjusting her uniform*
<DeathStar> <Syiean> I am detecting inside those some Erusian ships and a Templar ship.
<DeathStar> <Syiean> They seem to have been transformesd
<Xanatos> <Drasek> They're always changin, eh? 6* He offers a beer to Ao.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah Dark One ships can latch onto other ships and consume them.
* Ariel has joined #TAW-Session525
<Xanatos> <Xan> Should we try not to destroy those?
<Xanatos> <Xan> See if we can recover?
<DeathStar> <Ao> Seems so. Lets just hope we can get through this one more time. No more bad Dark Ones.
<Seraphna> Jaime> No you may as well, if they haven't been rendered useless they'll adapt the technology on them.
<Seraphna> Jaime> And we don't need Dark Ones with Templar cannons.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Ah, figure as long as we exist, they will. No light without dark, eh luv?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> See if you can manage it. Let us head out. *she heads for the hanger. Andrea and Bobbi, the other Dark One leader, joins those gathering in the hanger*
<DeathStar> <Ao> Bleh.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Oh please, stop being so metaphysical."
<Alicia> * Jikuu smiles a bit
<Seraphna> Sammael> Well this is a happy gathering that doesn't at all fill me with anxiety.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan gets them moving forward, prepping shields and weapons.
<DeathStar> *Yuki wanders into the ship to watch everyone head out, holding baby Akatsuki. She peers at a prototype Suisen ship that seems to be based on the Aquarius, musing*
<Seraphna> **Angela launches Betas which begin their own form of swarming around the PAX, many forming shields**
<DeathStar> *the swarm so far seems to just be mindlessly heading for them
<Xanatos> <Xan> You know, those guns that Myria and her crew found could be very useful in this. Perfect for small fighters.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I'd be more anxious if we didn't have our own Dark Ones here."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Kinda wish we had let Momma Megumi set up her Black Hole Mines.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Here is Plan B's positions
<Xanatos> 6* Xan glances over at Erevis
<DeathStar> (Ervis went to the hanger)
<Xanatos> (Oh whoops)
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek is glancing instead, obvi
<DeathStar> *Erevis uses her hyperspace to form a mock PAX ship*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *flips back her hair, looking annoyed* "My mother wishes me to stay as far from whatever scheme she is hatching as possible."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We will, with the Progenitors we have, form a position around the ship. As the swarm comes in, we will be channeling power into either myself or the Empress, while at the same time creating a net to destroy the swarm as it tries to invade the ship, a hypertrap net of sorts. The Empress will gether the power you can spare. The Dark Ones with the book will at the same time be chanting a dangerous spell to weaken the swarm and slow them down so Xanatos can attempt to evade them
<DeathStar> *Andrea looks innocent*
<DeathStar> <Ao> Sounds fun
<Seraphna> Sammael> Well, channeling Hyperspace is what I do best.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Any questions?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "It sounds dangerous, but anything that has a chance to work would be dangerous."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> No question, Revi. Just throw us at em.
<DeathStar> *Erevis nods and teleports outside; the Empress does the same. Ao mumbles about not having done this in ages, then vanishes outside*
<DeathStar> *Wind is out there, musing, adjusting his suit*
* ChadWinters` eyes his datapad briefly. 1"Seem's Weapon XVIII made it on board in time. Should come in handy with my friend here, Durran."
<DeathStar> *Andrea and Bobbi dark port out into space*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Hi Wind!"
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek poofs out to his spot.
<Xanatos> <Xan> How so, Chad?
<DeathStar> *Wind blinks at Jikuu in space, studying her* ... so many of us these days
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I know."
<DeathStar> *Yuki hands Chad a baby and vanishes into the ship*
<Seraphna> **Sammael pops out to help, taking a moment to give Wind a nod, considering who made her**
<ChadWinters`> XVIII can enhance a persons abilities. 6He eyes the baby and shifts it a bit as he brings up his console.
<DeathStar> *Fate seems to have taken a seat on top of the PAX as the swarm begins to near attacking range of the PAX*
<DeathStar> <Aya> Need me to take that? *she asks, overly cheerful for a situation like this*
<ChadWinters`> If you want. 6He holds the beat out to Aya
<ChadWinters`> *bean*
<DeathStar> *Aya takes the baby and holds it
<Xanatos> <Xan> Ah, I imagine the empress will appreciate that.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Alright, almost in range, weapons primed. Be prepared to fire.
<DeathStar> <Syiean> Here they come. *The Empress starts constructing the net, then Erevis connects the line around the ship. Ao continues it*
<Seraphna> **Several of Angela's "Bustah" units, Zephyr inspired, aim cannons and charge blasts for the Swarm as they close into range**
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek connects to Ao
<ChadWinters`> Well, this is going to take a lot of luck. 6His eyes shift silver as he starts focusing on the enemy fleets movements
<DeathStar> *as they prepar it, the swarm begins to smash through through the Betas like they are nothing, even as they lose some, they mow through them, coming right in at the PAX. Prepare yourself Xan*
<Alicia> * Jikuu teleports out to help the other Progenitors
<Seraphna> **Sammael connects to them and even helps spread it, being a conduit being her primary talent**

<DeathStar> *some of the swarm slams against the shields*
<DeathStar> *weakening them*
<Seraphna> **Angela grumbles, putting an order in somewhere for more Betas after all this** At this rate I'm going to have to reveal the Epsilon's Trump Card early...
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Eeeeeee!" *adjusts the shield settings on the console to compensate*
<DeathStar> *As the line continues to Sammael, then Jikuu*
* ChadWinters` clicks his tongue at that.
<DeathStar> <Athena on comms* Should we start up the Song Magic?
<Seraphna> **Jaime helps power the shield**
<Seraphna> **Thena adjusts a pop idol costume**
<Xanatos> <Xan> *c* If you gals got it in you...definitely.
<ChadWinters`> That's my fault Durran. I won't let it happen again
<DeathStar> *Athena turns to Victorire and Thena* If you can sing again after earlier today, do it
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I'm okay."
<Seraphna> **Thena leaps to the ready and nods, starting up**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Alright, any power you can spare, pump it to me or the Empress
<Xanatos> <Xan> We can't always be perfect, make sure those smaller weapons are doing their part.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek pushes his power down the line towards Erevis
<ChadWinters`> 6Someone wearing a tact suit similiar to Chad's steps up beside the hooded person, placing a hang on their shoulder.
<ChadWinters`> *hand*
<DeathStar> *The swarm twirls around and everytime they go through the hyperspace, it does massive damage to them as they moev through the Betas, losing some as they absorb/eat. Syiean meanwhile has been focusing on picking out the Templar ship*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *stumbles in to Athena's theater, still looking like she needs to recoeer from before*
<DeathStar> <Syiean> I got it locked on. Should I try to fire?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Absolutely.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Before it hits us and deals big damage.
<DeathStar> *she fires and wings it, but other ships shift to protect it
<DeathStar> <Syiean> .. sorry
<Seraphna> Jaime> By that movement the ship is key to their strategy.
<Xanatos> <Xan> *C* Athena, Syiean has a corrupted templare ship in her sights, see if you idols can help take it down.
<ChadWinters`> I'm worried that the Beta's are only being absorbed by the Swarm and not destroyed.
<DeathStar> *the Swarm moves in to try to find a weak point again.*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Anything we can do to slow it or ambush it would really screw them over I bet.
<DeathStar> <Athena on comms* We will need a bit of time
<ChadWinters`> Incoming, Durran.

<Alicia> <Victoire> "Take it easy, senpai."
<DeathStar> <Athena> ... are you sure REikana? *she's built a third pod now*
<Seraphna> Angela> Most of them are self detonating when they get taken in, but they've gotten a few before they can do so.
<DeathStar> *the swarm bounces away for now*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "If you need my song!"
<DeathStar> *Athena nods and motions*
<DeathStar> <Athena> Three Song Magics will be enough to do a lot of damage to that thing
<Seraphna> Angela> Naturally my Beta on the Epsilon is severing those connections.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *climbs into the third pod*
<Seraphna> Angela> The sucky part is how much it takes to make those cores, the outer suits are just robotics.
<DeathStar> *The swarm seems to have paused a moment, perhaps preparing something. Just then it begins to glow with dark energy and zooms in rapidly when something strikes it from far way - the spell from Andrea and Bobi*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Honestly...this might be the most insane enemy I've ever faced. Blow up one and it's like there's 2 replacements.
<DeathStar> *it seems to take their power away for a moment and slows them down*
<ChadWinters`> <Idlet> They can't last forever. Hopefully.
<DeathStar> <Syiean> Target has slowed down
<Seraphna> Jaime> Chance to fire!
<Xanatos> <Xan> Lay into them Syiean, maybe we can clear up the path to that templar again.
<Seraphna> **Angela seems to have seen it too because several of her Betas switch to attack and let loose volleys**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmmm...mother, what have you done?"
<DeathStar> *Syiean begins to fire rapidly*
<Alicia> * Victoire prepares for her song.
<DeathStar> *first attack, barely does anything as they blow up a few outer ships, the next seems to pierce more away, the third does just few more, and the next shot seems to blow up enough to reveal the templar ship for moment*
<Seraphna> **Thena meanwhile switches her song to an upbeat attack march to encourage everyone**
<DeathStar> *As they begin to adapt to the spell and begin to shift again*
<ChadWinters`> Templar ship is in sights
<DeathStar> <Syiean> They are moving again
<Seraphna> Jaime> Get an attack in on it.
<DeathStar> <Athena on comms> I can have two small songs fire but they'll be not as powerful
<Seraphna> **Angela frowns and seems to focus, eyes glowing, as the Epsilon spins around under the PAX and fires a cannon for the opening**
<Xanatos> <Xan> *C* Save up for some big ones, as soon as we expose that templar one you can let it rip.
<DeathStar> *Syiean shoots and angela shoots and gets..*
<DeathStar> *Syiean's attack is blocked and Angela's manages to wing it again,the Templar ship now partialy damaged as it's hidden once more*
<Xanatos> <Xan> They know we want it
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *takes a deep breath and gets ready*
<DeathStar> *the swarm begins to move and comes in hard - at the Dark Ones off in the distance*
<DeathStar> <Syiean> I was not expecting that
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...wait... they've found mother!"
<ChadWinters`> They're going after the one's that hindered them the most.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Flanking attack chance it is.
<Xanatos> <Xan> *c* Andrea they're coming for you, can you get away?
<DeathStar> *Syiean nods and fires at their back*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan is moving around for flank attacks to help Syiean.
<DeathStar> *Andrea responds* Not if I want to use more spells. This is good.
<Seraphna> **The Betas switch up and start firing busters**
<DeathStar> *Andrea can be heard chanting*
<Xanatos> <Xan> This is good she says....
<Seraphna> Angela> She loves Chaos.
<DeathStar> *a ship launches and putters after the swarm*
<DeathStar> <Syiean> Prototype ship has launched
<Seraphna> Angela> Wait, by who? Was this in the plan?
<Xanatos> <Xan> No one asks permission to do anything around here.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Who was that? Anyone know?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm..."
<Seraphna> Angela> Okay, sending current Montana and current Winchester to escort.
<Seraphna> **Two Betas break off and move with it**
<DeathStar> *as they wittle the swarm from behind, Xanatos would have the PAX come upon some asteroids. Andrea and Bobbi seem to have created a dark ritual much like the dark ones there, with the dark corruption and everything*
<DeathStar> *Syiean brings up the camera - Yuki, who seems pleased to be in space again*
<Seraphna> Angela> Hey! I just got you fixed up missy!
<DeathStar> *Thena and Victoire's songs finish - REikana's eneds a bit more time*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Songs almost completely ready, let's look for another gap at that Templar ship.
<DeathStar> *meanwhile the Progenitors, benig left along, are almost powered up too - Erevis taking in a lot of the power.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan tries to get them close enough that they can keep the swarm off of the dark one squad.
<DeathStar> *Yuki fires at their back with spiritish bombs, blowing up part of their back when they move into swarm the asteroids and destroy them*
<Xanatos> <Xan> *comm* Be ready, we're going to have opportunity soon. 6* he glances at shield strength.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *continues to sing, trying to charge it up as best she can*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> ... finished. Even if they take this out I got it on delay. Don't worry about me
<DeathStar> <Bobbi> What about me?!
<ChadWinters`> <Idlet> I would suggest keeping space from those asteroids.
<Seraphna> Thena> **is totally still dancing**
<Xanatos> 6* Xan does back them up some, also keeping an eye on Erevis and the progen squah
<Xanatos> (squad)
<DeathStar> *The asteroids seem to be "eaten/destroyed" as they move in for the PAX again*
<DeathStar> *coming in to attack as they glow black and move in quickly*
<DeathStar> Up, Down, Right, Left, Down, Right, Right, Right, Left, Down, Up

<Seraphna> Angela> It occurs to me that if this is a hive mind... there must be a Queen or something. Something has to be coordinating those movements.
<DeathStar> <Empress> We are ready. It is time. Let us begin. *At that moment the swarm shifts reconfiguration and the templar ship appears partially, and fires at the PAX and the Progenitors*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Wouldn't that be a triffle cliche though?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... *eyes Jikuu*
<DeathStar> <Syiean> Incoming!
<Seraphna> **Betas shift in the way to block some of it as they can**
<Xanatos> <Xan> There is it. Fire! *on comm*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Sis, time to fire!
<DeathStar> *the Betas go poof*
<Alicia> * Jikuu gets the hell out of the way of the shot, teleporting if she has to
<DeathStar> <Athena> song magic!
<Seraphna> **Thena sings and blasts with love!**
<Xanatos> 6* Xan tries to get them shfited for a glancing blow at the worst.
<DeathStar> *The templar shot hits the PAX*
<Alicia> * Victoire puts all her heart and soul into this song!
<DeathStar> * but not directly, though their shields go wild*
<Seraphna> Angela> Ack... feedback from losing that many at once suuuuuucks. '
<Xanatos> <Xan> Fuck...that did a number on us
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *finishes off her song, finally*
<DeathStar> *the Song magics from the two strike the templar ship as it begins to sink in*
<Seraphna> **Jaime closes her eyes, calming, and starts stabilizing the shield energy.**
<DeathStar> *right at that moment, something begins to appear in the swarm, like dark vines, making the swarm look like it's being tangled up*
<DeathStar> <Syiean> Shields are all over the place
<Xanatos> <Xan> Heads up, something new...
<Seraphna> Jaime> Working on it...
<ChadWinters`> <Idlet> Myria will have to do what she can to stabilize them.
<DeathStar> *As Jikuu brings off, the connection is broken. The Swarm tries to come in to take advantage of it*
<DeathStar> *breaks*
<ChadWinters`> <Idlet> Thats maybe what Andrea and Bobbi planned.
<DeathStar> <Empress> I think it's take. *she moves in and touches Erevis*
<DeathStar> *time
<Seraphna> **Sammael tries to redirect the load and connect people**
<DeathStar> <Empress> Anyone with spare energy fire into the swarm and protect the PAX
<Jackieness> <Myria> *works on the console to adjust the shields back to a stable pattern*
<DeathStar> <Ao> ... spare energy she says
<DeathStar> <Wind> ... *one handed fires into it while it's tangled*
<Seraphna> **Sammael nods, taking her current load and snapping her finger, pulling off a Thena move as two nodes appear some distance away and start firing cutting beams into the swarm**
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "...ah, sorry..." *moves back in*
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Hm. 6* He begins to fire what he can as well.
<ChadWinters`> The swarm is tied up. Now's a good time to clear out what we can.
<DeathStar> *The Empress and Erevis warp into the swarm*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hmmmph..." *flips ehr hair back with a hand* "...just choose your targets as to not free them."
<DeathStar> <Ao> What is she doing?
<Seraphna> **Angela lets out a cackle as the Epsilon finishes a charge and blasts into the swarm**
<Seraphna> Jaime> Momma...
<Xanatos> <Xan> *c* Careful with those shots don't hit the big Es. 6* He looks tense as he watches.
<DeathStar> *at that moment, the temple ship emerges once more, as it's tangled, to try to get the PAX*
<DeathStar> <Syiean> The templar ship has returned
<Seraphna> Thena> Rei's song ready!
<DeathStar> <Athena> Reikana.
<Xanatos> <Xan> *C* Reikana, fire on that sucker.
<ChadWinters`> Templar ship has re-emerged.
<DeathStar> *Syiean fires as well*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *releases ehr built up song power on the Templar ship*
<Seraphna> **Thena sings as they do, amplified, using her Damage Boosting Song**
<Xanatos> 6* Xan nods to Syiean about to tell her the same but she has it covered.
<DeathStar> *Reikana gets a 1 and blows the ship's canon in half; it sinking into the swarm broken; the swarm tries once more to get Xanatos*
<DeathStar> *coming in at the PAX*
<Seraphna> Angela> Someone really has to explain to me how that girl's singing makes things explode harder.

<Jackieness> <Noire> "She's my twin sister. That is more than enough, I think."
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Don't underestimate idols."
<DeathStar> *He moves the PAX out of the way when the swarm begins to read a ton of hyperspace energy*
<ChadWinters`> <Idlet> Are they going critical?
<DeathStar> *the ship fires spirit bombs into it and moves off, Yuki tries to get into the PAX*
<DeathStar> <Ao> ... *she grabs Jikuu*
<DeathStar> <Ao> Lets go kid
<Alicia> * Jikuu nods, happily accepting the offer to retreat.
<DeathStar> *Wind warps the stragglers out of there as Syiean moves the PAX back; a moment or two later, the swarm overloads with hyperspace energy, the equivalent of a bomb*
<Seraphna> **Yuki is helped by her two Beta companions that cover her escape, Montana #2343 exploding some distance away to give more cover**
<DeathStar> *The swarm being utterly wiped out*
<DeathStar> *Yuki gets out and lets out a breath* Whew
* ChadWinters` eyes shift back from their silver to their normal color as he takes a deep breath
<Seraphna> **Jaime stands up and walks to the monitor, looking out into it**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "*plants her hands on her hips, looking annoyed* "Where is the trick>?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Is she out there?
<DeathStar> <Syiean> Scanning.
<DeathStar> *Erevis appears on the bridge a moment later, her form jerky as her hyperspace looks a bit wobbily*
<Seraphna> **Jaime moves over to steady her**
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mom!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... *makes a face, straining to maintain her form* I am fine
<ChadWinters`> And the Empress?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I find it hard to believe the awarm would crumble so quickly."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... *shakes her head* She used herself as she planned for the other PAX
<Seraphna> Jaime> Fine? I'm taking you to medical. **she frowns**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The gathered hyperspace inside herself as a bomb
<ChadWinters`> I assume that was the plan.
<Seraphna> **Jaime jerks a bit and looks down**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> IT was down to which one of us was stronger for it
<Seraphna> Jaime> I see...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Head for Earth if you would, Syiean. *she heads for medical as asked, still having difficulty with her form*
<ChadWinters`> We can grieve later. We have others to help.
<Seraphna> **Jaime takes her there**
<DeathStar> *Syiean pauses, then inputs the coordinates*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And where is my mother?!"
<DeathStar> *Erevis peers at Noire, as if it was obvious after a bomb of hyperspace, then shrugs* Andrea is tricky. She may have escaped
<Xanatos> <Xan> Good work everyone. 6* He says over the comm, then nods to Syiean for taking over and heads after Erevis
<Seraphna> Angela> She might have gone back to the mansion, Noire.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "... ... ..." *turns and stomps off the bridge*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Earth - Space
<DeathStar> *as the massive Tsivrixsh ship floats over Earth, preparing to descend onto Earth, another ship approaches from behind. The Aquarius comes in steathily*
<DeathStar> <Selena> I confess, I do not know much about space or these aliens
<DeathStar> <Selena> Other than they are annoying
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> They are also bad
<Xanatos> <Pepper> I think that's what is most important.
<Seraphna> Cookie> They're mostly conflict addicted.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Tactical, analysis."
<DeathStar> *Mirei monitors all the problems on Earth* I am detecting a lot of attacks on Earth by them. But we also have this massive ship threatening the planet
<Seraphna> **Cookie munches on a brownie** They should learn the dangers of addiction. **nods**
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Do we have anything on the Tsivirxsh dreadnought?"
<DeathStar> *the Mew Mew flies in behind them*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Nothing other than the radio chatter about Dark Ones
<Seraphna> Cookie> It's big and full of angry blue people.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Weapons ready. Tell me who to target.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "So... Space bullies?"
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Space bullies
<Jackieness> <Airym> "that is a reasonable assumption. However, we require somethign to assist the Erth defenders against it."
<Seraphna> Cookie> Two weeks paid vacation after we win?
<DeathStar> <Selena> Well do you think if we stop this ship it'll end, or should we go down to the surface and use our fire power to provide cover for the Earth people?
<DeathStar> *The Mew Mew does tricks*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "The Tsivirxsh soldiers will undoubtedly continue to fight ratehr than surrender, even if their leaders fall."
<Seraphna> Cookie> Depends on what the next leader says rigth?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Correct. Tactical, updates on Earth itself?"
<DeathStar> *it seems Earth has beams of light into the sky to disable dragoons*
<DeathStar> <Mirei> *has it show on the screens* Also the President might be in the ship
<Seraphna> Cookie> Hrm, I'm no good down there.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> OH if he's inside the big thing then we can't blow it up.
<Seraphna> Cookie> I'm literally half NGD and half Alpha.
<DeathStar> <Mirei> It seems it would have disabled you even in space
<DeathStar> <Mirei> Yet you are unaffected.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "The most actionable course is to disable those Dragoon-dampening weapons. Contact the Mew MEw and apprise them of our plan. They take one hemispehere and we start with the other."
<Seraphna> **Cookie blinks**
<Seraphna> Cookie> Maybe it's because I'm so awesome?
<DeathStar> <Mirei> I have a theory!
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Proceed with your theory."
<DeathStar> *Mirei contacts the Mew Mew and Cypher flies downward; the massive ship begins to target them as it too flies downward*
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper lets the Mew Mew know the plan
<DeathStar> <Mirei> It is because we came in late
<Xanatos> <Pepper> What the hell is hitting atmoshphere too!?
<Seraphna> **Cookie tilts her head** So... Dragoons that come in after the light should be okay?
<DeathStar> <Mirei> I think it plans to land here
<DeathStar> *she shows Mega City*
<DeathStar> <Mirei> Crushing the city
<Seraphna> Cookie> No not Mega City! PROTECT TONY'S PIZZA!
<DeathStar> <Mirei> But we still have time
<DeathStar> *Mirei coughs* About 20 minutes
<Seraphna> Cookie> Ladies, the best Pizza in the universe is in danger. We must not fail.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina whispers to Nicolette* Pizza?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "That suggests a rather desperate act then. Cookie, can we charge the spirit engines to jump the enemy command ship away from Earth? "
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "...is the pizza really THAT good?"
<Seraphna> Cookie> If Mirei thinks she can do it, we can do anything.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Honestly if they crush Tony's I might have to retire, I'll be too depressed.
<Seraphna> Cookie> And yes! Pizza is a way of life!
<DeathStar> <Selena> You can use your spirit engines on other ships?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I am seeking options."
<DeathStar> <Mirei> Hm. I can try it.
<DeathStar> <Mirei> But I might be disabled.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> We can try to shoot engines and fuck up its trajectory?
<DeathStar> *Mirei has flashbacks*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Not too many! It might flatten the pizza!"
<Seraphna> Cookie> Earth's Atmosphere is pretty thick, if we can change enough of it, even a ship that big will start to break up in the heat barrier.
<DeathStar> <Mirei> I will attempt it.
<DeathStar> *She sinks into the floor*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Mirei, make preparations in the event that we cannot successfully dissuade their course of action."
<Seraphna> Cookie> Roasting like a All Meat All Veggie Pizzarama Slice.
<DeathStar> *the spirit engines begin to charge up and it's clear Mirei is running the calculations rapidly. AT times like this, she might would have Erica help out her out in some amazing wild Mirei/Erica moment, that would have Erica lose her body for months, but she just runs it alone*
<DeathStar> *the ship moves in and lands on top of the giant ship and begins to power up the engines more, trying to pull the other ship*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Wait, won't this break us up too?
<Seraphna> **Cookie closes her eyes and then they grow dim as she starts tapping rapidly at her console, adding to Mirei's processing with her own, time sensitive processing.
<Seraphna> Cookie> For... Tony's!
<Xanatos> <Pepper> It might not.
<DeathStar> *there's a jump alright and a moment or two later, the group finds themselves falling*
<DeathStar> *The Aquarius spinning down toward the ground, as the giant ship remains in the air, not moving at least*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Anyone else getting that falling sensation?
<DeathStar> <Selena> Getting air...sick...
<Xanatos> <Pepper> We're falling !
<Jackieness> <Airym> *assists Mirei with her processing power*
<Seraphna> **Cookie muses, then rushes over to the pod and pours Spirit Energy into it**
<Seraphna> Cookie> Wakey wakey!
<DeathStar> *Mirei does not respond, apparently having fried herself for the moment, but as the two do it, she seems to get a flicker of consciousness and stops the ship, right over Charlotte and Adeline's team*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... *peers up at the ship*
<Seraphna> **Cookie looks around**
<Seraphna> Cookie> Ah good, it worked.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Sister is not pancake.
<DeathStar> *the Aquarius then flops onto th ground, powering down as Mire is ejected, smoking*
<Seraphna> Cookie> ...Mom too.
<DeathStar> <Selena> ... I think... I will no longer take ships...
<DeathStar> <Selena> Just horseback...
<DeathStar> *she goes outside to be sick*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "S-space horses...?"
<Seraphna> **Cookie picks Mirei up and carries her over to the medical bay**
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Get Mirei to sickbay. Cookie, run engineering diagnostics."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> There's space horses?!
<Seraphna> Cookie> First one, then the other!
<Xanatos> <Pepper> That went better than expected.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "What's going on?"
<DeathStar> *Cheryl and Ren study the group*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> What the hell is happenign up there?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It looks like it's raining magical girls
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Someone get the Mew Mew's status."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> It always does that around here.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl peers up at the giant Tsivrixsh ship that's no longer descending*
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper tries to connect with the MewMew and make sure they're okay
<Seraphna> Cookie> Hey... we seem to have stopped it moving at least!
<DeathStar> *it looks like the Mew Mew is doing it's mission to destroy the beams of lights*
<Seraphna> Cookie> For Tonys!!!
<Xanatos> <Pepper> They're out there fighting.
<Seraphna> **Cookie puts Mirei on a spirit device to charge and makes her comfy**
<Xanatos> <Marcus> So what's our goal here? 6* He asks those he came with.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "apprise them of our situaiton and that they may need to cover for us."
<Seraphna> Tabetha> I assume save the planet. We do that a lot.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> We're here to find a super weapon. *she seems to have avoided contacting Kane yet*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> You?
<Xanatos> <Pepper> We tried to teleport that big ship away.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You know you need to tell him sooner or later you're here in the middle of a war zone.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> I think your president man is in there.
<Seraphna> Cookie> We saved Tony's Pizza!
<DeathStar> <Ren> You did what?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Tony is underrated. I like Katrina's pizza
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Things are bigger than just a pizza place. Even if it's really good pizza."
<Seraphna> Cookie> The Tsiv were going to crush it... and Mega City.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Makes sense Dias would be up in that ship, his team probably stopped it from dropping, no you all.
<Xanatos> (not)
<Seraphna> **Cookie points at Ren** You are entitled to your wrong opinion!
<DeathStar> <Selena> Hmph. Your President probably is being tortured and we saved him
<DeathStar> *crosses her arms*
<DeathStar> *eyes Marcus*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Apparently he took Reese with him.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> I assume he felt lonely without Marcus.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I don't know these people
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Charlotte Mizukaze."
<DeathStar> <Selena> Selena Hapian
<Seraphna> Cookie> Oh, Selena, this is my Mom, Tabetha, and my sister, Adeline... and this is Cheryl, Marcus, Charlotte and my cousin Ren.
<DeathStar> *Selena nods and motions* This is Nicolette.
<DeathStar> *for the others*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> *doubletakes* "Oh, I forgot you hadn't met... eheh."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Anyway
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Time to move on, Adeline?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> We should get going. If any of you want to come along please do. Magical girls might help. And uh, the rest of you
<Seraphna> Cookie> I gotta get the Aquarius back up and running. Good luck!
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Nah. Have fun though.
<DeathStar> *Adeline trudges on*
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper holds up the peace sign and goes back to work on getting the ship going.
<Seraphna> Cookie> We'll come to save you after the evil superweapon inevitably backfires! **she heads back to the ship**
<DeathStar> *Selena taps her fingers, eyeing the sword and knowing nothing about them*
<DeathStar> *Ren and Cheryl follow Adeline*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> You know, I think she might be getting cynical.
<DeathStar> *the ship even
<Seraphna> **Tabetha follows the others**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Cookie? No. You don't say.
<DeathStar> *she says sarcatic*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Mmhmm!
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "On the one hand, superweapons are dangerous. On the other, I'm insulted by the insinuation that I'd just activate it regardless of it being an evil superweapon."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Why did you name your kid after a snack?
<Ariel> * Nicolette pats Selena on the shoulder, "You're worth at least a magical girl, don't worry."
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Cookies are the best.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Thanks
<DeathStar> *those that go with Adeline's team, finds themselves in the swamplands as promised.*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Why not some badass name like.....well shit I can't think of anything.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... Hm. *she eyes the coordinates*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Bertha is a good name.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What kind of super weapon could be out here?
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus makes a face, focusing on not losing his footing.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Almost anything.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I hope it's as strong as the space lasers."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> What's the chance this is just a trap?
<Seraphna> Tabetha> 1 in 27.
<DeathStar> *Adeline soon pauses near a tree* This should be it. *Adeline taps her comm* Dad, this is me. We're at the coordinates Venerator provided. *She finally announces she is on Earth*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Higher than I'm comfortable with, not high enough to turn back."
<Xanatos> <Kane> *C* You're what!?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> We got messages about the super weapon of V.I's. So we came to get it for you
<DeathStar> *Adeline looks around, just finding muck, a log, and a rotten tree*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Venerator gave info about a VI superweapon. We're looking for it."
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Me and Cheryl are with her. **pipes up**
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I needed to get out of the house
<Xanatos> <Kane> *C* I only told X's team about it, if someone sent you a message they want you there, be VERY careful.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I haven't seen X
<DeathStar> *Cheryl motions and rubs on the tree, revealing a handprint*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Mm, yes, I don't... **she feels out into the future a bit and also searches for mental patterns**
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Secret
<Xanatos> 6* Kane is likely about to lose it on Venerator, trying to get some satellite footage of the area.
<DeathStar> *Venerator sips his drink*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Well, this is feeling..."
<DeathStar> <Venerator> How is Darien? Is he old yet? I lose track of the time
<Alicia> * Charlotte feels out in the future too.
<Xanatos> <Kane> None of us seem to age or die. 6* he says dryly
<Xanatos> <Kane> *C* Venerator is here beside me, surely planning all of this and feeling smug. I'll see if I can reach X, but Adeline listen to me, the weapon may be something to do with you or charlotte, don't take any risks, if it seems like that leave immediately.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *c* Understood
<DeathStar> *Charlotte would see the future of the code to input*
<DeathStar> *meanwhile, Nicolette would get the feeling of bad feels due to V.I machinations*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Not getting any thought patterns besides ourselves so far.
<Ariel> * Nicolette shuffles her cards idly, keeping her eyes open.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina flails, almost falling into the muck*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus sniffs around, trying to get the scent of anyone familiar that may have been here before them and had a bad time.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Ew
<DeathStar> *X was here recently*
<DeathStar> *likely having rippled into the base*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> X's team was here, I can smell her.
<Alicia> * Charlotte nods to Marcus. "That's almost reassuring."
<DeathStar> *Adeline motions at Nicolette* I don't know how I feel about him smelling us a girl
<Xanatos> <Marcus> They're inside, if they're not responding something may have happened.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "It's okay. I think he's more dog than man."
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Or it's far down below and shielded.
<DeathStar> *Ren inputs the code, bonded to Charlotte*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh I know all of your smells. It's fucking gross.
<DeathStar> *Adeline snickers*
<DeathStar> *The tree opens up to a platform*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Here we go
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Thanks."
<DeathStar> *Ren steps onto as does Charlotte, Adeline, and Sabrina*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps on as well.
<Seraphna> **Tabetha gets on**
<DeathStar> *the platform takes them down into a lab and the lights come on.*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Only mostly spooky.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> If I had a credit for every spooky lab I've been in...
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Something about abandoned labs is usually spooky."
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Even for a spooky lab, I don't think I'd want to build here."
<DeathStar> *It seems to be a science lab with various projects, one including genetics and other stuff. Adeline frowns, likely knowing that it could be related to her and Charlotte and who knows else, but in the back there's a massive rail gun platform. However, a spider machine is busy trying to destroy X*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Sometimes it's worse if it's not abandoned."
<DeathStar> *and is smashing the databases*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus jerks to run past them, going wolfy mid-run to leap on the back of the spiderbot.
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel darts to it's side having come with X to back her up. 1"This thing is annoying."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Okay, I guess we fight a giant robot spider now."
<Seraphna> **Tabetga tries grabbing it up with Goddess TK**
<DeathStar> *the spider jerks in place*
<Alicia> * Charlotte sends tendrils to tie up the spider.
<DeathStar> *X ripple slashes at the legs as it gets tied up more*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus digs at its back trying to get to the good bits
<DeathStar> <X> IT seems designed to ignore my ripples
<DeathStar> *Marcus' claws rips into it, but it keeps repairing itself slowly*
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> Considering who probably built it, it was probably designed to combat Weapons.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Auto-heal. 6* He gurgles in wolf voice.
<DeathStar> *Adeline goes to the projects, looking it up* It needs a powerful blast to take it out
<Ariel> * Nicolette summons up earth to trip up the legs and make it easier to target.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Or multiple smaller ones rapidly
<DeathStar> *The spider falls over, really struggling now*
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel darts up one of it's legs and slams her blade in to a joint, releasing electricity in to it.
<Seraphna> Tabetha forms her guns and uses 1000 Shots**
<DeathStar> *Cheryl rushes in to attack with her whips with Tabetha*
<DeathStar> *Ren hops in and claws with Marcus*
<DeathStar> *it takes time, but being tied up, they slowly dismantle it*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... that was the slowest fight I ever saw.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "The webbed spider that protects the secret weapon of the... lab."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> But congratulations on the high combo
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus shifts back down to himself giving Ren a fist bump.
<DeathStar> *Ren grins*
<DeathStar> *Adeline checks out the rail gun platform* Hm. I'm not really one that knows how to aim these things.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Mmm, the biggest hitters are all busy I suppose.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Shame Cassandra isn't here.
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel lands on the ground and moves over to a terminal, eyeing it over.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She'd love to fire thi
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> This isn't much of a super weapon of it's stationary here.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'm genuinely impressed at the size of it. How would this further along Venerator's plans?
<Seraphna> Tabetha> I can aim, though using Foresight could work as well.
<Alicia> * Charlotte checks the computers, checking how bad the damage is.
<DeathStar> *it can be rapaired and Charlotte can get at the secrets inside later*
<DeathStar> *Adeline opens the notebook* I don't think it is. Hold on
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> I mean don't get me wrong, whatevers in front of it will be ruined but it's limited to what it can attack if it's stuck here.
<DeathStar> *she hits a button near the weapon and they all begin to rise up except Charlotte, who can rush and leap onto it. The platform begins to go up into the swamp*
<DeathStar> *Ren eeps and hangs on*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... up we go
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It'd be a really bad weapon if it couldn't be aimed."
<DeathStar> *it leaves the labs behind. X looks around as they emerge, the swamp water being pushed aside and sits in the air*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> There you go, Cel
<Xanatos> <Marcus> That big Tsiv ship was in orbit last we knew, could see if it works on that.
<DeathStar> *Adeline comms Kane and shows lets him tap into her datapad to see al lthis*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Surely Dias is out of it by now?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... yeah. Sure.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I wish I knew enough to give this a check over. Not my field."
<Xanatos> 6* Kane peers at it, then glances at Venerator.
<DeathStar> <Venerator> Just aim and fire, if any of them know how. I could guide them if you want
<DeathStar> *Venerator studies the Tsivrixsh ship on one screen, then Kane's screen with the team*
<Xanatos> <Kane> I am sure they will be fine. I'm more curious why the sudden help.
<DeathStar> <Venerator> They're family. Why wouldn't I help?
<DeathStar> *Adeline eyes Charlotte*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Okay. Should I try future vision and aim this if no one wants to try?
<Seraphna> **Tabetha moves over** I can.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Alright, it's all yours.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> ... *stands by Nicolette* This won't back fire and take over the world will it?
<Xanatos> 6* Kane keeps his sarcastic reply to himself assuming this is basically a test scenario for his work or something.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...well that wasn't a thought in my head but now I'm expecting that to happen.
<Alicia> * Charlotte uses her future vision to assist, and make sure the weapon does what it's supposed to
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "That would be weird... I just hope it doesn't blow up anyone we like."
<Seraphna> **Tabetha sets it up to aim and makes sure the rail gun charges** Insert badass quote here.
<DeathStar> -Earth Shift-
<DeathStar> *The Aquarius team manages to repair itself as the Tsivrixsh begins to lower itself again*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Great. Should we go in there and try to stop it? Or what?
<Seraphna> Cookie> We must save Tony’s.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> I think we have too, right? No one else around is helping?
<DeathStar> *The Mew Mew reports success and the Dragoons fly up to try to blow up the ship, but being tiny Dragoons they are not doing much*
<DeathStar> *Selena takes a seat as Mirei blows a court into the ship*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Take us in Cookie
<Seraphna> **Cookie nods and flies them at it**
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper readies the weapons to fire once they're in range.
<DeathStar> *As they approach the ship, Mirei begins to give coordinates to where she thinks the core of the ship is to destroy it*

<DeathStar> <Mirei> At this time, the President is still high up in the ship and most likely did not get the message
<Xanatos> <Kane> *c* Firing an experiemental rail cannon, all friendlies near the big ship please retreat.
<DeathStar> <Mirei> Should we try to find him?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Scans, can you find Dias?"
<Seraphna> Cookie> Well I guess so.
<DeathStar> *Mirei pinpoints his location high up*
<DeathStar> <Mirei> I can try to shoot the spirit cannons to do a short cut
<Xanatos> <Pepper> let's do it!
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Make it so."
<Seraphna> Cookie> Let's punch it!
<DeathStar> *powers them up for Pepper*
<DeathStar> <Mirei> Done
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper look at Dias' direction and fires near not at wink.
<Seraphna> **Cookie summons all her stamina, prepared to abuse Ace of Spades**
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Giving them the sauce Mi!
<DeathStar> *Mirei flies upward and they arrive at the bridge, where Commander Kru'ul is facing Dias and Reese. Kru'ul stumbles a bit at the arrival of the ship*
<DeathStar> *Fate sits on a console*
<Seraphna> **Cookie taps the comms** This is the part where we say you're outgunned, Mr. Angry Blueberry Man.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Yo we gotta go, this is gonna blow. 6* She into the comm.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I told you you weren't going to win this. 6He spits blood to the ground.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Please unform Dias that this vessel has only moments left and to please board for extraction."
<DeathStar> <Blue> ... What?
<DeathStar> *she peers aroundDias*
<DeathStar> <Kru'ul> .... I fight for my honor. I cannot surrender unless the order comes in
<Xanatos> 6* Cole sits up, probably getting beat down in the fight.
<DeathStar> *He steps forward* For all the men your people wiped out with your dirty tactics
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Then lets take it outside. 6He backs up towards the ship, hopping on to it.
<Xanatos> <Cole> ...our ship is so far away.
<Seraphna> Reese> You don't get to complain as the agressor, asshat.
<DeathStar> *Blue runs for the Aquarius. Kru'ul eyes Reese, waving him to the Aquarius* Go
<DeathStar> *probably having heard the warning*
<Seraphna> **Reese moves for the ship, and gives Dias a use of luck as he does**
<Xanatos> 6* Cole pushes himself to his feet and runs after Blue.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> There's no honor in death Kru'ul.
<DeathStar> *Kr'ul eyes them go, then - does not follow, moving to his console and begins to issue orders*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Can I use my authority of this ship's big guns to order a surrender?
<DeathStar> <Mirei> He is issuing orders for his people to evacuate
<DeathStar> <Mirei> Which we should do as well
<Seraphna> Cookie> Oh, well that's noble.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Time to go! **she confirms the others are on board before starting to move the ship**
<DeathStar> *at that moment the rail gun fires*
<Seraphna> **Cookie hits Ace of Spades and starts zooming them out**
<Xanatos> 6* Peppers tries to fire a way for them out of the ship
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Escape route now."
<DeathStar> *Pepper makes a short cut again and busts out as the rail gun slams into the ship, blowing a hole through it and it begins to fall. Escape pods begin to fall as the ship falls over Mega City*
<DeathStar> <Mirei> Tony Pizza will be flattened. As well as half the city
<Xanatos> <Pepper> WHAT!?
<DeathStar> <Mirei> It is falling
<Seraphna> Cookie> NOOOOOO!
<DeathStar> *the ship however begins to steer away from the city*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> .....whew
<Seraphna> **Cookie gasps** It's a Pizza Miracle!
<Xanatos> <Cole> What just happened?
<DeathStar> <Mirei> I correct my mistake
<DeathStar> <Blue> It looks like it's course correcting it's fall.
<DeathStar> *the the ship crashes outside it and blows up, Kru'ul slumped oer the helm due to the battle with Dias, super epic, 5 stars*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Wait... is the mean blueberry being cool?
<DeathStar> *at that moment, the order to surrender comes in over Kane's comms for the Tsivrixsh*
<DeathStar> <Venerator> Ah, look. The war is over
<DeathStar> *He rises and moves off*
<Seraphna> Cookie> **sniffs** We will honor his memory by having a deep dish with extra spicy toppings.
<Xanatos> <Kane> ...another time, then.
<DeathStar> *X meanwhile ripples Adeline and the others into Mega City and peers up*
<DeathStar> <X> Well. It's done.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> That will be a fight I won't soon forget.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Insert secondary epic quote here.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...I haven't been home in a while. I missed this ol smelly place.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It is kind of nice to be back
<DeathStar> *Lemon rejoins KAne and watches Venerator go*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> ... Hmph.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Ah fuck, is that a Tony's? I hate that place.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Bring us in for a landing."
<Xanatos> <Kane> My thoughts exactly.
<Seraphna> **Tabetha covers Marcus' mouth**
<Seraphna> Tabetha> You know not the terror you unleash.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... adults.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...it's canned sauce Tabetha.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I try to ignore them. It was fun working with you, Nicolette,.
<Seraphna> **Cookie moves the ship in for a landing**
<Ariel> * Nicolette summons air and water to get the swamp junk off the party.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *nods her head in thanks to Nicolette*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Yes, but Cookie loves it.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Unculutured. Pfft.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Time to start cleaning up this mess.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm glad we can argue about things like which pizza is best again."
<DeathStar> *Ren pulls Charlotte close as Selena, once they're landed, moves to make sure Nicolette is safe and glances at the Tsivrixsh moving to report to EarthGov militry to surrender, not looking happy*
<Seraphna> Reese> I don't suppose I get to apply for hazard pay.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> You were getting paid?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> LEts hope we can avoid the resentment this time
<Xanatos> 6* Cole motions to Blue that they should leave before they get stuck with cleaning.
<Seraphna> Reese> You generally have to pay your military.
<DeathStar> *Blue nods*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Things went smooth. No problems. Surprisingly."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Their faces seem to be pretty resentful. 6* He walks over to slap Dias' ass in greetings.
<Xanatos> 6* Peppers fucks right off to Tony's
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Wait...you're in the miliatry and not some weird stalker guy desperately wanting to replace my Marc---HEY! 6He turns high fiving Marcus in return.
<DeathStar> - SCENE SHIFt(we'll try to do more Earth stuff after Ancients -
<DeathStar> Date: 19,966 5.16
<DeathStar> Location: Kumen, the Croza Battle Ship
<DeathStar> *The Croza Battle Ship, the super large ship that has been sucking up pieces of Kumen and Croza technology from all over the planet to form this large ship, has been growing larger and wiped out all the good Croza (cont)
<DeathStar> *Gaia and Gale have taken Ellie to Geyze to protect her and the other heroes and all that remains is those who have been sucked up into the ship now to do final battle with the Croza, but it is clear they cannot be beaten, they are too numerous - so why are they still fighting?
<DeathStar> *standing before them and the hatch is the nuclear spirit*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> We need to go before she blasts us
<DeathStar> *The spirit is already putting her hands out as Aska hands Simon something*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *swipes her hand, recalling a spell from her console to slow down the nuclear spirit*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon nods to Aska and forms a rune to pull up an ice wall behind her as he throws the trap for her.
<DeathStar> *Neekito throws herself at the nuclear spirit as even slowed, she throws her and out, burning the trap to pieces*
<Alicia> * Ceilidh prepares to attempt to block the incoming attack with a block of lead. That blocks radiation, so it might help?
<DeathStar> *it then turns to Neekito and grapples with her, the two radiating deadly radiation*
<DeathStar> *the lead does indeed hel*
<DeathStar> <Celes> This cannot be good.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *just looks at Simon* "...do you have another one...?"
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "That should buy us time... can we get to the hatch?"
<Sara> <Liana> ... *she looks at the two with concern, worried that things will go even more, well, nuclear*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Lady Aska may
<DeathStar> *Gwen tries to work his way past them and monkey his way up to the hatch*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I do not believe your flesh will be able to handle the prolonged radiation.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "There is a reactor's worth of nuclear fire in the room with the hatch."
<Ariel> * A blast of spirit energy flies at the nuclear spirit from a side passage.
<DeathStar> *the spirit is hit, surprised*
<Seraphna> **Alita muses, then forms a spirit barrier to give them safe passage, raising a brow**
<DeathStar> *Neekito stands there, her hands smoking and flesh burnt*
<DeathStar> *the nuclear spirit turns her head, looking enraged in that insane way*
<Ariel> <Ida> *forms a blade of energy from one gauntlet as she approaches slowly, the other hand raised to fire another blast*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...n...now!"
<Seraphna> **Talia murmurs, then casts a healing spell on Neekito**
<Xanatos> 6* Simon tries to shift around to get to the hatch with Gwen.
<DeathStar> *The spirit is hit again and begins to zomo at Ida and tries to flash fry her. As Neekito is healed, she tries to drain her nuclear powers*
<DeathStar> *Gwen and Simon slowly begin to turn it*
<Alicia> * Ceilidh hurries over towards the hatch, creating more blocks to help reach it
<Jackieness> <Lana> *moves around to try to get to the hatch too*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Almost...almost...
<ChadWinters`> 6Id floats up.
<DeathStar> *a cool wind appears, cooling the heat off in the hallway, and Ellie drops in and Gale strikes the nuclear spirit from behind, getting a strike of nuclear power with a wave of her hand, it focused on Ida and Neekito*
<Ariel> * Ida darts to the side, slashing the spirit. She doesn't seem to be particularly worried about the radiation, and is more focused on just keeping it angry.
<DeathStar> *the group manages to open the hatch to the next level*
<ChadWinters`> 6Id makes an adubile ding noise. 1"Ignore that. That's just a radiation level warning.
<Seraphna> **Talia kitty climbs through**
<DeathStar> *the spirit peers at itself in shock while Aska holds the spirit traps in hand*
<DeathStar> <Aska> I will try to trap it while Ida keeps it busy
<DeathStar> <Aska> Though it might be better if Ida destroys it
<Sara> <Ellie> Neekito! Are you okay?
<Seraphna> Alita> **seems to have been planning something, but stuffs pure Void energy away for the time being**
<DeathStar> <Neekito> ... *pants* I am ... fine... *she seems to be suffering from using her radiation powers she mimiced off the spirit. She slides in and drains more of the power from it, making the wounds more apparant that Ida caused*
<DeathStar> *the second level seems less mazey than the first as Gwen and Celes and the others stand up there*
<Seraphna> **Talia looks up to see if there's another passage up or if they have to navigate again**
<DeathStar> *the area seems to be more basic, left or right*
<Sara> <Ellie> Neekito, you don't look like you're doing good at all... I'm here...
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Since there's no up, left or right?" *tries to work it out*
<DeathStar> *Neekito leaps back near ellie. ...right. *she falls to one knee, resting*
<DeathStar> *Gale eyes the fight* I fear my power will just spread radiation
<Ariel> * Ida attempts to stab the spirit as Neekito drains.
<Sara> * Ellie has her weapon drawn in sword form, just in case, but braces Neekito with one arm
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Let me try something..." *tries pinging the surrounding area to find a good direction to take*
<Seraphna> **Alita peers around the next level and sniffs**
<Xanatos> 6* Simon glances, looking to the left but waiting to see if Lana's idea works
<Sara> <Liana> Lady Gale, perhaps you can at least blow it away from us to make things a bit safer?
<DeathStar> *Ida stabs the spirit and it winces, not used to being damaged in this way, it's form it fading out a bit. Aska steps up and touches the trap onto it* <Aska> Thank you, Ida. Silly Spirit, I saved you with this trap.
<DeathStar> *Gale nods and blows the trap far away*
<DeathStar> <Gale> There
<DeathStar> *it seems to the right there is more power sources, so that might be the way to go*
<Ariel> * Ida simply nods, and extinguishes the energy blade, moving to follow.
<DeathStar> *Neekito leans against Ellie, and nods to the hatch* I think the others are leaving us. *Gale helps float Ellie and Neekito up to the next floor*
<Sara> <Ellie> We won't be left behind that easily. Just save your strength as we move along. I'll help you.
<DeathStar> *Neekito nods, seeming to be recovering slowly being near her*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I am reding a large concentration of pwoer signatures this way..." *starts walking*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I didn't know you could beat a spirit like that Ida. *he comments, peering back at her*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Good work everyone. 6* He says tot hem as they join them, then moves to follow Lana.
<Sara> <Ellie> I couldn't just leave you, y'know...
<ChadWinters`> 6Id floats along with Lana
<Ariel> <Ida> "Similiar energy signatures are disruptive."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "This is it..."
<DeathStar> *Neekito flusters* I thought the others might need my power a little longer.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon summons a little healing mist to help top everyone off as they move along.
<DeathStar> *as they walk along, the hallway seems to become more and more Ancient looking, the walls resembling the temples*
<DeathStar> *however it is ... empty*
<DeathStar> <Celes> ... unnerving
<Seraphna> Alita> This is more than a little confusing. Where are they?
<Xanatos> <Simon> Perhaps their numbers are even smaller than we imagined.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I can't get that granular with my ping."
<Ariel> <Ida> "This structure is... indiscriminate in its amalgam. Is this the correct internal structure?"
<DeathStar> *As Alita says that, they reach a staircase, going upward toward that looks like a sunset, but it's actually just how the design looks, the walls look like a redness and it's clear the area seems to be set to Kumen's time of day, simulating a sunset*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> This place keeps feeling like it's changing as it's being built up
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Yes, it does Gwen.
<DeathStar> *The top of it seems to be another level with blood red sunset*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Perhaps they're attempting to build their own spirit realm.
<Seraphna> Alita> I'm wondering if this is what led to Kumen being mana-less and spirit starved for so long...
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Oh, what if this ship is built around the complex where the Renegade Croza leaders retreated to?"
<DeathStar> *Aska and Shade ponder as Chronos joins them suddenly*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "What do we do?"
<DeathStar> <Chronos> The Croza are definitely in here, Lady Lana
<Jackieness> <Lana> "If we had that nuke spirit, we could probably prime the trap as a...well... a nuke."
<DeathStar> <Gale> ... That's a good thing? Or a bad thing?
<Sara> <Liana> Yes.
<DeathStar> *as they speak, suddenly there's a racket behind them*
<DeathStar> *Neekito whirls around using Ellie*
<Sara> <Ellie> Eh? Eh?
<Seraphna> **Alita peers back**
<DeathStar> *there's Bix, holding items*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Oh... I think I know how this goes down now..."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Interesting. This sunset color matches the video we recovered from the BIX head.
<Seraphna> Talia> Bix!
<Sara> <Liana> Oh, it's... you Bix
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Bix, you amde it!"
<Xanatos> <Bix> HELLO!
<DeathStar> *Celes steps forward* At least he is safe. *in his hands is the source of the corruption and the building device*
<DeathStar> *Gale eyes and steps back, looking ruffled*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *looks at the corruption source*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I believe we are officially nearing the end of all this.
<DeathStar> *it is very complicated and seems to be tied to ancient stuff and spirit and more*
<DeathStar> <Celes> Yes. *sadly*
<Seraphna> Alita> This all began through something that fits in one hand…
<Xanatos> <BIX> Bix. Tired.
<Seraphna> Talia> Bix okay… right?
<DeathStar> *at that moment, an Angelic Being rises behind him, a scythe in hand*
<Sara> <Ellie> !!!
<Xanatos> 6* BIx smiles and gives a thumbs up
<DeathStar> <Being> ... *it targets Bix, perhaops due to what he has*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "BIX!"
<Seraphna> Talia> Bix!!!
<DeathStar> *reaching for the materials*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Is that a Death spirit?!"
<ChadWinters`> 6Id forms a spirit shield infront of BIX
<Xanatos> 6* BIX blinks and glances over his shoulder, then tosses the items forward toward the group, body going red.
<Sara> * Ellie, being stupid enough to try to interfere with things that probably "already happened", shoots at the angelic being, moving over near Id
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ah!" *fumbles to catch the source*
<Seraphna> **Alita reaches out and uses Void on the being**
<Xanatos> 6* Simon tries to catch the building device, jerking in shock.
<Ariel> * Ida ignites a blade, moving into a protective form.
<DeathStar> *it presses against the shield, being hit; it seems to target Lana now, as the void source hits it, slowly it down; shattering the shield, it zooms at Lana, slashing at her head*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Shit!
<Xanatos> 6* Simon shifts around to try and form an ice wall.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Eeee!" *tosses the source*
<Ariel> * Ida moves in front of Lana, moving to parry the strike
<Seraphna> **Talia leaps and parties with her Familiar Blade**
<Xanatos> 6* BIX jerks at that and runs to try and runs to catch the source again, not realizing the target.
<Sara> * Ellie turns Rending Gale back into a sword, staying in a combat stance. Liana moves back, getting closer to Celes, protectively
<Seraphna> Talia> No hurt Lana!
<DeathStar> *Celes moves in with her blade, being sent unbalance, then as Ida and Talia parry, it strains against them*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> *pulls Lana to him*
<Seraphna> **Alita keeps up the Void**
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Somebody retrieve the source.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *steps back and then brings up her console and tries to debuff the death spirit*
<DeathStar> *the Being jerks against the Avoid attacks. Aska and Shade combine their moves and strike it and send it flying right as Lana debuffs it a bit, it sinking into the ground*
<DeathStar> <Gale> Did we win?
<Ariel> * Ida ignites the second bracer into a blade and slashes at the being
<DeathStar> *ah, Ida got too first
<Seraphna> **Talia shakes her head standing ready**
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...drove it off...but it can pass through walls."
<Seraphna> Alita> We clearly need to destroy that source now.
<Xanatos> <Bix> Destroy??
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Bix, bring it over. Please."
<Xanatos> 6* Bix nods and walks over to hold it out to Lana
<DeathStar> *the being appears, it's armor showing red, angry cracks. Behind Simon now, it slashes at his neck when Chronos slides in the way, taking a cut*
<DeathStar> *The Being throws the scythe at Lana and Bix, moving to mow down both*
<Xanatos> <Simon> My lady! 6* His spear forms and he shifts around her to stab, attempign to freeze as he stabs
<Seraphna> **Talia slides and Mana Slices at it**
<Jackieness> <Lana> *scans the source with her arcane tech*
<Ariel> * Ida fires at the scythe and moves to close the distance.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "How do we destroy it, though?"
<Sara> * Ellie uses Rending Gale's 5 tornado attack
<Seraphna> **Alita forms a shield**
<ChadWinters`> 6Id floats over to Lana using her to brace himself form the tornados'
<DeathStar> *The Being is hit again and again after being frozen a bit, it's armor cracking in places*
<DeathStar> *the scythe bounces away*
<DeathStar> *and returns*
<DeathStar> <Celes> It wants any with their tech
<Xanatos> 6* Simon tchs and gets some distance, pulling Chronos with him.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "buy us some time to figure out how to dismantle it!"
<Seraphna> Talia> Wrath of Meowicles!!! **she sends a horde of spirit kittens at the being**
<Alicia> * Ceilidh examines the source, trying to figure out how to dismantle it
<Xanatos> 6* BIX stands defensively by Ceil and Lana
<DeathStar> *Chronos nods to Simon; the building tech seems to be a complicated formula that allows one to build new materials. As Lana looks it over, Talia shatters the building andCeilida would see the corruption code is a complicated material that powers spirits up evilly; one might could stunt it but it would take a lot more time to turn them good again*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Thank you BIX
<DeathStar> *Celes lets out a breath when suddenly dozens of those beings appear*
<ChadWinters`> 6Id scans both, taking in what data he can
<DeathStar> <Neekito> ... *touches Ellie's hand*
<Xanatos> <Simon> We have to get this building tech back to the present, it's immensely beneficial.
<Sara> * Ellie looks at Neekito
<Ariel> * Ida suddenly halts her approach, switching back to two blades and backing slowly towards the others.
<DeathStar> *Aska and Shade begin to try to hold the line as Neekito tries to gather her power again*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Try telling that to them!"
<DeathStar> *Gale dashes in and is grabbed by a being; it injected something into her, causing the wind spirit to fall*
<Sara> <Ellie> Gale!
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I feel they do not want us to proceed.
<Seraphna> **Alita holds out a hand and uses Void’s death move at the beings, hoping to at least get a few**
<Alicia> * Ceilidh tries to record the codes
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Th... that must be how she was corrupted!"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Perhaps I can alter the coding on this device to destroy this place.
<DeathStar> *Alita shatters s few as they move in, one swinging at alita's head, and another for Simon and Lana's. One moves in for Bix and Ida*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon frowns and places the building device next to Lana holding his spear carefully he begins to power himself up with runes...and then using his big move multiple ice versions of Simon run otu of him and start attacking the angels
<DeathStar> *Gwen tries to fend one off of himself as Aska and Shade due to their combined attack again, looking exhausted*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Hold on!" *raises her honeycomb barrier around them as they try to work*
<Seraphna> **Alita rolls to one side**
<Xanatos> <BIX> BIX. LOSE. HEAD. VOLUNTARILY! 6* He ducks his attacker and tries to retaliate with big blasts.
<Seraphna> **Talia joins Gwen’s attack**
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Do you thin kthat could work Lana?
<Ariel> <Ida> "Energy synchronicity insufficient..." *seems watch with caution, before chosing othe target moving for Simon and Lana, and moves to strike*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Maybe I can find a cure... later."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Should we try to run away up the stairs or what?
<DeathStar> *Chronos slows down time for everyone
<DeathStar> *pushing herself now*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "ITs to the spec of a Suisen ship shield... but mana powered!"
<ChadWinters`> 6Id recharges Simons' spirit power, a beam of spirit energy whisping off him and into Simon
<DeathStar> *their moves are delaying tactic, some manage to wipe out an angel, or the barrier slows them, but the fact is, it looks like the Croza are done with them as more keep rising up*
<Seraphna> **Alita forms a summon field, strengthening their spirits**
<DeathStar> <Celes> ... Everyone. I am beginning to think we are at the end of the road
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...what do we do then?!"
<Xanatos> <Simon> When.
<Ariel> <Ida> "...recalculating..."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I hope this is enough..."
<Seraphna> Talia> Never say never!
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Lana, I'm thinking we can turn this device backwards and destroy everything here.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon jerks his head at Id saying that.
<DeathStar> *Chronos motions* When you lose hope. *she states*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Worth a try!"
<Jackieness> <Lana> *looks at Simon* "Got a better idea than unmakign everything?!"
<DeathStar> <Celes> Try it
<Xanatos> <Simon> Yes. Use that to cure, not destroy. Lady Chronos...it's time I fear....I wish that the Croza never existed.
<Alicia> * Ceilidh tries to use the device backwards... on the source.
<DeathStar> <Chronos> *Stabs her staff into the ground and time stops for everyone but the team*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *turns ehr attention to helping repurpose the device to undo everythign that it created*
<ChadWinters`> 6Id begins to access the device with Lana, working on just doing that.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon turns to peer at everyone, a frown on his face.
<Sara> * Liana frowns in return
<DeathStar> *Aska and Shade peer at each other, then rise*
<Ariel> <Ida> "..."
<DeathStar> <Neekito> ... *frees herself from an angelic being*
<Xanatos> <Simon> You can...relax. It is over. Or...will be rather.
<DeathStar> <Chronos> *begins to spin the staff, as the beings begin to vanish*
<Seraphna> Alita> What… are you planning here?
<DeathStar> *As if they are being unwritten from time*
<DeathStar> <Chronos> What was and what will be, what will and will be agian
<Sara> <Ellie> Wait, won't erasing them totally mess up the time-space compendium?
<Ariel> <Ida> "...unable to assess..."
<DeathStar> <Aska> What are you doing Chronos?
<Xanatos> <Simon> We've always known, Chronos erases the Croza...and her champion with them. She had no champion but I. It only made sense.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *stops her work and looks up* "...wait... what?!"
<Seraphna> Alita> S-Simon…
<Sara> <Liana> No! Simon!
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Simon, no!"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I was hoping to avoid this Simon, but it seems somethings cannot be altered.
<Seraphna> **Talia looks confused**
<Sara> <Liana> After all we've all been through together...
<Xanatos> <Simon> It is why information on the ancients was so sparse. It has been and honor to know you all. 6* He bows
<DeathStar> *Chronos turns to face them* I told Simon about this. After all, I am the Chronos you've all known
<Jackieness> <Lana> *closes up the device and then sighs*
<DeathStar> <Chronos> I am erasing all information on them except what will damage myself and my fellow spirits
<Jackieness> <Lana> "No wonder he didn't want us to destroy the buildign device... he already knew what would actually happen."
<DeathStar> *as she speaks, the building begins to erase itself
<Seraphna> Alita> Erm… including where we are standing?
<Xanatos> <Simon> I'm very sorry for deception.
<DeathStar> <Chronos> We have little time left, and my power is fading. You won't have time to escape. *she stands by Simon, supporting him*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Sometimes knowledge is the heaviest cross to bear.
<DeathStar> <Chronos> Ellie. Neekito, I will start with you first
<Jackieness> <Lana> *walks voer to Simon* "...why though...?"
<Seraphna> Talia> What that mean…?
<Xanatos> <Simon> We must preserve time. When this Chronos had no champion my suspicions were confirmed.
<Sara> * Ellie looks at Chronos uneasily
<DeathStar> <Chronos> It means that along with Simon, this power backfires on me. It is why I replaced my past self. * it is all she says* Now, you two, do you want to continue this journey, or return to the present?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...but cna't she just drop you back in the future like nothign happened...?"
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I... came back for knowledge..."
<Xanatos> <Simon> I share the burden. Her spirit is mine.
<Sara> <Ellie> I wonder if we've done all we were meant to do...
<Xanatos> <BIX> Head at portal. 6* He knocks on his noggins.
<DeathStar> *Neekito peers at Ellie* I don't know. <Chronos> ... *smiles and holds out her hand* Here, take this and go where yuo belong the most
<Sara> <Ellie> ...Okay
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...y...yes... we need to get back to the portal now..."
<Sara> * Ellie reaches out
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "And me?"
<Seraphna> **Alita picks up Talia and whispers to her familiar**
<DeathStar> *Neekito joins her and the two vanish*
<DeathStar> <Chronos> You, Celes, and Liana will remain here during this time's present. Here. *she holds out her hand for the three*
<DeathStar> *Celes pauses, then hugs Simon*
<DeathStar> <Celes> Thank you for everything.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Of course, I have never known a better ruler...or friend. Be well.
<Seraphna> **Talia looks at Simon sadly, then Chronos**
<Alicia> * Ceilidh pauses, then hugs too. "It was a short time together, but it meant a lot..."
<Sara> <Liana> Simon... I won't say "goodbye", I'll say "see you again someday". Because I choose to believe that.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon smiles and nods.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *starts to sniffle*
<DeathStar> *Celes nods and touches Chronos*
<Sara> * Liana follows suit
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Simon, it was a pleasure to work along side you. You have helped me grow beyond anything I would've imagined
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...and you're all really staying?"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> ... *peers down as Chronos warps Liana, Ceilidh, and Celes to the surface*
<Sara> <Liana> I do what I have to do, until the day I can relax again. *she says as she disappears*
<Seraphna> Alita> They have to.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I have to, for now, at least." *as she disappears*
<DeathStar> *at that moment the erasing begins to stop and noise blares. Aska and Shade meanwhile have been unconscious the entire time, due to the mind erasure*
<Seraphna> Alita> Their story is only beginning.
<Xanatos> <Simon> I encourage you to never stop growing Id. 6* he says with an amused nod.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...but they have a daughter...and ceilidh is my friend."
<DeathStar> <Chronos> We are running out of time. This will soon wipe out Kumen and scatter Ancient tech
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I do not plan on it.
<DeathStar> <Chronos> The explosion will be mighty
<Seraphna> Alita> Then what is next?
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...okay the rest to the portal and then we continue?
<DeathStar> <Chronos> We must hurry. Alita and Talia
<DeathStar> <Chronos> Touch my hand. I have a time period for you
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...ah... yes... we... we need to go back."
<DeathStar> *She offers her hand*
<Seraphna> **They blink, Alita taking her hand, Talia looking at Gwen**
<DeathStar> *Gwen joins them*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...Simon...I'm sorry I could be bratty when I was still going through my... phase..." *chews her lip and then hugs him*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Lana, come with us
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...wh...where are you going?"
<Xanatos> 6* Simon returns the hug and nods.
<DeathStar> <Chronos> They will change history and you can learn something if you go
<Xanatos> <Simon> You'll do great things Lana.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *looks at Id* "...and you?"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Is that where I'm supposed to go?
<DeathStar> <Chronos> Your fate, I can find a time period for you like I can for Ida, or you can go to the present
<DeathStar> *Chronos turns to Ida* Do you wish to join Celes and the others on Geyze's surface, or go to a time period like I am sending Gwen and the others, exploring
<Xanatos> <BIX> OH. Head = Portal. Body = Present. 6* He taps on his head and then messed with a hidden switch and detaches his head.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I will go where you believe I belong. As there are shells of myself still on Geyze, I can still be of use if they still exist for those in that time period.
<DeathStar> *Gwen nods and has Id join him*
<Ariel> <Ida> "Insufficient knowledge... if this one is to continue existence, it will trust your judgement."
<Jackieness> <Lana> *nods and joins her friends*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon leans against his spear now.
<DeathStar> *Chronos nods, seding Ida to her destination, then Gwen, Lana, Id, Talia, and Alita to their's, right as the alarms are going off. She picks up Bix's head and body* I will put these where the belong
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...we'll just get back home a little later than I was expecting."
<Ariel> * Ida salutes Simon first, "For doing what this one was unable to."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon smiles at them as they go
<Xanatos> <Simon> Oddly...fullfilling. 6* He reasons to himself.
<DeathStar> *Chronos flickers and returns after dropping off the head and body*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Well then, my lady, please...take care.
<DeathStar> *Chronos nods, as she fades out she touches Simon*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> *Epilogue 1*
<DeathStar> *Celes, Liana, and Ceilidh, along with the other heroes like Sophia in the ruins of Geyze after the Croza did their war, have broken temples all over but the main thing that draws their eye, is a bright light in the sky as something blows up Kumen*
<DeathStar> <Aska> ... I feel ... as if something is missing in my head
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I feel like I've forgotten something really important..."
<DeathStar> <Shade> Same. I know we fought an enemy but I am missing information. *Chronos is quiet, missing information, pieces. Aska and Shade eye her, feeling slight annoyance, as if recalling she did something, which will lead to Aska's actions later at sealing her*
<DeathStar> <Celes> *pulls Liana* We will have to focus on rebuilding.
<Sara> <Liana> We must do what we can.
<DeathStar> <Sophia> I'll gather the other heroes for a meeting.
<DeathStar> *Epilogue 2*
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *The information comes in - the war is over. Lorelei's tema is coming home and the Earth is free*
<DeathStar> *The PAX hovers over Earth to make sure no shadey business goes on
<Xanatos> <Xan> So...Empress is really gone? Just like that?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We will be shipping Tsivrixsh home for weeks.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Mmmm. *she nods* She imprinted some information while we were melded together. To help prepare for the Serpent. But she is gone
<ChadWinters`> Better than in body bags. 6He leans back a bit, rubbing his face.
<Seraphna> **Jaime seems distracted and dour, looking off distantly**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *steps into the room* "Has anyone seen or heard from my mother?!"
<Xanatos> <Xan> Bummer, I'll miss her. It was a bit fun to see that side of you...or a version of you. Like back by that pond in the freezing snow.
<Alicia> * Jikuu sits around, looking pained.
<DeathStar> *Erevis eyes him stoically, then turns to Noire* No. But I believe she is out there. She would not let herself fall. I will keep scanning for her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> She was tpaping into dark spells
<ChadWinters`> And the Templars?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> For now, though, you are leader of the Dark One nation. *she shows where the Dark Ones have their own planet and everything*
<Seraphna> Jaime> If Lore is coming back then Kaelan can help find her…
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The rogue Templar never showed his face. We have no idea where he is at
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I think he stayed out of this fight to let us weaken ourselves
<Xanatos> <Xan> Sounds about right.
<ChadWinters`> We'll have to keep ourselves prepared for them then.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...very well." *turns to leave* "...oh...and no one tells my sister that we are missing our mother..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The Maka will need to becareful in the upcoming days.
<DeathStar> *Erevis pauses, then nods to Noire*
<ChadWinters`> We can probably ask some of the allies to post a few ships around their planet for guard duty.
<Seraphna> Jaime> We all will. Madness makes no discretion for innocence when it breeds hate.
<Xanatos> <Xan> ...yeah I could use a vacation if I'm honest.
<ChadWinters`> But at this point, it looks like everyone in this war can relax a bit and start recovering.
<ChadWinters`> May as well take it while you still can, Durran.
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods slowly, then looks back out at space**
<DeathStar> *Erevis nods* I will declare mandatory vacation. And try to get things back to normal. like Lorelei's children going bck to school
<Seraphna> Jaime> We should have a ceremony or something.
<Seraphna> Jaime> For those that fell.
<Xanatos> <Xan> That's a good idea.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will see it be done
<ChadWinters`> Have it involve every member involved.
<ChadWinters`> Even the Tsiv and any Dark One's that fought with us.
<Seraphna> Jaime> We’ll need everyone to band together soon enough.
<Seraphna> **Thena pops in on Xan’s head**
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "We absolutely will."
* ChadWinters` moves to stand up
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will work with Lenneth to try to get the Suisen Empire back to what it was once
<Xanatos> 6* Xan sways his head so Thena gets a big way.
<Xanatos> (sway)
<Xanatos> <Xan> I think I'm going to get back into woodmaking. 6* He winks
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I can program many trees if you desire at our house.
<Xanatos> <Xan> OH, I'm going to build a pergola.
<ChadWinters`> Do you even know what that is?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Some backyard wood shit, I'll figure it out.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I expected a gazebo."
<ChadWinters`> To think I used to be the one that lived in what he built many years ago. 6He offers a rare smirk at Xan and moves to leave
* Jackieness has quit IRC
<DeathStar> *Aya returns with a baby as Ren and Charlotte return*
<DeathStar> <Aya> Here you go! We played together and I taught her evil words
<DeathStar> <Ren> ...
<DeathStar> *Erevis muses* I would not mind a Gazebo
* ChadWinters` puts his arm around Aya. 1"Hopefully you imprinted trigger words too."
<DeathStar> <Aya> Yes. Mmhm! Cutie makes her giggle. *lists other silly words and what they do. Ren eyes Charlotte. Adeline stands there, eyeing them*
<Seraphna> Jaime> **summons Gnome** We won. Celebration time.
<DeathStar> *Having gotten an earful from Lemon*
<DeathStar> *Gnome blinks* Do I have to wear that again?
<DeathStar> *Adeline gives Jaime a kiss on the cheek* Congrats on winning. *nods to Erevis and heads off*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Something new. **she smiles and pulls Adeline into a hug**
<Seraphna> Jaime> I hear you blew up a Tsiv ship.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Yes
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Something satisfying about that."
<ChadWinters`> On to the next thing, I suppose. 6He scratches his jaw a bit.
<Seraphna> **Jaime smiles** Come, time to put Kat to work on snacks.
<DeathStar> *Erevis pulls Jikuu close to her, studying baby Jikuu*
<DeathStar> *looking between them*
<DeathStar> *Gnome follows Jaime and Adeline looks at Charlotte, giving her a mysterious smile*
* ChadWinters` moves off
<Seraphna> **Jaime grins, then yanks Adeline along**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So, Jikuu, shall we begin to train and get you ready? I also will have Kyouki begin training you as well. I would like to evaulate how far along you are
<DeathStar> *Adeline follows*
<Alicia> * Jikuu nods, seeming glad the war is over
<DeathStar> *Erevis nods, setting up a time and moves to the manor where they all live*
<DeathStar> -END-
