<DeathStar> Date: Unknown
<DeathStar> Location: The Spirit Realm?
<DeathStar> 6* The team has managed to make their way to the Spirit Realm, it appears. It appears to be a beautiful place with prestine lakes, part of a Hapian Castle, large crystaline structures, and strange mirrors that looks in on places if you think about it.
<DeathStar> 6* However, they had to leave behind the Aquarius and those on board
<DeathStar> *Sylph floats about, landing on the grass and spins*
<Sara> * Ellie watches her fluttering about
<DeathStar> *Yuki seems to be trying to reach the others on the datapad, but so far is failing*
<Dias`> <Id> So when do we plan on trying to summon a Spirit?
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Hrm. *he crosses his arms*
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses as she looks about** Well, Sylph is right here.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Hmmm..." *examines a mirror*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Jamie is correct.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Isn't the point to summon one?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "MAgic Mirror on the wall, who is th e fairest and smartest of them all?"
<DeathStar> *Sylph flies off and seems to leave the area*
<DeathStar> *the mirror doesn't change showing Geyze*
<Sara> * Ellie wanders after Sylph
<Dias`> <Id> That is true.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *tries to grab the mirror* "Come on, turn to the Aquarius."
<DeathStar> *Ellie would begin to do the quick step, looking like she is running off at high speeds. Ellie would arrive at a crystal structure; it is not the same as the one as those who found it long ago, but it does have a slots for cores. Three on this one*
<Alicia> <Asha> "... I should've pacted with one of the dark spirits..."
<DeathStar> *at Lana thinking of the Aquarius, she begins to see the Aquarius on the destroyed Geyze*
<Dias`> <Id> Then we should see if she can return to Geyze and create a connection
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ah-ha! These are srying mirrors!"
<Jackieness> scrying
<Seraphna> Jaime> I could try one of them if you want, Gnome was afraid to come so I’m a bit hesitant to summon her.
<DeathStar> *it goes inside and they see Erica sitting in the Captain seat*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon muses for a minute and begins to write out some runes and attempts to make a connection with Chronos.
<Alicia> <Asha> "It might be good."
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Okay mirror... let's see the academy?"
<Sara> * Ellie peers around for Sylph
<DeathStar> *Neekito appears behind Ellie at the structure; this one doesn't have the lighthouse look the one in the past did, but seems to have more a church feel*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Looks like everything in the Aquarius seems ok."
<Dias`> <Id> We need to find a way to tie this Spirit Realm to Geyze so that it's anchored properly
<DeathStar> *Sylph is climbing all over the building*
<Sara> <Ellie> Neekito? *she blinks at her* ... This place is confusing...
<DeathStar> <Neekito> Yes. It is. *it changes from Erica giving orders to the Academy. It looks like time has changed in the Academy. Maybe a month has passed and looks like spring is in full bloom*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> This place is neat. *she lands on Ellie's head*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Does this show different times too?
<Sara> <Ellie> I'm not sure what to make of it, although I can't help but find these core slots merely ominous now...
<DeathStar> <Neekito> Do they mean something?
<DeathStar> *Sylph shivers*
<DeathStar> *Simon would find he could easily reach Chronos*
<Seraphna> **Alita muses** Perhaps I should send for Brooke.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...was it spring when we left?"
<Sara> <Ellie> Well... see... they're slots for... spirit's... cores... *she mutters*
<Xanatos> <Simon> I feel my connection to Chronos. Should I reach out to her?
<DeathStar> <Gwen> It was 2.23 when we left.
<Dias`> <Id> Can you communicate with her?
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I'm guessing it's near 4.1 now or later.
<DeathStar> *suddenly, the Spirit Realm shakes a bit and even the mirror wiggles. The Aquarius appears, phasing into the Realm*
<DeathStar> *and slides along the grass, smoking*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Eeeep!
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I wonder how this works. That's... hmm... ah!"
<DeathStar> *Gwen falls onto his rear and the Aquarius seems to be running low on power*
<Dias`> <Id> If so, I would recommend trying to...6The ball spins around, tilting a bit. 1"It would appear the Aquarius is here.
<DeathStar> *Sylph takes Ellie and neekito and heads back to the Aquarius scene*
<Seraphna> Talia> Oh no Gwen! Is your butt okay?
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Eri!
<Xanatos> 6* Simon opens his mouth to respond to Id but blinks in surprise, looking around carefully.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Tell Erica she's a damn crazy driver
<DeathStar> <Gwen> And how did she even get in here?
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Why do I feel like Xanatos should be here? That's not like me."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...I have a scrying mirror now, but I didn't see this coming!:
<DeathStar> *the mirror shows Xanatos with Chad Winters*
<DeathStar> *somewhere doing shady things*
<Seraphna> Jaime> This would be one of Dad’s more graceful landings.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I will remember this."
<DeathStar> *Yuki runs up into the Aquarius to check on Erica and Mireille hops off and looks around, fascinatedf*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Mirei, what happened exactly? 6*He asks as she hops off the ship.
<Dias`> <Id> Does the Spirit Realm normally allow people to spy on others?
<Sara> * Erica isn't that far behind her, but looks a bit tired, mostly
<Seraphna> Alita> I suppose a Spirit Ship should be able to get to the Spirit Realm
<DeathStar> <Mireille> We used the Phase Engines!
<DeathStar> <Mireille> For a first time use it was a success!
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Hm... what's the most..." She ponders thoughtfully. "Hey Mirror, let's see... hm, let's see that Centerpoint place."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Careful with these mirros though. If we ask to spy one something powerful, it may find this place."
<DeathStar> *the mirrors pause - and seem to take a while --- then a bit longer. They then show parts of the Spirit Realm oddly. Then Yggdrasil and the Crystal Pathways*
<DeathStar> *and the Spirits*
<DeathStar> *before the mirrors just shut down*
<Dias`> <Id> ....Are you telling me we could've used the Phase Engines to get here in the first place?
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Well, that felt familiar."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...you broke it Nico..."
<Ariel> * Nicolette quickly takes down as much as she can in her handy tome.
<DeathStar> <Mirelle> I think we needed to be close to this place and I locked onto Momma Yuki
<Alicia> <Asha> "It was too powerful."
<Sara> <Ellie> Mirror power is out. *she notes dryly, seeing them shut down*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> So what now?
<DeathStar> *Sylph pulls fruit off a tree*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "This really supports the metaplane idea though! If the spirit realm is part of this centerpoint place, it might be a unique location."
<DeathStar> *that appears out of nowhere*
<DeathStar> <Neekito> ...
<Xanatos> 6* Simon finished writing in his notepad.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Metawhat?
<Dias`> <Id> It is possible that Centerpoint's remains merged with the Spirit Realm.
<Xanatos> <Simon> We may need to investigate more, but it's an interesting theory.
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses, feeling out here connection to Gnome** Where’d that fruit come from?
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Well... we've been to different Geyze and Kumen, but there could only be one Spirit realm."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Hmmmmm..."
<DeathStar> *Jaime probably could summon Gnome here*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Hmmmm..."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> So this IS our Spirit Realm, despite how we got here
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses a bit, then tries** Oh love? Can you make it here?
<Dias`> <Id> It is a sound theory, Gwen.
<Dias`> <Id> But if that's the case, that makes this place more dangerous to allow people access to.
<DeathStar> *it takes a long moment, then suddenly Gnome appears, panting*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "It seems likely! That's why I wanted to see the Academy. Time might not have gone smoothly on our trip, but this place seems to equally be connected to ruined Geyze and our Geyze."
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks** Huh, Yep it works.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "...maybe that's why we can't connect. The location is right, but the time here and the time at home, are out of synch."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Are you okay love?
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Places aren't in the same places in different times."
<Dias`> <Id> That is our running theory, Nicolettee
<DeathStar> <Gnome> I-I feel a bit tired. I almost didn't reach you
<Dias`> <Id> It seems a Spirit can make it here with minimal repercussions.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Well I'm not sure how to realign things after the mirror universe was practically blown up
<Dias`> <Id> Simon, please summon Chronos.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Minimal? She looks like she's been on a week-long bender."
<Seraphna> Jaime> **picks her up** You crossed a reality to get here. But maybe you can establish a connect now that you’ve done it?
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Good to know. I wonder how easy it is to get back."
<Dias`> <Id> I would call exhaustion minimal when the alternative could've been death.
<DeathStar> *Gnome rests* I'm not sure I would know how to do that, Jaime
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I'm not sure how to... adjust temporal coordinates. That's pretty sciencey."
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods** Fair enough, rest for now dear. This place seems to recharge spirits.
<Dias`> <Id> That is why I would ike Chronos here.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "...though I wouldn't be too surprised if Sparkling found a way to hold back our reality until it was moving at the right time again."
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...
<DeathStar> <Yuki> You want Sparkling to punch things back into alignment?
<Xanatos> 6* Simon hesitates and then proceeds to summon Chronos.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "No, that would be silly. Grab it and dig her heels in until it slowed down."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "You made the correct decision, Simon."
<DeathStar> *nothing happens for a bit, then a time vortex appears and Chronos appears while Gwen stares at Nicolette*
<Sara> <Ellie> All this dimension stuff is just too complicated to me
<DeathStar> <Chronos> ... *she brushes her hair back*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *has fallen asleep during their talk*
<Alicia> <Asha> "She can't really be that powerful, can she?"
<Xanatos> <Simon> My lady. I apologize for summoning you, I hope it didn't take too much effort to get here.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "M-miss Ellie! You're the professor..."
<DeathStar> <Chronos> I used time to make adjustments
<DeathStar> <Chronos> *she looks around* Ah, home sweet home
<Dias`> <Id> That confirms a theory.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Nice to see you again."
<DeathStar> *Her eyes glow purple*
<Ariel> * Nicolette waves meekly to Chronos.
<Dias`> <Id> Chronos, with you arriving here. Would you be able to realign this realm so that Geyze may access it?
<Alicia> * Asha waves far less meekly
<Sara> <Ellie> I don't teach astrometaphysics or whatever! *she flails*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Planar cartography?"
<DeathStar> *Chronos nods to Nicolette* Me? *laughs* You are quit amusing, Id. But I will say this. *she forms her staff* With what little time you have left here before things get crazy, I can tell you what I was told.
<Xanatos> <Simon> They believe the time adjustment is the reason we were unable to connect to this realm recently.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...wait... crazy?!"
<DeathStar> <Chronos> *smiles* Do you want the explanation, or do you want to know what is coming next?
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Oh no. It's the maka, isn't it?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh no...
<Dias`> <Id> I do not understand the humor. But if things are about to go...ass over tea kettle. Please cut to the pertinent info.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Tell us what we need to know!"
<DeathStar> <Chronos> Very well. *she uses her staff to draw orbs* This is the Prime Universe and this is the mirror universe and this is the Spirit Realm. Right now the Spirit Realm is still tied to the Mirror Universe and functions there here. Despite all the necessary tools transferring over to the Prime Universe when that girl did her thing, the Spirit Realm did not come with it
<DeathStar> <Chronos> That tree took it's spot
<DeathStar> <Chronos> That is why when you dial over there, the Spirit Realm does not connect
<Dias`> <Id> That confirms some other theories. I will make adjustments in my database
<Alicia> <Asha> "Dial?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I knew the tree was tied to it!"
<DeathStar> <Chronos> Spirit Portals reach the spirit realm.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "With the portal we were playing with. I was trying to calibrate it to target the Yggdrasil."
<Alicia> <Asha> "Ohhhh!"
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Am I to assume that's all going to change shortly?"
<DeathStar> <Chronos> I would suggest you either move the Realm to the PRime Universe, or find a way to connect here. But the problem with that is this universe is dying due to those creatures.
<Dias`> <Id> The black creatures I presume?
<DeathStar> <Chronos> Yes
<Seraphna> Jaime> Ah yes. The spirit eating things.
<Alicia> <Asha> "... can we stop it?"
<Dias`> <Id> The correct choice would be to tie it completely to the Prime Branch and let this place die out proper but I do not believe anyone here will go that route.
<DeathStar> <Chronos> Can you stop a planet worth of them? And by the way, I say you have very little time before they follow you in. In fact, it's almost time up. Now. The next part of your problem
<DeathStar> <Chronos> You came here looking for a cure to your Elder Spirit problem
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...soooo...what are they?"
<DeathStar> <Chronos> You need to go into the Spirit Chambers and hope there is some in there.
<Sara> <Ellie> Yes, that -is- why we came. But how would we move the Realm? And... what are those black creatures?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Okay... Spirit Chambers...
<DeathStar> <Chronos> Well, from what little I know. They are things looking to devour any magik or spirit energy left in the universe. Which means you are a prime snack. What are they? I have no idea
<DeathStar> <Chronos> Consider them the Anti-Spirit
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Downright Lovecraftian..."
<Ariel> * Nicolette takes notes in her tome
<Sara> <Ellie> "The Anti-Spirit"...
<Dias`> <Id> I imagine that is why the C'en have been crystalling planets.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon finishes writing and bows his head to Chronos.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *snorts awake*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Thank you.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> What? Huh? Anti me?
<DeathStar> *The Spirit Realm shudders a little*
<DeathStar> *and the sky darkens far away*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I didn't spend 50 years stuck in the dark rune to get eaten here."
<Dias`> <Id> If we can't save this Realm then tieing it to the Prime Reality will be pointless now.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "We need to either act or get out of here!"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Agreed.
<Xanatos> <Simon> I believe we should...quickly try to find the spirit chambers. 6* He tries to remember where they were last time.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Got directions?"
<DeathStar> <Chronos> I will lead a group to the various Spirit Chambers
<Alicia> <Asha> "Works for me!"
<DeathStar> <Chronos> The rest of you better slow down those things
<DeathStar> *Chronos moves on*
<Seraphna> **Jaime follows**
<Sara> * Ellie blinks and follows after Chronos
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Meanwhile:
<DeathStar> 6* The Crystal Kids have decided to explore the Prison Island of the C'en, that was long abandoned, for information on the group that is targetting their Princess Cherie
<DeathStar> 6* so they have hired a boat to go out to it
<DeathStar> *Seniga peers out the boat at the heavy dog*
<Seraphna> **Nell wears an admiral hat**
<DeathStar> <Seniga> So think Dosco can be trusted?
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> about as well as we can toss him
<Seraphna> Nell> Not a bit.
<DeathStar> *Selena runs around like the little kid she has become, the bracelet rattling on her wrist, leaning over the railing*
<Stretch`cell> Jinx> He was truthful with what he said... *leans against the railing*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Uhhh... no, but the C'en can't trust him either, so we'r about 50/50."
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi picks up Selena
<Xanatos> 6* Bix mimes tossing something heavy.
<DeathStar> *Selena looks up at Ruhi and smiles*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> what have we said about you and railing
<Stretch`cell> Jinx> But I didnt dive to find what he wasnt telling us...lie through omission.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Sor-ry..
<DeathStar> <Cloé> *plays with her older self in cards*
<DeathStar> *The two Cloés getting along*
<DeathStar> *the boat hits the island edge*
<Chaintan> 6*She sets her down and gives her a light whap on the toosh
<DeathStar> *Selena eeps*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "We're here!"
<DeathStar> <Cypher> ... *to Chelsea* Ready?
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> thats for not listening
<DeathStar> <Selena> *curtseys to Ruhi*
<DeathStar> <Selena> I apalphaze
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> alright, lets buddy up and get ready
<Dias`> 6Id floats after the group.
<Seraphna> Nell> I guess we’ll need to find a place to hole our kid selves at.
<Sara> <Chelsea> Sheesh...
<Xanatos> 6* Bix hops off the side of the boat.
<Sara> <Chelsea> Ready as I'll ever be, bratty princesses aside.
<Jackieness> <Bella> *steps off of the boat*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I'll team up with whoever, I just want to go!"
<Alicia> * Sparkling steps off
<Stretch`cell> Jinx> I'll stay and keep an eye on the mini's and our boat...
<DeathStar> *the island leads to a giant prison, with watch towers that are now empty; there's massive doors and there's signs of a battle and whatnot. Long ago the kids raided this place to save their parents, their epic battle saving them so the parents could go back and meld with their past selves to save the day*
<DeathStar> *Selena gasps at Chelsea
<DeathStar> *and looks sad*
<DeathStar> *Cypher buddies up with Chelsea*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> You got a buddy, Cherie?
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi whistles
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...this place is even more depressing than I remembered."
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> we did a number on this place didnt we
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Just a little
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Is it really that bad?"
<Xanatos> 6* Bix looks around curiously.
<Jackieness> <Bella> Maybe the stupid traps will be gone this time."
<DeathStar> *as they step inside the doors, it is pretty dark; some bats fly in and go past Cherie*
<DeathStar> *and out to sea*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "But you've been here before, so you know where they are."
<Sara> * Cherie lets out a little noise
<DeathStar> *Cypher pats Cherie's shoulder*
<Sara> * It's kind of pathetic rather than a scream, but she was startled
<Stretch`cell> *Jinx looks at the youngsters and takes a head count, tagging them all telepathically to keep tans on their locations and out of trouble*
<DeathStar> *Selena is MIA*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "That was years ago."
<Sara> <Chelsea> ...Where'd the princess go?
<Dias`> 6Id turns several lights on to help illuminate the area
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...she's gone already?"
<DeathStar> *Selena is moving along behind Cherie, her buddy*
<Seraphna> Nell> Did we lose kids already? Man we are terrible at this.
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> Jinx....
<DeathStar> *As Id turns on the lights, the hallways where C'ens used to patrol, guard stations, weapon lockers, etc. And the stairs going upstairs, and hallways left, and right*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> guess I'll go left.
<Dias`> <Id> I do not believe it is wise to seperate.
<Xanatos> 6* Bix salutes to Ruhi and goes right.
<DeathStar> <Seniga> I call upstairs!
<DeathStar> *she runs upstairs*
<Seraphna> **Nell sighs and heads after Seniga**
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I'll go up too!" *follows Seniga*
<Sara> * Cherie seems to be shivering a bit in unease as she walks, Selena behind her
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...and there they go."
<DeathStar> *Selena pats her back, and gives a smile*
<DeathStar> *As Ruhi explores, she sees a massive tank like weapon*
<Dias`> 6Id drops the light since it doesn't need it and it heads upstairs
<DeathStar> *And Bix would feel like he's being stalked*
<DeathStar> <Selena> You scared? *she asks Cherie*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Let's stick together..." *sticks close to Cherie*
<DeathStar> *Seniga and those with her would find the cells*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix pauses and holds up a flaming fingergun, slowly looking around carefully.
<Sara> * Cherie reaches for her sister's hand, peering around as she walks
<DeathStar> *A Zhen appears behind Bix, the warrior C'en, and slashes with it's giant claws and pounces at Bix with it's armored body, trying to take him out before he can alert others*
<DeathStar> *Cloé takes her hand, smiling*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Well this brings back memories
<Chaintan> 6* Halting for a second, Ruhi tries to guage if its active or not.
<Xanatos> 6* Bix moves to shoot flame but has to jump back and misses the attack, then is pounced on, straining to try and throw it off.
<Seraphna> Nell> Some pretty good ones.
<DeathStar> *at first the tank like weapon does nothing; it has been damaged on it's right side and the cannon has been patched up; but then it activates and turns to face her, firing stun shots at her to take her down*
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi drops to the ground and rolls aside.
<DeathStar> *the tank charges forward to run her over*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Is there where we're supposed to be?"
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...wait...did you hear something?"
<Sara> * Cherie's ears twitch; she definitely heard something
<DeathStar> *at that moment, Seniga and those upstairs are trapped upstairs as the door's lock*
<DeathStar> *Selena nods*
<Seraphna> Nell> Well this feels cheap... **she eyes the doors**
<DeathStar> *and a scarred Zhen's face appears on a monitor; meanwhile, Bix has his shoulder stabbed into*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> ... Did we walk into a trap?
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...figures there are still stupid traps." *looks around* "Keep together."
<DeathStar> *she asks as the Zhen says stuff in C'en*
<Seraphna> Nell> Kind of.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "... I thought you'd know..."
<Dias`> <Id> It would appear so. This is why I was against splitting up
<Seraphna> Nell> Want me to start tearing us out?
<DeathStar> *those upstairs would hear gas coming out of the cells and flooding the entire top floor*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix's eyes and armor outlining turns red and he tries to blast the Zhen off of him.
<DeathStar> *The Zhen goes flying*
<DeathStar> *it lands, the armor protecting it*
<DeathStar> *As Bella walks along, she'd feel something in her neck
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Aaaaaahhhh!" *fires a magic blast at the door* "OPEN UUUUUUUUUP!"
<Dias`> <Id> I am detecting a knock out like gas. I would suggest not breathing it in
<DeathStar> *the door is partially damaged - it's clear this is door is heavy duty to keep prisoners in*
<Seraphna> **Nell being a Dragoon stops breathing, then starts trying to tear the metals in the door apart**
<DeathStar> *Nell also partially damages it*
<DeathStar> *more layers are heard outside*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...what?" *reaches back*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> .... *grumbles and tries holding her breath*
<DeathStar> *the tank runs Ruhi into the wall to pin her*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix stands up, his left arm hanging limp as his repair systems kick in he tries to comm the others. Warning! Enemies!
<Sara> * Cherie looks at Bella, confused
<DeathStar> *Bella has a tranq dart in her neck*
<Seraphna> **Nell pulls what metal she can out and forms a Shard Blade, starting to rush the door and work at bashing and tearing**
<DeathStar> <Seniga> *Watches and uses her bracelet to help where she can*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...ah...hell...run... just.... run."
<DeathStar> *suddenly, Zhen with masks on enter from a side door*
<DeathStar> *to go after Seniga and Nell*
<DeathStar> *and sparkling, can't forget the Maka
<Dias`> <Id> Warning. Enemies are coming in.
<Sara> * Cherie pulls the dart out, not seeming to realize it won't help much
<DeathStar> *Bix is charged by his Zhen, who stabs at him*
<Seraphna> **Forms a second as she tears metal and flings it as a spear at one of the guards**
<DeathStar> *Nell impales one*
<DeathStar> *while the others begin to slash with their pwoerful claws*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *holds up her staff defensivle* "Selena... Cherie... run to the boat!"
<DeathStar> *Selena grabs Cherie and begins to run when she runs into three guards*
<Alicia> * Sparkling fires blasts at the Zhen, trying to hold her breath despite the urge to yell attack names
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> fuuuuuuuuck 6*since theres no time to really shout for help, and the even worse idea: leading it to the others, Ruhi rolls up and keeps rolling away.
<DeathStar> <Cloé> *forms into her humanoid form and goes into a defensive form*
<Seraphna> **Nell dives to one side, magnetoing the spear back to herself**
<DeathStar> *Ruhi escapes and the tank backs up and tries to track her*
<Dias`> 6Id floats up higher, keeping a survey on those in the room with him an the Zhen. 1"I would suggest going after their masks
<Jackieness> <Bella> *turns and then launches herself clumsily at the three guards blocking Cherie and Selena's way*
<Sara> * Cherie jerks at the sight of the guards and holds out her arm with her bracelet on it
<Sara> * As if trying to use it for once
<DeathStar> <Zhen> *they just pick Bella up and hold her, then reach for Cloé and as she claw attacks and battles one, they stab her and toss her aside, reaching foe Cherie*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix leaps to the right, rolls to his knees then rockets back for the Zhen, doing an Instant Charged Boost attack(96 damage)
<DeathStar> *Bix crushes the Zhen into a wall, making it so it can't move*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *goes limp as the tranq takes effect*
<DeathStar> *meanwhile, Nell, Sparkling, and Seniga are holding off their Zhen, with varying effects, some are down, but others have taken down Sengia with a slash to the face*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix 'breathes' heavily as both his arms hang limp for now and he turns to run off and go help Ruhi.
<Seraphna> **Nell growls at that and goes more tiger, berserking and patching more to her weapons as she fights** Wrong Move!
<Dias`> <Id> I suggest not doing anything that causes you to breathe more.
<Alicia> * Sparkling fires another beam, before trying to grab at the Zhen's mask. Maybe she should've just shot the mask.
<DeathStar> *Cherie is lifted up as she tries to use it, the Zhen likely knowing she can't use it when suddenly her bracelet activates and she cuts them up with deadly wind attacks and they drop*
<Chaintan> 6*From hiding place, Ruhi looks for anything to throw for a distraction
<DeathStar> *Sparkling gains a mask as she and Nell have taken down all the zhen - for now. It's clear more are coming soon*
<Sara> * Cherie flops pitifully to the floor, looking slightly upset
<Jackieness> <Bella> *drops like a sack of flour*
<DeathStar> *Cloé mewls and Selena gapes at Cherie*
<Seraphna> Nell> I don’t breathe. **she activates her bracelet and starts forcing the stone and metal open** We need to move.
<Alicia> * Sparkling tries the mask on, despite it not fitting her aesthetic. Oh well, can't be helped!
<DeathStar> *Ruhi would see monitors, bars from the prison, chairs from the desk nearby*
<DeathStar> *and if she hs a bracelet, she could use that*
<Chaintan> 6*Crawling over to the chairs, Ruhi tosses a few in the opposite direction
<DeathStar> *the tank turns slowly*
<Seraphna> **Nell puts Sen over her shoulder and combines the sword and spear into a Guirisame**
<DeathStar> *Cherie would hear the chaos upstairs and the tank fight nearby*
<DeathStar> *the door opens and she sees the second layer*
<DeathStar> *atl east there's no third layer*
<Seraphna> **Nell forms the remains of the first door into a ram and starts bashing**
<Sara> * Cherie manages to get to her feet and starts to lead the others onward, refusing to look at the guards' bodies
<DeathStar> *Cloé helps lift Bella with her good arm* A-Are you okay, Sis?
<DeathStar> *Selena hops up and uses her bracelet, the adult outline appearing*
<Sara> * Cherie nods, being half-honest; it disturbed her a bit
<Jackieness> <Bella> 8head lobs to the side from being tranq'd up*
<Chaintan> 6* Ruhi attempts climbing onto the tank now that its turned away
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Did someone find where we're supposed to go?"
<DeathStar> *Bix arrives on the scene to see Ruhi climbing onto the tank*
<DeathStar> *the tank's guns try to aim at Ruhi on top of it, with varying degrees of success*
<DeathStar> *Nell breaks them out finally*
<Dias`> <Id> The gas is reaching the point of no return, Nell.
<Xanatos> <Bix> Warning? 6* He looks confused, his right arm functioning again by this point.
<DeathStar> *the tank then decides to smash into things to shake Ruhi off*
<DeathStar> *it aims at a wall*
<Seraphna> **Nell waves then to follow, moving the ram in front of them as a barrier as she marched out**
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Look at Cherie
<Dias`> 6Id lowers and floats after
<DeathStar> *she points with her good arm at the tank*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix waits to see if Ruhi has it handled, but is tensed up to help at any moment.
<Chaintan> 6* with the tank ramming into things, Ruhi tries to hold on for dear life while loking for a hatch
<Alicia> * Sparkling heads after Nell
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Nnnn..."
<DeathStar> *Ruhi sees the hatch*
<DeathStar> *Seniga remains KOed with her face all messed up*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> there you fucking are!
<DeathStar> *the tank slams into a wall, breaking it down and letting bricks fall on her*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Eek
<DeathStar> *she fires a light blastat the tank's treads*
<Seraphna> **Nell is carrying Sen over her shoulder**
<Chaintan> 6* sparing one hand to grip, Ruhi attempts to smash the hatch but rolls off as bricks come down with its latest slam
<DeathStar> *the hatch is smashed and opened*
<Sara> * Cherie jerks a bit from the loud noises
<DeathStar> *Ruhi falls off and is in the way of the tank, landing in front of Cherie*
<DeathStar> *the tank slowly backs up and aims it's cannon at Ruhi*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> oof
<Sara> * Cherie levels her bracelet at the cannon and uses it
<DeathStar> <Selena> *tries to pull out her weapon, but being younger now and falls over*
<DeathStar> *comedically*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix sprints forward now to stand in front of Ruhi.
<DeathStar> *the yank slams into the wall due to the wind blast as Bix protects Ruhi; the blast hits the ground in front of Bix as it shoots, sending dust up as the others arrive*
<DeathStar> *Bella also begins to wake back up*
<Seraphna> **Nell heads for the day obvious sounds of the others, still a pissed off cat**
<DeathStar> *Selena eyes the angry Nell as she tries to swing her sword*
<Chaintan> 6*Shakily rising, Ruhi nods to both Bix and Cherie.
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...I feel awful..."
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> thanks you guys
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Mrowl..
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Sparkling Justice has arrived!"
<Sara> * Cherie breathes heavily, trying to calm herself
<Xanatos> 6* Bix is covered in debris and dusts himself off.
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi pulls Cherie into a hug
<DeathStar> *Cloé, having pacted with Cherie, uses their link to give her some calming feels and power*
<DeathStar> *while her arm goes numb*
<Sara> * Cherie lets out a little noise as she is hugged, but naturally she doesn't resist
<DeathStar> *the tank suddenly lumbers forward*
<DeathStar> *and aims at them again, all messed up from the wind attack*
<Sara> <Cherie> ... *ears twitch*
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> oh come on!
<DeathStar> *holes in it and the Zhen pilot can be seen*
<Alicia> * Sparkling aims a magical blast at the treads before dodging
<Seraphna> **Nell growls and starts trying to bend up the gun barrel**
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...who has lightning?"
<DeathStar> (she shot yes? - Sparkling)
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Oh right, how do I...?" *attempts to use the bracelet*
<Sara> * Cherie rummages through her bag and offers a stimulant to her sister Bella
<DeathStar> *her magic shot greatly diminishes her magic once more, but it fires a blast*
<DeathStar> *and hits the treads, flipping the tank at Nell as she bends the cannon*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *grabs the stim up and uses it to try to wake up*
<DeathStar> *move Nell, move!*
<DeathStar> *Sparkling would see the braclet glow*
<Seraphna> **Nell leaps to one side with Sen**
<DeathStar> *the tank lands upside down*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Thank you
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Everyone, out of the way!" *gets ready to fire on the tank with her lightning bracelet now*
<DeathStar> *the tank is fried to add insult to injury*
<DeathStar> *the Zhen climbs out*
<DeathStar> *all damaged*
<Chaintan> 6*Ruhi races to tackle the Zhen down
<DeathStar> *he goes down*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix lets out a huff as he tests out both arms now, then claps his hands toghheter.
<Dias`> <Id> There will be more of them here.
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> you got a lot of fucking nerve. 6* Pulling back for a few punches
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *has Bix sit down, having come from exploring another part of the prison*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Come here, Bix. Let me and Chelsea take a look at you. *she drops a tied up Zhen prisoner she managed to nab*
<DeathStar> *Cypher
<Xanatos> <Bix> Arms = damaged. Self repair status: functioning.
<Sara> * Chelsea moves over to help Cypher with Bix
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Let us help speed it up some
<DeathStar> *The Zhen is beat up a little while Seniga wakes up, touching her facE*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Ungh
<DeathStar> <Cypher> We might need to question these guys
<Sara> * Cherie moves over to Seniga, opening her medical bag
<DeathStar> *Seniga looks at Cherie, looking a little dazed*
<Sara> * Cherie gives her a small dose of medicine and dabs at her face with a damp cloth
<Seraphna> Nell> We’ll have to get you healed up Senny.
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Thanks.. ungh
<Chaintan> 6*after getting her punches in, Ruhi starts to look the Zhen over for anythiny useful
<DeathStar> *After everyone is dealt with, Cypher kneels* So. I think it's time you guys answered some questions
<DeathStar> *Ruhi would find on them a picture of Cherie and instructions from the Priest faction*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Well that was easy!"
<Jackieness> <Bella> "What about the reinforcements?"
<DeathStar> *it looks to be written in C'en but since they have been learning it some, it looks like it is the Priest belief if they can stop the group, they can begin to take back Kumen. And they believe Cherie is the catalyst for that change*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I have no idea what that says, but I'm sure it answers everything!"
<DeathStar> <Cloé> It says that Cherie is the chosen one!
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Give her snacks!
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> The Priest Faction have some instructions for Cherie Im guessing
<Chaintan> 6*moving to sit on the Zhen to read
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Its what we learrned already. They think they can win by grabbing Cherie. That's pretty much it."
<Sara> <Chelsea> But why? Why little Cherie?
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Basically the priests seem to think she is the cataylst for change. And I have no idea why.
<Sara> <Chelsea> Just... because of morale? Really?
<DeathStar> <Cypher> It has to be something more.
<Sara> <Chelsea> A catalyst for change, that's... concerning.
<Seraphna> Nell> Sounds like they planned to use her as a hostage to me.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Or use her to do something
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> the latter being more likely
<DeathStar> <Seniga> *stands up* Lets just go end this. We just need to go to their island and wipe them out once and for all
<Sara> <Chelsea> Is there anything about Cherie we don't know? Any kind of special powers, rare blood, *something*?
<Sara> * Cherie looks a bit overwhelmed
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Well.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Only thing I might can think about
<Dias`> <Id> Do you possess the ability to do that Seniga?
<DeathStar> <Cypher> But anyone can do it of her race
<DeathStar> <Cypher> *whispers into Chelsea's ear*
<Sara> * Chelsea's ear twitches
<Sara> <Chelsea> But she's a half-breed
<DeathStar> <Cypher> But like I said, I'm not sure why her only. Unless there's something special about her specifically
<DeathStar> *as they go back out to the boats, the sky is darkening*
<DeathStar> *much like our heroes on the other team had happening*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I don't get any of this."
<Jackieness> <Bella> "..creepy..."
<DeathStar> <Selena> Hmmm. I have a bad feeling. *she speaks almost like her old self*
<Dias`> <Id> Is this normal here?
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Mewl.
<Sara> * Cherie shakes her head
<Chaintan> <Ruhi> not normal
<Dias`> <Id> Then I believe we should plan accordingly
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Maybe we should get back to the tower and find out what is going on."
<DeathStar> *as they get on the boat, Fae is eyeing the sky*
<Seraphna> Nell> I guess we head back?
<DeathStar> <Seniga> We could but that may take up days.
<Seraphna> **Terra leans on Fae and watches the sky too**
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Or we could head straight to the Priest Island
<Sara> * Cherie looks at Fae inquisitively
<DeathStar> *Sengia lays down the map*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "And do what?"
<Dias`> <Id> And if something worse than the C'en on Priest Island happens?
<DeathStar> <Seniga> *shrugs* Lets put it to vote. Go back, or end this now?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "We haven't really done anything yet..."
<Dias`> <Id> It is a shame we do not have the Aquarius. We could've used the ship to raze Priest Island to nothingness.
<Sara> <Chelsea> ... That is grim. You're angry, aren't you? Not that I blame you.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Wow, Id
<Jackieness> <Bella> *looks at Cherie* "...Cherie?"
<Alicia> <Sparkling> *just looks sad*
<Dias`> <Id> It would be the quickest solution to the problem would it not?
<Sara> * Cherie looks at her sister, her eyes a bit sad. She's perhaps a bit distraught after having seemingly killed for probably the first time, always staying out of fights before
<DeathStar> *Cloé mewls*
<DeathStar> *and hugs*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix looks confused at Id, then looks to the others.
<Jackieness> <Bella> *lets out a breath*
<DeathStar> *while they are talking, Cypher eyes her device, what power it has and studies something*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Hm
<DeathStar> *she shows it to Chelsea*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I think we got a problem
<DeathStar> *she whispers*
<Sara> * Chelsea eyes the device and glances at Cypher
<Dias`> <Id> It is apparent that they will not stop coming after Cherie as long as they have the people to do so.
<Sara> <Chelsea> All we can do is face it head-on
<DeathStar> *it looks like the monsters have entered the world*
<DeathStar> *that attacked the Aquarius*
<DeathStar> *the Anti Spirits*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...what is it?"
<DeathStar> *Seniga kicks the boat into high degree and moves it along*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Lets go
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "What's wrong?"
<Seraphna> Nell> Bad things.
<DeathStar> *Cypher eyes Bella, not sure if she should way this might be the end of this world if these monsters attack*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Lets focus on what's up ahead
<Dias`> <Id> What did we decide on for our destination?
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Priest Island. Lets put the C'en to rest
<Sara> <Chelsea> This will sound ironic, but currently it's less of a risk to Cherie if we take her directly into the belly of the beast with us.
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...right..." *soundbs incredulous*
<Sara> <Chelsea> The alternative is that they try to get her, endlessly, kicking and screaming. We may as well pull the bandaid off.
<Dias`> <Id> That is not how strategy works.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I understand."
<DeathStar> *selena sticks her tongue out at Id*
<DeathStar> -sCENE SHIT-
<DeathStar> *Shift
<DeathStar> *Yuki and company move off to the Aquarius to do battle; Gwen goes with them, not knowing much about Spirits*
<DeathStar> *Chronos meanwhile takes all those into Spirits with her*
<DeathStar> *even as in the distance the sky darkens as those who wish to do battle go off toward it*
<DeathStar> *Chronos arrives at a lighthouse like structure*
<Xanatos> <Simon> You said various spirit chambers. There are more than just the one?
<DeathStar> <Chronos> Yes.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "We should hurry, in any case."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Do they have different purposes?"
<DeathStar> <Chronos> We can check them all out while we have
<DeathStar> <Chronos> No, they all require spirit cores to open
<DeathStar> *this one takes 2*
<Dias`> <Id> What is the purpose of them?
<DeathStar> <Chronos> You will see inside
<Seraphna> **Jaime gulps**
<Sara> * Ellie looks at Jaime, her expression discomforted and scared; they're probably thinking the same thing
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I hate this part...
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...this is so exciting."
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Seems unsettling to me..."
<DeathStar> *Sylph suddenly slams her fist into her chest like she is ripping her heart out*
<DeathStar> <Neekito> Sylph?!!?
<DeathStar> <Gnome> *looks faint*
<Sara> <Ellie> S-Sylphie! *she reaches a hand out, but isn't really able to stop her; she's seen this before, and it was just as terrifying then*
<Ariel> * Nicolette pales.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "... ... ...recording..."
<Dias`> <Id> Interesting.
<Seraphna> Jaime> B-Be ready you put her core back in right after.
<Seraphna> *to
<Xanatos> <Simon> It is...difficult to see. But we place Sylph's core in the door, along with another.
<DeathStar> *Sylph pulls out a core*
<DeathStar> *and she drops to her knees and begins to look faded*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Please don't tell me I'll have to do that."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon bows his head to Sylph, taking the core before moving to place it in the door.
<Seraphna> **Alita strengthens her with a field as they wait**
<DeathStar> *it turns into a crystal like object once inside*
<Dias`> <Id> You do not work on the same principles as Geyze Spirits, Kyouki.
<Seraphna> Jaime> W-We need one m-more...
<DeathStar> <Chronos> Yes, I am not sure you could open it
* Chaintan has quit IRC
<DeathStar> <Neekito> Hm. *she touches her chest*
<Alicia> * Kyouki breathes a sigh of relief. "I know I shouldn't be happy that I can't help, but I still am."
<DeathStar> *then slams into her chest and pulls out one*
<Sara> <Ellie> ... Any other volunteers *she notes in a shaky voice*
<DeathStar> *hold it out and looks more faded than Sylph*
<Sara> * And then Neekito does it, which makes Ellie freak out for a moment
<DeathStar> *likely due to her status as a spirit*
<DeathStar> *she looks barely there*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon bows his head to Neekito, takes it and places it in the slot.
<Seraphna> **Jaime quickly puts it in** We need to do this fast!
<Ariel> * Nicolette moves to support Neekito
<DeathStar> *the giant door opens up*
<DeathStar> As they enter, crystals lining the wall begin to glow. Some are small like normal centerpoint shards, while others are very small. They glow, illuminating the area. As they enter, there seems to be a ton of moisture in the air, so much that their clothes begin to either stick to them wet, or get see through. The moisture seems almost unnatural*
<DeathStar> *Neekito nods her thanks to Nicolette and Sylph rests*
<DeathStar> <Chronos> Come. *she walks inside*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...must be aplace associated with water elemnts..."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Makes sense." *heads in*
<Seraphna> ** Jaime shivers a bit and follows**
<Xanatos> 6* Simon moves forward, the water molecules freezing as the come in contact with him.
<Dias`> 6Id scans the shards lining the walls and compares them to everything in his database
<Sara> * Ellie looks faint, placing weak kisses on each of her lovers before she goes inside shakily, hoping it won't be the last time she ever gets to.
<DeathStar> *Up ahead is a pool of water and hanging in the air above it, floating, are crystal shards the size of the spirit cores. There is a slight mist coming from the water and the shards seem to have something in them. One is pitch black and has something in it*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *studies the chamber with hher PAN*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Do you want to rest here, or take a look?"
<DeathStar> <Sylph> We'll rest
<DeathStar> *Neekito nods* Go on
<Dias`> <Id> One appears to be different.
<Alicia> * Kyouki looks over the shards
<Ariel> * Nicolette carefully helps Neekito to the floor, and then hurries after the others.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon begins to draw runes to perform a spell that helps him determine the elements of the shard.s
<Sara> * Ellie watches Simon work, resisting the urge to vomit
<DeathStar> *the shards seem to be spirit cores that have not yet become cores*
<DeathStar> *but they also hold memories of people in places*
<Seraphna> Jaime> What do we do now?
<Xanatos> <Simon> These could become the cores of the corrupted spirits.
<Sara> <Ellie> ...There's spirit cores here
<Xanatos> <Simon> If that is something we want to attempt to do.
<DeathStar> <Chronos> These are a little young
<DeathStar> <Chronos> We need bigger ones
<DeathStar> *he nods at the bitch black one that is large like a core* Like that one
<DeathStar> <Chronos> Though that one is evil
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Is it normal for them to have memories inside?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Evil?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> So... we grab bigger non-evil ones. Okay.
<DeathStar> <Chronos> Yes. Each Spirit is based on a memory/personality of a person. Then it is dipped into the water and the Spirit is born based off the memroies - they do not retain it, but they are based off it
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Interesting."
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "There are EVIL spirit cores?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "So what do we do?"
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Do the rune spirits function the same way?"
<Dias`> <Id> Why is there any evil spirit core in the first place?
<Xanatos> 6* Simon tries to get a closer at the evil core
<DeathStar> <Chronos> I believe these shards are from a place you call Centerpoint
<DeathStar> <Chronos> And it recorded information on data from time beyond
<DeathStar> <Chronos> And the memories were used as a baseline
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Oh please don't let that be from who I think it is..." *eyes the evil core*
<DeathStar> *they see an evil person called Xevil in that memory*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Sometimes I hate being right."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Xevil. 6* He reads, then shrugs and looks to Chronos.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Should we continue to the next one?
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Avoid that one. Absolutely move on to the next."
<Dias`> <Id> If this place has become tied to Centerpoint, or has always been. Then it would be safe to say the Anti-Magic cannot be allowed to enter here.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah...
<DeathStar> *in the back they see 3 spirit cores near the water*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Those good?
<Alicia> * Kyouki looks them over
<DeathStar> <Chronos> Simply put them into the water to cleanse them. That will be good for the elements. You only need a few of them
<DeathStar> <Chronos> I believe you only need 4
<Xanatos> 6* Simon nods and looks at the names of those cores as well.
<Seraphna> **Jaime moves over to collect them**
<DeathStar> *it seems to be memories of random aliens that Simon wouldn't know, but they lived rather eventful lives on their worlds*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon seems to memorize the names at least and moves to help Jaime.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "This is so weird... but... well, we should only need one more."
<Sara> * Ellie continues to look around, in a half-daze from worry
<DeathStar> <Chronos> Yes, Water, Ice, Earth, and Wind.
<Dias`> <Id> Is there a way to destroy the cores? 6Id turns to Chronos. 1"The one named Xevil should be erased
<DeathStar> <Chronos> For Lightning and Fire, just simply get some of the water in here
<DeathStar> <Chronos> To help them out
<DeathStar> <Chronos> It should help
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I wasn't going to say it myself, but I agree with Id."
<DeathStar> *referring to their corruptive nature*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon nods and pulls out a canteen to fill up with water.
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods and starts collecting the water too**
<Dias`> <Id> It is because you do not possess the ability to speak without fear.
<DeathStar> <Chronos> As for cores, I do not really wish to tell how to destroy a spirit core so casually
<DeathStar> *she notes blandly*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Do you really think that's why?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Totally udnerstandable."
<Dias`> <Id> Then I would suggest you do it yourself in secret.
<Seraphna> Jaime> So let’s get these cleaned up and get moving. We’re not destroying them.
<DeathStar> <Chronos> Lets go to one more location
<DeathStar> <Chronos> And end this
<DeathStar> *she exits the area*
<Dias`> 6Id floats after
<Seraphna> **Jaime folllows**
<Jackieness> <Lana> *heads back out*
<DeathStar> *they step out and find Sylph and Neekito faded out*
<Sara> * Ellie rushes to attend to them and return their cores
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I'm sure you must have a very good reason for allowing the Xevil one to continue to exist, but that doesn't make me comfortable." *heads out*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon nods and moves outside. Then steps over to Sylph and Neekito's cores, waiting for everyone to leave.
<DeathStar> *the door closes once they remove the cores*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Okay...
<DeathStar> <Chronos> Well, I will destroy it one day if I have another two spirits, two to open it, and one to enter and destroy it
<DeathStar> *as their cores are returned, the two Spirits begin to return to normal*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Actually, I think she just doens't want us learning how to death touch her core out of her chest."
<DeathStar> <Chronos> Exactly
<DeathStar> *Chronos takes them to the three core door*
<Dias`> <Id> Which is understandable.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *makes a whine - actually whines*
<DeathStar> <Gnome> That doesn't look fun
<Seraphna> Jaime> Can we use the cores we just took?
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "As is not performing the action once we did it."
<DeathStar> <Neekito> ... I think I might have to sit this one out. I barely feel recovered.
<Sara> <Ellie> Sylphie......... Never do that to me again
<DeathStar> <Chronos> You could but it doesn't have a lot of power yet.
<DeathStar> <Chronos> It is a newly made core.
<Dias`> <Id> Time isn't on your side and if Chronos is right about what we need in here.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Do you think you can walk with help? I don't want to leave you behind."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Do we need to summon more spirits?
<DeathStar> <Neekito> I think I can manage. Thnak you. *she smiles at Nicolette*
<Dias`> <Id> If that is our best option, yes.
<Ariel> * Nicolette helps Neekito up, and supports her.
<DeathStar> *Chronos muses, then reaches into her chest and puts it into one slot, then motions. Gnome swallows and stabs herself, and puts her core into the door*
<DeathStar> *Gnome and Chronos both going down a little; Sylph sighs*
<Seraphna> **Jaime goes white, looking for a third**
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Don't wanna
<Seraphna> **Alita begins to summon Brooke**
<DeathStar> *Brooke appears with some difficulty. The spirit realm shakes a little*
<Xanatos> <Simon> ... 6* He helps Chronos down to a sitting position.
<DeathStar> *as if the Anti Spirits have become more active, sensing Brooke*
<Seraphna> **Alita quickly shows her what’s happening**
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Sorry to rush you, but we're really in a hurry."
<DeathStar> <Brooke> ... *makes a face and after some training, puts her core in and sits beside the other two; the giant door rises*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...things are feeling more volatile out there."
<Dias`> <Id> Hmmm. It would appear that this many Spirits are drawing more of those anti-magic creatures here.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Yes... especially Brooke. The spirit of life
<Xanatos> 6* Simon moves in quickly, looking for more cores.
<Dias`> 6Id floats inside.
<Alicia> * Kyouki hurries inside
<Seraphna> Alita> Yes, move quickly. **she forms a spirit power field**
<Sara> * Ellie carries Sylph in, knowing Nicolette can be trusted to take care of Neekito
<Jackieness> <Lana> *heads inside*
<Seraphna> **Jaime steps in and starts searching**
<DeathStar> *inside seems to be a spirit chamber - probably once before it was closed off long ago, this was a place for the Spirits to live and probably commune, maybe? There's spirit chambers and on the walls are crystals, and each spirit has their own area, all the elements are here.*
<DeathStar> *there's documents on the walls, mainly from the first 3 and the elder spirits*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon pauses at the documents, distracted.
<DeathStar> *and down in the back area one can see the water chambers with cores, lots of them*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *heads over to examine the documents*
<Dias`> 6ID floats over to the documents and begins recording them while studying them
<DeathStar> *The documents are written in a mix of Ancient and some other language, perhaps written in something only spirits used. It looks like the documents are almost see through when one touches them*
<Seraphna> **Jaime focuses on getting the cores they need, not interested in taking her time**
<DeathStar> *as if one has to think and focus on them to keep them there*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "...oh, wow... I need to start carrying a camera."
<Sara> * Ellie looks around, knowing how bad Jaime must feel right now
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *Sits on Ellie's head, glancing around; studying the wind area and all the wind related stuff*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon holds and focuses on them, seeing if Id can then scan them properly.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...we're recording all this..." *said offhandedly*
<Alicia> * Kyouki looks over the documents for a moment, before moving to gather cores
<Dias`> <Id> I am having trouble recording this all, Simon.
<DeathStar> *Simon would see the diaries of all the spirits lock into place*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I've got this section!"
<DeathStar> *for Id*
<DeathStar> *Jaime gains cores, lots of cores*
<DeathStar> *And Kyouki*
<Seraphna> **Jaime does peruse through the Earth section, knowing the least insane Elder needs love too**
<Dias`> 6Id begins recording them now. 1"Thank you, Simon.
<Sara> * Ellie holds Sylph out near the wind stuff
<Sara> * For a better look without having to fly
<DeathStar> *Wind holds up what looks to be strange wind relic*
<DeathStar> *and oohs, putting it on Ellie; it looks to be a head piece. Suddenly ellie is floating*
<Sara> * Ellie lets out a little yelp of surprise
<DeathStar> *Sylph beams at Ellie*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I heard about this. This is the ancient Spirit relic!
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Neat."
<Seraphna> **Jaime bags the cores, looking over the Gnome area**
<DeathStar> *Jaime would see an ancient Earth relic - a glove*
<DeathStar> *Ellie would feel like she could fly a bit and glide*
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks, nabbing it to put on as she goes** Cool. Gnomey will like this.
<DeathStar> *simon would see each spirit used to record their thoughts up to the Ancient War*
<Alicia> * Kyouki looks for a Dark relic
<DeathStar> *avout things on people and each other, and even on the war*
<DeathStar> *the glove is super heavy*
<DeathStar> *she slams down*
<DeathStar> *one needs a strength of 7 to move it*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon tries to read as much as he can in the short time.
<DeathStar> *Kyouki would just see a lame cloak*
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks, shifting it to her inventory for now since Gnome can handle it if she can’t... yet**
<Alicia> * Kyouki picks up the cloak anyway.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Do we have all these records recorded?"
<Xanatos> <Simon> As much as possible. We have the cores? What are these items everyone is looking at?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Can someone strong pick this up for me?
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Headgear that makes you float, a heavy glove and some cloak."
<DeathStar> *Kyouki would find it's a cloak of night, and one can blend in with things*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Oooo, relics." *goes on to look for relics*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> People are picking up the ancient Spirit's stuff
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Should we not be?"
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *shrug*
<DeathStar> *Lana would find each Spirit has one*
<Seraphna> **Alita sighs and calls Talia to herself, sending the kitten in who picks up the gloves effortlessly, making Jaime look silly**
<Xanatos> <Simon> Gather what you must, but remember to make haste. 6* He turns and moves for the exit.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Hmmm..." *tries to catalog what hasn't yet been claimed*
<DeathStar> *as Simon says that the darkness is nearly upon them*
<Dias`> 6Id floats after Simon
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I know." *heads out with cloak and cores*
<DeathStar> *Fire, Water, Lightning, Light*
<Seraphna> **Jaime follows Talia out with the cores**
<DeathStar> *outside, the three spirits are in bad shape*
<Ariel> * Nicolette feels a bit out of place, having a spirit friend, but not a spiritfriend, like seemingly everyone here that isn't a robot.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *gathrs the relics that she cna carry and heads out, planning to gift Light to Selena*
<Alicia> * Kyouki looks over to Nicolette understandingly.
<Sara> * Ellie floats Sylph around outside
<DeathStar> *lana would find the fire relic is burning hot and one has to be strong enough to near it, at least a strength of of 5, the water relic is a water bubble and seems to be grabble, the Light Relic seems to be a sprear*
<DeathStar> *The Lightning Rod one needs a speed of 7 to near due to it shocking people who near it*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *grabs the bubble and light spear then and books it*
<DeathStar> *As Lana gets out, the three spirits are fairly faded*
<DeathStar> <Chronos> Ungh, next time I won't do this
<Jackieness> <Lana> "We need to find a less stupid way to open these doors, then."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon returns each of their cores to them.
<DeathStar> <Chronos> Thank you. *she, Gnome, and Brooke stand up*
<DeathStar> *As the door begins to seal*
<Seraphna> **Jaime pours energy into her wife**
<DeathStar> *the water relic seems to be a bubble that lets one breathe under water*
<Seraphna> **Alita picks up Brooke bridal style**
<Jackieness> <Lana> **studies it then puts her head into the bubble*
<DeathStar> <Brooke> Eh?
<DeathStar> *Lana looks comical, but breathes*
<Xanatos> <Simon> We have what we need, and a little extra information and relics. Now what?
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Do we have anything else we have to do here?"
<Xanatos> <Simon> I don't like the idea of those anti-spirits remaining here.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...well... we cna't let the Anti-Spirits eat this place... it could destroy the multiverse..."
<DeathStar> <Chronos> Now we survive the battle and realign the Spirit Realm with this Prime Universe
<DeathStar> <Chronos> And yes, we need to cleanse the Spirit Realm of those monsters before we do that. Hopefully Erica is doing well
<Xanatos> <Simon> Excellent. Let's prepare for a fight.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh just that? Must be Tuesday.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Takes me back."
<DeathStar> *the group begin to move rapidly across the fields of the Spirit Realm, Neekito leaning on Nicolette. Sylph riding Ellie to battle, and so on*
<Dias`> <Id> I will be sure to record you all fight.
<DeathStar> <Brooke> T-This takes you back?
<DeathStar> *she eyes Kyouki*
<Sara> * Ellie floats along as fast as she can
<DeathStar> *Sylph giggles at Ellie being the one to fly*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Well, it's never been quite this bad..."
<DeathStar> *unaware to everyone, that the Anti-Spirits are planning to eat the Spirit Realm, the broken mirror universe, and the Alternate Crystal Future*
<DeathStar> -TBC-
